Chapter 229 Killing the Demon
As the stone mill rumbled and rotated, a pale golden halo emitted from the stone wall of Yuewang Temple, which looked like a shaking mirror.
"Let's go! It's a ghost market inside."
The layman in the thatched cottage waved to me and turned towards the stone wall of Yuewang Temple.
call!
As the halo above the stone wall swayed, the figure of the thatched cottage layman passed directly through.
"It turns out to be here."
I frowned and then walked towards the halo above the stone wall.
As the Caolu layman and I entered the ghost market, the rollers outside the Yuewang Temple slowly stopped.
Under the quiet moonlight, it seemed like nothing happened.
My eyes were in a trance for a while, and when I opened them again, the world seemed to have changed.
The noisy streets stretch as far as the eye can see, with stalls hanging red lanterns on both sides of the road.
There is an endless stream of figures on the street, most of them are demons and evil spirits. Occasionally, you can see a few figures wearing Taoist robes passing by.
Fierce ghosts whose intestines serve as scarves hanging on their shoulders, Gu eagles with three heads, and mermaids covered in scales and armor are everywhere here.
Ordinary people would be frightened to death if they saw this kind of scene.
Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter the ghost market. After all, demons and evil spirits are the mainstream here.
Most of these stall owners are evil spirits, and the things placed on the stalls are also all kinds of different.
"Boy, remember not to ask others about their origins in the ghost market, and don't reveal your identity easily.
Here, regardless of race, everyone takes what they need and buys and sells freely.
Especially don't cause trouble. Fighting and killing are strictly prohibited in the ghost market.
There are strong men from all races in the ghost market, who will severely punish those who fight and kill."
With the patient explanation from the layman in the thatched cottage, I gained a basic understanding of the rules in the ghost market.
"Little master, would you like to take a look at the magic weapons? They are all first-hand goods that I have recently captured."
I had just stepped into the ghost market, and a pig demon with a fat head, big ears and a mouth full of fangs at the stall next to me shouted enthusiastically at me.
I glanced at his stall and saw that it was filled with Bagua mirrors, money swords, magic pestles and other magical weapons.
There are even several sets of bloody Taoist robes. Needless to say, we know where these things came from.
I don’t know how many people in the sect have died in its hands.
Diagonally opposite the pig demon, there was an old Taoist priest with gray hair sitting. The stalls were full of demon pills, demon bones and other things.
I smiled lightly at the pig demon.
"No need, you can keep these craps to yourself.
If you accumulate more good things on weekdays, maybe one day I will be able to sweep the goods onto your mountain."
The pig demon was not angry either. He crossed his shoulders with his hands and showed a mocking look on his face.
"Okay! You are welcome at any time. There should be a lot of good things in the tin box behind you. I can just make a fortune."
"Then it depends on whether your teeth are strong enough. See you later."
I did not continue to quarrel with the pig demon and walked towards the depths of the ghost market.
The top priority is to find the Wraith Flower. As for other things, I am not in the mood to look at them.
Unfortunately, I searched around for more than half an hour and still couldn't find the whereabouts of the Wraith Flower.
"Lin Shisan..."
Just when I was getting anxious, someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder from behind.
I frowned, turned around, and saw a childish loli face.
Bifangniao!
I glared at Bi Fangniao and reached out to cover her mouth.
"I'm sorry, can you please stop calling my name in public in the hall?"
Bi Fangniao slapped my hand down with a look of displeasure on his face.
"Shopping big or small, why did you come to the ghost market?"
"I'm looking for a wraith flower, but unfortunately I haven't found it yet."
"Wraith Flower, what do you want that thing for?"
Bi Fangniao frowned, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Okay! Just take your time and play with it, and I'll continue looking."
"Wait a minute!"
Bi Fangniao suddenly stopped me and pointed in another direction of the ghost market.
"I just came over there, and I seem to have seen the Wraith Flower. Of course, I don't know if it has been bought by someone now."
When I heard Bi Fangniao say that he had seen the Wraith Flower, I couldn't help but feel excited and squeezed Bi Fangniao's tender cheeks.
"I love you so much."
Before Bi Fangniao could react, I was already running in the direction she pointed.
By the time Bi Fangniao reacted, I had already run a long way away.
"This little girl looks quite attractive."
The layman in the thatched cottage didn't know the origin of Bi Fangniao, so he followed the example and stretched out his hand.
Before he could pinch Bi Fangniao's cheek, Bi Fangniao's eyes were already filled with burning flames twice.
"You dare to touch me and try?"
The layman in the thatched cottage turned pale with fright, swallowed his saliva, and trotted towards me.
Bi Fangniao hesitated for two seconds, then turned around and followed.
"Boy, where did that little girl come from, and why are those eyes so scary?"
The layman in the thatched cottage ran to me panting, and did not forget to turn around and look at Bi Fangniao.
"Little girl? Her true form is the Bi Fang Divine Bird. The total time your Jinghu Mountain Courtyard has been around may not be as old as her."
Bi Fang Divine Bird!
The layman in the thatched cottage looked at me with a shocked expression.
"You clearly know that she is the Bi Fang Divine Bird, how dare you pinch her face."
"What are you afraid of? Didn't you already say that fighting and killing are prohibited in this ghost city?
She can't do anything to me."
The layman in the thatched cottage was stunned and couldn't help stroking his beard.
"That's right! Then didn't I just lose money?"
I was too lazy to pay attention to the lay people in thatched cottages, and kept looking around at the surrounding stalls.
Suddenly, I stopped in a daze and looked towards a stall not far away.
On top of the stall, there was a solitary black flower that exuded a demonic aura.
The appearance of this flower is exactly the same as what was recorded in Mr. Sang's notes.
"The Ghost Flower, I finally found it."
I looked towards the stall owner of the Ghost Flower. Behind the stall, a figure with human body and head of a leopard was sitting cross-legged.
The owner of this ghost flower is surprisingly a leopard demon.
I saw that this leopard monster was covered in scars, one of its arms was broken, and there was a long and narrow scar hanging on its cheek.
In front of his stall, there was only one wraith flower.
"Boy, don't blame me for not warning you, you may not be able to eat this ghost flower."
The voice of Bi Fangniao sounded behind me.
I glanced at the Wraith Flower on the stall, and I was also very confused.
It stands to reason that this ghost flower is a rare spiritual herb, and both demons and evil spirits should flock to it, but why has it not been sold until now?
In the ghost market, all goods are basically transitive. Could it be because the leopard monster's price was too high?
"This demon brother, I wonder how you plan to sell this ghost flower?"
The leopard demon slowly opened his eyes and looked towards me.
When he saw that I was a young human being, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"If you can't afford it, don't waste your time."
The leopard demon's eyelids drooped and he replied coldly.
"What do you mean? Since you are selling ghost flowers here, you must have a price.
Demon elixirs are also elixirs, or demon magical weapons.
If you don't tell me the price, how do you know I can't afford it?"
The leopard demon took a deep breath and looked at me with his deep eyes.
"I don't want the demon elixir or the demon magic weapon.
Whoever can help me kill a demon, I will give this ghost flower to you."
