Volume Six Blue and White Porcelain Chapter Five Ghost Market
"Sister Phoenix, where is the ghost market?" Huo Mingkun said.
"You'll know when you get there," Yao Guang said.
"Then why did you take me with you instead of Jiang Yun?" Huo Mingkun asked.
"Jiang Yun has a weak soul and can't go. Your black-pupil Yin-Yang eye has been practiced for some time. It is a kind of amulet that comes with the human body. I will take you to many helpers." Yao Guang said.
"You are a god, why do you need help?" Huo Mingkun asked curiously.
"What's wrong with the God? Isn't it amazing? Have you ever heard of the ghost spirit rising to the sky? A Kun, I will show you a different world tonight." Yao Guang smiled mysteriously.
"What world?" Huo Mingkun asked.
"The world of ghosts." Yao Guang smiled mysteriously.
The hour hand of the clock has moved towards 11 o'clock. Yao Guang stood up from the sofa: "Akun, let's go." Yao Guang said and walked out. Huo Mingkun hurriedly followed.
Yaoguang's car drove towards Dongcheng. After driving for an unknown amount of time, the car stopped in front of an archway. Yaoguang found a place to park the car.
"Sister, aren't we going to the ghost market? Why did you bring me to the antique street?" Huo Mingkun looked confused.
"You'll know in a minute." Yaoguang got out of the car and walked inside. After passing the archway, there was no one on the road. After walking a little further, he saw the bustling crowd in front of him. There were many stalls on both sides of the road, and there were many stalls inside.
People are walking around.
"This is the ghost market." Huo Mingkun said.
"Not entirely." Yaoguang continued walking forward with Huo Mingkun.
"Boy, would you like to take a look at the new arrivals?" A short man walked up, carrying a cloth bag.
Just as Huo Mingkun was about to talk, he was pulled over by Yao Guang. Without looking at the short man, he continued to walk forward. As he walked, he said to Huo Mingkun: "Here, don't talk to me if you don't want to buy.
If you don't buy it, you'll get yourself into trouble."
"Why?" Huo Mingkun asked curiously.
"What is sold here are all shady things, as well as contraband that cannot be sold publicly. Do you think the people here are easy to provoke? It is also the rule here not to buy or talk to, I understand." Yao Guang said.
"Understood." Huo Mingkun nodded obediently.
Yaoguang led Huo Mingkun through the crowd all the way, and continued walking towards an alley. The deeper he went, the fewer people there were. When he got to the end, no one could be seen. The distance in the alley was very far.
There is a very dim street lamp, and the alley under the dim light is very ghostly. The wind blows in from time to time, which makes people's hair stand on end.
"Sister, aren't we going to the ghost market? Why..." Huo Mingkun saw that Yao Guang had no intention of stopping, so he shrank and asked.
"That was a ghost market just for people. To put it bluntly, it was also a dark market. You would buy some things that you can't usually see on the street, such as local goods. And what we are going to is a ghost market for ghosts.
That is the real ghost market, also called the Yin market." Yaoguang explained.
"A ghost market for ghosts?" Huo Mingkun didn't understand: "Can ghosts still open a market?"
"Why not? Ghosts are all human beings. People can trade, why can't ghosts?" Yao Guangdao looked at him as if he were a fool.
"Do you mean to make a deal with ghosts?" Huo Mingkun asked. "Is it a deal between humans and ghosts or a deal between ghosts and ghosts?"
"Yes, yes, it's a deal with ghosts." Yaoguang nodded. "In this real ghost market, there can be transactions between people and ghosts, or between ghosts and ghosts, but no matter what kind of transaction it is,
The price will not be light. So not everyone can do the transaction here." After Yao Guang finished speaking, he continued to walk forward. Huo Mingkun just followed, and he didn't know how long he walked until the lights behind him disappeared.
The light stopped at the intersection.
"Follow me closely and don't speak easily." Yaoguang reminded.
"Okay." Huo Mingkun nodded obediently.
Yao Guang walked a few steps forward, and Huo Mingkun saw that there was a small stall at this intersection. There was no electric light in front of the stall, so you couldn't find it unless you looked carefully. Yao Guang walked straight forward and dug at the stall surface with his fingers.
"Where did it come from?" An old voice came from behind the stall. This voice was worse than blowing a bellows. Huo Mingkun couldn't help but frown.
"Come from the same place." Yao Guang replied.
"Where are you going?" the voice said again.
"Go somewhere." Yaoguang replied.
"Who?" the voice asked again.
"Two ghosts." Yaoguang replied.
"Ah, here you go, go in." Two white paper lanterns were handed out from behind the stall. Huo Mingkun was covered in cold sweat when he looked at the lanterns. Aren't these the lanterns used for dead people in wreath shops?
Yaoguang reached out to take it and handed one to Huo Mingkun. Huo Mingkun hesitated for a moment and then took it obediently. Yaoguang led Huo Mingkun forward without saying anything. Huo Mingkun turned his head to look at the stall curiously.
Yao Guang twisted him over and said, "Don't look at it. That's the janitor ghost. If you see him clearly, you will become a ghost."
"Why?" Huo Mingkun asked carefully.
"He can capture people's hearts. Let's go." Yao Guang continued walking forward holding the lantern.
Huo Mingkun broke out in a cold sweat.
"Sister, what riddle were you playing with that janitor just now? Why didn't I understand?" Huo Mingkun asked.
"That's the rule of the ghost market, and it's also a way to save your life. You can't tell him that you've come here to prevent him from finding you, and you can't tell him where to go to prevent him from following you. As for the two ghosts I'm talking about,
Tell him that I want two lanterns. Without these lanterns, you will be easily targeted by the evil spirits inside. If you hold this lantern, the evil spirits inside will think you are one of their own. Hold the lanterns and don’t throw them away.
Yao Guang said.
"Okay." Huo Mingkun nodded seriously. I felt like I was almost confused tonight, but the things here were so mysterious that I didn't understand them at all. Fortunately, Sister Fenghuang didn't find him annoying.
, has been answering patiently. But speaking of how long Sister Fenghuang has lived, how do you know so much? However, you still can't ask this question. Captain Xie has warned you not to ask if you don't want to be beaten.
"We're entering the ghost market ahead. Remember, no matter what happens, you can't look back. Do you understand?" Yaoguang warned: "And don't talk to anyone. Don't answer anyone who talks to you. If you hear someone calling your name,
Don’t agree. Just pretend you didn’t hear it. Don’t look at the time on any watch or clock. Understand.”
"Understood." Huo Mingkun nodded.
"Haha, you look so stupid, you just don't understand." Yao Guang said with a smile: "Don't talk easily to prevent you from inadvertently agreeing to things you shouldn't agree to. People can not pay attention to promises, but ghosts can't do it. I agreed.
It must be completed. If you fail to complete it, you will be retaliated against. The revenge of ghosts is not necessarily any better than that of humans. The purpose of not letting you go back is to prevent ghosts with lucky intentions from absorbing your yang energy or seizing your body, that is, taking advantage of you.
If you agree to calling your name, this ghost will follow you and pester you. You can't get rid of it without peeling off a layer of skin. It will be very troublesome to deal with it. You are not allowed to see the time on it because it may
It will be the time when you die. There are many taboos here. If you want to get out alive, you must abide by them, otherwise you will be left here forever. Do you understand this time?"
"I understand, I understand." Huo Mingkun swallowed and nodded.
"Let's go after you understand." Yaoguang led Huo Mingkun and continued walking deeper into the alley. Unknowingly, Huo Mingkun felt that the surrounding air had become very cold, eerie and cold. Huo Mingkun shrank subconsciously.
The moment he shrank his neck and lowered his head, he unexpectedly found that the lantern in his hand had turned on at some point. However, the light of the lantern was not the yellow of a candle, but a faint green like in the TV series. Huo Mingkun looked at Yao again.
The lantern in Guang's hand is also faintly green.
"Well, it's pretty clean today, there aren't many people coming to trade." Yao Guang said lightly.
Huo Mingkun glanced at Yao Guang suspiciously, Qing Jing? There is no one here, Qing Jing? How can this be Qing? This is nothing.
Yao Guang looked at him and said with a smile: "If you can't see, please open your yin and yang eyes."
Huo Mingkun nodded, closed his eyes, and opened the Yin and Yang Eyes. The moment the Yin and Yang Eyes were opened, Huo Mingkun staggered because he saw rows of storefronts appearing on both sides of the road in the empty alley in front of him.
There was a faint green light inside, and there were some stalls on the street. There was a figure behind each stall. There were shadows shaking on the street, and it was impossible to tell whether they were people or ghosts.
"Concentrate your spiritual consciousness on your eyes, and then slowly open your eyes, and you can see with your eyes. If you look like this for a long time, it will be too worn out, and it will also attract attention. The black-pupil Yin-Yang eyes can be embarrassing.
Compared with the Heavenly Eye, but the Heavenly Eye must be opened with spiritual consciousness, and the Yin and Yang Eyes are not controlled. You can’t see or not see, but you can decide for yourself whether you see or not. You have to adapt to this ability.
, and it must be freely retracted and released. How could you make such a good talent the same as Duan Yu's Six Meridians Divine Sword? Really." Yao Guang shook his head speechlessly. "Let's go."
Huo Mingkun obediently did what Yao Guang said. In fact, he knew in his heart that Yao Guang was right. He usually couldn't see these things. Only by focusing on it, turning on his spiritual consciousness and closing his eyes, could his yin and yang eyes work.
He himself had also wondered that other people's Yin and Yang eyes could be seen with open eyes, but his Yin and Yang eyes were the same as the Heavenly Eyes. It wasn't until Yao Guang enlightened him that he understood how to use his Yin and Yang eyes, but he couldn't always use them well.
, it didn't work sometimes, so I could only use the old method, but every time I used it, I would feel dizzy and blurry. Huo Mingkun gradually adapted to the method taught by Yaoguang, and then followed Yaoguang's footsteps.
I saw Yao Guang stopped in front of a two-story building. Yao Guang raised his hand and patted it, then clicked it, and the door opened by itself. Yao Guang took Huo Mingkun and walked in. There was no one on the first floor. Yao Guang
Guang went directly to the second floor and entered the first room. The room was very dark. The decoration was also very simple. There was only a low table, a bed, and a large cabinet. Behind the low table sat a person with his head down.
The head. The hair is very long. Because the light in the room is dim, I can’t see the person’s face clearly.
"You're here. You're fine." The man said, his voice was like a blocked ventilator, dry, hoarse, and very unpleasant. Compared to the voice in front of me, the voice of the janitor outside was
Nice to hear.
"Here, are you okay?" Yao Guang put down the lantern and sat down in front of the table. Huo Mingkun also followed Yao Guang's example and sat down.
"It's just the same." The voice said.
"Huang Quan, are you still unwilling?" Yao Guang asked.
"It doesn't matter whether you are willing or not." The man named Huang Quan said.
"Stubborn." Yao Guang took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and put it in front of him. Then he raised his hand and injected spiritual energy into his body. The man moved. Then he slowly raised his head, and Huo Mingkun could see clearly.
His face was thin and pale, and his eyes were dirty, looking like a shriveled corpse. Yao Guang's spiritual energy was injected into him, and his eyes became slightly brighter.
"Thank you." Huang Quan said. "You are the only one who is willing to help me, a loser."
"You're welcome." Yao Guang put down his hand.
"What do you want this time?" Huang Quan asked.
"Golden talisman paper." Yao Guang said.
"Hehehe." Huang Quan laughed, his voice dry: "Are you in big trouble this time?"
"Clothed in red, with a spot of blood on his eyebrows, he was buried in an upright coffin. He has turned into a fierce ghost." Yao Guang said.
"Ah, that's not easy to do. You have to get gold." Huang Quan said, "What do you want in exchange for it?"
"Elixir." Yaoguang took out a box and opened it. Inside was a white bead like a night pearl, emitting a light golden light.
"Oh..." Huang Quan was startled and immediately closed the lid: "In exchange for the century-old elixir, you want more than just the golden talisman paper." Huang Quan lowered his head and stroked the box, unable to put it down.
"5 golden talisman papers, 10 silver talisman papers, good talisman drawing materials, fine cinnabar, and I also want a ghost elixir. More than 300 years." Yao Guang said.
"Hahaha, as expected of the Phoenix God, he never does business at a loss. I can understand why you want the ghost elixir." Huang Quan asked curiously. When he looked up at Yaoguang, he noticed Huo Mingkun beside him.
He was stunned for a moment: "Ah, the black pupils and yin and yang eyes are good things." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to Huo Mingkun.
Huo Mingkun shivered in fright when he saw the hand that looked like a rotten chicken claw reaching towards him, and subconsciously hid behind Yao Guang.
But the next second that hand was slapped away by Yao Guang: "Don't move, it's not yours. Don't have any wrong ideas."
"What can I do if I have a wrong idea?" Huang Quan said. Greedy light flashed in his dirty eyes.
"You can try it. If you annoy me, you know the consequences. Don't forget, in my case, skin cramps are mild. You can weigh it yourself." Yao Guang said coldly. As he spoke, Yao Guang's whole body showed a kind of feeling.
The oppressive magnetic field. The whole room was shaking.
"Hey, don't, don't, don't, I'm just kidding." Huang Quan smiled, the greed in his eyes turning into slight fear.
"It's good to know." Yao Guang took back his spiritual energy.
"Ah, no wonder you want the ghost pill, hahaha, good boy, good luck." Huang Quan smiled and stood up. He was very tall, but he was very rickety. He walked to the big cabinet tremblingly.
He rummaged around, then came back with the things and put them in front of Yao Guang.
Huo Mingkun looked around and saw that the golden talisman paper was actually made of gold foil, while the silver one was made of silver foil. The ink fountain was blood red, and the color of cinnabar was like blood. Yao Guang didn't even notice these things.
, he directly opened the black box the size of a ring box in front of him. Inside was a black pill the size of a soybean, emitting black light. Yao Guang sensed it and said: "A 370-year-old ghost, not bad."
"Are you satisfied?" Huang Quan asked.
"Satisfied." Yaoguang closed the lid and put it in his arms. Then he asked Huo Mingkun to keep the things on the table and stood up. "I'm leaving." After Yaoguang said that, he picked up the lantern on the ground and turned around to leave.
Huo Mingkun also stood up, picked up the lantern and followed.
"Turn off your yin and yang eyes and follow me." Yao Guang led Huo Mingkun and walked forward quickly. After walking for a long time, Yao Guang stopped. He took the lantern from Huo Mingkun's hand and lit it with a lighter.
Huo Mingkun discovered that the lantern had turned into an ordinary paper lantern at some point.
"Let's go. Let's go back." Yaoguang watched the lanterns burn out and left with Huo Mingkun. Walking out of a small road, Huo Mingkun found that they actually appeared in front of the archway. Yaoguang took Huo Mingkun to the car and got in.
Yao Guang, who was behind the car, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. She leaned back on the chair, feeling a little tired.
"Sister Phoenix, are you okay?" Huo Mingkun asked carefully.
"I'm fine, I just don't like coming to the ghost market. It's very dangerous here. You can't get out if you're not careful, no matter you are a human or a god. After all, this is the corner abandoned by gods. It is the gathering of all darkness." Yao Guang closed.
Close your eyes.
"What are we doing?" Huo Mingkun asked.
"In order to destroy the things in the tomb, it is also for you." Yaoguang said. "It is more for you. Even if there is no thing in the tomb, I will come."
"I know for the sake of the tomb. But for me, I don't quite understand?" Huo Mingkun shook his head in confusion.
"The things in the tomb must be suppressed with golden talismans and silver talismans. These talismans are also available outside, but the quality is not as good as here, but the ghost elixir is only found here. Although your black-pupil yin-yang eyes are powerful, but the yin energy
Extremely heavy, over time, it will consume your yang energy and original energy. These more than 300 years of ghost elixir can help you offset this yin energy. I am coaching you, and your black-pupil yin-yang eyes can evolve into
Golden Eyes, this way you won’t be as strenuous to use it as you are now, and your practice in the future will not be hindered by the yin energy in your body. Silly boy, if you dare not practice properly, I won’t deal with you.
, for you, I will exchange the hundred-year-old elixir. Refining the elixir is too laborious. I don’t have many in total." Yao Guang said.
"No, I will practice hard. Thank you, Sister Fenghuang." Huo Mingkun was a little touched. He didn't expect Sister Fenghuang to be so attentive to him.
"Why are you so polite, silly boy." Yao Guang smiled and patted him.
"Hey, sister, was that Huangquan just now a human or a ghost?" Huo Mingkun said.
"He is neither a human nor a ghost. He is already a monster. He is neither human, nor ghost, nor immortal, nor demon, nor god, nor demon. Speaking of which, he is also a pitiful guy. He was originally a god from the Asura world, but because of a woman from the Demon world
As for the fallen demon, he was regarded as a scum and hunted by the Asura world. He hid here and there for this woman, but later he found out that the woman wanted to defraud him of his spiritual energy. After defrauding his spiritual energy, the woman wanted to kill him. I
He successfully rescued him and took back his spiritual energy, but his spiritual energy had been contaminated by demonic energy. As long as he practiced well, he could still purify his spiritual energy, but he was disheartened. After accepting the punishment from the Asura world,
He hid in the ghost market and never wanted to leave. When he was still a human, he was a descendant of the Taoist Shanzi lineage. He was really good at drawing talismans to drive away ghosts. However, he failed in the face of nature. Although he was promoted later, because of his virtue
The problem is that he has entered the Asura Realm. He could have lived well in the Asura Realm, but because he was greedy for the so-called love, he was beaten to death by the Asura Realm. After being cursed, he ended up like this. In fact, as long as he admits his mistake, the Asura Realm
He could have revoked her punishment, but he refused to do so for so many years. He still clung to that so-called beautiful memory and lived like this, neither human nor god nor monster nor demon. Alas." Yao Guang shook his head regretfully. "In the past.
He can be said to be handsome, dashing, and suave, but it’s a pity, it’s a pity.”
"Then, that porcelain bottle you gave him?" Huo Mingkun asked: "Is it also a bargaining chip in exchange?"
"No, that's to treat his illness. The curse of the Asura world will occur once every ten years, and he will experience the pain of cramping and bone removal again. That medicine is to make him feel better."
"Sister, the last question is, what is the ghost pill?" Huo Mingkun asked.
"It is the elixir condensed by ghosts and immortals after death. People turn into ghosts after death. Some people do evil in life and cannot enter reincarnation after death. However, they achieve great enlightenment and practice in the underworld to become ghosts and immortals. The hardships that ghosts and immortals go through if they want to achieve enlightenment.
There will be extraordinarily many. This ghost elixir is a ghost immortal that dies after a failed calamity. All its cultivation will turn into ghost elixir. These 370 years are the time for its cultivation." Yaoguang said: "You have black-pupiled yin-yang eyes.
If you want to offset the Yin Qi brought by it, it will not work if the age is too small, and it will be counterproductive if the age is too long. Between 300 and 400 years is just right. Ghost elixir is hard to find, and you can only find it in this ghost market. After all, it is an evil thing.
." Yaoguang explained.
"Sister, I have transformed into a hundred thousand people tonight, please don't bother me."
"No, I used to have more problems than you." Yao Guang took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's very late, we have to go back, and we have to meet an expert to do this tomorrow.
Talisman, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to Professor Zhou for long, that evil ghost is very strange." Yao Guang's car sped away as he spoke.
Huo Mingkun looked at the moon that had set in front of him, and this strange night was finally over.
