Almanac

The ghost market is set up in the Bafang City in the underworld. The whole city is formed into an octagon, with a gate on each side, which heralds visitors from all directions.

This city is as old as the City of Death, and many ghost messengers are still guessing whether this Bafang City was built specifically for the ghost city. After all, there is a word called Bafang Laike.

This is also the busiest time in the underworld once every ten years. Not to mention the anger brought by those demon and human races who dare to come to the ghost market to do business, the ghost cultivators alone rarely gather together for business. There is exchange, and of course small talk.

"I said brother, but I finally saw you. I've been so busy recently that I can't even see ghosts?"

"It's not about the dead city, you know. But it's over, thanks to that lord."

"Hey, did someone come to your side recently who will be sentenced to 100 years in prison? Let me tell you, usually be more polite. I saw with my own eyes that he was brought to the underworld by Mr. Su Wenjun."

"Is that so?! Thank you for reminding me!"

"I can't find you at noon every day recently. Where have you been?"

"I'm going to Wangxiang Terrace."

"Huh? What are you doing there? Do you want to find a lover among the new ghosts?"

"Hey, what are you talking about! How can I like that kind of new ghost with no cultivation base at all! I'm going to see His Highness Qin Guangwang."

"Ah? Your Highness? You mean Wangxiang Terrace?!"

"Yeah, don't you know? Your Highness usually likes to go there when he has nothing to do. Everyone guesses what he is going to watch at Wangxiang Tower. I heard that there are still betting games quietly played in Fengdu City."

"You, don't go! Earlier you said that you could arrange for me to be promoted to a second-class ghost officer. You can't take things and do nothing!"

And so on, zero zero total.

Su Wenjun and Nan Gongjing walked all the way, the streets were obviously full of ghosts patrolling and vendors who started to set up stalls, but those alleys and corners were always filled with conversations of one kind or another.

Nangong Jing heard everything, and couldn't help but look at Su Wenjun, wondering if she heard it.

But before she could make any further guesses, Su Wenjun let out a faint chuckle: "It's really lively."

Ah, I hear you.

Nan Gongjing thought in his heart, somehow, he felt very relaxed in this way.

However, Su Wenjun didn't spend long time walking on the street.

After all, the ghost market is full of dragons and snakes. During this period of time, the movements of Bafang City are monitored at any time. Soon, a ghost messenger found the two of them and said that His Royal Highness Qin Guang invited them to a teahouse to taste tea.

Speaking of tasting tea, you can only taste one Jiuyin tea in the underworld. King Qin Guang has used this trick many times, but it is not too old.

It was the same this time. Soon, Su Wenjun and Nangong Jing arrived at the center of Bafang City under the guidance of Guicha.

The city lord's mansion, which was originally good, has changed its appearance now. I don't know what kind of means King Qin Guang used to forcefully turn a mansion into a pavilion. See the scenery outside.

Just as Su Wenjun and Mrs. Wen went upstairs, they heard a lazy voice inside saying: "King Qin Guang is very leisurely, and he still has time to make such flashy things."

This voice is King Biancheng who always likes to argue with King Qin Guang.

"Where is it? Naturally, this king does not have such good intentions as King Biancheng. He is always thinking about the underworld." King Qin Guang was not angry, and replied with a smile.

King Bian Cheng choked for a while, and this pause lost the opportunity to continue to argue, so he could only glare at him angrily.

However, King Qin Guang didn't seem to notice it, but turned his head to look at the stairs: "Ah, Mr. Su Wen, you are here, please sit down."

Su Wenjun sat down very simply, ignored King Qin Guang, and did not greet those who were already present. Instead, he said to Nan Gongjing who was following him: "Sit."

Nan Gongjing couldn't help looking around, it was still early, and those present were only King Qin Guang, King Bian Cheng, and King Zhuanlun who was second only to King Qin Guang in the underworld.It is said that this wheel-running king rarely appears on weekdays, and only guards his reincarnation place privately, but he will attend every ghost market.

It stands to reason that everyone here is a big shot, but Nan Gongjing is not a person who will panic now, Su Wenjun asked her to sit, and she sat with peace of mind.Sitting next to Su Wenjun, she was still a little happy.

Su Wenjun has always been like this. She has little connection with the affairs of the underworld itself, but she has unique abilities, faintly detached from the underworld.

But Su Wenjun himself is not publicized, and he has no intention of interfering with the underworld at all.

Therefore, the kings of Hades in the ten halls of the underworld all regard it as a guest residence, nothing more than being more polite on weekdays.

Oh no, it seems that Qin Guangwang did not because of some reasons that no one can see through.However, he did not intend to let Su Wenjun get involved in the affairs of the underworld, so the King of Hades in other halls did not move.

After that, people came one after another, and soon, the empty seats were gradually filled.

Every time the ghost market opens, there are actually only a few people gathered here. Su Wenjun is a rare one to see this time, and there is still a vacant seat, which makes everyone guess in their hearts.

Not many people are qualified to come here, and even fewer are willing to join in the fun. Who else has been invited this time?

Is it the king of facial features who likes to nest in his own palace and make dolls with scattered souls?He can't be that city king who always likes to go to hell to see the painful expressions of tortured ghosts, right?

It wasn't until the last person arrived that they stood up and saluted in astonishment.

Shen Tu.

This one is the ghost emperor, the big man who guards Taodu Mountain and suppresses the eight-headed demon snake in Fengmo Cave.

The ghost emperor is different from the King of Hades. The King of Hades can be a person who has both moral character and meritorious deeds for many lifetimes, and is specially appointed king to manage one side of the underworld. That is to say, although they share the greatest real power in the underworld, they may not necessarily have strong combat power.

But the ghost emperors of the five directions were not sealed, they were actually fought, and their cultivation base and combat power were the top figures among ghost cultivators in the underworld.

Therefore, the Ten Palaces of Hades have always made offerings to them respectfully.

No one expected that a ghost emperor would suddenly leave the guarded place to participate in such a ghost market.

For a moment, he secretly looked at King Qin Guang thoughtfully, wondering what this man's plan was, or... something happened?

King Qin Guang, as the only one who was informed of the news, had to invite Shen Tu to his seat.

He had dealt with ghost emperors before, Dongfang Ghost Emperor was two brothers, the Shen Tu in front of him was actually much easier to communicate with than his younger brother Yu Lei.

That one is the real killer, the one who can do it without saying a few words.

"I just heard about the ghost market, and I happened to have something trivial to say to King Qin Guang, so I just came here. You don't have to worry about me, just do whatever you want." Shen Tu's attitude was as gentle as his expression.

It's a pity, what made Shen Tu leave Taodu Mountain?

On the contrary, these words made the kings of Hades present even more fearful.

It was still King Biancheng who was straightforward, and looked directly at the smiling King Qin Guang: "Your Majesty Shentu, even though this is the case, it is related to the underworld. We are also worried about it. It is better to say it first, so you can rest assured later. You say yes No, King Qin Guang?"

King Qin Guang nodded cooperatively, without making a fuss: "King Biancheng is right. Your Majesty, why don't you tell the story? You know, I ordered people to temporarily detain the four souls who died in vain, so I dare not deal with them lightly. .”

Shen Tu stays with Yu Lei in Taodu Mountain all year round.There, apart from the eight-headed demonic snake suppressed in the cave, there was only the dumb chicken left.

Yu Lei is also a person who practices all day long and doesn't like to chat. Although Shen Tu doesn't feel lonely and lonely in this kind of life, he still finds it boring occasionally.

Seeing their insistence, he simply said: "The four souls who died in vain trespassed on Taodu Mountain. Although Yu Lei and I have checked it, there is no doubt about it. But this matter is still a bit strange. The cultivation of you and me The method is different, if you have time, you should go to Taodu Mountain to take a look, so as not to make mistakes that are hard to clean up."

Hades, who didn't know about this at first, all changed their faces.

Trespassing on Taodu Mountain?Just like King Qin Guang thought earlier, this ordinary soul may not be able to do it.

King Qin Guang touched his chin and nodded: "So, after the ghost market is over and all the clans have left safely, we will go to Taodu Mountain to have a look at the snake."

"It's so good." Shen Tu nodded with satisfaction, picked up the cup on the table and took a sip, "Well, this tea tastes strange."

Qin Guangwang said politely: "If your Majesty likes it, you can take some back."

"No." Shen Tu immediately shook his head, "It has a bit of a bitter taste, which is not my preference, and the sweetness of the mountain spring is more suitable for us."

Su Wenjun's hand stopped, and he looked up at him, noncommittal.

The author has something to say:
