Chapter 34: The Enemy Meets(1/2)
Taocheng is not only the gate of hell with its back to the underworld, but also the capital of the east of the underworld.
If Wusi City is similar to a real capital city, Fengdu is Shanghai, and Taocheng's status is more like a provincial capital.
Among the ghost cities under the jurisdiction of the five ghost emperors, only Taocheng is the most prosperous. It is said that although Shen Tu is a ghost emperor, he is very interested in doing business, so business here is prosperous and various policies and preferential treatment have created a
This place is called a mall on the underworld.
There are many high-rise buildings in the city, rising one after another, standing next to each other, like a dream city.
Xu Tong took Lilith and walked along the street. Although he could take the carriage arranged by King Linghuo, it was a rare trip. How could he not experience the local customs and customs?
Both of them were dressed up carefully.
Xu Tong was okay, but although Lilith had changed her appearance, she couldn't stand that she was born a witch.
She has a tall figure, wearing a purple dress, a pair of slender snow-white legs with shining white luster, bright and shiny long hair, a pretty face and big eyes, like a queen of the night descending here.
Following Xu Tongxing all the way, he really attracted a lot of attention.
Although it is a bit high-profile, the more high-profile it is at this time, the less it will attract people's attention, especially since Lilith has lost her godhood after taking [Youxuan Pill], which is the biggest cover.
There are constant hawking sounds on the roadside, and interestingly, the things sold here are also very strange.
"Brother, take a look, they are all rare items!"
In front of the road stall, there are various heavy books placed. In addition to poetry, calligraphy and paintings, there are also many out-of-print ancient books and even martial arts secrets.
Some of these classics were brought down by wealthy intellectuals after their deaths.
There is also a part that was copied by the ghosts in the underworld.
There are many martial arts classics among them, which are like peerless treasures when they are alive. Let alone his apprentice, even his own son, no one can even think of taking a look at them before he dies.
But after he died, he discovered that this thing was useless even after he brought it with him. The ghost has no body and has almost no effect.
These peerless martial arts became waste. They were all written down and sold to booksellers, but only a few guide coins were given.
Xu Tong picked up a book and saw "Twenty-eight Road Tan Legs" written on it.
It is said that the hands are like two doors. You can hit people with your legs. If you have four hands to bounce your legs, people and ghosts will be worried when you see them.
It's just that people are familiar with the three types of tan legs: six, nine, and twelve, but they have never heard of the twenty-eight-leg tan legs.
After looking at the price, I saw that it only cost a dozen dollars to sell. The price was ridiculously cheap. It felt like even the toilet paper in the toilet was more expensive than this.
I flipped through it and took a casual look, and the content inside was indeed a set of kicking techniques.
Try throwing it into the prop book, and it can really turn into a prop card.
[Twenty-Four Road Tan Legs] (not purchased, temporarily unavailable)
Those who carry this prop card can skillfully use the twenty-four-way tan legs.
Active skill 1: Open the wind from all sides
Spending 30 script points, Tan Kick skill damage +1, and in a very short period of time, kicks all the kicks to the target.
Cooling time: 40 minutes
Passive skill 1: Swift Wind Steps
Consumes 20 script points. After activation, the movement speed is temporarily increased by 40%.
Duration: 30 minutes
Cooling time: 40 minutes.
A good basic prop card. For new players, this prop card is definitely a good one.
But for me right now, it completely occupies the slot in the prop book.
It's so cheap. The price of a few guide coins is the same as picking it up for free. If you take it back and take it to the exhibition, you can exchange it for at least 100 script points.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong casually picked up a few more books and looked through them. My dear, the more I read, the more excited I became. So I called the boss, and after asking about it, the boss said that there were as many of these classics as I wanted.
Then he took out two big boxes from the warehouse. They were all filled with various martial arts classics. Xu Tong's eyes widened when he saw them. Okay, just these two big boxes, take them back and resell them, don't say anything.
It’s not a problem to earn tens of thousands of script credits.
For Xu Tong, who is now short of money, this is a business opportunity that cannot be missed.
The most important thing is that this thing is cheap.
Two small denominations made the boss almost jump with joy.
Isn't it cheap? These are three to four hundred years old inventory, toys left to gather dust on the roadside. Now they are out to clear the warehouse, and when the boss borrowed the money, he was thinking that he would go to Hongbin Tower tonight.
It’s time to have a big meal.
If so many martial arts books were converted into prop cards, let alone Xu Tong, even if they filled up all the prop books of Gao Zhuo and the others, plus the team warehouse, it would not be enough.
Fortunately, the boss specially prepared an extra-large wooden box to make it easier for Xu Tong to carry these classics. After stuffing all the classics into it, Xu Tong only needed to occupy one grid to take all the classics away.
Of course, the prop book will only recognize the box, not the prop cards inside.
After casually strolling for a few steps, he found a good way to make a fortune. Xu Tong was naturally in a good mood and took Lilith to eat and drink along the way.
Although Xu Tong was basically on guard against the food in the underworld. After all, in his childhood, he always saw on TV the scene in Journey to the West where the white-bone spirits used toad stones to eat and drink, which inevitably left a shadow in his heart.
But in fact, the food these ghosts eat are special foods developed from the underworld.
Although the underworld cannot be cultivated, there are always some strange plants. As for the industrious Chinese people, in terms of their wisdom in eating, I am afraid that no civilization in the world can match them.
Just like Lilith was eating the Mingcai dumplings with gusto at the moment.
According to the store, it is made with a kind of green vegetable grown at the foot of Taozhi Mountain. I won’t show you the specific method, but it tastes a bit like a leek box.
When the two of them walked to the building where the Chamber of Commerce was held, they saw a sea of people in front of the door.
In fact, this chamber of commerce should have started long ago.
In previous years, not everyone could enter this place. Ordinary ghosts would not even be able to enter through the gate on the first floor.
However, the market this year is so bad, and things like Xu Tong have happened again, which has made people outside panic. No one dares to go out easily. If they are directly killed by those underhanded soldiers along the way, I am afraid there will be no place to complain.
.
The market situation is so bad that many vendors cannot even afford this year's business tax.
The Linghuo King had no choice but to go out in person, canvassing and soliciting customers everywhere, and even made many promises for this purpose.
Xu Tong pulled Lilith into the lobby on the first floor.
This place has been transformed into an exhibition area for various products. There are all kinds of weird and weird things. Unfortunately, neither Xu Tong nor Lilith are interested in it.
The two of them didn't stop and went straight to the boutique area upstairs.
This place is no longer accessible to ordinary wandering souls, and no one can enter without some identity.
After Xu Tong showed the jade sign of the Spiritual Fire King, everything went smoothly.
As soon as you go upstairs, you can see many precious exhibits carefully placed in crystal boxes for people to view.
The underworld looks barren and desolate, but this does not mean that the underworld is barren.
On the contrary, the resources here are not lost at all in reality, otherwise how could this place have become a place for many gods to rob.
A coral tree with a scarlet body, and seven sarcoma-like things on it.
This object comes from Shura Reef in the Sea of Blood.
The seven nodules on it are good things. Take them off and turn them into beads. If they are refined for a hundred years, they will become a first-rate magic weapon.
Xu Tong also saw something very familiar.
There are several green and black bamboos. The bamboos look strange, a bit like human bones.
These bamboos are stacked together, and the real treasure for sale is the strange flower blooming on the top bamboo.
There are two flowers on one branch, one side is black and the other side is white. The flowers reflect a texture that looks like a human face.
"Ghost Face Flower!"
Xu Tong raised his eyebrows slightly as he recognized the origin of this object.
It's not that he is knowledgeable, but the master had taken the risk to pick this thing before, gave it to the old Taoist, and made a [Ghost Bamboo Lantern] for himself.
I wanted to buy a few more at that time, but I realized how precious this thing was after hearing the old man explain its origin.
Unexpectedly, I would see him here again.
However, although the ghost bamboo lantern was good, it had little effect on him. Xu Tong only looked at it briefly and lost interest.
"Boss, we are starting to enter the city."
At this time, Gao Zhuo's voice came from the team channel. They had successfully reunited with Lao Dao and others. However, after discussion, Lao Dao and others did not enter the city.
Because not only Xu Tong's Yin soldiers, but also the demon warriors brought by Lilith were too eye-catching.
Let alone entering the city, I am afraid that once I step out of my hiding place, I will be recognized.
So after discussion, they only allowed Gao Zhuo and Chang Wuju to enter the city, while Gu Xibai, Lao Dao and others stayed outside to see the situation.
"Head, there is another news. The fool is missing."
