At this moment he stretched out his hand, endured the severe pain, and grabbed at me weakly, I took a step back a little, did not let him grasp it, and then took another step forward, and with both hands slashed the green steel sword in a large circle, and made it solid on the side of his face.

I certainly didn't have the guts to cut him with my sword, I just slapped him in the face with the blade of my sword.

The Qinggang sword was already very heavy, and with the ruthlessness I used this time, he was knocked out by me on the spot.

Master has given me thousands of instructions and told me to catch it alive, and this time, I should be considered to have successfully completed the task.

But thinking about the scene when he poked my neck with his five fingers, I was still scared for a while.

Xian'er was still saying cool words next to her: "Cut, so you're afraid?" You people who are in the right line have always tied their heads to the waistband of their trousers every day, and there will be many such cases of life hanging by a thread in the future. That is, your life is hard, otherwise Chai Ye would not have had to accept you as an apprentice back then. ”

I looked at the man who had fainted and asked Xian'er, "What should I do now, I can't throw him here, right?" ”

Xian'er said helplessly: "Are you scared stupid? Didn't Chai Ye say that you should catch it alive, do you know what the word 'catch' means? ”

At this time, a person came running from a nearby shop, pointed to the green steel sword in my hand and asked me what the relationship was with my master, I said it was a master and apprentice, he nodded, went to the store and got me a rope, and went back happily.

This confuses me.

Xian'er said to me: "Soon everyone here will know that you are Chai Ye's apprentice, you will take over the stall in the ghost market sooner or later, that person was scolding you just now, you got his favor this time, and you will have to give him more convenience when he opens a shop here in the future." As for whether to accept this rope or not, you can see for yourself. ”

I glanced at the rope in my hand, thought about it, and put it at the door of the shop, and then carried the man I had knocked unconscious on my shoulders and walked in the direction of the door.

Eating people with a soft mouth and short hands, I feel that if I accept the benefits of others today, even if the shopkeeper brings any forbidden objects to the ghost market in the future, I will not have the face to drive people away when I think about this incident.

Ever since my dad experienced that fortune-breaking turmoil, he often said to me: "In this life, there are times when you are lucky and there are times when you are unlucky." Generally speaking, there are fewer times when you hit big luck, and more time when you are unlucky. Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, which is also quite normal. But if one day, if someone gives you any benefit in plain terms, it may not be a benefit, you feel like you have hit a big luck, and the bad luck may be still to come. ”

Even today, I think my dad's words are very useful to me.

I carried that person on my shoulder, just like this, he was not short, his body looked very strong, but he didn't weigh much, about a hundred pounds, I followed the master every morning to work hard, this weight is nothing to me.

When I came to the front door of the door, Senior Brother Feng and Liang Houzai were waiting for me here early in the morning.

Senior Brother Feng glanced at me, probably because he saw that I was fine, so he dragged the person off my shoulder, and found three finger-thick nylon ropes to tie the person up, and I saw that Senior Brother Feng also deliberately hit a few dead buttons on the ten fingers of that person.

Liang Houzai surrounded me, and a pair of eyes repeatedly looked at me, as if he wanted to see if there were any injuries on my body.

I waved my hand at Liang Houzai: "I'm fine." After that, he pointed to the man on the ground and asked me Senior Brother Feng, "Who is this person?" ”

Senior Brother Feng tied the last dead knot before he raised his head and said to me: "It should be the people of Baiwu Mountain, since the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jisoulzhuang took over the ghost market from them, they often come to the ghost market to make trouble. ”

At that time, although I didn't read much history books, but I also knew that the Sui Dynasty was in front of the Song Dynasty, and when I first entered the ghost market, I heard Senior Brother Zhuang say that the secret road we walked before was originally the site of the ghost market, but that place was discovered by someone with a heart in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, and was requisitioned by the imperial court.

I felt strange in my heart, so I asked Senior Brother Feng: "That means that the current ghost market was built by them at the earliest?" As I spoke, I also pointed to the person who was tied up by my Senior Brother Feng.

Senior Brother Feng shook his head: "During the Tang Dynasty, there were originally three ghost markets, one in southern Shu, one on the Loess Plateau, and one under Chang'an City. The ghost market in Chang'an was first run by the imperial court, but I don't know for what reason, it was abandoned during the Wu Cao period. Baiwu Mountain from the Western Han Dynasty to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms for more than 1,000 years, has been operating the ghost market of the Loess Slope, but in the Tang Dynasty, the Loess Plateau began to desert a large area, and geological changes led to the collapse of the ghost market. It was from that time that the ghost market operated by Baiwushan began to decline, and it ceased to exist by the time of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty. In today's ghost market, only our Soul Village is left, but the people of Baiwu Mountain always feel that they are the authentic ghost market, and they have always regarded our Soul Village as a thorn in their side. ”

After a while, Senior Brother Feng said to me again: "Our Soul Village is also well-known among our peers, but Baiwu Mountain is always unable to get along with us. Especially when you get to northern Shaanxi, which is the base camp of Baiwu Mountain, you should be even more careful. ”

I nodded at Senior Brother Feng, who picked the corners of his mouth and showed a faint smile.

There was a deep meaning in his smile that I couldn't understand, as if there was a little bit of ridicule, and there seemed to be a little bit of excitement.

It was because of Senior Brother Feng's smile that I had a subtle interest in the land of northern Shaanxi.

It was about ten o'clock in the evening, four hours after the opening of the door, and the people inside and outside the door began to disperse.

The seven-colored relics were sold to the Buddhist family, the Gu refining cup was bought by the Gu master of Miao Jiang, and the Zihao was unsurprisingly acquired by the Taoist family.

It wasn't until the crowd had dispersed that my master came out with a cigarette stick, locked the front door, and then came to me.

My master was puffing on his cigarette as he circled around me, looking at me carefully. Don't look at it from beginning to end, my master looks calm on the surface, but in fact, he is more worried about my safety than anyone else.

Actually, when my master first came over, I told him that I was fine, but he still couldn't rest assured.

Seeing that I was indeed not injured, my master breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he looked at the man who was tied up with flowers, and said two words to me very briefly: "Not bad! ”

I was about to take my life just now, but my master just said "not bad"! But I'm also used to it, in the past few years with the master, he has rarely praised me, if others say that he has accepted a good apprentice, he often waves his hand and says to others: "What's good, it's useless!" ”

I don't know where I offended him.

Master asked Senior Brother Feng to carry the man on his back, and then led us back to Zhenmen Hall.

The ghost market, which lasted for two days and two nights, seemed to be coming to an end, and along the way, I saw that many shops had closed their doors and taken down their lanterns, and some of them had already packed their bags and moved slowly towards the exit of the ghost market with the flow of people on the main road.

When they returned to Zhenmentang, Master Xia and Master Zhao were counting the soul tickets that had returned, and by the way, they were also calculating how much they had earned in this year's ghost market.

I also learned after I took over the door Ding Foot Line that every store that opened in the ghost market, whether it was in exchange for something or money earned, Jisoulzhuang has a 10% dividend, if the things they start can't be divided, the Jisoulzhuang estimates the price of things, and one-tenth of the store's pickup price is handed over to Jisoulzhuang.

When Uncle Zhao saw us enter the hall, he put down the calculator in his hand and walked over.

He saw the person on Senior Brother Feng's shoulders at a glance, and smiled at my master very proudly and said, "Look, I'm not wrong, right?" It is the people of Baiwu Mountain who are making trouble. ”

My master let out a sullen "um" and said, "Since I took over the door, Baiwushan has come to the big market like this, and I don't know when it will be a head." ”

While speaking, my master went to the side room and took out a bundle of gauze and potion, and asked Senior Brother Feng to put the man on the chair and help the man bandage the wound on his hand.

And my Uncle Xia took out a black pill and fed it to the man.

After a while, the man woke up in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he first saw the three old faces of my master and uncle facing him, and then looked at me with a gloomy face, and finally he moved his body, only to find that he was tied.

My master moved a chair and sat across from him, took a long puff of smoke, and asked him, "Which hall are you from?" ”

He stared at my master with a very gloomy gaze and did not speak.

Senior Brother Feng said beside my master at this time: "I flipped through this year's invitation sheet before, and we only invited one person from Baiwu Mountain, and he is Zhao Dekai, the hall master of Bailian Hall. Moral virtue, exemplary model. ”

My master smiled, pointed at me with his finger, and asked the man named Zhao Dekai, "What do you think of me, an apprentice who has not yet graduated from the school?" ”

When the master said this, it was obvious that he was also ridiculing him, his dignified hall master of Baiwu Mountain, actually planted a heel in the hands of a little apprentice like me, if this kind of thing spreads, I don't know what impact it will have on Baiwu Mountain, but he, the hall master, doesn't want to go now.

Zhao Dekai's face suddenly turned red as if he was something, but he still stared at my master, gritted his teeth and said, "You people in the Soul Village are all shameless!" ”

My master smiled coldly: "Say that I am shameless in the soul village, you are also worthy?" When you were assassinating the Buddha's family in my trading house, did you think about the word 'shameless'? What kind of grudges and enmity do the people of the Buddhist family have with you? Are you looking for the Buddhists in my place to make the Buddha sect an enemy of my Soul Village? ”
