Chapter 151 No Regrets
No regrets once the chess piece is placed on the board.
Mu Liushui held the black piece and said lightly, "Don't be obsessed, I'm not the person you are looking for."
Chao Fuyun: "I can tell whether it is right or wrong."
Mu Liushui sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"The umbrella can't keep away the evil spirits for long. If you stay in the ghost market for too long, you won't be able to leave." He said with a warning.
Chao Fuyun looked at him steadily, "So, you don't want to go with us because you can't get out?"
Mu Liushui lowered his eyelids, neither confirming nor denying.
He dropped the black chess piece he was holding with his fingertips, and the game ended in a draw.
He stood up, smoothed the wrinkles on the corner of his clothes, and picked up the green umbrella in the corner.
"It's time." He said lightly.
At this time, Ye Xingzhou had just finished wiping one hundred and eleven wooden signs.
During this time, he saw the wooden sign that belonged to him, but did not find Mu Liushui's.
Ye Xingzhou began to look up from time to time to observe the round mouth that was filled with ghostly aura.
The big wolf's claws suddenly scratched the floor.
Ye Xingzhou withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace.
Mu Liushui's footsteps were silent and he was already behind him.
"I have to go out for a while, and I'll leave the pawn shop in your care for the time being."
"No one is allowed to open the pawnshop until I come back."
His voice was as clear and pleasant as before, and there was a seriousness and a hint of reminder in his words.
Ye Xingzhou nodded, "I remember."
Mu Liushui's figure holding an umbrella disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
As he left, the pawnshop door automatically turned into a wall.
There were no windows in the house, and the only light was from burning candles.
A soundproof barrier enveloped Ye Xingzhou.
"Second Junior Brother hasn't lost his memory." Chao Fuyun stood up from the chessboard.
Ye Xingzhou was surprised, "Then why is he pretending not to know us?"
"It has something to do with the pawnshop's contract." Chao Fuyun expressed his guess.
"He said before that to regain his memory, he would need to use his lifespan or sign a contract with a pawn shop."
"I guess that Second Junior Brother was forced to pawn his memories for some reason. Later, when he wanted to get them back, the previous shop owner only mentioned the contract with the pawnshop."
Chao Fuyun's guess makes sense.
"So, he pretended not to know us because he didn't want to involve us."
Ye Xingzhou propped up his head and changed the subject, "But, Senior Brother, how can you be sure that Second Brother hasn't lost his memory?"
"Intuition." Chao Fuyun said in a deep voice, "If he really had lost his memory, Second Junior Brother would never be so soft-hearted as to bring us into the pawnshop."
Ye Xingzhou raised his head and glanced at the circular mouth. The ghostly aura that permeated the area had disappeared without him noticing.
"Big Brother, did you go out and inquire today and get any news about the previous store owner?"
Chao Fuyun nodded, "After the previous owner transferred the pawnshop to Second Junior Brother, he regained his human form and left the ghost world."
So, based on the current situation, I have to transfer the pawn shop contract to the next person before I can leave the ghost world?
It's like transferring a curse.
No wonder the eldest brother had to build a barrier before telling him this.
Ye Xingzhou scratched his head. "I also heard some information from the vengeful spirits. If you make a contract with a vengeful spirit, the living will become half-human, and the vengeful spirit will be upgraded to half-ghost."
"There's another place, at the end of the ghost market, where living people can't enter. Second Brother always goes there when he goes out."
At this point, Ye Xingzhou paused, "Big Brother, every time, Second Brother would wipe all the wooden signs before going out. Just now, it was the same. As soon as I finished wiping, he seemed to sense it and was about to go out. Do you think Second Brother's going there is related to the wooden signs?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Chao Fuyun looked up at the circular mouth. At this time, a wooden sign floated up and flew into the circular mouth.
Placed together with the wooden plaque was a jade pendant that was broken and pieced together.
It can be seen that the owner of the jade pendant has a very interesting story.
At this moment, the stone wall suddenly broke with a loud bang.
The vengeful spirits were like crazy, trying madly to squeeze into the big mouth.
"Aura, I want aura!"
Countless resentful spirits repeated this sentence, the harsh voices overlapping and making people feel annoyed.
Black and dirty.
Chao Fuyun immediately set up a double-layer barrier.
Ye Xingzhou looked at the vengeful spirits that were frantically crashing into the barrier and frowned slightly, "Big Brother, these vengeful spirits are more than twice as powerful as the ones that were wandering around before."
"Also, they seem to be fighting over the wooden signs."
If the collision continues like this, the barrier will shatter soon, which will really consume spiritual energy.
Ye Xingzhou took out the jade bead that Chao Fuyun had given him earlier and exchanged it with him.
"Big Brother, the responsibility of protecting me is now on you."
"rest assured."
Chao Fuyun did not hesitate. The moment he crushed the jade bead, a more solid golden barrier was established, wrapping around the wooden sign and Ye Xingzhou.
And he, holding a sword, broke through the siege.
The sword turns into ice to block the gap.
Cutting the sword towards Ning was like chopping a watermelon. The vengeful spirits only knew how to attack and not how to defend. In a short while, all the vengeful spirits that were rushing around were dealt with.
In the face of absolute strength, when Chao Ning's sword came out, the demented vengeful spirit barely regained some sanity and weakened its attack.
No vengeful spirit can withstand such a beating.
The vengeful spirits receded like the tide, and the damaged wall gradually turned into a wooden door.
The vengeful spirit that just banged on the door and tried to snatch the wooden sign seemed like a non-existent dream.
Mu Liushui came with an umbrella, his thin figure swaying slightly.
Ye Xingzhou raised his eyes to look above his head, and the round mouth began to emit ghostly energy again.
When Mu Liushui came back this time, his face was a little paler.
He pushed open the door, sat down on the chair as if relieved of stress, rubbed his eyebrows, and looked a little tired.
"You all saw it just now."
"I saw it." Ye Xingzhou did not deny it.
"Let's go, this is not a place for you to stay." Mu Liushui advised again.
Ye Xingzhou shook his head and took out a top-grade spirit stone and placed it on the table.
"I'd like to rent a pawn shop here. Does the owner have any recommendations for friendly ghosts?"
Upon hearing this, Chao Fuyun instantly turned his head to look at Ye Xingzhou, as if he had not expected him to say that.
Mu Liushui paused while rubbing his brows, "Yes, you can go to the East Lane to find it."
After a few times, Ye Xingzhou found that once it was related to a transaction, Mu Liushui could not refuse.
This pawn shop has certain rules and regulations.
However, in the current situation, this kind of rule restriction makes it easier for him to find bugs.
He has plenty of spirit stones.
Ye Xingzhou continued to ask the second question, "What is the connection between the wooden sign in the store and the half-human, half-ghost land?"
Mu Liushui: "Every time the wooden sign is absorbed, the half-human, half-ghost will transform."
"You collected the wooden token. Did it change with the memory of the token?"
Mu Liushui pursed his lips.
Ye Xingzhou was right.
Therefore, every time Mu Liushui went out after wiping the wooden sign, he became the owner of the sign and repeated the joys, sorrows and joys in his memory.
While thinking, Mu Liushui hung a wooden sign under the eaves of the wooden door.
Ye Xingzhou took out another spirit stone, but Mu Liushui refused it lightly this time.
"Sir, no pawning today."
"All right."
Ye Xingzhou changed his tone, "But you didn't answer my third question. Does that mean I can ask another one?"
"...But." Mu Liushui had a headache.
Ye Xingzhou: "Third question, where is your memory plaque?"
Mu Liushui: "Half human, half ghost."
"Thank you very much."
Ye Xingzhou felt a little disappointed when he saw the words "Closed" on the wooden sign.
Judging from the way he asked, Mu Liushui would have to hang up a closing sign for the next few days.
It just happened to suit his taste.
As soon as he left the pawnshop, he said to Fuyun, "Junior brother, why didn't you discuss this with me just now?"
"This wasn't a last-minute thought." Ye Xingzhou sneered as he gazed at Fuyun with a deathly gaze. "Big Brother, do you believe me when I said the first question was just a test?"
Chao Fuyun looked at Ye Xingzhou without saying a word.
Ye Xingzhou touched his nose and said, "Big Brother, I have you to protect me, so I can relax."
It's not that he hasn't thought about redeeming his memory and transferring the store contract to himself.
However, pawnshops have rules and restrictions, and the store cannot refuse the customer's request under the premise of the transaction.
What if Mu Liushui refuses?
If there is a backlash, it will not be worth it.
It’s better to take a risk and go to the half-human, half-ghost place to find Mu Liushui’s wooden sign in person.
