Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Strange Shop
Sun Yan asked Shen Nanjing and them to go shopping first, and he stayed with Zhu Yueming and asked for two more head coverings. Zhu Yueming didn't ask him what he was for, he only said that if he didn't have enough money, he could come over at any time, and the leaders of the four major families could provide guarantees.
Leaving the camp to find a secluded place, Sun Yan called out the stone and the brocade key, the two of them had never been to the ghost market, and they had a body just out of the hiding place. That down-to-earth feeling made the stone extremely excited, and he didn't stop touching himself, but the brocade key was crying faintly, Sun Yan went over to comfort her, and she simply fell into Sun Yan's arms. I've been used to being a ghost for too long, and at first glance, the past is turned over again, how can I not be sad.
"Alright!" Sun Yan touched her head and said with a smile, "Let's go shopping." You can only stay in this square inch of land usually, and it is rare to have this grand event, so you don't have to follow me if you think I'm in the way, and it's good to make friends by yourself. As he spoke, he took out two spirit runes and handed them to the two: "This is a small induction talisman array that I made with tracking talismans in reverse, and I can know immediately if something is released." ”
Jin Key originally wanted to accompany Sun Yan, but the stone refused to leave, and kept pestering, Jin Key was afraid of making noise to Sun Yan, so he had to say hello and lead the stone away.
Not to mention mobile phones here, all electronic devices are out of order, and Sun Yan doesn't know where Gu Bo and the others went, so he wandered around by himself first. On the one hand, he wanted to visit the blade in hand, and on the other hand, he also wanted to inquire about where the dark market was located, and he chose a place with a lot of people.
The stone follows the brocade key far away, nagging endlessly, the big-headed doll face has the effect of isolating the ghost, although the sorcerer can't see through it, the only thing that can't hide the stone, so it's not afraid of losing it.
"Look at the brocade key," Shi called out to her, "I only saw a green flag after walking for half a day, didn't I say the surname Zhu just now, this is a realm specially designed for us, let's go in and take a look." ”
At this moment, it is already dark, and for some reason, this ghost market also has cloudy and sunny days, moonlight and wind dew, which is no different from the outside world. In addition to the flags, lanterns are hung in front of each shop at night, and they are also distinguished by a variety of colors, decorating the streets with brilliance and people, like a dream.
Jin Key glanced up at the cyan lantern, and was also curious, so he nodded and said, "Go in and take a look first, don't talk nonsense, and be careful to cause trouble for the master." ”
The stone agreed and followed the key into the shop. The two wooden doors were quite advanced, and they opened them when they walked over, and then closed them when they entered.
The shop was small, empty like a thatched hut, and there was nothing but a narrow wooden counter and a lit oil lamp. Behind the counter sat a man in a black mask, who could not distinguish between man and woman, and could not distinguish between old and young.
"Excuse me," Jin Key inquired, "It's our first time in the ghost market, and we don't know the rules, what are we selling here?" ”
The masked man didn't answer, and lazily pointed to the oil lamp. The two of them were confused, and they didn't know what he meant, but the man saw that they really didn't understand, so he had to say: "All the services of the small shop are written on the wall, and the two of you can hold the lamp and watch it closely." ”
The stone still didn't understand, and looked at the two empty walls a little stupid, but the brocade key said thank you, and stepped forward to pick up the lamp and approached the white wall on the left.
The bean-sized light was reflected on the wall, and the handwriting immediately appeared. Take a closer look, and sure enough, there are various service introductions:
1. Shape the body, help the ghost reshape the human form, you can choose to support the shape or borrow the corpse. The person who supports the shape is carved with yin wood in the form of a human figure, and the movement is stiff, and the facial expression is difficult to change, and he is not allowed to cry or laugh. This method is the union of soul and void, walking in the sun without a shadow, easy to be recognized; The borrowed corpse can provide the body of the newly deceased, whose blood has not been exhausted, the soul has entered the underworld, and there is no aftermath, which can last for three days. This method is no different from ordinary people except for the cold body.
2. When the ghost who entered the earth and did not immediately return to the earth after death re-entered the earth, he would be convicted according to the number of years he had stayed in the yang world. Our store can handle it on your behalf, so you can avoid punishment and freely choose reincarnation or live in the underworld. If you have violated other laws, please purchase them at the same time as item 5.
3. Repay gratitude, revenge, and communication, our store can handle the dream matters, or a special person will come to the door to send a message to relatives and friends, or you can set up a bureau to make the ghost repay the favor and revenge on its own, and the details are negotiable.
Fourth, practice, want to become a ghost of ghost cultivation, our store is responsible for contact, free of charge.
5. Escape from sin, ghosts who have violated the law of yin can help reduce or eliminate their sins as appropriate, and those who have committed the ten heinous sins should not be disturbed.
The handwriting on the left wall is gone, and the key is turned to the right, but the right wall is blank, and there is nothing.
"Is that all?" Jin Key asked.
The masked man's voice was very hollow, and he couldn't judge his identity for a while, and he said quietly: "Aren't these enough to satisfy the two of you?" I don't know what the two of you need, so you can talk about it. ”
Jin Key smiled: "I want to ask first, how to buy these items?" ”
"It depends on what you want to buy, and the price is different. It's okay to provide valuable information, secrets that no one else knows, or to do something for me. ”
Jin Jian was still thinking about it, but the stone suddenly said: "Boss, I have a lot of enemies, is there a one-time solution?" ”
The masked man stared at him for a moment, then took out an oil lamp from under the counter and pointed to the white wall on the right.
Shi hurriedly stepped forward to take the oil lamp, but suddenly, the oil lamp suddenly burst into flames, and the masked man's face changed greatly: "You, you are someone else's ghost servant!" Why can't I see it? ”
The stone was stunned, and the masked man waved his sleeves to throw out a cloud of gloomy wind, and the door of the store opened. The two could no longer stand, and were soon blown outside the store by the gloomy wind.
"The Key." Stone asked with concern.
"I'm fine," Jin Jian helped his hood, and the two of them looked back to see where there were any shops, and the place they had just entered had become walls, flags and lanterns, as if they had never existed.
"Do you want to inform the master?"
Jin Jian shook his head, "It's weird here, don't alarm the master yet, let's go find other shops and see what the situation is?" ”
The stone agreed, and Jin Key asked again: "By the way, how did you remember to ask him that question just now?" And there's clearly something on the wall on the right that we didn't see. ”
"I also thought of it suddenly," the stone said, and walked to the front of the wall to carefully discern the breath, it was really inconvenient to pass through the hood. When he returned, he continued, "Do you remember the earrings that were disguised as the order sign? We've been in the world for all these years, when have we ever heard that we can get away with sins if we break the Yin Law? ”
"And borrowing corpses," Jin Key added, "This is originally forbidden by the Yin Law, and if it is discovered by the Inspection Division, it will be escorted to the underworld immediately." ”
"So there's something strange about this shop," said Stone, "and he doesn't know what the oil lamp is, and he can see the contract between his master and me, which the master tells me is not even noticeable to a sorcerer." ”
"Hmph," Jin Key pouted, "I can't imagine that your head, which is full of messy things, will be able to shine again." ”
The stone knew that the brocade key was praising him, and he followed lightly and enjoyed himself, and the doll's head didn't feel heavy. He found that he had let his master play badly, and he had been like a dog lately, and when he was happy, he always felt that there was something wrong, and it would be nice if he had a tail that could wag twice.
Still thinking about it, the stone suddenly trembled, and stood there as if petrified.
"How?" Seeing that he hadn't followed him for a long time, Jin Key turned around strangely and asked.
"No, it's nothing, Jin Key, I suddenly smelled an old friend I knew before, you look for the ghost shop yourself first, I'll come to you later." As he spoke, the stone slipped away.
"It's really unreliable." Jin Key snorted coldly, and continued to look for the cyan lantern.
After walking around several streets, Jin Jian finally saw another shop with a green lantern, and she hurriedly walked in.
It's no different from any other shop, the interior is neatly decorated and the lights are lit up, and there is no such mysterious and eerie atmosphere as before.
"What do guests need?" When the boss saw Jin Key coming in, he hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically and asked.
This person listened to the voice of an old man, and he was also wearing a big hood like an old man, and he looked much more comfortable.
Jin Jian looked around, there were a lot of things on the shelves, and asked, "Shopkeeper, what services do you have here?" ”
The old man smiled: "The small shop has been operating in the ghost market for four generations, and it can be called a time-honored brand. As he spoke, he picked up two wooden tablets bound with strings from the shelf and handed them to the brocade key, "Guests, please see, there are other small shops that can provide services." ”
The brocade key opened the wooden sign and looked closely, and there were indeed many items listed on it, including body shaping, introducing ghost marriages, helping to buy and sell ownerless cemeteries in the yang world, and finding a place to live in the underworld...... It's like an intermediary. At the same time, Jin Key also figured out what was inside those bottles and jars, and the wooden sign said that it could change makeup, regulate soul energy, increase charm, etc., all of which were expected to come from the medicinal powder pills in the porcelain bottle.
Jin Jian saw that there were also words on behalf of relatives and friends, but there was no such thing as repaying gratitude and revenge, so he deliberately asked: "Shopkeeper, do you only have mulberry trees and locust trees in this body?" Can I borrow a corpse? ”
The old man was shocked when he heard this: "What are the guests, the small shop is legitimately operated, and it has been filed in the underworld courtyard of the underworld, how dare you do this kind of business." ”
"Oh," Jin Key smiled, "I'm just asking, can that help with revenge?" ”
"No, no," the old man stretched out his hand and let the brocade key out, "Guest, let's go and ask elsewhere, the small shop really can't do your business." ”
The key was no longer entangled, and quickly withdrew from the door. She had come to the conclusion that the place where she disappeared was not a legitimate shop in the ghost market, had it appeared by accident? Could it have something to do with the command card that the owner was thinking about? Thinking about it, Jin Key went in a different direction, ready to find another ghost shop to see.
At this moment, Jin Key suddenly felt a stagnation of her soul qi, like dizziness caused by people's low blood sugar, and she was a little unsteady on her feet, and she also knew that someone had come to support her, but after that, she was unconscious.
