lost book

Chapter 40

"Your face is really rare! The Golden Toad Demon is not as greedy as you are!" Bai Liuli said helplessly, "Didn't you tell me that? Wealth is the law of the land, and money is the first!" Jiang Ping said righteously.

"You seem to have remembered this sentence!" Bai Liuli rolled her eyes and said dissatisfiedly, "Well, don't worry about it so much!" Jiang Ping couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when someone revealed his background.

He walked quickly in the direction pointed by Bai Liuli: "Fuliu Street, Fireworks Lane?" Jiang Ping looked at the dilapidated sign above his head, and said softly, "Don't stop, keep walking and you will be there." Bai Liuli Urge.

"Are you sure to continue walking in?" Jiang Ping looked at the blocked road in front of him, and asked with a strange expression, "Will you climb over the wall if there is no road? Really, are you stupid?" Bai Liuli hated iron but steel.

Jiang Ping really couldn't see what was so special about this dilapidated house located in the deepest part of the slum. Jiang Ping leaped over the wall with great skill, and a tall locust tree suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

Seeing this towering locust tree, Jiang Ping let go of his heart just now, and hung up again. It stands to reason that such a tall locust tree, let alone a wall, can be seen even if it is separated by seven or eight houses. What towering branches.

But just now Jiang Ping didn't see any locust trees outside at all, "Could it be that a ghost hit the wall?" Jiang Ping muttered to himself with some uncertainty. Ever since Jiang Ping saw Bai Liuli, a vixen, he had a new understanding of the world. A whole new understanding.

According to legend, the locust tree is a tree of the most yin, which attracts ghosts and evil spirits the most. The spiritual species of locust tree is also the favorite treasure of heaven and earth for ghost cultivators. This kind of thing may not be useful to ordinary monks, but to ghosts Generally speaking, locust wood is beneficial to nourish the yin energy in their bodies.

Jiang Ping looked around, the area of ​​this house is not small, the layout is a little weird, the ground is full of dry leaves, and there are some weird patterns.

"Squeak!" The wooden door that had been in disrepair for a long time made a harsh sound, and the wooden door in the center of the house was pushed open. Jiang Ping turned around suddenly when he heard the sound, and the true energy in his body started to circulate, and the blood flowing through the limbs and bones also boiled. stand up.

As long as ghosts come out, Jiang Ping is ready to use his powerful zhenqi to disperse the ghosts. After all, his pure yang qi can greatly restrain ghosts.

Even if the ghost is so powerful that he can't deal with it, there is still Bai Liuli, if Bai Liuli is not absolutely sure, he will not guide himself here.

"Excuse me, why do you want to break into my house?" An old voice came from the wooden door, and then a dying old man came out with a cane. Like falling down.

Seeing that it was an old man, Jiang Ping's originally tense nerves relaxed again. Jiang Ping just released his spiritual consciousness to investigate, and the energy, blood, and essence emanating from the old man's head were insignificant, as if they would be extinguished at any time.

But he didn't realize that the old man's weak qi, blood and essence were mixed with black air, and the black air was entwined on the old man's Baihui acupoint, and would not dissipate for a long time.

"Old man, is this your house? I wonder if you are willing to sell this house to me?" Jiang Ping asked straight to the point.

"Oh, I'm getting old, and I've grown fond of this old house, my friend, let's change to another place!" The old man tactfully refused.

Jiang Ping stared at the old man for a while, stretched out a finger calmly, and shook it pretending to be mysterious: "Twelve taels of gold?" Don't buy it!"

"Hey, you little friend, why are you so impatient? The price is easy to talk about! Let's talk about it, talk about it!" The old man was also anxious, and hurriedly stopped him, as if he was afraid that Jiang Ping would not buy it.

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Ping was overjoyed and slowed down his pace, but he didn't intend to stop: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, so I know it's hard for me, an old man, one tael of gold, nothing less!" The old man shouted eagerly from behind.

"Deal!" Jiang Ping took out one or two gold ingots from his arms and handed them to the old man. The old man took the gold ingots and bit them with his few remaining teeth. Put it away.

"Since my friend is so sincere, this old man will not hide it from you. No matter the location, the layout of this house, or even the furnishings in the hall, they are all top-notch. Even compared to the county lord's mansion, I don’t want to give in too much, but.” The old man paused, as if he was debating whether to tell Jiang Ping.

"It's okay, old man, since I've given you all the money, I'll definitely buy this house, so you can rest assured!" Jiang Ping comforted. Seeing that Jiang Ping was so determined, the old man continued, "This place is actually a A ghost house, more than ten years, this house has a strange cry at night, and the people who live in this room will become weaker and weaker, go to the doctor to see a doctor."

"The doctor said he was not ill, but the yang energy in his body was depleted. He died not long after he came back. This house has changed more than ten residents, and all of them died without exception. In fact, two first-rank masters were also included!" The old man spoke more and more vigorously, and his voice became hoarse.

After the old man finished speaking, he left the house with unfulfilled desires and sent the old man away. Jiang Ping closed the door of the house, locked it behind him, and walked into the main hall. The main hall was full of dust. Jiang Ping looked around It took me a while to realize that I was afraid that I was cheated, that old man didn't live here at all!
If the old man lived here for a long time, even if he didn't come to the main hall often, he would always open the windows for ventilation, at least the house and courtyard would not have so much dust: "Oh, what a shame, a ghost that no one wants House, I actually spent a tael of gold to buy it! If I go to Yanyu Building, I don’t know how many singers I can find! It’s a big loss! It’s a big loss!” Jiang Ping muttered angrily.

"What songstress? I didn't see it, Jiang Ping, you are not very old, but you have a lot of ideas!" Bai Liuli whispered in Jiang Ping's ear, and Jiang Ping showed an embarrassed smile: "This is purely for cultural exchanges. , um, for cultural exchange!" Jiang Ping prevaricated and found an excuse.

"Huh? Cultural exchange? Then remember to take me there next time, so I can see what the cultural exchange of the human race looks like!" Bai Liuli didn't point it out, but said to Jiang Ping with a playful smile: "cough cough , Easy to say, easy to say." Jiang Ping agreed with dodge eyes, completely without the viciousness in the previous battle.

Bai Liuli jumped off Jiang Ping's shoulders, revealing her human form. Her exquisite body was wrapped in silver-white fox fur, her beautiful face revealed a look of contemplation, and she walked around the house with long legs like white jade. After a few steps, the ten fingers changed and intertwined in front of him, and the purple aura flew up, shining on the old locust tree in the center of the house.

"Swish!" A strange trembling sound came from the old locust tree. Jiang Ping saw that Bai Liuli's eyes, which were originally black and white, had changed into purple-red, mysterious and delicate. Where he was watching, a ball of flames rose up, and the old locust tree suddenly shed dark red blood, which looked very ferocious and terrifying.

"It seems that this place is really Yin Yang Gui Meridian. Otherwise, how could there be a spiritual species of locust tree!" Bai Liuli said lazily, and at the same time, a purple fox tail appeared behind him. The fox tail was so big that it seemed to cover the sky. As if covering the sun, the purple fox tail was shining with flames, swept across the huge locust tree, and then disappeared, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Ping stared blankly at this scene, in addition to being shocked, there was also a little longing in his heart, "Why, do you want to learn?" Seeing Jiang Ping's expression, Bai Liuli asked in a seductive tone: "Yeah, I want to!" Nodding, looking impatient.

"But you don't have a tail!" Bai Liuli joked, Jiang Ping's face turned dark, and he was playing with Bai Liuli. Seeing Jiang Ping's face turned dark, Bai Liuli comforted him with a foolish smile: "Actually, I taught you That supernatural power, as long as you practice hard, it will not be worse than the supernatural power I just displayed."

"Okay, the problem here has been solved during the day, and there will be a good show at night!" Bai Liuli looked at the old locust tree in the center of the house and muttered to himself.

Jiang Ping didn't care, he found a place to sit cross-legged at random, and entered the meditative transformation to comprehend the picture of cutting vines. The sword he used when fighting Zhang Keji's spirit is always lingering in his mind. Jiang Ping visualized the picture of cutting vines again, and the old man appeared again, swinging the sword, throwing the sword, retracting the sword, and falling the vines in one go. Jiang Ping clearly saw that the old man passed through a strange symbol while swinging the sword.

Jiang Ping seemed to grasp the point of swinging the sword, and visualized the picture of cutting vines over and over again, trying to find the inspiration for swinging the sword. Waking up in a meditative metamorphosis.

With such a long time of visualization, Jiang Ping has a new understanding of the sword he comprehended. Jiang Ping feels that if he fights Zhang Keji once, with this sword alone, he should be able to kill Zhang Keji directly in the illusion. Zhang Keji's soul.

"Well, it seems that you are refreshed, and you should have gained a lot!" Bai Liuli walked in, still holding a box in her hand, Jiang Ping looked around, the dust had disappeared, and the censer in the room was smoking. Smoking, a faint fragrance filled the room.

"Come on, I just went out and bought some food. I'm full. There's still a tough battle to fight." Bai Liuli opened the box, brought out plates of delicate side dishes, and placed them in front of Jiang Ping: " Well, it smells so good!" Jiang Ping sniffled, enjoying himself.

"Huh? No, what did you buy with the money?" Jiang Ping asked suspiciously, "Well, you have money, so I used it to buy things." Bai Liuli smiled.

Jiang Ping's face changed suddenly, and he touched his empty pockets, Jiang Ping felt his heart was about to break: "Just these dishes cost dozens of taels of gold?" Jiang Ping asked tremblingly, but there was still some Looking forward, looking forward to Bai Liuli giving him some money left over.

"That's right, the food doesn't matter how much it costs, but when I passed by jewelry stores, silk shops, and rouge shops, I bought a few things, so I spent all of them!" Bai Liuli didn't care.

"Kacha!" Jiang Ping seemed to hear his own heartbroken voice. That was worth tens of taels of gold. Not to mention shopping, it was enough to buy a storefront! "Sister Liuli, don't look at the joke, how did you get so many things?" Jiang Ping asked as if dying.

"I have a storage bag!" Bai Liuli took it out from nowhere, and said while eating a bunch of candied haws, Jiang Ping was silent, he actually forgot about this, Jiang Ping took a few mouthfuls of food with a look of frustration, A heartbroken look.

"Okay, I'll give you this. Look at your appearance. If you don't know, you might think I'm bullying you!" Bai Liuli smiled and threw Jiang Ping a dilapidated small bag. Jiang Ping was curious about the bag, and looked up and down: "This I didn't find it from Zhang Yiqi!" Jiang Ping looked resentful.

"Well, yes, this is a poor-quality storage bag, about the size of a small room, and it's just right for you." Bai Liuli explained softly.
