Naturally, there is no winner in this bet unknown to outsiders.
Because Tao Huaying is neither Yan Shouyi's "concubine" nor Wei Changqing's "old friend", her current identity is just Lin Zitong's maid.
So when Lin Zitong introduced Tao Huaying's identity, there were three strange sighs among the crowd.
Tao Huaying asked nervously: "Do they not welcome me?"
Even though Tao Huaying is a century-old ghost king, she is really not that special in Yan Shouyi's team, so Tao Huaying has no sense of superiority in her heart, but she really hopes to integrate into this group.
Lin Zitong was also wondering why Wang Jichang, Weng Qianxiang and Zhu Huansi looked so regretful?
However, she still consoled her: "Don't worry, everyone just came back from the ghost market, and your emotions may not have calmed down yet."
"Well..." Tao Huaying reluctantly nodded and began to look at the outside world.
It was decades ago that she entered the ghost market. There is no need to say how much the world has changed in the past few decades.
Therefore, Tao Huaying did not have the aura of a century-old ghost at all. She was like a country bumpkin who came to the city, staring at the high-rise buildings. She was even surprised when Mr. Qin Liu took out his mobile phone to contact Ma Jinxuan.
Seeing Tao Huaying's "innocent" appearance, everyone dropped their guard against her and began to introduce this new world to her enthusiastically.
But an introduction is an introduction, and everyone did not forget about the business.
Everyone got in the car and rushed to Master Qin Liu's residence at Xiaodongmen with the Yangling Tiger Talisman, where Ma Xingping was still waiting for help.
…
Two hours after Yan Shouyi and the others left.
It was already completely bright, and the bus stop outside Sifang Street was full of people. The rush hour for students to go to work had passed, and the people waiting for the bus at this time were all office workers from Chang'an.
Although the weather is nice today, when standing outside Sifang Street, a famous ghost street, everyone still feels a chill on their backs, and they can't help but look back from time to time, for fear that something strange is staring at them in Sifang Street.
Suddenly, someone found a person lying in Sifang Street.
He immediately exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.
As the saying goes "all fear comes from insufficient numbers", even such a horrifying ghost street becomes less scary when there are more people. Everyone formed a group and walked into Sifang Street to check on the person's condition.
After getting closer, everyone took a deep breath, and some people turned pale with fright. Others who were calmer immediately took out their mobile phones and called for an ambulance.
The person lying in Sifang Street was covered in blood, one of his eyeballs was gouged out, and one of his arms was completely broken off. It didn’t look like the cut had been cut off, but rather it looked like it had been “teared” off.
of.
What's even more puzzling is that a piece of skin is missing from this person's back, as if someone had stripped off a layer of skin.
He is Zhen Zhidao, the earth raccoon dog among the twenty-eight constellations.
Two hours ago, he and his accomplices were in the ghost market and were suddenly chased by the ghost king.
The leader, Shi Jing, was always deadly when he made a move. He showed no mercy at all and refused to listen to his explanation.
Under the encirclement and suppression by the four ghost kings, Zhen Zhidao and his party, who were unfamiliar with the place, suffered heavy casualties.
In the end, Zhen Zhidao's turtle shell was shattered and he lost an arm. He used earth escape to get into the stone mansion, and returned to the real world through the old banyan tree.
This led to the miserable scene now.
Within two minutes of the call for help from passers-by, an ambulance rushed into Sifang Street.
The passerby who called the police was full of doubts: Is the efficiency of 120 so high now?
The medical staff who got off the car did not ask about the situation at all. They lowered their heads and put Zhen Zhi on the stretcher, and then left in a hurry, leaving only a pool of blood at the scene.
The passers-by had finished watching the fun and didn't take it to heart. The bus just arrived. Everyone quickly got on the bus and returned to normal life. They just treated what they saw today as something to talk about after dinner, and they would forget it in a few days.
Zhen Zhidao, who was lying in the ambulance, struggled to open his only remaining eye.
He weakly said to the doctor sitting next to him: "I want to see...the boss..."
The doctor took off his mask, revealing a dark and rough face. He was obviously not a doctor holding a scalpel in the operating room, but more like a butcher in a slaughterhouse.
The man replied coldly: "We are sending you to see the boss."
Zhen Zhidao breathed a sigh of relief. Although the guy in front of him looked like a butcher, with him here, he would definitely not have to die today.
It's just a pity for those brothers who will stay in the ghost market forever.
Zhen Zhidao felt a surge of anger in his heart. All of this was due to Yan Shouyi!
…
The chaos in the ghost market has nothing to do with Yan Shouyi.
He was afraid that he would never go back to the ghost market in this life, and he only had to think about whether Shi Jing would chase him out.
Xiaodongmen is quite deserted in the early morning. Antique dealers often open their shops until two or three in the morning, then go home to rest, and only open their doors for business at two or three in the afternoon the next day.
So at this time, there were not many people in Xiaodongmen at all. Only a few tourists occasionally appeared at the intersection. They were confused to confirm whether this was Xiaodongmen. Then, after being ruthlessly laughed at by the locals, they left depressingly.
Wait until the afternoon and come back.
In Mr. Qin Liu's house, Ma Jinxuan and Lao Jin, who had received the news, had been waiting outside for a long time. They could only get the Yangling Tiger Talisman to see if it could work on Ma Xingping.
After finally waiting for Yan Shouyi and the others to return, Lao Jin took the Yangling Tiger Talisman and walked into the house without saying a word.
In order not to disturb Ma Xingping, everyone else stayed outside. Only Qin Liuye, Ma Jinxuan, Yan Shouyi and Lin Zitong followed the ward to check.
Old Jin, who was holding the Yangling Tiger Talisman, said as he walked:
"The curse is different from ordinary diseases. It is like a switch. Once it is touched, the curse will be immediately ineffective. The rest will wait for the cursed person to slowly recover. So if the Yangling Tiger Talisman is useful, Ma Xingping's
The curse should disappear immediately."
This is a reassurance for everyone. If Ma Xingping's curse is not solved after a while, it means that the Yangling Tiger Talisman is not the key to unlocking the curse, and everyone needs to continue looking.
In just one night, Ma Xingping, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked even more haggard.
He was already skin and bones, but his current state was worse than that of a skeleton, and even his breathing was barely visible.
When Ma Jinxuan saw her brother's appearance, her nose felt sour and she almost shed tears.
Lao Jin stopped Ma Jinxuan and signaled her to calm down.
Then he directly put the Yangling Tiger Talisman into Ma Xingping's hand.
Since yesterday, Ma Xingping has no strength to even raise his eyelids, let alone grasp things.
But as soon as the Yangling Tiger Talisman came into his hand, he immediately grabbed it tightly. Lao Jin tried several times, but he couldn't get it back from him!
"Is this... effective?" Mr. Qin Liu swallowed his saliva and asked.
