Chapter 30: The Ghost City of Xudu
"Ah?!" After Yang Ye revealed the identity of the person in front of him, Cuiyun and Lianhua were also a little nervous, but when they heard this fat-headed and big-eared person say that his name was Skinny Monkey, they really couldn't help but exclaim for a while.
Even Yang Ye glanced up and down at the person in front of him with a little embarrassment, and said unceremoniously: "May I ask the three words of thin monkey, in addition to the word child, do the other two have anything to do with Your Excellency?" The thin monkey also smiled, did not mind Yang Ye's words, and said: "In the past, my family was poor, and I couldn't eat well if I couldn't eat enough, and I was as thin as a monkey since I was a child." Isn't it that later developed, so naturally you have to enjoy it, and it turns out to be what it is now. The skinny monkey said as he touched his big belly with his hand.
Yang Ye was also amused by his appearance, looked at the thin monkey in front of him, who was only in his early thirties, and said, "Okay, since you have picked it up, you should tell me about the thin monkey, why do you want to deceive us of this copper coin?"
The thin monkey grinned when he heard this, and said, "That's it, although I concealed my identity as an inverted fighter, but I plan to buy that copper coin for real money, so how can it be called a fraud?" Yang Ye didn't bother to compare these things with him, and continued to ask: "To the point, what is the origin of this copper coin, and then what do you want this for?"
The thin monkey looked at Yang Ye and the Cuiyun and the lotus with a puzzled expression, and said after a while: "You really don't know what this copper coin is?" Yang Ye said angrily: "What nonsense, say it quickly!" The thin monkey put up with a tall posture, straightened up his big belly and said: "If I am not mistaken, this copper coin is the Yunjing copper coin of Wudang Mountain, it is said that there are only three, and the wearer can be called all Wudang walkers today, to put it bluntly, it is a symbol of status." ”
Yang Ye listened to what the thin monkey said, turned his head and glanced at the ordinary copper coin in Cuiyun's hand, and said in a low voice: "Then what do you want to deceive? Do you still want the children of Wudang to help you rob the tomb......?" Suddenly, it seemed that he realized that he had talked a little too much, and he was silent.
glanced at Yang Ye, who didn't know what he was thinking there and smiled evilly, and said, "Since you don't sell that Yunjing copper coin, then it's okay if you don't do this business, and I'm going to say goodbye." ”
Yang Ye immediately stopped the thin monkey's body when he turned around, and said, "If I guessed correctly, you want this copper coin, you just want to find a Wudang disciple to be your bodyguard, right, to protect your safety in the ghost market to trade." The thin monkey lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you clearly, although my uncle and I have superb fighting skills and profound knowledge, but my martial arts skills are indeed a little worse." Although the ghost market transactions were safe at the time, they leaked their identities and were blacked out afterwards, so your guess is right, and I want that copper coin. ”
Yang Ye was also overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then how do you look at me? Pick up a bodyguard for nothing, not to mention taking two maids outside, how about taking us to the ghost city then, I will ensure that you are well." After listening to Yang Ye's words, the thin monkey was really completely stunned, and he was still thinking in his heart, what would he do if Yang Ye robbed or coerced him to hand over the Eight Treasures Jade Pagoda, but Yang Ye came out like this.
The thin monkey looked at the young brother in front of him who was holding a green sword, and then looked at Cuiyun and Lotus next to him, and said, "If your purpose is just to let me take you to the ghost market, there is no problem, the ghost market stipulates that everyone with a night order can bring a maximum of five followers." If that's the case, do I still have to find two people with strong martial arts again, after all, you still have two girls here, and this time I will be a thin monkey to make you such a friend. ”
Yang Ye also smiled, looked at the thin monkey with a bitter face in front of him, and said with both hands: "Where is the monkey master, I am just your guard, as for finding two more people, I will forget it." I saw that as soon as Yang Ye finished speaking, Shui Xing came out of the sheath and flew in the air, surrounded by blue light and black rhyme.
"The art of the sword!" The thin monkey blurted out an exclamation when he saw the apricot flying sword in the air, and sat down on the ground.
In the next few days, the thin monkey came to Yang Ye and them when he had nothing to do, and even took out the Eight Treasure Jade Pagoda that he was going to send to the ghost market to trade and showed Yang Ye and them. This thin monkey knew very well in his heart that the treasure was gone, and he could still find it again, but this master of the sword art was not so easy to hold on to his thighs.
Yang Ye is an interesting person, seeing that this thin monkey is so enthusiastic, he slowly became familiar with him, this thin monkey is also interesting, not only sticking to Yang Ye every day, but also treating the Cuiyun and Lotus flowers as aunts and grandmothers, what precious pastries, what good rouge, as long as he can think of it, he has found it.
"Big brother, you see this is the night order, and when it comes tonight, I will take you to the ghost market in the drunken capital. The thin monkey said, and took out a black iron waist card from his bosom. Yang Ye took the waist card and looked at it, there was a ghost-hunting Zhong Kui painted on the front, and a few big characters on the back of the hundred ghosts walking at night, no matter how you look at it, I don't think it's a rare thing, so he said: "This is the night order you said you bought for 100,000 taels of silver? ”
The thin monkey listened to Yang Ye's words, his face was happy, and he hurriedly brought a basin of water from the side, and put the waist card in it with a proud look. I saw that after the waist card entered the water, the black traces on it retreated, and slowly melted into the water, and the waist card turned into gold, not to mention, and the whole thing floated on the water.
Yang Ye was taken aback, and the Cuiyun and Lotus next to him also came over curiously, and the thin monkey saw this and reached out and shook the waist card in the water a few times, and then picked it up, only to see that the night order had returned to its original black, and there was no water on it, not to mention, even the water in the basin was as clear as ever.
"Interesting! This night order is really famous. Yang Ye said lightly, and took the night order again. When the thin monkey heard this, he also smiled and said: "That's not it, it cost Uncle Ben 100,000 taels of silver, if it weren't for the idea that I could sell the Eight Treasures Jade Pagoda at a good price in the black market, I would really be reluctant." ”
Yang Ye played with the night travel order in his hand, looked at the night outside the window, turned his head and smiled at the thin monkey: "Uncle, let's go." With that, he handed the night order to the thin monkey. The thin monkey caught it with a wry smile, and handed out the few masks he brought to Yang Ye and the three of them. As I said before, when I go to the ghost market in Nayudu, I have to wear things to cover my face, one is to hide my identity, and the second is to be safe, so several people also put on masks and followed the thin monkey towards the city gate.
All the way out of the city, Yang Ye saw that the thin monkey leading the way in front of him was still walking, so he asked, "What's the matter? Is this ghost city still outside Qingcheng?" Although the thin monkey wore a scary mask, his tone was still flattering: "Big brother, do you see the wine shop in the corner of the city wall over there, the entrance is there today, I have found out." As he spoke, the thin monkey pointed to an unmanned liquor store in the corner of the city gate in front of him.
"Is it possible that today's entrance can still be transformed. Yang Ye asked casually, but the thin monkey didn't answer, and led everyone to the wine shop at the corner of the city gate. I saw the thin monkey counting what on the wine shelf, and then walked over and twisted the seventh wine jar, and suddenly there was a sound of the mechanism touching, and there was an opening on the city wall next to it.
Seeing this, the thin monkey smiled and said, "Let's go." After saying that, he walked towards the door opened on the city wall, Yang Ye glanced at Cuiyun and Lotus, motioned for the two of them to follow him, and then walked in.
Inside this dark passage is a corridor that winds down, and while walking, Yang Ye can still hear the sound of the water flowing in the moat outside. After walking for a while, I finally saw a faint light in front of me in this dark underground.
After getting closer, a large stone door appeared in front of Yang Ye's eyes, with five asymmetrical torches inserted on both sides, three on the left and two on the right, and the stone door is also depicted with the "Little Ghost Fantasy Picture" of Liu Minghe, a painter of the previous dynasty, and on the top of the stone door, the stone door plate hanging is the word "Xudu".
