"Then what should we do?" Lin Xishi forced his composure and asked.

Since entering the ghost market, her "night vision goggles" effect has disappeared, and the surroundings have returned to the darkness at the beginning, with gusts of wind.

The reason is simple - in the ghost market, there is no difference between day and night.

It's always night here.

Xi Zhaomu looked around, a little worried: "I've only read some fragments in books, so I don't know much about this ghost market." She paused, and then said firmly: "If you encounter something, you must remember not to rush into it. Front. Since I am a senior sister, I will definitely protect you."

Lin Xishi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Take care of yourself first, the most urgent thing is to go out first. If you get too much ghostly energy, you will be in trouble."

Xi Zhaomu nodded, and performed a "breath holding technique" on the two of them, lest the breath be suspected by ghosts and reveal their identities.

She pondered for a while and asked, "Go back, or go forward?"

The walking corpse brigade had long been mixed into the market where fish and dragons were mixed together, and could not be found.The bazaar is brightly lit, but you can't see the beginning and the end.The two of them have been stuck in place, which has already attracted a lot of scrutiny.

Going out is of course going out, but the two of them don't know when they entered the ghost market, and going back may not be the way they came.But relatively speaking, moving forward may also lead them into unknown dangers.

Lin Xishi didn't have to worry about it anymore, because the familiar system prompt sounded in his head.

She casually opened the mission prompt window to check it out.The side missions are still the same, there is no prompt and no mission completion, only a plausible mission goal.

What can be refreshed is naturally the main task: "Looking for people in the ghost city" to find the dead family members of the original owner in the ghost city and learn the characteristics of the murderer.

"In this case, it should be a very important task, and it will be bad if it is not completed." Lin Xishi quickly browsed through the task details, and complained.The system reminded: "The mission target is hundreds of meters away, hurry up."

Without further ado, Lin Xishi said to Xi Chaomu: "Let's go forward."

Xi Zhaomu didn't ask, but just nodded.The two walked forward along the ghost tide.

The further you go in, the more shops there are, the more cloud zshang z small z buildings are, and the thicker the bone layer on the ground is.The two carefully avoided the oncoming ghosts, and tried to walk in the shadows or corners where no one was paying attention.

There is a shop that is particularly lively, it seems to be a wine shop.The two floors are brightly lit, the sound of "ghosts" is loud, and there are a few seductive female ghosts standing at the door, attracting many passing ghosts to take a look or two.

Lin Xishi saw all kinds of ghosts gathered in the wine shop, so she couldn't help but look around curiously.

Most of the ghosts gathered on the first floor, and a man in black sat by the window on the second floor.The man looked indifferent, with two or three silver rings on his knuckle fingers, and he was looking at the ghosts coming and going downstairs leisurely with his chin resting on his chin.Opposite him sat a thin woman, wearing a large cloak, with her head lowered as if she was looking at a scroll, her white hair was scattered randomly, which was particularly conspicuous on the black cloak.

He happened to meet Lin Xishi's gaze looking up, and smiled thoughtfully.

Lin Xishi couldn't help shivering.

The man was smiling everywhere, but there was no smile in his eyes, only the coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow.

After a while, the man turned his eyes away and stopped looking at Lin Xishi.He tapped the table with his fingers, and said to the woman opposite: "There are actually two living people here in this ghost market."

The man's expression was natural, as if the matter had nothing to do with him: "The two little girls are only building foundations, yet they dare to barge in like no one else."

He leisurely picked up the tea in front of him, shook it, and said:

"It's really fun."

The white-haired woman looked at him with pale gray eyes, but said nothing.

.

Those female ghosts at the door saw the two little girls walking to the door. They seemed to be very interested, and hurriedly smiled and greeted them: "The two little sisters, it seems that they have just died, right? You must come to our 'Half Candle Tower' to take a look!"

Xi Zhaomu was stunned, she was not good at lying, she was racking her brains to think about how to deal with it.Lin Xishi sighed inwardly, and went up with a smile: "My good sister, what is this 'Half Candle Tower' used for?"

The female ghost said kindly: "Naturally, it's a restaurant. There were many sorrows in life, and it's time to be happy after death. Come to us and have a glass of wine, and leave the lingering sorrow behind. "

Lin Xishi frowned, and said in a low voice, "So what if we leave it behind? We just want to cut that heartbroken man into pieces. Does my sister know where the exit of this ghost market is?"

The female ghost thought for a while and asked: "Although something is wrong, do the two younger sisters still remember how they died?"

Lin Xishi replied: "Two cups of poisoned wine, I'll go right away."

The female ghost felt a little sympathetic to them, and said: "There are entrances everywhere in this ghost city, but there is only one exit, which is guarded by a thousand-year-old ghost. I'm afraid you have to have a pass or bribe him to go out."

The female ghost looked around, and when no one else was paying attention, she took off a jade bracelet and stuffed it into Lin Xishi's hand, and said in a low voice: "Go to this wine shop and ask, if it doesn't work, give this bracelet to the big ghost. The bracelet is a fine jade, maybe he will accept it and let you pass."

Lin Xishi gratefully accepted the bracelet, and led Xi Zhaomu to the restaurant.

The wine shop was full of ghosts. They drank wine and seemed to be talking about the sudden increase in the number of deaths in the past few days, complaining that these new ghosts had made the ghost market smoky and noisy.

After walking around for a while, the two finally found a small hidden table in the corner and sat down.Xi Zhaomu looked at all kinds of ghosts, feeling a little uncomfortable.Seeing Lin Xishi's calm face, she said enviously, "Junior Sister, you are really amazing."

Lin Xishi blushed a little, she waved her hand and said, "Just call me Xishi."

Xi Zhaomu nodded, and said again: "Xi Shi, you are really amazing."

Lin Xishi said: "No, no, it became a habit to cause trouble when I was young—"

Her words stopped suddenly, and she looked at the table next to her.

Seeing her stunned expression, Xi Zhaomu asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Xishi looked pained, tremblingly held Xi Zhaomu's outstretched hands, lowered his head and murmured: "The people at the table next to me are the voices of my parents."

She looked in a trance: "It's been four years, I didn't expect to see you here..."

Xi Zhaomu looked at her worriedly, and comforted her softly: "...don't be sad." She paused, then said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, but I think it's better for you not to meet them."

Of course Lin Xishi understood the reason.There is an essential difference between the dead and the living.The dead cannot be resurrected, and the living cannot interfere with the afterlife.People in the two worlds are like two straight lines with only one point of intersection, and after the intersection, they gradually drift away at a fixed angle.

Lin Xishi's acting skills continued to improve, she nodded heavily, her eyes were full of misery, as if she was about to shed tears.Xi Zhaomu held her hand tightly, and the two of them were relatively silent.

The words from the table next door came lightly, even if it was diluted by the noise of the wine shop, the two of them could still get a rough idea.

A somewhat airy man's voice said: "...Hey, I don't know how long it has been."

Another female voice was crying: "I still can't let go. Xi Shi's child has been upright and troublesome since she was a child. She and grandma don't know what to do now that we're gone—"

The male voice seemed to be comforting her: "What are you thinking, that child will be fine if he can endure hardship."

He smashed the table angrily, took a sip of wine, and said, "That white-clothed immortal cultivator didn't know why he went crazy, and suddenly killed people violently. Why did we provoke him?!"

The female voice was still crying: "Who knows - if I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have thought of taking shortcuts. Wouldn't it be better to just take the road honestly?"

The male voice lowered and said, "I want to go back earlier!"

The system alert sounds,

"Ding—Keywords: 'White Clothes, Male' is collected. The task is completed, and the completion of the main task will be increased by 15%."

Lin Xishi immediately put on a distressed expression, pulled Xi Zhaomu and walked towards the door: "I'm sorry, I can't listen anymore, let's go."

Xi Zhaomu patted her on the shoulder, and the two walked out of the restaurant together.

The female ghost just now had gone to solicit other guests, and the two of them sneaked away while she was not paying attention, and continued to walk deep into the ghost market.

.

The two went around and asked a lot of ghosts, and finally found the exit guarded by the big ghost.

The big ghost was more than eight feet long, majestically sitting cross-legged on a big rock, with a big knife beside him.The big knife looked extremely sharp, and there were bloodstains on it that had dried up and turned brown.

Three big characters were engraved on the stone on which he sat - "Living Human Way".The three large characters were painted a dazzling bright red with some kind of paint, as if they were dripping blood.

Behind the boulder is a gloomy white forest. Every book is wrapped in white silk cloth. From a distance, it looks like human bones growing out of the ground.The woods were covered with incense ash like snowflakes, and the ground was covered with the burnt remains of paper money.There is a weird trail among the forests, with fireflies growing all over the side, glowing faintly, meandering into the depths of the forest.

Lin Xishi breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally I can go out."

Xi Zhaomu was a little worried: "Can we really fool him?"

Lin Xishi is very confident: "You have to believe in my acting skills."

The two slowly approached the big ghost.Unexpectedly, the big ghost suddenly turned his head as if he had sensed something, stared straight at the two of them, and said with a sinister smile:

"Today is really far away - there are actually two living people!!"

The ghosts nearby also gathered after hearing his roar.

Xi Zhaomu's face changed suddenly, and he whispered: "It's exposed!" She waved her sleeves, muttered in her mouth, and the guqin immediately changed back to its original size.She flipped her hands, and quickly plucked the strings, piercing the big ghost fiercely with streaks of spiritual power.

The big ghost laughed and said: "Little baby, how dare you come to the ghost market with your level? Just let me eat you with peace of mind!" He swung his big knife and easily stopped Xi Zhaomu's attack.

Lin Xishi pulled out the saber from his waist and said nervously, "What should I do?"

Xi Zhaomu concentrated on not answering, she took a deep breath, and the hand that plucked the strings suddenly accelerated, and hundreds of spiritual forces condensed along with the sonorous sound of the piano, and hit the big ghost head-on like a heavy rain.

The big ghost didn't take it seriously, and jumped off the boulder.For this thousand-year-old ghost, this level of attack is not even painful.He didn't even bother to defend, so he let the majestic spiritual power fall on him.

All the spiritual energy fell on him, but the big ghost was still intact.

Xi Zhaomu's face turned pale: "My attack doesn't work against him!"

The big ghost picked up the big knife and rushed straight towards the two of them: "Little baby, I have already let you two moves! Now it's my time!"

Lin Xishi rushed in front of Xi Chaomu, secretly circulated the spiritual power in his body, and blocked the impact with his sword.

The sword body collided with the broadsword, making a loud "dang".Lin Xishi's wrist hurt from the shock, but the big ghost kept saluting, so Lin Xishi had to grit his teeth and hold on.

Just hear a "click".

A crack appeared on the silver-white sword body, and then - it broke from the middle and shattered into countless pieces!

Lin Xishi couldn't dodge in time, and watched the big knife cut from his front door by surprise!

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Xi Zhaomu: Ah, it's rare to see Xishi's family, so I have to hurry up and say hello to my father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Lin Xishi: Hello! !come back to me!

Mysterious man: I just smiled and said nothing.

Grey-eyed woman: This man is crazy.
