Chapter 60: The Weak and the Strong
The girl's hand was very strong, and after holding Lu Xin, she directly lifted his whole person out of the ground. Surrounded by howling winds, buoyancy rises from beneath your feet, making you feel like you're flying on top of a mountain.
Out of the store, Lu Xin saw what the person was wearing. Dressed in pink, with a cloth bag embroidered with rabbits hanging around his waist, he is extremely slender. Although he couldn't see the mask and face, Lu Xin still recognized the person in front of him at a glance. It was the girl who bought a rock sugar gourd with two hundred taels of silver not long ago.
"Where's your sugar gourd, have you eaten it all?"
"Mom, you're in a big disaster, and you still care about that fairy fruit? If I had known, I would have left one for you. ”
The girl's voice was very ethereal, like a drop of water in the misty mountain forest, suddenly falling from the petals to the ground. Lu Xin was a little stupid when he heard it, and he couldn't speak for a while.
The man in black was still chasing after him, and the explosion just now finally alarmed the people on the street. More and more onmyoji have cast their eyes. It's just that everyone's faces are covered under masks, and they can't see the expressions on their faces.
"Hey, did you buy something nice? Being chased by so many people will kill you. ”
The girl dragged Lu Xin around the streets, seemingly without a sense of direction, but she was always able to escape the eyes of the pursuers by using some stalls and caves as cover. Not only that, but the route she chose happened to be the street with the most traffic, shuttling between the crowds, which made the man in black have scruples and dare not shoot at will.
This is a manifestation of a very good understanding of the entire ghost market layout. Lu Xin looked back, and there were indeed a lot fewer figures following behind. Only the man in black who stepped on the bamboo flute was still biting in the air about twenty meters away.
"Since it's a market, there's always someone in charge, right? Is it true that no one cares about burning, killing and looting? ”
"Oh, little brother, you don't know our Yun Mengze too well. There is an unwritten rule in this ghost market, and wealth is not exposed. If you are being chased by them, you must be able to see the treasure on your body. Don't look at these people who are doing business and shopping here on the surface, but in fact, they have a dark heart. If you cultivate to a high point, it's good that you won't be bullied in public. But you only have to re-cultivate in the virtual realm, if people know that you have a treasure on you, many people's first reaction is to grab it in their own hands. ”
"What about the lord of the ghost city? If there are no rules here, aren't you afraid that this ghost market will not be able to open? ”
"He? Let me tell you this, who would offend the master of the Guiwei Realm for the sake of an onmyoji who has a heavy view of the virtual realm? Giving masks to everyone is already the maximum security guarantee that Yunmeng Ghost City can do. ”
As she said this, the girl swooped into a shop selling lumber. Because of his rapid running, the mask was hit by a wooden stake placed in the doorway, and fell to the ground and split in half.
Lu Xin finally saw the girl's face, big eyes, and a tall nose. The skin is white and red, so tender that it seems to be able to pinch out water. The unvarnished face, the frowns from the broken mask, and the slightly pursed corners of the mouth are really cute.
Over the years, going back and forth between Shanyin County and Hangzhou City to do tea business, Lu Xin has also met many beautiful girls. The area south of the Yangtze River is already rich in beauties, just like that Tian Yu'er, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and hibiscus out of the water, anyone who sees it will fall in love.
But the girl in front of her is another kind of beauty. She doesn't have Tian Yu'er's dusty face, but she is more playful and cute. She looks at the world, but she understands everything. Lu Xin was stunned for a moment, staring at the girl directly, and forgot to look away for a while.
"What's wrong with you, blushing like a monkey?"
"No, nothing."
Seeing the girl's puzzled face, Lu Xin hurriedly lowered her head, only to feel that her cheeks were hot, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to drill into. At this time, the shopkeeper walked over, an old man in his sixties, wearing the clothes of the Wei and Jin dynasties, wide clothes and belts, quite a famous man. The old man looked kind, as if he recognized the girl, and just as he leaned down and wanted to speak, he was covered by the girl's hand.
"Grandpa Jin has something to say later, someone is chasing me, let's find a place to hide first."
"What? Who would dare to chase you? Okay, well, go into the cabinet, and then talk about the cabinet first. ”
The old man sold all woodwork, and in the corner of the shop there was a dusty gold-lacquered wooden cabinet, and I don't know what age it was. When the two opened the door and went inside, they found that the space in the cabinet was very cramped, curled up, back to back and cramped. The girl's long hair almost all fell on Lu Xin's shoulders, and a girl's unique body fragrance permeated the air, which smelled particularly good. It was the first time Lu Xin had such close contact with a girl, her heart was beating hard and her face was red.
"Oops, your back is so hard, it hurts to death."
"No, I'm sorry, I... I'll go out right away. ”
Lu Xin saw that he hurt the girl, so he hurriedly opened the cabinet, and as soon as he opened a little gap, the man in black appeared at the door of the store, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly closed it. The girl also seemed to sense the aura of the man in black, and reached out to cover Lu Xin's mouth and nose, signaling him not to speak.
"This fellow Daoist is in a hurry, and he came to the sky, but what do you want to buy? We have 800-year-old mahogany, 1,000-year-old sandalwood, and more than 3,000-year-old locust roots...... It's all the best material for making magic weapons, you take your time to look at it, take your time and see. ”
"Hmph, old man, I don't have time to entangle with you. A man and a woman just ran into your store, what about people? ”
"Daoyou said with a smile, there is only the old man and I in this store, how can there be any men and women. If you are not here to buy wood, please leave the shop. ”
Seeing that the tone of the person who came was not good, Old Man Jin also pulled down his face and sat on the rocking chair. His eyelids drooped, and he didn't look at people at all. The man in black stopped speaking for a while, looked at every corner of the store one by one, and only after a long time did he snort coldly and walked away.
It took a few more minutes for Old Man Jin to open the cabinet door and release the two of them.
"Grandpa Jin is so grateful to you, I know that guy, I don't dare to mess around with you."
"Hahahaha...... Or are we sweet-mouthed. Okay, don't be sarcastic about your Grandpa Kim. People are masters of the micro realm, how can they care about my cultivation. What people are afraid of, it's the lord of our ghost city! ”
"Hey, hey, take care of Grandpa Kim, I'll go first."
After coming out of the shop, the man in black disappeared. The rest of the people who were chasing were also gone. Lu Xin was very grateful to the girl, and wanted to buy a gift for her, but the girl refused.
"Daddy said that you can't take other people's things, especially men's things."
"I, I ......"
"What am I? Hahaha...... Tease you, little brother, how old are you, you look so silly. ”
Although the girl didn't have a mask, she didn't care at all, patted Lu Xin's shoulder, and happily turned in circles. When Lu Xin heard this, he immediately touched his head helplessly.
"Ten, eleven...... No, sixteen. ”
"Huh? Same age as me? What's your name? ”
"Lu Xin, what about you?"
Twitter, twitter.
The cloth bag around the girl's waist suddenly heard a bird's call, and when she looked down, she saw a colorful bird crawling out little by little. Seeing this, the girl's face changed slightly, and she shouted, "It's not good, I was found out by my father." Before the voice landed, the person had already run away.
Lu Xin looked at the direction where the girl disappeared and stopped in place for a long time. Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and began to walk back and forth. Calculate the time, and the hour is almost up. He had to rush to the place agreed with Li Chunfeng before he could leave the ghost market.
Perhaps because it was almost dawn, there were fewer pedestrians on the streets. The road, which is more than ten meters wide, seems a little empty. Lu Xin frowned all the way, the fewer people there were, the greater the probability of being recognized. As soon as he thought of the man in black flying in the sky, Lu Xin felt uncomfortable.
"Judging from the situation just now, it seems that the lord of the ghost market only protects those who open shops and set up stalls. If you don't guess wrong, every store will have to pay money. And tourists like me who have not paid protection money, even if they are robbed or even killed, I am afraid that no one cares. If this is how Onmyoji get along with each other, it is really even more despicable than thieves! ”
Touching the smooth jade pendant in his hand, Lu Xin sneered again and again. A trip to the ghost market gave him a new understanding of the world of Onmyoji. But calm down and think about it, the meat is weak and the strong eat it, which is the law of heaven and earth. The more powerful a person is, the less he cares about the life or death of an ant.
"This fellow Daoist, who is in such a hurry, where do you want to go?"
Just when he was about to reach the agreed street, the road in front of Lu Xin was suddenly blocked by two figures. Immediately after, a series of cold voices followed. Looking up, the clothes of the two people in front of me were exactly what they had seen in the restaurant.
"Little guy, a divine object like Tianyu is not something that you can keep as a junior who has just stepped into the Void Realm. Hand it over, and you will be safe. ”
"What Tianyu, I don't know at all!"
Lu Xin scolded angrily, and immediately retreated, but he didn't take a few steps, and three extremely powerful auras appeared behind him. At the same time, the man in black fell from the sky and landed coldly beside him.
In an instant, Lu Xin was locked by six strands of mana, and his body seemed to be pressed under the mountain, and he couldn't even move a finger.
"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place. Now, not to mention Danyin 10,000 taels, you may not even be able to save your life! ”
The black-clothed man's voice was very unhappy, and while speaking, he circled around Lu Xin, unconcealing the murderous aura on his body. The rest of the people stood there and sneered, as if they had already discussed how to divide the spoils. And this scene on the street immediately attracted dozens of pairs of curious eyes.
"The thieves dare to rob the way, but you are an onmyoji, but you rob in front of the public, you are not afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"
"Hmph, little ant, do you know what the world is? I didn't want to kill you, but now it seems that you have to die! ”
The voice of the man in black suddenly became hideous, and when the words fell, the bamboo flute in his hand turned into a blue light and smashed towards the young man. However, in the next second, the man in black suddenly flew out upside down and slammed into a stall.
