Chapter 143: Soul Enchanting Gambling House
Jiang Ran doesn’t know much about formations, but he doesn’t need much.
Although the formation of this enchanted ghost wall is powerful, it is not anti-aircraft...
The two people simply didn't bother to break the formation, and flew directly into the air. In just two steps, they had jumped out of the range of the ghost wall.
It is estimated that the people who built this enchanted ghost wall did not expect anyone to break the formation in such a way.
After all, anyone who steps into this place will be fascinated by the patterns on the haunted wall and fall into an illusion that is both real and fake.
Even if they jumped, they couldn't get rid of the hallucination.
You will only feel that everything around you is weird and bizarre, and you will not be able to see the mountain.
The Creation Zhengxin Sutra practiced by Jiang Ran is the nemesis of this type of technique.
Therefore, the terrifying wall of obsessed ghosts in the world seemed a bit ridiculous in front of him.
After jumping out of the fascinating ghost wall, I walked along the road and before I knew it, I had entered the depths of the Ghost King's Palace.
Along the way, there was still no one around.
A sudden cry came out at this moment. The sound sounded familiar to me. It was the one that came from the eight-carrying sedan chair earlier.
Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing looked at each other and immediately followed the sound. A moment later, they saw a pale eight-carrying sedan in front of a building.
Four lanterns were still hung at the four corners, and cries and pleas for mercy came from the sedan.
But the people who were carrying the sedan chair and playing the gongs and drums all disappeared.
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment and slowly pulled Ruan Yuqing to the sedan.
He gently opened the sedan curtain with his scabbard.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I don't want to get into the frying pan!!"
A panicked voice suddenly came from the sedan.
Jiang Ran waved his hand, raised the sedan curtain, and hung it on the top of the sedan.
Looking over, he saw a woman wearing a white wedding dress, huddled in a sedan chair and shivering.
Her face was covered with snot and tears, which made the pale makeup on her face a mess.
"Girl, don't panic."
Ruan Yuqing said at this time:
"We are not evil people. We came across this sedan by chance on the road, so we came to investigate." When
the woman heard Ruan Yuqing's voice, she seemed to feel something in her heart. After calming down for a moment, he looked back and forth on the faces of Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing, and then cried and said:
"Help me, please help me!"
"Don't worry, girl, since we are here, of course we are here. I will save you."
Jiang Ran smiled:
"Get out of the sedan first."
"No...I don't want it!"
The woman shook her head quickly, with fear in her eyes:
"There are ghosts outside, all evil ghosts! !
"I heard they were escorting a living person, and they were going to put them in a frying pan..."
"Escorting a living person? Jiang
Ran's heart moved:
"When did you hear it?" "
" Just... not long before you guys came here. "
The woman whispered: "I heard it, that man couldn't stop yelling... saying that the young master will definitely find him, what... saying that when his young master arrives, he will definitely clean up this damn place. .
"It seems to be Luo Qingyi. " Ruan
Yuqing glanced at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran nodded slightly and said softly:
"Girl, the young master he is talking about is probably me." Does the girl know where they are going?
The woman hesitated, pointed in a direction and said:
"Over there..."
"Okay. " Jiang
Ran nodded: "If the girl doesn't dare to come out, just wait in this sedan." It's just that it's okay now, and everything is peaceful. But if you wait a little longer, nothing will necessarily happen.
"I will go rescue my friend then, and the girl has no one to protect her..." "
This..."
the woman hesitated for a while:
"Then I, come out... You guys, don't leave me alone. ."
"It's natural."
Jiang Ran smiled and said, "If the girl is with us, we will definitely protect you."
Hearing what Jiang Ran said, the woman reluctantly nodded and walked out of the sedan cautiously.
But she may have been greatly frightened. When she came out, her hands and feet were weak and she could hardly stand up.
Jiang Ran had no choice but to support her with the scabbard, letting her hold on to the scabbard and stand still.
After carefully observing the girl's appearance, Jiang Ran suddenly let go of Ruan Yuqing's hand.
Ruan Yuqing was stunned:
"What's wrong?"
"Isn't it enough to take advantage of you? This is no longer within the scope of the Wall of Obsessed Ghosts, and I shouldn't be fascinated by the illusion anymore.
"I am a yellow flower, and I always let you pull me like this. What's going on...if I look back and someone sees me, will I still get married? "
..."
Given Ruan Yuqing's temperament, when she heard these words, she wanted to step on his heel.
This person is so good at taking advantage of him.
But she still quite approves of Jiang Ran's judgment. Yes.
If the 'bride' in the sedan did not lie, Luo Qingyi should have been sane when she was escorted here.
And the girl herself did not seem to have been confused by hallucinations.
Then this place is probably safe.
Immediately He shook the hand that Jiang Ran had held for a long time, and looked at it with disgust:
"I can hardly keep this hand anymore.
"Then I'll chop it for you? " "
Jiang Ran grinned.
"...Why don't you cut your own? Ruan
Yuqing was angry.
Jiang Ran smiled: "I can't bear it." Ruan
Yuqing's face turned red when she told him, and she rolled her eyes at him:
"Why do you like talking nonsense so much?"
Jiang Ran: "? " ? ? "
The girl who came out of the sedan was a little confused when she heard them talking.
This place is very strange. Is it really okay for you to be so playful?
But it also made her feel at ease. It seemed that the place she was in was also... It was no longer so sinister.
After the girl got better, Jiang Ran led the two people in the direction she just said.
While walking, observe Ruan Yuqing's situation.
The origin of the 'bride' in the sedan has not yet been clarified, and Jiang Ran cannot completely believe what she says.
It is still necessary to carefully observe Ruan Yuqing's condition to avoid any surprises.
At the same time, he also asked about the origin of this girl.
According to her, she is a girl from an ordinary family in a nearby town.
The surname is Liu, and the name is Liu Xiao'e.
Before what happened, she was washing and resting as usual.
But he didn't expect that when he woke up after a long sleep, he found himself in a sedan chair.
The cramped environment, the clothes on her body, and the surrounding atmosphere immediately frightened her.
What's even worse is that at that moment, it was like there was something extremely heavy weighing on her body.
No matter what, I can't struggle.
It caused her to shout for help, scream and cry.
Unfortunately, this is of no use.
After she was carried here, she didn't know what happened because she didn't dare to look.
All she knew was that after those people put her down, they disappeared without a trace.
Speaking of this, she suddenly said:
"Speaking of which...the man who was yelling at the young master was not the only one being escorted by those evil spirits...
"It seems that there was also a group of evil ghosts who were also escorting someone, but that person didn't say a word. , I don’t know who it is specifically.
"At that time, I was so scared that I didn't dare to look outside."
Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing looked at each other, and then Ruan Yuqing asked:
"Where did these people... these evil ghosts go? ?"
"Yes, in this direction."
After Liu Xiao'e said this, Jiang Ran suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to a place in front.
Ruan Yuqing looked up and saw that the building in front of him was like the other buildings, with green lanterns hanging in front of the door.
It's just that the doors of ordinary buildings are closed, but in this one, the door is open.
Looking up, there was a big plaque hanging on it, with four big words: Soul Escape Gambling House!
When Jiang Ran saw it, the corner of his mouth raised slightly:
"It's quite interesting..."
"Don't be careless."
Ruan Yuqing reminded softly.
Jiang Ran nodded: "I'm here now, I have to go in and see the owner of the gambling house... I saw few people along the way. However, the gambling house looks peaceful, but there are a lot of people inside. ."
"Human?"
Liu Xiao'e asked softly, "Isn't it a ghost?"
"Where in the world do ghosts come from..."
Jiang Ran chuckled and walked towards the gambling house.
Ruan Yuqing and Liu Xiao'e followed closely behind.
After opening the curtain in front of the door, there were several steps going down. Sitting in front of the counter was a pale man with blush on his cheeks.
He was looking down at the account books. When he heard the movement, he was slightly startled. He looked up and his eyes widened:
"Why is there a stranger again?
"
"Capture this stranger quickly."
After saying this, he heard the sound of hula hula coming from the inner doors on both sides.
The 'evil ghosts' with their pale faces and red cheeks surged out.
He was holding either an iron hook or a steel fork in his hand, making a ferocious look and grinning ferociously:
"It's been a long time since I've eaten the heart and liver of a stranger. Today I can have a feast!" "
Why is there a bride next to you? "
Isn't that the concubine that Lord Jade is planning to take into his room? Why is she here?" "Did
this stranger take over her head?"
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows and glanced at the weapons in their hands.
I found that it was also engraved with gold inscriptions, just like the one on the wall of the Bewitched Ghost.
As their internal energy stirred up, there was a faint golden light coming out.
With a thought in mind, he turned to look at Ruan Yuqing, and sure enough he found that Ruan Yuqing's face was pale and the hand holding the sword was trembling.
There was a plop on the other end, and Liu Xiao'e sat directly on the ground.
There was extreme horror on his face.
He immediately sighed and reached out to hold Ruan Yuqing's hand. The inner breath of the Good Fortune Sutra turned, and the fear in Ruan Yuqing's eyes suddenly disappeared.
After looking at it carefully, he let out a long breath:
"Although I know that this may be fake... I still can't help but feel fear in my heart.
"What kind of skill did they use?
"If you want to know, just go back and capture the Ghost King and ask him. " "
When Jiang Ran said this, the face of the man sitting behind the counter changed slightly:
"Be careful, this guy is weird, he seems to have broken the Ghost King's 'Charming Order', take him down quickly! "
As he stretched out his hand, the 'evil ghosts' around him suddenly flew over.
The steel forks and iron hooks in his hands fell one after another.
Jiang Ran flew up with a kick. The 'evil ghost' who was the first to bear the brunt had not yet seen clearly what happened. The whole The 'ghost' had already been kicked to the roof by Jiang Ran. Half of his body penetrated the ceiling and was hanging on it, unable to get off.
Immediately after, Jiang Ran took action with his blade and slashed diagonally. With
a choking sound, the 'evil ghost' was still there. He wanted to use the iron hook in his hand to block it, but he didn't expect the sharp edge of the broken gold knife. The iron hook was split into two, and his whole body was also cut open. Half of his body slowly fell to the ground, and blood sprayed on the surrounding 'evil ghosts' One face after another.
Jiang Ran grinned:
"Which evil ghost can still bleed? This blood is still hot..."
After the words fell, he pulled Ruan Yuqing and rushed into the 'ghost group', slashing with the broken gold knife in his hand. With the golden color coming out, every time the sword fell, it was a 'ghost life'.
But as soon as I thought about it, three or five 'evil ghost' corpses had been dropped on the ground.
Looking up again, the surrounding 'evil ghosts' were holding weapons, fearful. Cowering, no one dared to move forward.
Jiang Ran smiled again:
"This evil ghost is also afraid of strangers? "
This..."
The man behind the counter would probably be pale even if his face wasn't covered in thick putty. He said tremblingly, "
You... you are so brave, in my ghost palace... ...Dare to kill people so wantonly.
"The Ghost King will not let you go!"
"Oh? Are you wrong?"
Jiang Ran smiled and said,
"When did I kill someone? Isn't the person I killed...a ghost?"
"I..."
The man was stunned, wishing he could give himself two big-eared posts.
Jiang Ran ignored these and just waved his hand gently:
"Let me ask you, you said you saw another stranger today. It can be seen that you saw other people before me.
"Tell me, where is this person now? "
" Just... right inside. "
The man didn't dare to hide it and pointed into the gambling house.
Jiang Ran nodded slightly and asked with a smile:
"Can I go in? "
Yes! " ! "
The man nodded quickly without any hesitation.
"That's good. "
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he turned around and tapped Liu Xiao'e's forehead with his finger.
Liu Xiao'e raised her head again, and her eyes had returned to clear color.
Tears burst out of her eyes:
"What...what's going on? Just now, I seemed to have seen a lot of... a lot of evil ghosts. They were holding human heads in their hands, and the heads were still talking...
"Then I saw a person rushing into the group of ghosts and killing everyone... But The killed evil ghosts are still moving, and the palms that fell to the ground grew mouths. They tried to bite the person, but they couldn't bite them."
Jiang Ran found it interesting to hear this.
Then he smiled and said,
"Don't worry, it's all fake. Miss Liu, do you want to follow me in to find out?"
"Okay!"
Liu Xiao'e naturally understood at this moment that Jiang Ran was not an ordinary person.
Although these evil spirits are powerful, Jiang Ran seems to be stronger.
Then she stood up obediently, not daring to look anywhere. She couldn't seem to tell which of the corpses on the ground were real and which were fake.
Jiang Ran took Ruan Yuqing and Liu Xiao'e and walked in directly from the doors on both sides.
These 'evil ghosts' outside seem to have really seen evil ghosts.
Wherever Jiang Ran went, they retreated one after another, not even daring to make eye contact with him, for fear that they would accidentally lead this man to use his sword and kill them all.
Open the curtain and step into the gambling house.
Then I saw a group of evil gamblers who turned a blind eye to everything around them, just staring at the pai gow, dice, shaking cups and the like on the gaming table, shouting "big big" or "little little little".
Concentrate completely and forget yourself.
Then either laugh out loud or cry loudly.
In the deepest part of the gambling house, Jiang Ran saw Luo Qingyi tied to a rack at a glance.
In front of him was a middle-aged man with a pale face and a dice-like shape painted on his head.
He was holding a sharp knife in his hand, and while he was muttering something, he was making vague scratches with the tip of the knife, as if he was studying how to separate Luo Qingyi.
Luo Qingyi was unafraid and cursed loudly and cursed...
Seeing this, Jiang Ran grinned and led Ruan Yuqing and Liu Xiao'e away from the 'ghost group' and came to the man's gambling table.
The strange thing is that the other gambling tables are full of ghosts, but here, there is not a single 'evil ghost' at all.
Luo Qingyi, who was cursing loudly, saw Jiang Ran at a glance, and immediately stopped yelling:
"Master!"
The 'evil ghost' with the dice printed on his head turned around, looked at Jiang Ran, and grinned:
"A stranger?"
"Stop pretending to be a ghost."
Jiang Ran felt that he was tired of playing with them: "Let him go."
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy gambling house suddenly became quiet.
All the 'evil ghosts' who had gathered in front of the gambling table to gamble, stopped what they were doing and looked up at Jiang Ran.
...
...
Wujian Town, Ghost King's Palace, Pinxin Restaurant.
In the kitchen, a fat, shirtless man with a pale face and a big mouth on his forehead was chewing a mouthful of flesh and blood, his face covered with blood.
After he swallowed the mouthful of meat, he raised his hand.
The fat palm was already dripping with blood, and the bones were visible.
He stared at his hands with frightened and hungry eyes, and murmured to himself:
"Eat slowly, it's delicious...don't leave any leftovers."
At this point, he suddenly opened his mouth and took a hard bite. Go down...
into the restaurant, into the lobby.
There were bodies lying in pools of blood everywhere.
Without exception, these corpses all had pale faces, as if they had been smeared with a layer of white face.
Her cheeks were painted thick and heavy with blush.
Blood rolled from the ground to the door of the restaurant.
Outside the door, a young man with a sallow face was sitting on the steps.
Holding a single sword in both hands, his eyes were still a little frightened.
After a long time, he let out a long breath:
"This ghost place... is really not for people to stay in...
"Why do you have to come to a place like this? It's so annoying!
"Now we are in trouble. We are separated from him. If something happens to him... Well, that's impossible."
He stood up and looked back at the four characters of Pinxin Restaurant.
His face was full of struggle.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh:
"That's all, I don't want to think about it anymore, I can't really let that waste eat me."
When he said this, a burst of laughter suddenly came from his ears.
Immediately afterwards, a voice sounded faintly in my ears:
"Sir, have you ever seen my unmarried bride?"
This voice was charming and charming at first.
When he reached the second half of the sentence, his voice suddenly became thick and thick, and turned into a man's thick and steady voice.
The young man's eyes darkened and he sighed:
"That's enough!"
