Mythology

Chapter 26: No one is neither disabled nor crazy

As the century-old turbot was dismembered day by day, only its remains were left.

Most of the flesh and blood had been peeled off, and the organs were simply air-dried and collected by wealthy businessmen in the city. Only the fish stomach remained intact.

The market was bustling with activity, with butchers processing fish and meat from every nook and cranny.

"Heishuitang bought two pieces of century-old turbot~~"

A waiter said loudly, and Manager Chen quickly took the fish wrapped in oil paper and planned to ask the Chamber of Commerce waiter to run to Heishuitang.

"I'll go."

A woman took the oil paper on her own initiative. She looked somewhat similar to Chen Baosheng.

"Qian'er, Black Water Hall doesn't need you to make a special trip there."

Chen Qian is Chen Baosheng's only daughter. Seeing Chen's current state, she was extremely worried and couldn't help but remind him: "Dad, you haven't slept for three days and three nights..."

"I'm very good!"

Shopkeeper Chen had blood flowing from his nose and his eyes were full of fatigue.

Chen Qian only felt that the father in front of her was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and there was even an indescribable weirdness between his brows, as if... he was no longer a human.

"Where did the turbot come from? We in the Fuyang Chamber of Commerce rarely come into contact with rare objects, let alone turbot that appears in rivers and lakes."

"Shut up!"

Shopkeeper Chen's eyes widened because his body was swollen and his belly was larger than that of an ordinary person.

"Fuyang Chamber of Commerce is only responsible for transporting turbot. Does it matter where it comes from?!"

Shopkeeper Chen became more and more excited as he spoke, but soon he touched his abdomen with a look of fear on his face.

Chen Qian said nothing more. She walked out of the market entrance carrying the fish. Just as she was about to enter the alley, she took out a bottle of liquid and applied it on her eyelids.

This is the Qingming Eye Elixir, which she bought at a high price.

It is said that one can use the elixir to conceal one's own yang fire temporarily... Damn it!
"call."

Chen Qian opened her eyes and looked at Shopkeeper Chen cautiously. Her pupils shrank slightly as she saw a scene that overturned her entire life.

There really is a ghost in Shopkeeper Chen's bulging belly! !

It was a shriveled little ghost covered with copper coins. It was staring greedily at the coaches who were bidding for the fish and letting out a sharp wail.

Chen Qian turned pale with fright, and the shriveled ghost also noticed the peeping.

The skinny kid turned his head and looked at Chen Qian closely. The latter ran into the alley in a panic, her clothes soaked with sweat.

Chen Qian wiped off the elixir in a panic, but the ghost image lingered in her mind.

Although the Black Water Hall was not far away, she felt weak after a moment, and at the same time felt as if there was a living thing wriggling inside her body.

"Ms. Chen, how could I trouble you to deliver it in person?"

The restaurant owner surnamed Zhao entertained Chen Qian and then indicated that the fish meat be sent to the inner room.

Heishuitang is not large in scale and has no wealthy businessmen to support it. It is not easy for it to purchase two pieces of fish meat at the end of the dismemberment of a century-old turbot, so it naturally cherishes resources.

Chen Qian was in a state of confusion and responded to Master Zhao reluctantly.

"Cough cough cough."

A violent cough was heard, and then it became more and more intense. Chen Qian heard the weakness of the voice, and an inexplicable fear surged in her heart.

"Master Zhao... Master Zhao, I have something else to do and I'll leave first."

Chen Qian left in a hurry and almost bumped into someone.

"I'm so sorry."

She glanced at the other person and felt that his eyes were extremely deep, perhaps because of the residual elixir, and at the same time, she seemed to hear vague murmurs in her ears.

"fine."

Yang He frowned slightly and watched Chen Qian disappear in the crowd.

He stared at the sky for a few breaths. The rain from hell was pouring down. The accumulated water, which was invisible to the naked eye, had already reached his calves.

That’s right, Peibai City in the first layer of hell will be flooded soon.

"Judging from her attire, she should be from the Fuyang Chamber of Commerce." "There is something fishy going on in her."

【The Way of Greed for Money (Merchant)】

[Once mastered, the money ghost will occupy the stomach and intestines, and can be satisfied by money transactions. Do not make a loss-making transaction, otherwise the money ghost will gradually crawl to the heart. ]

Yang He's heart sank. It turned out that the Fuyang Chamber of Commerce had also come into contact with the practice of cultivation. He hoped that apart from the groom and the livestock herder, there was no third evil ghost cultivator hiding in Peibai City.

"Not necessarily, but it's right to be more careful."

Yang He suppressed his distracting thoughts and pretended to ask about the price of martial arts training before entering the Black Water Hall.

He had noticed Jinsong's condition when he was in the teahouse before. If there was no means to prolong his life, he would definitely die within a few days.

Now that he has hope of survival, how could Jinsong be willing to die of old age?

Yang He is about to go to the world of allusions, and just wants to see what will happen through Jin Song, so that he can find a way to deal with it.

Moreover, I am not willing to give up new and vulgar things.

"kindness?"

As Yang Heyi stepped into the martial arts hall, he suddenly heard a rustling noise. Then the pupil ghost gave a warning and the black cat under his feet scratched his trouser leg.

"Jin Song is dead?"

He stood at the door, pretending to be timid in front of the martial arts hall.

The martial arts hall had no time to pay attention to outsiders. Some warriors were calling Jin Song's name, and the children who were learning martial arts from him couldn't help sobbing.

Not long after, the body covered with white cloth was carried out from the inner room.

To the naked eye, the corpse looked just as skinny as a stick.

But the spiritual vision was different. The organs of the corpse had been hollowed out, and it was obvious that something had crawled out of the mouth before death. It was most likely a hungry ghost living in the stomach.

thump.

The sound of someone falling into the water suddenly rang out.

Yang He remained calm, but in fact he had goose bumps all over his body.

The hungry ghosts have already entered a layer of hell's puddles.

What was most incredible to Yang He was that everyone in the martial arts hall covered their mouths and noses, and they could actually smell the stench that was unique to hungry ghosts.

Yang He could smell it because he had spiritual vision that enhanced his five senses.

where are they?
Could it be that a layer of hell's rain is eliminating the barriers between humans and ghosts?
Yang He shuddered, and after pretending to ask a few questions about joining the martial arts school, he immediately returned home and prepared to go to the world of allusions.

[Ghost Flower: 2/3 (2%)]

He held the lotus seeds in his hand and sat cross-legged in a side room of his home.

.........

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the market, and the four horses were nowhere to be found.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad."

The coachman squatted in the carriage, smoking his pipe, as if watching the heavy rain, the smoke mixed with a fishy smell.

"Zhou Mo, is the plan for Peibai City going smoothly?"

There was clearly only one person in the car, but a second voice was heard.

"It's going smoothly! It's going smoothly! The only obstacle is the half-dead Sun Qi. The benefits gained are more than enough for us to share!!"

"You be careful."

The groom grinned, his mouth full of rotten teeth almost all gone, "Hehe, Sun Qi is not dead yet, and..."

"There is another cultivator in secret. Song Zhi said before he died that this person has been revived for the second time. He noticed me as soon as I entered the town."

Zhou Mo screamed in response: "Impossible!!!"

The groom sneered, "Song Zhi died cleanly. He did not abandon his body after his second resurrection, nor did he go completely crazy."

"But, how can anyone in this world practice without paying any price?"
