"Little brother, this little brother, please ask me."
This team was not too big or small, with five carriages, more than a dozen rough horses, and about [-] people. Naturally, it couldn't compare with the caravan of Shengxian Pavilion back then, but it was still a medium-sized caravan.
In the front, a middle-aged man with a horse trotted two steps, walked up to Jiang Li, and the smell of sweat came over his face.
Jiang Li also didn't wear the Zongmen's disciple's uniform during this trip, but only wore the coarse cloth clothes of ordinary civilians.
After all, wearing a disciple's uniform is majestic outside, but the result is to expose yourself completely. This point was learned in the mission of Yinnanguo at that time. Jiang Li still intends to keep a low profile this time.
So the other party only thought that Jiang Li was a commoner nearby, and didn't care too much.
"My little brother is a local. Please ask me. Do you know which direction Qitu Town should go?"
Jiang Li looked at the small town behind him, and then at the middle-aged man in front of him. He didn't expect him to ask such a question. It seems that this man is not blind.
"The visitor is looking for Qitu Town? What is the so-called Qitu Town?"
Jiang Li thought the other party was sloppy, so he asked again.
"What the little brother said is that this place is barren and uninhabited. It will be dark this day. I will rest in Qitu Town after waiting for the exhausted boat."
The middle-aged man smiled with a simple and honest look on his face. The caravan behind him also gradually stopped.
"The visitor is lucky. Behind me, this is Qitu Town."
Jiang Li was still sitting by the well, pointing to the big Qitu Town behind him.
"Little brother, don't make fun of me. How can this be Qitu Town? It's just that I was here a few years ago. How could Qitu Town be so dilapidated in a year?"
But the middle-aged man didn't believe it, he said convincingly that he had been here not long ago, and he described it as bustling and lively, and insisted that this must not be Qitu Town.
Jiang Li stared at his expression carefully, he didn't seem to be lying.
But judging from the information, this town has been deserted for twenty years.
Jiang Li turned his head to look at the small town behind him, with fear and curiosity shining in his eyes.
"Little brother, don't lie to me. If you know the location of Qitu Town, at worst, I will give you some money to ask for directions. That's all."
The middle-aged man saw that Jiang Li didn't pay attention to him anymore, he was slightly agitated because of the heat and thirst, and the tone of his speech became less pleasant.
"Uncle An, what's the matter?"
Seeing that the middle-aged man here hadn't found any results, a young woman in a blue skirt got out of the carriage on the other side of the convoy and asked this side.
Around the woman's waist, there is also a delicate long sword, which looks expensive and looks like a woman.But if you look closely at her palms, you can see that the hands are smooth and tender without any calluses. It doesn't look like a hand that has held a sword.
The middle-aged man surnamed An heard the words, he stopped asking Jiang Li, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, and ran back.
"Miss, that kid talked nonsense, saying that this is Qitu Town, and refused to show us the way, what should we do?"
The woman in the blue skirt looked at Jiang Li's side, and then at the only ray of sunlight left in the sky. Obviously, it was not suitable to continue on her way now.
"It's getting late, it's not appropriate to go anymore. Let's go to this barren town to pack up a house and rest for the night, and then go to find Qitu Town tomorrow morning."
When the young lady spoke, the men and guards in the convoy heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately the convoy set off again and slowly drove into the town.
"Young master, can you give the old man and his granddaughter a well of water, the sun is scorching hot these days, and the old man is really thirsty."
When the convoy drove into the city, Jiang Li saw that a pair of grandparents and a donkey were following behind the convoy.
The old man led the donkey to ask for water, and the granddaughter sat quietly on the donkey.
Jiang Li glanced at him expressionlessly, ignored his request, got up and walked towards the town.
The old man looked at Jiang Li's back, showing a bit of pity.
Then he walked to the well, turned the wooden pulley on the well, and pulled up the rope under the well bit by bit.
But in the dim well, the thing pulled up by the rope was not a bucket, but a skeleton that had already turned into white bones.
At this moment, the last ray of sunshine disappeared between the sky and the earth.
The skeleton hanging by the neck by the rope, the moment it exposed the mouth of the well, transformed into a long-haired female ghost with ragged clothes and bite marks all over her body, who was tortured to death.
The female ghost opened her eyes violently, with dark tears streaming down her face, she was about to pounce on her grandpa and grandson in front of her.
But at the next moment, the old man grabbed the female ghost's neck with one hand, and then slapped the ghost, turning the ghost into flying ash.
The old man threw away the corpse that had been turned into a skeleton again, as if it was just a piece of garbage, and then led the donkey and walked towards the town.
"The old man is thirsty, he didn't drink any water, the old man is thirsty."
And Jiang Li, who entered the town, and the merchant convoy ahead.
As night fell, they walked in the city and suddenly heard the noise of people ahead. Looking along the street, they saw brightly lit lights ahead and crowds of people.
After rushing forward for a while, I saw a bustling and bustling street scene.
The merchants on the street are constantly hawking, and the pedestrians on the road are constantly coming and going.This is not a dilapidated dead town, isn't this the bustling Qitu Town.
"Miss, it's here, it's here!"
"Master and I, the jade jewelry and silks and satins we bought here years ago!"
"The prices here are very cheap. As long as you go back and change hands, you can sell them for ten times the price! Now the An family is saved, now the An family is saved!"
The woman in the blue skirt got out of the carriage, and was very excited to see the lively scene in front of her.
The An family is a merchant family in a nearby kingdom. Although the family is not very big, it can be considered rich.
Years ago, his father and his eldest brother went out to do business together, and they also entered Qitu Town by mistake like today, and then bought a lot of high-quality jade silk and satin there, and made a fortune after selling them back home.
It's just that the good times didn't last long. Afterwards, his father and elder brother contracted serious illnesses and died one after another. The family had no pillars to support them, and soon suffered malicious targeting from other families.
The business at home plummeted, and it was deliberately set on fire, losing a batch of important goods and causing heavy losses.
It's just that in less than a year, the An family will no longer be able to support it.
At this time, the housekeeper who was given the surname An in the family suddenly suggested that if they could go to Qitu Town again, it might be possible to save the entire An family.
He only stayed in the town for a while before he was sent out to watch over the horses, but the prosperity here was still deeply engraved in his mind.
"Okay, there is an inn in front, Uncle An, take someone to ask for a few rooms to park the carriage, and I will inquire about the price..."
At this time, Jiang Li also came from behind.
He looked at the excited scene of everyone in the convoy, and then at the ghostly shadows around him.
Unexpectedly, in this kind of place, there could be a ghost market.
Buying things in the ghost market is spent on yang energy and vitality, not silver and gold, can this not be "cheap"?
"Hey, little brother, I'm sorry, we wrongly blamed you just now, thank you for showing us the way!"
The woman in the blue skirt spotted Jiang Li approaching from behind, and even offered to apologize.
Jiang Li took a look at her, slightly surprised, and in a rare act of kindness, he took out a small bag of scraps of jade from the mine and threw it over.
"If you want to buy something here, just use this, don't be greedy, just leave after shopping."
After finishing speaking, he didn't pay any attention to it, and walked along the ghost market where the ghosts walked at night.
"This is... a piece of broken jade? It's so pure."
The woman in the blue skirt untied the cloth bag suspiciously, and inside were pieces of jade that had been cut off one by one.
Although the jade produced by the Lingshi vein is not much different from stones and weeds in the world of cultivating immortals, it is a first-class talented and beautiful jade in the mortal country. A small bag is enough to exchange for a Four-entry house.
She hurriedly raised her head to look for Jiang Li again, and a thought came into her mind, that if she could give this kind of thing away, it would not be a bad thing if she just got married.
But in such a short time, Jiang Li had already disappeared from her sight.
Jiang Li was walking in the ghost market at this time, and he was also holding a large bag of spirit ore broken jade in his hand.
It is clear that they are bullying these ghosts without knowledge, and directly use the worthless broken jade as spirit stones, buying everything that can be seen with a big spend.
Chapter 146 The Lord of the Ghost City Falls in Love with Me?
The unscrupulous traders are just pretending to be real, and I didn't expect that there are such profiteers in the ghost market.
Jiang Li was holding a bracelet, which he bought from a one-eyed old ghost with a few pieces of broken jade.
If you look at it with the naked eye, this bracelet is not gold, not wood, as warm and moist as jade, and it looks like a treasure with spirituality.
It's just that after the spiritual energy enters the eyes, the rosary beads on this bracelet don't have any spirituality at all.
It was thirteen human eyeballs that were still rolling!
Even judging from the color of the irises of the eyes, one of them is the eyeball of the one-eyed old ghost.
The things bought in this place are really a bit of hell.
Although this thing only needs a little refining to become a magic weapon, he barely picked up a loophole this time.
But even monks with yin attribute spiritual roots like Jiang Li can't stand the heavy taste here. . .
Jiang Li looked at this group of ghosts who dared to sell anything, and was really speechless.
However, these guys are so keen on business, and with a little training, they might turn out to be good employees. It would be a pity to kill them casually.
Jiang Li walked to an uninhabited alley next to the ghost city street, and was taking out a stack of talisman papers from his arms, intending to use his newly learned talisman array to completely cover the area.
"Help!...help!...can anyone help me!"
However, at this moment, several sad and beautiful cries for help came, and just by hearing the voices, one could tell that the person must be the most beautiful person in the world, which made people think about it.
Soon, several figures appeared at the entrance of the alley.
At the back are three big men who are not good at first glance, chasing after him, and in front is a glamorous and refined girl in cool clothes who stumbles and runs.
There was a sound of silk cloth being torn, and the girl's dress was pulled by the big man behind, and then a large piece of gauze and tulle skirt was torn apart.
The girl suddenly let out a crisp exclamation, her body was covered only by pitiful strands, her browbones of icy muscles were exposed, reflecting a soul-stirring luster under the moonlight, then she fell down and fell at Jiang Li's feet .
"My lord! My lord, save me!"
Gollum~
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Li couldn't help swallowing, the girl in front of him is really shockingly beautiful.
Looking at Jiang Li's expression, the girl's eyes flashed an expression of "men are all the same", and then became more lovely and pitiful.
"Boy! Don't meddle in other people's business! Hand over that little lady to me! Otherwise, you will suffer a lot!"
The big man at the entrance of the alley also squeezed in. He didn't know when he had a thick-bladed bone-cutting knife used in a butcher's shop, and he was still trying his best to show a ferocious look.
"Young master! Leave me alone! Run away!"
The girl next to her is being hunted down, and she can still be so considerate of others. If it is an ordinary son who has not been deeply involved in the world, how can he not regard the "kind" her as the love of his life.
Jiang Li restrained his qi training and deliberately revealed the inner strength of an inner martial artist, making it even more difficult for people to see his true strength.This is probably the reason why the other party will come to the door.
Although he knew the situation was wrong, Jiang Li still didn't choose to do it directly, and finally triggered a "plot" event, which finally made him feel like a time traveler.
Although it is likely to be "immortal jump" after this, Jiang Li, who has the strength of his cultivation base, would not be afraid of this group of ghosts.
"When the road is injustice, you should draw your sword to help. Miss, don't panic, just stand behind me."
Jiang Li helped the girl up, then took off a pair of gloves on his hands, and stood in front of her.
This pair of gloves is made of the skin on the claws of the dragon tortoise, which is extremely tough. Jiang Li wears these gloves when he visits the ghost market, so as not to accidentally burn those ghosts to death.
"Boy! You want to ruin the good things of the uncle! You want to die!"
The strong man stepped forward fiercely, swung the bone-chopping knife and chopped off his head.
That kind of thick bone cutting knife can easily split even a pig's head or a cow's head. If an ordinary person touches it, the skull will be split in half.
But that was only for mortals, the bone-chopping knife with wisps of yin energy on its body stopped silently on top of Jiang Li's head.
Jiang Li's right hand seemed to be resting lightly on it, but the big man couldn't shake the bone-chopping knife even with all his strength.
呲呲呲!
Wisps of white smoke rose up. This bone-chopping knife was obviously made of yin matter. After touching Jiang Li's demon-breaking golden skin, it was immediately burnt with several deep fingerprints.
"get out!"
With one kick, Jiang Li kicked the three strong men out of the alley on this side, and smashed them into the house on the opposite side.
In that house, the illusion of flesh and blood of the three strong men gradually faded away, turning back into three blackened bones.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Jiang Li put the gloves on again, and then helped him up from the ground.
