Chapter 460 Ghost Market
Li Qi and Li Weng… no, one person and one ghost, were walking through the ghost market.
Many strange scenes passed by the person and the ghost.
There were ghosts holding babies, ghosts crying, foreign monks, mud ghosts, rats playing, snakes, intestines pulling, and many other strange things, but they were all common in the ghost market.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries and told each other about the situation.
Li Qi also directly told Li Weng why he would not be affected, because the fifth-grade treasure ship he was riding on gave them enough blessings when they got off the ship.
This blessing was enough to resist the yin energy at the gate of hell.
As for why Li Qi could ride the fifth-grade treasure ship, neither of them got involved in this topic.
The title of "Zhu Ren" has already made it very clear.
Li Weng knew very well that the man in front of him could show the spirit of the Ghost Emperor when he was not in the rank, and now he can ride the fifth-grade treasure ship when he goes out. Obviously, he is a real "Zhu Ren".
Not the kind of self-proclaimed witch Zhu, but the real Zhu Ren lineage, one of the real masters of witchcraft.
By analogy, it is the direct lineage of Fengdu in the ghost world, which is even more orthodox than the Five Ghost Emperors.
Thinking of this, Li Weng became more respectful, but he did not perform any drama of bowing his head and kneeling down, which would be too undignified and would easily break this relationship.
Moreover, looking at the current situation... this Zhu Ren seems to be very interested in this ghost market, and he has been asking what the strange things he saw are all along the way.
Li Weng naturally responded to every question respectfully with the attitude of a person who repays his gratitude.
With such questions and answers, Li Qi also learned many details of this ghost market.
It turns out that the reason why he can see the souls of many living people is because the ghost market does not actually exist in the world.
When you come to the ghost market, you have actually come to the underworld. If you don’t have supernatural powers to protect your body, you will inevitably be eroded by the yin energy of the underworld.
As the saying goes, sleeping is half dead. When you are asleep and dreaming, many times part of your soul leaves your body, the part that represents life is still in the body, but the other part has begun to wander.
This is the soul leaving the body, sleepwalking in the underworld. Many powerful people used to do this. There was also a powerful person in the human world who wanted to kill a dragon, but because he was delayed by meeting the emperor, he could not leave, so he simply took a nap on the spot. After falling asleep, the soul wandered at night, and then drifted thousands of miles, and killed a real dragon by chance, and returned in three quarters of an hour.
The Taoist sect does not need to sleep, because they have completely controlled the souls of the soul and the soul of the yang, and no longer rely on sleep to wander at night, and can easily leave the body directly.
Ordinary people cannot actively control this power, but when they fall asleep, they can also wander at night as the dream unfolds. Sometimes they just wander on the street, but if they are lucky enough, they can fall into a deeper level and enter the underworld, wandering in places such as hell or ghost markets.
Li Weng told Li Qi about this incident as a fun story, but Li Qi immediately realized one thing after listening.
A deeper level... In other words, the underworld and the world of the living are not completely separated?
For example, some of those spirits even live in the far north, but after falling asleep, they still come to the ghost market of Dushuo Mountain, and when they wake up, they will return to their bodies.
The underworld is not outside the world of the living. The two are likely to be two sides of the same space? At least in the world? As long as you dream, you can enter the underworld, and you may come to the range of another ghost market wherever you are.
So, what is the meaning of the existence of the Ghost Gate?
Li Qi asked Li Weng indirectly, but after asking for a long time, he couldn't ask anything useful. Li Weng was just an eighth-grade ghost messenger, a small follower, and didn't know these things.
Li Qi had to continue to bury this question, and then ask him other things.
For example-
"By the way, does this ghost market have trade with the East China Sea? Or is it only used for transactions between ghosts?" Li Qi asked.
When Li Weng heard this question, he smiled and said, "Zhu Ren really came for this, right? Of course, the ghost market cannot only allow little ghosts to trade. In fact, many powerful practitioners will come to this place, and there are many who are as strong as you, Zhu Ren."
"After all, the ghost market is very convenient. You can come to the ghost market by traveling at night in any place. Although you can't stay for a long time, it is more than enough for a short trade."
"If that's the case, then please trouble Li Weng to help me contact those places? Although the ordinary area of this ghost market is strange, it is almost enough to appreciate it just as a scenery." Li Qi said.
Li Weng nodded: "What's the difficulty? Originally, we, the ghost messengers, have the responsibility of leading the way. If Zhu Ren needs it, we will do our best. Please follow me."
Li Weng said, and walked towards another direction of the ghost market.
Li Qi followed immediately, but he was a little moved in his heart.
Because he saw that the road Li Weng walked to was clearly a dead end. The yin energy in that place was so thick that it condensed into a wall, and even ordinary ghosts could not enter.
Li Qi thought it was just a building, but now it seems that this kind of place is a road leading to other places?
So, what is the underworld? Why do ghosts seem to think everything is normal? Even those ordinary little ghosts who have never seen the world, and those living souls who think they are dreaming, can naturally recognize the road, but Li Qi, a living person, feels that there is something wrong and can't see the road.
Even the real Yun can't see it.
The space in the underworld is not all linear? There are actually a lot of weird spots, right?
Li Qi followed Li Weng while guessing.
Passing through the wall of Yin Qi, Li Qi further confirmed his guess. The space in the underworld is indeed a bit weird. It is not an intuitive linear space, but has a certain degree of distortion. Only ghosts are immune to this distortion.
Without the guidance of ghosts, it would be difficult for people in this world to move here, and they would have to walk around casually.
Then the question comes——
If this is the case, then why does that reasonable scientific research ship stop here and let everyone get off the ship and walk around? Obviously there shouldn't be any results from walking around like this.
Could it be that it was just because there was something going on here, so others were allowed to walk around and relax?
We can't rule out this possibility... After all, Li Dao's group of people seem to be quite simple-minded, and Wang Dun seems to be an upright pursuer.
However, Li Qi felt that those who treat others as fools are the real fools, so they should be cautious.
Thinking this, the Yin Qi in front of his eyes suddenly dissipated.
The vision before my eyes seemed to be like a village with dark willows and bright flowers, as if I had walked into the boundless darkness, and then my eyes suddenly opened up.
Then, Li Qi was shocked to discover——
The place in front of him was no longer so gloomy, but instead came to a place similar to... a palace.
This seems to be a large hall, and it is in the water.
The yin and yang rooms are connected to each other, with carved holes on the pillars and walls, and copper-lacquered windows and doors, all of which are decorated with sparse green details.
In the Zhenqi Fairy Lingtai Pavilion, Zhou Tong is facing each other. Flying beams and stone steps, mausoleums across waterways, gold, jade, pearls, exotic treasures and strange beasts are all displayed here majestically.
He also opened wide gardens and quarried soil to build mountains, with nine slopes for ten miles and two valleys, like two deep forests and beautiful streams. Countless natural fish and sea animals roamed among them.
Li Qi and Li Weng walked through here and could see many maids, all of them sharks or clam girls. They were carrying trays, musical instruments, luxury goods, or some food, and they were constantly swimming around in various places.
Golden Cuisine Bamboo is the best choice at that time.
The food in the kitchen is the treasure of water and land.
Beside the road, there are coral trees, some three or four feet high, with six or seven branches, which are extremely colorful and sparkle in the sun.
The blazing sun in the sky makes the bottom of the water very bright. There are occasionally some protruding rocks. The road is covered with a carpet of molluscs and zoophytes. Among these animal species, many thin shells of different sizes can be seen. of clams.
There were some thick crustaceans with long claws raised, looking warily at the passing sharks.
There is no comfortable furniture, and it is basically made of stone. There are no comfortable fabrics or soft flannel in the water. These will become wet in the water, but they have clothes like water plants, and they are dressed like swimsuits. , very cool.
The buildings here are also different, from various towers and halls carved out of living shells to halls inlaid with bright luminous pearls, with many seaweed balls and coral duckweed, as well as coral trees along the roadside.
This place is like a palace in the shallow sea area.
There was even music constantly ringing in Li Qi's ears. The singing was extremely pleasant and made people feel very comfortable, but there was one thing that couldn't be eliminated.
This feeling is like walking on the street and suddenly the melody of the music I listened to a few days ago or even a few years ago begins to echo in my mind. The lingering sound lingers around my ears. I obviously want to concentrate, but my mind is full of That voice couldn't stop no matter what.
It's weird, but it doesn't affect your thinking.
Li Qi would hold his breath in the water, but even so, he could feel the fragrance of flowers.
Li Weng introduced from the side: "It's very fragrant, right? I wish you all, the clothes worn by these maids are called low light lotus. They are actually like black beads, which can be used for decoration. After the flowers and leaves are withered, they can be woven into garments. They are fragrant. The Qi spreads for more than ten miles, and eating it makes your breath smell good and your skin is good.”
"Also, the sound in my ears is the sound of sirens. It is the overwhelming sound that often occurs in this palace. There are a thousand sirens in total, and they rotate every day to keep the joyful sound in this palace endless."
"It's really amazing, but what kind of place is this? I was in the ghost market just now, why did it become like this?" Li Qi looked at the bright sunshine and melodious singing around him, and was a little confused.
Li Weng explained: "All kinds of big monsters, monks, and ghost kings in the East China Sea can't talk about things in that gloomy Yin Qi, right? In such an environment, big shots should do things cheerfully. This is the second side of the ghost market, the 'Dragon Palace' built by Jiaolong Tianhongjun."
Jiaolong Tianhongjun! ? Dragon Palace? The second side of the ghost market?
Li Qi immediately captured the key information point.
This is still a ghost market, but it has been 'renovated' to better suit the aesthetics of the East China Sea Demon, monks, and ghost kings.
This is not something done by the underworld. The person behind the scenes is actually Lord Tianhong, the famous dragon.
"Zhuren may not know something. Lord Tianhong is very good at extravagant enjoyment and loves good food. He can eat fifty thousand catties of meat in one meal, so this place is extremely luxurious and the food is even more impressive. It is a good place to do business in the deep East China Sea. It's just However, like all similar places, for notarization and stamping, half of the water is required, but it is also very cost-effective. After all, the hospitality here is rich, and Tianhong Jun is also a powerful and powerful person. As a witness, there is almost never a defaulter. You can escape from him," Li Weng said with a smile.
"Wait, you mean that Tianhong Jun is responsible for acting as a notary here and guaranteeing every transaction?" Li Qi asked.
"That's right, and Tianhong Jun is famous for his good hospitality and good notarization. Zhu Ren should want to do business, right? Whether it's selling or buying, it's the most suitable place. This kind of ghost market is a place where the real dragon and the ghost emperor negotiate and build. There are 4,000 such places in the East China Sea. If you are not an insider, you may not be able to accurately find Tianhong Jun's Dragon Palace. I can only say that Zhu Ren is really lucky and happened to meet me!" Li Weng patted his chest and boasted.
Real dragon... has cooperation with the ghost?
Interesting.
Li Qi nodded and said, "Thank you for leading the way, Mr. Li. I do have a lot of things I want to buy. Here is a list. Can you help me contact the merchants? I see that you are familiar with the route, so you should know some acquaintances, right? Why don't you introduce me to one or two, so that I can buy some at a low price."
"Of course, it would be best if I could help Zhu Ren. Zhu Ren, please give me a list of the things you want, and I will find them for you." When Mr. Li heard that Li Qi had something to ask him, he immediately became more attentive.
If he could get in touch with Li Qi, he would be really rich.
Therefore, being able to help the other party was something that Mr. Li wanted more than anything else.
However, Li Qi did need a local snake to help him, so he didn't mind this. Instead, he took out the list written by Cooking Sea Pot for him from the mustard bag, copied it out, and handed it to Mr. Li.
After Mr. Li got it, he took a breath of cold air!
He asked in astonishment: "Live Zhouli, white dragon tendons, Huang Neng, dragon king scales...hiss, Zhu Ren, you didn't want these things yourself, did you?!"
"Of course, this is what an elder asked me to buy for him in the East China Sea. Don't worry, the money is definitely enough." Li Qi said.
"It's not a matter of money. These things, I'm not saying... Zhu Ren, with your level and mine, I'm afraid we can't get them! Just talking about Huang Neng, this is the body of the fallen Tianma, at least it is the fifth grade!"
Huang Neng is a half-dragon three-legged turtle, which was transformed from the white divine horse 'Gun' in the heaven after his death. Moreover, Gun is an innate god and the ancestor of the species 'horse' in the world. There is also a reason why the horse can become a dragon colt.
Although the divine horse is dead and turned into a whole species, so it is sometimes captured, but this is not something that the eighth-grade Yincha can touch!
