Chapter 117 The Old Man
After Li Yi set a goal, he acted very decisively and did things without any hesitation.

They hurried along the way, not caring even if some strange people were staring at them.

Once he buys the mud horse, Li Yi will immediately take Zhao Qian to ride on the mud horse and leave Ghost Street. Now time is tight and there can be no delay.

soon.

A familiar street appeared in front of Li Yi.

"This is it, the place where I bought the coffin and mud horse last time." Li Yi quickly walked into the street.

Here, as before, there were many strange people, who were sitting, standing, or lying on the roadside without saying a word, with many goods for sale in front of them. These goods were also varied, some selling paper figures, paper clothes, some selling coffins, spirit tablets, and some selling funeral objects.
Li Yi walked a short distance down this street.

He found a familiar stall.

It was a lifeless and skinny old man, who sat cross-legged in front of his stall with his head bowed. He seemed to be asleep, or as if he had been dead for many days. There was no trace of living breath, and his body gave off a faint stench, like a dead body. However, there were some goods placed in front of his stall.
Compared with last time, these goods have changed a lot.

Li Yi stood in front of the stall, his eyes constantly searching.

"What item are you looking at?" The old man's low and hoarse voice sounded, which showed that he was not dead but still alive.

"??"

Li Yi looked strange under the hood and stared at the old man with his eyes.

Was I just scolded?

"I'm looking for a mud horse." Li Yi said immediately.

"All the damn horses are sold out." The skinny old man raised his head slightly, looked around with his cloudy eyes, and seemed to recognize Li Yi.

After all, there is only one person who dares to spend sixty years of his life to buy coffin wine. It is hard not to have an impression of him. I just don’t know what’s going on. The eighty years of life he earned last time have not been redeemed yet. Could it be that the ghost soldiers and generals did not collect the life span from this young man?

But the matter of collecting birthday gifts had nothing to do with him and he couldn’t do anything about it.

"What? The mud horse is gone?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment: "I want to buy another mud horse. When will the mud horse be available for sale? I will come next time."

"There won't be a next time either." The skinny old man said suddenly.

Li Yi's expression changed.

If he cannot buy the Yin horse, the next time he returns to Guijie from Xingzhou, he will have no mud horse to use, and he will not be able to return to Tianchang City, which means he will be trapped in Xingzhou.

This is not good news.

"Forget it, I'll go look somewhere else." Li Yi didn't want to waste time, so he immediately set off to leave.

"Wait." Suddenly, the skinny old man called Li Yi.

"What's wrong?" Li Yi stopped and turned around.

The skinny old man moved a little at this time, revealing a faded wooden box behind him. Then he slowly opened the box and took out a pony made of mud again.

Li Yi had sharp eyes and he glanced over and saw many mud horses placed in the box.

Depend on.

I almost got scammed. I thought this old thing really had no more to sell, but I didn't expect there were a lot of them hidden behind it, just like a wholesale business.

He even suspected that the old man could make the clay horse himself.

"Old rules, ten years of life." The skinny old man said suddenly.

Li Yi immediately turned back again: "Didn't you say you didn't have any before?"

"Things are valuable because they are rare. If I sell too many, the clay horse in my hand will be worthless. Do you understand that a steady stream of income is worth a lot?" The skinny old man said and took out a piece of white talisman paper. "You are a regular customer, so I don't need to say more. Sign here and take this item."

Li Yi bit his finger and signed: "I don't understand what is a long-term relationship. I only know that you are using hunger marketing."

"Since you pay so quickly, I'll give you a 10% discount next time you come." The skinny old man said, "But I see you don't have much time left, I don't know if I'll have a chance to do business with you again."

If he remembered correctly, Li Yi's life span was 150 years, and now less than half of that was left.

"Don't worry, I'm a cultivator and I can live forever. It's no problem for me to buy all your stalls." Li Yi said, "I'm worried about you. You're old and it looks like you won't live for many more years. If you're dying one day, remember to tell me so I can buy a few mud horses in advance so I can find a place to buy them later."

"If I die, someone will inherit my stall. My craft will not be lost, so you can rest assured." The skinny old man twitched his mouth and glanced at Li Yi with his turbid eyes.

"That's good. Next time I'll buy more mud horses. Don't refuse to sell them then."

After Li Yi got the mud horse, he didn't have time to continue chatting with the old man. He just pulled Zhao Qian and left quickly.

After watching Li Yi leave, the old man returned to his previous state, sitting cross-legged in front of the stall with his head lowered, looking lifeless.

Li Yi returned to the main road of Ghost Street again. He and Zhao Qian did not walk far, but immediately found a relatively safe place to stop, and then immediately took out a mud horse and put it on the ground. "Drop a few drops of blood on it, and the mud horse will turn into a mud horse and take us back to the master."

Zhao Qian nodded, bit her finger, and dripped blood onto the mud horse.

soon.

A familiar yet bizarre scene appeared.

After the mud horse was nourished by the blood, it immediately changed. A gust of black wind suddenly blew up around it, swirling around the mud horse, as if forming a small tornado. In this black wind, the neighing of the fierce horse was heard.

A strong and sturdy horse made of mud appeared before our eyes.

The fierce horse's breath sprayed out black air, which was extremely eerie.

Li Yi jumped onto the Yin horse and stretched out his hand, saying, "Miss Zhao, let's go and save Master."

Zhao Qian stretched out her hand and was immediately pulled onto the horse.

Li Yi protected it in front of him, then held on to the Yinma tightly to prevent himself from falling off when the ride was bumpy.

The two were just getting ready.

The Yin Horse raised its hooves and neighed, then rushed out like a violent beast, rampaging through the Ghost Street all the way, not shying away from the wronged souls and evil spirits wandering on the road. Some of the evil ghosts were even unlucky and were knocked flying by the Yin Horse.

Seeing this scene, Li Yi understood a little.

Why is it so expensive that it takes ten years of one's life to make one?

It turns out that this thing can not only send people back to their loved ones, but can also be used as a mount to knock away evil spirits.

"So fast."

Zhao Qian was shocked at this moment. She felt that the scenery around her was madly receding, her vision was blurred, and the whole person seemed to be flying in the clouds. Just as she reacted, she saw that she was about to leave the ghost street.

"The Yin Ma's speed is astonishingly fast. I hope everything goes well and they don't collapse halfway like last time." Li Yi said to himself, feeling a little nervous.

This time, I really have to leave the familiar city and head to an unknown world.

As the Yin horse gallops.

After a while, Li Yi and Zhao Qian had completely walked out of the ghost street, but the surrounding scenery was no longer the familiar high-rise buildings, but an open, dark wilderness. There was no end to this wilderness, extending to the distant horizon, and an unfamiliar starry sky appeared above their heads.

The starry sky was shining brightly, and two pale red moons were hanging high in the sky, one on the left and one on the right, looking a little strange.

Li Yi looked up slightly, his heart beating fast.

really.

I have successfully arrived at a strange place, which is no longer part of the earth.

"Since I'm already prepared to come to Xingzhou, then there's nothing to worry about. My parents at home have relatives to help take care of them. The nutrient solution I left behind is enough for several months. I will go back after I finish dealing with this matter with my master." Li Yi said to himself.

"Brother Yi, I'm in Xingzhou. I passed by here when I was escaping with my father." Zhao Qian's voice came from in front of Li Yi, and she was a little excited.

It all seemed unreal. She really went with Brother Yi on a Yin horse to look for her father.

Li Yi felt a little depressed at the moment. Thinking that this was no longer a ghost street, he immediately took off his human skin hood and carefully put it into his backpack. He then asked, "Are you sure this is the direction that Master escaped from before?"

"Yes, I remember it very clearly. We dug a hole here and took a short rest." Zhao Qian said confidently.

"That's right. The Yin Horse will follow your loved ones. The direction is right, which means that Master is still alive and has not died. It seems that my previous idea was correct. And with the speed of the Yin Horse, we will be able to see Master soon. However, considering the existence of the enemy, we must be fully prepared before that." Li Yi said seriously.

"Yes." Zhao Qian clenched her fists, ready to fight.

Li Yi noticed another detail at this moment.

The Yin Horse was running in the wilderness, and there was no sign of damage to its body.

This is completely different from when we first returned to the danger zone.

In the danger zone, the Yin Horse's body will be damaged every time it runs a certain distance. Large chunks of mud will fall off the horse, and in the end it will no longer be able to support itself and will collapse.

"Oh, now I remember that our world is polluted, and the wronged spirits and evil ghosts can't survive normally. The mud horse is a Yin horse, which should also be a kind of ghost. So once it leaves the ghost street and enters the danger zone, it will be polluted by the earth, so it will be damaged and disintegrated, which made me think that the Yin horse is just a disposable item."

At this moment, Li Yi finally understood what the Yinma was all about.

He had no experience and didn't understand much before, so he didn't think about pollution. Now that the Yin Ma is running on the land of Xingzhou, after comparing the two, he finally found the real reason.

As expected, you learn as you live. With more experience, you will naturally understand more.
