My future diary cannot be the last one

It’s that damn wandering Taoist priest again!

It’s really haunting!

Xun Xi's expression was uncertain. Whether it was the Ghost Gate Inn, the elixir of death, or the Penglai Tower Boat, a wandering Taoist figure could be seen in all the layouts that the desperate writer set for himself. His identity is even more frightening to think about, and he is most likely an ancient transcendent.

Anyone who has anything to do with him is bound to be up to no good!

Thinking of this, Xun Xi became more and more vigilant. Then he looked at the old man who was fixing his thigh and asked, "Who are there in front of you?"

"You can't be the only one in the ghost market."

"Of course not possible."

With a click, the old man removed his lame leg, then removed Ning Huai's right leg and inserted it into his body. The next second, the old man stood up directly from the Taishi chair, as if the rain came after a long drought, and let out a comfortable groan.

"Ah~~"

After groaning, the old man quickly explained: "The ghost market only opens during the Ghost Festival every year and lasts for one night, which is also called the opening night."

"And normally."

"All guests who have received an invitation letter will only be invited to the ghost market on the opening night. This is a ghost market operating under orthodox rules."

"But there are exceptions."

"There are actually not many people like me. There are always people who lose their invitation letters in the ghost market and are trapped in this ghost market ever since. And such people will be like me and open their doors in the ghost market. A store that hopes to one day get new invitations from other people.”

"Open a store?"

Xun Xi frowned when he heard this: "Who will open the store for? There is a market night only once a year. When you open a store, who will buy the goods? What products are sold?"

"What do you think?"

The old man grinned when he heard this, and his yellowed teeth looked a little weird: "Ghost Market, Ghost Market, is called this, so of course the guests are ghosts."

“Although opening night only happens once a year.”

"But for some reason, a large number of supernatural beings enter the ghost market every night. They also need to abide by the rules of the ghost market."

"That gives us an opportunity."

"So those of us who are trapped in the ghost market will open a small ghost market every night. By betting against the supernatural beings that come in, we can turn them into our own commodities, or use them to enhance our own strength. Thus preparing for the real opening night.”

"Betting with ghosts."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Chong was a little surprised: "Most supernatural beings can't think, so as long as they operate properly, isn't this a treasure place?"

After all, just keep betting.

Extraordinary people can constantly master new supernatural powers and become stronger.

It's normal for Luo Chong to think so.

However, before he finished speaking, the old man glanced at him, and then curled his lips disdainfully: "Treasure land? Young man, you are still too young."

"idiot."

At the same time, Xun Xi couldn't help but shook his head: "Look at this old man, if this ghost market is really a treasure land where extraordinary people can level up infinitely and improve their strength, then why is he so good? Now? The person standing here is not me, but him."

elder:"."

"That's right, ghosts can't think." The old man explained with a resentful expression on his face, "But it is also protected by the rules."

"So we can bet against supernatural beings."

"But the method of gambling must be determined by those supernatural beings."

"However, you also said that supernatural beings can't think, so they decide. The final bet will inevitably go in one direction."

"Their supernatural rules."

The old man shook his head helplessly: "In other words, if we want to bet against supernatural beings, we must defeat them under their rules. If it is not fatal, it is fine, but if it is a fatal supernatural being, we must Survive being attacked by them."

"Do you think many people can do this?"

"In fact, old man, I have stayed in this ghost city for more than thirty years, which is considered a long life. I have sent away almost a hundred of my colleagues."

“And sometimes, you just have to gamble.”

"Because the supernatural beings who enter the ghost market will wander around unconsciously. And those of us hiding in our own shops, the only way to avoid being invaded by them is to bet against them. If you win the bet, you can survive the night , if you lose the bet, your life will be over."

"Every night is an ordeal."

"Although in most cases, the supernatural beings you encounter are not strong, but a particularly fierce one will pop up suddenly and kill you on the spot."

"hehe."

Having said this, the old man sneered again: "Just in time, it's already night. And in half an hour, the ghost market will become lively."

Then, the old man looked at Xun Xi kindly: "Young man, please stand over here first."

Xun Xi stood aside.

Then the old man's expression changed, and he looked at Luo Chong and the corpse exterminators with a sinister look: "Just because you are a bunch of rubbish who accidentally ate the magic smoke, let alone the real opening night, even the rest of us You will definitely not survive a night in this little ghost market held by the old guy!"

Luo Chong and the corpse chaser: "."

"Mysterious smoke?" Xun Xi asked.

"That's it." The old man quickly turned around after hearing this and showed a kind smile again: "It's the thick smoke you will encounter before entering the ghost market."

"That's what we old guys call it."

"The thick smoke came from a supernatural item, and I heard that it came from the ghost market. It was a brazier. But when it was sold, there was no fire in the brazier and only fuel was left, so someone Adding other fire to the brazier brought it back to life."

Supernatural brazier?

Hearing this, Xun Xi immediately remembered the brazier with billowing smoke that he saw at the gate of the city tower before entering Luofeng County.

On the other side, Luo Chong also reacted.

"Is it that thing? That thing is not a good thing. It will attract supernatural beings! There are supernatural beings everywhere around that thing outside the city."

The corpse chasers also quickly told Xun Xi their previous experiences outside the city. (See the end of Chapter 272 for details)

"I see."

The old man nodded after listening: "It's normal, because the flames that were added to the brazier have supernatural powers that can attract other supernatural beings."

"It's a combination."

Xun Xi also understood: "The fuel in the brazier and the thick smoke released after being ignited have the effect of suppressing supernatural beings. And the newly added flame in the brazier itself can attract supernatural beings. The combination of the two will become a constant attraction Supernatural, but a trap that suppresses the supernatural.”

"No wonder."

Xun Xi looked at the old man again: "The reason why supernatural beings come into this ghost market every night is probably because they are attracted by the brazier."

"I know."

The old man smacked his lips: "We have actually guessed these. It's just that we can't get out, so even if we know the reason, we can't solve it."

"okay."

At this point, Xun Xi changed the subject: "Anyway, let's experience your little ghost market first. How many people like you are there? What do they sell? If there are good things, I might I will also pay for it. As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths."

"Five more."

The old man said frankly without any hesitation: "There are those who sell medicine, those who sew corpses, those who tie paper, those who dig graves, and one who specializes in making coffins."

Good guy, this whole line is all about fishing for vaginas.

Business can be grounded.

But don’t connect to the underworld!

"Are you going to find them?" At this point, the old man's face showed some excitement for some reason, and then he vowed:

"I'm willing to lead the way!"

This makes up for yesterday's post, which is considered the third update.

In addition, there will be two more updates today.
