In a secluded corner of Antique Street.
"Jingle Bell… "
"Buzzing..."
It was the first time that Chen Yu saw the compass vibrating so happily, and the boy on the opposite side looked at the bell in his hand with surprise.
"They... know?" Chen Yu doubted.
"I don't know." Lu Ning shook his head and said, "Just on the road, the soul-calling bell suddenly rang. I thought it sensed the evil spirit on you. But now it seems that it sensed you. The compass."
"Hunming bell?" Chen Yu hesitated and asked, "Can you show it to me?"
"No!" Before Lu Ning could speak, Yan Xin on the side refused for Lu Ning. "Brother Lu Ning, you can't give her the soul-calling bell. My grandfather's compass was destroyed by her."
Lu Ning looked at Yan Xin in disbelief. Grandpa Yan's compass was so powerful that it was so easy to be broken.
"If you don't believe me, ask my brother." Yan Xin pulled out her eldest brother to testify.
Yan Wei hesitated and said, "The compass really broke after being taken back from this fellow Taoist."
"I said you two brothers and sisters are endless, right." Chen Yu suddenly became angry. "If you are really unwilling, let's go to the police. If the police say that I broke it, I will pay you."
"How can you go to the police for things in the metaphysical world?" When she talked about finding the police, Yan Xin remembered that she was almost taken to the police station as a robber, and her face turned pale. of."
"Did the elementary school teacher teach you? Ask the police if you have something to do." Chen Yu mocked.
"you… "
"Don't quarrel." Lu Ning could see that the two of them had a holiday, but he himself was curious about the resonance of the soul-calling bell and the compass. Moreover, in the large crowd, Chen Yu couldn't do anything to his soul-calling bell, so he handed the soul-calling bell to Chen Yu very generously.
"Give you."
Chen Yu raised his eyes in amazement. Obviously, he didn't expect that the other party would be able to lend the magical artifacts to him generously when his friends tried to stop him. He immediately felt a little more fond of the boy: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Lu Ning smiled slightly, with two shallow dimples rising from the corners of his mouth.
"Brother Lu Ning..." Yan Xin yelled disapprovingly when he saw that Lu Ning had really given Chen Yu the soul-calling bell.
"It's okay." Lu Ning gave Yan Xin a soothing smile. Seeing the teenager's smile, Yan Xin, who had just been dissatisfied, calmed down instantly.
When Yan Wei saw this scene, he couldn't help shaking his head again. Lu Ning obviously regarded Xin'er as his sister, but his sister didn't think so.
Chen Yu has a compass in one hand and a soul-calling bell. For some reason, she always feels that the breath of the soul-calling bell is very familiar, as if she should be able to use this magical weapon.
"You... Ah... I'm sorry, my name is Chen Yu, Er Dong Chen, a carp leaping over the dragon gate, what is your name?" Chen Yu felt that the boy was generous and refreshing, so he was more polite when speaking.
"Lu Ning, land, sea and air, peaceful Ning." Lu Ning introduced himself.
"Friend Lu Dao." Chen Yu shook the soul-calling bell in his hand and asked, "Can you tell me the function and origin of this magical artifact?"
Lu Ning nodded and said, "The soul-recalling bell is a magic weapon left to me by my grandmother. Its main function is to call-up the soul. A ghost under 300 years of history will unconsciously lose consciousness and lose combat effectiveness when it hears the bell."
"How many ghosts can one ringtone control?" Chen Yu asked aloud.
"My cultivation base is limited, at most three or five at a time. If the Taoism is a 300-year-old ghost, at most two at a time." Lu Ning replied.
"That's it..." Chen Yu nodded thoughtfully. She raised the bell again. A gust of wind blew the bell and the bell shook a few times, but there was no ringing. There is nothing strange about Chen Yu in such an abnormal scene, and she even vaguely feels that the power of the soul-calling bell is far less than this.
"Return it to you, thank you." Chen Yu didn't understand why he... understood this magical artifact.
"You're welcome." Lu Ning tied the soul-calling bell to his waist again.
"My compass was left to me by my grandfather. Maybe my grandfather and your grandma knew each other when they were young, so they also knew these two artifacts." Chen Yu guessed, "My grandfather's name is Wu Li, you listen to your grandma's mention Ever?"
Lu Ning shook his head and replied, "I haven't seen my grandma. She died before I was born."
"Uh..." Chen Yu didn't expect to hear such an answer, and was immediately embarrassed not to know what to do.
"It's okay." Seeing Chen Yu's awkward expression, Lu Ning couldn't help smiling. It is understandable for this kind of expression to appear on ordinary people, but the celestial master knows that after death, people just go to the underworld to reincarnate. Therefore, the celestial master is not as sentimental as ordinary people for the death of relatives.
"Ding!"
At this moment, the phone in Chen Yu's bag suddenly rang, and Chen Yu took a look, his embarrassing expression instantly became happy.
Third brother: (I will go back to Pingcheng in the afternoon and have dinner together in the evening.)
The third brother is coming back! Chen Yu was so happy that she was completely out of curiosity about the origin of the soul-calling bell. She waved to the young boy in front of her and said, "I have to leave beforehand. Goodbye."
After finishing speaking, Chen Yu didn't wait for the other's reaction, turned around and ran away, leaving Lu Ning with a surprised look.
Chen Yu spent the whole afternoon taking a shower, washing her hair, and changing into a nice new dress. If she didn't know how to make-up, she might be able to put on a light make-up or something.
Because of Lou Ming's physical characteristics, he needs to avoid contact with people, so what he calls Huipingcheng is actually just arriving in a private house on the outskirts of Pingcheng, rather than actually entering the city.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, just after the day was dark, Chen Yu was sitting in the living room of the private house, looking straight out through the window.
After a while, the lights of the jeep shining into the yard, and then three jeeps stopped outside the yard. Chen Yu, against the dazzling lights, locked Lou Ming's figure at a glance, and happily ran out of the door to welcome him. Go up: "Three brothers!"
Chen Yu ran to Lou Ming at once.
"Have you waited for a long time?" Lou Ming saw Chen Yu's smiling face, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"Well, it's been a long time. I have waited for three days." Chen Yu knows the calculations. He hasn't seen the third brother for three days. The TV said that one day is like three autumns, and this rounding is ten years. Now, you can give birth to a baby in ten years.
"Sorry, not next time." Seeing Chen Yu's words seriously, Lou Ming couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought she was bored.
"You said it." Chen Yu remembered this sentence.
"I said." Lou Ming promised with a smile.
"Hehe..." Chen Yu smiled triumphantly, as if he had taken a huge advantage.
Speaking of taking advantage, Chen Yu's gaze fell unconsciously on Lou Ming's lips, and then... A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Yu's eyes, "Brother, why do you seem to be thin?"
Yes, although it is not very obvious, Lou Ming's outline has become more distinct, and his lips have lost a trace of blood.
Lou Ming froze, and then smiled nonchalantly: "I have been too busy these days to have a good meal."
"Then let's go eat now. Assistant He has prepared a lot of delicious food." When Chen Yu heard Lou Ming hadn't eaten well, he ran into the house while pulling Lou Ming, completely forgetting Master Mao and Minister Lou standing behind. .
Master Mao and Lou Xincheng stood aside and witnessed the interaction between the two. Master Mao is okay, I've seen it before, but Lou Xincheng is different. It was the first time for Lou Ming to have such a side. No, if it was the first time in the hospital, then it was the second time.
Both times I treated the same person, and both times were Lou Ming that I had never seen before.
Minister Lou unconsciously remembered that a few months ago, his wife called him and told him that he had found a girl with a very good life to be a wife for Lou Ming. What the wife said at the time, as if to say, Lou Ming always stayed alone in the small building, in fact, he desperately yearned for the warmth of the family in his heart. In order to see the gurgling, he even ventured to suppress the evil spirits and returned home with the Suppressing Talisman.
Lou Ming’s evil spirits will affect his life. Minister Lou has never told his wife, so when his wife is Lou Ming’s colorless wife, although Minister Lou does not agree with him, he is not easy to oppose. At the same time, it was also because he knew Lou Ming would definitely not agree, so he didn't deliberately block his wife.
But if... If you can find someone who can make Lou Ming always have a relaxed and comfortable look like just now, Director Lou thinks that he suddenly understands his wife.
"Lou Ming and her have always been together like this?" Minister Lou has collected a lot of information about Chen Yu in the past two days, including her being trafficked since she was a child, and then brought back by Chen Yang from Qingmu Province, and sneaked in on the first day. After I got out of the small courtyard, I often climbed the wall in the middle of the night to find my son's affairs.
And... Chen Yu is the only one who is not afraid of Lou Ming's evil spirits.
"Chen Yu is the only person who is not affected by Lou Ming's evil spirits, and is the only person who can get along with Lou Ming without scruples, so Chen Yu is very special to Lou Ming." Master Mao replied.
"Lou Ming likes to be with her." Minister Lou seemed to be asking others, and he seemed to be asking and answering himself.
The dinner was eaten by four people. Chen Yu's appetite was very good. Seeing that her food was delicious, the others on the table unconsciously ate two more mouthfuls.
Chen Yu not only ate it by herself, but also put a lot of dishes that she thought was delicious in Lou Ming's bowl. Lou Ming only smiled faintly when he saw it, and then ate all that was not left.
"Brother, when will we return to the imperial capital?" Chen Yu suddenly asked.
"Homesick?" Lou Ming asked.
"My brother called me and asked me when to go back." Chen Yu explained.
"It was originally planned to fly tonight, but the weather forecast said that the emperor will have thunderstorms, and it may not be able to land after flying past, so it may not be able to go back tomorrow." Lou Ming said.
"That's it." Chen Yu poked the bowl with his chopsticks, her eyes rolling sharply.
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Yu's eyes were so obvious that it was difficult for Lou Ming to ignore it.
"I... I'm thinking about things tonight." Chen Yu lowered his eyes with a guilty conscience, and definitely couldn't let the third brother find that he was thinking whether he ran into the third brother's room to confess tonight, or whether to confess after returning to the imperial capital.
"At night?" Lou Ming said in surprise, "Do you have anything to do at night?"
"what… "
"Does Chen Xiaoyou want to participate in the ghost market?" Master Mao suddenly remembered that Yan Chongming and him had mentioned the ghost market tonight, so he guessed.
"Yes!" Chen Yu glanced at Master Mao gratefully, she was making excuses.
"Ghost market?" Minister Lou looked at Master Mao curiously, "It's... the legendary ghost market where ghosts gather?"
"Yes." Master Mao explained, "The average ghost market is after July and a half. Because the ghost gate is opened, the ghosts of all levels of the underworld will return to the Yangjian, just like the human temple fair. At first, some of them were not visible to their relatives. The ghosts of ghosts traded together, and gradually developed a ghost market. But the ghost market in Pingcheng this time is different from the one in July and a half. This time the ghost market gathers some lone ghosts who cannot be reborn, and practice Successful spirits come to participate."
"Can the celestial master also participate in this kind of ghost market organized by lonely ghosts and wild ghosts?" Lou Ming frowned and asked, are ghosts and celestial masters not natural enemies
"The celestial master only catches threatening ghosts, and ordinary ghosts will not take care of them." Master Mao explained, "Moreover, there must be someone behind a ghost market like this. Both sides have a tacit understanding and will not do anything in the ghost market. ."
"Who is hosting this ghost market?" Chen Yu asked curiously.
"I heard that it is a Huang Daxian who has practiced for 500 years in the mountains." Master Mao said with a smile. In fact, the real big boss should be Yan Chongming. If Yan Chongming hadn't acquiesced, how dare a 500-year weasel dare to be arrogant.
"Brother... I haven't been to a ghost market for several years, and I can't fly tonight anyway. Why don't we go and see?" Chen Yu suggested.
"Go, I have evil spirits, and it will affect those ghosts." Lou Ming said.
"With me, I'll help you seal it." If he could take the opportunity to take advantage of it, Chen Yu's eyes immediately locked on Lou Ming's lips.
"Yes, you can draw the evil talisman." Lou Ming's eyes lit up.
Zhen... Zhen Sha Fu...
Chen Yu suddenly discovered that the Zhensha Talisman was really annoying. Who invented it
The location of the ghost market happened to be in the suburbs, so it didn't take long for the two to pass by, and it only took ten minutes to arrive. Lou Ming participated in the ghost market for the first time, and the feeling of watching those strange ghosts squatting on the ground and setting up a stall was very strange.
"What are they selling?" Lou Ming asked, pointing to a ghost with a few green grass on it. The ghost was empty in front of him, and there was nothing.
"That's a drowning ghost, he sells the water weeds on his body." Chen Yu said.
"Can you sell aquatic plants?" Lou Ming asked in surprise.
"He is lucky, and the place where he fell is heavier, so he is wrapped in nine-yin grass. For ordinary ghosts, nine-yin grass has the effect of replenishing yin and stabilizing the soul body, and is used to replenish the body of humans. The ginseng is similar." Chen Yu explained.
Is it good luck to be a drowned
"Is that just a hanged ghost?" Lou Ming asked, pointing to a female ghost whose tongue was almost dragging to the ground.
"That's right." Chen Yu glanced at the things in front of the hanged ghost and said, "She sells a hairpin, which should be something from her life. She has a lot of grievances and is a good tool for curses."
"Can this thing be sold too?" Lou Ming frowned when he heard that the hairpin was a cursing artifact.
"Third brother, this is a ghost market, and the things sold are basically not good for living people." Chen Yu whispered in Lou Ming's ear.
Lou Ming's ears were itchy, and he couldn't help hiding behind him.
"Three brothers, let's go ahead and take a look. There are some spirits in front of them, and they usually sell some interesting things." Chen Yu also felt that these weird things were really not suitable for the two to see when they were dating.
That's right, this is the first time Chen Yu has come out to play alone after realizing that he likes the third brother, isn't it just dating.
"Buzzing..."
"Jingle Bell… "
Only when he walked to the stall of Jingwei, the compass in Chen Yu's bag vibrated again, and then a familiar bell rang at the same time.
As soon as the bell rang, the ghosts in the ghost market all raised their heads and looked for the location of the bell. Lu Ning quickly pressed the soul-calling bell on his waist to stop it ringing.
"Buzzing..."
"Jingle Bell… "
As if responding to the compass, the soul-calling bell rang again.
"My fellow Taoist, since you have come to the ghost market, you should abide by the rules." A weasel dressed in khaki clothes walked up to Lu Ning and warned in a bad tone.
"Sorry, I will quiet it down right away." Lu Ning quickly apologized.
Chen Yu naturally noticed the commotion of the ghost. She glanced at the familiar teenager not far away, raised her hand and patted the compass: "Quiet."
The compass was obediently quiet, and the ringing of the soul-calling bell stopped in an instant.
Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. After apologizing to Huang Daxian again, he turned to meet Chen Yu's gaze.
"Friend Chen Dao? I said why the soul-calling bell suddenly rang. It turned out that I met you again." Lu Ning was still very happy to meet an acquaintance in the ghost market.
"I caused trouble for you, sorry." Chen Yu naturally apologized for the trouble caused by Compass.
"It's okay, you didn't mean it." The boy smiled brightly, and the small dimples appeared again, even in the gloomy ghost city, he looked alive.
"What are you here to buy?" Chen Yu asked curiously.
"Taishan Stone." Lu Ning replied.
"Taishan stone? Is there a Taishan stone here?" Taishan stone is the most commonly used thing in metaphysics to suppress evil. Taishan stone has a natural anti-evil effect. It is not very powerful, but it has the characteristic of not invading evil. Therefore, the longer the Taishan Stone stays in the land of the evil, the better the effect will be. The Taishan Stone, which is usually seen by celestial masters, must have at least hundreds of years of experience in the erosion of the evil spirits.
"Grandpa Yan said it will be here, so I came to look for it with Yan Xin and Yan Wei."
"They're here too?" Chen Yu has no affection for the Yan family brothers and sisters. In addition, every time he meets Yan Xin, he has to fight each other. Chen Yu and Lou Ming rarely go out on a date today, but don't want to be upset, so Turned around and planned to take the third brother to go in another direction.
It's just that when she turned her head, she found that Lou Ming's face was a little wrong: "Brother, what's the matter with you? Why is your face so ugly."
"It's okay." Lou Ming looked away with some guilty conscience.
"Are you uncomfortable, or let's go back first." Chen Yu walked over worriedly and grasped Lou Ming's hand.
The moment he was grasped by Chen Yu, Lou Ming suddenly loosened his clenched fist, and the unprovoked soreness in his heart subsided a lot: "I'm fine, don't talk to your friends for a while."
friend? Chen Yu glanced back at Lu Ning. The boy noticed that, returning to her a cute smile with dimples, Chen Yu nodded politely, which was regarded as a return. Then he turned his head and pulled Lou Ming's sleeve, making Lou Ming bend down, and then whispered, "Actually, I'm not familiar with him."
Lou Ming was taken aback for a moment, the thoughts in his eyes were pierced by a light, and they became bright again.
"Three brothers, let's go back, there is actually nothing to see here." Chen Yu came to the ghost market mainly to be alone with the third brother. Since the third brother doesn't like it here, they just go back. When I return to the imperial capital tomorrow, I can stay in the third brother's small building all day.
Chen Yu felt happy just thinking about it.
"Brother Lu Ning, I found it, you come soon..." Yan Xin's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Friend Chen Dao, I'll go there first..." Lu Ning greeted Chen Yu.
"Go ahead, I'm about to go shopping, I'm leaving now." Chen Yu waved his hand.
Lu Ning nodded and turned and ran towards Yan Xin, while Chen Yu took the third brother's hand and walked out with a smirk.
After walking not far, Lou Ming noticed that the hands of the two hadn't been released since just now. After a pause, he tried to restrain his feelings and wanted to break away.
Only when his hand moved, Chen Yu's grip became tighter, and Lou Ming turned his head in surprise.
"The ghosts here like soliciting customers. If I hold you, they dare not." Chen Yu said solemnly.
is it? Didn’t seem to solicit customers when I came in just now? Although Lou Ming was suspicious, his hands honestly didn't break away.
Chen Yu's face was triumphant, and she lowered her head to prevent Lou Ming from seeing her expression.
"Look ahead, be careful of falling." Lou Ming couldn't help but reminded.
"No..." Before Chen Yu could say the last word, a huge wave of air suddenly blew her away. The moment they flew up, Lou Ming stretched out his long arms, encircled the person in his arms, and used Chen Yu as a mat when he fell to the ground.
"Ah..."
Just like a violent wind passing by, the peaceful ghost market suddenly turned into a flying sand and a rock. The ghost cried and howled. The ghosts who participated in the ghost market fled around in panic, but were sucked away by a huge suction.
"Ghost King!" Chen Yu got up from the ground and saw the ghost king flying in mid-air and devouring ghosts with his mouth open. "Why is there a ghost king here?"
"Run!" The weasel tried to save a few more devoured ghosts, but the speed at which the ghost king swallowed it was too fast.
"Brother Lu Ning!" Yan Xin's body was also flew up by the huge suction. Although the ghost king did not swallow the living soul, it did not prevent him from swallowing the dead with a palm.
"Xin'er!" Yan Wei and Lu Ning took Yan Xin's hand from left to right before reluctantly pulling Yan Xin back.
"Let's go." Yan Wei pulled Yan Xin and was about to leave.
"You go first." Lu Ning drew out the peach wood sword, curled his eyebrows and looked at the ghost king.
"Lu Ning, we are not the opponent of the ghost king. Leave here first. I will call Grandpa to come over." There is no mobile phone signal in the ghost city, so I can only go out and call again.
"You go out first, I can save just a few."
"This matter has nothing to do with you?" Yan Wei was almost anxious to death.
"I released the ghost king."
"You didn't bring the Taishan stone, and you didn't know that the ghost king was sealed inside." It turned out that Lu Ning just wanted to buy the Taishan stone and was about to use his spiritual power to test the grade of the Taishan stone, but he accidentally unlocked the upper one. The seal, a vicious ghost king suddenly ran out of it, and it came out like this.
"Don't worry about me, go out first." Even if you don't care for these lonely wild ghosts, such a big ghost king can't let him leave here. Lu Ning unhooked the homing bell on his waist and threw it at the ghost king.
"Jingle Bell… "
The soul-calling bell trembled in the huge yin air, and it rang out. The ghost king seemed to be impatient with the noise, and he slapped the soul-calling bell away with a palm of his backhand.
"Buzzing..."
The compass, which was sitting quietly in Chen Yu's linen bag, flew out with a swish, and slammed into the head of the ghost king.
Let you bully the bell, let you bully the bell...
"..." Chen Yu, who was still hesitating whether to make a move, because his spiritual power had not fully recovered.
The author has something to say: Xi Shi: Are you still the compass that just can't beat it
Compass: Buzzing... (Men should shoot when they should.)
Crab: The big fat chapter...
