Chapter 149 Mysterious Man's Palm Seal (8000)

He could clearly feel that the one-horned demon in front of him was very powerful.

The two rows of demon soldiers were silent and just stood there.

The blood color around them made them look extremely gloomy, but Xu Bai could feel a gaze from their eyes.

This gaze was completely different from the gloomy one, with a curious look.

It was a very strange feeling. It was obviously weird, but it was full of human emotions. The curiosity was even stronger than that of humans.

Although the one-horned demon in front of him was very powerful, Xu Bai did not feel the killing intent from him.

He had been in this circle for so long, and he still had some feelings about killing intent. His intuition told him that it seemed that he could not fight.

As expected, the one-horned demon who led the team also looked at him with curiosity. After a while, he took two tentative steps and asked, "Human?"

Xu Bai nodded and asked back, "Demon?"

No one could have thought that the meeting between the two sides would be in this form.

After the two asked each other questions, they fell into a long silence.

"Wang Fu, the captain of the city guards in the 563rd city of Yaogui City, welcomes you." Wang Fu suddenly raised his hand and said, "You must have experienced a lot of hardships when you came here. How about going to the city to sit down? The city lord has already set up a banquet and wine in the city to entertain you."

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, touched his chin with his hand, and thought secretly.

The other party's attitude was really too weird. It might be justified to fight without meeting, but now he invited him to the city as a guest, and this Yaogui named Wang Fu was not the city lord.

Go or not?

This is a question worth thinking about.

Wang Fu seemed to see Xu Bai's hesitation, waved his hand, and acted very generously, saying, "Don't misunderstand, the city lord is hospitable, this is well known, and if I really want to harm you, I would have taken action long ago."

Xu Bai raised his head, and the other party was right.

Now he was walking into the other party's lair. If the other party really wanted to attack him, he would have already done it. There was no need to waste so much time here. If it were him, he would have drawn his knife and stabbed him instead of talking here.

"Since the city lord is so hospitable, I will be disrespectful. Please lead the way!" Xu Bai said with a smile.

"Please!" Wang Fu stretched out his hand, pointed in a direction, and led the way in front.

Xu Bai walked behind, looking at the surrounding situation while walking.

This place really looks like a place where humans live. Whether it is the surrounding houses or the atmosphere, it really doesn't look like a monster city.

If it were placed in the human world, or if these monsters were changed to look different, it would probably be a gathering of humans.

He didn't say anything along the way.

Wang Fu didn't seem to want to ask anything, but just led the way silently in front. Seeing this situation, Xu Bai didn't plan to say anything, and kept following behind.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, a magnificent building appeared in front of us. Compared with the surrounding houses, this building was simply a crane standing out from the crowd. It looked extremely luxurious. This style was definitely the city lord's mansion.

In front of the city lord's mansion, there were two rows of guards standing on both sides with weapons in their hands, looking extremely solemn. If it weren't for the dead silence, they would look no different from human soldiers.

"Please, the city lord is inside." Wang Fu opened the door and continued to raise his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

At this time, Xu Bai did not go in, but stood at the door, looking inside, and saw the situation in the yard through the door from the outside.

In the yard, there was a huge table with delicacies, wine and food on it.

There were various guards and maids standing on both sides, and in front of the table, there was a wealthy middle-aged man sitting.

The middle-aged man looked no different from humans, but he had a few long beards on his face, just like a mouse, and the middle-aged man's hands were like animal claws, which looked particularly gloomy.

If we leave this aside, he looks like a fat man who is always smiling.

As if he noticed Xu Bai's gaze, the middle-aged man looked over here, with kindness in his eyes, but more dead than kind.

"Oh, the distinguished guest has arrived, please come in quickly." The middle-aged man stood up, with a big belly, walked to the door, and smiled kindly: "I am the lord of the 563rd City, Huang Kui, I am honored to meet the distinguished guest, may I know your name?"

"I am Lin Yong, I meet the lord of Huang." Xu Bai bowed.

As for the name, he learned it on the spot and brought Lin Yong's name over.

These days, it is not clear what insidious moves there are, and you can do something with the name.

So it is better not to reveal your name. Although it is difficult to use those strange moves with only a name, you have to be careful. After all, there are people beyond people and heaven beyond heaven.

"It's Mr. Lin. Please come in." City Lord Huang stretched out his hand, led Xu Bai into the yard, and let Xu Bai sit at the head seat at the table.

At this time, Xu Bai got closer and saw the things on the table. At first, he thought they were delicacies, but when he looked closer, he found that they were all made of soil.

Xu Bai: "..."

Good guy, he was used to many shabby ways of entertaining, but he didn't expect that there was such a shabby way, even using soil to make the surface shape.

When City Lord Huang saw Xu Bai's expression, his beast-like claws touched the long beard beside his lips, and said ashamedly: "These are all etiquettes I paid attention to when I was alive, but there is no food for living people in Yaogui City, so I just pretended to be like that. At least we have to go through the formalities."

Xu Bai said: "City Lord Huang is thoughtful."

Really, we can only talk about the formalities. After all, in this situation, we can't let him pick up the chopsticks, right?

The etiquette at the dinner table is to talk while eating, but now there is no talk while eating, it seems a bit awkward. Talking about things while eating can resolve some of the embarrassment, but this time the embarrassment is getting bigger and bigger.

The two fell into silence. Although the surrounding monsters looked at Xu Bai curiously, they only took a glance and then looked away in a very obedient manner.

City Lord Huang didn't speak, and Xu Bai didn't speak either. Xu Bai was calm, and he didn't know what to say now. There were too many mysteries in his mind. He had to sort out one point before asking.

As if he realized that the atmosphere was a bit serious, City Lord Huang finally opened the chatterbox and broke the dead silence.

"Mr. Lin, I invited you here this time because I know that Mr. Lin can resist rejection, so I am very curious and want to see what Mr. Lin is like." City Lord Huang said.

Fight against rejection?

Xu Bai touched his chin and thought secretly.

The so-called rejection, if you think about it carefully, is just the things that devoured his soul.

Now when Xu Bai thinks of what happened just now, his scalp tingles. The situation just now made people have no power to fight back. This is still his skill with soul. If he doesn't have it, it will probably be faster.

Fortunately, the golden finger was quite powerful, allowing him to escape from danger successfully.

But now this demon named Huang Chengzhu wants to know what happened.

Is Huang Chengzhu strong?

Very strong.

At least in Xu Bai's opinion, he can't see the depth of the other party, and the fact that he can't see the depth of the other party proves that he is unfathomable.

Xu Bai thought about it and said, "How to see?"

Since he wanted to see his situation, it must involve the question of how to see it. Xu Bai did not hide it and asked directly.

Who knew that after asking this question, Huang Chengzhu shook his head decisively.

"When you entered the door, I saw it clearly. No, to be precise, I saw a fog, which is not something I can guess."

There was a trace of fear in his words, as if he saw something he shouldn't see, and his eyes couldn't stand it.

"A fog?" Xu Bai asked, "What is a fog?"

This answer was sometimes incoherent. Xu Bai seemed to understand it, but also seemed not to understand it completely.

"It means that you can see it but cannot touch it. If you want to see it carefully, you have to go into the fog, but once you go into the fog, you can't come out alive." City Lord Huang explained, but not in detail, as if he was afraid that saying too much would cause trouble, so he only gave a general explanation.

This confusing answer deepened the fog in Xu Bai's heart.

"Alas..." City Lord Huang said, "Mr. Lin, to be honest, even I haven't seen it through, so I can only describe it roughly. No matter how much you ask, I can't tell you everything, because I don't know either. Why don't we talk about something else?"

Xu Bai asked, "What does the city lord want to talk about?"

Since the other party had said this, Xu Bai didn't plan to continue to pester him. Hearing the other party say that he wanted to talk about something else, it aroused his curiosity. Of course, coming here is not just such a small matter. He must ask something.

"I still have some things I don't understand. How about asking City Lord Huang to tell me? After he tells me, we can talk about other things." Xu Bai said.

City Lord Huang nodded and said, "Excuse me."

Seeing that City Lord Huang was so straightforward, Xu Bai said, "Why do you have consciousness?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the scene fell into silence. In fact, he really wanted to ask this. The city lord in front of him, named Huang Kui, was the leader here and must know a lot of things. As for whether the other party would tell it or not, it depends on whether the other party is willing.

The quiet atmosphere was gradually spreading, and the surroundings were dead silent.

City Lord Huang suddenly raised his hand and waved at the surrounding air.

Seeing this, the monsters guarding the surroundings immediately bowed and left without staying here for a moment. After a long time, the place returned to peace, leaving only Xu Bai and City Lord Huang.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and waited for City Lord Huang's next words.

Since all his men were called away, he definitely didn't want these monsters to hear it. The next step should be the highlight.

As expected, after all the monsters left, City Lord Huang sighed, and his tone sounded very bleak.

"Alas, I know you will definitely ask these questions." City Lord Huang sighed and said, "In fact, I don't know the reason for this, but I know one thing, only the weirds in the Human Weird City or the Monster Weird City have the consciousness of their previous life, and no one else has it."

Xu Bai frowned when he heard this.

Only the weirds in these two places have consciousness, is there any trick in this?

He kept analyzing the two sentences in his mind, and after a moment, a clue echoed in his mind.

When people enter the Weird City, their souls will be devoured. What will happen if their souls are devoured? This is a very simple thing. They will directly become idiots and act on instinct.

Xu Bai has experienced it just now, so he is deeply touched.

What if this situation is reversed?

If the weird enters the place where humans live, all consciousness will be devoured and become a soulless existence.

In this way, aren't all the weirds existing in the human world idiots, without consciousness, and just doing things on instinct?

City Lord Huang seemed to have seen through what Xu Bai was thinking, and added: "To be precise, it's not that they are completely unconscious, but they only know to kill by instinct, killing everything they see. This is the rule we have summarized because someone once mistakenly came to our place before."

As he said this, he picked up the chopsticks in his hand, picked up a bowl of chicken made of loess, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times, with a disgusted expression on his face.

"Alas... I wish I could taste the beauty of food like when I was alive. It's not like now, even eating has become a luxury for us."

There was a hint of dejection in his words, as if he had lost the most precious thing in his life, and his heart was full of sadness and despair.

"Mr. Lin, what does eating taste like? I haven't tasted it for a long time and have forgotten it. Can you describe it for me?"

Xu Bai shook his head and said, "If I describe it for you, you will only feel worse. It's better to keep it in your heart and keep it as a thought."

Looking closely, this City Lord Huang seems to be quite pitiful. To be precise, all the monsters in the entire Monster City are quite pitiful. After all, they can't even do something as innate as eating.

"Alas..." City Lord Huang sighed again, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and changed his tone, saying, "We don't know the specific reason, but it seems to be a force in the dark that prevents us from breaking through this barrier. In other words, as long as we go to the human world, we will become machines that only know how to kill. The people in the human world will be the same when they come to us."

He smiled bitterly again. He thought this was an opportunity to break through. He could see some abnormal situation here with Xu Bai and see if he could find the final answer.

But he knew he was overthinking. Although the person in front of him was very young, his background was simply terrifying.

He knew what the fog represented, because something that even he couldn't see through was definitely something terrifying.

"Then let's talk about something else." City Lord Huang quickly calmed down. After all, he had lived for so long and his mood had long become numb: "Mr. Lin, I wonder who is in power now, or is it the Great Victory Kingdom?"

Great Victory Kingdom?

Xu Bai was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Da Chu, before Da Chu, there was a big wind. As for whether it was the Great Victory before the big wind, I don't know."

Good guy.

Xu Bai found a blind spot. How many years ago did this City Lord Huang die? He actually still exists in Yaogui City.

And the most important thing is, how strong is this person? After all, he has lived for so long.

Huang Chengzhu was also stunned. It took him a long time to react and sighed, "So it's been so long? Time flies and dynasties change. Let's not talk about this. How long will Mr. Lin stay here? I'll find someone to guide you."

"To be honest, I don't know how to go back. Does Huang Chengzhu know?" Xu Bai said.

Ignore the others. He was sucked in inexplicably. It's really unclear how to go back.

After all, this place is too weird. Xu Bai doesn't want to stay here any longer, so it's better to leave early. Just now, he heard what Huang Chengzhu said, and he felt that the other party seemed to know how to leave.

"Wouldn't you like to play for a while?" City Lord Huang said, "I thought Mr. Lin wanted to see a different world. Since you are leaving, I will find someone to send you away.

We have done a lot of experiments and sent some monsters to the human world, but the results are still the same, so we have not sent them there for a long time.

But it just so happens that Mr. Lin is leaving, and he can also go through this passage, Wang Fu!"

As City Lord Huang finished shouting this, Wang Fu walked in from outside the door and said respectfully, "I am here."

"Mr. Lin is leaving, you take him to that passage." City Lord Huang seemed to feel that Xu Bai was leaving, so he seemed a little uninterested.

Wang Fu was slightly stunned, and then said, "But it has been abandoned for a long time, and it will take some time to repair it."

"This..." City Lord Huang seemed embarrassed.

Xu Bai smiled and said, "No problem, I can wait, how many days will it take?"

"About three days." Wang Fu replied.

"Then do it quickly, don't let Mr. Lin wait too long." City Lord Huang ordered.

Wang Fu quickly agreed again and left.

After Wang Fu left, City Lord Huang looked a little apologetic.

"Mr. Lin, this is indeed something I didn't expect. How about you stay in my City Lord's Mansion for a few days, and you can leave after three days."

"Then I'll have to trouble City Lord Huang." Xu Bai was not in a hurry, and said: "By the way, I heard that humans and monsters are not very harmonious, but I see that City Lord Huang is very friendly to me. Why is that?"

City Lord Huang said self-deprecatingly: "When you are alive, you have to fight for everything, and you have to grab everything. Only then do you know that it is nothing after death. Now we can't even satisfy the most basic appetite, so how can we think about the disputes in the past? Everything has disappeared with death."

Speaking, City Lord Huang said no more, led the way in front, took Xu Bai to a room, and opened the door.

The room was decorated very elegantly. If it weren't for the red light all over the room, it would look like an elegant place.

"Mr. Lin, are you satisfied?" asked City Lord Huang.

Xu Bai nodded and said, "Very satisfied."

"Then take a rest first. Mr. Lin is also very tired on the way. I won't disturb you." City Lord Huang said, and left directly. Before leaving, he closed the door.

Xu Bai watched the back of City Lord Huang leaving. He didn't find a place to sit down until the door was closed. He put his hands on the table and tapped gently.

To be honest, he was a little worried about today's communication. The specific reason for his worry was that the current position was different.

As the saying goes, listen to half of what is said, don't believe it all, but don't disbelieve it.

The other party said that he would take him to the so-called mysterious place in a few days, and he could return to the human world.

But whether it is true or not, no one can tell.

From today's communication, I can't see any difference. In short, I'll stay here for a few days to see if I can find any clues.

As for the strange loss of consciousness that we talked about today, Xu Bai still needs to think about it more. When he returns to the human world, he will ask for relevant information.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai looked at the blood-red color around him and fell into deeper thinking.

...

There is no so-called day or night in Yaogui City. Xu Bai just roughly estimated the time and it should be the next day.

He didn't sleep during this period, let alone do anything else.

When he opened the door, he found a person standing outside the door, or to be more precise, a demon.

——Wang Fu.

Wang Fu was still standing outside the door with that horn on his head, obviously waiting for Xu Bai, but he was embarrassed to enter the house.

After seeing Xu Bai open the door, he cast a look, seemed a little hesitant, and didn't know why.

"Brother Wang, you are waiting outside so early in the morning. It seems that you have something important to tell me. Why don't you come in and talk?" Xu Bai made way and returned to the house.

Wang Fu stood there hesitating for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, walked to the room, and sat next to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai just subconsciously wanted to pour a cup of tea, and then he found that there was no tea in this Yaogui City, whether it was food or drink, there was nothing here, after all, they were monsters who could not even satisfy their appetite.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai put down his raised hand, stared at Wang Fu with burning eyes, and said slowly: "Just say it if you have something."

Wang Fu took a deep breath and suddenly said: "Mr. Lin, I want to ask you to help me with something."

As he said that, he stood up and bowed to Xu Bai.

This etiquette is still used even in the current Great Chu State. It is a very solemn etiquette. From this, it can be seen that what Wang Fu said just now is very important.

Xu Bai turned slightly to the side, not accepting the greeting, and said: "Brother Wang, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. If I can help you, I will do it. Of course, I must give you something."

As the saying goes, business is about reciprocity, and it is all about a transaction. They have only known each other for a few days, and their feelings for each other are not deep, so in the end, they still need something.

Wang Fu thought it was very normal when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half, he was stunned on the spot and did not react.

Need something?

What do you need?

He was a little confused.

"To be honest, I am a businessman, so if I want to help, I have to be paid." Xu Bai said with a smile.

This was said very uprightly, without beating around the bush or shrinking back. In his opinion, the transaction was very fair and there was no need to hide or be embarrassed.

Wang Fu remained in a stiff state, and finally understood what Xu Bai said. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mr. Lin, I've been dead for a long time. I have nothing, so how can I give you anything?"

"That's a pity." Xu Bai sighed: "I may not be able to help you with this matter."

Wang Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Lin, as long as you do me this favor, although I have nothing to bring you, I can definitely let my descendants give you something."

Descendants?

How did this matter involve descendants?

Xu Bai touched his chin and asked, "Tell me what you want to do first, and then I'll see if I can help."

Wang Fu nodded and said, "It's like this, I've been dead for a long time, but I don't know if my clan still exists, so I want Mr. Lin to go to the Half Moon Sea when he has time to find the tuna tribe."

"Tuna tribe?" Xu Bai was surprised. Looking at the horn on Wang Fu's head, he realized what this horn was.

Good guy, isn't this the mouth of a tuna? How did it change to the top of the head?

Wang Fu certainly didn't know what Xu Bai was thinking, and he was still talking to himself: "That's right, when the time comes, you just need to say my name, the main thing is to help me tell them that if they really can't hold on, they can find a place together and die."

Xu Bai frowned.

He saw what Wang Fu was thinking. If the monster turned into a monster after death, if they gathered together, they might be able to enter the Monster City.

Wang Fu wanted his people to be able to enter the Monster City and maintain consciousness.

"Just like this, just mentioning your name is enough?" Xu Bai said.

Wang Fu nodded and said, "I am an extremely secretive existence in the tribe. Only the tribe members can know my name, and only the direct descendants can know it. Before I died, my tribe members had a very difficult life, so I asked Mr. Lin to bring a message."

Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "Okay, I agree."

Wang Fu was going to spend more time talking, but he didn't expect Xu Bai to agree all of a sudden, and he didn't react yet.

"Anything else?" Xu Bai asked again.

Wang Fu shook his head stiffly, indicating that there was nothing else.

In fact, Xu Bai agreed, but whether to do it or not was another matter.

No one could go to the Half Moon Sea to find the monster tribe because of a verbal promise.

Unless that person has a serious brain disease?

If he fools them and those so-called clansmen don't buy it, he will have to find a way to kill them.

This is a very unprofitable business.

As for why he agreed, it would be fine to go and see it when he is strong enough in the future.

"But I can't promise to go right away." Xu Bai added.

Wang Fu smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't matter. If they are gone before you go, it can only be said that they are unlucky. I am dead and have let it go. This only obsession is not very deep."

"Okay, since you have nothing to do, let's talk about it?" Xu Bai said with a smile.

Compared with the City Lord Huang, who even he couldn't see through, Wang Fu acted much simpler. Xu Bai certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Wang Fu asked, "What do you want to talk about, Mr. Lin?"

The other party agreed to his request, so of course he wouldn't hide anything.

Xu Bai pondered for a moment, organized his words, and then asked: "Yesterday I heard that there are more than 500 monsters in your city, which proves that there are at least more than 500?"

Wang Fu nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, there are thousands of them in total. After all, from our time to now, countless monsters have died. Even if there is only a small chance of becoming a monster and entering here, there are still many."

"What is the strength of City Lord Huang? He must be very strong to have lived for so long, right?" Xu Bai continued to ask.

Wang Fu understood that this was to inquire about their strength.

But he knew that even if he inquired, it would be nothing. Anyway, they couldn't get out, and others would immediately become idiots if they came in.

"First rank." Wang Fu said directly: "Mr. Lin, you may not understand that the strength before death is the strength when you come in. It will not change with time. We cannot practice, but we can live for a long time and almost never die, unless it is caused by external forces."

Will not change?

First rank?

Xu Bai pondered, "In other words, the other city lords are also first-class?"

"No." Wang Fu said, "The other city lords may be stronger or weaker. After all, the strength of each Yaogui City is different. Only the strongest can become the city lord.

And each Yaogui City will not allow outsiders to rob. If they rob, they will be attacked by the crowd. Therefore, the city lord can only be selected from the local people. This is to avoid chaos."

Xu Bai hummed, indicating that he understood.

Regardless of whether the other party's words are true or false, or whether they are fooling him, he will mark them first and remember what he just said firmly in his heart.

These things can be verified later. At that time, maybe he can exchange information with the emperor.

"Any other questions?" Wang Fu asked.

Xu Bai nodded.

Of course he still has questions. Now this is a good opportunity. Facing this seemingly simple Lin Fu, of course he has to ask more useful questions.

"Everyone who comes in will become stupid. Is there no exception?" Xu Bai continued.

This is what he wanted to know.

Wang Fu shook his head and said, "There are no special cases, only you are a special case. From the birth of Yaogui City to now, no special situation has occurred in any Yaogui City."

Speaking of this, Wang Fu seemed to think of something and knocked on the horn on his head.

"There is a special case that is not a special case. That time, a person without a soul came in. As soon as he came in, he killed everywhere. Many city lords could not resist him. In the end, the top ten city lords took action and jointly repelled him.

The last battle was still in our place. Before he left, he left a huge palm print on the ground, which has not disappeared until now.

It's really scary to say that the man's physical strength is incredible. No matter what attack falls on him, he will recover in an instant.

He seems to be looking for something with a soul, because I saw with my own eyes that he kept repeating the word soul in his mouth."

As he spoke, Wang Fu's face showed a fearful expression. Obviously, he thought of the scene that day, which made him feel scared.

That day, blood flowed like a river. The man in white was like a tireless machine.

Xu Bai was sitting there calmly, but when he heard this, he stood up suddenly: "You said... he left a palm print in this Yaogui City?"
