The next day,
Xie Lian and Hua Cheng set off on their way.
Hua Cheng held Xie Lian's hand.
"Brother, the next time you see Jun Wu, don't say a word to him. Just turn around and run."
Xie Lian asked curiously, "Why?"
Hua Cheng said, "I knew it. Every time he looks for you,
It won't be a good job. "
Xie Lian smiled. "Why do you say that? Originally, he sent it to me.
It's not this job. "
Hua Cheng said, "It's the same. Whether it's going to Bronze Cauldron Mountain,
Or helping him manage the Heavenly Courts. Which one is a good job? The Heavenly Courts are now in a mess.
Let's disperse as soon as possible. Leaving such a mess to you.
What's going on? It's just a choice between committing suicide with a knife or committing suicide with a sword. "
Xie Lian couldn't help but laugh.
Then he said seriously, "However,
I really didn't expect you to take the initiative to accompany me to Bronze Cauldron Mountain. I thought about it for a long time.
I think I have to say, San Lang.
Don't force yourself. "
He always felt that Hua Cheng had taken the initiative to go with him because he knew what he was thinking. After all,
Xie Lian really felt that compared to managing the Heavenly Courts,
Doing something he was not good at, it was better to be locked in a furnace and kill to his heart's content. However, Hua Cheng said, "Brother, I've already promised not to force myself.
Don't you believe me? "
Xie Lian said, "Of course not …"
Hua Cheng nodded and said, "Then don't worry, brother. I have my own considerations. Don't feel like you owe me a favor. Even if you stand in my position, I don't mind shoving the new Ghost King back before he is born. "
On this matter, the current Ghost King and the Heavenly Courts had common interests. There was only so much rice, and everyone wanted to eat it. Now, there was not enough to share. Occasionally, they would fight, and a newcomer would have a share. No one was willing. Furthermore, if this newcomer was crazy and went berserk, no one would be able to eat it.
After hearing Hua Cheng's suggestion, Jun Wu seriously considered it for a long time. If Xie Lian went alone, he would not have as much of a chance as going alone. But if Xie Lian and a Ghost King who had personally trained in Bronze Cauldron Mountain, this combination would have a higher chance of success than him going alone.
Of course, he wouldn't go to Flower City for nothing. Jun Wu agreed to his conditions: Before the next mountain opening, the entire Heaven Realm had to go around the Ghost City. Furthermore, they had to announce the heroic deeds of the Blood Rain Tanhua to the entire court and sing his praises for an entire year … Xie Lian imagined that it would probably be something along the lines of "You bunch of stupid Heavenly Officials! Do you know who saved you? "— Such an effect. This was simply torturing the Heavenly Officials who were already rather fearful of the Flower City and had complicated feelings for it. He was stepping on their faces.
Hua Cheng smiled and said, "With me around, this trip will be much easier for you."
Pulling himself back from his thoughts, Xie Lian said, "I still feel that it would be better to wait for your restless period to pass and return to your original form before we go."
Hua Cheng said, "You don't have to worry about that. Soon. "
Xie Lian was startled and said, "Ah … …"
Hua Cheng said, "What? Brother, what's with that expression? "
Xie Lian said, "… … In other words, San Lang is about to grow up?"
Hua Cheng said with his hands behind his back, "Yeah. I've been enduring for a long time. I can't wait any longer. "
Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Xie Lian would pull him up with both hands raised high and said with a smile, "That's a pity! When you grow up, you won't be able to carry me anymore. Take this opportunity to hug me more, hahahahaha … … "
"… …"
To Bronze Furnace Mountain, they couldn't use the Thousand Li Shrinking Technique, so they could only rely on walking. Dozens of days later, the two of them finally left the city and entered the mountains. It was a lush and verdant forest that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The deeper they went into the forest, the more demons and ghosts they encountered on the side of the road. They were all strangely shaped and sneaky as they hurried along. Holding Hua Cheng's hand, Xie Lian whispered as they walked, "There's a lot of them."
Hua Cheng said, "This time, there are indeed more ghosts than before. Because the Heavenly Court didn't stop them this time, many who originally didn't plan to come have come. "
Moreover, not only did they come alone, but they also came in groups. After walking for a while, Xie Lian encountered a large group of ragged demons and ghosts. Their expressions were sinister as they formed an array. As they walked, they shouted:
"Heaven and earth as the furnace, all living beings as the copper!"
"Hell and fire, ten thousand tribulations!"
"Heaven and earth as the furnace, all living beings as the copper!"
"Hell and fire, ten thousand tribulations!"
Listening to the tone of their shouts, not only were they not afraid, they were actually looking forward to it. Hearing their shouts, Hua Cheng's expression turned slightly cold. He said, "They don't understand what these words mean at all, yet they're shouting it more energetically than anyone else."
Thinking about it, these demons and ghosts who had never personally come here didn't know the cruelty of this place. They also thought it was too easy to reach Cheng Jue. They were full of ambition, making those who personally experienced it feel unhappy. Xie Lian asked, "Is it okay to come in groups like this?"
Hua Cheng said, "These kinds of people usually know each other long ago and plan to go through the mountain together. In advance, they will agree to let each other live. However, all agreements were not valid. Because in the end, killing one more person increases one's strength. Killing one less person means one less chance of survival. Of course, the easiest targets are those who are closest and most trustworthy. "
After he finished speaking, he frowned slightly and covered his right eye. It seemed like he was starting to have a headache again. Xie Lian hurriedly pulled him into the forest and squatted down. He was slightly worried as he asked, "San Lang, we're about to enter the mountain. Are you really okay?"
Slightly calming his brows, Hua Cheng said, "Brother, don't worry. It's normal. I'll be fine soon. "
How could Xie Lian be at ease just because he said so? Hua Cheng then said, "Brother, come a little closer. I have something to say to you."
Xie Lian didn't understand, but sure enough, he moved his face closer. Hua Cheng held his face with both hands and gently pressed his forehead against Xie Lian's. Xie Lian blinked his eyes, stunned. When Hua Cheng let go of him, he said, "San Lang, you … …"
Hua Cheng smiled and said, "Alright. This place is full of ghosts. Brother is a Heavenly Official, so your scent will be very obvious inside. This way, we can cover up a little. "
So it turned out that just now, Hua Cheng had stained Xie Lian's body with his scent. Xie Lian couldn't help but recall the scene of the two of them 'passing their energies to each other'. Afraid that Hua Cheng would also remember and mention it again, he hurriedly said, "Alright. Let's disguise ourselves. "
To blend into the crowd of ghosts, they naturally had to disguise themselves. However, it was actually just a cloak. Many ghosts and demons liked to wear masks or cloaks, so it wasn't strange. The two of them simply disguised themselves. Xie Lian held Hua Cheng's hand and slowly walked forward. After walking for a while, there was a faint noise in front of them. Not knowing what was going on, Xie Lian asked, "Is there anything like a landmark that tells you that we've entered Bronze Cauldron Mountain?"
Hua Cheng replied, "Yes. But don't believe in those things. "
Xie Lian was about to continue asking, but the noise in front of them grew louder. The two of them left the forest. It turned out that in front of a steep mountain wall, there was a large crowd of ghosts and demons. There were at least three to four hundred of them. However, this was only the tip of the iceberg for the gathering of thousands of ghosts.
"Why is the road blocked? Did we go the wrong way? "
"That can't be … … Didn't they say that any road could lead to Bronze Cauldron Mountain?"
Perhaps it was because they hadn't entered Bronze Cauldron Mountain yet, and the slaughter hadn't officially begun, but the ghosts were still in harmony. Xie Lian found a ghost next to him and asked, "Excuse me, what's going on up ahead?"
The ghost replied, "Don't you have eyes? Can't you see for yourself? We're blocked by a mountain, we can't go through. "
"… …"
Xie Lian glanced at the ghost beside him. Half of its head had been chopped off. This was the real deal about not having eyes. But he couldn't say anything, so he just asked, "Can't we go around it?"
At this moment, a few ghosts rushed over from the side. They stuck out their tongues and said, "Damn, this mountain is too strange! I ran for half an hour and still can't see the edge! I ran for another half an hour before coming back! "
The ghosts said to Xie Lian, "No."
Xie Lian asked again, "Can't we climb or fly over?"
As soon as he said that, a seven-foot large bird fell from the sky and landed heavily on the ground. It seemed to have died on the spot. A ghost cried out, "Oh my god! I can't fly over even if I die of exhaustion! "
The ghosts then said to Xie Lian, "No!"
Xie Lian said again, "Then we can't … …"
Before he could finish, the ghosts all hissed at him, wishing they could seal his mouth. "Don't ask! You crow's mouth! "
Xie Lian said, "Fine."
Hundreds of demons and ghosts were blocked in front of this mountain that they couldn't go around, climb over, or fly over. All kinds of noises came one after another, making it very noisy. One said, "I understand! This isn't an ordinary mountain, it's a barrier. "
Another said, "Everyone, after we climb over this mountain, we'll definitely reach Bronze Cauldron Mountain. This mountain is probably the first test before entering the mountain. If we can't even pass this simple test, we can forget about passing the rest. It's better to disperse! "
"Wait!"
"Wait for what?"
A voice asked doubtfully, "Why do I … … smell a very strange smell?"
"What smell? Is it the dead meat you brought along to eat on the road that stinks? "
The voice said, "No, no. It's not dead meat, it's living people! No, no, no, that's not right either! … … It's a bit like … … the smell of a Heavenly Official!!! "
As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. The ghosts shouted, "What?! Don't talk nonsense, how can there be a Heavenly Official? "
"Ah, wait! That … … I smell it too! "
"Why didn't I smell it?"
"If you guys say it like that, I also smell it a bit … … Don't tell me a Heavenly Official sneaked in?!"
"Impossible … … which Heavenly Official would be so bold as to come to this place?"
After a dozen or so sentences, the surroundings exploded. Xie Lian's heart slightly jumped, but his face didn't show it.
Just now, Hua Cheng had clearly helped him cover up the human smell, so how could there still be a smell? It shouldn't be that someone found out he sneaked in.
Hua Cheng held his hand and whispered, "Brother, be careful, there's something stirring up the muddy waters, taking the opportunity to create chaos."
Xie Lian said, "It's also possible that besides me, there really are other Heavenly Officials sneaking in."
At this time, the ghost that first mentioned the human smell jumped onto a large rock and said, "Everyone! Maybe those Death Gods in Heaven saw that they couldn't stop us on the road this time, so they sent people to Bronze Furnace Mountain to ruin our grand occasion. I suggest that everyone take off their masks, cloaks, and clothes first. This way, whoever emits a spiritual aura will immediately be discovered. Everyone, report your names one by one. Don't give them a chance to sneak in! "
The group of ghosts cheered. That ghost continued, "I'll go first! I'm the 'Quick Killer Blade Demon', an executioner's beheading knife. Killing people and beheading people, I only use one blade! "
"… …"
According to Xie Lian's experience, generally speaking, the more exaggerated and straightforward a name was, the more they liked to use words like 'Peerless', 'Thousand Hands', 'Invincible', 'Killer', and so on, the easier it was to be killed. Usually, one move was enough. Sometimes, one move could kill three people. At that moment, at least a few hundred random names were reported. As he listened, he shook his head. Suddenly, a ghost beside him elbowed him and said, "Hey, why haven't you taken off your cloak? What are you? "
He didn't mean to look down on them, but if they weren't human, then calling them 'things' didn't seem to be wrong. In fact, there were quite a few other ghosts who didn't take off their cloaks or masks. There was one near Xie Lian, and it was looking at them with its arms crossed. However, Xie Lian was the first to be called out. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he could only admit that he was unlucky. He slowly took off his cloak and said gently, "I'm a puppeteer."
The group of ghosts surrounded him and said, "So that's how it is! No wonder I felt that you looked like a human. This is the first time I've seen a puppeteer! "
Xie Lian smiled but didn't say anything. Puppeteers were demons and ghosts with very weak demonic aura. This was because in order to make a perfect puppet, they would search for all kinds of materials to experiment with, so it wasn't strange for them to be stained with the aura of other things. Because they were very fond of human skin materials, they had a very strong human aura. The dream of puppeteers was to pluck the hair from the Heavenly Official's head and make a wig for their puppets. Some of them were bold enough to actually try it, so it wasn't strange for them to be stained with the Heavenly Official's aura.
One of the ghosts asked, "Then where's your puppet doll?"
Xie Lian looked around, then bent down to pick Hua Cheng up.
The group of ghosts exclaimed, "Wow, so exquisite!"
"What material? Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's quite realistic. "
"I feel like it's going to be a very strong competitor …"
"How is it realistic? I think it looks a little fake, and the skin is too white. Also, how can a child's eyelashes be so long? "
Although Hua Cheng had his arms crossed and was expressionless, many of the female ghosts were still struck by his appearance. "I'm going to die, what a handsome doll!" "Master, do you accept orders? Can I order a similar doll from you? The price is negotiable. "Some of them couldn't help but reach out to touch him. Xie Lian hurriedly carried Hua Cheng back into his arms. The group of ghosts hissed, "So stingy! You treasure him so much, but you won't even let me touch him. "
Xie Lian hugged Hua Cheng even tighter with his left hand and stroked his hair with his right. "Of course, this is my doll. And he has a very bad temper, other than me, no one can touch him, or else he'll get very angry. "
Hua Cheng raised his eyebrows in his arms, and the group of ghosts laughed. "Aiyo, he can even raise his eyebrows, he's so cool!"
