Jin Banwei and the others were blown directly into Yinjie City by a gust of wind, and the one who took action was naturally Bai Lian, who was so angry that his veins were bulging.
Bai Lian must be very regretful for not staying in the tombstone to rest, but crawling out to provoke Leng Xiangying, the plague god.
Leng Xiangying is unpopular, partly because other people are jealous of her, and partly because she is indeed a bit rude.
Leng Xiangying only protects those she likes and those she doesn't like. She has never worked hard to build relationships with even her colleagues and is lazy. In addition, she protects ghost kings like Ren Qiao, so naturally more and more people dislike her.
She didn't care, but Ren Qiao was a little worried about her: "Officer Shen, is this really okay? That Yin Marshal seems very angry."
"What's the big deal? It's not like he just started to hate me today."
After all, in Bai Lian's eyes, she is a competitor.
The most blatant person pursuing Leng Siqing in the underworld is Bai Lian Yin Shuai, who is in a young boy's appearance. It's not that Leng Siqing likes him that much, but he looks really young.
Leng Siqing would usually reject other suitors openly, and occasionally she would say a few harsh words when she got annoyed.
But facing Bai Lian was a little awkward. Leng Siqing liked children. Bai Lian usually used his soul power to maintain an older appearance, but he was only thirteen years old when he died, and his real appearance was much younger. He relied on his young appearance to frequently approach her, and was very good at crying and saying soft words. He was obviously thousands of years old, but he pretended to be a puppy that was not even a month old and wagged his tail at Leng Siqing for mercy.
Leng Siqing was very patient with children. Of course, since he used this to get close to people, it was doomed that he would never be able to pursue Leng Siqing.
Leng Siqing likes children, but she definitely doesn’t like to have romantic conversations with them.
Maybe he wanted to marry Leng Siqing, but Leng Siqing treated him as a junior, not even a younger brother of the same generation.
No matter what the result is, Bai Lian is well-known in the underworld for her shamelessness.
She is not popular, and Bai Lian’s popularity is not much better.
They have never gotten along, and quarreling won't affect their work, so why bother putting themselves in a difficult position?
It wasn't just because of her quarrel that Bai Lian had the courage to hang a sign saying "Leng Xiangying, No Entry" on Yin Street.
"Officer Shen, is that ghost commander very powerful?" Jin Banwei asked curiously. Although she had been told that one should not judge a ghost's strength by its appearance, Bai Lian looked too young and immature, and there was no aura about her that frightened her. She was not even as oppressive as Cheng Lanyi.
Of course, it might also be because Cheng Lanyi wanted to kill him at that time.
"That's natural. After all, he is one of the ten great Yin Marshals. He must be strong enough." Leng Xiangying said, and suddenly turned her head to look at Ren Qiao, who looked worried. She was obviously still worried about Leng Xiangying. She paused, her beautiful eyes trembled slightly, her brows knitted slightly, and her face became more serious: "But he may not be able to beat Ren Qiao."
"Is Sister Ghost so powerful?"
Jin Banwei knew that Ren Qiao was very strong, but she didn't expect that she could be stronger than Yin Shuai.
Stalls can be seen everywhere in Yin Street City. You can also see people doing business by just spreading a piece of black cloth. There are shops on both rows. Yin Street is not decorated like the modern world. Instead, it retains traces of the past and looks quaint and bustling.
There are ghosts and people walking around everywhere, each of them selecting their favorite objects and suitable buyers.
Jin Banwei's surprise was drowned out by the shouting, but the two ghosts beside her could still hear it clearly. Leng Xiangying bought two strings of candied haws, threw silver to the ghost, took a bite of the candied haws, and then said hesitantly: "I don't know how strong Ren Qiao is, but she always has some new abilities. She can not only use ghost methods, but also demon Taoist monks. Um... Although we have official positions and have physical bodies, we can be immune to some spells, but we are still ghosts in essence. We are not completely immune to natural spells. So if Ren Qiao faces Bai Lian, she can use Buddhist methods like the Brahma Chain to control Bai Lian, which will have a certain restraining effect."
"Oh, yeah, that wooden yoke she used to control Cheng Lanyi last night is also very powerful, and it has a very strong inhibitory effect on us!"
However, in order to use the power of the wooden yoke, Ren Qiao would even have to use his true form.
That miserable and pitiful look was almost engraved in Jin Banwei's mind. If she needed strength, she would use her true form. In that case, the pain of her true form would be repeated on her body, which was a pain she could not imagine. Therefore, it was better not to use the power of the wooden yoke again.
They would not fight with Yin Shuai either. After all, Ren Qiao was a ghost with only a Yinhun card, and the people in the underworld should not make things difficult for her.
Or maybe she is not strong enough. If she were strong enough, she should think about the gap between herself and Bai Lian, rather than the gap between Ren Qiao and Bai Lian.
Get stronger, get stronger.
Jin Banwei's desire to become stronger began to increase significantly, and danger and mystery surrounded her.
It still depends on the lottery.
Jin Banwei's mind moved slightly, and she checked the remaining good karma points in her mind. There were forty points of good karma points, and she had just drawn five times, so there should be thirty points left... Wait!
The good karma value on the screen was only 25 points left, and she urgently needed a reasonable explanation.
[System: After the system upgrade, three points of good karma are required for a lottery draw.]
Oh, it really is a crappy system.
They raised the price without even reminding her!
That was five points less of good karma, which was beyond her expectations. Jin Banwei's heart was bleeding, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
【Jin Banwei: Will you upgrade again? 】
[System: The next upgrade requires the host to draw 50 times. By then, the host's body will be greatly strengthened.]
Although she was looking forward to the increased strength that the system mentioned, Jin Banwei had a hunch that the price would definitely increase next time she upgraded.
My heart is already starting to ache.
God knows how hard it is to earn good karma points. She suddenly began to look forward to the quick solution that Leng Xiangying mentioned. Just as Jin Banwei was about to ask Leng Xiangying what the quick solution was, she saw Leng Xiangying handing another string of candied haws in her hand to Ren Qiao, smiling and saying, "Ren Qiao, try it quickly, it's very sweet!"
They each held a string of candied haws, with the shiny outer layer wrapping the red fruit. What was different from the usual candied haws was that each fruit was dotted with lotus root pink dots, making it look even sweeter and crispier.
Jin Banwei hadn't eaten yet at night. She looked at the fruit wrapped in honey and licked her lips: "Sister Ghost, I want one too!"
Leng Xiangying didn't even know to buy her a string, so she had to comfort her for a long time.
She was embarrassed to pester Leng Xiangying, so she set her eyes on the candied haws in Ren Qiao's hand.
Ren Qiao handed the candied haws to her lips without thinking too much. Jin Banwei couldn't wait to take a bite, but what she tasted was not the crispy fruit, nor the sweetness she had imagined. The fruit almost melted in her mouth and dissolved on her tongue. It didn't feel like a candied haws, but more like fine and soft incense ash, with a bit of the taste of sparks.
Jin Banwei looked extremely ugly.
Ren Qiao saw that her face was turning green, and asked with concern: "Is it not delicious?"
Jin Banwei swallowed the fruit with great effort and reached out to hold Ren Qiao's wrist: "Sister Ghost, don't eat it, it's not sweet at all!"
Not only is it not sweet, it's simply too unpalatable.
Her face was full of seriousness and sincerity. Ren Qiao subconsciously wanted to return the candied haws to Leng Xiangying. Leng Xiangying grabbed Ren Qiao's wrist as he was about to return the candied haws to her, and laughed breathlessly: "Hahaha, you two are idiots, this is something ghosts eat, Banwei is a human, how can it taste good for her!"
Jin Banwei suddenly realized. No wonder Leng Xiangying ate so happily while she felt like she was chewing wax.
She had forgotten that the food of ghosts and humans is different.
Even if Ren Qiao has a physical body, she is still a ghost. Only the entity in the underworld that is born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is truly close to the flesh. Therefore, Leng Xiangying can eat both human food and ghost food, but she can only eat human food and Ren Qiao can only eat ghost food. Ghost food is mostly made of incense, so naturally she will have a mouthful of incense ash when she eats it.
"Sister Gui, please eat quickly. It's delicious." Jin Banwei figured out the whole story and encouraged Ren Qiao to eat.
Ren Qiao had been floating all the time. Without offerings, he naturally had no food, and it was rare for him to get something to eat.
In fact, she can also make this kind of ghost food. She can pinch the food with paper, burn it with the underworld fire, and then offer it with fragrance. This way, it can become vegetarian food for ghosts. If she wants to make meat, she needs some blood, but eating too much human blood will definitely cause problems. She can use animal blood.
This is how paper-making masters make ghost food.
After mastering the elementary paper-folding technique, Jin Banwei can be considered a real paper-folding master. Some basic skills are no longer a problem for her and her horizons have broadened.
There are many paper-making shops in Yin Street. She can go there to buy some bamboo knives, wicker paper, cloth, ink pens, dyes...
After all, if you have to prepare from the basic materials, it would be too time-consuming. These things are not difficult to make, but they just take a lot of time. The paper-making masters with high skills in the original book would just buy them directly, and then process them according to their own needs. Those who would mass-produce these things are mostly those paper-making masters with low skills and limited talents, and most of them are only at the entry level.
Jin Banwei's skills are not very advanced, but she doesn't want to waste time on this.
Buyers in Yin Street usually have to prepare two kinds of money, one for the underworld and the other for the world. If the seller is a human, they use the latter, and if the seller is a ghost, they use the former. Another common method is to exchange treasures.
The paper-making shop should be run by a living person, so she wouldn't need Leng Xiangying to buy it for her.
They still walked along the street. Yinjie City was very prosperous, with countless shops and stalls, and a wide variety of goods, each of which was very valuable. The only pity was that there was almost nothing edible here.
This is understandable. After all, people who come here are here to look for treasure, not to satisfy their appetite.
Yin Street is too big. If you really walk around the entire city, you might not be able to buy something you like before Yin Street closes.
Jin Banwei and Ren Qiao were dazzled. If it weren't for Leng Xiangying leading the way, they would easily get lost in this Yinjie City.
The place they were going to was quite remote and they still had some way to go.
In fact, if it weren't for Jin Banwei, Ren Qiao and Leng Xiangying could have floated over there at an extremely fast speed. So Leng Xiangying felt very sorry for the extra distance she had to walk, and had to buy some things from time to time to comfort herself.
It can be seen that she is very conscious of her shopping habits. She not only buys things for herself, but also for Ren Qiao and Jin Banwei. Fortunately, Jin Banwei took out the bag that Leng Xiangying gave her, otherwise she would not be able to fit all the things in it.
Leng Xiangying took a bite of the candy bag and suddenly thought of Bai Lian again: "Actually, Bai Lian is a narrow-minded person. I'm fine, but you guys should be careful of him, although he may not be able to beat Ren Qiao."
Bai Lian hates Leng Xiangying, and Leng Xiangying also hates Bai Lian very much.
"Hey, don't think that Yin Shuai is weak. The main reason is that Bai Lian has always been at the bottom of the top ten Yin Shuai. Yin Shuai is only one level higher than Yin Cha, and the power bestowed by heaven and earth is not much different. Coupled with talent and diligence in cultivation, the strength gap will be narrowed. Therefore, the peak combat power among our Yin Cha is similar to the last few Yin Shuai. In addition, Bai Lian's mind is full of love and love, and his mind is not pure in cultivation. He is much worse than Sister Bai."
Jin Banwei asked curiously, "Does Bai Yinshuai really want to fall in love?"
"Well, how should I put it? Bai Lian is quite strange. In fact, he not only pursued Leng Siqing, but he also pursued five Meng Pos in total." Leng Xiangying took another bite of the candy bag. The candy bag that was still dripping with honey alleviated her dissatisfaction with Bai Lian to a certain extent. She gave a rare objective evaluation: "Sister Bai said that he is a masochist, with a diseased brain, and is obsessed with the feeling of looking up at the clouds and being difficult to approach."
Five...
Jin Banwei was really impressed by Bai Lian. Although he looked so young, he actually had a big heart.
But why do you keep staring at Meng Po?
"Officer Shen, there should be many women in your underworld's upper echelons, why doesn't Bai Yin Shuai pursue other Yin officials?"
Leng Xiangying's mouth twitched slightly, and the candy bag in her hand didn't smell so good anymore: "Well, if you live too long, you will have some psychological problems. Except for Meng Po, who died young, many high-ranking officials in the underworld have changed, and most of the others are over ten thousand years old. If Bai Lian chases them, she will most likely be tormented for fun."
Leng Xiangying stared at Jin Banwei with ill intentions: "Actually, you are quite interesting. When you go to the underworld, I will introduce you to be a ghost messenger. Then you can work hard to be a ghost messenger with me. Those old perverts will definitely be very happy to see you!"
I always feel that Leng Xiangying seems to be looking forward to her working in the underworld.
Jin Banwei chuckled and held Ren Qiao's hand in a panic: "I won't go for the time being."
She subconsciously leaned on Ren Qiao, and Ren Qiao naturally blocked Leng Xiangying's sight. Leng Xiangying muttered, "You will die sooner or later, and human life is very short. But you are a person who is touched by yin and yang, you can accumulate merits to exchange for longevity cakes. As long as you don't die from eating them, you can keep eating them. In the end, you can live a few more decades. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being a ghost messenger. As long as you get the approval of the King of Hell, you don't have to separate from Ren Qiao when you become a ghost messenger. Of course, the King of Hell is difficult to talk to."
Jin Banwei automatically ignored what Leng Xiangying said about being a ghost messenger. As for the longevity cake, it was also recorded in the original book that it was a way to ask the underworld to exchange one's life.
Exchanging good deeds for longevity cakes will increase your lifespan, but if you eat too many cakes your body will become colder and colder until it is completely wrapped in Yin energy. Your bones will also slowly be eroded by the Yin energy, and finally your soul will turn into a pool of Yin water and you will never enter reincarnation again.
Leng Xiangying was not wrong. As long as one does not die from eating longevity cakes, one can keep eating them. However, it would be good for an ordinary sorcerer to survive for a year. After a year, his soul would be scattered and no body would be left.
In fact, there is no need to think so far ahead. The most important thing is to live a good life in the present.
Instead of worrying about what to do in the future, it is better to worry about what to do when the experience card expires and Ren Qiao never sees her again.
Ren Qiao blocked Leng Xiangying's line of sight, so Leng Xiangying stopped and tilted her head to stare at Jin Banwei with a smile. Seeing that she was not going to leave, Ren Qiao asked, "Officer Shen, are there many powerful ghost officials in your underworld?"
"Ren Qiao, you're not as good at talking as your little Jin. You're so stiff in changing the subject." She finally finished the candy packet. A match was struck, and a blue flame flickered in her palm. The candy packet turned into ashes. It was very quick and convenient.
I'm just a little worried that she might burn her hands.
The nether fire is naturally different from the open fire. Not only was Leng Xiangying not burned, but she was in a good mood after absorbing some sparks.
She continued walking forward, introducing the Hades' Yin Runes to Ren Qiao and the others: "Although the Hades' Yin Runes are always changing, the top ten rankings have hardly changed in the past thousand years. They are considered to be the most powerful ones. I am one of them. Although I am a little weak, I am still very strong in my prime. After all, the King of Hell praised me for having a clean mind and being suitable for cultivation."
"But I have hardly ever fought at full strength. I have been injured constantly since I took office, and my soul power has never recovered. Because of the catastrophe of the Jiang family, I only have 30% of my strength left. I can't even beat a newcomer like Cheng Lanyi. But now I have the Dream Weaving Fruit. I may not win in a fight, but I can save my life."
"Sister Bai said that the main reason is that the area I'm in charge of is too prosperous. There have been many Yin-Yang sorcerers living here since a long time ago. Naturally, there are many ghosts and disputes, so it's easy for things to go wrong."
Ren Qiao vaguely remembered that when she first met Leng Xiangying, she saw her being beaten by a group of ghosts.
She had been to other cities before, and the chance of encountering a ghost hunter was indeed not as high as here.
"Officer Shen, has this place always been prosperous?"
Leng Xiangying nodded: "This used to be the imperial capital of the Shen Kingdom. Several generations of emperors later built their imperial capitals here, and it has always been prosperous."
The Imperial City of Shen State...
Jin Banwei understood something. This was probably the reason why Leng Xiangying was still holding on here even though her strength had been greatly reduced.
She suddenly remembered that the effect of the Yin Bone Incense was to repair soul power. She originally wanted to use it on Ren Qiao, but Ren Qiao's soul was incomplete and she didn't know her birth date, so she couldn't offer a tablet. She had no way to absorb the Yin Bone Incense.
Moreover, Yin Gu Xiang is a consolation prize, and there will probably be more in the future.
Leng Xiangying was so good to Ren Qiao that she even gave him the Dream-Weaving Fruit, let alone the Yin Bone Incense.
Her mind moved slightly, and she reached into her backpack, actually taking out the Yin Bone Incense from the system. She pulled out a piece of Yin Bone Incense and handed it to Leng Xiangying: "Officer Shen, can this help you?"
Yin Bone Incense is different from ordinary yellow incense. It is jade white all over like a slender bone. The wooden stick with the incense is pure black and has a faint fragrance. It does not even need to be lit. The fragrance can make ghosts' eyes light up.
Leng Xiangying was delighted: "Yin bone fragrance!"
Joy was soon replaced by panic. Feeling the gazes from all around her, her face changed. "Why did you take it out here? Put it away quickly! Everything displayed in the ghost market is a must-buy item. As long as the price is right, buyers can force a purchase, so everything you buy must be put away immediately."
But it's too late...
As soon as Leng Xiangying finished speaking, Jin Banwei felt a gust of wind blowing past, and the Yin Bone Incense in her hand disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by an open small wooden box with a row of gold bars in it.
Behind her, there was a young girl who looked about the same age as her, with fair skin and delicate features. She looked like a sculpture made of ice, and even her thanks were chilly: "Thank you."
Her expression didn't change much, and there was no Yin Bone Incense in her hand, but the Yin Bone Incense should have been taken away by her.
Jin Banwei's gaze rested on the shoulder bag around her waist.
Leng Xiangying's face had turned completely gloomy. She stepped forward and grabbed the girl's arm: "Guan Jiyue, that's something she wanted to give to me!"
Guan Jiyue!
Heroine!
Jin Banwei couldn't help but look at the girl again. She was actually the heroine. She was as cold and inhumane as described in the book, and she was obviously hostile towards ghosts.
She never looked at Ren Qiao from beginning to end, and she was not very respectful to Leng Xiangying. She spoke in a cold tone, with no change in her expression: "Officer Shen, as a ghost officer, you should know the rules of the underworld better than me. You must report to Bai Lian Yinshuai."
The ghost market is a special space. It is attached to the side of the underworld passage. All Yin-Yang magicians and ghosts can come here through different passages. The sign that brings them here will remember the way they came, and they will return by the same route when they leave. Although they cannot move freely, it is connected to the entire world of the living, so it is inevitable that it is a bit lively.
Many Yin-Yang masters even regard ghost markets as places to exchange items. They don’t have to cross the city, just wait until nightfall.
In order to put an end to this kind of behavior, Hades has issued a special order that anything taken out on the street can be purchased as long as the price is right. If the seller is not satisfied with the price, he can argue. The final decision will be made by the Yin Shuai who guards the ghost market.
But most of those who come to the ghost market to exchange items do so for convenience or have some unspeakable secrets. It would be troublesome if Yin Shuai was alerted.
Leng Xiangying didn't want to see Bai Lian again, but she was a little unwilling to have the Yin Bone Incense taken away from her.
As a person who traveled through the book, Jin Banwei is well aware of the power of the heroine's halo. Although Guan Jiyue has a bad personality and is prejudiced against ghosts, she is indeed capable. Otherwise, there are only her and her aunt left in the Guan family now, and she has attracted so many ghosts. If she didn't have the strength, she would have died eight hundred times ago.
She didn't want to be an enemy of Guan Jiyue, so it would be nice to have a good relationship with her.
Besides, she was already very satisfied that a consolation item could be exchanged for so many gold bars.
Jin Banwei comforted Leng Xiangying: "Officer Shen, it's okay, I still have the Yin Bone Incense."
Hearing that she still had it, Leng Xiangying's face looked better, but she still stared at Guan Jiyue: "You have always been very dissatisfied with ghosts, so what do you want this Yin Bone Incense that can restore soul power for?"
"The messenger may have forgotten that this item is a legacy of my Guan family." Guan Jiyue's tone was still indifferent, but there was a chill in her eyes, and the bone-piercing chill enveloped Jin Banwei: "It's just that twenty years ago, the thousands of Yin Bone Incense stored in the Guan family were stolen."
Could it be that she suspected that she had stolen the Guan family's Yin Bone Incense?
Jin Banwei really didn't expect that the consolation item given to her by the system would actually be the inheritance of the heroine's family. For a moment, she didn't know whether to praise the system for its generosity or worry about her own safety.
She was afraid, so Ren Qiao pulled Jin Banwei behind him.
How could Jin Banwei dare to let Ren Qiao stand in front of her? The heroine was okay to living people. Although she was cold, she had no malice. But she hated ghosts and wanted to kill them as soon as possible.
"Sister Gui, I'm fine." She pulled Ren Qiao behind her and used her frail body to block Ren Qiao: "I didn't steal anything from your Guan family."
Guan Jiyue thought that Ren Qiao was following Leng Xiangying, but now it seems that he is following Jin Banwei.
"Of course I know that your Yin Bone Incense was not stolen from my house. My Yin Bone Incense has a mark. Your Yin Bone Incense is very authentic. The effect may be better than my ancestral one, and the taste is also different." Her eyes sank slightly: "I bought it just to improve the ancestral formula."
"What are you doing with the improvement? Your Guan family has not been selling Yin Bone Incense for a long time!"
Leng Xiangying also seems to be very familiar with Guan Jiyue.
In the book, Guan Jiyue didn't have many dealings with ghosts. She mostly dispersed the ghosts she encountered, so Leng Xiangying didn't appear.
Listening to Leng Xiangying's angry voice, Guan Jiyue still went his own way: "Yes, even if I improve the formula, my Guan family will not produce Yin Bone Incense anymore."
"Guan Jiyue, you are simply unreasonable! Your Guan family ancestors were not like this."
Having been used to seeing Leng Xiangying making others angry, Jin Banwei even suspected that she had seen it wrong when she saw Leng Xiangying going crazy because of Guan Jiyue.
"I am now the head of the Guan family. My Guan family will never have a good relationship with ghosts, not even the ghost messengers." Guan Jiyue's expression remained calm, and she was not even afraid of offending the ghost messenger. She still spoke coldly: "I decided it."
She was about to leave after she finished speaking, but before she left, she pointed at Jin Banwei and said, "As a Yin-Yang sorcerer, it is against the will of heaven for you to raise ghosts. I will find you and disperse the ghost next to you."
"She is very strong. I will prepare more talismans."
