Chapter 708: Honest Confession
A moment later.
"You ...... Who are you? ”
Lao Jin was obviously frightened, trembling all over, his fat body curled up in the corner, like a frightened animal, looking at the two Taoist priests in front of him, although they looked righteous but did things as terrifying as evil ghosts.
"This is the secret of your ability to keep a thousand cups from being poured before?"
At this time, Wei Zhu had successfully snatched the bead with a rather beautiful appearance from the other party's hand and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and hurriedly picked up his mana and carefully comprehended it.
I think there's something mysterious about it.
At the same time, the junior brother on the side explained to the other party very seriously and patiently: "You don't have to worry, we are all good people......
"Good...... Good? Lao Jin looked at them as if he were a liar full of lies, and he didn't believe them at all.
Nonsense, these two guys snatched their rare treasures as soon as they came up, how could he believe it?
The junior brother nodded and continued to explain, "That's right! Do you know that this treasure in your hand is a magic weapon for demons! Full of yin energy and evil aura, although it can help you not pour a thousand cups for a while, it is easy to make your essence leak out, your body will be weak, and even in the long run, it is not impossible to reduce your lifespan! ”
"But you don't have to thank us too much. We saved your life, but we didn't want to repay you for anything......"
He said it very upright and awe-inspiring, and he was very modest, as if he had seen the excitement of the other party crying with remorse and kneeling on the ground to kowtow to himself after learning the truth.
However, unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Lao Jin didn't seem to have any unexpected emotions, but nodded with a natural face: "I know!" ”
"You don't have to be too polite...... Uh, you know?! ”
The junior brother was about to wave his hand to be polite, but when he heard this unexpected words, he was immediately stunned, looked at him with wide eyes, patted the other party's shoulder heavily, and scolded angrily: "Do you know that you are still dangling around with this damn bead?" And dare to swallow it in your stomach and try to drink? You don't want to die?! ”
He still thinks that this guy has a treasure by chance, and he only did this when he saw that he was happy to hunt, who knew that he was knowingly committing a crime?!
Wouldn't that be an added sin!
Today's people are really confused, planning to die for money!
"This ......"
Lao Jin was inexplicably shot a little shorter, stunned, and said with some grievance: "But this bead itself can only be used three times!" I can't use it even if I want to use it for the rest of my life! ”
When he bought it before, the seller had already made it clear to him, and he would only buy it after thinking twice.
At most, three times of essence leakage can only make him have a minor illness such as wind chill, and at best, he will be bedridden for a day with a fever, so as not to hurt the root, which is why he dares to use it!
In exchange for this price to impress others, and to make himself in the limelight, there are still a hundred taels of silver to earn, he feels that it is very cost-effective!
"Can only be used three times?"
The junior brother was stunned again, and turned his head to look at Wei Zhu, who was studying the beads on the side, with some confusion.
Wei Zhu nodded, which confirmed this statement, weighed the bead, and said with some sigh: "This bead is indeed a little weird. ”
"This thing should obviously be the masterpiece of some kind of cultivated ghost, and some hexology has been applied to it, so that it will be added with the ability to achieve a thousand cups by absorbing the host's essence."
"But this spell is very fragile, it will dissipate at most three or four times, so as not to harm the host's roots."
"It's a bit unbelievable......"
The strangest thing to him is that what kind of idle and boring ghost would choose to make this useless bead?!
Because on the bright side, there is no benefit to be obtained from making this bead!
And because the gold content is extremely low, the strength of the ghosts that make this thing should not be strong, but the spells are used quite exquisitely.
At first, Wei Zhu thought that he might have caught a big fish, but now that he looks at it, it doesn't seem to be the case.
I couldn't help but be disappointed.
However, there is still a problem that needs to be solved.
He grabbed the bead, looked at the old gold in front of him again, and asked suspiciously, "Where did you get this thing from?" Could it be that you are in collusion with which goblin? ”
It was hard for him to think of a goblin who would go out of his way to make something like this for the man in front of him who had no effect other than drinking.
"Don't dare!" Although Lao Jin was wide and fat, he was timid in nature, so he hurriedly shook his head, "This thing...... It's me...... I bought it. ”
"Bought?"
Wei Zhu and his junior brother were both stunned, and they all glanced at each other, and they could see the puzzled look in each other's eyes.
"Where did you buy it from? Tell me more about ......," Wei Zhu asked with a deep groan.
Lao Jin hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the other party's "vicious" eyes, he was frightened again, and quickly lowered his head and said, "I bought it in a place called Ghost Market." ”
"Ghost City?"
"Yes, it's a mysterious, similar to our mortal bazaar, but there's everyone there. No, more precisely, it should be everything! He said cautiously, looking around with a sneaky gaze as he spoke, as if he was afraid that something would suddenly come out and scare him.
"There are ordinary people like me, there are ghosts, there are demons...... There I saw monsters with bull heads and human bodies, birdmen with wings, and many women who looked too beautiful to look like people, but had fox's tails behind them......"
He said word by word while recalling, as if he had recalled some terrible picture in his mind, his face became a little worse, and he secretly raised his head to look at the eyes of the two Taoist priests in front of him, and then shrank back like a thief.
I was afraid that I would accidentally anger the two "bandits" in front of me for a while.
Anyway, he just thought about it at this time, just explain honestly, as for the bead, he didn't expect to get it back, and it would be good if he could save his life today.
And Wei Zhu and the others didn't care about these details, because they had been attracted by the "ghost market" that the other party said.
"It sounds like a lot of demons are gathered, but there are still such ghosts in this vicinity?!" Wei Zhu couldn't help frowning, feeling that this matter was probably much more serious than he expected!
Especially if there are still many mortals living here!
Isn't it the same as being in the company of a pack of man-eating beasts?
But there's another thing that's a bit strange.
"You mean, there are ordinary people like you going around there?"
To Wei Zhu, this is almost like a herd of little sheep roaming freely under the gaze of a hungry big bad wolf.
And can you survive until now?
It's incredible!
"That's right, although there are not many ordinary people like me, there are some." Lao Jin hurriedly replied, "There will be all kinds of magical things on sale inside, from ordinary delicious snacks to magical magic baby things!" As long as you can afford it, you can buy it! And it is said to be absolutely safe! ”
"At least my old gold has been in and out several times, and I have bought and sold something, and I haven't encountered any trouble......"
Lao Jin's words suddenly froze, because he realized that he was now in two "big troubles" because of this bead.
However, this sentence is obviously not easy to say here, so I can only quickly change the subject: "But not everyone can enter and exit at will, you must have a special talisman to find the location of that place, otherwise you can't even find where the gate is......"
"And this kind of weirdness?!"
Both Taoist priests had vaguely realized that they seemed to have discovered a big secret that no one knew!
Wei Zhu thought for a moment and asked, "Take out that talisman and show it to us!" ”
"This ...... Can I not pay it? Lao Jin suddenly looked embarrassed and looked a little entangled, "This is a treasure that I got with great difficulty, without it, I will never be able to go to that place again." ”
"Do you still want to go to that ghost-infested place?! Do you want your little life anymore? ”
The junior brother became unusually irritable, and rebuked loudly: "Those monsters may not eat you once or twice, but they are fierce and sinister by nature, how could they let this piece of fat escape from their hands?" Maybe I'll eat you next time! ”
"You'd better hand over the talisman quickly, so that you can save your life! Even if you don't want your own life, you have to think about your family, right? ”
Under the persuasion of this "bitter mouth", Lao Jin finally reluctantly took out the talisman hidden under the sole of his shoe, and handed it to them tremblingly, looking at the painful appearance of the flesh, he was obviously very reluctant.
Wei Zhu pinched his nose with his left hand, and with his right hand, he carefully pinched the talisman that still smelled of feet from the other party's hand with two fingers, and put it not far in front of him to take a closer look.
This talisman seems to be made of some kind of material similar to thin jade, but the carving is quite delicate and exquisite, and there are all kinds of mysterious patterns on it, if you look at it for a long time, it will produce a wonderful sense of trance, and it does not look like something mundane.
Not to mention that there were bursts of yin qi on it, but it seemed to be limited by some spell and could not affect the outside world.
Therefore, even ordinary people like Lao Jin can keep it on their bodies without worrying about affecting their bodies.
"This is the talisman of the ghost market?"
Wei Zhu could feel that this thing was not a shoddy creation like the previous bead, but very delicate, so it seemed that what Lao Jin said was indeed somewhat possible.
It's just that at present, they have not actually seen it, so naturally it is difficult to assert, so they can only choose to go back and discuss it with their senior brothers before making a decision.
"That'...... Can I still give this thing back? Lao Jin still has the last shred of unrealistic expectations.
"Of course not!" The junior brother refused without hesitation.
How can this obviously harmful thing be returned to the victim?
However, Wei Zhu remembered another question, weighed this rather light talisman, and asked suspiciously, "By the way, where did you get this thing?" ”
No matter how you think about it, this thing shouldn't fall into the hands of such an ordinary mortal, right?
Lao Jin's face froze, hesitated for a moment, looked at their "vicious" eyes, and then whispered: "This is what I got from a beggar." ”
As if he was afraid that they would not believe it, he did not forget to hurriedly add: "Really! The beggar was dying of hunger, and I saw that he was pitiful, so I gave him a bun, and he gave me this talisman in gratitude, saying that when he lived in a ruined temple in the suburbs, he saw this thing fall from the monster with his own eyes! ”
But he thought it must be a treasure, so he secretly picked it up after the monster left, but he didn't dare to take it out casually. It wasn't given to me until I saved it. ”
"Then you really believe it?" Wei Zhu felt a little ridiculous and looked at him strangely.
Normally, who would believe such a thing?
Lao Jin scratched his hair a little embarrassed: "Anyway, it's just a bun thing, I thought about it or not, I wanted to try it, who knew it was true!" ”
This is indeed unexpected, and this old gold looks ordinary, he really has the courage to go in, and even successfully made a deal from the hands of the ghost and came back alive, I really can't underestimate him.
……
After Wei Zhu and the others returned to the inn, they immediately reported the matter to the senior brother.
At this time, the senior brother was concentrating on meditation and cultivation in the room, and only after hearing about this did he open his eyes with a solemn expression: "Is this indeed the case?" ”
It's not a trivial fight, it sounds like a ghost-infested ghost!
If you are not careful, it may be a catastrophe!
"We also heard from a mortal who met by chance about this matter, and the truth is not yet known." Of course, Wei Zhu will not say anything about playing around on the street.
"We'll wait for the rest of the juniors to come back and discuss this matter in the long run." Senior Brother took a slow breath and groaned.
He transmitted the message to the other two junior disciples, and after a while, he saw the two of them hurrying back.
"Senior brother, we haven't found any clues yet, but what is the ghost you just mentioned?"
They haven't figured out the situation yet.
Later, as the first discoverer, Wei Zhu explained to them again, and soon found that the faces of the two had changed greatly, and they looked shocked!
"This ...... Isn't it too dangerous? Shall we send a letter back to Master first, and ask him to contact those uncles and uncles, and gather everyone's strength to exterminate this terrible ghost together? ”
They are related and a little worried.
The senior brother nodded slightly and shook his head.
"Retribution is inevitable, but now that we have discovered this place, we must not back down! After the elders come over, they must also need to understand the specific situation of that place before they can prescribe the right medicine, and they can't take risks easily. ”
"Then it's better for us to take the lead and go into it to investigate first and gather information that may be useful, which will help."
Although the senior brother said this, the disciples were still a little worried: "But will this be too dangerous?" ”
The senior brother said: "Danger is naturally there, those demons are scheming and extremely sinister, but since that mortal can enter and exit safely, then what are we worse than him?" Perhaps, if you are careful, you can get out safely. ”
After a pause, his voice was quite passionate and emotional, with a compassionate atmosphere: "What's more, even if it may be exposed, how can we cower because we are afraid of death?" So what is the use of this Dao heart that has been tempered in every way? Die for the common people in the world, and die as you deserve! ”
"Worthy of being a senior brother!"
All the juniors and disciples were suddenly in awe, and their faces were full of admiration!
But having said that, there is only one brand, so who should go......
Silently, everyone's eyes subconsciously focused on the dazed Wei Zhu.
"Me?!"
Wei Zhu looked stunned and pointed at himself dumbfounded.
