shrewd nun

Chapter 2 Holy Spirit Village

Outside Shengsheng Village, there was thick fog all day long, and on two three-to-four-meter-high Yunshan wooden posts, there was a tattered old plaque with the words Shengsheng Village written on it.

Yao Guo got off the carriage, her legs trembled a little, don't get me wrong, she wasn't frightened, but her bones were about to fall apart from being bumped by the carriage...

"Miss, wait for me." Zhutao rushed behind Yao Guo in a hurry, grabbed her sleeve tightly, trembling all over, this child was really frightened.

Yao Guo looked up, and saw the sun shining in the thick fog, with a faint golden light, it was like a fairy fog!But here at night, it must be described as ghostly fog...

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, look how beautiful this place is! The fairyland is nothing more than this." Yao Guo patted Zhutao's hand and comforted her against her will.

"Really?" Zhutao glanced up secretly, then hurriedly lowered her head, and muttered, "How could the fairyland be like this..."

In the dense fog, a few dilapidated thatched cottages can be seen faintly. Although they have a hazy aesthetic feeling, they are definitely not hooked to fairyland.

"Let's go in!" Yao Guo gritted his teeth, pulled the oleander, and plunged into the thick fog.

Without the wonderful feeling of walking through the water curtain, nor the horror of hell, Yao Guo just felt that he came to the vegetable market, no, it should be said to be more lively than the vegetable market.

This is a yellow mud path two to three meters wide, and there are various street stalls on both sides of the path, some selling steamed stuffed buns, some melon seeds, and some selling stone and jade wares.

It seems that it is really similar to the ordinary market. How can it be so mysterious as zhutao said, it is completely scaring yourself!
Yao Guo coughed twice, and straightened her back. The way she looked just now was simply too embarrassing, like a little old woman, her worldly fame!Almost ruined here...

"Miss, that's the place that sells charms." Zhutao pointed to the third booth in front, where a thin old man was sitting, holding a long and thin brush in his hand, writing on a piece of half-yellow paper. What is written on the strip.

In front of the old man selling talismans, there were already three or four young people gathered around to choose talisman papers, which didn't look like a fake.

"You two girls, I think you are just ordinary people, you should go back quickly! This is not the place for you..." An old man selling melon seeds next to him said suddenly.

"Huh?" Yao Guo looked puzzled, "Aren't there ordinary people here? If you can come, why can't we?"

"Hey, although the money comes here quickly, we are all risking our lives to do business. A few days ago, Lao Wang from the house next door to me was nailed to death on that stake." The old man selling melon seeds pointed Refers to the spruce wood at the gate.

Yao Guo looked in the direction the old man pointed, and saw that one of the spruce stakes was stained with red, red and white marks, which made people feel nauseous...

"Miss, we bought the talisman, let's go back quickly!" Zhutao was about to cry, she was really afraid of this place.

"Yeah." Yao Guo nodded, watching those young people leave, she came to the booth and asked, "Boss, do you sell wall-penetrating spells here?"

"Sell!" The old man glanced at her indifferently, pointed to a corner of the booth and said, "That stack is full of wall-penetrating spells."

Yao Guo squatted down, shifted her eyes to the stack of wall-penetrating spells, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Is that pile of toilet paper-like things high-end things like spells?

It's so nonsense...

"How much?" Yao Guo asked tentatively.

"A low-grade spirit stone." The old man didn't even bother to give her a look this time. What kind of spirit stone are you talking about with an ordinary little girl?Isn't it a waste of saliva!
"Ling... Lingshi?" Yao Guo suddenly felt thunder rolling...God, no, it should be God, where did you send me?

Suddenly, a fierce quarrel came from the side. It turned out that a jade seller and a buyer had a disagreement, and they quarreled.

The sound of ping-pong-pong kept ringing, and as the two of them were tugging, many jade objects fell to the ground.

"Miss, let's get out of here quickly!" Zhutao was afraid of any violence, dragging Yao Guo outside.

"Wait." Yao Guo's eyes fell on an emerald green jade bottle, which was the size of two palms. The body of the bottle was streamlined and very beautiful.

All the jade wares that were thrown to the ground were more or less damaged, but this jade bottle was intact, without even a single crack...

"Miss, do you like that jade bottle?" Zhutao looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them, so she quickly took out a handkerchief, wrapped the jade bottle, and said anxiously: "Now we can go back!"

Yao Guo nodded quickly, Zhutao, a girl, really knows her very well...

"Stop it! Stop it all for me!"

At this time, a few young men in white clothes came out from the village. Their eyes were cold and there was a sharp look in their eyes.

"I asked you to set up a stall here, but you are noisy all day long. If you don't want to stay, get out of here!" One of the young people shouted coldly.

The jade seller was already pale with fright, his teeth were chattering loudly, "Several immortals, please spare me, I will never dare again."

The other person who was arguing had his hands on his hips and laughed exaggeratedly, "Immortal? Just you brats, are you worthy of calling yourself an immortal?"

The surrounding suddenly became strangely quiet, and everyone looked at him with a terrified expression, as if they were looking at a lunatic...

Yao Guo stood quietly in the crowd, not daring to move or make a sound.

If she guessed right, these young people should all be immortals. Immortals are not counted, but no matter what, they have something to do with the word immortal.

Yao Guo originally believed in science, but she suddenly traveled from the 21st century to this strange world, which made her have to believe that this world has a soul.

To put it another way, it is not uncommon for there to be gods and ghosts!

Finding that no one agreed with him, the man spat again: "A group of fools."

"Brother, something is wrong? I think it's better to forget it!" A teenager tugged at his sleeve. They just wanted to collect some protection money. It's not worth it if you take it in.

"You idiot!" The man slapped the young man on the head and cursed angrily, "It's haunted and gods, you think Holy Spirit Village is a place where gods and ghosts gather!"

But it's strange to say that in such a rural corner, the flow of people is so strong that it can catch up with the market day in the county town. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't come all the way here to collect protection money!

"Hmph." A man in white snorted coldly, without talking nonsense, he took out a piece of talisman paper and held it between his fingers.

The man thought he was trying to pretend to be a ghost, so he walked up and shouted, "Hey, you seem to have a good posture, which Taoist temple apprentices are you! Report your name!"

"Ignorance!" The man in white threw the talisman casually, only to hear a soft "chi", the talisman turned into a ball of fire, floated to the top of the man's head, then scattered into a net, and fell down...

"My God! What the hell, it's so hot! No... help! Immortal, spare me!" The man let out a shrill scream, and the flames quickly filled his whole body, quickly burning him into a piece of black charcoal.

Many people have been frightened and stupid, but the vendors who have set up stalls here for a long time, they are used to it, as long as they don't provoke this group of people, they usually won't make a move.

Yao Guo's eyes widened, and he was both shocked and angry. These immortal cultivators killed casually?Are they not afraid of reducing the road?
Could it be that cultivating immortals is not what I thought at all?

"Junior brother, why waste a fire talisman for an ordinary person!" A man in white disagreed.

"Just him? He's not worthy of letting me draw my sword!"

"The higher-ups sent us to maintain order in Shengsheng Village, and they gave a low-grade spirit stone a day. You just used up a fire spirit talisman on your first day here. Isn't it a big loss!"

"Never mind him! Anyway, I can get a lot of this kind of first-grade magic talisman every month, and it's a waste if I don't use it..."

"The younger brother is still generous, haha!"

"That's right, the younger brother is very talented, and the talismans he receives every month are much more than us."

A group of people in white chattered and laughed and left the gate of the village, and walked towards the inside of the village...

It was only now that Yao Guo discovered that the stalls at the entrance were all selling food, while the stalls inside were all selling talisman paper utensils, all of which she could not understand.

It seems that the village is where those people really stay...

"Miss, let's go!" A whimpering voice came.

Yao Guo turned around and found that Zhutao was crying like a cat, she couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you afraid of, since you haven't seen any blood, you just imagine him as a piece of charcoal, isn't it so scary?"

In her previous life, she was a Sanda master and joined the special forces. It was because she was afraid of seeing blood that she quit within a few years.

It's not that she hasn't seen dead people before, so she wasn't frightened by the scene just now, but she didn't agree with the group of men in white who killed innocent people indiscriminately.

Yao Guo thought about it for a while, and felt that although he was a master of Sanda, if he met these immortal cultivators, wouldn't he be powerless to fight back?

Pulling Zhutao, Yao Guo came to the stall selling talisman paper again, and asked, "You should also accept ordinary money, right? Or how much money do you need to exchange for a piece of low-grade spirit stone?"

The skinny old man pointed to a booth diagonally opposite, "He specializes in selling low-grade spirit stones, 100 taels of silver a piece, you can buy them from him."

Yao Guo was overjoyed immediately, and asked again: "Do you sell fire charms here? It's the one that that person used just now."

The skinny old man nodded, "I only sell low-grade first-grade talismans here. Although they are not as good as those used by the disciple of Yufeng Mountain, the difference is not too big..."

Yao Guo's eyes lit up, "I'll change the spirit stone right away!"
