131|Two Colors Dyeing Workshop 2
by Jessie@AFNCCThe Wind Master once told him that this man should be Citation Jade. Because there were only a few magi who had been relegated over the years. Thus, Xie Ren said, “What is your name?”
The ghost-faced man said, “I don’t dare, just a nobody.”
Entering the abandoned dyeing workshop, Xie Ren could not help but be stunned. Only to see all kinds of clothing, hanging on a wooden rack: wedding clothes, official robes, daughter yarn, zizi, children’s clothes …… and very simple and brutal blood-stained linen, as if afraid of other people do not think that the clothes have weird. Layers and layers, gloomy, evil, as if a living dead people standing there. Even if it’s not a brocade fairy, it’s definitely not something good.
Long lengths of various colored fabrics hung high on the wooden shelves, some bleak and white, some dirty, unattended for a long time. Quan Yizhen squatted on the edge of the black dye tank, buried in the study of the strange color, emitting a strange smell of the liquid inside, Xie Ren always worried that the next moment he dipped his finger and licked it, quickly dragged him down. See the courtyard, a group of demons and monsters are strung up by a chain, holding their heads and squatting on the ground, said: “This is ……?”
The ghost-faced man said, “Those who have been selling Jinyi Xian in the ghost market recently, as well as the demons and ghosts who have been using Jinyi Xian everywhere, are all here. Ninety-eight pieces in total.”
There are actually ninety-eight pieces, moreover, they should all be captured within a very short period of time, Xie Ren was slightly moved. The ghost-faced man added: “If any new movements occur, they will also be captured as soon as possible for His Highness the Crown Prince.”
Hearing this, Xie Ren couldn’t help but say, “No need. Please tell the Three …… Flower City Lord that there’s really no need to go through so much trouble. I can do it myself.” The result was the same, just slightly more time and effort. However, he himself was a Magus who served in the Upper Heavenly Court, and even if he didn’t have many people to offer, his proper errand was to do just that.
That ghost-faced man said, ”The City Lord naturally understands that Your Highness can do it easily. But it is precisely because of this that I hope you do not need to spend your energy on such trivial matters that anyone can do. Your Highness’s time and energy should be used for more important things.”
“……”
After deliberating for a moment, Xie Ren still said, “May I ask, your city lord is …… now?”
Lang Ying wandered around Xie Ren seemingly carelessly, and the ghost-faced man said, “The City Lord is very busy right now.”
Xie Ren busily said, “Oh. That’s good, I hope everything goes well on his side, everything goes well.”
In this group of demons and monsters asked one by one, each one bites is with the masked mystery man wholesale, does not seem to lie, but the ghost city such a place, within a day to wear a mask of the mystery man will not have more than a few hundred?
Not being able to ask a question, the ghost-faced man pulled the rope and took these wailing ghosts away to say goodbye. However, the ninety-eight pieces of ghost clothes were left behind. Xie Ren only felt that he had never seen so many clothes in the past when he specialized in collecting rags and old clothes, and turning them over one by one, he suspected that none of them might be genuine, and said to Quan Yizhen, “Qiying, come and take a look again.”
Kwon Yi-jin, however, scratched his fluffy curls, shook his head, and said, “There’s too much.”
Too many ghost clothes. The evil aura of each garment interacts with each other, causing one to lose judgment.
This is like a person with a sensitive sense of taste, although he can distinguish between pear flavored and apple flavored sugar fillings, but if the fillings of ninety-eight different fruits are mixed together and he is then asked to taste them, this simply loses his sense of taste. Xie Ren was thinking of other ways, when he looked back, he saw Quan Yizhen directly took a piece of clothing and was ready to put it on his body, Xie Ren hurriedly stopped him and hung the clothing back up and said: ”Stop stop stop. Qiying, let’s make a deal first: first, don’t eat indiscriminately. Second, don’t wear clothes indiscriminately. These are both very dangerous behaviors.”
Instead, Quan Yizhen pointed behind him and said, “What about like him?”
Xie Ren suddenly smelled a faint burnt odor, and then looked back in the direction he was pointing, only to see that Lang Ying had found a match lit from some unknown corner, and was holding it, calmly and skillfully burning the hem of a ghostly garment.
Xie Ren: “…… also …… don’t play with fire???”
The ghost clothes seemed to be painfully roasted by Lang Ying, the hem of the clothes curled upwards, twisting madly and dodging uncontrollably, not like a piece of clothing, but rather like a live fish with a loach, the image actually looked a bit cruel. However, despite the charred odor, there were no burn marks on the fabric, so it seemed that the Yin energy of these ghost clothes was sufficiently abundant to protect them from the fire.
Hearing Xie Ren tell him not to play with fire, Lang Ying then casually threw that match, one foot on the ground stamped it out, and again looked like a very good boy. Xie Ren cried and laughed, went over and said, “How …… are you today?”
When he said that, the look on his face suddenly froze.
For he saw, not far across from him, a long white fabric hanging from a high wooden frame, slightly ruffled by the night breeze. On the fabric, a black silhouette was reflected, walking slowly. And this silhouette, had no head.
Xie Ren pulled Lang Ying behind him and struck his sword, saying, “Be careful!”
This sword chopped the fabric and the figure into two. However, the fabric fell to the ground, the back was actually empty, the figure of the headless man from the party disappeared without a trace. Before Xie Ren had time to go forward to check, there was another slight chill behind his back, and he turned back violently, his pupils suddenly closing. Only to see a gorgeously dressed woman, I do not know when noiselessly stood behind him.
No! Not a woman, just a dress!
What he had chopped in two just now was also a piece of clothing, which fell to the ground and was covered by fabric. And in all directions, a bunch of shadowed human figures staggered and gathered towards the three of them. It turned out that, without realizing it, all of the ninety-eight pieces of ghostly clothing hanging in the courtyard, corridor, and dye house had actually broken free from the racks themselves!
Xie Ren was stunned: “Why are they all like this all of a sudden?”
A low voice from beside him said, “Ten thousand ghosts are restless.”
Xie Ren turned around to see that the one who spoke was Lang Ying. Although he didn’t show any uneasiness, the veins on the backs of his pale hands had risen slightly, and he was obviously suffering from some kind of influence as well.
Once again, the ten thousand ghosts were restless! The closer it got to the opening date of Copper Furnace Mountain, the more deafening its reminder to the ghosts became. The first thing that came to Xie Ren’s mind was, “How is Sanlang doing now??”
However, the situation did not give him time to think more, his thoughts turned sharply, and more than twenty pieces of ghost clothes had already posted up. Without thinking, Quan Yizhen swung out a fist. If this fist is hit on the wall, the ground, it must be the ground shaking, earth and stone crumbling, but this jackhammer fist, but hit a few pieces of clothing. Imagine, even children’s theater know “rock, scissors, cloth”, cloth bag hammer. The light, soft clothing, just is the fist of the grams! His fist wind and then heavy, fabric to you so softly wrapped, unharmed, can only Xie Ren sword to come on. But the ghost clothes are extremely light dodge, a swipe can pull out four or five feet, and because of their own almost no weight, there is almost no sound, to capture their movements, watch out for their sneak attack, than to watch out for people to be much more difficult.
On weekdays, it is people who pick clothes, but at this time, it is clothes that pick people, ninety-eight pieces of ghost clothes, can’t wait to find a person who fits their body and their eyes. Inside the people, women are the ones who love to pick clothes the most; inside the ghost clothes, female clothes are the ones who love to pick people the most. Dozens of women’s clothing long dresses of different colors and styles madly stick to Xie Ren’s body, the sword can’t force it away, the battle situation is more intense than a group of women seeing the beautiful clothes that fit their hearts to go up and grab them, and for a while, it seems like Xie Ren’s side is surrounded by flowers, and is squeezed by a circle of women’s clothing in the middle of the tugging and pulling. Quan Yizhen pulled down a few pieces of children’s clothing that were insistently set on his head and threw them aside, wondering, “Why do all these women’s clothing like you so much?”
Xie Ren said, “Maybe because it’s kinder to look at me???”
However, none of the ghost clothes went to pester Lang Ying, perhaps because he was in the body of a ghost, and knowing that they could not gain any advantage from him, they did not approach. Xie Ren chopped off a few women’s skirts with his sword, and the ghost clothes that were chopped off were divided into upper and lower sections, moving freely as usual, and dodging faster and more erratically. Out of the corner of his eye, Xie Ren glimpsed a few ghostly garments furtively groping for the window and drank, “Close the door and pull the formation! Don’t let them go out!”
Their two gods and one ghost could still handle it, but it would be troublesome if these ghostly clothes slipped out to find someone else. However, it was still too late to shout. The courtyard of the dyeing workshop was open air, and there was already a robe that fluttered its wide sleeves a few times, rose up into the air, and flew into the night sky like a giant bat. Xie Ren screamed in agony and said, “Qiying! I’ll leave the dyeing workshop to you!” After saying that, with a point on the soles of his feet, he flew out of the wall and grabbed the hem of the ghostly robe.
Adding the weight of the individual, the robe fluttering sleeves can not fly up, crashed to the ground was still Xie Ren dead grasp lapel. But it is actually very cunning, “snorting pull” a tear of their own side of the corner of the coat, the strong man breaks his wrist in general, hastily slipped away from the hands of Xie Ren. It so happened that a passer-by to go home after drinking a little wine, head on to see a headless monster darting, scared scream: “ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah a headless ghost! Headless ah!”
Xie Ren rushed up and grabbed the piece of clothing and showed it to the man, soothingly saying, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid! Look! It’s not that there’s no head, it’s all of it.”
The man took a look, the collar was really empty, nothing! This is really more terrifying than a headless ghost, immediately rolled his eyes and fainted. Xie Ren hurriedly caught him and gently placed him on the ground, saying, “Sorry! I’ll take care of it right away, right away.”
After this bout of agitation passed, Xie Ren easily caught back all the ghost clothes that flew out of the dye house, counted the rounds and made sure that none of them were missing, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Things have come to a head, Xie Ren said, “So, we have to use Qi Ying’s simplest and most brutal method, let’s try it on one by one.”
He is willing to wear himself, but right now the other two partners are more difficult to say, afraid that in case later happen to be worn by him to jin yi xian, out of any accident can not cope, or decided to be held by him, staring at the other two people wear.
So, Lang Ying and Quan Yizhen both took off their coats and tried them on one by one, and for each one, Xie Ren would issue a simple command like “jump twice” or “turn in a circle” to see if they would comply.
However, after trying all ninety-eight pieces for one round, the two of them each wore forty or fifty of them without any improper reaction. It seemed that none of these ghostly garments was a brocade fairy. It was a waste of most of the night’s work.
Lang Ying and Quan Yizhen wore single clothes and squatted on the ground, while Xie Ren sat in the messy clothes all over the ground, holding his forehead and said, “Selling fake goods is really not desirable ah ……”
After holding it up for a while, he went to Spirit Man, and Tong Ling said, “Spirit Man, I’ve collected some ghost clothes on my side, although there probably aren’t any real ones from the Brocade Immortal in them, they’re all quite evil and a bit tricky, can you send someone down from your side to collect them?”
Spirit Man said, “Okay, I’ll arrange it right away. How many pieces have you collected?”
Xie Ren said, “Ninety-eight pieces.”
“……” Ling Wen said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince is really capable, and actually received more than what I reported to you.”
Xie Ren coughed lightly and said, “Actually, it’s not me ……”
Before the words fell, there was another familiar sensation of a chill down his back, and Xie Ren was slightly startled as he looked up.
Only a black silhouette of a human being was reflected in front of them, on several billowing strips of ghastly white fabric.
For once, it was neither headless nor fluttering. What stood behind that curtain-like length of fabric was indeed a person. One could tell that it was a tall youth, and even the hair, which was scattered to the extreme, was clearly visible at the edges of the figure.
