Chapter 334: A Tributary of the Xiangsheng Lethe River
As soon as the three of us walked in, the door behind us closed automatically, blocking out the light.
There was darkness in the black stone house, but fortunately, it didn't matter if there was light or not, if there was no such vision, it would only sink into darkness.
It should be noted that because you are in a ghost town, this is the underworld, so the vision of the yin and yang eyes is colorful, for example, when you enter this door, you can see the blue light of the space, and you can also see the bright red furniture and some gray clay pots.
In short, the objects here are full of weirdness, whose furniture is red? It looks like it's smeared with blood, it's really terrifying.
The internal yin qi is extremely heavy, as if there is a yin wind constantly blowing and blowing, and when it falls on the body, it feels like the hair trembles.
Yin House!
This black stone house is completely arranged according to the Yin House, and it is also a house for ghosts to live, so it is naturally designed as a Yin House.
There are no windows, only a few brick holes that can be pried open, and you can see the scene outside, and it feels like you have entered a bunker, which is heavily defended.
I exhaled uncomfortably, turned my head to look at Old Ghost Fan and said, "This ghost place is gloomy, how can you live?" ”
"Oh my God, Lord Fang Gang, this is the best place to live, even better than this, you have to go to the 'Yin Soul Palace' in the central area, where only purple-clothed ghosts are qualified to stay, and idle ghosts dare not approach it at all."
For Fan Wuxiang, an old ghost, this place is really beautiful like heaven. I don't have a common language with these guys.
"You're saying there's a better place for ghosts to live in the Dead City?" As soon as I heard it, I was interested.
"Of course there is, this is the boss of the dead city, we are in the fringe area at this time, and a ghost like Longyue Mansion can occupy such a good black stone house, but the closer to the central area, the more powerful yin spirits there are, and the black stone house closer to the central area is inhabited by real ghosts in green clothes, and there are a small number of ghosts in purple clothes living in them.
There is a Yin Soul Palace in the very center, and all the Yin Spirits of the purple ghost level and above are inhabited, not only that, but they have to hand over a terrifying amount of Stygian Crystals every month, otherwise, they will be expelled from the Yin Soul Palace.
It is said that the speed of transforming and condensing yin qi in the palace of Yin Souls is hundreds of times that of ordinary residences, and the Yin Spirits all yearn to go there.
In the city of death, strength is the most important, even if you can't complete your job and are displaced, as long as you have strength, you are not afraid of dying for no reason, my lord, don't you know, every day, there are a large number of unjust souls dissipated, there are too many reasons, in the final analysis, if you want to save your life, strength is the most important ....... ”
Fan Lao Ghost chattered and explained, I didn't interrupt him, I took out a cigarette at random and lit it, smoking while receiving the message, obviously, the situation in the city of vain death is much more complicated than I thought, just listening to these words, I feel that there are many forces involved.
Is this city of vain death, as the King of Jizo Bodhisattva said, a paradise for vain ghosts? As far as I can observe, no.
Every day, ghosts dissipate and die, how can such a ghost place be a paradise?
What is the King of Jizo trying to open up such a supernatural space, Stygian Crystal? Didn't he say that hell is not empty, and you can't become a Buddha? Tsk, it's just empty words, and it's ...... hell if you believe it.
Thoughts drifted away again.
"Old ghost Fan, you can choose a room to live in." I waved my hand to stop the old ghost from talking.
"Thank you for taking it in, then I'll want the smallest one."
Old Ghost Fan immediately stopped his mouth and pointed to the small room at the very end.
There are a lot of rooms in this black stone house, I browsed and confirmed that there are five rooms here, three are larger, two are smaller, and the interior is fully equipped, in short, sleep and rest are no problem.
Old Ghost Fan chose the innermost small room.
I nodded and motioned for him to go live on his own, and Chu Nianyao and I lived in two larger rooms.
Chu Nianyao was a little scared and wanted to live in the same room with me, but I refused with righteous words.
Really, this girl is very beautiful, I am afraid that I have signs of 'out of control', people are in a moment of great trouble, and this time must not be deviated.
That's how the three of us settled in.
I found some candles in my room, and I couldn't help but be happy, and after lighting them, the room was much brighter, and it felt less gloomy.
A big living person, living in the Yin House, if it weren't for the situation, I would have the urge to run away immediately, but unfortunately, I could only adapt.
After cleaning up, my stomach growled, and I called Fan Lao Ghost to ask where the water source was that could be eaten by the living?
Old Ghost Fan looked at me strangely, pointed in the direction of the east and said, "The branch of the Lechuan River flows over there, and the water in it is mixed with the groundwater of the Yang world, so the living can drink it."
In the past, there were also living people who came to the city of vain, and there was no food, so they relied on the river to continue their life, and some survived for a month, of course, they still starved to death in the end, only water and no food, in the end, it is not good, alas. ”
My eyes widened in horror!
Folklore has it that the Lethe River in the underworld is extremely terrifying, and ancient books record that the water in this river is turbid, not to mention, and the whole is red, as if there is blood soaked in it, and there are countless lonely souls and wild ghosts floating in it.
These guys didn't drink Meng Po soup on the Nai He Bridge, and chose to jump into the Lechuan River, and they had to wait for a thousand years before they could be 'liberated' and reunited with their wives and husbands in their previous lives to ...... in the yang world.
The main record of this river is this, and it is full of 'obsessive ghosts' who have suffered a lot. Nima, the branch of such a river of terror flows through the city of vain death, and the water in it can be drunk? I express my deep doubts.
"Old ghost Fan, aren't you kidding people, if you drink the water of the Lechuan River, don't you kill me immediately, do you want to harm me?" I looked at the old ghost angrily.
"My lord, don't get me wrong, I said it very clearly, it's a branch, a branch ......! The water of the main body of the Lechuan River, of course, can not be drunk by living people, but the branches are different, the river water is clear, mixed with the underground river water of the Yang world, there are no ghosts in it, it is a very good water source, and the living can drink to absorb a certain amount of nutrients, although the yin qi is heavier, but it is not a problem to maintain life for dozens of days, of course, without food, it will eventually starve to death, which is also a matter of no choice. ”
Old Ghost Fan hurriedly explained.
"I believe you for the time being, I warn you, if you dare to fool, the consequences will be very serious." I stared at Old Ghost Fan gloomily.
"Don't dare, don't dare, my lord, I still want to live with you, how dare I deceive? Besides, didn't I swear an oath? Old Ghost Fan replied with a bitter face.
"Well, that's right, by the way, the area in this black stone house is so large, it's no problem to squeeze it and accommodate a hundred Yin Spirits to live in, why didn't there be a displaced Yin Soul like you in the past? It's weird. I looked at the gloomy haunted house and turned my head to look at the strange old ghost Fan.
"My lord, you don't know, don't say that the 'one' next to you doesn't let you live casually, even if he doesn't pay attention to it, we can't enter it ourselves, not to mention this black stone house, it is the small earthen house on the side of the street that is about to collapse, only qualified yin spirits can live, and other yin spirits need the permission of the master to enter.
But how dare they take in a ghost like me? Therefore, I can only survive on the side of the street, and these houses are connected to the mind of the owner, and the master can close it into a safe fortress with a single thought, a fortress that even the most powerful yin spirit cannot break. ”
The old ghost has a detailed explanation.
I understood, it turns out that these dwellings are still so useful, no wonder the ghosts, when they are afraid, will hide back in the small earthen huts, where no one can break into .......
"So that's the case, that, I order, expel Fan Wuxiang." The test shouted.
"Oh, my lord, don't ......!"
Old Ghost Fan shouted in horror, but it was too late.
Poof, a stream of blue light slammed into Fan Wuxiang's body from nothing, this guy screamed, and the next moment, the door of the haunted house opened, and with a bang, Fan Lao Ghost was thrown out by the blue light like a broken sack, and fell on the corner of the street in the distance, rolling all over the ground in pain.
"Oh, it's so powerful?"
I was stunned and looked straight into the distance.
Many white-clothed ghosts came over to watch, but found that the red-robed old ghost Fan Wuxiang sat up angrily, frightened 'Mom', and hurriedly fled back to his small earthen house.
"My lord, you can't do this to me, it hurts to death." Fan Wuxiang pressed the injured part desperately, grinning his teeth.
"Come on, it's just the power of expulsion, it didn't hurt you too much, get in." I was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly answered, which was equivalent to me allowing him to come in again.
"My lord, don't play any more, you're going to die...... Dead ghosts! ”
Fan Wuxiang gasped, his feet floated in from the outside, and the door closed with a bang.
"Haha, I'm sorry, I just tried it at will, and sure enough, this black stone house listened to my orders at this time, and you unfortunately became a test subject, and I didn't expect the expulsion method here to be so vigorous and make you suffer." I squeezed out a smile and said.
"It's okay, it's okay, my lord, as long as you don't experiment anymore, it really hurts." Old Ghost Fan responded aggrievedly, rolling his ghost eyes vigorously.
"Okay, you should rest early, don't you still have this month's work indicators? I guess you can't just hide here all the time, and you have to go to the Soul Eater Swamp to fight your best, right? I asked lightly.
"My lord, you are really smart, that's what happened, I usually repair for three days, go to the Soul Devouring Swamp for a week, and then repair for three days after I come out."
Old Ghost Fan nodded, and a frightened look suddenly appeared on his face.
I saw it in my eyes, but I didn't ask too much, there is no doubt that this Soul Devouring Swamp is very terrifying, just listen to the name, the Yin Soul explores in it, and it is absolutely fierce and auspicious.
I was outraged that the city of the dead would use the unjust ghosts as death squads.
