Chapter 398 Liars

"Why? Do you know why ghosts dare to appear in the ghost city blatantly? That's because the ghost city connects to the underworld, and the West City Gate is the gate connecting to the underworld. Do you understand why now?"

Seeing that we were in deep thought, the waiter closed the door and left without saying anything.

"I didn't expect that the ghost city and ghost city meant that." Ouyang Lan probably remembered what happened last night and was trembling all over.

I said, "I told you a long time ago, be careful, fortunately they have no intention of harming others."

Su Tong and Ouyang Lan bowed their heads together to admit their mistakes, "We know we were wrong."

After a while, the food was ready and served.

I saw that they knew they were wrong, so I didn't lose my temper with them, "Let's have a clean meal."

After resting in the inn for about half a day, after they fell asleep, I went out alone and went to find the Three-headed Buddha. Just as I was about to go out, the waiter walked up with a smile on his face. I thought to myself, did I feel that the tip was not given enough? The waiter said, "Call, please go out?"

"Yes, go out for a walk, are you doing something?"

"Nothing is wrong. Just giving you something, which may be helpful to you." The waiter took out two items like black copper coins in total, and said, "This thing was taken out by my uncle from the ground, but it works. Whenever he encountered that kind of thing, it would ding dong, and you can also know the other party's identity in advance."

My eyes lit up. This thing was so useful to me. I took it and went to pay for it. The waiter said repeatedly: "This is for you. If you have to give it to me, it's okay to give it some meaning."

The waiter saw that I was a generous person, but I should spend money on the right path. Since the waiter said that, I mean it. I put the pendant around my waist and smiled and said, "Take this aside."

"Your guest, please leave!"

I walked on the street with my horse, and the two coins on my waist were sometimes loud but not sometimes, and the sound was different, so I wanted to find someone to try it out.

I saw a serious woodcutter on the street and slowly approached him. The coins did not make any noise. I asked calmly: "Did you come from the West City Gate?"

The other party looked alert, "I'm not, are you?"

It seems that the waiter didn't lie to us. "I...of course not."

"That's good." The woodcutter sighed relieved, "What's wrong with you?"

"Is this the same communication in this city? It feels dead." I glanced around, and the faces seemed to be the same as the walking corpse.

"Shh-Don't talk nonsense." The woodcutter sighed, "How could you know the difficulty of life in a ghost town. In the ghost town, people cannot tell the difference between humans and ghosts. I met a friend on the street and found that it was a ghost when I took it home. People should not be scared to death, so people's interactions are less."

"I think there are quite a lot of people in the city."

"Those are ghost-handed tomb robbers, who specialize in making money from death, and some talented people outside the northwest border. Unlike the Pingming people like us who originally lived in ghost towns, they think that the more dead people and ghosts, the better."

I suddenly realized, "So that's it, then thank you for telling me so much."

"No need to thank you. I think you should be new. You must hide in the room in the middle of the night and not come out. There are people in the city who like to catch living people and refine corpses."

"Don't the government come to take care of it?"

"Who dares to take care of it? The city lord who took office last time was skinned within three days. His body was hung on the wall. His ghost was connected to a ghost and killed all his wife and sons." The woodcutter said more and more sadly, and almost burst into tears. "Shrimps like us are just cattle and sheep that they can slaughter."

I bid farewell to the woodcutter and continued to search for the Three-Headed Buddha. I didn't expect that the real ghost town looked like this. It seemed that the better I was traveling on the street, the better I lived. That is to say, those so-called capable people and strangers, if you are not sure, the Three-Headed Buddha is also a master, and you might be staring at us.

When I passed an intersection, I saw a fat white and tender man with big head and ears, with a bare chest and breasts exposed. He had a brown short-sleeved outer jacket with no buttons, a coarse cloth shorts on the lower body, and a pair of cloth shoes on his feet. He was swaying on the street and suddenly he caught a fancy to something on a stall. The person who bought the goods was a young man, who seemed not over thirty years old.

I think this person should not be a three-headed Buddha. Like Su Tong, she has lived for a hundred years. Because of her physical condition, she has maintained her youth forever. In Su Tong's impression, the three-headed Buddha is a mysterious figure. Then I think she should be a white-haired and hidden old man no matter what.

So I didn't take this guy into consideration, but planned to continue.

But when he walked past the stall, he was grabbed by the fat man. Looking at the fat man's kind-eyed look, he was just an old monk in his fifties. He had three skulls on his chest, and all his forehead was covered with a sky-turning seal.

The old monk said with a smile: "This little brother, please do me a favor. Look, I don't have enough money to buy something, so lend me some."

I said coldly: "Since you don't have money, don't buy it."

I dare to show such a rude trick in front of me. I lived in 2018 and I have never seen any tricks.

The old monk was anxious, "I really like this little brother. I hope you can lend me some help to solve your urgent needs. I will give you back in the future."

I said, "I don't have money to lend it to you. Even if I have money, don't bother me anymore. I have urgent matters to do."

"You guys... Oh, forget it, even if I have no fate with this thing." The old monk let go of me, "You go."

I was a little puzzled. Shouldn't I pull me to introduce the benefits of that "baby" to me? Now the scams are so clever and still know how to play hard to get? I thought to myself, seeing when can you pretend, I pulled the horse away. Unexpectedly, the monk left, and before leaving, he looked reluctantly a few times.

After he walked away, I took a turn and came back.

Asked the stall owner, "What are the fat monks buying here just now?"

"Yeah, aren't you two from the same group?"

"I don't know him at all."

"So that's it, this is what he wants to buy."

I saw that what he was referring to was a stone slab with words that I didn't know. It seemed that the age should be long ago.

I asked, "Do you know who that was just now?"

"He often comes here, how could he not know? He has three skulls with Buddha seals printed on his chest, so everyone calls him Three-headed Buddha, but I don't know the real name."

"ah?!"
