Chapter 48 The Contest of Deception

Lin Yi listened to the bursts of thunder in the sky, and merged into the crowd of people eating melons, looking in the direction of the thunder.

The power of Tianpin's spell is indeed quite impressive, he just used one.

However, the moral conduct of these ghosts is not high, so many ghosts have only contributed twenty years of moral conduct to him.

Lin Yi doesn't like to hold grudges very much. He only holds grudges that cannot be resolved on the spot.

Thank you to Lei and thank you to Yu for coming at the right time and helping him cover up some traces. Otherwise, Lin Yi would be a little worried about being troubled by the organizers of the ghost market.

Of course, the worst case scenario would be to run away. When he decided to take action, he had even thought of an escape route after being exposed.

The situation is relatively optimistic now. It seems that no one noticed him and just watched the fun.

"Oh my god, I'm so scared."

Not far away, a ghost shivered. What ghosts are most afraid of is thunder. Not to mention that this thunder killed so many ghosts at once. It was scary to watch.

"Isn't that right? Those ghosts are screaming so much."

Listening to this, Ji Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart, is this a ghost from the north drifting to the south?

While he was eavesdropping, his eyes were darting around.

Sure enough, not long after, a small group of ghosts floated over, asked the onlookers what had just happened, and then left in a hurry. Seeing that there was no excitement anymore, the people and ghosts in the ghost market naturally dispersed.

Lin Yi goes with the flow and is no different from the masses.

Entering the archway of the ghost market, Ji Yi saw each stall. The sudden thunderstorm did not have much impact on the ghost market. The rainwater was blocked by an invisible barrier.

Lin Yi looked at each stall with great interest, expecting to see something weird.

Along the way, there were people selling charms, magic tools, and materials, which were all normal.

Finally, Ji Yi stopped in front of a stall selling books. The stall owner was wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat. His appearance was invisible, and his gender could not be distinguished.

Lin Yi stretched out his hand to see what kind of books there were. Before he could place his hand, a silver needle appeared in front of his finger. If Lin Yi moved any more, it would prick his hand.

Then came the hoarse voice of the stall owner: "Buy first, see later."

"If I don't take a look first, how will I know if it's suitable for me?"

Lin Yi felt that this person's business was outrageous. How could anyone sell books like this?

The stall owner was still cold and said: "Just pick one, you won't lose money."

So confident?

Lin Yi suddenly thought about it. This person looked a bit weird. He couldn't be an expert, right?

"How did you sell this book?"

"One copy costs two thousand, and the minimum price is ten copies."

Cheap!

Ji Yi was a little hesitant at first, but ten books only cost two taels of gold, and judging from the action of the stall owner pulling out the needle just now, he was a master.

Thinking of this, Ji Yi simply paid the money and randomly selected ten books. Because he couldn't see the cover, it felt like ten books in a row.

He quickly opened the first book, and the first page struck him as if he was struck by lightning.

It’s a picture, it’s a dark picture!

Ji Yi flipped through it quickly, and every few pages there would be a picture. He quickly opened other books, and it was the same.

The text descriptions other than the pictures are short pornographic articles.

Lin Yi was shocked on the spot.

"Is this what you said you won't lose?"

Fortunately, he inspected the goods on the spot, otherwise he would have no place to reason with this unscrupulous hawker if he ran away.

"Of course you are not at a loss. The book costing a thousand dollars does not have such beautiful illustrations."

Lin Yi: “…”

What you said makes so much sense, I am speechless.

"I don't need pornographic books, return them."

"You've already seen it, you can't go back."

Lin Yi: “…”

He understood, this time he encountered profiteers.

After spending four months’ salary to buy ten pornographic books, who the hell can withstand this?

Lin Yi was so angry that he began to reflect on himself. In the final analysis, it was because he was greedy. This stall owner took advantage of his mentality. He used his power and mystery to confuse Ji Yi and make him feel that the books here were

What a great thing, and the price is not too expensive.

He claimed to be a professional in vain, but he actually fell into a classic trap.

Ji Yi silently warned himself in his mind, probably because his cultivation level has improved recently and he has become more and more arrogant. This is not good.

He suffered this loss, but he could not admit this hatred.

Lin Yi silently picked up the remaining books and started reading them. Without exception, they were all pornographic books.

Obviously, this profiteer has something. He has deceived people, but the deception is not serious enough to make people have to have fits and fight with him endlessly.

For people who hang out in the ghost market, this little money is nothing.

Lin Yi quickly came to the conclusion that this profiteer was very sophisticated and a habitual offender.

But no matter how smart a person is, as long as he is greedy, he is not far away from being deceived.

Ji Yi read the books in front of the booth expressionlessly for a while. When he saw one of the books, he read at a slightly faster speed, with a trace of shock in his eyes. He quickly stopped and just held on to the book.

With a little more force on his hand, he briefly stretched out his free hand to hold the remaining unread book under his arm.

The stall owner couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Lin Yi's reaction.

What? Did you find a great painting?

"How many books do you have left here? I want them all."

"Um?"

The stall owner's head was filled with questions. He wanted to return the goods just now, but now he wants them all? He became suspicious.

"Return more than two hundred and eighty volumes. It was originally three hundred volumes, and you are the second guest."

The stall owner falsely reported the number in a hoarse voice, but in fact there were only two hundred and forty copies left.

What she was betting on was that Ji Yi couldn't count them one by one.

Sure enough, Lin Yi said eagerly: "Counting you three hundred copies, here are sixty taels of gold, take it."

As he spoke, he threw out an ingot of gold, then hurriedly opened the cloud bag, put books one by one inside, and left in a hurry after putting them away.

The stall owner weighed the gold ingot in his hand, which was obviously heavier than sixty taels. Watching Lin Yi's back disappear quickly, he felt uncomfortable.

I seem to have made a lot of money this time, why do I always feel like I’m losing money?

She couldn't help but recall Ji Yi's previous reaction in her mind, and she couldn't help but take a breath.

"It's not really anything, is it?"

There are more than two hundred books here, and of course it is impossible for her to read every one of them. Someone might have picked them up and missed them.

Seeing that Ji Yi left in such a hurry, it was as if he was afraid that she would no longer sell books...

"No, I can't bear such a big loss!"

The stall owner quickly walked into the shadows. After a moment, a pretty girl in purple clothes walked out of the shadows and walked in the direction where Ji Yi left before.

After the ghost market opens, no one is allowed to leave until it is over. This is also to prevent people participating in the ghost market from gathering information and turning around to report the place, attracting officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress it.

Of course, this was a concern in the past, but now almost no one is afraid of it, but the tradition is still preserved.

It is based on this that she is extremely confident.

"You can't run away. The person who can take advantage of my clothes has not been born yet!"
