Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 537: Meeting Jin Chanzi Again

"Brother Xiao, I seem to hear the boss's voice?"

Xu Yan, who had already walked far away, looked back and seemed to hear the boss's angry shouting.

"Don't bother."

In comparison, Xiao Ran was much calmer. He casually took out the ginseng doll he had just bought and threw it to Liumu: "This is for you."

Liumu looked at the so-called ginseng essence in his hand, curled his lips in disdain and said, "Forget it, eating this thing will cause constipation."

As he said this, he pinched the chubby doll in his hand into pieces, and powder flew everywhere, but there was not a drop of ginseng liquid.

At this moment, Xu Yan realized something. He looked at the fragments on the ground and raised his head in surprise: "Is it fake?"

"How else could we get so many ginseng essences? This thing is a rare precious medicine that can heal multiple internal injuries instantly. If we can really catch a bunch of them at once, hey, then we'll be able to take off."

Liumu said with a grin.

"Then why did you buy this fake product?"

Wenwen asked at the side. Although she didn't know how much 3000 ghost money was, she could guess that the price was definitely not cheap.

"Because the ginseng essence in his hand is real!"

As Xiao Ran spoke, he grabbed a light golden ginseng from the space and it appeared in his hand. The ginseng was thirty centimeters long, its beard was like a dragon, its leaves were green, and there were a few inconspicuous cuts on the beard on the left side of the ginseng.

Although the appearance has changed, this thing is indeed the ginseng doll in the vendor's hand just now.

It turned out that Xiao Ran bought fake things and stole real things. Just when he was bargaining, he bumped into the vendor and stumbled. He then used his magical hands to switch the ginseng in the hands of the two men and stuffed the real ginseng into his own space.

When it comes to stealing, although he doesn't have any professional skills, this skillful use of his bare hands is one of Xiao Ran's specialties.

However, this cannot be considered stealing, after all, Xiao Ran paid for it.

3000 ghost money to buy such a ginseng essence is really a great deal. After all, it can save lives at critical moments.

If it is given to a pharmacist to make many precious potions, its value will definitely double when placed on Bone Spirit Street.

So this deal is a sure win.

The four of them continued to stroll around the street. With Liumu as the local tyrant, they purchased some medicines from several stalls one after another.

Some medicinal herbs are real, while others are fake.

Xiao Ran and the other two tried to pick up some cheap items as much as possible. Three transactions per person would be enough. The main mission was actually easier than they thought.

So even if it is a fake, as long as the price is right, Xiao Ran will signal Xu Yan and Wenwen to buy it.

Because it is a fake product, generally speaking, no further tampering will be done on it. It is safe enough and very suitable for newcomers like Wenwen.

But even fake products require money.

How could a newcomer like Wenwen have paper money for the dead?

Xiao Ran could help Wenwen at least complete the main task first, so Wenwen was lucky, or it could be said that He Jun was lucky. He lost himself, but at least he found a way out for his girlfriend.

But others were not so lucky.

"Brother Xiao!"

Xu Yan called out to Xiao Ran and motioned for Xiao Ran to look to the left. Xiao Ran followed Xu Yan's line of sight and looked to the left. In front of a stall not far away, a girl was sitting there. It was not difficult to tell from her clothes that this girl should be one of the twenty-eight people who were involved in the maze city.

Whether or not he was a beginner was not certain, but it didn’t matter now.

The girl was seen sitting behind the stall, with a dull look and empty eyes, while the stall owner kept feeding the girl all kinds of messy things to eat.

When the stall owner poured a bottle of foul-smelling liquid into the girl's mouth, many mushrooms began to grow on her skin.

The climate in Bashu is very humid, which makes the girls here have very delicate skin. But now when those colorful mushroom cells emerge from under the girls' skin, the picture becomes exceptionally clear.

"Ugh~~~"

This scene instantly made Wenwen, who is also a woman, vomit.

In fact, let alone Wenwen, even Xu Yan, as a man, felt that he couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Especially when he saw the hyphae growing out of the girl's eyeballs, turning the girl's eyes into a hole covered with colorful hyphae, Xu Yan couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

"Everyone, this is top-grade cattail. It has been nourished by the medicine I carefully prepared. It is very good for growing flowers and vegetables at home. You can take it away for 200 ghost coins."

Many people gathered around the stall, looking at the girl whose body was covered with various fungi, and laughed strangely.

The price of 200 ghost money also attracted many people.

Wenwen couldn't stop shaking all over. She didn't know whether 200 ghost money was too expensive or cheap.

But the money Xiao Ran paid for her in the transaction almost exceeded this amount.

If Wenwen hadn't met Xiao Ran, she wouldn't even dare to imagine how she would survive in such a place.

Thinking of this, she looked at Xiao Ran with eyes full of awe and gratitude.

“Ding-ling! Ding-ling!!”

Just at this moment, the sound of a bell was heard. Hearing the sound, people on the street made way.

I saw a team walking past, beating gongs and drums along the way. In front of them were two girls in white dresses, holding white umbrellas, dancing as they walked, and continuously throwing out guide money from flower baskets.

When Xiao Ran saw this team for the first time, he felt familiar with it. When he saw the white sedan at the back of the team, Xiao Ran was stunned: "Hey, why is it her?"

"you know??"

Liumu saw Xiao Ran's surprised expression, looked at the sedan curiously, then looked at Xiao Ran, and said with a sly smile: "Is it your mistress?" Xiao Ran glared at Liumu, without explaining, but motioned Xu Yan and Wenwen to follow him.

Although Xiao Ran didn't recognize the person in the sedan, he knew the sedan.

only……

"Why is she here??"

The sedan chair in front of me is the one that belongs to Xi Mama, the owner of Laoguai Street.

No, to be precise, it should be the owner of the former Laoguai Street.

At the Star Treasure Master's place, this happy mother went all in, risking almost all of her fortune to take the spiritual child into her hands.

Therefore, the owner of Laoguai Street now should be Xingbaozhu.

"Could it be that the Star Treasure Master has come? But if it is the Star Treasure Master, why would she come here in such a grand manner in Xi Mama's sedan chair?"

The three followed the sedan chair to the gate of a large courtyard.

However, the sedan just stopped in front of the courtyard gate and had no intention of going inside, which made Xiao Ran a little confused.

"What is that place?" Xiao Ran pointed at the courtyard and asked Liumu.

This compound is extraordinary at first glance.

The vermilion-painted gate is more than three meters high, adopting the highest standard of five rooms and three doors. The top of the gate is covered with green glazed tiles, and the two ends of the ridge are decorated with gargoyles. A gold-painted plaque hangs under the eaves, with three large gold-plated characters inscribed on it, which is very eye-catching.

However, neither Xiao Ran, Xu Yan, nor Wenwen could recognize the words written on the plaque.

So I can only ask Liumu.

"Oh, the Ghost King's Mansion."

Liu Mu glanced at it and said casually.

"Ghost King's Mansion? Is there a ghost king living in it?"

"Almost, but..." Liumu paused, took a closer look at the gate, and then said, "It should be a ghost king from the human world."

Xu Yan, who was standing by, could not help but ask, "The ghost king of the human world? Are there ghost kings in the human world and the underworld?"

"Of course, it's divided in great detail." Liumu turned around and started explaining things to Xu Yan.

The ghost kings in the human world originally came from wealthy and powerful families. Later, they were instructed by famous teachers and began to practice. To a certain extent, they are not much worse than the righteous gods.

Why? It is so easy for people who have money, power and land to practice cultivation. It is just a matter of fate; not everyone can succeed.

Seeing that becoming an immortal was impossible, he decided to take a back seat and build large tombs, dig holes in the mountains, and eventually die in a Feng Shui location and become a ghost immortal.

If he is more powerful, the imperial court will posthumously confer a title of king on him, which is the King of Ghosts on Earth.

With the endorsement of the imperial court, the underworld must also recognize its identity as the King of Ghosts.

However, the ghost king in the underworld is a bit miserable.

To put it bluntly, he is a leader who slowly emerged from a group of little ghosts, climbed up step by step, and finally earned the title of Ghost King in the vast underworld.

For example, outside Fengdu City, there are seventy-two ghost kings, each in charge of a place. Without an order, they can neither enter Fengdu City nor leave their jurisdiction.

If you are lucky and there are some special specialties within the jurisdiction, it will be okay. You can just make do with your life and endure it slowly.

Those who are unlucky, hey, if they are lost in some corner, they might as well be treated as consumables in Fengdu City.

"Hey, now you understand, there is a saying that the ghost king in the world is better than Tai Sui, that's the truth."

"Pah, they are all a bunch of big dogs."

Xu Yan spat coldly, causing Xiao Ran and Liu Mu to burst into laughter.

As they were talking, Xiao Ran's heart suddenly skipped a beat and a sudden voice came into his ears.

"Your blessings and virtues are immeasurable!"

Xiao Ran was also startled when he heard the sound and hurriedly looked around.

As a result, people were coming and going around and I didn't see anything.

Just listening to this voice, why does it sound so familiar? I thought, "Are you Jin Chanzi? That spiritual boy?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran looked towards the sedan chair at the door in front.

"Great kindness, it is me. You have come all the way here, you must be here to save me from the sea of suffering."

"Sorry, you got the wrong person."

Xiao Ran's heart tightened and he turned around to pull Liumu and the other two away quickly.

Save him? ? Just kidding, in Xiao Ran's eyes, this guy is a walking powder keg. It was okay before when he was in Star Treasure Lord's territory because Star Treasure Lord was there to keep him under control.

But after leaving the gate of Changchun Guild Hall, this guy was more annoying than Tang Monk.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, innocent people suffer as well. Since this little Taoist priest is here, there is no reason for Xiao Ran not to run away.

But just as Xiao Ran was about to leave, he heard the little monk say, "Daoyou, don't you really want to know where your parents are now? Don't you want to know why they left you for so many years without any news?"

This sentence was like a nail that pierced Xiao Ran's feet, causing his muscles to stiffen and his face to become even uglier...
