Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 21 Ghost Market Treasure Ship
"Is the ghost market here?"

By the quiet river, the moonlight shines on the water, creating silvery white ripples.

The river flows quietly, with silvery white waves under the moonlight.

Occasionally, a few small fish jump out of the water, jump in the air for a while and then return to the water.

Looking at the calm river in front of him, Qi Xiu looked suspiciously at the loyal man Peng Chong beside him.

"Don't worry, I'll be here in a minute."

Squatting on the grass, Peng Chong picked up a straw and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes rolling around.

When we got on the boat and entered the ghost market, I immediately revealed his identity and took advantage of the chaos to escape. Even if he was very skilled, he would not have been able to catch up with me with so many people blocking him.

Hey, although this kid is very powerful in martial arts.

But my brain doesn't seem to be very bright.

He dared to go to the ghost market even though he knew he was being offered a bonus.

Die you.

He vaguely turned his head and glanced at Qi Xiu, who was looking at the river. Peng Chong's eyes were sinister, and his stomach was full of bad water.

After being caught by Qi Xiu.

He tried to escape several times.

But who would have thought that this scholar's palm skills are fierce, and his body skills are equally impressive.

I have been practicing Qinggong for 13 years, but I can't even run ten steps in front of him.

When he escaped, he was caught and beaten again.

Fortunately, the scholar didn't know what to think and insisted on visiting the ghost market, which gave him a new chance.

I stood by the river and felt the cold wind blowing for two quarters of an hour.

Seeing Qi Xiu's eyes becoming more and more unkind, Peng Chong hurriedly stood up and pointed to a slowly approaching treasure ship in the distance.

"I'm coming."

Afraid of being slapped again, Peng Chong took out a bone whistle from his arms and blew it hard.

-

A high-pitched whistle sounded.

Um?The sound produced by this bone whistle actually exceeds the frequency of human hearing.

This ghost market is indeed mysterious. Can such a thing be invented?
Seeing the bone whistle in Peng Chong's hand that was blowing vigorously but without making any sound, Qi Xiu became more and more curious about this ghost market.

A whistle sounded that was inaudible to humans.

On the bow of the ship, which was completely black, like a treasure ship sailing out of the black abyss, a bird with gray eyes suddenly tilted its head.

"Haw, chirp!"

Two birds chirped at the bow of the ship.

The dark treasure ship traveling in the middle of the river suddenly deflected its course and slowly moved towards Qi Xiu and the other two.

“In the ghost market, the real face is nowhere to be seen.

Anyone entering the ghost market must cover their faces, and both buyers and sellers are protected. "

Peng Chong took out a colorful mask and handed it to Qi Xiu.

"No need, I have it myself."

Putting the pale and worn-out Baimian mask on his cheek, Qi Xiu watched quietly as Gui Shibao gradually came closer.

The treasure ship came, ten steps away from the river bank, and slowed down.

This ship is really not small.

As the Ghost Market treasure ship approached, Qi Xiu realized that the treasure ship was quite large.

The hull is nearly [-] meters long, with four floors, five masts and eight sails.

Almost comparable to a medium warship.

"go!"

With a soft drink, Qi Xiu and Peng Chong took a step at the same time, turning into light bodies and rushing towards the treasure ship.

Among the three secret books I got before.

Except for the book "The Method of Observing the Sun and Strengthening the God", progress was slow due to the harsh conditions for practice.

Black Sand Palm has broken through the first level and is steadily climbing towards the second level.

Yan Zifei's proficiency has also increased to 90%.

Although he has not yet broken through to the first level, it has greatly enhanced Qi Xiu's flexibility, and he can move around like a sparrow flying in the sky.

It is not difficult to run with all your strength and take ten steps with one breath.

Successfully boarded the ghost market treasure ship.

Peng Chong took the lead and walked along the side passage to the stern of the ship.

"This place is a ghost market."

In front of a door covered in vermilion with nine huge gold and copper coins embedded in the left and right door panels, Peng Chong slowly opened the door.

As soon as the door panel opens.

A warm fragrance of jade rushes towards your face, making your heart beat slightly faster.

This is……

Looking in through the door, Qi Xiu's eyes changed, revealing a bit of shock.I only saw the inside of this cabin.

Impressively, a huge and prosperous market was built.

The streets and alleys were crowded with people.

They wore colorful and different styles of clothing, with strange masks on their faces, and bursts of unusual laughter.

The center of the market is filled with stalls, each of which exudes a charming and eerie atmosphere.

The old stall owner is squatting behind the stall, waiting quietly for customers to come.

The weird and lively market gives people an indescribable sense of prosperity.

It's awe-inspiring.

But there is a faint longing that cannot be suppressed.

"Take me to the place where you receive the bonus reward." Qi Xiu calmed down slightly and put his right hand on Peng Chong's shoulder.

The slight exertion, which could crush bones with his bare hands, made Peng Chong's face turn green.

Brat!
I don’t know that you are already on the verge of death.

Cursing in his heart, Peng Chong managed a smile:
"No problem, Honghua Building is not far from here, we can just walk."

"Is this ghost market's boat just floating on the river like this?"

On the way, Qi Xiu curiously looked at the stalls and shops around him.

"Well, the ship we are on is a T-shaped ghost market, which is responsible for touring Huangtan, Yuantong, and Jiayi Prefectures.

Tours take place every three days.

There will be other treasure ship parades in other prefectures in the Yunnan and Sichuan provinces. "Peng Chong explained.

"By the way, is that bone whistle you just blew a pass to enter the ghost market?"

"No, the ghost market is open to all kinds of rivers, and anyone can come.

That bone whistle is just for the Ghost Market Treasure Ship to determine your location. It costs ten taels of silver each.

There are dedicated personnel patrolling both sides of the treasure ship. If you don't mind the trouble, you can wave a big flag or light a fire. If the watchman on the ship sees you, he will come over to pick you up. "

The two of them were walking and talking, and suddenly they passed by a building with a pink door plaque.

This building is very high, about eight or nine floors.

The side facing the street is full of windows, and figures leaning against the windows have charming eyes and seductive lips.

Some are fair-skinned and beautiful, some have huge breasts, some are tall and mature, and some have big butts...

The various beauties attracted a large number of people in front of this building.

The sounds of laughter and chatting came and went.

"This is the Happy Hall. It has everything. Even Longyang is good enough to satisfy you.

But the little hooves here are masters of extremely deep skills.

I don't have any real skills, I'll suck you dry in minutes.

How about giving it a try? "

Noticing the change in Qi Xiu's eyes, Peng Chong smiled and raised his eyebrows.

"Hmph, the sound of Mi Mi is a place of glory, and Qi is a scholar."

With a cold look on his face, Qi Xiu puffed his sleeves and hummed, and continued to move forward:
"Another day."

"..."

……

Red Flower Building.

There is a bustling entrance to an ancient building with three floors, with people coming in and out.

"Do you know how to cancel the reward?" Qi Xiu frowned as he stood at the entrance of Honghua Building and looked at the people who were constantly coming in and out.

Qian Yuchuan's bonus reward made him a target of public criticism.

Peng Chong's martial arts were low, and he just happened to be lucky enough to find him.

But as long as the bonus reward is still there.

There will be people coming one after another, and it is impossible for him to sleep with all kinds of faces on his face.

Coupled with the current chaos and strife outside.

A rebel cult rages.

Baohe County is a rare peaceful place, and he doesn't want to leave rashly in a short time.

In this way, he wanted to live a peaceful life and simply improve his skills. The easiest way was to remove the bonus bounty.

"Unless the person who offers the reward cancels it himself, there is nothing we can do." Peng Chong shook his head.

"Oh no, there is another way."

"what way?"

"When the person who put the reward dies, the bonus will be automatically canceled because no one will pay the balance."

"The person with the reward is dead?"

Staring at the plaque of Honghua Tower with squinted eyes, Qi Xiu touched his nose, his eyes becoming a little penetrating.
