Chapter 42: Old Man Shangde

Yuan Bao still hired Ah Man, a short dwarf, not only sympathizing with the ghost clan, but this Ah Man reminded him of the predecessors of Wutian Punishment.

Ah Man happily led the way in front of him, walked to the huge and wide staircase, and said: "The third floor is inhabited by our ghost clan civilians, there is nothing to see, there is dirty garbage everywhere, two are distinguished guests, I will lead you to the prosperous second floor, where there is everything." ”

The huge staircase is more than ten zhang wide, there are as many as 100 steps, all of them are polished with unknown black rocks, and there are many terrifying reliefs on it, such as six-headed long-tongued monsters, three-legged monsters, eight-armed gods, etc., each relief is colorful, really terrifying.

As soon as Yuan Bao walked halfway, he was attracted by the relief of an eight-armed strange man, and wondered: "Senior girl, I remember those riddles are, Sanzhang Mountain, passing through the green mountains, fire in the fire, eight-armed psychic heaven, right?"

Master Li stopped his angle and said, "That's right, these few sentences are the riddles handed down by Master Li when he sealed the Divine Sword. ”

Yuan Bao pointed to the eight-armed monster relief and said, "Look at this pattern, it is also eight-armed, will it have any relevance?"

Master Li glanced at it a few times, and his face gradually became solemn. The relief is so vivid that it can be seen that this strange man not only has eight arms, but also four heads, but on each head there is only one dark green eye, just in the middle of the forehead, and the facial expression on each head is very terrifying, some are angry, some are sad and painful, and they look quite hideous.

At this time, Ah Man immediately came to his senses and explained: "This is the eight-armed god of our ghost clan, and legend has it that in ancient times, he fought with the fire master of the human race, Zhurong, on the nine heavens, and fought for three days and three nights!"

Yuan Bao retracted his gaze, he had never heard of this legend at all, most of it was made up by the ghost clan themselves for the sake of face, thinking about how good the legendary fire master Zhu Rong was, how could he be beaten by an eight-armed and four-headed monster for three days and three nights?

He looked at Master Li and said, "Whether this eight-armed monster has anything to do with the eight-armed Lingtian, let's check it carefully, and now let's go to the old man Shangde who Gongzi Chu saw for the last time." ”

Ah Man's face suddenly changed, and he shouted loudly: "What an eight-armed monster, Childe, this is an eight-armed god." ”

"Gotta gotcha, eight-armed god. ”

Yuan Bao is lazy to care with him whether this is a monster or a god, everyone has their own beliefs, and everyone's worldview is not comprehensible, this is the difference between the two peoples.

In the ghost clan, the eight-armed god is omnipotent, kills countless people, and is revered as a god. And in the Terrans, this is the cruel and bloodthirsty eight-armed monster.

The three of them walked down the stairs, and it was very lively, with a total of four areas, east, west, north and south, and more than a dozen wide streets.

As soon as Ah Man walked down the stairs, he suddenly became silent, as if he was born with inferiority.

They were on a huge main street that ran through the center of the city. It is flanked by shops selling things, no different from a mortal city.

To the surprise of Yuan Bao and Master Li, there are still many human beings here, most of whom open shops to sell things, but these human beings live in this ghost town with a strong yin qi all year round, with pale skin and purple eye circles.

The street was very wide, with three side by side, and all the ghost people walked on the left and right sides of the road, but the main road in the middle, which was about three feet wide, was not manned. There are often mortals here, and it is not unusual for the ghost people on the street to see the two of them.

Yuan Bao was greatly surprised, and walked towards the main road three zhang wide in the middle, and at the end there was a huge stone tablet, which seemed to have three big characters written on it with blood dragon and phoenix: Yin and Yang Road.

The font of these three words is clumsy, into the stone three points, the gesture is vigorous and powerful, the last stroke of each word is elongated, it seems that the person who writes this word is too sharp, can not contain the pen force at all, and faintly has the meaning of breaking the sky. In addition, these three words are as red as blood, and when you get closer, you can smell a faint smell of blood, and the big stone tablet that is several feet high seems to have been banned by the masters, faintly exuding a strange energy. It also raised the interest of ingots.

Ah Man was taken aback, dragged the ingot, and shouted: "That road can't be, it's the yin and yang road, don't offend the gods." ”

Yuan Bao disagreed, and said, "I don't believe that the gods of the ghost clan can do anything with me. ”

"You better take his word for it, it's a road that can't be taken. An eerie voice came from the corner.

Master Li turned his head to look, but saw an old man of the Terran race with his head wrapped in black cloth leaning on the end of the city smoking a dry cigarette.

Yuan Bao saw that this old man was a human being, so he walked over and said, "Old man, you are a human being, how can you be in this ghost town?"

The old man smoked a dry cigarette, raised his eyelids and glanced at the ingots, then pointed to the brightly lit street in front of him, and said, "Little brother, what do you see?"

Yuan Bao looked at it and saw that in this mysterious ghost town, countless people from the ghost clan were walking on the two streets, and from time to time there were shouts of selling things, and he was puzzled, and said, "Isn't it a ghost town?"

The old man shook his head and said, "What is the difference between this place and the human city? They are all human beings, and they are all ants in the eyes of heaven, so why should there be a distinction between humans and ghosts?" You see that these ghost people get along well with those humans, and there is no feud, so it is the same here as outside. ”

Yuan Bao seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but Master Li beside him said lightly: "This time I came to the ghost town, it is indeed a big surprise to us, but after all, this is a place where yin qi gathers, and human beings have lived here for a long time, they will be intimidated by yin qi, and they will definitely die if they are less than thirty." ”

The old man nodded and said, "You are right, the people who enter the ghost town are the ones who can't go back, the female doll, you are the disciple of Yuxuzi." ”

Master Li said: "The respected teacher is the jade xuzi, may I ask who the predecessor is?"

Ah Man seemed to be extremely reluctant and said: "This little old man is the old man Shangde you are looking for, he originally lived in Beicheng, why did he come to Nancheng today, but I will take you down, you still have to give me silver." ”

When Yuan Bao heard that this old man with his head wrapped in a black cloth was actually Shangde in Mu Zilin's mouth, and saw at a glance where Master Li came from, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and casually gave Ah Man a silver ingot, and said, "Don't worry, you won't be short of money." ”

Ah Man He had seen such a big ingot of silver, which was twenty taels, and immediately smiled, thanked the two of them goodbye, and ran to drink and drink.

Seeing that Ah Man was gone, Yuan Bao's eyes fell on the old man Shangde, and said, "The seniors are waiting for us here, right?"

The old man nodded, knocked the dry tobacco on the corner of the wall, then pinned it to his waist, and took out something from his arms, which was actually a folding fan, but it was bloodstained.

Of course, Yuan Bao had seen this fan, so he hurriedly took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was the powerful magic weapon mountain and river fan that Chu Tianyun carried closely.

At this moment, the mountain and river fan no longer has that kind of aura, the mountain pattern on the fan has disappeared, and the whole fan seems to have been soaked in blood for a long time, turning a red color, which is shocking. Obviously, Chu Tianyun had waged fierce battles against unknown enemies, and with his profound Taoism, he was also seriously injured and lost the mountain and river fan.

Yuan Bao said: "Senior, where did you find this fan?"

"You can rest assured, Gongzi Chu is now recuperating in a very safe place, he was just inspired by the yin qi of the Yin Spring, and finally relied on perseverance to defeat the inner demon, there is no danger, I am waiting for you two here, it is entrusted by him, he knows that there will be people from Shushan Gate who will come to look for him under the abyss. ”

Speaking of Chu Tianyun, Old Man Shangde's cloudy eyes glowed with a faint color, as if he remembered himself when he was young. The same excellent, the same handsome and chic.

Yuan Bao looked at him, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you seniors, I don't know the name of my seniors?"

The old man Shangde said: "Everyone here knows that my name is Shangde, hey, as for the previous name, I have long forgotten it, so don't say it." ”

Yuan Bao was quite suspicious in his heart, and his intuition told him that this old man must be a peerless master, but the world is so big, there are countless strange people, and he can't guess that an old man with a strange surname will live in this extremely yin abyss ghost city all year round.

The old man Shangde glanced at Yuanbao's sword and said hoarsely: "You are very good, the reincarnation sword technique will definitely be carried forward in your body, I am afraid that in the future, my achievements will surpass your master Zhuge Kong Fang." ”

Yuanbao's face changed slightly, took half a step back, and said, "You, do you know me?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know you, but I can feel the reincarnation true qi in your body, all over the world, only the inheritors of the reincarnation sword recipe know how to cultivate this mental formula, with your current cultivation as the Tao, you may be able to achieve a small success in another ten years, but you are destined to be extraordinary, and the fate continues, and the whole world will be yours in the future." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Master Li, seemed to sigh, and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Master Li said: "What is a pity?"

The old man shook his head and said, "It's nothing, you will understand later." The two of you are also here this time for the sword that Li Bad left behind, right?"

Master Li nodded and said, "Yes, please also ask the seniors for guidance." ”

The old man Shangde suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "Hey, why bother. The evil qi of the Soul Chasing Sword was too heavy, and Li Huan realized that his strength could not suppress the evil qi in the sword at all, and his own heart was also stained by the evil qi, so he had to seal this sword. If the world is in chaos, the demons are dancing, this is a thousand-year catastrophe, and those who should be robbed will appear, and the soul chasing sword of three hundred children and mothers will definitely appear in this thousand-year robbery, no one can avoid it, remember, if you want to take the divine sword, you must enter the yin spring, but the yin spring is the most obscure place in the world, and all the filthy qi in the Kyushu continent is gathered in this yin spring through the ground, not to mention the two of you, even Da Luo Jinxian can't get close, unless ......"

"Unless what?" said Yuanbao's heart sank.

The old man Shangde said word by word: "The Yin soldier borrowed the way." ”

The old man Shangde sighed faintly, walked north along the street with his hands in his hands, and sang in his mouth: "As soon as the son and mother go against the sky, the sword fairy will stop laughing at the wind and rain. only sighs that the world is heavy on killing, and does not ask the common people to ask ghosts and gods. The eight-armed Heavenly Demon War God Fire, the Netherworld Spring and the Green Underworld. Sanzhang Mountain comes to Sanzhang Water, and eight worships and nine knocks show the true spirit. The Yin soldier is attached to the past, and he borrowed the red dust to get his heart, he said that the hidden dragon flies for nine days, and the phoenix has broken wings and the world is peaceful. ”

The old man left, and his back suddenly disappeared into the long street, Yuan Bao and Master Li kept staring at his back, and after he finished chanting, he just took a step, and the figure completely disappeared in front of the eyes of the two people.

Yuan Bao gasped, stood for a long time, and said tremblingly: "Senior girl, did you see it clearly just now?"

Master Li was also full of consternation, shook his head slightly, and said, "I didn't see clearly, such a clever cultivation, I'm afraid that even my master doesn't have such a mysterious and unpredictable Taoism, who is he?"
