  Chapter 145 Seven Ways of Ghost City

  A week later, beside a long-abandoned farmland, in front of a dilapidated small town, a strong figure stepped into the sky.

The air behind    was stepped on and made a muffled sound. After a short while, the sturdy figure gradually slowed down, and his feet lightly landed in front of the town.

  Qitu Town, located on the main traffic road, is a place where the seven official roads meet smoothly. The traffic is developed and there is an endless stream of business. It was once prosperous here, and it is a rich place that many people envy.

  Outside the town, Qianqian Liangtian, a large household in Zhumen in the town, is now dilapidated, but you can still see the prosperity here.

  As for the Seven Ways Town, why did it become like this, a sturdy but immature-looking young man, looking at the two dead bones hanging on the archway in Zhenkou.

  The breeze in the evening blows, two dead bones are swaying in the wind, and the sound of the dried bones colliding with each other, like a hoarse wind chime, with the smell of vicissitudes.

  It was a war that ruined the peaceful life in this small town, a mortal war that has not yet ended.

  The figure standing at the gate of the small town in the sunset is naturally Jiang Li who has taken on the task of destroying the demons in the sect.

  Jiang Li tapped his finger, two auras shot out, put down the corpse hanging on the archway, and then waved his hand to dig out two pits on the ground next to him, and buried the dry bones in it.

  Compacted the soil of the tomb bag, and planted two grave head grasses, he nodded with satisfaction, and then walked into the ghostly Qitu Town in front of him.

Originally, the disciples in the Qi training period were not allowed to perform the task of eliminating demons alone, but when Jiang Li was in the martial arts of the sect, he proved that he also had the unique strength, and coupled with the approval of Elder He, this was the only person who came here. .

  The devastated town, the roadside is covered with weeds, withered bones can be seen everywhere, and there are tragic traces of swordsmen everywhere.

  It is said that the battle in the world of immortality is cruel, and this mortal world is so cruel that you can't even have the opportunity to fight.

  Jiang Li did not bother to bury the corpse any more, but soaked his eyes with the aura of the Yin attribute, looking for the ghost in the town.

   "It seems that the group of little demons didn't lie to me. Before the sun sets, nothing can be seen here."

  Jiang Li looked around, but did not find any ghosts swaying the market. So not in vain, he walked to a well on the other side of the town and sat down, quietly waiting for the fall of night.

Sitting next to the well, Jiang Li took out a map and looked at it. On the map, a common red circle marked five locations, three of which have been crossed out by red crosses, and Qitu Town where he is currently located is The fourth mark location.

  Jiang Li came here, indeed to perform the task of cultivating demons.

  But this Fumo mission itself was the information provided by Jiang Li, which was released after being confirmed.

  A week ago, Jiang Li and Yanhong went to the Foreign Affairs Hall to choose the address of the shop together. It was in a city that never sleeps, built by many sect forces.

  The reason for choosing this place is that it is prosperous, safe, and that the average life expectancy of mortals in the surrounding countries does not exceed 25 years.

  Dozens of nomadic tribes, four kingdoms that hate each other, and from time to time, there will be an uprising civilian judge.

  The intricate hostile relationship has caused years of war in this area, and almost everyone here has forgotten the peace. .

  But the land in this area is extremely fertile, with a warm climate and plenty of rain. As long as a little farming is done, the grain will be harvested every year.

  As a result, people in this area are never afraid of hunger, and with the encouragement of the kingdom, the birth rate of the population is very exaggerated. It is just normal for a couple to have eight or nine children.

  Finally, it is the mortals here, who are constantly living and dying. After decades of continuous life, they are surprised that the population has not dropped much.

  Jiang Li was here for the soul of the dead, and this area naturally became his first choice.

  After letting Yanhong contact the weak monster nearby, he still had two problems to solve.

  One is the problem of cheap remuneration, which was quickly resolved after discussing with Ma Donggui.

  Ma Donggui gave Jiang Li some samples of the leftover material from the ore, which indeed contained very slight aura. This is of no use to the monks, but it is a good thing in the eyes of the bottom monsters.

   And Ma Donggui said, a few days later, a Zongmen flying boat will pass through the city of Evernight, and a huge amount of spiritual ore materials will be transported to him by then.

  Then the second question is the gathering places of ghosts in this area. The souls in a large area nearby will be attracted by these shades, which should have been more convenient for centralized capture.

  But in these places, the dark atmosphere is often entrenched with powerful ghosts. The group of people who barely opened up their wisdom and saw the little monsters who have to walk around the road by human hunters, how dare to come to collect their souls and souls.

  So Jiang Li could only make a trip to the Demon Guard in person for the smooth expansion of the soul acquisition business in the future.

  But since he is a member of Fumotang, why not get an extra reward for the task of the sect?

  So after he reported the situation himself, he took the task himself.

  Of course, it’s definitely not possible for someone else to do this, but Jiang Li is the first disciple of Fumotang, and such a little operation is not a violation at all.

  Jiang Li was praising his wit, but at the end of the road in the distance, there was a noise of rolling wheels.

   Jiang Li followed his reputation, and was surprised to see that a team of merchants was slowly coming.

  There are really a lot of people who are not afraid of death for money. Even under this kind of war situation, there are actually proficient businessmen.

  "Little brother, this little brother, please inquire."

  This team is not big or small. It has five carriages, a dozen horses, and about thirty people. It is naturally incomparable with the Shengxiange team back then, but it can be regarded as a medium-sized caravan.

  In the front, a middle-aged man with a horse trot for two steps, and walked in front of Jiang Li, a smell of stinky sweat came over his face.

  Jiang Li did not wear a sect disciple's uniform during this trip, but only a coarse cloth dress dressed as an ordinary civilian.

  After all, wearing a disciple's suit is awe-inspiring, but the consequence is to expose yourself completely. This was a lesson in the mission of Innan Kingdom at that time. Jiang Li still intends to act in a low-key manner this time.

  So the other party only thinks that Jiang Li is a civilian nearby, and doesn't care too much.

  "The little brother is a local, please inquire, knowing which direction Qitu Town should go to?"

  Jiang Li looked at the small town behind him, and then at the middle-aged man in front of him. He didn't expect that he would ask such a question. This man seems to be not blind.

   "The visitor is looking for Qitu Town? What is the so-called looking for Qitu Town?"

   Jiang Li thought that the other party was poking his mouth, so he asked again.

   "What the little brother said, the place is deserted and uninhabited. It is going to be dark. I waited for the boats and cars, so naturally I was looking for a stop in Qitu Town."

  The middle-aged man smiled, with a simple face, and the caravan behind him gradually stopped.

   "The luck of the visitor is good. The one behind me is Qitu Town."

  Jiang Li was still sitting on the edge of the well, and pointed to the big town of Qitu behind him.

   "Little brother, don't want to make a joke on me. How could this be Qitu Town? It's just that I was here a year ago. How could Qitu Town fall to this place in a year?"

  The middle-aged man didn't believe it. He stated with certainty that he had been here not long ago. He also described the bustling and bustling crowd, and he insisted that this is definitely not Qitu Town.

  Jiang Li stared at his expression carefully, not like lying.

   But from the intelligence point of view, this small town has been abandoned for twenty years.

  Jiang Li turned his head and looked at the small town behind him, his eyes gleaming with jealousy and curiosity.

  "Little brother, don’t lie to me waiting. If you know where Qitu Town is, I’ll wait for you to ask for directions, that’s all..."

   Seeing that Jiang Li ignored him, the middle-aged man was slightly agitated because of the heat and thirst, and the tone of his speech became not so pleasant.

   "Uncle An, what's wrong?"

  Seeing that the middle-aged people here asked for directions, but there was no result. A young woman in blue skirt got out of the carriage and asked here.

  The woman's waist is also accompanied by a delicate long sword, which looks very expensive and quite feminine. But if you look closely at her palm, you can see that her hand is smooth and tender without any calluses. It looks like a hand that has held a sword.

  The middle-aged man surnamed Na'an heard this and stopped asking Jiang Li, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and ran back.

  "Miss, that kid is talking nonsense, saying that this is Qitu Town, and he refuses to show us the way, what shall we do?"

  The woman in the blue skirt looked at Jiang Li's side, and then at the sun's rays on the horizon. Obviously, it is no longer suitable to continue on the road.

   "It's getting late, so we shouldn't leave anymore. Let's go to this deserted town to clean up our houses and rest for one night, and then we will head to Qitu Town tomorrow morning."

  The young lady spoke, and the guards in the convoy were relieved, and the convoy drove slowly into the town.

   "This young master, can you give the old man and granddaughter a well? The sun is so hot in the day, and the old man is really thirsty."

  Waiting for the convoy to drive into the city, Jiang Li saw that there was a pair of grandsons and a donkey behind the convoy.

  The old man led the donkey to ask for water, and his granddaughter sat quietly on the donkey.

   Jiang Li glanced at him blankly, ignored his request, got up and walked towards the town.

  The old man looked at Jiang Li's back and seemed to show a little regretful expression.

   Then he walked to the well, turned the wooden roller on the well, and pulled up the rope under the well little by little.

  In the dim well, what was pulled up by the rope was not a bucket, but a skeleton that had also been turned into bones.

  At this moment, the last uniform sunlight disappeared between heaven and earth.

  The skeleton whose neck was hung by a rope was transformed into a long-haired female ghost who was brutally tortured to death by torture and bite marks at the moment when the mouth of the well was exposed.

  The female ghost opened her eyes fiercely, her dark tears streaming down, she was about to pounce on her grandson in front of her.

  But in the next moment, the old man grabbed the female ghost's neck with one hand, and then slapped the ghost into flying ashes.

  The old man threw the corpse that had been reconverted into a skeleton, as if it was just a trash, and then led the donkey to the town.

   "The old man is thirsty. He didn't drink water. The old man is thirsty."

  Jiang Li, who entered the town, and the merchant fleet in front of him.

  As night fell, they walking in the city suddenly heard the noise of people in front of them. Looking along the street, they saw bright lights and crowds of people in front.

  Hurry forward for a moment, and I saw a bustling street market.

  Street merchants kept selling, and pedestrians kept coming and going on the road. This is a dilapidated and dead town, isn't this just the prosperous Qitu Town.

  "Miss, this is this, this is this!"

   "My old man and I, the jade jewelry and silk satin that I changed here years ago!"

  "The prices here are very cheap. As long as you go back and change hands, you can sell it for ten times the price! Now Anjia can be saved, now Anjia can be saved!"

  The woman in the blue dress got out of the carriage, and she was thrilled to see the lively scene in front of her.

  An family is a merchant family in the nearby kingdom. Although the family is not very large, it can be regarded as rich.

  A year ago, his father and his eldest brother went out for business together. They also strayed into the Qitu Town as they do today, and bought many high-quality jade silks and satins. After returning to the sale, he made a fortune.

  It's just that the good times didn't last long. After the incident, his father and eldest brother contracted serious illnesses and died. Without support from the family, they soon suffered malicious targeting by other families.

  The business at home has plummeted, and he was deliberately set on fire, losing a batch of important goods and causing heavy losses.

  Only less than a year, this settlement will not be able to sustain it.

  At this time, the housekeeper who was given the surname Ann suddenly suggested that if he could take another trip to Qitu Town, he might be able to save the entire Anjia.

  He just stayed in the town for a while, and was arranged to guard the horses, but the prosperity here was still deeply engraved in his mind.

  "Okay, there is an inn in front of Uncle An, you take someone to ask for a few rooms to park the carriage, I will check the price..."

  At this moment, Jiang Li also walked over from behind.

  He looked at the excitement of everyone in the team, and looked at the ghosts around him.

  Unexpectedly, there could be a ghost market in such a place.

  Buying things in the ghost market is spent on vitality, not silver or gold, can it be “cheap”?

   "Hey, this little brother, sorry, we blamed you just now, thank you for showing us the way!"

  The woman in the blue dress found Jiang Li coming from the back, and she actually apologized proactively.

  Jiang Li took a look at her, slightly surprised, and rarely showed kindness. He took out a small bag of mine jade scraps from his arms and threw it over.

   "If you want to buy something here, just use this, don't be greedy, just leave after you buy it."

  I didn’t pay much attention to it after finishing talking, UU reading www.uukanshu.com walked along the ghost market of Hyakki Nights.

   "This is... Broken jade? It's a pure texture."

  The woman in the blue skirt unwrapped the cloth bag in a puzzled way. Inside were pieces of jade that had been cut off.

The jade produced by the spirit stone mine vein is not much different from the stone weeds in the realm of immortality, but in the mortal kingdom, it is a first-class jade, and a small bag is enough to exchange for one. Four into the house.

  She quickly raised her head to look for Jiang Li again, and she had an idea in her heart that she could give this kind of thing at will. If she just marries, it doesn’t seem to be a bad thing.

  But in such a short time, Jiang Li had already disappeared from her sight.

  Jiang Li was walking in the ghost market at this time, and he also held a large bag of broken spirit mine jade in his hand.

  It is clear that it is to bully this group of ghosts and have no knowledge, and directly use the worthless broken jade as a spiritual stone, and buy everything that can be eye-catching.
