Chapter 121 Plague-scattering ghost (double monthly tickets tomorrow!)

There were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages parked in front of the pawn shop, and goods were constantly being carried into the store.

From the perspective of outsiders, ever since the turbot incident, Chen Baosheng's only daughter, Chen Qian, has gradually taken over the Chamber of Commerce's business.

As a result, the Fuyang Chamber of Commerce stopped dealing in rare items and focused on antique calligraphy and paintings.

Even a large family with a large business is gradually declining.

Chen Qian didn't care about the criticism. She stood in front of the pawnshop counting the goods. Her appearance had returned to its original dignified and beautiful appearance.

With Yang He's guidance, she fed the money-grubbing ghost in her body through daily business, and she felt subtle changes in herself everywhere.

With an extremely keen eye for numbers, Fuyang Chamber of Commerce rarely makes mistakes in its accounts.

Moreover, when Chen Qian held the copper coins, she could vaguely sense the good or bad fortune of the things she was facing. Later, she spent silver money to find a fortune teller, and her ability to tell fortunes became more and more obvious.

This is the magic!!

Chen Qian's face was burning, and she vaguely remembered the fortune teller's lonely look at her.

The fortune teller had spent half his life telling fortunes and only understood the basics, but Chen Qian not only understood it immediately, but also easily applied it to other situations.

The most important thing is that the hexagrams calculated by Chen Qian are extremely accurate.

"Shopkeeper Chen Qian, we found what you wanted."

Chen Qian reached out to take the brocade box handed to her by the waiter and quickly opened it.

In the brocade box was half a bone sword that had turned into jade. It looked ordinary, but there seemed to be a faint spiritual light emerging from it.

Chen Qian couldn't help showing joy on her face, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

While no one was paying attention, she quietly pulled out a blue brick from the north wall of the courtyard. This action was the reminder method she had discussed with the immortal master.

Although the Immortal Master never showed up, letters would occasionally appear out of nowhere.

The letters are usually accompanied by a cat's meow.

"Chen Qian, how is it? Is there any cargo missing?"

Li Biaotou walked over slowly, and Chen Qian quickly put the brocade box close to her body.

"Uncle Li, the antiques and paintings you sent are all intact. I will immediately ask the servants to prepare some food for you to go with the wine."

"You're welcome."

Escort Captain Li is in his early forties. The weak evil ghost in his body has been perfected. He is the most powerful escort captain in the Jialiang water town area.

"Shopkeeper Chen Qian, the items we are transporting this time are all from Yandong. That place has been in turmoil recently, so you have to add 30% to the silver."

Chen Qian hesitated for a few breaths, "Okay, the Fuyang Chamber of Commerce will not touch Yandong again in the near future."

"Row."

Li Biaotou glanced at Chen Qian and didn't understand the purpose of Fuyang Chamber of Commerce.

Yandong is close to the East China Sea and has heavy moisture, so the antique calligraphy and paintings are generally in very poor condition. However, they were transported to Peibai City with great effort.

Li Biaotou felt that Fuyang Chamber of Commerce was definitely not for making money.

He did not ask for the specific reasons. Baotong Escort Agency was only responsible for escorting the convoy. The two companies had been cooperating for more than ten years, and there was the necessary trust.

"Uncle Li, what disaster happened in Yandong?"

"I'm not sure. I asked several chambers of commerce to send antique calligraphy and paintings to the suburbs in advance, mainly because I was afraid that the government would suddenly seize the goods. Sure enough, all the towns in Yandong were closed that day."

Li Biaotou has been escorting convoys for twenty years and has seen many storms.

He took out a few tobacco sticks and put them in his mouth to chew.

If you think about it carefully, there is indeed something strange about Yandong. There were no large number of casualties, but the degree of martial law imposed by the government seemed as if a disaster was about to happen.

"Boss Li, everyone is already eating in the backyard."

An escort came forward to remind him, and Escort Captain Li nodded and stood up to follow.

At this moment.

Li Biaotou noticed that there was something wrong with Chen Qian's expression.

Chen Qian's face looked grim as she kept adjusting the copper coins in her palm. As a result, the hexagrams were always very bad, and the greedy ghost in her body began to palpitate.

She looked around and her eyes fell on the escort who called out to Escort Master Li.

The escort returned to the backyard.

Chen Qian saw that the sixth finger of the escort's right hand was white in color, which was inconsistent with his tanned skin, and she felt inexplicably creepy.

Click.

A copper coin broke in two.

"Chen Qian, what's wrong?" Li Biaotou asked softly.

"Uncle Li, how many escorts are there in your group?"

"Including me, there are twenty-four of us in total."

Chen Qian's breathing stagnated, "Is there any escort with six fingers?"

"No, we eat and sleep together, it's impossible that no one knows that I was born with six fingers.

"Uncle Li."

"There are 25 escorts in the pawn shop now. Didn't you notice that an outsider is living with you day and night?"

Li Biaotou wanted to refute and recalled his experiences over the past few days and nights.

Logically speaking, there were four people guarding the carriage at that time, so there would be no spare manpower, but from my memory there seemed to be a... night patrol escort.

Li Biao was horrified.

The extra escorts could have made the twenty-four people unaware...

It's a ghost, not a human!!!

"Chen Qian, have the servants report this to the government office immediately!"

"Okay, Uncle Li, you must keep the situation stable. If it is really dirty, everyone in the pawn shop will be dead for sure."

"knew."

Li Biaotou wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead and pretended nothing had happened as he walked into the backyard.

Chen Qian watched Captain Li leave, and then made some divinations, "We can't contact the government, otherwise the Immortal Master's affairs will be exposed."

"And as soon as a clerk leaves the pawn shop, the hexagram immediately turns into a death hexagram."

Chen Qian did not panic. She simply gathered all the employees in the lobby to sort the goods, using the excuse that the antique calligraphy and paintings needed to be stored.

"We have no choice but to wait for the Immortal Master to arrive!" She forced herself to remain calm, then walked into the bustling backyard.

The escorts toasted each other. They had been tired from the long journey, so naturally they had not had any good food or wine. Now they ate to their heart's content.

"Manager Chen, I offer you a toast and wish your Fuyang Chamber of Commerce a prosperous business!"

The escort came forward with a lick on his face, causing the others to burst into laughter.

Chen Qian responded politely, subconsciously looking for extra people with her peripheral vision.

"The number is wrong!"

"How could it be... How could there be four more people!!!"

Chen Qian's pupils dilated. Unconsciously, there were already twenty-nine escorts. Although they could be easily identified by the characteristics of the six fingers, none of the escorts present noticed it.

She looked at Li Biaotou, who was drinking with others with a ruddy face.

It seems like he has forgotten about it.

"Manager Chen, I'd like to toast you, too."

Chen Qian took a few steps back. The five six-fingered men smiled and toasted each other while muttering something. At the same time, the gloomy atmosphere in the backyard began to grow worse.

She heard a strange noise, similar to a rattle.

But I saw some human head ornaments hanging on the eaves. When the breeze blew, the eyeballs of the human head ornaments moved and the heads made a rustling sound.

How many people are there in Baotong Escort Agency?
twenty four?
No, it should be twenty-seven...

Chen Qian's memory became increasingly blurred, and she forced herself to watch the shocking scene.

The human head ornament began to swell little by little, and the shriveled flesh gradually recovered its vitality. Then, flesh and blood began to grow on the broken neck.

It won't be long before the complete body grows out.

The six-fingered man even gestured, preparing to transplant the human head ornament onto another person's body.

"No wonder..."

Chen Qian fell to the ground and was about to lose consciousness when a cat meowed outside the courtyard wall and the six-fingered men stopped moving at the same time.

pat pat pat.

A figure passed through the courtyard wall.

Yang He's skin was covered with scars. He wore a straw raincoat and a straw hat, with a copper coin sword on his waist. He looked around with a dim look in his eyes.

The moment he saw the six-fingered man, his first reaction was Taiyi Zhenren.

Especially those human head ornaments, which are almost exactly the same as the human head Taoist species in the Huodiao Temple. Yang He does not think it is a coincidence.

"What do you call it?"

The six-fingered man did not respond, but just tilted his head and looked at Yang He.

The corners of their mouths were torn, and the smiles they raised were extremely exaggerated, causing everyone present to laugh strangely, including Chen Qian who was still conscious.

The invisible influence acted on Yang He, trying to assimilate the latter.

The two heads broke away from the roof, and sharp teeth grew out in an instant. Countless blood vessels extended from their necks, trying to parasitize Yang He.

"Could it be that there is a legacy of Taoism from Qianyuan Mountain that will be passed down to future generations?"

"I feel like their appearance at the Fuyang Chamber of Commerce wasn't aimed at me, but... I'm not sure why they came to Jialiang Water Village."

Yang He glanced at the streets and alleys outside and could already see the figures of the constables.

"Master, be careful!!"

Yang He sneered and opened his pupils.

Chen Qian widened her eyes in disbelief. Eyes appeared on the ground and walls, and there was also a vertical eye hanging in the air behind Yang He.

Twenty or thirty people had parasitic pupils between their eyebrows, and then they turned into corpses uncontrollably.

White hair grows, corpse spots spread across the skin, and the eyes turn blood red.

Yang Hexue's mind moved, and the two heads started biting each other. The six-fingered men were also killing each other, unable to escape the control of the pupil ghost.

After the pupil ghost was promoted to the evil ghost realm, it already possessed some of the abilities of the plague eye.

The original purpose of the eye possession was to guide negative energy into the body and corrode it, but now it can forcibly transform the target into a corpse and control its mind.

Moreover, the negative energy will also bring with it a plague unique to Yanghe, drought.

All eye pupils closed.

Yang He took out the brocade box from Chen Qian's arms, then left the pawnshop without looking back.

The six-fingered man spontaneously combusted without fire, the escort's corpse disappeared, and the backyard returned to the feasting and drinking, and everything seemed like a dream.

"This is the true art of immortality! I must become an immortal!"

Chen Qian gritted her teeth, powerless to face the evil spirit, which vanished into thin air with a wave of her hand. When would she be able to possess the same magical power? !

She then fumbled for a piece of paper in her arms.

"To deal with the government, I will teach you how to practice. If you cannot deal with the government, I will not show up in the Fuyang Chamber of Commerce in the future."

Chen Qian heard the constable knocking on the door and suppressed her distracting thoughts as she walked towards him.

Meow~~

The black cat looked at Chen Qian for a few breaths, swept the only remaining human head ornament into the shadow with its tail, and then followed Yang He happily.

Yang He returned to his normal state and walked slowly among the traffic.

【Human Head Talisman】

[The middle-grade Yin Talisman refined by the Zishi Sect can carry the residual soul of the person. If infused with Yin Qi, it can be transformed into a "living corpse". ]

"Hanging corpses, Zishi Sect, the main world is far from being as simple as imagined."

"However, no matter whether it is related to Qianyuan Mountain or not, anyone who dares to disturb me will surely die!"

A murderous intent flashed in Yang He's eyes, and the two broken bones in his hands merged into one when they touched each other.

[Vulgar things: Plague]

[Related allusion: "Plague Ghost", whether to consume 10 points of spiritual vision to enter the allusion world]

"10 points of spiritual vision, it seems that the Plague Ghost has already started the Conferred God War."

Yang He had a hunch that the Plague Ghost was definitely related to Emperor Haotian. He would wait until the Powerful Ghost was promoted to the Evil Ghost Realm and then find out the truth.
