Chapter 182 The Secret of the Weird City

"Humph, you're looking for death!"

After the entire candle shop and the underground soil were eaten clean by the gluttonous ghosts, the ruthless shop owner was finally killed.

Soon the time for the magic talisman to work ended, and the power of Gluttony and Trick gradually dissipated.

The iron man statue also returned to its original state, with only a pit in front of it and nothing else.

But at this moment, a large number of strange things began to gather here on the street.

Obviously, the battle just now has triggered the reaction of Wei Shi. These weird things are gathering here, obviously trying to eliminate him as an unstable factor.

"cut!"

However, Lin Feng was not afraid at all, and he waved Fang Tian's painted halberd with his backhand to kill the strange people around him.

"when!"

But at this moment, a black hand appeared out of thin air and stood in front of his Fang Tian Painted Halberd.

Then more black hands appeared out of thin air and grabbed various parts of the strange iron figure. These black hands possessed some kind of special strange power, and the Fangtian Painted Halberd made by Lin Feng was unable to cut it.

"Don't force me!"

Noticing these special iron figures with black hands, he took out five black jade and dark gold talismans again, and at the same time, he looked towards the other end of the dark street.

The black hands around him suddenly stopped when they saw the strange iron figure taking out five black jade and dark gold talismans.

Lin Feng could clearly sense that there was a powerful presence in the darkness of the street, and that he was controlling the black hands around him.

After a while, a large number of black hands who appeared out of thin air slowly disappeared, and then a dry, hoarse voice came from the dark street corner: "This will not happen again!"

"This time he deceived me first, and he deserves to be killed by me!"

Lin Feng looked at the darkness and spoke slowly, but this time the other party did not reply to him, but simply disappeared from Lin Feng's perception.

As the mysterious existence disappeared, the weirdness surrounding Lin Feng gradually dissipated, and soon everything returned to normal except for a pit left at the edge of the street.

After this incident, Lin Feng also lost interest in buying things in the market, so he waited there.

"Oh~oh~"

Soon the sky was getting brighter, the rooster was crowing, and everything in Guishi began to become unreal.

Lin Feng himself also appeared on a yellow mud road again, and the surrounding white mist gradually dissipated, indicating that he had left the scope of Guishi.

Looking at the scenery of the surrounding mountain villages, Lin Feng directly asked the Iron Man to return by himself.

Lin Feng, who was lying on the bed in the tombkeeper's wooden house, slowly opened his eyes. His experience in Guishi tonight made him aware of something.

"There must be someone behind the strange market. Those shops seem to be consistent with the inheritance of Tiangong Baijiao. According to the memory of the sheepherder, there are other streets besides that street."

"If I'm not wrong, someone deliberately used the Strange Market to gather the craftsmen of the Heavenly Craftsmen and let them open shops in the Strange Market to sell all kinds of weird things..."

"I just don't know why the shops in the strange market gradually turned into those ghostly looks!"

Lin Feng sat up from the bed and began to reason about what he had seen.

There were two main reasons why he thought so. The first was the coffin shop he saw.

The old man in the coffin shop is obviously a living person, while the shopkeepers in other shops are neither human nor cunning.

This situation can be seen as the two states of the shopkeeper in the strange market. In the early stage, he is still the one who controls the strange, and can ensure that he belongs to the consciousness and mental state of a living person.

In the later stage, when the body decays or a method is found to fuse consciousness with the cunning, it finally becomes a state that is neither human nor cunning.

The most striking characteristic of being in that state is that you lose your humanity. The owners of candle shops, pawn shops, food shops, etc. are all in that state.

The second reason was the existence he met hiding in the shadows. The other person obviously still had consciousness and appeared after he destroyed the candle shop.

The reason for showing up is naturally to maintain the stability of the Gui City, but when Lin Feng takes out more black jade and dark gold talismans, the other party may not be sure what Lin Feng will summon again.

If the fuss gets too big, other stores will definitely be affected, so the other party will give him a warning and then leave.

Based on these two points, Lin Feng has been able to deduce that the existence of Gui Shi is not accidental, but has a deeper purpose.

"If I have time in the future, I can go there a few more times. There are many special shops in the market that will be useful to me. After all, the money in my hand is meaningless if I don't spend it."

After figuring out some things, Lin Feng more or less guessed the purpose of the existence of some strange markets.

So he put down some worries in his heart and just went when he had to go.

——————

The two armies were still confronting each other at the junction of Linzhou and Mingzhou, but the battle did not break out again after the last bloody battle.

Occasionally, there were attacks on camps or battles between scouts from both sides, but these were kept to a small scale.

"Have there been any replies from those who went to Heyuzhou?"

In the camp, Li Yanbing looked at the soldiers who hurried in and immediately asked.

"My lord, the governor of Yuzhou has spread the news that we want to form an alliance with King Mu, but there is no response yet."

The soldier immediately replied to Li Yanbing.

"Okay, I understand, please step back first."

"yes!"

After receiving this news, Li Yanbing fell into deep thought. At present, they were blocking the front line of King Li's westward expansion. If they only competed in consumption, they would definitely not be able to win.

Even if their main combat power was the heavy-armored paper figures that did not need to eat, drink or rest, it would not work, because the recruited soldiers needed to consume food and grass continuously.

Although the soldiers could not fight against King Li's army head-on at this stage, they would gradually form a strong combat power after training and equipping them with the captured iron ghost infantry armor and ghost soldiers.

So even for training, she had to bite her teeth and squeeze out food and grass from other places.

However, they could not persist for a long time relying on their two states, so she decided to form an alliance with King Mu after discussing with Jiao Yong and others.

King Li and King Mu both had ambitions for the world and both had the legal right to inherit the Great Xia Dynasty. The two sides were real mortal enemies!

So according to Li Yanbing's estimation, King Mu would definitely be willing to form an alliance with them.

Once they were able to form an alliance, King Mu would never allow King Li to continue to expand, and would definitely give them some support.

Li Yanbing, a soldier and general, did not dare to hope for it, but the other party was willing to give some ordinary things such as food and supplies.

"It's a pity that Yuzhou in the west surrendered to King Mu first, otherwise our three states might not have the capital to fight for the world!"

At this time, Jiao Yong walked into the tent and said to Li Yanbing.

"Is it easy to fight for the world?"

"If I dare to claim the throne now, I will be attacked by King Li and King Mu from both sides. At that time, the destruction of my family and the death of my family will be the least of my worries!"

"But if I don't claim the throne, people with ambitions in the world will not come to us."

Li Yanbing was very clear-headed. She knew her current situation very well. It was not easy to protect herself in the current situation. If she had the idea of ​​claiming the throne, the final outcome would definitely not be good!
