There are only two days before the so-called "performance" begins, and time always flies by. They didn't walk around like they did when they stayed in other places. After all, this place was not big to begin with, and the Demon Trapped Land took up only a small half of it. Furthermore, Tanghuan County doesn’t have much of its customs and customs – they had already experienced this when they first came here. Therefore, a few people just stayed in the inn in a daze.
They arrived late, and all available accommodation near the wall was occupied. It's farther here. Although it has two floors, you still can't see inside the high wall. But it doesn't matter, they will go in soon.
Zhou Pan did not stay in the inn with them, but he came to see them every night and chatted about random things. He probably went to inquire for information, and occasionally deliberately told some local information. Dai Luan started making noises, saying why he didn't share a room with Shan Hai because his guest room was very empty. Shan Hai said quietly that no matter how courageous he was, he would never dare to be alone in a room with a vixen who had been practicing for four hundred years. Zhou Pan said that he had his own place to rest and they didn't need to worry about it. It seems that the last time he stayed at the hotel was just for revenge.
Now is the time to repay the favor—to repay Liangzuki-kun.
They couldn't stay in bed tomorrow because they had to get a good spot the next day. In fact, they have no interest in those bloody fights. Anyway, as long as they can sneak in and let Zhou Dan find someone. However, he said, "All the money has been spent, so of course I want to get back the original money" before urging them to get up early.
"I heard that the first human to challenge the challenger since the establishment of this dog farm was actually not a human."
It was obviously late at night, and when they were about to go to bed, Zhou Pan stayed with them and poured a cup of tea.
"Is it a monster?" Dai Luan asked curiously.
"He is a six-path impermanent person."
"Eh?"
Mu Wan had just finished washing his face, picked up the basin and was about to pour water when he suddenly sat back when he heard these words.
"Do you know who Wu Chang is?"
"Of course I don't know." Zhou Pan shrugged, "But even though the Six Paths are impermanent and immortal, there are probably only two people who can compete head-on with powerful monsters."
"Xian..." Dai Luan only said one word and shut her mouth knowingly. But Zhou Pan shook his head and said no.
"Although they are not human beings, they are not monsters either. Strictly speaking, other impermanent ghosts are still in the category of humans. The only 'human beings' who can be put on the stage by force alone are Lord Shuangyue and Lord Kanna. Gu Jia Qianlong·Shuangyue Lord, during his lifetime He has unparalleled martial arts skills and is known to everyone as a Jianghu assassin, but his life is nourishing and makes people helpless. His Shura demon sword seals the demon blade, possesses it with demonic energy, and can take the head of an admiral among thousands of armies. Yin and Yang go to the stream ·Kanna-kun, four to five hundred years ago, even the eight gods could kill strange people. I was just born at that time, and I was lucky enough to grow up listening to such stories. His pair of scimitars, Yin-Yang-yue, were used by Shuiwu-kun to kill Yes, even the souls of all living beings killed by that knife will be wiped out."
"...Wow. So, can that knife kill the Six Paths of Impermanence?"
Zhou Pan frowned and looked at Dai Luan with a complicated expression.
"What are you thinking about in your little head all day long?"
"Ask, just ask..."
Shanhai just drove him away.
It was he who urged them to go to bed early, and it was he who lingered on so that they could not rest. What a freewheeling old fox.
The next day, they got up early as promised, but naturally there was no sign of Zhou Pan, so they might have gone to the scene. They took the time to pack their things and hurried over. Even so, when they came to the stone wall gate, the crowd was still overwhelming. After waiting in line for a long time, they finally arrived. Dai Luan took a special look at the people checking the tickets. There were two of them, but neither of them was the sloppy uncle.
But she didn't look for long - the uncle with the stubble was there, lazily maintaining order.
The description of what is really like a boat inside is the same as Shan Hai's speculation. There is nothing wrong, and no one can see any clues. Shan Hai said that although he didn't know what methods the people inside used to hide the magical artifacts arranged there, he could clearly sense that there was an indescribable field force here. The layout here is also very particular. Even the resting pavilion has hidden mysteries. Everything strictly follows the principles of the Five Elements and Bagua.
Naturally, this restriction is lifted once we reach the venue. There are two walls, one is the outermost one, which is very high; the other is the center where the monsters really fight, and there should be a place where they are imprisoned.
Although Dai Luan couldn't see them and didn't know where they were, she could always hear the faint screams. It was still daytime, but she shuddered. She held on to Mu Wan's clothes tightly, not daring to take even a step away from them.
The inner wall is a column, capped by a ceiling. The wall doesn't look high, but the inside has sunk a lot, and the combined height is almost the same as the outer layer. They found a seat slightly forward and sat down. At this time, Lin Shanhai said again that underground water was actually flowing beneath the entire arena.
"how do you know?"
"The humidity is very heavy. I saw the metal, wood, fire and earth outside, but there was no water, so I expected it to be here. Besides, you see, there is a lot of people here, and the yang energy is very strong, so it must be yin." Water is used to neutralize it to prevent too many spectators from affecting the performance of the fighting beasts. Only in the center of this depression can their power be fully exerted. Look carefully at the outer circle, and there are many colored lines painted on it, which are all mixed with water. Mixed with something special.”
It is really as sophisticated as a prison where criminals are imprisoned. It is so sophisticated that even humans feel scared.
Of course, only for them. The rabble who started shouting before the show started naturally knew nothing about it. Judging by their faces and attire, there are locals and outsiders; there are people who don’t wear clothes that cover their bodies, and there are people who are high-ranking officials and well-paid people. There is no special expensive away stadium here. It is a mixed bag of good and bad people and it is very lively.
"Humans are really noisy."
Zhou Pan did not know when he appeared behind them, slightly taller. Mu Wan asked him, have you found that person?
"Not yet. I'm not even sure who it is. But if we wait here, that person will show up."
"Are you so sure?"
"I am sure."
"I hope..." Mu Wan whispered, "I just want to leave this hellish place as soon as possible."
"I don't like it here either..." Dai Luan shouted, "There are too many people and it's too noisy, but it looks lively, but for some reason it's freezing cold."
"Do you feel cold?"
Zhou Pan, who was directly behind Dai Luan, patted her shoulder, and she suddenly felt less cold. So she reached out and grabbed a handful of the shoulders that Zhou Pan had just touched, and felt a layer of very light and soft gauze. It has no color and no weight. Aluan was surprised and asked what it was.
"You feel cold because your constitution is too yin. People around you don't feel it. You are the only one who is cold. You must be affected by the evil spirit. This gauze is sewn with the wings of the evil cicada, which can separate people from the breath of the outside world. .”
"Oh... like this."
"But..." Shanhai had some doubts, "I remember that it is also an extremely yin thing. Why can it be so effective?"
Zhou Pan smiled.
"You cut firewood in the dead of winter and wash your hands with cold water when you get home. Don't you think the water is warm? It's just relatively speaking. There are indeed some bad things here for this child's fate, more than It's beyond the limit of what she can bear. But apart from these evil spirits and yin energy, its own bit of chill is nothing."
Lin Shanhai was thoughtful and stopped talking.
It is said that when they used to sell tickets here, they would also tell you what kind of monsters were fighting so that you could place your bets. If you didn't tell them, everyone would know that someone was coming to "pick trouble". Those kind of tickets were called "empty tickets." . As a result, the tickets were sold out, and various versions were circulated in the streets. Everyone had fun guessing where it came from and what kind of person it was. However, there have been too many "empty tickets" in the past two years, most of which were gimmicks. Once you entered the venue, you realized that no warriors had stepped forward. They still randomly bring in two monsters and let you place your bets when they arrive on the field. People who don’t know enough about the shikigami and monsters of the Eastern and Western families don’t have the atmosphere to argue loudly or discuss in a low voice. Over time, this behavior became less interesting to people. This is also the main reason why Tanghuan County is still empty of 200 yuan - it can't do business.
"If you have shikigami you don't need, you can sell them to them, and you can get a good price." Zhou Dan said about the news he had learned in the past few days. Mu Wan frowned and sneered at this.
"I wonder how heartless a master would be to do such a thing."
"This is all money, girl." Zhou Pan replied to her, "People can even sell their wives and children for money, let alone shikigami. The only difference is that the price of monsters is higher. They also charge high prices to catch them from the wilderness. The monsters that arrived...ah, it's begun."
The crowd became more noisy, and Zhou Pan didn't need to raise his finger. The three of them turned their heads and looked at the field below. People high up on the edge were still chattering about something, but their voices were not loud and were drowned out by the noise of the crowd. Perhaps most of the guests here already know what they are talking about. Then, the iron doors on the edge of the stands on both sides were raised like a guillotine's knife, making a harsh friction sound.
The two metal railing doors were lifted up, and the low roar like a beast gradually became clearer. People closed their mouths and stared at the venue with some expectation, without blinking their glasses.
After the two players came on stage, the stands were filled with boos and boos.
"...I think this is an ordinary animal." Mu Wan frowned and looked at it for a long time.
"I also think... it's just that the orangutan is a little bigger and the wild boar's tusks are a little longer. Although the pair of tusks are a bit unique, some of them are too curled and should not be suitable for fighting." Dai Luan also said.
"I can't feel any demonic energy from them." Shan Hai turned around and glanced at Zhou Pan, "It feels like they just captured the beasts in the mountains and made money under the banner of fighting demons."
Zhou Pan shook his head.
