And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 215: It’s snowing in the human world!

I don’t know how this monkey demon’s monkey wine was brewed.

Even ghosts can drink it.

After drinking in Shilipu, He Jiuzhang and Niu Bingjian had become familiar with each other. One person, one ghost, one brother Niu, and one brother He, they were just shy of being familiar with each other.

For the first time, Chen Yuan realized how terrible a person's communication skills really are.

And this wine can also have an effect on ghosts, making them drunk.

Out of curiosity, Chen Yuan asked the old monkey demon sitting at the counter: "Shopkeeper, why does your wine make even ghosts drunk after drinking it?"

The old monkey demon looked at Chen Yuan and asked him, and explained with a smile: "The Taoist priest doesn't know something. The wine of Lao Hou'er was originally the monkey wine brewed by the monkeys. Later, the old monkey improved it himself, adding Hanyin grass, Several ingredients such as Netherworld Flower allow ghosts to drink it, and they also have an effect on ghosts."

Chen Yuan said: "That's it."

After He Jiuzhang and Niu Bingjian were almost drunk, they decided to go together and leave this ghost market.

It just so happened that it was getting dark at this time, and the ghost market was about to close.

When Chen Yuan, Niu Bingjian, and He Jiuzhang walked out of Shilipu, some ghosts who were eyeing He Jiuzhang had already left because they couldn't wait and were afraid of Chen Yuan.

But there are also some ghosts who are still very stubborn, staring at He Jiuzhang from a distance, with no intention of giving up on He Jiuzhang.

Chen Yuan saw several ghosts hiding around, looking at He Jiuzhang with covetous eyes, so he stood at the door of Shilipu and said:

"Master He, please treat Pindao to a drink. Pindao will help you solve your trouble!"

After saying that, Chen Yuan made a sword move with his right hand, and the rusty sword flew out from the sword box, turning into a dazzling sword light and passing through the seven or eight ghosts around him who were staring at He Jiuzhang, although these ghosts all had some resentment in them. Qi is not an ordinary ghost.

But after the rusty sword passed through, he was still stabbed to death.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight ghosts that were eyeing He Jiuzhang were solved by Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan thought again, and the rusty sword that flew out in an arc and killed seven or eight ghosts flew back again and landed accurately in the sword box behind Chen Yuan.

"This……"

In the surrounding streets, the expressions of the ghosts who saw this scene suddenly changed. The shocked ghosts were unable to recover.

At this moment, they were extremely frightened and grateful. Fortunately, they did not covet the scholar. Otherwise, it would not be worth it if a scholar offended a Taoist with terrifying power and lost his life.

The ghost is already dead. If he dies again, his soul will be completely gone. No ghost is willing to take such a risk.

"Taoist Priest, you are indeed an expert!"

Seeing this scene, He Jiuzhang seemed not surprised. He praised Chen Yuandao.

"Just now when we were selling goods in the ghost market, we heard that there was an expert who saved hundreds of ghosts at one time. It seems that this expert is talking about the Taoist priest."

Niu Bingjian was also sighing beside him.

"Let's go, it's almost dawn and the market will close soon."

Chen Yuan did not answer He Jiuzhang and Niu Bingjian, but after doing all this, as if he had done an insignificant thing, he took the reins of the gray donkey and walked out of the city.

Looking at Chen Yuan's back leading the donkey away, He Jiuzhang and Niu Bingjian supported each other and followed Chen Yuan's steps one after another.

Compared to the lively ghost market when they came, as the ghost market is about to close, the streets have become deserted.

Many shops have even closed early. The small vendors who had just occupied both sides of the street at the city gate and had no space at all have also closed their stalls. There is no one here.

As soon as Chen Yuan and the others walked out of the ghost market, the world fell into the final darkness before dawn. All the stars and moonlight in the night sky above their heads disappeared, leaving only the darkness that could not be seen.

Chen Yuan and the others did not leave, but stood on a hill not far from the ghost market, one mile away, looking down at the ghost market that had completely turned into a mass of darkness and gradually disappeared.

Although it was pitch black between heaven and earth and he could not see his fingers, Chen Yuan's cultivation was enough for him to see in the darkness.

Under the gaze of Chen Yuan and others, the entire ghost market gradually disappeared like a drop of water seeping into the gravel.

After disappearing, there were originally some traces left, similar to shadows, but soon even these traces were erased.

As the first ray of light appeared between heaven and earth, golden light illuminated the horizon. The valley under my feet had completely returned to normal. It was filled with various trees and thorns...

As far as the eye can see, there is wilderness.

There are no houses or buildings at all, let alone a city.

Everything I experienced last night was like a dream.

"Business Manager Niu, you were fine the last time we met. Unexpectedly, when we meet again, we will be completely separated from each other!"

Chen Yuan turned around and said to Niu Bingjian, whose figure was gradually becoming transparent.

Not only him, but also the carriage cargo and the men behind Niu Bingjian were all becoming transparent.

Now that it's dawn and the night has passed, it's time for a showdown.

"Taoist Priest, I didn't expect that we would lose our lives when we went to Shouzhou Mansion."

Niu Bingjian also seemed to know that the fact that they were ghosts could not be hidden from Chen Yuan. He looked calm and had a wry smile between his brows.

"At the hands of whom did you die?"

"You can tell Pindao that if it is a monster or ghost, when you go to Shouzhou Mansion in the future, I will definitely help you get rid of this monster and avenge you."

Chen Yuan asked Niu Bingjian.

"It's okay to tell the Taoist priest. Not only did Shouzhou Prefecture suffer a flood this time, but a very powerful Wutong Demon also appeared there. This Wutong Demon is extremely powerful. It not only goes around raping people's wives and daughters, but also kills and absorbs people. The energy increases the strength. It was very unfortunate that we went to Shouzhou Mansion and happened to encounter this Wutong Demon and died in the hands of the Wutong Demon."

"With the Taoist Master's magical method, it is easy to get rid of this five-power demon."

"If the Taoist Master passes by Shouzhou Prefecture in the future, just get rid of this Wutong Demon. We don't ask the Taoist Priest to avenge us. We just want the people of Shouzhou Prefecture to no longer be wreaked and harmed by the Wutong Demon."

Niu Bingjian looked at Chen Yuan and saluted Chen Yuan solemnly.

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Niu. If I pass by Shouzhou Mansion in the future, I will definitely get rid of this Wutong Demon."

Chen Yuan agreed and came down.

Chen Yuan remembered that there were records about "demons" in "The Travels of Wujiao Zhenren" that he had read in the past.

Compared with demons, no matter how ferocious they are, they appear harmless in front of "devils".

Because the devil cannot be killed!
Every time a demon appears in the world, it is a catastrophe for the world.

The casualties among the people were no less than that of a large-scale war.

But ordinary practitioners in the human world are no match for "demons" in the same realm.

Moreover, "devils" all have special abilities that allow them to grow rapidly. Every time even the most ordinary "devil" appears, it will cause a bloody storm in the world.

"With the Taoist priest's guarantee, I'll be relieved."

Niu Bingjian nodded.

"Shopkeeper Niu, I still have something unclear. I don't understand why you took me to that ghost market?"

Chen Yuan asked curiously.

"Does the Taoist really not understand?"

Niu Bingjian smiled.

"This is all thanks to the Taoist Priest's compassionate heart. My purpose of taking the Taoist Priest to the ghost market was achieved very easily!"

Niu Bingjian had a smile on his lips.

"Shopkeeper Niu, are you talking about Pindao's mission to save the ghosts of the people affected by the disaster?"

Chen Yuan's heart moved and he said to Niu Bingjian.

"Yes, Taoist Priest is merciful. Those victims have already suffered from the flood, and the world has been very unfair to them."

"I couldn't bear to see them continue to suffer after death. I happened to meet the Taoist priest on the way to the ghost market, so I thought of taking the Taoist priest to the ghost market. With the Taoist priest's compassionate heart, once he met them, I will definitely save them."

"The facts are indeed as I expected. Please don't blame me for making arbitrary opinions, Taoist priest." Niu Bingjian apologized to Chen Yuan.

"I don't blame you for this."

Chen Yuan shook his head and said.

In fact, Niu Bingjian guessed correctly, Chen Yuan did not want to see the people suffer.

"Taoist Priest, the sun rises and the yin wanes. Night passes and day comes. We must leave. Now that yin and yang are separated, I hope we still have a chance to meet again..."

Amid the conversation with Chen Yuan, as the golden crow rose in the distance and lit up the entire world, Niu Bingjian's figure disappeared together with his caravan.

"He's gone, Mr. He, it's time for us to leave here."

Chen Yuan turned around and said to He Jiuzhang, who was standing aside just now and quietly watching his conversation with Niu Bingjian.

"The Taoist priest is willing to be friends with ghosts. It seems that he is the same as me. No wonder the Taoist priest and I have hit it off."

After He Jiuzhang waited for Niu Bingjian to leave, he said to Chen Yuan.

"This Niu Shopkeeper is an old friend of Pindao. We walked together last time we met. Unexpectedly, when we meet again, we will be separated from each other."

While Chen Yuan shook his head, he only felt that things in the world are impermanent.

"Nowadays, the officials of the imperial court are ignorant and corrupt, your majesty is hiding in the harem to practice cultivation, the power of the imperial court is controlled by the prime minister, natural and man-made disasters are constant in various places, monsters appear frequently, and people everywhere are in dire straits. It is already a luxury hope for ordinary people to survive."

He Jiuzhang sighed.

Chen Yuan looked at the wisps of hazy mist rising from the mountains in the early morning. He said nothing. His heart was heavy and his thoughts were complicated.

Because the world is difficult, but the people have to bear it.

But what did the people do wrong?

"Mr. He, do you know where this disappeared ghost market went?"

Chen Yuan changed the topic and asked He Jiuzhang.

"I don't know this."

He Jiuzhang shook his head.

"However, the old man surnamed Huang seemed to have told me that this ghost market is a place where life and death meet. Every time the ghost market closes, you must come out on time."

"Otherwise, if people stay in the ghost market, they will disappear with the ghost market, and the ghosts left in the ghost market will not matter. The living people will directly become dead people."

Amidst the conversation between Chen Yuan and He Jiuzhang, a scholar and a Taoist priest were looking for a path in the mountains and walking towards the official road.

Behind them were Xue Niang and Xiao Huang, who had not completely sobered up after drinking the monkey wine and were walking a little unsteadily, falling down from time to time.

They followed the path they came on and quickly walked out of the forest and onto the official road.

……

"Taoist Master, you helped me once. This time I was targeted by so many ghosts. If it weren't for your help, I might not have been able to escape from the ghost market. How about you follow me home? I will definitely entertain you well.”

At a fork in the road, He Jiuzhang invited Chen Yuan.

"That's not necessary."

Chen Yuan shook his head and refused.

According to He Jiuzhang, if you walk ten miles to the right of this fork in the road, you will reach the village where his family lives.

But when Chen Yuan went to Shangluo Mansion, he had to take the fork on the left.

"Okay, I'll take my leave first. The Taoist priest is going to Shangluo Mansion. I'm here to wish the Taoist priest a smooth journey."

He Jiuzhang bid farewell to Chen Yuan.

"Farewell."

Chen Yuan cupped his hands.

"and many more."

He Jiuzhang was about to leave, but was stopped by Chen Yuan again.

"Pindao, there is a ghost-suppressing talisman here for you. If you wear this talisman close to your body, let alone ordinary ghosts, even the evil spirits of evil ghosts will never be able to hurt you. Even if you encounter the ghost king, it can buy you some time."

Chen Yuan took out a yellow talisman and handed it to He Jiuzhang.

"This is a good thing. I am good friends with the Taoist priest, so you are welcome."

He Jiuzhang did not refuse, and very generously accepted the ghost-suppressing charm presented by Chen Yuan.

"However, the ghost market is too dangerous after all. If we don't have the Taoist priest to help me this time, it really won't be so easy for me to escape unscathed."

"So even with this spiritual talisman presented by the Taoist Master, I don't plan to go to that ghost market again."

"Everyone who goes to that ghost market is a monster. I'm just an ordinary person. I was fine a few times before. That's just because I'm lucky."

"But my luck will not stay this good forever."

"Going in and out of the ghost market is like a big gamble. If you are not careful, you will lose everything."

"Anyway, the money I made before is enough for me to spend half a lifetime."

Then He Jiuzhang said to Chen Yuan again.

He Jiuzhang's words made Chen Yuan look at He Jiuzhang with admiration.

Because taking risks is addictive, as He Jiuzhang said, for him, although the benefits of entering and exiting the ghost market are huge, it is still a big gamble. Once the gamble loses, there will be nothing.

Chen Yuan admired this character who could retreat in time before huge interests.

"Take care of yourself."

"Take care of yourself."

No matter what He Jiuzhang planned, what Chen Yuan should do has been done.

Chen Yuan had no intention of staying here for a long time. He rode on the gray donkey and disappeared at the end of the road with Xue Niang riding Xiao Huang following.

"He is really a master in the world."

Looking at Chen Yuan's leaving figure, He Jiuzhang sighed.

……

"It's a pity that I didn't see the golden-armored divine general. Let's see what the golden-armored divine general is!"

After saying goodbye to He Jiuzhang, Chen Yuan rode a gray donkey on the official road, he said with some regret.

He had heard the news about the golden-armored general from the discussions of those demons and ghosts. According to Chen Yuan's speculation, this golden-armored general was very likely to be the key to the formation of this ghost market.

As for whether this golden armored general is a god or something else, you have to see it before you know.

Unfortunately, this time, he did not see the golden armored god appear.

"We are now in Luzhou Prefecture. Unfortunately, it is a bit far from Pingliang County. Otherwise, we could go back to our hometown and visit my brother and sister-in-law."

Chen Yuan secretly said in his heart.

The further north you go, the colder it gets.

After traveling north for a few days, Chen Yuan, who was riding a donkey and walking on the official road, felt a slight chill on his face.

He looked up and saw a few snowflakes as white as goose feathers falling from the sky under the biting and icy cold.

world!

Snowing!
