Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 105
"Brother Li, is there really a ghost market?"

"Well, of course, people have a market, and ghosts naturally have a market."

"If Zhu Yu and the others go to the ghost market, they won't be in danger."

"No, this place is not far from Guobei City, and there are city gods and ghosts in the city. They are all scholars with unusual fate. They will not die if they die. I am afraid that they will inevitably lose some yang energy."

On the way, while walking, Wang Ping asked about the ghost market, his head shrank in fright.

"Young master, what you said is right. Those scholars are indeed immortal. I'm afraid they will inevitably be spotted by a few coquettish female ghosts and squeezed out for a night. Those female ghosts like the yang energy of scholars the most. It is better than ten mouths of ordinary people, because the scholar's yang energy is full of literary energy, which is very helpful to ghosts."

After speaking well, a man's voice suddenly appeared.

"Who, who is it?" Wang Ping almost jumped up in fright.

It's already dark now, wouldn't it be scary to hear another voice talking suddenly while walking on the road.

At this time, a lantern approached quickly from the front. It was still far away before, and it approached in a short time. The speed was a bit weird, and only the lantern was seen in the dark night, but the person behind the lantern was not seen. After approaching Only then did the crowd see a man dressed as a guard walking towards him with a knife hanging from his waist.

Li Xiuyuan immediately smelled paper ashes and incense, and immediately understood that it was a ghost.

If there is only paper ashes and no incense, then it is an ordinary ghost.

"Oh, aren't you working under that blue-faced guy? Why are you here?" He recognized the ghost and asked.

When I first looked at Chuanshan, I still remembered that this ghost messenger was bitten off by a hunting dog in the mountain, and he repaired his ghost body with a stick of incense.

The ghost guard smiled and said: "Young master has a good memory, but today I'm not working as an errand, and I happened to be on vacation, so my clothes happened to be torn, so I went to the market ahead to buy a few sets. Are you going to the city, young master? "

"I'm going to the city. I just want to ask you something. Is the city gate closed now?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The ghost messenger said: "It's already closed, but if the young master is going to the city, the old pawn on the night watch has friendship with me, and the young one can ask him to help open the door."

As he spoke, he whispered a few words to the tree shadow next to him, but he couldn't tell what he was saying.

This is a ghost language, of course ordinary people can't understand it.

But after the ghost messenger finished speaking, a figure in the shadow of the tree turned into a cloudy wind and was blown away, and soon disappeared into the distance.

"The young one has asked someone to take the message. I believe that when the young master reaches the city gate, the city gate will already be open." The ghost messenger said.

"You have done me a great favor. I will write this down. I will thank you someday." Li Xiuyuan said.

Gui Chai became a little happy for a while, and said enthusiastically: "I'm afraid it's not good for the young master to walk around at night in a dark light. You hold this lantern, young master, so it can be a little bright, so as not to trip your feet on the road."

Said and handed over the lantern.

Li Xiuyuan nodded, and took it directly without hesitation.

"The little one will take his leave." The ghost officer bowed his hands and bowed, then strode away.

Li Xiuyuan saw him leave, so he carried the lantern and continued on his way.

"Li, brother Li, is that person a human or a ghost? No matter how he walks, there is no sound of footsteps." Wang Ping asked nervously.

Li Xiuyuan said: "You said that he has no footsteps, it must be a ghost, otherwise, it's so late, who would walk on the road alone with a lantern. If you don't believe me, look at the words written on the lantern."

Wang Ping glanced at the lantern, and was so frightened that he almost fainted.

I don't know when the light on the lantern turned into a green will-o'-the-wisp, and the most important thing is that there are two big characters "City God" written on the paper of the lantern.

You must know that the lanterns before were not green ghost fires, and there was no word Chenghuang on them.

Since it is a ghost, then the ghost just said to buy clothes, there is no doubt that there is a ghost market ahead.

Wang Ping's legs were so frightened that he was so unlucky that he could meet monsters when crossing the river and ghosts when walking.

"Let's go." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Li, Brother Li, my legs are shaking and I can't walk anymore," Wang Ping said.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said to the guard: "Do you still have the strength? Recite Wang Ping, but let me tell you, this is not the first time you have encountered a ghost and made such a fuss."

Wang Ping wanted to cry but said without tears: "It's not that I don't fear this thing once I've seen it, but I'm even more afraid the next time I see it. Now I have some admiration for Brother Li. Not only is he not afraid of ghosts and gods, he even dares to chat with ghosts and gods. Dare to take."

"I think ghosts should be afraid of people, and people shouldn't be afraid of ghosts." Li Xiuyuan said: "Stop talking, let's go."

The guard next to him responded and immediately picked up Wang Ping, who couldn't walk.

When he had just walked a few steps, Li Xiuyuan felt Du Chunhua holding his arm tremblingly again, and his whole body trembled in fright.

"Why, are you scared too?" Li Xiuyuan joked.

"En." Du Chunhua replied softly, obviously full of fear.

Fortunately, Du Chunhua was a little bolder than Wang Ping, and was not too scared to walk. After Li Xiuyuan comforted her a few words, she gradually recovered.

After a while, everyone arrived at the gate of the city.

Sure enough, an old soldier had already secretly opened the city gate, waiting for Li Xiuyuan and others to come in.

"The defense in this city is really lax, even an old soldier can open the city gate at night." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

"Is it Mr. Li?" the old soldier asked.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "My lord, Li Xiuyuan, thank you for your convenience, otherwise we will have to spend the night outside the city."

"Hehe, it's okay, it's a trivial matter, Mr. Li, you're being polite." The old soldier was a little flattered and hastily returned a salute.

"This is the ghost messenger's lantern. Just take it, and I will trouble you to return it to the ghost messenger later." Li Xiuyuan returned the lantern and gave him another ten taels of silver.

The old soldier is also a slippery person, he didn't hesitate to touch the money, he took it without any hassle, and then smiled more enthusiastically: "In the future, Mr. Li, if you need help, tell me, there is nothing in this city that I don't know .”

"Definitely, if there is any need for help then I will bother you." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Young Master Li, you are being polite." The old soldier replied.

After some politeness, Li Xiuyuan and others entered the city.

"Our Li family's house in the city hasn't changed, right?" Li Xiuyuan asked a guard next to him on the way.

The guard replied: "There is no change, it is still the same place as before. The master has ordered people to take care of it before, and we will wait for the young master to come to the city to settle down."

"That's good." Li Xiuyuan nodded.

The Li family has property and countless real estate properties. Naturally, this city also has the Li family's property, but it is not as large as Guobei County.

"This time, thanks to Brother Li's suggestion, I was spared the trouble of being entangled by a female ghost again. But it's getting late now, so I won't disturb Brother Li's rest. I'll take my leave first, and I'll invite Brother Li to drink another day." Ping at this moment hand in hand,

"Then I'll see you another day." Li Xiuyuan nodded.

"The friends in front, please stay." Suddenly, when Li Xiuyuan and Wang Ping were about to go back to rest, a voice sounded behind them.

But I saw a Taoist priest in Taoist robes striding over.
