Chapter 133 Ghost Hunting (1)
Thinking of this, I turned my head excitedly and shouted, "Qian Chuanzi, tell me how your master died?" "Ah? What master?" Qian Chuanzi, who had eaten and drunk enough, was about to fall asleep at this time, and was a little confused by my question.
"It's the master you mentioned before who was eaten by the evil ghost." "Boss, you know that he was eaten by the evil ghost and came to ask me what I did?" Qian Chuanzi replied with a little unhappy, obviously blaming me for interrupting his sleepiness with such a boring question. "I want to ask what kind of evil ghost it is, and how far away that place is from here, how can we get there?" I quickly explained.
"Boss, don't you want to catch ghosts, aren't you?" Qian Chuanzi finally woke up a little and stared at me in surprise, "You guessed it, I just want to catch ghosts, otherwise what will we eat in the future." I nodded affirmatively, "Boss, are you okay?" "Do you still need to ask? You can see if you look at him?" I raised my hand and pointed at Luo Tieshan, which was floating not far away with his head.
Qian Chuanzi turned his head and looked at it, and immediately became excited. "Yes, you have been beaten to such a fierce ghost, so the other little ghosts are naturally no problem. In the future, we will be the ghost hunting group. You are responsible for catching ghosts, and I am responsible for asking for money to ensure a prosperous business and a lot of money." "Don't talk about those useless ones, first tell me what the ghost you saw looks like." "I saw a white shadow." "And what?" I asked hurriedly, "Then I ran away. Didn't I tell you in the afternoon?" Qian Chuanzi said straightforwardly.
I was really convinced that I could say escape so righteously. I thought for a while and shouted to Luo Tieshan, "Luo Tieshan, what the hell can suck a person into a mummy?" Suddenly I saw a roast chicken on the ground. It was something Luo Tieshan had just eaten. Now there was only skin and bones left. The flesh on his body was almost invisible. It felt like a mummy. I had a premonition that the question I just asked was probably in vain.
Sure enough, Luo Tieshan's leisurely voice came over, "That's just a way for ghosts to eat, all ghosts can do it." "Then why my senior brother was torn apart? There are traces of being gnawed on the bones?" Qian Chuanzi continued, "This is a good explanation. It should be that the ghost attached to your master and then asked him to eat your senior brother. The ghost sucked your master dry at this time, which would mean sucking two people dry at one time." Luo Tieshan said casually.
I have to admit that Luo Tieshan's inference is very convincing. The situation at that time should be like this. It seems that it is impossible to understand the ghost through these two dead people. I sighed a long time ago, turned my head to Qian Chuanzi and said helplessly, "You can tell me how to get there." "It's easy. Just follow the trade route at the foot of the mountain and walk for two or three days." Qian Chuanzi pointed to the trade route in the distance and said.
It was another sunny morning. It was the third day we left Yongcheng. After riding a horse for so long, I was a little uncomfortable when I first started. Now I finally understood what it would be like for those who are used to driving cars to walk for a long time. But this kind of discomfort disappeared quickly. With money snails by my side, I could chat from time to time. It was much better than walking alone.
According to Qian Chuanzi, we should be able to go to Luhua Shop today. I was really nervous when I thought about catching ghosts, but I was more excited and my steps were involuntarily quickened.
After walking like this for a whole day, when it was getting late, I finally saw a high city wall ahead. "There is a Luhua Shop there." Qian Chuanzi shouted excitedly.
As the distance approached, the Luhua Shop became clearer. It was obvious that this place was just a small town, with an area much smaller than Yongcheng that had just left, but the city walls were built high and sturdy, not much worse than Yongcheng.
Thinking about it, the people in this world are really hard, setting fires, preventing theft, preventing monsters, and then guarding against bandits, so they have to repair the city walls with some money, but these city walls do not seem to have much effect.
Standing at the city gate, I took a look. Several men sat there lazyly, as if they were guarding the city gate, but they were all wearing ordinary people's clothes, not soldiers. Even so, I hesitated for a moment. After all, there was still my portrait hanging in Yongcheng, and I couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
However, in this backward world, there will definitely be no way to pursue and escape online. At most, it is just hanging a few portraits in the city. After leaving Yongcheng, I became safe, so after hesitating for a while, I walked towards the city gate with a swagger.
At this time, except for these guards at the city gate, there were no people entering and leaving the city. The surroundings were not only empty, but also quiet. The atmosphere felt a bit weird, which made me feel very strange. How could a very good town be dead?
Several men kept staring at Qian Chuanzi and me, but they just stared at me and did not move any other way until we walked into the city gate.
Although this town called Luhuadian is not big, the layout of the city is similar to that of Yongcheng. Next to the city gate is a relatively wide street with shops on both sides, but the scale of these shops is much worse than that of Yongcheng.
Not only is it small in size, but it is also very simple to decorate. Some even just hang a small wooden sign on the low thatched hut. What makes me most strange is that the doors of these shops are all closed, and there is no one on the entire street.
Although the sky is a little dark now, it has not yet completely dark. Although the most lively moment has passed, it should not be so deserted. At least we should still see people in groups of three or three.
I turned my head and looked at Qian Chuanzi, and looked at the few people guarding the city gate. "Boss, we won't have entered the ghost town, right?" Qian Chuanzi said in a low voice, "If there is a ghost town, can there be living people here?" I blinked towards the city gate, "Are you sure they are living people?" "Nonsense, if I can't even tell the difference between living people and dead people, would I dare to catch ghosts?" "But why are there no other people here except these people? I didn't look like this when I came before. Why don't we go elsewhere to catch ghosts?" Qian Chuanzi said in horror.
Looking at Qian Chuanzi's appearance, I felt a little unsure, but since I came, I couldn't just leave like this, so I put on a confident attitude, "What are you afraid of? If you have me, take me to the haunted house first." "Okay." Qian Chuanzi agreed reluctantly, then walked carefully and walked forward along the street.
After walking a while, we turned into a small alley and saw an old man walking out of the house with a basin of water. He was about to splash the water off when he turned around and suddenly saw us. He was stunned. Then he turned around and ran away like a ghost. He threw the basin in his hand. After running into the house, he was in a hurry and inserted the door, which made us stand in the alley and dazed.
"Boss, why did he see us like a ghost when he sees us?" Qian Chuanzi said angrily as he looked at the old man's door in the house, "It's not us, he saw you like a ghost when he sees you like a ghost." I replied with a smile, "I'll ask him what's going on." Qian Chuanzi was a little angry when I said it, so he walked towards the door, "Forget it, since they are all hiding, let's stop chasing and asking." I hurriedly pulled Qian Chuanzi's arm forward.
After passing through an alley again, a high wall crossed the front, "This is the courtyard wall of the rich man's family." Qian Chuanzi pointed to the high wall and said, "I looked forward along the high wall, but I didn't see my head. I shouted in surprise, "This rich man's family is too big, what is he doing? How could he be so rich?"
"I really don't know what I'm doing. I seem to be an official in the past. I came here after I got old and bought almost half of the town to build a house. Because his surname is Wang, everyone here calls him Wang Bancheng." Qian Chuanzi explained while walking, "This name is really awesome." I felt a little happy. Since the other party is such a rich person, the gains from this trip will definitely be great.
I walked along the high wall and came to the end. A relatively wide street appeared in front of me. "The gate of Wang Bancheng's family is in front of me." Qian Chuanzi, who was walking in front, shouted at me without looking back, and then turned to the street. I hurriedly followed him.
But the scene on the street surprised us a little. I did see a majestic gatehouse standing in the distance, but there were several tents outside the door. In this small town with houses, I actually saw tents. This was really strange.
"Qian Chuanzi, is there any custom of sleeping in tents here at night?" I asked in a low voice, "It probably isn't, but I can't say it. After all, I've only been here once." Qian Chuanzi replied with a puzzled look on his face, and slowed down at the same time.
A few meters away from the tent, we stopped and looked at the scene in surprise. This was indeed a tent. There were three tents in total. Each one was full of talismans, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. In addition, there were many magic weapons, wooden swords, copper swords, whisks, jade pendants, sachets, and demon-subduing pestles. As long as you can imagine, there were all kinds of magic weapons, which were sold in a lot of money.
Through the gaps between the talismans and magic tools, you can see that these three tents are sewn with animal fur. They are very thick and have very fine workmanship. You can tell at a glance that the price is expensive and is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.
