Chapter 320 The auspicious time has come, mixed in [4k small chapter for monthly ticket]
Three days later.
Lao Chentou's appearance has become completely new.
Perhaps due to the power of hatred, he no longer looked as decadent as before.
At this moment, Zhang San was walking in front, Liang Du and Lao Chen were like bodyguards, holding a gift box and heading towards the center of Fengdu City.
Today, the city is a bit lively. Pedestrians from all walks of life are walking in a hurry. The direction they are traveling is also the city lord's mansion.
At this moment, Fengdu, which has no distinction between night and day, is gray and foggy, and hundreds of strange things are hurriedly gathered on the Central Avenue.
Because of this, Liang Du's eyes were opened. It turned out that Fengdu City was not only filled with strange humanoid creatures, but also many dead animals.
For example, on the road at this moment, there are four hooves trampling on them, some feet are staggering, and there are also long snakes with winding belly and legs...
All kinds of monsters and monsters looked at each other at this moment, and then walked silently on the road.
Zhang San was in front, Liang Du and Lao Chentou were behind, and they mixed in and looked calm and composed.
Zhang San was confident. After all, he had unlimited confidence in Liang Du. Old Chen Tou's expression did not change at all. It was because he had already put life and death aside.
As Liang Du followed the large team forward, the front became wider and flatter, even the fog seemed to be much thinner, and the field of vision became clearer.
Liang Du was amazed along the way. After all, along the way, he saw all kinds of strange things around him, and he was even wondering what kind of monsters they were made of.
It seems that in Fengdu City, these monsters don't care whether they were humans or demons in life. They already live in peace and have no racial distinction.
Suddenly.
"Zhang San, are you here too?"
Suddenly a hoarse voice sounded behind them. Liang Du and Zhang Sanyi turned around, only to see an old woman with disheveled hair looking at them with suspicion.
She stretched her neck out because of the surprise in her heart at this moment, as if she was very curious as to why Zhang San went to celebrate his birthday.
Zhang San, the old god is here.
"Why can't I go? Doesn't the city lord need your permission before he invites me?"
The old woman turned pale when she heard this. If these words reached the ears of the Lord of Fengdu City, who knows what disaster would happen.
So, she shook her head quickly, and even though it was a little strange, she left in despair, not daring to stay at all.
Zhang San did not take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but continued forward with Liang Du and Chen Tou, observing the strange things on the road.
What kind of weird stuff are these?
The strange shapes are really eye-opening.
At this moment, Liang Du vaguely felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him. He looked around calmly and suddenly found that some of the monsters on the road had stopped for some reason.
At this moment, their eyes seemed a little hot, and they were all looking at themselves, no, they were looking at the gift box in Old Chentou's hand.
At this time, Liang Du also saw the old woman who was already in the distance. She lowered her head and said a few words to other strange things from time to time.
Some monsters ignored them and continued to move forward.
And some would stop and secretly observe their group with those strange things.
Is it possible...
Old Chen Tou had quietly clenched his hand at this moment, but Liang Du gave a calm look, and Zhang San raised his head at this time, not knowing who he was talking to, more like talking to himself.
"At this time, the city lord is already welcoming guests, right?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the venue.
"Oh, I almost missed something important."
Someone spoke, and then they no longer paid attention to Liang Du and them, and hurried to the city lord's mansion.
Regardless of whether what the old woman said was true or not, the gift box was a wedding gift for the city lord. It would be a fool to do it now.
The old woman obviously saw what was going on here and didn't know what was going on, but she felt guilty and hurried away even more.
The pace of pedestrians on the road became more and more hurried, and Zhang San was a little stunned. He looked around and realized that his words just now really made them think that the auspicious time was approaching.
However, Liang Du also discovered at this time that the clothes and behavior of those monsters and monsters were no different from humans.
It seems that as Zhang San said, although the Lord of Fengdu City does not treat humans and monsters too differently, he prefers monsters to behave like humans.
Therefore, in addition to the characteristics of monsters, these monsters and artifacts can also be worn by humans. Especially on a day like today, the city lord does not like other monsters and artifacts to show their original form in front of him, without a human image.
Along the way, Liang Du was thinking wildly, and before he knew it, he had arrived at his destination. The mansion of the Lord of Fengdu City was already in front of him.
……………………
At this moment, the buildings in front of us are magnificent, with logs mixed with earth and stone to build high walls, gate towers, ravines, and watchtowers.
If it were in the real world, Liang Du would definitely think it was some powerful manor, but this is Fengdu City, the underworld.
When he saw this place, who would have thought that this was the residence of the Lord of Fengdu City?
At this moment, the door was already filled with lanterns. Unfortunately, in Fengdu, a world of black and white, all lanterns were white.
In front of the gate, a group of servants dressed as servants stood at the gate to greet the visiting monsters and monsters.
The monster that was scared by Zhang San before found that he had not missed the auspicious time, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. If he had missed the auspicious time, it would be in trouble.
However, even though they knew that they had been tricked by Zhang San before, they had no other actions now. If they did it now, they would offend the city lord.
As a result, there was harmony in front of the city lord's palace.
The city lord's servants are still checking these monsters and monsters, and those monsters can only line up to enter.
For some reason, Liang Du couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this. It seems that in the face of so-called power, the weak can only passively accept arrangements.
There was even a long queue in front of me, which gave me a sense of déjà vu as Blue Star China entered the train station and passed the security check in my previous life.
This thought made him feel that the world was absurd, and he quickly threw this absurd thought out of his mind.
"Hey, don't cut in line!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the city lord's palace.
Fortunately, the city lord's servants appeared in time and appeared at the commotion. The person who dealt with the commotion was known to both Zhang San and Liang Du. It was the snake monster who sent the invitation - Messenger Liu.
The strange thing that jumped in line seemed to be the first time he came to the city lord's mansion to give gifts, so he didn't know the rules and was thrown out of the line by Messenger Liu.
With the lessons learned from the past, the subsequent situation will naturally go smoothly. No trickster will dare to cause trouble again. Messenger Liu's trick of killing chickens and warning monkeys has been successful.
Immediately afterwards, there was an orderly inspection, and of course there were some who were not afraid of death.
"Where's your invitation?"
"Forgot it."
"Forgot!? You're not allowed in without an invitation."
In an instant, a strange object was thrown out.
"Keep the order, put the gifts on the left when you come in, and put the weapons on the right."
Liang Du lined up at the back. Looking at the situation in front, he felt in his heart that the City Lord's Mansion was strict in inspections and he was worthy of being the master of Fengdu City.
"Hey! Put down your weapons, weapons are not allowed in!"
"Sir, I misunderstood. This is my tail after transformation. You also know that the city lord doesn't like us showing our true colors..."
At this moment, a monster and monster couldn't laugh or cry.
"I don't care if it's part of your body." The gatekeeper rolled his eyes, "Either remove the weapon or don't go in."
"You...that's all right!"
This monster was also anxious, and it instantly showed its original shape, but the original human clothes had a big hole in it.
It turned out to be a strange creature made by a scorpion spirit.
A huge tail emerged from its back, with a dark hook at the end.
When Liang Du saw this, he was secretly surprised, because when the gatekeeper saw this, he actually waved his hand and actually let him go.
Messenger Liu and his people were supervising and didn't say anything.
You can even see the sarcasm in Messenger Liu's eyes. It seems that Messenger Liu is very proud of his appearance after his transformation.
Afterwards, Zhang San turned to look at Old Chen Tou who was standing aside.
"You didn't bring any weapons, did you? Otherwise we wouldn't be able to get in. If something goes wrong at this time..."
Zhang San didn't say anything clearly, but Old Chen was obviously hesitant, but then he thought of the grudge between himself and the Lord of Fengdu City, and his face became fixed.
He was about to throw away the short blade he had hidden in his sleeve, but was pulled by Liang Du. He looked back and saw Liang Du slightly nodding at him.
"What's the meaning?"
Liang Du didn't answer, he just took the short blade from Lao Chentou's sleeve, and then let it disappear without a trace.
Old Chentou was almost stunned, but he knew where this place was at least, so he calmed down his surprise secretly, and then moved forward with Liang Du.
Old Chen Tou, who had unloaded his weapons, put the gift box on the left and followed Zhang San into the door. Zhang San couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the three of them passed smoothly.
But at this moment.
"etc……"
In an instant, Zhang San's heart was raised in his throat.
It was Messenger Liu who spoke.
Could it be that he saw something was wrong?
Zhang San and Lao Chentou's expressions changed, and they secretly prepared themselves.
Messenger Liu walked up to Zhang San at this time.
"Where's Lao Gui? Why are you the only one here?"
Hearing this, Zhang San could not help but feel relieved. It seemed that he and his party were not exposed, but that the other party did not see Lao Wei.
"Old Cui didn't have time. When the time comes, I can only come over by myself."
Hearing this, Messenger Liu nodded.
Lao Gui was actually not an important guest, he just asked casually.
Therefore, without any danger, Zhang Sanliang saved the three of them and safely entered the palace of the Lord of Fengdu City.
……………………
When you enter the city lord's mansion, you are directly in a large courtyard. The fog in the courtyard is almost invisible compared to the outside.
It seems that this mist cannot spread through the Fengdu City Lord's Mansion at all. What is even more difficult is that there are groups of white lanterns above and below the City Lord's Mansion, and the light is shining down.
Zhang San followed the City Lord's Mansion to a table and sat down. He was on pins and needles because Liang Du and Lao Chentou were standing there.
However, Liang Du would not say anything. Instead, he asked him to calm down. After all, the Lord of Fengdu City has not come out yet, so there is no need to worry about anything else.
However, the situation in the yard is also very funny. The human creature is sitting on the left side, which is Liang Du's side.
There is a large yard of monsters and monsters crowded together on the right side. It seems that they have their own places to stay.
Seeing that Liang Du didn't care about the current situation, Zhang San could only sit at the table, but he couldn't stay still because he was nervous.
Besides, since he had already sneaked in, he might as well take advantage of the situation to find out the news, so Zhang San casually chatted with the strange thing on the table, but he didn't expect to bump into the chatterbox among the strange things.
The other party's words came out in a crackling voice. Even though Zhang San was thinking about checking for information, he couldn't help but feel a little confused at this moment.
I really can't afford to offend this talkative person.
He was just about to apologize and quickly run away, but by chance, Messenger Liu just came in. He could not reveal his flaws and could only continue to chat with the weird thing.
As for Liang Du, he stood straight and didn't go anywhere, but he also found out about the situation.
After all, under his perception, what secrets could escape his perception?
When Messenger Liu entered the inner courtyard, Zhang San found an opportunity, stopped talking, and then quietly leaned back to Liang Du's side.
"How's it going?"
"There is no useful information, the other party is still a talkative person."
"I see, there is no information here. You don't need to pry out. Just chat casually and wait until the Lord of Fengdu City comes out."
Zhang San nodded.
Liang Du thought for a moment and then told Old Chen not to act rashly.
"Don't worry, I have been here for so many years. I will restrain myself now, otherwise I don't know when I will have an opportunity like today."
After a brief exchange between Liang Du and Chen Tou, they had already eliminated the hidden dangers and waited for the Lord of Fengdu City to appear before making plans.
"Do you see that gate?"
Zhang San suddenly turned around and whispered to Liang Du.
Liang Du nodded. The compound they were in at the moment was surrounded by high walls. Several exits were guarded by the City Lord's Mansion.
As for the gate that Zhang San pointed to, it was the most closely guarded place. Then I heard Zhang San continue to report.
"I was lucky enough to hear some useful news just now. It turns out that there are two types of invitations, and ours is an ordinary invitation.
And the place leading to the gate is said to be a formal banquet venue, and only those with more distinguished invitations can enter."
"I know, let's wait and see what happens. The Lord of Fengdu City is getting married. No matter what happens, he will probably come out to see the guests in this courtyard."
Zhang San agreed.
Old Chentou didn't say anything. Anyway, for him, no matter what, he was already deep in the tiger's den.
But in the end, Old Chen was a little reluctant. After all, the city guard would definitely stay in the banquet hall inside for a longer time.
Therefore, he asked reluctantly:
"Then can we sneak in from other crossings?"
As soon as he said this, Zhang San was about to remind him not to act rashly, when he saw a strange creature at the table next to him, being stimulated by the words, he walked towards the door of the banquet hall guarding the banquet hall.
However, before it could get closer, several screams were heard. It turned out to be the guards who saw that he didn't have an invitation and took action directly.
Immediately afterwards, I saw one of the strange things guarding him, dragging the strange thing in his hand like a dog.
Then, there were other guards who directly threw the strange thing out.
For an instant, there was silence in the yard. After a while, all the weird things started talking again, and there was a lot of people, as if the scene just now didn't happen.
As for Old Chentou, he could only shake hands and make a fist. It seemed that this was not the time to force his way in. The guards of Fengdu City Lord seemed to be very careful.
Seeing this, Zhang San, regardless of the risk of exposure, moved his position and whispered to Old Chen:
"Old Chentou, the overall situation is the most important thing, don't act out of impulse!"
When Old Chentou heard this, he was speechless for a while, but finally let out a long sigh.
"I understand the severity, don't worry. It's just that I overestimated myself. It turns out that I still can't calm down."
Old Chentou knew that the Lord of Fengdu City might be behind the door, but when he thought of Liang Du and Zhang San, he could only turn his head and stop looking.
Liang Du didn't say anything. He just wanted to see more about the situation. After all, this world was still too mysterious to him.
Therefore, Lao Chentou can only hold back his anger now. At this time and here, he cannot have an attack after all.
Suddenly.
But I heard a gong sound.
Liang Du and three others looked sideways at the same time.
"The auspicious time has come for the newcomers to enter."
