"How's it going, kid? Are you satisfied with the meeting gift that your uncle gave you?"
While Uncle Sun was speaking, he swooped up to me, smiled and patted my shoulder.
"Thank you, Uncle Sun! This is such a generous gift for the first time we meet. My nephew is really grateful."
I sincerely thank you.
really!
Not to mention the "Crazy Ape Stick Technique" and the 500-year-old wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain. Those thirty talismans alone are worth 1.4 million yuan!
At this time, it was definitely a huge sum of money - you must know that when the real estate tycoon Wang Wenguang asked Ni Yang to take the lead in investigating the disappearance of Daling Village, the total price given was only one million.
Of course, my realm and vision at that time were not comparable to those now.
What's more, Ni Yang probably didn't expect that there was such a terrible conspiracy hidden behind the investigation of the disappearance of a village! It actually has something to do with the evil cultivator with unimaginable cultivation gathering a group of subordinates to plot against the River God.
Otherwise, no matter how much money he has, a little shrimp like Ni Yang would not dare to get involved.
Uncle Sun scratched his head and put his arm around my shoulders.
"You don't have to be polite to me. But when you see your master's fierce woman again in the future, remember to speak more kindly to my uncle. This woman has a bad temper, and you are her disciple, so you should know it very well."
Well……
In fact, I wanted to retort and say that I think Master is the woman with the best temper in the world, but after thinking about it, I let it go. If I talk too much and Uncle Sun sees my little thoughts, don't cause trouble.
After all, we just met him, and I don’t know his attitude towards certain things, so it’s better to be cautious.
So I smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, Uncle Sun. I'll do it next time! By the way, Uncle Sun, can I know your full name?"
"My name is Sun Wukong."
What? !
Sun Wukong?
I was immediately confused.
Uncle Sun laughed loudly and hoarsely.
"Hahaha! Why are you so surprised, kid? Nothing is nothingness, Sun Wukong."
"Where is your uncle? He didn't have a name when he was a child. But a long time ago, your master gave me a copy of the original novel "Journey to the West". After reading it, I admired the Monkey King Monkey King in the book very much. So. That’s why I took the name.”
"Later I got TV and watched the TV series "Journey to the West", and I thought the Monkey King was even cooler. My name is so good, so wonderful! Hahahaha."
As he spoke, he put his hands on his hips and laughed proudly.
I see!
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
It turns out that he named himself Sun Wukong because he admired Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West"... I have to say, this Uncle Sun is also a very interesting person.
"Okay, boy, time is not short. You go back first. I finally agreed to the old man in charge of this ghost market, and I have to help him work here. Although I can sell the talisman paper if I want to, or if I don't want to. But I don’t want to slack off too much. There are still ten years left, and I will be free in ten years.”
I was surprised - the "old man in charge of the ghost market" he mentioned should be the [Children] that Xiao Yuan used, right?
The actual controller of this Eling Ghost Market!
"Boy, please remember to come here to see me more often and chat with me when you have time. It's really annoying to be trapped in this damn place. The most you can do is play with those two stupid cats..."
After some grumbling he added.
"By the way, kid, the two lucky cats at the door are also acquainted with your master. However, they are not as familiar as me, and their relationship is not as good as mine. If you want to make friends with them, you can take the initiative to go over and reveal your identity."
I thought about it and shook my head.
"That's not necessary. Although my nephew is of low strength, if he is not so familiar with me, this kind of active clinging would seem a bit inappropriate."
He immediately gave me a thumbs up.
"Not bad, good, ambitious! Hee hee, hahaha."
"Uncle Sun, I'll leave first."
"Oh, that's right, wait!"
Uh...I stopped again.
"As for you being your master's disciple, try to be as low-key as possible. After all, her temper and character have many enemies in the practice world. Although there are probably none at the level you are currently in contact with. But if we meet If you go to a lot of people with high cultivation level, you will easily get into trouble."
I nodded.
"Thank you, Uncle Sun, for reminding me. My nephew knows about this. Even if Master gives me these two magic weapons, I would never take them out unless it was a critical moment in a fight or when I encounter a strong enemy."
"Okay, okay, you can really leave now!"
Sun Wukong waved to me.
There was a gentle force pushing me gently and taking me out of the door of this paper shop.
The talisman at the door glanced at me.
"Out?"
"Um."
"Then I'll start calling again..."
He held the small piece of paper in his hand with his fingers as thick as carrots. A bit rough and cute in contrast.
When I passed the crowd and walked toward Niu Bi, Niu Deheng, and Xiao Yuan in the distance, I also heard some whispers and discussions.
"What's going on? Why did this kid buy a talisman and stay there for almost an hour?"
"Who knows! Could it be a related household?"
"Damn! Does a formal place like the ghost market also have related households?"
"Haha, only formal places have connections."
"Master Sun actually blatantly gives people special privileges."
"Shut up! Are you desperate for your life? How dare you talk about Master Sun. You don't know that a few years ago, someone pissed him off and he was beaten in public. Even the security patrol of the ghost city couldn't do anything about it."
"What? Didn't it say that private fights are not allowed in the ghost market, and all disputes between guests are prohibited?"
"Yes! Guests coming to the ghost market are prohibited from having private fights and disputes. But they are regular staff of the ghost market. There is nothing wrong with them."
"This...I am speechless."
"But I heard that in the end Master Sun was fined half a year's salary by his superiors, which is an explanation. But anyway, he has a bad temper and goes his own way."
Listening to these practitioners who were buying talismans talking and pointing fingers at each other, I couldn’t even laugh or cry.
I can only speed up my pace and get out of here quickly.
After the three meet up.
It could be seen that the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Niubi wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Brother Wu, did you come out safely? We and Brother Yuan were so anxious just now. Brother Yuan also said that if you don't come out, he will go in regardless!"
I looked at the chubby Madoka with a smile and grabbed it from mid-air into my arms.
"Yo? You idiot, you still care about me. Thank you."
"Let me go! Mr. Wu, you bastard. I don't care about you at all. I just said it casually. Daniuzi and Erniuzi, they took it seriously. Hehehehe."
Madoka, this guy, talks back.
My heart felt warm, but I didn’t stop squeezing its fat belly with my hands!
At the same time, I also think that the two brothers Niu Bi and Niu Deheng can get along - they don't seem to be pretending to be worried.
I let go of Madoka and let her stand on my shoulder, then said with a smile.
"Let's go to the free trade zone and see if we can find any good treasures. As for what happened in the talisman shop just now, let's talk about it while walking..."
So, we walked from the [Shop Area] here to the [Free Trading Area] where stalls are set up for free.
Along the way, the three of them were amazed as they listened to my story!
Niu Bi sighed repeatedly.
"Brother Wu, you said that you are not a disciple of a famous sect, so I reluctantly believe you. But your master's status is probably much higher than that of those high-ranking people from famous and decent sects!"
Niu Deheng also nodded vigorously.
"Yes, yes! Although we brothers have not been in contact with any real big shots, we have also heard a lot of rumors and gossip in the world. I heard that some elders from the sect came to the Eling Ghost Market before. After the store area, no one has your style, Mr. Wu."
As the two brothers sang together, they were both surprised and asked me who my master was.
I spread my hands and replied.
"To be honest, even I don't know who my master is! Including some things about her, I only found out about her gradually from others."
Seeing the two brothers hesitating to speak and looking slightly disgusted, I reluctantly added.
"Anyway, whether you believe it or not, what I said is indeed the truth."
"We believe, we believe!"
The fat Taoist priest and the fat ghost insisted that they believed it with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Madoka muttered softly.
"That woman is terrifying and powerful. She is obviously an extraordinary person. Lu Ziguang is normal, too."
Of the talisman papers Sun Wukong gave me, I gave 10 of the 20 low-grade human-level talisman papers—the most common ordinary talisman papers—to Niu Bi.
He refused at first and declined for a while.
It was only after my repeated request that I accepted it with thanks.
"Old Niu, you know that talisman paper is not of much use to me - especially this kind of basic talisman paper. The only advantage is that it will not get wet with water. I have kept a dozen of them myself, which is enough. You If you really want to thank me, then work hard to develop business in the future. While it allows me to make a little more money, it is also a kind of spiritual practice. Haha!"
…
Soon, we arrived at the free trade area.
This is the busiest place in the entire Eling Ghost Market!
Naturally, there are also the most people.
There are also many strange monsters, ghosts and so on. Coming and going, chirping.
I even saw a bunch of rat spirits!
Seven or eight of them gathered together, and they were all bigger than cats, each weighing at least twenty or thirty pounds. The fur is shiny and shiny, and the nutrition is good. It also walks upright on its hind legs like a human.
There are quite a few weird ones too.
But what’s even weirder is... when I focused my energy on my eyes, I even saw a faint halo in them!
If you guessed it right, does it feel like the breath of Buddhism?
A group of rat spirits actually have Buddhist auras on their bodies!
It's amazing.
Niu Bi smiled and explained that these rat spirits are all good monsters. In the supernatural world of Chongqing, he is quite famous.
It is said that decades ago, there was a nest of ordinary rats living in a Buddhist temple on the outskirts of the city. They often secretly drank lamp oil from the incense table placed in front of the golden Buddha statue. Unexpectedly, they all opened up their spiritual wisdom and became monsters one after another.
In turn, he protected the temple for many years.
Later, when the relevant departments planned the construction of new areas, they demolished the temple.
This group of rat spirits had no place to live, so they took up a place in the western suburbs. They were called the "Nine Dragon Rat Gang", which was also an interesting thing in the circle.
