Chapter 152: When trading, the ghost cannot lie
"Then I should go too." Chao Fuyun said.
Since you are the eldest brother, there is no reason for you to hide behind and push the younger brother into danger.
"Big Brother, if the evil spirit is on your clothes, it would be so dirty." After Ye Xingzhou said this, his calm expression stiffened for a moment.
This feeling is like being possessed by a vengeful spirit.
I feel uncomfortable all over and just want to change clothes.
"I'm only in the late Qi Refining stage. Even if I make a contract with a vengeful spirit, it won't be able to absorb much spiritual energy." Ye Xingzhou continued, "Big Brother, you can protect me outside. Besides, you and Second Brother have known each other for many years, so you can persuade him."
He also didn't expect the two of them to openly reveal their identities and recognize each other.
What I am saying now is just to let Mu Liushui hear it and then confess it.
"Big Brother, just wait for me in the pawn shop. I'll be back soon."
Ye Xingzhou said this, but his steps were slow and he glanced towards the pawn shop from time to time.
Mu Liushui revealed the fact that he had memories the moment he was soft-hearted.
If you can be soft-hearted once, you can be soft-hearted twice.
Even without resorting to some self-torture tactics and risking his own life, Mu Liushui would never confess.
Just after Ye Xingzhou hesitated for two minutes, he saw a piece of green clothing swaying slightly at the corner.
Mu Liushui's pleasant voice was accompanied by a light sigh.
"Once you make a contract with a vengeful spirit, it will be difficult to break the contract later."
His figure emerged from behind the wall, just as when we first met, he was wearing a green robe and holding an umbrella, his slender white fingers gripping the wooden handle, smooth and elegant.
"Second brother, you finally came out." Ye Xingzhou smiled.
Mu Liushui used his spiritual sense to sense the smile on Ye Xingzhou's face and felt helpless.
How come Master accepted such a clever guy?
Mu Liushui didn't deny Ye Xingzhou's address this time, "You just deliberately asked me to put up the closed sign."
"Hehe, Second Brother is really smart."
Once the closure sign is hung, transactions will stop, and there will be no limit on the number of questions Ye Xingzhou can ask.
He is such a clever fellow.
Ye Xingzhou praised his own wit once again. This time, he asked confidently, "Second Brother, what happened to those vengeful spirits that banged their heads against the wall and snatched the wooden signs after you left?"
"The ghosts snatched the wooden signs in order to become shadows."
Mu Liushui's voice deepened as he spoke, "The vengeful spirit has no body. If the wooden token is stolen, the vengeful spirit will take on the identity of the token's owner and escape from the ghost world."
"I'm guarding the pawnshop. There's one way to escape, which is to clear my memory of all the wooden signs in the pawnshop."
Mu Liushui lowered her head slightly, and a strand of hair loosely tied up with a wooden hairpin fell down along her shoulders.
"You shouldn't have gotten involved."
Chao Fuyun interrupted him as he wanted to fight alone, "Are you sure you can clear the memory of the wooden sign? Those vengeful spirits have already broken through the pawn shop."
Mu Liushui pursed his lips lightly, "At least it won't involve anyone else."
He frowned at Fuyun, "Have you ever thought about being devoured by the vengeful spirit?"
He was answered by a long silence.
Can't wait.
If Mu Liushui is dragged down alone, the only result he will face is staying in the ghost world forever.
Memories contain both joy and sorrow, and when faced with strong emotional fluctuations, even the owner of the memory cannot withstand it.
What's more, it was Mu Liushui. He had to bear the memories of so many people alone. It was a blessing that he was not driven crazy.
He fixed his eyes on Fuyun and said, "You confess everything on your own initiative, or I force you to tell me."
"Don't be like this, Big Brother."
Mu Liushui turned his head and asked Ye Xingzhou for help.
"Junior brother, please persuade the senior brother."
Now I know where to seek help.
Ye Xingzhou turned his head and whistled to tease the big wolf, but did not say anything.
Let him not confess voluntarily at first and pretend not to know them.
As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. No matter how big the problem is, three people can always find a solution faster than one person can.
Now that the blood is suppressed and under control, Mu Liushui will seek help.
Your eldest brother is always your eldest brother.
"Come back to the pawnshop with me." Mu Liushui finally relented.
"That's more like it. With us here, don't worry, Second Brother. We will definitely take you out of the ghost world."
This time, Ye Xingzhou and Chao Fuyun walked into the pawnshop with their heads held high and their chests puffed out.
Mu Liushui filled two cups of tea with the aroma of tea and mist, and he slowly spoke.
"Half a year ago, when I was traveling and passing by West City, I noticed that there was a formation hidden in the ground of West City."
"The formation is capable of suppressing extraordinary things, yet the monarch has embarked on a massive construction project, building the Moon-Watching Tower at the center of the formation. This has weakened the formation."
"A stone statue of a demon beast emerged from the center of the formation. After the king worshipped it, many children were born into the palace."
"The common people followed suit, and those who did so gained more or less children."
"The stone statue has an evil aura, and the core of the formation is becoming increasingly loose."
"I wanted to investigate the formation's core, so I chose to act at night."
Mu Liushui took a sip of tea, and his voice became more emotional.
"That night, I saw many babies. They were all descendants who came to worship the stone statue. They were surrounding the statue and gazing at the moon."
"I looked into the eyes of the stone statue and felt a desire to kill."
"Sealing the memory doesn't work. The murderous aura still can't be suppressed."
"Then it became what you see today." Mu Liushui continued, "When I was traveling, I once visited a ghost market and learned that there was a pawnshop here where you could pawn memories."
"The previous owner said the stone statue was evil and that only by cleansing its memory could it wash away its murderous aura. He can save me, but only in exchange for the pawnshop contract."
The tea has gone cold, and the evening water has put down the cup.
"My memory plaque is in the half-human, half-ghost land. If I leave the ghost world, I will forget my memories. Besides, I have a contract now and cannot leave."
He had never thought about finding someone to transfer the contract to get out of this situation.
Let’s put the issue of controlling the stone statue’s eyes aside for now. The problem now is how to get people out of the ghost world.
Ye Xingzhou pondered for a while, "What would happen if I killed the contracted ghost?"
Mu Liushui: "I will die too."
Asked Chao Fuyun, "Is there any way to cancel the contract?"
Mu Liushui shook his head.
The moment he signed the contract with the pawnshop, the shop gave him the ability to pawn things of value, but he was also bound to the shop's vengeful spirit.
"What if I get your memory tablet back?" Ye Xingzhou asked.
"I don't know." Mu Liushui shook his head.
Now that the business is closed, it is not being pawned, and the vengeful spirit will not tell him the answer. When Ye Xingzhou asked about his blind spot, he naturally did not know.
Ye Xingzhou turned around, picked up the umbrella in the corner and opened it. The umbrella, dotted with the sun and blue sky, added a touch of light color to the ghost world dominated by darkness and red lanterns.
His eyes were fixed on the vengeful spirit lying on Mu Liushui's shoulder, absorbing his spiritual energy.
The vengeful spirit already had a vaguely human body, and although its facial features were blurry, it looked somewhat like flowing water in the evening.
The conversation between the few people did not make it worried or alert. It seemed to show off its pride to Ye Xingzhou and suddenly drew out another spiritual power.
"Second Brother, we can't wait any longer. Once the vengeful spirit has absorbed all your spiritual energy, it will turn into you."
The vengeful spirit wants to replace Mu Liushui.
Ye Xingzhou: "Second Brother, are there any restrictions on the amount of vengeful spirits involved in transactions?"
Mu Liushui: "When trading, the vengeful spirit cannot tell lies."
Not only Mu Liushui was restricted, but the contracted vengeful spirits were also restricted.
But there's a difference between more restrictions and fewer restrictions.
During the transaction, the vengeful spirit will tell the store owner the answer, and he can use it as a breakthrough point.
Ye Xingzhou made up his mind and signaled Mu Liushui to take down the closure sign, and then he took out a spirit stone.
"Master Wrathful Spirit, how can I kill you without hurting my brother?"
