Chapter 20: The Ghost Market
Early in the morning, Xiao Lingran had a dream, she dreamed of Nianxin, thinking that she hadn't been to see her when she had been busy practicing swords recently, so she got up and went to find her temporary daddy Changqing, only to see Changqing studying there early in the morning, but she didn't see the doll, so she asked,
"Brother Changqing, where is my heart, I haven't come to see her for a long time, and I miss her very much."
Chang Qing raised his head and saw Xiao Lingran, and his embarrassed expression was revealed,
"Xing'er, I'll be honest with you, don't be angry."
After listening to this, Xiao Lingran was a little puzzled. Chang Qing then spoke, "There is a price for the master to get the holy fruit......
"The price? At what cost? Xiao Lingran asked.
"The price is ...... Give your mind back. Chang Qing was a little afraid to look at Xiao Lingran.
Xiao Lingran was very angry, so he asked rhetorically, "So you guys just gang up to hide it from me, right?" I said how I asked the old man about his heart, and he moved in and asked me to train, so that's it. Dropping the words, Xiao Lingran slammed the door and left, just thinking that he wanted to become stronger, so that he could snatch his mind back in the future!
It's been another half a month of fighting, Xiao Lingran has also learned from Dan Qingzi for a long time, the foundation is almost the same, and it's time to learn some real materials. No, early in the morning, Dan Qingzi took Xiao Lingran to the back mountain for training.
"Sir, what are we doing here today?" Xiao Lingran asked, she wore a cyan shirt today, because it was very thin and the wind was very cool, this was bought for Xiao Lingran a few days ago in Banxia, saying that it would not be hot to wear in summer.
Dan Qingzi didn't answer her question, holding her own "Walking Rabbit", it was a demonstration, this time the move was completely different from the first time Xiao Lingran showed it. Dan Qingzi's sword swinging moves and posture this time are very feminine and feminine, and it should be deliberately learned by Xiao Ling.
Xiao Lingran looked very seriously, only to see Dan Qingzi swing and retract, the action was very elegant, but the force of the swing was very large, the speed was fast, and the shot was decisive; There is a murderous intent hidden in the softness, the body jumps, the legs are tightened, the sword pierces from the air, and then stabs to the ground, as light as a flying butterfly, and as dangerous as a thorny rose.
A set of movements is very physically demanding, and although it looks very easy, it takes a lot of practice to achieve the deadly effect of the moves. Dan Qingzi didn't look like his face changed, and he didn't pant, which really made Xiao Lingran admire.
"Do you see clearly?" Dan Qingzi asked, carrying the sword behind his back.
"See clearly." Xiao Lingran replied.
She thought that Dan Qingzi was going to be like before, let her see it again and then learn it to her, but she was stopped by Dan Qingzi just as she was about to pick up the sword.
"This set of swordsmanship is more difficult, I will slowly teach you one move at a time." Dan Qingzi spoke, and then stood in a row with Xiao Lingran.
In the next time, Dan Qingzi split every action very delicately, teaching one move at a time, originally in his plan to learn this set of swordsmanship in a month, but Xiao Lingran learned the speed was unexpectedly fast, Dan Qingzi just finished talking about a move, Xiao Lingran was almost able to play a few points on the side, so Dan Qingzi taught more seriously, Xiao Lingran learned more quickly, and after a while, he learned most of this swordsmanship. At this time, Dan Qingzi miscalculated, although Xiao Lingran was talented and intelligent, he didn't expect his learning ability to be so strong, he still wanted to teach slowly in the next month, but looking at this speed, she may be able to use it proficiently in less than half a month, so what to do in the second half a month?
Dan Qingzi stopped moving, thought for a moment, turned to Xiao Lingran and said, "Don't move around here, I'll come when I go." ”
"Okay." Xiao Ling responded with a voice, so he threw himself into sword training again.
On the other side, Dan Qingzi found Yao Lao, as if he was discussing something, Yao Lao nodded again and again, as if the conversation was very smooth. Dan Qingzi strolled out of the house, turned into a wisp of smoke and flew away where no one was, and after a while, Xiao Lingran saw him return.
"Xiao Lingran, you go down the mountain with me." Dan Qingzi said.
"Down the mountain?" Xiao Lingran's eyes widened in disbelief, since the last time she ate and drank with Tu Yehu, she had always longed for the delicious food under the mountain.
"Why, don't you want to?" Dan Qingzi looked at Xiao Lingran who was in a daze in front of her, and couldn't guess what she was planning.
"No, no, no, it's too late for me to be happy." Xiao Lingran hurriedly waved his hand.
"That's good." As he spoke, Dan Qingzi threw the "Walking Rabbit" in his hand, chanting a few spells in his mouth, and the sword suddenly became several times larger and floated higher than the ground. Xiao Lingran watched from the side, silent, and Dan Qingzi stretched out his hand to signal Xiao Lingran to stand up. Xiao Lingran held his big hand and stepped on the body of the "Walking Rabbit" very smoothly. Dan Qingzi then also stood behind Xiao Lingran.
After Dan Qingzi stood up, the sword rose and flew quickly in the air, towards the distance. Xiao Lingran stood in front, watching the sword carry him higher and higher, stretching out his head and looking under him, his body shook, his legs couldn't help but weaken, and he almost fell down, so he simply hugged Dan Qingzi's thighs and didn't let go.
"......" Dan Qingzi felt the pressure, looked down and saw that it was Xiao Lingran, so he stretched out a hand and dragged her up again, Xiao Lingran was still afraid, so he grabbed Dan Qingzi's sleeve tightly with both hands.
"Aren't you not afraid of heaven and earth?" Dan Qingzi made fun of her with a smile.
"I, I, if I fall, my little life will really be gone, and I will live a long life." Xiao Lingran stood there trembling and replied confidently.
"Don't worry, I won't let you fall." Dan Qingzi replied.
After a while, he arrived in front of the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion in Fenglan City, and when he walked in, the familiar shopkeeper ran over enthusiastically again, looked at the two of them without being noticed, and greeted Xiao Lingran enthusiastically when he saw it:
"This girl looks familiar. Oh, I remember, isn't this the girl who came with the Seven Princes last time? The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Dan Qingzi looked at Xiao Lingran and asked, "What Seven Princes?" ”
The shopkeeper replied: "It's the little prince of the fox clan." ”
Dan Qingzi stared at Xiao Lingran with disdain, as if he was scrutinizing, he must have wondered when you met Tu Ye, and when did you come here to eat with him?
The shopkeeper didn't know, looked at Xiao Lingran with a praising gaze, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, when the girl came last time, the left half of her face seemed to be ...... There is still a large birthmark, I still felt a pity at the time, but now it's good, the birthmark is gone, and the girl looks more and more beautiful, and she will be a big beauty in the future. ”
Xiao Lingran was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said directly: "Where, where." ”
It may be that the little guy has been greeting Xiao Ling for too long, and Dan Qingzi seems to be impatient to look at it when he is hanging aside, so he takes out a token-like thing from his arms, the whole body is black, surrounded by gold edges, and the middle is also written in gold "Ghost Market". When the shopkeeper saw it, his face changed, his smile turned serious, and he whispered,
"Come with me, two of you."
Then the two of them took to the back kitchen, where there was a gray wall, and a few wall tiles protruded, only to see the shopkeeper press the wall tiles down according to his own order, and suddenly a whirlpool appeared on the wall, shopkeeper turned around and said very respectfully,
"Please."
Then Dan Qingzi walked into the whirlpool, and Xiao Lingran also followed in when she saw this, and when she opened her eyes, she was already in another place. There are two pillars at the door, and there is a door plaque in the middle of the pillar that reads "Ghost Market". There were two people at the door, they were wearing masks, and when they saw Xiao Lingran coming, they handed over the two masks, Xiao Lingran put them on like Dan Qingzi, so the two of them went in smoothly.
There were crowds of people in the ghost market, but the atmosphere was very heavy, and the people were very quiet, which made Xiao Lingran a little uncomfortable, so he pulled Dan Qingzi's sleeve and asked:
"Where is this, sir?"
Dan Qingzi also lowered his voice and replied, "This is a ghost market, and many people are trading rare treasures here. Then, he took out a token that was exactly the same as before and handed it to Xiao Lingran. Xiao Lingran took it and asked again,
"What is this?"
Dan Qingzi explained: "This is a pass for the ghost market, with which you can enter and exit the ghost market at will. ”
"Sir, where did you get it?" Xiao Lingran asked.
"Picked it up."
Xiao Lingran blinked and looked at Dan Qingzi, thinking to himself why he couldn't see or pick it up, Dan Qingzi looked at her with a little weakness, but Xiao Lingran still chose to believe him, but in fact, people who can enter the ghost market are powerful, and the pass to this ghost market can only be bought at a high price. Of course, the owner of the ghost market admires the master, and will also choose to send someone to send this token quietly on a dark and windy night.
The people on the street are all wearing masks, and they are basically alone, Xiao Lingran was so panicked how he looked, so he said to himself, "These people don't talk at all, it's gloomy." Unexpectedly, Dan Qingzi heard it, and he explained very seriously:
"Because there are not only people here, but also people from the Demon Race and the Protoss are mixed together, and wearing a mask is also for the sake of respect for those who come, and there will be no estrangement because of the appearance of the race."
Xiao Lingran nodded after listening, Dan Qingzi took her to a place where the iron man was beaten, Xiao Lingran was a little puzzled. I saw that the stall owner there had already fallen asleep on the rattan chair, and the smell of wine was bubbling in his mouth, and he choked on the smoke.
"Mr. Ouyang." Dan Qingzi spoke, and the man actually opened one eye.
