23. The elderly (10,000 recommended votes plus more)

"Your face is really rare! The Golden Toad Demon is not as greedy as you! Bai Liuli said helplessly: "Isn't this what you told me, the wealth of the law is the land, and the wealth is the head!" Jiang Pingyi was righteous.

"You seem to have memorized that!" Bai Liuli rolled her eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "This, don't care so much!" Being exposed by others, Jiang Ping couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

Walk briskly in the direction pointed out by Bai Liuli: "Fuliu Street, Fireworks Alley?" Jiang Ping looked at the somewhat shabby sign above his head, and read softly: "Don't stop, just keep walking inside." Bai Liuli urged.

"Are you sure you want to go inside?" Jiang Ping looked at the blocked road in front of him, and asked with a strange expression: "Won't you climb over the wall if there is no road?" Really, are you stupid? "Bai Liuli hates iron and does not become steel.

Jiang Ping really couldn't see what was so special about this dilapidated house located in the deepest part of the slum, Jiang Ping climbed over the wall with his dexterous hands, and a tall locust tree suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

Seeing this towering locust tree, Jiang Ping's heart that he had just let go of was hung up again, it stands to reason that such a tall locust tree, not to mention the wall, is separated by seven or eight houses, and it is estimated that you can see which towering branches.

But just now, Jiang Ping didn't see any locust trees outside at all, "Could it be that a ghost hit the wall?" Jiang Ping muttered to himself with some uncertainty, since Jiang Ping saw Bai Liuli, a fox spirit, he had a new understanding of this world.

The locust tree is in the legend, but it is the wood of the yin, the most popular for ghosts and evils, and the spirit of the spirit locust wood is the favorite natural treasure of the ghost cultivator, this kind of thing may have no effect on ordinary monks, but for ghosts, the locust wood is conducive to nourishing the yin energy in their body.

Jiang Ping looked around, the area of this house is not small, the layout is a little weird, the ground is full of dry leaves, and there are some strange patterns.

"Squeak!" The wooden door that had been in disrepair for a long time made a screeching sound, and the wooden door in the center of the house was pushed open, Jiang Ping suddenly turned around when he heard the sound, and the true qi in his body was running, and the qi and blood flowing in his limbs and hundreds of bones were also boiling.

As long as it is a ghost that comes out, Jiang Ping is ready to use his powerful true qi to disperse the ghosts, after all, his pure yang qi has a great restraint effect on ghosts.

Even if the ghost is so powerful that he can't deal with it, if there is no Bai Liuli, if Bai Liuli is not absolutely sure, he will not guide himself here.

"May I ask why your Excellency broke into my house?" The old man's voice came from inside the wooden door, and then an old man who was about to die walked out on crutches, and even if he was on crutches, the old man walked staggeringly, as if he would fall down at any moment.

Seeing that it was an old man, Jiang Ping's nerves, which had been tense, relaxed again, Jiang Ping had just released his spiritual sense to probe, and the qi, blood, and essence emanating from the top of the old man's head were very small, as if they would be extinguished at any time.

But he didn't find that the old man's weak qi, blood, and essence were mixed with black qi, and the black qi was entangled in the old man's Baihui acupoint and did not disperse for a long time.

"Uncle, is this your house? I wonder if you're willing to sell this house to me? Jiang Ping asked straight to the point.

"Alas, I'm old and have feelings for this old house, so Xiaoyou should change places!" The old man politely refused.

Jiang Ping stared at the old man for a while, calmly stretched out a finger, and shook it mysteriously: "Ten taels of gold? The old man was a little moved, and after hearing this price, Jiang Ping withdrew his finger with some embarrassment and said, "I won't buy it!" ”

"Alas, you little friend, why are you so anxious? The price is easy to say! Let's talk about it again, talk about it again! The old man was also anxious, and hurriedly stopped him, looking afraid that Jiang Ping would not buy it.

When Jiang Ping saw his reaction, he was overjoyed and slowed down, but he didn't mean to stop: "Okay, I'm afraid of you, I know that I am an old man, a tael of gold, and I can't be less!" The old man shouted eagerly from behind.

"Deal!" Jiang Ping took out one or two gold ingots from his arms and handed them to the old man, who took the gold ingots and bit them with his few remaining teeth, making sure that it was true, and then put the gold ingots away with satisfaction.

"Since Xiaoyou is so sincere, the old man will not hide it from Xiaoyou, whether it is the location or layout, or even the furnishings and displays in the hall, they are all top-notch, even compared to the county lord's mansion, it is not too much, but." The old man's tone was stunned, as if he was struggling with whether to tell Jiang Ping or not.

"Old man, it doesn't matter if you say it's okay, since I gave you all the money, I will definitely buy this house, you can rest assured that it is!" Jiang Ping comforted, and the old man saw that Jiang Ping was so resolute, so he continued: "This place is actually a ghost house, for more than ten years, this house has a strange cry at night, and the people who live in this room will become weaker and weaker, go to Lang Zhong to see the disease." ”

"Lang Zhong said that he was not sick, but there was a loss of yang energy in the body, and the person died not long after he came back, and this house has changed more than ten residents, all of whom died without exception, in fact, there are also two first-class masters!" The more the old man spoke, the more energetic he became, and his voice became hoarse.

After the old man finished speaking, he left the house and sent the old man away, Jiang Ping closed the door of the house, locked the door, and walked into the main hall, which was full of dust, Jiang Ping looked around and realized that he was afraid that he had been deceived, and the old man did not live here at all!

If the old man lived here for a long time, even if he didn't come to the main hall often, there would always be ventilation with the windows open, at least the house and courtyard would not have so much dust: "Oh, it's a big loss, a haunted house that no one wants, I actually spent a tael of gold to buy it!" If you go to Yanyu Building, I don't know how many singers I can find! It's a big loss! It's a big loss! Jiang Ping muttered in annoyance.

"What singer? I didn't see it, Jiang Ping, you are not very old, and you have a lot of ideas! Bai Liuli said faintly in Jiang Ping's ear, Jiang Ping showed an embarrassed smile: "This, purely cultural exchange, well, cultural exchange!" Jiang Ping prevaricated and found a reason.

"Huh? Cultural exchange? Then remember to take me with you next time, so that I can see what the cultural exchange of the human race is like! Bai Liuli didn't break it, but said to Jiang Ping with a playful smile: "Ahem, it's easy to say, it's easy to say." Jiang Ping agreed with a dodgy gaze, completely lacking the ruthlessness of the previous battle.

Bai Liuli jumped off Jiang Ping's shoulder, revealing a human form, the silver-white fox fur wrapped her delicate body, her beautiful face showed a contemplative color, and she took a few steps in the house with long white jade-like legs, her ten fingers changed and intertwined in front of her, and the purple aura flew up, shining on the old locust tree in the center of the house.

"Sorrow!" A strange shaking sound came out of the old locust tree, Jiang Ping saw that Bai Liuli's original black and white eyes changed into purple red, mysterious and exquisite, so that Jiang Ping couldn't help but look at it twice, where Bai Liuli's eyes were staring, a flame rose, and the old locust tree suddenly shed red blood, which looked very hideous and terrifying.

"It seems that this place is really a yin and ghost vein, otherwise how could a spiritual spirit locust tree be born!" Bai Liuli's voice was lazy, and at the same time, a purple fox tail appeared behind him, the fox tail was very large as if it was about to cover the sky and the sun, the purple fox tail shone with flames, swept over the huge locust tree, and then disappeared, everything was calm, as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Ping looked at this scene in a daze, in addition to being shocked, he also had a little longing, "What, want to learn?" Bai Liuli saw Jiang Ping's expression, and asked in a seductive tone: "Mmmm, yes!" Jiang Ping nodded hurriedly, looking impatient.

"But you don't have a tail!" Bai Liuli quipped, Jiang Ping's face turned dark, and Bai Liuli was playing with himself, Bai Liuli saw Jiang Ping's face darkened, and smiled stupidly and comforted: "Actually, the magic power I taught you, as long as you cultivate it well, it will not be worse than the magic power I just cast." ”

"Okay, the problem here has been solved during the day, and there will be a good show in the evening!" Bai Liuli looked at the old locust tree in the center of the house and muttered to herself.

Jiang Ping didn't care, he found a place to sit cross-legged at random, and entered the meditation and transformation to see the vine chopping diagram, the sword he displayed when he fought with Zhang Keji's divine soul always lingered in his mind, Jiang Ping visualized the chopping vine diagram again, the old man appeared again, swinging the sword, throwing the sword, collecting the sword, and the vine falling, all in one go, Jiang Ping clearly saw that the old man passed through a strange symbol when he swung the sword.

Jiang Ping seemed to grasp the point where he swung the sword, and visualized the vine chopping diagram over and over again, trying to find out the inspiration for wielding the sword, until the sun set in the west and dusk came, Jiang Ping woke up from the meditation transformation with satisfaction.

After contemplating for such a long time, Jiang Ping had a new understanding of the sword he had comprehended, and Jiang Ping felt that if he was fighting Zhang Keji once, with this sword alone, he should be able to directly kill Zhang Keji's soul in the illusion.

"Well, it seems that I am refreshed, and I should have gained a lot!" Bai Liuli walked in, still carrying a box in his hand, Jiang Ping looked around, the dust had disappeared, the incense burner in the house was smoking, and a faint fragrance filled the entire room.

"Come on, I just went out and bought some food, I'm full, and there will be a tough battle to fight in a while." Bai Liuli opened the box, took out a plate of delicate side dishes, and put it in front of Jiang Ping: "Well, it's so fragrant!" Jiang Ping sniffled, looking happy.

"Huh? No, what you bought with the money? Jiang Ping asked suspiciously: "Well, aren't you rich, I'll use it to buy things." Bai Liuli smiled.

Jiang Ping's face changed suddenly, and he touched his empty pocket, Jiang Ping felt that his heart was about to break: "Just these dishes, spent dozens of taels of gold?" Jiang Ping asked with a trembling voice, but there was still some expectation in his words, expecting Bai Liuli to give him a little money left.

"That's right, I don't have much to say, but when I passed by the jewelry store, silk shop, and rouge shop, I bought a little something, so I spent it all!" Bai Liuli didn't care.

"Click!" Jiang Ping seemed to hear the sound of his heartbreak, it was a whole few dozen taels of gold, not to mention buying things, it was enough to buy a storefront! "Sister Liuli, don't look at jokes, there are so many things, how did you get them?" Jiang Ping asked as if he was dying.

"I've got a storage bag!" Bai Liuli took it out of nowhere, and said while eating a string of rock sugar gourds, Jiang Ping was silent, he actually forgot about this stubble, Jiang Ping ate a few bites of food with a depressed face, and looked heartbroken.

"Okay, this is for you, look at you like this, you don't know and think I'm bullying you!" Bai Liuli smiled and threw Jiang Ping a worn-out small bag, Jiang Ping was curious about the bag, and looked up and down: "Isn't this what I searched from Zhang Yiqi!" Jiang Ping looked resentful.

"Well, yes, this is an inferior storage bag, about the size of a small room, just right for you." Bai Liuli explained softly.
