Yan ghost

The puppet's condition is worse than yesterday.

When Qinghuai arrived, he found that he had been disemboweled and his soul was still in his body.Judging from the wound, the assailant didn't use any sharp weapon, but tore it apart, turning the inside of his body in a mess, as if he was looking for something.Qinghuai held up the puppet's hand, but was caught instead, and there was a tearing pain.He twisted a curse to lift him up from his body.

I saw a Rouyi soldier sitting up, with a few arrows stuck in his chest, presumably he was killed in the battle with the Soul Armor Army.I heard that there are many such Rouyi soldiers on the border, who are reluctant to give up their relatives and reincarnate.But once they possess the wooden armor, they are not allowed to return to their hometown, they can only communicate and let their relatives come to visit.Therefore, the bridge on the cliff is also called the Wangxiang Bridge, and there are always wooden armors wandering at the head of the bridge.

"Sorry I'm late. What's the matter?"

The soldier got up and floated aside to watch Qinghuai repair himself.He thought that this person could both mend his armor and leave his soul, he didn't care about himself, so he put down his guard. "I hid the soul-changing talisman in my body, but they dug it open and took it away."

"Soul-changing talisman?" Jing Tong asked.

"It is a forbidden item used to exchange wooden armor souls." Qinghuai explained, "Exchanging souls and possessing souls and departing souls are the three basic spells in Yanshi today. Once they are made into talismans, they will inevitably fall into the hands of unruly people. The master swore a death oath never to be a talisman when he was learning spells."

"Joke! It's not a forbidden thing here." Qing Huai turned her head, startled.The low wood behind him was severely decayed and covered with insect repellent.

Reluctantly, the next moment, he was pulled into this disgusting body.Seeing his fists hit again and again, he had no strength to fight back, and curled up on the ground with his head in his arms.The soldier's ghost tried to stop him, but failed several times.

A black shadow flashed away, bringing a gust of wind.Before the other party could figure out the situation, he was clamped under his body by negative hands.

The decayed puppet struggled and said, "The soul-changing talisman doesn't work? Why did I go back again?"

"Idiot! He will change his soul! Didn't you see that he lost his soul to that guy just now? Let you be smart and insist on robbing him." It was Jing Tong's body who was speaking, and he was also changed.

At some point, a group of puppets emerged from the surrounding area and approached Qinghuai.Different from the common dolls in the old city, most of them are standard wood, and even tall wood.Jing Tong's puppet hid behind those people, afraid of being replaced.

To save Jingtong, one must first find out which puppet he was replaced with.This group of puppets should be here to assist in the soul change. Since he and Jing Tong are the targets, the body they exchanged must be Takagi who is worse than them.Qinghuai searched around, and found that Yidaomu was covered with mildew, so she looked here.

"Tongtong!" He was about to cast a spell, but his sight was blocked, and the puppets rushed forward.A tall tree stepped on his head and put a rag over his mouth.

"Blindfold your eyes quickly, if he can't see, he won't be able to change his soul." His eyes darkened.

"Tie your hands and feet tightly, don't let him escape." His hands and feet were bound.

"My soul-changing talisman is useless, what should I do now?" The decaying puppet escaped from under him and kicked him.

"What should we do? If you sell him, you will have money to buy again. Enough is enough, stop kicking him, the price will drop. And you, what are you doing there in a daze. If you change your body, why don't you hurry up and get rid of him?" Dispose of your original moldy things."

Qinghuai was dragged to one place, the cloth in her mouth was torn off, and a puppet joint ball was inserted.There is a hook on the ball, which leads to a thin chain.Holding his head with one hand, the chain was drawn behind his head, and two nails were driven in.Finally, the blindfold was removed.

He knocked his head on the ground for a while before he woke up.Looking left and right, there are corridors.Behind him is a wall full of puppets, and in front of him is a fence that forms a cage.There are lanterns at the feet of the puppets, and one is placed every few steps, and the sizes vary according to the grade of the puppets.With chains on his feet, he can walk a few steps, close to the fence, but unable to reach the other puppets.He could move his hands, so he touched the ball of the joint in his mouth.Once the thing is stuffed in, it is difficult to take it out, and it hurts at the back of the head when it is touched a little, and it is impossible to take it off.

Outside the fence, there is a curtain drawn by spells, like streams of light and waterfalls, laid down from the eaves.Human voices came from behind the curtain, but the figure was indistinct.

"Let's go. The talisman seller is in front."

"Come and see these dolls. If we can just buy one, we don't need to find the body ourselves." The speaker wanted to reach in, but was bounced away by the spell.

The puppet dealer raised a corner of the curtain with a bamboo stick.A low wooden hand stretched out tremblingly, touching the high-ranking puppet on Qinghuai's right.But as soon as he touched it, he shrank back.

"Buy one? Do you know how expensive this kind of doll is? Don't say that the black market is [-]% of the guild price, and you can't afford [-]%." The companions mocked.That low wood probably figured out the price just now, and said disappointedly: "Let's go."

Qinghuai found that there was a price in front of each doll.He read the words written on the curtain and marveled at the specialty of this black market.The materials, functions, and years of use are all listed one by one, and the price is clearly marked.He glanced at the price of the high-end dolls around him, and couldn't help clicking his tongue.

He glanced at the puppet, was wiping his hands resentfully, then took out a small porcelain box from his waist, and wiped it on his hands.

"What are you looking at? This is balm. Those people don't know how dirty their hands are. I was imprisoned three days ago and touched countless times. Look, a box is almost empty." Hand wiping puppet Staring at Qinghuai, she wondered, "Why is your mouth sealed? Is it because you talk too much or your mouth is too poisonous?" Qinghuai tried to explain, but when she moved her mouth, her head hurt, so she shrugged her shoulders and didn't dare to shake her head.

Suddenly they heard someone shouting from the side.Looking back, it turned out that two people had come to take a puppet away.The puppet struggled, and someone who came would put a spell on him and put the soul into his sleeve.The doll was dragged away, and the lamp at his feet was blown out.

"Another one." The hand-wiping puppet said, "Yesterday the same thing happened to the person in your seat. He struggled too hard, and his soul was confiscated on the spot. If it was my turn, I would definitely not struggle. Anyway, I would be taken out anyway." .This black market is like a fish market. Some customers like live fish and take it home to process, while some customers like processed fish and can use it directly. If you meet a customer who wants live fish, you can live longer." said After finishing, the curtain in front of me was opened again, which is really welcome.The puppet sighed, it should have wiped its hands slowly.

"The texture is the same as real people."

"That is, the finest wood and leather. Soft to the touch and firm to the touch."

"It's just more expensive."

The curtain falls.The sound of footsteps spread from one side of Qinghuai to the other.On the other side of Qing Huai is a marker similar to him, sitting lazily cross-legged on the ground.Knowing that it was his turn, that Biaomu looked familiar and winked at Qinghuai.

"This doll is on sale recently."

"But what's the problem? It's not that the goods were returned."

"I haven't sold it for three months. I'm taking their place, and I'm anxious to get rid of it." After Baomu finished speaking, he was scratched by the bamboo stick.The buyer came to Qinghuai without saying a word.

"What about this? It's also a standard wood, so why is it more expensive?"

"[-]% of the standard wood issued by King Huai is new. The face is specially made, doesn't it look good?"

"That's it! It's specially made, so it won't be recognized by others. What's in his mouth?"

"This guy is dishonest, you can't let him talk. If you buy it, that thing will naturally be taken off." The bamboo stick stuck in and hooked the chain on Qinghuai's face.Qinghuai was in pain, so she had to lie down.

"Then why don't you just take out his soul?"

"Who wants to look at a doll without a soul that doesn't move at all. If you want something, you can try it with a soul directly. Even if you buy it, you can return it if you are not satisfied within three days."

"Well... I'll go over there again." From the buyer's tone, he probably won't come back.

The standard wood like Qinghuai has no distinctive features, so few people pay attention to it.But because of the wooden ball on his mouth, many onlookers were attracted.One person said: "This wooden ball is really fun, do you think he has a very sharp mouth hahaha." The other person said: "Maybe, why don't you find a dealer to give us a try?"

Biaomu on the side said: "He knows spells, and if he didn't shut up, he changed his soul and ran away with you." Qinghuai cooperated and cast a dark glance outside.Sure enough, many people left.Just as he was thinking that it was finally quiet, the curtain in front of him was lifted again.

Biaomu said: "There are still people who have not been scared away."

This time, it was not the dealer's bamboo stick that lifted the curtain, but a hand.I don't know when there were more talismans on the curtain, no wonder the hand was not bounced away by the mana.

Qinghuai thought, this hand is really good, it is either a noble person, or a high-end puppet.He slowly moved his face to that hand, and at the moment he was about to touch it, he turned his head unceremoniously.

"..." The wooden ball was stained with blood, and the hook cut the hand.The other party didn't make a sound, and didn't stop.

Qing Huai pulled that hand, drawing a talisman on his face with his bleeding fingertips, his temple hair was light.He leaned against the fence and fell asleep.The people outside the curtain knew that he had borrowed the blood book talisman, but they didn't know that the talisman was not the spell of leaving the soul, so they pretended nothing happened and left.

In the black market, apart from doll charms, mechanical accessories are the most popular.Many people come here to buy a piece of emotional consciousness, pick out a voice wire, and assemble it by themselves.The machines sold here are much cheaper than those in guilds and night markets, because they are all raw from dolls.The more bloody the machine, the more expensive it is.Because most dolls don't bleed, those with blood stains must be Takagi's top performers.As a result, there are still some dealers deliberately stained with blood and cheated to raise the price.

The man picked up a machine called "Weeping Tears" and played with it in his hands.The businessman came up and said: "This spell connects sorrow and joy. Weep when we are overjoyed, and weep when we are sad. Dial here to adjust the degree of easy crying. The lacrimal sac is here, and you need to add it when it is used up. Add some salt to clean water, it is real and not easy to smell." The man said I see.

"Are you buying it for yourself or as a gift?"

"It's not good to give this away."

"It's not good. Let me tell you, you give it to someone who is stubborn, and then adjust the easy-to-cry level to the highest, and try to make it fun for you." The man laughed loudly, as if thinking of someone to give it to.

The man looked at the spell again.There are many stalls selling charms, and the higher the asking price, the more room for bargaining.

A stall on the side was overturned, surrounded by a group of people.The man went up to have a look, and it turned out that Gao Mu accused the dealer of selling him fake charms.That low wood spent more than half a year targeting a high wood without a signature. Everything was planned and a spell was pasted on, but nothing happened, and he was beaten violently by the other party.

"Give me a soul-changing talisman." The man walked to the busiest stall.

The dealer took out not one but four charms.In two copies, one set of two sheets.The businessman also had a tumbler in his hand, as if he kept secret.The man picked it up and weighed it in his hand, which was much heavier than ordinary tumblers.

The dealer asked, "Do you know how to use it?" The man shook his head.So the dealer took out one pair of charms and put it in the man's hand, and kept one in his own hand, and took out another pair of charms and pasted it on the tumbler, and kept another one in his hand.He held the tumbler in the air, dropped it suddenly, and immediately caught it with the other hand.

"Hide it where no one can find it, and no one will take revenge on you for changing your soul. Remember not to break it, or the soul will escape if you break it."

"It saves you from worrying about the future." The humane said, "But if the victim ghost wants to take revenge, it will come back to you to buy a soul-changing talisman. Wouldn't you cut off your own money by doing this?"

"Can we go out to do business without brains? It's not because the recent soul change has attracted the attention of King Huai, so the guests are asked to keep a low profile."

The man nodded and took out the money to pay the bill.The dealer's face changed, and he said alertly: "Why did you buy the soul-changing talisman?" The low trees in front of the stall were all carrying stolen goods, and they exchanged things for talismans, bargaining, and the man paid the money without hesitation, which was really weird.

"Naturally, it's a soul change."

"Who is the soul to change? Why do you want to change?" Seeing the man thinking about it, the businessman grabbed him and said, "I have to think about it too? Don't leave today!"

At this time, several heavy mechas were ordered to come from all directions.These mechas came from the Soul Armor Army captured by Chilan three years ago. After several battles, they are already obsolete.I heard that the mechas of the Soul Armor Army are extremely tough, they can crush people into powder with bare hands, and swords are useless.After the war, King Huai took them into custody, and he didn't know how these planes flowed into the black market, where they were dealing with troubles and disputes.

People ran away in fright.Seeing the situation, the man withdrew and blended into the crowd, and he didn't want any spells.

A person on the road said: "You bought this doll really well. It looks beautiful and the price is good."

Another person said: "Good luck, the price has suddenly dropped. I don't understand. It's not a big problem if the doll has no soul. Why is the dealer nervous and eager to make a move. Oh, brat, why did you hit me!"

The man recognized that the person he bumped into was the puppet that cut his hand just now.I didn't expect him to be bought so soon.

At this moment, a black vortex appeared in the air, everyone raised their heads, and the vortex was fleeting.The next moment, the entire black market was buzzing.

"Fuck! Who changed my soul?"

"Whoever took my body, have the courage to stand up!"

"What's the matter, I was replaced too."

For a moment, more than a dozen puppets huddled together and questioned each other.The mechas had no time to hunt down the man, and turned to push aside the fighting crowd.The man took advantage of the situation and left.

Qing Huai watched the man's back and let out a sigh of relief.This move changed his soul greatly, and he repaid the favor of borrowing blood.

It turned out that just now he didn't say he didn't want to, as if holding his breath, he clinged to that person and walked around the black market.Now he has finally changed his soul and returned to his body.

He touched the back of his head, his head was still hurting, and he was about to leave, when suddenly his soul came out of his body.

Someone behind said: "You secretly cast spells and create a black market, what is your purpose?"
