Chapter 316 Fengdu [4k small chapter for monthly ticket]
This is a world.
Although there are only monotonous black and white colors here, which are far less colorful than the world of Daxia, it is still a world.
As Liang Du came ashore, he wandered in this black and white world and discovered that there were "people" along the way.
If you just talk about body shape without considering anger.
If these "people" were placed in the real world, they would be monsters.
To put it simply, this is a "weird" world.
The clue that the master left for him turned out to be a world that looked like the underworld.
What does this have to do with Master protecting Daxia?
What's even more frightening is that Liang Du arrived in this world by using his own spiritual sea.
Even Liang Du at this moment is a spiritual being, not a real person.
Along the way, the "people" he met would look at him indifferently, showing no curiosity, let alone hostility.
It seems that Liang Duben is a part of this world.
Liang Du was becoming more and more confused in his heart, but on the surface, he was becoming calmer and calmer.
If you want to know the truth, you have to calm down and take a good look at the world.
Liang Du forcibly suppressed his agitated mood, and with an inquiring mind, he began to walk slowly forward on the road.
He wanted to know what kind of scenery there was along the way.
I don’t know how long they walked, but Liang Du’s eyes lit up.
During this journey, he met a lot of "people". If it weren't for the strangeness of this world, he would even feel that this world was no different from the real world in Daxia.
But at this moment, he was so surprised because a city appeared in front of him.
Fengdu!
How could Liang Du not know about this legendary city of Blue Star in his previous life?
However, while Liang Du was frightened, he was also a little excited.
He felt that he was getting closer to the truth.
The gate of Fengdu City is open and there are no guards at all.
Liang Duyi was brave and not afraid at all. He walked directly into Fengdu City without any hesitation.
I don’t know if this Fengdu City is a strange city in the underworld, just like in the legend.
As soon as he entered Fengdu City, Liang Du saw that on the black soil, there was already a long street paved with huge stones, which stretched smoothly.
The colors of black and white are more and more impactful to people’s vision.
At this time, he didn't know whether it was late at night or daytime. There was no sun or blood moon, only a faint white light. Although his vision was not particularly clear, Liang Du could see the surrounding scenery clearly.
Outside Fengdu City, I didn't think anything was wrong. As soon as I entered the city, I heard constant noises and a loud noise.
"People" come and go in the city. There are many shops on both sides of the long street, which is very lively. It is simply a bustling city.
But the things they sell are extremely strange. Everything is made of paper, such as paper clothes, paper jewelry, etc.
And this also proves more and more that this world is the world of the dead.
Liang Du looked at this orderly world with curiosity. The strange things here seemed to be local aborigines.
Here, they don't have any weird behaviors in the real world. They seem to be ordinary creatures just trying to make a living in this world.
Liang Du wandered forward along the road, looking at the bustling Fengdu City aimlessly.
Unknowingly, he came to the inner riverside of the city.
Looking at the inner city river, Liang Du felt vaguely familiar.
It seems that he carries the aura of his own spiritual consciousness?
However, he immediately shook his head.
It just has some characteristics of Huangquan, not a true branch of Huangquan.
At this time, Liang Du's eyes lit up.
Because above the river in the inner city, there was a huge object emerging from the rapids in the middle of the river.
Monsters and corpses!?
Since Liang Du made the ferry between Yin and Yang, every strange thing has disappeared completely without leaving a trace.
However, in this world where weird things are like ordinary people in the real world, weird things can actually die and leave corpses behind?
Looking at the corpse of the strange creature in front of me, it had been swollen by the water, and its arms and legs could hardly be distinguished, and it looked like a giant.
How is this different from the real world?
It's just that living people have become monsters, but there is still death.
"Quack."
At this moment, a crow suddenly flew over from the other side. This was also a strange thing, if compared to the real world.
I saw a crow fluttering and landing on the corpse, and its sharp beak landed on the bulging belly of the corpse.
With this peck, the belly of the monster's corpse was directly punctured. There was a "bang" sound, and the black rotten internal organs came out together with black and smelly rotten water, spreading all over the river.
The crow that pecked open the corpse also fluttered a few times with a piece of intestines and left instantly, leaving only the stench of the strange corpse that spread all the way to the shore.
Although Liang Du was a little surprised when he saw this, he didn't react too much. At this time, a strange thing that looked like an old man next to him also saw the scene in the inner city river.
He looked a little regretful, as if he regretted that he didn't find the corpse of the strange thing immediately and was beaten to the spot by the crow.
At this time, the old man also saw Liang Du beside him, and he didn't know what he was thinking now that he was getting closer.
"Isn't it a pity? After all, this is the tributary connecting our city to the Wangchuan River. If we take the first bite of this treasure, maybe our life span can be greatly increased."
Yinshou!?
Can the corpse of a monster increase the lifespan of a monster?
When Liang Du heard this, he secretly noticed that there seemed to be many secrets in this world, just waiting for him to discover them.
The expression on Liang Du's face remained unchanged, but instead, the old man opened his mouth and seemed unable to stop.
"That is to say, we did not catch up with the good times. I only regret that I was not born in the ancient times. I heard that at that time, the rivers were full of corpses, the stench was thousands of miles away, and it was as dense as black clouds...
Tsk tsk..."
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but click his tongue, as if he was filled with regret.
"Hey, but if it weren't for that kind of grand occasion, how could the big shots in our city have survived from ancient times to the present!?"
The old man couldn't help but shake his head, "It's a pity that now, let alone the river full of corpses, one or two corpses floating around in the past two years would be good.
I was also unlucky today. A floating corpse finally appeared, but I got a crow for nothing.
We, the two of us, are not so lucky. We stayed by the river and didn't even react, right..."
Speaking of this, the old man's eyes suddenly changed, and he stared at Liang Du with some confusion, and then he couldn't help but avoid taking a few steps.
Although he didn't know what happened, it was obvious that the old man might have discovered some flaw in himself, but he didn't know it.
However, before Liang Du could react, the old monster shook his head and walked over again.
"I'm sorry, I'm really a bit sensitive. This is no longer the ancient times. Are you not a native of Fengdu?"
"Why did my father-in-law say that?"
The old man didn't say anything, he just pointed at Liang Du's forehead, and then he touched the upper left corner of his forehead.
Liang Du was stunned. There was a trace of complicated runes.
At this time, he let go of his senses and discovered that all the monsters here actually had this rune on their foreheads. No wonder he would say that he was not a local monster in Fengdu.
"My husband has good eyesight."
When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth slightly, as if he was a little proud.
"I can't believe it. It's just a matter of glance. Besides, it has long been known to everyone that people from the ten major cities and secret realms communicate with each other."
"However, there are no rune marks on your forehead. You must have come from some secret place..."
Speaking of this, the old man explained himself, "Don't worry, I won't investigate your origins. The world has become so virtuous, and I won't meddle in others' affairs."
After saying that, the old man looked at Liang Du with a smile. Not sure what he was thinking, he suddenly said:
"The old house is nearby. Sir, why don't you go to my place to have a rest and have a bowl of wine to quench your thirst?"
Naturally, Liang Du would not have any objections. Even if the old man had any intentions, it would not be a big deal in Liang Du's eyes.
Therefore, Liang Du nodded and followed the old man off the road, into an alley and headed for the house the old man mentioned.
I saw that along the way, the trees on both sides became taller, the branches became more closely connected, the light became darker, and the coldness became deeper.
Liang Du looked around and found that the trees here were all tall and lonely pines and cypresses, just like two pines and cypresses standing in front of a mass grave.
Perhaps sensing that Liang Du was observing the surrounding environment as he walked, the old man suddenly turned around and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Lao Chan's house is a bit remote...but it won't take long and we'll be there soon."
With that said, the old man led Liang Du forward for a short while before arriving at the old man's residence.
I saw a large house with high walls and eaves in the middle of the lush pine and cypress forest.
In front, there was a gray door that looked quite old. There were actually two stone beasts beside the door. Liang Du was stunned.
Bull-headed horse noodles!?
Yes, these two stone beasts are exactly the same as an ox and a horse. In this strange city of Fengdu, it is not surprising that Liang Du would make such an association.
"Made Mr. Lang laugh."
The old man looked at Liang Du, who was a little surprised. He still had that kind smile on his face, as if there was nothing strange about his reaction.
"I have lived in this house for many years, and I live alone. I simply don't bother to clean it up. I am really ashamed."
After saying that, he pushed the door open and Liang Du followed him in without thinking. As soon as he entered, he felt the cold air getting stronger and stronger.
As soon as you enter the door, the yard is still full of pine trees, the wind is stirring the woods, the forest is whining like ghosts, and the cold air is coming from all around.
Later, after Liang Du entered the door, the wind at the door became louder and louder, pressing down on the thatch in front of the door, revealing the ferocious fangs of cows, horses and stone animals.
……………………
Liang Du originally thought that when the old man said that he lived alone here, he meant that he was the only one, but he didn't expect that there were actually several dull-looking servants in the house.
When the old man saw Liang Du following him into the house without any scruples, the old man couldn't help but smile.
Then he immediately arranged for his servants to prepare delicious food, and then the old man pulled Liang Du into the living room.
On the way into the living room, the old man looked a little apologetic, saying that he was in a hurry and could not hold a banquet and entertain him properly.
Liang Du naturally said that it was nothing, after all, he now also wanted to understand the world through the old man's strange things.
He followed the old man to the table, and soon the servants in the old man's house brought out the dishes and wine.
Without saying anything at this moment, the old man poured a glass of wine and put it in front of Liang Du. Then the rich aroma of wine hit his nostrils, and Liang Du couldn't help but be a little surprised.
There is actually wine in this strange city of Fengdu!?
Liang Du was not an alcoholic at first, but the old man's wine seemed to have a special mellow aroma. He seemed to be unable to resist the temptation, so he drank a glass, and then everything fell into place.
When the old man saw this, he couldn't help but smile more and more, and then he became more and more attentive. Liang Du's glass was never empty.
Then Liang Du seemed to have drunk too much and talked too much. He actually said that after he came out of the mountain, he walked around for a long time before he encountered the first city.
This city is naturally Fengdu Guicheng.
Hearing this, the old man smiled and comforted:
"This can be considered asceticism for you, but it's all over. At least you are now in Fengdu, and you don't have to go through the hardships anymore.
Let’s do this…”
Speaking of this, the old man poured another glass for Liang Du, and then said with a smile:
"Why don't you leave him here for the time being, until you are completely exhausted and want to travel far again? I can send you a carriage and horse to see you off, what do you think?"
Liang Du naturally would not refuse, but he still felt a little embarrassed, but under the stimulation of the wine, he readily agreed.
Then he followed the old man's arrangement and moved into a small courtyard. Then he seemed to be drunk and fell asleep.
When the old man left, Liang Du was still sleeping on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
Time is like water, and I don’t know how much time has passed in a blink of an eye. However, there is no sun and blood moon in this world, and it is still a dimly bright visual world.
The room was silent at this moment. Maybe there were too many pines and cypresses in the yard, so the shadows were too dark, leaving only darkness surrounding the room.
Liang Du still closed his eyes, lying on the bed, just listening to his heartbeat in the room, and his breathing became longer and longer.
Finally, as if waking up from a hangover, Liang Du rubbed his forehead and woke up. Looking at the dark room, he spoke directly.
"Water, water, water..."
But no one answered.
Liang Du seemed to have come to his senses, and then asked:
"Is anyone there?"
Still no one answered.
Liang Du wanted to get up, but he had no strength. Finally, he took a deep breath to regain some strength, and then hurriedly got out of bed.
He looked at the dim room and opened the door without thinking.
There was no sound in the yard, there were no stars or moon above the head, and the thick darkness was like a copper wall, making the pines and cypresses in the yard look a bit eerie.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and Liang Du seemed to be unable to bear it, and actually shivered. At this time, he couldn't help but want to call out to the old man.
But at this moment, a sound suddenly appeared.
"Dong dong dong."
Liang Du stopped and his face tightened, as if he was listening carefully to the movement in the house. It turned out that deep in the darkness, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Dong dong dong."
There were three more knocks on the door, and this sound broke the dead silence in the house. The house that had been silent just now seemed to come to life again.
In the courtyard, other rooms and courtyards, people were shouting and footsteps were heard.
Liang Du couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, as if the darkness and silence just now made him very uneasy.
When he felt at ease, he turned around, as if he was still looking for the old man's trick, but his face suddenly turned pale.
scare!
It turned out that an expressionless face appeared in the darkness behind Liang Du, scaring him back several steps.
At this moment, Liang Du couldn't help but shout for help, but luckily the other person spoke first and it turned out to be a servant in the house.
"Lang Jun, are you okay?"
Liang Du looked carefully, wasn't this one of the dull servants in this house? Liang Du seemed to be in shock, and then he spoke with a look of fear on his face.
"Nothing, where is your master?"
Just as the servant was about to answer, there was a knock on the door again.
"Dong dong dong..."
In an instant, Liang Du and the servant looked at the door at the same time, speechless for a moment.
