Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 558 Return
E-level cursed item: [Bronze vessel] (Golden touch)

This item is a Midas Touch specialty, and it can gain special effects when activated during advancement!

Xiao Ran looked at the utensils in his hands, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"In fact, I noticed this thing as soon as I came in, but as soon as I took a look over here, you two had already run away."

Old Ding pouted and complained about Xiao Ran and Xu Yan.

"Ha, anyway, we are all happy on this trip. Let's go and go back early. I guess the company will be anxious now."

Xu Yan laughed and urged everyone to leave as soon as possible.

After the group followed the team through the archway, they heard a prompt sound not long after walking forward.

"Complete the main mission, Taobao, Youshen, there are 28 people who entered this time, and there are currently eight people. According to each person's points, the total evaluation is obtained. Your evaluation is A-level! The reward has been mailed to the mailbox, please check it."

Everyone's evaluation is different.

Xiao Ran's score shouldn't have been so high, but during the parade, Xiao Ran gained a large number of points, so much so that his points jumped to the first place.

Xu Yan received a C grade.

Wenwen is at level B.

Although Lao Ding did not participate in the parade, he bought a lot of treasures from the street stalls and was finally rated A.

The only thing Xiao Ran was curious about was whether Jin Chanzi, the spiritual boy, would also receive a score.

In response, Jin Chanzi just smiled indifferently and did not answer.

Several people followed the ghost merchants' team forward, and gradually there were fewer and fewer ghost merchants around them.

"Brother Xu!"

When Wenwen realized that there were only a few ghost merchants around, she carefully pulled Xu Yan's clothes.

"It's okay. This is normal."

Xu Yan spoke to comfort Wenwen.

Seeing that the fog was getting thicker, Xiao Ran simply took out an oil lamp from the space to light the way for everyone.

After walking for a while, the ground turned into an asphalt road and the lights in the distance gradually became clearer.

This made Wenwen speed up her pace, and she stopped suddenly when she heard the sound of a car horn.

Looking again, he saw the hustle and bustle of traffic and found himself back at that familiar place, the entrance to the ghost market.

Seeing this, Wenwen couldn't help it and squatted on the ground, holding her head and crying loudly.

Xu Yan and others did not disturb her, but let her cry loudly without restraint.

Come to think of it, she went out for a trip, and her boyfriend died, and she had to go back from the gates of hell. No matter how strong a girl is, she can't help but burst into tears at this time.

"I finally got out. I didn't expect that I would fail this time. I hope this won't be the norm."

Old Ding looked back at the empty street at the entrance of the ghost market and couldn't help but speak.

After these words were spoken, Jin Chanzi beside him just shook his head and said nothing.

"Isn't it time to have a good talk about our affairs?"

Naturally, Xiao Ran could not escape Jin Chanzi's actions. Now that he was out of danger, Xiao Ran naturally wanted to have a good chat with him and talk about his parents.

"There's no rush. I can't run away. I just happen to be heading to Mount Emei. How about we go together?"

"Mount Emei? Isn't that the territory of Buddhism? What are you, a Taoist priest, doing there?"

"I have my own destiny there."

Seeing that Jin Chanzi didn't say anything, Xiao Ran didn't ask any more questions.

He walked to Wenwen's side and handed her a pack of tissues: "You can leave the rest of the things to the company, including He Jun's funeral. The company will help you explain the past. As for the things about the maze city, don't tell others easily. The company will teach you some basic things."

"Okay, I remember."

Wenwen nodded, indicating that she had written it all down.

"Please tell the company that I'm grateful for what happened this time. If you need anything in the future, I will do my best to help you."

Xiao Ran's goal has been achieved, so there is no need to go back to the company. It is enough to let Xu Yan say hello on his behalf.

"no problem."

Xu Yan nodded, indicating that he would be able to take care of the rest.

"Let's go, take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

After saying goodbye to each other, Xiao Ran took Jin Chanzi and prepared to set off for Mount Emei.

Mount Emei is not far away, only about two hours' drive away.

However, Jin Chanzi's Taoist outfit was too eye-catching, and his pretty face led to photographers often coming to him on the street to take pictures of him.

Jin Chanzi accepted everyone who came to him.

Seeing that this guy had no resistance to modern life, Xiao Ran finally couldn't help asking, "Are you from Lost City or a modern person?"

"Well, it's a bit of both. I was born in modern times and grew up in the maze city."

Jin Chanzi's words made Xiao Ran even more confused about this guy's background. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but Jin Chanzi just started to laugh it off.

As for what Xiao Ran wanted to ask, Jin Chanzi said that after they went to Mount Emei this time, he would tell Xiao Ran everything he wanted to know, including his identity.

So, Xiao Ran didn't ask any more questions.

When the two arrived at Mount Emei by car, it was already late.

On the recommendation of the driver, Xiao Ran booked a double room at the hot spring hotel at the foot of Mount Emei.

The price is not expensive, but the facilities are a bit old.

There is a hot spring area behind the hotel. After Xiao Ran and Jin Chanzi had their fill at a restaurant outside, they went back and took a comfortable hot spring bath.

During this period, Xiao Ran once again experienced how likable Jin Chanzi, the pretty boy, was. In the blink of an eye, this guy was sitting with four or five girls, chatting and laughing. He looked so happy.

This guy was so shameless that he asked Xiao Ran to come along and introduce two girls to him.

But Xiao Ran ignored them all because he already had a wife.

After finishing the hot spring bath, Jin Chanzi wanted to ask Xiao Ran to go for a massage, but Xiao Ran refused.

He doesn't really like other people touching him.

After signaling Jin Chanzi to go back early, he returned to his room to rest. In reality, Xiao Ran was not worried that any monsters would capture him.

Back in the room, Xiao Ran lay on the bed. Perhaps because his body was relaxed after taking a hot spring bath, Xiao Ran lay on the bed and unconsciously began to practice soul cultivation techniques.

His consciousness sank into his subconscious again. This time, the sinking speed was much slower than before, and the darkness swallowed Xiao Ran bit by bit, but this time Xiao Ran did not feel any discomfort, instead, he found a sense of tranquility in this darkness.

The energy in the subconscious mind is constantly transformed into one's own thoughts.

It was unknown how long this state lasted, before a force began to lift Xiao Ran's consciousness up rapidly.

It was as if the subconscious mind was rejecting Xiao Ran and drove away Xiao Ran's thoughts.

When he opened his eyes, Xiao Ran found that his mental power had not increased much, only to 80 points.

But when Xiao Ran wanted to use the soul-cultivation technique again, he found that his subconscious mind was like a closed door, and Xiao Ran could not sneak in no matter what.

"It seems that soul cultivation will cause the subconscious mind to be on guard. It is probably impossible to achieve success overnight."

Xiao Ran opened his eyes and pondered over what Taoist Meihua had told him about the principle of the second level of soul cultivation.

I don’t know how terrifying Meihua Taoist’s mental power is after practicing for a lifetime.

"Now I have the utensils in my hand. Once I finish the work with Jin Chanzi, I can start the promotion."

Xiao Ran took out his little notebook and searched for the item "ware" and cleared it out.

I also wrote another line below, and collected the reward for this maze city after returning.

"This time, the maze city is much more dangerous than before. This is probably not a coincidence. It's because the maze city is getting closer. Moreover, the frequency of the maze city's appearance has begun to make it difficult for the company to predict. It seems that the time of its arrival is getting closer and closer."

"Eternal Spring Club!"

Xiao Ran thought of the Changchun Association again, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

These bastards actually set their sights on my territory so quickly. What’s even more infuriating is that they even want to take over my Amazing Pavilion.

After I get promoted, the first thing I will do is to rush back and connect the Amazing Pavilion with Chongshan and others to form a complete supply channel chain so that the Amazing Pavilion can play its role as soon as possible.

As for the Changchun Association, Xiao Ran would make a note of the account first. Once he found the opportunity, he would repay it tenfold.

Xiao Ran was thinking about it.

There was a knock on the door.

Xiao Ran frowned, stood up, walked to the door and opened it.

I saw a team of police officers standing outside the door.

"Hello, Meishan Police Station, your friend is suspected of PC, he said his ID is with you, we want to find out more about the situation."

"My friend??"

Xiao Ran's mind flashed with the image of Jin Chanzi, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, thinking: "Fuck, I didn't realize that this Taoist priest was so good at playing tricks?"

"Um...wait a moment."

Xiao Ran suppressed the thousands of complaints running through his heart, took out his cell phone, thought for a moment, and dialed Zhong Yi's number with a helpless look on his face.

Why is it Zhong Yi and not Xu Yan?

The main thing is that Xu Yan and the others are right here, and they might come right over once we call them.

After all, he was the one who brought the Golden Toad with him, and Xiao Ran couldn't afford to lose face with this person.

I pressed the dial button and soon my favorite voice came from the phone.

Xiao Ran swallowed his saliva, hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Zhong Yi, I have a friend..."

at the same time.

In an unknown ruined temple in a lost city.

As a gust of cold wind blew by, a woman fell to the ground in a mess, coughing up dark green blood.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

Several coins on his body fell to the ground and broke into two pieces in a moment.

"Damn, how could this kid recognize such a weird thing." Mrs. Dongzhu's heart trembled when she thought of the look the old demon gave her.

If I hadn't run fast, I would probably have ended up like the Black Wind Ghost and the Ghost Ox Driver.

Although she ran fast this time, she was still seriously injured.

"Go back first. Wait until I recover from my injury. Don't let this kid run away!"

Madam Dongzhu stood up, holding her chest, and planned to return to Jiaomu Village first to heal her wounds before figuring out Lingtong's matter.

However, just as Mrs. Dongzhu stood up, she heard heavy footsteps outside the temple.

Looking over there, I saw two fat men walking towards me with brisk steps.

"Junior sister, where are you going?"

At the same time, a deep and long voice was heard. This voice had not been heard for decades, but Mrs. Dongzhu trembled all over.

"Old man, it's you!!"

To say this, you have to throw a coin.

But before the coin fell to the ground, a hand suddenly broke through the air and grabbed the coin. Then a figure in a Taoist robe broke through the void and walked out. He played with the coin in his hand and said with deep emotion:

"Master is really biased. It should be passed down to boys, not girls, but he taught you all these winning methods."

When Mrs. Dongzhu saw this, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and many cracks appeared on her body, revealing all the money.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Taoist turned around and a white flag appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The white flag shook, and wisps of green light shone brightly. In the green light, a god wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged. The figure then gently waved the whisk.

The next moment, all the coins lost their color and fell to the ground with a jingling sound.

"how come!!"

Mrs. Dongzhu's eyes widened as she looked at the scene in disbelief.

However, the next second, the Taoist figure broke through the air and reached out to grab Madam Dongzhu's throat: "Junior sister, it's been a long time since we last met. Senior brother is back. Can I borrow something from you?"

Mrs. Dongzhu, who was grabbed by the throat, stared at her old lover, the senior brother, with a ferocious face, wishing she could drag him to hell right now.

"Don't look at me like that, Brother had no choice!"

The Taoist of Yinshan sighed helplessly, then pinched and twisted it with his five fingers. Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, the Taoist of Yinshan followed with a strong pull.

"puff!!"

He held the head with the spine in his hand. Looking at the head, Yinshan Taoist held the head in his arms with a bright smile on his face and opened his mouth to inhale.

A ray of fluorescent light was sucked into his mouth, and in an instant all of Madam Dongzhu's memories were devoured by the Yinshan Taoist.

Taoist Yinshan stood there, and it took him a moment to digest all his memories. He forced a smile on his skinny face:
"My dear, Master has helped you get rid of a big trouble. You must wait for Master. Master will come to you soon. When the time comes, our family will sit together and have a good reunion dinner!!"
