In this chaotic world, demons are dancing, the world is restless, and the situation is turbulent.

Han Lie walked all the way, in addition to the fight of the Xiahou swordsman, he actually saw two more short fights, and the dead were all violent corpses in the wilderness, and no one cared about them.

In troubled times, life and death alternate, one second is still a living person, and the next second it becomes a motionless corpse.

The body that was born and nurtured turned into food for the beasts and wolves, and became a skeleton.

In such a world, it is no wonder that there are all kinds of demons, since humanity is weak, then the alien way naturally prospers, this is the principle of the cycle of heaven and earth.

Fortunately, Han Lie is well-informed, and he is not a sad person, so he sighed a little and then left it behind.

Guobei County, in such a chaotic world, has a rare peace, although this peace is fragile, dangerous, and shattered, but it is still calm.

Even if some warriors who pursue bounties are rampant in the county, even if there are demons entrenched not far from the city, at least at this time, the people in the city are still stable.

Before entering the city, Han Lie was stopped by the soldiers at the city gate, his clothing style was simple and inconspicuous, but the material could not hide the eyes of these soldiers.

In addition to guarding the city gates, these experienced soldiers have another job, which is to collect entry taxes.

The soldier with a mottled face, who looked like he was forty or fifty years old, stretched out his hand in front of Han Lie, sneered at him twice, and said, "This lord, I bother you, if you want to enter the city, you have to pay three taels of silver first." ”

The gates of the city were full of people, but not all of them stopped. Han Lie smiled and glanced at the sackcloth-collared farmer beside him who was going straight into the city. Didn't speak, leaned into his arms.

Out of the sight of others. With a slight rub, a few silver leaves appeared between Han Lie's fingers, and he pretended to grope and took them out of his arms.

Seeing the silver leaf, the look on the old soldier's face became more respectful, and he bent over, raised his hands above his head, and took two of them with a smile.

He shouted, "It's still the governor of this lord, then please come in." If something happens in the city, you shout. ”

Waving his hand, Han Lie stopped lingering and walked directly into the county seat.

You can still faintly hear the soldier's muttering: "I don't know where it came from, look at the craftsmanship of this silver leaf, tsk, this workmanship, it's so beautiful......"

After entering the city, there was a lot of noise. From time to time, the shouts of various shops can be heard on both sides of the street, which seems to be quite bustling.

Of course, no matter how prosperous it is, it is just a small county town. Nothing worth mentioning.

Most of the houses on both sides are wooden houses and wooden buildings, and the few brick houses are the rich families in the city. There are all kinds of paper signboards hanging outside the shops on the road, it seems. It's like a bazaar.

On the public notice board near the city gate, there are wanted notices. aroused many onlookers, and they were all coveted by the silver bounty above.

These poor people can only be greedy, and those who know some martial arts and hold swords will take actual actions.

They were wrapped in turbans, dressed in rudimentary armor, and carrying sharp weapons in their hands, and they wandered around in groups of three or five with wanted warrants, and when they found an object they thought was suspicious, they immediately went forward and questioned him.

On the side of the shop road, almost every pedestrian would be harassed by them, but as Han Lie walked all the way, these people didn't seem to see it at all, and they didn't pay attention to it at all.

Of course, it wasn't that they were blind, it was just that Han Lie made a silent hint at the small use of spiritual power in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

At this time, it was still early, and at this time, the Lanruo Temple outside the city had not yet uncovered the phantom cloth, it was just a deserted mass grave, so Han Lie did not rush over.

He wandered aimlessly through the streets, recalling some of the details he had seen.

As he walked, Han Lie's eyes suddenly lit up, it turned out that he saw Ning Caichen again, but of course, it was not Ning Caichen who made his eyes shine, he had no intention of changing his sexual orientation at the moment.

What really interested him was the coffin shop behind Ning Caichen, and the cinnabar yellow paper hanging at the door of the coffin shop.

Seeing this scene, he immediately recalled that these talismans drawn on the yellow paper were not purely fooling people's money cheating, but things that really had a certain effect.

In the story, Ning Caichen inadvertently imprinted these cinnabar talismans on his back, which was seen by the female ghost Xiaoqian, which caused her discomfort and had to be washed away with a scheme.

It can be seen from this that these talismans are obviously genuine, and perhaps they do have some kind of power, which is worth exploring.

Ning Caichen is wiping his clothes at the door of the coffin shop, speaking of which the owner of the coffin shop is not bad.

can wipe Ning Caichen's clothes with water, give him directions to Lanruo Temple, and measure him to make a coffin, in this troubled world, he is already a good person.

Han Lie stepped forward and greeted Ning Caichen first, he was obviously a little surprised, put down the hem of his clothes, and said in surprise: "Mr. is also going to this Guobei County?" ”

In this regard, Han Lie came as soon as he opened his mouth: "The wanderer of the five lakes, wandering the world, is just traveling around." ”

Hearing this, Ning Caichen immediately felt a little envious, he regarded Han Lie as the kind of scholar and literati who studied through the five volumes and traveled the world.

Ning Caichen said helplessly: "I am also a scholar, Mr. Han can be so free and easy, and broaden his knowledge everywhere, but I can only live under the merchant to earn some livelihood, alas! ”

Han Lie didn't care about his mood, and after greeting him, he casually invited him to have dinner with him, and then turned his gaze to the owner of the shop.

The boss Zhang is ugly, but his eyesight is very poisonous, not inferior to the soldiers at the city gate, he can see at a glance that this is a big customer, and he immediately greeted him with a smile.

He laughed and said, "This uncle, look at it, my family's things are all high-quality goods?" ”

Pointing to the paper money with the talisman drawn, Han Lie asked, "Boss, how do you sell this thing?" ”

Haha smiled, the boss replied: "Uncle, your vision is really good, these are all painted with high-quality cinnabar, the price." One or two silver and five pieces, buy more and have a discount. ”

Hear the words. Ning Caichen on the side shouted in shock: "Boss, aren't you a cheater." It's just paper money, you want one, two, or five, why don't you grab it? ”

Ning Caichen was grateful to Han Lie for giving him the cloak for his kindness, and was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly grabbed Han Lie's arm and said, "Sir, you can't be cheated by him, isn't this bullying us outsiders!" ”

The owner of the coffin shop was not happy, and swept Ning Caichen in disgust and pushed him aside. shouted: "You stinky scholar, why do you open your mouth and talk nonsense and mess with my business!" ”

Before grabbing one, the boss explained to Han Lie: "Uncle, look, this kind of high-grade cinnabar, one tael of cinnabar is equal to one tael of silver, and if you use my family handicraft to paint it, you will definitely not be cheated!" ”

As he spoke, he scolded Ning Caichen angrily and said, "You scholar. I was kind enough to wipe my clothes for Qing Shui, how can you take revenge! ”

Ning Caichen was driven to the side, but he was still unwilling, and muttered in a low voice: "What craftsmanship." Don't you just scribble the talismans, Zi Bu is strange and confused, it's all some foolish things......"

The boss is on the tip of his ears. Hearing these words he muttered, he suddenly jumped to his feet. Han Lie hurriedly stopped him.

Taking out a few silver leaves from his arms, Han Lie smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss. Don't worry, I believe you, buy, but ......"

When the boss saw the silver leaf and saw that Han Lie wanted to buy it, his original face changed again, and he was about to pick it up with a smile, but when he heard his words, he hurriedly asked, "Uncle, you?" ”

Han Lie pressed the silver leaf into his palm, and then said with a smile: "But I look at these things painted on it, it seems to be a little mysterious, is it spiritual?" ”

The boss put away the silver leaves, patted his chest and shouted: "Of course it's spiritual, I, Zhang Laosi, have been doing business in Guobei County for fifteen years, and I have never deceived anyone, uncle, if you don't believe it, just go and inquire." ”

Seeing that he had misunderstood what he meant, Han Lie stepped forward in two steps and whispered in his ear, "Boss, I mean, I want to see your family's handiwork." ”

As he spoke, he deliberately made a look of embarrassment, and then continued: "You know, I have been wandering around for many years, and I have seen a lot of strange things over the years, and I have encountered dangers, and I have always been a little uneasy recently. ”

After saying so much, the owner of the coffin shop still looked a little unclear, so Han Lie coughed and took out a few more gold leaves.

He shook one of them in front of his boss's eyes, glittering with gold and eye-catching.

Han Lie smiled and said, "Boss, let's be honest, if you have some books, ancient monsters and the like, things that can turn evil into good fortune, I want to buy them, the price is not a problem." ”

Money is moving, money can make ghosts grind, this truth is common in any world, and the coffin shop owner's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Immediately, his face shrank, and he hurriedly poked out his head and glanced outside, then pulled Han Lie up and dragged him to the inner room.

Glancing at the gold leaf in Han Lie's hand, the boss swallowed his saliva, his eyes flashed with greed, and he whispered, "You mean it really?" Don't lie to me, it's my ancestral treasure. ”

Han Lie directly threw a few golden leaves at him, and replied: "These are used as a deposit, as long as the things are available, I will double the price for you, is this business done?" ”

Picking up the gold leaves and biting them one by one, the boss was overjoyed and said busily: "Do it, do it!" Uncle, wait a minute, I'll get it for you! ”

With that, the boss immediately pinched the gold and silver leaves and happily ran to the backyard to get something.

After a while, he ran out again with an oiled paper bag, blew the smoke and dust that did not contain zài on the oiled paper bag, and slowly spread it out in front of Han Lie.

I saw that inside the oiled paper bag, it was one, to be precise, half a mutilated book, the cover was missing a corner, and the title of the book on the cover was blurred.

In this regard, Han Lie did not take this book lightly, and took out the book with a cautious face.

It's just that in his sight, there is a strange brilliance circulating on the surface of this book, which is indeed not ordinary.

Flipping through the book, there were traces of tearing under it, and the second half was gone, Han Lie hurriedly asked, "Boss, what about the back half?" ”

The boss was taken aback by his expression, and hurriedly replied: "Uncle, it's not that I'm fooling you, this book was passed from my grandfather, and the first time I saw it since I was a child, the lower half was gone." ”

Han Lie stared at the boss tightly until his eyes lost focus, and after sweeping his mind, he confirmed that he was indeed not lying, so he had to shake his head.

Retracting his gaze, Han Lie sighed: "In that case, half a book is half a book, this is the payment." ”

Throwing out another almost certain amount of gold leaves, Han Lie turned around and left the inner room, and when his figure disappeared, the boss was shocked and came to his senses.

Glancing at the door in a panic, the boss bent down to pick up the gold leaf, and then quietly touched it, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the backs of Han Lie and Ning Caichen leaving the store.

Leaning on the door panel, he said to himself: "This uncle's eyes are really scary. (To be continued......)
