Chapter 6: Night Market
The inn where Ji Yu and the others stayed was called "Tianxiangju", which was the inn with the best conditions in Wild Sand City. Ji Xiao and Ma Yuan each asked for a Tianzi room, Ji Yu is No. 3, and Ma Yuan is No. 5, just next door to him.
Everyone was tired from coming all the way, so after they finished eating, they all went to their respective rooms to rest. Although Ji Xiao felt uneasy in his heart, he didn't find anything wrong. But instead of carelessly settling in the room, he chose to close his eyes and recuperate. Anyway, even if he doesn't sleep for ten days and ten nights now, there won't be any big problems.
In the middle of the night, Ji Xiao heard a knock on the door.
In the dark, Ji Xiao asked out loud, "Who is it?" ”
He asked three times in a row, but there was no response.
The knock on the door still kept ringing, as if he would never stop until he opened the door.
Ji Xiao suddenly found that the sound of Ma Yuan's breathing next door had disappeared for some time.
In addition to something knocking on the door, Ji Xiao could also feel a yin aura.
It's not the first time he's encountered something weird and inexplicable, so he's very calm, thinking: I'll see what you are.
Ji Xiao got up immediately and didn't light the lamp, he was already used to life in the dark anyway, he slapped it out lightly, the door bolt fell, the door slowly opened, and a figure appeared.
He looked at it and said lightly: "It turned out to be you, no matter how you knock on the door, you won't make a sound." ”
The figure is none other than the cool envoy Ma Yuan. He was carrying a wet bag in his hand at this time, and he didn't know what it contained.
Ma Yuan said: "I'm here to invite the national teacher to have supper." ”
His voice was very wooden, and Ji Xiao also found one thing, that is, he had no breathing and no heartbeat.
Ji Xiao pretended not to know and asked, "Where is the supper?" ”
"Inside the bag. Ma Yuan still replied woodenly.
Ji Xiao let out an "oh" and said, "Show me." ”
Suddenly, a phosphorus fire broke out in front of Ma Yuan's head, and he lifted the bag, and when he opened it, under the light of the phosphorus fire, it was enough to clearly see the contents of the bag, which were all washed heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and there was water on it.
He Mu Mu said: "I invite the National Teacher to eat my heart and liver." ”
Ji Xiao smiled coldly and slapped Ma Yuan in front of him with one palm. Then a miserable scream sounded, and the previous heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, including Ma Yuan, all disappeared. After being reborn, he still has the ability to be fearless of ghosts.
As soon as the ghost thing came into contact with him just now, it was immediately sucked dry of yin qi.
The light in the next room turned on, the door opened, Ma Yuan stretched out his head, rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked around, found Ji Xiao, and asked, "Master Guoshi, I seem to have heard a scream just now." ”
Ji Xiao smiled and said, "I also heard it, so I opened the door and came out to see." ”
He didn't explain much, Ma Yuan was just a mortal, and telling him the truth would not help, but would make him scare himself.
Ma Yuan was skeptical, but he was still sleepy, so he yawned and said, "Then I'll continue to sleep." ”
Ji Xiao said: "You go to sleep, I'll go out for a walk." ”
Ma Yuan nodded and closed the door.
Ji Xiao walked to the door of his room and bit his index finger. Ten fingers connected to the heart, the blood on the fingertips was full of yang, Ji Yu wrote the word "Fu" in blood on the door of his room, so that ordinary ghosts would not dare to approach this room.
Liang made Ma Yuan respectful to him along the way, and he didn't treat him badly, so Ji Xiao repaid him.
After doing all this, Ji Xiao walked downstairs, and he just heard the sound of a fight in the hall downstairs. He was like a phantom, and in the blink of an eye he was in the staircase between the first and second floors. In the hall, a group of people were surrounding a man. When he arrived, he saw the group tearing off the man's limbs, putting the flesh on the man's arms and thighs into his mouth and chewing them, as if they were eating some kind of human delicacy.
These people are all guys from Tianxiangju. During the day, they didn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary, but now they're all man-eating monsters.
They all found Ji Xiao, as if they had smelled something delicious, and their eyes were glowing green.
The men slowly gathered around, and none of them spoke.
It's just that Ji Yu didn't feel any yin qi on them.
They tightened the fence, and some of the men climbed the stairs to block his way from behind him.
The thumb of Ji Xiao's right hand was clasped on his index finger, and he recited a spell in his mouth, and with a flick of his index finger, a wisp of fire flew out from his fingertips, hitting the person in front of him.
Suddenly flames ablaze on their bodies, and the hall smelled of burnt meat. But these people didn't seem to feel pain, and they didn't snort at all. Even if there was a flame burning on his body, he still approached Ji Xiao's side step by step.
Ji Xiao frowned slightly, his real power was concentrated in his palm, and he slapped forward. Suddenly, the surging palm power rushed towards the person leaning in front.
These people squeezed each other, and there was a chain reaction at once, and they were beaten to the ground, and there was a lot of sound of bones breaking. Ji Xiao lightly swooped over them and came to the hall.
The man whose limbs were torn off was still out of breath, looked at Ji Xiao, and said intermittently: "Please...... Beg...... You, kill ...... Kill ...... I. ”
Ji Xiao sighed softly, and a finger volley hit his eyebrows, and in an instant, this person was completely out of breath.
In just a few moments, the fallen guys all stood up. Some of them were burned by Ji Xiao with fire, and some of them were broken by Ji Liao's palm, but these people can still move, as if they can't be killed.
Even so, it would be easy for Ji Xiao to deal with them, but he wanted to find out the source of this change in these people.
This is where the most critical thing is.
Not only did this kind of strange thing happen in Tianxiangju, Ji Xiao also heard the sound of the night market outside. It's late at night, but it's even more lively outside than during the day.
Those guys pounced again, Ji Xiao looked upset, and when he saw the ropes piled up next to the counter, he had a plan. He grabbed the rope in the air, and it was ingested into his hand.
Then he walked around the hall like a ghost. Then they were all hung upside down on the beams.
Strange to say, as soon as these people were hung upside down, they seemed to have turned into air-dried bacon, and there was no movement at all.
Ji Xiao was slightly surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect to do it right by mistake.
He walked out slowly and onto the street.
It was really lively outside, full of stalls, and red lanterns hung in rows, illuminating the long street like a blood-colored ditch.
Many pedestrians came and went, haggling with the vendors.
Ji Xiao approached a stall, glanced at it, and saw a bloody human head, torso, and human internal organs on it. The person buying things next to him and the vendor didn't seem to have any unusual reaction to the goods in the stall, and the vendor seriously wrapped a piece of heart and liver in lotus leaves.
