"Uncle, you can't eat this meal for the time being. www.biquge.info "Xiao Xi said angrily, and then put the chopsticks back on the bowl.

"Why, is there any taboo about this?" asked Inherently Strange.

"You don't know by nature that on this day of Halloween, you have to make hearty food to worship your ancestors. Only if the ancestors ate it, we can eat it. This is a tradition of the people of Xudu since ancient times. Uncle Zhao walked out of the kitchen and explained.

"I see, but I was rude. Tiansheng bowed down and apologized.

I've seen incense and candles to worship my ancestors, but I've never seen such a custom, and I blame myself for not thinking it through. I felt a hint of apology in my heart.

"Uncle, are you a starving ghost reincarnated?

"Xiaoxi, don't be rude. Born to be a guest no matter how you speak, how can you talk like that. Uncle Zhao scolded.

"Oh, got it. Xiao Xi replied helplessly, but the moment Uncle Zhao turned around, he stuck out his tongue at the natural provocation, which was so cute.

The three of them waited like this, looking east and west from time to time. Xiao Xi, who was sitting opposite, looked at him suspiciously, and stopped talking.

A quarter of an hour later, Uncle Zhao spoke: "Okay, it's time to eat, everyone is hungry, right?"

"It's finally better, I've been hungry for so many delicious things. When Xiao Xi heard this, her face turned happy, and she began to gobble it up.

Seeing that Tiansheng had not yet reacted, Zhao Bo asked strangely: "Naturally, the ancestors have already eaten, we can eat." ”

"Is that all it take?" was born to wonder, as he didn't feel the presence of ghosts in this room.

After getting Zhao Bo's confirmation, he couldn't help but think that maybe this was just a strange custom in the capital. After all, mortals can't see ghosts, so how can they know if this ancestral meal has been eaten?

Although there is a lot of fish and meat on the table, it is the most sumptuous meal in recent times, but Tiansheng does not think it is delicious because he thinks about things in his heart. Faintly, he felt that something was going to happen, and his heart was a little uneasy.

After the three of them had eaten, Xiao Xi cleaned up the leftovers on this table, and Uncle Zhao was also tired for a day and went back to the room to rest. Born a little uneasy, he returned to the room and began to try to cultivate again.

The aura of heaven and earth quickly gathered around, but when Tiansheng tried to introduce it into his body, the stinging sensation hit again.

"Still doesn't work?"

Lying on the ground with some discouragement, no matter how serious the previous injuries are, they can recover very quickly. It's been so long this time, and although the body is fine, it can't even attract the spirit into the body. It seems that the battle of divine consciousness is really dangerous, and even if it is defeated, it will hurt the fundamentals. It's hard to recover in a short period of time.

Lying on the ground bunk, drowsy, trying to cultivate twice today is a huge drain on physical strength and mind. After a while, Tiansheng couldn't hold on anymore, so he fell asleep like this.

When Xiaoxi entered the room and saw Tiansheng, who was already asleep, she pursed her mouth: "Really, sleep when you are full." ”

Although she said so, she still helped Tiansheng cover the quilt. Then I also went to bed, and after a hard day, I fell asleep quickly as soon as I lay down.

Dark night is taboo for the people of Xudu, let alone Halloween.

On this day, the people of Xudu slept earlier than at other times. went to bed early, and the man who got married hugged his daughter-in-law tightly and slept very sweetly. As for the single, he curled up tightly, trying to find a trace of warmth and safety.

On the empty streets, the whirring wind blew, adding a touch of chill to the entire capital city, and the wind gusted.

Born tossing and turning and unable to sleep, in a daze, he heard the sound of selling.

Outside, there seemed to be a lot of activity, with the sound of children fighting, the laughter of passers-by, and the sound of bargaining for things. There were also voices of quarrels and conflicts, but they were quickly silenced.

Tiansheng slowly opened his heavy eyes and looked out, only to see that it was still dark outside.

"It's not dawn yet, why are there so many people so early?"

Rubbing his eyes, he suddenly felt a shock and immediately sat up. At this time, his consciousness became clear again, and he felt that the sound outside seemed extremely strange.

Many of the bustling capitals have night markets, which are lively even late at night. But where is this? People here are used to going to bed early and never go out late at night, so the bustle outside is a bit unusual now.

"Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi. Born called softly twice, anxious to figure out what was going on.

Now I don't have any strength, but there are countless ghosts outside, and if I encounter danger, I really don't have the ability to protect myself at all.

Finally, under the call of Tiansheng, Xiaoxi slowly opened her eyes. The first thing I saw was a natural dignified look.

"What are you doing, uncle. I don't sleep at night. Xiao Xi muttered, obviously looking like she hadn't woken up yet.

"Did you hear the sound outside?" asked Innate.

This simple question shocked Xiaoxi: "Uncle, did you hear or see something?"

Tiansheng nodded solemnly.

"Could it be that the legend is true?" Xiao Xi covered her mouth in fright, she had no doubt that she was born to lie to her. The people who can enter the capital city from the outside are extraordinary. What's more, the uncle also said that he would take her to see the outside world and see the beautiful sea.

"What legend?" asked Tiansheng hurriedly.

"Legend has it that on Halloween, the gates of the underworld will be opened, and those who have died will enter the city. At that time, there would be a ghost market for ghosts to have fun and trade. ”

"Is there a ghost market? Will there be ghosts harming people that night?"

Xiao Xi thought about it, shook her head after a long time, but suddenly nodded. When she was puzzled, she explained: "Although I haven't seen it, I have heard my grandfather say that some people will die inexplicably at home on this day." ”

Tiansheng listened, and his brows furrowed slightly. According to the meaning of Xiaoxi's words, even if the ghost market appears and the hundred ghosts walk at night, it is generally safe. These ghosts will not slaughter the people in the city for no reason, and perhaps there are Yin soldiers to maintain the continuation of the ghost market, so that the evil spirits will not dare to mess around.

But this kind of security is not absolute, and there will be exceptions, such as tragedies of evil spirits killing people. This is the case with those who died inexplicably and tragically at home.

Looking at Xiao Xi's pale face, Tiansheng comforted: "Why are you afraid of being like this, aren't you okay for so many years?" Go to sleep, as soon as the morning dawns, everything is over." ”

"Yes. Xiao Xi nodded obediently, and then lay back on the bed, and after a while, there was a slight sound.

Tiansheng smiled and shook her head, this girl has a really big heart, she was worried that she would be so scared that she couldn't sleep, but she didn't expect that she was too worried.

Listening to the sounds outside, it was even noisier than the daytime market. I couldn't help but cover myself tightly and continue to sleep with my head covered.
