Merchant of the Underworld

"The bad news is that it seems that many people and ghosts are interested in Night Dragon Eater, and it will be difficult for us to win." The man in the T-shirt said.

We actually have to fight with those ghosts... Can the four of us survive?

The man in the T-shirt took out two talismans from his pocket and handed them to me and Li Mazi respectively: "Put this talisman on your forehead, let's go to the village and have a look."

As he said that, the T-shirt man and the white-browed Zen master also put similar charms on their foreheads. It looked really funny.

I asked the man in the T-shirt what the talisman was for? The man in the T-shirt said that this talisman, combined with Yubu, could make him as invisible as possible in front of ghosts and people.

I was surprised. Could this be the legendary invisibility charm?

Zen Master Baimei told me that the talisman lowers the yang energy in our body, so it is not easy to be discovered by ghosts. Yubu, on the other hand, is a footwork evolved based on the Eight Diagrams of Zhouyi. It can use the surrounding obstructions as much as possible to hide the figure. It is better performed in such heavy fog, and it is completely incomparable with invisibility.

I was a little disappointed.

We followed closely behind the man in the T-shirt, taking very strange steps and jumping around in the heavy fog. It was really strange.

When I got close to the villagers, I heard their conversation: "This damn weather, why did it suddenly become foggy? I can't even go to work in the fields."

"Yeah, the weather suddenly got a lot colder..."

"By the way, how many days have you not seen Uncle Zhong? Ever since Uncle Zhong dug up the treasure, he has been hiding at home all day long, not even daring to come out."

"Let's go to Uncle Zhong's house and see what the dragon's horns look like."

My heart skipped a beat because I realized that the dragon horns they were talking about must be the Night Dragon.

The man in the T-shirt immediately whispered: "Let's go, follow!"

I suddenly realized that we were not the only ones following these two villagers. When the villagers mentioned the dragon horns, many dark figures immediately gathered around them.

Seeing the villagers heading to Uncle Zhong's house, those dark shadows followed them.

At this moment, I was extremely scared. These black figures were most likely ghosts, because I was face to face with them, but I still could not see their faces clearly, and they gave people a chilly feeling all over their bodies.

I looked at the man in the T-shirt shivering, not knowing what to do.

But the man in the T-shirt comforted me with his eyes, telling me not to be afraid and just follow the villagers.

I could only follow behind cautiously.

The black figures around us obviously saw us and looked at us with strange eyes, but they didn't pay much attention. They probably regarded us as the same kind and just ignored us and walked forward.

After walking for less than five minutes, I saw two villagers entering a brick house.

The moment the door opened, all the black shadows rushed in.

The man in the T-shirt quickly glanced into the house, then pulled me aside and hid behind a big tree.

I couldn't wait to ask the man in the T-shirt if he had seen the night dragon?

The man in the T-shirt shook his head and said: "The situation exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect that the ghost market had already started..."

"Has it started?" I was surprised: "Why didn't I see a transaction?"

"All the traders and ghosts gathered in that brick house." The man in the T-shirt said: "The two villagers who just entered will probably never come out in this life..."

My heart skipped a beat. Is the ghost market really that powerful?

"Then when are we going to capture the Night Dragon?" Li Mazi asked excitedly.

After all, Chu Chu was in danger now, and the life-saving medicine that everyone had been looking for for a year was right in front of them. How could Li Mazi not be excited?

The man in the T-shirt glanced at Li Mazi and said with some embarrassment: "Don't act rashly. The black figures wandering in the village are all here to watch the fun. The really powerful ones are all in that brick house. We can't move today. Well, let’s wait and see what happens.”

Li Mazi sighed, obviously a little unwilling.

I think if the man in the T-shirt hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed into the house and snatched the night dragon directly. He is the kind of person who seems to be greedy for life and afraid of death, but in fact he values ​​his relatives more important than his own life.

We could only wait behind the big tree. After waiting for a long time, we didn't see any movement from the brick house.

I was really bored, so I started to look at this brick house carefully.

The house looks very ordinary and dilapidated, and the fog here seems thicker than anywhere else. The door was locked and it was difficult to see what was going on inside the house. Occasionally, two or three villagers would pass by the door, and they would glance inside inexplicably, and then leave muttering in a low voice.

I was very shocked that humans and ghosts could stay in the same village so harmoniously. This was something I had never dared to imagine before.

We stayed behind the big tree for two or three hours, but still no one came out of the house. In the end, Li Mazi's patience was exhausted. No matter how we tried to persuade him, he rushed into the brick house to find out.

Zen Master Baimei had no choice but to say Amitabha and let Li Mazi stay where he was while he went in to see the specific situation.

What I didn't expect was that not long after Zen Master Baimei entered, the door was suddenly pushed open, and then a group of black shadows poured out like a tide. Each one seemed to have seen something terrifying, and dispersed in a hurry. opened.

Zen Master Baimei was one of the last ones to come out. After he came out, he told us to leave quickly.

My heart was beating wildly. Looking at Zen Master Baimei's expression, I knew something must have happened in the house. At that moment, he grabbed Li Mazi and ran wildly with Zen Master Baimei.

After running to the wheat field outside the village in one breath, Zen Master Baimei stopped and sat on the firewood pile, wiping sweat with his sleeves.

Li Mazi couldn't wait to ask Zen Master Baimei what was going on in the house.

The originally kind face of Zen Master Baimei was now covered with a dark cloud: "The Yelong Tao was stolen..."

The man in the T-shirt was slightly shocked: "Stolen? Who is so bold as to steal something from the ghost market?"

Zen Master Baimei shook his head: "I don't know, but he just disappeared. I'm afraid there will be a big trouble."

"Gone?" Li Mazi immediately cursed angrily: "Who dares to steal my Night Dragon? Damn it, I'll kill him."

I quickly held Li Mazi down. This guy was thinking about Ye Long Gao like crazy. When did Ye Long Gao become his?

I asked Zen Master Baimei what the consequences would be if Yelong was missing.

Zen Master Baimei smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know, because from the opening of the ghost market to now, there has never been anything stolen. I guess all the villagers in Wild Dog Ridge will suffer, because they can't find Yelong Tao." , they will definitely vent their anger on these innocent villagers!"

I took a breath of cold air: "You shouldn't massacre the village, right?"

Zen Master Baimei said: "Maybe."

"Maybe." I trembled with fright, massacring a village...what age is this, and still massacring a village?

The man in the T-shirt said coldly: "Probably not. I found that many people who participated in the ghost market have left one after another. Although they are furious, they seem to be very afraid of something and dare not attack the village."

I nodded, thinking this is the best.

We stayed in the firewood pile, observing the situation in the village, and fell asleep without knowing it.

When I opened my eyes again, I found a dazzling sunlight shining from above my head, which made me unable to open my eyes.

I looked around inexplicably, and was horrified to find that the thick fog shrouding the Wild Dog Ridge had disappeared at some point, and the sun was emitting strong light, shining on this peaceful village.

The villagers also started working in the fields, breathing fresh air, and there were even a few old men playing cards. Everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.

I was dumbfounded. What was going on? Could it be that I was dreaming yesterday?

Where are those sneaky dark shadows? What about the white mist that won’t blow away? Even the cold breath disappeared without a trace...

I stared at this quiet village in stunned silence and was speechless for a moment.

Li Mazi was also dumbfounded and quickly asked the man in the T-shirt what was going on?
