401 The Deceased

Falling outside the town, Zhang Cundao and Jin Susu walked into the town.

Now that the lights are on, the town's homes and shops are lit up, and red, orange and even cyan lanterns hang under the eaves, lighting up the town brightly.

Zhang Cundao is accustomed to the brilliant lights of the big city, and Jin Susu is also used to seeing the lights at home. But when they walked into the town, they all found anomalies.

The lamps here are not lit by oil or candles, they are lit by ghost fires. Red, cyan, white, and orange ghost fires burn in the lanterns, illuminating the streets and alleys here.

The streets of the town are very lively, and there are many children running through the streets frolicking, but looking at their Mohu bodies, you can know that these are not normal children.

Jin Susu gently grabbed Zhang Cundao's hand, and then whispered: "I heard such a story, saying that someone went home at night. When I passed by a hill, I suddenly found a lively town. This man is very strange, he has walked this road for more than ten years, and there is no town on this mountain at all. So driven by curiosity, he walked into this town. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Susu paused and frowned. Zhang Cundao listened to the beginning, and was about to listen to the follow-up, but found that Jin Susu didn't say anything. So he asked, "What happened later?" What happened next? ”

"Later? Then it was gone. This is where the story comes to an abrupt end. Kim So-su said.

"What kind of story is this...... Third-rate people all write better than him. Zhang Cundao couldn't help but complain.

At this time, the people in the town also found two outsiders, and several people walked towards the two of them, and when they got closer, Zhang Cundao saw a surging ghost aura on them.

He didn't say a word, and released some of his protective aura, and the surging aura enveloped him, indicating his identity.

The men paused, but leaned over anyway. They stopped three steps away from Zhang Cundao, and then one of them bowed and said respectfully, "May I ask why the monk is coming to our town?" For trading, the ghost market is only open on New Moon days. ”

These ghosts are quite polite, and Zhang Cundao said: "I was just passing by here and saw the brilliant lights below, so I wanted to find a place to rest and ask for directions." Nothing else. ”

The ghost glanced at Zhang Cundao and Jin Susu a few times, and finally said: "This place is under the jurisdiction of the Yama Demon Prefecture, unless the ghost market is opened, I will not accept outsiders, and please forgive me." ”

Zhang Cundao listened and nodded, since it was inconvenient, it was not easy for him to entangle. was about to leave with Jin Susu, but at this time, a surprised voice sounded.

"Is that you? Is Senior Brother Zhang you? ”

Hearing this voice, Zhang Cundao was slightly stunned, and then saw a bone horse running over in the night, and a girl in white was carrying a girl on the back of the bone horse, and he immediately understood the moment he saw this girl.

This girl is a person from Huangquan White Bone Dao......

The girl jumped off the back of the bone horse and came to Zhang Cundao in one fell swoop. She stared at Zhang Cundao tightly, and then said happily: "You are Senior Brother Zhang!" ”

Jin Susu glanced at Zhang Cundao strangely, she seemed to be asking, why are there girls you know everywhere?

And Zhang Cundao could only hug her fists and said, "It's the junior sister of the White Bone Dao, why are you here?" ”

The junior sister immediately said: "I'm the town guard here, I heard from my little ghost that a strong man broke into the town, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be Senior Brother Zhang!" Do you know? Ever since Master Yun took us away, we've missed you. Why didn't you follow Master Yun? ”

Zhang Cundao smiled and said, "That's a long story......

The junior sister immediately said, "Oh, senior brother, come in quickly and go to my residence to talk." After speaking, she took Zhang Cundao's hand and walked towards the town.

She did so to make the town's ghosts look at each other, but they didn't say anything. This place is the most guarded, so they should continue shopping.

The younger sister of the White Bone Dao is surnamed Yang, and Zhang Cundao only had a slight impression, at that time he was only familiar with Bai Jingjing of the White Bone Dao. He is not familiar with Senior Sister Yang, but Senior Sister Yang is too familiar with him, and he was the favorite of all White Bone Dao girls back then.

Not long after, Zhang Cundao arrived at Senior Sister Yang's residence, and several female ghosts brought them tea and poured water. Senior Sister Yang asked in a chattering voice, "Senior Brother Zhang, I heard that you left the Huangquan Sect and left Master Yun, where did you go?" ”

Zhang Cundao said: "After I left you, I traveled around, and later went to the Immortal Realm, and by chance comprehended the Dao Yun in the Immortal Realm, and achieved the Yun Dao. Then I left the Immortal Realm and came to the Savage Realm. This time, I was going to collect medicinal herbs, so I came here. ”

He briefly recounted his own experiences, and then asked, "What happened to you?" ”

Senior Sister Yang said: "Back then, Master Yun comprehended the Dao Yun and was directly promoted to the Yun Dao Realm. It became the walking of the Huangquan Sect. However, the Huangquan Sect also existed in name only at that time. Several elders joined the White Elephant City with most of their disciples. And Master Yun took us to join the command of the Yama Demon King, she is now one of the ten Hades of the Yama Underworld, known as the Spider Mother Yama King. We, the disciples, practice the White Bone Dao under her, and we also work in the Enma Underworld to earn resources. ”

So that's the case, Yun Zhen also came to the wilderness realm.

The Savage Realm is like a big city in the Foggy World, and it is always attracting elite talents from all walks of life. Yun Zhen, that ambitious and powerful woman, is not surprised at all to come here.

Senior Sister Yang looked at Zhang Cundao, and then whispered, "Senior Brother Zhang, do you want to go back?" In fact, we all know that Master Yun likes you very much. We don't know what happened to you, but if you beg her and say something soft, Master Yun should accept you. Wouldn't it be great if we practiced together when the time came? ”

Zhang Cundao smiled bitterly, he and Yun Zhen really couldn't go back. He shook his head and said, "The matter between me and Master Yun is very complicated, so don't ask." I have no intention of going back. And I'm now a member of the Thousand Illusions Sect. ”

"Thousand Illusions Sect? Isn't this the sect that fights with us? Senior Sister Yang was stunned for a moment, but she immediately said indifferently: "They beat them, we will deal with us, you are still my good brother." ”

These disciples of the White Bone Dao had no sense of belonging to the Enma Underworld at all, they were the personal disciples of Yun Zhen.

Senior Sister Yang sighed, she was a little sad that Zhang Cundao couldn't come back, but she was already very happy to see Senior Brother Zhang again, what more could she ask for. She took out a bone bead and said to Zhang Cundao: "This is my natal bone bead, Senior Brother Zhang, you take it, you can communicate with me with this." ”

Zhang Cundao took the bone bead, then flipped it over on his body, and also took out a Setter's spirit rune and said, "You can also contact me if you hold this spirit rune." "It's kind of leaving each other's contact information.

Senior Sister Yang happily took this spirit rune, she carefully put away the spirit rune, and then asked: "Senior Brother Zhang, what do you have to do here, our senior sister has people in various prefectures, and we can all help you." ”

Zhang Cundao smiled slightly, and said: "Speaking of which, I really have something to ask for, it is said that your underworld is rich in Ganoderma lucidum, and I just need Ganoderma lucidum for refining medicine, I don't know if you can help me get it?" ”

When Senior Sister Yang heard this, she smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this. She thought for a moment and said, "Senior Sister Bai Jingjing has a suitor, and she is in charge of a coffin field, and the quality of the lingzhi produced there is very good. I can get it for you. ”

Zhang Cundao was happy in his heart, this was an unexpected joy. He was still thinking about how to contact the people of the Enma Underworld, and he couldn't think of solving this problem here. He was about to take out a little Tongbao as a deposit. But he immediately remembered that he didn't have a penny.

He looked at Jin Susu beside him, he had already asked her to borrow 10,000 tongbao, and he was a little embarrassed to ask again. So he said to Senior Sister Yang: "Senior Sister Yang, now I don't have any money in my hand, I may need you to pay in advance." Don't worry, I won't do you any wrong. ”

When Senior Sister Yang heard this, she immediately said angrily: "What's this, Senior Brother Zhang doesn't need to worry about this, if Senior Brother Zhang doesn't make up for a while, it's okay not to give this money." "It's a big deal to be a girl who eats soil for a year or two, and she can still get the money.

Jin Susu on the side heard this, and her face became very exciting again. She glanced at Zhang Cundao, he was very skilled in borrowing money, did he often ask women to borrow money?

……

After finishing business, the two chatted again. I haven't seen it for many years, but there are actually quite a lot of topics. The female cultivators of the White Bone Dao are amorous and bold, which is determined by the exercises they practice. From amorous to ruthless, this is their practice of the White Bone Dao. It's just that many times, they will fall into amorous and can't get out, and how many people are really amorous and ruthless.

Gradually, the sky was white. A two-and-a-half-year-old rooster in the town also began to crow. When Senior Sister Yang heard the rooster's crow, she immediately said: "Oh, it's going to be dawn, and the ghost town is going to be hidden at dawn, I can't talk to you more, I'm going to open the hidden formation." ”

Zhang Cundao also stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then I'm going to continue on my journey." Senior Sister Yang, we are destined to see you again. ”

Senior Sister Yang nodded, and then her body slowly disappeared in front of him. In the next second, a gloomy wind blew, and the lights in the town suddenly went out, and the whole town fell into silence, and then the scenery in front of Zhang Cundao changed, the seat in front of him turned into stone, and the room he was in also became a cave.

He got up and walked out of the cave, only to find that there was a mess of woods outside, and there was a town out there. Jin Susu, who was beside him, also stretched at this time, and then said, "Okay, we should continue to hurry." ”

He had already asked for directions last night, and from here he could walk a hundred miles east to Qingyongdao, and the Li family was in the Black Rock City of Qingyongdao, which was a local noble family, and there were many monks in the clan, and it was a relatively large force in Fusang Country.

Zhang Cundao and Jin Susu continued to fly eastward, and not long after flying, they saw scattered villages and towns. These towns, which can be seen in broad daylight, are normal towns. After flying for a while, I finally saw a small city, which was the city of the Li family in Qingyongdao - Black Rock City.

Zhang Cundao's target was the loquat leaves in the Li family's old house.

After entering the city, Zhang Cundao found that the houses here were low, a cut shorter than those in the Tang Kingdom. He looked at it and found that the people were generally shorter, so the house was also low. This made him a little uncomfortable, can't a short man live in a taller house?

In fact, this has something to do with the customs here, and the people here pay attention to tailoring and doing what they can. Even the houses are built just enough to accommodate people...... Therefore, many things here seem to be pocket-sized, even the meals are rationed, one less is missing, and it is enough to live.

The Li family is the largest family in Blackstone City. Zhang Cundao came to the door of Li's house, and immediately took out a letter of worship and handed it over. The guard at the door saw a tall Tang man coming, and he was well-dressed and had a good countenance. Immediately, he didn't dare to slack off, and directly welcomed Zhang Cundao into the living room, and then went to tell the master of the Li family.

In the low living room, Zhang Cundao sat a little stiffly, the low roof gave him the illusion that he would hit his head when he stood up, in fact, he would not hit his head if he really stood up, there was at least a foot of margin.

After a while, the head of the Li family came. He took Zhang Cundao's greeting post and said politely to Zhang Cundao: "The guest is Zhang Danshi of the Thousand Illusions Sect?" ”

Zhang Cundao nodded and said, "It's exactly below." ”

The Thousand Illusions Sect is also a great sect, and it still has some face outside with this name. After the head of the Li family confirmed, a smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said: "This is a distinguished guest, if there is any inappropriate hospitality, please forgive me." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Zhang Cundao said his meaning: "I came to visit your mansion this time to get some loquat leaves." I heard that there is a 10,000-year-old loquat tree in your house, which can already transform into a human form. This is a euphemism for Cheng Jing.

The head of the Li family nodded, and he said, "Originally, according to your identity, it was not too much to ask for some leaves. However, something has happened at home recently, and the loquat tree is a little awkward, and I am afraid that this leaf is not easy to obtain. ”

Zhang Cundao understood in his heart when he heard it, this is a pretext, and it is obviously a starting price. But this is human nature, he and the Li family have no friendship, everything is business.

He smiled and said, "I'm willing to buy it at a price of two tongbao per leaf, and I'm an alchemist, if you need it, I can help you refine a furnace of pills." ”

He inquired, and the leaves of this loquat tree are no better than the fruit, and the fruit is a spiritual fruit, and the price is high. But the leaves are not worth much here, even if they are the leaves of the loquat tree spirit, the price of these two tongbao is very reasonable.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Zhang Cundao's words, the owner of the family still shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of price. ”

Zhang Cundao's brows furrowed, this is not a matter of price, it means that the price is still low. This person is so greedy, two treasures to collect a leaf, he still thinks the price is low?

Zhang Cundao said vigorously: "The head of the Li family, if you are too greedy, you will have no friends." ”
