Chapter 337: Feast of Living Souls
The skinny ghost struggled and whimpered, "Mmm! You are also... a living person... mmm!"
When they arrived at the place, Jiang Ci let go of him and revealed his identity directly, "My last name is Jiang."
"What's wrong with your last name being Jiang? There's nothing great about having the last name Jiang!" the skinny ghost said angrily.
Jiang Ci said calmly: "Jiang Ci's Jiang."
"What's the Jiang in Jiang Ci? I don't know!" The skinny ghost just said it, and suddenly thought of something, his face suddenly changed, "Jiang Ci...?"
"You are... Lady Jiang?" The thin ghost looked her up and down, with a look of disbelief on his face. "A hundred years ago, I had the honor of meeting Lady Jiang once in the largest ghost market. She was much prettier than you!"
Baichuan's eyes lit up.
Jiang Ci didn't say anything, just raised his hand.
A totem of flames wrapped around red spider lilies appeared in his palm.
The moment he saw the totem, the thin ghost was shocked and knelt down in a hurry, saying in a very respectful tone, "I pay my respects to Lord Jiang!"
"Get up."
"Yes..." The thin ghost said tremblingly, "I didn't know that Lord Jiang was coming to inspect, but Lord Jiang, don't worry, I definitely didn't sell any contraband!"
Bai Chuan was shocked and said, "You even sold eyeballs and heads, what other contraband items are you not allowed to sell?"
The thin ghost was too cautious to speak.
Jiang Ci took out the photo and asked him, "Have you seen the doll in the picture?"
The thin ghost took a closer look and said, "Yes, I have seen it. I sold it to you last month."
Jiang Cixin said, "As expected," and continued to ask, "Who bought it?"
The skinny ghost was so excited when he talked about this, "Master Jiang, let me tell you, the customer who bought the doll is so handsome!"
"Oh my god, I've been setting up a stall in the ghost market for so many years, and I've seen all kinds of dead ghosts, but this man is the only one who looks as handsome as a god!"
Bai Chuan couldn't bear to look at it and said, "Brother, wipe your drool."
The thin ghost chuckled, but after noticing Jiang Ci's cold gaze, he quickly restrained himself and said seriously, "He didn't bargain with me at the time. He just picked up a doll, paid for it, and left."
"I asked you this?" Jiang Ci said, "What does he look like?"
"She looks very pretty, with red lips and white teeth, and she's wearing ancient costumes. I guess she's an ancient ghost!"
"Oh, right!" The skinny ghost suddenly remembered something. "He has a sword on his back! He must be a swordsman!"
"Sword?" Jiang Ci pondered for a moment, then used his mobile phone to draw a sword for the thin ghost to see.
"Is it this sword?"
The thin ghost took one look and nodded in surprise: "Yes, yes, it is this sword. This sword is much more beautiful than those antiques on the stall. I can recognize it at a glance. It is this one!"
Jiang Ci lowered his eyes slightly.
Bai Chuan noticed that she was not in a good mood and asked, "Master Jiang, what's wrong? There is something wrong with the sword."
"The Tai Chi Sword was given to him by me..."
How could it fall into the hands of a man?
Jiang Ci continued to ask, but the thin ghost could not answer anything.
"Then take another look at these people. Have you seen them here before?"
She showed him the photos of the seven missing people.
The skinny ghost recognized him, but he hesitated and didn't dare to say anything.
"explain."
The thin ghost carefully pointed to the end of the ghost market and said, "Master Jiang, please go over there and take a look. I dare not say more. After all, I still have to continue to hang out in the ghost market in the future."
Jiang Ci frowned and took Baichuan in that direction.
"Master Jiang, could this be a trap?" Baichuan asked worriedly.
"Ghost markets of all sizes have managers, but not every manager is a good person." Jiang Ci explained, "If you want to be the boss of a ghost market and manage all kinds of ghosts, it's impossible without some skills."
"The manager of the ghost market here must be a cruel and ruthless person, otherwise why would an old-timer like the skinny ghost be so afraid."
Baichuan sighed: "It turns out that life after death is also so miserable."
"Souls that die normally will report to the underworld and wait for their reincarnation. Most of those who hang around in the ghost market don't want to be reincarnated, so they do this kind of business to make a living."
As they talked, they came to the end.
What I saw right in front of me was a large Chinese-style courtyard, with two little ghosts in soldiers' clothes guarding the door.
As soon as Jiang Ci walked over, the little ghost yelled, "Get out of here! No one can come in without the administrator's summons—"
Bang!
Jiang Ci turned around and slapped him with a big fan.
The little ghost was fanned directly into the crack of the wall and couldn't get out even if he tried to dig himself out.
Seeing this, the other one wanted to run in and report the news.
Jiang Ci grabbed him, rolled him up into a ball and threw him away, then took Baichuan into the courtyard.
Although Baichuan knew that she was tough, he didn't expect her to be so tough!
Following Master Jiang, I feel very safe.
This courtyard is very large and looks extremely luxurious.
The two saw many ghosts walking towards the back hall.
The two quickly followed.
I could vaguely hear them talking.
"I heard that the guests invited this time can taste different delicacies than before."
"I also heard that the administrator created a new recipe. I'm looking forward to it!"
“I’m drooling just thinking about it!”
Everyone was talking.
The two followed the team and successfully mixed into the back hall, and found a corner to sit down.
Several little ghosts appeared, pushing a long table and placing it in the middle of the back hall. A naked young girl was lying on the table, with all kinds of exquisite food on her body.
But these foods are disgusting...
"It's Li Shanshan!" Bai Chuan recognized her at a glance and was about to step forward when the manager appeared.
The manager was a burly man with muscular body, looking very fierce.
He smiled sinisterly and said to everyone, "Everyone has tasted the delicacy three days ago. Today, let's taste her living soul."
"Now that you have enjoyed the Feast of Living Souls, please enjoy it to your heart's content!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the ghosts rushed to the table to admire them.
Jiang Ci leaped forward and pulled off the white tablecloth to cover Li Shanshan's body.
The ghosts were unhappy, "What are we going to appreciate if you cover her up?"
"That's right, take the white cloth away!"
Jiang Ci simply glanced at Li Shanshan. She seemed to be completely unconscious, with a smile on her face. She just lay there quietly and let the ghosts devour her.
"Mr. Manager, look at her!" Someone was dissatisfied and complained to the manager in the main seat.
The manager stood up and was half a meter taller than the other ghosts, and only then did he notice that the food was covered with a white cloth.
He frowned and said in a thunderous voice, "Who told you to cover it? You are not my guest, are you?"
Jiang Ci asked him back: "Her body was eaten by you?"
The manager laughed, "So you wanted to eat a living person, but you came too late. Yes, her flesh has already entered your stomach."
The evil ghosts in the hall came from all directions. No wonder she predicted that they would be scattered all over the place when she was fortune-telling.
