Chapter 212 The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons Begins! Standard answers won't get high marks! (Subscribe)

Fortunately, the boss didn't take out a machete and said: That's right, I'm robbing you, hand over your money quickly!
The owner of the incense and candle shop smiled, his expression still very kind:

"You get what you pay for, no bargaining, no cheating!"

After saying this, he picked up the ever-burning lamp and said:

"Although this eternal lamp is a little expensive, it works well. With it, I no longer have to worry about seeing ghosts when walking at night!"

Hmm? Something seems a little wrong.

Lin Mo raised his eyebrows, but didn't bother.

After all, they are not afraid of not encountering ghosts, but rather that there are too few ghosts.

The boss smiled and said:

"Do you know why we can't go out after dark? It's because this Wedding Dress City is too special. It's surrounded by evil spirits. Gradually, a natural evil spirit formation has formed."

"So, some rules are very favorable to ghosts."

"If you go out at night without these candles, you will be haunted by evil spirits in no time and your corpses will be left on the streets. Even your souls will be imprisoned by this evil spirit formation after you die, and you will never be able to get out again!"

The boss explained it very clearly, almost immediately making clear the dangers of the ancient city at night.

The incense and candle shop is indeed the only prop shop in the city that can detect evil spirits.

All the props sold are used to restrain evil spirits.

Lin Mo asked in confusion, "Little Loli Senior, if it's to break the evil spirit, do we have to buy his props? Wouldn't your talisman be fine as well?"

Yu Linglong said in a voice transmission:
"Don't call me by that name... The other props are fine, but the lights in his shop are not evil-breaking."

"You can understand it as breaking certain restrictions and rules of this formation. This is not something that can be done with just the evil-breaking spell."

Got it, limited item.

Someone as smart as Lin Mo understood it immediately.

Therefore, the props they had to buy were lights that could illuminate the night.

But one hundred taels of gold is equal to one thousand taels of silver.

The copper and silver coins they have collected so far are far from enough.

The boss seemed to notice their financial difficulties and said:

"If that doesn't work, you can also buy some lotus candles. One lotus candle only costs ten taels of silver and can burn for about two hours."

"It can only burn for two hours?"

Lin Mo looked at the lotus candle and was somewhat dissatisfied with its usage time.

"It's already good enough, but the eternal lamp can only be used for a whole night!"

The boss said so.

Lin Mo counted the money in his pocket and decided to reserve some for booking a hotel for the night.

Don’t say that the inn is useless. The safe house is after all the last resort, so you still have to book it.

If you calculate it all, one lotus candle is not enough for each of them, and they can only buy four lotus candles at most.

"How about buying some lotus candles first?"

Lin Mo discussed with a few people.

"Don't buy anything else. This agarwood is a good thing. And..."

The boss was trying hard to sell them: "These things are very popular. If you don't buy more, they will be snapped up by the residents soon."

“Will the residents come to rob too?”

Lin Mo glanced outside the door and there seemed to be no guests.

"You don't understand. The residents here only dare to go out at noon. Besides, there is a mass grave outside the west of the city. The evil spirit is very heavy. They usually won't come here."

The boss answered this question and did not forget to promote his own products:

"This red talisman paper is currently the best-selling one. If you stick it on the door at night, it can prevent ordinary ghosts from coming to your door. Of course, if you encounter a wedding procession, then there is nothing you can do."

"Besides the Ye Mansion, the Xilai Inn is the safest, but the room rate is too expensive, not everyone can afford it."

Lin Mo and the others looked at each other. Wedding party? Wasn't it the ghost that knocked on their door yesterday?
Fortunately, they found a "safe house" in the city as soon as they arrived, and spent Christmas Eve there.

According to the owner of the incense and candle shop, Xilai Inn is the safest place in the entire ancient city except for the Ye Mansion.

Even if you encounter a wedding procession, it won't be a big deal as long as you don't leave your room at night.

"Of course, after a while, not to mention the inn, even the Ye Mansion will not be safe."

The owner of the incense and candle shop said.

"why?"

"Haha, of course I can't suppress that resentful ghost."

The owner of the incense and candle shop shrugged and said:
"I guess many people have already wanted to escape, but unfortunately, with thousands of ghosts surrounding the city, it is easy to get into this wedding dress city but difficult to get out."

"The Taoist priest in the Ye Mansion had a big fight with the vengeful ghosts last night and was seriously injured. I think within half a month, this ancient city will become a mass grave."

Having said that, he glanced at Lin Mo and the others again and said with a smile:

"So, guests, if you want to buy night travel candles, you only have a few days to do so. If you miss this village, you won't be able to buy this store anymore."

Lin Mo realized the meaning behind his words: "You want to leave?"

"I'm not leaving, but I won't be open for business then."

The owner of the incense and candle shop narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"If you guys can survive by then, you can come to the shop."

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Mo asked again, but the other party did not answer.

Just then, a noise came from outside the door.

Lin Mo looked outside and saw that residents were indeed swarming in from the other end of the alley.

Soon, the entire empty alley was crowded with people, but these residents did not dare to break into the shops like Lin Mo and his friends did. They just pushed and shoved each other at the door of the shops to occupy a position.

When the owner of the incense and candle shop saw this scene, he walked out calmly and glanced around coldly.

With just one sentence, the residents in front of him quieted down.

"If you make another noise, get out of here and don't come back for three days!"

He said so.

The residents' faces suddenly turned pale.

There are more and more ghosts in the Night Parade of the Hundred Demons. Not to mention not sticking red talisman paper, even if you do, it is not 100% safe.

Last night, the red talisman papers of several families were torn by little ghosts.

When they opened the door during the day, they found that the entire family had died inside the house.

If you don't stick the talisman paper for three days, you will die.

The owner of the incense and candle shop who looked like an unscrupulous vendor in front of Lin Mo and others, was like a god with the power of life and death in front of the people of Wedding Dress City.

"Master Yang, do you still have the guide incense today?"

An old lady standing in front asked in a trembling voice.

The owner of the incense and candle shop glanced at her and said:
"Yes, can you afford it? One stick of incense for a guide, one thousand taels of gold!"

hiss~!

Not to mention the ordinary people around, even Lin Mo couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.

How come this thing is more expensive than an eternal lamp!
However, this is not the end. The owner of the incense and candle shop continued:
"Moreover, starting from today, the price of this guide incense will double every day." "After ten days, it will no longer be sold to the public."

Hearing this, many of the people turned extremely pale.

Lin Mo asked curiously, "What on earth is this guiding incense?"

The incense shop owner's expression changed instantly, he turned around and smiled:
"It's not a good thing either. Now there are hundreds of ghosts roaming in the night in Wedding Clothes City. If you want to get out, you must rely on the guidance of the guiding incense. Otherwise, leaving the city is tantamount to committing suicide."

Lin Mo suddenly understood and understood why this thing was so expensive.

The Wedding Dress City is already half a ghost town. Unless the remaining residents don't want to live anymore, who would be willing to stay here?

It turns out that it wasn’t that I didn’t want to leave, but that I couldn’t leave.

Long Ah spoke up at this time: "Boss, this is too unfair. You are selling something that can save lives at such a high price!?"

He looked very dissatisfied, and even overwhelmed with a sense of justice, and wanted to teach this old man a lesson.

Boss Yang smiled bitterly and said:

"It's not that I want to sell it so expensively, but the materials used in this thing are not ordinary things, so the price is naturally not cheap."

Long Ah frowned and said, "It's just a stick of incense, how expensive can the ingredients be?"

Boss Yang did not explain deliberately, but said lightly:
"If you want to buy guiding incense, you don't need to use silver. You can use good and evil points. 10 points of good and evil points can buy one guiding incense stick."

"Since you have good intentions, I won't stop you. Do you think these people are pitiful? Then use your good and evil points to buy incense for them. Maybe they will be grateful to you!"

Boss Yang looked at them with a smile.

Hearing this, the aunts and grandmas immediately looked at Lin Mo and others with hope.

And Long Ah fell silent instantly.

There are more people in Jiayi City than just the people in front of them. They have less than 200 points of good and evil in their pockets, which is not enough to unlock the checkpoints of Ye Mansion, let alone save these people?

Lin Mo frowned slightly, and seeing that something was wrong, he immediately said to the boss: "Boss, four lotus candles."

After saying that, he gathered all the copper and silver coins he had on him and threw them over.

Boss Yang laughed and took the money in one hand and handed over the goods in the other.

Lin Mo put the lotus candle into the storage ring, and said to the others, "Let's go."

The crowded alley entrance naturally could not stop them, and a few of them flew away from the incense and candle shop over the eaves.

Only after they walked away did Lin Mo angrily say to Long Ah:
"Weren't you in favor of 'massacre' last night? Why are you a good guy today?"

Long Ah muttered, "Yesterday is yesterday, today is today..."

In fact, it’s not Long’s fault for his change of mentality.

Even though they knew that these residents were just characters in the copy and not real people, after seeing the panic-stricken expressions on their faces, only a few people could bring themselves to kill them.

Lin Mo glanced at Chu Wange beside him, his face was calm, his expression did not change at all.

Of course, it's not impossible.

Lin Mo said: "Okay, let's save the good and evil points first, we still have money!"

For them right now, good and evil values ​​and money are the most important.

Following Lin Mo's order, the ghost-hunting team officially began the city search operation.

Before leaving, Yu Linglong beside Lin Mo's eyes flickered for a moment, and she looked in the direction of the alley where the incense and candle shop was, but finally said nothing.

……

"The attack method chosen by Lin Mo and the others is...very ordinary."

After seeing the actions of Lin Mo's team outside the field, Yan Nanfeng made this comment in his heart.

It’s not that it’s bad, but it’s similar to the route of most teams.

However, their cultivation base is relatively low. If they want to stand out among tens of thousands of foundation-building cultivators, taking the ordinary route is obviously not feasible.

"Haha, I told you, just kill the one who's in the way!"

At this time, Liu He's voice sounded in the chat channel:

"Now we can directly enter the Ye Mansion checkpoint, and even replace this useless Jindan. We just need to wait for the decisive battle to start in the evening!"

That’s right, among the several geniuses on the Liangyu List.

As a pure sword cultivator, Chu Qingyun led his team to fight very quickly and efficiently, killed the Jindan cultivator who blocked the way, and entered the main part of the copy.

At the earliest, it is expected that after nightfall, the ghosts outside the city will enter the city, and then they will be able to use Ye Mansion as a base and engage in a hearty battle with hundreds of ghosts.

Such efficiency is definitely much faster than Lin Mo and his team's step-by-step progress.

Of course, there is nothing we can do about it.

With the strength of Lin Mo and his group, it would be dangerous to kill this Jindan.

Even if Jindan is killed, he may not be able to deal with the subsequent Night Parade of Hundred Demons.

Lin Mo's team continued to search for ghosts in the city, and their good and evil values ​​increased steadily.

It’s no wonder that these players are quite strong and have a good level of tacit cooperation, so their ranking is rising rapidly.

Yan Nanfeng shook his head and sighed in his heart:
"In the spiritual world, standard answers don't get high marks."

The facts are just as these sword sect leaders expected.

Before nightfall, Lin Mo's team had collected enough silver to buy three lotus candles per person, and their good and evil value barely reached over 600 points, and the team's ranking successfully entered the top .

This ranking is not low, but it is still far from the place in the Spirit Washing Pool.

Their team's individual points ranking is still hovering around five or six thousand.

Yan Nanfeng estimated that if he was lucky, he might be able to make it into the top 3,000 before the end of the first round of dungeons.

As for the top 1,000, it depends on their performance in the future.

This result is actually not bad.

But there is no harm without comparison.

Compared with the other dozen or so talented teams on the Liangyu List shown on the live broadcast screen, their progress can be said to be far behind.

The good and evil value of the top team has reached more than one thousand points, and almost all the hidden ghosts in the city have been eliminated by them.

However, the most exaggerated thing was not this, but what happened after this night.

The gap between them and these top teams will continue to grow.

"Whether it's a dragon or a bug, we should be able to tell after this night."

A Sword Sect leader made this comment.

After he finished speaking, Mo Fengqing also said:
"The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is about to begin..."

Everyone cast their eyes towards the live broadcast screen of the copy, and then they saw the outskirts of the Wedding Dress City from a God's perspective. Evil ghosts with green faces and fangs crawled out of the mass grave and slowly walked towards the gates in two directions.

From their perspective, the situation at the moment seemed like countless ghosts had surrounded the entire Wedding City.

The strength of these ghosts is not comparable to those little ghosts who practice Qi during the day. The lowest one is at the foundation-building level.

The most terrifying group was the "wedding party" that came from the main gate in the south of the city.

Hundreds of dark shadows, beating drums and gongs, playing suonas, and carrying the flower bridge, entered through the gate one after another, and their destination was the Ye Mansion in the city.

At this moment, many of the top teams in the live broadcast were either lying in ambush on the road that they had to pass, or waiting in the Ye Mansion.

This also includes Yu Linglong's team...
