Chapter 7 I Actually Know a Little About Narration

The next day, Xiao Yi said goodbye to everyone and went deep into the swamp alone.

He planned to cross the swamp. Only by crossing the swamp and stepping out of the border of Fengling Kingdom could he avoid the cultivators who were chasing him because of the bounty.

As they walked deeper and deeper, the fog became thicker and thicker, and Xiao Yi had to slow down.

Perhaps it was God's will! He actually lost his way in the fog, and when he realized it, he was already standing on a high ground.

Looking around, everything was shrouded in fog. Even if the power of the patterns was added to the eyes, one could only see a few feet away.

"Maybe I should stop traveling. If I run into a group of monsters, my life or death will be in danger," Xiao Yi muttered, preparing to find a place to hide.

Obviously, this isolated high ground is not an ideal choice as it is not a good place to hide.

Suddenly, something strange happened. The high ground began to shake, and then cracks began to appear along the top of the high ground.

A dragon claw broke through the cracked soil and stretched out from under Xiao Yi's body. There was no doubt that Xiao Yi was caught red-handed.

"Human!" A cold low roar came from under the soil, forming a circle of sound waves that shook the soil away, and a huge dragon-shaped monster appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes.

If Su Yueyu was here, she would definitely recognize it at a glance. This dragon-shaped monster was the Chilong that the Ten Kings of Hell wanted to seal in the underworld.

"Dragon..." Xiao Yi was stunned. This was a monster that could only be seen in ancient scrolls. Who would have thought that he would encounter one in this foggy, damp and cold swamp?

The huge dragon head faced Xiao Yi, and its hot breath sprayed on his face. The image of being swallowed into the mouth had already formed in Xiao Yi's mind.

He even gave up resisting. In front of such a huge monster, his courage was completely destroyed.

"Human! Answer my questions, and I may consider letting you live longer," Chi Long's words ignited hope in Xiao Yi who was waiting to die.

But the next question made Xiao Yi stunned, because not long ago, Le Jinxi and others who saved him also asked the same question.

"What? Is it difficult to answer?" Chi Long asked coldly with his bloody mouth wide open.

"No... not difficult," Xiao Yi came back to his senses and said slowly: "This continent is called Qingyun Realm, divided into the East and West Realms, governed by four countries. Humans can practice by absorbing the pattern power in the air and condensing the life pattern..."

After a long and chatty introduction, Xiao Yi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. He could sense that Chi Long was thinking.

After a long while, Chi Long said, "Your answer can allow you to live one more month. I hope you can extend this month."

He let out a long roar towards the sky, and a dragon roar resounded in all directions. The coiled body of Chilong rose into the air, grabbed Xiao Yi and disappeared into the mist.

……

"Your Majesty, according to the report from the spies stationed in Fengling Country, General Xiao Kun of Fengling Country was stripped of his military power due to his eldest son's involvement. However, because of his numerous military achievements, he was not guilty of the same crime and was exiled to the border city to guard the gate to make meritorious contributions..."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" In the main hall of the Xuanyou Kingdom's palace, Emperor Ye fell into deep thought as he listened to the visitor's report. He did not come back to his senses until the visitor called him.

"The general of Fengling Kingdom was exiled to the border town?" Ye Huang frowned and paced back and forth, asking, "Zhongxuan, what do you think about this?"

Li Chongxuan, who was standing in the palace, heard the voice and replied: "Your Majesty, if your Majesty feels that this matter is suspicious, you can send people to investigate. If this matter is true, send people to kill Xiao Kun, and then march to the border. Without this great general, we will see how they can stop our cavalry."

Ye Huang's eyes lit up and he nodded: "Who do you think is suitable to send?"

Without any hesitation, Li Chongxuan said directly: "It is impossible to kill Xiao Kun with ordinary people. It is most appropriate to send Lord Gui Tu. His men were all brought over from there, and their strength is unquestionable."

"Great! That's exactly what I want. Come, tell the Ghost Slayer envoy to come here," Emperor Ye gave an order, and someone went to announce the decree.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the eunuch who went to announce the decree came back alone and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, Master Gui Tu is not in the palace. According to the servants, Master Gui Tu went to Fengling Country."

"Oh!" Ye Huang was slightly surprised and waved his hand to let the eunuch go. Then he quickly wrote a secret letter and handed it to Li Chongxuan: "Send someone to give the letter to Gui Tu."

"Yes, I'll go now," Li Chongxuan took the letter and left quickly.

……

Le Jinxi and Su Yueyu walked side by side after leaving the Wanli Swamp. As for the Black and White Impermanence, they entered the Book of Life and Death on the grounds that they were not light bulbs.

In fact, who knows if it’s because they have lost a thousand years of cultivation and are not very adapted to the sunlight.

After all, there was no fog outside the swamp to block the sunlight for them.

Yujian City, located near the Wanli Swamp, was a city specially built to resist the beast tide. It was also the first city that Le Jinxi and his friends encountered.

It was already dusk when they entered the city. The setting sun shone obliquely on the streets, giving Le Jinxi the illusion that he was in a movie scene.

Especially the weathered walls and streets, which made him sigh: "What a beautiful place! If I shoot a movie here, it will definitely be a big hit."

"There are unexpected changes in the weather, and people are subject to misfortunes at any time. My young friend, I see that your forehead is dark and your eyes are bloodshot. It seems that you are in a hopeless disaster. Are you willing to listen to my nagging?"

In the corner of the street, there was a banner with the words "Duyuan Huaehuo" written on it. An old man with white hair and beard and wearing a torn Taoist robe was looking at him with a smile.

Strangely enough, there was an old yellow cow lying next to the old man. It looked drowsy, but Le Jinxi always felt that it was very spiritual.

Le Jinxi looked around, pointed at himself and asked, "Old man, are you talking to me?"

"Of course," the old man released his hand that was stroking his beard and nodded slightly.

Le Jinxi thought for a moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he cleared his throat and said: "To be honest, I have learned a little fortune-telling. Seeing your eyebrows are long and your nose is prominent, you should be a person with no worries about food and clothing, but now you are so miserable, I think it must be the bad star that has disturbed your luck."

"I see. What do you think, young man?" Although the old man knew he was talking nonsense, he still cooperated with him with great interest.

Le Jinxi looked at him carefully, and finally fixed his eyes on the old yellow cow beside him, and asked: "Has this yellow cow been following you all the time?"

Seeing the old man nod, Le Jinxi continued, "That's right, the evil star comes from it. Look at the cracks on its horns and the green light hidden in its pupils. It must be possessed by the evil star."

After a pause, Le Jinxi sighed and continued with an embarrassed look: "Alas! How about this! Since we are destined to be together, I will be a good person to the end. I will help you with this yellow cow. I believe that in less than a month, your luck will turn around and you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Su Yueyu, who was standing by, looked at him with her red lips half-open, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be so capable that you know this."

Le Jinxi quickly winked at her and whispered, "What's so great about this? That's all nonsense."

“……” Su Yueyu stood there in a daze for a long time before she helplessly raised her middle finger towards Le Jinxi.

Le Jinxi was embarrassed: "Haha! I didn't expect you also knew this gesture."

"Ahem!" The ignored old man coughed, interrupting them.

"Alas! This old friend has followed me for decades. How can I have the heart to abandon him? Let him be in poverty! How many years can he still live?" The old man stretched out his hand and gently stroked the cow's back.

Seeing that the old man had made up his mind, Le Jinxi had no choice but to give up. After a few words of greeting, he took Su Yueyu away.

The old man's eyes were fixed on their departing figures, and he muttered, "Beauty is a disaster. Let's see how you can escape this disaster."

"Oh! I thought I could cheat a cow for some money, and then find an inn to have a good meal and a good sleep. But now it seems I can only sleep on the streets," Le Jinxi looked at Su Yueyu pitifully, looking like someone begging for support.

"You...why are you looking at me? I don't have any money. Besides, even if I do have some, it's ghost money. Will people here accept it?" Su Yueyu quickly waved her hands to explain.

"Yeah! We still don't know what the coins in this world look like! We need to find someone to ask."

Not long after, they appeared in a shop. The shop assistant was stunned by Su Yueyu's beauty for a few breaths. After coming to his senses, he came forward to greet the two of them enthusiastically.

"Gentlemen, feel free to choose whatever you need. Our store is famous for its high quality and low prices."

"Uh..." After a moment of silence, Le Jinxi pointed to a long sword: "This."

"Okay, this sword is for two hundred crystals. Since this is your first time here, I'll give you a discount! How about one hundred and eighty crystals? Isn't that a cheap price?" As he said that, the waiter had already taken the sword off the shelf.

"Sir, do you want me to wrap it for you?"

"Haha!" Le Jinxi smiled awkwardly and said weakly, "Actually, we are here to sell things. We just came to see if your prices are reasonable."

"Oh, I see! Don't worry! The prices here are the most reasonable. Take out the things you want to sell! I'll help you estimate the price," the guy stretched out his hand and waited for Le Jinxi to take the things.

This really stumped Le Jinxi. He had nothing on him now. In his anxiety, he glanced at the skull on the corner of the shelf. His eyes lit up, and he pointed at it and asked, "Is that also a commodity?"

The guy looked in the direction he pointed and said, "Of course it's merchandise. These are parts from a ghost skeleton. Some ghost cultivators can't even find them. They're very expensive!"

"It's still expensive! How many crystals are they worth?" Le Jinxi asked hurriedly, because he remembered that the explosive man left behind two ghost skeletons after his death, which were later taken into the Book of Life and Death by Bai Wuchang.

"This skull alone is worth five hundred crystals. If it was a complete ghost skull, it would cost at least two thousand crystals..." The guy was talking excitedly, but when he turned around, he found that Le Jinxi and Su Yueyu were gone.

Not long after, Le Jinxi and Su Yueyu came to the store again, but he had an extra ghost skull in his hand: "Hey, man! I want to sell this."

The guy was so angry! Now when he heard Le Jinxi's voice, he wanted to beat him up.

However, when he saw the ghost skull in Le Jinxi's hand, his face instantly lit up with joy.

In the end, the guy was deeply moved by Le Jinxi's shameless acting skills, and since the quality of the ghost skeleton was good, he bought it at a high price of three thousand crystal stones.

After leaving the store, Le Jinxi weighed the bag of crystals in his hand and smiled cheerfully: "Hey! Sister Yu, we don't have to sleep on the street anymore. Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
