After tidying up, Shen Qingyu and Yue Xiao went to the ghost market together with Yan Linzhi.

The ghost market is indeed not too far away from them, it is only three or four days away, if you have a fast horse, you may be able to arrive in three days.

The ghost city stands next to the island, and there is only one small boat going to and from the ghost city. The day before arriving, Yan Linzhi handed over the clothes he specially prepared to Shen Qingyu, asking him to wear the clothes to go to the island tomorrow.It was a black robe, made of high-quality materials, matched with gold thread, and embroidered with dark patterns on the hem. One could tell that it was expensive at a glance. Most people who walked the rivers and lakes would not wear such fine clothes. Shen Qingyufang felt a little strange , Yan Linzhi gave him another thing.

It was the blood shadow token that Meng Jing used to verify Shen Qingyu's identity back then. Shen Qingyu dripped blood on it back then. A three-inch long black wood slice, but gloomy, looks rather strange, people do not want to look at it.

Shen Qingyu understood.

On the road, Yan Linzhi once said that compared to the other two places He Zhufeng mentioned, such as Mingxiao Mountain and Xinggu, the ghost market is a place for pure business "buying and selling", although most of the businesses in the ghost market are invisible People, but if Shen Qingyu wanted to see what the evil way would look like after it was unchecked, then he might have chosen the wrong place.

There won't be much gain from this trip, but it can't be done in vain.

He wanted to let the people in the ghost city know that the holy religion is not dead, and the blood of the leader is still alive.

Now the token in black is just like Ling Xingzhi's attire back then, and with Yan Linzhi at his side, anyone with a discerning eye can see Shen Qingyu's identity at a glance.

Yan Linzhi even specially instructed Shen Qingyu that after landing on the island, if someone asks about his identity, he doesn't have to pay attention to it, and he doesn't have to say anything.

Why should the leader of the holy religion pay attention to what others say when he travels?

He does not speak, but can be daunting.

If Yan Linzhi's guess is right, if they go around the ghost market like this, at night, someone should come to show their loyalty.

According to what Shen Qingyu said, the ghost market only opened at night, and in the middle of the next night, he changed into the black clothes and wore the Blood Shadow Token, and Yan Linzhi handed him and Yue Xiao a mask for each of them to wear. up, and go out with him again.

He wanted the people in the ghost market to know that the Holy Cult was still alive, but he didn't need those people to recognize Shen Qingyu's identity.

As long as he shows his face and Shen Qingyu wears the clothes again, the people in the ghost city will know that the leader of the Holy Cult is back, but Shen Qingyu's identity should never be revealed, even if Zhang Xiuyuan and the masked man have figured out Shen Qingyu's identity now , but they will not publicize this matter. They still need to use Shen Qingyu's identity as the young master of the Shen family. This identity cannot be exposed. The ghost market is busy and people come and go. It is inevitable that the young master of the Shen family knows the young master of the Demon Sect will be spread, I am afraid it will cause some trouble.

Shen Qingyu is naturally meaningless. Usually when he appears as Young Master Shen, he is used to pretending to be sick and his body is hunched. Now that he wears that mask to cover his face and walk around in an ordinary way, it is indeed difficult for others to see Shen Qingyu from him. Master's shadow.But Yue Xiao was in some trouble. He was equipped with a long and short knife. There were very few people in the world who used long and short knives like him. I am afraid that it would not be long before people would recognize his identity.

Now there are rumors in the Jianghu that Yue Xiao has won the position of the owner of the village, and he is inseparable from the young master of the Shen family. The two may have some extraordinary relationship. If Yue Xiao came out here at this time, he might not Bringing Shen Qingyu along also revealed his identity.

Yue Xiao had no choice but to leave a knife in the inn.

Unreasonable fighting is not allowed in the ghost city, even if there is a fight, the guards in the ghost city will come to stop it as soon as possible. There are many masters among the guards, and usually nothing will happen, not to mention that Yan Lin's martial arts are not worse than him, Shen Qingyu His martial arts are also top-notch now, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't wear a sword.

They arrived at the ferry together, and the man in charge of the ferry was a dumb slave in the ghost market. He never asked anyone why they got on the boat. His task was to bring the boat passengers who were going to the ghost market to the ghost market. People do it, it has nothing to do with him.

When Shen Qingyu saw this person for the first time, he was really shocked.

The dumb slave on the ferryboat was nearly sixty years old, his face was thin and pale, his eyes were cloudy and dull, and he was already a little scary. The most terrifying thing was that he was wearing a white linen filial piety, and he didn't even look at them. The family is really dead.

Yan Linzhi was behind Shen Qingyu, seeing him in a daze, said in a low voice, "He has always been like this, you don't have to be afraid."

Shen Qingyu nodded slightly.

Before coming here, he also learned a little bit about the ghost city rumors with Yue Xiao. Most of the people who work in this ghost city are like ghosts and ghosts. It is equivalent to them dead in the world, so many people behave strangely. It seems that he really regards himself as a dead person, so there is no need to be too panic when seeing anything here.

"He has no relatives, friends or heirs in his family, so he can only wear hemp for himself." Yan Linzhi said indifferently, "I haven't seen him take it off for more than 20 years, so you don't need to pay attention to him."

Shen Qingyu nodded and said, "Yes."

It was just dark when they came, and there were only a few people waiting on the shore, and the dumb slave waited motionless. His boat could carry more than ten people, and it seemed that he wanted to wait until the boat was full before moving. There was a boat full of people, and the dumb slave just jumped onto the boat from the shore. Shen Qingyu saw that his body was as light as a swallow, and his legs were extremely stable. , should also be a rare master.

Only the boatman is like this, let alone other people?

Shen Qingyu was thinking in his heart, turned his head and saw Yan Linzhi paid for the boat, Shen Qingyu didn't see how much he paid, but heard Yue Xiao behind him, smacking his tongue in a low voice, and said: "It seems that ghosts also like money .”

A few people around looked at them, and Shen Qingyu gently shook Yue Xiao's hand, telling him not to speak any more.

The whole boat of people was silent, as if they didn't dare to breathe, Shen Qingyu took a few sneaky glances at the others, and many of them covered their faces like him, apparently not wanting to be recognized as their true identity.There was a lot of fog on the water, and the night was dark. There was only a single light at the bow of the boat. No one on board paid attention to them. After traveling for nearly a quarter of an hour, they finally saw the surface of the island. The dumb slave pulled the boat to the ferry on the island, and Several black-clothed guards wearing weird masks came over and asked them to line up and wait.

When Shen Qingyu walked to Yan Linzhi's side, he felt that someone was watching him.

To be exact, several people were looking at them.

Shen Qingyu had listened to Yan Linzhi's order in advance, but Zhuang Ruo unintentionally put his hand on the hilt of the saber at the side of his waist, and did not speak.

The guards seemed to be checking and frisking one by one. Visitors had to enter a small room before leaving through another door. They waited for a while, and when it was their turn, Yan Linzhi took the initiative to say that the three of them were together. came, the guard nodded and told the three of them to go in together.

There were several other people in the house, apart from a few black-clothed guards, there was also a limping middle-aged man dressed in red and green, who was putting a long sword into a cabinet.

Taking a closer look, Shen Qingyu felt that the man was wearing a shroud, but he had seen that weird dumb slave before, so he was not surprised now, but felt that the sword in the man's hand was quite familiar, like... ...go in the man's sword before them.

The middle-aged man had already turned his head and said to them with a smile: "Guests, you are not allowed to wear weapons on the island—"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Linzhi had already faintly called his name: "Ding Zhenghe."

The man was startled, and when he saw who was in front of him, he couldn't help being quite surprised: "Master Yan? When did you return to the Central Plains?"

Yan Linzhi didn't answer, but asked him instead: "When is the island not allowed to wear weapons?"

"This is a new rule. Hall Master Yan will not know about it for a long time." Ding Zhenghe still smiled and said, "Two years ago, someone came in and made a big fuss, so the master made a rule that no one who enters the island is allowed Bring any weapons."

Yan Linzhi frowned slightly: "It's unnecessary."

For masters, what's the difference whether they carry weapons or not?

He started to untie the sword, handed the sword to Ding Zhenghe, and said: "If my sword is missing——"

Ding Zhenghe waved his hands hastily, and said, "Don't worry, Hall Master Yan, the master has issued an order. This house is under the care of his brother Chi Xuanzi, but no one is capable of taking the sword from them."

In just a few sentences, Shen Qingyu was shocked.

He had heard of Ding Zhenghe's name, so he was meant to be of the same generation as Master He Zhufeng, but later he broke the school rules and was kicked out by his master, and since then there has been no news of him, and Chi Xuanzi's swordsmanship has even worsened. He has the same name as Master He Zhufeng, and even stronger. He was hailed as the first sword at that time, but later his brothers and sisters traveled to sea, and there has been no news since then. Everyone in the world thought they were dead. At sea, they never expected that they would go to the ghost market.

Ding Zhenghe had already walked in front of Shen Qingyu and Yue Xiao.

Yue Xiao raised his hand to untie the knife and taught him. Seeing that Yan Linzhi had no objection, Shen Qingyu was extremely hesitant.His knives are different, if a person who is knowledgeable sees him, he will probably know his identity, not to mention that there are so many people in the Jianghu who want to have him... Can he really hand over him to others? ?

He hesitated for a moment, Ding Zhenghe had already put away Yue Xiao's knife, and seeing that he hadn't taken off the knife yet, he couldn't help but said, "Hero, don't worry, we won't take your knife away." Lost the knife."

Shen Qingyu looked at Yan Linzhi, Yan Linzhi nodded slightly at him, and he slowly resolved the ambiguity.

Ding Zhenghe smiled and stretched out his hand to catch the knife in Shen Qingyu's hand, while saying, "Thank you, hero, for understanding—"

He paused suddenly, even the smile on his face froze.

He had seen the knife in his hand before.

"You...you are back..." He raised his head, looked at Shen Qingyu in astonishment, and called out in a trembling voice, "Master Ling..."
