“……！？”

Hearing Chen Siyi suddenly ask such a direct question, Jiang Yao almost squirted out another sip of tea.

"What...... cough cough cough ...... What are you talking about...... Ahem...... I don't understand what you mean......" Jiang Yao looked away with a weak heart, and pretended to be at a loss on his face, after all, the fact that he has a special physique is not something that can be revealed at will.

"It's useless to pretend to be stupid, Uncle Yun has already told me. Whether it's your business or the red-haired man's business. Chen Siyi sat back in his chair, hugged his arms, and returned to his usual capable expression on his face.

"That red-haired man is actually one of the "Four Fierce Beasts" who was subdued by Lingyutai, gluttonous. And since you can accept his demonic power 'Spirit', then you can only be a 'colorless physique' who can tolerate the 'fierce attribute', right?"

"'Spirit' or something...... You also saw it when I was in Weiyang, I don't have mana at all......"

Jiang Yao continued to pretend to be innocent while figuring out the other party's intentions. In the middle of the entanglement, he suddenly felt a strange air flow suddenly rise in the room without wind, and when he looked up, he found that the air flow was not formless, but showed the posture of a white dragon, gently coiling beside Chen Siyi.

"You can 'see' my Shishen 'Bai Jiao', and you still say that you have no mana?"

It seemed to catch Jiang Yao's surprised gaze, and Chen Siyi's voice added a little more conviction, and Jiang Yao also reacted that he was being tested by the other party at this time, and his face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

"Hey, you don't have to be so guarded, if I really want to be unfavorable to you, I won't pick you up from Changyou Mountain in the first place. ”

Chen Siyi sighed, waved his hand to put away Shishen, and raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yao again. "Don't worry, I'll keep your physique secret for you. I just want to know, what happened to you after you went to Changyou Mountain that day......? How did you recover?"

"What was the situation that day...... It's a bit special, I was also in the battle with that headless demon Gu, and I accidentally recovered my qi veins, it's hard to explain. ”

At the moment when he was seen through by Chen Siyi, Jiang Yao felt that he couldn't hide it anymore, but he couldn't say too much, so he could only reply vaguely. But fortunately, Chen Siyi is not the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of things, and seeing that Jiang Yao was reluctant to say more, he didn't ask any more.

"Okay...... Straight to the point. Since you're here, I happen to have something for you. Chen Siyi said, carefully took out a delicate crystal bottle from his handbag, and put it in front of Jiang Yao.

"What is in this is the bounty prize of the original 'corpse mutiny case' 'Continuation Pulse Grass'. Chen Siyi pointed to the slender emerald green herb in the crystal bottle and said. "Although this thing is useless to you now, if it is sold on the auction market, it should be no problem to sell it for millions, so you can collect it. ”

"Since it's a precious herb, let's leave it to those who really need it. ”

Jiang Yao looked at the crystal bottle in front of him, reached out and gently pushed the bottle back in front of Chen Siyi. "Besides, thanks to your help before, I was able to get out of Changyou Mountain smoothly, compared to this kindness, my actions in the Chen family's mansion are nothing at all. ”

"Things are one yard to one yard, since our Chen family has a reward, how can we not believe what we say?" Chen Siyi frowned, pushed the crystal bottle over again, and insisted. "This can involve the business reputation of our Chen family, please be sure to accept it. ”

"This ......" Seeing Chen Siyi's serious appearance, Jiang Yao couldn't cry or laugh, he thought about it, and then changed his words, and said again:

"If you have to pay me...... It's okay, but I wonder if we can replace it with another form?"

"Another form?" Chen Siyi's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. "What do you want? cash, or a treasure, as long as our Chen family can do it, I will definitely find a way to satisfy you." ”

"I don't want money, and I don't want any curiosities. Jiang Yao shook his head lightly and said. "I just want to know the information about this year's 'ghost market' in the capital of Xudu. ”

"'Ghost Market'!?" Chen Siyi's face changed and he blurted out. "Are you going to ......?"

"Well, I'm going to participate in this year's 'Ghost Market' in the capital of Xudu, in order to find out something. Jiang Yao paused and said.

"Since the Chen family's business involves the world of the Stranger, then they must also know something about the situation of the 'Ghost Market', right? Before this departure, I want to know more about the 'Ghost Market' to prepare, especially ...... The rumored 'special rules' of this year's "ghost market" are also the main purpose of my visit. ”

"'Special rules'...... I can't believe you even know this......"

Chen Siyi stared at Jiang Yao's eyes, his face was a little cloudy, and he seemed to be entangled in something. However, she finally failed to resist Jiang Yao's firm gaze, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke:

"The so-called 'ghost market' is a large-scale underground black market that gathers all the demons of the dark realm and the supernatural people of the rivers and lakes, and the content of the transactions covers the three realms, from physical treasures to secret intelligence, and even ...... There was also the slave trade. ”

"Slave?" Jiang Yao was stunned.

"Yes. Due to the complicated situation of the "ghost market", neither the "Spirit Imperial Terrace" nor the "Demon God Mansion" can directly interfere, so it can be said that it is a gray area that does not care about it. There, the only one who has the final say is the organizer of the "Ghost Market", that is, the underground organization founded by the big demon 'Tubo' - the Ghost Tooth Group. Chen Siyi said, looking up at Jiang Yao.

"That kind of place is mixed with dragons and dragons, and it is not subject to the so-called laws or morals at all, and once the people over there notice that you have a 'colorless constitution' that is unique in ten thousand, I think...... You should be able to anticipate what to expect. ”

"......" Jiang Yao couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down and asked again:

"That'...... What are the so-called 'special rules' this year?"

"This year's 'Ghost Market' is different from previous editions, the organizers have introduced a special entry regulation, participants must not only have a 'ghost market invitation', but also need to pass a 'special challenge' arranged by the organizer before they can participate in this year's 'Ghost Market' trade. ”

"Special challenge?" Jiang Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised. "Is it possible that I still have to pass what test to enter the 'ghost market'?"

"I don't know the specifics. Chen Siyi shook his head and replied. "In previous years, the 'Ghost Market' could be signed up as long as it was a special person, but this year, because of the appearance of a 'special auction item', the conditions for participants have also been raised accordingly. As for what exactly this "special auction item" is......"

Halfway through his words, Chen Siyi suddenly didn't say any more, and a little tangled color appeared on his face. After a short silence, she sighed again, took out a quaint red envelope from her handbag, and placed it in front of Jiang Yao.

"This is the 'Ghost Market Invitation', and the specific content of the 'Special Auction Item' has been written on it. ”

"Special Auction Items......

Jiang Yao looked at the cover of the envelope with the word "ghost" written in black ink on the coffee table, his heart couldn't help beating a little faster, he carefully picked up the envelope and pulled out the delicate card inside.

This is a well-made black cardboard, in addition to the engraved patterns, there is also a faint layer of gold dust sprinkled on the paper; at the same time, there seems to be a strange aura around the card, as if some kind of spell has been cast, but when Jiang Yao opened the card to see the contents clearly, his face changed suddenly.

"Dear Guests,

Thank you for your continued support of Ghost City

You are cordially invited to visit us on the day of Qingming

In the place of the 'ghost gate' in the capital of Yudu

Participate in the challenge of entering the market

The treasure "Soul Stone" will be waiting for you at the ghost market auction

- Ghost Tooth Group, Sincerely"

"This—This is ......!"

Jiang Yao's hands trembled slightly, and the familiar words on the card were reflected in his dark eyes, and his shock was difficult to hide.

"'Soul Stone'!?"

Jiang Yao's heart began to beat violently, he carefully read the text on the invitation again, and after confirming that it was correct, he cast his stunned gaze on Chen Siyi in front of him.

"This time there will be an auction of the 'Soul Stone' in the 'Ghost Market'!?"

"That's right...... Looks like you know what kind of thing it is. Chen Siyi looked into Jiang Yao's eyes and said slowly.

"Soul Stone...... This ominous magic stone that stripped Xiao Yuan's soul and created countless puppet souls and human tragedies, Jiang Yao is more than the level of "knowing". And the reason why he wanted to go to the "Ghost Market" this time to find out the clues of the "Soul Stone" and bring to justice the mastermind behind the manipulation of the "Soul Stone" and the killing of Xiao Yuan and Blue Bird. It's just that this time, the 'Soul Suppression Stone' actually appeared in the form of an auction item, which Jiang Yao didn't expect.

Do you already know this information ...... the "Spirit Imperial Terrace"......

Jiang Yao pondered, tried to suppress the shock in his heart, and looked at Chen Siyi again.

"By the way, speaking of which...... How did you get this invitation?"

"This was sent to our Chen family by the organizers. Chen Siyi shook his head and said. "Although our Chen family went to the 'ghost market' to buy some information in the early years, in recent years, in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, especially when our medicine store is about to go public, we basically don't get involved in the 'ghost market' transaction. It's just that I don't know why I suddenly received such an invitation this time, and I also brought such an amazing lot news. ”

"According to what you say, the invitees to the 'Ghost Market' this time have been selected by the organizers?" Jiang Yao asked.

"It should be so, at least from the information I have received, not all the forces in the rivers and lakes can get such an invitation. Chen Siyi said. "But this 'ghost market invitation' is at best equivalent to the admission ticket to participate in the 'special challenge', and whether you can participate in the 'ghost market' depends on the results of the challenge, although our Chen family has no intention of participating......"

"Since you're not going to participate, ...... Can you give me this invitation?" Jiang Yao looked at Chen Siyi's expression and asked anxiously. "Judging from the content of the invitation letter, it does not stipulate that the participants must be from the Chen family, which means that even if it is me, I should be able to participate. ”

"That's what I said, but ......"

"Please, I really have something to investigate in the 'ghost market'...... The stakes are high, and please do me a favor!"

"......" Chen Siyi looked at Jiang Yao's eager eyes, wanted to say something but couldn't bear to say it, and after thinking for a long time, he finally opened his mouth:

"It's not that I won't help you, it's because in your situation, I'm afraid that before you enter the 'ghost market', you will become someone else's prey. ”

"How do you say that......?"

"Now you, I'm afraid you can't completely control the 'power of the fierce beast' in your body, right?" Chen Siyi looked at Jiang Yao's expression that was right, and shook his head helplessly. "Even when you choked on water before, you would inadvertently reveal the 'power of the beast', and this 'special challenge' of the 'ghost market' is definitely not simple, can you guarantee that you will not reveal your power attribute at that time?"

"......!?" Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and was speechless for a moment.

"Maybe you wanted to participate in the 'ghost market' in order to restore your qi vein, but it's a paradox for you, because even if you have mana, you can't use it in front of people. Chen Siyi said seriously.

"You...... It's better to die of this heart. ”
