Longevity begins with Orion

On a February day, the wind blows in the willows.

Li Yuan leaned against the old tree and stretched his legs in the most comfortable position.

The snow fermented grains were brewed very strongly, which made him a little tipsy.

Thoughts are a little wandering

In this little half a month, he would also think about questions such as "Is this the right choice?" and "Would it be better if he entered the Zhong Mansion directly?" After all, entering the Zhong Mansion is likely to allow him to learn more about it. More information about Ghostland.

But Zhong Mansion is a completely unfamiliar place, and it is also a mysterious mansion full of dangers. It is unbelievable that the skeletons and ghosts actually live together.

There is also a palace master and a group of elders in Zhong Mansion, which shows that hierarchy must exist.

It was a brand new environment, and its level of danger may not be worse than that of a carpenter's shop.

He will not use his face to explore the grass, nor will he jump into an unfamiliar environment so straightforwardly, get involved in the complex interpersonal relationships in that environment, and be used as a pawn, cannon fodder, or anything else.

Unity, friendship, and helping each other are just a lie to children.

The one with more information will always be the one with less information.

He knew nothing, so it was better not to go.

now

The sky warmly shone on him, and along with the sound of wind and Lin Tao, swaying lights of different sizes, like money holes, fell on his wine-stained white robe.

Li Yuan casually inserted the fishing rod into the soil and let the line fall into the water naturally.

The spring water thawed, and fish jumped out of the lake from time to time, flicking their tails in the water and dangling around his fishing line, but they would not take the bait.

A few birds chirped and danced in the trees, then landed on the young man's shoulders, in perfect harmony.

He is trying to establish contact with more birds. Theoretically speaking, he has reached the sixth level of perfection, and the number of birds he can control should increase.

The dragon sword and gun was hidden in his sleeve as always, while a long fine steel knife was inserted into the soil not far away, which he used to scrape fish scales and cut meat.

During this period, horses came from afar. The Blood Knife Sect disciples on horseback dismounted early, then half-knelt behind the white-robed young man to report on the developments in all directions, including those from Huamo County and those from the Central Plains.

After the report, the disciple bowed respectfully, then mounted his horse and drove away.

Originally, the center of power in Shanbao County was in the inner city.

But now, there is an aloof ancestor at this center of power——Li Yuan.

Da da da.

Horses come and go.

The sun rises and sets.

This morning, Li Yuan opened his eyes and stretched out his hands with feeling. Two sparrows landed on his palms, and the connection between the two souls expanded.

This was not over yet, and soon there were two more soul connections connected with the two sparrows on the tree.

"It's done."

"It's done!"

As soon as Li Yuan thought, four sparrows flew around him, then swirled and spread into the distance.

Li Yuan closed his eyes, and all the surrounding scenery was transmitted to his mind through the vision of the four sparrows.

However, he could feel that although the strengthening of his spirit had brought about an increase in the number of controllable birds, from three to seven, it was a big improvement, but perhaps due to the limitations of his skills, he was still able to control only ordinary birds. Kinds, not monsters.

This is destined to mean that his sight range can only be the surrounding area, because ordinary birds cannot fly far, especially sparrows.

After a while, he called Sparrow back, and then gave him a letter when the next Blood Knife Sect disciple who reported the information arrived.

"After returning to the city, thank you for sending me to Baihua Manor."

"Yes, ancestor! It's not hard!"

The letter was written by Li Yuan.

He thought about it for a long time.

He wanted to see his family, but he also wanted a reason.

Now that he had a reason, he wrote the letter.

The letter only said one thing: bring four blackbirds, not in a carriage.

The overall strength of this black bird is "1~3". Although it is not as good as the "2~3" of the white bird and the "3~4" of Haidongqing, it is much better than the "0~1" of ordinary birds. .

He wants to replace the four sparrows with blackbirds, so that he can observe more places.

Naturally, these relatively special birds were collected by Li Yuan when he was at Baihua Manor.

Baihua Manor.

When Lady Yan got the letter, she laughed immediately.

The landlady asked her why she was laughing.

Lady Yan leaned close to her ear and whispered: "My husband finally couldn't stand it any longer."

The landlady also laughed. Her man was very energetic. Before giving birth, she and Madam Yan needed two people to be satisfied. This time, they did not go home because of the "curse of the carpenter's shop", even though it was confirmed by tests. Although he was safe, he still didn't let them go to him. Now, it was hard to find an excuse.

"Are you going to feed him, or should I go?" The proprietress is three years older than Mrs. Yan. She is now twenty-seven years old, and it is the time when her heart is full of youth, but only one of them can go, and the other one has to stay. Take care of children. However, she never mentioned the "curse" and regarded going to see her husband as a great good thing.

Lady Yan said, "I will go tomorrow, and you will go the day after tomorrow."

"this"

"That's it, it's settled." Lady Yan smiled.

"Then" the landlady lowered her eyes slightly, suppressed the urge to sigh, and said with a smile, "My husband must have confirmed that it is safe before letting us go. Sister Yan will go first."

next day

Madam Yan rode her horse, followed by two black marquises, each with two birdcages on their backs, followed by five escorting disciples of the Blood Knife Sect.

These disciples looked at the two hill-like monsters protecting the beautiful woman on the left and right. They were all speechless and incomprehensible, but they also felt very safe.

Soon, the group of people left the city in a "pin" shape.

Madam Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy for her to come out once.

She recalled the scene when she left home.

Xiao Lin pulled her and asked: "Elbow?"

Lady Yan said: "No elbows."

"Elbow! Daddy!" Xiao Lu didn't know where she got the news.

Lady Yan coaxed her for a long time and used new candies to attract attention, and then she successfully kept Xiao Lin at home.

After a while, by the Silver River, the disciples of the Blood Knife Sect dispersed, with the Black Marquis standing guard on the left and right, lying down at the intersection where they came.

Li Yuan successfully broke the spiritual connection with the sparrows, established new connections with the four blackbirds, and controlled the blackbirds to fly to Huamo County.

Huamo County is a dangerous place where you don't know when the explosion will occur. Four blackbirds happened to watch the four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest.

After doing this, he looked at Lady Yan.

Lady Yan is petite and exquisite, with a bulging body tied up in snow-white fur.

Her face is like a porcelain doll. Perhaps because she has done many good deeds and is often called "Bodhisattva", her eyebrows have a mixed feeling of "peace" and "compassion".

She clasped her hands together, leaned against the old tree gracefully, and looked at Li Yuan with a charming look.

Li Yuan also looked at her.

The air is a little quiet.

"did you miss me?"

"think."

"How much do you think?" Lady Yan's Shuixing eyes suddenly glowed. She stretched her long legs, took half a step forward, and sat next to Li Yuan. Without waiting for him to answer the previous question, she said softly, "Here is Don’t stay out in the wild for too long. It would be embarrassing if you were seen.”

Li Yuan said softly: "All the movements around here are in my ears, and no one will see them."

The two were talking when suddenly a few crows flew not far away.

"Gah~~"

"Quack~~"

"Gah~~"

crows cried.

Li Yuan:.

Lady Yan:

In the next moment, like a student who was caught by the teacher while deserting, his appearance changed instantly.

Li Yuan suddenly froze, lying leisurely on the tree, pretending to be watching the scenery.

Lady Yan was sitting upright, flipping her hair on her temples, looking dignified, gentle, and like a good wife and mother.

Three crows flew in front of Li Yuan and Lady Yan, and the numbers on their heads were actually "8~9".

"Daddy~"

"Empress~"

The crow was replaced by Xiaolu's milky voice.

Lady Yan was speechless. If she had known better, she might as well have brought her daughter over.

The two chatted with the crow for a while, and then urged the crow to go home quickly. After the crow flew away, the two hugged quietly like they were stealing from the ground, and arranged flowers and jade for a long time in this open-air environment.

Afterwards, Mrs. Yan quickly adjusted her dress, then leaned on Li Yuan's shoulder and said softly: "Ms. sir, I have been thinking about something for a long time. The more I think about it, the more I feel there is a problem."

"Is it a dream?"

"You know."

"You go ahead and say it."

"It's like this, more than half a month ago, I had a very bizarre dream.

It’s still that dream in the dark room.

I couldn't move, and the white shadow in the window kept looking out the window.

Xiao Lin can move, she walks around the house without fear at all.

But more than half a month ago, there was another person in the dark room.

is a man

The man's back was turned to me, and I couldn't see his face clearly.

but"

Madam Yan suddenly became frightened, "There was a knock on the door outside the house, Xiao Lin wanted to open the door, but she couldn't.

The white figure turned around, her hair covered her face."

"woman."

"The white shadow opened the door, grabbed the man in the room, and came to the door.

And suddenly a burnt hand stretched out from behind the door.

Bai Ying handed the man to the burned hand, and the burned hand handed a white paper to Bai Ying, as if making a deal.

Then, I saw clearly that the man was Brother Xiong. "

The more Mrs. Yan spoke, the more frightened she became. This was originally a nightmare that was pressing deep in her heart. Now that she saw her man, she was finally able to let go of her motherly strength and vent her fear in the man's arms.

"Could that dark room in my dream be the same thing?

Why were Xiaoqi and I in that room? "

This is what Lady Yan is most afraid of. She tried hard to avoid thinking about it, but now she couldn't bear it anymore and said it all.

Li Yuan hugged her tightly and asked, "Do you see that white paper clearly?"

"Um

One penny.

One dollar is written on the white paper. "

Madam Yan widened her pupils in fright and said, "That's money. That ghost sold Brother Xiong in exchange for money."

A penny? !

Li Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he was directly shocked.

He remembered that one cent was equal to ten cents, and one cent was equal to ten cents. Pang Yuanhua also said that few people in the Zhong Mansion had a penny.

For one penny, that’s a lot!

In all likelihood, this amount of money can buy his doll back, and maybe the carpenter ghost will ask him for money.

Is Brother Xiong so valuable?

How did you sell this for a penny?

If it was so easy to make money, he could become a chivalrous hero, capture more of Brother Xiong's past, and become that ghost's source of goods. All he needed was a 20-30% share.

Li Yuan remembered that the vendors were shouting "a few cents, a few cents".

These thoughts flashed by, Li Yuan suppressed them for a moment, and then started thinking again.

The ghosts in the ghost realm should have nothing to do with resentment. This is confirmed by Mr. Ding, Gu Xiang, and Pang Yuanhua. This should be the common understanding in the Central Plains.

However, the ghost realm will be related to a certain person or the obsession of some people, such as the carpenter ghost and Shen Jiliang.

The carpenter ghost should not be Shen Jiliang, but it has the characteristics of Shen Jiliang. Even the method of killing is related to Shen Jiliang, and the ghost domain is Shen Jiliang's carpenter shop.

So, based on this idea, are the ghosts in the black market ghost domain also related to a certain person's past obsession?

The characteristics of this ghost are:

One, don’t kill people with the surname Yan;

Second, the ghost domain is probably an iron cage where live goods are loaded into the black market;

Third, sell people, and the first one to sell is Brother Xiong.

Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully, but immediately hugged his wife tightly, without saying anything else, he just comforted her with a gentle voice, and then asked: "Did you feel anything unusual?"

Lady Yan thought about it carefully, shook her head and said, "No, everything is normal."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "That's because you are overthinking it. What the hell is that?"

Mrs. Yan was surprised and said: "But... it's really weird."

Li Yuandao: "I am a person who has seen ghosts, and I still have a ghost curse on me. Do you know it, or do I know it?"

Lady Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I am the one who made the fuss."

Li Yuan smiled again and said: "Maybe it's really a ghost? Don't let Xiao Yan get the paper money on the table. Maybe the ghost will come out as soon as you take it!"

Madam Yan was so frightened that she lost her soul and hugged him tightly. But when she looked up again and saw the evil smile on her man's face, she realized that he was lying, so she hit him on the arm. Jiao said angrily: "I hate it."

The two of them talked to each other for a while and then parted.

Li Yuan looked at his wife's retreating figure, his pupils narrowed slightly.

He has already determined that it is the ghost realm.

It is also a terrifying dreamland.

But he also had a bigger guess that needed to be confirmed.

But no matter whether this guess can be confirmed or not, he will not tell the truth to Madam Yan for the time being, because once Madam Yan knows the truth, she will probably try her best to get the "one dollar" on the table, even if she can't move it, She will also think of ways to let Xiao Lin get it.

Because of her man, Xiaolu's father needs this "money" to lift the curse.

Li Yuan couldn't imagine what would happen then.

However, if you steal money from ghosts, the consequences may not be too good.

That's why he said that.

far away

Lady Yan sat astride the horse, her eyes slightly lowered.

She knows her husband well, very well

Fair enough, you wouldn't make that kind of joke.

Since it was opened, it meant that it was not a joke, but a reminder that he didn't want her to know, but he didn't want her to touch it.

"So. Is it really a ghost?"

Lady Yan was so frightened that she shivered.

But soon, she became confused again.

Why didn't the ghost hurt her? Are you waiting for a price? Are you ready to wait for a good buyer and then sell her for a big price?

But she had dreamed about that ghost a long time ago.

She had been in that haunted house for more than two years, but she still felt no malice.

Moreover, my own Xiaolin can also go to that house together.

Brother Xiong

Don’t kill Yan

sold

There was also the room with iron bars, like a cage containing live goods and covered with black cloth.

A look of thought flashed in Madam Yan's eyes.

"And that one coin. My husband cares about it very much, but he deliberately lied to me like that. He didn't let Xiao Lin get it because he was worried that something would happen to Xiao Lin and me." Lady Yan thought more deeply.

"My husband needs that money."

"But I can't act rashly, and I can't let Xiao Yan know."

The next day, the Blood Knife Sect began a rapid investigation.

Two days later, information was delivered to Li Yuan one by one.

At the Fulin Chamber of Commerce, a handyman named Xiao Luzi was cooked outside the shop, but there were no signs of burning on his clothes and the surrounding tents. This seemed to match the burnt ghost hand.

Xiaoluzi was brought by Fulin Chamber of Commerce from Tiannan County.

brush.

Li Yuan shook a painting. Although the man in the painting had a beard, he could tell that it was Brother Xiong.

The young man squinted his eyes, rolled up the picture and put it aside, and continued to pick up the next pile of information.

This is a record of the black market transaction list, which naturally contains live goods.

Although the live goods will not indicate the name of the live goods, they will roughly write down the rough source of the live goods.

He flipped through it quickly, his eyes scanning one page after another, and finally slowly stopped on a certain page.

There is writing on the page

In the winter two years ago, there was a batch of live goods from General Qingxiang's village, which was picked up by the Ya people at that time.

The information seems to be correct.

"Feng'er."

"This ghost is Feng'er, or in other words, it is not Feng'er, but is related to the many resentments in the black market, but it mainly inherited Feng'er's obsession."

Li Yuan thought for a long time, but finally gave up the idea of ​​letting his wife test it.

If something happens to him, his shadow blood can explode. If something happens to his wife, it will be gone.

The streets of Yinxifang on a new day.

The carriage from Baihua Manor was driving slowly down the street, and there were servants from the Blood Knife Gate patrolling the neighborhood.

In addition to the handymen, there were also disciples who passed by

The carriage suddenly stopped beside a female disciple.

The female disciple's name is Yue Ling, and she is an outer disciple who once followed Li Yuan, but now she is an inner disciple, and her strength has reached the eighth level.

The car curtain opened, revealing the face of a beautiful woman.

"Yue Ling."

Yue Ling turned his head, saluted hurriedly, and said, "Grandma Yan."

It was Yan Yu who was sitting in the car. She waved and said with a smile: "Come on, I'll take you for a ride."

Yue Ling was stunned for a moment, but still got in the car.

Yan Yu exchanged some pleasantries and then said with a smile: "Miss Yue, my husband-in-law said that the information recently checked is not enough, so he asked me to ask if there is more."

Yue Ling smiled and said: "Then let Ancestor rest assured that we have found the witnesses of Fulin Chamber of Commerce and will send them to Ancestor when the time comes.

As for the women in General Qingxiang's village who were taken away by the Ya people, we are trying our best to identify their identities. After all, the Ya people sometimes ask people to draw portraits of live animals, and then send these portraits to potential guests' homes. .

We are checking each house one by one, and we should have news soon. I hope those people haven’t thrown away the portraits yet.

In addition to these, we also sent people to Tiannan County to investigate the handyman named Xiao Luzi. "

"Little Luzi"

Xiao Luzi.

Lu Ergou.

Brother Xiong

Lines of information flashed through Yan Yu's mind.

Yue Ling didn't notice anything strange, but said: "Don't worry, Grandma Yan, our ancestor is now the god of our Shanbao County, and we will definitely do our best to do what the god ordered us to do today."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Yan Yu smiled, then took a delicate small box from the side and handed it over, "The restaurant has trial-produced some halva, which is used to go with wine, but it tastes good on its own. "

"Sugar? But Hengwu Restaurant doesn't sell it."

"It will be a few days before it goes on sale."

Yan Yu smiled and put the candy into Yue Ling's hand, "Take it."

Yue Ling didn't dare to refuse, and there was no need to refuse the gift of Sutang, which showed closeness and could give him face but was not expensive, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Grandma Yan."

At the beginning, she thought that Mrs. Ancestor was a village girl, but over the years, anyone with eyes would see that she was not a village girl.

Intellectual, generous, decent, compassionate, with an excellent reputation, there are almost no flaws except that he is not a warrior.

After Yue Ling got out of the car, Madam Yan shouted softly: "Old Zhou, go to the shantytown."

The wheels of the carriage turned and slowly stopped in the shed area.

squeak.

Ga.

The door opened, and dust was everywhere in the dilapidated house. Madam Yan glanced at the carriage behind her, then looked away, then took a deep breath and entered the inner hall.

On the table, two years' worth of letters and large sums of money were still placed in their original positions, untouched.

Lady Yan looked at the letter and suddenly felt calmer.

She turned around and gently closed the door to the main room.

Inside the door, it suddenly became much darker and quieter. At the end of the line of sight, there was only a ray of light falling from the crack of the door, shining on Lady Yan and the gray-stained bronze mirror not far away.

"Xiao Lin, I can see you, right?"

A word without beginning or end suddenly came out of the beautiful woman's mouth.

In such a dead and cramped hut, it seemed a bit breathtaking.

But the beautiful woman suddenly stood up, walked to the mirror step by step, and said softly: "I brought Xiaolu here that day, and Xiaolu stretched out her hands here. She wanted you to hug her, right?"

"The room I always see in my dreams is actually a cage covered with black cloth. You want to see me, right?"

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have let you go that day. If you stayed with us, you would still have a good life."

The beautiful woman's voice was gentle. She came to the bronze mirror, leaned over, breathed lightly, wiped the dust off the bronze mirror with her sleeves, and then said: "My silly sister, in fact, you have always been by my side. Is it right?"

no answer.

It's like a lonely babble.

The beautiful woman was not in a hurry, grabbed the comb from the side, gently brushed away the withered hair, and said: "Feng'er, come out and see me."

As the words fell, the old-fashioned bronze mirror suddenly became blurry, as if the texture of the water waves had been disrupted. When it calmed down again, a pale woman's face full of cracks slowly appeared on it.

The woman's eyes were bleeding, and there were strange movements in the cracks. Every movement was a pale female ghost crawling.

And these many pale female ghosts together form a face

That face was exactly Feng'er's face.

Mrs. Yan felt her heart skip a beat, and she was about to have a heart attack at that moment. Goosebumps arose densely with the cold air, but she still smiled, opened her eyes wide, and looked at the female ghost in the mirror quietly. Then he said softly in the tone of talking to his sister: "Long time no see."

"Sister Xue, please help me take care of Xiao Qi these days. Ahem, cough, cough."

"Ahem."

"Am I sick? Ahem, Xiaolin and I will also be sick."

Lady Yan coughed.

The landlady asked with concern: "Sister Yan, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just a little cold. It'll be fine in a few days. I just have to work hard for you." Lady Yan was very gentle.

The landlady smiled and said, "It's not hard work. My boy is too annoying, so your girl is better. I want to trade with you."

"No need to change, you are also Xiaolin's mother." Lady Yan smiled, "Okay, I'll thank you for the hard work."

The two women talked for a while.

Mrs. Yan entered the room early. While it was still dark and Xiao Lin was definitely not asleep, she took a dose of the sleeping pill prescribed by the doctor, then quickly closed her eyes and quickly fell into dreamland.

Today went very smoothly, she appeared directly in the black cabin in the dreamland, unable to speak, move, or even move her eyes.

But her heart was screaming.

"Feng'er, I want to be able to move! I want to be able to talk!"

"If your obsession is me, then untie me!"

The next moment, she was suddenly able to move.

She walked to the window and called softly: "Feng'er."

But the white shadow didn't respond.

Lady Yan continued to chatter, but Bai Ying still didn't respond at all.

After a long time, Lady Yan looked at the mysterious piece of white paper money on the table and said, "I want that money."

Bai Ying still didn't respond, didn't even move.

Lady Yan gritted her teeth and slowly walked to the table.

She didn't want Xiao Lin to know, because she was worried that Xiao Lin was a little devil, and her husband was now under the "evil ghost curse". He must have needed this ghost money, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a flash in his eyes at that time. A moment of shock.

Others can't see it, but they are an old married couple.

Who doesn’t know who yet?

And women will always be more careful than men.

Lady Yan slowly stretched out her hand, and many memories flashed through her mind. As her hand got closer and closer to the piece of paper money, she felt a cold, creepy, mortal, and terrible premonition like a needle prick. .

And this seems to trigger some rules.

Yeah.

Giggle.

Bai Ying suddenly moved, his head lowered, his black hair covering his pale face full of cracks, and his whole body made a strange sound of bones breaking. Then he walked to the table, picked up the piece of paper money before Lady Yan, and then Put it on Lady Yan's hand.

In an instant, all those terrible feelings disappeared.

It seemed that the money could never be taken by oneself, but it could be handed over to her through Bai Ying's hand.

Two days later, Lady Yan recovered from her illness. She hurriedly led Heihou through the North City Gate, through the not-so-long wilderness, and arrived at the bank of Yinxi River outside Shanbao County.

The grass is green, the flowers are red, and the willows are hazy.

Heihou lay guarding the entrance.

Lady Yan came to Li Yuan.

"I heard you caught a cold." Li Yuan was a little worried.

Lady Yan put her hands on her hips and said, "Okay! I'm in high spirits."

After she said that, she sat down, leaned on Li Yuan's shoulder, looked at the glittering luster on the lake quietly, and said: "It has only been more than four years, but a lot of things have happened to them. They say you are actually an old monster, but I know you are still you. The men in my family are the most useful."

She gently rubbed the boy's hand.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "What's wrong? Are you so sensational today?"

Lady Yan closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then smiled, "It's okay. Isn't it normal for women to say these things? You have brought me so much life that I never imagined, and I always want to do it for you." What is it?”

"What are you talking about?"

"Just saying."

The couple whispered again for a while before parting.

In the spring breeze, a beautiful woman who was not even a ninth-grade woman, accompanied by demon dogs, rode away on horseback, riding away from the dust.

Li Yuan suddenly felt something and touched his pocket.

In his pocket, there is a piece of white paper money that exudes a mysterious atmosphere.

It says: 1 money.

And when he got the money, he felt that his information had changed.

After taking a quick glance, I saw that the original "[Equipment Slot: Not Unlocked]" changed to "[Equipment Slot: 1 Money]".

At the same time, the money disappeared from his hand.

But as soon as Li Yuan thought about it, he took out the money again.

Apparently, this is real ghost money.

Li Yuan looked shocked and wanted to chase her, took off her pants, beat her severely, and then asked her why she was so disobedient.

At this moment, he also understood why Lady Yan was sick, because when she got sick, she could leave Xiao Lin and go get the money alone.

Li Yuan held on to the ghost money.

Now is not the time to be pretentious. Now that he has money, he will get rid of the curse as soon as possible, so that he can go home and teach the disobedient Lady Yan a lesson.

The young man stood up immediately, put on the mask and cloak in the bag beside him, and added "fattening" rags at the same time, and then walked away, going around and around, choosing narrow paths.

After walking in and out frequently, about half an hour later, he stepped into the mysterious ancient street.

On the bluestone road, ancient buildings, smiling vendors are still selling, and there are dark shadows hiding in the deep alleys. Not far away, it seems that new people have wandered in here, looking around curiously.

Li Yuan pulled his cloak and walked quickly deeper into the road.

The road gradually narrowed and there were fewer and fewer people. The shops on both sides were of various colors. The products were clearly marked with prices, but there were no people watching the shops. It seemed that they were not afraid of someone breaking into the shops and robbing them.

Li Yuan quickly scanned these shops.

Now, there is one last thing that has not been verified, and that is whether you can really buy back your puppet if you give the money.

However, this matter has actually been verified from two sides.

One is the hawkers. Those ghosts do charge money for goods, and they charge as much as the goods are worth. If they charge too much, they will give change.

The second is a dream. The black market ghost sold Brother Xiong and received a sum of money. This is also a transaction model.

Li Yuan walked around but still didn't find the carpenter's shop.

After being stopped by the man in blue selling "Fantastic Beasts Garden", Li Yuan pretended not to see him, and then quickly chose to return.

When he returned to the exit, he felt a chill all over his body, so he did not go in again, but left the ancient street, preparing to try again the next day.

In a blink of an eye, eight or nine days passed.

In the past eight or nine days, Li Yuan went shopping in the ancient streets every day. During this period, he also saw people entering and walking out of the store, which made him feel more at ease.

On the tenth day, he entered the shop area of ​​the ancient street. Not long after leaving, he saw a house full of wood rolls and sawdust. The door was open, and there was no one inside. The blood-red wooden frame It is particularly conspicuous, and there are various small figures on it.

The stove next to the wooden frame was burning brightly, and there was a "crackling" sound coming from inside.

Li Yuan paused, scanned the surroundings, and quickly walked in.

Take the first step and it's okay.

Step two, it’s okay.

He came to the wooden frame and quickly found a wooden doll that was almost identical to him.

Take a look at the price: 5 points.

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, took out 1 dollar, placed it gently on the wooden stand, and then picked up the wooden doll.

Suddenly, he felt a cold and cold breath dissipating rapidly in his body. At the same time, the "1 cent" disappeared, and there were three more banknotes on the table: "3 cents", "1 cent", and "1 cent".

At the same time, the information in his "[Equipment Slot]" changed:

[Equipment 1: 3 points, 1 point, 1 point]

[Equipment 2: Li Yuan’s wooden doll]

Now that he had finished buying, he wanted to evacuate quickly, but before evacuating, he glanced at the wooden frame again.

But he didn't see Pang Yuanhua's doll on the shelf.

Feeling doubtful, his eyes suddenly moved, and he saw the doll burning in the furnace.

For a moment, Li Yuan's pupils tightened.

The doll's legs had been burned off, but its upper body looked like Pang Yuanhua's.

And the price on it is shrinking rapidly.

1 point.

9 centimeters.

8 centimeters.

Just when it became 7 centimeters, Li Yuan made up his mind.

He took out 1 cent of ghost money, pointed at the doll in the stove and said, "I bought this doll."

As soon as the words fell, it seemed that some kind of deal had been concluded.

Behind the blood-red wooden frame, half of a pale, numb, and terrifying face poked out, and the owner of that face reached into the stove, took out the half-burned puppet, and handed it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan handed the 1 cent of ghost money to the hand.

After a while, the hand handed back a piece of ghost money marked "3 cents".

Li Yuan's equipment information is regenerated and changed.

He stopped staying and quickly left the place, then returned the same way and left the ancient street.

After going out, he took a deep breath, then quickly walked into a "door" made of branches with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Nothing happens.

He quickly returned to Shanbao County and passed the city gate, but nothing happened.

"The curse is really lifted!!"

Li Yuan was extremely happy.

But in the next moment, his thoughts moved slightly and he came to the door of the martial arts shop.

The door was closed, so he raised his hand and pushed it open.

When the door opened, a group of servants in the room saw the people outside the door. They stood up quickly and recited "Old Ancestor" respectfully.

Li Yuan closed the door again, feeling a mysterious feeling in his heart.

Taking out "Li Yuan's wooden doll", his mind moved slightly, and a cold breath emerged from the doll and quickly wrapped around his hand. He opened the door again.

Behind the door, there was a "clang" sound of chiseling, and the strange carpenter seemed to be aware of it. He turned his head slightly and looked at the door full of malice and resentment.

Bang!

Li Yuan felt horrified and hurriedly closed the door.

The next moment, he put away the puppet and opened the door again. Behind the door, he turned into a handyman again.

The handymen stood up again, laughed again, and continued to respectfully call "ancestor".

Li Yuan closed the door for the third time.

The handymen behind the house were completely confused.

But Li Yuan understood

When he redeemed his wooden doll, he also mastered a special power, a strange power that only humans can have.

He can open the door.

Behind the door is the carpenter's shop.

Then, he tried Pang Yuanhua's wooden doll, but it was of no use. It was obvious that the doll did not belong to him.
