Chapter 63: An Amazing Coincidence
Saying that he was going to go, the beast elder became busy.
He went back and forth between the outside and the inner room, and soon he had two more medicine bottles and a talisman in his hand.
In addition, there was something in the shape of a letter, which was handed over to me.
At this time, the streets were already a little noisy.
I took what the beast elder handed me, but I still didn't care, this ghost market is already lively, even if the remote alleys become lively with the influx of people, what is it?
But the beast elder frowned slightly, but he said to me: "When you enter the inner city, you have to prepare because there is a special reason. Now you drink the medicine in this medicine bottle, and I boil it much better than the old man at the door, faster. ”
As he spoke, the beast elder pulled the lid of one of the vials and handed it to me.
I didn't hesitate at all, and drank most of the liquid that was swaying in the bottle in one gulp.
The juice was so bitter that I couldn't tell what was inside, but the smell of one of the herbs was slightly more obvious, and that was the special smell of ginseng.
After entering the abdomen, I felt a little heat slowly explode from the abdominal cavity, spreading, warming my limbs little by little, in this ghost city, there was originally a kind of yin qi caused by the cold, even if the limbs of the person are hot, I can't feel warm, after drinking the medicine of the beast elder.
I actually had a feeling of fever, and a little sweat oozed from my forehead.
"It's a strong medicine." I couldn't help but let out a low sigh.
"That's nature, one of them has wild ginseng that is more than 50 years old, should you be a fake?" As he spoke, the beast elder opened another vial and poured out three pills, two of which were black, which he crushed and sprinkled on my body.
The other white one, he put it in the medicine bottle, handed it to me, and said, "Before entering the inner market, take this white pill in your mouth." ”
"Is this white and black, a cure for colds?" I suddenly felt a little tense in the atmosphere and couldn't help but make a joke.
But the beast elder slapped him on the head mercilessly, and said, "Don't you know that there is a sentence? Entering the inner market is equivalent to entering hell, which not only involves the transaction of the ghost market, but also involves other aspects, at least in some areas of the inner market, some dangerous elements are imprisoned, saying that they are imprisoned, but they are also allowed to operate in the inner market. ”
"Does this have anything to do with the pills I swallowed?" At this time, the noisy sound on the street seemed to be something abnormal, and there seemed to be some arguments.
The beast elder shut up, and did not answer me immediately, but walked to a corner of the room, pushed open the somewhat heavy wooden window, stretched out his head to take a look, and cursed in a low voice: "These dogs." How can the Snow Mountain Pulse accommodate them? ”
What dog? I also craned my neck curiously.
But the beast elder closed the window at once, turned back to me and continued, "It's okay! It's just a reminder of the dangers of the inner market. Even in it, there are rules and constraints, and there are even masters of the snow mountain in the town. But, after all, it's a chaotic place, and if you're not careful, you've already died first, and that qiē is empty. ”
I understand the meaning of the old beast saying, but I still want to know what this pill is for, otherwise I will not be reconciled.
The beast elder didn't wait for me to ask questions, and said directly: "As for this pill, it is to cover the human flavor of your life, so as not to be too 'aggressive' and make the storage in it unpleasant." I will not go into details, so as not to frighten you. ”
"Cover up the smell of people?" I subconsciously sniffed my body, did it smell?
"Otherwise, why do you think you have to make some preparations when you enter the inner market? It is all to cover up the smell of people and avoid interfering too much with the original storage of the inner market. However, my pills are much more powerful than theirs, and you don't need that much time to dissipate the flavor, remember that you can go straight in with this white pill in your mouth. The beast elder emphasized again.
I won't ask more, I'm going to go soon, and what I don't know, I'll know later.
So, I took the talisman on the table, and the letter.
Look at that talisman, good fellow, it turned out to be a purple talisman.
The beast elder slowly paced over at this time and said, "Don't use this talisman until you have to. Once used, it can block seven or eight powerful ghosts for you in the inner market, after all, the location of the Broken Soul Cliff is dangerous, but where the specific danger is, I can't predict, I can only make these preparations for you. But you also have to know that once you use this talisman, there is no turning back. ”
"As for the letter. You take it, go to the ghost market to find a person named Zhao Yinuo. You give him the letter, and he will provide you with some assistance in your actions in the inner city. The beast elder explained the role of these two things.
I let out an 'um' and pulled the two things into my yellow cloth bag.
By this time, the noise was already in our ears, and even if I was grinning, I felt that something was wrong.
"Let's go." The beast elder urged, and then said: "This inner market is not difficult to find, and all the way down the slope is the inner market." ”
I also turned around and was about to leave, but before leaving, I remembered a question, and couldn't help but ask the beast elder: "However, the inner city and the outer market, it is said that you can only enter and exit one place a day, and I have already come to the outer market, how can I enter this inner market again?" ”
"You just have to go in with confidence. The reason why there is this provision is nothing more than because the popularity of the foreign market is too heavy, and it is no longer appropriate to enter the domestic market because it is so popular in the foreign market. My pills have a strong effect, you can rest assured that they will enter the only criterion for their detection, which is the smell of the body. The beast elder explained to me in a low voice.
At this moment, I was completely relieved, hugged my fist at the beast elder, opened the door of the medical hall, and strode outside.
Uchi, I finally went.
But he didn't want to, and as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a group of white-robed people standing on this street, waiting in the shop closest to the beast elder, and in that shop it seemed that someone had gone in to search.
What are these people doing? I remembered a comment from the Beast Elder - these dogs.
But I have important things to do, how can I care about what these white-robed people are doing? Pulling down the mask on my face and tightening the black cloak on my body, I lowered my head and continued on my way.
"Stop, there is a suspicion of a spy in this street, and everyone must be examined. As long as there is the slightest suspicion, take it away. "I'm not messing with anyone, but that doesn't mean things won't mess with me? I had barely taken two steps, and before I could get close to the group of white-robed men, two of them stood up and shouted at me and blocked my way.
Spies? People from both good and evil factions can be accommodated here, and it's just a market, isn't this statement too funny?
I looked up, and by coincidence, I happened to see the leader of this group of white-robed people, wasn't it the white-robed man who was embarrassing me and Brother Zhengchuan at the gate?
'These dogs', I couldn't help but curse in my heart.
Naturally, the footsteps will not stop, but will stride towards the alley.
I have something to do, so naturally I won't cause trouble, let alone high-profile silence is my best attitude, but I'm not completely unreliable, at least I can go to Aunt Chengzhen to reason, I suppressed the white-robed man like that before.
"Tell you to stop, did you hear me?" Seeing that I didn't pay attention to it, and just strode forward, the two white-robed people seemed to be angry, as if their dignity had been provoked.
I took a deep breath, but finally stood still, and held the inner market token in my hand, at least in my experience, this thing is still more useful in the ghost market.
Seeing that I stood up obediently, the two white-robed men seemed to feel a little more comfortable, and one of them strode towards me and said, "Take off your mask, now we have reason to suspect that you are a spy." ”
I didn't laugh angrily, and naturally I didn't take off my mask, but raised the internal market token in my hand and said, "Why?" Is this how Snow Mountain Yimai treats people who come to the ghost market to trade? ”
It was my inner market token that played a role, and the white-robed man hesitated, and looked at the team of white-robed people standing not far away with some inquiry, to be exact, the person who was embarrassed by me and Brother Zhengchuan at the door.
And that person also noticed the movement here, and had already turned around and looked me up and down.
"Intra-market tokens? Looking for the person who has the inner market token, leave him behind. I want to see what is sacred. As he spoke, he pulled over a strange basket that he had been carrying on his shoulder, opened the lid of the basket, and out of it came a strange-looking monkey.
At this moment, the monkey looked left and right, and its huge nostrils were stirring unlisteningly, as if there was something unusual in the air that attracted it.
"Ghost monkey!" I couldn't help but whisper, I would never forget this extremely hideous face in my dreams.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, it's also in a ghost market, a real ghost market and a fake ghost market, I have met this kind of monkey.
When I was a teenager, I was almost fascinated by this monkey, and the memory came back to my mind
At this time, with a low cry from me, the monkey seemed to find the source of interest in the air, and gradually, its attention turned to me, and its nostrils twitched even more.
The look on the face of the white-robed man carrying the ghost monkey also changed from not caring before, to a little solemn, and he walked towards me step by step, and his suspicious look became more and more obvious.
I suddenly felt that some of the targets seemed to be really aimed at me and Brother Masakawa.
"It's too much, want to take my people?" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind me.
As soon as I turned around, Shi Shiran came over not the beast elder, but who was it?
