Vol 4 Chapter 23: Green Lantern
The streets of Beicheng became darker the farther it was from the city, and the streets and alleys were full of pairs of cold eyes. This is the darkest place in the capital, and what gathers here is no longer three religions and nine streams, but even darker forces.
This road is getting darker and darker, and he often comes to these places, but no matter how many times he comes, he is still trembling every time he walks, his eyes are like greedy monsters, wanting to devour the people who pass by here. everyone.
"Look ahead, don't look elsewhere." Hua Wuyang reminded Lian Youyou and Yunxi in a low voice. In order not to attract too much attention, he also made a tattered cloak for them both.
Yunxi took two steps, and came to Lian Youyou's side: "Master, I have something to tell you."
Lian Youyou raised her eyebrows, looked at him sideways: "Say."
Yunxi looked at Hua Wuyang walking ahead, and whispered into Lian Youyou's ear: "Actually, this is the entrance to the dungeon."
Lian Youyou didn't take it seriously: "Hmm, I know."
Yun Xi was stunned with fox eyes: "You, you know?" He never remembered that he had been to the dungeon in Dailian Youyou.
Lian Youyou looked at him with a light smile: "Do you think this dungeon was only created during the Qian Dynasty?"
Yunxi suddenly realized that God Lian has lived for a long time, so why is it so strange to know the location of the dungeon?
This dungeon is not an ordinary place, because it is where spirits and monsters gather!
Whether it is the wandering monsters or spirits, they all have a monster aura, and this monster aura is easy to attract people who cultivate immortals or catch monsters. So, long, long ago, they built a huge and penetrating dungeon deep under the surface! They live there, shuttling between the human world and the dungeon, living a free life that is neither human nor demon.
If the demon clan enters the demon world, it will be difficult to leave the demon world freely, and how can the demon world be interesting in the world? So some monster races prefer to live in the human world.
The dungeon protected their lives very well, and the thick surface covered up their demonic aura, making it impossible for demon hunters to find their existence.
This dungeon even penetrates the world and becomes an underground world! They call themselves Stalkers, or: Inner Earth People.
Yunxi suddenly understood why Lian Youyou wanted to know the buyer, maybe she had already sensed that the buyer might be a demon from the capital. And the monsters in the capital live in this dungeon, of course!
At the entrance of an alley in front stood two strange people holding green lanterns. The green lanterns were motionless in the dark night, which was very strange. The two people holding the blue lanterns were also thin and tall, standing motionless at the entrance of the alley, like two stone statues. They were all wearing big cloaks that completely covered themselves from head to toe, making it impossible to see half of their features.
Yunxi couldn't help pulling the cloak together, because the people in the dungeon also knew the people from their nine sects. Before Lian Youyou appeared, occasionally there were cases in the capital, and they would go to the underground city to investigate. Today, Hua Wuyang went to see the buyer. If the buyer knew that Jiumen was coming, the buyer would run away.
Yunxi took a step forward and went to Hua Wuyang's side: "You can really save your life if you take us with you."
Hua Wuyang became confused again, it seemed that the other party knew this better than him.
He doesn't know, Yunxi is very aware of the behavior of the stealth tribe here, since they call Hua Wuyang to steal the cup, it is very likely that they will not let him go back alive.
The dungeon, people don't care, don't care, gods don't care, demons don't care, self-contained, self-management. So here, cannibalism is also common, because in their eyes, human beings are just food, just like chickens and ducks in human eyes.
Hua Wuyang brought Lian Youyou and Yunxi to the two cloaked men holding blue lanterns, bowed their heads and whispered: "Come to deliver the goods, these two are my helpers."
The Qingdeng man nodded, his cloak fluttered in the night wind, Lian Youyou frowned slightly, the smell on them was too fishy!
Of course, Hua Wuyang couldn't smell it. After the Qingdeng man let him go, he led Lian Youyou and Yunxi into the deep and dark alley in front of him.
Street lights began to appear on the walls on both sides of the alley, one for five steps, as if this was not an alley, but a long passage.
Hua Wuyang had never been here before, today was the first time, and the more distracted he became, the more uneasy he became. It was a professional sixth sense, and he had a premonition that he might not be able to escape unscathed.
On the contrary, Lian Youyou chuckled beside him: "This buyer didn't want to attract our attention, so he invited a mortal to steal the cup. In the end, it was self-defeating and attracted us instead."
Yunxi felt that what Lian Youyou said was reasonable. Because the underground city and the Nine Gates have always been well watered, but if they come to commit crimes above, then Nine Gates will have to take care of them.
Hua Wuyang walked in front and listened to Lian Youyou's words, feeling a little confused, why did she call him a mortal? Make her not like a mortal. After all, mortals would not use the title of mortals when they called mortals, so it sounded strange to Hua Wuyang.
Gradually, at the end of the alley, there were two green lantern men there, but behind them was a vermilion lacquered gate! The door is covered with strange patterns, just like the folk witch and evil religion, which makes people feel weird.
Hua Wuyang is a thief, and he is also well-known in the world, because there is nothing he cannot steal. The buyer has also seen many, but this is the first time, so when I accepted it, I wanted to refuse, but in the end I still couldn't refuse the other party's bid.
"Did you bring something?" one of the green lantern men who was hidden deep in the cloak asked, his voice was hoarse, as if he had a mouthful of water in his mouth.
Hua Wuyang looked at Lian Youyou to the side: "Take it out."
Lian Youyou took out the luminous cup casually, and the Qingdeng man stretched out his hand to take it. The hand was long and thin, with pale skin, which was very strange. Hua Wuyang saw a burst of suspicion in his heart and stopped watching.
"Wow-wow-" Hua Wuhai's crow jumped up on his shoulder and flapped its wings.
Hua Wuyang knew that this was a warning, so she couldn't help becoming alert, and didn't want to stay here any longer: "Where's the balance?"
The Qingdeng man looked at the luminous cup, looked to one side, then turned around and pushed open the vermilion door. There was a burst of green fluorescence from inside, and Hua was in a daze.
Before Hua Wuyang could see clearly, the Zhumen had already closed, and a green lantern man stood in front of him, stretched out his strange blue and white slender fingers and began to count: "One, two, three... um... just right."
"Just what?" Hua Wuyang began to retreat cautiously, suddenly, he found that his back was also blocked by two other Qingdeng men!
"Eat!" After the green lantern man said a word, he took off his cloak suddenly. It turned out to be a face with green skin, only one eye, no nose, only two small holes like nostrils, and no nose. Half a strand of hair, bald and covered with disgusting mucus.
"Ah—" Hua Wuyang immediately froze in place.
The Qingdeng man opened his big mouth, which was full of sharp teeth like sea fish, and bit towards Hua Wuhai's head.
