After the boulder was closed, I followed Brother Qingfeng and slowly walked into the cave. This cave was quite humid and stuffy. It was about two meters high and one meter wide. The cave was very straight, just like walking in front of me.
After walking in for about five or six minutes, Brother Qingfeng stopped, looked around and said to me: "Xiaojiu, remember, don't talk nonsense after you go in. There is also this copper coin, you must
Take it with you, no matter what happens after you go in, you have to listen to me, you know." After saying that, he took out a copper coin that looked old from the bag on the side. When I saw it, it was a copper coin from the Qianlong period.
After Brother Qingfeng finished speaking, he took me inside again. After walking for about a minute or two, a thick white mist appeared in the cave. Brother Qingfeng walked in without hesitation, and I paused behind.
, also followed.
After walking in the thick fog for a while, I heard a small noise. As I walked forward, the noise became louder. It sounded like the sound of a market. I was curious for a while. I want to know
I have never been to a ghost market, and I have heard about some things before.
"Xiaojiu, put the copper coin in your mouth. Don't speak when you go in, and don't touch anything. Remember." Brother Qingfeng's voice suddenly came from in front of me. I didn't think about it and immediately put the copper coin in my mouth.
Inside, I walked forward for a while, and the thick fog around me finally slowly dispersed. I looked around and saw that there was really a market in front of me. This market looked just like the market in ancient times.
, the houses on both sides are also like ancient buildings, and there are many people coming and going doing business at this time.
Brother Qingfeng walked forward in a familiar way. I looked left and right and saw that the people setting up stalls here were actually selling some talismans and some books. Although I was very curious, I still firmly remembered what Qingfeng Taoist said.
, I didn’t dare to touch these things.
Those people didn't shout, but sat lifelessly on the ground without saying anything. There were many people wandering around the market, but none of them seemed interested in buying these things.
"Woooooooooooooo..." Suddenly, there was a weird noise from Brother Qingfeng's mouth. When I heard it, it seemed like the master had taught me before, but I have forgotten it now.
At this time, Brother Qingfeng was talking to someone. It seemed that Brother Qingfeng was very polite, although the birdsong sounded really uncomfortable. Then Brother Qingfeng gave me a look and asked me to follow him.
, Brother Qingfeng took me around here in the end. Not to mention, this ghost market is quite big, much bigger than the average market. Finally, I walked to an inn. The lobby of this inn was very big.
It was deserted. When Taoist Qingfeng went up, there was another burst of birdsong. After a while, a waiter came and took us up. Our room was on the second floor. I don’t know why Taoist Qingfeng brought me to this inn. He didn’t mean to come here.
person.
When the light entered the room, Brother Qingfeng spit out a copper coin from his mouth. Only then did I realize that he also had a copper coin in his mouth.
"Xiaojiu, trouble, it seems that the person we are looking for this time has not been here for the past two days. Maybe we have to stay here for two days." Brother Qingfeng spit out the copper coins and said to me.
"It's okay. I haven't been to the ghost market before. It's just a good time to play." I looked at the tables and chairs around me. I guessed that these things were antiques anyway. If they were taken out secretly, I would give it away.
.
Taoist Qingfeng's face changed slightly when he saw my actions and he said to me: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. It's best not to touch the things here, otherwise you will be dead."
I nodded and said to Taoist Qingfeng: "Brother Qingfeng, why are so many ghosts in this ghost city not reincarnated and still staying here?"
"No, you don't even know what a ghost market is, right?" Taoist Qingfeng answered in surprise after hearing the question I asked him.
"Isn't it just a gathering place for ghosts? What else could it be?" I scratched my hair and said.
Taoist Qingfeng told me seriously: "This is not a gathering place for ghosts, but a gathering place for demons. The ones outside are not ghosts, they are demons. The ghosts will be reincarnated seven days after they are formed.
Even if there are bad ghosts, someone will take care of them, so how could there be so many ghosts left behind?"
"Then what are all these monsters doing here?"
"Xiao Jiu, look at how many monsters there are in the city now. For thousands of years in China, so many monsters have entered the ghost market to live. The ghost market is not a place where ghosts live, but a place where dirty things gather. In the past, Maoshan
, Longhushan and other sects jointly signed an agreement with these monsters to help them establish a ghost market, and then the monsters cannot go out to cause trouble unless they have no choice."
"There are so many monsters. If one of them got out, wouldn't it be a disaster for everyone?" I said with some worry. I saw the number just now. There were so many. If one of them got out, it would really be a mess.
"Hey, Xiaojiu, you are probably too young. Anyone who is really knowledgeable knows that monsters are just animals. If you look at the many monsters out there, they are actually about the same fighting power as humans, and many of them can't do magic.
"There are only a few powerful monsters. They are not so-called monsters, so they are powerful." Qingfeng Taoist corrected me.
I nodded after hearing this. Indeed, people nowadays, including me, always think of monsters and monsters as beings that destroy the world. How many people can be killed by throwing a bunch of spells and howling?
of.
But if that were the case, wouldn’t the world have been occupied by monsters long ago? Now it seems that monsters are actually more powerful than humans, no, even worse than humans. After all, humans have a strong numerical group. It seems now that monsters were more powerful than humans back then.
Grandpa’s people are more powerful, and the family planning policy is still good. At least it can suppress the monsters in our country.
I was frustrated, and after thinking about it, I thought too far away. This was not something I should worry about. It would be nice to be a happy little girl by myself.
"What kind of monster are we looking for?" I thought about the philosophy of life for a moment, and then continued to ask Brother Qingfeng.
Brother Qingfeng said: "It's not a demon, it's a person. I'm a senior in Longhu Mountain." Then before I could ask, Brother Qingfeng continued: "This ghost city is not just about demons living here, there are also some strange people.
The existence of foreigners is that they are tired of the world and hate the intrigues of the world. On the contrary, the ghost market does not have these things, so they moved into the ghost market."
To be honest, I was really curious about this ghost market. I looked out the window at the people coming and going, but Taoist Qingfeng asked me not to go out. The reason was that I didn’t know how to speak demons.
Ugh, it's demon language, and you can't speak human language here. The demons here hate hearing human language. You can be a human, but you have to speak demon language. That's what it means anyway.
Although my master thought about teaching me the monster language in the past, at that time I thought it was impossible to meet any monsters. Even if I did, I would just do it without any communication at all, so I didn’t learn it. Now I really
I regretted it a little. I saw Taoist Qingfeng running out to play every day. It seemed that there were many fun things in the ghost market, such as gambling houses.
The transactions here are all in exchange for things. Watching Taoist Qingfeng take a small dagger every time he goes out and come back with a lot of things, he smiles every day.
Take pity on me. I just lie in bed and sleep every day. When I'm hungry, I eat some dry food brought by Taoist Qingfeng, and then continue to sleep. If I had known that I wouldn't come, I just wait for Brother Qingfeng to come and check. I guess Brother Qingfeng is also afraid of coming here.
He only brought his own because he was lonely, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take me with him so readily.
Suddenly, Taoist Qingfeng ran back with excitement and said: "My senior will be back soon, hehe."
I was very happy when I heard it: "When."
"It will take another two or three hours." After Taoist Qingfeng said that, I became depressed again. I still had to wait two or three hours. I didn't want to stay in this room for a moment in the past two days.
Taoist Qingfeng looked at the depressed look on my face, thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. I'll take you to see a martial arts competition to recruit a bride, but you have to remember that you must abide by the rules, you know." After saying this, Taoist Qingfeng smiled obscenely.
When I got up, I knew as soon as I guessed that the bride must be very beautiful.
