My future diary cannot be the last one

The ingredients of the elixir are supernatural beings transformed from human beings.

This condition immediately solved many of Xun Xi's doubts, such as why the wandering Taoist priest had to spend so much time plotting against the former Gu family to create a being like Si Nian. And why he traveled around Yanzhou and used various methods to perform strange actions similar to "raising ghosts".

I'm afraid they are all accumulating "medicinal materials".

Some of them were discovered by people like King Ni and Xun Xi, and were dealt with as supernatural incidents. But there are certainly many more yet to be discovered.

Just in line with that sentence:

When you find a cockroach in the house, there must be a nest of cockroaches in the house.

There is also the name Xu Junfang.

Many people may not have the impression, but when it comes to the Unification Era, Xun Xi can easily find similar figures from the corresponding earth history.

"Xu Fu."

The alchemist Xu Fu once led three thousand boys and girls to Yingzhou eastward to seek the elixir of death. The so-called "Penglai, Yingzhou, and Abbot" are the three immortal mountains.

In fact, it also originated from him.

Now it seems that 80% of the time he did not get the elixir, and even if he did, 80% of it was eaten by Xu Fu himself. As for the group of people traveling with them, judging from the previous "Cang Haijun", it is estimated that they are all trapped in the Penglai Tower Ship. Xu Fu obviously fooled everyone in one fell swoop.

As for Penglai, Abbot, Yingzhou.

Perhaps the rumors are wrong. These three are not the overseas fairy mountains where the elixir is hidden, but the names of the ships that Xu Fu claims can be used to obtain the elixir.

anyway.

Just the prescription of this so-called elixir and the existence of Si Nian have destined that the relationship between himself and the wandering Taoist priest will never end.

".I see."

Thinking of this, Xun Xi put away many emotions and continued: "Has the wandering Taoist priest found anyone else?"

"have no idea."

The medicine seller shook his head: "After he beat me in the bet, he went deeper into the ghost market. If you want to know, you can ask the cobbler and papermaker inside, but they are not as good as me. It's easy to talk, if you bet with them, you will probably lose your life."

"rest assured."

Xun Xi calmly took out the dog-headed guillotine. Because there was no magic smoke on the streets of the ghost market, he had already pulled himself out of the coffin.

"They'll become talkative."

"So confident?" The medicine seller raised his eyebrows.

"Look at him." Xun Xi turned around and pursed his lips at the embarrassed old man: "Isn't he easy to talk to now?"

elder:"."

Under the gaze of the medicine seller, the old man scratched his neck, smashed the jar and said, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen anyone leading the way?" After saying that, he trotted to Xun Xi, spread his hands and said, "Master, I If you know where the shop of the people who sew corpses and people who tie paper is, turn left in front, please come this way~!”

Medicine seller: "."

Good guy, let me ask you, why is there such a vigorous young man who knows so much about the ghost market? It turns out that you, an old cripple, have rebelled!

"correct."

At this moment, Xun Xi turned around and glanced at the medicine seller, and continued: "Would you like to come with me? Maybe we can meet other people too."

"What!?"

Before Xun Xi finished speaking, the medicine seller suddenly turned back and looked at him with burning eyes. Thoughts were running through my mind: Are you inviting me? Innocent! What does it have to do with me if you go see other people? Even if you win other people's bets, I'm not interested in this kind of fun at all——

"I go!"

——

It's impossible not to.

The next second, the medicine seller rubbed his hands and walked to Xun Xi's side under the gaze of the old man: "Come on, little brother, I'll show you the way."

After speaking, he glanced at the old man.

"Don't trust this old cripple too much. Just look at his crippled appearance and you will know it. He stays outside the ghost market every day and can only fool the newcomers. He also has a little knowledge of the way to the depths of the ghost market, which is of no use. Yes. I have to be more familiar with the key trails."

elder:"???"

brazen!

The old man and the medicine seller looked at each other, and both saw each other's thoughts in each other's eyes: seeing other people's misfortunes was only a small part of it.

More reasons are:

(This young man can actually enter the ghost market without an invitation letter.)

(Then he can definitely leave the ghost market without an invitation letter!)

Whether they are medicine sellers or old people, they can all be called old people. And after struggling in the ghost market for so many years, it’s almost as if he didn’t care about life and death. The only thing that can affect their decision, apart from the rules of the ghost market, is the hope of "leaving the ghost market".

Of course, you can also watch other people’s misfortunes!

The medicine seller and the old man walked in the front, Xun Xi walked in the middle, and Luo Chong and the corpse chaser followed behind. The group of people walked deep into the ghost market.

It didn't take long.

In the darkness, another candle lighted up. However, after taking a few steps forward, he saw that the candle suddenly split into two, and finally turned into two candles.

"The paper-making shop and the corpse sewing shop opened together."

"The two of them work together and make a lot more money than me." The medicine seller whispered, "I think you need to bet with them too."

"Maybe they also know the news about Xu Junfang!"

"Of course, the main ones are those who sew corpses, and those who tie paper must not know anything."

"Paper Making Shop"

Xun Xi ignored the medicine seller's instigation, but thought of what he saw in the inn, the team of paper man sedans that sent him from outside the city into the city. However, the paper figures behind them all disappeared together with the sedan chair. Could it be related to this paper shop?

And just then-——

"A distinguished guest is visiting."

"There is a loss and a welcome from afar."

Suddenly, a hint of paleness appeared among the two candles in the darkness, but it was a paper man with his hands folded in amusement and a smiling face painted on his head.

"Paper maker." Seeing this, the medicine seller was the first to speak: "We haven't seen each other for so long, so you just use paper to greet me? Why don't you come out and meet me?"

"Medicine seller, stop talking nonsense."

As soon as he finished speaking, another paper man walked out from under the candlelight, but this paper man had a lifelike angry face painted on his head, which happened to correspond to the smiling paper man next to him. The two paper men stood side by side, standing side by side. In the darkness of the ghost market, there is something strange about it.

"Ahem. Please forgive me, distinguished guest."

Immediately afterwards, under another candlelight, an old man who kept coughing and seemed to have tuberculosis was seen dragging heavy steps out of the darkness.

"Jun Lan is old."

"A few months ago, I hired a coffin maker to make a longevity coffin. Now that people have been laid down in it, they can only use paper figures to greet guests, and they can no longer get out."

"Sewing corpses!?"

When the medicine seller saw this, he immediately looked at the old man with tuberculosis: "Who gave you the name Junlan? I knew you had a problem moving the store here."

"shut up."

Before the medicine seller finished speaking, the angry-faced paper man stopped him again: "Fuyou, what does he call me, you don't need to interrupt, what does it have to do with you?"

"!!!"

As soon as he said this, the medicine seller suddenly showed an expression of disbelief, and then even took a few steps back. The change in expression on his face made Xun Xi wonder. My mom actually got an unexpected bonus~! There is obviously a story between these three people!

"Ahem."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff for a while, the old man with consumption continued to cough and said: "I've let your guest see the joke, let's get back to the topic."

"What? You want to bet with me too?" Xun Xi raised his eyebrows.

"good."

The old man with tuberculosis said firmly: "The medicine seller should have told you that the most important ingredient of the elixir of wandering Taoist priests is the supernatural being transformed from a human being. The most important thing among them is to retain the consciousness during life. And I know you have the most perfect medicine in your hand."

"I'll bet you on it."

Xun Xi could understand the reason why the consumptive old man proposed this bet: it was obviously because the owner of the paper shop was dying and needed medication to prolong his life.

As for the most perfect medicine cited by the old man with tuberculosis, Xun Xi also has a clue.

Not Si Nian.

Although Si Nian meets the requirements of the drug introduction, as a human, his consciousness retention is not perfect and is still in the recovery process. What is truly perfect should be——

"Lin Xiao."
