The ghosts running halfway ran faster when they heard the second sound of the gong, as if they drank chicken blood.
For a while, there were also many slow-running and weak ghosts who were stepped on by the later ones, and the ghosts screamed again and again.
Su Jin and I started running in time, and when the third gong sounded, we had already passed the gate of the market.
The sound of the gong spread out, and it lasted long enough. As the sound gradually disappeared, the market gate also slowly closed.
Some ghosts did not have time to enter the door, and were blocked by the door.
They should be some ghosts with weak ghost spirit and poor physique. They seemed to be very sad for not entering the market, crying and howling.
It seems that in this ghost world, there is also a rule of natural selection and survival of the fittest.
However, the gate was still not opened, and the ghosts that had already entered dispersed quickly, regained their leisurely state, and walked towards the market.
I was thinking, I didn't expect the opening of this ghost market to be so big, it has far exceeded my imagination.
In my imagination, the so-called ghost market is nothing more than a group of ghosts gathering together in a noisy manner, eating and drinking, listening to operas, or even some karaoke, just like our usual gatherings.
In fact, I went to a ghost market two days ago, and I didn't think there was anything special about that kind of market.But today, I feel completely different.
In this ghost market, there are no lights, but the light is not dark.I couldn't help but looked up at the moon, a full moon hung high in the sky, like a jade plate.
I suddenly realized that two days ago was the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar, and after last night, tonight should be the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.
The third uncle once said that the ghost market will be held on the 15th of the first lunar month.So the ghost market that appeared two days ago was just a rehearsal for the market on the [-]th day of the lunar calendar today.
But today is the fifteenth day, the moon is round and big, and the moonlight shines on the ground, which is white and a little bleak.
Su Jin and I walked forward with the team, but we didn't see any market except for the desolate road.
While I was wondering, the team in front suddenly stopped.
We also stopped, and all the ghosts who entered the ghost market gathered together, as if they were waiting for something.
Su Jin approached me and said, "It's still 10 minutes before midnight, so we should be waiting for the arrival of midnight before we can fully open the collection."
Chapter 1232 Hell Flamingo
Only then did I know that Ganqing just entered the gate of the market, and it is not considered to be the opening of the market, and I have to wait here for the time.
"Ga..." At this moment, a cry suddenly came from mid-air.
We looked up one after another, and saw that there was a bird in the air at some point. The bird was completely black, similar to a crow, and its cry was very similar.But the obvious difference from the crow is that the bird has a tuft of red hair on its forehead, and its eyes are also red.
These two shades of red are so prominent that I can see them clearly from below.
The black bird circled in mid-air, then swooped down, circled and sang non-stop in the air less than two meters above our heads.
I was looking up, and Su Jin said in a low voice, "lower your head, don't make a sound."
I don't know why, so I quickly did what she said.
After the black bird hovered in the air for a while, it croaked again and flew to the depths of the market.
After the blackbird flew away, there was silence on the field.
With less than 10 minutes left before the real opening of the market, the world is surprisingly quiet.In the whole market, it seems that the wind has stopped.I suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure, and I was a little out of breath.
It seems that something big is brewing here, waiting for a certain moment to erupt completely.
I could only count the time silently in my heart, and when the midnight was approaching, suddenly another horn sounded.
The horn sounded, and my eyes suddenly became lively.
The ghosts who had kept quiet suddenly started to make noise, crowds of people moved, and the scene became bustling.
Only then did Su Jin tell me: "The black bird just now is the spy bird of the ghost fair, also called the hell flamingo. Only ghosts can enter this ghost fair. If someone or other things get in, they will be killed by the hell flamingo If the bird finds out, it will end badly. Today is the [-]th episode, and the censorship is extremely strict. Even if there are ghost invitations in it, ordinary people cannot enter. Thank you for suppressing the yang energy with your corpse teeth, otherwise you will be banned. The bird has found it. The bird can tear and bite, is extremely ferocious, and can even breathe out fire, which can burn ghosts to death, and everyone is afraid."
After hearing this, I was deeply moved. This seemingly simple ghost collection has to go through so many procedures.And it's so strict, I cheated past this level, and I don't know if I will encounter similar interrogation in the future.
A fake is a fake. My trick of using corpse teeth to suppress Yang Qi is actually not very clever. I am very worried that my identity will be exposed sooner or later.
But now I'm on the verge of riding a tiger, and it's impossible to turn back, so I can only bite the bullet and move forward.
With the sound of the horn, all the scenery I saw in front of my eyes changed, and the lonely and desolate road just now disappeared, replaced by a series of long pavilions, stretching into the distance.
"This is the ten-mile long pavilion." I suddenly thought of the news that Xu Ruoxi brought back, along with the Mengyang Ancient Road, and the ten-mile long pavilion.What I saw was not the magnificent long pavilion.
At the same time, I found that there was a dirt road next to the long pavilion, which was similar to the road I followed the old Guantou that day, but this road was different from what I saw that day. meander forward.
Mengyang ancient road, ten miles long pavilion.This is what Xu Ruoxi said about the grand scenery of the ancient road.
I can't help feeling secretly, the world is so big, there are really too many things that I don't know about.What is all this I see?Is it a mirage born out of thin air?Or is it a vision in the mind, an illusion seen in the eyes?
Su Jin and I walked forward with the crowd, and soon the ghosts wearing shrouds around me disappeared, and there were many people in different costumes in the market.
I saw many people wearing ancient costumes, some carrying burdens on the road, some riding a carriage to visit the scenery, and some bargaining and buying and selling goods at roadside vendors...
There was a lot of voices and crowds.
What kind of ghost collection is this? It seems to be the reappearance of the ancient scene!
I was stunned and couldn't believe my eyes.
Su Jin reminded me from the side: "Li Yang, don't be in a daze, let's go."
Su Jin looked excited and kept urging me.I finally understand why Su Jin has always been so enthusiastic about participating in the ghost market, and has always looked forward to it.
For ghosts, it is really a rare opportunity to participate in such a lively market.
"Li Yang, come here, it's fun to watch... Li Yang, look what's over there..."
Su Jin acted like a child at this time, everything was new, and she kept calling my name.
I followed Su Jin all the way down the road, and there was really everything on the side of the road.
But my heart was not as relaxed as Su Jin's, because I entered the ghost market for a purpose, and I wanted to find my third uncle.Originally, I thought that the ghost collection I entered would be the same as when I entered by mistake that day.If Uncle San was really trapped in the ghost market, Yuantou Village was not that big that day, so I had a great chance of finding Uncle San.
Unexpectedly, I entered such a ghost market today. I don’t know if the ghost market on Mengyang Ancient Road is related to what I saw that day. If so, I want to find Uncle San in it. easy.
At present, all I can do is to walk along this ancient road and carefully observe the surrounding scenery, hoping that my luck will be better and I can find some useful clues.
Seeing Su Jin's excited look, I couldn't bear to interrupt her, so I could only try my best to respond to her.
Before we knew it, the two of us walked a distance of two or three miles along this ancient road.
On both sides of this ancient road, all kinds of stalls are dizzying.There are all kinds of snack stalls, as well as jewelry and jade, cloth and satin, etc., and there are many ghosts who come to the market gathered in front of each stall.
Su Jin would stop and linger in front of every booth, and I had to urge her from time to time, so she reluctantly left.
I have to say that what I saw in the ghost market has more and more exceeded my imagination.
But the clues I wanted to find never appeared, and there was nothing in the stalls on both sides that could attract my attention.
Seeing Su Jin reluctantly leave the booth every time, I asked her: "Su Jin, why do you only see you shopping at the market, and you don't see you shopping? Isn't this a ghost market? Since it is a market, it must be It can be bought and sold, right? I see that many people have already bought things from the booth."
Su Jin nodded: "Yes, of course it can be bought and sold. I want to buy it too, but I have no money..."
"Why do you need money to buy things at the ghost market?"
Chapter 1233 Visiting the Ghost Collection ([-])
Hearing my question, Su Jin smiled and said, "Of course. You have to pay for anything you buy."
"Then... what kind of money did they use?"
Su Jin said: "It's ghost coins, the currency that circulates in the underworld. Some of these currencies were issued in the underworld, and some were burned in the underworld."
"Did it burn in Yangjian? Is it paper money?"
"Yes, I don't have any relatives to burn paper money for me. Even if I burn it, I'm not in the underworld, but I can't receive it in the painting, so I can only shop, not buy..."
Seeing Su Jin's disappointed look, I took out some paper money from my body.These paper money are what we carry with us, because we travel at night and go in and out of the mountains and forests, these paper money are necessary things.Sometimes when passing through some wild graves, you will be harassed by lonely ghosts. At this time, you just need to burn some paper money for them to go there.Their requirements are not high, and a few paper money can solve big problems.
I handed the paper money to Su Jin: "Look, can I buy things with this money?"
Su Jin took the paper money and looked at them, and asked in surprise: "You are not a ghost, how can you have paper money?"
I looked at Su Jin, and thought that this girl's mind is really simple, she doesn't understand many things very well.Before she understood this, she passed away.It's pathetic to say the least.
I smiled and said, "If you can use it, the money will be given to you. You can buy whatever you like."
"Really? Great..."
I nodded, and saw that there was a stall selling silk and satin next to it, and there were many clothes that had already been made.Among them is a light yellow ancient dress, which looks very beautiful in terms of style and style.I pointed to the long skirt and said to Su Jin: "Su Jin, don't wear this white coat anymore. Why don't I buy this for you."
Su Jin hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, the old man in the painting said that you must never eat or shop here."
I thought about it, and said, "Then you can buy it with the money. You bought it, not me."
"Is this okay? Then... okay."
Su Jin took the money, ran to the booth next to her, and bought the light yellow dress.
The owner of the stall took the money, turned it over and over in his hand, and glanced at Su Jin again.
Su Jin took the long skirt and happily returned to my side.Comparing the long dress to her body, she asked, "Look, do I look good?"
I nodded: "Of course, it looks great."
Su Jin giggled: "Thank you, Li Yang. This is what you gave me, and it is my favorite gift."
I smiled, but suddenly noticed that the shopkeeper who sold the long skirt and collected money had been staring at Su Jin. Su Jin came to my side, and he also found me at the same time.
I felt a little unkind in his eyes, as if he had discovered something.I remained calm, trying to keep myself calm.
I greeted Su Jin and said, "Su Jin, we've wasted too much time, we have to move on quickly."
Su Jin suddenly came to her senses, and quickly blamed herself: "Oh, it's all my fault that I came here for being too playful. I forgot that you came here for a purpose. Come on, I won't look around here any more."
I smiled, didn't say anything, and continued walking with Su Jin.But even though I didn't look back, I still felt that there were eyes staring at me, which made me feel like a thorn in my back, which was very awkward.
I didn't dare to look back, so I continued to walk a few hundred meters, and suddenly found that there were more ghosts gathered in front of a stall not far ahead.There were three floors inside and three floors outside, and those outside were desperately squeezing in. The scene was extremely chaotic.
At the same time, I suddenly smelled a familiar smell, a fragrance.
It's Sanyang Braised Noodles!
I am too familiar with this smell, I just experienced it with Pang Dahai last night.The taste has not completely disappeared from my senses, and I am sure it is the taste of Sanyang Braised Noodles.
The aroma came from the stall next to it, and the smell of the Sanyang Braised Noodles did attract more ghosts.There are many ghosts who have already started to feast on both sides of the ancient road with bowls in their hands.
That smell is very tempting to me, but I didn't expect it to be even more tempting to those ghosts who wander around the market.
More and more ghosts gather here, vying to buy that kind of Sanyang Braised Noodles.
Because there are too many ghosts gathered, I can't see from the outside whether the noodle seller inside is the old man.
Su Jin naturally also smelled the aroma of that noodle. Seeing me stop, she took the opportunity to rush into that noodle stall, and came out with a bowl of noodle after a while.
"Li Yang. This noodle is delicious. Would you like to take a bite... Oh, by the way, it's a pity that you can't eat the stuff inside."
Su Jin felt sorry for me.I saw the shape of that noodle, and I was more sure that this was the Sanyang stewed noodle.
"This noodle is for ghosts, eat it."
Su Jin nodded, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat the noodles.
As a result, at this moment, there was another rattling sound from midair.Several scouting birds called hell flamingos flew from a distance and hovered over our group of people.
The appearance of several scouting birds caused panic among the ghosts here. They were all afraid that these hell flamingos would find them, so they looked up one after another.
Su Jin was also very scared, and said in a low voice: "The hell flamingo reappeared, it must have found something. Li Yang, it can't be for you. Are you...do you still have your corpse teeth?"
I nodded, the dead teeth were well held under my tongue, the problem shouldn't be here.
At this time, another person came running from a distance, to be precise, it should be a ghost.
And I immediately recognized the ghost as the shopkeeper from whom we had just bought the dress.
At that time, he looked at me a little strangely, as if he recognized that I was not of the same kind as them.
This time he came from a distance, and he also brought the scout bird. I had a premonition that something was wrong.
The scout bird circled twice in the mid-air above our heads, seemed to have found something, and kept rattling.
I didn't know how to deal with it for a while, whether to leave or stay, or continue to pretend nothing happened...
At this moment, a figure rushed out from the Sanyang Braised Noodle booth and quickly came to us.
I saw that it was the old Guantou who came.
The old man rushed directly in front of me. Before I could speak, he snatched the bowl from Su Jin's hand and stuffed it back to me, saying hastily, "Eat this noodles."
