Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 413: The Same Origin
When others saw this scene, envy immediately appeared on their faces.

But no one dared to say anything against it.

On the one hand, it is indeed as Hang Sui said, if he died, even if everyone survived, no one would be able to get the money afterwards.

But this is just an excuse to comfort himself. After all, he is still afraid of Hang Sui's strength. After all, his sword rating in Group B is 66, which is no joke.

"The cloth in your hand can't even make up a sleeve. We still lack a lot of this stuff. If we can't complete the wedding, I'm afraid you still may not survive in the end."

As soon as Xiao Ran said this, the joy on Hang Sui's face suddenly disappeared.

She turned around fiercely and said, "Did you hear what the gentleman said? We are going to die anyway, so don't be a coward."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Lao Zhang: "Lao Zhang, you go!"

This time, Hang Sui's words were no longer in a negotiating tone, and Lao Zhang's face twitched a few times.

"What you just said..."

"I'm going to keep my word. I won't play tricks with you guys."

"Ugh!"

Old Zhang patted his thigh and walked to a house with a bitter face. Just like Sun Gouzi had just done, he knocked on four doors and then stood quietly at the door waiting.

"Om..."

But this time the door opened by itself, and no one inside said anything.

Seeing this, Old Zhang walked in step by step, trembling with the knife in hand.

“Buzz…Bang!”

As soon as I walked into the house, the door was closed.

Everyone was waiting anxiously, and a few brave escorts had already walked to the door impatiently and were waiting, just to grab the red cloth that would be thrown out later.

Time passed minute by minute, and after waiting for about five or six minutes, there was no movement inside.

Hang Sui's patience was almost exhausted, and he frowned and said, "Don't just stand there, everyone go find a family, go!"

Everyone walked forward reluctantly with their heads down, their eyes occasionally looking at the door that Lao Zhang entered.

"Sir, I..."

The second in command looked at the bloody words above his head and turned his gaze to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran waved her hand, signaling him not to be anxious.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the sound of a door opening made everyone tense up. Someone rushed forward and pulled out a knife.

At this time, brotherhood is nonsense, the most important thing is to grab the red cloth.

But when the door opened, everyone was stunned to see Lao Zhang coming out holding a red cloth.

He was also shocked when he saw several people in front of him holding knives and slashing at him.

“What are you doing!!”

Everyone looked at each other, and the faces of those holding knives also turned red.

If Lao Zhang died, the red cloth would be ownerless and whoever got it would own it.

But now it is not easy for them to just snatch it away, otherwise Hang Sui’s sword is no joke.

"Lao Zhang, are you still alive?"

Hang Sui walked forward and looked Lao Zhang up and down.

"Of course, I am lucky and have a long life, so of course I am still alive."

Lao Zhang patted his chest and said.

"What's going on there?"

Hang Sui pointed to the small courtyard behind him. Upon hearing this, Lao Zhang hurried out of the door, shook his head and explained: "I don't know either. I was just confused after entering. I vaguely heard someone, so I asked to borrow a piece of red cloth, and then they gave it to me."

"So simple?"

Everyone looked incredulous.

"Yes, it's that simple." When Lao Zhang said this, everyone's faces were filled with surprise, but their mood, which had originally hit rock bottom, now seemed to have found some hope.

Now it seems that there is still a glimmer of hope.

"Cough cough!"

At this time, Xiao Ran said: "It seems that these portals are not necessarily dead ends. It just depends on who has better luck."

Everyone rolled their eyes and thought, "What a bullshit, Mr. Chunchun is just an afterthought."

"Wait here, I'll get you a piece of red cloth."

Xiao Ran turned and said to the second in command.

The second in command couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this. Although he knew that this gentleman was very powerful, the situation was special now, so he was holding back.

But he never expected that Xiao Ran would be willing to help him ask for red cloth.

"Sir, you must not do this. What if something happens to you?"

The second in command felt mixed emotions and his mood was in turmoil.

"Don't worry, I have my own way to save my life."

Xiao Ran patted the second in command on the shoulder, then walked towards a door.

Seeing this, Hang Sui stopped trying to stop him. Instead, he looked at Xiao Ran curiously, wanting to see if this gentleman really had some skills.

Then he urged the others, "Don't just stand there, go and get the red cloth quickly, are you all waiting to die?"

Under Hang Sui's urging, everyone had no choice but to knock on the door.

However, with the case of Lao Zhang in the past, although everyone was afraid, they were not as desperate as before.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

There were knocks on doors one after another on the street, but it was obvious that not everyone was as lucky as Lao Zhang.

Soon, ear-piercing screams began to be heard one after another.

Apparently, someone has started to have bad luck. Xiao Ran walked a few steps forward along the street, thinking in his heart: "From the blood words that Sun Gouzi gave me, my Yinchao is useful, but I gave Sun Gouzi too little."

"This Sun Gouzi is indeed a smart man. He knows that Hang Sui may not be reliable, so he left his address because he wants to owe him a favor."

Do you think favors are reliable?
What if Xiao Ran doesn't care? Or Xiao Ran forgets? Or even dies here? ?

There are not so many ifs and what-ifs. There are so many things in this world. If you think like this, then don't do anything.

Sun Gouzi is not familiar with Xiao Ran, but he is also familiar with Hang Sui.

Instead of betting on Hang Sui, it is better to bet on Xiao Ran. At least Xiao Ran was the one who gave him the Yin money just now. No matter what his purpose was, he was helping him.

Sun Gouzi knew that he could not escape death, so he had no time to worry about so many things. He just took a gamble, and there would be no loss if he lost.

"I'll remember your favor. When I go to Chang'an, I'll definitely visit your home."

Xiao Ran said secretly in his heart, then walked to a door and took a look at the black swan brooch on his chest.

The alarm on the [Black Swan Brooch] was so dazzling that it seemed to be warning Xiao Ran not to go in.

In the past, when Xiao Ran saw such an alarm, he would turn around and leave, but today, he wanted to go in and give it a try.

"Bang! Bang bang! Bang!"

There were four knocks on the door: one heavy, two quick, and four light. It was very regular.

After a while, I heard a voice from inside: "Come in, the door is not locked."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran gently pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a faint yellow light on in the room in front of me.

"Hello, my friend is getting married here, but we don't have enough things to bring, so can we borrow a piece of red cloth?"

As Xiao Ran finished speaking, a sneer came from the house: "Red cloth? Isn't that what you are wearing?"

As the words fell, Xiao Ran's eyes blurred, and then a phantom appeared in front of him.

With a "bang", the door was kicked open and a group of robbers with knives rushed in.

The old farmer was kicked to the ground, and before he could beg for mercy, the silver knife chopped his neck.

"father!"

The young man in the room watched his father being killed, his eyes red, and he was about to rush forward to fight to the death.

But the young man had no power to resist this group of ruthless robbers. The robbers raised their hands and slashed the young man's face with a knife.

The knife chopped down from the left eye and passed through the right cheek, and blood gushed out immediately.

Then the robbers raised their knives and cut off their skins before turning around and leaving.

As the phantom in front of him faded away, Xiao Ran immediately felt a restless and negative energy rising out of nowhere around him.

But before the evil force could pounce on Xiao Ran, a black pool of corpses had already appeared under his feet.

At the same time, thick corpse gas rose and wrapped Xiao Ran up.

"Corpse Technique: Half-Gate of Yin and Yang."

In an instant, Xiao Ran looked like a dead person, and his skin turned grayish white.

"who!!"

A strange cry was heard in the house, and a gust of black wind suddenly blew up from nowhere. This black wind blew over like a knife, and it was filled with a strong evil aura.

But Xiao Ran didn't care about this at all. He just walked forward with a piece of yellow paper in his hand.

Xiao Ran held the yellow paper in his palm and folded it into a lotus shape slowly.

Although it looks a bit ugly, at least it looks like the real thing.

Holding the lotus in his hand, Xiao Ran blew gently at it, and a wisp of faint black fire burned from the lotus.

The black flames were like a black hole, swallowing up Xiao Ran's figure. No matter how fierce the evil energy surging from all around was, it could not shake Xiao Ran at all.

This is one of the eight core techniques in the Zhou family's inheritance, the "Soul Crossing Sutra."

Paper flower-heart lantern, also called paper life lantern.

Just like his own half-door Yin and Yang, they are both means of self-protection and life-saving.

Once ignited, it will burn its own life breath to ignite.

Moreover, with this technique, different people use different methods to light fire, and the effects are also completely different.

Just as Xiao Ran was using corpse qi to ignite the fire at this moment, the rich corpse qi in the corpse pool was mobilized.

No matter how strong the evil force from outside was, it remained unmoved.

The location of this corpse pool depends on the dead body. The closer it is to the dead body, the greater the effect of the corpse pool.

In Mengchi, his great-grandmaster was setting up a corpse pool on Beimang Mountain and mobilizing the corpse energy of the entire Beimang Mountain. Not only did he open the Yin Gate, but he also dragged Li Jingqi into the underworld.

Although this place is not as exaggerated as Beimang Mountain, many people have died here over the years, and there are already piles of corpses underfoot.

At this moment, the thick corpse gas from the corpse pool continuously poured into the paper lantern in Xiao Ran's hand. The combination of the two indeed had an extraordinary effect.

"As expected, they are two techniques from the same school. When used together, the effect is completely different from the original."

Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the power of this set of magic was not much worse than the professional abilities and cursed objects of beginners.

Even worse.

This inevitably made Xiao Ran wonder, if the power was so great when he used it, if those senior predecessors in reality like the bald old man used it, would the power be comparable to that of professionals?

"Whoosh!!"

At this moment, a black shadow rushed out of the house, but it did not rush towards Xiao Ran, but rushed up into the sky to meet the evil spirit and tried to escape.

"I'm a guest at your house, why are you, the host, running away?"

Xiao Ran snorted coldly, and saw an iron chain appear in his hand, which was the [God-Locking Whip]. He raised his hand and lashed at the black shadow.

"Jingle Bell……"

Along with the sound of friction of iron chains, the God Locking Whip turned into a long dragon and penetrated into the dark evil, directly binding the black shadow and pulling it back in front of Xiao Ran...
