Chapter 1068: Ghost City Rumors
The three brothers pouted, and the boss looked at the two of them dejectedly, swallowed, and answered honestly: "We have only been to the ghost market once. It was the birthday of the ghost mother of forty two years ago. The Giant Ao was resting in Donghu again, so we also benefited from it and went in to visit it. They said that they were ghost markets, which was not pretending to be ghosts and scaring people. The place was very evil. The summer was very cold, but it was so lively that it was crowded with people. The three brothers had no power and power. They only sat on the outermost side to eat and drink on the birthday banquet. The ghost mother was named Xin Shiniang. She was very beautiful, but she was as white as death from head to toe, and even her lips were white."
"Ghost Mother?" Yun Xiao said the name curiously, "It sounds a bit creepy. Why should I call her ghost mother?"
Speaking of this, the boss couldn't help but tremble. It was obviously two years ago, but now he thinks of it clearly: "I call her ghost mother not because she looks scary, but because she has thirty children!"
"Thirty...children?" Yun Xiao counted and asked in disbelief, "You just said that the ghost mother had just passed her 40th birthday two years ago, so how could she have thirty children? One of them had to be born from the age of ten a year, and the sows were not as good as that!"
The boss shook his head repeatedly, and his tone mysteriously whispered. He even shook his eyes curiously at Yunxiao and said with a smile: "She may not have given birth to one year. Those thirty children look very similar, both men and women, and they are all young people in their twenties. If they hadn't raised their wine glasses to celebrate their mother's 40th birthday, no one would have thought that this group of people would be a mother-son relationship! There are many merchants on the back of the Giant Ao, and everyone tacitly avoided this matter. Anyway, business is about being kind and making money. The profits of the ghost market are huge. It is said that you can make money in your lifetime by working for three years. Moreover, the ghost mother only charges them very little rent, so they pretend to be crazy and stupid to congratulate them together, and shut up and talk about other things."
Yun Xiao also became interested and blurted out: "Where is the father of that child?"
"No one knows." The boss thought suspiciously and muttered, "The owner of the ghost market is the ghost mother Xin Shiniang. She has a very friendly relationship with those thirty children. In addition to her skin is like a ghost, she is said to have a pretty good personality."
Yun Xiao turned his head to look at Xiao Qianye. Such bizarre rumors were obviously difficult to convince. He thought for a while and asked: "Do you know when the ghost market will appear and what method is needed to enter?"
The boss blinked pitifully, pointed his hand at the calm water of Donghu Lake, and swallowed nervously and said something that still scared him: "In the past few years, many dragon tribes emerged from the lake. They rushed into the city to grab food and weapons, causing trouble to make the dogs complain. The ghost market suddenly emerged at that time. Donghu Lake is our largest inner lake. The giant aura likes water, so it ran over to rest. In those years, the ghost market often appeared and had business dealings with some large merchants in Jiangliu City. Later, the dragon tribe suddenly died for some reason. Their blood turned into dragon blood beads and spilled into Donghu Lake. The ghost market asked the sixth brother to stay and deal with this matter, and he continued to do business. It will come about once every sixth year. These days, the sixth brother was not in Zuiweng Tower. It must be that the ghost market was coming soon, and he had to welcome it."
Xiao Qianye frowned, and he felt a chill behind him. He looked at him in the direction of his finger for a long time: "Did the Dragon Clan suddenly die?"
When talking about this, even though he was a gangster, the three brothers still showed a look of hatred on their faces. They spat and scolded fiercely: "Yes, we were very peaceful before. Although there were martial arts halls and weapons workshops in the city, they were also learning a craft to make a living. The group of dragons jumped out of the bottom of the lake with evil spirits and robbed all the food on the entire island in a few months. It was really a retribution for evil. They died in the lake all the way!"
"You don't have the face to talk to others!" Yun Xiao poked the boss's forehead and couldn't help but sarcastic. He chuckled and blinked sly. "Anyway, he died suddenly. It's almost a year. It's raining heavily that day, and the rain fell from the sky like a thread, and it was a little shining! Maybe God couldn't stand their evil deeds, so he finally took action to deal with them."
Yun Xiao's heart skipped a beat, as if he remembered some familiar scenes: "Qianye, the situation he was talking about should be the devouring technique used by the black dragon. No wonder he died suddenly. It was obviously eaten by the black dragon."
Xiao Qianye's throat felt a little nauseous, and he sniffed his lips and sneered: "That guy's appetite is really good. In five years, he probably had to eat hundreds of thousands of people of the same clan."
"Fortunately, it's only five years. If you delay it for a while, it won't be easy to kill it." Yun Xiao pressed his chest with lingering fear and grinned at him with a bright smile, "I have to thank you!"
Xiao Qianye just smiled slightly. He was a little lucky in that battle, otherwise the ending would be difficult to say. He casually passed by and continued to turn to the boss and asked, "You just said that the ghost market should be coming soon, so how can we find it?"
The boss's head shook like a rattle: "I have told you all that I know. Please, two of us brothers, just want to rob some money and make it more abundant, but we dare not mess with that kind of thing! If you really want to find them, then you should go to the east and go to the edge of Liudao. There is a Tiandi Port on the edge of Liudao. Juao rarely comes to Donghu now. They always collect goods at the port and leave. At most, they can only stop for three or five days. You go by yourself and let us go."
The three brothers kowtowed neatly and begged for mercy. Yun Xiao poked the boss's head. He knew that no matter how hard he asked, he simply tied up the three of them with their spiritual power and threw them back to Jiangliu City. He turned his head and asked, "Do you really want to investigate the ghost market?"
Xiao Qianye nodded subconsciously. When he realized that Yun Xiao had already tiptoed to his side, put his chin on his shoulder and muttered: "In fact, it has become a fact that the dragon blood beads are flooded. As long as I pay more attention, I will not be affected by it often. What you really care about is the movement of the giant aura. You have told me before that the giant aura has a strong sense of territory and usually does not leave the Liudao to which it belongs. The performance of the ghost market in recent years is obviously contrary to its habits. You are worried that Xin Shiniang, like Wen Shun, has borrowed the magic weapon of the Spirit Artifact Department, so you want to continue pursuing it, right?"
"Yeah." He sighed, his expression was slightly dazed, and he murmured in confusion, "A Xiao, although the heaven is called the ruler of the sky, there are not many people who are truly powerful to destroy an entire island, let alone magic weapons that are contaminated with a little divine power? I am worried that the source of that thing is either Di Zhong or Huang Yan, and most likely it is not someone else. I asked him on the way from Shesheng Dao before, but he had no impression of it. They are used to being free when they meet tens of thousands of years, so it is normal for them to leave something wherever they can't remember it. Since the ghost market happened to hit me this time, I want to go in and investigate it carefully."
"Then go." Yun Xiao responded without hesitation and said to himself, "The ghost mother in the three robbers is also very strange. She is 40 years old and thirty children? This is not a sow, it is a spider spirit at all!"
Xiao Qianye was a little worried, but when she heard this, she laughed out loud. Instead, she remembered some legendary stories and talked: "Maybe it really is a spider spirit? The legendary ghost mother lives in Xiaoyu Mountain in the South China Sea, with tiger, dragon feet, python eyebrows and eyes. She can give birth to ten ghosts in the morning, and at night she will eat the child as a snack. This is completely different from the kind and kind ghost mother mentioned by the three robbers just now."
"The spider spirit is not kind and kind, right?" Yun Xiao smiled and squeezed him, patted the mud at the corner of the skirt and urged him, "Get off quickly. Although Liudao is not big, it is quite far to rush to the east edge, and I don't know the specific location. I have to look for it carefully."
"No need." Xiao Qianye picked up the stones on the ground and smiled mysteriously at her, then raised his hand and threw the stones into the lake. He saw a circle of wonderful water patterns swaying with the landing point as the center, and then the outlines of mountains and rivers emerged. Soon, the easternmost Tiandi Port of Liudao, was clearly visible. Yun Xiao looked at him in surprise and disbelief, "Is it the art of the sky? Wow, your magic foundation is so poor, you are so skilled now?"
Xiao Qianye twitched his lips and argued: "I could have done it a little."
Yun Xiao rolled his eyes at him and whispered: "Last time in Qilian Mountain, you have been looking for a Daluo Heavenly Palace for several days. How could you suddenly become so skilled? Who taught you?"
Xiao Qianye's cheeks were slightly red, like a child who had been seen through his worries, he hesitated for a long time, and then he said reluctantly: "This time I came to the Qisheng Tiankeng to investigate the incident of Shura ghosts and gods. Di Zhong had no intention of letting you interfere. He wanted to wait for you to find the entrance to the space passage and let me take you back to this island to wait for news. So I used the Sky Art to observe several times in the morning, and showed me the spells left here, but you accidentally fell in and disrupted all plans."
"Is it just to let me open a door for you?" Yun Xiao complained unwillingly. Xiao Qianye shrugged and continued in confusion, "He said that this place is safe, and he said that the people are simple. As a result, he was invaded by dragons a few years ago. There are still people in the ghost market who are ill-behaved. Where is it safe? This kind of spell is not very reliable."
Seeing that he was half-knowing, Yun Xiao straightened his back seriously and explained seriously: "The technique of dotting the sky can only show what is happening now! It is not a god, how can you see the past and the future? Moreover, the chaos of the Dragon Clan has ended almost a year ago, and the ghost market is secretly trading the dragon blood beads under the guise of purchasing mermaid beads, so it looks really a small place with simple folk customs and a safe and peaceful life."
"Then why were we targeted by the robbers just now?" Xiao Qianye also responded without hesitation, suddenly paused, as if he remembered something and looked at Yun Xiao stiffly, "You were thinking about running for your own life just now, and you were planning to throw me to them to silence me?"
"The husband and wife are all birds in the forest. They fly away when the disaster is coming. Do you still want to pull me on the back?" Yun Xiao's eyes rolled up, and she kept giggling on her mouth. She immediately held his arm and urged her to rush to the road.
