Chapter 65 Blood Food City [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

I don’t know if it’s because there are too many people walking the Yin path together and it’s safer, or if the road from Wupeng Mountain to Xueshi City is inherently safe.

In short, after leaving Nawupeng, the group was in a hurry to get on with their journey.

It seems like he is no longer worried about these evil spirits.

Liu Bai was still sitting on the shaft of the cart, looking around curiously.

It was around 9 o'clock that the convoy left Wupeng Mountain. After coming out of a narrow crevice in the mountain, the view in front of them suddenly became clear.

A stretch of plain that stretched as far as the eye could see appeared in front of Liu Bai. The plain was green and full of rice. The rice had not yet earred. The wind blew the green waves, and the scene was quite spectacular.

And right in front of this road, you can see a magnificent city. Liu Bai lit up his spirit and took a quick look.

The vision suddenly became clear, and the wall of the Blood Food City was about ten meters high.

And this is just an ordinary city. When I heard Master Ma bragging, he said that the city wall of Yunzhou provincial capital was so high that it was like a mountain.

Liu Bai knew that he was bragging, so he asked him if the wall of the provincial capital was so high, how high would the capital of Chu be?
Master Ma didn't accept his words and started arguing with a red face, saying that no matter how high it was, it was still not as high as the one he raised when he got up.

When Liu Bai heard this, he jumped up, kicked him, and left.

As the saying goes: A horse will die if it runs too far up the mountain.

Now it seemed to Liu Bai that Wangcheng was about the same. He could clearly see the Blood Food City, but it still took him more than half an hour to get there.

"Master Ma, isn't it much safer to live in the city? We don't have to worry about evil spirits." Liu Bai asked curiously.

"Compared to those villages, it is like this."

Master Ma said as he drove the cart, "But that's not entirely true, because most of the evil spirits in the city are transformed from humans, and once the first ghost appears, there will often be a large number of them, which are also very evil."

"But at least you don't have to worry about anything when you go out." Hu Wei shouted in the carriage.

Master Ma sneered, "Why don't you Hu family pool some money together and let you buy a house in this city, and then you can live in Blood Food City from now on."

"I can't afford to live here."

But Hu Wei was just saying this. For ordinary people in Huangliang Town, they really cannot afford to buy a house in the city.

But Hu Wei is a ghost walker, and with a few white beads, he can get a place to live in the city.

If he was willing to protect a few wealthy businessmen, he wouldn't even have to pay any money, as many people would give him houses to live in.

But he probably didn't want to.

Just like Mr. Ma, for those who travel by ghost path, many times it is not enough to just live in the city.

It would be good if you could get the Yin beads.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many businesses and ghost walkers in the mountains.

Living in the mountains is dangerous, but it also offers many opportunities.

It’s just like the chicken blood flower Liu Tie had seen before. If he lived in the city, he would never encounter it in his life.

While Liu Bai was thinking, Master Ma had already driven his carriage to the city gate and lined up.

The line was very long, winding for dozens of meters. Both people and carriages were crowded in line.

Li Daoba, who was driving the donkey cart behind, also got off the cart and came to Mr. Ma. He asked around, "What's going on in this city? Why is the inspection so strict? It seems like it hasn't been like this for a long time."

Mr. Ma is old, so he has seen a lot of things. "Maybe something big happened in the city again."

"Behave yourself when you enter the city this time."

"know."

Li Daoba nodded and looked at Liu Bai again.

Listening to their conversation, Liu Bai couldn't help but be a little shocked. What does it mean to behave after entering the city? !
It was not until Li Daoba returned that Liu Bai looked at Master Ma in surprise.

The latter knew what he was curious about, and laughed, "People in the city call us mud-legged people from the countryside, or yellow-haired spirits digging for food in the mountains."

"But it doesn't matter. In the city we are barefoot and they wear shoes." "So... we can act arrogantly in the city?!"

This was something Liu Bai had not expected. He thought that the ghost walkers from the countryside would have to behave themselves when they saw the ghost walkers from the city.

I didn't expect it to be the other way around.

"Besides, they don't have as much experience as we do. They are not like us who keep their heads tied to their belts every day. So they are not as fierce as us in fighting." Master Ma was smoking a pipe, looking very contented.

"As for you..."

Master Ma remembered something, looked at Liu Bai, and then lowered his voice and said, "Call your mother over, and you can walk around the entire Blood Food City."

Liu Bai rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not the kind of person who bullies others by taking advantage of my power."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Mr. Ma turned his face away angrily and didn't want to talk.

He stopped talking, and Liu Bai just looked at the people queuing in front.

Most of them were wearing gray linen shirts, and their faces were not pale, which showed that they were living a decent life.

As for the carriages in front, I can only say that they look quite luxurious and obviously belong to wealthy families.

Liu Bai was just thinking about it when he heard the sound of hurried horse hooves and the sound of wheels rolling over the road from behind.

Before he could look back, he saw a carriage rushing past and the crowd in front of it also retreated.

The carriage rushed to the front and soon went into the city again.

"This is the Zhou family's carriage, but I don't know who is inside." Mr. Ma said while exhaling smoke.

The Zhou family... one of the four major families in Xueshi City, Liu Bai naturally remembered it.

After this little episode, nothing else happened, and it took a long time to arrive at the city gate.

It was only when Liu Bai arrived that he discovered that those who were going to the underworld and ordinary people were checked separately.

The ones who checked ordinary people were the soldiers patrolling the city, and their attitude was very arrogant. However, the ones who checked the sneakers were also sneakers, and they looked easy to talk to.

Mr. Ma reminded him that the wooden box contained mountain products, so he really didn't open it to take a look.

"Brother, what happened in this city? Why is the investigation so strict? It hasn't been like this in a few years, right?" Master Ma asked curiously.

The ghost walker also sighed, "Who knows, they say a big shot has come from above, and they also say something big is going to happen in our area, they say something different every day."

"In short, we just do what the above says."

"That's true."

"Okay, be honest after you go in, next one."

Master Ma thanked them for a rare moment before driving the carriage into the city. He did not wait for the others behind him, and each went his own way once he entered the city.

This time Hu Wei did not sit in the carriage, but squatted in the front, sticking his head out and looking around.

After Liu Bai took a few glances, he lost much interest.

How to say it, this city... is very different from what he imagined. He originally thought it would be a very prosperous town with bustling crowds of people, everyone dressed very nicely, and the houses on both sides of the road should also be decorated very beautifully.

But in fact, although it is not completely the opposite, it has nothing to do with what he thought.

Maybe the situation in the provincial capital is different. This is the only way he can comfort himself.

Mr. Ma glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late. I'll take you two out for a meal first, and then take you two for a good stroll in the afternoon."

After saying that, he turned to look at Liu Bai and said, "I don't know why you are disappointed when you come to the city for the first time. Wait, I will take you to see the realm of the Yin-walking people tonight."

When Hu Wei heard this, he immediately reacted and said happily: "Master Ma, you mean there is a ghost market tonight?!"

Mr. Ma laughed and said:
"Why else do you think so many shady people are being driven into the city?"
