The owner of the ghost market widened his eyes and stared at Jiang Su for a long time before he asked in a trembling voice, "...wife?"
He swallowed his saliva, feeling that things were not easy.
what wife? There are only a few big men here, what kind of wives can they have
The person he touched... Could it be Li Hanshan? !
The owner of the ghost market suddenly remembered what Hua Shiqing said to him when he came here. Someone pretended to be Lu Jiu and entered the ghost market, and this person had a close and ambiguous relationship with the young man who claimed to be the young master of the demon sect, which was really suspicious.
Well, the wife he mentioned, in all likelihood, was referring to Li Hanshan.
Today's young people are really amazing. In the past, even in the wicked way, breaking the sleeves of the rivers and lakes was regarded as a scandal, but now... tsk tsk tsk, the wife can shout out in an open and honest way.
The owner of the ghost market was full of emotion, but his face was still respectful, and he didn't dare to question the slightest bit. Anyway, a man can bend and stretch, and he is also very good at being a grandson.
The owner of the ghost market hurriedly said: "It's the villain's fault. The villain has no eyes, so he shouldn't take the initiative."
Seeing that he changed the subject, Jiang Su still held his sword tightly in his hand, he couldn't help but get even more annoyed, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, return the sword to me!"
The owner of the ghost market hurriedly presented the Qingxiao sword, while nervous, for fear that Jiang Su would go back and blow the pillow wind, and said: "Young master, don't be angry, you see, the young master is unscathed—"
Jiang Su just took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and kept wiping the scabbard where the ghost market owner had touched, feeling colic in his heart.
It took him only a few days to get this peerless beauty, and the beauty was held in the hands of such a short fat man. Although everything was for the sake of the overall situation, he couldn't help but feel heartache. After wiping it a few times, he carefully hung the sword back to his waist. For a while, he was still holding the sword in one hand, and he was reluctant to leave the sword for a moment.
Li Hanshan: "..."
Li Hanshan was very unhappy.
He has long known that Jiang Su likes swords, and he doesn't mind Jiang Su's fondness for swords, but the Qingxiao sword is different. This Qingxiao sword was given to Jiang Su by Bai Yusheng, and Li Hanshan always thinks that Bai Yusheng is against Jiang Su. The plot is not good, and there may be other plans. Seeing that Jiang Su cherishes the gift from Bai Yusheng so much, he is inexplicably uncomfortable.
This kind of mixed feeling is really hard to describe in words, it just feels like annoyance and suffocation accompanied by a sour feeling, but he couldn't interrupt, so he simply turned his eyes away, just pretending that he couldn't see anything. .
He has already started to think about the swords he has collected over the years. After all, he is not as obsessed with swords as Jiang Su. When he was teaching, he spent most of his time studying swordsmanship. At that time, the ordinary iron sword that was used by the demon cultists was still used.
That is to say, in terms of gift giving, he may really lose to Bai Yusheng.
But Li Hanshan was unwilling to admit defeat, saying that he was also the young master of the holy sect, and Xie Zeli had to hand over the entire holy sect to him. There was always something Jiang Su liked in the sect, so he couldn't believe that he couldn't find a gift that Jiang Su liked.
He had a gloomy face, full of resentment and nowhere to vent, and then looked at the owner of the ghost market with a flattering face, trembling, and even more anger in his heart, and asked with a cold face: "What nonsense are you talking about again."
The owner of the ghost market looked at Li Hanshan and was stunned and silent for a while. He really didn't understand where Li Hanshan's anger came from.
He thought hard and suddenly had an epiphany.
This person cares about Li Hanshan calling his wife, but Li Hanshan is the young master of the Demon Sect! Dignified young master, how could you be willing to be subservient to others
what wife? This guy must be talking nonsense! Even if it's not nonsense, as long as he is in front of people, he has to think that this person is talking nonsense!
"Young master, the villain is stupid." The owner of the ghost market was serious, but he was worried that he would talk nonsense in front of others and refute Li Hanshan's face, and hurriedly explained for Li Hanshan, "The villain understands, what he said is not that. It means, it's just a tough mouth, it's just a tough mouth for a while, the young master is magnanimous and doesn't care about him at will."
Li Hanshan: "..."
Wait, what the hell is this guy talking about
Why did Li Hanshan understand every word he said, but when combined together, Li Hanshan couldn't figure out what he meant.
And Jiang Su finally recovered from the distress and joy of losing and regaining his beautiful wife, raised his hand to look at the owner of the ghost market, and said, "Actually, we don't have any malicious intentions."
Ghost Market Master: "..."
The owner of the ghost market looked around silently, looking at the guard who was wounded, twisted and moaning, and for a moment he didn't know what else he could say.
Jiang Su coughed lightly and decided to go straight to the point: "I have something to ask you."
The owner of the ghost market has long regarded him as the young master's wife of the demon sect, and can't wait to nod immediately, indicating that he must know everything and say everything.
Jiang Su asked bluntly, "Who asked Lu Jiu to steal the key to the invincible."
But he didn't want the ghost market owner to be startled, but he didn't seem to know about it. He raised his hand in a little panic, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "This... I don't know either."
Jiang Su raised his eyebrows.
If according to what Lu Jiu said, all the people who have entrusted are the hands of the owner of the ghost market, then the owner of the ghost market cannot be unaware of who the client is.
Even if the person who entrusted him intentionally concealed his identity, the owner of the ghost market should not be a fool. He should take what he gave him, and what should not be touched. He should have a set of rules in his heart, like stealing the keys to the sky. This kind of thing offended both the richest man, the Bai family, and the Wulin League. Jiang Su didn't believe that the owner of the ghost market didn't even investigate the identity of the entrusted person, so he dared to take this dirty work rashly.
If the owner of the ghost market is such an idiot, the ghost market should have been destroyed long ago.
But the owner of the ghost market didn't seem to be talking at all, just nervous, he kept raising his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, before speaking after a long while, he said to Jiang Su cautiously, "I... our ghost market is nothing more than collecting money to do things. The identity of the entrusting person, and... is not a critical issue."
Jiang Su frowned slightly.
He turned his head and saw that Hua Shiqing, who had been standing motionless on the side, was also frowning slightly like him, and he felt more and more that this matter was not as simple as the ghost market owner said, and there must be some concealment in it.
In just a short exchange, he felt that he had roughly figured out the temperament of the ghost market owner. Although he still couldn't figure out how such a waste could support the ghost market, he could see the reaction of the ghost market owner just now. When you startle him, he can shake anything out.
Jiang Su slowly raised the Qingxiao sword and placed it in front of him. With a loud slam, he pulled out the sword. With a flicker of cold light, the owner of the ghost market trembled with fright. The sweat on his forehead seemed to be even more. With a trembling voice, he hurriedly said, "I... I already said it... Young Master, save me!"
Li Hanshan turned his head slightly, looked away, and said, "I can't control him."
Jiang Su looked at the owner of the ghost market again and said, "I'll ask you again—"
"He gave too much." The owner of the ghost market said tremblingly, "I didn't ask his identity, his martial arts is also very high, I asked people to follow him, and he got rid of them."
Jiang Su: "..."
Is this really a fool
You don't even know the identity of the other party, how dare you take on such a hot job
"He blocked his face, all I know is that it is a young man." The owner of the ghost market trembled, "It should be twenty-five or six years old, with a sword and high martial arts."
Jiang Su took a deep breath: "It's all nonsense."
Voice, face, gender, age, and even the weapons they use can all be disguised in disguise, that is to say, the only clue they can get is only one, this person has high martial arts skills and is very rich.
Jiang Su put his sword back and saw that the owner of the ghost market fell to the ground with frightened legs. He felt extremely disappointed.
He rushed to the ghost city and only got such a useless clue, so finding the person behind the scenes was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it was almost impossible.
He needs a total of seven keys, and even if he gets all the other six keys, as long as he lacks such a key, he will definitely not be able to unlock the invincible sky.
Jiang Su was a little upset. Now that he had finished asking the news, there seemed to be no need to stay here. He was about to turn to leave when he heard a word from the ghost market owner.
"Lu Jiujiang... After taking the key, that person never came to get it." The ghost market owner said in a trembling voice, "I still... still keep the key..."
Jiang Su could not wait to pull the owner of the ghost market from the ground immediately, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the key?"
The owner of the ghost market shivered and got up and wanted to take them to pick it up. In fact, he just entered another room, opened a secret compartment, took out a golden box from the inside, and handed it to Jiang Su. Jiang Su opened it. Look, there is indeed a strangely shaped stone key inside.
He had never seen an invincible key before, so it was hard to tell whether it was real or fake, but the key had been kept in Bai's house for so many years. He believed that Bai Yusheng could recognize it, so he put away the brocade box, pressed his heart with joy, and glanced at the ghost. The city owner said, "If this is a fake, I will come back."
The owner of the ghost market couldn't help shaking his head and said, "It's not a fake, of course it's not a fake!"
He couldn't wait to send away the two big Buddhas in front of him immediately. Hua Shiqing always stood by his side, with a complicated expression, he seemed to think that something was amiss, but Jiang Su took the key and glanced at Hua Shiqing again. , thinking that it was Hua Shiqing who exposed his identity with the owner of the ghost market, a sudden thud in his heart, I just felt that the matter between Hua Shiqing and Lu Jiu was really wrong.
Not to mention what the owner of the ghost city just said to Hua Shiqing, if Hua Shiqing really didn't want to pay attention to Lu Jiu, and he didn't have the slightest interest in Lu Jiu, how could he be able to tell the difference immediately with just a few quick glances. Out of Jiang Su's identity
Yes, if you are very familiar, it is not difficult to distinguish the other person's body shape, but what the elder sister said just now - Lu Jiu is infatuated, but Hua Shiqing ignores him at all.
how is this possible! At first glance, Hua Shiqing took it out to deceive people!
It's a love affair! This must be a mutual crush!
Jiang Su thought about it seriously. Now he has all three keys, which means that the main storyline has progressed by 40%, but now, he has only accumulated 10 points in his ghost red fate system, no way. , This is too slow to keep up with the progress of the main line, he doesn't want to work hard to open Invincibles, just touch the next volume of the sword, and immediately return to reality in the next second.
He had to match Hua Shiqing and Lu Jiu.
Jiang Su coughed, stepped forward, and took the initiative to talk to Hua Shiqing.
"Playboy." Jiang Su said seriously, "I know you are worried about Lu Jiu."
Hua Shiqing interrupted him coldly: "I'm not worried."
Jiang Su: "..."
Jiang Su ignored his refusal and insisted on going on.
"Lu Jiu broke a leg." Jiang Su said, "He also suffered some injuries and bleeds a lot."
Hua Shiqing: "… "
Jiang Su still ignored him when he saw Hua Shiqing, but his expression seemed to be loose, and he was obviously listening to him seriously. He knew that this was indeed duplicity, and Hua Shiqing should be very worried about Lu Jiu.
He was silent for a moment, and decided to deceive Hua Shiqing first.
"His mouth is tough, and it doesn't hurt when he says that, but he bleeds so much, he must have been seriously injured." Jiang Su began to talk nonsense, "Being trapped in a place like Linlang Pavilion again, of course the people of the Bai family would not So nice to him."
But Hua Shiqing was slightly startled, but he was a little puzzled, and asked, "Linlang Pavilion?"
Jiang Su thought for a while, Hua Shiqing is not from Jianghu, and he doesn't know about these Jianghu disputes. He should not know where Linlang Pavilion is, so he explained, "Lu Jiu stole things from their house."
Hua Shiqing: "… "
"This sword is also." Jiang Su raised the Qingxiao sword and said, "It was because of this sword that his leg was broken."
Although he was the one who broke Lu Jiu's legs, Hua Shiqing didn't ask, so Jiang Su didn't say it.
Hua Shiqing: "… "
"I think you know this sword?" Jiang Su guessed carefully, "Did Lu Jiu tell you?"
Hua Shiqing was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Before he left last time, he drew this sword on paper and asked someone to give it to me." Hua Shiqing finally opened his mouth and said softly, "I think your sword is very similar, but... you are not him. ."
"He stole the sword and the key, all for you." Jiang Su thought about it, and couldn't help guessing, said,
"Your ransom is expensive?"
Hua Shiqing was stunned for a while, then just shook his head.
Jiang Su asked him, "Do you want to see Lu Jiu?"
Hua Shiqing seemed to be reluctant to speak, and after a while, she whispered a word, "I can't leave here."
"I can't," Jiang Su replied, "It just depends on whether you want it or not."
Hua Shiqing: "… "
The owner of the ghost market seemed to have been frightened by Jiang Su, and could not wait to jump up immediately. At this time, he seemed to be full of courage, and hurriedly said sharply: "He can't leave here!"
Jiang Su glanced back at him, and the owner of the ghost market shrank for the most part again, his voice was a little lower, but he was still very persistent, and said, "He... he can't see the light."
Jiang Su raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I can't see the sun." Hua Shiqing replied in a low voice, "There will be sores on my body."
Jiang Su didn't panic at all.
What kind of problem is this
He came in wearing a cloak, gave the cloak mask to Hua Shiqing, blocked Hua Shiqing's whole body, and brought it to Fu Wenxiao. He didn't believe that Fu Wenxiao couldn't cure him. It's not difficult, why live in such a dark place.
Thinking of this, Jiang Su took Hua Shiqing's arm and said, "I'll lend you the cloak—"
The owner of the ghost market hurriedly interrupted Jiang Su's words: "If he leaves here, something will happen!"
Jiang Su asked him back, "What can be wrong?"
"This... I..." The owner of the ghost market didn't seem to know how to explain it. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and in the end he could only say, "The money he ran for ransom..."
Jiang Su tutted, "You asked me for money?"
Ghost Market Master: "..."
The owner of the ghost market: "It's alright, just walk slowly."
Jiang Su untied the cloak and put it on Hua Shiqing himself. Hua Shiqing was not taller than him, and was thinner and thinner. This cloak was enough to block Hua Shiqing, but Hua Shiqing said that he could not see the light, Jiang Su thought about it again, anyway, the key was already in his hand, he didn't need to pretend to be Lu Jiu's identity anymore, even if he showed his face, it shouldn't matter.
He was about to take off his mask, but Li Hanshan held his hand, shook his head at him, lowered his voice, and said to him, "You can't swim."
Jiang Su: "..."
Right.
As long as he doesn't leave the river and stay away from those disgusting fish, it's better for him to hide his identity.
At least, he can't let other people know that he is righteous.
Li Hanshan had already taken off his mask, handed it to Hua Shiqing, and said coldly, "Put it on."
Li Hanshan's tone was cold, as if he was dissatisfied with Jiang Su's wearing a cloak for Hua Shiqing, and the expression on his face was not good, and Hua Shiqing was accustomed to being good at observing words and expressions, and was scared back by his expression, Jiang Su had to cough lightly With a sound, he said, "He's not very good at talking, you put on your mask and be careful."
Hua Shiqing frowned and looked at them, and suddenly said in a low voice, "You two have such a good relationship."
Jiang Su replied, "Aren't all friends like this?"
Hua Shiqing tilted his head slightly, no longer speaking, and never refusing to resist. Jiang Su turned his head to leave, and he followed carefully, while Li Hanshan walked at the end, seeing the ghost city owner stretch out his hand, like a He wanted to stop Hua Shiqing, but he didn't dare to offend Jiang Su. In the end, he was so tangled that he retracted his hand, lay on the ground like a dead heart, and closed his eyes with a sigh.
Li Hanshan faintly felt that something was wrong.
If the owner of the ghost market stopped Hua Shiqing from leaving just for the ransom, or for the excuse that Hua Shiqing was afraid of light, he didn't need to be so entangled.
You must know that the ghost market is not short of money, so a ransom is too expensive for Lu Jiu to raise. For the owner of the ghost market, it should be only a small amount.
Why is he showing this expression
Li Hanshan frowned, and subconsciously put his hand on the sword.
He always felt that this matter was not so simple.
But Jiang Su seemed to have gone out, so Li Hanshan had to keep up, and when he reached the street outside, Hua Shiqing was nervous, bowed his head at a loss, and did not dare to hold Jiang Su's hand.
He obviously thought it was the young master's wife. He didn't dare to do this kind of thing in front of the young master.
Jiang Su really stopped immediately and looked back at Hua Shiqing.
This man is touching his wife.
What are you doing? While walking, he suddenly touched his wife!
Behind him, Hua Shiqing pulled the cloak very low. He had already put on a mask to cover his face, and no one could see his face clearly, but he still put one hand in front of the mask, apparently extremely afraid of being discovered. identity of.
He was holding the scabbard of Qingxiao Sword, but his hand trembled slightly. He seemed to be extremely frightened. Jiang Su couldn't help lowering his eyes, and his eyes stayed on Hua Shiqing's hands. Slippery, obviously he had never done any heavy work, but the thin wrists exposed under the cloak were covered in bruises, like pinch marks, and there were a few staggered scars, which did not match those well-kept hands at all.
Jiang Su was slightly startled, hesitated for a moment, Hua Shiqing had already seen his eyes clearly, and was so scared that he retracted his hand, not daring to touch his Qingxiao sword again, he shrank back, tightened his cloak, and said nothing. Stand on the spot.
Jiang Su couldn't help frowning, only to feel that Hua Shiqing's situation was really different from what he thought.
But he couldn't tell what this strange feeling was all about. Besides, they hadn't left the ghost market yet, and this was not the place to talk.
The people in the ghost city had long known that Li Hanshan was the young master of the demon sect, so they automatically made way for them, but they didn't understand why they entered as two people, but turned into three people when they left, and waited for them to reach the ferry smoothly. , the boatman still stood there and waited. Seeing the three of them come here, he was slightly startled and asked, "This is..."
Jiang Su ignored him and got on the boat directly. He was about to reach out to help Hua Shiqing behind him, but the boatman spoke again and said, "Xiao Jiu, you don't know that you need a token to leave, right?"
Jiang Su didn't answer him, but just looked at Li Hanshan, who looked gloomy and said coldly, "This is the person my father wanted."
The boatman shrank his neck, stopped talking, and even made a gesture of invitation to Hua Shiqing, and then carefully picked up the oars, preparing to push the boat away from the ferry.
Jiang Su really didn't expect Xie Zeli's name to be so useful.
Hua Shiqing stood cautiously in the boat, nervous, Jiang Su lowered his voice and told him that there were strange fish in the river, don't make too much noise, so as not to attract the attention of those strange fish, he nodded, and then turned his eyes Turning to the dense fog in front of him, there seemed to be some unspeakable expectations.
With that look, Jiang Su felt that he might not have left the ghost market for a long, long time.
The boat entered the fog, and after walking for a while, the boatman took the oars and made a silent gesture to them. Jiang Sufang felt a little nervous. Li Hanshan had already taken his hand and whispered to him, "Don't be afraid. ."
Jiang Su: "..."
Jiang Su closed his eyes.
After all, he has practiced martial arts for many years, and his ears are very good. He can hear the sound of strange fish swimming away under the water. He heard the sound as if it was under their boat, and before they left, a sudden sound came from the fog. There was a shrill sound, like a whistle, so shocked that Jiang Su quickly turned his head to look at the sound, and then there was a huge sound of water, the water was turned upside down, and the boat shook violently. Before he could exit, a strange fish suddenly jumped up and dragged him into the water.
The water was filled with blood and mist, and an amputated limb floated up for a moment, but another strange fish suddenly pounced on it and dragged the amputated limb into the river. Jiang Su's face was pale, and his feet were poured into the bone-chilling river water. When he was about to sink, he hurriedly looked left and right, and when he saw that it seemed to be the river bank, he reached out to grab Hua Shiqing and drag him to the river bank.
But before he could hold Hua Shiqing's hand, the boat was already torn apart, Hua Shiqing screamed in fright, and Jiang Su and him fell into the river almost at the same time.
There were icy river water all around, Jiang Su couldn't see anything clearly, he could only hit a few times with his long sword, and then he wanted to jump straight up with light power. Li Hanshan was one step faster than him, and grabbed his hand and dragged him directly. Out of the river, he hugged his waist and jumped up the river bank suddenly, Jiang Su choked a few saliva, coughed and turned to look, but Hua Shiqing was no longer on the river.
He didn't know whether Hua Shiqing was bitten to death by those strange fish, or—
Jiang Su frowned.
Where did that whistle come from? If according to the boatman's words, those strange fish should have gone looking for the sound and attacked the source of the sound, but these strange fish overturned their boat. Could it be that... these strange fish can still be manipulated by humans
Jiang Su was full of puzzlement, and then looked at Li Hanshan, looking left and right, and seemed extremely nervous, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's in the fog now." Li Hanshan said with a frown, "We might get lost."
Jiang Su was soaked all over, and the mask on his face was extremely uncomfortable, so he simply threw the mask away and said, "Go back to the ghost market first."
There are many forks in the river to the ghost market, and the fog is thick. If they want to go back on their own, I am afraid it will be difficult, but there is only one river from the ghost market to here, and the boatman just left the ghost market and went upstream. After a while, they were by the river, walking down the river, and it would not be long before they returned to the ghost city.
Li Hanshan nodded, and the two remained silent, but almost at a moment, they raised their vigilance to the extreme.
Jiang Su had many doubts in his heart, and he felt that the owner of the ghost market should be able to solve his doubts. When something like this happened, he was worried about being attacked on the road, but they returned to the ghost market smoothly, and there was not much on the market. Changes, the people in the ghost city are still looking at them carefully, but many people's eyes are dangling on Jiang Su's face, making Jiang Su feel a little uncomfortable.
The pretty sister was still entertaining guests in front of the brothel. She saw Jiang Su and Li Hanshan at a glance, and greeted them with a smile, saying, "Young master—"
She paused and stopped her gaze on Jiang Su's face.
After a while, she seemed to recognize who Jiang Su was, her eyes were unbelievable, and she almost blurted out.
"You... Are you Jiang Su?" The woman was shocked, "Wait, where is Lu Jiu? No, the young master's wife is actually you?!"
