Chapter Seventy-Five: Ghost Market - The Grass House Master
Yan Jiu looked at Shang Qiu, "Didn't this ghost market just start tomorrow night?" ”
"That's true, but this ghost market can also be entered in advance," Shang Qiu said this, with a bit of smugness on his face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I saw him looking at Yan Jiu with a mysterious face, "Believe me, the ghost market opened in advance has many unexpected surprises......"
The dark passage that winds down is very dark, Shang Qiu picked up a green palace lamp in his hand, and the green light was faintly reflected at his feet, and the steps were twisting and turning.
It was followed by Yan Jiu, who was covered with gold, and Qing Yan.
Yan Jiu had asked Shang Qiu why he had lit a green palace lantern before, but who expected that this Shang Qiu just smiled mysteriously and avoided answering, just saying that he would know later.
"I take the liberty of asking, why did Yan Daoyou go to this ghost market?" In the narrow dark passage, Shang Qiu's voice sounded faintly.
Someone suddenly spoke in the silence, and it sounded inexplicably hollow in this tunnel.
Yan Jiu looked at Shang Qiu who was walking in front, and the green light emitted by the palace lamp dyed Shang Qiu's side face with a strange color.
Shang Qiu turned his face, half hidden in the darkness, half exposed to the light, grinning like an old corpse in a mountain village, revealing countless black tentacles between his lips and teeth......
"Yan Daoyou, Yan Daoyou?"
Yan Jiu shook his head, there was still that terrifying scene in front of him, and the one who shouted for himself was clearly Shang Qiu's round face that smiled very kindly.
"What's wrong?" Qing Yan on the side asked softly.
Yan Jiu smiled comfortingly at Qing Yan, "It's nothing, I was a little distracted just now." ”
When Shang Qiu heard this, he immediately said, "Yan Daoyou saw some strange scenes just now? ”
Yan Jiu touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, and returned truthfully, "I did see some "weird" scenes. ”
"That's right," Shang Qiu carried the palace lamp and walked down without stopping.
While walking, he chatted casually with Yan Jiu behind him, "This secret path is very old, and over time, some nightmare spirits have grown. ”。
Yan Jiu was puzzled, "Nightmare Spirit? What is that? ”
Qing Yan behind him slowly spoke, and explained: "Everything in the world has spirituality, and in some places where there is aura, spirituality will be born after a long time, and this nightmare spirit should be the "spirit" born in this dark path. ”
"What Qing Yan Daoist said is right, but although this nightmare spirit is a "spirit" generated in this dark path, it has no other ability, so it can only draw out a trace of the monk's fear, condense it into an illusion, and tease the monks in the past. ”
Speaking of this, Shang Qiu's words carried a hint of ridicule among old friends, "It seems that this Wei Jing likes Yan Daoyou very much, so he is naughty and plays tricks on you." ”
Yan Jiu smiled and returned casually, "Probably." ”
Yan Jiu was "hehe" in his heart, this Laoshzi's trickery is really fresh and refined, if he has a bad heart, he will die directly.
However, having said that, this nightmare spirit was able to extract the fear from the monk's heart, and what he saw was a "ghosted" version of Shangqiu.
Does that mean that in the bottom of his heart, he is actually still afraid of this Duobao Pavilion Lord Shangqiu?
Thinking of this, Yan Jiu's eyes froze, and now that he thought about it, there were really many suspicious things about this Duobao Pavilion Lord.
There are a lot of items sold in this Duobao Pavilion, why did this Shangqiu let his party stop at the place where spirit beast eggs were sold?
If this is just a coincidence, when he learned that he wanted to buy spirit beast eggs, why did he propose such a temptation as using the hatching pool for free and identifying spirit beast eggs with a sixth-order spirit master?
Even after the human-faced large-mouthed flower hatched, he was not much surprised, as if he had already learned that the human-faced large-mouthed flower was in the egg of this spirit beast.
Later, although he gave the child fruit as compensation, it was not worth entering the ghost market in exchange for entering the ghost market in advance.
As Shang Qiu said, the secret path he took him through was very old, and it could be regarded as the secret of Duobao Pavilion.
And he took himself down so grandly, if this Shangqiu didn't plan to kill him afterwards, then he had another plan.
You must know that sometimes a dark path often means a way to protect yourself......
This pile, piece by piece, adds up, if it is said to be a coincidence, it is not impossible, but!
When countless coincidences come together, it can only be - deliberately.
I thought that Shangqiu's target was Qingyan, but now that I think about it, this Shangqiu seems to have been targeting himself, or ......
Yan Jiu looked over his shoulder, and at this time, the human-faced big-mouthed flower was wrapping its roots around his arm, and the emerald flowers and leaves were tightly clutching his robe, sleeping on his shoulder.
Or, it was this little eight who accidentally fell into his hands and accidentally concluded a spiritual contract with himself.
Thinking of this, Yan Jiu looked behind him, why had he been walking for so long, and Qing Yan didn't make a sound.
I saw Qing Yan half-bowing his head, looking at the steps under his feet, walking without saying a word, and the blurred light from the palace lamp hit his body dimly.
At this time, Qingyan was also experiencing an illusion, under the corner of the withered grass, a pair of well-proportioned bones and slender fingertips gently put down a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.
A voice sounded in the baby's ears like desolation and moistness, "You shouldn't have been born, but ......"
So the man took out something and hung it around the baby's neck and put it in swaddling clothes.
"It's your thing, and now it's your thing, so live well, and don't go back to that cold city......"
"Qing Yan, Qing Yan?"
Qing Yan raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and it was Yan Jiu who was pulling his sleeve, but it was Yan Jiu who asked with concern.
Seeing that Qing Yan came back to his senses, Yan Jiu quipped: "Did Qing Yan also meet that nightmare spirit?" Did you see some mountain spirits and wild ghosts? ”
Qing Yan's originally cold gaze softened, "It seems that what Ah Jiu saw before was the mountain spirit and wild ghost, but I didn't know that Ah Jiu was afraid of ghosts." ”
Seeing that the inquiry failed, he shot back, and Yan Jiu was not annoyed, "What did Qing Yan see?" ”
Qing Yan shook his head and said, "I didn't meet the Nightmare Spirit, I was just thinking about things before, and I was a little distracted." ”
"In that case, this nightmare still likes me more."
"Perhaps."
Qing Yan looked at the dark passage behind him, and in the dark silence, there seemed to be a group of nightmare spirits covered with black fluffy tentacles, hiding in the darkness and whispering.
Qing Yan lowered his eyes to cover the darkness under his eyes, and just before the illusion was shattered, Qing Yan saw a pair of ice blue eyes......
"This is it!" Shangqiu, who was walking in front, finally stopped.
Yan Jiu looked in front of Shang Qiu as he said, but found that it was still dark.
can only vaguely see that the three of them seem to be standing on a high platform, and the silhouette seems to be a ferry platform.
It seems that this place is also like that dark path, and some kind of formation has been laid to prohibit the exploration of divine sense, otherwise, how could Yan Jiu, who is a foundation building monk, be unable to see.
Shang Qiu pointed to his eyes and said, "This is the ferry to the ghost market. ”
Shang Qiu held the green palace lamp in his hand, waved it into the air a few times in a strange rhythm, and after seeing a star in the distance, he put away the green palace lamp in his hand.
Shang Qiu took out two black cloaks, "I have taken you to the ghost market as promised, and now, the deal is over." ”
With that, Shang Qiu handed the cloak to Yan Jiu and Qing Yan.
"Don't leave your name, don't leave your identity, don't bargain, trade directly when you meet your favorite items, don't talk, don't stay."
Shang Qiu paused and continued, "Remember! Don't argue with people in red cloaks! This is important and important to keep in mind! ”
Yan Jiu didn't ask much this time, since Shang Qiu had repeatedly told her, there must be his intentions, she reached out and took the black cloak that was handed over.
"Thank you Shangqiu Daoyou for reminding me."
Shang Qiu laughed, "If it's really grateful, come to my Duobao Pavilion a few more times." ”
After Shang Qiu finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Ba, who was sleeping on Yan Jiu's shoulder, without a trace, and then said goodbye to Yan Jiu.
"Farewell here, take care of yourself!"
After that, Shang Qiu didn't say a word again, turned around and stepped on the steps when he came.
Shang Qiu's figure was soon engulfed in darkness, Yan Jiu handed one of the cloaks to Qing Yan, but saw that Qing Yan was not wearing it himself, but directly draped it on Yan Jiu.
"Ah Jiu, do you think this Shangqiu is inappropriate?" Qing Yan said what Yan Jiu was thinking about in his heart.
"Qing Yan also saw it?"
"There are indeed a lot of things wrong with this Shangqiu, but he shouldn't have any malicious intent."
Qing Yan's fingers skillfully tied the strap of the cloak into a delicate and full peace knot, "What he said, Yan Jiu just listened to it, don't take it too seriously." ”
Yan Jiuzheng wanted to ask "why"?
I saw Qing Yan take out a red cloak, unfold it suddenly, the corners of the robe flew up, draped on the broad shoulders, Qing Yan tied the belt, and then turned his head to look at Yan Jiu.
"Because I can protect Ah Jiu."
It's obviously a simple sentence, but it's inexplicably trustworthy.
"It's coming......" Qing Yan looked at the "spark" from far and near in the distance, and said leisurely.
Only then did he take the hood behind Yan Jiu and cover it tightly on Yan Jiu's face covered with a golden mask.
After seeing Yan Jiu's hood put on, he buckled his hood with his backhand.
Yan Jiu lifted the corner of the hood and looked out through the hood.
At this time, the light of the star has changed from far to near, and the light has changed from the size of a star to a lamp as dazzling as the sun.
Thanks to this bright Hongfu, Yan Jiu finally saw the ferry of this ghost city.
The crossing platform at Yan Jiu's feet is not large, and it can accommodate the appearance of more than a dozen people, and the whole presents the shape of the word "Zhong", with a darkness on the left and a turquoise "water ball" on the right.
If it is a water polo, it is also a little inappropriate, because this water balloon wraps the water of the entire Rinlos Lake, and Yan Jiu is located at the bottom of this Rims Lake.
And the one-star light that came from afar was not a big ship.
Whether it is the hideous spikes erected on its body or the forehead lamp on its head, it all shows the identity of this light, which is a huge lanternfish.
I saw it carrying a lantern, swinging the wide fish tail behind it leisurely, swimming from the turquoise water in the distance, and stopping at the ferry with only a few breaths.
Yan Jiu's amazement at seeing the "big fish" changed its taste in Qing Yan's eyes.
I saw Qing Yan patting Yan Jiu's shoulder comfortingly, signaling her not to be nervous, and then took the lead in walking towards the lantern fish that stopped at the ferry.
Yan Jiu only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh for a while, this illusion of being comforted like a child must have been thinking too much.
Obviously I'm the "older" one, okay!
However, this was not the time to worry about this, Yan Jiu lowered his hood and hung his head to follow.
When the lantern fish saw someone coming, its huge fish eyes turned around twice, and then its mouth spit out a round blister.
The bubble trembled as if it would burst at any time, but it stopped in front of Qing Yan no more.
Qing Yan stepped in, Yan Jiu followed, and as soon as he stepped into the blister, Yan Jiu stepped on his feet in a novel way.
Although the blister carried the two of them as if they wanted to burst, it was very soft under their feet, as comfortable as stepping on the clouds.
Before Yan Jiu could enjoy stepping on it a few more times, he saw the blister carrying the two of them flying towards the lantern fish, and was swallowed by the lantern fish's big mouth.
Yan Jiu thought that there would be darkness, but as soon as the blister fell into the belly of the fish, the surrounding scene changed greatly.
As far as the eye can see, there are lights and lights, and the bustling street scene is very prosperous, and the pavilions standing on the side of the street are more than those of Duobao Pavilion.
It's just that the incomparably prosperous scene in front of me is as unreal as a mirage, and this is just because the street is extremely empty.
Only a handful of people in black cloaks hurriedly walked quickly down the street.
Yan Jiu looked at Qing Yan beside him, full of doubts, "This is the ghost market of Bi Mall?" Why is this so? ”
"Ah Jiu Mo didn't forget, at this time, the ghost market has not yet opened, and there will naturally be fewer people."
Yan Jiu said clearly: "Then where should we go to find the materials to repair the Tiandu umbrella?" ”
Qing Yan paused for a moment, "It seems that there is a place where you can." ”
Qing Yan took Yan Jiu through the most golden and brilliant streets in the ghost city, walked through countless golden carved and jade pavilions, but finally stopped in front of a **** thatched house.
The thatched huts looked like the mountain village dwellings that could be found everywhere in the countryside, and even looked even more dilapidated.
Yan Jiu, however, felt that all this in front of him was inexplicably familiar, not only the half-hidden small door made of tree branches, but also the straw roof with exposed beams.
Even the water tank that had a gap and was upside down in the courtyard made Yan Jiu feel as if he had returned to the countryside in his previous life.
Those childhood years, the years when I was dependent on my grandmother.
However, Yan Jiu was also very puzzled in his heart, if this grass house was placed in the countryside, it would be very ordinary, but when it was erected in the golden ghost market, it would be a bit eye-catching.
Could it be that this is the courtyard where the legend is hidden in the city and inhabited by the world's masters?
But what surprised Yan Jiu was Qing Yan, who saw Qing Yan push open the half-hidden small door and go straight to the upside-down water tank in the courtyard.
In his right hand, his index fingers were combined, and a cold sword qi slashed directly at the inverted water tank!
Yan Jiu thought that he would see the water tank split into powder, but after the sword qi, the water tank not only did not move, but a yawn came from inside.
It's as if this sword qi disturbed the dormancy of this "water tank".
But Qing Yan looked unexpected, as if he had expected it to be so...... (To be continued.) )
