Early the next morning, Huan Xin went out to take a taxi according to the address given by Master Liu.
When Huan Xin handed the address to the driver, the driver was obviously stunned, so he asked Huan Xin with some uncertainty: "Are you sure you want to go to this place?"
Huan Xin lowered her head and motioned to the driver to start the car.
The driver sighed helplessly and said, "Young people nowadays are still very curious!"
When Qing Xin heard this, he thought there must be something special about this place, so he started chatting with the driver.
It has to be said that Quanxin has a good impression of Northeastern people. Most people are very enthusiastic and talkative. During the conversation, Quanxin also learned that the address was an old residential area waiting for demolition.
, basically no one lives there anymore, and the reason why the government has failed to demolish it and transform the living environment for so many years is because it is rumored to be haunted.
As soon as demolition starts, accidents will always happen, leading to demolition projects. The most evil one is that a few years ago, a demolition company contracted the demolition project in this residential area. The boss at the time was a nouveau riche. Although I heard a lot about
There were rumors about this place, but even though he did not believe in evil, he resolutely contracted the project.
But on the day when the work started, he not only did not kill any living beings to worship, nor did he kowtow and burn incense, he almost risked his own life.
That day, just as the excavator was shoveling down the first wall, for some reason, a brick from the wall hit the boss's head directly. Everyone present had not yet realized what had happened.
, and saw the boss lying on the ground with his face covered in blood.
On the first day of work, I saw redness. How could I do this work? So everyone stopped working, and the boss was sent to the hospital. He needed more than 20 stitches on his head.
Listening to the driver's enthusiastic talk, Qing Xin also listened with great interest, so he asked: "What happened next?"
The driver said in an authentic Northeastern accent: "Later, the boss who was discharged from the hospital did not believe in evil and insisted on demolishing this residential area. He insisted on continuing the construction. This time, although he hid far away, he drove the excavator.
But the workers suffered a disaster. They were doing well at first, but the next day, the masters who drove the excavators all seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, foaming at the mouth."
The driver stopped at a red light, took a sip of water and continued: "Later, the boss also asked someone to see it, and he was a well-known local trickster. As soon as people heard about this place, they told the boss directly
, you can’t demolish this place!”
The driver talked like this all the way until he drove to a fork on the edge of the city and stopped. He said to Huan Xin: "We've arrived at the place. You can just turn around along this road. It's hard for the car to turn around over there.
, I won’t go in, okay, brother.”
Huan Xin nodded understandingly, then paid the fare and got out of the car. Just when Huan Xin took two steps, the driver raised his head and said: "Young man, it's not easy to take a taxi here.
Will big brother pick you up later?"
Huan Xin looked at the enthusiastic driver brother, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, brother, leave your phone number. I'll call you if I need you!"
Just like that, Huan Xin left the driver a phone number and disappeared at the corner across the road. The driver looked at Huan Xin's disappearing back, smiled helplessly, and drove away.
Huan Xin followed the driver's directions and soon arrived at this demolished residential area. Looking at the big words "Demolish" painted everywhere on the wall, Huan Xin also felt that this should be the place.
Obviously, no one has lived here for a long time. It is dilapidated everywhere, with broken bricks and tiles, and broken doors and windows everywhere.
Fortunately, the overall building structure here is still there, and the house number given by Master Liu is No. 74. Huan Xin randomly saw the house number 768 on Gongde Road at a random door, which proves that he
The number 74 Gongde Road we are looking for must still be in the deepest part of this residential area.
In this way, Huan Xin shuttled back and forth among the bungalows. Finally, half an hour later, she found No. 75. When Huan Xin looked next to No. 75, she saw the door number of the house next to her.
It says number seventy-three.
There is no No. 74 Gongde Road! At this time, Huanxin’s first reaction was that he knew that Master Liu could not give him this false address, and he also knew that someone must be playing tricks on him, so Huanxin began to take a good look at the numbers 75 and 74.
The place between seventy-three.
After looking at the door for a long time, Huan Xin couldn't find any secret passages, so Huan Xin decided to go in and have a look. Although both houses were locked and there were no traces of anyone's activity, entering the door was a big deal for Huan Xin.
It was a piece of cake for Xin Xin, so Qing Xin put an unlocking charm directly on the door lock of No. 75. After a while, the lock opened by itself.
Huanxin picked up the unlocking talisman and put it away. Huanxin was very careful to keep these tools and talismans. After all, if these talismans were to be used on the spot, it would be a bit confusing, so Huanxin
I have always had the good habit of "being prepared for any eventuality".
After entering the door, Huan Xin immediately noticed the difference. There was actually a piece of white paper taped on the wall between No. 75 and No. 73. Although this paper was very old, there were still many pieces of paper on it.
There were signs of yellowing, but Huan Xin was sure that this piece of paper must be the same as the one in her bag.
After getting closer, Huan Xin also saw the word "下" from this piece of paper. Subconsciously, Huan Xin lowered his head and looked down. With his wise eyes, he also saw that there seemed to be a hole under the water tank next to the wall.
, so Huan Xin moved the water tank, and a tunnel entrance appeared in front of her.
Huan Xin smiled helplessly, thinking that Grandma Fox Fairy needed such a complicated method to celebrate her birthday. If she wanted to test herself, she might as well do it twice. There was no need to be so complicated.
After Huan Xin got off the tunnel and walked for a while on the long and narrow road, his eyes suddenly opened up. Although this place was underground, Huan Xin could see that the architectural style here was almost exactly the same as that on the ground. Moreover, compared to the ground, this place was even more beautiful.
It will be much more lively.
Huan Xin stood there for a long time. Although the light was dark, people were coming and going here. Almost every house had its own business. Huan Xin took a deep breath and wondered whether this place was the legendary "ghost market"?
Although Huan Xin has never been to the ghost market, how could he not know it after having been in the world for many years? The reason why this ghost market is called a ghost market is that it is not actually a market for ghosts, but is run by people, most of whom are monks.
After all, many things in Xuanmen are difficult to trade openly, and most of them are strange and bizarre things, so ghost markets are always hidden in the edges and corners of the city, which are completely different from the real world.
Another world apart.
Huan Xin went through the ghost market and saw that every house was selling a variety of goods. It was really a dazzling array. Some were selling the bones of monsters, and some were selling imps. Huan Xin even found something here.
Buddhist disciples were selling consecrated Buddha statues. What was even more outrageous was that Qianxin actually saw the priest who solemnized Brother Dalong's marriage, selling crosses here.
Huan Xin was completely speechless. He also felt that the place where dragons and snakes were mixed seemed very similar to the place he was looking for. In fact, he had wanted to go to the ghost market for a long time, especially the legendary Luoyang Ghost Market, the largest in China, but he had never had the chance.
This time, I walked into the ghost market by mistake, so I wasn't in a hurry anymore. I thought I'd settle for now, so I might as well take a walk around and see if there's anything good.
