Chapter 20 Flooding Fish Disasters and Common Objects
Early next morning.
In front of the earthen house, more than a dozen lantern ghosts clustered around the window.
The Lantern Ghost stared at the room with salivation, veins bursting out of his head, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Look at me, look at me!!"
Yang He turned a blind eye and closed his eyes to help Guitong refine the Yin veins. From time to time, he chatted with old man Yang who was drying clothes in the courtyard.
Since Old Man Yang started eating at the public house, he could only take half a day off every fifth day.
"Ah He, it won't take long for us to move out of the west of the city. Dad is already looking for a larger yard. There should be news soon."
"Dad, there's no rush."
Yang He sighed slightly. Old Han Yang had been working as a waiter for many years, and his life had been very difficult before. However, after being recruited by the tiger ghost, he now seems to have a lot of money surplus.
The Yin veins have been mostly refined, and the surrounding Yin energy is gathering towards Ghost Eyes.
Not only was the Yang Qi unaffected, the three fires became even more powerful, resulting in a sweet and salty delicacy in the eyes of ghosts.
The black cat was immersed in the catnip and couldn't extricate himself. He looked completely high and made incredible moves from various angles.
Yang He was troubled by the lantern ghost's noise, but he couldn't show anything strange.
Lantern ghosts are only in the weak ghost stage, but they can't handle too many of them. If they are not careful, they will become corpse oil for lighting lamps.
"Hey..."
Yang He was in a disordered mood, and the speed of refining the Yin veins was increasing.
It can be seen that "cultivation is to cultivate the mind" is completely nonsense in this world.
Everyone is raising ghosts, and eagerness for quick success is the best.
Yang He opened his eyes, and there was a red blood streak in the white of the ghost pupil's eyes. The Yin veins had been completely refined, and the ghost pupil was still as good as an arm.
He took out the stone pestle for pounding medicine and ground the earth-bound ghost's incense candle.
The incense candle turned into powder, and there was faint blood seeping out from the vagina. After a while, it turned into a ball of pungent and unpleasant paste.
"Ah He, put lunch in the kitchen, don't forget to fill your stomach..."
Old man Yang put on his official uniform, with a sword on his waist, and planned to leave the courtyard to patrol the streets.
"Everyone is crowded in the market recently. I heard that several chambers of commerce have caught a large number of Turbot fish. I guess the martial arts schools in the city will pay attention to this matter."
Yang He's movement of grinding the incense candle stopped, and he felt something bad in his heart.
"Ah He, try to go to the market as little as possible. Even Sun Captou in the Yamen has been alarmed because the abundance of turbot is really weird."
After Old Man Yang finished speaking, he left the courtyard.
Meow~~
Black Cat noticed that Yang He no longer practiced Qi and shamelessly asked for Yin Qi.
Yang He was too lazy to pay attention to the black cat and stood at the door looking in the direction of the market.
The market is overcrowded, and there are trainers from all the martial arts schools there. It won't be long before turbot fish are shipped to Peibaicheng.
"It is better to complete the tempering of the vagina first. Over time, the quality of the incense candle will be affected."
Yang He returned to the house and smeared the plaster on the surface of the copper coin sword.
The vagina suddenly became active, and the paste could be seen gradually disappearing into the copper coin sword, and the texture of the one hundred and eight copper coins became harder and harder.
He didn't know how to temper the yin instrument, so he tried to use the yin energy to contaminate the copper coins.
As the copper coin sword absorbs the paste, there are a few scarlet rust spots on the sword body.
【Blood Copper Sword】
[Low-grade Yin vessels made from tomb copper coins have been tempered by the incense candles of Earth-bound ghosts and have certain spiritual qualities. They can not only hurt living people, but also have a significant effect on dealing with weak ghosts. 】
The disadvantage of the copper coin sword is still that the material is fragile, but it has been improved a lot.
Yang He reached out and touched the blade of the sword, and its Yin Qi disappeared. He stuffed it into his arms without wrapping it with a strip of cloth, so he didn't have to worry about others discovering it.
"If Master and the old man can help refine it, the Copper Coin Sword will have a lot of potential." Yang He locked the door and walked out of the courtyard, and the black cat grinned excitedly.
Only then did he notice that the caravan was bringing a large tank containing turbot to the market, and there was an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages coming from outside the city.
"Hmm."
Yang He covered his mouth and nose, the turbot fish was accompanied by an indescribable stench.
He followed the crowd to the market, but did not try to squeeze in. Instead, he went to the teahouse on the next street and asked for a pot of tea.
"Please come in, guest! Today we have a good harvest of fish, and we will also give you a plate of cakes and tea!"
The waiter dusted off Yang He and brought him to the window seat respectfully.
Yang Heyi was very interested for a while and secretly weighed the money in his arms. He had spent a lot of money to replenish pills before, but now he only had seventy-three coins left.
"Sir, do you prefer the new tea picked this year or the old tea brewed over time?"
"New tea bar."
After a while, tea, cakes and pastries were brought to Yang He.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
The corner of Yang He's mouth twitched, and he noticed that the tea had an unpleasant stench. It was probably because the Yin energy of the turbot fish had contaminated the ingredients when the tea was ventilated.
He was not interested in drinking tea for a while and observed the situation in the market through his spiritual vision.
The market was bustling with people, and large vats were being moved to the open space constantly. Large vats were arranged neatly, with at least thirty of them in number.
Yang He exclaimed: "Damn it, are they poking a hornet's nest into a hungry ghost?"
It is not yet the season for high tide in Jialiang Water Town, it will take at least two or three months, and even if the tide rises, there will only be a dozen Turbot fish at most.
Yang He stared at the market, and the scene of killing fish attracted bursts of cheers.
"It's like a hundred ghosts walking at night. Why didn't the Yamen stop the Chamber of Commerce from killing hungry ghosts? Could it be that the strange objects themselves can cause...disasters?"
Twelve butchers skillfully disembowelled the turbot fish with their knives in hand.
But the butcher always gets tired, and sometimes the turbot fish dies prematurely, and ferocious-looking hungry ghosts begin to emerge from its body.
Wherever Yang He looked, there were hungry ghosts.
Groups of hungry ghosts were lying on the tops of the surrounding roofs, crawling and peeping at the living people.
Although it is a coalition of several chambers of commerce, the leader is Shopkeeper Chen.
Instead of being angry because of the damaged turbot, he took advantage of the crowd's discussion and waved his hand and said: "The turbot was not handled well, which made all the folks laugh."
"Let's do this, let everyone have a taste of the fish meat that has lost its medicinal properties."
More than a dozen cooks helped cut out pieces of fish as thin as cicada wings, and then were delivered to the hands of the surrounding bystanders by the chamber of commerce clerks.
"We waterside people like raw fish stew the most, so we bothered the master to pay more attention to it."
The people praised the fish and meat repeatedly, which made Yang He's scalp numb.
Even if the hungry ghost has left the body, taking fish will not cause people to become warriors, but such a scene is really too ridiculous and weird.
It's something that only exists in the eighteenth level of hell.
The butcher took out the fish's stomach completely, and the flesh and blood of the hungry ghosts were sold to various martial arts schools on the spot.
Some warriors said impatiently: "Shopkeeper Chen Baosheng, is it possible that several of your chambers of commerce have joined forces to sell the fish stomachs at a price?"
"Of course not."
Shopkeeper Chen added with a smile: "We will sort out the items in the fish stomach and open a temporary stall in the southwest corner of the market."
"In addition, the Chamber of Commerce also caught a rare century-old turbot."
Yang He looked surprised and noticed a separate carriage approaching.
The vision was throbbing, and my temples were throbbing.
It wasn't that there was a ghost in the carriage. Yang He had only encountered a similar situation once, when his spiritual vision sensed [mundane objects].
