Chapter 159
After leaving Daping Swamp, Cheng Hui first went to the camp.
The camp is almost the same as it was ten years ago. I don’t know if it’s because the people in the underworld have been dead for a long time and don’t like changes or what, but except for some slight changes in the various strange creatures walking back and forth inside, everything else is exactly the same as before.
The lease on the cave that Cheng Hui had rented had expired long ago, and he hadn't expected to stay in the swamp for so long.
The last time he came here, he was alone and had no desire to go shopping. But now, because of Lin Qingyang's presence, he felt a little more relaxed.
For ten whole years, Cheng Hui was trapped in that small space and couldn't move. He felt extremely uncomfortable. Finally, he saw so many living creatures. Although most of them looked strange, it was enough for Cheng Hui.
In addition to those fixed shops, there are also many ghosts setting up stalls here, because the formation of Daping Swamp is quite special. After the secret realm was shattered, most of the fragments were integrated into the underworld, but there are also a small number of particularly small fragments that will fall into the underworld from the void one after another in the future.
Every once in a while, a lucky person would find such a fragment and make a fortune. For this reason, Daping Swamp is always crowded with people, and behind the scenes, murders for money also happen from time to time.
Cheng Hui took Lin Qingyang to a small street where the stalls were selling spiritual herbs.
Although these spiritual herbs are all of Yin attributes, they can be sold at a good price in the Yang world. Cheng Hui can make a lot of money just by reselling them. Naturally, he will not give up these spiritual stones that are almost free.
"Buy! Buy! Buy it!" Cheng Hui swept away all the spiritual herbs on many small stalls. His generous look attracted many people's attention.
"Why did you buy so many spiritual herbs?" Uncle Gui asked in confusion. He knew Cheng Hui was not proficient in refining medicine, and he really couldn't understand why he bought so many spiritual herbs.
However, Lin Qingyang and Cheng Hui were in sync and guessed his purpose early on.
"Of course it's to make money. I can easily make a fortune by reselling it. Why not take it for free!" Cheng Hui said righteously.
Uncle Gui was stunned: "That's just a few spirit stones, is it that serious?"
"Of course." Cheng Hui glared at Uncle Gui with disdain: "Uncle Gui, you really don't know how valuable materials and rice are. A spirit stone is also money. It won't fall from the sky. A little bit will add up to a lot."
"Besides, I've made quite a bit of money reselling it, so I can't be too greedy."
Uncle Gui said he had nothing to say.
The treasures he had prepared for himself were all piled high with natural treasures. Spiritual stones? That was all included, but his body was limited, so he couldn't retrieve them. Otherwise, he would have to let Cheng Hui experience what it meant to have a mountain of spiritual stones!
Cheng Hui's shopping spree on the street attracted a lot of attention, but he was very sensible and only chose the kind of spiritual herbs that were large in quantity and could fill your stomach.
Anyway, the underworld is rich in this kind of spiritual herbs with yin attributes. It doesn’t matter how large the quantity is. As long as you bring it back to the world of the living, you can sell it at any price.
Occasionally, he would be lucky enough to find some small things that he could get for free, and Cheng Hui didn't hesitate to take them all.
The only thing that made him a little depressed was that every ghost on the street could not help but look at Lin Qingyang whenever they passed by.
"Why are they staring at you?" Cheng Hui was puzzled. "Even if you're pretty, these ghosts probably can't tell."
Lin Qingyang glanced at those strange-looking ghosts with an indifferent expression. All the ghosts that were touched by his gaze shuddered and quickly looked away.
Cheng Hui touched his chin. Could this be the legendary killing look?
Why is my look not intimidating?
He turned his head and glared at the people around him with a fierce look.
Lin Qingyang watched his actions from the side and was confused. "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you see? I learned from you that I am scaring these ghosts with my eyes."
Lin Qingyang fell into a strange silence.
Cheng Hui's efforts did not yield any results. The ghosts he glared at did not avoid his sight as he had imagined.
Or rather... some of them avoided it, while the others glared back fiercely.
Cheng Hui was depressed. Does he think I'm easy to bully?
Uncle Gui at the side couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha, silly boy, what's the point of just using your eyes? You have to use the power of your Jindan stage to suppress them!"
Cheng Hui was surprised: "The power of the Golden Core Stage? Did Qingyang use it?"
"Of course! Otherwise, why do you think those ghosts would be scared?" Uncle Ghost laughed so hard that he fell backwards. It felt like he could laugh at this joke for half a year.
Cheng Hui was still puzzled: "But I didn't feel it."
"Nonsense!" Uncle Gui said in a disdainful tone, "My pressure was precisely directed at those unlucky guys, so naturally you couldn't feel it. Here, the Golden Core is basically at its peak. Those people, sensing the Golden Core's aura, naturally didn't dare to look around."
Cheng Hui looked at Lin Qingyang with admiration. He was able to control his power so well just after breaking through the Jindan stage. Qingyang was really amazing.
Receiving Cheng Hui's admiring gaze, Lin Qingyang controlled the corners of his mouth that were raised and nodded implicitly.
Although this is just a very basic operation, but...yes, I am that good, come and praise me! o(*////▽////*)q
"Tsk, even though they are all in the Jindan stage, the difference between people is really huge." Uncle Gui said angrily.
Originally, he always thought that Cheng Hui was an excellent partner, but after seeing Lin Qingyang, he had to admit that compared to being excellent, Lin Qingyang was more capable.
Of course, as an old man with many years of experience, he is not lacking in vision. Therefore, even though Lin Qingyang performed very well, he never thought about changing his cooperation with the other party, not even the slightest idea.
Lin Qingyang is not someone that a remnant soul like him can manipulate. Cooperating with him is like trying to get the skin of a tiger, and he might be swallowed by the other party in the end.
Even if Uncle Gui was in perfect condition, he would not accept Lin Qingyang as his subordinate. If such an ambitious, capable and scheming person wanted to be his boss, he must be prepared to be overthrown by him at any time.
He is not someone who can be inferior to others!
Oh yes, maybe Cheng Hui can do it.
Uncle Gui is sometimes puzzled. How could such a person, who is no different from a mad dog at heart, be tied up by Cheng Hui?
He has been with Cheng Hui for quite some time. To be honest, Cheng Hui is a good person. He has a bottom line in doing things and he is happy to be friends with such a person if he puts himself in his shoes.
But Lin Qingyang is also a very outstanding person, and he is also very handsome. I can't understand how these two people got together.
But then I thought about it, all my friends had found their partners, and the identities of their partners were all kinds of strange. Uncle Gui:...emmmm, this is probably love!
"Uncle Gui, what are you sighing about?" Cheng Hui bought the spiritual herbs on the last stall, and looking at Uncle Gui sighing, he couldn't help but ask.
Uncle Gui glanced at him and said, "It's nothing, just expressing my feelings about love."
Cheng Hui: ???
"Do you want to fall in love?" Cheng Hui asked cautiously.
Speaking of which... How old is Uncle Ghost, anyway? He's a remnant soul, so if he wants to date, does he need to find a ghost? The underworld is perfect for that... Uh, should he find someone who can help Uncle Ghost find a date?
"What are you thinking about, little brat!" Uncle Ghost knew from his expression that he was definitely up to no good, and rolled his eyes at him unhappily: "Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave, I've calculated that in half a month, there will be a ghost army passing through... Oops, I almost forgot, you still accepted the mission at Baiweilou."
"Uncle Gui, you just remembered." Cheng Hui suppressed a laugh. "It's been eleven years, the mission must have expired long ago. And the small courtyard we rented...tsk tsk, I've only lived there for one day...what a waste."
"The courtyard is definitely gone, but the quest should still be there. Most ghosts in the underworld have a weak sense of time. Ten years is just a blink of an eye for them. You can definitely go back and hand in the quest."
"Is this true?" Cheng Hui was shocked.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know when we go back and take a look." Uncle Gui said leisurely.
After Cheng Hui finished shopping, he walked around the street twice and bought some specialties of Daping Swamp.
Then he went to a corner of the camp to rent a long-legged bird.
There was a shop selling wood-grained mice near the Long-legged Bird rental yard. Cheng Hui remembered the tragedy of having no mice to use last time, and he had an idea and bought five of them, preparing to reward the Long-legged Bird he was about to ride.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but as soon as I walked into the long-legged bird rental yard, I saw a group of long-legged birds being led out. The long-legged bird in the lead was tall and strong, with two long legs full of muscles. He looked very strong at first glance. Following such a long-legged bird would naturally make the journey safer.
He bought a ticket and tried to choose a bird he liked from the flock of long-legged birds. Unexpectedly, he accidentally glanced at one of the long-legged birds and fell in love with it.
Well……
In fact, it was not that they were attracted to each other. The main reason was that when he saw the long-legged bird, he found that the long-legged bird was obviously stunned, then took several steps back and hid behind another long-legged bird.
Cheng Hui: ???
No, brother, I can't help but feel a little concerned about your behavior.
He walked around and observed the long-legged bird from a different angle. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt... this long-legged bird seemed a little familiar... It seemed a little like the one that carried him in the past.
Is it what he thinks?
He thought uncertainly, but his reaction was very real. He rushed to the front of the long-legged bird and grabbed its reins.
The unlucky long-legged bird immediately revealed a depressed expression, as if it was written on its face: Why am I so unlucky...
"Old friend?" Cheng Hui asked tentatively.
The long-legged bird had a look of despair on its face and silently turned its head in the other direction.
Cheng Hui could now confirm that it was indeed the unlucky bird.
He remembered that he hadn't prepared any snacks for the animal the last time he rode it, so he took out a wood rat from his pocket.
As soon as the fat mouse was taken out, the long-legged birds around it became alert and stretched their necks to move towards it.
As soon as the unlucky long-legged bird saw the wood mouse, the pain in its neck and the soreness in its legs suddenly stopped. It immediately drove away all its companions around it, and then picked up the wood mouse and enjoyed it.
The other long-legged birds couldn't get one, so they had to vent their anger on the passengers. The ghosts who had already chosen their mounts were suddenly in trouble and were chased by their mounts to buy wood-grained mice.
Cheng Hui: ...
