Chapter 204 Taoli Village
The grocery store was very quiet, except for the footsteps of Lin Qian and Coco, there were no other sounds.
At this moment, Lin Qian was wearing a black windbreaker and a pair of blood-stained gold glasses. With Lin Qian’s face, at first glance, he felt that he was a gentle man. people.
Lin Qian put a piece of yellow paper back on a gold box and was very silent. The ghosts in this ghost shop were each weirder than the last:
"Confusion"
"The law of murder: the soul is lost upon seeing it."
"The scope of the ghost domain: one city."
"The degree of horror: twenty-five (out of thirty-five)."
< br>"Price: one hundred yuan (no bargaining)."
This is what was written on the yellow paper just now. This thing is another S-class ghost.
Lin Qian glanced at the gold boxes on the shelf. There were seventeen in total, which also meant that there were seventeen ghosts sealed in them. If the level of terror was the same as what he had seen before...
Then , how scary the owner of this ghost shop must be.
Furthermore, Lin Qian also discovered a rather strange situation, that is, the names of these ghosts seemed to be very retro, and did not look like they were named only during the Republic of China.
And the characters on the yellow paper are also written in small seal script. Although some people like to use small seal script in the Republic of China, people in that era generally started to develop towards simplified characters...
So Lin Qian suspected that this ghost shop might not be left over from the Republic of China, but existed before the Republic of China.
The basis for this guess is very good. In his mind, the ghost controllers during the Republic of China could not reach the level of a grocery store. Of course, there are people who can do it, such as Mr. Qin and several other old people.
But those who survived during the Republic of China, except for one or two people who were active in the private sector, basically stayed in their own one-third of an acre of land and did not participate in anything, let alone go. What kind of S-level ghost was caught? If it weren't like this, the supernatural events wouldn't happen so frequently now.
Looking at this grocery store, the S-class ghosts will sell whatever they want, with the attitude that as long as you have money, you can buy anything, and don't care about the consequences of selling these ghosts.
"What a scary place..."
Lin Qian muttered to himself. Although he couldn't guess that this grocery store came from that era, he knew clearly. This is not a place where he can run wild, even though the middle-aged man gives off an ordinary feeling.
But if he really wanted to take action, he was put into a box in minutes, and then a label was written on it. The price should not exceed three hundred yuan at most...
Thinking of this, Lin Qian silently lowered his head and looked at the There is a pen on the grid, with a red tip and a thin and short barrel made of mahogany. The pen body is engraved with a ghost's eyebrow drawing. It is exquisite yet majestic, weird yet terrifying.
Picked up the yellow paper placed next to it, and after seeing the content on it clearly, Lin Qian's pupils shrank slightly:
"Ghost drawing eyebrows"
"The law of murder: The living person draws his eyebrows, and the day draws his eyebrows. ”
"Scary level: twenty (out of thirty-five)."
"Price: twenty yuan (no bargaining)."
"Advice: This is one of the puzzle pieces of the marriage puzzle. If Yes, but you cannot paint eyebrows for a bride. This is What is done only by the one who marries you, others will die if you do it.”
“Advice: If you are going to marry someone with an eyebrow pencil, you need to be careful.”
“This is not the right marriage. A strange bride?”
Lin Qian looked at the yellow paper in his hand, then turned to look at the empty shelf on the left. The thirty-five small seal characters written on it were obvious.
"If you are marrying a treacherous bride, then you will be hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, without a knife, etc..."
Lin Qian's pupils narrowed slightly, and he felt this conjecture Somewhat creepy.
Looking down at the eyebrow pencil placed on the grid, Lin Qian was sure that this thing was one of the puzzle pieces of the Cunning Bride, without guessing, because he had seen this thing before, and when he connected the umbrella rib and When the umbrella handle is put together and opened.
In that illusory room, he saw this pen, which was exactly the same.
As soon as he picked up the eyebrow pencil, a coldness surrounded him instantly, but it was suppressed in an instant:
“This thing is so vicious, and as expected, anything that can be used as a bridal puzzle is not something to be trifled with. "
Turning the eyebrow pencil in his hand, Lin Qian was a little strange. He looked at the content on the yellow paper. It didn't seem to say anything about this pen. What is the function of the eyebrow tattoo ghost? It just talks about the rules of killing:
"Boss, what is the function of this eyebrow tattoo ghost? Can you tell me?"
Lin Qian asked the boss directly , don’t look embarrassed at all, just ask if you don’t understand, and have the spirit of not being ashamed to ask. This is what primary school teachers often talk about.
Hearing Lin Qian's voice, the boss said without raising his head:
"Draw eyebrows on a living person, a woman will draw her eyebrows to marry a ghost, a man will marry a ghost, and a dead person will draw his eyebrows. Eyebrows are used to marry, regardless of gender or species."
At this point, the middle-aged man paused, as if he thought of something before continuing:
"But, you use it. This would not happen if you were married. You are the king of marriage, and there is nothing wrong with using the things you marry. The person or ghost whose eyebrows are tattooed will become your maid or servant until the eyebrows disappear."
"However, I don't suggest you do this. Marrying is very fierce. Even if she is broken up and only part of the puzzle has just been completed, she is still very fierce."
"Of course, this is just a suggestion. If you insist on doing so, I won't say anything. Just pretend that I have never said this."
After saying that, Lin Qian ignored him and continued to read. The thin book on the counter.
"Oh~ Is that so? It's interesting."
Lin Qian lowered his head to examine the eyebrow pencil in his hand. He was not surprised by what the middle-aged man said. Before he saw it, After hearing the information about those evil spirits, Lin Qian felt that she had grown up.
“The prince who marries the bride is a sly bride, ha, just as I thought.”
From this middle-aged man’s words, Lin Qian learned a lot and verified many conjectures:
“If you marry a strange bride, then the wish is probably a wish ghost, and the hunger is probably a starving ghost. If this guess is correct, it should be a foreign cannibal."
If you think about it, the difference is a ghost. As for Wu and Ren, and others, Lin Qianyi will not be able to figure it out for a while.
Playing with the eyebrow pencil in his hand, Lin Qian's eyes flashed. He had to buy this thing. He could not leave the bride's puzzle to the bride. Only in this way would he have a chance to survive in the future, especially after Zhang Xianguang After completing the bride's two-piece puzzle.
He feels that he can't fuck the bride again. Before, he thought that if he met the bride, he could run away even if he couldn't beat her. But now, running away is a problem...
< br>
"It's all Zhang Xianguang's fault for not being a son of a man!"
Now that he has decided to buy it, there is no need to put this thing back. He throws it into his pocket and Lin Qian's eyes turn to the next grid.
There is a gold box placed there. As usual, pick up the yellow paper and start reading the contents.
The grocery store was very quiet, and the smell of decaying wood was looming. The smell was very light, and you couldn't smell it if you didn't smell it carefully. The hot tea on the coffee table was still steaming, and the occasional footsteps seemed particularly abrupt.
Keke was eating oden, looking around with his eyes, curiosity on his face.
The middle-aged man was still slowly flipping through the books on the counter, not paying any attention to the situation in the grocery store.
"Ghost blows out the lamp"
"The law of killing: if the lamp goes out, you will die, if there is no lamp, you will die if the lamp is blown out."
"The scope of the ghost domain: ten miles."
"Terror level: twenty (out of thirty-five)."
"Price: Fifteen yuan (no bargaining)."
"Advice: This ghost grows by killing people, and the rules will change with the number of kills. If you intend to buy, please make sure you have the strength to suppress this ghost. Li Gui. "
"Advice: This ghost is the last piece of Wu's puzzle, and it is also Wu's opportunity to escape. If you buy this ghost, please seal it up immediately when you encounter Wu. Don’t let this ghost get you and get out of trouble.”
“You need to remember!”
Lin Qian put the yellow paper back calmly. This was the last grid. Now, he has looked through all the thirty-five grids. The evil ghosts he has seen are as outrageous as they are. Basically, they are all existences that casually destroy the country or even the world...
After reading too much, Lin Qian became numb. After putting the yellow paper away, he looked back at the previous grid and thought about it. According to the money he had, he could only buy a pair of glasses and an eyebrow pencil. Pens, a twenty-yuan and a fifty-yuan ghost, if you have too many, they will be gone.
He got the money from the backstage of the Ghost Theater, and the old man from the tailor shop gave some money, so he had a huge sum of one hundred and ten yuan.
He is interested in a lot of things here, but unfortunately they are too expensive and cannot afford them. The cheap things are of no use to him, so he feels a little uncomfortable. He wants them but has no money, so he wants to grab them. Can't beat...
Lin Qian wore ghost glasses, lowered his head and pondered. After thinking about it for a while, he seemed to have made a decision and walked towards the counter.
When he came to the counter, Lin Qian took two gold boxes at random, which were the boxes that held the beating ghost and the breathing ghost. He thought he would buy these two ghosts first, and then he would have money later. Coming to buy other things.
Arriving at the counter, Lin Qian placed two gold boxes, a pair of glasses, and an eyebrow pencil on the counter:
“Boss, check out.”
“Oh, pick your pick. Finished?" The middle-aged man raised his head slightly and looked at the objects on the table in surprise:
"Is that all?"
"Well, that's all." Lin Qian was very calm. replied.
Seeing Lin Qian's confirmation, the middle-aged man nodded:
"Well, a total of one hundred and eleven ghost money."
The middle-aged man knew the price at a glance, Lin Without saying anything, Qian took out twenty-two pieces of colorful ghost money from his pocket and placed it on the counter.
The middle-aged people counted, there were eleven seven-yuan notes and eleven three-yuan notes in total. They nodded, and kept the money without any trouble in their eyes:
"The money and goods are cleared, these It’s yours.”
"By the way, I forgot to tell you. I have a rule. I usually give a piece of advice to people who buy things from me, and this time is no exception. Although it has no effect on you, the rules are the rules."
The middle-aged man stared at Lin Qian, his eyes were calm, even numb.
“I can sell these things, and you can buy them, but you have to remember that as long as the things you buy come out of this door, they will not be returned.”
“ After you buy these things from me, you can't have much impact on ordinary people outside. Once they appear, If there is a large area of death or weirdness, I will personally take back these things, and I will turn you into a commodity."
"This is my reminder, if you accidentally kill a city-destroying one. The ghost is released, and you still can’t solve it, you know the consequences.”
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Qian expressionlessly and did not continue speaking. It was obvious that he had finished speaking.
Hearing the middle-aged man's warning, Lin Qian squinted his eyes, a red light flashed in his pupils, was silent for a while, nodded, and said:
" Save it."
Put the ghost glasses back on, pick up the other three things, put them into the painting, and turn around. He left without any intention of staying too long. This place was too dangerous. The longer he stayed here, the more he felt that the boss would put him in a box and sell him together...
The middle-aged man watched as he left. Lin Qian's eyes flickered slightly, as if he remembered something, and he said:
"The ghost shop collects plums for three yuan per catty and ten catties."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lin Qian stopped and thought for a while, then he understood that the middle-aged man What was he talking about? After thinking for a while, Lin Qian replied:
"No need."
After saying that, he pushed open the door of the grocery store and left. Coco was jumping up and down like this. He followed with a heartless look on his face.
Seeing Lin Qian leave, the middle-aged man shook his head slightly:
"This boy is a little weak. Just like that, how did he become the prince of marriage..."
Looking down at the thin book on the counter, the middle-aged man looked thoughtful in his eyes:
br>
“People who control food die too quickly. There is no one who can really control food. It seems that I have to go and take a look when I have time. If it can be collected, "Hungry has been controlled, but it is still too weak. Look, this person named Wei Jing is a little difficult to control, but there is still hope." ..."
The book at this time was filled with dense small seal characters, some illusory and some solid, erratic.
Wish: Zhao Xiaoya (unreal)
Hungry: Lin Qian
Food: James Cohen (unreal) (imminent death)
Poor: Wei Jing (unreal)
Painting: Lin Qian (semi-solid)
Marry: Lin Qian (illusion)
Eye: Yang Jian (semi-consolidated)
White: Xie Qi
Food: Zhang Lei (illusion)
Squatting: Fang Shiming (Unreal)
Replacement: Ye Zhen
Dream: Yang Xiao (unknown)
Memory: Shen Lin
Jiang: Fang Qiu (unreal) (will die within three years)
"It's really an interesting era, much more fun than my time."
The middle-aged man had a smile on his face and closed the book, revealing the cover. The word "Ghost Book" was crookedly written on it in small seals. An extremely biting coldness emerged from the book.
Regarding this sudden change, the middle-aged man's eyes were very calm and he put the book away casually.
After putting away the book, the middle-aged man took out two gold boxes and a blood-red comb from the counter, went to the shelf on the right, and put these three things on them.
"Boy Lin, please surpass those little guys during the Republic of China as soon as possible. They are too boring. They only know how to shrink into their own one-third of an acre of land and don't even look for passages. They are not as courageous as Mr. Zhang. ."
"He found at least one place and tried to deal with it..."
The middle-aged man sighed, with some disappointment on his face, shook his head and walked towards the back room.
But on the street, Lin Qian looked up at the falling snow in the sky, his eyes dark and unclear:
"Did it exist before the Republic of China? It was a bit ridiculously strong. From the looks of it, it was not It’s like following the method of controlling ghosts during the Republic of China, otherwise I wouldn’t be alive today.”
“I can’t survive until now. There are not many leftovers from the Republic of China period. The gatekeeper of the cemetery may be dead, and the one at the Caesar Hotel is already dead.”
“The old man in the ancient house is still alive, but he will soon, that old woman. Also, the old man in the traditional Chinese medicine shop is dying, and the old man in the tailor shop will have to live for two to three years.”
Compared with grocery store owners, the life of the elderly in the Republic of China is a bit short. This is the disadvantage of completing the puzzle. No matter how strong you are, you will die of old age. This is the result of the old man in the Ghost Theater Troupe, even if he can perform time. Restart...
Lin Qian walked against the snow, in her mind I was a little confused. I turned around and looked at the grocery store. Without saying anything, I turned around and moved on. There are a lot of secrets in this world. There are still too few descriptions in the original work. What was the era before the Republic of China was like? It was not written at all. , or the update of the original work was slow, and it was not finished by the time he traveled through time.
If it is over, he will not know everything. Buddha is also true. In three years, three whole years, he wrote thousands of chapters. It is simply...
If there is If there is a warning, Buddha may be the first to be attacked.
He has many doubts and questions now. Why did the source of the evil ghosts only trace back to the Republic of China and then disappear? Was it deliberately covered up?
What is the source of evil ghosts and why ghosts are immortal? These questions have been with him since he came to this world. No one can help him solve his doubts.
“It’s such an interesting world. If it weren’t for the treacherous bride, I would really be able to explore it. After all, I can’t die now...”
Lin Qianyao He shook his head and was not thinking about these things. These things were not something he could know now and would be discussed later.
I looked up at the sky. It was dusk. It was time to deliver the letter. Go and see Taoli Village early. Hehe, three yuan a pound of plums sounds like a good idea. Get more...
Dabei City is in a large mountain, with tall trees, lush vegetation, and thick snow spread across the mountains.
Today's sky is foggy, and the sun is obscured by thick clouds. There are occasional birds flying over the branches, and a layer of snow falls.
Creak
The sound of shoes stepping into the snow was heard, and a roe deer ran away, his eyes full of confusion and doubt, as well as a trace of curiosity.
Looking along the line of sight from the robe, there is a young man wearing a windbreaker with a pair of blood-stained gold glasses on his face. There is also a little girl with pink and jade sitting on his shoulders. The little feet swayed slightly on the young man's chest, looking very lively and cheerful.
Lin Qian looked up and looked ahead, not paying attention to the sight of the silly roe deer, and his body flashed on the cliff in front.
The roe deer was startled when he saw Lin Qian suddenly disappearing. He jumped up, turned around and ran away. As a result, he hit a tree with a bang...
Lin Qian stood on the cliff. , eyes slightly narrowed, staring at a valley below the cliff, where there is a village where every household grows peaches and plums.
Looking from here, the village is lined with green trees. The peaches on the peach trees are fresh and tender, and the plums are green and yellow. The golden sun passes through the leaves and reflects on the peaches and plums, which looks particularly... strange< br>
There is no sun today, but you can actually see sunshine in Taoli Village. It is very unusual from here, but compared with the fruits on the Taoli Village, it is not surprising.
"Taoli Village, there are some things, but not much..." The water is a little watery, but there are a lot of foreshadowings here. There are things that can't be helped. Otherwise, many things behind it will not be revealed
