Fanwai 48 Ghost Market

Gradually, I don't know when, the moon overhead was covered by a dark cloud, but the downtown area was still lively, and as the Yuan team continued to go deeper, the former asphalt road turned into an ancient bluestone slab.

"Hehe, interesting, when did Qingning City take the retro route."

Team Yuan glanced at the bluestone slab on the ground, looking at the whole sky was also gloomy, as if it was covered by a layer of black cloth, neither the stars nor the moon could be seen, and the hawkers on both sides of the road were so strange that they did not use electric lights, but used white candles to illuminate, but Yuan Team looked all the way from afar, these candles did not emit a reddish light, but a piece of dark green, which also made Team Yuan rub his eyes, and felt a sense of depression. It is true that there are some shops with their doors open, although they do not light white candles, but there is a large white lantern hanging in every shop, and a gust of wind blows, and the big white lantern floats around, giving people a sense of crumbling.

And Team Yuan looked at the pedestrians on the street walking together in twos and threes, but Team Yuan didn't understand a word of what they said, and at this moment, Team Yuan stood on the street, as if he was in another world, and he was out of step with this world, which seemed so dazzling.

Team Yuan's heart tightened, and he murmured, "What the hell is this place." ”

Just when the Yuan team was puzzled, a passer-by passed by the Yuan team gloomily, and the Yuan team looked up to see that the passer-by was an old man, he was wearing a long shirt, there seemed to be a short jacket in the long shirt, and outside the long shirt, there was a white horse coat, in short, there were many layers worn inside and out, but the most dazzling thing was the word "Shou" on the old man's chest.

When Team Yuan saw this, his heart was like ashes, because he knew that only the dead would wear a shroud, and the people here, he looked at it, and a word for longevity was written on everyone's chest, making sure that everyone was wearing a shroud.

Shroud, is the clothes for the deceased, refers to the clothes worn for the deceased, is also a Chinese culture, after the death of the elderly, there should be a wrapping of the body inside, similar to a cloak, but also according to the age of the relatives, the physiognomy, to determine the number of shrouds, as well as the color pattern.

In ancient times, when the emperor died, the shroud was a 15-piece suit, that is, 9 collars, 5 waists and a cloak (also meaning 95 statues. ); It is a 13-piece set for the royal family, an 11-piece suit for the ministers, a 9-piece set for the rich and noble, and a 7-piece set for cloth clothes.

In the pattern, the emperor is an auspicious cloud dragon, the royal family is a dragon, the minister is a green python, and the grass people are mainly flowers and plants.

The modern ones are also simple, but Team Yuan still remembers that when his grandfather died in the past, he was just 100 years old, which was a happy funeral, so he wore nine pieces of clothing.

"Did I come to the ghost market?"

Team Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had strayed into the ghost market.

Baiyun Mountain Cave ---

The snake girl twisted her body and said, "You can take care of the three corpse Daoists, that kid will die soon." ”

The three corpse Taoists had sallow faces, stood up, walked back and forth, and said: "Before, the coffin Taoist, with Yuan Jun's kid, had already resolved the grievances with your grandmother, you are a person who moves the coffin Taoist, aren't you afraid of the coffin Taoist, and your grandmother will punish you!" ”

The snake girl had a peachy complexion, bright lips, and grinned: "I didn't do it myself, but let the powerful ghost within a radius of ten miles scare him, so that the yang fire on his body was extinguished by two, when his yin qi was weak, and then by the ghost practice, a trick to cover the eyes of the ghost, automatically let this kid enter the ghost market, you must know that the ghost market is full of yin, the people in the yang world have been here for a long time, and when the three fires on the body are all extinguished, I am burning a talisman to black and white impermanence, let black and white impermanence detain the soul, and when the time comes, even if he is alive, he is dead...... Hahaha......"

After listening to the snake girl's plan, the three corpse daoists squinted their eyes, gently pinched the snake girl's delicate face, and said, "You goblin, I really thought that you sent a powerful ghost to ask for your life." ”

"I did send a ghost to ask for my life before, but I didn't expect that this kid would have some fur and actually send the female ghost in white away, and then I thought of letting the ghost go within a radius of ten miles to ask for his life, but when I thought about it, if this kid is really dead, as soon as the coffin Taoist priest asks about it, you and I may suffer."

"What I'm saying is that you haven't done anything to that kid now, but just sent a ghost to scare him, who knew that kid was so timid, hahaha......"

"Oh no, how am I going to get out, I heard Qian Zi also say before, this ghost city is different from Yangyang, there are ghosts everywhere, they are talking nonsense, if I open my mouth, it will be exposed."

As Team Yuan walked, looking at the ghosts all over the street, he was depressed and frightened, because these ghosts, in addition to selling some daily necessities, also sold coffin boards, all kinds of shrouds, and even organs and internal organs of living people.

Team Yuan looked at a hawker, there were human limbs, organs, etc. on the ground, the ground was bloody, he closed his eyes in fear, and he didn't dare to come out, and at that moment, someone pulled Team Yuan violently and whispered: "Follow me!" ”

Team Yuan opened his eyes and looked at a white-haired old man with a crane-haired face standing in front of him, the old man's face was red, and he was also wearing a shroud, so frightened that Team Yuan shrank back and muttered, "Don't come here...... Don't come over ......."

"Are you called Yuan Jun!"

Team Yuan listened to what the old man said, then turned his face around, and said excitedly: "What you said! ”

"I'm not a ghost."

"But you're wearing a shroud!"

Team Yuan was still a little uneasy in his heart, pointing to the shroud on the old man's body, and said.

"My name is Hao Shuai, I originally came down to do some errands, but I didn't know that my old friend suddenly notified me and asked me to rescue someone, and that person is you."

After hearing this, Team Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Is the old friend you said a coffin Taoist priest - Cui Zhi!" Cui Daochang, you said that your name is Hao Shuai, are you the previous head of Maoshan! The master in the mouth of the money son! ”

The white-haired old man touched his beard and smiled, and said, "Cui Zhi, this old boy, has not contacted me for fifty years, and now he actually notified me for a future life, which really didn't make me expect." ”

"Then are you the former head of Maoshan Sect!"

"It's down there!"

The Yuan team looked at the old man again, although the old man was seventy or eighty years old, but he looked like a man outside the world, with the temperament of an immortal, and often listened to Qian Zi's mouth nagging and showing off, saying that his master was talented since he was a child, he could draw talismans and chant spells at the age of three, and at the age of nine he could single-handedly pick up the nine elders, and the nine elders were tied, and since Hao Shuai, Maoshan Since then, there is no such talent, and now the Yuan team sees Hao Shuai's true face, his heart is full of joy, and he said: "Hao Shuai Daochang, thank you." ”
