Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

Zhou Li had a rough map in his mind. He knew that this place was at least 20 to 30 miles away from the nearest town. A market of this size could not be accommodated in the village. Moreover, a market should not appear in the middle of the night, let alone in the wilderness.

This is just short of putting the words "I have a problem" clearly stated.

But now Zhou Li also understood that in order to break through the secret realm, he had to either find the key source of the secret realm and remove or subdue it, or find a way out and leave quietly. Now, whether leaving or breaking through the realm, the key answer appeared clearly in this market. No matter what the two of them wanted to do, they could not escape this market.

"Come and visit."

Zhou Li touched the plant seeds on his waist, threw a few seeds down, and said to Tang Wan beside him: "Be careful, don't show your fear."

The two continued walking down the mountain.

The mountain road was very narrow, and two people walking side by side could only barely make it. It was easy to walk in the daytime, but it was a bit rough at night.

We walked down the mountain road. This section of the road was like the classic "seeing the mountain and running to death", which looked very far, but was actually farther. When we reached Tangwan, we began to lose strength and had to climb and pant, and finally finished this section of the road.

"Ah!! I!! Thought I was going to die!"

Tang Wan half-lay on Zhou Li, his face pale and dazed, "Old Zhou, should I... go see my grandmother..."

"Don't worry, you will be able to see the two grandmas when you get home."

Zhou Li tried to pull Tang Wan off, but he underestimated his opponent's determination to play badly, so he could only let him have an extra pendant. "You are in such a bad state. I'm really afraid that you will die on me."

"Oh~~ Almost~~"

After Tang Wan took a deep breath, he managed to say, "Are we there yet?"

"arrive."

This road is no longer the same one that Zhou Li and Tang Wan came from. The narrow and damp mountain road has become a wide road, with strange blue paper lanterns hanging on both sides of the road. The scenery along the road has also changed, with some strange trees and twisted grass. There are also some people on the road who shouldn't be there.

for example···
"Dude, you must be confused after losing your head."

A zombie with a broken lower body crawled to the side of Zhou Li and the others with his hands. He raised his head, looked at Tang Wan, and kindly reminded him, "Don't breathe in the ghost market. If you breathe too much, that adult will easily identify you as a human, and you might get eaten."

After thinking for a while, the zombie added: "But it doesn't matter. You don't have a brain anyway. The adults will know that we are all dead at a glance."

After saying that, this kindhearted half-zombie brother used both hands and crawled towards the gate with the words "Ghost Market" engraved on it.

"Thank you, O."

Tang Wan's brain had already crashed, but he still instinctively thanked the other party.

Zhou Li on the side maintained a calm expression, not wanting to reveal any clues.

Because with them, even a hundred ghosts can do it.

Ghosts have two meanings in the Ming Dynasty. One is that the resentment before death has not been eliminated, and the soul does not disperse after death, and it turns into a wronged ghost and wanders in the world. This kind of ghost is relatively rare, difficult to form, and easy to dissipate. But once it is allowed to grow, it will grow into a fierce ghost that most people are helpless against.

Another meaning of ghost is "other than humans".

In other words, all intelligent creatures other than humans are considered ghosts.

Monsters, goblins, zombies, ghosts, etc., all of these are considered ghosts. In a sense, even auspicious signs like Xu Xuan can be considered ghosts.

At this time, the pedestrians around Zhou Li had no "human" intentions. There were ghosts with pale faces, bulging eyes, and tongues hanging on the ground, which were very unhygienic. There were also monsters with strong bodies, holding huge axes, but with half of their heads as bulls. There was also the seven-colored deer, the mountain god who was as elegant and noble as an elf. She passed by Zhou Li, glanced at him, and then ran away as if she saw something dirty, without communicating.

These monsters had different looks, different appearances, and different races. But the same thing was that no matter if these monsters had hands or not, they all held a blue paper lantern without exception. The zombie brother was stuck in the crack of his skull, and the mountain deer held it in its mouth. They seemed to cherish this paper lantern very much and tried their best to protect it.

strangeness.

Although Zhou Li was a little surprised, his expression was very calm, as if he was just an innocent passerby. Tang Wan was a little shocked and hid beside Zhou Li, watching the monsters coming and going, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Gradually, more and more people started to pass by.

There were spirits, monsters with strange shapes, and monsters with mutilated bodies. Even ghosts that were extremely rare and had never been seen before appeared in large numbers. They all walked out of the darkness like Zhou Li and Tang Wan, holding blue lanterns that looked like starlight, merged into the river, and walked into the gate of the ghost market.

The lamps were lustrous and warm, neither cold nor chilly, but rather made people feel inexplicably comfortable and at ease. They came in all shapes and sizes, but they were all very similar. They took great care of the lamps in their hands, treating them like treasures.

Someone discovered Zhou Li and Tang Wan.

In other words, everyone noticed Zhou Li and Tang Wan. It wasn't because they wore ordinary clothes or had a so-called "human" aura. The reason they attracted attention was just because of their empty hands.

Some ghosts would also smell an unusual smell from Zhou Li.

But they didn't react much. They just looked at Zhou Li and the other two deeply, then continued to walk in with the lanterns in their hands.

"This light is definitely something special."

Zhou Li observed for a while and came to a conclusion.

"Ah."

Nodding, Tang Wan said calmly: "It is likely that you will need to carry a lamp if you want to enter the ghost market."

"it is good."

Zhou Li rolled up his sleeves and said calmly: "You know, we can't get the lights through the regular channels now, and it's very late now..."

If you don’t grab something at night, it’s not night.

The two said nothing, but their tacit understanding made them not need to say anything. Just as they were looking for a monster that was easier to kill and could be directly snatched from the lantern, a familiar and tender voice sounded from the side.

"Hey? Zhou Li?!"

The two turned their heads at the same time. Behind them, a petite black cat with white paws and a blue light tied to its body stared at them blankly. She sat upright on the road and asked in disbelief:

"Why are you here?!"

That’s right, the person who appeared here was no one else, not Joan of Arc, and certainly not the poor rat man who took a taxi back to Beiliang after being forgotten.

Black cat Xu Xuan makes a grand appearance.

Zhou Li and Tang Wan looked at each other.

A sinister smile appeared on their faces. (End of this chapter)
