Pu Songling's words made my eyebrows twitch involuntarily. Just when I was about to ask, he smiled at me and said, "Young man, that's the end of today's story!"
"Don't you want to hear the story?" I looked at him in surprise.
The old man gave me a look of disdain, and I felt a little embarrassed.
He looked into the depths of Taishan City and said, "A kind word will warm you up, young man, please take care of yourself!"
After saying these words, his figure slowly disappeared, along with the coffee table brushes and books, and the invisible barrier surrounding us also disappeared.
"Chosen one, I hope we have a chance to meet again. Then I will tell you my story..."
The sound got farther and farther, and then completely disappeared from our ears, as if it had never appeared.
The calligraphy on Zhao Wuji's body was also untied, and he stood up from the ground with a curse.
"This old man is so damn evil, bah..."
Zhao Wuji looked at the stone tablet, his eyes flashing with anger and knowledge. When he saw a few of us looking at him, he quickly coughed and said, "What are you looking at? Do you really think I can't beat him?"
"Old Zhao, can you die if you don't brag?" Taoist Master Ziyun had no intention of giving any face.
"You're so awesome, why don't you do it?" Zhao Wuji retorted.
Seeing the two of them bickering again, I really felt a little helpless.
Qing Yi slowly put his long sword back into the scabbard and said with a serious look: "This Pu Songling is really powerful. I have never seen him use such methods."
Huzi frowned, "None of this is important. The important thing is why did this old man show up here to stop us?"
This is also the question I am thinking about. The old man appeared in an unclear manner and left without any clue. It really left us a little confused.
Is it just to tell us a story, or to improve his own story collection? This statement is obviously illogical and untenable, but the problem is that the old man never expressed his motives from the beginning to the end.
, although several of us also guessed that this matter had something to do with Zhang Tianqi, we still couldn't figure out the real secret here for a while.
What I am more concerned about is that the chosen one he mentioned before leaving should refer to me. There may be clues in this, and I guess in my mind that this is related to his discovery of the power of merit that has reappeared in me.
relation.
We thought about it for a while but had no clue, so we simply turned our attention away from this matter. After all, obtaining the Kunlun Sacred Tree is the most important task right now.
Looking at Taishan City ahead, several people felt an indescribable sense of solemnity in their hearts.
This is not only because of Pu Songling’s words, but also because the pressure caused by the appearance of Fugu Gu is too great. There is an unspeakable strange feeling in the whole city. You can imagine this city
There have been changes that we could not predict.
The King of Taishan rules the Taishan Realm and sits in the Taishan Palace. As one of the ten major Yamas in the underworld, this city has extraordinary significance. According to Pu Songling, below Tairan City, it is commanded by the King of Taishan.
And guard the hell realm, if we want to find the Kunlun Sacred Tree, we must first find the entrance to each hell.
Although Qing Yi and the others have been to the realm of Mount Tai, they have never been to the entrance to hell, so we have to find it ourselves. The best way right now is to enter the city and find the local indigenous residents to see if we can learn something from them.
clue.
After a slight adjustment, Qing Yi nodded to me, and then he was the first to walk into the Taishan City in front of him. A few of us looked at each other, and Huzi walked in the middle holding the little black dog, and
I was walking at the back of the team, with the spirit of a liger that turned into a black cat squatting on my shoulders. Only that flat-haired beast didn't know where he had gone?
When I talk about this flat-haired beast, I am a little speechless. It is like a bastard. You can say it is useless, but it can still fight. You can say it is useful. Every time there is a life or death crisis,
It is definitely the first one to run away.
In addition, there is another doubt about this beast that I have always been confused about. Every time it runs away, no matter how far away it is, it can find me accurately, and then I have to provide it with good food and drink.
He, who can he ask to reason with?
If it hadn't been for the fact that it could restrain Xiaohong, who is a mutated Gu insect, sometimes I would secretly think that I really wanted to pluck the chicken feathers off its body, then sprinkle it with seasonings, marinate it for two hours, and throw it into the oven.
Bake it hard.
While I was thinking wildly, our small team had already entered the Taishan City. Feeling the strong gloomy atmosphere emanating from the entire city, I quickly put my thoughts back and began to look at this city in the underworld.
Although this is the second time to visit the underworld, it is the first time to visit the world of the dead. Although my grandfather once told me before his death, in fact, the world of the dead is not much different from the world of the living, even the rules and operation methods.
They are pretty much the same, but I still can't help but feel curious.
According to the division of Yangjian, this should be regarded as a provincial capital city. At first glance, it is indeed grand enough. If nothing else, the avenue in the middle is extremely wide, and 20 vehicles can walk side by side at the same time.
Cars aren't a problem either.
However, the pavement of this street is not the concrete and asphalt in the sun, but is paved with huge blue and black stones. At first glance, it is extremely smooth, exuding bursts of light in the hazy light.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, but the area of these shops is extremely huge. There is often a shop between two pillars, and the width of a single shop is more than 10 meters. Whether it is these pillars or
The steps are all made of stone as the main base material.
The strange thing is that we did not see a single ghost figure on the entire street where we were. All the shops were closed behind their doors. There were only two lanterns on the pillars on both sides of the door, emitting a dim green light.
It swayed back and forth in the gusts of cold wind, making a squeaking sound. It became the only melody in the street, and the hearts of those who listened to it were frightened.
We just walked and looked at everything in this city, and no one spoke. This is not because we are timid, but when you walk in such an environment, you will instinctively react like this,
This weird silence lasted for a long time, until we walked out of this street and entered another street, but after still getting nothing, Zhao Wuji beside us couldn't stand it anymore.
"Why is there not even a ghost in this Taishan City?"
"You are the only one who talks a lot." Taoist priest Ziyun glared at him.
"Niubi, what do you mean? Do you want us to keep going like this?" Zhao Wuji glared back fiercely.
Taoist Master Ziyun still wanted to refute, but felt that it made sense.
Qing Yi stopped and said, "It's really not an option to continue like this. We have to find someone to ask."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huzi stood up.
"I come."
As he spoke, he walked directly towards a nearby shop and soon appeared in front of the shop. Then he raised his hand and knocked hard on the door.
The sound of "dong dong dong" resounded throughout the street.
"anyone there?"
After calling several times in succession, there was no response from the shop. Huzi frowned.
"Humph, you can't open it, right?"
Huzi snorted heavily, raised his foot sharply, and kicked the door hard with a clang.
A louder sound rang out than before, and spread far across the entire street, and even echoed.
After this step, the store finally changed.
Originally, the green street lamp on the pillar suddenly dimmed without warning.
With a popping sound, it seemed as if a dark wind was blowing, and the lights were instantly extinguished.
