Chapter 137: Preparing for a Rainy Day?

One hundred and seventy miles from the ghost king city to the north is a very high mountain, I heard people say that this mountain peak is famous as a thousand thousand, although it seems that this thousand thousand mountains have never had the height of "a thousand thousands", but this mountain peak is red all over, the mountain stone on it is like an axe and a knife chisel in general, it is cold and precipitous, but there is also a bit of the momentum of a thousand thousands.

And at the foot of this mountain peak is located a small city, this city is called Qianren City, presumably it is also through the name of this Qianren Mountain to take such a name. Usually, there are not many ghosts in this Thousand Thousand Miles City, and it seems extremely deserted, but since this period of time, this Thousand Thousand Cities has become a hot meat smelt, and countless ghosts have swarmed in, and its posture seems to squeeze this small city alive! These days, the Yin soldiers guarding the city gate have spent a lot of energy, not to mention that so many people flock to this Qianqian City to check one by one, not to mention, if you encounter a few ghosts and ghosts in the Dragon Elephant Realm, maybe people just can't get used to your posture of checking, and you have nothing to say if you slap you to death.

Originally, these Yin soldiers were still on the orders of the city lord to check the ghosts and ghosts who came and went one by one, but after a few Yin soldiers who had no vision to see were slapped to death by the ghost cultivators who entered the city, the other Yin soldiers did not dare to come forward to interrogate again. Looking at the dense heads outside the city, he simply opened the city gate, and his group hid on the city wall to eat, drink and sleep, but they were also happy. At this time, the city lord himself was already anxious, and he couldn't control it!

On this day, Jiang Lili, Su Mu and Wu Zhou stood outside the city, looking at the wide open city gate, Wu Zhou smiled and said: "The city lord of this city has a really big heart, just open the city gate and let the ghosts enter for the first time, aren't you afraid that there are people with bad intentions to get in?"

Originally, with Wu Zhou's strength to fall to the third mountain now, there was no need to follow him, because there was a ghost cultivator here, although he would not be held back, but there was no help at all when he came. It's just that Jiang Lili was angry yesterday and left in an extremely hurry, Wu Zhou had already taken the cloud sedan chair before he had time to prepare medicine for him, Wu Zhou had no choice, so he had to come along, just say that when the time comes, if you go down to the secret realm, you can just take him into the ghost bag, and if you encounter something difficult and need to discuss, you will call him out, and you will not delay.

At this time, after Wu Zhou said this, a ghost cultivator dressed in martial arts clothes replied: "If it is an ordinary time, it must be investigated, but now is the time when the secret realm of the hell is opened, and there will be a mixture of fish and dragons in this thousand thousand cities, even if these Yin soldiers guarding the city gate are asked to check them, they will not dare, if they are unlucky enough to ask a bad-tempered ghost cultivator? And now even people with bad intentions don't dare to do it, after all, there are too many people in this place, and everyone is heading towards the secret realm of hell. If they attack this thousand cities, wouldn't it be a good thing for them? When the time comes, he will be the one who will die first, who will cause the anger of the people. ”

Wu Zhou's heart moved, and after hugging his fists at this ghost cultivator, he asked: "Listening to the meaning of Your Excellency's words, could it be that this Helling Secret Realm still has a lot to do with this Thousand Thousand Cities?"

This ghost cultivator is not as reckless as others, and after listening to Wu Zhou's question, he did not rush back, but said that he didn't need to call himself Your Excellency, just call himself Lao Cheng.

Wu Zhou also introduced a few of his own people, and after saluting one by one, the ghost cultivator who called himself Lao Cheng returned to Wu Zhou's previous question: "Presumably you are also the first time to come to this Thousand Thousand Miles City, you don't want to see that this Thousand Thousand Cities is lively and prosperous now, but it is only for such a period of time, and it is usually deserted, and even the city lord of this Thousand Thousand Cities does not want to stay here longer." If you look at the surrounding environment, there are strange rocks, thin soil and thick dust, and it looks like a rich place, even people with a sick brain know that there is not much sweetness to taste in this place at all. Therefore, the reason why this Thousand Thousand Cities is located here is extremely strange is only because of the Helling Secret Realm. ”

Lao Cheng was extremely talkative, paused for a moment and then said: "Presumably, the city lord of this Thousand Thousand Cities was also a smart person, and if he built a city in a rich land, it would definitely not last long. He took advantage of this Hell Secret Realm to build a Thousand Thousand Cities in this place for everyone who wants to enter the Secret Realm to settle down, and every thirty-three years when the Hell Secret Realm opens, he can earn a lot of money, and the next thirty-three years only need to digest this money to cultivate. ”

Su Mu thought for a while, "This Qianren City is so easy to make money, isn't it possible that no one wants to take this city?"

Lao Cheng said with a smile, "If you think so, this place is located in the land of Zhongfu, within a radius of more than two hundred miles from the Ghost King City, so it can be called a rich area, but it is only because of this Helling Secret Realm that the surrounding area presents such a desolate appearance." The nearest city here is also a big city, and usually there is only a small city annexing and fighting with each other, where will a big city attack a small city? Moreover, although this thousand thousand cities have made a lot of money during this time, don't forget that this is only once every thirty-three years, in fact, the money earned is not comparable to the tax surplus of ordinary small cities in a year, so no one will do such a thankless thing!"

Su Mu nodded, and suddenly realized.

Lao Cheng looked at the scene in the city of Qianren, and said: "What is the point of standing at the gate of this city all the time? Let's go into this Qianren City, now the rooms in this Qianren City are really in demand." ”

Then he slowly walked towards this thousand thousand cities, and after entering the city, he found that it was a sea of people, shoulder to shoulder, nothing more than that. Jiang Lili was slightly vigilant, "Could it be that these people are all going to enter this secret realm of hell?"

Lao Cheng replied: "Not really, most of them must want to enter the secret realm of the prison, but there are still many people who know that their strength is not good, so they come to this Qianren City to be such a hawker who sells things, and they can also earn a lot of money." ”

Wu Zhou nodded, turned his head and smiled at Lao Cheng: "Brother seems to know this Thousand Thousand Cities very well, is Old Brother Mo not from this Thousand Thousand Cities people?"

Lao Cheng shook his head and replied, "I'm not here."

The people in Qianren City have only come to this prison secret realm five or six times, and they have been born twice and matured, so they also know a lot about the things in this Qianren City, but as you said, they can be called half of the people of Qianren City. ”

Covering his brows, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother has entered the secret realm of the Prison Five or Six times? ”

"Naturally, in fact, this is already a well-known thing, and it doesn't hurt for you to hear it!" Lao Cheng replied: "This Helling Secret Realm is opened once in thirty-three years, and it only takes half a month to open it each time. It takes some money to buy a jade tablet from a few ghost cultivators guarding the secret realm, and when the secret realm is closed, you can naturally go out with this jade tablet when you come to the designated location. If you don't, you'll have to snatch the jade tablet from someone else's hand! Therefore, if you enter the secret realm, you need to keep an eye out for other ghosts, maybe they want to take the jade from your hands. ”

"Jade stele?" Wu Zhou thought for a moment and took out a blue sign from his arms, "Is this the thing?"

This blue sign was given to them by Ma Qinglai when they were leaving, because he didn't say anything about the role when he was in a hurry, but said that he must keep it well.

Lao Cheng glanced at it and was slightly surprised, "I didn't expect you to be so well prepared, you know, this secret realm will not open in a few days, and it will be too late to buy it then." ”

Wu Zhou smiled: "It's just a rainy day." ”

"There's no need to take precautions, isn't it? This jade tablet is not cheap, if you can't get out of it when you encounter something important, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"

"It's okay, the few of us have nothing else to do, so we can't delay. ”

Lao Cheng didn't say anything more, but continued: "Every time it is opened, a layer of dark light will be lit up on this Qianren Mountain, and a blue vortex will appear halfway up the mountain, which is the passage to enter the secret realm." There are many treasures in this Hellish Secret Realm, and it is said that this Secret Realm is accompanied by a Void Battlefield, and these treasures are all left from the Void Battlefield. The secret realm is extremely dangerous, and there are many yin beasts among them, but as long as you don't go deeper, you won't encounter the yin beasts of the dragon elephant realm. Therefore, there are many people who enter this hell secret realm not for treasures, but for these yin beasts. If you can catch a young beast, you will definitely be able to sell it for a good price after leaving the secret realm!"

After a while, a few people walked to a lively restaurant, Lao Cheng introduced: "I have come and gone several times, and this restaurant is the most fair, but I don't know if there are rooms here." ”

I saw Lao Cheng walk to the counter and talk to the shopkeeper with a few words, and after a while, Lao Cheng beckoned to Jiang Lili and a few people, "There are still a lot of rooms, and there is still a surplus for one person, so it's not too late for us to come." ”

Wu Zhou walked up and paid for the three of them, and then looked at Lao Cheng and said, "It's really Brother Lao, I didn't expect the old brother to be so enthusiastic, and the next few people really didn't want to go." Now that it's dinner, why don't you invite my brother to sit down and have a drink?"

Lao Cheng first waved his hand and said that he was not kind enough to help for such a meal, but after looking at Wu Zhou's eyes, he smiled, "That's it, I'll eat you today." It is said that eating people has a short mouth, and taking people is soft, so just ask what you want to ask later!"

Wu Zhou smiled: "My brother is really shrewd. ”

"It's not shrewd, I've lived for so long, and I must have some opinions under the influence of my ears and eyes. When a person is old, if he does not become demented, he must be an old fox. Not to mention that we ghosts live for hundreds or thousands of years. ”

Wu Zhou nodded in agreement, but did not say a word.

Although Lao Cheng is dressed as a martial artist, he does not look rough when he eats wine. I only use chopsticks to pick up a peanut-like thing and put it in my mouth and chew it slowly, and then take a slight sip of the wine glass.

Wu Zhou had a very happy conversation with this old Cheng, and the previous topic was still on this Thousand Thousand Cities and the Secret Realm of the Prison, and then Tiannan and Haibei, and they actually talked about their past experiences as a living person.

Su Mu is the kind of person who doesn't talk much, but listens to people very carefully. Only when Wu Zhou and Lao Cheng mentioned him did he interject, usually he just listened while eating vegetables, and the corners of his mouth naturally hooked up a smile when he heard the funny part.

But Jiang Lili belongs to the kind of person who doesn't listen or interject, just cares about doing her own thing, and doesn't care about other people's conversations. At this time, Jiang Lili looked at the many ghosts coming and going on the street through the window, and secretly wondered what kind of ghost he could count in the secret realm of hell with his current strength. After a while, I suddenly saw a woman walking around the corner of the street.

Jiang Lili narrowed his eyes, he always felt that the woman was a little familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had met. Not long after, seeing the woman walking towards an old man on crutches, Jiang Lili's heart moved, and then she remembered the two of them.

It also goes back to the fact that he just walked out of the land of the Great Sui and returned to the Longjiang River. At that time, because Cheng Ru was unconscious, Jiang Lili also had a quarrel with the pedestrian, and finally it was over. Jiang Lili still remembered that the old man listened to his conversation with Cheng Ruye and asked, "Did you go to the Ghost King City to hunt for treasures?"

Originally, Jiang Lili hadn't paid much attention, but he didn't expect to meet them here. At that time, the old man should have said that it was the secret realm of hell opened by this Ghost King City!

It's just that Jiang Lili remembered that there were still a few young men in the old man's group, but at this time, there were only two figures, the old man and the woman, could it be that those men went elsewhere?

Until the old man and the young woman disappeared from sight, Jiang Lili didn't see the figures of the men, but he didn't

I care, but it's just whether it's in the room or what. And at this time, he remembered that when the old man on the Longjiang River talked about the treasure hunt in the Ghost King City of the Underworld, there was no taboo on his face at all, so he frowned slightly, and couldn't help but interject and ask the old Cheng Dao: "Has there been people from the Yang World who have entered this Helling Secret Realm in the past?"

Lao Cheng was stunned, and then nodded, "Yes, but it's just a few." I heard that it seemed that the city lord of the Ghost King City had reached some kind of agreement with the people of the Yang world, or something, and turned a blind eye to the people of the Yang world entering the secret realm. ”

At the end, Lao Cheng asked, "Why do you ask like this? Could it be that you saw the figure of Yang Shiren on this street?"

Jiang Lili nodded, and Lao Cheng said: "Presumably, you also want to enter the secret realm, if you meet the people of the Yang world in the secret realm, you will see it far away, you don't need to hate, you don't need to make friends, the well water does not violate the river water, and they don't dare to be the ones who provoke trouble, all along, whether it is in the underworld or in the secret of the hell, this rule is followed." ”

These words were extremely sincere, but Lao Cheng didn't know that the two young men sitting opposite were people from the Yang world. first saw Wu Zhou, but he had never felt the breath of yang energy on Su Mu and Jiang Lili's bodies, so he had preconceived thoughts, and only thought that Jiang Lili and Su Mu were ghost cultivators who had successfully washed the dust.

Su Mu's face was a little red, he glanced at Jiang Lili, and found that his face was still calm, so he sighed silently: "I still can't compare to Jiang Boy in this regard, I still need to be more shameless." ”

At this time, Jiang Lili pondered slightly, and asked, "By the way, do you know the Langluo Han sarle?"

Lao Cheng's face became strange, "Could it be that you are still here for the Langluo Han cloth?"

Jiang Lili nodded.

At this time, Lao Cheng looked a little cramped, glanced left and right, and then looked at the three of them very carefully, muttering a few words but not saying a word.

Wu Zhou looked at Lao Cheng's appearance and was slightly suspicious, he had said that there had been no change in the face of the people in the Yang world, why did he become like this Langluo Han Shirt after talking about it?

Lao Cheng shook his head, looked at Wu Zhou's face and couldn't help asking, "You really don't know?"

Wu Zhou looked puzzled, "What do you know?"

Lao Cheng smiled, shook his head again, and then said: "If it weren't for the fact that the Langluo Han gauze has been torn and useless, I really thought you had other thoughts." ”

"What do you mean by that, brother?"

Lao Cheng replied: "When the secret realm was opened last time, it was me who found the Langluo Han dress!"

Wu Zhou suddenly realized, no wonder Lao Cheng changed color after mentioning this Langluo Han sarle, who wouldn't think that you are a character with two hearts?

"I really don't know! A few of us didn't expect such a coincidence!" Wu Zhou smiled: "It's really fate." ”

"When I went out this morning, I felt that something was wrong in my heart, but I didn't expect it to remind me not to go out, otherwise I would meet a group of you! As if stealing news from my mouth!" Lao Cheng laughed, took a slight sip of wine and said: "After I entered the secret realm last time, I just found a few gadgets in the secret realm, and I was attacked by a yin beast. I'm talkative and good friends. But in this kind of treasure hunting, I have always traveled alone, that is, I am afraid that the two brothers will turn against each other after encountering a treasure! Therefore, how can I be the opponent of the Yin Beast? I have no choice but to flee for my life. I don't know when I dug up the ancestral grave of the Yin Beast, but the Yin Beast persevered with me and chased me for five or six days in a row. Eventually, I realized that I had entered an unknown place. It was a strange place, like a palace, but it was in ruins, hidden in the greenery, and it was in that palace that I found the Pulau Han garment. I originally wanted to pick it up, but as soon as I entered the palace, I was attacked by countless ghosts. ”

"Ghosts?"

Lao Cheng nodded, "It's a ghost, and it's the kind of evil ghost who has completely lost his mind and only knows how to kill! Where am I the opponent of so many evil ghosts, so I had to flee from the palace in a hurry." Strangely, as soon as I walked out of the palace, all the demons disappeared. I wasn't reconciled at first, but these ghosts were so fierce that I had no choice but to stop! It's a pity that I was so dizzy that I was chased by the Yin Beast at that time, and I forgot the direction completely, so I can't tell the exact location, but I can only tell you that I was running south. ”

"South?" Jiang Lili silently wrote.

Lao Cheng said again: "But I still can't figure out what you want to do with the Langluo Han Gauze, although this Langluo Han Gauze is indeed a treasure, it can call the yin wind to call the dead rain, and the retreat can open the barrier to raise the foundation, but if it is damaged, the essence in it will dissipate, and it can only be used as a soft armor." The only thing that can be put on the table is the material of this Pulau Han sarle, but there are many more precious things in the Helling Secret Realm than these materials!"

Wu Zhou was about to find an excuse to prevaricate at random, when he suddenly heard a shout outside, followed by Qi Qi's exclamation.

Lao Cheng's heart moved, and he hurriedly ran out of the door, and saw a blue glow appearing on the Qianren Mountain, and halfway up the mountainside, a blue whirlpool appeared out of thin air, and the illusions in it were fleeting.

Lao Cheng muttered: "Why is it open today? Doesn't it mean that at least it will be tomorrow? weird!"

At the end, Lao Cheng turned to look at Wu Zhou and his party with flickering eyes, and smiled helplessly: "You are really planning ahead, at this time, everyone else must be stepping up to buy jade tablets, and all the opportunities are in your hands!"

Wu Zhou pursed his lips and weighed the jade tablet in his hand, "Take precautions?"
