Sheng Xuanyan took Qiong Yi's hand and walked towards the dark path in front of him.

Joan was almost close to his side, not saying a word, even holding her breath. The temperature here is extremely low, the wind is gusting, and the road under your feet is not covered with snow, but it looks like a road made of bones, potholes and hard to walk. Sheng Xuan's resentment came on the way to put the lanterns on the streets of the world, and now he can only spend his true qi, and the chanting spell will give birth to a ball of fire in the palm of his hand to illuminate the bright color.

The floating is formed by the convergence of yin and yang, and this thick yin qi will change with time and appear in the world. At first, it was the demons and demons who gathered here in order to trade some unsightly things, and then coupled with the mixing of the rivers and lakes, it was not only ghosts and evil spirits who came here, but a mixture of fish and dragons. There is no requirement for fair equivalence in the transaction here, there is only one thing, and it has been the norm for hundreds of years.

At the end of the path, I saw a bright light, and in the flickering firelight, it was a fork in the road, and there were already moving vague shadows on the side of the intersection, which looked no different from pedestrians from a distance. The architectural styles on the roadside are too different, with seemingly ordinary street stalls and houses, as well as hideous and strange caves like demon nests. In addition to the ordinary candle flames at the stalls, the red flames, green flames and dark blue phosphorus fires illuminate the area and exude some strange beauty.

The sight in front of her was truly shocking, but instead of sightseeing, Joan wished to leave this haunting place as soon as possible.

Sheng Xuan's footsteps did not stop, and he continued to walk forward, passing by several stalls one after another, "If you are afraid of seeing the appearance of a ghost, close your eyes, I will tighten you." ”

She listened, answered hoarsely in her throat, and worried that he didn't hear clearly, and gently squeezed his hand.

The stall owner on the side of him chatted with the customer, saying that the treasure he was selling had such a talent, how could he say that the customer was stunned. There are also people who are shouting and selling, and there are even miscellaneous artists, and people or ghosts who have gathered around them applaud and applaud again and again. For a few moments, Joan felt that this place was no different from the outside.

Maybe it's because Sheng Jun is by my side, she thought.

Wherever the two of them went, the demons and demons in that place cowered and avoided each other, for fear of being next to them.

Sneaky really... Don't dare to lean over...... Qiong Yi's remaining hand was on Sheng Xuan's forearm, which was originally a tight nerve, eased a little by his side, it seemed that as long as he was there, even if there were ghosts all around, she could feel at ease.

Qiong also felt her eyes fall on her, and vaguely glimpsed a skeleton in a black robe standing on the side of the street, staring at her with those empty eyes, so frightened that she shrank back to Sheng Xuan, and was put on his shoulder with his arm in his arms.

Joan's heart was beating fast, half out of fear and half because of the person beside her.

It's looking at me! Joan also closed her eyes: that skeleton seems to be staring at me all the time!

"It's... Daoist ......" the skeleton's chest made a slight tremor, "a cultivator who does not hide his aura...... Could it be ...... I went to the auction of Baoqiantang......"

A crow standing on its shoulder replied, and made a coquettish female voice: "Have you seen that frightened girl?" There is a seductive ghost aura in her, she wants to eat, she wants to eat. ”

“…… The spirit of the little ghost...... Nothing unusual...... It can only attract some lowly ghost ......"

"You're saying I'm inferior? Bah! ”

“…… Don't make a fuss......"

After walking a long way, Qiong Yi dared to raise his head from Sheng Xuan's arms: "Sheng Xuan, this place is almost full of ghosts and demons...... Why didn't anyone come and take them to the end? We...... Can't you purify them? ”

"Yes." He replied crisply.

After speaking, his voice changed: "It's okay to go out, but not here." This has been the rule for hundreds of years. ”

After being silent for a long time, Qiong Yi seemed to think of something, and her eyes fell on the lily of the valley on her waist: "Sheng Xuan, 'kill'...... What is it? ”

"It's a very extreme kind of personality." Sheng Xuan said lightly: "There is no superiority or disadvantage in the life grid, but the life of 'killing', the fate of the Wu, the Zhuo has his own talent and immortal fate, and he was born to overcome ghosts and evil demons, and he can suppress the evil spirit of one side." ”

Joan was stunned.

"On the day I was born, I was Zhongyuan. It should have been a hundred ghosts and restless, and the twin demons under the Jiuzhi stage usually broke out, but that night was unusual. He paused as he spoke: "Later, my father showed me my fate, and it was indeed 'killing'." ”

No wonder...... No wonder that night, Sheng Jun entered the grove, and the cry of the female ghost disappeared.

"Sounds like ...... Legendary characters alike. Joan also said in a low voice.

Sheng Jun was originally a man of the year in Luo Yao...... She thought, appearance, cultivation, life experience, which point is not first-class. When he thought about it like this, he couldn't help but pull him tighter, and the loss and self-discouragement in his heart rose like a tidal wave.

"Nothing special. Before I met you, I didn't think it was useful for the ghosts to fear me. Sheng Xuan curled his lips and said to her.

Joan also froze, and her steps quickened.

This market is very long, there are many forks, each intersection is very similar, although the two of them go straight to the other end of the long street, there are still a lot of detours in the middle because of ghosts and stalls. Sheng Xuanyan stood in front of the fork in the road for a while to distinguish the direction, and led her to continue walking.

"Qiong Yi, why do you attract ghosts?" Sheng Xuan asked knowingly.

"I don't know, since I had an accident when I was a child, I was scared by a ghost...... Qiong Yi said: "However, I haven't left the Lujia Mansion in Taiyang much, and I rarely encountered ghosts after that time." ”

It turned out that Lu Yuhao didn't tell her, and Sheng Xuan said secretly.

He thought carefully in his heart: There is a book on the books, except for the living, the dead are ghosts, the strange are strange, the evil is evil, the evil is deep, the spirit is the essence, and the refinement is the demon. I remember that Joan also seemed to say that she was only afraid of ghosts and evils, and seemed to be ...... monsters

When passing by a stall, a furry thing suddenly jumped up, startling Qiong Yi, and when she looked at it, it was a big hermit mouse with a child's face, which was a little weird. The thing also seemed to be taken aback, and covered its face with a pair of claws: "Yo yo! Don't hit me! Don't hit me! ”

Sheng Xuanyan put down the hand that was blocking Qiong Yi and looked at the hidden mouse.

The Hidden Mouse peeked through its paws, and when it saw that nothing had happened, it quickly jumped onto the tall wooden chair behind the stall. "You! Look what I'm doing! ”

"It's a goblin, not a demon." Sheng Xuan said behind him, and Qiong also looked at the immature face growing on the stuffed animal, and felt miserable.

"That's it! I'm not a ghost! The tail of the hidden mouse curled up again and again: "Don't look at my face, people have cultivated it with great difficulty!" ”

Sheng Xuanyan and Qiong also glanced at each other, only to hear the hidden mouse say to himself: "It must be that my face is too beautiful to make you so staring, alas...... Huh? Huh! Don't go! ”

"This little brother and girl, don't you change something and then leave? I'm all good here, and I won't let you down. ”

Sheng Xuan turned his head with resentment: "How do you get out of the Stygian Street?" ”

The Hidden Mouse pointed to the road ahead with its short paws: "When the light of the fire is dim, you can go out by walking forward with your eyes closed, but you will have to wait for half an hour at the earliest." After speaking, it said: "Okay, the answer is over, the information is also goods, in exchange, look at my treasures." ”

"I have to... Half an hour ......," Joan muttered.

"The fastest! It will take half an hour at the fastest! The hidden mouse clung into his waist and straightened his hairy belly, "Come on, I have a lot of good things!" ”

Sheng Xuan didn't plan to come here in the first place: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring anything that could be traded, so I can't buy it." ”

"Huh? Well?! Didn't bring anything with you to the Ghost City? So what are you doing here? See the scenery? It muttered to itself again: "Well, no! You guys got here by mistake, right? Oops! It's not uncommon for a lot of people to stumble in every day! There is nothing else that can be exchanged, such as lifespan, appearance, heart and lungs, etc., you can do it! ”

Sheng Xuan frowned and looked at the items on display: "You are not worth it." ”

"Don't be angry! I'll give you an analogy! It grinned and said, "I've never had that kind of thing, it's all serious business." ”

"Qiong Yi, do you have anything you like?"

Joan shook her head.

"Don't panic! Look at this Pure Heart Pill! Well...... Forget the worries! And the Nexus Lock! Don't you use any of that? The Hidden Mouse scrambled to jump off the high chair, "That's it! You see it's so dark, and you don't have a lantern here, or ...... Uh-huh—" it rummaged through before holding up a small candlestick, "or this!" I'll sell you this cheaply, and I'll show you the way!" ”

Joan also took out a copper coin from his sleeve: "But I only have this." ”

"Bright and shiny!" The cryptomouse covered his mouth, then coughed twice and pretended to be calm, "What shiny thing wants to attract me!" I'm already a big monster. Well...... Come closer, show me! After speaking, he quickly took the copper coin from Qiong Yi's hand, and leaned in front of him to look at it carefully: "It's just that human coins can be sharpened like this." Oh? Water ripples, what kind of magic tricks are hidden. ”

"However, the Five Elements Technique has long since declined, and this luster is very low, and this amount of water trick is not worth it." The hermit turned his head and proudly touched his gray and black candlestick: "And my little candlestick, but what can always be lit is an inexhaustible candle!" ”

"If you don't sell it, you will leave, and the copper coins will be returned." Sheng Xuan stretched out his hand.

The Hidden Mouse was anxious and shouted, "Don't! Otherwise, let's discuss it again and sell you. Then he muttered in a low voice: "Alas, today's children are really good at bargaining, if it weren't for the fear that I wouldn't be able to do a single business tonight, I wouldn't ......."

It muttered a conch from the hemp bag under the high wooden chair and handed it to Qiong Yi: "Girl, your voice is so good, I like it!" The rest of the price, well, can you sing? It's okay if you don't read me a poem. ”

"Let's go." Sheng Xuanyan took Qiong Yi's hand and said.

"This, this, this! What's this! I don't want her voice! The Hidden Mouse jumped twice. Joan also looked at Sheng Xuan with some puzzlement, but he turned his face away.

"Conch, do you want to sell it?" Sheng Xuan asked the hidden mouse.

The Hidden Mouse was shocked, "Sell? …… Sell! But don't you have nothing to trade? ”

Sheng Jun ...... "Joan didn't know what he wanted to do.

Sheng Xuanren took out a short knife from the inside of the drapery, Mo was about a long one, and the knife box was inlaid with tourmaline, and the workmanship was extremely fine. "This is not a loss for your conch, right?"

The jaw of the hidden mouse was about to drop, "No loss, no loss!" Yes! Done! Say it's good to change the conch, you can't go back. After that, he immediately handed over the conch: "The candlestick is also for you, take it!" ”

Joan also took the candlestick and conch handed by the hidden mouse, and Sheng Xuanyan handed the short knife.

The hidden mouse looked at the gem on the knife case, overjoyed, and waved to the two people who were far away: "Slow down, slow down!" ”

Qiong also handed the conch to him: "Sheng Xuan, why do you want to buy this?" ”

"I want to buy it."

"Really?"

“…… Really, I've wanted a snail for a long time. Sheng Xuan was dumbfounded, and seemed to put away the conch casually.

Qiong also chuckled helplessly, and diverted the topic: "If there is still half an hour, we will ......" When she was talking, she saw a boy running through the crowd, holding a lantern in his hand, didn't it happen that he was the child who tricked her into the ghost market!

"Sheng Xuan!" She said, "I see the kid who tricked me!" ”

"The author has something to say: The next chapter of the two groups of people is about to converge~ (Because Sheng Xuan was born to restrain ghosts, ghosts were afraid of him, so when he was a child, he was thrown into a ghost cave probably like this: The ghosts were huddled together and shrunk in the corner: Woo woo woo woo is so terrible and terrible!! Xiao Sheng shrank in another corner: Woo woo woo Niang woo woo brother Woo woo, so many ghosts, so terrible, terrible, terrible, woo woo woo...... Although the picture will be a little funny, it is really sad to be thrown into it alone_(:3ゝ∠)_If it weren't for those childhood experiences, Xiao Sheng might probably grow into a sunny and cheerful boy like Su Ye...... ）」
