Chapter 125: Ghost Market
"I saw that you had stopped, as if you had noticed my footsteps, and I immediately hid behind a tree. I saw it clearly, haha, it scared Liu Hao at the time, I ......"
Before Doudou finished speaking, his eyelids rolled and he actually fainted again.
Boss Xie hugged him from behind.
It turned out to be Boss Xie, who used a small plaster-like sticker and pasted it behind Doudou's ear, which should be a kind of drug.
"The more you know, the more dangerous it becomes, so let's just let him stay here and take him back to the campsite when we get back." "Boss Xie explained to everyone what he did just now.
Everyone helped Boss Xie settle Doudou, and Boss Xie walked straight to the statue of the general, not slamming the shrine with one hand like Lin Wei, but holding the shrine with both hands at the same time, pushing twice to the left and three times to the right.
"Boom!" there was a loud bang.
The shrine carrying a huge idol actually began to pan to the right, and behind the idol was a door.
Entering the door is a road, and it takes five minutes to walk out of the road, which is the other side of the mountain with the back of the General's Temple.
But the mountain was foggy, and visibility was less than 10 meters.
Boss Xie led the way in front, and the road was full of weeds and shrubs more than half a person high, and there was no road at all, so everyone walked slowly.
Zhao Fei looked up at the sky, trying to determine which direction everyone was heading, but the fog here was too great and he couldn't see the starry sky at all.
It is worthy of the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains, and after walking for a while, I feel that the environment is very treacherous, the sky is clear outside, the vegetation inside is dense, drowsy, and from time to time there are gusts of wind.
There are countless spotted toads, jungle tree pythons, and centipedes, and it seems that mosquitoes are the size of a palm, and they are all about to catch up with the Amazon jungle.
The road ahead became darker and darker, Zhao Fei turned on the strong flashlight, and was immediately turned off by Boss Xie.
Zhao Fei looked at his watch, he had been walking for half an hour, and the further he went, the denser the vegetation became, the more poisonous insects and miasma became, and the light became more and more dim.
Liu Hao walked up to Zhao Fei and whispered: "Zhao Fei, I don't feel that the situation is quite right!
Zhao Fei patted Liu Hao on the shoulder: "Boss Xie and my father are old friends, so it should be fine." ”
But in fact, Zhao Fei also has a delusion, everyone seems to be moving towards a road of no return, a road to a world that does not belong to this world, a road to hell.
He could only concentrate highly and be wary of the danger that suddenly came his way.
Suddenly, Zhao Fei heard the grass around him shaking and making a loud noise, as if some behemoth was shuttling in it, and it was coming towards everyone.
Liu Hao's face changed, and he shouted "Oops"!
Boss Xie, who was walking in the front, immediately turned around and made a booing gesture, "That's the sound of the camera changing direction." Everyone should be on camera, be happy!"
Liu Hao was so frightened by this sudden change that he almost left his body, and Boss Xie told everyone that it was a camera, which was really crying and laughing.
Boss Xie led the way in front of him and suddenly stopped, stepped on the ground, and then, five minecarts appeared in front of everyone, although the minecarts were very simple, but at least there were two seats in each car.
Everyone got on the minecart, and the minecart drove downhill to the depths of the underground along the underground tunnel.
After ten minutes of jolting, Liu Hao felt like he wanted to vomit out his stomach.
The minecart is parked in a large mine.
Boss Xie got out of the car and continued to walk with everyone.
After walking a dozen steps and stopping, Zhao Fei took a few steps forward, and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.
In front of me is a basin in the mine, there are many people standing and squatting, and some people are setting kerosene lamps at their feet, but the lights are very dim, it is really like a "ghost fire" seen in the cemetery at night.
The crowd of black pressure felt like there were almost thousands of people, and there were shaking flashlight beams everywhere.
"Blue Wolf Society Ghost Market!" Lin Wei also walked to Boss Xie and said to him.
"Exactly. Boss Xie said to everyone, "At the beginning of the establishment of the Blue Wolf Society, it was to control all the trade on the Silk Road, and at that time, there were various markets in ancient Chang'an City. ”
However, the Qing Dynasty closed the country, and all kinds of trade were strictly controlled, because this camel ridge was originally a necessary route for camel caravans between several provinces, so under the high-pressure policy of the Qing Dynasty, a new market was gradually formed here. ”
"But because this blue wolf society market only starts trading when it is dark, and people go to empty buildings at dawn, so it is called a 'ghost market' by everyone. ”
"Nowadays, it has become a gathering area for second-hand and smuggling, antique furniture, four treasures of the study, ancient books and paintings, agate jade, Chinese and foreign coins, shadow puppet masks, religious tokens, national costumes, antiques, foreign children, electronic products, and even daily necessities, except for slaves and people, as long as you can think of valuable items have been put on the shelves. ”
"In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, many dignitaries and dignitaries were in the middle of the road, or those Manchu nobles were down-and-out, and they took the antiques at home to the ghost market to sell. At that time, it was a loss of identity, so I could only choose to trade at night in the ghost market. ”
Boss Xie took out a few Peking Opera masks from his backpack and distributed them to everyone.
"I want Guan Yu. Liu Hao was quick and snatched Guan Yu's mask at once.
"Uncle Xie, what is the reason for giving everyone masks?" Zhao Fei took a Cao Cao's big white face mask and asked Boss Xie.
"All traders who enter the ghost market must hide their identities, so masking is a traditional custom!"
Lin Wei and Xiao Xue wore the Peking Opera masks of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao respectively, and Boss Xie brought a Zhang Fei's.
Everyone followed Boss Xie into the ghost market, only to see a sea of people, all of them were tightly disguised, and they couldn't see anyone's face clearly, some masks were blue-faced and fanged, and some were directly killing Matt style, Hello Kitty and Hokage also had a lot of shapes, it was better to say that it was a big market for cosplay.
The largest area is to sell old clothes, old shoes and old hats, a lot of them, there is a rag under the good clothes, and the tattered clothes are spread on the ground.
Liu Hao immediately went to a stall with a bunch of DVD discs to see, Boss Xie threw him a flashlight, smiled at him and said: "Visiting the ghost market, the most important tool is the flashlight, although sometimes the seller's light is already very bright, but the flashlight still has to be brought, in addition to taking care of the goods, it is also a status symbol, that is, to prove that it is not a layman." ”
Liu Hao thanked Boss Xie, and when he just picked two discs, Xie Lao said to Liu Hao again: "'Ghost Market' is also particular, you don't ask about the goods, you can't ask the source of the goods, you are optimistic about paying the money with one hand, delivering the goods with the other hand, and you can turn around and not admit it after the two clearances." Even the first seat of the Cangyun Society can't break this rule. ”
Liu Hao raised his eyebrows, thinking that he just wanted to pick a few Cantonese versions of kung fu movies, but Boss Xie told him so much, and Xiaoxue looked at him with contempt when he saw Tao Die.
Liu Hao suddenly felt a lot of pressure, so he put down the dish in his hand, stopped buying it, smiled at everyone, and said, "I'm just going to take a look!"
Lin Wei was not in the mood to visit this thrift market, so she said to Boss Xie, "Where are we going next?"
Boss Xie smiled: "Don't be impatient, the next location, we will definitely not be able to find it by ourselves, we have to go around here a few times, and someone will naturally take us over." ”
Liu Hao seemed to be in the spirit again, "It sounds like a spy war movie, where are you going?"
"Camel Gang Hall!"
"What are the camels?"
"This place is Camel Ridge, how can there be a camel gang!"
