I glanced at Yi Ba, who understood my intention and immediately took out a talisman from his green cloth pocket and slapped it on Old Ghost Ling's body.
The talisman used by Yi Ba seemed to be very effective. Anyway, after he put the talisman on it, Old Ghost Ling seemed to be suppressed and became motionless.
“Run!” Yi Ba shouted at me, then pulled me together and started running.
“How long will the talisman you just posted last for?” I asked Yi Ba.
“I don’t know.” Yi Ba turned his head worriedly, glanced back, and said, “Let’s run quickly! If we run back to Disha Village, we won’t be afraid of him anymore.”
"Why?" I asked.
“There should be something guarding Disha Village, and the person guarding the village obviously has nothing to do with Old Ghost Ling. Otherwise, the first volume of "Ghost Manual" is in Disha Village, and Old Ghost Ling Why don't you just go and grab it? "
Yi Ba's words reminded me that even though he knew that the first volume of "Ghost Manual" was in Disha Village, Old Ghost Ling didn't go to get it. Doesn't that prove that the villagers Is there anything he's afraid of?
I don’t know if it’s because we’re just too lucky, or if Yi Ba’s talisman is just too powerful. Anyway, Yi Ba and I successfully ran into Disha Village, and that guy Ling Laogui hasn't chased us yet.
"Come back so soon?" As soon as he reached the door of the house, Liu Yan came out.
"Of course." I nodded, handed the half of the face I had snatched from Old Ghost Ling to Liu Yan, and said, "I have already taken back the things you asked me to get."
“You’re quite capable!” After taking a look, Liu Yan turned half of his face Pi Di returned it to me and said, "Since you snatched it back, I will give this to you."
"Give it to me?" I looked at Liu Yan with incredible eyes and said : "According to the old ghost Ling, this half face is the second half of the Ghost Scripture. You Just give it to me?”
“I’ve passed the first half to you, why are you still hiding the second half?” Liu Yan looked at me seriously and said earnestly: "Over the past hundreds of years, many people have obtained the "Ghost Manual" and can keep it from others. There are not many, and those who succeed in learning under the premise of keeping it are even rarer. I have created opportunities for you. What you can achieve in the future depends entirely on your own luck. ”
"You mean you won't help me anymore?" I asked.
"I've given you everything I can and cannot give. Is there anything else I can do to help?" Liu Yan paused and said, "You snatched the "Ghost Manual" from Old Ghost Ling. Even if he wants to settle the account, he will settle it with you."
"What do you mean?" I looked at Liu Yan with a puzzled look.
"If you get into trouble, you have to suffer it. If you don't want to suffer it, then use your own skills to get rid of the trouble." After saying this, Liu Yan went into the house.
"Crunch..."
Just come in the house! They even closed the door and wouldn't let us go in and sit for a while.
"There are still several hours until dawn! Should we go back now, or wait until dawn?" I asked Yi Ba.
“After all, we have snatched the second volume of Ghost Spiritual Sutra from old ghost Ling. In this Disha village, he is afraid and can’t come in. It’s not yet dawn, so we just need to go out as soon as possible , he will definitely catch me. It won’t be so easy to get away at that time,” Yi Ba said.
Yi Ba and I went to find a broken house and made do with it by lying on broken boards for the night. Until dawn, nothing happened.
"The sun is pretty good today!" I said.
"The bigger the sun gets, the less ghosts dare to come out. Let's hurry up and get on with it!" Yi Ba said.
Because it was daytime and the sun was very bright, ghosts and other things naturally did not dare to come out. Yi Ba and I didn't encounter any accidents. We returned to the side of the small road smoothly and sat down in the broken bread.
In the middle of the afternoon, we returned to Guquan Old Street.
As soon as I walked into the street, I was shocked.
What's going on today? Why are all these shops on both sides of the street open, and every house is hung with white lanterns?
The only exception is that there are only two stores. One is Yiba Pavilion and the other is Sanji Pawn.
I quickly went to Sanji Pawn, where Sister Shaoyao was sitting on a chair, humming a little tune.
“What happened to Guquan Old Street?” I asked Sister Shaoyao.
“I don’t know.” Sister Shaoyao’s attitude doesn’t mean that it’s none of her business!
"You have been here all the time, how could you not know?" I asked.
"So what if you know? Can you manage it?" Sister Shaoyao sighed and said: "It's a dead street anyway, and dying more thoroughly may be a relief. At least in this way, you can It makes people no longer have any thoughts.”
"Tell me what's going on!" I glared at Sister Shaoyao with a very speechless look, and said, "An appetite-stimulating thing like yours will suffocate people to death, do you know?"
"It's already evening now. If you want to know what's going on, you'll find out when it gets dark." Sister Shaoyao still looked hopeless.
I wanted to get some information from Sister Shaoyao, but she refused to tell me anything. It was a waste of time to continue spending time in Sanji Pawn, so I had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
“Have you heard anything?” Yi Ba asked me.
"Sister Shaoyao refused to say anything. She also said that if I want to know what is going on, I will find out when it gets dark." I said.
"With the current scene in Guquan Old Street, there must be something going on after dark, and it's big." Yi Ba took the words and said, "Let's go eat something first! After we're full, Do you have the strength to deal with these troubles?”
After eating, Yi Ba and I walked around Guquan Old Street. The shops on both sides of the street were indeed open, but there were no people in each shop.
There is no one and the door is still open. The key is that there is a white lantern hanging at the door.
Strange, this thing is so strange.
"What do you think?" I didn't see any clue anyway, so I could only ask Yi Ba.
"There is no one in the store and the door is still open. Could it be that all these stores have turned into ghost shops?" Yi Bal said.
"Ghost shop?" I looked at Yi Ba with some confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"
"There are living people making money from ghosts, and naturally there are ghosts who can make money from people. Money!" Yi Ba paused and said, "The so-called ghost shops are actually run by ghosts, and the customers are living people. But generally speaking, the things sold by ghosts are not good things."
“What do they usually sell?” I asked Yi Ba.
“Good people will not go to ghosts to do business. People who go to ghosts to do business are people with bad intentions. What they buy from ghosts is naturally used to harm the world! "Yi Badao.
"Are they using ghost coins to make deals with ghosts?" I asked.
“Ghosts who open ghost shops don’t like things like ghost coins.” Yi Ba took the words and said: “Ghosts are smarter than humans and will not do business at a loss. People want If you want to get something from them, you may have to pay dozens or even hundreds of times the price."
"Will these shops be open tonight?" I asked Yi Ba.
"After midnight, any lantern that lights up proves that there is a shopkeeper in the shop." Yi Ba seems to know a lot about ghost shops!
"How about we find a shop at night and go in and have a look?" I said.
"Okay!" Yi Ba nodded and agreed.
Time passed by minute by second, and after staying up for a long time, it was finally midnight. I went out to take a look and found that none of the white lanterns hanging in front of the shops on both sides of the street were lit.
"Are these lanterns not lit? Does it mean that there are no ghosts doing business here yet?" I asked Yi Ba.
"It stands to reason that since the lanterns have been hung up, these ghost shops on the street should be open!" Yi Ba showed a look of confusion and said: "If you don't open the door after hanging up the lanterns, What kind of wish is this? "
As soon as Yi Ba finished speaking, a white lantern lit up on the dark street.
Gumanzhai, that shop is Gumanzhai! Unexpectedly, the first person to turn on the light was Gumanzhai from Tong Shou.
"Should we go over and have a look?" I asked Yi Ba. "Let's go and take a look at the door first! The ghost store is not an ordinary store. We can't go in hastily. We have to act according to the situation." Before setting off, Yi Ba warned me.
