My future diary cannot be the last one

Chapter 279 Medicine Seller

Those who sell medicine, those who sew corpses, those who tie paper, those who dig graves, and those who make coffins.

These are the extraordinary beings still alive in the ghost market today. When mentioning them, the old man's interest arose. Not only did he offer to show Xun Xi the way, he even looked impatient, as if he wanted Xun Xi to go find them immediately, and he felt like he was gloating about his misfortune.

"Then go and have a look."

On the other hand, Xun Xi did not reject the old man's proposal. After all, there seemed to be some connection between the mysterious wandering Taoist priest and the ghost market.

There is also Luofeng County.

Xun Xi has not forgotten that this so-called ghost market is actually just a street in Luofeng County, not the whole of Luofeng County.

The county is what it is. Everything is shrouded in mist. Through other people in the ghost market, Xun Xi felt that she might be able to find some relevant clues. As for the old man's problem of being unable to leave without an invitation letter, Xun Xi was not worried.

After all, he is different from the old man.

Because Xun Xi did not enter the ghost market relying on the so-called invitation letter, but relied on his own country to break through the fog and broke into the ghost market.

So if he wants to leave.

Just do it again.

"it's dark."

Walk out of the shop where the old man was hiding. At this moment, as the thick smoke dispersed, the entire sky fell into darkness that was difficult to see. Then the old man took out a red candle from his arms and lit it, and a faint candle light illuminated the darkness.

"This is corpse wax."

The old man held up the candle and explained in a low voice: "This is something made by the guy who dug the grave. The material is a corpse contaminated with supernatural beings."

"The effect is also very simple."

"That is to attract supernatural beings. Basically, as long as the candle is lit, the supernatural beings will be attracted by the candlelight. It is a treasure for digging graves."

"Just hold the candle, walk up to the supernatural being of your choice, blow out the candle, and then the supernatural being will come to you to gamble. Then just try your best to delay, under the protection of the ghost market rules, the gambling period is There will be no other supernatural beings to interfere with you."

"This can be considered a life-saving method."

"But it's a matter of discernment. After all, if you choose a mortal being to bet against, then this behavior is basically asking for death."

"I see."

Xun Xi nodded when he heard this: "There are many supernatural beings in tombs. Using this corpse wax can divert the supernatural beings away from the mountain, making it easier to dig graves."

"Yes."

The old man continued: "At the same time, this can be regarded as a certificate for us old guys. After all, it is so dark in the ghost market that you can't see your fingers. God knows whether the people next to you are humans or ghosts. And lighting candles also makes it easier for us to communicate with each other. If necessary, we can also join forces to fight against the supernatural."

Talking and talking.

Everyone has walked a long way on the factory street of the ghost market. And in the boundless darkness, a candlelight suddenly came into Xun Xi's eyes.

"We've arrived at the first house."

The old man explained in a timely manner: "The first store sells medicine. His medicine is good. Many newcomers to the ghost market like his store the most."

"Oh why?"

"Because he has a unique skill." At this point, the old man also seemed a little impressed: "He can use supernatural powers as medicine, and the medicine he makes can be taken by ordinary people. After taking the medicine, ordinary people can not only become extraordinary people. And there is almost no risk of paranormal loss of control.”

"impossible!"

As soon as these words came out, before Xun Xi said anything, Luo Chong was the first to open his eyes: "Mass-producing extraordinary beings? How in the world can such a thing be possible!"

"Ignorant."

Hearing this, the old man glanced at Luo Chong and said disdainfully: "Is this strange? There is almost no risk of losing control of such extraordinary beings who take medicine."

"But correspondingly, there is no room for growth."

"You'll basically be there for the rest of your life, unless you take stronger drugs."

"In other words, if you take his medicine, you can only rely on his medicine to become stronger, so this medicine is actually just a trap."

After speaking, the old man shook his head.

But at this moment-——

"It's not a good habit to leak other people's supernatural information."

Under the candlelight not far away, a rickety figure appeared in the candlelight without any warning. The shadow was pulled straight under the candlelight. The sound was accompanied by a heavy breath, causing the candlelight to sway. Then the wind suddenly picked up, bringing a biting chill.

"The medicine seller is not dead yet." The old man said sarcastically.

"Old and crippled." The rickety figure refused to give an inch, directly uncovered his shorts, and said in a bad tone: "What do you want to buy when you bring these young people to my place?"

After speaking, he looked at Xun Xi and others again.

The first sight fell on Luo Chong, and the rickety figure immediately sneered: "Did you eat the smoke of the gods by mistake? Then you don't need to buy medicine. It can't be cured and there is no hope. Say goodbye. Go to the coffin shop to order a coffin as soon as possible. By the way, Go to the cobbler’s place and buy a VIP, you’ll need it tomorrow.”

Then he looked at Xun Xi again.

"Huh? Looking at it, the rickety figure suddenly said, "What's going on? The hall is dark. Are you haunted by evil spirits?" "

"Really!?"

When Xun Xi heard this, he was immediately shocked. He quickly called out Si Nian and asked him to check. Then he shook his head and said, "I'm not haunted by evil spirits."

Drug seller: "."

You also said you are not haunted by evil spirits! ?

After a moment of silence, the rickety figure selling medicine shook his head and said: "Forget it, you are fine, you don't need medicine, and I don't have medicine worthy of you."

"That's just right." Xun Xi nodded: "I'm not here to buy medicine."

"Then what do you want to buy?"

"I want to buy information." Xun Xi went directly to the topic: "Do you know a wandering Taoist priest? Has he bought any medicine from you?"

"."

To be honest, Xun Xi didn't actually expect to find clues so quickly, and asking such a question was just a routine inquiry. However, what he didn't expect was--

"Wandering Taoist priest?"

The medicine seller was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Ah, you mean Xu Junfang, right? He ordered a medicine from me."

"You know him!?"

Xun Xi's pupils instantly tightened, and he did not doubt the other party's words because he said the name "Xu Junfang". The last time Xun Xi heard this name was at the Ghost Gate Inn. In the memory of the ancient Jingguisi captain, it was definitely not something that ordinary people had the ability to know.

And at the same time.

After seeing Xun Xi's attitude, the rickety figure seemed to realize something, and his voice became a little more playful: "It seems that you have a problem with him?"

"Then why don't you take a gamble?"

"I lost to Junfang, so I could only make medicine for him, and I had to abide by the conditions, so I couldn't leak the contents of the medicine."

"If you want to know."

"The only way is to bet with me and win."

".What are you betting on?"

"If you lose, I'll give you information. And if I win." At this point, the drug seller's eyes were blazing, and he kept looking up and down Xun Xi's body, as if he was looking at some tempting delicacy: ".I I won’t kill you either, but I want one of your supernatural powers to be used as medicine.”

"I have a hunch that you will be a great medicine."

". Want my supernatural power?" Xun Xi's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and then he suddenly grinned: "Let me tell you first, what are you going to bet with me?"

"Bet on taking medicine."

The rickety figure turned around and entered the store, then took out a stack of five layers of medicine wrapped in yellow paper and red string, and brought it to Xun Xi.

"These five packets of medicine will separate the supernatural beings in your body."

"You take it. If you can resist the effect of the medicine, I lose. If you don't, the supernatural being separated by the medicine belongs to me."

"Of course, you can choose the target of the medicine's power and which supernatural being to remove."

Xun Xi thought for a moment after hearing this.

".make a deal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a melodious bell suddenly sounded from deep in the street where the ghost market was located, and then Xun Xi felt that something supernatural had locked onto him.

Immediately afterwards——

"The bet is established."

——

In the dark, Xun Xi seemed to hear an old voice whispering in his ear. However, in addition, Xun Xi also heard a young and energetic, but inaudible voice overlapping it. But after the old man finished speaking, the young voice did not stop.

He said:

"You're so desperate for money, you're so shameless, you're here to beg for food?"
