Chapter 708: Honestly Explain(1/2)
After a moment.
"You...who are you?"
Lao Jin was obviously frightened, his whole body was trembling, his fat body curled up in the corner of the wall, like a frightened animal, looking at the two Taoist priests in front of him who were righteous, but did what they were as terrifying as evil ghosts.
"Is this the secret that you could never lose a thousand cups before?"
At this time, Wei Zhu had successfully grabbed the bead with a pretty appearance from the other party and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and quickly used his magic power to savor it carefully.
I think there is something mysterious inside.
At the same time, the junior brother on the side explained to the other party very seriously and patiently: "You don't have to worry, we are all good people..."
"Good...good guy?" Lao Jin looked at them as if he was looking at a liar full of lies, and he didn't believe it at all.
Nonsense, these two guys snatched away their rare treasures as soon as they came up. How could he believe it?
The junior brother nodded and continued to explain: "Yes! Do you know that the treasure in your hand is a magic weapon for the demons! It is full of yin energy and evil spirits. Although it can help you not fall for a thousand cups at once, it will easily cause your essence to leak out, your body will be weak, and even if it continues, it will be not impossible to reduce your lifespan!"
"But you don't have to thank us too much. Although we saved your life, we are not trying to repay you..."
He said it was very upright and humble, as if he had seen the excitement of the other party crying in regret after learning the truth, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to himself repeatedly.
However, unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lao Jin seemed to have no surprises. Instead, he nodded as if he had taken it for granted: "I know!"
"Don't be too polite... Uh, you know?!"
The junior brother was about to wave his hand and make a polite conspiracy, but when he heard these unexpected words, he was stunned immediately, stared at him with wide eyes, patted the other party's shoulder heavily, and angrily said, "Do you know you are still holding this deadly bead and swaying everywhere? And you dare to swallow it in your stomach to try drinking? Are you desperate?!"
He thought it was this guy who accidentally got a treasure, but he was so happy when he saw the hunting. Who knew that he had committed this crime?
Wouldn't that be more sinful?
People today are really confused. Do you plan to die for money?
"this……"
Lao Jin was inexplicably shortened a little bit, and he was stunned for a moment, and said with a little aggrieved: "But this bead can only be used three times! Even if I want to use it for the rest of my life, I can't use it!"
When I bought it before, the seller had already made it clear to him, and he thought about it for a while before he bought it.
Three times of energy leakage can only cause him to have a minor illness such as wind and cold. If he is over, he will have a fever and stay in bed for a day, so he will not hurt the root cause. This is also the reason why he dares to use it!
He thinks it is very cost-effective to use this price to make others admire him, and he can also make a big splash.
"Only three times?"
The junior brother was stunned again, turned his head in confusion and looked at Wei Zhu who was studying beads.
Wei Zhu nodded, confirming this statement. After weighing the bead, he said with some sigh: "This bead is indeed a bit strange."
"This thing should obviously be the masterpiece of a ghost with some cultivation level. It has applied some magic tricks to add the ability to achieve the ability to not fall by absorbing the host's essence."
"But this spell is very fragile, and it will dissipate in at most three or four times, and will not harm the host's roots."
"It's really incredible..."
What made him most strange was that this useless bead, which ghost monster who was extremely bored chose to spend his energy to make it?!
Because on the surface, there is no benefit in making this bead at all!
Moreover, because this content is extremely low, the ghosts who make this object should not be strong, but the spells are used quite exquisitely.
Wei Zhu thought at first that she might have caught a big fish, but now she looks like this is not the case.
I was immediately disappointed.
But there is another problem that needs to be solved.
He held the bead and looked at Lao Jin again in front of him, asking in confusion: "Where did you get this thing? Could it be that you have colluded with a ghost?"
It was hard for him to think of any ghost who would specially help the person in front of him make such a thing that was useless except drinking.
"I dare not!" Although Lao Jin was wide-bodied and fat, he was timid and shook his head quickly, "This thing... was bought by me..."
“Born?”
Wei Zhu and his junior brother were both stunned and looked at each other at the same time, and they could see the confusion in each other's eyes.
"Where did you buy it? Tell me in detail..." Wei Zhu asked in a pondering manner.
Lao Jin hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the other party's "vicious" eyes, he shivered again, and quickly lowered his head and said, "I bought it in a place called Ghost Market."
"Ghost Market?"
"Yes, that place is very mysterious, similar to the market in our mortal world, but everyone has it. No, to be more precise, it should have everything!" He said carefully, while his eyes were looking around sneakily, as if he was afraid that something would suddenly appear and scare him.
"There are ordinary people like me, ghosts, monsters... I saw with my own eyes the monsters with a stigma, the birds with wings, and many women who look so beautiful that they are not like humans but have a fox tail behind them..."
He said word by word as he recalled something terrible in his mind, and his face became a little bad. He secretly raised his head and looked at the eyes of the two Taoist priests in front of him, and then shrank back as guiltyly.
I was afraid that I would accidentally anger the two "bandits" in front of me.
Anyway, he just wanted to give it honestly at this moment. As for the bead, he didn't expect to get it back. It would be great if he could save his life today.
Wei Zhu and the others didn't care about these details because they were attracted by the "ghost market" they mentioned.
"It sounds like there are many demons gathering. There are such ghosts nearby?!" Wei Zhu couldn't help but frown and think, feeling that this matter is probably much more serious than what he expected!
Especially when there are many mortals living here!
Isn’t it equivalent to being a neighbor with a group of wild beasts that eat people?
But in addition to this, there is another point that is a bit strange.
"You mean, there are ordinary people like you who are coming and going?"
In Weizhu's opinion, this was like a group of little sheep wandering freely under the gaze of the hungry big bad wolf.
And he can still live well until now?
It's simply incredible!
"Yes, although there are not many ordinary people like me, there are some." Lao Jin quickly replied, "There are all kinds of magical things sold inside, from ordinary delicious snacks to magical magical treasures! As long as you can afford the price, you can buy it! And it is said to be absolutely safe!"
"At least, Lao Jin has been in and out several times, and it can be considered as buying and selling something, and he hasn't encountered any trouble yet..."
Lao Jin suddenly stopped talking because he realized that he was now encountering these two "big troubles" because of this bead.
However, this sentence is obviously not easy to say here, so I can only change the topic: "But not everyone can enter and exit at will. You must have special talismans to find the place, otherwise you will not even be able to find the gate anywhere..."
"There is such a strange thing?!"
Both Taoist priests had vaguely realized that they seemed to have discovered an unknown big secret!
Wei Zhu thought for a while and asked, "Take out the talisman and show us!"
"Can you not pay this?" Lao Jin suddenly looked puzzled and seemed a little confused. "This is the treasure I finally got. Without it, I will never go to that place again."
"Do you still want to go to that place where ghosts are full of?! Do you still want your life?"
The junior brother became irritable and shouted: "Those monsters may not eat you once or twice, but they are cruel and sinister by nature. How could they let this piece of fat escape from their hands? Maybe they will eat you next time!"
"You should hand over the talisman quickly to save your life! Even if you don't want your life, you have to think of your family, right?"
After this "hard-hearted" persuasion, Lao Jin finally took out the talisman hidden under the soles of his shoes and handed them tremblingly. Seeing the painful appearance, he was obviously reluctant to let it go.
Wei Zhu pinched his nose with his left hand, and carefully clamped the talisman from the other party's hand with two fingers, which also emitted the smell of feet from his feet, and placed it not far away in front of him to take a closer look.
This talisman seems to be made of some kind of material similar to thin jade, but the carving is quite delicate and exquisite, with various mysterious patterns on it. If you look at it for a long time, you will still feel a wonderful trance, and it doesn't look like something ordinary.
Not to mention that there are waves of yin energy emitted from it, but it seems that it is restricted by some spell and cannot affect the outside world.
So even ordinary people like Lao Jin can keep them well on their bodies and do not have to worry about affecting their bodies.
"Is this the talisman in that ghost market?"
Weizhu could feel that this thing was not a inferior creature like the previous bead, but was very delicate. In this way, what Lao Jin said seemed to be a little possible.
But they have not actually seen it at the moment, so they naturally cannot assert it. They can only choose to go back and discuss it with their fellow brothers and others before making a decision.
"Then... can I return this thing to me?" Lao Jin still had the last trace of unrealistic expectations.
"Of course not!" The junior brother refused without hesitation.
How could this obviously harming thing be returned to the victim?
However, Wei Zhu remembered another question, weighed the light talisman, and asked in confusion: "By the way, where did you get this thing?"
No matter how you think about this thing, it shouldn't fall into the hands of such ordinary mortals, right?
Lao Jin's face stagnated, hesitated for a moment, looked at their "vicious" eyes, and then whispered: "This is what I got from a beggar."
As if he was afraid that they would not believe it, he hurriedly added: "Really! The beggar is about to starve to death. I saw that he was pitiful and gave him a bun. He was grateful and gave me this talisman, saying that when he lived in a dilapidated temple in the suburbs, he saw this thing fall off the monster with his own eyes!"
"But he thought it must be a treasure, so he secretly picked it up after the monster left, but he didn't dare to take it out casually. He didn't give it to me until I saved it."
"Then do you really believe it?" Wei Zhu felt a little ridiculous and looked at him strangely.
Normally, who would believe this?
Lao Jin scratched his hair a little embarrassedly: "Anyway, it's just a bun matter, so I thought about whether Bai Xin or not, and I wanted to try it. Who knew it was true!"
This was indeed unexpected. Lao Jin looked ordinary and had the courage to go in. He even successfully made a deal from the ghost and came back alive. He really couldn't underestimate him.
