Chapter 311 You can take Yang Qi, but you are not allowed to kiss

Chapter 311 You can take Yang Qi, but you are not allowed to kiss.

"The weather is dry, be careful of fire..."

A gong sounded on the old city wall.

The ink-like darkness engulfed the surroundings, with only a pale lantern hanging on the city gate tower, illuminating a small circle of light several feet in radius.

An old lady with a hunched back and staggering steps walked into the city gate in a black robe, holding a basket covered with black cloth in her hand.

When they reached the city gate, a baby suddenly cried out from the basket, "Wa——"

The sharp cry was very piercing.

"Oh... the baby is awake." The old woman said in a coaxing tone: "Don't cry, don't cry, if you cry again, grandma will give you food."

The crying sound suddenly stopped.

I don’t know whether she used some other means or the child understood the polar reversal between “eating milk” and “grandma eats”.

At the city gate was sitting a skinny old man holding a club. When the old woman passed by him, she nodded, and the skinny old man nodded in response.

After a while.

In the darkness ahead, another tall and thin figure came over. When passing by the old man, he stopped and asked, "Grandpa, I want to get some infant spirit blood. Is there any at the market today?"

It was a feminine masculine voice, and as he spoke, a bright red tongue fell from the shadow of the hood and swung back and forth.

“The old lady cat just brought a cat in. I don’t know if they have set up a stall or not. You can go and have a look.” The old man called Taigong nodded his chin.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

The long tongue thanked him and walked into the dark old city.

Then, three more people walked out of the darkness.

These three people were also covered in the ghost market's standard black robes, with hoods blocking their faces, making it impossible to see their faces and body shapes at all.

But it can still be seen that the person in front is extremely handsome.

The old man looked at the three men and raised his eyebrows.

Li Chu came here after walking out of the "Gates of Hell". Seeing the old man sitting at the city gate, his eyes paused for a moment, but he didn't look at him any further.

Just go over there.

Suddenly, the old man called out, "Stop."

The three of them stopped and Li Chu turned around.

The old man asked, "Why go in?"

"Buying things." Li Chu replied.

"What to buy?" the old man asked again

"Medicine." Li Chu answered again.

"What medicine did you buy?" the old man asked again.

"Life-saving medicine." Li Chu answered again.

The old man narrowed his eyes, his gaze like a knife, and looked between the three people. After a moment, he said, "After entering the door, go east. There is a little girl selling life-saving medicine at a stall."

"Thank you very much."

Li Chu thanked him and turned to leave.

The old man looked at their backs, thought for a moment, suddenly stood up and walked into the darkness.

This darkness was like sea water. As soon as the old man entered it, he seemed to have become a fish, and his figure instantly swam away into the distance.

There seemed to be two lanterns hanging high in front. When I got closer, I found that they were actually a pair of eyes.

A pair of magical eyes that can see through the heavens and the underworld.

I guess you need a body as big as a mountain to have such big eyes.

"Master Tongyou." The old man saw those eyes and immediately landed respectfully. "I just saw three people entering the market. There seems to be something wrong with them..."

"oh?"

The terrifying existence in the darkness just let out a light groan, and huge waves seemed to roll around it.

"But there's nothing wrong with me."

"But..." The old man hesitated, "I have been guarding the ghost market for more than a hundred years. I can recognize people like this at a glance..."

"Then!" Lord Tongyou interrupted him: "It's you who is wrong."

"Ah this..." The old man was stunned.

"In short, don't provoke them."

Lord Tongyou's voice seemed to contain a hint of anger.

The old man didn't dare to argue anymore and turned away obediently.

Tongyou is a relic of the ancient times.

His ancestors were once divine beasts with powerful innate abilities, namely, "knowing ghosts and gods" and being able to see through many things that ordinary people cannot see.

It is precisely because of this kind of innate magical power that Tongyou was chosen to guard the ghost market.

With it, no one with bad intentions can sneak into this ghost market.

I was actually questioning Lord Tongyou's ability to understand ghosts and gods... After the old man left, I couldn't help but feel annoyed by my stupidity.

…

After Li Chu and his companions entered the city gate tower of the Ghost Market, they followed the old man's instructions and walked eastward.

On both sides of the road, there were many stalls covered with old animal skins, which were far apart from each other, at least five or six feet apart.

The people behind the stalls were also wearing black robes, so their appearances could not be seen clearly. Except for some really weird-looking ones, all human-shaped ones looked similar.

There aren't many people like Li Chu who can still look handsome even when his body is covered and his face is hidden...

Although there were many stalls and many customers coming and going, the atmosphere here was still desolate and cold. A thin mist was everywhere and darkness was the background color of everything. Everyone huddled together and talked in low voices. There was almost no sound.

As for the things displayed in the stalls, they were even more bizarre.

The broken limbs, eyeballs, tongues, and internal organs of various creatures... these are just the ordinary ones. There are also some jars and cans with labels saying "Yellow Spring Water", "Rice in Front of the Grave", "Ashes of the Great Power"... and other strange things that together can make a meal.

There were also fish that kept kowtowing on land, dead monkeys with talismans stuck all over their bodies... The most eye-catching thing was a lonely human head lying on the ground, its eyes rolling around, and it kept shouting for help.

I don't know who would buy this kind of thing.

As for talismans, magical instruments, and strange objects, they were too numerous to count, but the three of them didn't recognize most of them.

They were not very curious about this, they just wanted to quickly find the life-saving medicine that tied up Wang Longqi's father.

Without stopping, we soon found a stall.

There were a few medicinal herbs on the stall, but each had yellow paper pasted on it with one's birth date written on it.

It was exactly the same life-saving elixir as described by the spider spirit.

This should be it.

They looked at the stall owner, slightly confused.

The old man called this a little girl? The one sitting behind the stall, judging by the curvature of her figure, could be seen to be a woman... one could even say that she had a pretty good figure. But on her head was a huge fish head. It was covered with green scales and protruding fins, and even the hood couldn't cover it.

A mermaid with a fish head and a human body? The mermaid turned her head when she saw someone coming.

Of course, this is not disrespectful, but because the eyes of the fish head are on the side.

"What do you want?" it asked.

Judging from the voice, it is indeed a woman's voice.

Wang Longqi leaned over and looked carefully at the four life-saving herbs on the stall. He scanned the birth dates on them and pointed at one of them, saying excitedly, "This birth date is my father's!"

No wonder he was excited.

After all this traveling, he finally found the result. As long as he got this herb, at least his father's life could be saved temporarily.

As for how to remove the curse, that is a question for later.

Li Chu looked at the four life-saving herbs and said, "I want them all."

"Oh?" The fishman looked at them, "This life-saving medicine was collected from the Medicine Goddess. It's all mature and very expensive."

"Name your price." Li Chu said calmly.

They are already mature, which means that each of these life-saving medicines represents a human life and must not fall into the hands of evil spirits.

That's why his tone was very firm.

"I want..." The fishman's big eyes rolled, "Four ghosts of Xuanyin Kuishui."

Li Chu answered without hesitation: "No."

No matter what the Xuanyin Kuishui fate is, it is impossible for it to trade with ghosts.

Since it is a barter market, it is normal that you cannot get what you need at the moment, so there must be more than one demand for setting up stalls.

When the fishman heard that he didn't have any, he changed his words and said, "Then forty beautiful women's faces, they must be freshly peeled within seven days."

Li Chu frowned slightly, "No."

The fishman also seemed a little unhappy.

It added: "Then it needs a heart of a dragonborn, at least a second-generation blood descendant of a true dragon."

this……

There actually is one in Deyun Temple, and it is a real dragon.

Just a little smaller and a little fatter...

Of course it is impossible to give it.

After all, these things it talks about are not things that can be obtained through formal means, and it is impossible for them to do such things.

So Li Chu shook his head again and said, "I don't have this either."

There was clear impatience in the fishman's big eyes.

At first, I thought you were a rich man from your tone of voice, but you don't have this or that. Are you trying to get something for free? Are you going to give me a "next time"? It said unhappily, "Why come to the ghost market when you don't have anything? The last thing I want is the yang energy of a living person! If you don't have anything else, don't ask me again."

Li Chumeifeng gathered together.

In fact, it was his first time in the ghost market and the situation was unclear, so he didn't want to cause trouble...so he had planned a full twenty taels of silver for this operation.

If the transaction can be completed within this limit, everyone will be happy.

As it is now, the other party doesn't want any money at all and the deal can't be concluded, so we can only resort to some impolite means.

“Hey.”

Wang Longqi next to him suddenly pulled him and held his shoulders.

Then Wang Longqi turned around and whispered, "Li Chu, don't be anxious. This is our first time here, and everything is unclear. We should try to talk if we can. If not... Sigh."

He looked like he was enduring humiliation and was about to make some great sacrifice.

After saying that.

Wang Longqi looked at the ferocious fish head with a woman's body and said through gritted teeth: "Yang Qi, I can give it to you!"

"But I have a request..."

"When you take the Yang Qi, you have to wear a mask..."

"and……"

"No kissing."
