Chapter 202: Ghost City
As soon as the ghost door opened, thousands of ghosts inside ran outside, and Yue Jiuling looked at those ghosts with a stern face, for fear that if someone suddenly got nervous and wanted to make trouble, he could stop it in time.
Fortunately, although the ghosts were all elated when they came out, they did not act excessively, most of them happily went back to their former homes, and those who no longer had a home began to wander the streets, but they showed no signs of trouble.
Yue Jiuling was not so nervous when she looked at An An's share of the ghosts, she stared at the ghosts while saying to the eyes beside her: "Fortunately, there are no ghosts who want to make trouble, and when they all come out, we can go in and visit the ghost market." ”
Jairus nodded when he heard this, but he still asked: "Actually, I don't think there is any problem with them coming out, why are you so nervous, afraid that something will happen to the ghost world?"
"Oops~ This is going to start from the year before last, the year before last when I just arrived in our department, I caught up with the festival, at that time I also thought that there should be no accident during the festival, why the whole metaphysical world attaches so much importance to it, although I heard that Halloween will be easy to have accidents, but I didn't think there would be any problems at that time, and it happened that night. ”
Yue Jiuling recalled the events of the year before last, and his face was disgusted: "At that time, it was not long before the door opened, and it was the time when the ghosts went out, and as a result, a vicious ghost came out of the team, you also know that ordinary ghosts will not be released even if they are celebrating the festival, and I don't know how that ghost was mixed up, his cultivation is not low, and he went crazy as soon as he came out, and then he tore more than a dozen ghosts on the spot and swallowed them, and he also ran to attack some people who were still out at night!"
"Tsk~ You weren't at the scene at that time, our people couldn't catch him when he was creating chaos and devouring ghosts, and when I ran to chase him, I found that three innocent living people had been torn apart, and two were injured, and the torn people were also eaten their hearts or something, and the blood stains and brains all over the ground were disgusting~"
Thinking of this, Yue Jiuling frowned and said: "The terrible ghost in the back was subdued by everyone and the people in the underworld, I heard that he was finally thrown into the Hungry Ghost Dao, so since then, the metaphysical world has paid more attention to this Halloween, and special attention will be paid to those ghosts with evil spirits." ”
After listening to the story, Jairus also understood: "Oh, no wonder, but how did that ghost get mixed up? Although I don't come down often, I have also heard that the place where the ghost is held is different from that of ordinary ghosts." ”
"I don't know, but I heard that after this incident happened at that time, there was also a small reform in the underworld. ”
The two of them said that there are not many ghosts coming out of the ghost gate in the Eastern District, in fact, there are more than one or two ghost doors in the ghost world, and several can be opened in a city, as long as it is a place with yin energy, the ghost door can be opened, so the ghosts in the ghost world are not all out of a ghost gate, they are in batches.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer ghosts coming out of the ghost gate, and seeing that there were no ghosts coming out, he said, "No, let's go in?"
Yue Jiuling shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the ghost gate won't be closed anyway, let's go and patrol the nearby streets again." ”
As she spoke, she followed the last ghost who came out of the ghost gate, "Although they all came out, they can't judge that they won't make trouble, we have to make sure that the ghosts on this side of the East District are the first to be safe." ”
"Alright, it's better to be cautious and careful. ”
Although Jairus wanted to go inside the ghost gate, she still followed Yue Jiuling to patrol the streets.
In fact, Yue Jiuling did this for peace of mind, after all, there are so many ghosts, it would be bad if something really happened, so it was better to be careful.
After the ghosts came out in droves, they all scattered around the streets, and many of them went back directly, and only a few of them were still wandering the streets.
Yue Jiu Ling patrolled a few streets and found that those ghosts were wandering around the streets, but there was something unusual, so he didn't plan to pay attention to it.
"Let's go, there's nothing left in the East End, let's go to the ghost market. ”
After the two patrolled the street, they returned to Nanxiang Street, and there were no ghosts coming out of the ghost gate at this time, but it was not closed, but it was always open, and it would not be closed until after dawn.
Yue Jiu Ling and Jairus entered the ghost gate together after saying hello to the ghost messenger guarding the door, and then went inside to find the ghost market, and when they entered, they also saw two other living people also entering behind them.
The two people who came in behind were an old man and a young man, and it seemed that the two of them looked a little alike, maybe father and son, and they also looked up a few times when they came in.
Jairus also saw them, so he whispered to Yue Jiuling: "They don't seem to be ordinary people, they probably came for the ghost market, right?"
Yue Jiuling nodded and said, "I guess so, regardless of them, let's go." ”
Although the things in the ghost market are wonderful, some things are also good things for monks, so there are often monks who go to the ghost market in the ghost world to buy things.
The ghost market is actually similar to the stall market in the human world, and the environment inside is average, just find an empty place near the ghost door and put tables, chairs and benches, and put things away, and the market will open.
Sure enough, not long after entering the ghost gate, they found the ghost market, and the ghost market was the same as in Yue Jiuling's memory, full of shouting and selling, just like the vegetable market in the human world.
As soon as Jianwei saw the ghost market, he immediately walked over there with great interest, he pulled Yue Jiuling and said, "Jiuling, let's go, let's go and see." ”
And the two fathers and sons who followed behind them were also a little excited, the younger man was probably only a teenager, he looked at the older man and said, "Dad, that's a ghost market? Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
The old man said, "Well, it's a ghost market, you pay attention, although the ghost world now welcomes us to enter during the festival, but we also have to obey the rules." ”
"Dad, let's go find something. ”
Soon, the father and son walked to the ghost market one after the other.
Although Yue Jiuling has only been in the ghost market for a year, he feels that there has not changed much, the coffin seller is still selling coffins, and the chicken porridge seller is still selling chicken porridge, and a year has passed, and their position is still in the same position.
She shook her head as she watched, thinking to herself that they always sell the same thing, so why didn't they even change their positions?
Jairus was very interested when he saw this, and although he also thought that the things here were strange, it did not prevent his curiosity from growing.
He said: "I used to play in the human world a few times, but I played in the human world, and I never came to the ghost world, because I heard that the environment in the ghost world is very poor, but I didn't expect that after so many years, the ghost world will be so fun." ”
Yue Jiuling saw Jairus pick up a human skin mask and play with it, she reminded: "You take it easy, we don't have much time, so we can only take a casual look, and we will go out later." ”
Jairus nodded to show that she understood: "Yes, I'll see if there is a suitable one first, and if there is, I'll buy it." ”
Yue Jiu Ling and the two were strolling here, and the father and son were walking behind them, they were not like the two of them who just came in casually to hang out, but were looking for something purposefully.
Yue Jiuling looked at the entire market and found that although the things inside were strange and messy, she didn't see anyone she liked, and she didn't have anything she wanted to buy.
But when she saw a stall selling exotic flowers and plants, she stopped, because the flowers and plants in it were very peculiar, which made her feel a little interested.
There are a lot of strange flowers and plants on this stall, there are flowers with a baby's face that resemble a big sunflower, and there is also a kind of flower about two meters high, the flower diameter and flower buds are very thick, but there is a row of fangs on the outside of the flower buds, which is very similar to the kind of man-eating flowers that eat people on TV, and there is a kind of red grass that is bubbling with a forest and yin on its body, and there is also a kind of small tree, but it is full of fruits that look like villains, and the fruits and small trees are still slightly exuding some yin energy.
Yue Jiuling was very interested in the little tree full of villain fruits, and she pulled Jairus, who was still going forward, and said, "Hey, look at that little tree, it's so strange~"
Jairus originally wanted to continue walking, but he turned back as soon as he was pulled by Yue Jiuling, and he also looked at the little tree: "Oh, what is that?"
The stall owner selling flowers and plants is a female ghost, she doesn't look very old, she looks good, and she is wearing a red cheongsam, she looks like an ordinary living person, if you don't know that the stalls in here are not living people, you would think she is a normal person.
When the stall owner saw that someone was interested in her goods, he smiled and held a fan embroidered with patterns and said, "Oh, you guys really have a good eye for that little fruit fruit, but that little fruit is not bought in a whole pot, you can only buy it one by one." ”
"What is the villain fruit, and why can you only buy them one by one?"
Yue Jiu Ling looked at the small tree that was emitting yin qi and asked.
"Hehe~ This, in fact, this villain fruit is a kind of fruit full of yin energy, suitable for some ghosts to eat or use, by the way, secretly tell you," Speaking of the role of the villain fruit, the stall owner suddenly became mysterious, she said mysteriously: "I heard, if you have a child who dies, you can put the child in the villain fruit to raise~"
Originally, after hearing that the villain fruit is suitable for some ghosts to eat or use, Yue Jiuling has no interest, after all, she is a demon cultivator, and this fruit is useless to herself, but when she heard the stall owner say that this fruit can actually raise ghosts, her face immediately changed a little.
Yue Jiu Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at Jair, and gestured to him with his eyes, Jair had also heard the stall owner's words just now, and when he saw Yue Jiu Ling's eyes, he immediately understood, he showed a surprised expression to the little tree and said, "Really, so amazing, so how to buy this fruit?"
When the stall owner saw that they wanted to buy it, he immediately revealed the price: "My villain fruit is relatively rare, so the price is a little more expensive, but I don't think you are ordinary demon cultivators, so let's do it, at a fixed price, you each leave me a trace of demonic power." ”
Buying things in the ghost market is not just money like the human world, their transactions here are very strange, after all, this is not the human world, so the payment methods are different.
There are many ways to pay in the ghost market, some ghosts will ask for a part of your body, or something to pay, some will ask for some magic weapons, and some will ask for some strange things, in short, you can't do business with them in an ordinary way.
Therefore, after hearing such a payment request, Yue Jiuling and Jairus were not surprised.
