But just as he was about to jump out, a great sense of panic rose in his heart, making Yu Xiu's face change sharply. If he still stays in the flesh, I'm afraid that the cold hair and goosebumps all over his body have already risen.

Yu Xiu froze in place, looking at the slowly dimming sunlight outside the cave, but he didn't take this step after all.

It's not that he's timid, it's that whenever he wants to touch the sun, the panic in his brain will increase greatly, as if there is a cliff ahead, once he steps out, it is difficult to turn back, and he will die directly.

Since the beginning of his cultivation, Yu Xiu's perception has become more and more acute, and sometimes it even has the effect of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, so that he can't believe this feeling.

Yu Xiu carefully reviewed the contents recorded in the Taoist book, and thought with a frown in his heart: "Could it be that there are other tricks in this?"

A "Book of Taoism", although the truth is clear, but many aspects are only briefly mentioned, not detailed.

Yu Xiu began to wonder if something was unintentionally or deliberately omitted from the book.

He stood at the dividing line between sunlight and shadow, and every time he tried to touch the sunlight with the Yin God, the palpitation in his heart would rise and he had to stop moving.

Eventually, Yu Xiu stood in the cave and silently watched the last rays of daylight disappear over the mountain, and the entire valley was shrouded in darkness.

He walked out of the cave and looked at the clouds in the sky, thinking in his heart.

"Practicing alone, after all, you still can't do it. ”

On the way to the Tao, there is a saying that the street is rotten, that is, the path of cultivation needs to have four elements: wealth, couples, law, and land.

"Cai" refers to money and resources for cultivating the Tao; "Couple" refers to fellow Taoists and fellow practitioners; "Fa" refers to the exercises and techniques of cultivating the Tao; and "Di" refers to the monastic mansions that can seek good fortune and avoid misfortune and increase Taoism.

The four are indispensable, and only by having the four at the same time can the Taoist priest's Taoism become more and more sophisticated and practice with peace of mind. If one of them is missing, there may not be any problems in the short term, but after a long time, the Taoist priest will be trapped by it.

And now, the rest is lacking in all four, or rather, none of the four.

Especially in terms of "couples", not to mention Taoist couples who can communicate, after Yu Xiu cultivated, he has not even met a real Taoist priest, how can he talk about exchanging Taoism?

Thinking of this, Yu Xiu's face was not discouraged, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly reached into his sleeve pocket and took out something.

This thing is pitch black, shaped like a wooden tag, one end is flat, and there is a sharp corner at the other end, which is the strange wooden plaque that Yu Xiu obtained from the monk's coat a few days ago.

Holding the wooden card, Yu Xiu stared at the two seals on it, and read softly: "Ghost City." ”

According to the records in "Strange Stories of the Grass Hall", the "ghost market" is the "mountain market", which is a place where monsters and spirits, chivalrous and Taoist priests gather between the mountains and forests and in the fog, and it is not very human and cannot enter.

The record in the book is quite concise, but it only describes the unusual places of the "ghost market", which makes Yu Xiu a little ignorant.

But when Yu Xiu absorbed the memories in the mind of the monk, he knew more about the "ghost market".

It is because of the several books in the hands of the monk, including "The Back Fist of the Cow Membrane", which he obtained in a foggy and strange place.

This place is the "ghost market".

Yu Xiu looked at the "Ghost Market" wooden card in his hand, turned it over to the reverse side, pointed outward, and placed it in his hand.

He shifted his steps and spun around in a circle, and when the sharp corners of the wooden sign were pointed in a certain direction to the northwest, blood-colored veins suddenly appeared on the wooden card, and the veins hooked together, forming two scribbled handwriting.

"Seventeen. "A number.

After several days of observation, Yu Xiu found that the number on the back of the wooden card would change and decrease downwards every time he arrived. Yesterday evening, the number on the wooden sign of the "ghost market" was still "eighteen", and today it has become "seventeen".

Combined with the records in the book and the memories in the monk's mind, he immediately guessed that the number behind the wooden sign should represent the date of the ghost market, and the direction pointed by the tip of the wooden sign is the location of the ghost market.

"According to the memories in the mind of the monk, the 'ghost market' should be a market for practitioners to trade, and they can communicate with other practitioners. ”

Yu Xiu secretly thought that he suspected that the Red Blood Pill in Nanren Temple was also refined by the monk in the ghost market.

Carefully examining the memories in his mind, Yu Xiu did not find anything wrong with the "ghost market", and the idea of going to take a look was born in his heart.

"Behind closed doors, it's time to start reaching out to the world's cultivators. In his heart, he looked down at the "ghost market" wooden sign, and turned his hand to put it in his sleeve pocket.

"But it's still early, so there's no hurry. ”

Based on the knowledge he had learned in his previous life, Yu Xiu estimated that the ghost city was about two or three hundred miles away from him, and there were mounts, so he could rush over in time.

Looking up at the sky, Yu Xiu turned around and walked back to the cave, rarely ready to rest for the night, and then go out of the mountain early tomorrow morning and return to Beiguo County.

The long knife of the county lieutenant of Beiguo County is good. Now that the long sword in Yu Xiu's hand is broken, it is just right to take it and use it.

......

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Xiu rode a thin horse, walked out of the hills, and ran in the direction of Beiguo County.

He is dressed in a Taoist robe, looks green, and rides on a horse, with the demeanor of a young man!

When he walked to the entrance of Beiguo County, Yu Xiu suddenly found that there were no pedestrians on the road, and there were not even a few vendors coming and going, and he secretly felt strange in his heart.

When I walked into the county, although there were people on the street, there were few people, like a frosted ridge, just a few old grass seedlings.

Yu Xiu walked along the way and found that the doors of many people's homes were closed, as if they were preventing thieves and thefts, and some wine shops and teahouses were also closed, deserted.

The scene before me was completely different from the scene seven days ago, as if it had been plagued.

Yu Xiu pressed his thoughts, found an inn at random, and then moved in.

There were no guests in the inn, a shopkeeper stood in front of the counter, a guy was wiping things slowly, and seven or eight wooden tables were empty.

"Shopkeeper, stay in the hotel. Yu Xiu walked in and made a sound first, waking up the shopkeeper.

"Yo, guest officer, here!" the shopkeeper heard the shout, raised his eyes, and smiled with folds on his face, "Xiao Li, quickly clean the room again, if you see a strand of hair, I only ask!"

Xiao Er was scolded by the shopkeeper and hurriedly ran upstairs.

"Wait, lead the horse into the backyard first. Yu Xiu pointed outside the store.

"Xiao Li!

The shopkeeper was like a spinning top, turning down the stairs and running outside the store to help Yu Xiu lead the horse.

As soon as the office was done, Yu Xiu sat at a table facing the street, accompanied by the shopkeeper himself.

Although seven days ago, Yu Xiu made a lot of trouble in the county, but there were many people, and many people couldn't see it clearly. In addition, he has changed his clothes and demeanor now, and the innkeeper did not recognize him.

"What's wrong with the county, I came a few days ago, but it's not like this. ”

Hearing Yu Xiu's question, the shopkeeper immediately said with a bitter face: "Guest officer, don't you know that the county has suffered a catastrophe!"

"What disaster?" Yu Xiu frowned.

The shopkeeper trembled:

"Youkai!"
