Liren played with the high-grade spirit stone in his palm, looked at Lu Bei's busy appearance with a half-smile, saw him open the door and asked him curiously, "What do you want to do next?"
Did he think that with his third level of Qi Refining, he could really escape from the Evil Ghost City?
"Let's eat first." Since we are here, we naturally need to find out the situation here first. When he went downstairs to get the boiled water just now, he saw that the tables in the hall on the first floor were almost full, so he went there to eat and listen. You can know a lot of information from the chat content around you.
Lu Bei took the lead and walked out of the room. He didn't turn on the live broadcast on his mobile phone. He put the whole mobile phone directly in Wan Jianzong's careful storage bracelet. In this kind of place, his life and death are unknown. Once the mobile phone is taken out, it may be damaged and can no longer be used. use.
The two reappeared on the steps leading to the first floor from the second floor with a new look. Lu Bei took a deep breath due to the chatter downstairs, and bravely stepped on the stairs to go downstairs.
"Why is Mr. Xiao Lang coming down again, but your brother still needs to fetch water." The shopkeeper in the red wedding dress saw Lu Bei going downstairs, and teased him again.
"Hello sister, let's come down to eat." Lu Bei pretended to be obedient, and after talking to the proprietress, he turned his head and looked at the useless snake demon behind him.
After Liren used three high-quality spirit stones, his spirit body has become a bit stronger now, and his whole body is no longer translucent like before.
The snake demon who was stared at by him showed a pale and bloodless smile and pointed to the only empty seat in the room, "Let's sit there."
Lu Bei led him there, and when he came to the empty table, he was about to pull out the bench, "Boom!"
A thigh wrapped in the fur of an unknown animal was split across and placed across the dining table where they were going to sit.
Lu Bei looked at the protruding big hairy leg, and moved along that leg until he reached the thick-backed, unkempt man next door. He was holding a shiny chicken leg in his hand, and squinted at it. Lu Bei was eating chicken legs.
All the guests in the inn were looking at them, wondering what the two newcomers would do next.
"Brother, this table looks unstable, wait for me!"
Lu Bei stared at countless eyes, quickly removed all the extra movable benches on the side, then took out a folded wooden table and two stools from his storage bag, handed one to Liren, and sat on the other by himself. with.
He even took out the assortment of stewed vegetables that he hadn't finished eating yesterday from the storage bag, as well as a complete set of exquisite tea sets.
Sitting in front of the table specially customized by the carpenter in Yuchi Town, put a pinch of jasmine into the teapot, and then pour a pot of hot water on the stove not far away.
The jasmine flower soaked in hot water gradually unfolded its posture, and a faint fragrance wafted over the notorious inn.
"Brother, your favorite tea." Lu Bei poured two cups of tea and pushed one cup in front of Li Ren.
"My brother is really sensible."
Liren took a sip from the teacup. The fragrance of jasmine and this cup of hot tea made him feel like he had returned to a thousand years ago. At that time, he was not caught by Baisemen. Someone treats him like a guest.
When the proprietress of the inn came over with side dishes and noodles, she saw the table in front of her, which was completely different from the painting style in her shop, and the pot of fragrant tea. A trace of surprise flashed across her face. Forgot to say hello to Lu Bei, "I didn't expect that after three hundred years, I could still see tea leaves in this evil ghost city."
Those rough people in the city would bring anything when they go out and come back, but very few people would buy such things as tea.
Therefore, all the restaurants and inns in the city drink boiled water.
"I still have some tea, sister, do you want to buy some?"
Instinctively, Lu Bei took out his tea pocket, picked out three different kinds of tea and put them on the table, "Sister, do you usually drink black tea or green tea? Or black tea? For girls, I suggest you buy black tea, yes Good health."
His entire business behavior, down to his proficiency in taking out things and introducing the items to the proprietress.
Let everyone in the entire inn pause for a moment.
This was probably the first time they saw someone wearing Wan Jianzong's clothes, and then pretending to be a small businessman so realistically.
"I haven't been a swordsman for a long time, and I don't care about making money in business." Hearing the words of the proprietress' questioning, Lu Bei explained with a smile.
"I didn't expect Wan Jianzong to have disciples like you. How do you sell the tea? Sell them all to me." The proprietress had also met the sword repairmen of Wan Jianzong many years ago, and her impression of them was that they were rigid and quiet. very strong.
"It's fine to pay for medium spirit stones. Black tea sells one, two or three medium spirit stones. When we first arrived in Guibao, we gave a discount to my sister. It is calculated according to two medium spirit stones and one or two tea leaves. In addition to tea, I have rouge water powder here. There are also jewelry and necklaces, sister, would you like to take a look at them?"
Those who start a business have no fear.
He took out the scale from the storage bag, and calculated the cost of the tea to the proprietress of the inn, and he didn't forget to sell the rouge and gouache that he couldn't use.
On that night in Huifeng City two years ago, in order to dress up Zhao Tiantian beautifully to help Senior Brother Yuan, a few people above alcohol went directly to the jewelry store and bought a lot of beautiful things.
Zhao Tiantian only used it once, and when she returned to Baisemen, she returned all these things to Lu Bei.
Said that the things were kept with her, she always dreamed at night that Senior Brother Yuan punished her, even if she was killed, she didn't want this pile of jewelry to stay by her side.
Wen Siyan also said no, and threw all these things into Lu Bei's storage bag.
Those who are dedicated to business, after taking out all the rouge and gouache jewelry sold in Fengcheng, they still did not forget to greet the guests who were eating and drinking in the inn, "Everyone has anything they want to buy, as long as you say it I have everything here!"
"Is there any Ningshuanglu?" A hoarse voice sounded from the corner of the inn.
When Lu Bei heard this special name, he directly took out his handmade warehouse item list.
He lowered his head and flipped through the notebook that was full of simplified characters, and quickly found the three small characters of Ning Shuanglu. He turned his head firmly and replied in that direction, "Yes! There are four bottles of Ning Shuanglu, each of which costs 100 yuan. Two, do you want it?"
"Give it all to me."
The man lying in the corner stood up. It was a skinny figure, wearing light and air-tight clothes, floating in front of Lu Bei like a bamboo pole.
"I don't have any spirit stones, use this instead!"
A fist-sized dark golden stone was thrown in front of Lu Bei.
Lu Bei, who was about to take out Ningshuanglu, looked at the dark golden stone, confused, "What is this? I don't know it, is it expensive?" The point is that it is worth his four hundred and eighty yuan. A spirit stone?
"It's dark gold. For you sword cultivators, when refining weapons, adding a small amount to it can increase the hardness of the weapon." Li Ren held a teacup and explained to him.
Hearing that this thing is good for weapons, Lu Bei quickly took out the items needed by the other party and handed them to the customer, "Thank you, boss! Here are your four bottles of cream gel!"
Frost dew is a kind of dew, which can only be collected from the eaves of the main hall of the temple on the first day of spring every year. It is said that this thing has a miraculous effect on healing internal injuries caused by fire attacks.
Lu Bei bought it back at the beginning because it looked like a dream of Red Mansions. In order to experience the effect, he even asked Huo Linggen's Feng Wujing to slap the back of his hand specially.
His palms were red, and he poured this cream on the back of his hands.
The four rookies surrounded Lu Bei's red hand, staring at the two eyes that almost turned into raisins, and didn't see any changes in the back of the hand. It was thrown into the storage bag by Lu Bei.
The person who happily put away the dark gold immediately stopped eating noodles and drinking tea.
He took out a small copper gong, "Dangdang!" After a few sounds, he began to sell things in the inn.
"Big brothers and sisters, don't miss the uncles and sisters-in-law who pass by. The two of us are going through Guibao to do some small business. I hope you all have a look, take a look! Today's specials are all 20% off!"
Liren sat on a stool one meter away, and let Lu Bei jump up and down to sell things like Mount Tai was on top of him. When he finished drinking a teapot of tea, he took the initiative to make a new pot for himself.
Drinking tea and playing with Lingshi, watching Lu Bei sell things.
You are free, you don't have to be locked up in a strange formation, and you don't have to face the newcomers who appear once every ten years. Those weird people who appeared in the illusion last time made Liren not sleep well in the past two years Sleep.
As long as I close my eyes, I can't help but think of one of the testers, those monsters who are so weird that they have been in the world for many years, and they can't imagine the human beings in the outside world. How did they become such virtues?
In the human world outside, there are evil ghost towns everywhere!
He brought Lu Bei to Evil Ghost City because he had been here before. Compared with the crazy humans in the illusion, he felt that the people here were much more normal.
Lu Bei in front kept hawking, and he took out those items that were once piled up like sundries one by one.
Many people who live in this city do not have spiritual stones to pay.
Anyone from the north of the road will not be rejected, as long as it is valuable, anything of equivalent value can be traded.
In one morning, one-third of the contents of his storage bag were sold. Half of the people in Evil Ghost City heard that there was a new peddler in the city. He has all the items!
And it can be delivered without spirit stones.
"How much stuff is in that kid's pocket? Why don't we grab it at night when no one is around!"
A man who just bought three catties of beef jerky from Lu Bei looked at the table not far away from Lu Bei and the storage bag in his hand.
Drooling over that bag, wanting to keep it for myself.
"Crack!" The strong man standing next to him slapped him on the head, "Fuck you! No one has dared to enter the ghost city for hundreds of years! You poor ghosts ran this way after causing trouble outside. , all of them couldn’t get half a spirit stone out of their bodies! Finally, a peddler came to sell things, and you took away what we eat? What do you use!”
"Then let him make money like this? Let's grab the things and sell them ourselves. We won't make a fortune by ourselves. Why let this kid here with pots and pans to earn our money." The skinny monkey who was beaten didn't understand Why can't it be robbed.
The strong man gave him a blank look, then looked up at the people standing or sitting around.
The people here are all scum who are wanted by the outside world and have nowhere to go. If they leave here, they will be surrounded by people all over the world. Otherwise, how could they stay in this evil ghost city that has been covered with snow for thousands of years?
For many years, no newcomers have entered the Evil Ghost City, and the only ones who can enter are bereaved dogs who have come all the way to the funeral. Many people like shopkeepers have not seen such an existence in five hundred years.
Another three months will be the extremely cold day, which is the saddest day in the city every year. It is cold and there is no extra food. The sky will always be dark. Once it is dark, it will be a full three months. Every year at this time, some people will go crazy and kill people, or even eat people.
"I only have three sets of Go, do you want Mahjong?" Lu Bei in the inn was still selling things. He was wearing a thick cotton coat and Wan Jianzong's black school uniform outside, with a high ponytail and clear black eyes. Cleanly watching every customer who consults and buys, has a sweet mouth and praises others, and everyone who talks to it is always a smiling face.
When did such a person appear in the evil ghost city? A group of guys who are treated like dogs in the outside world, with drooping eyebrows and eyes every day, draw their swords to kill each other if they disagree with each other.
This kid only has the third level of Qi Refining, even a dog in the city can defeat him.
Since everyone can crush him to death, why not let him live for a while?
Look at the smiles and simple greetings facing ordinary people. Although it sounds a bit noisy, it makes people feel lazy and don't want to move.
It's as if this is an ordinary town, with enthusiastic shopkeepers selling goods in the streets and alleys. This is just an ordinary and ordinary day.
Regarding the Wanjianzong clothes worn by Lu Bei, all the residents of Evil Ghost City expressed their opinions.
"It must be a fake! Have you ever seen a sword repairer who knows how to do business?"
Everyone shook their heads and gave examples, "I was hunted down by the sword cultivator for three thousand miles, and I knelt down and kowtowed to him, but that guy still wanted to chop me with his sword! Sword cultivators are such unflexible guys. "
"It's nothing if you've been chased for three thousand miles. Once I was just stealing from an old woman on the street. I was caught by a swordsman after he found out. I cried and told him that I had an eighty-year-old woman. , there is a three-year-old child waiting to be fed, but he still grabbed me and went to the government! That is the sword cultivator!"
After everyone finished speaking, they looked at the young peddler in the inn and shook their heads in unison, "It must be a fake swordsman, a real peddler. When I was outside more than two hundred years ago, I saw those peddlers who looked like him." .”
"Those shopkeepers are not as good-looking as he is. You didn't see the red widow in the inn's eyes almost falling on his face."
Everyone looked at the shopkeeper in the red wedding dress at the inn again. The other party was standing at the counter, using the rouge and gouache bought from Lubei to make up his face, and his eyes fell on Lubei from time to time. North body.
Lu Bei, who knew nothing about it, stood in front of the temporary shelf, "I don't have any cotton clothes for the time being, do you want two pairs of socks? They are also pure cotton with rabbit fur inside." Lu Bei took out a few pairs of thick socks, Pass it to the girl in front of her with chilblains all over the back of her hand.
"Do you want snake ointment? It's very effective in treating chilblains." Looking at the chilblains full of cracks, Lu Bei found the special snake ointment from Yuchi Town Pharmacy from the storage bag.
This ointment is a snake ointment specially made by the doctor who sells cats, combined with the prescriptions of old Chinese medicine practitioners from the earth.
After making it, Lu Bei himself was useless, and no one in Baisemen had chilblains on their hands, but according to the old doctor who loves money, after applying this ointment continuously for a month, the chilblain will be completely cured and will not recur.
The people who can buy this kind of ointment are ordinary people. Lu Bei confiscated the cooperation fee, and the old doctor threw him a box of snake ointment with a straight face, and put these things in the storage bag as a share.
"Are these socks and snake ointment expensive? I don't have much money with me." The teenage girl took out a few inferior spirit stones from her patched pocket.
"Enough, these things are worthless in the first place, these few spirit stones are enough."
Lu Bei handed over the socks and snake ointment, and he took back a few low-grade spirit stones and threw them to Liren.
After seeing off the last guest, Lu Beikou was thirsty looking for water, when a teacup was handed over behind him, and he followed the teacup to see Liren lying on the chair, looking at him with a smile.
Lu Bei took the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, packed up all the sundries on the table, strode over there and was still in front of the shopkeeper who was still making up, "Sister, we two brothers sell about the same things, I think this afternoon Let's sort out the remaining goods first, and reopen tomorrow morning, if someone comes to us to buy things later, please help us to refuse them all."
He handed over a hairpin made of pure gold.
The shopkeeper with the red eye shadow glanced at the pure gold hairpin, and said with a smile, "I can't help you with a hairpin, why don't you give me the sword heart hanging around your waist?"
Lu Bei followed her gaze and saw the item he was hanging there. He subconsciously shook his head and covered the finger-sized thing, "This won't work."
This is a proof item for him to join Wan Jianzong. If he casually transfers it to others, he might not even be able to enter the gate of Wan Jianzong.
Even if he went in, it was something his senior brother gave him, and it was absolutely impossible to send it out without his senior brother's consent!
"Then I only want this thing, otherwise I won't talk about it." Sister Hong didn't want anything else, she just wanted the sword heart.
Lu Bei turned his head and left. Before he left, he didn't forget to pull up the lazy glass man, stomped on the stairs to the second floor, and returned to the room where they lived before.
Only then did Lu Bei let Li Ren go, "What is your purpose for coming to Evil Ghost City? Is there anything to do in the city? Do you know where the station is?"
"Come to find someone, you have something to do, there is no station in the evil ghost city."
Liren had been drinking tea and eating all morning, and after answering Lu Bei's words leisurely, he stretched out his palm and handed it in front of him, "I've run out of spirit stones, give me some more."
"After you recover, let's go around the city in the afternoon to find a way to leave." Lu Bei handed him the spirit stone, and then sat on the stool beside him and ate the food he had prepared in the storage bag food.
When his stomach was almost full, he grabbed Liren and went out, wanting to see if there was a place where he could contact the outside world.
When they left the inn, many of them had hideous and scary faces, but Lu Bei saw them at a glance.
All I saw were products from Yuchi Town, chopsticks, fruits, wooden toys, shoes, socks, hair ropes, and even the scent of various tea leaves in the air, all of which were familiar items.
These familiarities largely reduced his fear, and he dragged the two of them along the snow-covered street side by side.
For the first time, he saw a third city besides Huifeng City.
Most of the houses in this city have a roof that protects them from the wind and rain, and the walls are surrounded by luck. There are only a few gaps in some places where people can get in.
Of the four walls of bad luck, only the last one is left, which is still incomplete.
The person just sat cross-legged against the wall and meditated with his eyes closed.
"I didn't have time to ask you before, how did you come to this city without the teleportation array?" Lu Bei asked Liren in a low voice. He forgot to ask this key question before selling things.
"Well, it came in from that direction."
Liren pointed to the desolate snow field outside the dilapidated city gate, "You are so heavy, how can I move you? Naturally, I threw you in the snow field and dragged you all the way in."
Lu Beimo, after beating this idiot snake demon thousands of times in his heart, was finally able to stop fussing with him for the time being.
The Evil Ghost City is not big. Lu Bei wore a mechanical watch and set off from the inn to walk northwards. It was 26 minutes away from the dilapidated city gate pointed by Li Ren. He turned around and continued walking towards the south gate.
As you walk, count all the people and houses you have seen.
Come around and come to a conclusion.
There are a total of 231 houses in the entire area of Evil Ghost City, but only 150 people were seen, and nine out of ten of them have some disabilities.
From north to south, the distance is fifty-nine minutes.
This is the size of Evil Ghost City, a small town occupied by more than a hundred people, it would be better to say that they are a sparsely populated village.
Lu Bei stood outside the city, looking at the wilderness covered by heavy snow, and couldn't help but sigh, "This place is too desolate! How can there be no trees?"
Except for the rotten houses in the city, there is no grass growing outside the entire evil ghost city, and it is all white as far as the eye can see.
He secretly took out his phone just now, trying to turn it on to ask the audience in the live broadcast room, but the weather was too cold and the phone was frozen to the point where he couldn't turn it on.
"Where is the person you are looking for?" After Lu Bei wailed, he asked Li Ren where the person he was looking for was.
"Then, it's dead."
The direction of the glass man's finger is a mummy hanging above the city gate. There are white snowflakes and some dark red ice cubes hanging on the mummy's body.
Lu Bei followed the direction of his finger, and after seeing what it was, his eyes were numb, "You won't tell me that the person you're looking for is very important, right?"
"My spiritual body was destroyed by Baisemen. Originally, this person had a way to help me find another thing as a host."
