"No one knows how many entrances there are to the ghost market, but if you want to take the safest way, you have to listen to me."
"Aren't you going to take us there?" Li Yu was somewhat repelled. This white hair didn't look like a good thing.
If it doesn't go by itself, is it a fraud?
"Are you stupid? I told you that I am the Demon King. People all over the world are trying to catch me. If I went to the ghost market, I would be throwing myself into a trap. The birdmen there must have taken advantage of my weakness and captured Beidou Si.
Exchange money.”
Li Yu glanced at it suspiciously, still not convinced, could this thing be the 33 Demon King?
Have you ever seen a demon king who stole a chicken to eat?
Da Qiao interrupted Li Yu impatiently and asked: "Where is the safest place?"
"Daxiangguo Temple!"
Li Yu and Da Qiao looked at each other and looked at each other...
"Daxiangguo Temple?"
"That's right." The white-haired fox said: "Other intersections are often different, and there may be people from the court waiting to catch the fugitive imperial prisoners. Only Daxiangguo Temple is the safest."
Speaking of this, Bai Mao glanced at Li Yu and said with a smile: "It's just that you have to prepare some money."
"How much?" Li Yu nervously touched the money bag in his waist and asked anxiously.
"One hundred taels."
"It costs a hundred taels to go in?" Li Yu almost jumped up, "This is too sinister."
Bai Mao had a look of disdain on his face, licking his paws and mockingly said: "Who told you that you are a humble kid? If you have my way, you can go to other entrances as you like. If you are not afraid of being robbed, I have ten more ways to show you."
"Do you dare to leave? Cluck cluck..."
Li Yu thought silently in his heart, endured the calm for a while, and said with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare, just be steady and go to Daxiangguo Temple."
The white-haired fox chuckled, "If you give me another thousand taels, the Daxiangguo Temple can send out eminent monks to escort you all the way. If you can give me another thousand taels, you don't have to go in by yourself. The Daxiangguo Temple will send people to the ghost market."
Pick up the person you are looking for, sit in the meditation room, make a pot of tea and talk slowly."
Li Yu swallowed his saliva and said with a dry smile: "I won't trouble the master in the temple. I like to do it myself."
"Not only you, but also poor people like it." Bai Mao's mouth was still poisonous as usual. Fortunately, Li Yu was used to it and had no intention of getting along with it.
Bai Mao waved his paw, took out a map from somewhere, and said, "Follow this map. The red dot is where Zuo Ci is hiding. I am the only one in the world who knows it."
Li Yu knew that every time this guy said a few words, he would brag about himself, so he didn't take it to heart.
After Da Qiao came to Bianliang, he had been living in seclusion. Although he had a good relationship with the royal family and was protected by it, he did not go out easily.
This time, I was very quiet and thought about it. I followed Li Yu to the ghost market. I felt something new and exciting in my heart, my heart was pounding nervously, and a faint blush appeared on my pretty cheeks like snow jade.
The two people took a donkey cart and arrived at the gate of Daxiangguo Temple. In the shed built in the temple, a young novice monk sat with a smile on his face.
"Two donors, do you want to offer incense or fulfill your vows?"
"Let's enter the ghost market." Li Yu smiled and nodded, trying to be as calm as possible and look like a veteran.
The young novice monk looked a little surprised and announced the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, then it is not the young monk who is responsible for taking charge of the matter. Please come with me, the two donors."
This Daxiangguo Temple really had a lot of business and a lot of money, which made Li Yu feel sad.
The two of them came to a Zen room, and soon an older monk came out. He smiled more kindly, and his ability to treat guests was much higher than that of the younger monk.
"Are you two going to the ghost market?"
Li Yu smiled and said: "Exactly."
"Okay, please take a seat, Wu Ming, and serve tea to both of you."
Da Qiao said impatiently: "There is no need to drink tea. We are in a hurry to go to the ghost market for something."
"Female Bodhisattva, don't be impatient. Let the poor monk introduce the regulations of our temple to the two of you. Hiding the temple into the ghost market is the safest place in Bianliang. Choosing our Daxiangguo Temple shows that the two benefactors are thoughtful and foresighted.
We have three..."
Li Yu waved his hand and said: "No introduction is needed. This is not our first time. Just choose the first one with a hundred taels."
When the monk heard this, his face suddenly darkened, "In that case, it is not the poor monk's responsibility. Wu Qing, you will lead the way."
After a while, a monk came out with a much different attitude. He held a ledger in his hand and said, "Amitabha, please give me money."
Li Yu carefully took out his money bag from his waist, took out two ingots, and said, "One hundred taels."
Monk Wu Qing took out a small scale from the cabinet. After carefully measuring it, he recorded the amount and then put the money away.
"Two donors, please come this way."
In the backyard of the Zen house, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. The ground is covered with smooth bluestone slabs. There are often exquisite Buddha statues on the roadside.
Entering the moon gate, there was an inconspicuous wing. The young monk Wu Qing knocked twice. A monk opened the door lazily. When he saw it was Wu Qing, he chose a Buddha's name: "Amitabha, hello, senior brother."
"This time there are two people, choose one hundred taels, let's take them in."
Li Yu followed the monk guarding the room and entered the room. He saw the monk walking behind the screen and pulling some mechanism. The entire wall sank, revealing a huge hole.
"You two, please, one hundred taels can only stay for half a day, so please come out as soon as possible."
Da Qiao and Li Yu looked at each other and entered side by side. They saw a huge staircase in front of them. Going down the stairs, there was a dark wind inside, accompanied by thick water vapor.
Li Yu took out the map, and the red dots on it were automatically connected to his location, and a red line appeared.
Every time he took a step forward, the red line shortened a little. Li Yu deliberately went astray, and the red line was re-planned to find the nearest route on his own.
Da Qiao looked at the map and whispered: "The fox also has such a good thing. Hey, little pea, how do you know it?"
"I was caught stealing a chicken."
Da Qiao burst out laughing. Just when he was about to continue asking, the stairs had already reached the end.
At the end of the stairs, there is an exit. After walking out, it suddenly becomes clear.
There are lights flashing everywhere here. I don’t know what kind of lights they are. They illuminate the ground as bright as day, but there is no smoke or smoke at all.
Li Yu looked at the huge lamppost. There were many insects flying inside, as big as sparrows, with lights shining behind their buttocks.
Da Qiao smiled and said: "I know this, it's the moonlight bug."
On both sides of the road in the ghost market, there are all kinds of shops, which are almost the same as those above.
Li Yu originally thought that this place was spooky and terrifying, like hell, full of monsters and monsters.
Who knows, everything is in order, and passers-by will even smile and signal to you. Everyone looks peaceful, but the name "Ghost Market" seems to be a bit prejudiced.
Li Yugang was a little surprised at first, but after taking a closer look at the shops on both sides, a creepy feeling spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
