Cao Zhe first paid the money to enter the city.
Then he took out two balls of Yin Qi, put them in his hands, and said to the two Fang Xiangshi: "We want to buy something that can be of some pure benefit to the Yin soul. I wonder if the two gods can introduce it?"
Fang Xiangshi belongs to the Yin God, but he is not a very outstanding Yin God and does not have a fixed job.
Usually, they help guard the tombs of princes and princes, and follow the shady houses of wealthy families to beg for some incense and eat some yin energy.
Occasionally, I also do odd jobs, answering the calls of some Taoists, or looking after the gates of respectable ghost kings and demon kings.
The two balls of Yin Qi that Cao Zhe took out were of good quality. The two Fang Xiangshi looked like bear faces, and their masked ghost faces immediately showed greedy looks.
Then one of them quickly pointed to the high tower in the city and said: "Then go to the mountain tower! There is everything there, as long as you have money... you can buy anything. Treasures from all over the world, strange objects from the ends of the earth, dragons Women, asuras, rakshasas, even goddesses, and sliced flat peach pulp have all appeared there and been sold."
"Just seven days ago, we just sold a spirit ghost. I heard it looks very good! The buyer hasn't left the city yet. He may want to resell it for a higher price."
"If Taoist Master likes ghosts, you can go and have a look. It's in the Haunted Garden on the seventh floor."
Apparently Fang Xiangshi saw Cao Zhe carrying three ghosts in his sleeves and recognized him as a Taoist priest who liked to drive away and raise ghosts.
Cao Zhe did not defend himself, and after handing two balls of Yin Qi to the two Fang Xiangshi, he entered the city with his sleeves rolled up.
His eyes locked on the tall tower in the middle, and suddenly a strong wind blew on the street.
Dust filled the air and clouds obscured everything, and all the scenery seemed to become blurry in an instant.
Soon after, when the vision was clear again, the surrounding buildings seemed to have vanished into nothing, leaving only a tall tower, which became more and more tall and mysterious.
"Ah! How come they all disappeared?"
"I just saw a ghost with three heads, riding an eight-legged horse, rushing past..." Gouzi shouted.
In Cao Zhe's sight, nothing changed. He just smiled and then said: "It seems that only this mountain tower is the property that the owner here cares about most. The neighbors on the periphery can be regarded as other places. Those who have the background, follow the trend here and open a shop to take advantage of the popularity. Since we have locked in this Shanta, naturally the other shops will be covered up by the magic of the owner here."
To be honest, this approach seems a bit petty.
But there is nothing wrong with it. Although there are all kinds of gods, monsters and ghosts in the Liaozhai world, the overall market consumption is only so much.
When it is impossible to become bigger and stronger, everyone wants to run a separate business. Being a capital oligarch can better raise prices and earn more.
To put it bluntly, stop pretending! Showdown!
The tower has a total of forty-eight floors. Each floor has five doors. Each row is lit with five lights, divided into five colors: red, orange, green, purple and white, to take care of guests from the five directions, corresponding to humans, demons, ghosts, gods, Five categories of immortals.
The tall buildings tower into the sky. Counting from low to high, the lights become dimmer as you go higher. It seems that you are in a hidden position and are not directly exposed to the sky.
There are corridors, pavilions and even a Hongqiao protruding outside the building. There are all kinds of pedestrians coming and going, making it extremely lively.
Cao Zhe took the three ghosts and stepped directly into the tower.
The first floor of the entrance is a spacious and magnificent lobby.
Many women from various ethnic groups, dressed in gentle clothes, were waiting at the door to guide the guests.
A catfish spirit wearing a large satin robe walked past Cao Zhe in a slimy manner. He glanced sideways at Cao Zhe, as if he had thought of something, but then he looked confused for a while and turned around to hug two little carp spirits. Sister, I walked up to the fifth floor leisurely.
Thick white smoke billowed out from the fifth floor, exuding a sulfur-smelling heat. It seemed to be a place familiar to many Cadillac owners.
Inexplicably, Cao Zhe also felt a little itchy on his back, and suddenly missed No. 18, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
I don’t know if she is doing well after entering the Ten Thousand Realms Arena.
With a flick of his sleeves, three ghosts emerged from them, eyes wide open, looking at everything around them.
The inside of the tower is hollow.
From the first floor of the lobby at the bottom, it seems that you can see the top of the tower at a glance.
The area around the tower is the main place for various businesses.
The first floor is a hypermarket, but looking at the various signs, it seems that all the items sold are valuables.
For example, jewelry-like instruments made of rare fine gold, or precious robes produced by famous artists, various treasure bags with various uses, etc.
For any piece, the starting price is tens of thousands of dollars.
I can't afford it easily.
The second level is more affordable.
The third floor is like the second floor.
Some restaurants, hotels, and some specialty service shops began to appear on the fourth floor.
The fifth floor is the bathing center, needless to say.
Going up to the sixth floor, it becomes even more chaotic, with everything from business to business.
Of course, the main business is planned.
The sixth to sixteenth floors, a total of ten floors, are mainly engaged in the ghost industry, the seventeenth to twenty-seventh floors are monsters, and the twenty-eighth to thirty-eighth floors are mainly engaged in some rare objects that everyone will like.
As for the last few floors, it seems that they are not independently open to the outside world.
Cao Zhe led Gouzi and the yordle, who were always staring at the fifth floor, as well as the expressionless Brother Miao, directly to the seventh floor.
Then we wandered around the Haunted Garden.
I have to say that the situation in the Haunted Garden was somewhat beyond Cao Zhe's expectations.
He originally expected to see scenes of people selling human hearts, livers, blood, internal organs, and even babies and children.
After all, many evil spirits just like this.
But no!
At least at a glance, the market environment is very clean.
The most extreme ones are just some human bones that are contaminated with strong Yin energy or spirituality. Although it is a bit weird, it has not stepped on Cao Zhe's bottom line.
"It's a pity!" Cao Zhe whispered.
"What's the pity?" Gouzi stared at his boss with big blank eyes.
Cao Zhe smiled and said: "Nothing!"
"Let's go shopping separately! You all should also look for something that suits you and makes you feel special." He said and handed out three talismans.
"Take it all, don't lose it. With it, I can always sense you. If there is danger, I can save you at any time. Remember... you are my ghost, don't embarrass me! If you encounter it, I can save you at any time." Don't be timid!" Cao Zhe warned.
The three ghosts took the talisman, but did not disperse, but looked at Cao Zhe eagerly.
Only then did Cao Zhe suddenly realize: "That's right! I'll give you some pocket money, but remember... don't go to some improper places, and you must be upright when you are a ghost!"
The three ghosts each received one hundred yang coins and then went.
After the three ghosts left, Cao Zhe returned to the fifth floor.
He said to the waitress with long red hair and a killer figure standing at the door: "Is there a female technician who is more experienced in bathing and massaging?"
The red-haired female Rakshasa immediately nodded and said: "Yes! Yes! We have spider spirits, crab spirits, and centipede spirits to choose from. They all have more than ten years of experience in the industry. If you like softer techniques, , we also have snake demons, eel demons, and earthworm demons. If you don’t like demons, there are also some ghost technicians who are proficient in transformation and clone spells."
"Other part-time goddesses need to make an appointment in advance and arrange a special time. The price is also higher. The starting price is 10,000 yang, and you need to pay 50,000 yang as a deposit first, but it will be refunded later!"
