Chapter 163 Accidentally Entering the Ghost Market
"I argued with him at first. I was not like that. I was still loved by many people. But reality slapped me hard in the face."
Lu Jingchen leaned against Shen Xiaxia and lifted up her clothes: "This is pointing to the jagged scar below the shoulder. It was bitten by a dog."
"You heard it right, it was the dog that ate it. Do you know why? Because that man only prepared one portion of food every day." Lu Jingchen chuckled, "To be precise, it should be dog food. Only one of the dog and I is destined to be full. I have to snatch food from the vicious dog's mouth every day."
Shen Xiaxia gently rubbed the scar with her fingertips, her heart trembling slightly. What on earth had this man been through? How did he survive?
He was only ten years old at that time!
"After a long time, I really can't tell whether I am a human or a dog."
Shen Xia Xia gently hugged Lu Jingchen from behind: "In this world, everything that can't kill us will only make us stronger."
The two of them embraced each other all night.
After breakfast, Shen Xia Xia rushed to the metaphysics studio.
Mr. Li from Mingyi Technology was banging on the door of the studio frantically with dark circles under his eyes.
Shen Xia Xia opened the door and saw that Mr. Li looked very tired, as if he had been dragged to some illegal kiln to work day and night for several nights.
As soon as he came in, he slumped down on the sofa like a deflated balloon: "Tired, so tired, so tired."
Shen Xiaxia frowned: "Has Palm Seal exploited you like this? Is there no one left in Mingyi Technology?"
Mr. Li shook his head with difficulty: "It's not Mr. Zhang, it's me. Master Shen, your calculations are too accurate. I really have a disaster, and it's a very strange one. I came here today to ask you to help me resolve it."
"What do you mean?" Shen Xia Xia said while making tea.
"I don't know what happened, but I went on a self-driving trip with my wife some time ago. We passed by a night market at night. There were a lot of delicious food and various stalls. We were starving, so we got off the car and went shopping with my wife. This night market was opened by a group of young guys."
"It's really delicious. I've never eaten such delicious food at a night market. I want to eat this and that. We ate at almost all the stalls and still felt unsatisfied."
"When checking out, I found that my wife and I had lost our wallets. They didn't accept online payments. When we were worried, the stall owner waved his hand and said, 'You can go. We won't accept any money.'"
"I was wondering how such a good thing could happen in this world. The young man said, don't worry, the food you eat today will not be in vain."
"I thought it was just a joke and didn't take it seriously. But after we came back, something strange happened. My wife and I would sleepwalk every night."
"We kept washing clothes. At first, we didn't realize it. We just felt sore in our backs every day. Until one day, my wife and I woke up on the floor. So we checked the surveillance camera and found that we were washing clothes every night. It was like we were possessed."
"At first I thought it was just sleepwalking and that I could just see a doctor and take some medicine, but later I found out it wasn't the case. I would wash clothes unconsciously at night. Who can stand this? My wife has been hospitalized and her symptoms are worse than mine. She's like someone whose yang energy has been sucked dry."
"The worst thing is that even in the hospital, my wife would still unconsciously sleepwalk every night and start working. The floor of the hospital was mopped clean by her. Then I remembered what the weird old man at the night market said. Don't worry, the food you eat today will not be in vain."
"But when I went back to look for the night market, there was no night market there. It was just a mass grave. I was so scared that I almost died on the spot."
Shen Xia Xia probably knew what was going on, and handed Mr. Li a cup of calming tea: "You have encountered a ghost market."
"Ghost market?"
"Well, there are human markets and ghost markets. The mass grave is originally a place with extremely heavy yin energy. In addition, you and your wife are starving, your popularity has been damaged, and you can't wait to eat. At the most yin time, it is easy for you to break into the ghost market."
"Then, then, then...our food..." Mr. Li felt sick when he thought of the food they ate at the night market. He couldn't stop trembling all over. "It can't be maggots, earthworms or something like that. That's how it's played on TV."
Shen Xia Xia smiled and said, "That's not the case. Just like the ghosts in the underworld absorb the essence of the food when they eat the food in the mortal world, you are also eating ghost energy when you eat the food in the underworld, which means you will vomit and have diarrhea, feel uncomfortable, and your yang energy will be damaged, and you will be entangled by yin energy."
"That's all?" Mr. Li's eyes widened. "That's all."
"Isn't it much better than eating earthworms and maggots as you said?" Shen Xia Xia asked back.
"That's right." Mr. Li lowered his head and said, "Master Shen, what should we do now? We will die if we continue like this. Even robots will break down if we work twenty hours a day without a break."
Shen Xia Xia took a sip of tea and said, "To untie the bell, we need to find the person who tied it. We need to go to the ghost market and find those guys and let them remove the ghost curse from you."
"There is no such thing as a free lunch. Don't eat carelessly, or you may die next time!"
Mr. Li was frightened by Shen Xia Xia's words and nodded repeatedly: "I won't dare to do that again. I don't even dare to send me food. So when are we going?"
Shen Xia Xia shook her head: "I won't go, go find another master."
She is pregnant now, and the eyes behind her are still staring at her child. Going to such a gloomy place as a mass grave is not good for the fetus.
Mr. Li looked embarrassed: "But where can I find them? They are all charlatans, and by the time I find them, I'm afraid we will be exhausted to death."
"I'll give you money, Master Shen!"
Shen Xia Xia shook her head: "I'm not short of money now."
She has saved enough money to buy the magic weapon, and her husband is the seal holder!
There is already too much money to spend.
"What do I need, Master Shen, to help me?" Boss Li almost knelt down before her: "Just treat it as helping the world and accumulating merits."
Accumulate merit.
This was tempting to Shen Xia Xia. She touched her belly and thought that doing good deeds and accumulating merits while pregnant could also be considered as saving blessings for the child.
The child's fate and destiny will be better in the future.
Shen Xia Xia was a little embarrassed. What if such a serious injury affected the fetus?
At this moment, Ah Hao walked in with an exquisite bag: "Ms. Shen, this is what the president asked you to bring."
Shen Xia Xia took it out curiously.
Golden brocade dress.
It's just a golden robe with a special magnetic field that can resist the invasion of all evil spirits.
It's like anti-radiation clothing, but this one is for protection against ghosts.
I have to say that these strange inventions like palm prints are quite useful.
With this dress, Shen Xia Xia agreed without hesitation: "Okay, Mr. Li, I will go with you, but I have one condition."
"What conditions?"
