Chapter 217 Paper Buyer (4K)

"Wuguiyi?"

When he heard this name for the first time, Tang Long couldn't help but frown and said, "What is the Five Ghost Clothes?"

"Give me two more of the materials you just brought out, and I can make them for you." The middle-aged woman pointed to the S-class ghost on the table.

"Is it the clothes made by five S-level ghosts?" Tang Long's eyes moved slightly, "Theoretically, this thing should be more powerful than Zhang Youhong's red cheongsam."

"What is the specific use of the Five Ghost Clothes?" he asked again.

"I don't know either." The middle-aged woman waved her hand impatiently, "It's a craft passed down from our ancestors, but no one has customized it yet. Do you want to make it?"

"After all, they are five S-class ghosts that are imprisoned and unable to move. Most people can't take them out at all. Those who can take them out are probably seventh-level ghosts, and they may not be interested in these five ghost clothes."

Tang Long probably understood why no one had ever made an order, but he had just snatched the "goods" from the King's organization, a total of ten S-level ghosts, so he had quite a lot on hand.

"Dong, dong, dong——!"

He simply threw out all the ten ghosts in the bone bracelet: "The materials are all here, you can choose for yourself."

"Guru--!"

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but swallow her saliva. It was difficult to see one of these S-level ghosts on a normal day, but the young man in front of her could actually expel ten of them in one breath?
Who is he? Could it be that some big shot suddenly came to Taiping Ancient Town?

"How about it? Can you do it?" Tang Long looked at the other party.

"Can do."

The middle-aged woman quickly came back to her senses and looked at each ghost with a professional look. She was not afraid of the creepy S-class ghosts. She was as picky as looking at pork, and even slapped each one.

Finally, she picked and selected five S-class ghosts: "These five are more suitable for making clothes than the other five."

Tang Long didn't know what the woman said about making suitable clothes, and it seemed like he couldn't ask about Wu Guiyi's specific abilities. He could only ask: "How long will it take to pick up the goods?"

If he's fast enough, he can wear it to Ghost Lake tonight.

"Seven days, 50 yuan." The middle-aged woman looked like she wanted to slaughter a fat sheep.

"Are you kidding me?" Tang Long almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and asked for 50 yuan. Not to mention that he didn't have it, even if he had money, he couldn't spend it all on it.

Using 50 yuan of ghost money to exchange clothes with 5 S-level ghosts would probably make the Dongtian Emperor call him a prodigal.

"This is the lost Five Ghost Clothes. I am the only one in the entire supernatural world who can make it." The middle-aged woman said confidently, "It's worth the price."

"Okay, okay, you are more profiteer than that old ghost in the coffin shop. Do you really think I don't know how to do it? That shroud is only 17 yuan."

Tang Long snorted coldly: "20 yuan is enough for you to buy a coffin."

"No, 20 yuan is too little." The middle-aged woman shook her head repeatedly, "Even if the business is not doing well, I can't lose money. I'll give you a discount, 47 yuan."

"Your discount is as good as nothing." Tang Long curled his lips: "24, that's all I have, and I'll give you the money to carry the coffin."

"No, no, no one can do business like this." The middle-aged woman still shook her head.

After hearing this, Tang Long picked up the ghost on the table and left without saying a word.

Are you kidding me? This is the era when Party A is the boss. Apart from his own ghost street, there are no customers. Didn’t you see that the paper man next door that costs 9 yuan a piece is selling for 3 yuan?

Seeing that he was really leaving, the middle-aged woman became anxious. If she missed this opportunity, she might not be able to save the money for the coffin in her lifetime.

"Wait!" she gritted her teeth, "30 yuan! Just 30 yuan! This is already my biggest concession!"

Tang Long slowly turned his head: "If it's 30 yuan, it must be delivered before 12 o'clock tonight."

"This..." the middle-aged woman looked embarrassed, "It's okay if I work harder on the sewing, but these materials have to be dismembered and shaped, which takes a lot of time, especially since the butcher next door died a few years ago, so I sewed them myself. No matter how urgent this thing is, it will still take 3 days.”

"Dismemberment, right?"

Tang Long called out Li Qingzhi. The tall body and the hatchet in his hand immediately made the middle-aged woman stare.

"If you have any dismemberment requirements, tell Brother Li. There is no ghost that Brother Li cannot dismember."

The middle-aged woman had a confused expression, obviously not expecting that Tang Long could directly control such a terrifying ghost.

"Are you from the Wang family?" She asked tentatively, then shook her head, "No, I have met the second generation of the Wang family once, and the two old ghosts from the first generation don't look like this."

"You talk too much nonsense, just work hard." Tang Long said in a deep voice.

"Okay!" The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth, "I believe you once!"

Under her command, Li Qingzhi wielded a hatchet and dismembered each of the ghosts.

Tang Long, on the other hand, was recalling what the other party said: "The butcher...the kitchen knife stained with blood. Could it be that the butcher's kitchen knife from the King's Organization also came from this ghost street?"

It's a pity that he couldn't verify this, because both the kitchen knife and the butcher were swallowed by the ghost cupboard.

Soon, the five S-class ghosts were dismembered. This made the middle-aged woman look at Li Qingzhi with fear. If she really had a conflict with Tang Long, if the tall man's corpse was cut down with one knife, it wouldn't be possible for him to have many layers of clothes. Can't bear it.

"Okay, you pay first, and I will start work now." She gritted her teeth, "I will definitely give you the things before 12 o'clock tonight."

"The ghost street will close at six o'clock in the evening. Where can I get the goods?" Tang Long asked.

"The closure of the ghost street does not mean that these shops are closed." The middle-aged woman said solemnly, "But after the ghost street is closed, the ghosts in the shops will come out and wander around the streets, not only on the streets, but also in my shop. It won’t be peaceful.”

"In order to earn money for this coffin, I even risked my life. If you want to get the goods before 12 o'clock, just stay in this store and guard it. I will give it to you as soon as it is finished."

"Use clothes as bait and let me guard the door for you." Tang Long chuckled, "Okay, it's settled."

After saying that, he dropped the 30 yuan of ghost money and walked out.

"Where are you going?" The middle-aged woman suddenly became anxious.

"It's not six o'clock yet, I'm going to buy something else." Tang Long turned around and replied, "Is there anything else?"

"Give me that thing." The middle-aged woman pointed at Li Qingzhi, "I can make the best Five Ghost Clothes for you."

"Brother Li is not material." Tang Long's eyes turned cold.

"It's not that ghost, it's that mirror." The middle-aged woman pointed at the eight-tatami mirror on Li Qingzhi's chest. "Can you sew this thing into clothes?" Tang Long narrowed his eyes.

"Of course, with this thing, I can make you the best Five Ghost Clothes. Do you want it?" The middle-aged woman showed the rogue attitude of a melon stall owner.

"Can this mirror still be used after it is sewn on clothes?" For Tang Long, the most critical ability of the Yata Mirror is to reflect supernatural beings, so that he can avoid being secretly observed without knowing it.

"Not only does it work, it will also be stronger." The middle-aged woman said confidently, "Of course, if you can't suppress it, don't blame me if you die."

"it is good."

Tang Long was very decisive. As the saying goes, if you can't let go of the child, you can't trap the wolf. He wanted to see what the effect of the five ghost clothes costing five S-level ghosts, 30 ghost coins and the national treasure of the small town.

If he felt it was not worth the price, he might rob the tailor shop in front of him before robbing the coffin shop.

Taking off the Yata mirror from Brother Li, Tang Long strode away. He wasted too much time bargaining with this middle-aged woman. He had to go to the paper figurine shop quickly and couldn't care less about wandering around.

After walking briskly on the ghost street for a while, Tang Long quickly found the store because there were two paper figures, one white and one black, one man and one woman, at the door, which was quite eye-catching.

The door of the shop is wide open, quite like a paper man welcoming guests. There are many paper products inside, including paper men, tables, houses, and many other miscellaneous things.

But there was no sedan chair. The sedan chair was in his bone bracelet, but it was certain that the paper sedan chair was probably from here too and had been bought by Chen Qiaoyang.

Striding into the store, Tang Long looked around, and every paper product made his ghost eyes tingle slightly.

"In each of these paper products, there are fierce ghosts."

Tang Long knew that these paper figures were just bound. Once the sky darkened and the ghost street closed, they would turn into nightmares that had not left the living person.

He even knew how to release the supernatural being in the paper man, just by setting it on fire.

Of course, this ignition cannot be done with ordinary fire, but with supernatural fire.

For example, Lao Zhou's will-o'-the-wisp.

"Buy one, it's very cheap, only three yuan." At this moment, a strange hawking voice echoed in my ears, as if there was someone lying on my shoulder, persuading into my ears.

"Have you started soliciting customers?" Tang Long was not afraid at all, but said carelessly, "I plan to buy it, but are there any discounts?"

It's not yet past six o'clock, so the ghost street is relatively safe, and he remembers that when this paper shop was in its lowest state, in order to attract customers, they would buy two and get one free.

"Buy one, it's three yuan a piece." The voice kept echoing, "It's very cheap. It used to be nine yuan."

"I can't even make up the number nine with the money I have now. In other words, it costs ten yuan to buy a paper figurine. You are also a profiteer."

Tang Long was complaining in his heart, but out of the corner of his eye, he had glanced at the black and white paper figures placed outside the shop. Unexpectedly, they stood side by side in the center of the door. The painted faces were stiff and cold, blocking the exit.

"Forcibly bought and sold, right?" Tang Long snorted coldly, took out the remaining ghost money from his hand, and said with a face like a nouveau riche, "I have money, but I won't accept your tricks."

"Originally I wanted to buy something nice, but you want to play hard with me. I'm sorry. If you don't get a discount today, you won't get a penny!"

Not only did he dare to bargain with living people, but he also dared to bargain with ghosts. If he couldn't reach an agreement, he would take action.

The people and ghosts in Taiping Ancient Town, to put it bluntly, deserve a beating. Give them a good look and be polite to them. People think you are easy to bully, and ghosts will treat you as profiteers.

Therefore, when dealing with these guys, Tang Long said the same thing - do it or not, I will do it to you.

As soon as the ghost money came out, the originally cold and dark light in the store seemed to become a little brighter. Although the two paper figures blocking the door were still blocking the way, their faces changed into a flattering smile. Sure enough, even if In the supernatural world, only those who have money are considered bosses.

The voice was choked by Tang Long, and he fell silent for a while. He seemed to be making a decision, and finally said reluctantly: "Buy one, it costs three yuan a piece, buy three and get one free."

"Buy three and get one free... Although the discount is a bit smaller than buying two and get one free, it's still passable."

Tang Long nodded and handed over a three-yuan and a seven-yuan piece of ghost money: "Give me four."

There was no way, he had 17 yuan left, and he couldn't pay nine yuan no matter what, he would just lose a little, so if the other party didn't offer a discount, it was absolutely impossible for Tang Long to make a loss-making transaction.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost money in his hand was immediately taken away by invisible forces. It seemed that the invisible ghost boss was eager to complete the business for fear that he would regret it.

"First of all, I want this." Tang Long took the lead in picking up the paper boat and putting it into the Bone Bracelet, which was a key tool in dealing with Ghost Lake tonight.

"Then, you two." He pointed to the black and white paper man blocking the way at the door, "You just dared to attack me, didn't you? I bought you two, and you will show me the toilet from now on."

The strange sounds in the store suddenly fell silent. It seemed that Tang Long didn't expect that there were so many paper figures lying around, so he chose the two gatekeepers.

"Hehe, just smash it. Brother Zhui, I've read the strategy." Tang Long couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering.

The paper figurines sold in this shop have many uses, such as Chen Qiaoyang's sedan bearers and Boss Liu's servants. However, the only ones who can stand upright are the two gatekeepers, otherwise there would be no need for them. As for the two of them blocking the door every time.

In the original work, Xiao Yang chose these two paper gatekeepers, which caused the shop owner a lot of pain, so it is definitely the black and white paper men that have the highest value.

In Taiping Ancient Town, rules must be followed. Ghost Street is also a part of Taiping Ancient Town, so ghosts are no exception.

Naturally, it can only recognize the preferential rules it has set by itself.

"There's one last thing, right?" Tang Long clasped his hands behind his back, acting like the boss was inspecting. He never did this in front of his employees.

Needless to say, it really worked. A beautiful paper figurine actually moved two steps from the pile of paper figurines and took the initiative to approach Tang Long, as if she was trying to sell herself.

This beautiful paper figurine has big black braids, an oval face, a slender waist, a good figure, and a very delicate face. If she were a living person, she would definitely turn heads.

However, Tang Long walked around the paper man and found that several buttons were broken on its back, as if it had been deliberately scratched by something. There was also red paint on the gap, as if the wound was bleeding.

"Defective product." He couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

As soon as these words came out, the beautiful paper doll actually danced a few times, as if she wanted to express something, but she couldn't speak. In the end, she was so aggrieved that she cried.

"It's you."

In fact, what Tang Long wants is this paper man, because it is the product of a ghost controller who sold half of himself during the Republic of China. It has a certain degree of self-awareness and may be able to provide intelligence.

And her other half...is in the coffin on the ghost ship.
