Chapter 41 Obtaining Mundane Items [Ghost in the Stone]

The sun rises.

It is clearly early spring, but Peibai City is becoming increasingly cold and damp.

The market was crowded with people. It was already dawn when Yang He left the government office, so he simply found a noodle stall to sit down and observe the situation.

"I hope that with the inner alchemy technique, Captain Sun can live a few more months."

There was a carriage parked at the corner of the wall a hundred meters away from Yang He.

Occasionally, you can see the groom sitting inside, smoking his pipe.

Yang He was not panicked at all.

Tong Gui is good at controlling Yin energy, and his body is intact, so even the groom may not notice him at a close distance.

"When I advance to the evil ghost stage, you will be the first to die."

"Sir, your clear soup noodles~~"

The vendor brought the noodles, with chopped green onions floating in a light soy sauce-colored soup.

Yang He frowned slightly and tried hard to suppress his nausea. The clear noodle soup had an unconcealable fishy odor. To be more precise, everything in the market had a fishy odor.

"Hey, it's not a big deal if you don't eat."

Yang He didn't want to show any strangeness, so he gritted his teeth, picked up the noodles and swallowed them whole.

He didn't feel tired even after staying up all night, which showed that his physical condition had become deteriorating. He was afraid that he could only meditate instead of sleeping in the future.

Meow~~

When Yang He heard the meow, he glanced at the hundred-year-old turbot.

The Chamber of Commerce has surrounded the century-old turbot with white cloth, but its outline can still be seen, and the fish carcass has long been dismembered cleanly.

Now all that's left are white bones and a giant fish stomach that's more than four meters long.

There were more than a dozen soldiers guarding it.

The difficulty in obtaining worldly things is not to alarm anyone.

Yang He had some hidden plan and was testing the groom's reaction through the black cat. So far, it seemed that the groom was not paying attention to the outside world at all.

"The market is full of mixed people, and the coachman accommodates hungry ghosts. Is it to make it easier for them to find food?"

Yang He waited patiently, pretending to be familiar with the peddler and chatting with him. After a while, he saw the hungry ghost attached to the peddler's right arm open his mouth wide.

He glanced and found that the hungry ghost was staring at the beggar who was asking for food on the roadside.

Yang He's scalp went numb. The hungry ghost stretched out his tongue from his right arm and pierced the beggar in an instant. The yin energy emitted from it made the beggar disappear into the darkness.

Then he pulled the beggar into his mouth and chewed him.

Because the hungry ghost's right arm fell into a layer of hell, others could not notice it at all.

Yang He murmured to himself, "The appetite of the hungry ghost who has revived for the second time is amazing. It seems that this is just an appetizer at most. It is very likely that the Fuyang Chamber of Commerce is responsible for providing food to the groom every day."

As long as Captain Sun is alive, the evil ghost monks will not dare to act recklessly.

Yang He left the noodle stall and leaned over to chat with the peddler selling fake antiques, showing his actor's self-cultivation with ease.

Wait until noon.

The situation was indeed not beyond Yang He's expectations. A group of guys from the Fuyang Chamber of Commerce pushed a cart and brought in twenty or thirty wooden boxes.

Shopkeeper Chen had a terrified expression on his face and kept urging the waiter beside him.

"Be quicker with your moves!"

He carefully pulled open the curtain of the carriage and signaled the servant to move the wooden box into the carriage.

"and many more."

The groom showed his rotten teeth and asked softly, "Chen Baosheng, today we are a quarter of an hour slower than usual. How many animals are there in total?"

"Thirty-one, all mature pigs, sheep and cattle, each with..."

The groom interrupted: "Where are the people and animals?"

"Immortal... Immortal Master." Shopkeeper Chen was sweating profusely, and there was no trace of blood on his face.

"Chen Baosheng, you are planning to send your daughter Chen Qian out of Jialiang Water Town. Are you trying to prevent me from eating her? Hahaha."

"Master, I know that some people and animals have it, some..."

Manager Chen's clothes were soaked with sweat. After leaving the carriage, he quickly selected seven waiters and found a warrior to guard the fish carcass.

"You...you guys help tidy up the carriage."

The clerk had no objection, after all, it was not reasonable for him to not do odd jobs in the Chamber of Commerce. The warrior thought the wooden box was valuable, and was afraid that the clerk might steal it, so he had no intention of helping, and just chatted and laughed with the groom.

"Manager Chen, remember to check the people Song Zhi has come into contact with in the past six months."

Shopkeeper Chen nodded in agreement and hurried away with the remaining employees. After walking a few steps, he heard a wooden box fall and dared not stay any longer.

pat.

The wooden box was opened, revealing the bloody pork. The waiters were stunned.

The groom swallowed his saliva, and his right arm, which was invisible to the naked eye, grew wildly. The hungry ghost had already classified everyone as food.

"I…I have something else to do."

Although the warriors have mortal eyes, they can vaguely feel that something is wrong.

He retreated several meters and a creepy sound was heard in the car, like a wild beast biting its prey, and blood dripped down the wheels.

"Don't go, you're the only one missing. It's very chewy to eat something with a ghost inside you."

Whoosh.

The barbed tongue instantly pierced through the warrior's chest.

The market was extremely noisy and the carriage was parked in a relatively remote location, so no one noticed the fleeting scream at all.

The groom burped and closed his eyes to digest the blood and flesh in his stomach.

At this time, Yang He walked towards the fish corpse without hesitation, and the black cat made a noise in tacit understanding.

Meow~~

The black cat was running around in the stall, causing a lot of chaos.

After a few moments of chaos on the street, Yang He had already taken advantage of the situation and crawled into the white cloth covering the fish corpse.

The huge fish stomach came into view, its surface covered with purple blood vessels, like a tumor about to explode, making one's scalp tingle.

Yang He's mind moved slightly, and the ghost hand appeared behind him, and the pupil ghost was responsible for restraining the Yin energy.

The ghost hand grabbed his neck.

Yang He's head turned red, blood stagnated throughout his body, and his yang fire dimmed, but he also entered a half-real and half-virtual state.

He glanced at the market entrance with a sneer on his face, then dived into the fish's stomach.

The groom opened his eyes as if he had a premonition and looked in the direction of the fish corpse. He only felt that the yin energy was a little strange, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

.........

The fish stomach appears to be only four or five meters in size, but the internal space is more than ten meters.

"Can the stomach of a turbot in the evil ghost stage be used to refine a storage bag?"

Yang He looked around and saw all kinds of messy plants, rocks and hills. According to his spiritual vision, the mundane things should be in the depths.

He found that the gaps between the grass, trees, and rocks were wide enough for a person to pass through, so he withdrew his ghost hand.

"Ahem, ahem, since I took in the powerful ghost, I've used all of it on myself."

Yang He's facial features were bleeding, a strong feeling of suffocation surged into his heart, and the yang fire in his left shoulder was almost extinguished. It can be seen that such methods are by no means conventional.

He rested for a long time before setting off.

Pushing aside the grass and trees, deep in the fish's stomach was the ruins of an almost collapsed house, with two skeletons, one large and one small, lying in front of the door.

Yang He picked up the jade worn by Bai Gu and couldn't help but sigh.

The jade pendant was engraved with the words "Song" and "Zhou", and was obviously a token of love.

He remembered that Song Zhi mentioned that he wanted to see his wife and children at home.

"Damn it! Sooner or later, your ashes will be scattered everywhere."

Yang He simply buried the corpse with grass and wood, then pushed open the wooden door of the ruins and saw the stone ornaments placed on the window at a glance.

Because of its age, the original shape of the stone carving cannot be seen.

It's a bit like a beast crawling on the ground.

Yang He picked up the stone sculpture and the panel gave a prompt that it was indeed a vulgar object.
