Chapter 228: Funeral Palace in Suburban Beijing (53)

"Ghost, are you collecting death energy?"

The devil merchant who was collecting death energy was stunned, and looked back, only to see Xiao Cui looking at him with a smile.

"I'll help you."

Ghost? Why did he call me ghost instead of devil merchant?

The devil merchant was secretly delighted by this unexpected intimate name, but he was also suspicious and subconsciously raised his vigilance.

What is Xiao Cui planning? Who does he want to plot against? Me?

"No need."

The devil merchant stood up and smiled at Xiao Cui: "I have collected almost all."

"There are more than two hours before the next death energy riot."

Wei Xun went to the fourth floor of the underground palace after the death energy riot at twelve o'clock, and came back at a little after three o'clock. After the conversation, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

Wei Xun walked to his side and glanced at the place where the devil merchant had just stood. The riot of the giant dead spirit on the fourth floor of the underground palace had caused a lot of impact. Although this place is outside the underground palace, there is also a crack of dead air.

However, this crack is extremely small, not much thicker than an earthworm. Wei Xun doesn't believe that the devil merchant is collecting dead air here.

"Maybe the interval between riots will change."

The devil merchant glanced behind Xiao Cui, and Yu Hehui didn't follow. When the tour guides talk to each other, the tourists will naturally avoid it. But Yu Hehui has been protecting Xiao Cui closely, which is different from ordinary tourists. His absence means that Xiao Cui wants to tell him something private.

Thinking of this, the devil merchant's tone was more tentative:

"To be honest, the previous riot was a bit unusual."

"Yes."

Wei Xun said lightly: "After all, the Yinshan Ancestor is dead, and she has a lot of death energy."

"The Yinshan Ancestor is dead?!"

The devil merchant was shocked, and the real emotions revealed in an instant were captured by Wei Xun - he put the third generation of the gourd in the magic insect ball, and he could clearly see the devil merchant's joy value.

The joy value, which was originally fluctuating around 60, floated up by ten digits the moment he heard his words.

This was the most real first reaction. The devil merchant was happy, but not particularly excited, as if he had expected it, and was not as surprised as he showed!

"The Yinshan Ancestor is so strong, how did she die?"

The devil merchant frowned: "She is very strong, or the Yin Qi becomes a spirit, is she really dead?"

"Yes, she died with Mrs. Bai."

Wei Xun never likes to tell lies, especially in a hotel with all kinds of strange props and titles, lies are the most stupid and too easy to be exposed. He was telling the truth. The Yinshan Patriarch did die with Old Lady Bai. It depends on how others understand it.

"Died with Old Lady Bai..."

The devil merchant murmured, and his hand hidden under the cloak secretly rubbed the magic mirror.

Xiao Cui did not lie. With the magic mirror, the devil merchant could confirm that what he said was true.

'*￥% # * Magic Mirror' is the strongest item in the devil merchant's hand. It was once a legendary item. Even if it is now in a damaged state, it is still only one level lower and still at the 'amazing' level.

But in the past, the devil merchant was not strong enough to suppress the ghost monarch in the magic mirror, and could only use the function of 'luck divination'. The devil merchant can judge who is unlucky between him and Xiao Cui, and thus infer the current situation. But with this function, if the ghost monarch is used too much, there is a possibility that he will riot and escape.

But since joining the mutual aid association, krypton became a member, and randomly (hard krypton) got the rule [Members of the mutual aid association will gain more advantages in the confrontation and battle with the ancients! ], the devil merchant's life has embarked on a ride.

It is no longer difficult to suppress and communicate with the Ghost Monarch, and the training and breakthroughs between life and death in this journey also made the Devil Merchant stronger, and he was recognized by the Ghost Monarch and successfully obtained more permissions of the Magic Mirror.

[Avril's Divination Magic Mirror], this is the real name of the Magic Mirror. Avril was the Ghost Monarch's most beloved lover who eventually killed him. The first function of the "Divination Magic Mirror" is luck divination, which was also the only one that the Devil Merchant could use before.

The two new functions are both related to the Ghost Monarch.

The Ghost Monarch in the Magic Mirror has suffered from love. How much he loved, how much he hated after death, but in the long years, he was lonely and sealed in this magic mirror and sank to the bottom of the sea. Whether it was love or hate, no matter how much emotion he had, it would eventually fade and become an eternal scar.

This scar will not disappear, it will exist forever, and it has also become the function of the Magic Mirror.

The two new functions are both related to "love".

[Name: Avril's Divination Mirror (Broken)]

[Quality: Amazing]

[Function 1: Fortune Telling]

[Function 2: Sincerity]

[Function 3: Lies]

[Sincerity] allows the Devil Merchant to judge whether others are lying. The number of times it is used daily and the success rate are related to the relationship between him and the other party. The effect is the lowest for strangers and the highest for lovers.

If the other party is his "lover", the Devil Merchant can judge whether he is lying 100%, and it can be used five times a day.

[Lies] allows the Devil Merchant to lie to people. Like sincerity, the number of times "lies" are used and the success rate are related to the relationship between the Devil Merchant and the other party, but this time the effect is the opposite.

His success rate in lying to strangers is 100%, and it can be used three times a day, but the effect of lying to lovers is zero.

[Is your love for me true? ]

[My love for you is true. ]

Sincerity and lies, love and not love, are engraved in the depths of the ghost monarch's soul, and are questions that he is still interested in thinking about in the long years.

The two functions of sincerity and lies also make the magic mirror the core of the devil merchant's plan. Of course, if you encounter an enemy whose strength is several times greater than yours, the magic mirror is very likely to be ineffective against them. At this time, some special tricks are needed.

When the strength is highly unequal, the success rate will be greatly increased when it comes to lies about love and sincerity about love!

This is the hidden attribute of the magic mirror that the devil merchant has tried out, and it is also the "rule" it implies.

The ghost monarch was powerful and had a very high status during his lifetime, but he fell in love with a lover of humble origin. Their status and strength were once worlds apart, and it was love that made everything real.

Therefore, when the weak is against the strong, the success rate of lies and sincerity about love is terrifyingly high. The devil merchant used this hidden rule to deceive the two strong men with lies containing love elements, and thus tried out the news he wanted.

The Yinshan Patriarch and the White Old Lady died together, just as expected.

Wei Xun spoke skillfully. He did not lie, but made the devil merchant understand that Old Lady Bai and the Yinshan Patriarch were both hurt!

These two old demons have been fighting openly and secretly, and because of the deadly feud between Shan Weng, it is possible that both of them were hurt. Perhaps Xiao Cui also fanned the flames - and it seems that Xiao Cui might have finally got the bottom of it.

So... did Xiao Cui know something through these two people?

"It's a pity that Old Lady Bai died too suddenly. I wanted to ask her something."

Wei Xun sighed in a fake tone, with a depressed tone that he didn't want to say more, and then he observed that the devil merchant's joy value rose by ten points.

Xiao Cui was telling the truth.

"It's good that he died, otherwise they would have to toss around the scenic spot tonight."

The devil merchant suppressed his emotions and comforted him: "The blood dragon soul and the death dragon bones are still there. I don't know if the tourists have prepared the sacrifices. You have to be careful tonight."

Xiao Cui did not hide the news that she would be punished by the sky again tonight. However, the death energy of Xiaotangshan is now erupting, and the punishment tonight may be more fierce than that of Yangshou Town.

It's better to have a fiercer momentum.

Even if he is almost sure, the devil merchant still hopes that it will be smoother.

Zhi Kuikui hid too deep, and he might have to rely on Xiao Cui's punishment to achieve his goal.

* *

"I'll go see the coffin."

The devil merchant sighed: "The previous death energy riot had a huge impact. Now the death energy in the entire underground palace is much thicker."

The devil merchant was worried: "The death energy is so heavy, don't be struck by thunder tonight."

After chatting with the devil merchant for a few more words, seeing him leave with an excuse, Wei Xun didn't say anything more. The two returned to the underground palace together and separated again. Yu Hehui looked at Wei Xun and signaled with his eyes whether he should follow the devil businessman anymore.

Wei Xun shook his head and returned to his room. Wei Xun stretched out his hand. Yu Hehui understood and took out the notebook and handed it to Wei Xun.

Wei Xun had a notebook that he carried with him (with Yu Hehui). He had a divergent mind and was good at finding clues. Too much information mixed together would easily cause confusion. When he was free, he would do some sorting and summarizing and record it in the notebook. Compared with mobile phones, he was more accustomed to paper records.

This helped him think.

Regarding the devil businessman line, although most of it was his speculation so far and there was no actual evidence, Wei Xun became more and more convinced.

Because he knew that the devil businessman was not a person who could be content with the status quo.

The devil businessman's ambition, his pride, and his almost mysophobic view of freedom made him not give up because of his inferiority complex because Bing 250 performed too well, but he would do his best to catch up at all costs and shine his own light.

Moreover, this light will be won by his own hands, not by the Devourer, the Black Widow, or the big boss travelers in the West District.

So the devil merchant will definitely make his own way in this journey, and the series of roads including the underground palace, Nezha spirit, ginseng spirit, white deer, and spirit snake have all been walked through by Wei Xun.

Although the devil merchant can focus on Mr. Skinning, this is obviously not enough. Wei Xun also has the Ming Dynasty token, and Mr. Skinning is naturally in awe of the "big officials", and his natural momentum is weaker.

So the devil merchant will definitely choose a new path while taking care of Mr. Skinning.

[Grandpa Zhi]

Wei Xun wrote these three words on the notebook and circled them.

The devil merchant is a guide in the Taoist camp. It is difficult for him to use the old monsters in the underground palace, but there is a force that has a very low sense of existence since entering the underground palace. It has been almost completely ignored, but it should never be underestimated.

That is the core of their journey, the paper man funeral team, Grandpa Zhi.

Grandpa Zhi is extremely strong, there is no doubt about it. He had wiped out an entire brigade at Hengdian Scenic Spot, without even doing it himself. The brigade at Hengdian Scenic Spot before was the fourth-ranked brigade in the hostel, the elite of the Youdu Brigade, and its strength was definitely not weak. And now that Grandpa Zhi has made all preparations, he will only be stronger than before.

Can Grandpa Zhi discover the abnormality of Zhi Kuikui?

Zhi Kuikui is his granddaughter, and perhaps she is an important part of his plan, so the possibility of him discovering it is extremely high.

But Grandpa Zhi is now in the coffin and cannot take action. He must need someone to help him explore and deal with this matter.

Perhaps at this time, the devil businessman hit it off with him.

But Zhi Kuikui is too low-key, so low-key that she almost has no sense of existence. What if I test her without revealing my identity?

Constructing a chaos that will definitely involve her, so that Zhi Kuikui must come out - the old housekeeper of the Zhi family is the best choice.

"The devil businessman has props or titles that can "fabricate scandals" or spread lies."

Wei Xun sighed: "It's terrible."

The props that can affect such a strong man, if not a one-time one, are really very strong.

The first deception was aimed at Shan Weng. How the devil businessman contacted Shan Weng, who was desperately escaping and wanted to avenge his brother, is not known for the time being. Perhaps there are other people who help, or it may be the effect of one of his props. But he successfully made Shan Weng, who was eager to avenge Tai Sui, mistakenly believe that the old housekeeper of the Zhi family was very important to Bing 250.

Shan Weng himself was seriously injured. Even if he wanted to have a "fair duel" with Bing 250, it would definitely be a one-on-one duel. It is most appropriate to use the old housekeeper of the Zhi family to lure Bing 250 out.

Old Lady Bai's mistress escaped and kidnapped the old housekeeper of the Zhi family. Who would have thought that the devil merchant would do this?

But the devil merchant might not have thought that another disruptive Yinshan Patriarch would appear suddenly, causing Zhi Kuikui to hide again.

The Yinshan Patriarch is like a □□. If you want to see the truth under the smoke, you must first let the smoke dissipate.

The devil merchant handled it very well. Perhaps when the Yinshan Patriarch and Old Lady Bai fought, he thought of using Old Lady Bai to deal with the Yinshan Patriarch. But Old Lady Bai lost in that battle, and Old Lady Bai alone might not be able to defeat the Yinshan Patriarch.

During the rehearsal, the devil merchant saw Bing 250 being called to the front by Yinshan Patriarch.

If Bing 250 and Yinshan Patriarch joined forces, it would definitely interfere with his plan. But if Bing 250 and Old Lady Bai joined forces, they might be able to deal with Yinshan Patriarch.

Why did Wei Xun coincidentally meet the devil merchant at the entrance of the east side hall during the dead air riot after the rehearsal? Because no more dead spirits would emerge from that crack, Wei Xun went deeper into the east hall, which just created an opportunity for Old Lady Bai to take him away in the chaos?

Why did Old Lady Bai also mistakenly believe that the old housekeeper of the Zhi family was important to Bing 250, and used its whereabouts to threaten Bing 250 to cooperate with her to deal with the Yinshan Patriarch?

This should be the second time that the devil merchant made a move.

Moreover, the devil merchant believed that even if Bing 250 was not afraid of being threatened, as long as he heard the news about the whereabouts of the old housekeeper of the Zhi family, his curiosity would be very likely to drive him to cooperate with Old Lady Bai.

"It seems that he has great confidence in me."

Wei Xun smiled subtly, so after learning about the death of the Yinshan Patriarch, the devil merchant's emotions did not fluctuate too much. And his next test, "Is he really dead?", shows that he still cares about the death of the Yinshan Patriarch.

When Wei Xun deliberately said, "It's a pity, Old Lady Bai died too suddenly, I wanted to ask her something," the devil merchant's joy value rose by another ten points.

This just shows that he had contact with Old Lady Bai, and he didn't want Wei Xun to know about this contact. After a series of inferences, linked together, it comes down to the beginning, Wei Xun judged that the target of the devil businessman should be Zhi Kuikui.

The Yinshan Patriarch is gone, and the devil businessman wants to see the coffin and then observe Zhi Kuikui's movements.

After the death of the Yinshan Patriarch, Zhi Kuikui should have some reactions, which can confirm her abnormality.

Grandpa Zhi will not let people with ulterior motives stay around, and Zhi Kuikui will definitely be eliminated.

The devil businessman marked the dead and collected the dead air. Before leaving, he said, "The dead air is so heavy, don't be struck by the thunder tonight." This made Wei Xun think that he should take action tonight and use the thunder to eliminate Zhi Kuikui.

"Should, may, all are uncertain numbers."

Yu He Huineng followed Wei Xun's train of thought, he frowned: "There is no definitive evidence, it could be the devil businessman, or it could be someone else."

"In any case, Zhi Kuikui must die."

Wei Xun curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "No matter who it is for."

He killed the Yinshan Patriarch and offended the puppet master, so will Zhi Kuikui come to trouble him?

The other half of Shan Weng's body was touched by the Yinshan Patriarch, who knows if there will be any influence on the puppet line. If Zhi Kuikui is not dead, Wei Xun is worried about letting Tong Hege merge.

If the devil businessman takes action to eliminate Zhi Kuikui-that would be a great help. After killing the Yinshan Patriarch and testing her power, Wei Xun is not interested in dealing with another Zhi Kuikui.

He is not focusing on this.

"What paper and sunflower, brother, brother!"

A red shadow swooped into the underground palace during the conversation. Nezha Ling, who had been unwilling to go down to the ground, rarely entered the underground palace this time and landed on Wei Xun's shoulder. He jumped, unbelievable and expectant. He called out anxiously:

"Brother, how come you have the breath of dragon veins?"

"I need my brother to help me with this."

Yes, his focus now is first Tong Hege's revival, and second, the revival of dragon bones.

Wei Xun smiled and told what happened on the fifth floor of the underground palace.

* *

While Wei Xun and the devil businessman were busy with their own business, the underground palace was filled with an ominous death aura at this moment, and it seemed that a layer of ominous black fog was shrouded in the naked eye. But in this death aura and black fog, there was also a trace of fierce bloody aura.

"No wonder this blood and death can merge."

After listening to the story of the fifth floor of the underground palace told by the half-life Taoist, Zhou Xiyang took a deep breath with a complicated expression.

"You discovered it too, right? I knew you would discover it too."

The Taoist Half Life said as he walked towards the underground palace, going to find Bai Xiaotian: "Is Xiaotian okay?"

The Taoist Half Life was not there during the previous Yin Qi riot. Although Zhou Xiyang cut off the tentacles of the giant undead that were sticking out of the crack, he had no time to be distracted, and asked Augustus and others in the monster camp to throw a lot of blood food sacrifices into the cracks, so that it became what it is now.

But after the blood and qi emerged, Zhou Xiyang also keenly discovered the difference. This blood and death are not complementary, but there is a sense of mutual fusion and mutual restraint.

Blood and qi are essentially full of strong vitality. As the saying goes, blood-stained blades are not approached by gods and ghosts. After this blood and qi rose, it suppressed some of the death and also consumed some of it.

Although he did not know the changes in the fifth floor of the underground palace, and did not know the true identity and purpose of the blood dragon soul and the death dragon bone. But Zhou Xiyang had the decisiveness of an experienced traveler and did not miss any clues.

After he collected some dead air and blood air and put them together, and confirmed that blood air and dead air can really suppress and merge with each other, thus verifying his point of view, Zhou Xiyang activated the advanced task - the underground palace mystery.

[Why can blood air and dead air merge with each other? The death dragon bones collapsed and polluted Xiaotangshan. Is the rumor that the blood dragon soul escaped true or false? ]

[The underground palace is full of mysteries and unpredictable. Sacrifice more blood food to the cracks in the ground, and also sacrifice more dead air. When blood air and dead air reach a balance, perhaps you and your friends will be able to get in touch with more truths about the underground palace]

The task issued by the hotel is never to solve the puzzle directly. It tests the exploration ability, adventurous spirit, hard-core strength and some luck of the travelers. Only by going step by step can the truth be finally discovered.

Just like Wang Pengpai's previous travel experience when he was traveling in Xiangxi, it is said that during a journey, a male ghost who possessed a traveler asked the travelers for help to help him and his wife who committed suicide to marry in the underworld, so that the loving couple can be reunited in the underworld.

But as the exploration deepened, Wang Pengpai and others found that the male ghost was not right. It turned out that he was controlled by a weasel spirit. In those days, Huang Daxian abducted a virgin girl born in a yin month and yin time, forced her to be pregnant with an evil child, and planned to eat both of them to increase his power.

Although the girl's family invited the monks from the White Horse Temple to rescue the girl. Unfortunately, the girl couldn't stand the humiliation and hanged herself. But the weasel was still unwilling to die, and tried to eat the girl's soul again, but was watched by the monks of the White Horse Temple and had no way to start. So he controlled the male ghost and wanted to trick the travelers into calling back their souls.

So in the initial task of helping the male ghost to get married in the underworld, the monks of the White Horse Temple who had been obstructing them were like villains. But later it became a task of killing the weasel spirit, and the previously hostile monks of the White Horse Temple became helpers again.

The hotel task is just like this. Experienced travelers are used to keeping a watchful eye and will not believe everything the hotel says. Now Zhou Xiyang has received a new task, which obviously has a new mutation. There may be another secret between the blood dragon soul and the death dragon bone.

The task mentions "you and your friends". Obviously, this is a shared task. Zhou Xiyang can share the task with travelers in his own camp. In this way, if the monster camp does not find the confrontation between the dead energy and the Yin energy and does not proceed to this step, they will seize the initiative.

Confrontation requires thinking. Even if a reckless man who relies solely on brute force has the upper hand for a while, it is difficult to maintain it.

Zhou Xiyang is actually not very interested in further exploring this task. He just thinks that if the blood energy and the dead energy can merge with each other and eliminate the influence, then there is no need for the ginseng to be integrated into the earth, and tonight's performance should be able to proceed smoothly!

Tong Hege's resurrection has a glimmer of hope, not completely unsolvable, which has made Zhou Xiyang very satisfied.

"Advanced mission."

After returning to the underground palace, Zhou Xiyang shared the mission with Half-Life Taoist and Bai Xiaotian. When Half-Life Taoist was proudly telling Bai Xiaotian about his great achievements, Zhou Xiyang looked at Bai Xiaotian meaningfully, without saying much, and only said:

"Okay, there is another tough battle to fight tonight."

"I know, I know."

Half-Life Taoist did not even turn his head to respond. He was showing Bai Xiaotian his mobile phone with great interest.

"Did you see it? Do you know what this is?"

In the mobile phone photo, a tall tour guide wearing a crimson cloak took a selfie with Half-Life Taoist on his back, and Half-Life Taoist even made a "yeah" gesture.

This was taken by Wei Xun in cooperation with Half-Life Taoist - Half-Life Taoist carried him for so long along the way, and Wei Xun still met this small request.

"How is it."

Half-Life Taoist lowered his voice and coughed reservedly: "What do you think this looks like?"

Bai Xiaotian:.

Bai Xiaotian said expressionlessly: "Deputy group leader, this looks like your posthumous photo."
