This is a kind of peace talisman, and wearing it on the body can ensure that evil spirits cannot approach and sneaks cannot be disturbed.

"Since you're called Master Uncle, there should be a meeting gift." Su Mo hung the jade pendant around her little neck, and said with a smile, "I'll give you this peace jade."

"Why don't you thank me soon?" Yu Youhong tugged on her sleeve.

Yu Que looked at the jade pendant on his chest, and saw that the runes on it were exquisite, shining white light under the moonlight, he could not help but smile, and even his voice was cheerful: "Thank you, uncle!"

   Su Mo nodded, while Yu Que held the jade pendant and looked at the moonlight curiously.

"Where is Daoist Su going?"

"Renjiazhen." Su Mo didn't hide anything.

"That's just on the way." Yu Youhong laughed.

Su Mo glanced at him, then at the guards around him, and suddenly said, "Lady Yu, where did you find these guards?"

"It was paid for."

Yu Youhong said: "In the city where I transported the goods before, the people from the escort agency happened to be out of business, and they all disappeared. In desperation, the old man can only take a few servants on the road."

"Fortunately, I passed a village along the way, and there was a team of bodyguards stopping in that village to rest, so the old man paid for them and hired them to escort me to the provincial capital."

While speaking, Yu Youhong couldn't help flashing a look of rejoicing on his face.

After all, in these turbulent years, if he hadn't met this group of Escorts, it would have been too dangerous for him to escort such a batch of goods with a few servants! .

Chapter 418

"You should be thankful that maybe it's not the guards." Su Mo said suddenly.

"Ah?" Yu Youhong was a little confused, so he asked, "What does Daoist Su mean?"

"You will understand after a while." Su Mo picked up another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, without further explanation.

Of course Yu Youhong's mortal eyes would not understand it, but his Dharma eye could tell it at a glance.

These so-called guards are all ghosts!

They are not ghosts, but they are not ordinary wandering spirits either.

I don't know how Yu Youhong was targeted by this group of ghosts. Su Mo chose not to tell the old man now because he found that these ghosts seemed to have a clear goal.

He was worried that the old man would alarm the group of ghosts if he found out, so he planned to hide it for the time being, and waited to see where the group of things wanted to go before making any plans.

In this way, although Yu Youhong was slightly puzzled, he quickly dissipated and began to chatter with Su Mo.

Down the mountain, it is a wilderness.

The wilderness is uninhabited at night, and the howling of wolves can be vaguely heard from a distance.

The guards took the carriage and went straight in a certain direction.

Yu Youhong had a very happy conversation with Su Mo. After all, Su Mo was born in the inner sect of Maoshan. During this period of time, he traveled around the world and saw people's lives in troubled times and various monsters12. He has seen a lot.

Coupled with the bombing of the information age in the previous life, anyone who chatted with him will be impressed by his rich experience and unconstrained ideas.

But after a while, he suddenly looked around suspiciously, and called out, "Captain Chen?"

The surname of the captain of the pair of bodyguards is Chen, and their name is Chen Yongfu.

"What's the matter, Master Yu?" Chen Yongfu leaned over slowly on his horse, the moonlight fell on his face, showing a strange paleness.

"There seems to be something wrong with this road?" Yu Youhong frowned and said, "I've walked by it several times, so I'm sure I won't remember it wrong. You must have gone astray!"

Chen Yongfu glanced at him, then slowly said: "The road is wrong, but the purpose is right."

"We have traveled this road many times, and we know a shortcut that can reach the provincial capital as soon as possible, and the brothers can also rest earlier."

"Is that so?" Yu Youhong nodded without doubting him, "Then Captain Chen, be careful."

Although I still have some doubts in my heart, after all, my wealth and life are in the hands of others, so I can only choose to believe.

However, a place like Escort has always been very particular about its reputation, otherwise it would not be possible to open it, and there is nothing too valuable in the goods on this trip.

So Yu Youhong wasn't too worried.

Chen Yongfu nodded, and glanced at Su Mo intentionally or unintentionally.

For some reason, he always felt that this young man was special, but he couldn't tell what was so special about him.

Soon he looked away, rode his horse back to the front, and led the team on an unfamiliar road.

Looking at Chen Yongfu's back, Yu Youhong held his granddaughter's little hand tightly, and suddenly smiled bitterly in a low voice: "Oh... I hope nothing will happen. It's a bird."

"I'm here." Su Mo smiled slightly.

"You?" Yu Youhong took a few glances at Su Mo, and saw that he had slender limbs, fair skin, delicate and weak fingers, and he looked like a wealthy scholar with no power to restrain himself.

After understanding the meaning in the old man's eyes, the corners of Su Mo's mouth twitched, but he didn't say much, just casually checked the contents of the little girl's Taoist scriptures.

Although Yu Que was young, she was able to answer the questions fluently, and the smile on Su Mo's face was getting bigger and bigger.

This little girl is much more pleasing to the eye than Uncle Jiu's two swindler apprentices.

With the passage of time, Yu Youhong found something was wrong.

Because the surroundings are getting more and more desolate, even sporadic graves began to appear!

"Captain Chen." Yu Youhong finally couldn't help calling out: "Why don't we take the main road, it doesn't matter if we take a short detour, and when we get to the provincial capital, I'll reward my brothers with more rewards!"

What made him nervous was that this time, Chen Yongfu ignored him at all and just looked back at him.

With cold eyes, with a sense of inexplicability, the convoy continued to move in a certain direction.

Yu Youhong's heart sank, and he finally started to panic.

"Not good." With an anxious face, he lowered his voice and said, "Alas... this old man may really meet someone badly this time!"

"Su Daochang, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect this to happen."

Indeed, if he hadn't pulled Su Mo along with him, maybe this young man would have escaped the catastrophe.

unexpected.

Su Mo didn't seem to care about his words or the surrounding situation at all, he just looked at Yu Que with a smile on his face, and said softly, "Little girl, have you ever seen a ghost?"

"Ghost?" Yu Que broke his little hand: "I seem to have seen it several times."

"Then are you afraid?"

"Not afraid." Yu Que shook her head.

"Yes." Su Mo laughed: "There is nothing to be afraid of."

"Girl, as the uncle, I will give you the first class instead of your master."

"Ghosts, the more you are afraid of them, the more arrogant and powerful they will be. If you are bold and courageous, they will be afraid of you instead, remember?"

"En!" Yu Que nodded seriously.

Looking at the little girl's appearance, Su Mo couldn't help but think of the two figures of Qiu Shengwencai, especially when they saw the ghost, they were scared to shit.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

What evil did Uncle Nine do!

Ren Yuhong was very anxious, but the result would not change in the slightest.

Going around, the convoy stopped at the intersection of a village.

The village was quiet, and the buildings looked strangely deserted under the moonlight, and the windows of many houses were even covered with a thick layer of cobwebs.

"Good fellows."

At this moment, Yu Youhong had completely determined that this group of people had evil intentions, and quickly raised his hands to beg for forgiveness: "I will give you all the money I have, and you can take those goods, just please don't hurt the three of us. …”

"Go in." Chen Yongfu interrupted him directly.

At this moment, its face was already like a blank sheet of paper, with a gloomy and strange color on it, its two eyes flickered with a faint green light in the darkness, and a faint smell emanated from it.

What Yu Youhong didn't expect was that Su Mo got off the flat car on his own initiative, led Yu Que's little hand into the village, and at the same time turned his head and smiled at him: "Everyone is here, so come in and have a look before leaving. "

Chen Yongfu sneered, but did not speak.

But Yu Youhong had no choice but to follow behind, with a bitter look on his face.

After entering, can I still leave?

The village was quiet.

Chen Yongfu led the way, and the ghost guards followed behind them to prevent them from escaping. After a while, they walked into an inn.

To Yu Youhong's relief, the inn was lit up and looked quite lively.

Many people were eating at the table, and a fat man at the front was lowering his head and thinking about his abacus.

He quietly looked at it, and then, his expression suddenly became frightened.

Because he saw that the bowl in front of a man contained not noodles, but a large number of wriggling maggots!

The man's face was completely rotten. While chewing on the maggots, an eyeball suddenly fell from the eye socket and fell into the bowl.

Chen Yongfu laughed in a hoarse voice: "Shopkeeper, the goods you want have been escorted to you by the Escort Bureau."

The fat man with the plan raised his head, and Yu Youhong involuntarily took a few steps back.

There were dozens of eyes on the fat man's face, densely crowded together, and underneath was a big mouth full of sharp teeth, and a human finger was chewing on the side of the mouth.

Those eyes rolled in unison, looking back and forth at several people, especially staying on Su Mo and Yu Que for the longest time.

Not long after, the fat man suddenly exclaimed excitedly; "Yes! There are actually two high-quality goods! Chen Yongfu, you have done a good job in this matter."

What it didn't know was that while it was looking at Su Mo, Su Mo was also looking at it, or in other words, looking at all the ghosts in the house.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a light smile, "Well, Captain Chen, you did a good job in this matter."

These are all merits! .

Chapter 419

This is considered a meritorious service by Lao Chen, not only delivering the goods to the door, but also packing them as a gift!

In addition, Su Mo also knew exactly what this place was.

This is a ghost city!

There are two types of ghost markets. The first type is more formal, usually hosted by a certain ghost king, and is also acquiesced by the underworld.

Its purpose is to give those ghosts who cannot enter the underworld for various reasons a gathering place in the yang world, and trade various useful things in it.

Due to the gathering of many ghosts, the yin energy is extremely heavy. If a mortal enters here by mistake, the yin energy will enter the body, a serious illness, or a poor physique, and it is very likely that they will die!

But as long as you pass it, there will be a lot of opportunities.

Because the items sold in the ghost market are inaccessible to mortals in the yang world, ghosts need to use special currency to buy them, while mortals only need to use the yang energy in their bodies to act as currency.

A hundred years ago, there was a businessman who transported goods into the ghost market by mistake, donated part of his yang energy in exchange for a thousand taels of gold, and immediately became a rich man after he got out!

The second type is the one in front of you.

This kind of ghost market is all created by some powerful monster or ghost. There are a large number of grieving ghosts and ghosts. They use ghost coins to trade and buy living people. If mortals come in, they will never come out again.

These things were not conceived in the mind, but were directly said by Su Mo, the purpose of which was naturally to explain to Yu Que.

Yu Que's face was shining while listening. After all, at the age of seven or eight, it was the time when he was curious about everything in the world. When he first heard about ghost markets, he naturally became very interested.

It's a pity that grandson doesn't worry about his father.

Yu Youhong's expression changed again and again as he listened by the side, looking at the group of ferocious-faced, limb-less ghosts around him, the beard on his chin trembled slightly.

On the contrary, the fat shopkeeper looked at Su Mo in surprise: "Somewhat knowledgeable!"

Su Mo smiled and sighed slightly: "I came here with my uncle a few times before."

Yan Daoqin is the elder of Maoshan, the younger brother of the head of the sect, so Su Mo should naturally call him uncle.

"Uncle Master?" Hearing this title, the fat shopkeeper instinctively felt something was wrong, and asked subconsciously, "Who is your Uncle Master? Which sect?"
