Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 410: Weird Hat Shop

The bright red word "death" appeared above everyone's head, illuminating the top of everyone's head with a dazzling red color.

Everyone's heart tightened, as if there was a knife hanging over their heads.

The fat woman took out a stick of incense from her sleeve, looked around, saw the incense burner next to her, and walked over.

When Xiao Ran saw this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

But fortunately, the fat woman did not notice any difference between the small villa in front of her and the ordinary shrine, and inserted the incense in the incense burner.

"Everyone, time is limited, you must hurry up."

After saying that, he returned to the team, his body slowly began to stiffen, waiting for everyone to take a closer look.

"They...seem to have turned back into clay sculptures."

"Bah, what clay sculpture? Damn it, isn't this just tri-colored pottery? What a bullshit owner! I think it's probably that old ghost who is playing a trick on us."

A brave escort stepped forward and took a closer look, and found that these people were actually Sancai.

What is Sancai? It is Tang Sancai, a pottery figurine used for burial.

They felt that everything was just a trick, and they had heard of this kind of situation before as they traveled far and wide.

What a powerful old ghost, who thinks he can bully people in the world, but in fact he is just a pile of rotten bones.

"Boss, please ask Lord Long to come. Let's charge out directly. If any evil spirit dares to show up, we will kill him!"

"You're right. We brothers live on the edge of a knife, so why would we care about these dirty things?"

These bodyguards travel far and wide. Not to mention that they are gangsters who carry knives to do their work, even their current business would have been a life-threatening business in the past.

To put it bluntly, they are desperadoes who are slightly more advanced than bandits.

Looking at the indignant looks of his brothers around him, Hang Sui calmed down instead.

Don’t you know what kind of character your brother is? ? If he is so brave, why didn’t he go up just now? ?
So just listen to it.

Hang Sui glanced at Li Jie and the other two, then looked at Xiao Ran standing beside him, his eyes rolling around.

He immediately smiled, walked forward and bowed to Xiao Ran, saying, "We brothers were rude and offended just now, please don't hold it against us, sir. We are all in the same boat now, and we are willing to listen to your orders. If you can take us out, I will reward you handsomely after the matter is done."

Ever since the two sides started to quarrel, Hang Sui has been paying close attention to Xiao Ran's every move, just because of the murderous intent revealed in his eyes just now, which made Hang Sui alert.

I think this person must be a master. Now everyone is trapped here, but he is the only one who shows no joy or anger on his face. He even took the initiative to ask for a banquet. It can be seen that this person must have a way to break the impasse.

"Hey, how can you be so shameless? You were like a hungry wolf just now, and now you have turned into a hungry dog."

The second in command was so mean-spirited that the escorts wanted to chop him up with knives after hearing what he said.

But Hang Sui was very calm, and even managed to maintain a smile as he said, "As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. Today I was blind and didn't recognize the real master. I will definitely make amends to you guys someday."

In other words, shameless people often succeed in their lives.

You can call Hang Sui a cruel and despicable person, but his ability to judge the situation is indeed extraordinary.

When Xiao Ran saw the man breaking the girl's neck, he had already judged her to be dead.

If he hadn't put down his sword, he would have chopped off this guy's head with one blow when he made his move.

After looking at Hang Sui for a while, Xiao Ran had an idea. Since these people were in his hands, he could use their lives as pawns and break this evil situation.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran raised his hand to signal the second in command to stop ranting, and said to Hang Sui: "This place is a place of evil, also known as the so-called evil spirit. If you try to force your way in, you will only die."

Although everyone didn't understand what the evil situation was, they knew about the concept of "Yan Sheng". After hearing Xiao Ran's words, fear appeared on their faces.

If you say that this is some kind of Taoist magic array, they may not be afraid, but if you say the words "Yan Sheng", there is no way these people will not be scared.

After all, the art of exorcism has existed since ancient times. It is an evil technique specifically used to harm and kill people.

"Since you can recognize it, you must have a way to break it. Please teach us, and we will certainly obey you."

Hang Sui said hurriedly.

"It's not difficult to break it. We need to first figure out what kind of evil situation this is. Let's go out and find what they want first, save our lives first, and then break the evil situation."

After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Li Jie who was sitting on the ground: "You don't have to go. Now if one of us dies, you won't die. At least it's like this before entering the bridal chamber. Just stay here honestly."

After saying this, Xiao Ran glanced in the direction of the villa, and thinking of how Li Jie was hidden in a box by the old eunuch before, he hid there. He thought that Gao Yuting, who was hiding inside, should not be affected either.

This shows that this evil situation is not so perfect.

At this point, Li Jie could only accept his fate and nod his head.

He now has poor eyesight, injuries on his body, and is stuck in this terrible place. If he wants to survive, he can only rely on Xiao Ran and others. How could he not cooperate?

"Let's go!"

Xiao Ran walked out with the second in command, and Hang Sui and others followed behind.

I walked out the door and looked at the empty street in front of me.

Xiao Ran turned around and looked at Hang Sui; "Let's go buy hats and red cloth, and you go get the geese. I just counted and they brought eight cages in total, which means you have to find at least eight geese." "Okay, let's do it."

Hang Sui nodded, and then sent a group of people to look for Da'e, while he took another group of people to follow Xiao Ran and the others.

According to the fat woman, red cloth should be asked for from several households in the east, and hats should be purchased from shops in the west.

One is in the east and the other is in the west, just the opposite. The farmers raising geese are also in the east.

"Let's go buy a hat first."

Xiao Ran thought about it and decided to buy a hat first, then go to the east to ask for red cloth, and by the way, see what was going on with the big goose.

Several people walked westward along the street. The lights were bright along the way, but it seemed that it had just rained. The ground was wet, and there were puddles of varying depths everywhere, which made a sizzling sound when they stepped on them.

"Sir, is it really impossible to get out of this place?"

Hang Sui looked in the distance in the direction they came from, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

He wanted to just rush out, but he didn't have the courage.

"Entering the game is like placing a chess piece. We are now the pieces on the chessboard. We can't force our way out."

Xiao Ran observed his surroundings, silently comparing the contents of the [Zhen Jing] with his own magic of exorcism.

Looking at the word "Xi" on the lantern in front of me, I actually had an idea in my mind: "Could it be the Red and White Evil?"

"If it's the Red and White Evil, it will be difficult to deal with."

Last time in Mengchi, the seven brothers fought in Beimang Mountain. At that time, Deng Youcai of the Five Immortals Hall raised the Red Evil, forcing Zhou Shang to take out all the [Seal of the Ghostly Tribe] before he could barely fight back.

At that time Zhou Shang said that all the bad situations can be broken except red and white.

Red and White Evils are very special. Red Evils are already very dangerous, not to mention White Evils. If the two meet, they will become entangled and become the more dangerous Red and White Evils.

But even though it was the Red and White Evils, Xiao Ran was not afraid at all.

Not to mention that he is now basically half a Plum Blossom Taoist priest, and is protected by the identity of a ghost messenger. It would be a joke if he couldn't even deal with the Red and White Evils with his own skills.

Even if Xiao Ran is willing to unseal himself, he can directly transform into a ghost messenger and kill this thing by force.

It is precisely because of this confidence that he dares to take it slow and take the opportunity to hone his skills in exorcism.

“There really is a shop.”

When they reached the entrance of the village, they saw a shop with its door open. Outside the shop, there were two hat-shaped lanterns hanging, which looked very unique, so everyone spotted the shop at a glance.

The shop had no sign. When we got closer, we saw a faint light from a candle inside, but we could see all kinds of hats on the shelves.

"Everyone, be careful."

Hang Sui stared at the shop door for a while, his hand already on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Xiao Ran had no worries and walked straight into the store.

Behind the shop counter, an old man was gently counting on the abacus in his hand.

Facing the arrival of several people, he did not even raise his head. After moving his fingers on the abacus beads a few times, he said, "The hats are on the shelf. Take whatever you need."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran looked towards the shelves.

There were all kinds of hats on the shelves, but after looking around, I didn't see any hat for the groom to wear.

"Shopkeeper, we want to buy a hat for the groom, but you don't have it on your shelf."

The second in command glanced around and found that there was no hat for the groom to wear, so he couldn't help but ask.

The shopkeeper still didn't look up. He just stopped moving the beads in his hand and was silent for a while before speaking: "Hat is worn by people. People wear hats according to their appearance. You are not the groom, so you can't find the groom's hat."

"No, then why don't you pick it out for us?"

The second in command looked at the shop owner with disdain. Even a bandit like him knew that this was not the way to do business.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper finally raised his head, but this raise of his head immediately frightened the second in command.

I saw a centipede-like wound on the shop owner's face spreading from his left eye to the right side of his face, which was sewn up with hemp thread. The facial features of his whole face were twisted into an unnatural shape.

The shopkeeper looked at the few people carefully, then pointed to the shelf next to him and said, "Good goods are chosen by people. Since you are here, you can get yourself a hat."

"Hey, you..." The second in command wanted to say something but was stopped by Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran walked to the shelf, looked at the hats in front of him, and picked up one at random.

The inside of the hat is supported by bamboo silk, and the outside is covered with black cloth. It feels very light when you hold it in your hand.

Xiao Ran took it in his hand and weighed it. When he was about to put it on, he suddenly felt a strange feeling, which immediately made Xiao Ran alert.

Looking down, I saw that the black swan brooch on my chest was flashing a dazzling red light...
