Crown Princess, she can catch ghosts

Chapter 21 Ghost Market Barter
Dian Su was a little melancholy, and looked around, and found a ghost with a longer age.

Lift your feet and walk towards the stone where the ghost is hiding.

The ghosts sensed Diansu's approach, and shrank like quails one by one. They wanted to escape but did not dare to escape. Their bodies shook violently, so they could only pray silently in their hearts.

I hope this irresistible adult will not notice himself.

"come out."

Diansu said to the old ghost.

Maybe it's because of the incident just now that the anger hasn't subsided, and now Dian Su's voice is still a little cold.

The sound of good suspension did not frighten the old ghost out of his wits.

He poked his head out tremblingly, with a smile uglier than crying on his wrinkled face, and his tone was full of flattery.

"Does your lord have any orders?"

Seeing them shaking like chaff, Dian Su frowned and said, "What are you so afraid of me for?"

A crowd of ghosts screamed silently in their hearts, you burn ghosts with ghost fire at every turn, even the ghost messengers dare not speak out, how can we mere ghosts not be afraid!

If you are unhappy and kill us all, who will we talk to for reasoning!

But they absolutely did not dare to say this to Diansu.

The old ghost held back for a long time, then stuttered and said: "How, how could it be? Your lord is so heroic and extraordinary, we are... this is admiration! Yes, admiration!"

All the ghosts agreed one after another, nodding their heads like garlic.

That's what they said, but they didn't mean to show their faces from behind the stones and tree trunks at all, they just wanted to open a crack in the ground so that they could crawl in and hide.

Dian Su didn't want to bother with them, but asked, "Where is the nearest ghost market? Why isn't there a ghost market opened at Shilipu this year?"

Originally, she planned to go directly to the Shilipu ghost market, but found that there were no ghosts there, so she entered the ghost domain and wanted to ask a ghost who knew about it.

The thing that set fire to the ghost was pure accident.

If it wasn't for him committing suicide, Diansu wouldn't have thought of him at all.

As soon as the old ghost heard that Su didn't come to teach him a lesson, he asked for some convenience and said quickly: "Your Excellency, I don't know, I heard that the owner of the ghost market in Shilipu lost his wife a few days ago, so he closed the market to find her." Madam has gone. The nearest big ghost market is Dushuo Mountain Ghost Market, not far away, and it is very lively right now."

Dian Su nodded slightly, thanked him, and went down to the foot of Taozhi Mountain.

The old ghost hurriedly fell to the ground and sent him off in fear.

When Diansu's figure disappeared completely, all the ghosts breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they were a living ghost again.

The old ghost got up from the ground, thinking of what happened just now, he still had lingering fears.

The ghost pondered for a while, and then asked: "Senior, didn't you just say Dushuo Mountain? Why did you go in the direction of Taozhi Mountain? Did you go wrong?"

The old ghost said: "Mount Dushuo is Mount Taozhi."

This old ghost has been dead for many years, because he likes to play, he missed two reincarnations, and now he can't reincarnate, so he wanders in this world year after year.

A long time ago, Taozhi Mountain was called Dushuo Mountain, also known as Taodu Mountain. There was a big peach tree growing on the mountain, which was renamed Taozhi Mountain by the Eastern Emperors later.

Seeing the old ghost, the old ghost didn't know what to think of, and his expression became dazed, and he didn't ask any more questions, and went to listen to other ghosts chatting and joking.


The ghost market in Taozhi Mountain is hidden in a peach forest. It is clearly July, but the peach blossoms are in full bloom.

The rich aroma of peach blossoms permeates the entire ghost market.

The peach trees here are different from the peach trees in the mortal world. Because they have been in contact with ghosts all year round and are soaked in evil spirits, not only do they not have the effect of exorcising ghosts, but they become the most evil things and are very popular among ghosts.

In the beginning, some people took the peach trees here to harm people in the mortal world, but they were strictly prohibited by the ghost market owner, so they put an end to it.

All the ghosts shuttle back and forth in the ghost city, which is very lively.Afraid of disturbing them, before entering the ghost market, Diansu put away the bone lamp.

Two ghosts dressed as guards stood at the entrance, and seeing Dian Su approaching, they blocked her with two ghostly auras, "The ghost market ahead, strangers are not allowed to enter."

Even though she was covered by a mask, Li Gui could still tell that she was alive.

Diansu took out a stack of coins, a stack of bank notes, and a few crystal clear jade beads, "I know the rules, and I won't mess around."

With a wave of ghost energy, he put away the things, and the two ghosts let them go.

I don't know if it's because the Shilipu Ghost Market didn't open, but the Taozhi Mountain Ghost Market is bustling like never before, it's almost full of ghosts.

Dian Su took a look, only to see countless figures moving around, mixed with ghostly aura.

Of course, it is not only ghosts that are traded in the ghost market, but also celestial masters, alchemists, ghosts, and some daring resellers, and occasionally a few living people who stray into it.

As long as they don't violate the rules of the ghost market, they will be fine here.

Dian Su found the deacon standing on the street, handed over a stack of Ming coins, and asked, "May I ask if there is a concentric bell in the city?"

After the deacon accepted it, he raised his hand and pointed, "The seventh shop over there, the one with the straw hat."

Dian Su thanked him, and followed the direction pointed by the deacon.

The stall was not big, and there were many gadgets on display. Just as the previous one had finished the transaction, Diansu walked up and said, "A pair of concentric bells."

The owner of the stall was wearing an old straw hat, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words, "There is only one pair of Tongxin bells, please let me know."

Rare things are precious, and concentric bells are hard to find, so he naturally wanted to sell them for a good price.

Dian Su was not the first buyer to ask about Tongxin Bell tonight, but obviously, the bargaining chips offered by the people in front were not enough to impress him.

"That depends on what you want."

Diansu didn't pull out all the things in one go, she had a lot of things that could be exchanged, but the Tongxin Bell wasn't enough for her to understand.

Hearing what she said, the owner of the small stall became a little interested, "Don't want anything from the world."

Dian Su understood, stretched out his right hand and handed it in front of him, in the palm of his hand lay a mass of fire between the eyebrows of a 500-year-old ghost.

The fire between the eyebrows of a ghost is the source of its cultivation and spiritual power, and it is also the source of nourishment for ghosts. For ghosts, the stronger the fire between the eyebrows, the higher their cultivation.

Ghosts devour their own kind, and what they devour is mainly the fire between their eyebrows.

As soon as the eyebrows were angry, the buyers and sellers around looked sideways. Although they couldn't do anything due to the rules of the ghost market, they always had some ideas in their hearts.

That's Li Gui's frown!

Still 500 years old!

Seeing the stall owner, he was somewhat satisfied, but he still didn't ask her to take the concentric bell.

Dian Su frowned slightly, surprised that the price of the Taozhi Mountain ghost market barter was too high, thought for a while and took out a blue glazed bone bead.

She had nothing to do with this bead, and used the bones of her previous lives to calcine it with the underworld fire.It took several pieces to refine this bit, and she strung the rest on the bone lamp for decoration.

Only then did the stall owner reach out to take it, and said with a smile: "The guest officer is really generous, please take it yourself."

Dian Su picked up two thumb-sized silver bells from the stall, and was about to leave when the stall owner lowered his voice and said, "This concentric bell is not ordinary, the guest officer should be more careful, ordinary people may not be able to bear it."

Concentric bells have a long history. At first, they were worn by a pair of twin brothers and sisters. Because the younger sister was married away, the elder brother made a pair of silver bells. He asked an expert to make a pair of silver bells and engraved a talisman. When the bell rings, the other one will respond. Brother and sister each wear one to express their missing.

A silver bell that can have such an effect is naturally not ordinary, especially after passing through the ghost market, it is somewhat contaminated with ghost aura, and wearing it by ordinary people is harmful and useless.

Diansu nodded, but didn't care too much, thinking that it would be fine to go back and clean up Yinling.

Seeing her like this, the stall owner didn't say anything else. After all, how could it be ordinary people who can produce these two good things?

Presumably, he would not take such a small matter seriously.

As everyone knows, it was this moment of negligence that made Dian Su later regret not doing it at the beginning.
