Volume 1 Huangquan December, Chapter 143: Dogs Covered with Wolf Skins
It was only two days before the so-called "performance" started, and time always passed quickly. They didn't walk around like they did when they stayed in other places. After all, this place was not big, and the place where the trapped monsters took up a lot of space.
Less than half of them were there. Furthermore, Tanghuan County didn’t have much customs and customs - they had already experienced it when they first came here. Therefore, a few people just stayed in the inn.
They arrived quite late, and all the available places near the wall were occupied. It was further away, and even though it had two floors, they still couldn't see inside the high wall. But it didn't matter, they would enter soon.
Zhou Pan did not stay with them in the inn, but he would visit them every night and chat about random things. He probably went to inquire about information, and occasionally deliberately told some local information. At first, Dai Luan even made fun of them, saying
Why didn't he share a room with Shan Hai? His guest room was very empty. Shan Hai said quietly that no matter how brave he was, he would not dare to share a room alone with a vixen who had practiced Buddhism for four hundred years. Zhou Pan said that he had his own place to rest.
, they don’t need to worry. It seems that the last time he stayed at the hotel was just for revenge.
Now is the time to repay the favor - to repay Liangzuki-kun for his kindness.
They can't stay in bed tomorrow, because they have to get a good position the next day. In fact, they have no interest in those bloody fights. Anyway, as long as they can sneak in and let Zhou Pan find someone. But he said, "Money is a waste."
"It's all spent, of course I want to get some money back." Then he encouraged them to get up early.
"I heard that the first human to challenge the challenger since the establishment of this dog farm was actually not a human."
It was obviously late at night, and when they were about to go to bed, Zhou Pan stayed with them and poured a cup of tea.
"Is it a monster?" Dai Luan asked curiously.
"He is a person with six paths of impermanence."
"Eh?"
Mu Wan had just finished washing his face, picked up the basin and was about to pour water when he suddenly sat back when he heard these words.
"Do you know who Wu Chang is?"
"Of course I don't know." Zhou Pan shrugged, "But even though the Six Paths are impermanent and immortal, I'm afraid only two people can compete head-on with powerful monsters."
"Xian..." Dai Luan only said one word and shut her mouth knowingly. But Zhou Pan shook his head and said no.
"Although they are not human beings, they are not monsters either. Strictly speaking, other impermanent ghosts are still in the category of humans. The only 'human beings' who can be put on the stage by force alone are Lord Shuangyue and Lord Kanna. Gu Jia Qianlong·Shuangyue Lord, during his lifetime
His martial arts skills are unparalleled, and as an assassin in the world, everyone knows him, but he lives a nourishing life, which makes people helpless. His Shura demon sword seals the demon blade, possesses the demonic energy, and can reach the rank of general among all armies. Yin and Yang go to the stream·
Kannau-kun, four to five hundred years ago, was able to kill even the eight gods. I was just born at that time, and I was lucky enough to grow up hearing such stories. His pair of scimitars, Yin Yang Yue, were made by Shui Wujun.
, even the souls of all living beings killed by that knife will be wiped out."
"...Wow. So, can that knife kill the Six Paths of Impermanence?"
Zhou Pan frowned and looked at Dai Luan with a complicated expression.
"What are you thinking about in your little head all day long?"
"Anything, just ask..."
Shanhai just drove him away.
It was he who urged them to go to bed early, and it was he who lingered on leaving them unable to rest. What an old fox who does whatever he wants.
The next day, they got up early as promised, but of course they didn't see Zhou Pan, so they might have already gone to the scene. They took the time to pack their things and hurried over. Even so, they arrived at the stone wall gate.
, the crowd is still Wuyang Wuyang. After queuing for a long time, they finally arrived. Dai Luan took a special look at the people checking the tickets. There were two people, but neither of them was the sloppy uncle.
But she didn't look for long - the uncle with the stubble was there, lazily maintaining order.
The description that it was really like a boat inside was consistent with Shan Hai's speculation. There was nothing wrong with it, and no one could see any clues. Shan Hai said that although he didn't know what method the people inside used to suppress the magical instruments arranged there.
Although Pin is hidden, he can clearly sense that there is an indescribable force here. The layout here is also very particular, even the resting pavilion has hidden mysteries, and everything strictly follows the principles of the Five Elements and Bagua.
Naturally, this restriction is lifted once inside the venue. There are two walls, one is the outermost one, which is very high; the other is the center area where the monsters really fight, and there should be a place to imprison them.
Although Dai Luan couldn't see them and didn't know where they were, she could always hear the faint screams. It was still daytime, but she shuddered. She held on to Mu Wan's clothes tightly, not daring to leave them even half a step away.
The wall inside is a column with a ceiling to cap it. The wall doesn't look high, but the inside sinks a lot, and the combined height is almost the same as the outer layer. They found a seat slightly forward to sit.
At this time, Lin Shanhai said again that underground water was actually flowing beneath the entire arena.
"how do you know?"
"The humidity is very heavy. I have seen metal, wood, fire and earth outside, but there is no water, so I expected it to be in this place. Besides, you see, there is a lot of people here, and the yang energy is very strong, so it must be yin."
Water is used to neutralize it to prevent too many spectators from affecting the performance of the fighting beasts. Only in the center of this depression can their power be fully exerted. Look carefully at the outer circle, and there are many colored lines painted on it, which are all mixed with water.
Mixed with something special.”
It is really as sophisticated as a prison where criminals are imprisoned, so sophisticated that even humans feel scared.
Of course, it’s limited to them. Those people who were shouting before the game started naturally knew nothing about it. Judging by their faces and dress, there were locals and outsiders; there were people with half-cloth, and there were also high-ranking officials with generous salaries.
There is no special expensive away stadium here, it is a mixed bag of good and bad people, and it is very lively.
"Human beings are really noisy."
Zhou Pan appeared behind them at some point, slightly taller. Mu Wan asked him, have you found that person?
"Not yet. I'm not even sure who it is. But if we wait here, that person will show up."
"Are you so sure?"
"I am sure."
"I hope..." Mu Wan whispered, "I just want to leave this ghost place as soon as possible."
"I don't like it here either..." Dai Luan shouted, "There are too many people and it's too noisy, but it looks lively, but for some reason it's freezing cold."
"Do you feel cold?"
Zhou Pan, who was directly behind Dai Luan, patted her shoulder, and she suddenly felt that she was no longer cold. So she stretched out her hand, grabbed a handful of Zhou Pan's shoulders that had just touched her, and touched a layer of very light and soft
Tulle. It has no color and makes people unable to feel its weight. Aluan was surprised and asked what it was.
"You feel cold because your constitution is too yin. People around you don't feel it. You are the only one who is cold. You must be affected by the evil spirit. This gauze is sewn with the wings of the evil cicada, which can separate people from the outside world.
.”
"Oh... like this."
"But..." Shan Hai had some doubts, "I remember that it is also an extremely yin thing. Why can it be so effective?"
Zhou Pan smiled.
"You chopped firewood in the dead of winter and washed your hands with cold water when you got home. Don't you think the water is warm? It's just relatively speaking. There are indeed some bad things here for this child's fate.
It's beyond the limit of what she can bear. But apart from these evil spirits and yin energy, its own bit of chill is nothing."
Lin Shanhai was thoughtful and stopped talking.
It is said that when they sold tickets here in the past, they would also tell you what kind of monsters were fighting so that you could place your bets. If you didn’t tell them, everyone would know that someone was coming to "pick trouble". Those kind of tickets were called "empty tickets."
.As a result, the tickets were sold out, and various versions were circulated in the streets and alleys. Everyone speculated about where it came from and what kind of person it was. However, there were too many "empty tickets" in the past two years.
, most of them are gimmicks. When you enter the venue, you realize that no warriors have come forward. They still randomly bring in two monsters and let you place your bets only after they arrive on the field. People who don’t know how to do it will be confused about the shikigami and monsters of the East and West families.
We don’t understand enough, and there is no atmosphere of arguing loudly or discussing in low voices. Over time, this kind of behavior does not interest people so much. This is also the main reason why Tanghuan County is still empty of 200 yuan - it cannot do business.
.
"If you have shikigami you don't need, you can sell them to them, and you can get a good price." Zhou Pan said the news he had learned in the past few days. Mu Wan frowned and sneered at this.
"I wonder how heartless a master would be to do such a thing."
"This is all money, girl." Zhou Pan replied to her, "People can even sell their wives and children for money, let alone shikigami. The only difference is that the price of monsters is higher. They also charge high prices to capture them from the wilderness.
The monsters that arrived...ah, it's begun."
The crowd became more noisy, and Zhou Pan didn't need to raise his finger. The three of them turned their heads and looked at the field below. The people at the edge were still chattering about something, but their voices were not loud, and they were all heard by the crowd.
The noise was drowned out. Perhaps most of the guests here already knew what they were talking about. Then, the iron doors on the edge of the stands on both sides were raised like a guillotine's knife, making a harsh friction sound.
The two metal railing doors were lifted up, and the low roar like a beast gradually became clearer. People closed their mouths and stared at the venue with some expectation, without blinking their glasses.
After the two men came on stage, the stands were filled with boos and boos.
"...I think this is an ordinary animal." Mu Wan frowned and looked at it for a long time.
"I also think... it's just that the orangutan is a little bigger and the wild boar's tusks are a little longer. Although the tusks are a bit unique, some are too curled and should not be suitable for fighting." Dai Luan also said.
"I can't feel any demonic energy from them." Shan Hai turned around and glanced at Zhou Pan, "It feels like they are just catching wild beasts from the mountains and making money under the guise of fighting demons."
