Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 129 Ghost Gold.

"Is this a ghost city?"

After leaving the city, at night, Li Xiuyuan brought his guards to a wilderness.

Looking up to the front, there are ghostly lights in front of you, and there are many ghosts in the forest and vegetation. Although there are some simple buildings and furnishings, they all reveal eerie and horror everywhere. If a timid person stays here for a night If you don't, you will definitely be scared to death, or you will go crazy if you don't die.

But this should be the real appearance of the ghost market, and only he can see it. If ordinary people come in, they must see a different scene.

"Young master, is this a ghost market? It looks exactly like an ordinary market." The guard next to him looked around curiously.

In his eyes, there are no will-o'-the-wisps or ghost shadows here, only the colorful and lively night market.

Li Xiuyuan said: "This is indeed a ghost market, but you can't see through it. After going to the ghost market with me, be careful, don't accidentally be confused by ghosts."

"Yes, Eldest Young Master." The two guards responded, and immediately raised their vigilance.

Li Xiuyuan nodded, before striding towards the ghost market.

I came this time to take away a few scholars who had been with Zhu Yu and others before.

Although Zhu Yu had escaped from the entanglement of ghosts, the other scholars had not.

But Li Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing when he thought of Zhu Yu and a male ghost who had been in love for five or six days. Zhu Yu was already unlucky enough, and I hope other scholars would not be more unlucky than this.

Walking along a deserted path, the three of them soon entered the ghost market.

"Master, look, there is an ingot of gold, I don't know who lost it." A guard whispered.

"It should be fake."

A guard next to him also suppressed his voice and said, "Since this is a ghost market, how could there be gold on the ground?"

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it and said: "It's not gold, it's a human bone, and there is a wronged soul squatting next to it. Whoever picks it up will take that wronged soul home. At that time, it will definitely be entangled by that wronged soul. The light one will be seriously ill. Those who are serious will be killed."

When he saw a human bone, there was a gloomy middle-aged man squatting beside him. This middle-aged man had a dark face, eyes the size of mung beans, and radiated red light.

Obviously, this is a deadly ghost.

He thought for a while, then strode over and picked up the human bone on the ground.

"Young master, didn't you say that this gold is a human bone, why do you want to pick it up?" the guard said in shock.

"This ghost wants to harm people. It can't harm me today, and it will harm another passerby in the future, so I want to stop its thinking of harming people." Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan pick up the human bone, the dark-faced middle-aged ghost immediately smiled, and immediately turned into a gust of dark wind trying to get into the human bone, and was taken home as gold.

But as soon as the ghost approached Li Xiuyuan's surroundings, it immediately let out a shrill cry, as if it had fallen into boiling oil and was about to be fried to death.

"Hoo~!"

A gust of wind seemed to be shattered, spreading out with a stench, and the ghost had disappeared.

"Crack~!"

Then, the human bone in Li Xiuyuan's hand made a crisp sound, and it broke directly.

"It's really a human bone." The two guards next to him took a look and were immediately shocked.

Li Xiuyuan casually threw the human bones into the distant forest, patted the dust on his palms and said: "Ghosts harm people are nothing more than these tricks. One is to change the beauty and money to lure you; To scare you, as long as you are bold, and don't be tempted by beauty and money, go out, nine out of ten ghosts can be ignored."

The two guards nodded approvingly when they heard the words, and felt that it was necessary to keep them firmly in their hearts in the future.

After crossing this road, they completely entered the ghost market.

The street is not big, just a winding mountain road. There are ghost lights floating on the trees beside the road, like lanterns, lighting up the mountains and forests. There are ghosts wandering around here and there. There are men and women, children and old people. .

On both sides, there are little ghosts setting up stalls, selling some weird things.

Clothes and gold and silver jewelry made of paper, as well as houses and buildings painted on yellow paper, as well as boys and girls used for worship in front of the grave, all kinds of items are not human things, like Items for grave sacrifices.

Li Xiuyuan came all the way with his guards, but all the passing ghosts hurriedly avoided him when they saw him, and they didn't want to get too close.

Because the ghosts here felt the scorching yang energy like a furnace in Li Xiuyuan.

Even if the seven orifices and exquisite heart were blocked, ghosts with weak morals would not dare to approach a martial arts practitioner like him.

This is also the reason that the people who encounter ghosts are old, weak, sick and disabled. The real three-dimensional and five-thick men will not encounter ghosts, because ghosts can only confuse those timid and weak people, and encounter bold and fierce people. People must avoid it.

"You two go to the side and ask to see if there are any whereabouts of those scholars. They dare not get too close to me, so I can't ask." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, young master." The two guards responded and walked away immediately.

Li Xiuyuan warned again; "Don't go too far."

Although these two guards are also martial arts practitioners and have a strong yang energy, they can only let some little ghosts avoid them. If they encounter some experienced old ghosts, they will still be recruited, so he told them not to go far.

"Young man, why did you come here in the middle of the night? This is not where you came from. Go home and leave."

While waiting, a hunchbacked old ghost passed by, saw Li Xiuyuan opened his mouth to remind him, motioned him to leave here.

Li Xiuyuan was taken aback when he saw this, then saluted and said: "I want to ask the old man something, it's not convenient if I don't know the old man."

"I don't know what the younger generation wants to inquire about?" the hunchbacked old ghost asked.

"It's the whereabouts of a few scholars. They came here before, but they disappeared now. They are my friends. I came this time to look for them." Li Xiuyuan said.

I didn't expect there to be ghosts in this ghost city who would kindly remind me to leave here.

It seems that not all ghosts are bad, and there are a few good-hearted ones.

The hunchbacked old ghost looked around, didn't speak, just pointed to the forest over there, and then left quickly.

Li Xiuyuan looked in the direction he pointed, and vaguely saw a garden in that area, and there were buildings in the garden.

It should be a cemetery.

"It seems that the hunchback is very jealous of that place, he dare not say it, he can only point it out."

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself: "The male ghost that confused Zhu Yu that I killed before said that he was a ghost servant under Chu Shilang's sect. Is there any connection between the two?"

No matter what, I still have to go and have a look, I hope this kind hunchback ghost didn't lie to himself.

Soon, he greeted the two guards who were asking around, and told them to come back.

One of the two guards was pestered by a peddler and wanted to buy something, and the other guard was pestered by a female ghost, who was talking about something.

However, the two guards remembered Li Xiuyuan's instructions before, and immediately ran back left and right as soon as they ordered them.

"Eldest young master, what's the matter? The younger one has almost found out about the scholar from the peddler."

"I'll also immediately ask a little bit about the situation from that woman's mouth."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "If you can't find out by asking, they won't say it. They're trying to trick you with information. Don't pay attention to them. Let's go."

"Yes, young master." The two guards responded.

The two peddlers and the female ghost pestering the guards did not follow when they saw the group leave. Maybe it was because they were a little jealous of Li Xiuyuan, or the two guards were not deceived or seduced by them.

Soon, Li Xiuyuan came to a cemetery with a relatively beautiful environment.

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a place among the mountains." He glanced at it.

Although it was night, he could still see the environment here against the moonlight.

It's not like between the mountains and fields, but it's a good place for outings. There are fruit tree gardens and some pavilions nearby, and these things are not illusions, but real existence. If it is fake Yes, then it must not be hidden from his eyes.

"If you want to build this place, you need a lot of financial resources." He thought to himself.

"Young master, this is a mansion." The guard next to him looked at the front and said.

Mansion?

Li Xiuyuan frowned and said, "What mansion?"

"It says Chu Mansion." The guard said.

"Then go and have a look." Li Xiuyuan said, he didn't see the Chu family in his eyes.

But before they had gone far, a few of them came across a creek, and just crossed the creek, they heard a voice next to them.

"Those youngsters, can you help a group of old people, whose legs and feet are inconvenient, and can't cross this stream, can you help carry them over?"

An old man with a short beard, an old face, but a taller figure smiled and waved to the three of them.

"Old man, let me carry you on my back." A guard patted his chest and said eagerly.

Li Xiuyuan patted him on the back suddenly; "What are you doing?"

The guard suddenly trembled, his eyes woke up from the confusion, and he was suddenly panicked. How could he agree to the old man all of a sudden?

It's so late, in the mountains and forests, an old man wants to cross a stream, which is obviously weird, normal people would not agree to it.

"Big, young master, this is me?"

"You're just bewildered by a ghost. This is an old ghost. It's normal for you to be unable to stop it if you have the skills."

Li Xiuyuan said, and then looked at the so-called old man who wanted to cross the stream.

In his eyes, the old man was not alone at all, but a rotten coffin standing there.

If he walked over and carried the old man on his back, he would be carrying a coffin board on his back.

"We don't have the time to deal with this old ghost. We have other things to do." Li Xiuyuan said.

The two guards responded and left in a hurry.

"Chu's Cemetery"

When he came to a plaque, Li Xiuyuan looked up, but saw four large characters on it.

"Young Master, the Chu Mansion is here, do you want to knock on the door?" The guard said, in their eyes, this house number was a mansion gate, and two vermilion gates fell in front of them.

"There is no mansion gate, so let's go first and let us know when we meet someone. The door is knocked by ghosts. We are living people, so we don't need to pay attention to it." Li Xiuyuan strode forward.
