Chapter 138 Ghost Market
The boatman took the money and said nothing. He rowed the boat away from the dock and headed towards the river.
Su Nuobai watched the black-sailed boat pass through several forks in the river and then enter another dark cave.
There was no other sound inside except the sound of oars paddling in the water.
After sailing in this dark river for about a quarter of an hour, light appeared ahead.
You can hear the bustling sounds from afar, it is even more lively here than during the Chinese New Year.
There are acrobatic troupes, stages, shadow puppet shows, and puppet shows.
When they reached the shore, the boatman stopped the boat and waited for them to get ashore, then went to the other side to line up.
Su Nuobai turned around and looked at the rows of black-sailed boats. After sending off their passengers, they would line up in the distance, waiting to send off the next passenger.
Lu Lingyan had only heard of the ghost market in Shengjing by chance, but no one had ever brought her there.
She wanted her brother to bring her here, but her brother was too busy to see anyone.
Feng Zhi looked at them and said, "There are so many people here, don't get separated, it will be difficult to find them."
Su Nuobai came to join in the fun and to see if he could find any bargains and buy some self-defense magic weapons for Feng Zhi and Xi Tianyun.
Among them, only Lu Lingyan had no martial arts skills and was not a member of the Xuanmen sect, so he took her along.
It is not convenient for a group of people to walk around here, so finally everyone agreed to meet at the pier and contact each other by voice note if there is anything.
Su Nuobai scanned the various stalls. Some of the stalls sold talisman paper, five-thunder talismans, sky-fire talismans, ice talismans, and so on.
She took a casual glance and found that the talismans here were both real and fake. The real ones were of low quality, and the fake ones were naturally nothing.
Xiao Heming asked quietly, "Are these talismans useful?"
"Do you want to buy it?" Su Nuobai asked him.
Xiao Heming shook his head: "No, I saw that he sold so much, so I was a little curious."
Su Nuobai had no intention of ruining the other person's business, so he sent a message to Xiao Heming: "This is half true and half false, don't ask too much."
Xiao and Ming immediately shut up and followed her to look at the things displayed on the stalls.
Some of these stalls look like antiques and have a strong sense of age.
Su Nuobai stopped in front of a stall and glanced at an inconspicuous black stone in the corner.
She squatted down and casually picked up a herb: "How much is this?"
Their voices have been processed and it is impossible to tell who they are.
The shopkeeper saw that there was a business coming: "One or two gold coins."
Feng Zhi didn't know what she was going to do, so he didn't dare to speak rashly.
Su Nuobai didn't bargain: "It's so expensive."
"This is Nether Grass, it's already very cheap." The shopkeeper tried hard to sell it.
Su Nuobai picked up another inconspicuous grass and said, "Give me this and that stone as a gift."
Seeing that the two things she mentioned were not worthless common herbs and stones, the shopkeeper said: "Okay."
Su Nuobai asked Feng Zhi to pay the money and take away what she wanted.
Feng Zhi walked away before speaking: "The Nether Grass is too expensive."
Su Nuobai smiled faintly: "What I bought is not the Nether Grass."
"You've heard that there's a pawn shop in Liaocheng that can grant you whatever you want, as long as you pay the price."
"Is this true?"
"Of course it's true, but this pawn shop is only visible to those who are destined to see it, and those who are not destined to see it are invisible."
"You're just talking in vain."
"That's not certain. Who knows when we might meet him?"
Su Nuobai looked at the two people walking past him. Liaocheng Pawn Shop was quite interesting.
Lu Lingyan quietly pulled her sleeve and said, "Nuonuo, is it true that what they say about wishes coming true?"
"It would be great if such a place really existed in the world. It's just a trick created by evil beings to deceive you."
Su Nuobai gave her a warning look after saying this: "Don't even think about it. These things are very evil. The greater your desire, the more likely it will come to you."
Lu Lingyan was so scared that she quickly shook her head: "I don't want to, I don't want to."
Xiao Heming looked at a man in a black robe not far away. The more he looked, the more familiar his back looked, even though the black robe covered most of his figure.
But no matter how I look at it, the way he walks seems familiar.
Su Nuobai saw him staring at the person in front of him: "What's wrong?"
"He seems to be the one who read Feng Shui for me." Xiao Heming said uncertainly.
Lu Lingyan was a little surprised: "You can see that?"
"I just think the way he walks looks familiar." Xiao Heming also thought he was seeing things.
Su Nuobai narrowed his eyes. The man in front was an evil cultivator, and he was also suffering from the backlash of the curse. The situation did not look optimistic.
It is not surprising that there are evil cultivators in the ghost market, and evil cultivators also have things they want to buy.
Lu Lingyan saw a beautiful agate bracelet on a stall and asked, "Can I buy this?"
Su Nuobai shook his head: "No."
Lu Lingyan didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at the agate bracelet with some reluctance.
But in a short while, the agate bracelet was bought by someone.
Su Nuobai glanced at the person who bought it and didn't say much.
After a round of shopping, Su Nuobai picked out a pair of jade hairpins, a treasure bowl ornament, a jade bracelet, a pair of jade pendants and a wood carving for Lu Lingyan.
Xiao Heming also put on a smug look and let Su Nuobai pick out a few things for him.
The two of them went to the dock with their things in their arms, feeling satisfied.
Miao Miao and Miao Jiang had already arrived, but Gu Yue and Bi Xing had not come out yet.
"Strange, the agreed time is almost here, why haven't Gu Yue and Bi Xing come out yet?" Miao Jiang couldn't help but frown.
Su Nuobai's eyebrows moved slightly: "You go back to the yard and wait for me first."
"Nuonuo, where are you going?" Miao Miao was a little worried.
"They are in some trouble, you go back first." Su Nuobai did not explain much.
Feng Zhi took a few people onto the black-sailed boat without saying a word.
Lu Lingyan wanted to ask, but didn't dare to speak at this time, so she could only sit quietly on the boat.
Su Nuobai found an empty corner and disappeared on the spot.
Some of the cultivators noticed something and turned around to see where she was, but they found nothing.
When Su Nuobai appeared again, he was at the edge of the ghost market.
This location is very clever. One step back is the ghost market, and one step forward is out of the ghost market.
And now this place is shrouded in darkness, like a barrier.
He stepped into the darkness, and the scene inside instantly changed into a jungle.
There were two forks in the road in front of where she was standing, and the rest of the road was blocked by tall trees, making it impossible to see or penetrate.
This was interesting. She randomly found a path and walked inside leisurely, while the scenery behind her changed rapidly.
The original jungle disappeared, replaced by endless darkness and green spots of light moving inside.
