Chapter 160: Beijing Suburb Funeral Palace (5)

'ah--! ! ! ’

An extremely distorted and harsh roar exploded in the ears of the devil merchant and Wei Xun, accompanied by a noise like the sound of rustling paper, making people's brains buzz.

The giant paper man burning with golden red flames disappeared, and even the paper shell outside the minibus was burned away. The air was not only filled with the thick smoke of burnt paper, but also mixed with the smell of rancid meat being grilled. The smell of grease. The blackened burnt marks are still stuck to the outer wall of the car, like balls of burnt and carbonized grease, with dirty gray-white paper ash still stuck to them.

[Hey, you have offended Qianjiazhi and gained Qianjiazhi’s hostility! 】

[Hey, you hurt Qianjiazhi and gained Qianjiazhi’s appreciation! 】

Different hotel prompts sounded in the minds of the devil merchant and Wei Xun. The devil businessman who was still watching Wei Xun came back to his senses instantly, his face changed slightly, and Wei Xun was also startled.

This giant paper man was originally called Qianjia Paper, but why would he be ‘appreciated’ if he hurt it?

Is it related to the team leader’s assessment tendency, or is it related to Qianjiazhi’s ultimate goal?

As long as he deceives the devil merchant, it will be clear whether Qianjiazhi's "appreciation" is also obtained.

Wei Xun's mind was spinning rapidly. On the surface, he took back the tour guide flag with a smile, and in front of the entire minibus passengers and the devil businessman, he breathed a sigh of relief and blew out the flames burning on the golden and red feathers.

"Sure enough, you have to use fire to deal with the paper figures."

"Bang!"

The minibus made a lurch, and the body of the minibus, which had almost rolled over, slowly returned to its right position. During the process, the body of the minibus made a heart-wrenching squeaking sound. The car was shaking violently, as if it would fall apart at any time.

"boom!"

The minibus came over and continued to move forward again.

There was silence in the minibus. No one could have imagined that these two C-level tour guides could actually resolve a crisis of this level!

And that golden-red flame——

"Thanks to you, I hurt the paper man's soul."

When everyone's eyes fell on Wei Xun, Wei Xun turned his head and looked at the devil merchant, and glanced thoughtfully at his tour guide flag that was stained gray and white by paper.

"Your flames are powerful too."

The devil merchant said calmly, nodded reservedly, and quietly put away the guide flag. The two tour guides ignored the different looks from the tourists and began to compliment each other.

Obviously, they are trying to establish their authority.

But no one interrupted them to establish their authority now, and the passengers were all shocked and disbelieving in their own way.

"Hey, Xiaotian, have you seen it?"

Taoist Ban Ming lowered his voice and said to Bai Xiaotian with rare excitement: "That flame, look at that flame, did I miss it? It seems to be phoenix fire?"

"Xiaotian, what did your paper man say?"

"It's Phoenix Fire."

Bai Xiaotian also rarely changed his expression. He lowered his head and wiped his eyes, and a small bulge appeared in the collar of his Taoist robe. Then a small paper man crawled out of the collar in shock, crying (paper scraps). Half of its body was slightly charred, as if it had been burned by flames.

"Sure enough, the paper man who can set you on fire from a distance is the Phoenix Fire!"

"It's incredible. This Bing 250 is really well prepared. Look at what he did when he got in the car before and look at it now. He's ready for both fire and water, cough, cough, cough, cough."

Taoist Ban Ming spoke too quickly, and suddenly he had a heartbreaking cough. The cough made his face even paler, but he still couldn't hide his cheerful expression: "The paper man has to scold me when he sees it. He really doesn't have martial ethics." "

Bai Xiaotian tried to interrupt: "Deputy leader, let me tell you-"

"Don't interrupt, listen to me. Did you hear who Bing250 said just now?"

Taoist Ban Ming lowered his voice mysteriously: "An Xuefeng, he just said An Xuefeng! Look at how stupid Zhou Xiyang is! Infinite Heavenly Lord, there are many people here who have fire and water skills, but they can kill him in one go All the paper outside was burned, and it’s definitely not a mortal thing. I guess he either has An Xuefeng’s phoenix feathers in his hand, or An Xuefeng found him Qi Lecheng’s golden crow feathers!”

"Deputy Corps——"

"No, no, no, the golden-red flames are definitely phoenix feathers. Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, he didn't have any means to activate the feathers, he just stabbed them out flatly. The flames were the protector of phoenix fire who automatically counterattacked! Xiaotian, You know what this means!"

The more excited he became, the lower his voice became. It was almost a whisper, and only the two of them could hear it.

"Phoenix Fire Protector, who dares to call himself An Xuefeng's master? A new tour guide can let the Dream Chaser and Shepherd Alliance work together to protect him. Is it just because he is the pioneer of the 30th North Latitude? A token of the journey to the 30th North Latitude?”

At the end of the sentence, Taoist Ban Ming only made a mouth gesture.

‘Connect Tour Guide’

This Bing250 is most likely An Xuefeng's contact tour guide!

Everyone knows that this team has never had a tour guide on the way back, not only openly but also privately. To be honest, the reason why people in the high-level elite circle feel that Homecoming is almost over is not only because Homecoming has not been able to add new people in the past few years, but also because there is no tour guide for this brigade!

Anyone who has been to the 30th parallel north latitude journey clearly understands how important a tour guide is to a brigade. Fortunately for middle- and lower-class travelers, the caravan traveling to the 30th parallel north must have a tour guide. Only the way back is an outlier!

The members of the Return Team have not gone crazy yet. First, they are strong. Second, their leader An Xuefeng is too strong and can bear some of the mental pollution. But An Xuefeng's condition is getting worse day by day, which is also a fact that they all know secretly.

Half-life Taoist knows more, because they are the Maoshan Sect that controls zombies, and they are rare tourists who don't need a tour guide to relieve them. It can even be said that the more mental pollution there is, the stronger the strength of the cooperation between him and Yu Xiangyang will be.

The price is that Yu Xiangyang has become less and less human in the past two years, and his appearance has gradually become wild. And he, Half-life Taoist, is a little weak and usually unlucky.

But it is incredible that he will not be affected by mental pollution even without a tour guide to relieve him! Half-life Taoist is the leader of the corpse control flow. The two teams of Return Team have a good relationship. He occasionally heard An Xuefeng chatting with their Wan team. Mao Xiaole of Return Team communicated with him a lot in the past few years, just to learn his corpse control methods.

They all want their passengers to take other wild ways to eliminate the influence of mental pollution. At that time, the Taoist Half Life guessed that it was probably true that An Xuefeng could not connect with the tour guide.

If the leader of the brigade could not connect with the tour guide, then the entire brigade could not connect with the tour guide.

But now it seems...

"Captain An, he is really cruel."

The Taoist Half Life sighed, looking at Zhou Xiyang, who was confused and even a little at a loss, with a hint of sympathy in his tone.

Things are getting serious.

If Bing 250 is really An Xuefeng's tour guide, then it is very likely that he is the only life-saving straw for the return journey in the past ten years!

My goodness, how could An Xuefeng bear to let such a precious thing come in this extremely dangerous journey.

Those who have sealed their strength and sneaked in, and can think of killing Bing 250 to seize the treasure, are probably either the forces behind them are not too afraid of the return journey, or the West District where the emperor is far away. Killing Bing 250 now can not only take the token of the 30th degree north latitude, but also kill the most likely only tour guide on the return journey!

"Zhou Xiyang must be crazy."

The Taoist Half Life sighed.

He has to risk his life to protect Bing 250!

However, the situation is not that bad. Not many people know that An Xuefeng has the phoenix-bird beast form. Even if they hear Bing 250 say "An Xuefeng", they may not guess in which direction. After all, the dream chasers have said that they will protect Bing 250.

"Let's go back, Bao may have to help."

The Half-Life Taoist patted Bai Xiaotian on the shoulder: "Your paper figure is the same as Mao Xiaole's paper figure, and it is considered the child of his paper figure. You have also received his kindness and must repay him."

Mao Xiaole did not come to communicate in vain. He is good at controlling paper and temporarily left one of his own natal paper figures in the metaphysical brigade for people to observe. As a result, when he left, although the Half-Life Taoist taught him without reservation, Mao Xiaole was suspicious and rebellious by nature, and refused to absolutely trust others. He could not raise a natal zombie with a telepathic connection, so he could not learn the essence of the Half-Life Taoist's corpse control.

But his paper figures were figured out by many Taoists of metaphysics.

An Xuefeng and Mao Xiaole didn't care, saying that this was his fate, but they had learned Mao Xiaole's core paper figurine skills from Xuanxue Laoshan, and they always felt a little indebted.

This time, the tour guide who was suspected to be returning came in, and they might have to protect him.

"Deputy leader, are you sure he needs our protection?"

Bai Xiaotian questioned in a flat tone: "He protected us just now."

"I suspect you are arguing with me."

Banming Daoist snorted angrily: "After all, his strength level is still a little weaker... cough cough, I'm too lazy to bother with you. By the way, what did you want to say just now? Have you paid the paper money?"

Bai Xiaotian wanted to interrupt him several times just now, so he must have something to say.

"I have handed it over."

Bai Xiaotian said, "It's real money."

The Half-Life Taoist said cautiously, "No surprise?"

"No surprise."

"That's good, no wonder I can't feel the bad luck on you."

The Half-Life Taoist said happily, then puzzled: "What do you want to say?"

"Just now, when Bing 250 and the devil merchant used the guide flag to drive away the paper monsters. The assassin brought by Bing 250 took away the two paper figures."

Bai Xiaotian said expressionlessly, "Including the paper money we just handed in."

"What?!"

Crack.

The Half-Life Taoist shuddered and broke the fingers of the zombie arm in his hand.

"Bing 250... No wonder it is an existence that Master Yin Yang Butterfly attaches great importance to."

When the Half-Life Taoist and Bai Xiaotian whispered to each other, Yun Lianghan was also scared, but not because of Bing 250's flames that burned the outer paper shell.

He saw that the assassin took the opportunity to take away two special five-star paper figures!

The assassin's movements were as easy as picking up rabbit ears, and the two special five-star paper figures were directly carried away by him!

Although Yun Lianghan saw that the two paper figures were in a strange state and did not resist at all, this also showed that either the assassin had done something, or he realized that the special five-star paper figures were different, so he took the opportunity to attack.

And just now, the assassin had just killed "him" once. The assassin really tried to kill Yun Lianghan, and he was even more impressed by this.

Terrible.

A chill ran up Yun Lianghan's back, and he felt dread and fear after realizing it.

The strength of this assassin was far more terrible than he had imagined!

In fact, before setting off, Yun Lianghan felt that his strength was not bad in this journey. Although on the surface he was a special two-star, in fact he was deliberately stuck, and he was only a little short of the special three-star.

And his title is special, it is a complete set of matching titles, and when used together, it is even comparable to a gold title. Yun Lianghan has also assassinated high-level passengers and tour guides. He even killed a special five-star passenger at the cost of serious injuries!

So he thought that assassinating Bing 250 was a simple matter.

Even if Yun Lianghan was thinking just now, with his own strength, there would be no problem in being a lone wolf in this team waiting for an opportunity.

But now, Yun Lianghan has a sense of crisis.

Yun Tianhe is his best choice.

"Yun Tianhe, let's cooperate."

Yun Lianghan whispered seriously: "I don't want to find people from the West District, and you don't have an organization. The two of us form a temporary alliance to survive better on the journey..."

"You also think that our East District tour guide is more powerful!"

Yun Lianghan:? What did I mean by this?

Yun Tianhe's cheeks flushed, his eyes sparkled, he looked at Wei Xun in admiration, and he kept talking in a tone that sounded very fanatical and excited:

"Guides are all great shepherds, we should respect them equally, but we are from the East District after all, and sure enough, I still prefer our East District guides, Lord, I hope you can forgive me."

He prayed for a while, Yun Lianghan endured and listened a little, but he was fed up.

What tour guide will protect us, just like a shepherd protects a lamb, even if the tour guide seems to be of low rank, the real strength is also strong, and we must never be contemptuous.

What tour guide will eventually protect us. Just like God blesses his people, we should also devote everything to the tour guide as devoutly as we believe in God.

Yun Tianhe is a crazy person.

Yun Lianghan was sure, he simply didn't understand Yun Tianhe's brain circuit! This person obviously saw the assassin snatch the two paper figures. Yun Lianghan thought that this was the guide showing off their power, but Yun Tianhe thought that they handed over paper money to the guide, so the guide was protecting them!

Look, without paper money, you can't buy off the paper figures and can't get off the bus.

The great tour guide directly took the paper figures away, allowing all the passengers on the bus to get off safely!

What reason do the passengers have, not to be grateful to the tour guide!

"I heard that the tourists raised by the Shepherds' Alliance are different."

Yun Lianghan heard someone muttering next to him.

"My old swan is really good at making excuses for himself in the guide's behavior towards the tourists."

Yun Lianghan glared at the other person, and the silver-gray-haired boy made a face at him. Yun Lianghan felt the gazes of others, and Yun Tianhe beside him was still praising the tour guide. He was not embarrassed, but Yun Lianghan's face was burning, and a feeling of frustration and anger filled his heart.

Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't cooperate! Yun Lianghan was about to walk aside with a gloomy face, wanting to stay away from Yun Tianhe and draw a clear line between him and this person.

"I think you are right. One person is weak and alone. We should consider a temporary alliance."

But Yun Tianhe's words made Yun Lianghan turn back.

Yes, cooperation is necessary. After all, he and Yun Tianhe are both single-person families, and there is a high possibility that they will be arranged to live together when staying.

It is better to form an alliance early. Anyway, before finding out the true strength of the assassin, Yun Lianghan does not plan to take action against Bing 250 again for the time being, and there is no big conflict between him and Yun Tianhe.

"Yeah."

Yun Lianghan still felt that it was a bit embarrassing to stand with Yun Tianhe, and only replied with a reserved "Yeah". Yun Tianhe is a special three-star after all, and he is a passenger who can open the seat by himself with props. It is definitely not a loss to cooperate with him.

But the next second, Yun Lianghan regretted it.

"You think so too, right? Our iCuidao group should take the initiative to protect the interests of tour guides!"

What iCuidao group?

Yun Lianghan was at a loss, and then he heard Yun Tianhe say seriously:

"The first thing we have to do is to get back the paper money that belongs to Director Bing."

The paper money in the hands of the passengers should be handed over to the two special five-star paper men.

Bing 250's men caught the two special paper men.

So the paper money in the hands of the passengers should be handed over to Bing 250.

These people didn't hand it over because they haven't thought about it yet. They, the iCui Dao team, have the responsibility to remind them and help Bing 250 recover the paper money.

"I don't know when I will be qualified to call him Cui Dao."

Yun Tianhe said hesitantly with full of expectations, and drew a cross on his chest.

"Cui Men."

When Yun Lianghan struggled to sort out Yun Tianhe's thoughts, he felt bad.

Master Yin Yang Die, you are right.

After being in disbelief and irritability, Yun Lianghan was a little depressed.

This journey is really difficult.

"This additional function is good."

After confirming that Yu Hehui successfully captured the two paper figures, Wei Xun stood beside the devil merchant, and the two of them looked at each other's brooches.

The additional function on the devil merchant's tour guide brooch is "outsider".

[Tour Guide Brooch (Silver Level 3, 4 Stars): Additional Function "Outsider"]

[This city is very enthusiastic about guests from outside. When you encounter difficulties, the "elderly" in the city will help you enthusiastically - but be careful, whether you and your team are qualified to get their help, you still need to go through a small test]

“It’s not an additional cooperative function, it’s complementary.”

The devil businessman frowned. The two titles "Old Beijing" and "foreigner" were actually contradictory to each other.

‘Only the same ‘old Beijing’ can be accepted by the old people in this city’

‘Outsiders can get help from ‘old people’ in the city’

It can be said that it is impossible for foreigners and old Beijing to exist at the same time.

But the advantage is that they are more flexible through this journey through the functions of the brooch.

For example, when we are on the minibus now, it is Wei Xun's brooch "Old Beijing" that works.

Later, if you encounter an "old man" making things difficult for you, or encounter a problem, you can use the additional function of the "Devil Merchant" brooch.

“It looks like we’re going to be working closely together on this journey.”

The devil merchant handed the brooch to Wei Xun and extended his hand to him like a gentleman: "Xiao Cui."

He was speaking, but his eyes swept over the figure of the woman who was also wearing a light blue cloak standing behind Wei Xun. He said with profound meaning, "Your puppet is very good."

"I think my puppet is pretty good too."

Wei Xun shook hands with the devil merchant, and they were separated at the first touch.

"We're almost at the station and you haven't finished taking the roll yet. I should also check on the passengers."

"Um."

The Devil Merchant looked at him deeply and continued to call the names. This time no one was interrupting, and everyone cooperated in the roll call.

There were ten tourists in total. On October 10th, Yun Tianhe and Yun Lianghan were all from a single family.

Half-life Taoist Cen Qin and Bai Xiaotian, Zhou Xiyang and Mei Keer from the Crimson Brigade are two families.

The remaining three West Enders are a family of three.

"We will stay in the Leigu Hutong special courtyard hotel, which only provides two-person rooms and three-person family rooms."

The devil businessman reminded him businesslikely: "If solo travelers know each other and are willing to live together, they can register with me. If not, they will be randomly assigned."

"Both of us together."

Yun Lianghan raised his hand impatiently, but in fact, the pace he walked towards the Devil Merchant revealed a vague impatient energy - he really didn't want to stand with Yun Tianhe and beg for money from Bing250!

"good."

The devil businessman then looked at October 10th: "Ms. October 10th, which two-person family do you want to share a room with..."

"I only live with women."

October 10 interrupted him and said coldly. She was dressed in smart clothes and a hat, and the hanging black gauze covered her face, but her beauty and coldness could still be vaguely seen.

"Man, it affects the speed at which I draw my sword."

Hearing what she said, Zhou Xiyang and others all smiled helplessly. Taoist Ban Ming whispered, "You have an umbrella in your scabbard, how can you say you are drawing a sword?" but he did not dare to say it loudly.

Although October 10th is mysterious and low-key in the East District, it is also quite famous. It is said that every time she is in the brigade, several men will die. I don’t know if it is true or not.

"this……"

The Devil Merchant subconsciously glanced at the assassin following Bing250, and then looked toward the travelers in the West District with a gesture of approval:

"There are only two ladies in the brigade. You need to ask Miss Rosalind's opinion."

"I have no problem."

A gentle and melodious female voice rang out. She also spoke Chinese, her articulation was very clear, like a lark singing. Rosalind is the youngest of the three West Enders, with snow-white skin and deep amber eyes. Her long brown curly hair was tied up, and the smoky gray wolf ears between her hair were very soft, adding to her gentleness.

"Mia——"

The other black-haired West Ender, who had remained silent and looked a little cold and lonely, frowned. He also had a pair of amber eyes, but looked sharp and cold against the black hair.

But when Rosalin clapped her hands, the man stopped making any sound.

Mia Rosalind, Olena Rosalind.

The werewolf siblings are respectively one-star and two-star special.

"Mia can go if she wants."

The strong man with red hair and green eyes laughed, but he easily tore off the sticky paper shell with one hand!

"We werewolves are not someone to be trifled with."

Augustus, the most powerful three-star werewolf, is obviously the leader of the western region of his brigade.

"The big guy outside the car window just now...I saw it."

After he said these words, the expressions of several people in the car suddenly changed, and even the devil merchant frowned.

Wei Xun looked back at him.

Werewolf Augustus.

Wei Xun took note of it.

Wei Xun had been thinking before that the giant paper man outside the car window should not only be seen by people like him who took the team leader's assessment.

If that was the case, and the giant paper man was only targeting him, it wouldn't be considered a team leader assessment.

When it comes to leading a tour, in the final analysis, the ultimate test is the tour guide’s ability to lead the tour. Can he lead the brigade to exert extraordinary power and defeat monsters that exceed the personal strength of the passengers?

Therefore, if Wei Xun finally chooses Zhanshi Zhizha as the team leader's mission tendency, then he should be the one leading the passengers to complete the giant paper man challenge in the end.

So there are two possibilities for passengers not being able to see the giant paper figures.

The first is that Wei Xun has not completely determined the mission direction, and the team leader assessment has not officially begun.

The second is that some people are too weak in comparison, so they cannot be seen.

Just like Half Life Taoist and the others.

Only travelers who are strong enough can truly notice the giant paper man.

As an indescribable monster, of course not everyone can perceive it.

The stronger one is, the more mentally polluted one will be. The weaker one will not be attacked mentally because they cannot see it at all.

If the werewolf Augustus really realized the giant paper man outside the window, either he hid his strength or he had a special title.

"Thank you."

Bai Xiaotian nodded to Wei Xun, who had just torn off the paper shell that was stuck to him.

"It is also the duty of the tour guide to help tourists."

Wei Xun nodded. In the chaos just now, all the passengers had leaned out of the window to tear off the paper shell stuck on the outside of the minibus. They were more or less stained with dried pulp and paper scraps, looking like paper men.

These things stick very firmly like paint. It's okay on clothes, but the most terrible thing is that it sticks on the skin. It is almost fused with the skin, and it will be bloody if it is torn off.

The passengers on this bus are all experienced people, each with their own methods, and they are very skilled and methodical, so the tour guide doesn't have to worry about it at all.

Bai Xiaotian was a little slow in handling it. There were too many scraps of paper on his body, and some of them were still stuck to his skin. The scraps of paper stuck to him very tightly, and even with the help of the Half-Life Taoist, it was a bit overwhelmed.

After Wei Xun took action, the guide flag swept over, and the paper shells began to loosen, making it much easier to clean. When Wei Xun touched 'Bai Xiaotian', he could clearly feel that the mental pollution on the scraps of paper was desperately drilling into his body like a parasite, which is why the scraps of paper stuck so tightly.

But after Wei Xun and Bai Xiaotian came into contact, they easily cleared these mental pollutions. It was not just because of Wei Xun, but because of the perfect cooperation between 'Bai Xiaotian' and him. This was a very subtle feeling, different from entering An Xuefeng's mental illusion.

Not that close, but also as harmonious as water and milk. Wei Xun only played a guiding and comforting role, and Bai Xiaotian spontaneously crushed those spiritual pollutions.

Is this the spiritual connection with the returning team?

"Oh, Xiaotian, your strength is still a little lacking. I don't know how you have the courage to get into this journey."

The half-life Taoist nagging beside him, his tone was a little worried. The strength of the special one-star is the bottom of the team, and Bai Xiaotian is indeed not safe.

"It would be great if your brother Xiangyang was here, tsk, ahem, well, Cui Dao."

The half-life Taoist and Wei Xun got closer. For the tour guide, calling each other by title is undoubtedly a sign of closeness, and the tour guide was happy to hear it.

Before, calling Bing Dao seemed too polite and distant, and calling Erwuling alone seemed too stupid. When Wei Xun was communicating with the devil businessman, the half-life Taoist heard it and knew that Bing Erwuling should have a well-known title of "Xiao Cui".

But men definitely don't like the word "Xiao", and it sounds like calling a junior. The devilish businessman is not particular, but the Half-Life Taoist who wants to have a good relationship with Wei Xun is very particular.

He immediately changed his words and said to Wei Xun with a smile:

"Director Cui, ahem, if you want to sell those two paper figures, please consider me."

"Deputy group leader, no need..."

"Shut up."

The Half-Life Taoist pressed Bai Xiaotian's head and smiled at Wei Xun: "If you don't sell the whole thing, even the parts will do. I guarantee you will be satisfied with the price I offer."

Bai Xiaotian is a paper controller. If he can get the special five-star paper and melt it into his own paper figures, it can also enhance his strength.

"Okay, I will give you priority."

Wei Xun guessed who the Half-Life Taoist bought the paper for. He glanced at Bai Xiaotian and smiled:

"But I don't lack points."

"If you want to buy paper... you can exchange it for some information that I am interested in."

Suddenly, the minibus stopped.

"Leigu Hutong Station, here we are."

Amid the harsh creaking sound, the front and rear doors all opened, and a cold and damp vapor came in from the outside, mixed with a faint smell of decay.

[This journey is an extremely dangerous journey, please follow the guide closely and complete each scenic spot project on time! ]

This reminder sounded again, especially on the "on time", it seemed to be emphasized.

The passengers had different expressions, all of which were remembered in their hearts.

"Let's go."

Take a deep breath, the devil merchant took the guide flag and got off the car first, with a solemn expression. As the main tour guide, he had to contact the hotel to get the room card.

As the deputy guide, Wei Xun led the passengers to wait outside and explain some local customs.

"Travelers, you can wait in the car first, it's raining outside."

Wei Xun watched the devil merchant disappear in the deep alley, and then retracted his gaze. It was raining in the imperial capital at the end of September. The continuous autumn rain was not heavy, but it was very dense. If you don't hold an umbrella, you will get wet all over soon.

But the passengers did not stay on the bus, but all got off the bus and looked around. The confetti and snow that filled the sky before all disappeared, as if returning to reality from a dream. However, apart from them, there were no other pedestrians around the alley, and there was no sound of traffic in the distance, only the sound of rain.

Compared with the wildness of the snowy grasslands, the travel destination is in a prosperous city, and the scenes that can be seen in daily life will bring people deeper psychological pressure, and will make people subconsciously associate more terrifying and thrilling ancient legends and urban ghost stories.

"Legend has it that in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di wanted to build a capital city in this area. But this is the bitter sea of ​​Youzhou, where there live evil dragons that can overturn rivers and seas. Ordinary cities cannot suppress evil dragons and cannot take root here."

"So Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao made suggestions and worked together to design an 'Eight-Armed Nezha City' in Youzhou, Bitter Sea. Although it is a legend, the structure of this old Beijing city exactly fits the body of the Eight-Armed Nezha."

Wei Xun said: "Zhengyang Gate is Nezha's head. The two wells in Zhengyang Gate are Nezha's eyes*. The five internal organs we just passed are the center of the eight-armed Nezha's five internal organs. The ten entrances further ahead are The mouth of his esophagus - of course, these places can no longer be seen with the reconstruction of the generations. "

With the renovation, these places can no longer be seen, so what were the things they saw in the places they passed before?

The hazy sky cast a layer of darkness on the buildings, and the sound of the pattering rain seemed to return to the ancient capital. Even Wei Xun's voice became weird, like the distorted voice of the announcer on the radio.

"The north-south avenues on both sides of the Wu Zang Temple, taken together, are Nezha's spine, and those branches and alleys extending outward are Nezha's ribs."

Wei Xun was joking, but what he said was horrifying: "We are currently inside the right half of the eight-armed Nezha's body, and the place where we will live tonight happens to be one of his ribs."

Leigu Alley, Rib Alley. The cold wind blew by, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the buildings in front of them seemed to come alive, watching their arrival.

"The room card has been processed."

A quarter of an hour later, when Wei Xun had already begun to introduce to the tourists the must-eat mutton-shabu and sesame-sauce biscuits in this city, the devil merchant finally walked out of Leigu Alley. He remained calm and led the tourists into the alley with the guide flag, but Wei Xun keenly noticed that there were irregular tear marks on the hem of the devil merchant's cloak.

It was like being bitten by something.

The Leigu Hutong is very wide when you first walk through it, but the further you go in, the narrower it becomes, really like a rib. The Devil Merchant led the way, and Wei Xun was behind. His heart moved slightly. He subconsciously looked back, but he saw a short figure flashing past the entrance of the alley.

Like a kid running past.

But how could there be normal children in a place like this?

"This courtyard hotel is located in the quiet Leigu Hutong and has a history of more than 500 years."

Finally arriving at the destination, the devil merchant opened the street door and walked in first.

"This is a wish-fulfilling door."

Taoist Ban Ming and Bai Xiaotian fell behind the brigade and walked beside Wei Xun. Along the way, Ban Ming Taoist carefully looked at the surrounding environment, not sparing any grass or trees, and took photos and records from time to time. Naturally, the speed was slower.

"There is no Ruyi on the Ruyi gate."

There are many types of doors facing the street in courtyard houses. The one in front of you is the Ruyi Gate. However, there is no word "Ruyi" or the pattern of "Ruyi" carved on its door. Instead, there is a vague rectangular pattern.

This made Taoist Ban Ming's expression remain solemn.

It wasn't until he saw the door couplet carved on the door panel that he relaxed a little. In old courtyard houses, the more elegant door panels facing the street will have door couplets engraved on them. Most of them are couplets such as "loyalty will be passed down to the family for a long time, and poems and books will help the world for a long time."

But the door couplets engraved on the door panel in front of me are different.

Mia, the werewolf girl in the West District, also walked slowly. The camera in her hand looked more advanced than the one in the hand of Taoist Half-Life, and she took more and more detailed photos. Obviously, in the team there, she also does the work of collecting information. When she saw the door couplet, Mia's expression changed slightly, and she immediately put down the camera and stopped shooting.

"Hey Mia, you're too slow."

At this moment, the red-haired werewolf Augustus turned and walked back to the door. Mia walked too slowly and was the weakest one, but she was smart and had a deeper understanding of Chinese culture. Augustus immediately turned back to look for her without seeing her.

Noticing Mia's gaze, Augustus glanced at the door panel, showing a hint of surprise.

"There are also words engraved on this door? 'Wealth at first sight', 'Peace in the world'?"

Seeing the half-life Taoist with a long face standing next to him, he remembered that he had said before, "You stupid guy doesn't understand Chinese culture." Augustus sneered and said proudly: "'Making money' and 'peace', I know, in China That’s a pretty good idea.”

"It seems like you don't have to worry too much if you live here."

"puff."

Taoist Ban Ming couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, yes, yes, it's a very good idea."

Taoist Ban Ming said cheerfully: "It's so good that the seventh and eighth masters are guarding the door for us."

After saying that, he shook his head and led Bai Xiaotian into the door.

"Sigh! Little dwarf."

Augustus waved his fist at Taoist Half-Life's back, with some dissatisfaction and depression on his face: "What are you talking about? Did I say something wrong?"

"Augustus."

Mia sighed helplessly: "Making money at the first sight and peace in the world are the words on the official hat of black and white."

"Black and white are impermanent...you can be seen as the God of Death in China."

"With the threat of death, it is safe for us to live here. But at the same time, we are also equivalent to the 'souls' marked by death."

"We're definitely going to have trouble when we finally want to leave.
