174. Monks and Taoists
"Let's go upstairs, brother, you can get us some food in a while, I'm starving," the spirit said with a grin, and then raised his feet and walked to the second floor of the attic, where each attic has two floors.
Li Zimu looked at this teahouse, the traditional Eight Immortals table and long wooden bench, a total of more than a dozen tables can be placed on the first floor plus the side hall of the lobby, and there are already five or six people sitting on the tables at this time.
Most of them wore masks, and there were a few people who didn't wear masks, he didn't know them, most of them were around forty years old, some wore long swords, and some carried various weapons. One of the three people sitting at a table in the middle of the hall was wearing a gossip robe, looking like a fairy wind and bones.
"Come up, what are you doing here...... " Chi Ling said as he looked at Li Zimu below from the fence on the second floor, and the latter did not continue to observe and raised his feet upstairs. It's kind of interesting, Li Zimu thought to himself.
"Miss, please use it slowly"
After a while, a guy went up to the second floor with some food, walked straight to Li Zimu's table, put it down, and said respectfully to Chi Ling, he is also a person from Chijiazhai, but he is not so good, he can only fight for others, and this job is still everyone is scrambling to come to it, because there is a lot of oil and water to be fished, from the previous time to now I have received a reward of two copper coins, this can be exchanged for Huaxia coins by grandma.
"Okay, you go down, by the way, ask my brother to get a pot of tea" Chi Ling took off his mask and nodded, and threw a copper plate to her, the latter smiled and went downstairs, the young lady was generous, and after a while, a pot of tea and three teacups came up.
"Eh, why is there no signal on the mobile phone?" Chi Ling looked at the three words no service in the upper left corner of the mobile phone and said speechlessly, there was still a signal when he was in Shennong Villa before, but after coming here, there was no signal at all.
"This is already a deep mountain and old forest, and it is normal if there is no signal, and it is very likely that there are some devices to shield the signal," Zhang Jingyang smiled and said, this kind of place is a top secret place, and there are still some means to do it, and people in the rivers and lakes generally do not say this place outside, after all, this is the last paradise for these people, so it is natural to cherish it.
"Well, good tea" Li Zimu nodded and said, the tea is Junshan silver needles produced in Dongting Lake in southern Xiangnan, the tea is as thin as a needle, and the package is solid and complete, outsiders generally call it gold inlaid jade, because there is gold and white. And this tea brewed just right, although there are some flaws in washing the tea, resulting in some of the tea leaves are all stretched, but overall it is pretty good.
"Where are we going later?" Grandma didn't allow me to go anywhere when I came here before, but she didn't tell me this time," said the Spirit, eating her pastry, she was already a little hungry. In the past, she and her brother had a buddy who came with her grandmother, but her grandmother only didn't let her out of this teahouse, saying that it was chaotic outside, and it was easy for a girl's family to go out to provoke right and wrong.
"Don't worry, I'll talk about it after the time" Li Zimu took a sip of tea and said without raising his head, this is the time to welcome guests, and it is not yet the time to officially start the main event, and now there is still an hour before the ugly time, and they are early.
"Have you been here before, how do you feel like you're quite familiar with this place?" said Chi Ling, who was wearing a black cat half-face mask, and the appearance of lowering his head to sip tea was simply not too good-looking, just like an ancient chivalrous man, not frightened, not irritated, no sorrow or joy.
"I've been" Li Zimu put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly, using his index finger and thumb together, gently picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, put it on his lips and took a bite, and then he smelled a faint fragrance and rushed out and drilled straight into his nose.
He used to live here alone, once the Fengyun Building, one of the nine floors, was where he lived, at that time, except for the time when the ghost market opened every year, he couldn't even look at half a person at other times, and it was very clean, which was suitable for a lonely person like him.
"Then can you take us to have some fun in a while?" I have a treat," Chi Ling said with a smile, and when she left, she begged for a lot of copper plates and a silver from her grandmother, enough for them to spend, and she knew that in this ghost market, one silver could be exchanged for two hundred copper coins.
"Hehe, good" Li Zimu chuckled and said, with the little money in this girl's hand, it's okay to go to these small shops to buy things, if you really want to go to the Ninth Building, the three of them can spend more than half of the entrance fee alone, let alone buy the things inside.
"Then where is our next target?" Chi Ling said excitedly, with Li Zimu by his side, he is not afraid of any danger, since there is no danger, of course he is just going to go shopping, otherwise I don't know when I will come to the ghost market next time.
"Chouyin Commercial Building" Li Zimu said lightly, looking at the pedestrians coming and going downstairs. At this point now, the most suitable place to go is naturally the ugly cow commercial building.
Chouyin Commercial Building, as the name suggests, is a place where merchants gather, everything is sold here, but it is generally some strange things, there are precious medicinal materials, swords and weapons, antique jewelry, and martial arts cheats.
There is also an auction hall held in the ghost market, but the Chouyin commercial building will only be open when it is ugly and new, that is, it is open for four hours from 1 a.m. to 5 o'clock, and the door is closed at other times.
"It's you again, a fake Taoist, I can touch you there, do you think I won't recognize you if you wear a shell?"
Just when the few people upstairs were still bored to pass the time, a rough voice sounded downstairs, Li Zimu turned his head to look below, and saw a monk-like person wearing a face mask and a robe, standing below and talking.
"You old bald man, it's okay not to stay in your broken temple and run here to do something, it won't be that you want to enter the Rouge Pavilion, yes, only there you monk has entered and no one cares about you, if you are outside, I am afraid that you will be beaten out by your abbot" Then a voice came out, Li Zimu smiled, it should be the Taoist priest who was sitting in the corner before.
Everyone below laughed out loud, Rouge Pavilion is the prostitute and courtyard that Li Zimu and they passed by before. Rouge Lou does anyone's business, no matter what your identity is, as long as you pay the money, here, money is the king's law.
"With your swaggering dress all day long, could it be that you are here to tell people fortunes and show their faces?" the monk replied with a blushing face.
"Phew, the so-called Taoist priest in troubled times went down the mountain, and the monks in the prosperous times collected money. My Taoist is much more moral than your Buddhist," the Taoist priest said disdainfully, these two people are old enemies at a glance, even the accent is the same, maybe they are still from the same place.
