Outside Fengdu City, there was a long queue that stretched beyond sight. It was like a worm, moving forward a little from time to time.
There was a table beside the door of Fengdu. There was only a piece of paper, a pen, and a teacup on the table. And sitting on the edge of the tea cup was a little green ghost who was mumbling something, and the pen and paper on the table was in its hands.
"The future is endless, don't stop... the next one is the next one! The future is endless, don't stop..." The teacup ghost didn't even raise his eyelids, but just repeated these two sentences from beginning to end, with paper and pen flying in his hand.
"Next, next... hurry up, don't stand still!" The teacup ghost was busy at a moment when he suddenly felt a figure not far away that hadn't moved for a long time. He also hurriedly urged, "Come on, go help the lost person." The guy guides the maze!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures appeared out of nowhere, one on the left and one on the right in front of the visitor: "Newcomer, please come this way!"
Qing She came here according to the captain's reminder, but saw that the teacup ghost was busy, and was too embarrassed to disturb him. However, he did not expect that the teacup ghost started to chase people away without even looking at him, and he also hurriedly explained: "You two, I am We’re here to find the Teacup Ghost!”
"Master Teacup Ghost is on official business, please don't disturb me if you are waiting for others!" The two figures here have black paper on their faces, but their faces cannot be seen clearly, and only their cold voices can be heard.
"I just want to ask a few words and then leave." Qingshe was a little anxious, so he pushed aside the two of them and pushed forward.
"Master Teacup Ghost is on official business, so don't disturb anyone else!" The two guys said coldly again, then their arms turned into black whips, and they were about to wrap around Qingshe.
At this moment, the teacup ghost happened to finish his writing, and he took the time to look up and glance over, wanting to see who was so persistent, and then he realized that the face in front of him looked familiar.
As the registrar of the household hall, Teacup Ghost sees countless faces every day, but there are only a few faces that he has to remember clearly.
"Ouch! Too..." The teacup ghost almost fell off the edge and hurriedly swallowed half of the words that followed, "You two, please stop being rude! Come and take some time for me!"
When the two of them saw Teacup Ghost's nervous expression, they were also suspicious. However, upon hearing the former's instructions, they hurriedly took over the Teacup Ghost's work and started to register, but the speed was much slower than the former.
"Please come with me." The Teacup Ghost looked around, then led Qingshe to a hidden location a little further away, then bowed and saluted: "The Teacup Ghost pays homage to the Taiyin King!"
"We are semi-acquaintances, so there is no need to be polite." The teacup ghost was originally described as petite, but his salute was a bit shorter. Qingshe simply sat on the ground with his knees crossed, which made communication much easier.
"King Taiyin, why didn't you put on that white paper mask?"
This white paper mask was prepared for Qingshe by the old palace master Zhifu Wang, in order to cover Qingshe's childish face and add a mysterious atmosphere. In other words, Qingshe can only be Qingshe if he takes off the white paper mask, but he is the Taiyin King only if he puts on the mask.
Hearing this, Qingshe took out a corner of the white paper mask from his arms: "I just think wearing a white paper mask is too ostentatious. It is more convenient to act like this and not attract attention."
The teacup ghost was speechless for a moment and had no words to retort. He could only lower his voice and said: "King Taiyin, do you know why the other five halls are so quiet?"
Qing She knew what the teacup ghost meant and nodded slightly: "I heard it was because of busy business."
"This is just prevarication!" Teacup Ghost shook his head.
According to the past situation, no matter which palace changes its master, the new and old masters will gather in the Ghost Emperor Palace to get acquainted with each other. However, since Qingshe took office, not only the gate of the Ghost Emperor has been closed, but also the other five. He couldn't see the figure of the palace master either.
"Is it because the Ghost Emperor has doubts about me?" Qingshe asked nervously.
"The Ghost Emperor is simply not here, and the Ghost Emperor has already acquiesced to the old palace master to make the decision regarding this matter, so there is no need for the Taiyin King to worry!" Teacup Ghost quickly explained, "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with the other five palaces... It should be said that it is related to the palace masters of the fourth palace!"
"Appreciate further details……"
"Before you, no matter which palace master you were, they all came out of the trough, so it is not surprising no matter who becomes the palace master. But you seem to have fallen out of thin air, making it impossible for people to see clearly! So the other four palace masters On the surface, I say that I won’t disturb you for the sake of peace among the six palaces, but in fact, I want to find an opportunity to find out your details!”
Teacup Ghost also said that there had been a big chaos in these six halls before, and three hall masters were lost. The newly appointed palace masters are closely related to each other for this reason, so they reject this "lucky" outsider.
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen..." Qingshe frowned. He had been sorting out information these days and had never even left the main hall, so he didn't know about it.
"So Taiyin King, you'd better put on this white paper mask... After all, it's not certain when the Ghost Emperor will come back. You can only rely on the mystery it brings to delay it for some time!" Teacup Ghost said.
"Why are you helping me?" Qingshe was a little confused. After all, the teacup ghost in front of him was a subordinate of Toden.
"To be honest with King Taiyin, I actually have other plans..." Teacup Ghost's expression changed and he finally revealed the truth, "The reason why I am like this is actually for King Green Ghost..."
"Are you talking about the Qinggui King, the master of the Li Hall?" Qingshe was stunned. He vaguely remembered that the Qinggui King was the master of the Li Hall, but why did the teacup ghost in the Hudian have anything to do with the Li Hall?
"That's right..." Teacup Ghost looked disappointed for a while, "Master Qinggui King once treated me with great kindness, and now I can't bear to turn a blind eye when the Ceremony Hall is being ostracized! But I am so weak and powerless, and the masters of the other four halls are counting on me. No, the old palace master finally agreed to help me, but..."
Qingshe didn't know if Teacup Ghost knew about King Zhifu, but he didn't say much. He just said, "How can I help you with this matter?"
The teacup ghost didn't react for a moment: "Taiyin King, you...you mean you want to help me?"
Qingshe smiled and nodded: "But before that, there is something I need your help with."
The teacup ghost nodded repeatedly: "Taiyin King, please speak."
Qingshe briefly explained the conversation with the captain, and then asked the purpose of his visit: "I am looking for you this time because I want to ask you about the Vientiane Market."
"King Taiyin, you said you are going to the Vientiane Market?" Teacup Ghost exclaimed.
"Why... are there any conditions for entering this Vientiane Market?" Qingshe asked hurriedly after seeing something was wrong with Teacup Ghost's face.
"Well... you need a voucher to enter the Wanxiang Market for the first time, but I have this over there, so Taiyin King doesn't have to worry about it... It's just..." Although no one passed by here, the teacup ghost still cautiously He looked around and said, "It's just that the other four palace masters have been frequenting the Vientiane Market recently... I'm worried that you will meet in advance..."
"Oh? But what treasures are there in this Vientiane Market?" Upon hearing this, Qingshe suddenly became energetic.
"It doesn't seem like it. If there is really a treasure, the palace masters should have taken action long ago. There is no need to linger here..." Teacup Ghost shook his head repeatedly, "I don't know the specific reason... but going to the Vientiane Market, Taiyin The king should think twice!"
"There's nothing to think twice about. I have to take this risk no matter what!" Qingshe didn't take it to heart, but patted his chest, "Besides, I still have this white paper mask to wear."
Teacup Ghost was speechless for a while after hearing this, secretly thinking that this mask could only help hide his aura, but it was not a life-saving charm... But when he saw Qingshe's determined expression, he could only sigh: "Since King Taiyin has decided to go, please give me this token." Take it..." As he said this, the teacup ghost opened his mouth wide and spit out a wooden sign.
After taking the wooden sign, Qingshe didn't hesitate, thanked him directly and followed the teacup ghost's direction, leaving only the latter sighing.
When we reached the end of the road, there was only a stone pier in front of us. No matter which direction we looked at it, it had nothing to do with the word entrance.
Just when Qingshe was about to approach the square stone pier to take a closer look, he heard a sweet voice not far away: "Show me your proof!"
Qingshe turned around and saw a young man with a childish face sitting not far away. However, this man was facing the chessboard and did not even look at himself.
Even so, Qingshe did not feel offended and hurriedly handed over the wooden sign.
"Go in." The young man still didn't turn his head, but just dropped his hand, as if nothing happened.
At the same time as the chess piece fell, Qingshe heard a light sound in his ears. He turned around and saw that it was the scroll unfolding on the stone pier.
In the center of the painting is a mass of indescribable chaos. There is an attraction on it, which means it is a passage.
Although Qing She has never experienced it, he is a Moon Watcher after all, and he has heard of strange things. Especially with the information in the palace that King Zhifu left for him before, he was still calm when he saw the situation in front of him, and jumped into it with a straight body.
"Boom!"
But just when he jumped into the passage, there was a sudden thunder in his ears, which shocked him with stars in his eyes.
"What's going on?" Qingshe covered his ears and looked around. He saw that he was in a blaze of glory, but the sky above his head was filled with layers of black thunder, spreading towards him with claws and teeth.
"Could it be that this is the Vientiane Market?" The captain of the official palace and the teacup ghost had never been there before, and they were vague about the situation in the Vientiane Market. Qing She looked around, but couldn't find any scenery that could be related to the market.
"Excuse me...is there anyone there?" Qingshe tried calling a few times, but found that the space here was too strange. His voice only reached a few feet, and he could no longer move forward.
Just as a dark thunder above his head was about to devour him, another round white light not far away rushed towards him quickly.
By the time Qingshe reacted, it was already too late. He could only curl up into a ball, trying to use Taiyin energy to resist the white light attack.
I don't know how long it took, but Qingshe suddenly heard bursts of laughter coming from around him.
"Friend, what are you doing?"
"Huh?" Qingshe looked up after hearing this, and then realized that he was surrounded by several people pointing in the center.
"This... what on earth is this place?" Qingshe was a little confused and said to himself.
"My friends were joking, where else could this be? Of course it is... the Vientiane Market!"
