42|The Nightly Exploration of the Ultimate Place through Lucky Channels

So, he bent down, and said to it, “Hello.”

Hearing him greet him, that eye squinted even more, the whole eye curved into an arc, seemed to be smiling, the big eyeballs turned left and right, lively, as if it was not a pattern carved on the hilt of the knife, but an eye that really grew on the human body.

Seeing this, the corner of Hua Cheng’s lips hooked up, saying, “Brother, it likes you.”

Xie Ren looked up and said, “Really?”

Flower City raised an eyebrow, “Hmm. It’s true. If it doesn’t like it, it doesn’t even bother to look at it. It’s very rare for Doom to like anyone.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Ren smiled at Early Life and said, “Thank you very much then.” Turning to Flower City again, she said, “I quite like it too.”

Hearing this, that eye blinked several times in a row, hanging around Hua Cheng’s waist, and suddenly trembled. Hua Cheng righteously said, “No.”

Xie Ren said, “What doesn’t work?”

Flower City added, “No.”

The Doomed Life shuddered again, as if it wanted to pop out of its sheath. Xie Ren wondered, “Are you saying no to it?”

Hua Cheng said to Xie Ren in a serious manner, “Yes. It wants you to touch it. I said no.”

Xie Ren guffawed and said, “What’s wrong with that?” As she said this, she stretched out a hand. Ermain’s eyes widened in anticipation. Xie Ren thought, “You can’t touch here, poking your eyes will hurt.” She lowered her hand, following the curve of the sheath and gently touched it twice. That eye completely narrowed into a slit, shaking even more, as if it was extremely cozy and enjoying itself.

Xie Ren felt very peculiar when he touched it. His physique was quite inviting to animals, before touching some furry cats and dogs, touching them comfortably, just so squinting their eyes, one by one, drilling into his arms, humming and whining. I didn’t expect that now when he touched a cold silver curved blade, or the legendary cursed blade, it actually felt almost the same as touching a puppy. Where was this some blood devouring demon blade or ominous blade?

Xie Ren originally did not believe it, after seeing it with his own eyes, he even threw these evil words directly into the “unbelievable” pile of waste paper. With such a cruel and evil method as blood sacrifice, it is impossible to refine such a good and lovely spirit consciousness.

–

The two of them tasted and evaluated the famous swords and treasured knives in the armory, Xie Ren came out in high spirits, and even took the initiative to bring Hua Cheng’s hand, and together they went back to the Extreme Bliss Workshop.

The young man washed and organized after some was also sent over, changed into clean clothes and snow-white bandages, although still densely wrapped around the head and face, but also a new look. He clearly limbs long and slender show bone emaciation, should be a very good seedling, now he is a hook waist hanging head, do not dare to raise his head of the cowering appearance, it is regrettable. Xie Ren pulled the young man to sit down, said: “Little Ying girl before her death will you entrusted to me, I also promised her. However, I still need to ask you personally, from now on, are you willing to follow me to cultivate?”

The teenager looked at him blankly, as if he couldn’t believe that someone was willing to take him to cultivate, hesitant and expectant. Xie Ren added, “Although the conditions on my side aren’t good, it’s still no problem to ensure that you don’t have to hide and steal food and get beaten up again.”

When he said this, he didn’t realize that Hua Cheng on the side squinted his eyes and stared coldly at the teenager, his gaze full of scrutiny.

Xie Ren said in a warm voice, “Since you can’t recall your own name, let’s make a new one.”

The teenager thought for a moment and said, “Firefly.”

Xie Ren guessed that he was doing it in honor of the little firefly girl and nodded, “Good. This name is very good. You are from Yongan, and the national surname of Yongan is Lang, so why don’t you get a new name in the future, called Lang Ying?”

That teenager finally slowly nodded his head. Xie Ren understood that this was even saying that he was willing to follow Xie Ren.

The banquet opened. This is a small banquet specially set up for Xie Ren by Flower City, but its grandeur is actually not worse than a big banquet that receives dozens of people. Dozens of delicate women each hand holding a jade plate, holding all kinds of delicacies, beautiful brews, fresh fruits, snacks, jade steps slender walk around the hall generally walk around, each passes through the ink and jade couch will be in the hands of the jade plate served. Lang Ying light is watching, but not hands, Xie Ren pushed a few plates to him in front of him, and only then did he slowly take and eat up.

Looking at this teenager, Xie Ren’s mind drifted to a scene.

It was also a teenager with a bandaged face, dirty, squatting on the ground, holding an offering plate in his hands, and was swallowing the fruit points on the plate with his head down.

At this time, a slender woman in purple gauze served wine. Flower City raised her hand, poured him one, and said, “Brother, have a drink?”

Xie Ren had something on his mind and was distracted, so he casually took it and sent it to his mouth. Once in the mouth, he realized it was wine and turned his gaze back. Who knows, this turn just happened to see that behind the flower city, the girl who delivered the wine threw a wink at him.

He spurted on the spot, “Pfft…”

Fortunately, his mouthful of wine had already been swallowed and nothing was spewed out, he only choked himself and coughed. Lang Ying was also startled by him, the pastry in his hand fell onto the table, Xie Ren coughed as he said to him, “It’s okay. It’s okay.”

Hua Cheng then gently patted his back and said, “What’s going on? But this wine is not to brother’s taste?”

Xie Ren was busy saying, “No! Wine is fine. It’s just that I suddenly remembered that to cultivate my path, I must abstain from alcohol.”

Hua Cheng said, “Oh? Then it’s my fault for not taking this into consideration and teaching my brother to break his fast.”

Xie Ren said, “It’s none of your business. It’s me who forgot.”

He rubbed his brow and turned, without a trace of a glance in the direction of the center of the hall.

The woman who sent the wine up had her back to him, and walked forward with a slim and graceful figure and gait, which was really charming. Hua Cheng was only focusing on what he was doing, or he was fully concentrating on him, not even glancing at these beautiful girls, and naturally he didn’t look at the faces of these girls. However, Xie Ren’s unintentional glance just now was clear.

The slender woman delivering the wine, isn’t she none other than the Wind Master Qing Xuan?

In order to sneak into the extreme happiness workshop, the wind master master, even went so far as to disguise himself as a female phase to mix in …… Xie Ren was really shocked by that one winks, and his heart was straight to say You still take the wine to bar me to suppress the shock. At this time, listen to the flower city casually said a few words, said: “Cultivation, I used to think is to seek a dashing pain. If you have to abstain from this and that, it would be better not to cultivate. What do you think?”

Xie Ren calmed down extremely quickly and picked up the conversation as if nothing had happened, saying, “That depends on what Dao is being cultivated. Some sects don’t care about that. However, to cultivate my Dao, it is customary to abstain from alcohol and prostitution. Wine can be done occasionally, but the latter is never forbidden.”

When he said the word “abstain from prostitution”, Hua Cheng’s right eyebrow slightly raised, and it was hard to say whether it was a pleasant look or a look that he found a bit troublesome.

Xie Ren also said: “In fact, there is also a cessation of anger. Such as the casino within the great joy and great sorrow, very easy to generate anger, should also be abstained from. But if you can grasp the mind, win or lose without being surprised, then there is no need to deliberately abstain from gambling.”

Hearing this, Hua Cheng laughed, “No wonder brother is still interested in going to the gambling house to have some fun.”

Round and round, Xie Ren finally brought the topic naturally to the word “gambling”, saying, “Speaking of which, Sanlang’s gambling skills are truly divine.”

Hua Cheng said, “Nothing else, just good luck.”

“……”

Comparing himself, Xie Ren couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache as he said, “I’m really curious, Sanlang don’t tease me, this dice throwing, is there really some secret method or not?”

If not, in the gambling house, Hua Cheng would not have been able to roll as many as he wanted. The lower string moon messenger would not have been able to throw two sixes in one hand. But Hua Cheng laughed: “How dare I tease my brother? The secret method is naturally there, only not a day’s work, there is work also not necessarily everyone can practice.”

Xie Ren had more or less expected this reply. However, he heard Hua Cheng add, “However, I can tell you a quick method, so that you can win a hundred battles.”

“What law?”

Hua Cheng raised his right hand. The third finger tied with a red thread was this very right hand, and the strand of red thread was tied in a tiny butterfly-shaped knot on the back side of the hand, which was very bright and colorful. He said to Xie Ren, “Give me your hand.”

Xie Ren was unsure, but since Hua Cheng said to give it to him, it was given to him. Hua Cheng’s hand was temperatureless, but not cold. He squeezed Xie Ren’s hand and held it for a while, and in a moment, with a slight smile, he flipped his hand and threw out two dice, saying, “Try it?”

Xie Ren silently read double six, took the dice and threw, dripping, really is two bright red “six”.

He wondered, “What kind of spell is this?”

Hua Cheng said, “It’s nothing magic. I’ve just lent a little bit of my luck to my brother.”

Xie Ren wondered, “So luck, like mana, can be borrowed?”

Hua Cheng laughed, “Naturally. Next time if brother wants to bet with anyone, come to me first. I’ll borrow as much as you want, and I’ll make sure that I beat my opponent so much that he won’t be able to turn around for a hundred years.”

The two relative haphazardly play dozens of games, Xie Ren determined that the fruit is really so, then said he was a little tired, Hua Cheng first ordered people to go to place Lang Ying, and then personally take Xie Ren to rest.

After seeing that red-clothed figure slowly walk away, Xie Ren closed the door and sat at the table, holding her forehead. The more considerate Hua Cheng was, the more guilty Xie Ren felt, thinking to herself, “San Lang has really treated me impeccably. I hope that this matter really has nothing to do with Sanlang, and when I find out the truth, I will immediately confess and apologize to him.”

After sitting for a short while, I heard someone call quietly from outside the door, “Your Highness …… Your Highness …… Your Crown Prince …… “

Upon hearing this voice, Xie Ren immediately went up to open the door, and the person outside the door leapt in at once, and it was indeed the female phase of Shi Qingxuan.

She was still in that ghost world girl’s attire, a light and thin but not under | flow of gauze, waist girded slim, as soon as she came in, she rolled down on the ground and transformed back into a male body, covering her chest and said: “Suffocation! Choking! My mom, I’m going to be strangled to death by this thing!”

Xie Ren backhandedly closed the door, a turn around, see the picture is a man wearing a demonic purple sarong lying on the ground wildly tearing his own bustier and girdle, can not look straight, cover the eyes, “Wind Master Senior …… Wind Master Senior! Can’t you change back to your original white Daoist robe?”

Shi Qingxuan said, “Am I stupid? Wearing a bright white Taoist robe in the dark night and giving people a target to shoot at?”

Xie Ren thought to himself, “No …… you dressed like this, in a sense, is a more solid and more people want to hit the target!”

He squatted down and asked, “How did you get mixed up in here, Master Wind Master? Didn’t we agree to gather again in three days?”

Shi Qingxuan said, “What’s the solution! I asked on the way, all said Prince you were sent to the place of extreme pleasure, this place of extreme pleasure is not the ghost king nest! Listen to this name is not decent, I look from afar, think this place must be a full of obscene | cave ah, demonic atmosphere, worried about your safety, so it wasted nine bulls and two tigers to mix in. This way really unlucky ah, either by the big mother and little sister dragged to do face, or endure humiliation dressed like this, I really have never made such a huge sacrifice.”

Xie Ren thought to himself, “You are obviously enjoying yourself,……,” and said, “Where is His Highness Tai Hua? My lord you left him alone outside, don’t let anything happen to him again.”

Shi Qingxuan tore off all of the chest bundles and finally slowed down, paralyzed on the ground and said, ”Don’t worry! I ordered him not to move again as a senior, so there shouldn’t be any more accidents. That being said, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you’re really lucky!”

“Huh?” Xie Ren said, “Me? I’m lucky?”

Shi Qingxuan said, “Yes, the two of us, Qianqiu and I, are so miserable in the Ghost City, either being hung up and humiliated by pulling up our pants, or wandering around outside like dogs unable to find a place willing to take us in, and you’re well-fed and well-housed, and there’s also the Blood Rain Scout as a chaperone!”

…… Such a comparison is quite tragic. Shi Qingxuan finally climbed to his feet and said, “So Your Highness the Crown Prince do you still remember the mission we came to Ghost City for this time?”

Xie Ren said with a straight face, “Of course I remember. Just now in the Hall of Extreme Bliss, I was preparing for our mission.”

Shi Qingxuan was puzzled, ”Is there? What preparations did you make in the Hall of Ultimate Bliss? I only remember that you and the Blood Rain Detective two were playing dice, and it wasn’t fun, for a while you touched his hand for a while he touched your hand, what kind of new way of playing is this?”

“…… “Xie Ren said, “Master Wind Master you shouldn’t talk so strangely, we are just cutting a deal. I’ve found a little clue within the Extreme Bliss Place and I’m investigating it. There’s going to be a bit of luck if you want to investigate.”

He raised his own right hand, clenching it as if he could catch something in it, and stared, “I borrowed it.”

The two of them went out of the door silently, and two columns of incense later, they managed to find the room.

Xie Ren came to the statue of the lady, took out two pieces of dice given to him by Hua Cheng, held his breath for a moment, and gently threw. Only hear “thump” light sound, sure enough, a hand is two bright red “six”.

Xie Ren sighed in relief, but when he thought that this luck was lent to him by Hua Cheng in the Hall of Ultimate Bliss, his heart felt even worse. Seeing his guilty expression, Shi Qingxuan patted him on the shoulder and said: ”Let’s look on the bright side now. However, if I were you, I wouldn’t even accept the emperor’s request this time, so as not to make things difficult.”

Xie Ren shook his head, thinking to himself that after all, Shi Qingxuan did not quite understand Jun Wu. This matter was indeed difficult for Xie Ren, and Jun Wu also knew that he was in a difficult position. According to Xie Ren’s understanding of Jun Wu, in this situation, Jun Wu would not have mentioned this matter to him at all and would have directly sent another Magus to carry out the mission. However, Jun Wu knew that he was in a difficult position and still asked him what he wanted to do. This could only mean one thing: Jun Wu had been unable to find any other suitable candidates to make this trip, and had come to ask him as a last resort.

Moreover, that missing magus had sent out a distress signal seven days ago, and Flower City had left seven days ago, a coincidence that was very concerning.

Sighing and collecting the dice, Xie Ren pushed open the door. Behind the door, it was no longer the bland little room from before, but a pitch-black hole in the ground, with a staircase leading deep into the earth, and a cold wind pouring in from below.

Xie Ren and Shi Qingxuan exchanged glances and nodded. One by one, the two of them walked towards the depths of the hole in the ground.

Shi Qingxuan walked in front and snapped his fingers, raising a palm flame that illuminated the steps beneath his feet. Xie Ren gently closed the door and broke off at the back.

Descending the steps, Xie Ren inquired about something from Shi Qingxuan in passing, “Master Wind Master, have any of the Divine Officers of the Upper Heavenly Court been relegated in recent years? I mean besides me.”

Shi Qingxuan said, “Yes, but why are you asking?”

Xie Ren said, “Because I saw a spell yoke on the hand of that Lower String Moon Envoy from the Ghost Market. That can only be an Upper Heavenly Court Magus, right?”

Shi Qingxuan was shocked, “What? Spell Shackles? The Blood Rain Detective has taken a former Divine Officer of the Upper Heavenly Court as his subordinate? So arrogant?”

Xie Ren said, “It’s not exactly arrogant. Since it no longer belongs to the Heavenly Realm, then wherever it goes is a personal choice. There’s no need to ask much about it, it’s just that that ghost messenger’s behavior is weird and disturbing, so I want to ask Master Wind Master if he has any idea about this person’s identity?”

Shi Qingxuan thought for a moment and said, “There was indeed a Western Martial God who was demoted in recent years, and it was quite a big deal at the time.”

The Western God of War? Isn’t the Western God of War that Quan Yi-jin?

Shi Qingxuan added, “However, I don’t think that Your Highness will come to the Ghost Realm to be a ghost envoy! Because the origin is very orthodox, and the nature is not of the fluttering kind.”

If that was the case, then why was he relegated? Xie Ren was about to ask again, when the two of them descended more than sixty stone steps and finally stepped onto level ground.

It was a one-way tunnel that could accommodate five or six people, and there was only one way to go, with darkness in front, stairs to the ground at the back, and thick walls on the left and right, so there was no need to agonize over which way to go, just go forward.

Only, after extending this tunnel for more than two hundred steps, a cold stone wall appeared in front of the two, blocking their way.
