Chapter 409: Sad reminder of the Taoist... Hetong Hades
“…Jiang, Jiang Ziya?”
When Pei Chen heard such a famous and even well-known name, his face froze for a moment, and his hippie smiled expression instantly frozen.
What is this? Is it random?
"No, no, no, I think you are misunderstood by this gentleman. In the next chapter, Jiang Ziya is the 'Jiang' of the Cao Jiang, not the 'Jiang' of the sheep girl Jiang."
The young Taoist was stunned at first, and then quickly explained. It seemed that he had encountered such things many times, and the series of defenses were very fluent, as if he didn't have to think through his brain at all.
"Oh, that's how you said it, then you'd say it a long time ago... I was scared..." Pei Chen then breathed a long sigh, pressed his chest, and then stared at the Taoist priest in front of him with bright eyes: "If you say so, Taoist priest, you must be the kind of strange man with high skills and a strong and free and easy game in the world, right? I wonder if you have any advice to call us? Or do you think you like us and plan to give us some benefits?"
Jiang Ziya: "..."
How can I answer this? Why is the monster in front of me completely unreasonable? The corners of the young Taoist's eyes twitched, and he began to regret that he had an incident and had an intersection with these three people for a while.
"Ahem, Mr. Murong was joking. He was just a casual person and a wild crane. How could he be called a powerful person and a strange person..."
Jiang Ziya has a lot of experience and knowledge. After a moment of hesitation, she was ready to continue to speak according to the preset lines. As for now, she would say some polite words to the other party first before she could say it.
However, Pei Chen did not intend to give him a chance to fool him-
"No, no, no, you can see our problems at a glance, and you have the courage to provoke our Taoist priests themselves, which is already abnormal, like a generation of fortune telling immortals... And even if you are blind or complicated for the rule of honorifics, you can't know anything about it, right? In this case, you dare to give an arrogant name like "Ziya". No matter how you look at it, you are not the kind of wild Taoist priest who can easily catch three or four on the street!"
Pei Chen shook his head and said, narrowing his eyes curiously, looking at the Taoist who called himself Jiang Ziya, as if he had recalled something, and he felt a little relieved.
He had a formulaic smile on his face, and anyone who looked at him would feel his expression was gentle and calm, but the Taoist sitting opposite him could only look at the other party's flashing red eyes with a meaningful smile.
"Then Mr. Murong, what do you mean..."
"Of course it's a good thing. It's hard to see a real master. How can you take advantage of it? Otherwise, it would be too sorry for yourself..." Pei Chen seemed to be waiting for his words, and immediately smiled, and seemed very sure that he could take the other person like that, and could speak with confidence in such unconventional words.
"..." Jiang Ziya thrust hard, how come this is your attitude and way of treating experts? You really deserve that you will never meet a real expert in your life!! He subconsciously looked at the two beauties, big and small next to him. The girls should be soft-hearted and easier to talk, and maybe they can help him... Damn it!
The girl with silver hair and blue eyes and slender figure was not mentioned. Her big green eyes were staring at him, her eyes were rolling, and she didn't know what bad idea was thinking. But the woman with a shocking temperament turned her head at the first time and didn't plan to look at her at all...
Good eight, it seems that I have a big deal...
Jiang Ziya sighed a long time ago, but could not count himself. This is probably the shortcoming of all practitioners who are serious about fortune-telling. He was on a whim and wanted to give some advice to these strange people outside the disaster so that they would not go to the muddy water to avoid being infected with cause and effect for no reason.
But I didn't expect that the leader of the Demon Star was so keen. He just said a few words and simply and roughly determined that he had something to death. It was like he knew the result in advance and then deduced the process. He immediately focused on himself...
If I had known it would have been better if I hadn't sucked into this muddy water myself.
"Okay, then I won't say anything secretly..." Jiang Ziya, who had figured it out, shook his head and no longer cared about such things. Instead, he smiled freely and made it clear, and he was a bachelor. "I see that all the faces are people outside the disaster, and their aura is restrained and they don't mess with vulgarity in the world... Isn't it better to be so careless? People who practice are all those who pursue the great way of immortality, and they all care about their lives. Why do you have to take the initiative to get involved in that vortex?"
"Hey? You guy... really have two tricks!" Pei Chen looked at the young Taoist, with a slightly shocked and suspicious expression. He suddenly asked, "Since you said we are people from outside the disaster, then tell me, where did we come from?"
Pei Chen has already recalled that in the game settings, this guy named Jiang Ziya seems to be an NPC in Fengdu. He should have no problem with his identity and his level is very high. He can see the problems with Han Lingsha at a glance. So Pei Chen doesn't mind wasting some time with him to see if he can get some extra information from him.
but……
The current situation is obviously beyond Pei Chen's expectations! This Taoist priest's fortune-telling method seems to be comparable to that of the fortune-telling immortals in his generation. Although they are all supporting roles, they are all people who can see through other people's fate and even spy on some of the fate trajectories at a glance. Even the three of them who are not in this world can guess based on the fortune-telling method... This made Pei Chen feel threatened.
I don’t know if the other party saw through the identities of “people outside the domain” of him and others directly. Should he kill someone to silence him? He looked at the other party thoughtfully, his eyes flashing and his smile was full of fun. He saw Jiang Ziya’s heart beat wildly for no reason, and he had a premonition that he would be in trouble if he didn’t answer well.
"This..." Jiang Ziya was obviously in distress, hesitated for a while with a ugly face, and then shook his head decisively and said, "This, I have not yet reached my home in my practice, so I can't see clearly... The fate of several people looks clear and judging at first glance, but in-depth exploration is vague and difficult to distinguish. I am afraid that there are not many people in this world who can spy on you..."
“…”
Pei Chen narrowed his eyes, as if he was carefully identifying whether the Taoist priest in front of him was telling the truth or lies. Time seemed to pass very slowly. Jiang Ziya looked at the other party in cold sweat and felt his body becoming more and more stiff. It was not until Platycodon coughed gently and Pei Chen moved away his gaze in disappointment that he suddenly relaxed.
Just like an ordinary person suddenly encounters a tiger, if he hasn't experienced it personally, he will never feel the feeling of being targeted by a terrifying predator, and he has no way to resist. It's simply terrible... Although the monster in front of him looks thin and weak and seems to have no muscles, many things in this world cannot be seen only on the surface!
For example, a figure of more than two meters tall and full of explosive muscles... Cough cough, such muscles may be a good player in the iron farming and doing physical work such as Billy, but if you really want to fight, let alone monsters, even ordinary tigers and leopards may not have much chance of winning! The advantages of human beings are generally only reflected in the two aspects of "team cooperation" and "tool use". If you have to compete for single combat power, you can despise or even ignore human species in large numbers...
Having said that, did the above passage get into something strange?!
"Can't you even do such a thing? Then it seems that your physiognomy needs to continue practicing!" Pei Chen changed the subject casually and then blackened Jiang Ziya's skill level, regardless of the other party's black expression, saying: "Let's talk about other things... By the way, how much is your consultation fee per hour? Oh, I mean how much does your hexagram gold need..."
"Uh, one divination of five hundred cents..." It seemed that he could not adapt to Pei Chen's reckless thinking and could not keep up with such a magical rhythm of conversation. Jiang Ziya's eyes were directly confused and he replied subconsciously.
"Tsk, it's only half a tael of silver for one question. No wonder your business is not very good... Well, this ingot of silver should be enough. I'm going to ask a few questions." Pei Chen nodded and said, while confusing the concept, he pressed a large ingot of silver on the table. Such a move immediately made the Taoist widen his eyes and subconsciously... swallowed again.
Jiang Ziya, who has such ability to calculate the calculating level, naturally cannot be the kind of person who is jealous of money. To be honest, the reason why he sets up a stall is more of a mentality of training in the world. The reason why he is so out of control is that the guy in front of him is too much money.
In the conventional sense, silver actually refers to a weighing currency with silver ingots as the main form. It started in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and was called silver liang. However, silver liang in this dynasty has not yet developed into the shape of ingots, and the official name is silver liang, which is a ship shape with a ridge that looks like a boat and a ridge that looks like a table.
The silver ingot given by Pei Chen is an unreasonable ingot shape that will only be common in later generations, and its weight and size completely exceed the standards of this era. The most important point is that from the remaining fingerprints on it, it was clearly pinched by someone with his hands. Perhaps because the maker did not have enough coins, he wanted to use this method to rescue the world? However, because of the lack of common sense, such an inappropriate thing was created...
Gold and silver are both precious metals, and they are soft metals, but no matter how soft it is, they are still metals. Moreover, silver has higher hardness than gold. Gold can be bitten with teeth, because teeth are the hardest tissue in the human body, and even the skull is incomparable. The hardness of enamel is second only to diamond! It is the second hard substance in nature...
But has anyone heard of someone who can do this: directly exert force through the palm and fingers to leave clear fingerprints on the surface of a large ball of gold? Further, silver is harder than gold, but can it be done?
And the prerequisite is not to use any special means of suspicion of taking advantage of tricks, and only use the absolute strength of one's own muscles to exert force... Although it cannot be absolutely denied that there are such strong ordinary humans in the world, if there is one foot, it will definitely have entered the superpower realm...
While Jiang Ziya was sweating coldly on his forehead, he could only smile bitterly and put away the silver ingot. In his opinion, this monster was actually threatening himself in this way: It would be better not to play tricks. I could poke you to death with my fingernails at such a close distance... and so on.
"Your Excellency... may I ask! But I can't guarantee that I can answer you."
"It doesn't matter, I know, it seems that it's about five punishments and three shortcomings, revealing secrets, etc., right? So people like you always like to say nothing clearly..." Pei Chen smiled slightly, then immediately raised a white and slender index finger and shook it in front of Jiang Ziya's eyes, "So listen, the first question-"
"We want to go to the ghost world, do you have any solutions?"
When Jiang Ziya heard this, he answered immediately without thinking:
"The easiest way is to go to the city gate at midnight. That is the time when the yin energy in the world is at its peak. And because midnight is overwhelming, a little sun is born in the Taiyin, and the yin and yang meet... As long as the time is well grasped, you can directly enter the ghost realm at the city gate."
He seemed not surprised by Pei Chen and the others at all.
Pei Chen didn't say anything and stared at him tightly.
The Taoist priest quickly added: "But that way, it is easy to separate the body and soul, and only the soul can enter the ghost world... If you don't hurry up, it's better to find a Yin Bad. There are many strangers in Fengdu City who are actually working for the underworld. As long as you bid high enough, you can buy Soul Lie from them. It can effectively protect the Soul Lie when the Soul Lie, and will come back immediately after the medicine has passed, so that there will be no problems with the body..."
"This is not enough..." Pei Chen shook his head slowly, "I know what you said, but what I need is a way to directly enter the ghost world with my body, rather than a way to gambling luck with the body and soul separation..."
"This..." Jiang Ziya looked puzzled, and after thinking for a while, he stood up with a strange expression and pointed to the ferry not far behind him: "That's only where can be done - the Long River is too yin energy, and it is the Styx River flowing to the underworld... Some Yin Mistakes sometimes receive some special tasks and need to enter the ghost world with their physical body, which is done through the Styx River. Even when they come back, they are riding on the green bamboo boat that the ghost ferry..."
The dark and gloomy sky and the strange atmosphere of Fengdu City.
The dragon river with awesome spirit flows quietly with the river water, and the wind is calm and the waves are not swaying. Pei Chen looked away in the direction pointed out by the Taoist, but found that his vision that could easily penetrate more than ten kilometers was extended less than half a kilometer above the wide river surface, and he could not see anything-
