Verse 579: The old man in the cloak

"A terrible Horcrux?" After listening to Pu Zitong's explanation, Zhang Zhen muttered.

"Well, in fact, auxiliary horcruxes are somewhat similar to auxiliary soul skills, because they are of limited help to soul warfare, so they are rarely favored by people, no one favors demand, and there are naturally fewer people who are willing to study and manufacture, and occasionally go out in the alley to demand people like you, it is not enough to support a soul master who specializes in making horcruxes for a living, after all, soul masters also have to eat, in modern terms, it is supply and demand that determine the market, and the market will feed back and develop." After Zhang Zhi finished talking, Pu Zitong nodded and continued to explain, so that Zhang Zhi could understand the reason for the scarcity of auxiliary horcruxes.

"I see, but there are also people who make this type of auxiliary Horcrux, right? Isn't it true that all Soul Masters are born to create offensive and defensive Horcruxes? Zhang Su quickly understood what Pu Zitong meant, and continued to stroll in the dark street in the closed corner, sensing the fluctuations of the Horcruxes around him, and while perceiving, he asked Pu Zitong softly.

"I didn't say that there will be no auxiliary Horcruxes, but I just said that most of the Auxiliary Horcruxes rarely refine auxiliary Horcruxes, so it will lead to very rare auxiliary Horcruxes, and the types of auxiliary Horcruxes sold in the world will not be complete, if you are looking for an auxiliary Horcreature with a specific effect, there is no luck, and it is really difficult to find a suitable ...... in a Horcrux market, but why should you look for a water-avoiding auxiliary Horcrux? Didn't the two of us already destroy the ghost nest under Gong Lake last night? Could it be that there are still hidden ghosts under the water of Nagon Lake? After Zhang Su asked back, Pu Zitong shook his head and explained, after explaining, he showed a look of curiosity and puzzlement, and opened his mouth to ask Zhang Su.

"Naturally, there are no ghosts under Gonghu, but I got a tip from the frog-hand monkey-headed ghost, and I know a stronghold of the Nine Temples called the Little Temple, I plan to sneak there to find the trace of the dump ghost, and the small temple seems to be underwater, and it has to go through a waterway, so for insurance, I want to use a water-avoiding Horcrux to protect the soul, if something happens to my soul in that small temple, I can also ensure that I will break through the water in time and will not be trapped underground." Zhang Su did not hide the purpose of the Horcrux he was looking for, and responded to Pu Zitong.

"Little Temple? What is that place? Is that the haunted stronghold that the frog-hand monkey-headed ghost told you? I don't believe in the frog-handed monkey-headed ghost, so I suggest that you don't venture to the place called the 'Little Temple', if the Nine Temples Yama Organization sets a trap in advance, it won't be so easy for you to get out of it after you enter, even if there is a Horcrux to avoid water, it is not safe. Hearing Zhang Su's response, Pu Zitong finally understood why Zhang Su came to this closed-corner dark street to buy Horcruxes, but she didn't have a good impression of the frog-handed monkey-headed ghost, so there was no so-called trust, and reminded Zhang Su worriedly.

"I have interrogated the frog-handed monkey-headed ghost, and I have made a mutual trust contract with it, and the souls are bound to each other, thinking that it will most likely not deceive me, and the 'little temple' is the only clue in my hand, if I don't investigate, I will completely lose the trace of the dumper, I can't let the dumper run away like this, I want to follow its footprints again, grab its tail, so as to avenge Luxengo, too."

Let my life be calm again. Zhang Su knew what Pu Zitong was worried about, but he couldn't be as ignorant as Pu Zitong, in order to chase and kill the overturned ghost, he had taken many risks, and he was no longer afraid of the risks that might appear later, so he explained to Pu Zitong.

"Since you believe in that frog-handed monkey-headed pervert, then I won't say anything more, just don't die in vain, I'll try to lure you as much as I can." After Zhang Su's explanation, Pu Zitong was silent for a moment, she knew that Zhang Su's decision had been made, so she no longer stopped Zhang Su, but simply responded, after responding, she also exuded soul power, helping Zhang Su to perceive the types of Horcruxes on the stalls around her, hoping that there would be water-avoiding Horcruxes that would help Zhang Su.

Just when Zhang Su and Pu Zitong were perceiving, suddenly, Zhang Su noticed a few mild and strange Horcrux fluctuations in the direction of more than ten meters inside the alley, perceiving those special Horcrux fluctuations, Zhang Su was sure that it was not the same attack Horcrux, nor the defensive Horcruxes that can be seen everywhere, but a bunch of chicken ribs but rare auxiliary Horcruxes, although I don't know if there are any water-avoiding Horcruxes among those auxiliary Horcruxes, but Zhang Su still walked over quickly, took Pu Zitong and approached the stall where there were many auxiliary horcruxes.

"Ahem......, um......, what do you want?" Just after Zhang Su and Pu Zitong approached the stall that was decorating the Horcruxes with a blanket cloth, behind the stall, against the wall, an old man with gray eyebrows who was wrapped in a head and a cloak that was photographed by the dim light of the horse lamp suddenly coughed twice, and asked Zhang Su and Pu Zitong in a hoarse voice, as if he was full of strength to meet his business.

"Old ...... Old man, we want to find a fire-avoiding Horcrux, I wonder if you have one here? Zhang Su heard the question of the gray-eyed old man, briefly sensed the soul power on the old man's body, and then used his soul eye to identify the old man's vicissitudes of life and folded face, smiled slightly, and said his intention to him, but he did not say his true intention, but deliberately made one up and asked tentatively.

"Avoiding fire? What kind of fire are you trying to avoid? Sunfire? Fireworks? Ghost fire? I have fireworks and ghost fires here, and you can't refine them to avoid the sun fire, and you can't buy them from me. After Zhang Su asked, the old man raised his somewhat gloomy eyes to look at Zhang Su, and once again let out a hoarse voice in his old voice, and replied to Zhang Su, telling Zhang Su of his sales goods.

"Unfortunately, I just need to avoid the sun, if I don't have it, then forget ......it, but in addition to the fire, I also want to find some shelter from the dust, I don't know if you have one here?" Seeing that the old man answered his question seriously, Zhang Su had a little more affection for the old man in front of him, and while stretching out his hand to explore the Horcruxes placed on the baggage cloth, he continued to ask the old man, still not showing the intention of looking for water-avoiding Horcruxes.

"Don't touch! I also have a horcrux to avoid dust, there are soul dust, more than dust, but there is no dust avoidance, I don't know which one you need? Seeing Zhang Su reaching out to touch his Horcrux, the old man suddenly roared

The hand wrapped in clothes pushed away Zhang Su's arm to stop Zhang Su's behavior, and only after Zhang Su stopped his movements in surprise did the old man recover to a hoarse and low voice, and responded to Zhang Su.

"I'm sorry, I just need to use a dust-avoiding horcrux, you don't have it here, then forget it......" Zhang Su was first startled by the old man's roar and movements, hurriedly stopped the movements in his hand, and then retracted his hand, and said to the gray-eyed old man with a wry smile, and he didn't really plan to buy a dust-avoiding horcrux.

"Little soul master, don't go around in circles with the old man anymore, just say what you want, my old man has been refining weapons for many years, and he still has a reputation, he won't kill you, just say what you want." Seeing that Zhang Su avoided the Horcruxes he had twice and picked out the Horcruxes he didn't have, the gray-eyed old man behind the stall had already seen Zhang Su's Jiujiu, his eyes suddenly deepened, and under the dim light of the horse lantern, he was no longer as dim as before, but became much more shrewd and dark, and asked Zhang Su with a little anger.

"Originally, I only wanted to buy a Horcrux from you, but now there are two favorite Horcruxes in front of me, but I don't know if Your Excellency will cut your love to me......" Hearing the question of the gray-eyed old man, Zhang Wei smiled slyly and asked the gray-eyed old man.

"Which two?" The gray-eyed old man looked at the expression on Zhang Su's face, couldn't help frowning, and asked Zhang Su again in a hoarse voice, as if he felt that Zhang Su's customer, who was a little strange.

"A Horcrux to keep out the water, plus a Horcrux with a mask on your face." After the gray-eyed old man asked, Zhang Su grinned slightly, and replied to the gray-eyed old man with soul power, and the voice was only heard by Pu Zitong beside him and the gray-eyed old man behind the stall.

"How do you know I'm masked?!" After Zhang Su answered, the gray-eyed old man raised his eyebrows suddenly, stared at Zhang Su with straight eyes, his eyes were no longer dim, but they were as moist and clear as a teenager, and asked Zhang Su, obviously a little excited.

"Don't be nervous, I'm sending you a message, but I don't plan to expose the fact that you're wearing a mask, as for how I saw it, you don't need to know, my ultimate goal is just to find the Horcrux I want, and I don't care about anything else." Seeing that the gray-eyebrow old man in front of him was excitedly flooded with soul power, Zhang Su was not too nervous, but simply comforted, showing a friendly smile.

"You're threatening me? Thought I would be able to sell you the Horcrux cheaply? After Zhang Su smiled and comforted, the gray-eyed old man put away the large amount of soul power that was emitted, but he narrowed his eyes again, looked at Zhang Su unpleasantly, and questioned.

"Haha, I just hope to get the Horcrux I want at a fair price, if you think I'm threatening you, then it's okay......" Seeing the gray-eyed old man questioning himself, Zhang Wei smiled and said, not denying or affirming, just replied ambiguously.

"Is it a fair price? You're pretending to be just trying to buy a Horcrux to keep out the water, right? I have people here to avoid river water, and there are people who avoid dark water, I don't know which one you need, just say what you want first, and then talk about the price. After Zhang Su answered, the gray-eyed old man glanced at Zhang Su, pointed to a horn spiral-shaped Horcrux and a bead-shaped Horcrux on the baggage cloth and confirmed to Zhang Su, obviously not wanting to talk about the price with Zhang Su meaninglessly before he was sure what Horcruxes to sell.
