Chapter 244: The Old Witch's Voice

"Does the girl remember?"

"Remembered."

"Do you want a mask? Eight hundred taels of silver. ”

"No, I have."

Tsurumi Chuyun watched the shopkeeper accept the five taels of silver, and didn't stay long, turned around and left here.

Out of the pawnshop, she walked about fifty steps to the east of the street according to what the shopkeeper said, and when she reached the intersection, she walked more than two hundred steps to the street on the right, and really saw a red-walled courtyard, and then turned left and walked forward, but the shopkeeper only verbally indicated the road, in fact, the streets in the city are intricate, after walking for more than ten minutes, Tsurumi Hatsumo stopped, looked back, with some confusion in his eyes.

She was lost again.

"This ......"

"Old witch, you can really laugh at me."

"Do you know how to get around?"

"How do I know? I haven't been to this place again. ”

“…… Ah! It's annoying! ”

Tsurumi Hatsuun couldn't help but complain, but she had no choice but to keep going.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for her to see two people wearing red masks swaggering out of an alley, and the people next to her didn't think anything strange when they saw them.

With a happy look on her face, she hurriedly ran over and entered the alley where the two had come out.

According to the shopkeeper, after entering the alley, she kept walking inside, and after about four or five minutes, she came out of the other side of the alley, and the world in front of her became extraordinarily wide, and the sound in her ears became extremely noisy.

However, when he swept around, Tsuru was stunned when he saw Hatsukumo.

Shen Yi also complained: "What kind of ghost market is this, it's clearly a vegetable market." ”

Shen Yi is right, this is an open-air bazaar, there are many people, buying and selling.

About five or six meters away from Tsurumi Hatsukumo, there is a stall with some sweet potatoes that I don't know where to dig up, all of them are relatively small and not very numerous, and there is still fresh soil on the skin of the sweet potatoes.

In the distance, there were people selling weapons they had made, and others shouting for the wild vegetables they had just dug up.

Noisy sounds, dense crowds, and a few people wearing ghost market masks mingled in it, indicating that this was a ghost market.

Tsurumi Hatsukumo turned around and found some stalls selling fairy powder and some strange things, and then she didn't do anything, just remembered the location of the place, and left the place.

Then, she used two hundred yuan to find an inn nearby to stay, and while letting Shen Yi come out to eat, she set up the Dan furnace, summoned the Dan fire to wrap the bottom of the Dan furnace, threw medicinal materials into it, and directly started alchemy.

And after Shen Yi finished eating, he fell to the side comfortably, closed his eyes to digest the red gas, and didn't care about her.

But after closing his eyes for a long time, his consciousness became a little dazed, and in a daze, he heard the sound of her walking around, and the sound of pulling the bench, which was a little noisy, but it was soon gone, and he didn't bother to open his eyes to see.

I don't know how long it has been, but when I woke up, it was already dark, and I was woken up by Tsurumi Hatsukumo.

"Xuanli! Xuanli! Wake up, don't sleep, it's time to go! ”

Hearing her voice, Shen Yi opened his eyes a little blankly, and the beautiful girl in front of him was a little unreal.

"Dan refining?"

"Hmm."

"How many furnaces have you refined?"

"Two furnaces, twenty-three in all."

"Okay." Shen Yi nodded, his forelimbs were about to stand up, but soon he sensed that something was wrong, squinted at Tsurumi Hatsuun and asked, "Eh, when did you remove your makeup?" ”

"It's not comfortable, so I'll wash it up."

"Oh~" Shen Yi still felt something strange, but he just couldn't say it, and after answering, he stared at her face carefully, and saw that Chuyun was also a little puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yi didn't respond this time, until his eyes saw her white neck and looked at her face again, Shen Yi finally found that her face was as white as a piece of paper, and there was an inexplicable sense of madness.

"No, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so white? ”

"My face is already white." Tsurumi Hatsumo touched his face and didn't think anything strange.

And Shen Yi, who found out that something was wrong with her, felt that the more she looked at it, the more she felt that there was a discord, how to say it...... He didn't know if it was the uncanny valley effect, but the old witch in front of him just had a lifeless feeling.

"No, you don't feel the right way for me."

"What's wrong?" Tsurumi Hatsuyun was even more puzzled, but where could Shen Yi say her question?

Feeling is feeling, how do you describe this stream of consciousness thing?

"I can't tell......"

"And what do you want to do?"

"Don't move."

"Okay, I'm not moving." She nodded, really squatting in front of Shen Yi and didn't move, and he thought about it, and finally reached over with his paws, wanting to pinch her face.

Of course, this time he didn't have the idea of joking, but seriously, but what Shen Yi never expected was that as soon as her claws touched her collar, she seemed to be leaking air, and she flattened down instantly.

This scene made Shen Yi's mind go blank suddenly, and he only instinctively shouted: "!" ”

"Old witch! it! What's your situation? ”

"You didn't tell me you were a paper man!"

"What the hell is wrong with you? Get up! ”

"Old witch!"

Shen Yi was completely stunned now, he subconsciously went to pull her, only to find that her body had turned into ashes, but it was still colored.

"This ......"

Well, now he is even more confused, suspecting that he has fallen asleep, and is now in a dream, all this is not real, everything is fake.

But if it's a dream, it can't be so real, right?

Shen Yi remained motionless, as if he was stupid, and at this time, a very abrupt laugh came from under the bed.

"Poof...... Haha......"

This laughter sounded like it didn't hold back laughter, it wasn't loud, but it shocked Shen Yi back to his senses, he looked at the bottom of the bed suddenly, and vaguely saw something curled up underneath.

"What the hell! You come out for me! ”

"Okay, okay, I'll come out."

After a while, the real Tsurumi Hatsuyun came out from under the bed, patted the ash on his knees and looked at Shen Yi with some amusement.

"Scared?"

"Scare you, what kind of plane are you doing?"

"This is a puppet, what you just saw is my puppet, how is it, not bad? Also, I've reached the net level! ”

"Clear?"

"yes."

"Hmm." He wasn't surprised at all that the old witch had cultivated to the Pure Rank, and after nodding, he looked at the puppet ashes on the ground and fell into deep thought.

The old witch has cultivated to the net level, which means that she can cast some strange spells in the future, but she is a Muggle, especially for illusions and other things that have no means to deal with it, and she can't prevent it, and the question is, will she play tricks on herself?

Like now?

Thinking of this, he looked at her face again, and found that although her face was a little more bloody than the previous puppet, it was still very pale, so he asked faintly: "Are you also a puppet?" ”

"Huh?" Tsurumi Hatsumo was stunned: "I'm not." ”

"Not? Are you sure? ”

"I'm really not, I don't believe you touch it." She stretched out her hand as she spoke, Shen Yi grabbed it and rubbed her delicate skin, the feel was that of an old witch, and she didn't leak directly like the puppet before.

But he still didn't believe it.

"Okay, it's definitely a puppet again, and this time the technology has improved a lot, right?"

"Not really!"

"Tell me, where is your body?"

"I ......" Tsurumi Hatsumo was speechless, he is now the body, how to explain it?

Shen Yi swept around with his senses, but the puppet was similar to a living person in the perspective of his senses, and he couldn't find it, and he couldn't tell which one was the old witch's body.

"Don't say yes, do you? Okay, when I find you, you old witch. ”

"I'm really not a puppet!"

"You're not a puppet, why are your faces still so white?"

"That's because...... This ......" In a hurry, Tsurumi Hatsuyun took out two paper figures from the storage space and handed them over, Shen Yi looked at them, this paper figure was cut out, and some blood-red runes were painted on it, faintly revealing a ghostly light, which looked very evil.

"What?"

"This is a puppet paper man, and it needs to be used to perform puppetry."

"And then?"

"I've been making a puppet paper figure since I was alchemy, but if you want to make a puppet paper figure, you need essence blood...... Look. Tsurumi Hatsuyun stretched out her hand again, but this time with her palm facing up, so that Shen Yi could clearly see the marks of needle on her fingertips.

"Uh......"

"Puppets don't bleed."

"So you're the Being?"

"Or else?"

“…… Okay, let you go this time, if you dare to do this in the future, don't blame me...... Hey, hey, hey......"

Tsurumi Hatsuyun rolled her eyes, and she didn't bother to pay attention to him, but thinking about his bewildered expression just now, she felt a burst of amusement in her heart.

"Okay, okay, I won't, it's time to go."

"Let's go."

Seeing Shen Yi turn into a ball of light and enter her consciousness space, she didn't stay too long, put away her things and left the inn, heading in the direction of the ghost market.

As the shopkeeper said, there are relatively few people in the ghost market at night, less than half of the day, thanks to the sparsely distributed everywhere, there is a red lantern hanging in front of each stall, but most of the stalls are empty, the dim red light is like a cold star scattered in the night, illuminating the darkness in different places, but this not only does not make the ghost market a little more noisy, but makes it more deep.

Tsurumi Hatsukumo found a stall where no one was around, hung a lantern, put the cloth on the stall, and sat against the wall, with a lazy posture.

She lowered her hat and let the veil cover her masked face tightly, no one knew if she was closing her eyes to recuperate, but only Shen Yi could see that the sword in her palm was flowing and lasted for a long time.

"Is it fun?"

"It's fun."

"It's fun, let me play with it."

"How is this going to play for you?"

"Is there really no way for contract beasts to practice?"

"If I cultivate to the empty level, I should be able to help you."

"Come on, when you cultivate to the empty level, the daylily will be cold."

“……”

"By the way, can you do something about it?"

“……”

Seeing that the sword qi in Hatsukumo's palm disappeared, Tsuru hugged his arms and closed his eyes and stopped speaking.

There weren't many people in the ghost market, but not few, and then some light could see some people walking around in the dark.

Most of these people don't wear masks, and they show their true appearance generously, and they don't care about the ghost market at all.

Only a small number of them wore ghost market masks that could block sensory and spiritual senses, and they acted cautiously, most of them were sellers, but their business was not good, and from time to time customers would stay in front of the stall for a while, but they would shake their heads and leave after a while.

Except for some sellers who boast about the fakes on their stalls, the rest of the sellers sell beautiful women or able-bodied men who don't know where to kidnap or arrest, and the ghost market here is no longer like a ghost market, more like a slave market.

But there was no shortage of family members for those who could afford to buy slaves.

A noble young man in a brocade robe glanced back, and took the general layout of the ghost market into his eyes, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

He looked at the few servants in front of him: "Okay, don't look at it, there's nothing to see, it's not too late, let's go back." ”

"It's the young master." The servant in front of him replied respectfully and followed the young man.

"Don't go, look at this again, this is a spirit stone!"

The seller of the stall still wanted to keep it, but they didn't pay attention to it at all, and walked briskly along the aisle in the middle of the stall with people, but before passing by Tsurumi Hatsukumo's stall, he paused for a moment, turned his head and saw that the stall had nothing but a lantern and a piece of cloth, and this strange stall was the first time he had seen it.

Looking up and sweeping to the back of the stall, he vaguely saw a person, sitting casually and lazily, with a slender body, but without a chest, and wearing a hat, he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Retracting his gaze, the noble young man looked at the cloth in front of the stall again, thinking that it was some rare treasure, but when he looked left and right, he found that it was just an ordinary tablecloth.

At this point, he was even more puzzled, looked at Tsurumi Hatsuyun and said, "Are you selling things?" ”

Tsurumi Hatsukumo had already noticed him, and when he asked himself, he coughed twice and responded to him with an extremely strange voice.

"Hmm."

"What are you selling? This rag? ”

"Naturally not, what I sell is an elixir."

"Pills?" The noble young man raised his eyebrows, and he was interested, this person's voice was very strange, he couldn't say it, but he didn't bother to care about these, what really mattered was the pill.

And the more she listened to her voice, the more she felt like the voice of the wind god in a game in her previous life, it didn't sound like a man's voice, but that breath made people feel like this was what a man said.

Very offbeat feeling.

"Yes."

"What elixir do you have?"

"I have Pei Yuan Dan ......" Tsuru Chu Yun just wanted to say all the pills he had, but only when he said Pei Yuan Dan, the noble young man's eyes lit up, and he directly interrupted her.

"How many do you have?"

"Twenty-three."

The noble young man was slightly disappointed, as his family has migrated out in recent times, but there are still many people left in Huaiying City, and these twenty-three Pei Yuan Dan are not enough at all, and they are even a drop in the bucket.

But soon the look of disappointment in his eyes disappeared, twenty-three Pei Yuan Dan was certainly not enough to face a family, but if it was just himself, it would definitely be enough.

"How much silver do you sell?"

Tsurumi Hatsumo didn't speak, just stretched out three fingers, but the next second she regretted it.

The noble young man nodded at the speed of light, barely giving her time to react, and threw several money bags directly into the stall, the silver coins in them colliding and rubbing, jingling bells.

"I want them all."

“…… Harm~"
