    The young man didn’t seem to know what the “White Scourge” was, and only looked at Xie Ren in a daze, when suddenly he let out a loud cry. Suddenly, he let out a loud scream. It turned out that Xie Ren had unknowingly grabbed his shoulder and held it too hard. When he shouted, Xie Ren came back to his senses and quickly let go of his hand, saying, “I’m sorry.”

    Hua Cheng said in a deep voice, “You are too tired, rest first.”

    His words just fell, a small door on the side of the hall gracefully came in two girls, took the boy down. He frequently turned back, Xie Ren said: “It’s okay, I’ll find you later.”

    Hua Cheng turned to him and said, “Sit down and rest first, don’t see him for the time being. If you want to ask anything, I will pry his mouth open.”

    “Pry open his mouth” is a slightly scary wording, Xie Ren busily said: “No need. If he can’t say anything, forget it. Take your time.”

    Hua Cheng came to sit beside him side by side and said, “What are you going to do with this teenager?”

    Xie Ren thought for a moment and said, “Keep him with you first, and bring him with you.”

    Hua Cheng said, “He is a ghost and not a human, you might as well leave him in the ghost city. I don’t have more than one mouth to feed here.”

    Xie Ren said, “Sanlang, thank you. But …… when I said I was going to take him with me, it wasn’t just raising him.”

    The ghost market was indeed Hua Cheng’s territory, if he was willing to cover it, no one could hurt the teenager, nor would he starve him. But the most important thing is to slowly guide this teenager, his sanity and speech will be sorted out, so that he can have a normal look. Although the ghost market is lively, but the group of demons and fish and dragons mixed, should not be for this. Apart from himself, Xie Ren really couldn’t think of any other person who would be willing to spend a lot of patience to guide this teenager. He said, ”I am already very grateful that you helped me find this teenager. I can’t trouble you any further with what comes next.”

    Hua Cheng didn’t seem to agree, but didn’t say much more, saying, “It’s no trouble. You’re here with me, just let me know what you need, and you can go wherever you want.”

    Suddenly, Xie Ren perceived a strange movement, the curved sword at Hua Cheng’s waist seemed to have suddenly changed in some way.

    He looked down and was struck by wonder. Originally, at the hilt of that scimitar, there was a silver eye carved. The pattern of the eye was only composed of a few silver lines, but although simple, it was extremely evocative, if there was life. He originally did not see it because the eye was originally closed, synthesized into a line. At this moment, it opened its eyes, revealing ruby pupils that turned in a circle.

    Hua Cheng also noticed and said in a deep voice, ”Brother, I’ll leave for a while and come back immediately.

    Xie Ren said, “Showing the alarm?” Could it be that Master Windmaster and Qianqiu had appeared in the ghost city? He also wanted to get up, “I’ll go take a look as well.”

    Hua Cheng, however, gently pressed him back and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not His Highness Tai Hua and the others. Brother will be fine sitting down, there is no need to go forward.”

    Since he had said so, Xie Ren was not in a position to insist on going with him. Hua Cheng turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall, waving his hand from afar, the beaded curtains automatically parted on both sides. When he went out, the curtain full of beads and jades crackled and closed again, falling with a crisp sound.

    Xie Ren sat peacefully on the ink and jade couch for a moment, remembering the purpose of his trip, he stood up and walked through the small door that the two ladies had retreated through to see a flower garden. The flower garden was interspersed with vermillion corridors and empty.

    Xie Ren was wondering where to go when he saw a black back flash by in a hurry.

    That back figure was none other than the Lower Sine Moon Ambassador!

    Xie Ren remembered the spell yoke on his wrist and was still quite concerned. Thinking back to this person’s movements, he seemed to be very jealous of being discovered. Thus, Xie Ren followed noiselessly.

    Around the corner where the person disappeared, Xie Ren close to the corner, and then quietly looked, that person really acted very fast, and have to pay attention to the front and back and left and right, it seems to be very vigilant, for fear of being discovered. Xie Ren thought to himself: “This lower string moon make should be the subordinate of Sanlang, in Sanlang’s territory to act and why be so sneaky?”

    He suspected that this person might be up to no good, he also hid his figure and followed him. The moon made seven turns, Xie Ren always held his breath and followed three or four feet behind him.

    Turning into a long corridor, at the end of which was an ornate door, Xie Ren thought to herself, “If he turns around at this time, there’s no place to dodge left or right.”

    Who knows, just as he thought so, he saw that the Lower String Moon made his footsteps lurch and looked back.

    The man pause step when Xie Ren felt to be bad, in a hurry, Ruoxi flew out, in the top above the wooden beams around a few times, his whole person hanging high up, affixed to the top of the most.

    Not thinking to look up for a closer look when he turned around and didn’t see anyone, the Hypotenuse finally turned around and continued on his way.

    However, Xie Ren still didn’t dare to put himself down so quickly, maintaining the posture of sticking to the ceiling, moving forward lightly and noiselessly, feeling like a gecko as he did so. Luckily, the other party didn’t walk for much longer before stopping in front of that ornate door, and he didn’t move any further, waiting to see what would happen.

    Before the gate of this small building there was a stone statue of a woman, graceful and graceful, of course, from Xie Ren’s angle, the only thing that could be seen most clearly was her round head and the round jade disk resting in her hand. Instead of opening the door first, the Lower Moon Ambassador turned to the statue of the woman and raised his hand to throw something into the jade disk. Only to hear “tinkling” two crunching sounds, Xie Ren secretly guessed: “Dice?”

    It was a voice he had heard many times today, and he was only afraid that he would not forget it for a very long time. As expected, the Lower Sine Moon Ambassador moved his hand away, and in the jade disk were the very same two dice, both of which were bright red sixes.

    Only then did the Lower String Moon Ambassador put away the dice and opened the door to enter. The door was surprisingly unlocked, and he casually closed it after entering, and Xie Ren didn’t hear the sound of locking or bolting. After waiting for a few moments, he then floated to the ground like a piece of paper and studied the door with his arms wrapped around it.

    As a matter of fact, this room did not seem too big, so there should be some sound coming out from whatever one was doing inside. However, after the Lower Sine Moon Ambassador closed the door and went in, there was no sound in the room. Xie Ren decisively raised his hand and pushed.

    Sure enough, after opening the door, the house is empty, look at it, it is an ordinary but gorgeous small room. Inside the room furnishings at a glance, there is no possibility of hiding a secret passage.

    Xie Ren closed the door and looked thoughtfully to the side at this stone statue of an envoy girl, as well as the jade disk in her hand.

    It seems that the mystery lies in the two dice in this jade disk.

    The house was still locked, but not a real lock, but a spell lock.

    To open the lock, you need a key, or a passphrase. To open the door, you need to throw two “sixes” on the plate to reveal the real destination.

    However, to ask him to throw out two “sixes” on the spot, this is really absolutely impossible. Xie Ren can only look at the house sigh, in front of the door for a while, draw back to go. Walked for a while, but suddenly stopped in his tracks. On the face of a long red-robed man, waist hanging a slender silver-colored machete, is the flower city.

    He clasped his arms and said as he walked, “Brother, you’ve made me look for you.”

    He was what he was when he went out, and he was what he was when he came back, except that the scimitar that had originally hung at his waist had been sheathed, and hung with its sheath from the hem of his bright red coat, clanking and clanking with the utmost arrogance as he walked. And the silver-colored eye on the hilt of the Doom Blade had already closed. Xie Ren calmly said, “I wanted to go and see that child, but who knows that this house of yours is too big, and I got sidetracked.”

    He originally wanted to tell Hua Cheng about what he had encountered just now, but when the words reached his mouth, he turned a corner and swallowed.

    He had come to the Ghost City to find out the whereabouts of the missing Magus. All fishy clues could not be spared, and perhaps, the missing Magus was being held in this room.

    Or first find a way to enter this door to see. If these two things are not related, when immediately inform the flower city of this subordinate of his dissimulation; and if they are related ……

    Hua Cheng led him back while saying, “If you still want to see him, I will send someone to send him there, there’s no need to look for him personally.”

    Probably because of the ghosts in her heart, Xie Ren spoke to Hua Cheng in a tone that was involuntarily softer and said, “Well …… you finished the matter so quickly?”

    Hua Cheng said, “It’s been dealt with. It’s just another bunch of losers disgracing themselves.”

    Hearing him say “waste” in a very familiar tone, Xie Ren guessed, “Is the green ghost Qi Rong here to cause trouble?”

    Hua Cheng laughed, “Not bad. Didn’t I say, who also misses this place of mine. That punk hasn’t wanted the Ghost Market for a year or two, but he can only think about it at best, and he’s so red-eyed that he sends some punks even worse than him to cause trouble from time to time. I’m not surprised. Don’t worry about it, it just so happens that I have a place I want to show my brother, would you be willing to show your face and come with me?”

    Xie Ren readily said, “Naturally.”

    The two of them walked through several long corridors, and Flower City led him before a lofty hall.

    The doors of the great hall seemed to be made of steel essence, carved with ferocious beasts that were chilling. Hua Cheng walked over and the beasts automatically parted and opened the door. Before Xie Ren could enter, he felt a murderous aura come over him, the veins on the back of his hands appeared, if the evil was poised to strike.

    However, after seeing what was going on inside the house, he blinked, and the defensive momentum instantly unloaded as his legs automatically carried him inside.

    Within the hall, all kinds of weapons are displayed on the four walls, there are swords, swords, spears, shields, whips, and hammers …… It is actually an arsenal!

    Anyone, as long as they are a male, being in such an arsenal, surrounded on all sides by all kinds of weapons, will certainly be like being in the heavenly realm, boiling blood. Xie Ren was no exception, his eyes widened, his face glowing. The last time he showed such a look, it was in Jun Wu’s armory.

    His face is still calm, but his heart has surged so much that his speech is stuck for a moment, “Can …… you touch it?”

    Hua Cheng laughed, “Brother feel free.”

    Xie Ren’s hand then touched it, lingering between the various weapons and magic treasures, as if mesmerized, “These …… are all treasures ah! This sword is good, in the battle of one against many, it will certainly be able to utilize divine techniques; this sword is also good! Wait, this sword is also very ……”

    Flower City leaned against the door, staring at his flushed, loving appearance, and said, “Brother, what do you think?”

    Xie Ren looked at those weapons and couldn’t turn back, saying, “How about what?”

    Flower City said, “Do you like it?”

    Xie Ren said, “Like it.”

    Flower City said, “Enjoyed it?”

    Xie Ren responded, “Very much!”

    Hua Cheng seemed to snicker, but Xie Ren didn’t notice that his entire heartbeat accelerated as he pulled a chilly four-foot green blade out of its scabbard, marveling at it. Hua Cheng said, “Does brother have one that catches his eye?”

    Xie Ren was glowing and praising, “I can see it, I can see it. I have eyes for all of them.”

    Hua Cheng said, “I originally wanted to say that brother does not have a competent weapon at hand, if there is one that looks good to me here, pick one and take it to play with, since brother said so, then all of it will be given to you?”

    Xie Ren was busy saying, “Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t need it. I don’t need any competent weapons either.”

    Hua Cheng said, “Is that so? But I see that brother, clearly loves swords.”

    Xie Ren said, “You don’t have to get your hands on it if you like it. I haven’t used it in years, so I’m happy just to look at it. Besides, if you give them all to me, I won’t have any place to put them.”

    Hua Cheng said, “Simple. Wouldn’t it be fine if I gave you this room along with it?”

    Xie Ren only thought he was joking and guffawed, “I can’t take such a big room with me.”

    Hua Cheng said, “No need to take them away, the land is also given to you, come over to see them when you have time.”

    Xie Ren said, “That’s just it, the armory still needs someone to clean and take care of it regularly, I’m afraid I’m treating them poorly.”

    He carefully placed the sword back on the rack and said nostalgically, “Once upon a time I had an arsenal like this, but it burned down. These weapons are all rare magic treasures, Sanlang should cherish them.”

    Hua Cheng said, “It’s also simple. Wouldn’t it be fine if I came to help brother clean out the armory sometime?”

    Xie Ren laughed, “Then I can’t afford to treat you. How dare I ask His Excellency the Ghost King to give me an odd job?”

    Suddenly, he recalled Jun Wu’s admonition to him before he set off, “The Demon Sword Doom, a cursed blade, an ominous blade. This kind of evil weapon must require very cruel sacrifices and bloody determination to be refined. Don’t touch it, and don’t be injured by it. Otherwise the consequences are unpredictable.”

    After thinking about it, Xie Ren still said, “However, Sanlang, none of these weapons should be as good as your Scimitar Doom, right?”

    Hua Cheng raised his left eyebrow and said, “Oh? Has brother heard of it as well? This sword of mine.”

    Xie Ren said, “I’ve heard a little about it.”

    Hua Cheng ate and laughed, “Not a good earful, I guess. Did someone tell you that this sword of mine was refined by the evil method of blood sacrifice, using a living person as a sacrifice?”

    As always, it was sharp to the core. Xie Ren said, “It’s okay. Everyone has some not-so-good rumors, however, not everyone will believe them. I wonder if I’ve had the honor of meeting that legendary Scimitar Doom?”

    Flower City said, “Brother, actually, you’ve seen it a long time ago.”

    He took a few steps to Xie Ren and whispered, “Look. Brother, this is Doom.”

    The eye on the saber at his waist turned bone-crunchingly towards Xie Ren again. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Xie Ren felt that this silver eye narrowed slightly.
