Chapter 9, The Ghost Market Behind the Grave
The two didn't communicate much on the way, and they left the entrance of the Tianwu Emperor City and came to a place five miles outside the city.
I saw that the night was deep, and the crescent moon was shining in the sky, but this place was a gloomy tomb, and the gloomy air was swirling, and the horses seemed to be frightened, and they were unwilling to go forward.
There are a series of graves in front of them, all of which are strangers who have died in a foreign land and cannot find relatives, or some criminals who have died and were buried here by the government.
The grass was quite high, and it also emitted a smell of corpses, mixed with the occasional two wind sounds like ghosts crying.
It's scary.
However, in previous lives, people have already studied the dead thoroughly, this is a soul force, and some people are resentful after death;
It will turn into a resentful spirit, and when it becomes strong, it will become a resentful clan, specializing in eating the souls of all races to cultivate.
And Li Changqing had also encountered this kind of thing in his previous life, but generally powerful cultivators were not afraid, and there were resentful police in that world who specialized in hunting down resentful spirits, similar to the ancient Maoshan Taoist priests.
In this life, there are obviously such lonely souls and wild ghosts, and at this moment, Changqing and He Piaopiao, who were bold, walked into the Yin Tomb Slope.
Immediately, some ghost power rushed in, but the two who were immortal cultivators were not afraid, and they saw that the spiritual light on their bodies blocked this ghost power from their bodies.
He Piaopiao frowned, she didn't seem to have encountered this kind of thing, she didn't have two lives in Changqing, and she was sent to Jiuhua Mountain by her father to practice since she was a child.
Rarely go out.
Suddenly arrived in this eerie ghost land and it was a big night, obviously a little frightened.
just saw that Li Changqing beside him looked fearless, and forcibly raised his courage again.
Hmph, can't be looked down upon by this waste_(•̀ω•́"∠)_
"Hey, little sister is scared and says, oh, don't hold on. ”
Changqing turned his head and quipped.
"Hmph, don't be afraid......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a yin wind in his ears, and a ghost voice came: "Come on...... Come and play with me...... Is it?"
"Ah~" A scream came, and I saw that He Piaopiao was completely scared, and ran directly behind Li Changqing and grabbed the clothes behind Changqing's back.
"Giggles~ Play with me, young lady......"
The ghost sound sounded in the ears of the two again, and Changqing saw that there were gloomy graves all around, and green flames kept coming out again.
Hey, there really are ghosts.
"Ghost~" Li Changqing jumped up and shouted in He Piaopiao's ear.
"Ah~{{{{}(>_<)}}!"
I saw He Piaopiao constantly covering his ears, stomping his feet and screaming.
"Hahaha! You're still an immortal cultivator, look at it scares you. Li Changqing looked at this scene and smiled.
After speaking, I saw him take out the ghost order from his arms, raise it to the sky, and shout loudly: "I need to go to the Yin Ghost City and ask the ghost envoy to guide ......."
The sound turned into an echo and drifted far away.
After a while, I saw a force sucking away the ghost order in Li Changqing's hand, and a slightly yin black shadow suddenly appeared in front of the two.
At this time, He Piaopiao also knew that Changqing was teasing her, and was angrily twisting the meat behind Changqing's back on the side.
"Ah, it hurts, I said Miss, you are cowardly, I am practicing your guts......"
Li Changqing touched his back painfully.
"Hmph, who said I'm timid, I just don't fit in, and next time, see how I beat you......"
He Piaopiao pouted and said.
At this time, the black shadow on the opposite side seemed to confirm the authenticity of the ghost order.
He made a hoarse, ghost-like voice and said, "Follow me......"
The green flames of the surrounding graves, as well as the ghost sound, slowly disappeared, and Li Changqing and He Piaopiao hurriedly followed the black shadow.
There were gusts of wind and ghost crying all around, and there was still a green ghost fire floating in the distance, if there was no ghost envoy to guide them, ordinary people would be scared to death when they came in, or they would be attacked by ghost fire.
It seems that this ghost market is not simple.
Following the ghost envoy, after a few quarters of an hour, the three of them finally passed through the mass graveyard, and at this time the front was wide, but the gloomy atmosphere was even more eerie than just now.
There is a beam in front, the plaque has two big characters of yin and ghost, and there are two ghost statues on both sides, which exude a trace of yin power, making people dare not approach.
Those who don't understand still think that they have gone to the underworld.
I saw that the ghost envoy brought the two to the entrance, and returned the ghost order to Li Changqing, and the figure disappeared in front of the two in a flash.
The two swallowed their saliva fiercely, and Changqing became bold and took the lead in Yin Ghost City.
As soon as he walked into the ghost market, he saw a black-robed man wearing a ghost mask at the mouth and stopped him.
Li Changqing understood a little, took out the ghost order, and when the black-robed man saw it, he handed two ghost masks to the two.
The two hurriedly brought it.
Walked in.
I saw all kinds of masked people walking on the streets of the gloomy ghost market, and they were about to catch up with the trouble in the imperial city during the day.
Looking at it like this, there were no less than hundreds of people, and some even had a powerful aura coming from their bodies.
Although there are a lot of people here, no one sweeps them with divine thoughts, which is also one of the rules of the ghost market.
The street lights are also very dim, there are some murals of ghosts and gods on the outer walls of the shops, and many shade trees are planted in the two rows.
This ghost market really lives up to its reputation, and the goods sold are all kinds of goods, and even Changqing has seen people selling human flesh.
The fishy aura was mixed with the aura of yin ghosts, making both of them who entered this place for the first time breathe rapidly.
However, Li Changqing quickly made up his mind, and kept asking passers-by about the poisonous devils.
It seems that this person is also very famous in the ghost market, and soon Changqing asked the destination, otherwise there are no less than hundreds of shops that don't know when they will be found.
After passing through several bustling streets, the two came to a remote alley and saw one of the shops with a plaque that read: "One Poison in the World."
The two glanced at each other and walked in, the shop was not big, there were no other customers, and the lights were very dim.
"What do you want to buy?" I saw a grim old man who looked like a ghost, and said hoarsely.
"Old sir, we need to buy poison, I heard that you are known as the first poison in the Tianwu Kingdom this day, so let's see if there is any poison suitable for us. ”
Li Changqing said in a low voice.
"Hmph, Tianwu Kingdom, I said that no one dares to recognize the second, say what level of poison do you want, the poison I have here is not to say that it is a mortal, even the immortal cultivators who refine qi can poison ......"
The old man was obviously very confident in his medicine.
"Oh, I wonder if the old gentleman is smiling here?"
When the old man heard this, his eyes lit up and his eyelids narrowed:
"Hmm, you also want to buy the goods with a smile. ”
"Old man, I wonder who else bought this poison besides us?" Changqing hurriedly inquired.
"Hmph, you know the rules of the ghost market, don't ask where you come from, if you want to buy it, you can buy it or not. ”
The poisonous devil was a little angry.
What a stinky old man.
But Changqing didn't dare to say this, so he could only be depressed.
At this moment, the somewhat angry poisonous devil suddenly put away his anger and laughed twice: "You have the breath of that person on your body." ”
Changqing sounded a little inexplicable, whose breath?
"Take out the ghost order. The old man continued.
Li Changqing just understood a little, could it be that the token given by the old man was something boring.
Thinking about it, he didn't hesitate to take out the ghost order and hand it to the poisonous devil, and the old man stretched out a pair of old hands and touched the ghost order.
After a while, the poisonous devil spoke: "Is the old ghost dead?"
"Hmm, senior, what do you mean?" Li Changqing said suspiciously, not reacting for a while.
"The old ghost who gave you the ghost order, my senior brother, is known as the corpse saint, and the king is the corpse yin. ”
It turns out that the old man of Fengtianfu still has such a title, and it seems that he is still a big master.
"Oh, my predecessor and my teacher are actually brothers, it seems that it is really fate. ”
Li Changqing felt that the poisonous devil seemed to have a good attitude towards the puppet, and analyzed that the two should not be hostile, so he had an idea and lied that he was a student of Wang Shenyin.
"Oh, the ghoul is your teacher, no wonder you came here to find me. Tell me, what are you here to ask?"
The poisonous devil's attitude is indeed a little better, and his voice is not so low.
Hah! I really got it right.
"Senior, recently I was investigating a murder case with my teacher, and the deceased died with a smile, so the teacher ordered the junior to come here to inquire about it. ”
Li Changqing hurriedly said.
The poisonous devil seemed to fall into deep thought, and after a while, he spoke: "With a smile, it was indeed sold to one person three days ago, but this person also wears a mask, you know the rules of the ghost market, and you will never ask about its origin." ”
"What kind of cultivation does this person have? is he a man or a woman, is he tall, short, fat and thin?" Li Changqing reacted very quickly and hurriedly asked about these important relevant information.
"Judging by its breath, it should be only four layers of qi refining, male, height and weight are about the same as you......"
The poisonous devil didn't think about it for too long, and replied one by one.
......
It was already about two o'clock when I walked out of the ghost market.
asked for some relevant information, Li Changqing also had some doubts, these information was actually a little imaginary with Chang Wei, could it be that Chang Wei really bought it himself and never committed suicide.
The two took off their masks and walked through the gloomy mass grave area according to their memories, and walked out of the grave slope, this time it was obviously much faster, and the two of them were also used to the ghost crying in their ears.
Seeing that the horses tied to the trees were still there, the two mounted their horses and prepared to return to the city.
The night was dark and thick, and it was also shrouded in a dark cloud, just like the gloom in Changqing's heart.
At this time, he was a little tired.
Seeing Qianying on the side, I couldn't help but quip: "Little sister, it's late at night, do you want to open a room......"
"Hooligans, hum!" I saw He Piaopiao show his hand, and a wave of spiritual energy shot out from his fingertips and hit Li Changqing.
Li Changqing was shocked, where was his second-order cultivation opponent, and he was instantly hit by spiritual energy in his chest.
"Oops!" he screamed, and he fell off his horse.
However, He Piaopiao didn't make a heavy hand, he just wanted to teach this scoundrel a lesson.
Seeing Li Changqing's embarrassed appearance, He Piaopiao stopped and laughed.
Phew~ Fierce mother-in-law.
When I surpass you one day, I will definitely catch you and beat your ass until it blooms.
Staring at He Piaopiao, Li Changqing YY, the day he cultivated to become strong......
