Chapter 456 Arrival
"Not the real body?"
Li Pu was a little confused. When watching A Chinese Ghost Story in the movie, the Black Mountain old demon was even suppressed by the Diamond Sutra. Li Pu thought he was not strong, but he did not expect this to be the case.
"Yes, I also learned later that the Black Mountain Old Demon's true body is in hell, and it is inconvenient to move around. Therefore, apart from his true body in hell, all the clones that appear in other places are just clones."
Yan Chixia said solemnly, her words full of fear.
Yan Chixia knew that even if the Black Mountain Old Demon was just a clone, he was no match for him.
The old demon from Black Mountain is not only powerful in magic, but can also capture people's souls. Even if he is in the underworld, he can capture the souls of people in the world. He is extremely powerful.
"Interesting, interesting."
When Li Pu saw that Yan Chixia was so cautious, he even thought about going to the city of Fusi.
This old Black Mountain demon can capture people's souls, so he should have a lot of souls in his hands...
"Brother Geng? Brother Geng? You must be very careful!"
Yan Chixia had a sincere expression on her face, but when she saw Li Pu, she was absent-minded.
"No need to say more, I have made up my mind. Tomorrow I will set off to Sichuan to see this old Black Mountain monster. I will leave the interrogation to you."
After Li Pu said this, he left.
Early the next morning, Li Pu mounted his fast horse and rushed towards Sichuan.
Sichuan is surrounded by mountains on all sides, making the journey very difficult. Being surrounded by mountains on all sides also results in strong moisture. Not only is the water conservancy developed, but the moisture on people's bodies is also very serious.
Therefore, people here like to eat spicy food to make themselves sweat and prevent water vapor from stagnating in the body.
Li Pu was walking on the street when a very strong smell came from the restaurant on the roadside.
Just by smelling it, he could feel the ruthlessness of the chef in this tavern. Li Pu nodded and walked in.
This is a town just outside the range of the black fog. When you get here, you only need to raise your head to see the black air filling the sky in the distance.
If it were another place, they would probably have to move out quickly, but this place is rich in salt. If this place is lost, if the people want to take a bite of salt, they will have to spend a lot of money to transport it from outside Sichuan.
Therefore, even though this place is on the edge of darkness, we can still live and work in peace and contentment.
Even because the officials here dare not come here, it is even more prosperous than other places.
Although evil ghosts cannibalize people, only evil ghosts cannibalize people here, while in other places, they cannibalize people with excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
Li Pu walked into the tavern and ordered a few dishes. After a while, he smelled a spicy smell and his dishes were served.
At this time, the salt mines were taking a break, and a large number of miners were eating and drinking in the tavern. If many people were eating and drinking together, they would naturally chat about ghosts and ghosts.
"Last night, I saw the idiot from the street through the crack of the door walking into the black mist."
"I saw Mr. Wang walking in a few days ago."
"besides……"
"Hey, this dark fog is getting bigger and bigger. Let's not worry about anything else and enjoy ourselves first."
After that, the man drank some wine and some food, and felt comfortable.
When this person said this, these people lost interest in talking about other people.
Li Pu became interested and turned to ask the man who was drinking.
"Brother, this black fog stops ten miles away from the city. Why is there anyone walking in?"
These people looked at each other and smiled.
"It seems that my brother is an outsider. Why do outsiders come to a place like this? Are they not afraid of death?"
"I just got here today."
"It's no wonder. Although the black fog here stays ten miles away, it is not fixed. Every night, the black fog in the distance will spread like a tide, and at night the city will fall into black fog.
This happens every night, and sometimes I want to just go in."
Li Pu picked up his wine and came to the table where several people were sitting, and asked the waiter to bring his dishes as well.
After pouring wine for several people one by one, he asked.
"Then, shouldn't this city be full of dead people?"
"Although this black mist will spread at night, it is not as good as the area in the real black mist. As long as it is nighttime, nothing will happen if we don't go out. That's why we can survive here, but we probably won't survive for long."
The man spoke normally at first, but later on he looked a little depressed and took a sip from his wine glass.
"Why is this?"
Li Pu poured the man another glass of wine.
"This black mist will get bigger every time it spreads. Last year, the black mist was thirteen or four miles away from here, but now it is only ten miles away. If it continues to spread like this, within two or three years this place will be shrouded in black mist. We
We have no choice but to move out of here, and I’m afraid there won’t be a place for people like us by then.”
Li Pu heard this and understood the situation here.
After drinking a few glasses of wine with a few people, I asked the waiter to serve some dishes to eat and drink together, and everyone gradually became familiar with each other.
Several people were chatting and laughing, but this person always liked to say depressing words for some unknown reason.
"Brother Wang, what's going on? I was always very excited in the past, so why are you talking so much today?"
At this time, several people also noticed that something was wrong with Brother Wang and began to ask questions.
At first, the man who was called Brother Wang said that nothing happened, but in the end he couldn't hold back his tears and lay on the table crying.
"Your sister-in-law, when you went out last night, you were confused by the black fog and walked into the black fog..."
Only then did everyone understand why this man was so depressed today.
"Then go find it quickly!"
"It's impossible to find it. Once you go in, no one can come out. It's also her bad luck. It wasn't dark when she went out. She thought she could come back. I waited until night and didn't see her come back. I'm afraid she would have been there long ago.
……well."
The man said and drank another drink, but his tears couldn't stop flowing. It seemed that this man had resigned himself to his fate.
Several people drank with Brother Wang, and time slowly began to pass.
In the afternoon, the waiter started to put boards on the restaurant, which meant it was closed.
But the time at this time was only four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
Only then did Li Pu understand why there were people drinking in the tavern at noon. It turned out that no one dared to go out to drink at night, and no one dared to open the business.
The plywood was so densely packed that no gaps could be missed. After it was finished, the waiter returned to the counter and dozed off to serve everyone.
At night, everyone walked to the second floor and found a room to stay.
It seemed that this was not the first time that everyone had been drinking till night.
At this time, the howling sound of the wind sounded outside the house. The howling sound was extremely violent. A strong wind blew outside the house. Everyone prayed that the door of the tavern and the door of the room were strong enough.
But at this moment during the day, the disappointed middle-aged man named Wang rushed from the second floor to the first floor. After opening the door, he turned back and closed the door for fear of disturbing everyone in the house.
Everyone was still sleepy at this moment, so they hurried out of the room and shouted the middle-aged man's name on the railing on the second floor, but the only response was a whistling sound.
Chapter completed!
