Yan ghost

The visitor stepped into the illusion, walked leisurely to the treasure chest, bowed with his hands behind his back, picked up a wooden armor, and said with a smile: "Master Zhu, you told me last time that you don't sell wooden armor, why are there so many here. But the servants in the mansion can’t move it, how about I hand it over for you?”

"Hey! Mr. Shen, don't! Why don't we share it. How about five to five?" Master Zhu stretched out his hand to the young man surnamed Shen, wanting him to put down the wooden armor, but he didn't dare to touch him at all.

Mr. Shen stared at Master Zhu and said: "Do you think I am short of money?" Master Zhu waved his hand and said, "No shortage, no shortage. I seven you three?"

"A profiteer." Mr. Shen put his hands on his waist, and his sword trembled.

"Wrong, wrong, I three you seven."

"I don't want money."

Mr. Shen drew his sword and pointed at the wooden armor, but was blocked by a sword.He asked: "Who are you?" Shi Ting held his sword and did not answer.He smiled and put away the sword instead.

The ten treasure chests creaked, and they were all opened even though they were locked.Hundreds of wooden armors stood up and flocked to the time court.Seeing that Shi Ting lost to Mu Jia and was crushed under him, Master Zhu wanted to secretly pull him out.Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched someone, there would be a voice from the upper hand.

"A high-level puppet. A handsome man. Can fight, eat, drink, have sex, and shed tears. Has a soul. The recommended price is [-] gold."

"Not bad." Mr. Shen took Master Zhu's peach branch and put it on, bent down and pushed it a few times, and piled up ten boxes in one place.

"Wooden Armor 120. Suggested price is 37 gold." Master Zhu became emotional when he heard this.But Mr. Shen still felt regretful for some reason.

Mr. Shen checked the wooden armor and found Xiang Yan's signature. He picked up Mr. Zhu and asked, "Tell me! Where did you get these wooden armors?" Mr. Zhu replied, "I fished them from the lake." There will be wooden armor." Master Zhu glanced at Shi Ting and said, "Then you have to ask him." After saying that, Mr. Shen kicked him out.

"Are you also Xiang Yan's puppet?"

"No."

"But I am."

Mr. Shen rolled up his right sleeve and showed his signature on his wrist.Sure enough, there was Xiang Yan's engraving, but the doll's exclusive signature was missing.Mr. Shen asked: "Where is he now?" Shi Ting said: "It's been ten years since he died." Mr. Shen opened his mouth slightly, and then sighed silently.

Shi Ting asked: "Since you are a puppet, why do you force him to hand over the wooden armor?"

Mr. Shen smiled and said: "That was to bluff him. These wooden armor merchants usually search for hidden high-end dolls in the city, trying to trick them into their homes and sell them to other countries. I just turned them in under the pretext of saving the dolls."

"An excuse to turn in?"

Mr. Shen took a leisurely walk to watch the illusion, and replied: "I have offended many merchants by doing this. If I let them know that I have not turned in, they will definitely conspire to confess me and give me the crime of covering up and hiding. In front of the high priest, I will count as If it is revealed that they are wood armor merchants, they will deny it flatly, and no one will believe me."

Mr. Shen turned around and asked Shi Ting: "Since it's Xiang Yan's wooden armor, I guess you are not from the local area." Shi Ting shook his head.Mr. Shen said: "Then I will send you back?" Shi Ting only said: "We will not return for the time being."

Although Mr. Shen was suspicious, he didn't want to ask further questions, so he changed his words: "Just now he said that you appeared from the lake?"

Shi Ting said: "We passed by here on a roc bird, and we were knocked down by a group of cranes." Mr. Shen laughed and said, "Peng Niao! Long time no see. Is there any other wooden armor?" Shi Ting said: "Some are in the Come on Pengniao." Mr. Shen said: "In that case, I will send you back to Pengniao." He waved his sleeves, and the wooden armors lined up to enter the wooden box, and the last one even covered the box.

"Thank you son. I haven't asked for my name yet." Shi Ting bowed.

"Shen Tan."

"Qinghuai."

It was already night when Shi Ting took Mujia back to Pengniao.Strange light overflows the sky above Shenjing, dancing like neon clothes, changing from green to purple and then from purple to red, which is probably the work of Yunguan again.Xiang Yu leaned in front of the window and asked: "There is no night scene in the real fairyland." Shi Ting said: "The scene here is for mortals to dream about, and the scene at night is for gods to admire. Where are they descending from?"

Xiang Yu looked down and saw a person waving goodbye on the bank, and asked: "Who is this?" Shi Ting said: "It's also your brother's puppet." Xiang Yu said: "Why did Xiang Yan give it back to the Rouyi people?" Be a puppet and be merciful everywhere."

Shi Ting was helpless, and asked instead: "How did you fix Pengniao?" Xiang Yu said, "Have nailed a few boards." He raised his head and thought for a while, and added: "A few wooden armors also helped." Shi Ting smiled and said nothing.

After talking to Yu and Shi Ting a few more times, he went out.This time the wooden armors all tied their belts and sat on the seats, all of them were afraid of falling during the day.Seeing that the seat was a little more empty than when he came, Xiang Yu asked strangely, "Why are so many people missing?"

"Go change clothes." Di Jiang said.

"Yeah...you're drinking again." Xiang Yu shook his hand to dispel the smell of alcohol.It turned out that the wooden armors had finished drinking and went to throw away the wine bag.

Di Jiang handed over a cup and said, "This Rouyi's Pear Blossom Spring is very exciting. Would you like some, too?" Xiang Yu took a sip and said, "Xiang Yan seems to like this wine very much. Come back." Just as he was talking, Xiang Liu got up and walked back blankly, and he followed.

Xiang Liu waved his hands and said, "I'm not drunk, what are you helping me with?"

Xiang Yu said: "He can't walk steadily when his head is drunk, but you have nine heads and say you don't want to help him." Xiang Liu went into the latrine, and there was a loud noise.Xiang Yu guessed, but Xiang Yan even made him nine wine bags?

"Come in and help me." A voice came from inside.Xiang Yu thought this was too embarrassing.Seeing that the door was ajar, he was hesitating whether to go in, when suddenly a hand stretched out and dragged him in.

"Wow—" A gust of cold wind hits his face, and he can see the panoramic view of Shenjing below him.Xiang Yu was forced to hold his head in the toilet and struggled non-stop.Fortunately, the bird is covered with wooden armor, and the toilet only smells of alcohol.

"Can't you go down? It's so small. It's like them, it's dismembered first." After finishing speaking, the person behind pulled Xiang Yu up and turned over.

Xiang Yu said: "You... how did you get up here..." The puppet who was waving on the shore just now stood in front of him.

"Feisheng." Shen Tan grinned and picked up Xiang Yu's clothes.

"Mom, what are you doing!"

"If you don't strip you naked, how can you cut it—" Suddenly, the hand stopped.Shen Tan carefully looked at the signature on Xiang Yu's back, and said with a sneer, "Today, I sent both of your puppets to me. It seems that my fortune is really changing, and I'm going to make it to the end."

Seeing that Shen Tan was slack, Xiang Yu pushed him away and rushed out, just in time to throw himself into Yuanli's arms.

"Wooden armor transforms!" Thick fog sprayed out from the latrine, and someone came out.

Yuan Li shouted: "Xiang Liu! What did you do to the young master!" As soon as he said that, he and Xiang Yu were surrounded by two snakes.The body of the snake became tighter and tighter, Yuanli's material was not strong, and there were several cracks.

"Who!" Shen Tan felt another force rushing into his body to fight against it.

Immediately afterwards, the nine snakes collapsed.Seeing the momentum, Xiang Yu turned around and gave Shen Tan a bunch of fists, knocking him back to his original shape.He called for some wooden armors, tied them up, and took them to Shi Ting.

When Shi Ting saw that it was Shen Tan, he also asked strangely: "How did you come up here?"

Xiang Yuqi said: "This guy just killed thirteen wooden armors and threw them all down the toilet!"

"You pretended to save us..."

"It's just to kill all of you wooden armors." Shen Tan laughed.

"Xiang Yu, take out his soul and take a look." Shi Ting said, "He has your brother's signature on him, but he still wants to kill us. I don't think he is the owner of this body." Can't pull out the soul.

"Don't try it, if I could come out, I would have come out more than ten years ago." Shen Tan said with a light smile, "Don't try it either."

Shi Ting asked: "Who are you talking about?" Shen Tan was about to speak, when he suddenly bit his arm, faltering and saying nothing.After a while, there were tears in his eyes.

When Shi Ting approached, Shen Tan lowered his face.Shi Ting moved closer, and he leaned back.When Shi Ting wiped his tears, he let go of his hand in fright.

"You—" He just uttered two words, and raised his hand to bite again.

Shi Ting asked: "Us?" The other party remained silent.

Pengniao drove all night.Before dawn, they flew up a stretch of mountains.Among the mountains and mountains, there is a valley hidden very deep.Flying closer, I saw a pond, there was no grass growing around it, only some whitish dead wood and bones.On the pond, a huge tank with a height of dozens of people was dumped, half submerged in the pond.If they didn't fly here, they don't know that they will have to be trapped in this mountain for several days before they can reach it.

Shen Tan sobbed, as if asking why he came to the village of the dead.Shi Ting whispered: "Help me get rid of the soul, I'll go down and find out." Shen Tan really got rid of the soul for him.

Shiting fell from the sky.But I saw strands of ghosts flying past quickly, undressing while running.He caught up with a ghost and asked, "What are you all rushing to do?"

"Your first time here?" The ghost looked desolate with tears in his eyes.He pointed to the horizon: "Look. Yanfang is going to send people to fetch water. We have to make the last soup before they come." After speaking, the ghost jumped into the pool.Seeing that Shi Ting was still looking up to the sky, he said again: "You come down first, and I will explain to you when you come down."

When the court was dressed down, once entering the cold spring, I couldn't help closing my eyes, and my ears were full of ghosts sighing and refreshing one after another.

The ghost said: "Let's have fun. The water in the Youyu can turn hostility and forget sorrow. Ghosts come to Undead Township for this soup. I come here twice a year."

Shi Ting slowly opened his eyes, and saw many ghosts swimming into the tank.It turned out that it was almost dawn, and everyone went to the shade to avoid the sun.

The ghost said again: "It's still the off-season. During the peak season, there are so many ghosts that they can't squeeze in. I always choose the off-season to come. However, I heard that the number of ghosts coming in the peak season has also begun to decrease recently. Many ghosts have become wooden armor, so they don't come." The land of the dead."

This undead township is the same as Taoyuan township. It is rumored that it is the entrance to the ghost world and the fairy world, but in fact it is man-made.The former is to drive away ghosts from the city, and the latter is to lure immortals down to earth.Ever since, one became a sanatorium for the undead, and the other became a fairy resort.

There are foreign merchants selling drinks and snacks in the tank.The most popular is a kind of wine, called "Jin Yu Huan".As soon as you drink this wine, you will put it on your head, and offer all the joys of this life.It is held in a bronze bottle, the black smoke is waving, and it only costs ten paper money.

"Come, I invite you." The ghost handed Shi Ting a bottle.The two toasted in the pool and drank it all in one gulp.

Shi Ting leaned against the tank, thinking of soaking in the hot springs in Taoyuan Township in the past, and asked Mr. Yan to do everything possible to pull him up.It doesn't mean to treat him to a good meal, but it means to ask him to accompany him to the shop.He remembered that although Rouyi's dishes were wonderful, they were not delicious, and most of the exquisite celestial objects in the shop were fakes.Thinking about it now, Xiang Yan probably tricked him away with the excuse that he didn't want the wooden armor to soak in the water for too long.

There was a loud mechanical noise not far away, and a spaceship arrived.Several Yanfang soldiers entered the pool to clear the field.Shi Ting got up.The ghost stopped him and said, "Don't worry, the ghosts usually stay put first. It will take a while to clear the scene, we can stay for a while, and finally leave."

Shi Ting nodded and lay back, but the drunkenness had been faded away by the coming Yanfang spaceship.He asked the ghost: "Why did you just say that it is off-season now?"

The ghost said: "Yanfang sends people to fetch water every six months, and there is no need to soak it every time. So the most ghosts come between the two water fetches. I like to come before the time they fetch water, so I don't have to squeeze with people. , and I’m not afraid of running out of water, just hurry up.”

Shi Ting asked again: "Then the ghosts have wooden armor, why don't they come to the village of the dead?"

"Why don't you think about it? Since Yanfang bought out the cold spring, they refused to allow Mujia and people to enter." The ghost asked Shi Ting: "Do you know why Yanfang bought the cold spring from Rouyi?"

"Protect against wood beetle plague?"

"Yo, I know quite a lot." Ghost said, "Do you think that if wooden armor and people were allowed to come in at will, wouldn't the cold spring be scooped up? Only when our ghosts can't touch these human things, they are willing to let them in.

Don't look at this village of the dead as just an ordinary valley.In fact, there is an invisible legal obstacle.Once wooden armor and people touch it, they will be attacked by black fire.At that time, a group of merchants who were not afraid of death came to fetch water to sell, but they were burned to ashes immediately.You see there are still a few bomb craters there. "Shi Ting looked over there, and sure enough the ground was sinking, and the border was close by.

The Yanfang soldiers came to drive out the ghosts again, and took away a few of them.The cowardly ghosts all got up and left.Seeing that time was running out, Shi Ting bid farewell to the ghost beside him and flew to the sky.

Back at Pengniao, Shi Ting saw Xiang Yu sitting beside him.Shen Tan was pushed to the ground without saying a word or gnawing his hands.

Xiang Yu said: "Why did you run away alone? I came in just now and found that this guy was controlling Pengniao."

Shi Ting helped Shen Tan up, and said: "Yanfang is about to send people to fetch water. It may take another three months to have water after the water is fetched. We must not miss this opportunity."

Xiang Yu said: "Then let's attack before they come. They can't see us."

Shi Ting shook his head and said, "There are barriers around Undead Village that will attack wooden armor. Don't take risks lightly."

Shen Tan leaned against the console, picked up the miniature bird on the map with his right hand, spread out his left hand, folded it up, and put it in his palm.He raised his hand, slowly moved it away, and twisted the Pengniao again.Shi Ting looked at it carefully three times, and suddenly said: "Xiang Yu, go and distribute water-proof magic weapons to the wooden armors."
