Chapter 448: The Elf's Good Ghost Card
"Chu Yi! Where did you go just now? Humph! You didn't even take me with you!"
After Chu Yi finished telling the story about the six realms of reincarnation, he leisurely returned to the Fuyun Ghost Market. At this time, the ghost vendors who used stories to trade candied haws had only finished exchanging most of them, so the actual time spent was not that long.
But even so, it still caused dissatisfaction from a certain sword master. The little guy had heard a very interesting ghost story and was excited to share his thoughts and insights with Chu Yi, but in the end he couldn't find Chu Yi.
After learning what happened from his favorite girl Fu Fu, the little guy became very unhappy. As soon as Chu Yi returned, the Sword Saint Xilin came running to question him.
The little guy put his little hands on his waist. Even though he had just eaten candied haws and listened to many interesting stories, he couldn't get angry at all. But he still had to show his attitude, otherwise Chu Yi would not take him out to play in the future. What would happen then?
"Ouch~! Stop rubbing against me~, hehe~!"
Chu Yi's solution to this was very simple. Although the little guy kept shouting "don't rub", Chu Yi didn't actually take the initiative. The whole time, it was Sword Saint Xilin who kept sticking to his face and wouldn't let go as long as he held on to her!
Elder Fu Fu, who was standing by, covered her mouth and laughed non-stop, and even the corners of her goddess' mouth were curved into a touching arc.
"Wow~! Chu Yi, I like you the most~!"
The plan to bring an army to question Chu Yi was just a cover. From the moment she saw Chu Yi, Sword Saint Xilin had forgotten all about it. The little girl knew very well that this candied haws stall was actually set up by someone specially for her!
After rubbing enough and acting coquettishly enough, the little guy gave Chu Yi a kiss on the face, then continued to listen to ghost stories while humming a little tune.
As soon as Xilin left, Chu Yi's arms were immediately occupied. Elder Fu Fu and the Goddess were on his left and right, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding.
"Come on, let's go over and listen."
Chu Yi smiled. Elder Fu Fu and the Goddess would naturally have no objection to this. The ghost who was telling the story vividly at this moment was actually telling a bizarre and terrifying ghost story.
It is a rare thing for a ghost to tell a ghost story. Seeing Chu Yi coming over, Shaoyao's big round eyes moved, and then she pretended to be scared and threw herself into Chu Yi's arms.
This set a bad precedent. The little kids who had been listening with great interest felt that the story told by the ghost was too scary, so they all went to seek comfort from the deputy elder. It didn't matter if the deputy elder couldn't hang on to anything, because Fu Fu and the Goddess beside him provided just as warm embrace!
This actually excited the ghost telling the ghost story, and his previous frustration was swept away.
The performance of the elves before made the ghost who was telling the story so hard think that he was telling a funny story instead of a ghost story.
That's right, the ghost thought so and immediately started to tell the story more enthusiastically.
The Fuyun Ghost Market has become lively again. The ghost vendors who got the candied haws are no longer in a hurry to set up their stalls. The sweetness that is better than first love reminds them of the long-forgotten past. They don't despise it, but sit in a circle a little further away, listening to human stories that have no connection with them anymore, while savoring the candied haws in their hands.
Except for the first bite, most of the ghost vendors cherish the string of candied haws in their hands very much. They just hold it in their hands and wait for a long time before carefully licking it.
In fact, if Chu Yi made an offer and asked every ghost vendor to give up all his wealth, or even a more expensive price, in exchange for a string or even a single candied haws, most of the ghost vendors would agree.
Fuyun Ghost Market is a place isolated from the human world. They have become a part of Fuyun Ghost Market. The price of their existence is that they can never return to the noisy human world.
The full moon was shining brightly in the sky. People, ghosts and elves sat together, eating candied haws and listening to stories that were either bizarre and absurd, humorous and interesting, or heartwarming and touching. The scene seemed particularly harmonious.
But every story has an end. As the last string of candied haws is given, the story of Chu Yi and his friends will continue.
It is not yet time to explore the true secrets of Fuyun Ghost Market, and the entrance fee given by Chu Yi is not enough for them to stay here for a while.
The most excited person when stepping out of Fuyun Ghost Market was the unknown Huoxuzi. There was no concept of time in Fuyun Ghost Market. The moon was shining brightly here and it would always be a full moon. Huoxuzi himself could not remember how long he had been trapped in Fuyun Ghost Market.
The horse-faced guard who was sitting on the boulder stood up silently and struggled to close the gate of Ghost Market. The heavy and distant creaking sound rang out again. For a long time, no outsiders would visit here.
No, Chu Yi’s story of the six realms of reincarnation has already been told. It is hard to say whether there will be a Fuyun Ghost Market in the future.
Walking through the remote and silent ghost bamboo forest, Xiao Xi, who was emitting a hazy white light that illuminated the darkness in front of her, was chatting with Xilin while secretly taking the time to glance at Chu Yi.
It was as if there was something that was difficult to talk about.
Without the soul-guiding lamp, most of the creatures in the Tiangu Realm would be lost in the boundless darkness. This is why Huoxuzi did not dare to leave the Fuyun Ghost Market alone. With the guidance of the soul-guiding lamp, it is actually not difficult to walk out of here.
It seemed that they had not walked for long before a familiar tombstone appeared in front of Chu Yi and the others.
The petite headless figure walked out from the tombstone, the lantern returned to its place, and the white bamboo joint in Funi's hand instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated.
"Sir, how was Xiaoxi's service?"
The little girl came to Chu Yi with her hands behind her back, jumping and skipping. The surrounding scenery had begun to blur and distort, and there was not much time left to say goodbye.
"Well, I'll look for Xiaoxi next time."
Chu Yi smiled slightly. It was not difficult to guess what the little girl was thinking.
"Master, can you touch Xiaoxi again?"
Time seemed to be running out, so Xiao Xi no longer hesitated. She put her hands behind her back and looked at Chu Yi shyly, drawing circles on the ground with her toes. These words seemed to be easy to cause misunderstanding, but in fact, what the little girl wanted was just a pat on the head.
Chu Yi didn't say anything. He squatted down, hugged Xiao Xi in his arms, and gently touched the little girl's head while she looked surprised.
"We'll see you soon."
The hug didn't last too long, but the warmth that Xiaoxi hadn't felt for a long time was engraved in her heart.
"And me! Xiaoxi, you're a good ghost, Xilin will miss you!"
Xilin squeezed over, presented the Good Ghost Card, and chattered to show her presence. Xiaoxi smiled happily, didn't say anything, just nodded heavily.
The next moment, the view changed, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, but the night sky of the Fuyun Mountains was still beautiful.
