Chapter 180: On the eve of entering the market
"The massacre of the village!?"
Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked around without people, lowered his voice and said:
"You...... Refers to ......"
"It's more than a hundred years ago, when the gluttony of rebirth ate an entire village. Lu Xingyue looked at Jiang Yao and said bluntly.
"This matter is not a secret, not only the 'Lingyutai', but everyone in the entire underground rivers and lakes knows it, and it is precisely because of the big incident he made back then that he exposed his identity and was caught by the 'Lingyutai'. ”
Lu Xingyue sighed.
"I heard that the 'Lingyutai' sent a large number of elites to surround and suppress him, and it was the closed disciple of the leader of the 'Lingyutai' that year, that is, the current leader of the 'Lingyutai' - Lu Jingyi. As for how Lu Jingyi tamed him to work for the 'Spirit Imperial Terrace' after he captured the glutton, no one knows. ”
"I couldn't believe it all the time...... I always felt that there might be something else going on in the events of that year. Jiang Yao hesitated for a moment and said. "And in any case, at least now he is definitely not an innocent person, I can be sure of that. ”
"Really...... But I think it's better not to be too optimistic. Lu Xingyue shook her head and said. "Maybe in this world, no one can know what he is really thinking......"
"Hmph, how can a big demon like him, who has lived for tens of millions of years, be judged by the little concept of your mere human beings?"
The cold and arrogant voice sounded from the two of them without warning, startling Lu Xingyue, who turned his head to look and found that the three-legged black had appeared at the counter at some point, observing with interest the "candy tree" that had been left behind.
"Is this human food? It's interesting. ”
The three-legged black carefully stretched out his hand, picked a string of sugar gourds from the "candy tree", and looked at it in front of his eyes.
"That's it...... Can you humans have enough to eat?"
The three-legged black said, his eyes turned, and he cast his inquiring gaze on Lu Xingyue, but he was meeting Lu Xingyue's contemptuous eyes.
"Heh, this thing is just a child's snack, who will take it as a meal?" Lu Xingyue said angrily.
"Children's snacks......" In the face of Lu Xingyue's ridicule, the three-legged black did not get angry, he looked at the sugar gourd in his hand, and then looked at Lu Xingyue who looked disgusted next to him, and suddenly stretched out his hand and handed the sugar gourd to Lu Xingyue.
"Here you go. Three-legged black said.
"Ah, why do you want to give it to me?" Lu Xingyue was inexplicable.
"Isn't this a child's snack?" The three-legged black looked at Lu Xingyue with a natural look. "Take it, I promised Bluebird to take care of you. ”
"Huh???Who wants you to take care of me!And I'm twenty years old!Don't treat me like a little kid, okay??"
Lu Xingyue was so angry and annoyed that she couldn't complain anymore, while the three-legged black snorted coldly and said expressionlessly:
"Twenty years old, hehe, I'm more than two thousand years old, and you will always be a child in my eyes. ”
"You!"
Lu Xingyue's face turned red with anger, but she couldn't refute it at all, and the three-legged Wu saw that Lu Xingyue didn't mean to take the sugar gourd, so he sighed and stupidly inserted the sugar gourd back into the "candy tree". However, he soon found another colorful piece of corrugated candy on the "candy tree", and a crooked pink pig was printed on it, so after observing it for a long time, the three-legged black took down the corrugated candy again and sent it to the fast-fried Lu Xingyue:
"Eat?"
"Don't!!"
……
"......" looked at the two people around him who were inexplicably fighting, Jiang Yao couldn't cry or laugh, but the warning sound of "gurgling" in his stomach reminded him that he didn't have time to watch the excitement here, after all, what he had to face next was an unknown test, and an empty stomach was not always a solution.
Didn't the proprietress say that she wanted to replenish the goods, why hasn't she come yet, the ship is about to dock......
Jiang Yao was muttering, and suddenly heard a rush of footsteps running towards the commissary, looked up, and found that "Cao Cao Cao will arrive", it was the commissary proprietress holding a bag of food snacks who came.
"Oh, this little brother has been waiting for a long time! I just went to the warehouse to take a look, and there are only these bread and biscuits left, do you want to eat anything?" the proprietress greeted Jiang Yao warmly, and by the way, she stuffed the bag in her hand in front of Jiang Yao.
"Ah...... Then I'll take a loaf of bread. Jiang Yao glanced at the riverbank wharf that was already close at hand, and he didn't want to be entangled, so he took out a piece of bread and handed it to the proprietress after taking out a piece of bread.
"Oh, I can't find this money...... Do you have change?" the proprietress touched her body for a long time, and finally spread her hands, indicating that she was a little embarrassed, and at this time the whistle of the dock had already sounded, and at the same time there was the impatient urging of the captain of the boat:
"It's time to get off the boat! Just stop for two minutes!"
"Jiang Yao, let's go down first, you should hurry up. Lu Xingyue said, as if she had finally found a chance to get out, she hurriedly left the three-legged black and "escaped" off the boat, and the three-legged black glanced at Jiang Yao, and did not talk nonsense, and then followed Lu Xingyue and left.
"Boss, I'm going to get off the boat, if you really can't find the money, forget it. ”
Seeing that his companions had disembarked, Jiang Yao didn't dare to rub it, picked up the bread and was about to leave, but was stopped by the proprietress in a hurry.
"Oh, this little brother, alas, I'm a serious businessman, I can't just stop looking for money for you, if this spreads, how will I do business in the future?
"No, I really don't need it, I can't fit it in my bag......" Jiang Yao looked at the fewer and fewer passengers around him, his face was a little anxious, but his arm was dragged by the five big and three thick boss lady, and he really couldn't leave for a while.
"That'...... Otherwise, Auntie, I'll give you something, and I'll go here to find money. The proprietress said, took out a black oval stone from her coat pocket, and stuffed it into Jiang Yao's hand.
"Auntie told you, this stone comes from the top of Kunlun Mountain, and it has been soaked in the essence of the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains for 7749 days, and it has been opened by 99 eminent monks and mages!"
"Auntie was reluctant to give it to you, but I see that your Yin Tang is black and your eyes are heavy, I am afraid that there will be a bloody disaster, so I specially gave it to you!
"Uh...... Okay, okay, thank you boss lady......" Jiang Yao said casually, and he didn't have the heart to continue to entangle with the boss lady, so he casually put the black stone like a duck egg into his pocket.
"You're welcome~ In this place of Xudu, people like you who are unlucky should be extra careful! But now with this super evil stone, you will definitely be able to save the day, rest assured!"
The proprietress said with a grin, and then finally let go of the hand that was holding Jiang Yao, who was immediately relieved, and quickly ran out of the commissary, and left the ferry as if fleeing amid the "ultimatum" of the boat boss.
"I said, why are you so slow?"
As soon as he ran off the boat, Jiang Yao saw Lu Xingyue coming up, and there were three-legged black and gluttonous standing next to him, but at this time, the food in Taotao's hands had already been "eliminated" by him, and Taotao's face was still that lazy, obviously those foods were not enough for him to fill in the gaps.
"Heh, look at your useless look, take it. ”
Gluttony looked at Jiang Yao's embarrassed appearance, and smacked his lips with disdain, but before Jiang Yao could recover from his breath, he felt that something was stuffed in his hand, and when he saw that it was a pack of children's biscuits, he was speechless.
"Hurry up and eat, and hurry away after eating. As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to notice something, and turned his head to look at the direction of the "ghost town" in front of the riverside wharf.
"There seem to be a lot of people over there, so lively early in the morning?"
Lu Xingyue looked at the crowd gathered at the entrance of the "ghost town" in front of her, and couldn't help but be a little curious. Jiang Yao looked up as he walked, and found that those people were dressed in all kinds of strange costumes, some dressed as Taoist priests, some dressed as ghosts, and there seemed to be people carrying sedan chairs...... There are hundreds of people, gongs and drums shake the sky, suona sounds in unison, and it is not lively.
"Yesterday, the taxi driver said that there was a folk parade on the day of the Qingming Festival, so I guess this is it?" Lu Xingyue said.
"It should be, but ......" Jiang Yao paused, and soon found that not everyone in that group of people was so strangely dressed, and there were many seemingly ordinary tourists, threes, twos, threes, twos, threes, two
"Those people, they should be with us for the same purpose, right?" Jiang Yao quietly glanced at Lu Xingyue, who nodded tacitly, obviously seeing the clue.
"Let's be careful, it's not necessarily the guys who come here who have 'ghost market invitations', maybe there are a lot of people just waiting to grab the invitation. Lu Xingyue whispered.
Jiang Yao nodded, and carefully brushed the "Ghost Market Invitation" in his arms. Now he doesn't plan to be stolen a second time, and if he accidentally makes a disturbance here, he is afraid that he will be targeted by the organizers of the "ghost market". You must know that there are still two "great gods" in their team this time who are not welcome with the "ghost market", so all they can do is to try to be as inconspicuous as possible, but the premise is ...... The two "gods" themselves can keep a low profile first.
"I said, your aura is too obvious, and we will expose me with it. ”
Just thinking about it, the voice of gluttony came from the front, Jiang Yao looked up, but found that gluttony was in his trouser pocket, confronting the three-legged black with a dissatisfied face.
"I've suppressed my breath to the lowest, but you, still exude the stench of fierce beasts, and if you want to say that it is you who affect me. The three-legged black sneered.
"Hehe, why don't we try? Let's see who will be the first to be spotted in the middle of that pile?" the gluttony stretched out his hand and pointed at the crowd in the distance, looking defiant.
"Hmph, accompaniment. ”
The three-legged black said coldly, turning around and walking towards the crowd. And seeing that the two of them were about to stir up trouble, Jiang Yao was about to hold his forehead, but just as he was about to persuade him, he heard a hoarse and unfamiliar voice suddenly coming from behind him:
"Two little brothers, aren't you here...... Participating in the "Ghost Market"?"
