Chapter 67: The Ghost Market (Part II)

Yu Xiu walked out of the thick fog, the hem of his clothes lifted in the wind, and his feet stepped on the slightest mist, like an immortal. As soon as he left the fog, the noisy and lively sound reached his ears, which lifted his mind slightly.

As far as the eye can see, the surroundings are gray, the light is dim, and it is a little gloomy, and at the same time, there is a trace of mist floating in front of it, which looks extremely strange.

Many Taoist knights walked out of the dense fog one by one, and stepped to the lively place in front of them, all of them looked calm, and their voices were continuous, just like the people in the mortal world.

Yu Xiu stood on the edge of the dense fog, listened carefully, and could hear many sounds of buying ** strokes, quite enthusiastic.

"Is this a ghost market?" he opened his eyes to the scene in front of him, his eyes shining.

The four-eyebrow Taoist priest on the side suddenly said, "Why are you stunned! ”

Scholar Ning Chen also looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, and was scolded by the Taoist priest, before he came back to his senses, he muttered: "Go, go......"

Seeing this, Yu Xiu restrained the trance in his eyes, acted as normal, and followed the four-eyebrow Taoist priest and scholar.

The freshly baked ghost market directory allows you to grasp the news of the ghost market in one hand, whether it is a talisman elixir or a rare treasure ......"

Suddenly, a boy ran by the side of the road, constantly peddling something. Yu Xiu and the scholar stared over and found that the boy selling the newspaper turned out to be a fox in clothes.

When the fox saw the three people who had just entered the ghost market, he immediately ran over on all four paws, and then took out a newspaper from the basket.

"Guest, do you want to report?" it didn't open its mouth, but its voice was out.

Seeing that Yu Xiu and the scholar had a look of surprise in their eyes, the four-eyed Taoist priest didn't care, and explained with a smile: "This is a fox raised and hired by the ghost market, and the newspaper records the things that will be sold in the ghost market in the next few days, as well as some strange things in nearby states and counties, if you are interested and have money, you can buy a copy." ”

The fox man stood up, only half a human tall, quite similar to the fox spirit that Yu Xiu had once strangled. Before he could speak, the scholar arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask the little brother, how much is a newspaper of the palace?"

In ancient times, there were also "newspapers", called Di Bao, or Di Bao, Di Banknote, Dynasty Newspaper, Article Newspaper, Miscellaneous Newspaper, etc., which were specially used for the court to transmit the documents and political information of the court and other things, and most of the people who read to understand the affairs of the world came from this.

Therefore, when the scholar saw the newspaper, he was not surprised.

When the fox boy heard this, he stretched out his paws and said, "I have here the Harvest Chapter, Persona, and Ranking, half a silver copy, one silver and three copies, I don't know if the guests want one or three copies?"

"What, what?" the scholar was shocked on the spot, "Ten thousand dollars!"

When the four-eyed Taoist priest heard the scholar's words, he laughed and said, "Don't think about it, poor ghosts, it's better to wander around here more and inquire about the news." ”

Yu Xiu heard the conversation between the two and knew that the newspaper in the fox boy's hand was made for the convenience of the guests of the ghost market, especially those who did not know much about the ghost market, and immediately had the idea of buying a copy in his heart.

"It costs 10,000 yuan to enter the market, and three newspapers cost 10,000 yuan, and the prices in the ghost market are really inhuman. He thought to himself, "In this way, I am not considered to be rich." ”

Yu Xiu thought that he had received more than 200,000 yuan from the monk and was already considered rich, but as soon as he entered here, he found that he was still a poor ghost.

Thinking about it, Yu Xiu pinched a silver coin from his sleeve and said, "One of the three kinds." ”

"Haole!" Hearing Yu Xiu's words, the fox boy grinned, and hurriedly took out three ghost city newspapers from his back basket and handed them to Yu Xiu.

"Sell newspapers!" "Sell newspapers......" After selling his things, the fox boy waved at the three men, and then ran to the others.

"Yixiu Dao is long!" The scholar saw that Yu Xiu bought three copies, and praised it again and again, and his eyes looked directly at the ghost market newspaper.

Yu Xiu glanced at him, handed one from the three, and then handed another one to the four eyebrows.

"Haha! Daoist friends are indeed atmospheric, and with this newspaper, it also saves Lao Dao a lot of errands. The four-eyebrow Taoist priest thanked Yu Xiu.

The three of them walked towards the ghost market while reading the newspaper in their hands.

This newspaper is no different from the newspapers Yu Xiu had seen in his previous life, except that the layout is a little simple, but there are pictures and words, and after being written by a special person, people can find out the news they are interested in at a glance.

What Yu Xiu was holding in his hand was the "Persona", which recorded the recent events related to cultivators in Jiangzhou, as well as the famous events in the world. He perused the newspaper in his hand, and for a moment it was an eye-opener.

"It turns out that there are so many treasures in the cultivation world, so many masters, and so many spells...... Yu Xiu said several "so many" in his heart.

The scholar read the ghost market newspaper in his hand, and he was also dumbfounded, "This list has a list of immortals, a list of grandmasters, and a list of magic weapons...... It's like a chivalrous story in the storyteller's mouth. ”

Hearing the words from the scholar's mouth, the four-eyed Taoist suddenly sneered and said, "The list was originally for the Heavenly Pavilion to judge the strength of the two immortals and martial arts in the world, and for the Taoist to judge the situation. Later, people were ignorant and only thought that it was a ranking of strength, so they directly called it 'leaderboard'. ”

"After that, there were good deeds for it, all kinds of weapons, magic weapons, pills, talismans, and skills...... Even prostitutes have jumped out and have rankings, which is convenient for everyone to compare. ”

Yu Xiu heard the conversation between the two, raised his eyes to look over, and sure enough, he saw a list of directories written on the newspaper in the scholar's hand, among which there were categories such as alchemy, refining, and drawing talismans, which could be understood.

The scholar's eyes suddenly lit up, staring at the four-eyed Taoist priest, and said, "Dao Chief, the people on this immortal list are really all immortals?"

When the four-eyed Taoist priest heard this, he nodded and replied, "Yes." Only those who are ghosts and immortals and above can be on this list. ”

He pointed to the newspaper in the scholar's hand, "If you turn another page, you will find that the 'Immortal List' can be subdivided into the Immortal List and the Immortal List, the former is a single list of martial arts people, ranked according to their strength and realm, and the latter are all people in my Immortal Dao......"

Yu Xiu listened carefully, although he cheered up, but the Taoist priest's words were already a little unincomprehensible.

"There are cultivators in the world!?" there was a thunderclap in his chest.

Although the "Book of Taoism" has been saying that cultivation can become an immortal, and you can be reincarnated and immortal after nine grades, Yu Xiu's cultivation is low after all, and he has never seen it with his own eyes, so he has always hidden doubts in his heart.

Now that he saw that the names of the people who had cultivated to become immortals were directly listed in the newspaper of the ghost market, and the deeds related to the immortals were also written, it was quite familiar, and the doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared by half.

"According to the Taoist priest, this list is something that circulates the world, and cultivators know it, so there should be few falsehoods. ”

Yu Xiu stared at the so-called "Immortal List" and found that there were only eighteen lists on it, while there were nine on the "Fengshen List" and "Dengxian List".

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked directly: "Dao Chief, there are only nine people in the world who have become immortals! What is the reason why there are only nine people on the list?"

When the four-eyed Taoist priest heard this, he looked at him with interesting eyes. Seeing this, Yu Xiu arched his hand, and no longer concealed his identity as a newcomer to cultivation, and asked the other party to explain.

"It is true that there are not only nine people in the world who ascend to immortals and nine people who become gods. There are many strange people and strange things in the world, and there are always things that become immortals in the world, and the truth is different. The immortals on the list are the eighteen people who have been confirmed by the Heavenly Pavilion and are known to the world, of which there are exactly nine immortals and martial arts. ”

The Taoist priest paused, "It is rumored that there is another list in the hands of the Heavenly Pavilion, and anyone who cultivates more than the ninth rank will occupy a place on it, which is quite mysterious, but this list is secret......"

Yu Xiu listened to him talk carefully, and felt dizzy for a while, and his heart longed for it.
