Chapter four hundred and thirty first old tree mother-in-law
The boss said with some respect, then paused slightly: "The small town outside was not able to enter this ghost market because of insufficient time limits of the jade talisman or other reasons. Because there was no protection from the Nightmare Dragon King, most of the places were just buying and selling some not-too-very precious things."
"There are most monsters there during the day. After the sun sets at night, the ghosts all ran out again. The yin energy is very heavy. I guess this little girl was hit when she went out..."
She said, blinking at the two of them: "But what else do you don't understand?"
Wen Bingyan nodded thoughtfully: "So that's it, thank you sister..."
Although she didn't quite understand how powerful the so-called Nightmare Dragon King was, since she was called the Ghost King and could also establish such a completely safe place in places with many demons and ghosts, her strength was already evident.
The boss lady curiously said, "Since you understand, it's my turn to ask you. Why do you two mortals take the risk of coming here?"
Wen Bingyan hesitated for a moment and answered honestly: "To be honest, we are here to buy food!"
"Food?" The boss's wife looked surprised. She didn't expect that there would be such a situation, "Do you buy the kind of food you humans eat?"
"Yes, I wonder if my sister knows where to sell it here?" Wen Bingyan was quite anxious. After all, time doesn't wait for anyone.
However, what disappointed her was that the boss's wife shook her head: "This... if you say something like magic weapons and pills, I can guide you, but I have never seen this food before. Even the ones in my inn were just taken from the world myself."
After all, it is said that this is a place for ghosts and monsters, and there are countless treasures in various heaven and earth. Who would have nothing to do to stock up on the food of the human race who is worthless?
And just when she was disappointed, the boss's wife seemed to remember something, and her eyebrows showed joy: "By the way, if there is really food for sale, maybe there will be one in that place!"
The boss's wife is indeed quite kind-hearted. She probably felt that the two of them had a fate when they met, so she did not leave them alone. Instead, she took them to a quiet and deserted pavilion. The plaque hanging high in front of the door had a few big words: "Cuizhilou".
"This is a shop opened by a grandmother-in-law with a high level of cultivation. It specializes in selling all kinds of strange flowers and fruits, from giant trees to weeds on the roadside. If you say that there may be food in this ghost market, it may be here."
As he said that, the proprietress gently stepped forward and pushed open the door, walked in, and Wen Bingyan and his servant hurriedly followed.
After stepping into this place, it suddenly gave people the feeling of entering a brand new world, isolating the noise and noise behind them, and only smelling a refreshing and strange fragrance of flowers, which quickly calmed down their originally uneasy and impatient mood, leaving only a piece of peace in their mother's arms.
The door behind him closed automatically without movement. Although he lost the light source from the outside world, the room emitted a soft light, allowing people to clearly see everything in front of him.
There is only an independent and spacious huge space in this pavilion, which is carefully planted by the owner.
At this moment, the few people seemed to be in a sea of colorful flowers, with beautiful flowers beside their feet. At first glance, there was an extremely tall tree in the distance, and this endless sea of flowers seemed to be growing vigorously around this big tree!
Moreover, it is clearly close to winter, but the flowers of each season are blooming here in surprise, and the branches and leaves are swaying slightly without wind. When you reach out and want to touch them, you will slightly deviate and avoid it, just as every flower here has its own independent consciousness, which is quite strange.
The boss's wife smiled and reminded: "Be careful not to touch the petals. The flowers here are all treasures of the ancient tree mother-in-law. If they are accidentally broken, you two may be in trouble too!"
As soon as these words came out, the maid behind her who was about to bend down and tease these flowers carefully was so scared that she almost jumped up from the ground immediately. Although she looked at them with a little yearning, she never dared to reach out again, for fear that if she removed some petals, some parts of her body would also be broken.
And at this moment, a somewhat old female voice rang from a distance: "Juan'er, are you back?"
As soon as the voice came out, Wen Bingyan looked up at the big tree in the center of the room in surprise. He saw a soft green light beginning to emit from the big tree. Slowly, the light began to shrink, and it slowly dissipated after shrinking to a human form.
The last one to appear in front of the few people was an elderly old woman, dressed simply, no different from an ordinary old man. She was tied with a bun between her white hair and was slightly hunched, making her look a little thin. She was leaning on a crutch carved with some mysterious patterns in her hand, and was slowly walking towards the few people.
However, the two people who have seen the scene just now dared not regard each other as an ordinary old woman.
The voice of Juan'er was obviously calling the boss's wife. At this moment, she greeted her enthusiastically, hugged the ancient tree grandma's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mother-in-law, I miss you so much when I have been outside these two days. I am thinking about you all the time, so I will bring you back a business."
"Oh? Business?" Grandma Gu Shu's eyes fell on Wen Bingyan's master and servant, with a little curious meaning, "I wonder what you two want to buy?"
"We want to buy food!" Wen Bingyan had been waiting for a long time and finally blurted out, "It's the food we humans eat!"
"Food?" Grandma Gu Shu was also a little surprised at this answer. She tapped the ground with a crutch, as if she was thinking about something. After a long time, she asked in a deep voice, "There are countless rare treasures in this ghost market. Why do you want to buy this thing?"
"To be honest, it's because a big famine happened in my hometown..."
Wen Bingyan pondered for a moment, and carefully explained the reason for the matter with a sad expression, and finally sincerely asked: "The countless lives are still waiting for the rescue of food, so please help my mother-in-law!"
After she finished speaking, the boss's wife looked at her and couldn't help but show some sympathy. Although she was a monster, she also had a kind heart.
But Grandma Gu Shu did not agree immediately, but thought for a while and suddenly asked: "If you two mortals know about this place, I'm afraid someone is guided by someone? I wonder who told you?"
