Chapter 229: Open the door
Yuyang wanted to talk to her several times, but swallowed before he could open his mouth.
The boat traveled silently for a hundred miles in the middle of the river before approaching the opposite bank. It didn't take long for a bright pier to come into view.
Unlike the simple wharves that came when it came, this place is a large passenger and cargo port, where countless ships come and go, and the shore market is full of people, and this place is ten times more prosperous than Nai Ha Town.
Lingling's eyes widened, and he felt that his perception of the Netherworld had been completely subverted.
Yuyang was also surprised, and opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak. The bull-headed horse didn't react to this, but wondered why the boatman said that he was the only one on the ferry.
The boatman slowed the boat down, slowly moored in front of a bollard, tied the cable and let everyone disembark.
The bull head walked at the end, and the boatman suddenly said: "Although there are many boats, I am the only one who ferries on both sides of the strait." ”
Yuyang suddenly turned back to the boatman at this moment and asked, "Two hearts are connected, and there is a soul in the heart?"
The boatman laughed and said, "Looks like you know quite a lot." ”
Although the boatman did not answer his question directly, Yuyang knew that if he didn't answer, he would answer, so he respectfully gave the boatman a junior salute.
Seeing this, Lingling also followed suit, but the boatman dodged and avoided it. Then said: "I can't afford your gift, if I really accept it, I don't know when I will return it in the future, it's not cost-effective, it's not cost-effective." ”
Ling Ling was stunned, and before he could think clearly, the boatman had already dodged into the boat next to him.
Seeing that the boatman didn't want to pay any more attention to them, Lingling walked towards the shore first.
Yuyang chased after her, but he didn't dare to walk side by side with her anymore, just followed behind.
A few people came to the market to find out that this place is called Santu River, which is an important trading town outside the prefecture, and those who come here to do business are those famous demons and monsters in the three mountains and five mountains.
"Yuyang, how did you say they got here?" this was the first time Lingling spoke to Yuyang after boarding the ship. Ling Ling also said casually at the beginning of the question, after all, among the four people, Niu Tou Ma Mian is a subordinate, and only Yuyang is a friend, although the two of them are unpleasant, but they have long been accustomed to each other's existence along the way.
Yuyang was also thinking about this matter, looking at the carriages and porters coming and going from the south to the north, and the demons and monsters with different appearances, he didn't notice that Lingling took the initiative to talk to him. Said casually: "It's really strange, although this place has not gone deep into the Netherworld, whether it is the Nai River or the Lechuan River, they have to pass through the Ghost Gate Pass through the capital city, and such a huge trade team is definitely not an overnight thing." ”
"That's right, although this city lord only has his name, but I still know the changes in the capital city, as for the bronze gate of the ghost gate, Schenk also said that it should be solved as soon as possible. Just listening to them, it seems like they come once every few months. Lingling said thoughtfully while paying attention to the movements of the people next to him.
The two chatted very naturally, as if the previous unpleasantness had not happened.
A few people wandered around in the bazaar and found that the variety of goods here is really complete, in addition to daily necessities, all kinds of spirit stones, natural treasures, weapons and spirit runes, etc., you can find special shops here.
The more people strolled, the more incredible they became, this was just an ordinary distribution center in the port, and the variety of goods was so rich. If you enter the big towns inside, you really don't know what it will be like.
At this moment, Lingling and Yuyang had long forgotten the previous mustard and began to talk and laugh. Niu Tou Ma Mian followed behind, after all, he was a subordinate, so he never dared to interject or say anything. The bull head suddenly grabbed the horse beside him and pulled him towards the crowd on the left.
Although Ling Ling and Yu Yang knew that they were leaving, they didn't care, and they were still chatting about the strange spirit rune they had just seen.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you, where are you going to take me?" Ma Mian followed the bull head with a puzzled expression.
The bull head looked nervous, pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.
The two walked through three streets in quick succession before stopping at a corner where there were relatively few people.
The cow's head was sweating profusely, and if it hadn't been for the fact that he didn't let go of his grip on the horse's face, I'm afraid he would have fallen to the ground by this time.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you, what's wrong?" Ma Mian asked again.
The bull head gasped for a while, looked around cautiously for a moment before saying, "I just saw the relics of the Buddha. ”
Ma Mian looked dazed, and he didn't know what this relic was, but seeing that the bull head was so nervous, he asked: "What is it?"
The bull head slowed down for a while before saying, "It's the king, it's the ......."
"King VI of the Mauryan Empire. ”
A voice appeared from far and near, behind the two of them.
Hearing the sound, the bull's face turned pale and his whole body trembled, and he slowly turned around and bent down in the direction of the sound, and crossed his hands across his chest and bowed.
"I didn't expect that, I didn't expect to meet acquaintances in this foreign land. "The voice is a little jerky but very magnetic, and just by listening to the voice, you can tell that the person speaking is not very old.
Ma Mian also turned around with the bull's head, and saw more than a dozen people standing in front of him, with some strange clothes on their bodies, with shoulders but not shoulders, and capes without cloaks. Everyone is of medium stature, with a wide nose and thick lips, curly and wavy hair, and a dark brown to black complexion.
And the leader is gorgeously dressed and clean-faced, and he has his own authority when he stands in front of the crowd. At this moment, he is turning a blind eye to the salute of the bull's head.
The bull head still maintained a saluting posture and did not dare to get up easily, Ma Mian was a little overwhelmed at this time, and frowned: "Big brother, who is he, he is also worthy of you?"
The leader saw that Ma Mian didn't recognize him, he laughed, and someone behind him said: "That Ma Mian, this is the sixth king of the Mauryan Dynasty, come and pay a visit." ”
After hearing this, Ma Mian chirped: "What Peacock Dynasty, what Sixth King, the lord of a secular dynasty dares to spread wild in the Netherlands, has he not been beaten?"
After hearing this, the relics were extremely angry, and it was really rare for Ma Mian to dare to slap him in front of him. Although he was angry, he still smiled, and said to the horse: "A little demon dares to be so bold, come and kill someone." ”
As soon as the killing word came out, two people walked out of the guards behind him and pounced on the horse.
When the horse face spoke, the bull head knew that things were not good, and no longer bothered to maintain a saluting posture, and directly threw the horse face next to him to the ground. bar
Before Ma Mian could figure out what was going on, there were already four knife marks on the wall behind him.
Before the horse could come to his senses, the bull head was already pulling him towards a path beside him.
Although there were few people in the place where they were moving, there were still a bunch of people who were willing to watch the excitement, and many of them were cultivators. When they saw the four knife marks on the wall, and saw the guards with their hands empty and the scimitar still in the sheath, their hearts were shocked, and some people even whispered: "Yiyi transforms into form, what a domineering sword qi!"
Seeing that the bull head was running away again, he didn't care, he still maintained his kingly demeanor, leading people to chase behind, but his chase looked more like a walk.
Ma Mian was pulled by the bull head and ran for a while and began to run on his own, thinking of the four knife marks behind him, he said with palpitations: "Big brother, when did you offend them, why are you so powerful?"
As he ran, the bull said, "He is my king, and although I obey the orders of the Buddha, I will obey the king's control." Ever since I followed the Buddha here, I have betrayed the Mauryan Empire. ”
Ma Mian didn't know anything about the Peacock Dynasty at all, and he was confused at the moment, so he asked: "Why do you obey the orders of the Buddha but be subject to the king's control." Isn't the Buddha the greatest?"
The bull head gasped and said: "This is the rule set by the Buddha back then, unless I can achieve positive results, I will not be able to break away from the control of the world, and this is also a strategy to maintain the long-term development of the Mauryan Dynasty." ”
Lingling suddenly came to his senses, and he looked around for a while before remembering what had happened before.
When they all woke up, the little man began to speak. Xiao Er's words were obviously for Lingling.
Yuyang whispered a few words in Ling Ling's ear, and Ling Ling moved a chair and sat opposite Xiao Er, waiting for him to speak.
The bull head and horse face naturally stood behind Lingling, waiting for Xiao Er to start talking.
Seeing that several people were ready, Xiao Er smiled and said, "The purpose of each is Daishan Prefecture, right?"
Seeing Xiao Er ask again, several people nodded yes.
The villain briefly talked about that side of things. Xiao Er confirmed again and began to tell.
Daishan Difu is actually two places in Daishan and Difu. Daishan is Mount Tai in the world, which is considered to be the extreme place by the world, so there is the custom of sealing Zen since the beginning of China, and then the emperors of the past dynasties worship heaven and earth in this place. Worship the sky because Mount Tai is located in the east, where the sun rises and where all things originate. However, few people know the land mentioned in the sacrifice, because the land here is the underworld, and the souls of the dead return to Daishan.
Maybe many people will think that this is just a coincidence, but at this moment, the spirit suddenly remembered that Schenck said that the land of the most yang has the qi of extreme yin, and the land of the supreme yin has the qi of extreme yang, and the extreme of things must be reversed.
Xiao Er didn't say it very specifically, after all, the focus was not on Daishan, so Lingling's sudden expression just flashed, and he continued to listen to Xiao Er's story.
But the latter thing was unexpected by several people, because the underworld that Xiao Er said was renovated and renovated by several generations of city lords, and the current lord of the underworld, Satan, has made a particularly prominent contribution to this place.
The biggest achievement in this middle is to open up two roads, the Huiyang Road and the Reincarnation Road. The road back to Yang is the road of Yang, which corresponds to Yang retreat, which can be advanced or retreated. And the path of reincarnation is the path of yin, which refers to the entry of yin, which refers to the entry and exit of the body.
Those ghosts and demons who enter reincarnation will take the path of reincarnation, while the administrator will take the path of returning to the sun.
When Xiao Er said this, Yuyang couldn't help but interject: "Then there is a limit to the way back to Yang, right?"
Xiao Er said with a smile: "Guest officer, this is the role of greatly replenishing yin qi in the dishes of the small shop, only when the cultivation reaches a certain level, can you set foot on the road back to yang." It is said that this road was forcibly opened by the current lord of the underworld, so it is difficult to take half a step without any real skills. ”
Ling Ling sneered and said: "Cut, no wonder there are so many puppets, the feeling is that there are too few people who have the ability to walk that road, so I got so many puppets to work." ”
Yuyang thought about it and felt that there was some truth, so he smiled: "Indeed, otherwise, wouldn't the eighteen layers that have been opened up in the past dynasties be unmanaged." ”
Xiao Er didn't say anything to them, just smiled and said: "The boss has a good heart, and he knows that everyone who goes to the underworld is not necessarily for reincarnation, so he opened a restaurant here, hoping to help people in secret." At the same time, he also wants to help the current lord of the underworld in secret, so that he can find some capable people among those who come and manage them together. ”
Yuyang remained skeptical about Xiao'er's words, but he could say so much that he could be regarded as benevolent, and besides, he couldn't find any problems in his words.
"Xiao Er, who is your boss?" Ling Ling was very jealous of the boss who had never even met him. You must know that the possession technique alone can make the spirit spirit with full firepower deflated, and ordinary people really can't do it.
Xiao Er said with a sad face: "Guest officer, the boss doesn't allow us to tell his name, forgive me." ”
Yuyang saw that after the ceremony outside, the big three words on the plaque were very eye-catching, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Nai He Bridge, Nai He Bridge, Nai He Bridge on the Road!" and then smiled at Xiao Er: "Ask the little second brother, then the Nai He Bridge is the road of reincarnation, right? ”
At this time, Xiao Er got up and came to the table, made bowls of steaming Danhua soup in the pottery kettle, and then asked everyone to take it.
The faint aroma of flowers and elixirs came from the light and colorless soup, which made several people want to dry it in one gulp. But the bull's head and horse face had a difficult face, although there was more of this fragrance as an elixir, but the floral fragrance still made them feel uneasy.
Seeing this, Xiao Er smiled and said: "Two guest officers, this is the specialty of our store, Danhua soup." ”
Lingling took a sip first, and found that it tasted good, and after entering the stomach, he was refreshed and his spirit was much stronger, knowing that it was indeed not ordinary, so he drank it in one gulp.
Yuyang also drank it, but he was cautious by nature for fear that something would go wrong, so he cast a small trick to cover his eyes, which seemed to be drunk in one gulp, but in fact he quietly poured it into the water bladder he carried.
Seeing that both of them had drunk it, the bull head and horse noodles had no choice but to drink it together.
Xiao Er saw that several people drank the Danhua soup, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, please go to the ferry with the villain." ”
"Ferry?" Yuyang asked.
"Well, after crossing the Lechuan River there, you can see Huiyang Road. Xiao Er said with a smile.
Lingling frowned and said, "Why did you come out of the Lechuan River again?"
Xiao Er pointed to the Nai River outside the window who was putting a plaque on the bridge and said: "Yin and yang, virtual and real, what you see may not be true, Nai River is also the Lechuan River, but what you see is the Nai River, and the place where the flowers bloom on the other side is the Lechuan River." Only after crossing the Lechuan River can you embark on the road back to Yang. ”
Ling Ling rubbed his temples and said, "It's a little complicated, just take us directly." ”
Xiao Er smiled and led everyone down the second floor.
