11. Night Market
The little Taoist priest didn't seem to see the eyes of the white-clothed monk, and continued: "Jinshan Temple was rescued by someone and owed a great favor, this debt is not easy to repay, do you say yes, Master Yixiu." ”
The white-clothed monk had a nameless fire burning in his heart, but he quickly calmed down, folded his hands, and proclaimed the Buddha's name.
"Amitabha!"
When the little Taoist priest saw the expression of the white-clothed monk, he knew that although the other party was young, his Buddhism was profound, and he would not be easily aroused by himself, so he couldn't help but pout.
"Okay, Master Yixiu, I won't say much nonsense, the purpose of your coming here today should be to repay the favor."
The white-clothed monk neither nodded nor shook his head.
But the little Taoist priest knew very well that he was right, he snorted lightly, and was about to say something, when a palm-sized crane suddenly flew in the sky. The crane landed on the little Taoist's shoulder, and suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke with a bang.
A blank sheet of paper fell leisurely from the smoke.
The little Taoist priest reached out and picked up the white paper, looked at it carefully, and a fire erupted from his fingertips, igniting the paper.
Then, he didn't even take care of the white-clothed monk, sat on his mount, and said, "Let's go." ”
The army opened its way again, and the people marched with great strength.
The white-clothed monk looked at the back of the little Taoist priest leaving, muttered for a while, staggered his position with the little monk, and galloped in the other direction.
……
At the same time, Wang Bo, who was far away in Yuzhou, didn't know that there were a few uninvited guests on his territory, and he was now dealing with a very tricky matter in Yuzhou City.
Yuzhou, which is an ancient place name, used to be called Chuzhou, but at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the emperor named Chuzhou as Yuzhou, which has been used until now.
After Wang Bo's army captured the city of Yuzhou, it was found that the city did not seem to be peaceful.
Every night at night, there's always a mess of things.
And these messes do not refer to humans, but to demons and monsters, of course, more accurately, ghosts.
After all, this place seems to be very close to the myths and legends, so every day at night, some ghosts and ghosts often appear, committing murder and hurting people.
This also leads to the fact that every day when the sun goes down in Yuzhou City, every household will close their doors and hang lanterns, and the whole city is deserted and looks like a curfew.
At first, Wang Bo didn't care, but later received a report that in recent days, several young girls would disappear every night in Yuzhou City, causing panic in Yuzhou City.
So Wang Bo teleported to Yuzhou City to deal with this matter.
The reason why Wang Bo wants to end up in person is because the mechanical soldiers under his command are okay to beat people, but it is not okay to fight ghosts, if it is useful, Yuzhou City will not have young girls missing for several days in a row.
Therefore, Wang Bo had no choice but to end up in person.
Of course, there is another reason because...... Wang Bo was very interested in these ghosts.
He once summoned some military spirits in the mummy world with the help of the Black Book of Death to deal with the enemy, but it was just a flash in the pan at that time, and Wang Bo quickly sent these military souls back.
Later, he was unwilling to be the caretaker of the dead in Anubis, and was deprived of all the knowledge of the Black Book of Death.
As for the ghosts and ghosts, Wang Bo has never seen them again.
Now that he has the opportunity, Wang Bo wants to take a closer look at what these ghosts and ghosts look like, and what is the difference between the ghosts of the East and the West.
When Wang Bo came to Yuzhou City, it was still daytime.
So he waited for the sun to go down, and when the last rays of the sunset disappeared, the entire city of Yuzhou had fallen into silence.
Every household is closed, even the pharmacy and tea shop are closed.
As for the place where the fireworks were supposed to be flourishing at night, the signs of closure were also hung up, driving away all the guests, and the girls gathered in groups to cheer each other up.
Wang Bo walked alone on the deserted streets, looking up, the lights of thousands of homes had already been extinguished, the whole city was dark, and there was not even a single watchman on the street.
You can see that everyone seems to be scared.
Wang Bo walked for a while, and he didn't see any ghosts, let alone Yin soldiers and ghosts, but it was undeniable that there was indeed a trace of cold breath in the air.
He tried his best to restrain Jiuyang's true qi and slow down his breathing, making himself look like an ordinary scholar in a hurry.
When Wang Bo crossed a street and was about to turn a corner, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter.
He couldn't help but be stunned, his ears twitched a few times, and his eyes looked along the place where the sound came from.
It was a small alley.
Wang Boyi was bold and walked along the small alley almost without thinking. At first, the alley was a little narrow, but after dozens of steps, the alley became wider and wider.
At the same time, the laughter is getting closer.
In addition to laughter, Wang Bo also heard more sounds, gongs, shouts, footsteps, laughter, and shouting...... Wang Bo walked faster and faster, and after a while, he passed through this alley of about 100 meters, and came to a bustling street in an instant.
The street is brightly lit, flags are hung high, and the streets are bustling with pedestrians.
Wang Bo looked around, and he could see the husband and wife walking together, the young lady who seemed to have just returned from the youth, the scholar, and the children who were laughing and running away.
There are also vendors selling steamed buns and vermilion jewelry.
Not far away, a restaurant is open, and a flag with the word "wine" is hanging on the second floor, fluttering in the wind.
Wang Bo looked around, there were wine and beauties, there were also high-rollers, and there were some shopkeepers who dragged a long tone and kept shuttling between the guests.
Wang Bo walked along the crowd and saw monkeys, lion dancers, jugglers, and even more showmans, holding a big knife, crackling and slashing on his body, sparks splashing everywhere, but not hurting a single fur.
From this point of view, the street looks like a night market full of flowers.
But the problem is that the entire city of Yuzhou has fallen into a dead silence since the sun set, and every household is closed, where does the night market come from?
Wang Bo was unusually surprised.
And in this kind of flowery night market, Wang Bo always feels a cold breath, through his pores, wanting to drill into his body.
However, as soon as this breath came in, it was burned clean by Jiuyang True Qi.
Wang Bo passed by a stall, and a hawker smiled at Wang Bo: "This little brother, do you want a cage of steamed buns, my steamed buns are big and round, with thin skin and thick meat, which can be called a delicacy in the world." ”
Wang Bo looked down, and the white meat bun exuded a burst of aroma.
This aroma immediately tickled Wang Bo's heart.
