Chapter 68: The Law of Ambushing Fire (I)
There are many pedestrians in the ghost market, and it is not surprising that Yu Xiu and the other three people are mixed in the middle.
Yu Xiu listened to the introduction of the four-eyed Taoist priest all the way, observed the surroundings all the way, and found that there were shops, stalls, and inns in the ghost market...... It is quite similar to the mortal market, but the goods sold are shocking.
I saw a few coffins on the corner of the street, and a man in a black robe stood quietly in front of the coffin, and from time to time someone came forward to bargain, and then took the body in the coffin.
There are also gourds hanging on the gray-robed man's body, and when he opens one casually, there will be a loud roar inside, and a cloud of ghosts will emerge.
There are also talismans, ores, pills, weapons and other things, which opened the eyes of Yu Xiu and the scholars.
Suddenly, scholar Ning Chen looked at a certain stall and exclaimed: "This is ......"
I saw that there was a fence behind the stall, like a sheepfold, but the things tied inside were not cattle and sheep, but living people. And these living people are all in green shirts or Eguanbo, just like the clothes of a scholar.
When the scholar saw this scene, his teeth chattered, and he suddenly remembered the scene outside the ghost market.
Yu Xiu raised his eyes and looked over, and he happened to see the round-faced middle-aged man who had been talking earlier. The other party seemed to have finished bargaining, took out a scholar from the sheepfold, and left satisfied.
When the four-eyed Taoist priest heard this, he said, "That's a scholar dealer, who sells scholars with literary temperament to others for people to absorb literary qi and cultivate." ”
The scholar's face was even more frightened, he paused for a long time, but he still couldn't help but whisper: "Dao Chief!
The four-eyebrow Taoist sneered and did not object, "That's right! Only wastes such as demons and fierce beasts will steal other people's temperament and use it!"
Yu Xiu saw that the Taoist priest was quite contemptuous of this move, and he had some conjectures in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Dao Chief, this move should have a lot of drawbacks?"
The four-eyed Taoist priest was not going to say more, but when he heard Yu Xiu ask again, he replied: "Wenqi is the best food for Taoist cultivation. No matter what the hurdles and obstacles, you can use them to get through. ”
He glanced at Yu Xiu and said with a smile: "Presumably Daoist friends have a deep understanding of this!"
When the scholar heard the words of the four-eyebrow Taoist priest, his face changed suddenly, and he looked at Yu Xiu in shock, and his eyes were even more frightened than when he saw the sale of living people just now.
"Idiot!" But the four-eyebrow Taoist priest suddenly knocked his head hard and drank: "What do you want!"
The Taoist priest went on to explain, "There is nothing wrong with a cultivator who only uses the Wen Qi on his top as food and uses it for cultivation. The sages created the method of refining the literary qi, in order to promote the immortal Tao and take the world's scholars into their pockets. ”
When Yu Xiu heard this, he looked at the scholar. The scholar was nodding his head, suddenly realized, and when he saw Yu Xiu looking over, he arched his hand in embarrassment.
The four-eyed Taoist priest said: "But after this method spreads, the demons use this method to steal the spirit of others, and it can also enhance Taoism...... When short-sighted people see this, they become evil. ”
He sneered and said, "But his anger is not his own anger in the end, once this happens, not only will the foundation of cultivation be severely damaged, but it will be difficult to cultivate an inch in the future." Over time, even the souls of Daoists will be defiled and their minds will be lost!"
Hearing the four-eyebrow Taoist priest say carefully, Yu Xiu's heart tightened slightly, and he was secretly glad that after he obtained the food qi transformation mystic technique, he did not greedily steal the literary qi of other scholars.
After walking, the Taoist seemed to feel thirsty, and exhaled: "Let's stay first, eat some tea and then go out for a walk, the ghost market will be open for seven days, don't panic." ”
When Yu Xiu and the scholar heard it, they would not object, and at the same time, Yu Xiu was still holding a thin horse in his hand, which would be much more convenient if it could be stored in the inn.
The three of them walked to a mahogany inn, and the Taoist took a closer look at it, and said, "That's it!" he stepped into the inn.
There is a guy outside the door of the inn, not a spirit, but a human appearance. Yu Xiu led the horse, and a fellow immediately came over to take the reins for him.
At this time, Yu Xiu's eyes were slightly condensed, staring at the guy.
The innkeeper was dressed in a green coat and soap hat, his face was white, and his lips were bright red, but the green was like lacquer, the black was like ink, and the red was like blood, and his face was as white as white paper.
This job is a paper man of equal height made of paper.
It's just that the handiwork of the paper figure is fine, the outline is delicate, and the face is lifelike, so you have to get close to see the clues.
The paper man was stared at by Yu Xiu, and did not speak, but just bowed down, stretched out his hand, and waited for Yu Xiu to pass the reins at any time.
Yu Xiu paused, handed over the reins, and commanded: "Take care of it." ”
The paper man took the reins, waved them again, and then led the horse to the back of the courtyard, behaving no different from ordinary people.
Yu Xiu walked towards the inn and found that the inn in front of him was also made of paper. He stepped on the threshold, and there was a rustling sound, tough but not brittle.
"Fellow Daoists, come on!" the four-eyed Taoist priest sat at a table in the window of the inn, and the scholar was standing aside and waiting. Yu Xiu heard his call, temporarily put his mind down, and hurriedly walked over.
A rickety yellow-haired shopkeeper was standing at the table, and it looked at Yu Xiu and made a gesture. Yu Xiu took a closer look and found that it was a weasel wearing a man's robe.
The weasel snapped the abacus in his hand and said, "The guest officer wants to stay?
"Ninety thousand dollars in total, the horse erased it for you. It looked at Yu Xiu intently: "Do you live in the hotel?"
Yu Xiu saw the spirit philistine in front of him like this, his eyes were slightly stunned, and then he looked at the four-eyed Taoist priest and scholar sitting on the side.
The scholar was bowing his head crampedly, not daring to look at Yu Xiu, while the Taoist priest was calmly drinking tea.
Yu Xiu thought for a moment. Along the way, the Taoist priest in front of him had a gentle attitude and was well-informed, willing to guide Yu Xiu and the others, and some words benefited him a lot.
Yu Xiu arched his hand towards the weasel shopkeeper, took out nine silver coins from his sleeve, and handed them to the other party, "Three people and one horse, stay for seven days." ”
The weasel shopkeeper closed the abacus in his hand, "Okay! ”
The corners of its mouth smiled, quite treacherous, I don't know if it was such a habit, or if it was a trick for three people.
Yu Xiu finished paying the bill, threw off his robe, sat down at the table, and picked up a piece of pastry to eat.
When the pastry is bitten into the mouth, it melts in the mouth, and the taste is beautiful, but there is nothing special about it, it can neither increase the blood qi nor increase the yin god.
"Just mortal things. Yu Xiu muttered in his heart, but in an instant he lost his smile.
It costs 10,000 yuan to enter the ghost market, three newspapers cost 10,000 yuan, and 90,000 yuan to live in the ghost market for seven days in a row is already considered cheap, how can you ask for too much.
In this way, the three of them and one horse have a place to settle in the ghost market.
Three days before the ghost market, Yu Xiu and the scholar did not leave the four-eyed Taoist priest an inch, and completely regarded the four-eyed Taoist priest as a guide......
