Suzaku Fury
Chapter 24 [18 Underground Ghost Market]
"Not bad!" Wang Donkey stroked the mahua and laughed, "Oh, luckily I made it in time."
Sha Tuo took a step forward, looked into the black mist again, and asked doubtfully, "Where is there a place to sell things here?"
"Hehehe, it's true that you are an idiot, just follow me!" After Wang Lu finished speaking, he rushed into the black mist without hesitation.
The other three people didn't want to be left behind again, so they hurriedly followed.
Before walking into the black mist, Di Renjie stopped his steps again, and turned slightly to look back—is there any dark path behind him?
There is only an endless black mist that keeps hitting here, accompanied by gusts of wind, which does not live up to the ghost city's reputation as a ghost city.During the movement of the black air, several skeletons seemed to appear, struggling to reach out and grab him.
"Ah!" Di Renjie yelled in a low voice, he turned slightly and looked down, a cold hand firmly grasped his wrist, and the same dry and lifeless voice came: "Di Renjie, once you enter the ghost Shimen, don't look at the time and direction, this is the rule."
Di Renjie was taken aback by Wang Lu who turned back to look for him, his heart was beating in his chest, but he took this opportunity to see Wang Pu's appearance after changing his face: his eyes were blind. God, with sunken eye sockets, strange brown spots all over his face, and dry, dry lips covered with flakes of flakes.
"Follow me, don't get lost." Wang Lv let go of him and walked slowly ahead.
Di Renjie collected himself and hurriedly followed.
Wang Lu's gloomy and misty voice floated over again: "If you get lost in this ghost city, and you don't have someone you know to lead you, you may be trapped here for the rest of your life."
"If you want to know the skill of Qimen Dunjia, you can move mountains and fill seas with just a few words from this Book of Changes. You can know the essence of this Book of Changes, the number of ninety-nine, yin and yang, gossip, and no one can understand it."
Wang Lv said as he walked, in a short while, the few people had reached the end of the land, and one step further was the dark bottomless river.
This place looks like a ferry, but the black fog on the river is thick, and there are no boatmen to see the river.
Wang Donkey walked to the side with ease, and found a palm-sized brass bell on a wooden stick beside him. He rang the bell with style, and shouted into the black mist: "Cross the Nai River, don't drink soup!" "Cross the Nai River and enter the Netherworld!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of pushing waves on the surface of the water, and within a short while, a tall wooden boat broke through the thick fog and slowly approached the shore. The ferryman with the silver mask.
"If you want to cross the Nai River, yin and yang must be balanced." The ferryman said in a hoarse voice.
I just heard Wang Lu standing on the shore and saying: "Ferryman, it's not my first time to visit the ghost market, so how can I not understand the rules?"
As the wooden boat slowly approached the shore, the ferryman who couldn't see his face said again: "Wang Laizi, you come up with endless tricks, how can I trust you again? If I find out that you are playing tricks again this time, I will give you money." Get all of you pedestrians into the Nai River, and tell you to really go kneel in the Palace of the King of Hades."
"Having learned the lesson from last time, how dare I lie to you again?" Wang Lv hung the copper bell back on the wooden stick, walked to the wooden boat and said with a playful smile, "The one who came with me this time is the famous Wu Wu in Chang'an City. rich businessman."
The ferryman said: "I have no way of knowing the trivial matters in the world. If you want to lie to me, I have no way of proving it. I have been punting for dozens of years, and I always only look at people, not where they come from."
Hearing this, Di Renjie immediately had an idea, stretched out his hand to grab Yuchi Zhenjin's waist, took a step forward, and said respectfully: "My son, Wu Tianfu, lives on waste of silk. There is no other purpose for this trip, but to seek a special spice for my wife." To be honest, my wife was born in a foreign race in the Western Regions. After moving to Chang'an, she became ill and became dumb overnight. I heard that only by burning this spice and using it all day long can it be cured. It is in vain for me to do business and travel all over the world. However, I couldn’t find an elixir for my beloved wife. It just so happened that when I went north to do business, I found out that there was a ghost market, so I had to come here to find it again.”
Yuchi Zhenjin was already stiff when he was hugged by Di Renjie, now when he heard the word 'Ma'am', he almost exploded, but for the sake of the overall situation, he could only endure it, but he had secretly recorded this account in his heart.In order to match Di Renjie's words, Yuchi Zhenjin tried his best to lean on Di Renjie's body as softly as possible.
The ferryman carefully looked at the person in Di Renjie's arms through the small hole in the mask, and asked after a long time, "Where are you from the Western Regions? Why is he wearing a black veil?"
Di Renjie secretly thought it was not good.Although there are more fabrics in Western Region clothing, there are few people who cover their faces with black gauze.He felt the person in his arms stiffen, and he was afraid that Yuchi Zhenjin would not be able to hold back first, but when he was in a hurry, he saw a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he blurted out: "My beloved wife's hometown has many immigrants in black clothes and big food. , so it became a habit. Although I moved to Chang'an now, because of a strange illness, my appearance has changed drastically, and I have to cover my face with a black veil, for fear of scaring people."
After hearing this, the ferryman looked at the group of people on the shore for a long time, and then said: "Wang Lai donkey, please pay five qian in advance, and we will not default on it."
Seeing him let him go, Wang Lv quickly jumped onto the boat, stood on the boat and greeted Sha Tuo again: "Idiot! What are you looking at? Quickly pay!"
Sha Tuo nodded hurriedly, then took money out of his pocket and handed it to the ferryman.
Taking advantage of Shatuo blocking the ferryman's sight, Yuchi Zhenjin hurriedly exerted his strength secretly to break away from Di Renjie's restraint.Unexpectedly, Di Renjie is like a dog skin plaster, once it sticks on, it can't be shaken off.Before he took a step, Di Renjie put his arms around his shoulders again, and squeezed his shoulders pointedly, implying that he had to do a full set of acting.
Yuchi Zhenjin swallowed his anger, but he was ruthless in his heart: Di Renjie, you owe me too much this time!Let's see how you pay back!
The four got on the boat, and the ferryman immediately swung the oars to make the boat go forward.
The surrounding black mist gradually faded as the wooden boat advanced, and after a while, sporadic lights appeared in the field of vision.No one on the boat spoke to each other, only the sound of the gray-brown bow pushing the waves forward.At first, only a little movement was heard in front, but soon some unique sounds were heard, and it was only when the boat moved closer that it was discovered that some strange-looking musicians played with some unseen instruments.
As Wang Pu said earlier, the "ghost market" is run through by a "Nai River", and the merchants are hidden in the gloomy places on both sides of the "Nai River".And the structure of this "ghost city" is not so much a city as it is more accurate to say it is a dark and damp underground cave: the dome with no light visible, the flickering fire on the walls on both sides, the strange light in the dark, The smell of damp and rotting unknown things is really dark, and snakes, insects, rats and ants are rampant.
"When you arrive at the shore, everyone, please disembark."
The hoarse and hollow voice of the ferryman came again, which made Di Renjie feel as if he had crossed the Naihe bridge and forgot about the worldly things.
Wang Lu jumped ashore from the wooden boat first, and Sha Tuo followed closely behind.
Di Renjie did a full set of plays, and went ashore first, and then reached out to help Yuchi Zhenjin who was still on the wooden boat.
Yuchi Zhenjin originally planned to go ashore on his own, but who expected Di Renjie to be relentless, insisting on doing such a waste of effort, and thinking that the ferryman behind him was still watching, so as not to startle the snake, he gave Di Renjie a look, relentlessly Reluctantly, he handed Di Renjie his hand.
A group of people landed on the shore, and the ferryman immediately propped up the wooden paddles, and said in that piercing voice while punting the boat: "Entering the ghost market, don't look back..." After a while, he faded out of everyone's sight and disappeared in the black mist middle.
Di Renjie withdrew his gaze, and then looked at Wang Lu who was standing by the water: "Next, ask Doctor Wang to lead the way."
Wang Lu stroked the fake beard on his chin, glanced at them, and said slowly: "Well...you come with me!" After saying that, he jumped and walked ahead.
The other three walked forward for a while in the flickering underground water hole, and finally came to a large wooden cage made of logs of different sizes and lengths.
Wang Lv took the lead to jump onto the wooden bridge that seemed to be crumbling. After walking a few steps, seeing that the rest of the people hadn't followed, he turned his head and greeted them: "The owner of this big wooden cage is Department Store Zhang. He cast his net widely, covering all department stores in the world. Everyone in the ghost market knows everyone, and if you want to find what you want, you must come here."
When Yuchi Zhenjin heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he also stepped on the wooden bridge and followed Wang Lu.
This big wooden cage was built on the dirty black and damp stone wall, and under the wooden cage there were only a few thicker logs for support, so this big wooden cage was almost suspended above the water with a layer of white mist.
The wooden cage seems to be in a more inhabited part of the ghost market.There is only sparkling water around, and almost no human voice or silk and bamboo sound, except for the "creaking" sound of walking on the wooden bridge, it is almost dead silent.
The big wooden cage is connected to the opposite bank by a wooden bridge, and the cage has no door.Wang Lv walked ahead, jumped into the wooden cage in two or three steps, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Department store Zhang, come out quickly if you are not dead, did you get me the Kucha benzoin that I asked you for earlier? "
Unexpectedly, after a long time, no one came out to answer.
"Department store? Department store?" Wang Lv spun around on the spot with his hips crossed, then stopped suddenly, and quickly rushed to a corner full of goods, pulling the things buried under the plank neatly. up.
"Ouch! You bald donkey, let me go!" A man who was about the same height as Wang Donkey was pulled out from under the plank like a carrot, and a lot of smelly soil was thrown out during the tearing.
Wang Lu threw him to the ground, clapped his hands triumphantly and said, "Department Zhang, who can you fool with such a trick? Where's my Kucha benzoin?"
The mud-covered department store gave a 'bah', pointed at Wang Donkey's nose, and cursed: "You stinky donkey, I haven't paid off the previous credits! First settle the old debts!"
Donkey Wang didn't give up, he slapped his hand away and cursed: "Bullshit merchants, you bullied me, Donkey Wang? Didn't I ask you to sell all the soul-returning pills I made? What about the money?"
Zhang Deng of the department store was at a loss for words when he happened to see Di Renjie who had walked into the big wooden cage. He quickly bypassed the donkey and rushed to the person, smiling playfully, "A friend came from afar, do you have enough money?"
Di Renjie was choked by the fishy smell on his body and hurried back a few steps. Unexpectedly, he stepped out of the boundary without paying attention, and suddenly his feet were empty, and he was about to fall into the water.
The author has something to say:
Happy Shaoqing P Jiang Sen's Day! ! !I, idiot Kuang Zhao, will definitely follow you! !Also, thank you for running the lion that exploded mines, Sunny Sea, and Miss Xia Wei~~~
Sha Tuo took a step forward, looked into the black mist again, and asked doubtfully, "Where is there a place to sell things here?"
"Hehehe, it's true that you are an idiot, just follow me!" After Wang Lu finished speaking, he rushed into the black mist without hesitation.
