Holding the wine glass, Jiang Yan slowly walked towards the dry well. The only lantern was hanging under the crooked tree. The faint red light made the dry well look a little weird.

The old beggar stood aside and looked at him with a smile.

Jiang Yan slowly walked to the dry well and was about to look down, but before that he glanced at the old beggar. After confirming that the other party had no abnormal behavior, he slowly cast his eyes under the dry well.

There was no surprise under the dry well. It was naturally pitch black, but because the lantern was glowing, the reflection of the lantern could be vaguely seen below.

It can be seen that there must be water in the dry well, and this well is not dry.

"Hurry up, young man, pour the cup of longevity wine down, and you will know that I didn't cheat you." The old beggar said excitedly.

Jiang Yan thought about it and felt that what the old beggar said was indeed true. He really kept pouring longevity wine into the dry well before, so there was that kind of black water surface in the well.

But before that, he confirmed it again:

"Can I really get a clone by filling up this dry well?"

The old beggar was not impatient, and patiently persuaded:

"Don't worry, what good will it do you if I cheat you? With your strength, you can kill me at any time, why should I provoke you for no reason."

After hearing his promise, Jiang Yan made up his mind and slowly poured the longevity wine in his hand into the dry well.

The dark and sticky longevity wine, like oil, slowly fell into the dry well, and there was a dull sound of falling into the water, indicating that the longevity wine had indeed entered the dry well and formed a pile.

"Look, look, young man, I didn't lie to you!" The old beggar said excitedly.

Jiang Yan kept silent and shook off the longevity wine in the wine glass. What the old beggar said was indeed right. This longevity wine could indeed be poured into the dry well, but it was not certain whether it would be true in the future. He had to keep a watchful eye.

Seeing that he was convinced, the old beggar couldn't wait to say:

"Hurry up, let's go to the wine shop to get some longevity wine and fill this dry well as soon as possible."

After saying that, the old beggar took trembling steps and continued to move forward along the original path in the dark.

Ren Jing, who was standing by, had just witnessed the whole process. Although what the old beggar said was indeed true, she also felt that something was wrong.

Walking to Jiang Yan, she whispered:

"Be careful, Jiang Yan, I think this old beggar has bad intentions. Although he said that he didn't need to hurt you, why would he help you? And he looks more anxious than you..."

Jiang Yan nodded. What Ren Jing thought about, he naturally thought about too:

"Of course I know that this old beggar is cheating, but now I just don't know where the problem is, but for the method he said, I have to try it anyway..."

After saying that, Jiang Yan stepped forward and quickly caught up with the old beggar.

In his opinion, the old beggar at this moment is just like the ghost jar. He may give a solution to the problem, but it must contain some traps.

But what is better than the ghost jar is that the old beggar will not ask him for a price, at least for now.

With the experience of the previous journey, the two followed the old beggar this time, biting very closely, and finally returned to the ghost market smoothly.

Returning to the dark and silent streets again, they always felt that the ghost market had become much quieter than before. The whole street was quiet, without even a slight sound, only the whimpering sound when the cold wind whistled past.

They couldn't help but feel a chill rising from their spines. This abnormal silence made them feel uneasy and scared. They walked carefully, looking around vigilantly.

The already gloomy streets looked even more weird at this moment. The human consciousness that could be seen occasionally disappeared without a trace at this time. The whole street was empty, which made people feel creepy.

In the "woosh" wind, the blood-red lanterns on the eaves on both sides swayed in the wind, making a heart-pounding sound. Their shaking seemed to have some kind of pattern, but people could not understand the meaning.

The temperature in the street also dropped a lot, as if entering a deeper night. The cold air penetrated the clothes, eroded their bodies, and made their breathing become rapid.

As if aware of the confusion of the two, the old beggar explained to them:

"Now is the curfew time of the ghost market. During this period, the evil ghosts and human consciousness will instinctively stay away from the ghost market, and the evil ghosts in the shops will not come out."

After listening to the old beggar's words, Jiang Yan looked at the lanterns on both sides. Sure enough, the light of the lanterns was more dazzling than before.

The lanterns before couldn't even illuminate the streets, but now they reflected the streets with red light, which did look a bit hideous and weird.

The light of the lanterns became brighter, indicating that the master of the ghost marketThe power became stronger, so the evil spirits and pedestrians would stay away from the ghost market, and the evil spirits in the shops were suppressed more severely.

Soon, they returned to the door of Changsheng Wine Shop.

At this time, the door of Changsheng Wine Shop was also illuminated by lanterns, and even half of the store was illuminated by lanterns, so Jiang Yan could see the scene inside the store clearly.

In the cramped room, dozens of wine jars were piled together, and a black shadow could be vaguely seen between the gaps of the wine jars. That thing was probably the evil spirit of this shop.

"The next step is up to you. Turn off the lanterns, repel the evil spirit, and then move all the Changsheng wine here away, so that the dry well can be filled." The old beggar said solemnly.

Jiang Yan nodded, and he also knew that the next step was the most critical time.

"Ghost bride, turn off the lanterns." He gave the first order.

But the old beggar was suddenly startled and hurriedly said:

"Stop, young man, you must not do that!"

After hearing this, Jiang Yan quickly stopped the ghost bride and looked at the old beggar with doubts.

The old beggar was relieved and hurriedly explained:

"Evil ghosts cannot take lanterns, just like evil ghosts cannot touch wine glasses. As long as they are covered by lanterns, evil ghosts cannot touch the things in the shops, including lanterns, otherwise they will violate the rules of the ghost market."

"As the saying goes, it's easier to do things at night. After the lanterns are extinguished, it won't be too late to drive your evil ghosts..."

After hearing this, Jiang Yan didn't have any problem. Seeing that the lanterns could only be extinguished by himself, he picked up the butcher knife and slowly walked under a lantern...
