I open an adventure house in the mysterious world of recovery.

Luo Wensong counted the number of coffins and waved his hand: "Continue."

"continue?"

Except for Tang Long, everyone else looked at Luo Wensong with surprise. After all, he is also a merchant in Taiping Ancient Town. The boss himself has long since turned into a ghost. If you rob once and come back a second time, you are not afraid of the other party rushing out and following you. Are you risking your life?
  "He can't get out." Seemingly seeing through what everyone was thinking, Luo Wensong sneered, "These bosses in the ghost street are obediently guarding their stalls, and they can still retain the last trace of consciousness and hope of recovery, but if If they dare to leave their shop, their last traces of consciousness will be eroded by the evil ghosts, and they will be completely revived, and there will be no possibility of returning to the world."

"Return to Yang?"

This is the benefit of reviving Luo Wensong's consciousness. Old guys who have personally experienced that era must know most of the information about the Republic of China. Now Luo Wensong is not only a terrifying combat power at the level of the seventh elder, but also an encyclopedia.

"Alas, how come today's young people don't know as much about the supernatural world as a dog did in our time." Although Lao Luo had a bad mouth, he dusted off his gown and sat on a coffin. It seemed that he was planning to have a history lesson. classroom.

In a sense, he is very similar to He Yin'er, he is a tsundere.

"If the dog you are talking about refers to Guimeng, we may not be able to compare." Tang Long complained silently in his heart and listened with his ears straightened up.

"The big shopkeeper of Taiping Ancient Town is really nothing to say." When talking about the ghost salesman, even Luo Wensong, who rarely praises others, couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Even the eldest brother is full of praise for him. "

The eldest brother in his mouth was naturally Zhang Dong, which meant that when the ghost trader was alive, he was a being who was admired by Emperor Dong Tian.

"When the supernatural world was just reviving and ghosts appeared frequently, the ghost controllers of that era were as panicked and confused as you are today."

Luo Wensong fell into memories. It was during this period that the ancient town of Taiping was established. The person who took the lead was the big shopkeeper. No one knew his name. He only knew that even the most unruly ghost master would see him. You must also be respectful and respectful, saying "big shopkeeper".

"Because, at that time, the Taiping Ancient Town helped all the ghost controllers to suppress the resurrection of the ghosts for free, and helped them make the ghosts into supernatural items."

This alone made everyone stand in awe. Almost all the captains present had experienced horrific supernatural phenomena that could not be replicated, and that was how they got to where they are today. It was also because of this that they knew they could provide free help to the ghost masters. What kind of people exist.

First of all, the person's own supernatural power must be very strong, to the point of exaggeration. Secondly, this person's heart is extremely clear, almost like a saint.

"There were three founders of Taiping Ancient Town at that time. The first one was naturally the shopkeeper. The second one was Zhang Chongqing, the boss of Dahong Chinese Medicine Store and the father of that old guy Zhang Bohua. The third one was an old man who carved tombstones and spoke in a weird way. Guy, Cai Yuanchang."

"With the three of them as the foundation, many ghost controllers were attracted to join in, and a ghost street was established. During the most prosperous period, you could buy almost everything a ghost controller needs in the ghost street."

"Later, a long, long time passed. The big shopkeeper was not able to see the day when the supernatural power ended. He and Zhang Chongqing were too old, as old as Zhang Bohua a few months ago."

"In order to pass on this inheritance, the big shopkeeper united all the merchants to open a bank, buried the eldest brother's biological mother, created a ghost lake, and appointed his most loyal followers as spiritual summoners to guard the lake. , creating a different kind of cycle between ghost money and ghost lake, used to suppress evil ghosts, but no one knows that the real role of ghost money is far from that. "

He glanced at everyone: "Do you know why ghost money is so precious? If it is just given to evil ghosts to save lives, there are many supernatural items that can do the same. Why can these ghost money buy almost all supernatural items? "

This question touched on a key point. Tang Long had already had doubts in his mind. Whether it was Taiping Ancient Town or Baishui Town, it seemed that all merchants were particularly fond of ghost money, but no one knew what they would use the ghost money for. Know.

People in other shops can also say that they buy a coffin after death, so where will the ghost money for the coffin nails be used? The owners of those shops or stalls are obviously dead, so why can they still keep the shops open normally? Are they ghosts or humans? If they are ghosts with human consciousness, then this group of aliens should have completely suppressed the supernatural era by coming out together.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Luo Wensong spoke slowly: "All supernatural items are ghosts, and ghost money is no exception. It can have such a huge amount because a ghost was dismembered in an exaggerated way and turned into a ghost." The small pieces look like small pieces, and then they are typed and printed with other supernatural powers, and then they become ghost money.”

"The reason why the bank closed down in the end is because even though the ghost's body can become infinite through supernatural power, its overall supernatural power remains unchanged. It can only dismember so much, so the final amount of ghost money remains unchanged. , there is only so much, and after the money is printed, the bank will naturally close down."

"So that's it." Tang Long now understood the reason why the bank collapsed and the ghost money was getting less and less.

The total amount is fixed, and from time to time, ghost money flows to the ghosts, or sinks into the ghost lake, and of course it becomes less and less. "The evil ghost who was made into ghost money may not be very scary, but it can definitely arouse people's greed." At this time, He Yin'er also spoke. After all, she grew up in Taiping Ancient Town and has a deep understanding of this place. understanding.

"That's right, that ghost is called..." Luo Wensong's expression became intriguing, "living ghost."

"A living ghost?" Everyone had never heard of such a live ghost, and they couldn't help but be intrigued.

"Living ghosts, as the name suggests, ghosts that make people live." Luo Wensong said lightly, "Have you ever been to the Road of the Dead in Baishui Town? You can see dead souls there. If you can bring them out, the dead will be resurrected."

The others were suddenly horrified. They didn't expect that there was such a place in the world. Only Tang Long nodded slightly:

"I've heard of some."

"The supernatural power of the Road of the Dead is caused by half of the living ghosts being imprisoned." Luo Wensong continued, "This is one of the abilities of the living ghosts, which is to resurrect the dead."

"Half of the ability." Tang Long's eyes moved, "The other half of the ability, or in other words, the half of the living ghosts printed as ghost money, should be able to make living people live forever."

"Yes, that's the case, and it still allows living people to retain all their memories, consciousness and even emotions for eternity, which is completely different from the alien state where they lose their emotions and become closer to ghosts."

Luo Wensong chuckled and said: "I have to say that this ghost is really smart, and it has fully controlled the greed and desire of human nature."

"Can you actually resist such a temptation? At least give it a try." Tang Long frowned, "Not to mention anything else, if any one of the seven of you can control this half-living ghost, let alone By ending the entire supernatural era, we can at least protect a long period of stability, waiting for Chen Ge to return."

"You are right, the problem also lies with Chen Ge." Luo Wensong said with a smile, "I just said that this ghost is very smart, it is not an ordinary ghost, but Chen Ge's biggest enemy, cursing the hospital Dean."

"Good guy, it turns out that guy is waiting here." Tang Long was shocked.

"That's why it can easily control the greed and evil in people's hearts, but it's a pity that it met us." Luo Wensong raised his head proudly, "As for the conditions offered by the living ghost, whether it is eternal life or resurrecting dead relatives, There is temptation, but it is definitely not enough to sway the seven of us, and the same is naturally true for the big shopkeeper."

But he is well aware of the evil in people's hearts, and is worried that after his death, the merchants in the ancient town will be unrestrained, leave the ghost streets, and even dominate the outside world. Therefore... the big shopkeeper chose to take advantage of this.

"He built a bank, printed ghost money, and bluntly told all merchants the origin of ghost money. If he could get all the ghost money, he would have the opportunity to control living ghosts and gain eternal life!"

"At the same time, before his death, he also used the characteristics of living ghosts to create a batch of curse contracts, telling the merchants that it doesn't matter even if their lifespan is exhausted, they can transform into ghosts with partial consciousness, and their own shops Become one and continue to do business in the shop. Sooner or later, you can save all the ghost money and return to the sun again."

Speaking of this, Luo Wensong couldn't help laughing: "Those shop owners are all outstanding in strength, unruly, and ambitious. They want to control Taiping Ancient Town, or take advantage of the troubled times to become kings and dominate, but in the end they are all defeated by the big shopkeepers. I am bound to this ghost street with a paper curse and will never be able to leave!"

"Of course, there are also people who are rational and not greedy. That's why there are many closed or even closed shops in this ghost street today. Those guys who turned into ghosts to guard the shops are all cursed by greed for eternal life, even after death. No rest, I can only guard the shop here according to the rules in the contract, so now even if I rob the entire coffin shop, the old profiteer will not be able to get out of the shop."

"The big shopkeeper himself also used this curse to retain a small part of his consciousness, but closed the bank. Instead, he left Taiping Ancient Town and traveled around, turning into a ghost salesman looking for the heir."

Luo Wensong's words unfolded the history of Taiping Ancient Town and the Ghost Merchant in front of everyone. The burden that Cao Yang wanted to inherit came from a senior who was not inferior to the Seven Elders in terms of strength and personality.

"In that case..."

After finally putting the encyclopedia by his side, Tang Long simply asked another question he had: "Who is the old man imprisoned in the wooden house in Baishui Town?" (End of Chapter)
