While strolling in the ghost market, he suddenly stopped, his eyes penetrated the crowd, and through a gap, he saw a familiar figure, like the scholar he met in the morning.
A Confucian scholar entered this place? The fact that he wasn't attacked by everyone meant that he had successfully concealed his presence in some way.
Lu Yan quietly approached that person and found that his figure was slightly transparent, obviously in a spirit state. Next to him stood a red-haired fox girl with two tails, transferring her demonic aura to the scholar.
"Ah, just like us."
Yingying, who was lying on his shoulder, climbed to the top of his head to observe and found that the combinations on both sides were similar, both were a scholar and a fox.
"Let's go over and talk. By the way, what's the scholar's last name?"
"It's written on the gate of the mansion that it's Ning Mansion."
"Ningsheng, don't reveal your Confucian spirit. Although fighting is not allowed in the Ghost Market, once you leave the Ghost Market, you will definitely be attacked by evil ghosts."
"I saved it, Matchmaker."
Ning Zongyuan and Hu Hongniang, a soul and a fox, walked together, their arms around each other to show their love. They were frightened at first, but after they calmed down, they gradually fell in love.
In a dangerous environment, the feelings between the two sides heated up faster.
Hu Hongniang planned to send Ning Zongyuan, who had mistakenly entered the ghost market, out as quickly as possible, but she forgot with a pale face that she also had things to deal with.
"The exit is just ahead, let's hurry."
Seeing that they were about to reach the exit, the two men showed joy on their faces, but when they were only three hundred meters away from the exit, several gloomy figures blocked their way.
"Hu Hongniang, where do you want to run to? You dare to go against your family for a scholar. How bold!"
A shrill voice sounded, and the scholar (rat) with a shifty face, sharp teeth and a raised mouth shouted. Beside him stood the weasel, snake, and hedgehog, who turned into four other people.
The mouse transformed into a human form is the ugliest, the other four are quite handsome or good-looking.
"Ah, they were the ones who hit me!"
Yingying jumped up angrily, and Lu Yan pulled its fur to calm it down.
The two were blocked and Hu Hongniang's face became even paler. When they saw that there was some excitement, the nearby demons and monsters' eyes lit up and they all gathered around. It can only be said that joining in the fun is the nature of intelligent creatures, and even demons and monsters are not immune to it.
Amid the noise, Lu Yan, who was in the crowd, also learned the detailed historical outline.
The five monsters, including Hu Hongniang, came from the bitter cold land of Kun Dynasty and were indeed from the "Five Immortals". Hu Hongniang came here to avoid the marriage arranged by her parents for her with a young master of the Hui family.
The other four monsters came to capture Hu Hongniang and took her back. As time went by, the order from there gradually changed from "no injuries", to "light injuries are OK", "serious injuries are OK", and finally to "no matter life or death".
During the time of recuperation, Hu Hongniang met Ning Zongyuan, and then a love story between a human and a demon happened.
When the many demons and monsters learned the truth, they all had different opinions and ideas.
The group of monsters felt that Hu Hongniang was too selfish. As a member of the monster family, since she enjoyed the rights, she should fulfill her obligations.
Individual monsters think that Hu Hongniang is too weak. If she were stronger, she would not be like this. Wouldn't it be better to kill all the people who came to capture her?
The monster who hated humans felt that Hu Hongniang's behavior was contrary to her identity as a monster. She couldn't even think about falling in love with a human, and she didn't even think about why the five families were in the bitter cold area.
Monsters who admire humans think this is a very romantic thing. In short, there are all kinds of colorful ideas.
"The diversity of monsters."
Lu Yan sighed and found that humans and their ghosts basically did not comment on this, but were just watching the show. At the same time, some seemed to recognize Ning Zongyuan's identity and were making some preparations.
"This is the final ultimatum for Hongniang,"
The hedgehog-turned girl softly consoled him, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about the person next to you."

Chapter 398: The Lord of the Regional Ghost Market.
The four families were clearly not confident of capturing Hu Hongniang, so they turned their attention to Ning Zongyuan, who was standing beside her, and threatened the scholar's life:
"You don't want him to die near the Ghost Market, do you? With your strength, we won't be able to catch you if you escape alone. But if you bring someone with you, then only the two of you will stay together."
The four monsters threatened fiercely. To ensure that everything went smoothly, they looked around and suddenly spoke to the monsters watching around them:
"Some of you may not know him, but he is a true Confucian scholar and the son of a prefect!"
They had been waiting in the mansion for a long time and directly pointed out the identity of the scholar's soul. In physical state, he was protected by the family gods at home, and by a martial artist or teacher outside.
But now Ning Zongyuan is in a state of soul leaving his body for some reason, and is completely trapped in the ghost market. Then they are not afraid at all, because this is the world of aliens.
Upon hearing this, many demons and monsters stood up and set their sights on Ning Zongyuan. Some of them had evil intentions and wanted to tear him to pieces immediately, but some monsters had other ideas in their eyes.
The other idea was also very simple. It was to help Ning Zongyuan establish a good relationship. When the time comes, his father, as the prefect, would be able to give these evil creatures a minor godhood.
Being involved in gangs is no longer popular. In Dakun, eating public food and taking the civil service exam are the real things!
Ning Zongyuan was obviously not a coward. After several demons from the bitter cold land revealed their identities, his soul floated forward, releasing his own righteous energy, and completely broke Hu Hongniang's demonic blockade.
A righteous spirit exploded in the ghost market, and more demons gathered out of curiosity. Ning Zongyuan stared at the demons and said aloud:
"My name is Ning Zongyuan, the only son of Governor Ning Que! I have something to say, please listen carefully."
With a majestic voice coming out of his mouth, Ning Zongyuan gave a loud speech. In short, he was analyzing the interests of many monsters.
If you help him, his father can give the monster who helps him an official identity, a small priest position, which is no better than being a monster that everyone hates.
But if he were to be killed, the risk would be too high. As the prefect, Ning would resort to any means to avenge his only son. All the monsters that surrounded him would have to die.
Ning Zongyuan, as a scholar, spoke eloquently, using benefits and danger to force them, and swore to the sages of the human race that as long as they helped him, he would treat them with courtesy under certain conditions.
This made many monsters excited. The monsters and ghosts from the bitter and cold land were all evil creatures from other places anyway, and they could not get along with the locals like them.
Most of the monsters in this ghost market come from Baihua City. The Ning family is a tyrant in Baihua City. If they really want to kill Ning Zongyuan, they will definitely not be able to move forward.
Surely we still have to help this scholar, right?
The local monsters are so rude!
When the four monsters saw the expressions of the evil creatures around them, they realized that they were tempted. Their thoughts raced, and suddenly the hedgehog girl looked up at the sky, stretched out her hand to hold the arm of her teammates, nodded at them, and winked at them.
After spreading the relevant information, they made a decision a few seconds later. They suddenly knelt on the ground, raised their hands in the air, and began to call on ghosts and gods.
"Lord of the Ghost Market in Baihua District, please be fair! This matter is absolutely beyond your control. Please be reasonable!"
The four monsters began to kowtow, and the evil creatures around them changed their expressions and knelt on the ground or lowered their bodies. Only a few of them had no intention of moving at all.
Lu Yan was among these people, and as the only human, he was the same type of human-fox combination as Ning Zongyuan and Hu Hongniang, which was quite eye-catching. Some monsters kept shifting their gazes between the two, guessing their relationship.
Hearing that the person in charge of the Ghost Market was coming, Lu Yan looked up with some curiosity. The surroundings were quiet, and a slight energy storm was rising in the distance. From a certain sense of voyeurism, it seemed that someone was indeed paying attention to this side.
With the help of the space channel of the Ghost Market, a figure with dozens of jade hands emerged. It was wearing a golden-red monk's robe, but its head was a centipede's head, and it exuded a strong demonic aura.
"I've listened to the entire process, and I think both of you have your reasons."
The centipede nodded, and his soft, androgynous voice seemed to be trying to smooth things over, but suddenly changed the subject:
"This is the Ghost Market, a place where unorthodox transactions take place. Naturally, we must use the Ghost Market's methods to resolve this matter. How about I test you a few times, and the winner will take this little fox away."
"Of course, Young Master Ning, I will protect you and make sure your soul can return to your body."
The meaning was very simple. It wanted to test both sides, and the conditions were very favorable to Ning Zongyuan. Even if he lost, he would only lose Hu Hongniang, and he would be sent back to his body.
From this point of view, the centipede demon is obviously no match for Ning Que. At least for the sake of the prefect, Ning Zongyuan should be allowed to return safely.
At this point, it suddenly turned its gaze and looked at the people still standing below: "In the best-of-five game, I already have an idea for the first question. Fellow Taoists, how about helping me think of the remaining four questions?"
"can."
The pale-faced girl in the wedding dress turned her oil-paper umbrella, and blood oozed from her neck as she nodded. She fixed her gaze on Ning Zongyuan with a slightly scrutinizing look.
"good."
The skinny monk stared at Hu Hongniang. He looked like a ghost but was full of virtue, and it seemed that he wanted to test Hu Hongniang.
"Then I'll take care of the remaining two questions."
Before the other monsters spoke, Lu Yan took the last two test questions. Several standing monsters looked at him and were about to speak, but suddenly closed their mouths. Even the centipede floating in the air shook and fell down.
He swung the jade pendant in his hand, releasing the aura of the Taihu God completely.
How could Taihu Dragon Lord's confidant be here?!
"Greetings to the Taihu Divine Envoy. I'm sorry I failed to welcome you with such grace."
"That's fine. The Ghost Market Lord has something important to attend to... Anyway, let's continue to make a decision on this matter."
Lu Yan interrupted the centipede. He was now in high spirits and wanted to see what happened next between Hu Hongniang and Ning Zongyuan.
The two of them will definitely survive, as for whether they can achieve success in the future, he plans to test it a little, and by the way, use the authority given by Meng Yun to connect to the Dakun Dynasty network, and also ask someone to come and watch the live broadcast.
The centipede adjusted the crown on his head, turned his attention back to the two teams, and pointed his fingertips at Ning Zongyuan, who was only a soul.
His soul suddenly solidified, and the aura he exuded also grew several times stronger, as if he had recovered the strength he had when he had a physical body.
399
Chapter 399 Test.
The centipede shook his head and said, "Then I will be the examiner. The question will be based on strength. The four of you will fight against these two people."
The most important thing is strength. Without strength, Ning Zongyuan cannot protect Hu Hongniang.
The two looked at each other, and Hu Hongniang subconsciously reached out to touch the wound on her waist. She was still seriously injured. If she could recover, it would not be impossible for her to defeat the four people by cooperating with Ning Zongyuan.
Seeing this, Lu Yan raised his finger and used the vitality distribution that had not been removed, distributing the vitality to the fox. The red-haired woman immediately felt the vitality surge, and the wounds all over her body began to heal automatically.
"Thank you, Lord of Ghost Market."
"Thank you, Taihu Divine Envoy."
The two thanked Lu Yan and Centipede, and even if the four monsters had any complaints in their hearts, they did not dare to show it.
The bad news is that the two weak men have returned to normal. The good news is that even if the two bastards on the opposite side win this battle, they have to continue the fight instead of running away after just one fight.
The scholar raised his hand and placed it on the clothes on the surface of the soul, tearing open the clothes made of energy with force, revealing his strong upper body in front of everyone. Positive energy rose from his body, and the force field that suppressed demons and monsters spread out with him as the center.
"Ahhh!!"
The weak ghosts were about to dissipate just by being illuminated, and quickly floated to the back. Many monsters immediately gave up the battlefield to ensure that they would not be affected.
Seeing that there was a fight to be had, the evil creatures also became excited. The four monsters looked uncomfortable in their righteousness, but Hu Hongniang remained normal, which was as strange as the fact that she could hide in the prefect's mansion.
"She also has an aura of virtue about her. She should be considered a good person in some way."
She murmured softly, but Lu Yan didn't reply, just asked her to continue watching.
Bingbingpong and the enemy compete ~——
The fierce collision was so exciting. This red fox was actually good at both physical and magical skills. Holding two scimitars, he rushed forward with Ning Zongyuan and started fighting with the four monsters.
The scholar, whose clothes were torn to reveal his muscles, was reciting an article with a large number of golden characters floating on his body surface, which gave him a strong defensive effect. He blocked the mouse's claws and directly hit its sharp teeth with a punch.
"The heaven and earth are righteous, and they are mixed and endowed with manifolds. The rivers and mountains are below, and the sun and stars are above!"
As he recited the Song of Righteousness, more visions appeared, and finally in his hands emerged a long sword made of righteousness and energy, and a brush.
He is obviously weaker in strength, but with the help of righteousness and the power of heaven and earth, he can still cooperate with Hu Hongniang to remain invincible, and even have a slight advantage.
After fighting for nearly ten minutes, both sides were tired and the winner was about to be decided.
The brush is usually hung at Ning Zongyuan's side, and basically does not move, as if it only serves as a decoration. He can force back the four evil creatures by waving his sword, and the righteous energy on it produces absolute suppressing power.
Hu Hongniang was even more powerful. She seemed to be the best. The sharp claws and fists she swung could take any of the four people a long time to recover. However, she still showed caution and used magic to fight the enemy most of the time.
You can't fight the enemy without magic. Rats are "disease", weasels are "stinky", and snakes are "poisonous". Once you are infected, it will have a huge impact on your strength.
As for the hedgehog, she was covered in kurled armor, and punching her would only hurt herself.
Hu Hongniang's specialty is fire magic. She controlled the flames of the same color as her hair to sweep away the opponent's spells again and again. When the physical strength and magic power of both sides were close, Ning Zongyuan, who had a relatively low presence, fixed his eyes and reached out to grab the brush.
"Matchmaker!"
"Ai!"
The two approached each other, and the fox transformed into a half-demon body, growing fox ears and two fox tails, becoming a fox-eared girl. The swinging fox tail flashed a red light and accumulated towards the chest.
"Fire trees and silver flowers!"
The fire in his body was completely released, mixed with the dazzling silver light produced by the slight explosion. Ning Zongyuan held the brush and wrote in the air, and various fonts of "fire" suddenly appeared in the air.
"Righteousness Poem!"
All these characters flowed into the flames spewed out by Hu Hongniang, making the flames grow instantly stronger while also being mixed with righteousness and popularity that increased the damage to the demons.
