That day, when Elder Haoran came out of Jiuli Palace, he did not go back to Haoran Mansion, but went to another place in Jiuli, Yancheng.
Yancheng is hundreds of kilometers away from Jiuli City. The city here is obviously much smaller than Jiuli City, but the layout of the city is almost the same as Jiuli City, and the folk customs are also the same.
Although Yancheng is not big, it is full of people and bustling. Elder Haoran rode his horse to Yancheng and wandered around Yancheng for a long time. He looked around as if he was looking for something.
Next to an alley in the busy city, Elder Haoran stopped at a stall selling antiques and groceries. The stall owner was an ordinary man with simple clothes and a gray face.
The stall owner saw the black shadow passing by him. He lowered his head and sorted out the goods on the beach, and said indifferently: "Boss, do you want to buy something?"
Elder Haoran said: "I want to buy a road from you."
Upon hearing this, the stall owner stopped what he was doing, his expression remained unchanged, and he still did not raise his head, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.
"What did you say? I don't understand at all."
"You, please don't pretend to be confused because you understand. Well, let me explain one more thing. I want to buy you a road to hell in the same underworld."
When the stall owner heard this, his eyebrows immediately jumped and he said: "So you are going to the underworld, so I will take you there."
The stall owner raised his head, and as soon as he saw Elder Haoran's malicious smile, his face immediately darkened, as if he had seen a ghost. He was startled, and then ran in without caring about the things on his stall. into the alley behind him.
Elder Haoran looked at the stall owner who was running away in fear, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing an expression of contempt for the stall owner's overestimation of his capabilities, and shook his head.
Seeing the stall owner disappearing around the corner, Elder Haoran immediately flew up and came to the three-way intersection in the alley, where he stood and waited for the panicked stall owner to surrender.
The stall owner kept looking back while running, and found that Elder Haoran had not caught up. He slowed down and said angrily: "It seems that I have completely gotten rid of him. I didn't expect that he is such a difficult person." Lord, luckily there is this maze of alleys, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get rid of him so easily.”
"Lu Ming, are you sure you have gotten rid of me?" A voice came from in front of Lu Ming.
Lu Ming raised his head and looked forward. He didn't know when Elder Haoran had been leaning on the corner of the intersection in front of him.
Seeing Elder Haoran, Lu Ming showed a look of helplessness. He immediately turned his head and started running desperately in the other direction.
But no matter how hard Lu Ming ran forward, Elder Haoran was always ahead and easily blocked his way.
Finally, Lu Ming, who was panting from exhaustion and almost exhausted, helplessly stopped in front of Elder Haoran.
Elder Haoran smiled and said: "You clearly know that there is no use in doing this. You can't escape from my grasp. But you
Or do you want to do such a wasteful and meaningless thing? Why are you doing this? "
"What do you want, why do you always follow me ghostly? In order to avoid you, I have left Jiuli City, but I didn't expect you to chase me to Yancheng again. Do you want to live?" "
"Of course I want you to live. At the same time, I also want everyone in the Jiuli clan to live. I think you should know why I came to you. I don't need to say more. Otherwise, you wouldn’t leave Jiuli City secretly.”
"It's not impossible for me to take you to the Yin Feng Ghost Market, but you have to tell me first, how did you find me?"
Elder Haoran smiled and said: "I didn't expect that your curiosity is still very strong. Well, I will satisfy your curiosity. After I come back from the Yin Feng Ghost Market, I predict that I will need you again in the future. You want to help, so I will send people to monitor and follow you."
"So your every move is under my nose?"
Elder Haoran said very proudly: "Yes, including when you left Jiuli City and came to Yancheng, what were you doing when you came to Yancheng? And everything."
"It seems that you have worked hard to find me today. I have another question. This alley is so complicated. How do you know my escape route every time and wait in front of me accurately to block my way? ?”
"It seems that this is why you can only be a guide. You have a simple mind and well-developed limbs."
Lu Ming said with some annoyance: "If you are teasing me like this, I will no longer be your leader. I have never led you to bully others like this."
"Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you anymore. Before I came into contact with you, I saw you setting up a deceptive stall next to this alley with well-developed passages. I knew what your intentions were. So before I came into contact with you, I I have carefully understood this and the layout of the alley, so every time I see your escape direction, I know the path you must take, and I will wait for you to fall into the trap in advance, do you understand?"
"Hey! I didn't expect that I fell into your hands like this. It seems that I was not unjust at all. It's just because the enemy is too cunning. Are you sure you want to go to the Yin Feng Ghost Market?"
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I bother you so much? I am just full. What's more, for the sake of the entire Jiuli clan, I have to go through this."
"The answer to the question you want this time costs a lot. Have you brought enough coins? You know that in the Ghost Market, nothing can be done without money."
Elder Haoran patted the money bag on his waist and said confidently: "Don't worry, it's just money. As long as I get the answer I want, I only need enough money."
Lu Ming looked at the small money bag hanging on Elder Haoran's waist and said in disbelief: "How many shell coins can your small money bag hold? Don't be kidding, you know the evil spirit According to the city's rules, if you don't bring enough money, and I take you into the ghost market, I will lose my position as a passerby, and maybe my life will be in danger, but I don't want to live a long life. Well, please don’t harm me.”
"Hmph, I think you are looking down on others. You only know about coin shells. Don't you know that there are things more valuable than coin shells in this world? Don't look at this inconspicuous thing on my waist. He It’s worth thousands of coins.”
"Blow, you go ahead. You don't need to pay taxes when you brag. Just this little thing around your waist can be worth tens of thousands of coins. You think I'm a three-year-old baby. Don't worry about it." Sprinkle Sichuan peppercorns in the dam - Ma Gui."
Listening to Lu Ming's words, Elder Haoran said unconvinced: "It seems that if I don't let you open your eyes today, you won't take me to the Yin Feng Ghost Market, and you treat me like a person who only talks a lot. Train runner.”
Elder Haoran took his money bag from his waist, opened it, handed it to Lu Ming's eyes, and said, "See, can this little thing be worth thousands of coins?"
Lu Ming looked through the opening of the money bag handed over by Elder Haoran and saw the shining golden pearl inside. He was surprised and said: "My dear, this is a thousand-year-old gold powder pearl. This kind of pearl is extremely rare and only lasts for thousands of years." Only gold-pink oysters can produce such excellent gold-pink pearls, and a golden-pink oyster can only produce one in its lifetime. Therefore, there is a proverb in the world that "golden pearls come out, pink shells die". Elder, you have this little thing. More than tens of millions of coins, it is simply priceless."
Elder Haoran took back the money bag, hung it back on his waist, and said: "Okay, now you can safely take me to the Yin Feng Ghost Market."
Lu Ming said flatteringly: "As long as you have money, it's no problem to go to Yinfeng Ghost Market." Lu Ming stared at the money bag on Elder Haoran's waist, his eyes flashed with golden light, and he said meaningfully: "It's just... "
Elder Haoran saw Lu Ming's thoughts from his eyes that shone with the desire for money. Elder Haoran cursed in his heart: "This guy who is unscrupulous for profit, I think this guy is the same as his predecessor." Born on the same day.”
Elder Haoran said: "As long as I get the answer I want in Yin Feng Ghost Market, your share of the contents in this bag will be indispensable."
After hearing this, Lu Ming's eyebrows were beaming and he said happily: "Okay, elder, just wait for me here for a while, and I will prepare a carriage for you and provide you with the best service."
"I think you only serve money."
Lu Ming grinned, remained silent, and left to prepare the frame.
