Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 173

After entering Degu, Chen Jin asked, "Do you need to pay for buying and selling in the valley?"

Gu Leyou replied: "Sure, otherwise why does Chaoyang Temple maintain order here?"

It's the same principle if you don't get up early if you don't benefit.

Chen Jin glanced back: "The method of Chaoyang Temple is quite mysterious."

Gu Leyou said in a low voice: "What they practice is Taoist Dharma, even if it is put in the world, it will be ranked first. Those who guard Taniguchi are just ordinary disciples. If you encounter the true teaching, it will be even more powerful."

Chen Jin said "Oh" and stopped talking. Discussing others behind his back might cause trouble, so it's inappropriate.

The long and narrow valley has obviously been developed to a certain extent, and many plants and trees in it have been cut down, but part of it remains, and forms a sequence, lined up on both sides.Under each tree, it is equal to a stall, which appears to be orderly.

According to the rules of the ghost market, there is no need to register for a booth, as long as someone comes and sits there, that booth belongs to him until he leaves.

In fact, there is no need to preempt. There are so many stalls, but at most only about [-]% of the stalls are set up. There are always vacancies.

Of course, the area near the mouth of the valley will be more prominent.

But under a pine tree, there was actually a large pot set up, with firewood piled up under the pot, and the fire was raging; the hot soup in the pot was tumbling, and the pieces of boned meat were floating and sinking, emitting a strong aroma.

Sitting next to the soup pot was a man with loose long hair, whose face could not be seen clearly for a while.

Chen Jin looked curiously: "Is this also a stall?"

"Look at those markets, why is there a lack of food stalls?"

"That's true, but what kind of meat is cooked in it?"

Gu Leyou reached out and tugged at his sleeve: "We are here to buy talisman paper, but we don't have money to buy meat."

When Chen Jin heard the words, he immediately understood: the meat in this pot might not be good...

The two continued to walk forward.

Chen Jin looked at it in surprise, feeling like entering another world.

Perhaps, this is the real appearance in the practice world.Although he has embarked on the road of cultivation, he has always been outside the circle.

In this way, it seems to be behind closed doors.

The distance between the trees varies from long to short, some trees have people under them, and some are empty; the way to set up a stall is quite simple, just put a piece of cloth on the ground, or even don’t use the cloth, just load the goods directly.

There are all kinds of goods, most of which are weird and weird, and the more normal ones are weapons and the like.Among them, the proportion of materials is the largest, there are materials for refining equipment, materials for casting spells, and materials for pharmaceuticals...

A group of stall owners, dressed in different ways, do not show their true colors, appearing mysterious.

Chen Jin noticed that not all of them were monks, and there were quite a few warriors. The transactions between buyers and sellers were mainly in gold and silver coins, and some were bartered.

At the beginning, following the Taoist priest, Chen Jin wondered if he could miss something, but after visiting more than ten stalls, he found that was not the case.

There is no missing at all, but there are pits everywhere. If you have more money on you, you may fall into the pits.

No wonder it is said that the ghost market is a pit market. People who dare to love these people come here because they want to deceive people.

Sure enough, people's hearts are like ghosts...

The finished utensils are easy to deceive people, and the materials for casting spells are not easy to fake, so Gu Leyou still bought a stack of talisman papers, cinnabar and other things.

The overall cost is about [-]% cheaper than buying it outside.

Don't underestimate this [-]%, for those who are hard-pressed, save as much as you can.

After the goal was achieved, Gu Leyou wanted to leave and go back.

Chen Jin suddenly asked: "Can we also set up a stall here?"

Gu Leyou nodded: "As long as you pay the money, you can be a buyer or a seller."

"Since you're here, you might as well sell something to cash in."

"Do you have something to sell?"

Chen Jin replied, "Well, I'm going to sell some incense ash."

"Which big temple's incense ash?"

"Uh, I burned it myself."

Gu Leyou: "..."

Scratching his head: "Scholar, do you want to learn from other people's tricks? Those guys are old guys and have a lot of free time, so every time the ghost market opens, they will come to see if they can meet newbies. How can we have such free time? "

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Maybe someone likes it?"

He took out a big bag like a magic trick, and it was filled with incense ash, which was indeed burnt by himself, part of it was normal incense, and part of it was the embers of the "Mind Burning Paper Method", mixed together, accumulated so far, became Such a big bag.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Gu Leyou also agreed, and found a vacant booth nearby, put the burden on the ground, and the stall was considered open.

Incense ashes tend to attract wind and are not easy to place. Chen Jin took out a small incense burner and filled half of it into it as a sample.

Gu Leyou blinked his eyes as he stared at the sombre incense ash, but in the end he didn't say a word, sat on the ground beside him, and began to close his eyes to rest his mind.It's just a matter of practicing the stall with Chen Jin, it's just a waste of time.

For monks, it's nothing to spend a night's work in just one sitting.

Chen Jin noticed that when they were sitting under the tree, a copper lamp hanging above the tree suddenly lit up, but it wasn't very bright, it cast a gray light.

This lamp is exactly the magic tool refined by Chaoyang Temple, it is not an ordinary oil lamp, it has a certain spirituality, as if it is automatically sensitive.

People in Chaoyang Temple are not afraid of being stolen. Who dares to steal things from Chaoyang Temple?
Besides, it's useless even if you steal it. If you don't know the "Chaoyang Real Fire Visualization Magic Lamp Method", the lamp is a mortal thing and useless.

After observing the lamps for a while, Chen Jin also sat up, looking like a fisherman waiting for a fish to take the bait.

There are quite a few tourists who come to the ghost city tonight, and they pass by from time to time, but they are also tightly wrapped and do not show their faces.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, someone finally stopped, but he just looked at the incense burner, got up and left quickly.

Although Gu Leyou closed his eyes and rested his mind, he was actually paying attention to the situation all the time, and sighed secretly when he saw the situation:
Incense ash does have the effect of town house exorcising evil spirits, but there are prerequisites, and it needs to contain the power of will. The longer it is, the better it will be.

In theory, no matter whether it is Daoism or Buddhism, or other schools are sacred, as long as they are the embers of incense, they are essentially the same.However, because Shijia incense is often the most prosperous and has strong aspirations, it is generally recognized that Shijia incense is of the best quality and most widely applicable.

Back then, Lai Zhishu bought a large package of incense from Ciping Temple and went to Laoqiuzhuang to help out.Unexpectedly, the incense ash was fake, and it didn't play a role, and I lost a lot of money.

Incense is the most easily adulterated, even if you don't have a discerning eye, you can't tell it apart.

Now the stall sells incense ashes burned by Chen Jin himself. This is not adulterated, but a complete fake, and it will be hell if it can be sold.

But, setting up a stall is also an experience, so it's just for fun.

Time passed and it was already late at night.

The ghost market has become more lively, with stalls and buyers, shadowy and endless.

Another customer stopped in front of Chen Jin's stall. This man was fat and tall. Although he was wearing a bamboo hat, he could be seen as a monk.

Monks come to buy incense ash?

Gu Leyou shuddered and woke up.

But seeing the other party stretch out his index finger and poke it into the incense burner, then dip it, put it on his lips and lick it.

Gu Leyou: "..."

This bald donkey's taste is really extraordinary.

However, at the next moment, he saw the other party coming over and bargaining with Chen Jin.

Bargaining in the ghost market also has different rules. It is different from the ordinary market. Instead, both parties reach into their sleeves to make gestures.

All in silence.

If it is to bargain, the whole ghost market will appear noisy.

After gesturing for a while, the monk withdrew his hand, shook his head, and walked away.It could be seen that he seemed very unwilling, and after walking for a while, he turned back to look around.

Gu Leyou couldn't help asking: "Scholar, what's your asking price?"

Chen Jin then stretched out his hands to make gestures with him again.

"so tall?"

Gu Leyou yelled out loud. The yell was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of many people. He quickly covered his mouth.

Although you can talk in the ghost market, you need to talk in a low voice. If you talk too loudly, you will be warned. If you don't listen to the persuasion, you will be expelled directly.

"Scholar, you're crazy, what's the price?"

Chen Jin said indifferently: "We are waiting for the money to be used. What's the point if we don't sell it at a high price?"

Gu Leyou: "..."

After thinking about it, I felt wrong: setting up a stall to sell this kind of incense ash is not a matter of high price and low price, but a question of whether anyone wants it.

However, just now, it was clear that someone wanted to buy it, and the willingness to buy it was quite strong.

Could it be that the incense of the scholar has some secrets behind it?
While I was wondering, there was a new customer coming to see the goods.

In the following time, seven or eight people came successively, among which as many as four people were formally negotiating the price.

Regardless of the small number of people, with the ghost market market, as long as you start negotiating the price, it means that the other party wants to buy.

Four people came to negotiate the price, and the last person decided to buy it. After inspecting the goods, he took out a bank note to trade.

Looking at the stack of tickets, Gu Leyou felt unreal: When did it become so easy to make money in this ghost market?

But now is not the time to ask questions, let's talk outside.

Tatata!
A person walked quickly, and recognized from his fat figure, it was the first monk who negotiated with Chen Jin.

Seeing that Chen Jin was closing the stall, and the big burden and incense burner had disappeared, he knew that the goods had been sold, so he stomped his feet regretfully, turned around and left.

According to the rules of the ghost market, monks are not allowed to come over and ask Chen Jin if there is any goods, that would be a taboo.

With the money, Chen Jin gave half of it to Gu Leyou, and bought a lot of consumables, enough for a while, before leaving the Canyon Ghost Market.

When he walked out of the Taniguchi, he saw that Chaoyang Temple disciple was still sitting there, accompanied by a copper lamp and illuminated by the fire, which had a mysterious meaning.

The young Taoist didn't even look at the people who went out of the valley, and only cared about their own luck.

After walking several miles away, Gu Leyou couldn't help it anymore: "Scholar, what happened to your incense ash?"

Although he knew that Chen Jin was good at morality, he didn't believe that the ashes burned by Chen Jin were treasures even if he was beaten to death.

After all, this is unreasonable and logical.

The spirituality of incense ash comes from voluntary power, and Chen Jin is not a ghost, so where can he get voluntary power?
Chen Jin replied with a smile: "It's really the incense ash I burned, but I added some things into it."

Gu Leyou looked at him, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "You won't add a golden body, will you?"

"Well, you guessed it, I added half-nail blond powder."

"..."

Gu Leyou immediately understood.

At first glance, such a large bag of incense ash is mixed with only half of nail powder, which seems insignificant and too fake.

But what kind of treasure is that golden body?
Just a little bit can turn the ordinary incense ash into something miraculous, so that it has the power to exorcise evil spirits in the town house, and the quality is high, much more useful than the hundred-year-old incense ash.

In this way, Chen Jin's selling price was quite reasonable.

At this time, Gu Leyou even felt that the price was too low: "Scholar, the golden body is a treasure that can't be found, and you are willing to sell it?"

Chen Jin chuckled: "The ones that can come in handy are the treasures, and they are just for display. Half fingernails can be sold for a lot of money, so why not sell them? Now, when we are spending money, we care about it." Not that much."

"Well said."

Gu Leyou agrees authentically.

With this amount of money, I can survive another month or two.

Although he didn't open his mouth, after buying a stack of talisman papers in the ghost market, he really had very little money left on him, and the newly obtained money was like sending charcoal in the snow.

Chen Jin said again: "After I go back, I'll give you another pack of incense ash. You can sell it directly, or make it into a charm, use it as you like."

"That's great."

Gu Leyou was very happy and authentic.

He knew very well in his heart that this was Chen Jin's compensation for himself.

Because of Wang's incident, Izumo Temple was implicated, and the Duobao wine industry was stranded, causing heavy losses.

Gu Leyou never mentioned this matter in front of Chen Jin, nor did he make any demands, but friends need a tacit understanding when doing things, so that they can be comfortable.

The night is deep and everything is still.

The two walked together, they walked slowly without using lightness kung fu, and they had some feelings.

Suddenly, they stopped at the same time, looked up, and saw a person blocking the way.

With a fat body, even wearing a bamboo hat, it can be seen that this is a monk.

Gu Leyou recognized him: "What's the matter? You didn't buy incense ash, and now you want to kill people and get more goods?"

The fat monk clasped his palms together: "Amitabha! The almsgiver's words are serious. The poor monk came here just to ask some questions."

Gu Leyou said bluntly: "It's a ghost market rule, don't ask where the goods come from."

"We have now left the ghost market."

"So what? You ask me and I have to answer?"

The big fat monk looked at Chen Jin: "How about this benefactor?"

Chen Jin replied with four words: "No comment."

The monk murmured: "I tasted the golden body in the incense ash. The poor monk just wanted to know where the incense ash came from. As far as I know, there are no more than three temples with golden bodies in Jiangzhou. "

Gu Leyou said angrily: "I can tell you frankly, this incense ash is neither stolen nor snatched, it comes in an aboveboard manner, what's the point of your investigation?"

"Meaning? You should know that the golden body is the supreme treasure of the Shi family, and it is never allowed to be left outside, but if you find it, you must seek it back. This is what it means to me."

The monk said solemnly.

Gu Leyou sneered: "Bah! Killing people for money is killing people for money. Why do you say it so grandiosely? Seeing that you are blocking the road, you still hide your head and show your tail. Let me see what you are capable of, a bald donkey, look at the sword!"

Not much nonsense, draw the sword and stab it straight.

　Thanks to the old iron "Xingruyu" for the generous reward of [-] coins per month, becoming the first elder, thank you!
