Chapter 311 Everyone is looking for him
After listening to Ye Luo's explanation, Xiao Jie became more and more puzzled.
If it is a ghost market, then why does the map that Xia Yi Wu Shuang enters look nothing like it? Instead, there are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and paradise?
But now the only way to know the truth is to go in.
"Can we ordinary players enter the ghost market?"
Ye Luo said: "Under normal circumstances, it would be dangerous to go in, but don't forget that I am the Impermanence Walker, come with me."
As Ye Luo spoke, he suddenly drew his sword from its sheath and made a gesture as if raising the sword to chop down.
"Life and death are unpredictable. One sword separates yin and yang. The road of life and death in the netherworld is the same from now on - open!"
Secret combat skill - guidance from the impermanence!
With a swing of the sword, the air at the entrance under the archway suddenly twisted, and a path was actually cut open by the sword.
There are ruins outside the archway, but it is a different scene inside. A stone road leads to a peaceful town with a prosperous market and dim lights. Faint sounds of hawking and playing can be heard from inside. There are crowds of people on the street, and their faces cannot be seen clearly. Their makeup and clothes are quite ancient. Candles are burning everywhere, and the dim lights reveal a hint of warmth, adding a bit of strangeness to the town.
The sudden appearance of such a small town on Ghost Fog Ridge and in the mass grave really amazed everyone.
But in just a moment, the fog rose again, gradually seeming to cover the entrance again.
"Let's go, everyone. If you don't enter now, the entrance will be closed." Ye Luo said as he walked in.
Xiao Jie said in a deep voice, "Ye Luo, if we want to come out later, can you open the exit?"
"no problem."
"Then come in." Xiao Jie said as he walked in.
Bai Ze and I looked at each other and followed him in.
The four people passed through the archway, and the entrance behind them disappeared in the mist, and the surroundings completely turned into the appearance of a small town.
When a few people were about to move forward to explore, they saw a tall and thin man about three meters tall holding a lantern stopping them.
Ru Honghe (Sun Patrolling Ghost) Level 30. HP 1200.
This thing looks vaguely like a human figure, wearing a gray coat and a black hat, but it is tall and thin, which is very strange.
When he saw them, he came over, bent down, and looked at the four of them with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Wait a minute, you guys. This is a ghost market. If you are living people, why are you here?"
A dialog box popped up in front of the four people at the same time.
The option boxes for "I Want to Become an Immortal" and "Bai Ze" only have two options.
[Option 1: We have entered this place by mistake. Please forgive us. We will leave now.
Option 2: I come whenever I want, what's your business! (Start the war)]
However, there was an extra option in Xiao Jie's dialog box.
Option 3: We are here to do something, and we have some gifts. Please accept them as you wish (gifts/social etiquette). 】
Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment, wondering what to give the ghost to make things easier, but Ye Luo suddenly said, "Don't click, I'll talk to you."
At this moment, there are also three options in her dialog box.
Option 3: Walking in Yin and Yang, life and death are unpredictable, the Impermanence Walker is on official business here, please get out of the way, all the idle ghosts (occupation).
Ye Luo naturally chose the third one.
He said coldly: "Yin and Yang move, life and death are unpredictable, the Impermanence Walker is here on official business, please get out of the way, you idle ghosts." As he spoke, he showed a sign with the word "Impermanence" written on it.
The patrolling ghost was immediately surprised. "Ah, I didn't expect it to be Lord Wuchang. Excuse me, Lord. Please be as you please. I will make way for you. By the way, Lord Wuchang, your companions are living people. If you rush into Youquan Town rashly, you may disturb the dead souls. Here are some breath-holding talismans. Please keep them."
【System prompt: Obtain item [Breath-holding Talisman].】
Xiao Jie opened his backpack and found an extra talisman.
[Breath-holding Talisman (Talisman)
Use: Prevents you from emitting any breath for 24 hours.
Item Description: This spell is used by corpse-driving sorcerers to cover up the smell of corpses. It can also be used to cover up the smell of living people. 】
Xiao Jie thought to himself, "Not bad. I didn't expect Ye Luo's job to be so convenient. It's true that it's easy to get things done with someone. But isn't this Qingquan Town?" He looked back at the archway, and the Qingquan Town on it suddenly became - Youquan Town.
The three of them each used the talisman. Xiao Jie saw his character stick the talisman on his forehead. The talisman hung down from the forehead, just covering the mouth. It looked a bit like the talisman stuck on the head of a zombie in a zombie movie.
There is also an extra BUFF on the head.
[Hold your breath: Your breath is covered and cannot be detected. ]
Now you can move freely in this ghost market.
As the four of them walked towards the town, Nawochengxian exclaimed, "Sister Yeluo, you, the Impermanence Walker, are quite powerful? But aren't the Black and White Impermanence ghosts? And since you are the Impermanence Walker, then the ghost generals of the underworld should be your allies, right? Why are they attacking you?"
Ye Luo chuckled, "The human world of Jiuzhou is already divided into pieces, so how can the netherworld be a solid block?"
As she spoke, she gave the three of them some basic knowledge.
The netherworld is generally divided into two camps.
The establishment faction headed by the King of Hell believes in the order of yin and yang, reincarnation of life and death, and that everyone in the nine provinces and the underworld lives their own life.
The conquering faction, headed by the Hades, believed that the world of the living should also be turned into the underworld.
Originally the King of Hell was the one in power, but ever since the calamity from heaven came, yin and yang were out of order, the Emperor of the Underworld gradually gained power and launched an underworld invasion on the Nine Provinces.
However, a part of the old reincarnation system still remains, and the Impermanence Walker is one of it. Impermanence is divided into Black Impermanence, played by a ghost, and White Impermanence, which is the Impermanence Walker, played by a living person.
The two cooperate with each other to guide the souls of the dead.
Since the lifespan of living people is limited, the walker of impermanence needs to be passed down from generation to generation. Sometimes, he is specially appointed by the King of Hell's envoy and selected from among mortals with special qualifications.
Because of his duty to guide the souls of the dead and capture evil spirits, the Walker of Impermanence enjoys a high prestige among ghosts.
Xiao Jie was amazed when he heard this. "Then the Impermanence Walker is equivalent to a plainclothes policeman?" "Almost. So I want to bring people in, and the patrol ghost should give me some face. But don't do anything too reckless. Plainclothes police may not be effective in Jinshanjiao."
"Is this ghost market considered the Golden Mountain Corner?"
"Not really, but it's not much different. It's a no-man's land anyway. Now that the Yin and Yang are severed, these wandering ghosts can't enter reincarnation. They can only stay in the special area of the Ghost Market, which is equivalent to an autonomous town. If we don't cause trouble, no one will bother us. But if we do, it will still be dangerous."
The four of them walked along the streets of the ghost market. They could see many ghost NPCs in the surrounding shops, all displayed as neutral units with yellow names. This made Xiao Jie relax a lot.
The pedestrians on the street also looked strange. Some were still in the state of death, with their heads cut off and hearts dug out, and their arms and legs missing. Some looked just like living people, except that their faces were slightly pale. One could even see some monsters, which were obviously fox demons and crow spirits, wandering around.
It seems that this ghost market has attracted quite a few demons and monsters.
However, probably because of the special nature of the map, these monsters are all neutral units.
What surprised Xiao Jie was that there were actually all kinds of goods for sale in the shops in this ghost market.
But the price is a bit outrageous.
Xiao Jie walked into a weapons shop and asked the owner what weapons were for sale. A list of products immediately popped up in front of him.
Mourning stick: 600 yuanbao.
Ghost Whip: 900 Yuanbao.
Soul-piercing Spear: 1200 Yuanbao.
Dark Iron Ingot: 2000 Yuanbao.
Hey, what is this ingot?
Found another pharmacy.
Will-O-Wisp Dust: 300 Yuanbao.
Dark Lantern Grass: 400 Yuanbao.
Red spider lily: 800 yuanbao.
Hey, there are actually pills for sale.
Soul-Returning Pill: 5000 Yuanbao.
Damn, is it a resurrection item? Xiao Jie quickly clicked to check the properties.
[Returning Soul Pill (Top Grade Pill)
Use: Grants you the [Return Soul] BUFF, which lasts for 24 hours.
Note: If you are killed in this state, you will return to the game as a ghost for 24 hours. 】
Shit, I'm so excited...
This ghost obviously does not exist permanently. It will naturally dissipate after 24 hours and it will only leave some lasting memories.
Maybe I can get some revenge or something, but I don't know if this ghost has the ability to fight, or how strong it is...
Then Xiao Jie found another stall selling food.
Fruit: Steamed buns. 300 Yuanbao.
Fruit: Plow. 500 Yuanbao.
Fruit offering: Peaches: 1600 Yuanbao.
Burning incense: 5000 yuanbao.
Hey, these incense and fruit offerings are actually food, and they are not cheap.
Unfortunately, this ingot should be a special currency, and I don’t know how to obtain it.
The four of them walked around and saw a lot of new and interesting things. These ghosts were quite good at playing. Some even performed magic tricks to make a living, some guessed riddles, some played chess and gambled on the endgame in the street, and there were all kinds of small games.
But there was not even a shadow of the so-called fairies, paradise on earth, exotic flowers and plants.
Fairies, fairies... Where are the fairies? The four of them walked around the street but found nothing.
Since I can’t find it, I might as well ask someone.
Naturally, Ye Luo stepped in to handle this matter. He randomly found a local merchant and started asking around.
"Fairies? You must be joking, sir. There are many female ghosts in Youquan Town, but there are no fairies."
"It doesn't have to be a fairy. Anything related to fairies will do. Please give me your choice."
The shop owner pondered for a moment, "There are no fairies, but a few days ago, a troupe of actors came to the town, and sometimes they would sing about fairies descending to earth and swordsmen showing mercy."
"The fairy descended to earth, and the swordsman showed mercy? Where is she?"
"It's on the east side of town, over there by the stage. You'll see when you go."
Xiao Jie thought he could only try his luck.
The four of them walked all the way to the stage. It was clearly daytime, but it was pitch black all around. There were many ghost NPCs sitting on the stands, watching the show on the stage happily in the dark.
Xiao Jie looked towards the stage, but what was performing there was not a person, but an origami play.
Patterns of flowers, plants and trees were cut out from colorful paper, and the decorated stage was colorful and very beautiful. There was also a pavilion made of paper, and the background was a pattern of clouds painted with ink lines.
There were also more than a dozen paper figures cut out of white paper, with different appearances. Some had their faces painted with pastels, and had pink and green paper skirts stuck on their bodies, tied with thin strings, and controlled to make various movements.
There was also a shrill voice dubbing behind the stage.
"Little brother, why don't you drink it? This is the wine from heaven. Drinking it will surely make you live longer."
A paper figure holds a wine glass made of gold paper in both hands, pretending to toast.
The paper figure who was being toasted looked somewhat familiar. He held a knife in one hand and a sword in the other, and was wearing a knight's robe. There was a frightened expression painted on his face with ink, as if he was trying to escape.
Xiao Jie was surprised. That was - unparalleled chivalry?
