At the top of the shop stood two human-shaped statues. One statue was dressed in white, tall and thin, with a pale complexion and a long tongue sticking out of his mouth. On his head, he wore a white pointed official's hat with the words "Wealth at First Sight" written on it.
The other statue was dressed in a black robe, with a fierce face and a broad body. On his head, he also wore a similar black official's hat with the words "World Peace" written on it.
Below the statue was a four-story building with white walls and jade tiles. The entrance was unusually wide, more than three times the size of the shops nearby. A large plaque with red words on a silver background hung above the building, with the words "Impermanence Pavilion" written on it.
Many ghosts went in and out of Impermanence Pavilion's entrance. Not to mention those that went in, those that came out had a smile on their faces. Obviously, they had a great harvest inside.
"Impermanence Pavilion, from the name, could it be a shop opened by two Impermanences?" Shen Luo looked at the two statues on the roof and asked.
"This old man doesn't know. Some say it is, some say it isn't. Who knows! In short, don't cause trouble when you go inside to buy things. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you. "The old man shook his head and said.
"Thank you for your reminder." Shen Luo's mind turned. He thanked the old man and walked out of the shop.
However, he didn't immediately go to Impermanence Pavilion. Instead, he first looked around.
He had seen several pill shops before. The pills for breaking through to the Qi Refining stage were very expensive, easily thirty to forty pieces of Immortal Jade. The pills for the fasting stage were certainly more expensive. The Immortal Jade he had on him wasn't enough, so he needed to sell some of his things to raise some money.
Shen Luo's line of sight suddenly fell on a small grocery store in the distance. The plaque above the grocery store read: "Nameless Shop" written in large, crooked letters.
"Nameless Shop … Wasn't that the place that kid called Yu Guan told me to go? There really is such a shop in the Ghost City! Could it be that the kid and the owner of this shop are colluding with each other to cheat? "He recalled the words that the kid had said to him, and his mind churned.
However, the feeling that the kid gave him was somewhat unfathomable. He didn't seem like a swindler.
His expression changed. After weighing the pros and cons for a while, he finally walked over.
The shop wasn't big, but the furnishings inside matched the name "Nameless Wild Inn" very well. The furnishings were messy, and there were two rows of shelves on both sides of the shop that was about thirty to forty feet wide. Many things were displayed in a mess on the shelves, and they weren't sorted properly.
The bottom two layers of the shelves were covered with dust, and it looked like they hadn't been cleaned for a long time.
There was no one else in the shop at the moment. A dark-skinned ghost sat behind the counter.
The ghost was short and wore a grey coat. On its head was a tall hat that was covered in dust. It looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time.
"In the south there is the Black Wood, the Tree of Gretel. Happiness belongs to the nobleman, fortune follows suit … "The greenish-black ghost held a book in its hands and was reciting while swaying its head from side to side. It looked like a bookworm and did not notice Shen Luo who had entered.
Shen Luo glanced at the book. It turned out to be the Book of Songs in the human world. He couldn't help but laugh.
He coughed, but the ghost was still immersed in the Book of Songs. He knocked on the counter and shouted.
"Shopkeeper."
"Ah, sorry, sorry. I was reading happily and forgot myself for a moment. I neglected the important guest. This one is a nameless ghost. I am the shopkeeper of this shop. What does this guest want to buy? "The greenish-black ghost hurriedly put down the book and asked with a smile on its face.
"A nameless ghost? A nameless shop. It's a good match. "Shen Luo chuckled. He didn't immediately talk about business. He wandered around the shop.
"I've made a fool of myself. It's not that this one doesn't want to tell you my name, but I really can't remember. I can only call myself a nameless ghost." The nameless ghost didn't get angry and followed behind Shen Luo.
Shen Luo quickly looked around the shop carefully, but he didn't find anything out of the ordinary. As for the shopkeeper behind him, who claimed to be a nameless ghost, he seemed to be just an ordinary ghost. His cultivation level was at most at the early stage of Inedia.
He couldn't help but frown. Why did that child ask him to come here?
Shen Luo muttered to himself for a moment and quickly stopped thinking about it.
He turned around and asked, "I don't want to buy anything. Does your shop accept magic tools?"
"Magic tools! This small shop naturally accepts them. What do you want to sell? "The nameless ghost's face lit up and he immediately said.
Shen Luo reached into his clothes and fumbled around in the stone box. He took out a golden Demon Subduing Pestle. It was the Asura Puppet Ghost's weapon.
This Demon Subduing Pestle had definitely reached the level of a magic tool. Whether it was the material or the grade, it was far superior to his Ghost Howl Bracelet.
He originally planned to keep it for his own use in the future. However, in this situation, he could only sell it.
"Your Excellency, please take a look at this magic tool of mine …" Shen Luo said.
Before he could finish his words, a clanging sound rang out, interrupting his words.
A green bamboo tube fell from his clothes and rolled a few times on the ground. It was the bamboo tube that was placed in the stone box together with the Heavenly Book.
Shen Luo frowned slightly. He reckoned that when he reached into the stone box and took out the Demon Subduing Pestle, he scraped this item out along with it. He bent down and picked up the bamboo tube. He casually stuffed it into his clothes and then placed the Demon Subduing Pestle on the counter.
However, the nameless ghost didn't take the Demon Subduing Pestle. He stared blankly at the green bamboo tube in Shen Luo's clothes. Half of it was exposed.
"Shopkeeper?" Shen Luo saw this scene and said with a flicker of his eyes.
The nameless ghost's body shook and he came back to his senses.
The nameless ghost raised his hand and pointed at the bamboo tube in Shen Luo's clothes. His face was full of expectation. "I'm sorry. I forgot myself for a moment. However, could you let me take a look at this bamboo tube?"
Shen Luo thought for a moment, then took out the bamboo tube and handed it over.
Soul Hooking Horse-Face said that fighting was prohibited in the Ghost City, so the shopkeeper wouldn't dare to rob him. Moreover, it would be a good thing if he could figure out the origin of this bamboo tube.
"Thank you, thank you." The nameless ghost happily took it and carefully examined it. His thin fingers gently stroked the top of the bamboo tube, gently tapping it. He appeared to be very careful.
But as time passed, his brows gradually wrinkled, as if he had encountered something difficult to understand.
"How could this be? Could it be that I guessed wrong? "He muttered to himself. After a moment of silence, he bent his finger.
A black light flew out and hit the bamboo tube. It immediately sank into it.
The nameless ghost's face revealed a hint of joy. His finger tapped again, and a thick black light continued to pour out, continuously entering the bamboo tube.
The originally emerald green bamboo tube slowly turned black, and then it quickly spread. In a few breaths, the emerald green bamboo tube turned into a pitch-black ink bamboo. There were even some red spots on it.
"Sure enough, it's the Yellow Springs Bamboo!" The nameless ghost stopped pouring the black light. Looking at the ink bamboo in his hand, he said excitedly.
At this moment, the red spots on the surface of the bamboo tube suddenly lit up. The black gas from the nameless ghost's hands immediately rushed out. Like a flood opening a dam, it all poured into the bamboo tube.
"Ah!" The nameless ghost's complexion changed. He let out a low shout, and threw the bamboo tube away as if he was avoiding a snake. The black gas gushing out of his hands stopped.
The bamboo tube fell to the ground, rolled twice, and soon stopped moving. The red spots on it flashed a few times, and then slowly dimmed.
Then the black color on the bamboo tube also quickly faded. After a few breaths, it turned back into an emerald green color.
