At that time, I was thinking, is this thing also an evil corpse? What did it just do to me?

But when I cast an inquiring glance at Liang Houzai, I found that Liang Houzai was also confused. It seems that he also doesn't know what this mass of white meat is.

I asked the old man next to me, "What is this?" ”

As soon as I opened my mouth, a violent fishy smell entered my mouth, and my stomach suddenly turned upside down, but fortunately I haven't eaten since noon today, otherwise I would really vomit.

The old man looked at the lump of white flesh, looked at me again with a look of surprise, and asked, "How did you stop it?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a talisman from the pocket of his jacket, threw it away, and saw that the talisman fluttered down on the white flesh, and the white flesh no longer trembled, and remained motionless, looking at it from afar, like a piece of fat forgotten in the corner.

Seeing that I had not spoken, the old man asked me again, "Why did you stop it just now?" You're also a corpse keeper? But I haven't seen you use the talisman, how did you stop it? ”

I thought carefully about the scene just now before I said to him, "Probably, the black water coffin behind me ......"

Before I could finish speaking, the old man suddenly became nervous: "What? Black water coffin? You're a man of integrity! Oops, get out of here, get out of here, don't spoil my business! ”

In the second half of his words, he was literally yelling at me.

I was also puzzled at the time, thinking that this old man had a grudge against us, why did he not treat me so much?

It wasn't until a few years later that I took over Master's stall and realized that people like us who keep the right line rarely enter the corpse cultivator's shop, just because the power of the black water corpse coffin is too great, and if we go around the corpse keeper's shop, the corpse qi on those evil corpses will be greatly weakened, and in this way, it will indeed affect the business.

Anyway, there was nothing else in the store, and I didn't bother to stay here, so I went out of the store with Liang Houzai.

During the time we entered the store, Lu Renshuang and Xiao Renya had been waiting at the door, and when they saw me go out, Lu Renshuang breathed a long sigh of relief.

For things like evil corpses, whether it's Renshuang or Renya, they're all very afraid.

After leaving the corpse keeper's store, Lu Renshuang took me to wander around the West Market, and then there were more and more people in the West Market, and Lu Renshuang took me to the Foot Market, and gradually, I found that the guests who appeared in the West Market were very different from the guests in the Foot Market.

In the West Market, most of the people I saw were very relaxed, and they would stop in front of each store for a while, carefully selecting the goods. But in the foot market, almost everyone is sad, they walk very fast, as if they are competing with time, and most of the customers in the foot market are concentrated in the shops such as passing through the yin and changing luck, and there are not many customers in the odd goods store, but even if one or two customers occasionally enter, the owner of the store often looks like he loves to answer.

The foot market is much larger than the east and west cities combined, the big road and the small road intersect intricately together, all the roads are arranged according to the hexagram shape of the Fuxi gossip, every two big roads, there will be a dry road and a kun road, the south and the north Kun, the middle of the small road, then deal with the hexagram of Zhen, Gen, Li, Kan, Dui, Xun, if you can look at the whole ghost market, you should be able to see the east, west, middle, foot and form a huge Bagua map.

Listening to Lu Renshuang, the ghost market I see now was rebuilt on the basis of the old ghost market by the people of Jisoul Zhuangmen five hundred years ago, and before that, the scale of the ghost market was even larger than this, but then the cave collapsed, and it had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to rebuild.

Walking on the streets of the ghost market, looking up at the stone stalactites hanging upside down on the roof of the cave, I suddenly felt that the cave seemed to have infinite space, and the water droplets flowing slowly from those sharp stone stalactites seemed to be deliberately accompanied by this huge ghost market, slowly walking towards the end of time.

Such a place gave me an indescribable sense of belonging to the Soul Village in my heart, as if a force fell on top of my head, submerged into my body, and reached the soles of my feet. It seems to want me to know that the land of Soul Village is where I will eventually belong.

I still remember the first time I stood in front of the gate of the Soul Village, Master pointed to the door and said, "This place is your root." ”

When Master said this, I couldn't understand the meaning of "root", but only now do I vaguely understand that the so-called root is the root of the fallen leaves, where a tree and a leaf grow, and when it eventually withers, it will become a handful of loess on that land.

When I looked up at the top of the cave, Liang Houzai kept his head down, I don't know what he was thinking, but I saw that his eyes were very depressed and empty. I think he's probably missing his master again.

I have found my belonging, but where is Liang Houzai's belonging?

I patted Liang Houzai on the shoulder: "Let's go find your Grandpa Chai, this place is not fun." ”

Actually, I originally wanted to say that I would go to my master, but I was afraid that as soon as I said the word "master", it would evoke Liang Houzai's memories.

Liang Houzai nodded at me.

I was about to walk in the direction of the secret passage, and Lu Renshuang said to me: "Uncle Shi should have entered the ghost market by now, I remember that Master said that when the ghost market first opened, Uncle Shi usually searched for some things in the foot market, and the most frequent places should be a few strange goods stores near the West Market. ”

But I originally wanted Liang Houzai to go out to take a breath.

I glanced at Liang Houzai again, and Liang Houzai also knew what I was thinking, he nodded at me and said, "Let's go find Grandpa Chai." ”

It just so happened that our location was not far from the West Market, and Lu Renshuang took us to turn a small road, and we could see the few odd goods stores that opened next to the West Market Street.

Speaking of strange goods, it is probably some very rare and exotic goods, I have also entered a few strange goods stores before, and I saw that many stores sell medicinal materials such as ginseng and He Shou Wu, and there are also some shops selling clean spiritual weapons such as spiritual jade and beeswax that have not yet been condensed, and there is a shop that specializes in selling calligraphy and painting. I heard from the owner of that shop that they sell all the ink treasures left by the people of various sects, and they are all with spiritual charm on them.

I did find my master in a strange goods store, which was a shop that sold spiritual weapons, and when I entered the door, Master was carefully selecting the goods, and from time to time he would ask the store for the price.

When others buy things, they are bartering, but when it is my master's turn, the other party is directly quoting money, I have to say, every product in the store is amazingly expensive, just a piece of thumb-sized spiritual jade, with my father's current salary, even if he has worked for decades, he may not be able to afford it.

But every time my master asks the price, he doesn't say to buy or say no, he just continues to choose. The shopkeeper was not angry, he recognized that my master was picky, and he looked very respectful.

We've been in the shop for a while, but my master has been picking things out and hasn't noticed us.

That is, until I picked up a black bead on the pallet and asked, "What is this?" ”

The shopkeeper was still smiling at my master, but then he looked at me again, and the smile disappeared from his face, and he said to me impatiently, "Haven't you even seen Goubao?" ”

My master heard my voice, turned to look at me, then at Liu Shangang and Lu Renshuang, and asked, "Why did you guys come here?" ”

The shopkeeper probably saw that my master recognized us, and his cold face smiled like a flower again, and asked me, "Are you an acquaintance of Master Chai?" ”

Before I could speak, my master said next to me, "My apprentice." ”

Seeing that the shopkeeper smiled even brighter, he took a black bead of the same size from the shelf to me, and said to me: "These are twenty-year-old black dog treasures, in my place, there are a total of twenty dog treasures like this, these are all treasures that are difficult to find in the world, worthy of Master Chai's high apprentice, really discerning!" ”

My personality is similar to my dad in many ways, such as my dad doesn't like to ask for people, and so am I, for example, my dad hates people who are too philistine, and so am I.

I'm quite disgusted with this shopkeeper now, but fortunately, after all these years of practicing my mind with the master, I am not as impulsive as I was when I was a child, so I didn't say anything, I just felt disgusted in my heart.

At this time, he came over and stood behind me and said, "Don't you think that the owner of the shop is a philistine, a strange goods store like this often has fewer people to buy things and more people to see new things, and almost every year in the ghost market, there are strange goods stores stolen. Therefore, most of the shops here have to watch out for the living. ”

I heard the shopkeeper echo and said, "Alas, Master Chai will be considerate." In these days, it's getting harder and harder to get hold of strange goods like this, and every time you throw one of them, it's the meat of your heart. ”

My master smiled noncommittally, and said to the shopkeeper, "Do you have twenty such black dog treasures?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded busily: "No more, no less, exactly twenty." ”

"Bring them all, I want them all." As soon as Master's voice fell, the shopkeeper let out a "huh" and trotted all the way to the back of the shelves.

My master took the dog treasure in my hand, looked at it carefully, and said to me with a smile, "The things in this shop have always been very good. Like this black dog treasure, from the old black dog of 20 years, the dog lives for 20 years, which is equivalent to a person living for more than 100 years, the longer a person lives, the more vicissitudes of life, the more calm the state of mind, the dog understands human nature, and people are also very similar in this regard. The twenty-year-old black dog treasure is indeed a rare treasure with pure yang energy and no resentment on it. ”

While my master was speaking, the shopkeeper had already returned with the remaining eighteen black dog treasures, and my master took a silkworm with a silvery-white luster from the shelf, and handed it to the shopkeeper along with the two black dog treasures, so that he could wear them into a beaded chain.

The shopkeeper was quick with his hands and feet, and quickly strung the chain and quoted the price to my master.

I can't just say the price of the goods in the ghost market, I can only say that this seemingly ordinary bracelet is more expensive than I imagined, so expensive that it can't be measured by my father's salary.
