Chapter 44: Zhou Qiangui City (I)
The next day, the rooster crowed three times, and Wei Qingyuan woke up Li Mu early, and they were about to go to the nearest ghost market to the Wei family's compound, Zhou Qian's ghost market. The Taoists of various sects there will take out some of their rare magic weapons to peddle, especially in the current world, those who do that line are not as good as before, and the business of asking for door-to-door practices is becoming less and less, and many sects have no choice but to take out their own housekeeping magic weapons and sell them to fellow Taoists in the ghost market to make a living.
The mountain road at dawn is not easy to walk, this black light is blind, and there is no mountain road at all, all around are some messy mountain rocks and thatch, the road is full of moss, wet and slippery, that Wei Qingyuan is a little older, and he takes the lead in front but he is very careful with every step.
"I said, Old Man Wei, can you walk faster, when will you be able to walk at the speed of this turtle?" Li Mu kept urging behind him, he just didn't know the way to go, if he knew this way, he really wanted to go there by himself.
"I said young man, don't rush me, the old man is old and his legs are inconvenient, if it was in the early decades, you kid really might not be able to catch up with my speed!" What the old man said seemed a little funny, he didn't know how ridiculous it was for him to claim to be old in front of Li Mu.
Hehe, how ridiculous is it to say that he is old in front of Lao Tzu, and he still calls Lao Tzu a young man? Lao Tzu has been practicing Taoism for more than 2,000 years, no matter how old you are, you can be older than me? Li Mu secretly thought in his heart that he was secretly happy there.
"Old man, if you have inconvenient legs and feet, just get on my back, and you can show me the way!" Li Mu teased at the old ghost.
"The old man is still moving, so he doesn't have to work for you!" The old man seemed to be a little reluctant, to put it bluntly, he was a little unwilling to obey the old man.
"Come on! I look at you, don't do it! Saying that, Li Mu directly rushed to Wei Qingyuan and squatted down, got together, and directly supported him on his back, "Hold it steady, you just need to show me the way!" ”
Saying that, Li Mu took off directly into the air, the speed was so fast that Wei Qingyuan couldn't even see the road on the ground clearly.
"Slow down, slow down! You look like this, how can the old man see the road below? The old man was lying on Li Mu's back and saw the terrain and landforms below speeding by, and he began to feel a little dizzy in front of him.
Then Li Mu also realized that although this old man has a little bit of Taoism, but after all, he is an ordinary man, where can he stand the current speed? So Li Mu slowed down slightly, "Old man, can you still see the road to Zhou Qiangui City now?" ”
The old man looked down and saw that Li Mu had already flown too far just now, and the terrain had already become a different scene, where could he still see the way there? Old man Wei lay on Li Mu's back and kept shaking his head.
"Can you still do it?" Li Mu put the old man Wei down, and he felt that this old guy had some unreliable feelings.
"You're flying so fast all at once, how do you tell me to see the road below?" That old guy still wants to blame the ultimate responsibility on Li Mu's side, and it seems to have a special atmosphere, you girl, it's your responsibility to find a way out! The old guy stepped back as he spoke, and suddenly disappeared in front of Li Mu with a "clang"!
Li Mu approached the place where the old man was standing just now, he picked up the weeds blocked by the ground, and found that the old man fell into a deep pit, face down, and just fell a dog eating, this posture made Li Mu want to laugh a little, but he held back.
"Hurry up, you kid come down and pull the old man up......" Wei Qingyuan was so painful that he couldn't get up on the ground, and it was true that the hole had to be at least three meters away from the ground he had fallen on.
Li Mu propped up the cave wall and went down to the cave, and found that this place was really narrow, taking Zhang Long's body as an example, even if Zhang Long was relatively thin, but it would still look a little crowded when he went inside.
Li Mu walked to Wei Qingyuan's side and pulled him up, thinking about how to send this old man to the top of the three-meter-high cave, when suddenly, four twisted small seal fonts appeared in front of him in front of him, he was born more than two thousand years ago, so he still recognized these words, isn't this exactly the "Zhou Qian Ghost City" they are looking for?
"Look, old ghost! Is this the place? Li Mu pointed to the words in front of him.
"Yes, this is here! This is it! The old man got up excitedly and patted the dust off his body, "The last time I was here was nearly forty years ago, so much has changed!" The surroundings are covered by these weeds and vines, and if you don't find this place by looking at it crookedly, the old decay may not really be able to find this place! ”
It's really effortless! Saying that, the old man Wei handed a piece of silver dollar to Li Mu, telling him to hold this thing in his mouth, and he couldn't speak after he went in, Li Mu took the silver dollar and nodded.
As soon as the two of them walked through the door of the cave with the words written, they were stopped by a blind old woman, and the blind woman handed them a bowl of dark red tea and motioned for the two to drink it.
Old man Wei hurriedly explained to him that this tea is called Longkui tea, and after drinking, it has a little similar effect to Meng Po soup, and when he comes out of the ghost market after buying things, all the things that happened in it will be forgotten cleanly, the purpose is to protect the secrets in this ghost market from being leaked.
The two of them drank this Longkui tea one after another and began to walk towards the ghost market step by step, at first there were not many people at the entrance, and the more they went inside, the more spacious the cave became, and it became more and more lively.
The sellers inside were wearing a Yama-like hooded mask, the whole mask was red, and there was a spiral horn on the top of the head, but the two eyes were bulging very large, and both were grinning wide, revealing red letters and sharp fangs, and their faces looked terrifying and funny.
The things sold in the ghost market are a little bizarre, and there are all kinds of small magic weapons, but these things are not surprising, and even more directly refined zombies brought in to sell, and some of the little ghosts raised are used to sell, those people carved willow wood into the appearance of a petty official, and the outside was smeared with corpse oil to be shiny and shiny, and those were taken out and sold by the ghost raisers.
Li Mu was a little dazzled by these things, and he couldn't tell which things were really good and which were fake.
