After spending the night in the hotel, Yu Xiu continued his journey and rushed to the location of the "Ghost Market" according to the direction indicated by the wooden sign in his hand.

After trekking through mountains and rivers for seven or eight days, he walked into a vast mountain forest, and the wooden sign in his hand no longer needed to be pointed to the northwest direction, and it would shine on its own.

Yu Xiu frowned and looked at the wooden sign, which was scarlet with the word "three", which was extremely eye-catching.

"There are only three days left, but the mountains and forests here are so large that it is estimated that it will take two or three days to walk around. He looked at the mountain range in front of him and sighed in his heart.

And Yu Xiu doesn't know if the so-called 'ghost market' will use a trick to cover its location to prevent it from being discovered by outsiders. If that were the case, it would be difficult for him to find and walk in.

"Strange Tales from the Grass Hall" said that wherever there is a ghost market, there must be fog, and you may be able to find it according to this clue. The thought crossed his mind.

Yu Xiu rode on a thin horse, looking down at the road tracks on the ground, "Follow the road first, find someone to rest for the night." ”

At this time, it was close to evening, and the cold air in the mountains and forests was quite heavy, and although Yu Xiu was not afraid, he was not used to it. If he can find someone, he can not only live there, but also inquire about the other party, and even hire someone to help him find a place for fog in the mountains and forests.

After tonight, there are only two days left before the opening date of the ghost market, and Yu Xiu doesn't want to miss this time. After all, he had limited memories from the brains of the monks, and he didn't know how long the "ghost market" would last.

The mountain road was rugged until midnight, and Yu Xiu had not seen a cottage or a village.

The foxes and beasts roared in the mountains and forests, and at the same time, Yu Xiu could see many double scarlet green points of light in the forests on both sides of the road following him.

From time to time, there was a whining sound at the green light spot, which should be a wild wolf in the mountain forest, and they were already staring at Yu Xiu. Yu Xiu did not have the slightest fear, he rode on the thin horse, walking calmly.

"Huh~" A wolf howl suddenly sounded in front of him.

"Whoa!" Yu Xiu's side immediately sounded a wolf howl, and a rustling sound sounded. Yu Xiu saw that the green eyes around him disappeared, and they rushed forward one after another.

"Found other prey?" he thought.

However, the wild wolf has nothing to do with him, and Yu Xiu is not curious enough to want to know about a group of beasts.

But after walking along the mountain path for a quarter of an hour, he noticed that the wolf was howling in front of him, and the voice of the wolf was faintly sounding.

"Someone?" Yu Xiu's heart moved, and he immediately kicked the horse's belly lightly, letting the thin horse run forward.

I saw a group of wild wolves surrounding a tree, roaring in their mouths and slapping the trunk with their paws. And there was a man crawling on the tree, who was holding the trunk of the tree, his body trembling, and his mouth was constantly muttering something.

"Don't eat me, don't eat me, go away, go away......"

Yu Xiu walked in, and when he heard the words in the mouth of the tree, he immediately burst into laughter. When he looked up, he saw that the person holding the tree was wearing a Confucian costume and carrying a book on his back, obviously a scholar.

Yu Xiu looked at this person, his eyes were full of interest, a weak scholar, he dared to walk alone in the barren mountains and mountains, didn't he want to live?

However, he immediately remembered that when he followed the Taoist priest Wumei, he was also a scholar who was powerless, but he not only dared to go deep into the mountains and forests, but also dared to dig up corpses in mass graves to raise corpses.

The man in the tree had only average courage compared to him.

The thin horse ran to the tree, alarming the wolves, and the wild wolves kept roaring, and slowly surrounded Yu Xiu.

The scholar holding the tree noticed it, opened his eyes and looked down, and saw Yu Xiu riding a horse, and his face was immediately overjoyed, and he waved and shouted again and again: "Help, help!

Yu Xiu glanced at him, looked down at the wolves surrounding him, and found that more than a dozen pairs of green eyes had tightly surrounded him and the thin horse.

But the thin horse that Yu Xiu sat down did not panic at all, but stomped his hooves and snorted, as if he was despising the wild wolf in front of him.

"Horses fight people. Yu Xiu saw its appearance and scolded with a smile in his heart.

At this time, the scholar on the tree shouted again: "Hurry up!

Seeing that Yu Xiu did not move, the scholar took out an object from his arms and smashed it directly at Yu Xiu: "Phew, idiot, what are you doing in a daze! Run away!"

When Yu Xiu heard his shout, he was slightly stunned, glanced at him, and said in his heart: "It's a little conscience, let's save your life." ”

Before he could draw his long knife, the roar of the head wolf sounded, and the wolves immediately pounced on him. But Yu Xiu didn't care, he slapped the horse's belly and galloped away to the place where the wolf shouted.

"Woohoo! Woohoo......"

The head wolf was roaring, and when he saw Yu Xiu riding a horse, he stopped roaring and ran to the side, trying to avoid the thin horse. But at this moment, Yu Xiu turned around, and the whole person hung on the horse's back, and then as soon as the long knife at his waist came out, he directly hacked the wolf to death, and blood spurted out.

Seeing that the head wolf was hacked to death, the wolves around him did not flinch. "Whoa!" they howled, and the green light in their eyes swooped down on Yu Xiu.

"It's a good time!" Yu Xiu laughed, and immediately galloped through the forest, one by one, killing so happily!

In just a few moments, eight or nine wolf corpses were already lying on the ground, and the number of wolves was directly halved.

At this moment, the wolves flinched, and their mouths let out whimpering, and I don't know which one ran first, and all the wild wolves retreated, and fled with their tails between their legs.

The scholar looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, thinking that he was dazzled, and muttered: "Isn't it that I have been bitten to death by a wolf......"

He pinched himself hard, and immediately woke up, and then hurriedly climbed down from the tree, shouting: "Good man! Thank you for saving your life!"

When Yu Xiu heard the words, he also looked sideways at him, and found that the scholar was twenty years old, with a poor and sour face, and he didn't know what he wanted to do when he entered the mountain.

Without waiting for him to ask, the scholar sighed lightly and stared at Yu Xiu's face.

Tonight, the moon and stars are scarce, and the ground and trees are as if frost, so that he can see the appearance of Yu Xiu clearly.

The scholar sang a fat song and said, "Thank you Shaoxia for saving your life! He thanked him, then stepped forward quickly, and asked in a firm tone: "Shaoxia is also here to participate in the ghost market?"

When Yu Xiu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, many thoughts flashed in his heart, and he turned his horse to the scholar and asked with a smile: "What do you say?"

The scholar was overjoyed, jumped over the tree root with the hem of his clothes, and ran to Yu Xiu to make another move, "It's really a great blessing for Xiaosheng to meet Shaoxia!"

"There are still dozens of miles of mountain roads to go to the ghost market, and please take me with the young man and let me follow behind the young man!"

When Yu Xiu heard the words from the scholar's mouth, the thoughts in his heart jumped, and he said secretly: "This scholar really knows about the ghost market!" He was overjoyed in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged, and he looked down at the other party, as if he was thinking.

The scholar was looked at by Yu Xiu, and he was quite apprehensive in his heart, and it took a long time to hear Yu Xiu say, "Can you cook?"

The scholar was slightly stunned, and his heart was immediately overjoyed, he picked up a wolf corpse, and said with great difficulty: "Yes, yes! I also brought spices." ”
