I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 175
"This place is about four hundred miles away from Luoyang, and the actual location is probably somewhere in Luozhou Prefecture."

The old Taoist took Gu Yao aimlessly on the street, and introduced him the general situation of the ghost market here.

Pedestrians on the road were in a hurry and very busy, like the two of them, there were very few of them.

"The top of the attic just now is actually a teleportation formation. It looks very casual and direct, but every time it is used, it is a huge loss. Only new people like you have the opportunity to experience it once."

"After you leave this time, the next time you want to come here, you will use a flying boat or a bird or beast."

Gu Yao looked curiously at the two small buildings on both sides. They were all identical in appearance, except for the golden palace lanterns hanging on the eaves. The graphics on them seemed to indicate the services provided by each small building.

He looked at the old man: "Old man, why did you bring me here? Just to give me palm eyes?"

The old man shook his head: "I have my business to do, and I need to find someone here, and I will show you by the way. You will always need some rare things in the future, and you will need it here to some extent."

He stopped in front of a small building, motioned Gu Yao to wait at the door, and walked in by himself.

Gu Yao glanced at the palace lantern on the eaves. The picture on it seemed to be a female figure, and he didn't know what it was for sale.

Soon, after a few breaths, the old man came back full of fragrance: "Let's go, I'm done with my work, you can also look around, if there is anything you want to buy, go and buy it."

He stuffed the bowl with black beans into Gu Yao's hand, and motioned Gu Yao to go and look elsewhere by himself, and let him stay here alone.

Glancing at the old Taoist, Gu Yao held a bowl of black beans, wandered around for a while, and walked into a room with a book-shaped tattoo on the palace lantern.

As soon as I stepped into the house and closed the door, I smelled a strong stench.

"It's like the smell of corpses mixed with gouache. It's really disgusting. Could it be that I guessed wrong? The patterns on the palace lanterns are not sold in the house?"

Gu Yao closed his breath and looked at his eyes.

Countless rows of black wooden cabinets cut the house into countless small compartments, and there is a pink spiral staircase on the far right leading to the second floor.

He approached a cabinet and glanced at the books on the wooden shelf: ""Kong Kong Huan", "Flying Swallow Biography", "King of Hailing"."

"Could it be that this is a book appreciation center that is not suitable for children? Single Taoist priests' hobby reading department?"

He casually picked up a book and glanced at it, then put it back immediately.

Well, the pictures and texts are rejected, not suitable for children.

He walked towards the other wooden cabinets, and at the same time called softly: "The shopkeeper? The shopkeeper?"

No one answered his call.

Walking past two wooden cabinets again, the book hangers inside turned into various erotic pictures.

A few steps forward, it's a lot more serious, with all kinds of bizarre dual-cultivation techniques.

From the "Huangdi Neijing" to the "Huanxi Buddha Purdue Sutra" to the "True Explanation of the Dual Cultivation of Xingming" by the Longmen School, most of them only have about three pages to read, and the rest are blank.

"It should be selling books, but why did I smell a bad smell just now?"

Thinking of this, he took another breath and almost passed out.

An incomparably strong stench came out, compared to when he was at the door, as if there was a dead body beside him.

Gu Yao held his breath again and patted his chest.

"I'll go. Could it be that the store owner was killed and it stinks now?"

He frowned, and stepped forward cautiously.

Walking through the cabinets one after another, I finally came to the front counter, and when I saw the person behind the counter, I froze.

The person behind the counter had pale skin and a lot of dirt on his white clothes, as if he had just crawled out of the dirt.

The eyes are rigid, full of whites, only two black dots in the middle staring at Gu Yao motionlessly, her hair is black and white, more than half of it has fallen out, revealing a scalp full of scars, and there are big lice crawling in the scattered hair .

The most frightening thing was her face, under the pale skin there were bulging blue veins, densely covered, her nose looked like it had been eaten by some wild beast, there was a dark hole in the middle of the face, the wound was The meat was already black and rotten, and from time to time, a few maggots were seen turning the black rotten meat, revealing a white and fat body.

Gu Yao's scalp was numb, and he moved his body slowly.

And no matter how he understood, the female corpse was staring at him.

"This is a refined corpse. Could it be that she is still the store owner here?"

Except for the stench, there was no abnormal fluctuation in this corpse. If it was a sneak attack, it would be impossible to guard against. Gu Yao silently cast the Golden Light Curse and watched her slowly retreat.

"It's outrageous. I'm just unlucky. I can find this stuff in any shop, or is it like this in all the houses?"

One step, two steps, three steps, he backed up towards the door for a while, and when he saw that the figure of the female corpse was about to be blocked by the wooden cabinet, a man's figure appeared.

"Chan'er, is there a guest?"

The voice came from behind, and Gu Yao immediately turned around and leaned against the wooden cabinet, looking behind him.

A man in white appeared behind the bookcase, holding two volumes of books in his hands. The white clothes were stained with countless dirt, and his face was also covered in a lot of dust.

His eyes were pitch black with no whites, just the opposite of the female corpse.

Seeing Gu Yao's cautious appearance, he immediately saluted and apologized: "I'm so sorry, honored guest. I was talking to another guest on the second floor just now, and my wife accidentally surprised the guest."

wife?

That female corpse?
Gu Yao's scalp exploded.

The other person also appeared behind the man at this moment, with a thin figure and a goatee. He looked like a teacher who taught, holding a volume of books in his hand.

He whispered something to the man in white, then turned and left immediately.

Just as Gu Yao was about to leave, he saw the female corpse approaching, hugged by the man in white, and patted her shoulder, as if to comfort her.

"Guest officer, my wife was also frightened by you. She said that you didn't have any breath fluctuations. She didn't notice it at first, but when she felt it, she had already appeared in front of her eyes, so she was a little nervous."

Gu Yao remembered that the female corpse had been staring at her, so she was also afraid.
But seeing the intimate actions of the man and the female corpse, he still couldn't accept it, so he hastily refused, stared at them and backed away.

After leaving the house, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the door was closed again and the couple stayed in the house.

"It's... too bad."

After getting away from here, he let go of his breath and took a long breath of fresh air.

"The body smells like corpses, it's creepy."

Thinking of the terrifying appearance of the female corpse, and the intimacy between the man and the woman afterwards, he shuddered subconsciously.

"I don't dare to go into this other room now, it's too scary, in case I see another one."

When he was a little dazed, the door of the opposite room opened, and a familiar woman appeared from inside.

"Princess Changle!"

No, it should be the shadow of Princess Changle, the woman who attacked him.

She was still wearing a blue robe, standing in front of the door, reaching out to greet Gu Yao.

After hesitating for a while, Gu Yao walked over.

"Fellow Daoist, come in and sit down, this is my shop."

Seeing Gu Yao approaching, she turned and walked into the house.

Gu Yao glanced at the palace lantern, the pattern on it was a skull, and he didn't know what it meant.

"Fellow Daoist, please come in and sit down. In the ghost city, there are patrolling guards guarding you. Don't do anything. Please rest assured."

The woman's voice came from the room, and Gu Yao walked in.

The room is very simple, the light is dim, and there are various weapons on the walls on both sides.

That woman was sitting behind a plain wooden table, with one foot on the stool, like the leader of a local rogue, who only had a grass in her mouth.

Seeing Gu Yao coming in, she motioned for Gu Yao to sit on the stool opposite.

"The smell on fellow daoist, did you go to the book shop opposite?"

Gu Yao nodded: "Indeed, who is the person in the book shop?"

The blue-robed woman briefly introduced: "That is Ye Mao. The female corpse was a mortal. She died violently shortly after marrying him. That Ye Mao loved her to the bone and studied the art of refining corpses to bring her back to life."

"But what does it look like?"

Refining corpses can repair corpses, but the appearance of the female corpse
Could it be that he has any special hobbies?

"He was studying on his own without any inheritance, so his progress was extremely slow. After being recruited by the royal family, he has been living here, selling books while continuing to study, and at the same time doing experiments on himself, although both of them are ugly. , but they are husband and wife, they are very nice and friendly, much better than others.”

Thinking of the man's appearance, Gu Yao understood a little bit.

He nodded and looked at the woman: "Then what are you doing here?"

The woman in the blue robe put her legs down and put her hands on the table: "Kill."

She looked straight at Gu Yao: "Killing people is my only pleasure, do you want to place an order?"
