Chapter 8: The Race for Birth

The ugly ghost in black was a little timid by the female ghost in red, but he still had the courage to say: "Hongyu, don't think that you are the eldest maid of the king of Yucheng and can do whatever you want, you want it, I want it, everyone wants it, then we will compete fairly according to our abilities, if you insist on bullying others, we will not show mercy."

"Yes, fair play! Fair play! All the ghosts shouted in unison.

"Okay, okay, I'll play fair with you." Hongyu scanned everyone with a dark face and gritted his teeth and said. Then he turned his head to look at Ghost Six, and said with a smile on his inevitable expression: "Ghost Six, I will give ten years of mana, are you willing to sell this slave to me?"

"Ten years? Of course that's wishing......" Before the ghost finished speaking, the ugly ghost in black interrupted him and raised the price loudly: "I will be out for twelve years"

A little ghost next to "I've been out for fifteen years" is not to be outdone.

"Sixteen years"

"Eighteen Years"

For a while, those ghosts and demons have increased their prices, from the first five years to the current twenty years. Look at the posture of that group of ghosts not to be outdone, there is a tendency to fight more and more fiercely.

Seeing those ghosts fighting for a fetus, Ji Xiao was even more puzzled. He turned his head to look at Si Yuanchen and asked, "Why do they all want a fetus that is still in the womb?" ”

"I don't know, maybe they like children!" Si Yuanchen rarely comes to the underworld, and he is not very clear about many things in the underworld.

"Listen to the two of you, you just came, right?" The old ghost next to Ji Xiao interjected at the right time.

Si Yuanchen nodded and asked, "Old gentleman, do you know why they robbed this fetus?"

The old ghost nodded and said, "It has been recorded in the Book of the Underworld that the immature fetus is driven out of the mother's body, its essence is sucked, and the carcass and placenta are burned into powder, mixed with a few herbs, and the mana can be greatly increased after taking it. Therefore, it is not to blame them for snatching this birth, but in fact, it is really difficult to find a birth in this underworld. It is reported that thousands of years ago, there was a birth in the underworld, and then it was obtained by a ghost friend surnamed Yuan, and later I heard that the mana of the Yuan brother rose sharply, and he made miraculous achievements in a demon war, and surrendered to the underworld to the sword soul devouring knife, which can be described as a fame and fortune power magic weapon three harvests, which is really a legend in the underworld. ”

Sucking fetal sperm and refining the fetus into powder along with the placenta, this cruel practice made Ji Xiao feel cold all over his body.

"Why doesn't the Hades prohibit such a cruel evil art?"

"How can it not be banned, it's just about cultivation, and it's just that it's not stopped being banned!" The old ghost sighed.

While a few people were talking, the price increase over there had already entered a fierce mutual non-concession link. I saw the ugly ghost in black raise the price and say: "Twenty years, I will be out for twenty years"

Hongyu also did not let "I go out for twenty-two years." ”

The place where everyone is standing is in a corner outside the underworld, and most of the ghosts here are not high-cultivation, and they are the kind of nameless ghosts who have nowhere to go. Therefore, when the ugly ghost in black and the red jade spear fought against each other, all the little ghosts gave up participating in the competition one after another, and watched the excitement around the red jade and the black ghost.

The ghost in black raised the price again: "Twenty-three years"

Not to be outdone, Hongyu "twenty-four years"

The black-clothed ghost gritted his teeth unwillingly: "Twenty-five years"

Ruby is confident: "Twenty-eight years"

As soon as the twenty-eighth year of the red jade came out, the ghosts were restless, and the whispers were undulating.

The black-clothed ghost clenched his fists, his mouth opened and opened, and finally he didn't shout out.

Ghost Six shouted with a smile on his face, "Hongyu has been out for twenty-eight years, is there any price increase?" ”

The ghosts are talking to each other, but none of them are shouting the price.

Ghost Six asked again, "Is there any price increase?"

At this moment, the woman who had been bowing her head and trembling slowly looked up at everyone. When she saw Ji Xiao, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, her eyes full of longing actually shed two lines of tears.

The moment she looked up and saw her eyes, Ji Xiao was shocked. She is so similar to Xiao Min, especially those touching and pitiful eyes. If it weren't for the surrounding darkness and ghost reminders, Ji Xiao would almost have thought she was Xiao Min.

Si Yuanchen noticed that something was wrong with Ji Xiao, and squeezed Ji Xiao's hand with the hands that the two of them were holding together, but Ji Xiao didn't react.

At this moment, Ghost Six shouted: "Since there is no price increase, then this slave will be ......."

"Wait!" Ji Xiao suddenly shouted.

"How many years of mana does this ghost friend take?" Ghost Six and all the ghosts looked at Ji Xiao in unison.

"Law... Supernatural power! Hearing the word mana, Ji Xiao instantly sobered up. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he screamed in his heart, where does he have any mana? It's just that when I saw the woman's longing eyes, I couldn't help screaming in a hurry. It's really hard to ride a tiger now!!

"How many years do ghost friends want to increase the price?" Ghost Six stared at Ji Xiao with bright eyes and asked.

"I ...... I ......" Ji Xiao took a deep breath, plucked up his courage and was about to say, "I won't buy her", when Si Yuanchen next to him answered: "He has fifty years of mana!"

"Five... Fifty years? The demons exclaimed.

"Fifty years!" Si Yuanchen nodded in confirmation.

The ghosts exchanged heads and discussed again, "Fifty years, what a big deal!" ”

"I wonder where they came from? It's so generous! ”

"Look at their dress, they shouldn't be flies and ghosts."

"Look at how Ruby is still doing now!"

"Fifty years, it's going to take a long time to cultivate!"

Listening to the discussion in his ears, Ji Xiao turned his head to look at Si Yuanchen, and an unknown feeling lingered in his heart for a long time.

"This ghost friend has been out of mana for fifty years, is there anyone higher than him? If there is no higher one, then the slave will be ......."

"Slow down," Hongyu interrupted Ghost Six's words loudly, and then looked at Si Yuanchen, "I want to say a few words to this friend."

"What does the Ruby Maiden want to talk about here?"

"Do you really want this slave?"

"Seriously."

Hongyu's face changed, and she asked again: "You think clearly, do you really want to rob me of this slave?" Hongyu looked at Si Yuanchen, and the displeasure in her eyes was obvious.

"The red jade girl is wrong, this is not a robbery, but each depends on his ability!"

"Good, good, good" Hongyu said hello three times with a black face, and finally threw down the sentence "I hope you won't regret today's 'each according to his ability'" After speaking, he threw his sleeves angrily and left.

Hongyu left, and Ghost Six hurriedly came out to play a round: "Ghost friend Mo Qi, Hongyu is that virtue." Ghost friend, this slave is yours. As he spoke, he handed the rope holding the woman in his hand to Si Yuanchen.

Seeing that Si Yuanchen was going to pick up the rope, Ji Xiao shook Si Yuanchen's hand tightly, shook his head lightly at Si Yuanchen, and signaled him not to buy it.

Si Yuanchen turned his head and smiled at him lightly, and said comfortingly: "It's okay."

Ji Xiao was hooked by Si Yuanchen's smile, his eyes were confused, his mind was confused, he turned his head to look at Si Yuanchen's well-defined side face, and was stunned.

When Ji Xiao came back to his senses, Si Yuanchen was holding the rope in his hand and was about to pass on his mana to Ghost Six.

Ghost Six opened a black iron box carved with dark patterns, Si Yuanchen stretched out two fingers to aim at the box, and wisps of golden light entered the box.

Seeing that it was golden light, Ghost Six was stunned, and then smiled.

I don't know who in the group of ghosts shouted: "It's actually golden light!"

"What's wrong with Jinguang?" Immediately after that, an ignorant imp asked.

"As we all know, the level of mana cultivation depends on the color of its light. Among the six lights, brown light is the lowest order, golden light is the highest level, and black, green, red, and purple light are the middle level. Seeing that this golden light is quite pure, this person's identity must be extraordinary! ”

"Oh, I see!" The ghosts suddenly realized.

"Now the ghost six has made a lot of money!"

"Yes, if you don't struggle for fifty years, it is estimated that the ghost six will wake up laughing when he sleeps!"

While the ghosts were talking, Si Yuanchen had already transmitted fifty years of mana into the black box.

"Okay! Ghost friend, you have taken the slave, and the ghost six wishes you a great increase in mana and a miracle. ”

Ghost Six put away the box and waved to the group of onlookers: "Scattered, scattered, scattered!"

After the ghosts dispersed, the place that was lively and noisy just now instantly became deserted.

Si Yuanchen untied the rope tied to the woman's hands, and whispered to the woman: "Okay, you are free, go where you want to go!"

The woman shook her head and whimpered in a low voice, "Thank you."

Si Yuanchen took Ji Xiao's hand, who had been staring at him, "Let's go!" ”

"Well, okay," Ji Xiao seemed to be hooked by him, and let him lead him softly.

The two of them had just taken two steps when a woman's voice came from behind: "Don't go, I have nowhere to go, I, I want to follow you......"

The two stopped and looked at the woman, and Si Yuanchen asked, "Nowhere to go?" Where are you from? ”

"I don't know, let me follow you, right?" The woman looked at Ji Si and the two with blank eyes.

"We're here to run errands in the underworld, so we can't take you," Ji Xiao refused before Si Yuanchen could speak.

Although she is very similar to Xiao Min, she is as soft as she is, and she can make herself feel pity involuntarily. But, it is because she is so much like Xiao Min, like that she always thinks of Xiao Min, Xiao Min's betrayal, and the shame that Xiao Min brings to herself. How much I loved Xiao Min before, and how much I hate her now, I can't help but feel disgusted when I see this woman who is very similar to Xiao Min. For fear of hurting the innocent impulsively, Ji Xiao didn't let her follow him.

"Please, let me follow you, right? As long as you take me and let me be a slave or a maid, you can do anything. The woman looked at the two of them, tears rolling in her eyes.

Ji Xiao frowned, raised his tone and said, "I said that we are here to do business, and we can't take you with us, you don't understand!"

As soon as his words fell, the tears that swirled in the woman's eyes for a long time were like water that opened the floodgates, and they couldn't control it, and they flowed straight out.

Seeing the woman crying, Ji Xiao was instantly at a loss. Looking at the woman, she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

"Don't cry yet! It's not that we won't take you, it's that we're in a hurry and can't take care of you!! ”

"I don't want you to take care of me, I can take care of myself, I just ask you to let me follow, I will never drag you down." The woman looked at Ji Si and Ji Si with tears in her eyes.

"This ...... I'm afraid this ......"

Ji Xiao cut off Si Yuanchen's words, and said to the woman in a vicious tone: "Why are you so annoying, if you don't bring it, you don't bring it, where is there so much nonsense."
