The figure in gray robe suddenly stopped, his eyes under the mask shot out two cold blade-like rays, looked over at Shen Luo, and shouted in a deep voice, but it was a hoarse manly voice.
Shen Luo was secretly shocked. Before he came over, for the sake of caution, he had applied a potion that could eliminate the smell on his body, and he had already held his breath. The distance between the two parties was more than ten feet away, but he was still discovered by the other party.
If the two of them were to change places, he thought he might not be able to find each other.
"Sneaking is out of the question, I just got here earlier." Shen Luo's mind turned and he walked out calmly, saying in a hoarse voice.
The other party is wearing a ghost face mask, and most likely he is going to Ghost Market. We will meet him sooner or later, but there is no need to hide.
"Are you going to Ghost Market too?" The figure in gray robe looked slightly surprised when he saw the mask on Shen Luo's face.
"Exactly, it's the same looking at your Excellency. Since we are all traveling together, there is no need to make the atmosphere so tense." Shen Luo said with a smile and sat down again.
The figure in gray robe nodded slowly, his eyes no longer so sharp, and walked into the pine forest, just like Shen Luo, he started exploring everywhere.
"It seems that this person is also a novice, entering Ghost Market for the first time." Shen Luo saw this and thought to himself.
The figure in gray robe searched around but found nothing, so he did not continue his futile search and found a place more than ten feet away from Shen Luo to sit down cross-legged.
The two of them sat quietly with each other, as time passed by and the night grew darker.
It's just that in this kind of wilderness, there is no watchman to tell the time, and there is no sound of roosters crowing, so it is difficult to grasp the time.
Shen Luo suddenly raised his lowered gaze and stood up.
Calculating time may be difficult for others, but he has no trouble at all. He has been familiar with medical skills since he was a child. He once read a medical formula called "Ziwu Liuzhu", which said that the twelve meridians in the human body correspond to the twelve hours of the day. At different times, the execution of Qi and blood in the twelve meridians of the human body will be slightly different. For example, at the Zi hour, the Qi and blood will flow into the gallbladder meridian, while at the Chou hour, it will flow into the Liver meridian.
Over the years, he has continued to explore, and has completely mastered Midnight-Noon Ebb-Flow, and can reverse the time based on the execution of his own Qi and blood.
Qi and blood have just begun to flow into the acupuncture points in the gallbladder meridian, which means that the midnight hour is about to arrive.
The gray-robed figure on the side noticed Shen Luo's actions, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he stood up.
At this moment, a chilling chill suddenly appeared in the nearby air. The mask on Shen Luo's face suddenly became cold, and a faint black air surged out from it, quickly enveloped his body, and then clung to his skin.
His appearance changed rapidly, and after a few breaths he turned into a brown-haired and dark-skinned ghost. The aura he exuded suddenly became cold and cold, just like those ghosts.
The man in gray robe not far away was in the same situation, turning into a dark red ghost.
The two looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
At the same time, the nearby void suddenly darkened, and countless gray mist emerged out of thin air, instantly submerging everything around it.
Shen Luo was shocked and turned over his hand to take out Ghost-Howling Ring.
The yellow shadow on his other hand flashed, and two more Minor Thunder Talisman appeared, ready to go.
But the surrounding gray fog only covers the surrounding void, and there is no other abnormality.
Countless gray mist surged like water for a moment, and suddenly dispersed quickly. The surrounding scenery changed dramatically. It was no longer the pine forest, but a desolate Gobi desert.
The ground is littered with black gravel, and apart from an occasional bit of moss growing in the gaps between the stones, there are no other signs of life.
Moreover, there are also wisps of gray mist floating on this desolate Gobi desert. You can only see a distance of twenty or thirty feet. If it is further away, it will be shrouded in gray mist and nothing can be seen.
"This is Ghost Market? Why is it so desolate? Not to mention the market, there is not a single ghost." Shen Luo saw this scene with a look of astonishment on his face.
The gray-robed man had already stood less than five feet away from Shen Luo. He had a gray ghost-headed sword in his hand and looked around with a surprised look on his face.
Shen Luo did not move immediately. He looked around, thought for a moment, and walked towards the man in gray robe.
When the man heard the sound, he immediately looked over with caution, looking extremely cautious.
Shen Luo felt relieved after seeing him like this.
"I've invited this fellow Daoist. I don't mean any harm. This place looks strange. We came in from the same place and we are half fellow villagers. How about we work together? We can take care of each other if there is an accident." He did not get closer, stood still outside Zhang Xu, and said with cupped hands.
The figure in gray robe looked around, pondered for a moment, and nodded. "Okay."
A smile appeared on Shen Luo's face, and the corners of the transformed ghost's mouth also grinned, and the expression was consistent with its original form.
"Since we are traveling together, it's better to exchange names so that we can address each other more conveniently. I'm Tian Tiesheng." He borrowed his senior brother's title.
"My surname is Hong." The man in gray robe was silent for a moment before speaking.
After exchanging names, the atmosphere between the two relaxed a lot.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Hong. I wonder if you have been to Ghost Market before?" Shen Luo asked.
"No." The man in gray robe shook his head.
"Neither have I. In this situation, let's explore around." Shen Luo suggested.
"Yeah." The other party hummed, cherishing words like gold.
Shen Luo looked around and chose the direction to go, but the scenery in all directions was almost the same without any difference, so he didn't pay attention for a moment.
"Let's go here." The man in gray robe suddenly said and walked in one direction.
Shen Luo recalled that the other party had noticed his actions before Green Pine Forest was far away and must have powerful detection skills, so he didn't say anything and followed him up.
However, in order to prevent him from getting lost, he quietly made a mark on the ground every short distance he walked.
The black desert was shrouded in mist and was as quiet as death. Only the footsteps of the two men echoed softly in the void.
Shen Luo could still keep his composure at first, but as time passed by and the surrounding situation remained unchanged, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
After walking for some distance, the surroundings were still like that. He couldn't hold himself back any longer. Just as he was about to ask the man in gray robe, he suddenly stopped and looked forward.
I saw a tall shadow emerging from the mist in the distance, which seemed to be a mountain peak.
Shen Luo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the man in gray robe beside him, but saw that the other person looked calm and seemed not surprised at all.
He couldn't help but feel a little horrified, secretly wondering if the other party could already see the shadow of the mountain in front of him from such a distance?
Shen Luo was a little surprised in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. He was about to quicken his pace when he suddenly turned his head and looked to the left.
A whirring sound came from there, rising and falling, and I couldn't tell what it was.
