Chapter 257 Dukou Town
Chen Lin felt as if he had passed through a layer of water, and then the hustle and bustle reached his ears.
The sight in front of him made him stay in place, with a look of shock on his face.
After a while, he looked back with a strange look on his face. The ancient bridge had disappeared, replaced by bustling streets.
On both sides of the road are antique buildings, various types of vendors, and pedestrians coming and going. Everything is very different from the gloomy environment just now, as if returning from hell to the world.
Is this coming out?
Chen Lin was still a little unbelievable, it seemed too easy.
I let go of my spiritual sense to investigate, and determined that they are all living people, and they are all mortals.
This made him feel slightly relieved.
But he still remained vigilant. After all, in the space where countless independent cabins were gathered, the ghosts that appeared were all the same as living people, and it was impossible to distinguish between true and false.
He moved forward cautiously, checking carefully as he went.
After walking for a while and feeling that there was nothing unusual about it, he grabbed a young man who looked like a scholar and said, "Master, may I ask where this is?"
The scholar looked at it. He glanced at it and said doubtfully: "Isn't the strong man a local? This is Dukou Town!"
Dukou Town?
Chen Lin nodded, cupped his hands and said, "I am indeed not a local. I'm sorry to bother you, sir. Do you know which big city is closer to this place?"
The scholar shook his head and said: "That's too far. This town is the largest city nearby. Where do the strong men come from?"
As he said that, he looked at Chen Lin with a scrutinizing look. It seems that Chen Lin is suspected to be a lawless person.
Chen Lin's expression changed, he looked at the other person and said: "I am from Guqiao Village."
The scholar showed a look of surprise and said: "Guqiao Village, I have heard of this place. , It seems that it is very unfair, and only a hero like a strong man can come out!"
After that, Chen Lin no longer doubted and left.
Chen Lin was stunned on the spot.
The other party actually knows Guqiao Village!
According to his understanding, Guqiao Village has been reduced to ghosts. It must have been a village that existed at least a hundred years ago. How could the people here know?
The only possibility is that this is still not the real outside, but part of a weird scene!
This thought made Chen Lin's heart sink. Just as he was about to ask someone else, he heard a familiar voice, "Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen is indeed extraordinary. He came here so quickly!"
Chen Lin suddenly turned around and saw Luo Ziwen looking at him with a smile.
Pub.
Elegant room on the second floor.
“This place is so weird, isn’t Fellow Daoist Luo afraid that the food and wine here are not real?”
Chen Lin sat opposite Luo Ziwen, watching the other party enjoying his meal, and couldn’t help but ask aloud.
Luo Ziwen laughed and said: "In this world, things are unreal and real, real and unreal, so why worry about it too much? Since you and I can appear here, it proves that there is a reason for its existence. Naturally, we can eat this food and wine, even if it is It’s fake, but it’s real to you and me at this time.”
Chen Lin shook his head and did not move his chopsticks randomly like the other party. He continued to ask: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Luo knows a lot about this place. Can you tell me something about it?"
He has now confirmed that he is still in the strange space and has not left, but only entered from the first stage. By the second stage, the other party had already arrived here, looking leisurely and contented. It was obvious at first glance that he had learned the inside story.
"Didn't you just know from the scholar's mouth that this is Dukou Town!"
Luo Ziwen drank a glass and said slowly. Seeing that Chen Lin was silent and looking at him, he smiled lightly and said: "Dukou Town, as its name suggests, is a ferry business, but what is ferried here is not goods and living people, but souls!"
< br>
“Soul ferry, the underworld?”
Chen Lin was shocked.
If it were an ordinary ghost, he might be able to kill it with the power of the Soul-Destroying Finger, but if it were the underworld, then his meager skills would mean nothing.
But the underworld only exists in legend. Although many stories are circulated, there are no classics recording who has actually entered it.
In other words, no one can come out alive after entering.
"Why, are you scared?"
Luo Ziwen glanced at him and teased: "It's useless to be scared. It's impossible to go back to the original place, right? "How many villages did you explore before you got here?"
"One."
Chen Lin didn't hide it.
If he wants to get information from the other party, he has to be more candid.
Luo Ziwen opened his mouth, and suddenly clasped his fists and said: "I admire you, Daoyou Chen is indeed the best among people. He dared to choose a wooden house for the first time, and he was able to find the key to the rules in the house and came here. I pride myself on being smart. It’s amazing, it took me three times to discover the secret, and I almost died inside.”
Chen Lin’s heart moved when he heard this, and it seemed that the other party’s way of leaving was different from his.
He said that you can't get out by killing all the ghosts inside. Those ghosts can't be killed by ordinary means, not even fake spirit treasures. It's impossible for everyone to have a soul-killing finger.
However, there was no need to say this out loud. Instead, he pretended to be angry and said: "It turns out that the grass huts and wooden huts there are of different levels. My fellow Taoist didn't tell me about this. It's so boring. ! ”
That's what he said, but Chen Lin secretly murmured in his heart. He remembered that the house where Fengrun woman lived seemed to be an earthen house, and the foundation below was made of bluestone.
If houses really have levels, this house must be higher than the wooden house.
At this time, Luo Ziwen said: "It's not my fault. When I met you, I was just suspicious, not sure. Naturally, I can't give you casual advice. It would be a sin if I misled you. Wait for me After entering the wooden house and finding out, I came here directly. It is impossible to go back to inform you."
Chen Lin did not care about this matter and continued to return to before. topic, and said: "Fellow Taoist Luo has been here for a few days, and he should have learned a lot of things. Can you talk to me about it?"
"This is no problem." Luo Ziwen nodded and said: " According to what I have learned these days, this place is indeed the same as the legendary underworld. Of course, this is just my guess, and it may just be an ancient ruin similar to the underworld.”
Having said this, he suddenly took out a jade talisman and activated it to form a small barrier, covering the two of them inside.
Then he continued to speak: "This town is similar to the space where you and I fell out of the teleportation before. The surroundings are closed, but there is a ferry, and there will be a ferry there every other month. The boat will pick up one person at a time."
"Pick up one person at a time?" Chen Lin frowned after hearing this, "Then how to determine where the person being picked up has gone. , After all, you and I are real living people. We want to go back to the original world, not to the underworld."
Luo Ziwen shook his head and said: "This is not clear yet, and this is all I know now. , and the time has not come yet, I haven’t seen what the ferry boat looks like, I will study it when I see it.”
Seeing the other party’s attitude, Chen Lin did not continue to ask.
He couldn't be sure whether the other party didn't want to say it, or he really didn't know, but the two of them were not familiar with each other, and the other party was stronger than him, so even if he didn't want to say it, he couldn't force it.
After saying a few more words, he said goodbye and left, going out to investigate on his own.
