Since she had nothing to do, she simply left the inn and strolled around the street. The vendors were selling a lot of things. Some of the bottles contained green water, which they said could help you see ghosts if you rub it on your eyelids. There were also more sachets for sale, which were said to cover up the aura on your body and make it easier to enter the gates of hell.
But in Jiuxi's opinion, the green water is cow's tears, which can indeed see ghosts, but only people with very low yang fire can see it.
And the claim that the brocade bag could conceal people's popularity was completely groundless and was nothing more than a lie to deceive these mortals.
Just as Jiuxi was about to leave the stall, the boss was very unhappy and said, "Girl, you've been touching so many things, and you don't find anything you like?"
Jiuxi casually picked up a purple bell and shook it a few times. Under the sunlight, the bell sparkled and the sound was very crisp. Jiuxi thought it could be tied around the little fox's neck and asked, "How much is this purple bell?"
The boss snorted coldly and said reluctantly, "Ten cents."
Jiuxi threw down ten coins, pointed to the stall from yesterday, and asked, "Boss, I have something to ask you."
The boss took the money and said, "What's the matter? If it's important information, I'll charge you."
Jiuxi's brows were filled with ice and snow, but he still took out a gold leaf and gave it to the boss. He pointed to the stall from yesterday and asked, "Why is there no one here?"
The boss's eyes were full of light. He blew on the golden leaves, and could hear a clear sound. Then he said in a friendly manner, "That stall is very strange. As long as we set up the stall within four feet of it, the things on the table will fly away for no reason.
The owner of the stall is never seen during the day, and even less at night. They all say the stall was set up by Hades to collect wandering souls from the surrounding area!"
The boss's words were so magical, but Jiuxi didn't believe a word of it. She tapped her fingers on the table and asked tentatively, "Are there really ghosts in Fengdu City?"
The boss nodded repeatedly, "Yes, there is. I heard that there is a flower girl in the middle of the night! She screams selling flowers, selling flowers. Two night watchmen died in a row. So now every house closes the doors and windows at night."
Jiuxi frowned slightly, thinking that these people really knew how to pick the time to cause so many troubles when she was away from her post.
Fortunately, she came back early, otherwise she might be the next wronged soul under the Zhuxian Terrace.
This matter is very complicated.
After asking for the information she needed, she returned to the inn with a cold face. The old woman in the inn was also kind-hearted and asked her if she needed food, but she was in no mood at the moment. She politely refused and went upstairs by herself.
This wooden staircase seemed to be quite old. Every time she took a step, the staircase creaked. She didn't know how long it could last.
But what made Jiuxi feel even more strange was that she was the only guest in this inn. Even if the business was so bad, it shouldn't be like this.
But the words got stuck in her throat. When she thought about the fact that this house was quite shabby compared to other inns, she decided not to ask to avoid hurting the old man's fragile heart.
What Jiuxi didn't see was that after Jiuxi went upstairs, the old woman's loose skin was slowly becoming tighter, even the wrinkles on her skin like old tree bark were slowly disappearing, and even her hunched waist was slowly straightening.
Under the counter, corpses were stepped on by her. The woman took out a knife and cut off the noses, mouths, and chests of these people very neatly. Blood splattered on the woman's face. She licked her tongue and said, "What a pity! I don't eat eyes."
