Chapter 41: Ancient Temples (National Teacher)
Akiri picked up the noodles and was about to put them in her mouth, when the diner sitting directly across from her also raised their heads to look at Akiri.
Qiu Li raised her eyes to look at him, and suddenly noticed that the hairs on her back stood up, she turned her head, and the people at several tables behind her were all looking at her, and the door between the kitchens was pushed open again, and the proprietress was holding a bowl of noodles in her hand, and her eyes were fixed.
Qiuli's hand holding the chopsticks shook, her eyelids jumped and she glanced at the yellow paper she had placed on the table, she grabbed it, and the yellow paper was held in her hand again.
Their eyes seemed to lose focus for a moment, and one by one they lowered their heads again, and the proprietress slowly walked back to the kitchen with a noodle bowl on the table of a new guest.
Where is this night market, this is a ghost market! Qiu Li didn't have much rune paper on her body in the first place, and she had already used up all of them in Xikou Village, otherwise, the rune paper would naturally remind her.
Now that she is not walking, nor is she eating, she silently recited the incantation, took out a clean water, wiped it in the corner of her eye, and looked at her bowl of noodles again.
At this moment, the deceptive aroma is gone, this bowl is the ashes of the smoking incense burner, and those diners use chopsticks to flip through the ashes to make the smoke stronger.
At last there was no smoke in one of the diners' bowls, and he stood up, a bill on the table, and he went out the door in a flutter.
Qiu Li looked at the yellow paper in her hand, took out one, put it on the table, and tiptoed out by herself.
As soon as she arrived at the door, a pair of cold hands grabbed her, and the voice of the proprietress sounded: "Less, not enough!" β
Qiu Li's heart trembled, and she handed over a knife of yellow paper.
The proprietress gave her a strange look after accepting it, and suddenly floated back a few steps.
Her voice sounded ethereally: "She's hot!" β
The "professional game interface" in my mind sounded: "drop" sounded, and then a pop-up window popped up:
γRelease Task:
Mission Name: Ghost Market in Xidu Town

Known clue: Find the room where you woke up.

Mission Failure: Obliteration; γ
That line of small words, Qiu Li didn't have time to look at it, she took a step back.
The eyes of the diners looked at each other, and Qiu Li ran away, and when she reached the street, the lights were dim, the vendors were hawking, and the pedestrians were weaving.
A few ghosts behind her had already floated in her direction, and the yellow paper in her hand was contaminated by the moist air in the air, and after a moment it turned into a few wet balls of wet paper.
The effect of the yellow paper is lost, and at this moment she is like a light in the dark night. Countless pairs of eyes looked at her, and she quickly put on the "invisible rag" and disappeared.
A vendor close to her craned his neck and sniffed, pointing to her location.
Oh no, these bastards can sniff with their noses too.
But the nose and smell need to be close to work, and Akiri turned and ran, and sure enough, the vendor lost her place in an instant.
On the street, shouts began to be heard one after another: "She's here!" In this ......"
Lying down, Qiu Li ran wildly, and further ahead, several clever ghosts built a human wall, apparently trying to catch her in this way.
Qiu Li braked sharply and ran towards the relatively empty alley on the left, the time for invisibility was about to come, Qiu Li's breathing was short, and her heart was beating like a drum.
As the warning of the "drop" sounded in his mind, Qiu Li's figure was exposed, and the ghost sound behind the alley was surging, and Qiu Li put away the rag.
She found the alley to be very similar to the one in front of the house where she lived.
At the end is still the dock.
Almost without hesitation, she jumped hard, and the whole person was suddenly submerged by the river.
The water in the Qingming season was still cold, and the chill quickly wrapped her whole body, and her eyes widened in the water, and the water was not as dark as she imagined, but faintly bright.
Her eyes crossed the bottom of the water, her eyebrows jumped, her heart beat sharply, and countless corpses were lying at the bottom of the river, looking up at Qiu Li, who had suddenly broken in.
They were old and young, men and women, and their pale and puffy faces looked at her blankly, and the river around Qiuli began to ripple.
Are all the people in this town drowned? Qiu Li's hairs stood up, and she almost ignored the chill around her, and took out her "ancestral kitchen knife".
Fortunately, the clothes and shoes she wore were extremely friendly to the water, and Qiu Li could swim with half the effort.
She swam faster than ever, and the kitchen knife in her hand emitted a yellow light, giving her anxious heart a hint of comfort.
The corpses at the bottom of the river swelled to the surface of the water one by one with the waves, and Qiu Li didn't care much, brandishing a kitchen knife and slashing over.
The corpses in the river are obviously low-level ghosts, and they have not yet evolved, and Akiri is barely effectively hindered, she has already crossed the entire river and is about to reach the other bank.
Both feet were suddenly hugged by a chubby corpse, followed by a second, a third, and Akiri turned around and slashed down.
Breaking through the current, Akiri grabbed the bluestone on the riverbank with one hand.
After kicking hard under his feet, he kicked away a corpse, and the whole person crawled wet from the water to the shore.
A gust of wind hit, Qiu Li's body was almost frozen when she just came out of the water, her face was frozen white, a woman floating in the air, dressed in red, her eyes were all white, looking at her steadily.
"I know you, Golden Boy." The corners of her mouth rose to reveal a mouthful of sharp teeth.
Qiu Li was shocked, this time she was really going to hang, she hadn't seen the face of the woman in front of her, but this red dress was extremely familiar, this was the bride in Xikou Village.
Qiu Li shuddered, "You...... Will...... Mistaken person? β
"Aren't you dead? Why are you still angry? It's weird...... "The bride stretched out her slender fingers and gently scraped Akiri's cheeks.
Akiri's face tingled, and then it was covered with coldness, and even the pain disappeared.
Akiri clearly felt the moisture on her body surface forming thin ice from her face, and "clicking" ...... her feet and the street.
"Nan no Amitabha!" Suddenly, a Buddha horn sounded on the long street, and a young monk with a thin figure and a calm face walked over.
The bride retracted her fingers, the wind was howling, her hair was blowing, she turned to look at the monk and sneered and said, "Why, Master Guoshi, you have time to come to such a place." β
"One thought of good, one thought of evil, since you already belong to the ghost king's cave, why do you want to go to the world to kill again."
"I don't know, who died in this town?" The corners of the bride's mouth sneered, but the person took a slight step back in the air.
Qiu Li was sealed in thin ice, her whole body was stiff, unable to move a bit, and she heard that the national teacher was still playing with the bride, and she was helpless, seeing that she was taking one breath less.
The chest was tight, the consciousness began to fog, and the heart seemed to be grabbed......
The "Green Snake Bracelet" on her wrist suddenly moved, and the thin ice on her body began to melt from her wrist, and drops of melted ice water dripped from her body.
A hint of warmth quickly probed into the heart, and the heart stretched and began to beat "thump" again.
