Chapter 30 Ghost City(1/2)
Chapter 30 Ghost Market
There is a strong surge in front of my eyes, and there is a whistling wind in my ears.
A word came to my mind inexplicably - lightning fast.
I could hardly open my eyes, and I was dragged down the mountain like a little doll.
This place is very close to the ghost market. It is like a grand festival for the living. The few big trees in the valley that are already sparse are also decorated with sporadic ghost fires on their branches. The green light penetrates the haze.
, at least it makes the place a little brighter. In the mist, you can vaguely see the figures in front of you, and the noise is endless.
Plop!
I was thrown to the ground. In front of me, a female ghost in white stood. Her clothes were thin and she was dancing with the wind. Her black hair was also dancing wildly. From a distance, she looked very fairy. Her clothes were fluttering and she wanted to ride on the wind.
Come on, isn't this the look of the banished immortal? Unfortunately, that face is really oozing with cracks...
"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to harm you."
The female ghost in white was worried that I would revolt, so she immediately spoke to comfort me.
In fact, her explanation was meaningless.
When she snatched me away from me halfway up the mountain, I only vaguely caught a glimpse of her face and knew who she was, so I never resisted. This was the third time we met since we met at the Yinren Inn.
Now that I have seen a lot, the fear in my heart has already faded away a lot.
"I thought you had let me go..."
I smiled bitterly, patted my belly again, and said, "You probably want this Earth Spirit Pearl, right? I can give it to you without any resistance, but you have to do me a favor. I still have two friends here.
On the mountain, no matter whether they are dead or alive, you bring them out first."
Once again I escaped from death. As I sit here, I don't feel lucky to have survived the disaster. I am only left with deep tiredness.
Ever since I got involved in this tomb, everything has gone wrong, and death has followed me like a shadow. One second ago, Brother Yaozi was chatting and laughing, but now he may have become a cold corpse. I am just an ordinary person, not even a macho man, and even a little weak.
, I really couldn’t stand these stimulations, and all my original ambitions had been completely wiped out long ago.
Tianguan Blade, Earth Spirit Pearl...
My father's eager expectations, the rise of the etiquette officer...
I really can't care anymore. Now I just have one thought, if I can save one person from dying, then one less person will die.
The female ghost in white looked at me with strange eyes, tilted her head and looked at it for a moment, then stretched out her hand in front of me.
These hands are pale and long. If there weren't those cracks on them, they might be pretty plain hands.
I was startled by my own thoughts. I turned my head away and didn't dare to look again. I took the other person's hand and got up from the ground.
Her hands were cold, without any warmth, like ice cubes.
"Actually, you are quite lucky. At least you have someone to help you, and you are still alive. You are stronger than me anyway, and you will not be able to live in peace even if you die."
The female ghost in white said this with a bit of self-deprecation, then reached out and pinched my face, showing a stiff and weird smile: "So, you should live as long as you can. As for the Earth Spirit Pearl, I wanted it before, but now you
I don’t dare to ask for it even if you give it to me. I just want you to live with this Earth Spirit Pearl. Without my permission, you can’t die even if you want.”
This time it was my turn to be surprised, and I said teasingly: "Why? Don't tell me it's because of love. I don't think I have that charm. There is no free lunch in the world."
"When you have the ability later, do something for me, something that only a courtesy officer can do. Anyway, you won't lose. After all, counting this time, I have saved you twice!"
The female ghost in white shrugged her shoulders and said: "Anyway, in my opinion, although it is difficult to wait for a living ceremony officer to grow up, at least there is a chance. If I do it myself, there is basically no chance. Okay, let's not talk about these gossips.
, I will take you through the ghost market first and send you to a safe place. Everything is in chaos here. You can't survive alone."
I looked at the mountain, a little hesitant. Although it would be useless if I ran back, I still felt that leaving the two of them there patting their butts and walking away was a bit unloyal. After all, they came here because of me, and they were just trying to survive.
I can't help my conscience.
"Don't worry, those two people won't die."
The female ghost in white picked me up and left: "None of the people your master has gathered is simple. You are the weakest and the easiest to die. Next, the person named Bai is the easiest to die. As for the people on the mountain,
Both of them have big secrets and many tricks!"
I don’t know how long this female ghost in white has been following me. She knows all the ins and outs of us. But the fact that Lao Bai is second to last really scares me. I thought Zhang Xinya should be the second to last. What’s wrong with that girl?
They all look like novices, no better than me!
The female ghost in white spoke firmly and told me clearly that if Zhang Xinya really died on the mountain, it would be fine if I didn't help her in the future.
Having said that, she must be 100% sure. Although I don't know exactly where her confidence lies, I feel a lot more at ease.
The female ghost in white didn’t explain any more and took me straight to the ghost market. The so-called most dangerous places are sometimes the safest. Compared to the gangsters patrolling in the thick fog, at least there were not too many things in the ghost market.
Strong desire to attack.
The fog is rolling in here, and the ghost market seems to be close at hand, but in fact there is still a long way to go. After staying together for a long time, I am no longer afraid of this female ghost in white, and I follow her every step of the way.
She was chatting.
However, the age of this woman's existence really shocked me. She said that she was from Xindu, Guangchuan during the Western Han Dynasty, which is probably near the current Jixian County, Hebei Province. She has existed for nearly two thousand years. She is like a thousand-year-old female ghost. No wonder
He didn't even buy the ferryman's fault, which is really awesome.
However, when I asked her name, she was silent.
"You can't even say your name?"
I yelled: "Don't tell me that you are still a role that will go down in history. You are famous all over the world and can be compared with the four beauties."
The female ghost in white became more and more silent.
I read something unusual from that broken face, and the smile gradually froze: "Is he really a famous actor?"
"The past is gone with the wind..."
The female ghost in white sighed and said, "You can call me Zhi Niang."
I responded vaguely, but seeing that she was not in a high mood, I didn't dare to ask any more questions.
While we were talking, we finally entered the ghost market.
There really is everything here, corpses, ghosts and demons are dancing wildly. After all, I am a big living person. I suddenly got into the ghost nest, and I couldn't help but feel fear in my heart. It was like a weak feeling. I just pulled the sleeve corner of the childish mother and stepped forward.
Don't dare to fall down.
The so-called ghost market is naturally a place where ghosts and monsters trade. They spend paper money burned by living people and buy the things they need. The atmosphere of life is very rich. Of course, this is only for things like corpses, ghosts and monsters, but for me
It's very uncomfortable to walk here.
"The soil from the grave of Beiyang Laofeng, which is five hundred years old, costs three coins per bag!"
"The coffin board of Emperor Tongzhi is the best bed in the world. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is just the same. There is no semicolon..."
"..."
The ghosts who trade here are very philistine, and they also know how to shout and sell, and bargainers can be seen everywhere. As for whether the things sold are genuine or fake, I don't know.
Of course, these are all normal things!
There is no good person who dares to gather here. They are all the kind of masters who are unwilling to enter the underworld and dominate the world. They look hypocritical when doing business here, but in fact they are very vicious, so this
Naturally, there were some things that made me uncomfortable in the ghost market.
For example, there was a skinny old man squatting on one side, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. My mother told me that this old man was a yellow-skinned man who had grown up in the weather. In front of him was a bloody thing wrapped in a rag.
Some people who were obviously animals turned spirits went up to inquire, and they found out that the rag was wrapped with a human heart, and it would not be sold here for money, but in exchange for the blood of a child...
There are too many transactions like this.
"Some resentful spirits harm people because they have resentment in their hearts and want revenge, but these things here are all scourges that poison the world of the world, and they deserve to die."
The young girl walked to a deserted place and whispered to me: "Look, this place is a bit remote, and no one will notice them hiding here. But running a ghost market in such a ostentatious manner will cause disaster sooner or later."
If some powerful cultivators discover them, they will rush in and eradicate them all in one night, and throw them all into the alchemy furnace to refine the elixir."
These words came from the mouth of a devil I knew, which really surprised me. I subconsciously asked: "Is it possible that you have never killed anyone?"
"I have done harm, but no one I harmed was innocent!"
The childish mother said expressionlessly: "I never kill innocent people indiscriminately."
She seemed to have the great ambition to train a ritual officer. She said to me with sincerity: "Jingzhe, if you have the ability in the future, don't regard all the Yin people who live in the Yang world as enemies. Some really deserve to die, but some do."
I don’t deserve to die, I think, whether it’s a living person or a dead person, there’s always a point to be made.”
These words touched my heart. Even though I knew she had other intentions, I still fell into deep thought. I have seen the old man of the Zhang family who turned into a spirit, and I have also seen the evil ghost who wants to take my life, so I am very concerned about these words.
In order to agree, no matter how big the world is, it can’t be bigger than a word of reason. Of course, I dare not express these thoughts. Although I still don’t understand what kind of world Xuanmen is, I can probably guess that this kind of thoughts are used in some people to eliminate demons.
In the eyes of those who regard it as their duty to defend Taoism, it is probably equated with deviance.
At this time, a burst of noise came from the front and woke me up. I looked up and saw that the place I passed by unknowingly was very lively. A lot of monsters and monsters were surrounding a place. A series of shouts and curses came from the ghosts.
.
"Ouch, you stinky scoundrel, if you touch me again, I will make you angry!"
"Do you know who I am? I have brothers all over the world. There are Taoist priests and ceremonial officers from Qingwei Dao. Please let me go quickly, or I will let my brothers bury you..."
"..."
To be continued...
