Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 143 9 Phantom Crow

"La la la" Xiao La responded happily, dancing around the three people.

"Shua, swish, swish" Wangmu, Wangting and Wangyou all looked at Xiaoli, the meaning was obvious.

The little fox had no choice but to serve as an interpreter. It lived up to the title of diplomat.

Being busy and fulfilling will make people ignore the passage of time.

It was early April again, and Liu Yu led his team here again.

When Yifeng, the supervisor in the bamboo shed, saw Liu Yu and his team coming, he couldn't help but ask subconsciously: "Is it April now?"

Liu Yu was stunned when he heard this, and thought: "Could it be that Brother Feng is in a trance because of kidney deficiency?"

It was not until he heard Yifeng sigh, "I've been so busy lately that I forgot about time," that he suddenly realized.

The Forgotten Township is indeed busy, with people working busily everywhere.

The arrival of Huitong Trading Company undoubtedly made the market more lively, and there was more labor.

In the words of Yifeng, "You are idle anyway, why not help with some work and stretch your muscles."

Therefore, the guards and crew members of Huitong Trading Company also joined in the construction of wooden fences for the market.

On the evening of April 4, a huge caravan of merchants from various villages arrived at the market like a long dragon, and shouts arose.

The rural merchant caravan formed a team and went to the Forgotten Temple in the village. After lighting incense sticks, they prepared for the dinner, and drinking was inevitable.

Yuanling lamps were lit up in the night, animal skins were spread on the grass, wine and food were placed on the ground, and people sat on the ground and drank. It was very lively.

The mountain caravan arrived at dusk on the 7th. Manshan used river transportation to bring several thick logs that were big enough for five people to hug to Forgotten Township.

Yang Chao was very satisfied after seeing it. The wood needed for the keel was finally available.

As Yifeng and Liu Yu had expected, the number of arriving caravans increased again.

The place becomes lively when there are more people, a banquet is set up, and everyone drinks to their heart's content. The men in the village start singing folk songs, the only thing missing is the women in the village to switch places.

On the top of the rock, Shang Liangshan, who was taking a break, listened to the mountain songs floating in the wind and couldn't help humming along.

Then he was caught by Yijin and Wangmu who were taking a walk after dinner.

"Liang Shan, I have to say, your humming is really nice. It makes people feel calm when they hear it." Yi Jin praised.

"Second Elder, I was humming a love song." Shang Liangshan said helplessly.

"Haha" Wang Mu couldn't help laughing out loud, and said cheerfully: "He doesn't understand, Liangshan, just take it as a good word."

"Who said I don't understand?" Yi Jin was annoyed and shouted loudly on the spot:

Clear water, clear water, clear water

Carp scales reflected in clear water

The clear water reflects the girl's face

The Dragon King immediately asked a matchmaker...

My goodness, Yifeng’s shout scared the elf butterfly so much that it turned around and ran away.

Hearing Shang Liangshan looking up at the crescent moon, Heizi, who was on the top of the pavilion absorbing the power of the moonlight, spread his wings and flew up into the sky without even a sound.

However, there was still someone present who loved to listen, and that was Wang Mu.

It really is true that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

"Pa pa pa" applause rang out, and Yang Chao came over with Wang Ting, praising loudly: "It sounds good, the singing is heroic and appropriate to the scene, uncle is really talented."

"Haha, it's just so-so." Yi Jin laughed heartily.

They are really not from the same family, so they won’t marry. The two of them started to praise each other.

Shang Liangshan could still accept the singing. He put away his desire to go back home. He lay on the chair and looked at the starry sky.

Unconsciously, he began to like gazing at the bright stars, where his hometown might be.

A crow suddenly cried "quack", waking everyone up.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a crow emitting faint light flying in the sky behind the rock.

"Nine Nether Ghost Crow." Yang Chao exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the glowing crow flying towards him.

The Nine Nether Ghost Crow is a crow unique to the Nine Netherworld. It is often used for communication between ghost forces. Its body shape is the same as that of a normal crow, but the difference is that its wings will emit a faint glow at night.

"Quack..." Under the gaze of everyone, the Nine Nether Ghost Crow flew to the back of the chair next to Shang Liangshan and started quacking at the latter.

"I know, I know." Shang Liangshan reached out and tapped the Nine Nether Ghost Crow's head to stop it from croaking, and untied the small bamboo tube tied to its ears.

With a "bang" sound, under the gaze of everyone, Shang Liangshan opened the bamboo cover, poured out the roll of paper, opened it and began to read.

The content is as follows: The temple spirit has come again. How are my daughter and brother?

Shang Liangshan understood that this was a letter from the ghost bride. Too lazy to reply, he tore up the piece of paper with his hands, stuffed the piece of paper with the words "安在" (An Zai) back into the small bamboo tube, covered it with the bamboo lid, and tied it back to the foot of the Nine Nether Ghost Crow.

"Quack" the Nine Nether Ghost Crow spread its wings and flew high, soon disappearing into the night.

"Is it a letter from General Li Gui?" Yang Chao guessed.

"No, it was the ghost bride who wrote to ask about her brother's situation." Shang Liangshan shook his head in response.

"Oh" Everyone suddenly realized it, but they also felt strange because the Forgotten Town was related to ghosts.

As the morning light fades, the market becomes lively and trading officially begins.

Yifeng looked at the huge number of animal skins on the dock and said to Liu Yu beside him: "Brother Yu, I'm afraid the black boat can't hold such a large number of animal skins."

"That's for sure. Fortunately, I have made preparations. I applied for several large space bags from the Chamber of Commerce when I came here." Liu Yu secretly praised himself for being prepared.

"So that's why. I was wondering why the black ship carried so much cargo this time." Yifeng suddenly realized.

"Speaking of goods, brother has a request."

"Just say it, there's no need to be polite to each other, brothers."

"I don't plan to take the remaining goods from this transaction back with me. I want to store them in the Forgotten Township for the next transaction. Brother Feng, what do you think..."

"No problem. There's an empty warehouse in the village. We can store it there. I won't say more to you. I still have to go buy some herbs." Yifeng walked towards the floating bridge before he finished speaking.

Speaking of medicinal herbs, we have to say that the village is rich in products. Herbs that are more than ten years old are sold in bundles.

"You guys pick them. The rest of the goods are all mine." Liu Yu muttered to himself, his face full of joy.

Every time a market is held, apart from paying half of the tax to Forgotten Township, he can also make a lot of money from it.

Of course, he is not a stingy person. He will give a big red envelope to everyone, whether it is a guard or a crew member. Everyone can make money.

"What are you so happy about, Manager Liu? It's time for us to trade pills." Yu Ye, along with a group of village elders, went to find Liu Yu.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go to the pavilion and chat." Liu Yu made a gesture to invite them, and just like that, a group of people walked towards the pavilion.

At the same time, Yifeng, who had just passed the floating bridge and stepped onto the other side, was pulled aside by Manshan and asked about the number of bone-strengthening pills.

"We want it too." A group of village elders gathered around.

Manshan looked at the elders of the village depressedly and said, "You can buy it next time. We will take care of it this time."

"No, everyone who sees it gets a share." The elders of the village immediately refused to agree and demanded that everyone who saw it get a share.
