Mr. Thaumaturgy

Chapter 140 Selling Ghosts
Walking along the way, I saw a lot of red lanterns. The ghost bridge is very long. Walking on the ghost bridge, you can still hear the sound of running water.

I leaned down to look, and I could see many boats, and there were laughter and joy in the boats.

But the more I looked at it, these people had masks on their faces, which gave people a very strange feeling, as if they had come to another world.

"Interesting." The thin monkey asked me.

I nodded and hummed lightly. At this time, the city god in front took out a few masks and asked us to put them on.

These masks are very strange, basically imitating the faces of animals. I picked a bear mask, the fat man picked a pig, the skinny monkey picked a skinny monkey, and Mu Xue took a rabbit.

"Skinny monkey, what's so special about this mask?" I asked doubtfully.

"People who come to the ghost market don't want to be seen by others. Some people trade in the ghost market, and some people want to remain mysterious." Said the thin monkey.

I nodded, thinking that's it.

Walking on the ghost bridge, I felt like I had walked for a long time. When I walked out of the ghost bridge, I saw a magnificent city.

There are all kinds of costumes, including those from the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty.

"Sir, buy a steamed bun." An old woman pushing a dirt cart grabbed my sleeve and said to me with a smile.

The old woman bent her body and looked kindly.

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, I could smell a strong fragrance coming from the truck she pushed over.

"How much?" I said, touching my nose.

"Three grains of money." said the old woman.

"Sanwen?" I frowned slightly, thinking that I don't have Sanwen money, I am a modern person.

Just as I continued, the old woman said again: "It's okay to give you food for free, but you help
I push the cart, but my body is so weak that I can't push the cart anymore. "

I said yes, and the old woman brought over two steaming steamed buns, and I was about to take them.

Before I could catch the bun, a hand suddenly stretched out and hit the bun on the ground.

I turned around in some surprise, and saw Mu Xue staring at the old woman with cold eyes.

Because she was wearing a rabbit mask, she couldn't see Mu Xue's expression.

The old woman was also taken aback by Mu Xue's meddling, her face showing anger.

"Musue, why did you beat the bun so well?" I asked.

"Look carefully." Mu Xue said in a deep voice.

Hearing Mu Xue's words, I looked at the buns on the ground. There were still traces of buns on the ground, which were completely reptiles.

"If you eat these worms, your soul will be snatched away by this old woman, and you will become her ghost!" Mu Xue said coldly.

The old woman gritted her teeth, and yelled at Mu Xue angrily: "The slut who got it dared to spoil my mother-in-law's good deeds! Take your soul!"

Said, the old woman stepped out quickly, with a ghostly aura on her body.

Just rushed in front of Mu Xue, and saw Mu Xue took out a token.

When the token is illuminated by the lantern, it still glistens.

Obviously not a joker, which is much smaller than this.

Seeing this token, the arrogant old woman wilted instantly like a frosted eggplant.

"Get lost!" Mu Xue said coldly.

The old woman shrank her head, not daring to say anything to Mu Xue, and hurriedly pushed the cart away.

"In addition to the living, there are more dead people here. If you originally wanted to die inexplicably, you should follow behind obediently. If there is another time, I will not help you." Mu Xue said lightly, turning around walked over.

Looking at Mu Xue's figure, I touched my nose, seeing her like this, I don't care if I say thank you to her.

Walking over quickly, the thin monkey joked with me: "I haven't seen you all this time, I didn't think

I went to buy steamed buns from you boy, but the steamed stuffed buns in this place are cannibalistic buns. I absolutely can’t eat them. Back then, the fat man ate all the steamed stuffed buns. If it wasn’t for Senior Sister Mu’s actions, his soul would have been gone by now. "

I looked at Fatty Zhou and saw him rubbing the back of his head, he smiled embarrassedly

It was precisely because of that incident that Fatty Zhou obeyed Mu Xue's words.

"Open the door." Chenghuang walked to the gate of the city and said loudly.

The ghost guard at the gate looked at him and opened the city.

It's like coming to an ancient city, the surrounding buildings are all from ancient times, and all kinds of ghosts walk around.

According to what Skinny Monkey said, only living people wear masks, and those who don't wear masks are ghosts in the ghost town.

These ghosts are either unable to reincarnate, or they are waiting in the city for the day of reincarnation.

With more and more people, reincarnation also needs to be registered and queued up. It is impossible to be reincarnated immediately after death.

"Trouble a few more, help me send the ghoul another distance." Chenghuang said.

"It's okay." Mu Xue said.

I looked left and right, feeling very curious in my heart, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around non-stop.

Those who wear masks are all onmyojis who do yin and yang things. Some onmyojis are followed by ghosts, and there are many ghost raisers like Mu Xue.

There are also ghosts who kneel on the ground and sell themselves.

Unlike the ancient ones who sold their bodies to bury their fathers, the reason why these ghosts sold themselves was to make offerings.

The life of lonely ghosts is very uncomfortable. Some ghosts do not receive incense and offerings. As time goes by, they have already died before they were reincarnated.

These ghosts who sell themselves are looking for a simple offering.

According to what Shouhou said, the two ghosts behind Mu Xue were sold in the ghost market at first, and they just sold themselves in order to ask for the continuation of the incense offering.

They signed a 20-year contract with Mu Xue, and when the 20-year reincarnation day came, Mu Xue would terminate the contract and let them reincarnate as human beings.

I sighed. I was so tired in life, but I didn't expect that I would still be like this after death.

"Do you want to buy a ghost? I think the little ghost around you is useless at all. If it is cultivated, it will take a lot of effort, and it is not so easy to cultivate a ghost." The thin monkey said to me.

There are quite a few ghosts who sell themselves. Hearing what Shouhou said, they looked at me one by one, and kept saying, "The officials bought me."

Some ghosts hang a sign in front of them, which clearly shows the price of how many years they have practiced, and how much incense they need to eat.

I saw a swordsman holding a sword with the words ghost age 250 years, master of swordsmanship written on it.

However, the conditions for enshrining are frighteningly high, requiring all kinds of nourishing yin substances.

Hearing what Shouhou said, this kendo ghost is very powerful, but the conditions have dissuaded many people.

Some rich onmyojis also come over, this sword ghost still has to look at people, he won't serve those who don't like him.
