HBWnovel Chapter 42
Chapter 42
Gu Wanqing was thinking about things along the way, and when she arrived at the entrance of the ghost market, it was already midnight.
He jumped off the red flame sword and quietly hid in the bushes by the roadside.
Tonight coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, and the ghost market is also crowded and lively.
Gu Wanqing exposed a pair of eyes and looked inside, only to see lights and festoons inside, juggling ghosts can be seen everywhere, the only thing different from human beings in this festive atmosphere is probably the shopping carts they use to buy things. It is paper money.
Those grotesque, sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked, headless and eyeless ghosts floated around arm in arm in the bustling market, drilling up and down, so lively.
Seeing that all kinds of lonely souls and wild ghosts were having fun, Gu Wanqing relaxed her vigilance.
He quietly crawled out from the bushes, raised his head, took a pill from his bosom, and chewed it a few times.
This elixir was made by Yue Tonghua in the alchemy furnace of Zhaixing Pavilion, and eating it could temporarily remove the smell from his body.
If people eat it, ghosts will not be able to distinguish humans by smell.If ghosts eat it, human beings cannot smell the peculiar smell of other species.
After taking the elixir, Gu Wanqing swaggered into the ghost market with her hands behind her back.He thought that the more relaxed he was, the less likely he would be discovered by the ghost king.
Squeezing sideways into the bustling downtown, his black eyes rolled around, trying to find traces of Shen Yan, Nie Xiu and others.
But I went around and searched, but I didn't find a trace of human beings.
Not reconciled, he continued to walk down the road.
Walking to a corner in the downtown area, I saw an alley.
He thought for a while, then turned around and turned into the dark alley. At the end of the alley, there was a green lake with a stone arch bridge on the lake.
There are many ghosts and ghosts on the bridge, they are gathering in one place, and the things they hold in their hands are flickering.
Out of curiosity, I took a closer look and saw that the group of ghosts were squatting on the ground earnestly writing wishes with Kongming lanterns in their hands.
Gu Wanqing walked lightly, quietly approached a long-haired female ghost in white clothes and glanced behind her, only to see that she was using a brush to inscribe on the Kongming lantern in front of her, the handwriting was beautiful and small.
"Father and mother, Xiuya died unjustly. The child was unfilial, leaving only the white-haired and the black-haired father and mother in the world. As long as I think of my parents every day, Xiuya will feel restless day and night, and her heart will be twisted like a knife. Heaven If you have eyes, open your eyes and send Li Wentao, who is not as good as a beast, to hell to kill me."
After writing these few lines, she put the brush on the low table beside her, then stood up holding the Kongming Lantern, as if with infinite hope, she carefully released it, because Gu Wanqing saw her shoulders shaking violently with.
He was about to step forward to ask for clarification when he found a hand on his shoulder.
Looking back, the owner of that hand turned out to be Princess Yurou who had fascinated him.
She is still the same as many years ago, neither getting old nor ugly, just the same as before, with ecstatic eyes and charming smile.
Her eyes were still on Gu Wanqing's body, but she found that the immature young man back then was no longer the same as before.
In terms of appearance, he is more handsome than before; in terms of body shape, he is taller and more well-proportioned; in terms of temperament, he has become more confident and stable than before.
"If the princess is not mistaken, you should be Gu Wanqing, the demon king of Tianmo Palace?" Princess Yurou slowly took her hand off Gu Wanqing's shoulder and asked coquettishly.
"Hehe, Princess Yurou has really good eyesight."
Gu Wanqing never thought that he would run into her here. If it were at the age of 18, he would have been led by the nose with a few words from Princess Yurou.
But now, he is no longer the person who would forget who he is when he is hooked by a beautiful woman.
