Chapter 10 The City of Caracals

Sure enough, it was an extremely wise thing for Wu Zhou to choose to partner with Natu Caracal City, and it only took four or five days for a few people to reach the foot of Tucaraca City, which was hundreds of miles away. If you walk on your legs and feet, you don't know how long it will take, let alone whether you will encounter any traps on the road, such as accidentally getting involved in a fight between ghosts, or encountering a ghost robbery on the road, etc.

With the banner of Tucaracal City, it is indeed accessible in all directions in the territory of Tucaracal City.

Several people on the road also encountered a few small things, one of which is worth mentioning is that when passing through the Windy City, the city lord of the Windy City did not know where he heard the news, stopped the team, and said that he would ask a few people to get off the sedan chair and eat a cup of yin brew before leaving.

This city lord must have been a scoundrel before, saying that if a few people didn't agree, he would keep lying on the ground and not getting up, and even Zhang Tingyuan had a headache for him. In the end, I had no choice, so I had to invite a few people to get off the sedan chair, eat a banquet in this Windy City, and drink a few cups of yin brew before refusing to stop.

Before leaving, the city lord ran to the ghost mother with a thief's eyebrows and a mouse's eyes, and said that if he couldn't stay in the caracal city, he just came to this windy city, and he would definitely offer the ghost mother to the temple as a bodhisattva, and gave the ghost mother a few good treasures.

This time, although the city lord of the Great Wind City was a little scoundrel, he still couldn't make people angry, and in the end, he only smiled dumbly and said: "This wind eater is really a clever character, and this unscrupulous trick to climb the high branch is really very skilled!"

And the miscellaneous things on the road are not mentioned for the time being, at this time the sedan chair has stopped under the gate of Tuluo City, Cheng Ru opened the curtain and looked up, and saw that there was an extremely large city wall in front of him, the whole body was dark, the bricks and stones were mixed, and the city wall was densely packed with knife marks and sword wounds, and a fierce momentum of iron and blood came to his face.

And on the city wall stood dozens of Yin soldiers holding spears and wearing armor, and there were also many guards standing at the foot of the city wall, two green eyes just skimmed off the ghosts who came and went, and even cut off one of the arms of a wild ghost without saying a word, if you dare to say more, you will see that there is a fierce ghost behind you who has always been hideous and holding a chain, and the two ends of the chain are bright hooks, and they sneered again and again.

Cheng Ru was a little afraid to look at the scene, and retracted his head again and again. But Wu Zhou seemed to be extremely interested, perhaps because the underworld that he had been thinking about for hundreds of years was finally displayed in front of him, and he didn't dare to relax a little and let any scenery fade from his eyes.

It's just that the methods of this Yin soldier are inevitably too bloody and cruel.

saw Zhang Tingyuan slowly move under the city gate, and after showing his identity card, several little ghosts guarding the city gate showed a trace of fear on their faces, bowed and retreated, and yelled at the Yin soldiers on the city wall. The face of the Yin soldier holding a spear on the city wall also changed after hearing this, and after saluting respectfully, he hurriedly opened the valve that controlled the city gate, and heard a loud "squeak" of the city gate, and the city gate with iron cast copper poured slowly opened, and the scenery behind the city wall slowly showed in front of everyone's eyes.

The style in the city is actually not much different from the scenery of the inner city of the ghost city in South Korea, but the ghosts in the city are even more mixed, with sharp horns on the head, bone spurs on the back, oxtail behind him, etc., Hao Ran is a group of demons dancing wildly. It's just that the only thing that chills people's hearts is that there are scattered remnants of value in unnoticeable places such as street corners and alleys, and there are still more than a dozen heads of various imps hanging on the eaves of a storefront.

The sedan chair slowly drove into the caracal city, and all the little ghosts scattered on the street hid, and they only dared to secretly stretch out one eye behind the window to look at the magnificent sedan chair, silent.

Just glanced outside, Cheng Ru didn't dare to look at it anymore, turned his head to look at the expressionless Jiang Lili and the others, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that there are ghosts fighting on this street and no one cares about it?"

Wu Zhou shook his head and sighed again, "Follow the customs of the countryside, maybe this is what it looks like in the underworld." ”

Cheng Ru stopped making a sound, only supported his head with his hands, not knowing what he was thinking.

I only felt that the sedan chair had twisted and twisted a few times, and it stopped after about a time of one or two incense sticks, and then I heard a question from outside the sedan chair, it was Zhang Tingyuan, "Niangniang, now that I have arrived at the city lord's mansion, Niangniang can come down and rest." ”

Wu Zhou gave everyone in the sedan chair a look, and the ghost mother took a light breath and mumbled.

The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and the ghost mother slowly got out of the sedan chair, followed by Jiang Lili and the others.

After getting off the sedan chair, I found that there was a very tall building standing in front of me, like a lighthouse, and on all floors of this building stood several fierce and vicious Yin soldiers. Underneath the building was a slightly ornate gate, which was open, and behind it stood a three-eyed imp dressed in fine clothes.

This little ghost is no different from ordinary people except for a vertical eye on his forehead, except for the sharp-beaked monkey gills, which is extremely shrewd. This little ghost ran to the front of the ghost mother in broken steps, knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed three times to the ghost mother.

After kowtowing three heads, the little ghost said respectfully: "It must be the ghost mother, the little one is the steward in the city lord's mansion, and his name is Three Eyes." The lord of the city has been talking about Niangniang for a while, and he asked Niangniang to come with me. ”

The name of the three eyes is quite fitting, Cheng Ru couldn't stop looking at the forehead of the three eyes, thinking that he was just kowtowing on his forehead

Is the vertical eye closed or open, if it is open, will the eyes enter the city inside, is it uncomfortable, does it hurt?

was still thinking about it, so he only heard Wu Zhou call him in a low voice, only to find that everyone had already walked to the door. Turning his head to see Zhang Tingyuan, who was still looking at him with extremely disgusted eyes, he hurriedly didn't dare to stay longer, and quickly followed the footsteps of several people.

After passing through this lighthouse-like building, there is a small garden in front of you, although this garden is also the same as the Yangshi Courtyard, but the flowers and trees in the courtyard are exuding a strong smell of blood, and a big red flower in the center of the garden is flowing with a trace of blood, and it is like a psychic following the footsteps of a few people to "look" towards this side!

The three eyes frowned, and after saying an apology to the ghost mother, he suddenly pulled out the knife on his waist, rushed to the front of the big red flower, and directly cut the big red flower in half with a knife, and saw a stream of blood shoot out, and heard a sad wail, and a touch of yin slowly floated out from the red flower, and finally the soul flew away.

The surrounding vegetation gathered its branches and leaves, and shrunk into a ball like a frightened mimosa, shivering.

Cheng Ru's face turned pale with fright, and even Jiang Lili suddenly felt a thrill in his heart and was taken aback.

There was a touch of scarlet splashed on the three eyes, and he didn't care, and he trotted in front of everyone with a few steps bowed over, and looked up to see that the faces of several people were not very good, and they thought that the ghost mother was annoyed by the "boldness" of the red flower, and quickly explained: "Don't blame Niangniang, don't blame Niangniang." These days have been fighting, there are many dead and wounded ghosts, and they can't even use up the flesh and blood, so they poured it in this garden, but they didn't expect to develop a proud temperament for them, and they thought that they were the masters of this place, so they dared to be presumptuous to Niangniang. ”

The ghost mother was silent for a moment and then asked, "Is there a trace of yin in these plants and trees?"

The three eyes didn't dare to wonder why the ghost mother would ask such questions, so they only replied truthfully: "Exactly, all the plants and trees in this underworld are black, or they are bruised, so I have to lock a yin soul in these plants and trees, not only can the grass and trees be more colorful, but this yin soul can also be used as nourishment for the grass and trees, killing two birds with one stone!"

At the end, the three eyes hurriedly expressed their determination and said: "It's just that these yin spirits are cheap skins one by one, and after being watered with blood for a few days, they don't know their names and surnames, and it's already unbelievable!

Cheng Ru couldn't bear it in his heart, and when he was about to persuade two sentences, Wu Zhou grabbed his hand, and then remembered the distinction between three, six, nine, and so on in this underworld, so he had to close his mouth tightly, but he still glanced at the grass and trees, and his heart was slightly cold.

"No need. The ghost mother seemed to see Cheng Ruyi's thoughts, or maybe there was a trace of softness hidden in her heart, and she replied in a cold voice: "After you kill that red flower, you will kill chickens and monkeys, and other plants and trees will not dare to be presumptuous anymore, just don't water them with blood water in the future!"

The three eyes nodded hurriedly, "Niangniang is really smart, it is this Li'er, the little one will beat up the few little ghosts who are responsible for taking care of the flowers and trees, and make them have a long memory." ”

Listening to the words of the three eyes, the ghost mother wanted to persuade again, but when the words reached her throat, she swallowed it, and only followed the customs of the villagers, and no longer cared about the affairs of the city lord's mansion, so she said: "Lead the way." ”

"Yes!"

Bypassing a few flowery gardens, at this time everyone didn't dare to look at it anymore, only burying their heads and walking forward, not long after, I saw three eyes stopped in front of a majestic hall, and then turned around and kowtowed to the ghost mother and said: "Niangniang, the city lord has been waiting in this hall for a long time, and these slaves of Niangniang took them to live in the courtyard first... ”

"Shall they go in with me?"

The three eyes were a little embarrassed, there had never been a few slave imps who could enter the city lord's banquet hall, and he had never encountered such a "difficult to serve" guest, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Just as he was hesitating, a hearty laugh came from the hall, "Since Niangniang has a deep relationship with these ghost slaves, why not bring them into this hall?"

The three eyes heard that this was the voice of the city lord, so they breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The little one will retire first." ”

The ghost mother slowly walked into the hall, and saw a middle-aged man with handsome eyebrows walking forward. After the middle-aged man saw the ghost mother, his eyes obviously lit up, and he quickened his pace again and again, "I heard that my subordinate said that the ghost mother is charming, but now when I see it, sure enough, I also invite the mother to take a seat." ”

The ghost mother hesitated for a moment, and followed the guidance of the middle-aged man to sit down, but Jiang Lili and the others had never been invited by the city lord, and because of the rules of the underworld, they all stood behind the ghost mother. The ghost mother instinctively glanced back at Jiang Lili, and turned her head silently after waking up.

The middle-aged man frowned slightly after seeing this scene, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I am the city lord of this Tu Shan City, whose name is Jiushi, and I don't know the name of Niangniang?"

The ghost mother replied coldly: "It's good to just call it the ghost mother, why do you still ask for a name?"

Maybe it was because he was afraid of the strength of the ghost mother, or maybe it was because of something else, after the slightly disrespectful words of the ghost mother fell on Hisaishi's ears, he didn't show any anger on his face, and only smiled: "Since it should be like this, it is abrupt." ”

Suddenly, I heard a coquettish laugh from behind the door, and a moment later a little girl in a yellow dress ran up. This little girl is about the same age, with two ponytail watches, a delicate face, and after calling out to her father, she saw Jiang Lili and a few people behind the ghost mother, and immediately frowned, covered her nose and said in disgust: "Why is there still this kind of little ghost running in here? Could it be that the three eyes are not doing well? Daddy, why don't you drive these little ghosts out quickly, and then kill those three eyes with one sword, and send a more flexible little ghost tomorrow to do things." ”

Jiang Lili was not annoyed at the moment, but was slightly shocked by the word "daddy" in the little girl's mouth, thinking that this ghost will have descendants?

"Jiulin, how can you be so rude with a distinguished guest here?!"

Scolding is scolding, but there is no blame in Jiushi's tone, more of a spoiling, and then he turned his head and said to the ghost mother: "Ghost mother, this is the little girl Jiulin, you also know that we are ghost cultivators. . . . There is no way, so I spoil a lot, and I have developed an arrogant temper and ask the ghost mother not to blame. ”

At this time, Wu Zhou was standing behind her, and she couldn't see Wu Zhou's eyes, and the ghost mother was a little cramped for a while, so she only hummed softly.

Hisashi didn't care, squatted down and whispered something to Jiulin, who nodded extremely reluctantly, turned around and walked away, but when he left, he still glanced at Cheng Ru and Jiang Lili with great disgust.

"I've been sitting for so long, and I haven't served dishes to the ghost mother, so I really shouldn't be down. Saying that, Hisaishi shouted: "Come on, go to the yin, and then have a pot of good yin brew!"

There were several feminine women dressed in light gauze who stepped forward with various dishes, and after a while, the table in front of them was already occupied by dishes, and it was indeed a full banquet.

At the dinner table, Hisaishi talked eloquently, talking loudly about how he single-handedly built this Tucaracal City in the first place, and how he built this Tucaracal City into the strength it is today.

The ghost mother was a little cramped, because she was swaggering at the dinner table, and Jiang Lili, her nominal lord, was standing behind her, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable. It was only after sitting at this table for two or three pillars of incense that the ghost mother made an excuse, saying that she was struggling to cultivate these days, and she needed to find a secluded place to cultivate.

For ghosts, cultivation is the first major thing, and this Hisaishi seems to have a sense of unfinished, but he didn't say much, and hurriedly sent someone to find a quiet place for the ghost mother.

The person who led the way was still the three eyes, and after he knew the temperament of the ghost mother, he arranged a small courtyard for a few people, and when he left, he said that he would not be disturbed by anyone, and if the ghost mother was like a slave to serve, he only needed to call outside the door.

After the three eyes were gone, Wu Zhouzai carefully inspected the surroundings of the yard and found that no one had buried eyeliner here, and then sat leisurely in the courtyard.

Jiang Lili turned his head to look at Wu Zhou after walking around the courtyard for a week, and asked, "Can you see what kind of realm that City Lord Jiushi is?"

Wu Zhou shook his head, "My current realm has fallen to the edge of the fourth mountain, and it is already a blessing that I did not fall to the third mountain, how can I still see it? ”

Jiang Lili turned her head to look at the ghost mother, who hesitated slightly, "Our group is in his city-state, and I don't dare to snoop on it." Judging from the momentum he revealed between talking and laughing, there will be no shortage of dragon elephant realms. Well, it should be the strength of the peak of the Dragon Elephant Realm. ”

"Sure?" Jiang Lili asked again.

The Ghost Mother shook her head, "I can be sure that he has the strength of the Dragon Elephant Realm, but whether he has already ascended to the Ascension Xuan is unknown." But even if he ascends to the Xuan realm, he is only the first to enter the ascending realm. ”

Jiang Lili nodded, paced a few steps in the courtyard and said to the ghost mother, "Have you recovered your strength now?"

"It has been largely restored, but there are still some defects on the foundation, which cannot be seen in ordinary battles, and if it is a protracted war, this defect will definitely be exposed in the eyes of the enemy. ”

Jiang Lili's face was a little embarrassed, and when he didn't know how to deal with himself, Wu Zhou smiled and said: "There's no need to be so entangled, the strength of the ghost mother is here, and the battle between this caracal city and the murderous city is approaching, it is impossible for them to attack us at this time." Besides, even if the ghost mother can beat that Hisaishi, there are countless Yin soldiers under Hisashi to send, and it will be us who will suffer when the time comes. Now it's the right thing for us to be at peace with this caracal city. ”

In the end, Wu Zhou persuaded again: "I know that you don't want to stay in this place for long, and you want to go to the land of Zhongfu as soon as possible to find the Yin Envoy." But now that your body is in deficit, what should you do if you encounter trouble on the road? It is better to stay here for a little longer, take the shelter of Tu Caracal City, and take care of your body as soon as possible, so that we can leave early. ”

Wu Zhou's words were very pertinent, but Jiang Lili was still a little annoyed, and after taking out the Tiger Soul Knife from his waist and throwing a few knife flowers at random, he turned his head to look at Cheng Rusi, "Cheng is called Hua, what do you think?"

Since entering this picture caracal city, Cheng Ru has been depressed, and after passing through those three eyes and slashing those many red flowers, his mood has become more and more depressed, and after hearing Jiang Lili's words, he slowly took off the clothes of this slippery ghost, and only said that he was tired and turned his head into the house.

Jiang Lili looked at Cheng Ruyi's back and didn't say a word, Wu Zhou sighed, "Follow the customs of the locals, where is it so simple?"
