Chapter 115：

midnight.

Pei Qingzhi skillfully drove the car to hide in the woods not far from the construction site.

Tang Xi got out of the car and took a deep breath of the cool night air.

"Put it on." Pei Qingzhi handed her the coat.

Tang Xi took it and put it on the outside of the short-sleeved T-shirt, took out the phone and looked at it, the signal was only poor.

"The signal here was still good two days ago." Pei Qing said in surprise, "Don't you have to enter the rainforest for nearly ten kilometers to make communication difficult?"

"Because the ghost market is about to appear." Tang Xi looked at the time at 22:45 and explained, "The ghost market is a huge aggregate of Yin Qi, which will seriously affect the nearby magnetic field and cause communication interference. Don't forget, A little wolf demon in Luming Mountain can block and locate it."

While talking, two people walked over behind him.

The one in front is Ouyang Sheng. He is also surrounded by a 17-year-old boy who looks like a seventeen or eighteen year old, with a delicate baby face, smiling. If you don't look at the machete on his back, he is like a high school student.

"Minister Ouyang, why did you bring a child? It's too dangerous." Tang Xi disapproved.

"Sorry, I'm twenty-seven this year." The boy gritted his teeth and smiled without a smile. "Besides, you are a minor, what kind of psychology is it that you dare to dislike others when they are young?"

"Twenty-seven?" Tang Xi was horrified.

"Yes, he just has a tender face." Ouyang Sheng smiled bitterly, "Gu Ran, the leader of the PEI Southern Xinjiang Division Operations Team, is good at water spells and has a good melee combat ability."

Tang Xi immediately understood that this should be Ouyang Sheng's special preparation to deal with the fire-controlling Miao Hong.

"We have arranged a talisman array around this open space in advance." Ouyang Sheng said again, "Wen Lao's special invention, there will be no response before the input of spiritual power is activated, it is most suitable for ambush use, but the range is a bit wide, and it can't With great fanfare, the two of us rushed to work day and night, and the painting was completed half an hour ago."

"Oh." Tang Xi responded, speechless.

This was because she had posted the positioning early, and Ouyang Sheng had time to arrange this thing. I hope that, as he said, he won't be noticed before starting.

"It's you, it's too dangerous to let an ordinary person participate." Gu Ran glanced at Pei Qingzhi, dissatisfied.

"Wait for me here." Tang Xi ignored him, turned his head and whispered.

"Don't worry, it won't cause you trouble." Pei Qing smiled and curled her eyes.

"If..." Tang Xi couldn't help but exhorted again.

"You said it several times, I remember." Pei Qingzhi interrupted with a smile.

"Yeah." Tang Xi nodded, and walked toward the clearing first.

"Hey!" Gu Ran, who was ignored, became irritable.

"I think the baby face is pretty good." Tang Xi turned her head and said with a serious expression, "At least if the task is necessary, you can enter college and high school. Maybe there is no sense of disobedience in entering junior high school?"

"...Huh?" Gu Ran was messy in the wind.

"Puff—" Ouyang Sheng couldn't help laughing and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's almost time." Tang Xi looked at the phone and said, "We are all living people. If we want to enter the ghost market, we must pretend. Are you two ready?"

"No problem." Ouyang Sheng said immediately, "The sunshade can seal the yang energy of a living person within two hours, and will not let the ghosts detect abnormalities. Do you need it?"

"No." Tang Xi shook his head.

Most celestial masters like to use spells, but not every celestial master can draw special spells other than combat methods, at least she can't. And she least likes to entrust the key to success or failure to others, since it can't be solved with spells, then think of other ways. Therefore, regardless of the previous life or this life, what she valued most in signing a contract with Li Gui was never combat power, but an irreplaceable special ability.

Yunqi's resurrection and mind control, Xie Changan's memory coverage, peony's illusion.

Su Huang was used to make up for her melee ability that suddenly declined after changing her body.

During the conversation, the fog began to form in the dark.

"Here." Ouyang Sheng's nerves tightened instantly.

Almost at the same time, both he and Gu Ran took a piece of paper talisman on themselves.

Vaguely, the shadow of the bazaar was shown in the fog, and there were figures walking around. If it weren't for the eerie and weird in the middle of the night, it looked like an ordinary bazaar.

"Peony." Tang Xi clapped her hands, letting Peony put a layer of illusion on herself.

This technique is of course more stable than rune paper, and there is almost no time limit. However, rune paper is a means of public circulation after all, and illusion... too few people can use it to promote it.

Ouyang Sheng saw in his eyes, a hint of worry flashed across his face.

"Are you a ghost?" Gu Ran asked unceremoniously.

"That's it." Tang Xi responded indifferently, and glanced at him obliquely, "Don't worry, I won't be backlashed."

The words he was about to say were blocked, Gu Ran snorted angrily, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and headed for the ghost market first.

Tang Xi sneered, that's it, seventeen years old, no more!

"Sorry, before you appeared, Gu Ran was also a genius. It is inevitable to have arrogance and dissatisfaction." Ouyang Sheng said in a low voice, "but don't worry, he has a bad mouth, and his actions can still take care of the overall situation, and he is indeed very strong. ."

"You are very optimistic about him." Tang Xi thoughtfully.

"There is nothing major here in Southern Xinjiang. The headquarters has always wanted to transfer him elsewhere because he himself is unwilling to leave." Ouyang Sheng said.

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and said nothing.

She hadn't seen Gu Ran's battle yet, but she observed from her first impression that this man was much stronger than Fang Tianyun. As for Fang Tianchen, he is a supernatural power system, which is not a good comparison.

The ghosts coming and going in the ghost market did not seem to notice that there were three living people among them. The bargaining voices were ups and downs, and occasionally a few quarrels could be heard.

"Can you buy the things here?" Gu Ran asked.

"Yes. But most of the ghost markets are bartering, after all, Ming money is not universal." Ouyang Sheng said a joke.

Gu Ran shrugged helplessly.

Some treasures are really precious and wanted by the celestial master. If you can barter, he can't think of what a living person can exchange with ghosts.

"Ghost markets also have common currency, but common currency is more difficult to obtain, so bartering is more popular." Tang Xi said.

"Universal currency? What is it?" Ouyang Sheng asked in surprise.

Tang Xi smiled, picked up a horn that didn't know what animal it was from a booth, and held a light blue crystal ball in one hand.

The stall owner was a little demon, he couldn't even completely transform his human form, and he had a pair of furry pointed ears. He was originally lacking in interest, but when he saw the ball he became excited and grabbed it, his eyes seemed to shine. : "Miss, what else do you need? Look again?"

"No, I just think this corner is snowy and beautiful, suitable for decoration at home." Tang Xi smiled and stuffed the corner into his bag, waving goodbye.

"What you gave is spiritual power?" Gu Ran asked in surprise.

"The monsters and ghosts want to improve their strength. There are only two ways, one is grievance, and the other is spiritual power." Tang Xi explained as he walked, "The former is fast and can reach the sky in one step, but it is easy to lose your mind and has huge hidden dangers. The latter is slow in progress. , It also depends on the right time and place and chance. You may not have achieved success in thousands of years of cultivation, but the advantage is that you can walk in the sky and you won’t be struck by the sky one day."

"Humans are the easiest race to cultivate spiritual power. This is also the biggest reason why monsters have to transform into human forms." Gu Ran meditated, "So, the spiritual power of the heavenly master is a great supplement to the monsters and ghosts."

"Spiritual power is ever-changing, and it turns into a spell that can kill ghosts and monsters. However, the purest spiritual power is still a good thing for them." Tang Xi said, and swept a lot of good things from the stall next to it.

Gu Ran watched eagerly, but after thinking about it, he still didn't make a move after all, and the joyful eyes gradually settled.

"Not bad." Tang Xi nodded holding an amethyst bead, as if he liked it very much.

Ouyang Sheng followed behind and smiled.

He knew why Wang Ling wanted to train this little girl to become the heir of PEI. Although her personality was a little bit unique, it was not impossible to correct it. What's more, her original intention was to protect rather than despise. The most important thing is that he is so young, but he always plays the role of an elder, and he tests, raises points, and investigates in a calm manner without letting anyone notice it. This is a very good quality for the superiors.

Tang Xi glanced at him, and quickly shifted his gaze.

She just tried Ouyang Sheng's saying that "Gu Ran will take care of the overall situation" has some credibility.

They didn't make a special trip to visit the ghost market, knowing that there might be a big battle in a while, and if they are still here inexplicably consuming spiritual power, she will have to question the word "taking care of the overall situation". After all, no one is like her. The spiritual power is unimaginable, and he doesn't care about the consumption of such a little bit.

"I saw Miao Hong!" Gu Ran said suddenly.

Tang Xi turned his head, and she saw a red figure flashing past among the ghost buildings not far away.

"Chasing it?" Ouyang Sheng's voice was a bit dry.

Of course he wasn't afraid of Miao Hong, but this was a ghost market. The surrounding area was either a ghost or a monster. Once they did it, their identities as alive would definitely not be hidden. It would not be fun to be besieged by monsters and ghosts.

"Wait a minute, today is a good harvest, I will withdraw the ghost market first." Tang Xi said.

"Withdrawn? How to withdraw?" Ouyang Sheng glared at her.

"Simple." Tang Xi smiled and snapped his fingers, "Yun Qi, come out."

The next moment, Yun Qi appeared behind her, shocked Ouyang Sheng and Gu Ran, and the hair on their backs danced wildly.

This ghost...the pressure on his body is too heavy!

Yun Qi closed his eyes and opened them again. His long black hair and snow-white robe were windless, and the evil spirit and oppressive force that belonged to a thousand-year-old ghost were released unreservedly.

In an instant, the entire ghost market was in chaos. To describe it, it was like an urban management walking into an unlicensed street vendor gathering place to enforce the law.

"This..." Ouyang Sheng opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

"The ghosts of these days are remarkable for a hundred years. The little demon is not in human form. Who dares to carry Yunqi head-on." Tang Xi's face was calm.

"So why is there a thousand-year-old ghost next to you!" Gu Ran collapsed.

Bullying him less knowledgeable? It's not that he has never seen a celestial master who controls ghosts! A ghost that can control a hundred years is very powerful, and a thousand-year-old ghost is only in the legend.

Tang Xi blinked and thought about it, but still didn't tell him that there was actually more than a thousand-year-old ghost around her.

Xie Chang'an, as the impermanence of the prefecture, has definitely existed for more than a thousand years.

Miao Hong was indeed here to find demon blood, and finally found out that there might be a ghost market in Nanjiang City. She had been lurking here for more than a year before she found a ghost market. Who knew that there should be a ghost market for an hour, but it disappeared from the beginning. Signs up.

At the same time, she also felt the familiar pressure in the air, just like the one in the bar box that day.

"There!" someone shouted.

Miao Hong was startled and snatched a glass bottle on the stall, which contained three drops of demon blood, which was her goal.

With the things in hand, she doesn't have to fight the ugly little girl desperately, as long as she can escape, she will win!

"Gu Ran, stop her for three minutes!" Tang Xi shouted.

"Got it!" Gu Ran grabbed a handful of hair irritably. Although she was very upset with the tone of her command, she rushed over, took out the scimitar on her back, and slashed it over, blocking Miao Hong's path.

Miao Hong gave a "cut", waved his hand, and the long stick turned into flames held the knife.

However, what she didn't expect was that when the blade touched the flame, it made a "sizzling" sound, and the flame was actually suppressed in the white mist.

"Water?" Miao Hong stepped back and almost had a finger cut off before he could see the knife in Gu Ran's hand clearly.

Although the sharp blade is not very conspicuous in the night, you can still faintly see the traces of running water above it. This is... the person specially sent to target her!

For a while, she couldn't wait for the time to go back two days ago and kill that stinky girl!

No, it's better to kill Zhuang Shijie, who actually attracted such troublesome enemies. waste!

"Minister Ouyang, when the ghost city is completely evacuated, activate the Fu formation to leave Miao Hong behind." Tang Xi said calmly.

"Don't worry." Ouyang Sheng said, but stepped back a few steps.

"Su Huang." Tang Xi simply withdrew the magic spell on her body, and threw the most convenient thunder curse towards Miao Hong.

At this time, the little ghost who hadn't had time to escape next to him became even more soul-stirred.

Tianlei, for ghosts, is a nemesis!

Even Yunqi, looking at the lightning that illuminates the night sky, his face is not pretty.

Not afraid and hate are two different things.

"Tang Xi! Are you going to kill me!" Gu Ran jumped.

"I forgot." Tang Xi's expression was innocent.

She really forgot that there is water on Gu Ran's knife, and the water conducts electricity, and part of the thunder and lightning that came down passed along the water trail to Gu Ran, but fortunately not much. But this is also the experience that she has almost never joined forces with other celestial masters to fight the enemy. The only few times she has been with Fang Tianchen brothers and sisters, but the wind and fire of Fang family brothers and sisters are very good with the thunder attribute.

Miao Hong still had the glass bottle in one hand and didn't have time to put it away, only one hand was against the enemy, and he was in a hurry to protect the glass bottle.

Gu Ran was also tricky. Seeing this, his knives attacked the fragile glass bottle.

"Despicable and shameless!" Miao Hong was anxious.

"I'm a member of the country. I want to arrest you and bring you to justice. I don't want to discuss with you. There is no such thing as despicable." Gu Ran rolled his eyes and said sarcastically.

Miao Hong gritted his teeth, a flame temporarily forced him back, and then lowered his head to avoid Su Huang's claws, but a few blood marks were still caught on his face.

"How many ghosts did you bring?" Gu Ran subconsciously moved away from Su Huang.

It should be another one who applied illusion to her just now!

"Who knows." Tang Xi shrugged and took the last triangle position, enclosing Miao Hong in the middle.

To be honest, if you didn't want to live, you wouldn't need to be so troublesome.

"Have you forgotten something?" The flames burning all over Miao Hong suddenly went out.

"Huh?" Tang Xi tilted her head, dazed.

"She is a Miao girl!" Ouyang Sheng shouted from a distance.

"Well, what about the Miao people...you are a Gu Master!" Tang Xi's face changed abruptly in the middle of speaking.

"How is it possible?" Gu Ran retorted subconsciously, "She controls fire! Isn't the Gu raised by Gu Master afraid of fire?"

"So to deal with a fire-control celestial master, no one will send another fire-controller." Tang Xi said.

Gu Ran is of water attribute, but even if Fang Tianyun is much weaker than Gu Ran, it is better to use against Gu Master!

"Yes, although you can't use them at the same time, it's better to use them at critical moments." A weird smile appeared on Miao Hong's face. "Although the price is a bit higher, but...you guys, just bury the bones here! "

While speaking, only a buzzing sound was heard from all directions.

"Fu Zhen!" Tang Xi shouted, "Don't let the Gu worm fly out, otherwise Nanjiang City will become a dead city!"

Ouyang Sheng knew the weight and weight. He didn't care that the ghost city hadn't completely dissipated. He immediately activated the talisman formation. Suddenly, a burst of gold flickers in the air, connecting them to form a semicircular cover at a very fast speed, covering the entire open space.

Miao Hong froze for a while, bit her lip, but quickly relaxed again.

Even if it is a talisman formation, it must be maintained by human beings. As long as these three people are killed, the uncontrollable talisman formation will dissipate after the original spiritual power is exhausted.

Ouyang squatted deeply on the ground, one hand pressed the ground to conduct spiritual power, and a thin cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He knows better than Miao Hong. The reason why this talisman formation cannot be noticed in advance is because it does not have the slightest spiritual power, and it depends on artificial activation. In other words, if he dies or is unconscious, the talisman formation will immediately Invalidate.

Gu Ran's knife swung so far that only an afterimage could be seen. A lot of things fell in the air as if it was raining, but he didn't have time to shoot even if he fell on him. Using cold weapons to deal with extremely fine flying insects was too inefficient. . What's more, the fog was heavy in the night, and he couldn't see the trajectory of the insects at all.

Tang Xi didn't make a move, but stood beside Ouyang Sheng, protecting the two with spiritual power.

"Xiao Xi, there are too many bugs, and they can't kill them all." Su Huang said anxiously, "It's okay for us, but if a living person is parasitized, it will be gnawed away from the inside, leaving behind a pile of bones!"

When Gu Ran heard the words, his hands trembled, and the flaws were revealed in an instant.

Tang Xi let out a "tsk", and a sky-fire talisman struck him and burned a piece of Gu worm. The flame frightened away the Gu worm who was too close, making Gu Ran gasp.

"Xiao Tang, what should I do?" Ouyang Sheng asked subconsciously.

"I can burn these insects, but the sky is too dark and the area is too large. In case it is not clean, it will be a disaster to leave one." Tang Xi looked up at the dark night sky, calmly and honestly.

"Then you can't watch it, you can burn it first, then you can't say it!" Gu Ran rushed over, very frustrated.

In fact, he was brandishing a knife and hacking insects desperately, but the two of them seemed to be standing and watching the excitement, always feeling that their behavior was stupid.

"Yunqi, I need help." Tang Xi asked, "The target is too dense, can you guide it?"

"I want to say no?" Yun Qi asked coldly.

"Then I can only... keep burning until I make sure that no larva will be left behind." Tang Xi smiled helplessly, turning his hand over, holding a bright flame in the palm of her palm, setting off her face. Extra gentle.

"Finally, it's not'do everything, listen to the destiny'?" Yun Qi's tone seemed to be ironic, "You are really affected by Chu Li enough."

"Ah, he taught me that there is no destiny in this world, there are always things that I have to do at the cost of my life." Tang Xi blinked, her eyes calmed down, as if shining brightly under the fire light.

"Yes." Yun Qi spit out two words with a cold face.

"Say it earlier if you can." Tang Xi sighed and complained.

Yun Qi hummed coldly, with the guqin in his hand, and his fingertips moved across the body. For the first time, seven strings appeared on the guqin.

"Zheng Zhengzheng!" A hurried monophonic sounded, and gold lines stretched into the air centered on his piano, and began to branch and branch again halfway through. In just ten seconds, the space was densely covered with gold. The thread is full, countless thousands or even hundreds of millions, and it looks so spectacular that it doesn't look like a human scene.

"You..." A look of horror appeared on Miao Hong's face.

"Now." As soon as Yun Qi raised his head, he could see to the naked eye that his originally handsome face was covered with black lines, shaped like a ghost-even though he was originally a ghost.

Without hesitation, Tang Xi stretched out his hand to press on the guqin.

Suddenly, the flame spread along all the gold threads, and when each thread burned to the end, a ball of sparks exploded, and in the end even the talisman formation arranged by Ouyang Sheng burned.

In an instant, countless sparks fell from the sky, like a brilliant meteor shower, shocking people's hearts.

As the last golden thread burned out, the sky returned to darkness.

Yunqi turned into a streamer and quickly returned to the bracelet, leaving only one sentence: "Don't call me these days."

"Got it." Tang Xi held down the bracelet.

Yunqi's strength is only half of its heyday, it is indeed not easy to force such a complicated spiritual guidance, I am afraid that it will not be slowed down in a few months.

"Where is Miao Hong?" Gu Ran said immediately.

Fu Zhen was also burned, and Miao Hong could escape.

However, before he finished his voice, he heard a bright blue light flashing not far away—

"Ah~~~" Miao Hong let out a scream, half kneeling on the ground, the precious glass bottle fell to the ground, rolled twice, staying in front of a pair of leather shoes.

Pei Qingzhi bent down and picked up the glass bottle, his right hand holding the gun was stable without a trace of tremor, and the silver muzzle pointed at her forehead.

Miao Hong's chest smoked. It was not a bullet, but a spiritual power with water attributes. For her fire control, the damage was no less than a shot.

"You..." Gu Ran rushed over, dumbfounded.

"She is human and injured. If you want to escape, the most convenient way is to grab the car and won't run in other directions." Pei Qingzhi calmly said, "So, is there any problem?"

"..." Gu Ran helped his forehead, well, Tang Xi is a monster, and if he treats the monster's companion as an ordinary person, then he really has a problem!

"It went according to plan, and it went smoothly." Pei Qingzhi smiled at Tang Xi who came over.

There was a trace of fatigue on Tang Xi's face, but she still raised her hand and gave him a light blow: "Happy cooperation."
