Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 307: Yellow Spring Coffin
Fengdu Wharf to the east of Fengdu City.

I saw the dim yellow springs splashing beside the dock, making rumbling sounds from time to time.

Bone ships were docked at the pier, with bursts of shrill wails emanating from the hulls from time to time, reminding people on the shore to get on board as soon as possible.

"You guys... call this thing a spring?"

Looking at the endless yellow river water in the distance that looked like a vast ocean, Xiao Ran turned around to look at Chongshan and others. He had been to the Wangchuan River, and thought that the Yellow Springs should be similar, about the size of a river. But when he really arrived at the Yellow Springs, Xiao Ran was stunned.

"Hey, this is Huangquan. It was like this when we first came here."

Chongshan and others explained with a smile.

There are many tributaries of Huangquan, but they all converge here in the end. There is an old saying here: "The Huangquan is vast and long, and no hero has ever emerged from the waves." It means that the Huangquan is so vast that it is difficult to cross it even after thousands of years. No one knows where the end of the Huangquan is. Some people have gone to look for it out of curiosity, but they never returned and have never been seen since then.

"Big Brother, are you leaving so soon? In fact, there are still many places worth visiting in Fengdu, such as Fengdu Scenic Spots, White Waterfall Dream Bridge, Huangquan Low Tide Sea Catch, Golden Pond Ksitigarbha Lotus..."

Chongshan named five or six scenic spots in Fengdu in one breath.

For example, the White Waterfall Dream Bridge is a popular attraction in Fengdu. It is said that every seven days a stream of white spring flows down from the Fengdu Mountain in the north. The white waterfall roars and a rainbow bridge is derived below.

It is said that as long as someone walks across the Rainbow Bridge, they can resolve the resentment in their heart. When choosing reincarnation, there is a very small probability of obtaining a special promotion.

Although it is just a rumor, in such a desperate place, even the smallest hope will still attract many people.

Xiao Ran actually wanted to shop around a little longer, after all, he was already here.

But the old Taoist's final words still made Xiao Ran feel fearful.

He was not sure whether the old Taoist's words were true or false.

But after leaving the ghost merchant, he did feel that the ghost pill on his lower back seemed to be vaguely restless.

This thing is too weird. If the ghost pill is really mature and causes some big commotion, I am not sure if I can handle it with my identity as a ghost messenger.

In the eyes of Chongshan and others, even if he was just a ghost messenger, it was an unattainable official position.

But in the underworld, what is a ghost messenger? ?

Just ants.

There are so many underworld officials in the underworld, and there are even more people who have more power than me. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid my fate may not be much better than that of the old Taoist priest.

"Junior brother, this is the Soul Chasing Order. With this, you will be free. When I sell all this batch of goods, I will find an opportunity to come again. By then, I will return your money with interest."

Xiao Ran took out the [Soul-Chasing Order] given by the old Taoist priest from the space. This thing is also a C-level cursed object.

As long as they hold this thing, Chongshan and the others must obey all of Xiao Ran's arrangements.

But at this moment Xiao Ran returned the item to Chongshan, and this action shocked Chongshan and his group.

"Elder brother, you..."

"Take it. Since we are brothers, there is no need to play this game. If you think I can do it, then follow me. If you think I can't do it, then we can part ways in peace."

Xiao Ran stuffed the sign into Chongshan's hand. He didn't like such despicable means.

What he needs are like-minded brothers and friends, not puppets whose lives are held in his hands. If he wants puppets, there are too many corpses in his own space, so he doesn't need these few.

Chongshan and his companions' shoulders trembled, and there was a cry in their voices.

But ghosts have no tears, they can only bow heavily to Xiao Ran: "If you have any instructions from the senior brother in the future, we will not refuse even if we die."

"I will not give up even if I die!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Here are some ghee candles. Although they are not very pure, they are good old stuff. They should be able to sell for some money. You can take them first and wait for me to come back."

Xiao Ran took out the butter candles he had found in his hometown and stuffed them all to Chongshan and others.

"Candle!!"

Looking at the candles in their hands, Chongshan and his group immediately gathered around, put them under their noses and took a sniff, and their eyes suddenly lit up: "Big Brother, each of these candles can be exchanged for at least 100 ghost money, or 3,000 Yin notes."

The so-called Yin banknotes are naturally issued by Fengdu Bank itself. They are also the currency of Fengdu. However, their value is much smaller than that of ghost money, with a ratio of one to thirty.

However, for most of the ghosts in Fengdu, Yin banknotes are enough. As for ghost money, many ghosts cannot use them.

The candles Xiao Ran gave were enough for Chongshan and the others to earn a considerable amount of capital, which could also make up for the gap in the money they had spent before.

"Live well. When I come back, I will bring you some good things. Then we can make a big deal. I promise that you brothers will have enough food and drink and live a good life."

Xiao Ran patted Chongshan on the shoulder, assured them, and then bowed: "Goodbye!"

"Big Brother!"

Chongshan and the others wanted to say something, but at this moment the bone ship on the dock had already issued an urgent urging sound again. They could only bow to Xiao Ran and say goodbye, watching Xiao Ran board the bone ship to Yin Yang Dao.

Xiao Ran took out the ghost money. The boat ticket worth 100 ghost money was indeed valuable. After getting on the bone boat, he walked to the deck and waved to Chongshan and others. After a while, the bone boat under his feet started to move slowly.

The speed of this bone ship was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had already sailed ten thousand meters away. Its speed was many times faster than that of the ghost crab.

It was not until the pier gradually disappeared from Xiao Ran's sight that he withdrew his gaze, thinking about the various possibilities of the future in his mind.

The biggest gain of the trip to Fengdu was not only getting rid of the old Taoist priest Yinshan, but more importantly, using the banner of the Taoist priest Yinshan to gather these junior brothers. Chongshan's junior brothers were very important. With them here, he had opened up a trade route in Fengdu.

Xiao Ran calculated the profit of this trip. After disposing of the masks on hand, he could earn at least 4000 ghost money after deducting the cost.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is huge profit.

This path also gave rise to an ambition in Xiao Ran's heart.

Donglongfang, Penglai Tower, and Changchun Club.

With Bone Spirit Street as their center, the three companies have basically taken away all the benefits in the front area of the Mystery City.

The Changchun Society, in particular, transformed some mystery cities into their industries for the purpose of renovation.

It is basically impossible for others to rise among the three. There is no track to compete for in terms of financial, material and human resources.

This kind of threshold without a threshold is the biggest threshold.

But if he could pave the way, he could rely on the secondary industry [Amazing Pavilion] as a foundation, seize the initiative in the new mystery city, and rapidly advance his business to the fourth largest force.

In this way, he might have the strength to challenge Donglongfang and Penglailou in the future.

This is an opportunity to overtake others. If Xiao Ran fails to seize it, he will probably regret it in the future.

So, why is it necessary to develop business?

Is there any need to say this? As Xiao Ran's strength gradually improved, he felt more and more the importance of these four words.

Those who can truly reach the top of the pyramid must have the support of these four words.

And the higher your career level, the more resources you consume.

Even when it reaches a certain level, it is no longer a problem that can be solved by talent alone.

The opportunity was right in front of him, how could Xiao Ran not be tempted.

"Woooooooo..."

On the deck of the bone ship, the wails of the dead echoed in the vast underworld. A bloody wind was blowing in front of them, and there was no end in sight at a glance.

"I don't know what's going on with Lu Cheng."

Xiao Ran thought of Lu Cheng. It was not a problem to worry because Lu Cheng had the protection of the Second Master and a lot of gods watching over him.

Although Lu Cheng's own strength is much weaker than his own, if he were an assassin, he would rather assassinate those beginners with treacherous strength than rashly attack Lu Cheng.

It is estimated that before he could even reach the door, Lu Cheng had already received the letter. With this information gap, it would not be easy to kill Lu Cheng.

But after being away for so long, I can't help but feel a little worried. I wonder how this Brother Lu is doing.

"Sir, please move to the ship's tower to rest. Please do not approach the deck."

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone calling me.

Xiao Ran looked around but saw no one. Instead, a wooden face appeared on the boat pile on the deck, repeating numbly what he had just said.

Obviously, Chuanzhu is also a "blessed" ghost.

Xiao Ran walked forward and asked, "Why? Is there any danger on the deck?"

Chuan Zhuang's head didn't move, but he looked up at Xiao Ran: "Sir, please move to the deck and have a rest..."

Seeing that Chuan Zhuang wouldn't say anything else, Xiao Ran didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and was about to go upstairs. After all, he understood the principle of listening to people's advice and having a full meal.

But the moment he turned around, he suddenly felt a piercing chill in his chest.

【Black Swan Brooch】Calling the police!

Realizing the danger, Xiao Ran bent down almost instinctively.

"call!!"

A violent gust of wind blew over his head, almost causing Xiao Ran to fall to the ground. He looked up and saw a strange black fish flying over his head and diving into the yellow spring on the other side.

"Boom..."

With a loud bang, waves appeared on the surface of the Yellow Spring Water.

"Dong dong dong..."

At this time, a rapid bell rang on the ship, and the doors and windows of the ship were closed all at once. Under the waves, coffins floated up one after another. Some of these coffins were made of stone, some were made of wood, and some were carved out of gold, silver, and even white jade. They floated densely above the underworld, making people feel panic.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran was about to walk towards the hatch of the ship. Not to mention the origins of so many coffins, just floating on the water gave people an ominous feeling.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a chill suddenly arose in the lower back, followed by an irrepressible breath surging from the lower back to the whole body.

Xiao Ran's mind tensed up, and he felt his limbs were cold. A current of coldness flowed from his lower back into his limbs, causing him to shudder all over. "Oh no! This ghost pill is not ripe earlier or later, but at this time..."
