Chapter 23 [17 Underground Ghost Market] Part [-]
Not long after the last smear of sunset on the window paper disappeared, Di Renjie came to the door of Yuchi Zhenjin's bedroom as expected.
Yuchi Zhenjin stopped, turned around and went to open the door.Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw that Di Renjie had also changed into a businessman's outfit, even his cheeks were covered with black tendrils, and a scar slanted across his face.
Di Renjie saw that Yuchi Zhenjin frowned slightly, and hurriedly said, "My lord, it's time to leave."
Yuchi Zhenjin glanced at him a few times, his red eyelashes fluttered, and a trace of confusion flashed in his blue eyes.Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Di Renjie was selling in his gourd, but now it's better to have one thing less than one thing more, so he remained silent and walked out of the room.
He closed the door, and was about to take advantage of the twilight with Di Renjie to drive away. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he heard urgent footsteps behind him, followed by Bo Qianzhang's slightly nervous voice:
"Sir, my lord, I will bring Kuang Zhao here to return to my command."
Yuchi Zhenjin paused, his entire back froze.I'm afraid and he never expected that just now he was in a hurry and caused the embarrassing situation now: it's one thing to let the capable men go to work, but it's another thing to let them see this situation now.
Yuchi Zhenjin was extremely embarrassed in his heart, but on the surface he didn't want to show any flaws, so he turned his body slightly, glanced at Kuang Zhao's face who was clamped by Bo Qianzhang on his shoulders, then raised his hand and waved: "Stay away!" Come down."
When Bo Qianzhang and Kuang Zhao saw his black gauze covering his face, wearing a black skirt, and his long red hair reaching his waist, they were all stunned for a moment, and they had strange expressions after a long time, and they replied together: "Yes, my lord."
Yuchi Zhenjin saw that Kuang Zhao's face was slightly pale after being hit by ten sticks, but the expression on his face at this time was consistent with that of Bo Qianzhang who was holding him.
Not ridicule, what is it?
Yuchi Zhenjin glanced at his own skirt calmly, snorted coldly, then turned around angrily, took a few quick steps and then stopped, and simply stayed where he was, and rushed straight through the barrier on the corridor. The roof disappeared from the sight of the other three with a loud noise.
Di Renjie was choked by the dust coming from the pavement, coughed a few times, and then bowed to the two stunned people behind him: "Two people, the cost of repairing the roof will be paid to those who see it." He Kuang Zhao replied, and also stepped forward quickly, with a little force, he got out of the roof through the hole made by Yuchi Zhenjin.
"Di Renjie!" Kuang Zhao yelled. Unexpectedly, the injury on his hip was involved, so he could only cover the sore spot with one hand, and shouted in a crying voice: "You despicable villain!"
Of course Di Renjie couldn't hear Kuang Zhao's cry.When he stepped on the green tiles on the roof, Yuchi Zhenjin was no longer visible around him, and he was in a hurry when he saw a familiar black figure standing up slowly in front of him.
Di Renjie quickly turned over and stood behind Yuchi when he was punched by Yuchi's real gold on the shoulder.Although the force was not heavy, it still caused Di Renjie to stagger back a few steps.
"If you didn't take your time, how could this seat be laughed at by others!?" Yuchi approached a few steps, and gave him a few meaningful glances, "Di Renjie, are you deliberately teasing this seat?"
Di Renjie stood still on the ridge of the roof, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, this subordinate also wants to take advantage of the twilight to avoid people's eyes and eyes, and go secretly."
"I am not referring to this matter." Yuchi Zhenjin walked up to Di Renjie, "Although your martial arts cultivation is still inferior to this seat, it is definitely more than what this seat has seen. Why do you keep pretending to be incompetent in martial arts?"
Di Renjie listened for a while, and only played Tai Chi with him: "It's just not daring to show shame in front of adults."
Yuchi Zhenjin said: "Hmph! There are a lot of clichés! I have reservations about this seat, because I hope that one day... can I replace this seat?"
"Absolutely not!" Di Renjie only felt that the black veil covering Yuchi's real gold face brushed the tip of his nose vaguely while speaking, which made him a little uneasy. Naturally. The subordinates don’t want the hostile people to think that Di’s martial arts are so powerful, which will only increase trouble.”
"Forget it." Yuchi Zhenjin changed the subject, and asked again: "I will ask you again, after the conclusion of the Dragon King's case, why didn't you take the Dragon Mace that the Holy Majesty bestowed on you with you? Where did you hide it?"
Di Renjie was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes to meet Captain Chi Jiongjiong's eyes.I saw his lips opening and closing in the twilight, and it took a long time to avoid the seriousness and said lightly: "...Sincerely, it is the safest place to hide in this Tang Dynasty."
"Hmph, don't tell me, I won't force you." Yuchi seemed dissatisfied, and turned around angrily, "Time is running out, I don't want to waste time with you, hurry on my way!"
"Yes, my lord."
The two walked forward from the roof for a while, and then lightly landed in a side alley behind the Dali Temple.
As soon as they settled down, they heard someone calling softly: "Di...dumb Wu!"
Di Renjie turned around, and found that Sha Tuo had also changed his face a little, and was huddling in a corner with a fire bag and waving at them.
Di Renjie walked over quickly, but didn't make a sound: "This time I'm not dumb Wu, just call me Master Wu."
Sha Tuo nodded, and saw a person walking slowly behind Di Renjie through the light.The twilight is getting thicker, and only a graceful woman can be seen faintly.This time it was terrible, Sha Tuo was so frightened that he turned his back quickly, his shoulders trembling.
Di Renjie knew that he was suffering from 'women-phobia' again, so he took a look at Yuchi who didn't know why, and stretched out his hand to pull Shatuo back.
"This is Lord Yuchi, don't you recognize him?"
"Wei, Yuchi... my lord?" Shatuo was taken aback, and quickly held up the fire folder to look at Yuchi's real gold face, but in exchange for Yuchi's eye knife, he quickly retracted, giggling and saying: "Okay, so beautiful... ...I didn't remember it all at once."
Unexpectedly, when Yuchi heard this, he raised his hand and was about to hit someone, but fortunately Di Renjie quickly pressed it down.
"My lord, please be safe and don't be impatient. When you go to the ghost market, you must suppress it, and don't make more troubles!"
Yuchi Zhenjin glanced at him, as if he had given up.
Sha Tuo secretly blamed himself for not controlling the quick talk, but fortunately a catastrophe was avoided, so he hurriedly walked in front holding the torch: "Master is waiting elsewhere, and when he comes, he will tell me to take you there as soon as possible."
After that, the two followed Sha Tuo without saying a word.
At this moment, the surrounding area was completely dark, and the side alley was extremely quiet. In addition, the light of the fire folds was on and off, like a cluster of will-o'-the-wisps in a barren grave, making it even more gloomy.
When the three of them left the dark alley, they saw a person standing in the narrow passage between the houses.
Sha Tuo put away the fire folder, walked up to meet him in three or two steps, and called softly: "Master."
I saw that man was unkempt, ragged, and stooped, no different from the beggars on the street, completely different from the Wang Pu he usually saw.
'Wang Pu' heard Sha Tuo calling him in a low voice, suddenly jumped up from the ground and knocked on Sha Tuo's forehead, and said in a strange way: "Idiot! How many times have I told you not to call me master!"
Sha Tuo hurriedly rubbed his forehead and said, "Yes, Wang, Wang donkey."
"Hmph, it's not too bad." After Wang Lu finished speaking, he stroked the beard on his chin, walked up to the two people behind him, took advantage of the faint light between the houses, looked at them carefully for a round, and said with satisfaction: "Very Good, very good! Hee hee hee hee!"
"Wang Donkey?" Yuchi Zhenjin stepped forward, "Wang Pu?"
"By the way, you two are not allowed to call me Wang Pu, so as not to reveal my identity, understand?" Wang Lu, who is also Wang Pu after the disguise, paused, turned his face sideways and said sadly, "If If you accidentally slipped your mouth, I have plenty of ways to make you speechless again."
Yuchi Zhenjin naturally didn't take his threats to heart, but when he thought about the Dragon King case, almost the entire court was urinated by him, so he couldn't help being more careful.And Di Renjie was amazed by Wang Pu's bone-shrinking technique. There is such a thaumaturgy in the world that can completely change a person into another appearance. If it weren't for this "Wang Donkey" and Wang Pu's daily behavior is almost the same He absolutely didn't believe that Wang Lu, who was nearly half as short in height, was the eccentric Wang Pu Wang imperial physician.
Wang Pu didn't take them seriously, and just read to himself: "Li Xia is here, and the sun is in the middle; the guests turn against the host, and the sun is the wind; it's very dark night, look for Xuanji; April [-], go north! "After reading it, his eyes lit up, and he ran away.
When the other three saw it, they immediately ran after Wang Lu.
Unexpectedly, Wang Pu's body length has shrunk by half, and his feet have become more agile. In addition, there are many dark alleys between the houses, but if he didn't pay attention, the donkey who had been running ahead disappeared. In the silent and dark night Only Wang Donkey's yin and yang laughter came, suddenly far away and now near, as if from Jiuyou Hell.
"Huh? Teacher...Where's Donkey Wang?" Sha Tuo stopped, raised his hand and wiped the layer of white sweat oozing from his face with his sleeve.
Di Renjie panted slightly and said, "I lost my follow."
Yuchi Zhenjin took a step forward and signaled them to shut up.His ears under the black veil moved slightly, and after a while he pointed in one direction, signaling the other two to chase after him.
Di Renjie had no doubts about Yuchi Zhenjin's ability, he stretched out his hand and immediately chased in the direction he pointed.
The three of them sprinted for a while, and after a while, they saw Wang Lv's figure.
"You guys are too slow! Hurry up and keep up!" Wang Lu ran ahead, his voice both real and illusive.At the same time, the surrounding scenery also slowly changed, completely different from the Chang'an City that we usually see: the originally angular houses and the dark alleys with nine turns and eighteen turns, unexpectedly Turned into a lush wild woods!
Among the four people on this trip, except for Wang Lv, the other three were going to the ghost market for the first time, and now seeing the scenery around them suddenly changed, they suddenly didn't know where they were now, nor what spell Wang Lv used. It actually 'changed' the entire Chang'an city.
They didn't stop all the way, and walked forward for a while, only to see that the surrounding situation changed again. It was different from the dense forest just now. Gusts of bone-piercing wind came from nowhere.
Wang Lu, who had been running ahead, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at them, and said in an almost inhuman voice:
"There are black mountains and strange rocks in the surrounding area, blowing the dark wind of the nine secluded places; black mist and miasma in front, and no escape route behind; there is a city without a frame as a gate, so this is called a ghost market."
The other three people stopped suddenly, looking at the miasma-filled road ahead, they all frowned.
"This is, Ghost City?"
The scars on Di Renjie's face due to his disguise wrinkled with his expression.
