Yi Yan shuddered, turned around and looked around, only to see that the old man from the charm shop had gone home at some point. His eagle-like eyes were staring at the notes in Yi Yan's hand, with no expression on his face.
"I'm here today to exchange for the Dust Concealment Talisman. I saw you weren't here, so I'm waiting for you here." Yi Jin laughed dryly and put the notes on the table.
"snort!"
The old man selling talismans snorted coldly, threw the bundle of bark in his hand on the counter, and said, "Seeing that I'm not at home, you treat my room as your own room? You can see it if you want?"
Yi Yan was speechless. He was not naturally very thick-skinned, so he didn't know what to say.
"Bring it here." Seeing the shriveled appearance of Ember, the old talisman seller's face showed a hint of joy. He sat across from Ember with his hands behind his back, and at the same time raised his head to signal Ember to call out the things.
"good"
In a matter of moments, embers filled the entire room with bags of all sizes.
He filled a package with twenty steamed buns, so he packed twenty packages. Since the Kong Shu statue had a very good thermal insulation effect, the steaming steam from it was clearly visible as soon as he took it out.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you really have something."
The old man selling talisman got up quickly. He opened a bag on the table and took out a steamed bun. Regardless of its scalding temperature, he put it into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks and blew air outwards, while enjoying the steamed bun with a look of intoxication on his face.
Delicious food.
"Old sir, have you ever eaten steamed buns before?"
Yi Yan silently watched the old man taste the steamed buns and expressed the doubts in his heart.
This old man gave him a very mysterious feeling. He didn't look like a ghost hunter or a ghost controller. Not only did he not have a trace of red mist on his body, but he couldn't even feel the rotten smell and resentment unique to ghost controllers.
"Well, I just remember eating this thing many years ago. I was helping out at someone else's house. I didn't eat for two days, and I saw someone calling this thing a steamed bun. Plus, I've never eaten it before, so I ate six of them in one go.
"Steamed buns, if that family hadn't been kind enough to rescue me, I might have been blamed for this thing."
The old man threw away the steamed buns in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly and recounted his past experiences.
"Last time you learned that I was giving steamed buns to the children over there, did you sense it through a talisman?"
Yu Yan thought about it for a long time, looked at the old man and said.
"Hehe, I can't tell you this." The old man selling talismans laughed twice, took out five dust-concealing talismans from his arms, wrapped them in cloth, and threw them to the ember and said at the same time.
"By the way, old sir, do you know about the Dead Infant Village?"
This mission has been completed, and Yi Yan felt much more at ease. He took the charm back into his arms and was not in a hurry to leave at this moment. He simply continued chatting with the old man here for a few words, and at the same time extracted some useful information from him, so as to facilitate
Make plans for your next tasks.
"Where do you want to go to do the mission?"
The old man selling talismans blew his beard, took out the green ceramic kettle from the counter, poured a cup for the ember, and said with a frown.
"Is it the boy named Zhang Yuetian from Baiyuemen who asked you to go?"
"How do you know?" Yi Jin was delighted. It seemed that the old man knew something, and he was not as simple as an ordinary old man in a charm shop.
"That kid has been recruiting people here like crazy recently. He said he wants to gather powerful ghost hunters from various sects to follow him into the Dead Infant Village to do tasks." The old man's eyes flashed with a glint, and he said slowly while rubbing his temples.
"I have also met his brother. The madman who was famous in the Baiyue Sect before was even more arrogant than the Wang Yun you killed, so you have to be careful. That kid Zhang Yuetian is a little too content. He may not be able to
What a good thing”
Ember nodded slightly, agreeing with the old man's statement.
He also had some doubts about Zhang Yuetian, who had such a scholarly air. Although his actions might make people like him, they just couldn't like him.
Zhang Yuetian's impression is that he is too soft, not like what a ghost hunter from the Baiyue Sect should look like at all.
Yu Yan subconsciously combined Bai Yuemen with those muscular and unreasonable things.
"You kid replaced five of my dust-concealing talismans at once. According to your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to survive, but you have to change your temper. Those two useless things following you can't survive this mission.
"When the old man saw that the ember was silent, he continued.
"You also know that in missions involving ghost masters, there are bound to be weird things in them. The ghosts in the Dayang Lake mission are already very difficult for you. The thing in the Dead Infant Village is even a few hundred ghosts.
It may not be possible to solve it together.”
Hundreds of ghosts!?
He really knows something! And he knows a lot of information. He even knows all the missions that Ember has participated in.
"Old sir, I want to do another viewing of Luoyin."
Yi Yan thought for a moment and said.
On the one hand, he hadn't gotten any useful information when he entered that world last time, and on the other hand, he wanted to see the old man. After all, the old man's limbs had been hacked by others last time he met. He didn't know whether the old man could
Help him.
In fact, what he wanted to go to more was the tomb behind the stone wall. He wanted to know more about what was buried in that tomb. Unfortunately, Yi Yan was too timid after thinking about it, and he was afraid of being discovered by the things inside.
, there won’t even be a chance to come back by then.
"Still going?"
Although the old man was grumpy, he had received so many steamed buns today, so he still decided to help him do Guanluoyin again for free.
He quickly stood up and signaled to Ember to silence, and at the same time posted the charms all over the room, locked the door, put his hand on Ember's shoulder, and said
"Remember, it's the same as last time. You only have one stick of incense. Come back as soon as you're done. The old man can't stand the trouble anymore."
As Yi Yan closed his eyes again, there seemed to be waves rolling in the endless darkness before his eyes.
The noisy and messy laughter of children around him reached his ears, and things kept climbing behind the embers.
"I'm going to the gray land!"
Yi Yan thought silently in his mind, and at the same time imagined the place where he last saw the old man with green eyes.
A pair of cold hands grabbed his ankles, and his body continued to sink.
The next moment, embers appeared again in the place full of graves.
He opened his eyes and looked around. It seemed that the weather here today was not very good. There were several blood-red clouds gathering in the sky, and the evil wind was blowing on the ground, making the embers and robes rustle.
Countless wind and sand flew along his cheeks, and Yi Yan had to squint his eyes and walk forward.
He walked to the middle of a pile of tombstones and looked at the pile of dead bones in front of him as high as a hill. After confirming that there was neither Yang Daoyi nor "embers", he tiptoed forward.
"Old man?"
The embers dug open the dead bones, and finally a ball of black hair was found in a cave inside the bone pile.
He called out doubtfully.
The black hair trembled slightly, and then an extremely weak face was revealed. The old man's face was covered with dust, his lips were pale, and a hint of excitement flashed through his green and cloudy eyes when he looked at the embers. After a short gap, he fell silent again.
.
"What else are you doing here?"
His voice was hoarse and weak, and he whispered.
"I'm going to Bianyin Village soon to perform a mission. There's something weird in there. What should I do?" Yu Jin told the old man his worries.
"Dead Infant Village?"
The old man muttered silently. He looked at the pile of bones in front of him and fell into deep thought. After a while, he spoke
"With your current body, if you continue to perform tasks, you will definitely not survive."
really!
He did not expect that Yi Yan had a dust-concealing talisman in his hand. In this case, most of what he said was true.
"However, I have a way." After a while, the old man seemed to have gleaned some secret from it, and he said in a slightly high tone.
"But you must remember every word I say next, otherwise you will not only die, but your soul will stay in the Dead Infant Village forever, and you will not be able to transcend."
