Chapter Forty-Eight: Ghost Market Thrill Tour
For the next period of time, Zhang Tianyu practiced at home every day, while Zhong Ling was doing market research, because there was a problem in the underworld, and there were many wandering spirits and wild ghosts who were stuck in the world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Time flies quickly, and there are still three days before the ghost market opens, Zhang Tianyu is even more excited, hoping that all the things in his hands will come out.
On the fifteenth, after they had dinner, they set off for the ghost market, because during the day, the ghost market would not open, so after dinner, they set off.
As for the location of the ghost market, Zhong Ling said that it was in the suburbs.
This suburb is very remote, Zhang Tianyu and Zhong Ling walked to the so-called ghost market with a lockbox, and the lockbox naturally contained the ancient antiques they earned from doing business.
The trees and weeds in the suburbs began to increase, the road was very difficult to walk, if you want to drive in, you must be stuck in the middle of the road, they walked for about half an hour, only to find that this suburb has a deserted and almost collapsing dilapidated buildings, this abandoned building has long been empty, the original residents have all left.
Standing in the distance, these buildings are all showing a gray-brown, desolate, bleak feeling, this extremely gloomy atmosphere is coming, and even Zhang Tianyu also feels that there is a whimper sound from these buildings, as if all the people living here are wandering ghosts, there is no one around, when they are about to enter this area, Zhang Tianyu feels that the air around him has fallen, the wind is gusting, and the cold is biting.
Zhang Tianyu hugged his shoulders coldly, Zhong Ling turned his head and asked, "It's okay." ”
Zhang Tianyu nodded, signaling that there was nothing to do.
They got closer and closer to this building, and Zhang Tianyu frowned slightly and said, "Master, this ghost market is here?" It can't really be a ghost to do the deal, the yin here is too heavy, and it's impossible to do without ghosts. ”
Zhong Ling's eyes lit up, and he pointed to a dark shadow in front of him and said, "There are people and ghosts, let's go in, I saw the administrator." ”
Zhang Tianyu looked in the direction that Zhong Ling's arm was pointing, and sure enough, there was a tall black shadow standing in front of the abandoned real estate, and they walked in to take a look, and found that it was a burly man with a rough face and a centipede scar on his face Standing there expressionlessly, and when he saw Zhong Ling coming, he nodded slightly.
"Who is this?"
The man obviously knew Zhong Ling and began to interrogate Zhang Tianyu directly.
Zhong Ling took out a white jade pendant the size of a palm and handed it to the man and said, "He came with me, and he has something in his hand to get rid of." ”
The man looked at Zhang Tianyu carefully, and finally asked with some caution: "It's not a strip." ”
"It's not."
Zhong Ling smiled slightly, and took Zhang Tianyu to walk inside, surrounded by tall floors, dark, although there were street lights on the side of the road, but the bulb was only sixty watts, and it was three meters high, every five or six meters, there would be such a thing.
On the rusty steel frame, there were swaying bulbs that emitted a dim yellow halo, making everything around him look very mysterious, Zhang Tianyu suddenly felt an extreme cold surrounding him, and then found that small vendors had slowly appeared on both sides, but their figures were very thin, and they were actually some ghosts selling things, and when he was a little surprised, Zhong Ling's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"This is a ghost street, go straight ahead, don't look back."
Zhong Ling took Zhang Tianyu's hand with one hand and quickened his pace, Zhang Tianyu lowered his head and walked forward, feeling his heartbeat suddenly quicken, because he felt countless eyes sweeping towards them.
Finally crossing this ghost street, Zhang Tianyu let out a long breath and almost sat on the ground.
"I'm going to change things, you don't have to go far, there is no signal on the mobile phone here, there is no special leader, you can't get out of the ghost city, you just play next to it, I'll come out soon."
Zhong Ling stopped in front of an ancient building and said to Zhang Tianyu, this ancient building is very similar to the Hui style building, and there is a horizontal plaque, on which the dragon and the phoenix dance are written "Ruyi Zhai" three big characters, these three big characters are vigorous and powerful, and they are from the hands of famous teachers at a glance.
The gate of Ruyizhai is also a very old vermilion lacquered wooden door, and there are two lions with two copper rings on it.
There are many rules in the ghost market that cannot be violated, otherwise you will suffer unimaginable consequences.
Zhang Tianyu handed the lockbox in his hand to Zhong Ling, and then walked around on the side, at this time, many people appeared on the street of Ruyizhai, but no one approached this Ruyizhai.
Some of the stall owners, apparently from other provinces and cities, were talking to a buyer with a very strong accent, and the street was like a stall, and at a glance there were dozens of stalls, some of whom spread a layer of white cloth directly on the ground, and then put the antique on it, and then put a lamp in the center of the item.
This street is very popular, and there are many buyers, and after a while, it is full of people, just like a vegetable market, and the popularity is booming.
There are many antiques here, including Buddha statues, Tang Sancai, jade pendants, copper kettles, porcelain, etc., which are dazzling, so that Zhang Tianyu is full of eye blessings.
After the crowd reached a saturation level, no one came in, and the ghost market had reached the peak of trading, among this group of people, Zhang Tianyu even saw some disciples in the spell world, and some of them exuded an extremely strange aura, those were monsters.
Zhang Tianyu walked from the street to the end of the street, but most of them were just to see, and he didn't understand these, although he saw one or two treasures, but the price was too expensive, and he didn't know the price, if he really wanted to buy it, he would only be slaughtered.
When he reached the end of the street, he found that some disciples of the magic world were hurrying towards another street, and that street was full of ghosts, like a ghost, it was the ghost street they had passed before, but now that they looked at it, it was really a little creepy.
Why don't you go to the ghost town? Zhang Tianyu thought with some curiosity.
Just as he hesitated, he seemed to see a familiar shadow on the other side of the ghost street.
Zhang Tianyu thought about it and planned to go to the ghost street.
Just as he was about to enter the ghost street, a crisp voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Why don't you go in like this? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble and straying into the underworld? It is difficult for a living person to come out again when he enters the underworld, and even if he can come out, he will have to reduce his yang life. ”
Zhang Tianyu looked back, it was a cold woman, the woman was about twenty years old, wearing a small jacket suit, denim leggings and willow boots underneath, her skin was very white, blown-out and broken, with a ponytail braid, and two crystal chains hanging from her delicate earlobes, swaying gently as she walked.
"I just saw someone else go in like this, is there a problem? Who are you? Why is it wrong for me to enter the ghost street like this? It's my first time in the ghost market, and I don't know the rules here. Zhang Tianyu asked with a slight smile at the woman.
"I ...... I'm Liu Mei'er, graduated from college this year, I helped my grandfather manage this ghost city together, and I want this token to enter this ghost market, otherwise it will be easy to enter the underworld with these ghosts, so I will never be able to get out again, this token is for you, no wonder I see you so faced. ”
Liu Mei'er gave Zhang Tianyu a nearly transparent brand with a shy face, he pinched this brand, and knew that it was made of plexiglass sheets, and there was also a talisman inlaid in it, he took a closer look, it was a ghost avoidance spell, and he laughed.
"What's wrong, there's something wrong with this token?" Liu Mei'er pursed her lips, a little dissatisfied, it was obvious that she had a lot of confidence in this token.
"No, although I'm not from the magic world, I can still cast this spell, and you drew it? Very good. ”
Zhang Tianyu put away the token and tried to squeeze out a kind smile, this Liu Meier has an irresistible temperament, and she is still a half-demon body.
Listening to Zhang Tianyu's words, Liu Mei'er's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes showed a suspicious look, but she looked a little afraid, "This is what I painted, and no one taught me, as if I was born to be the same." ”
"Come to me when you have time to come to this shop on the other side, my master is amazing, so she can teach you a lot of spells!" Zhang Tianyu said to her very seriously.
"Well, okay, I promise you." Liu Mei'er gritted her teeth, her eyes were a little cloudy, she looked at the direction of Ruyizhai, and nodded.
Her expression was a little struggling, obviously she had something on her mind, but since she didn't want to say it, it proved that she had her own difficulties, so Zhang Tianyu didn't ask again.
"You give me your contact information, and I'll call you when the time comes."
"yes, okay." Liu Meier happily reported her mobile phone number.
After Liu Meier left, Zhang Tianyu walked to the ghost street.
Stepping into this ghostly street, as soon as he entered, the token inlaid with the ghost avoidance spell on Zhang Tianyu's body emitted a soft aura that surrounded him.
The ghost street is basically the same as the antique street he walked through, but there are few people inside, and in the depths of the ghost street is a dark hole, from time to time ghosts will float through it, and on either side of the hole are two tall men, both wearing sunglasses, standing there to maintain order.
"It's a bad thing." Zhang Tianyu secretly exclaimed, he didn't expect that there was still a yin difference in this ghost street to maintain order.
He looked up and saw through the shadows of ghosts a huge body haggling in front of a wheelbarrow.
The fat man is particularly conspicuous here, his body is so large that people don't want to pay attention to it.
Zhang Tianyu couldn't help but walk up.
The stall owner was an old man, his whole body was very shriveled, and the moisture in his whole body had disappeared, as if he had put a human skin on top of a skeleton, much like a dried corpse, especially his deep eye sockets, which looked creepy.
"Old man, your thing is worth this price, don't want to charge more for my dark coins, my fat master doesn't eat this set." The fat man pointed to one of the tricycles and spoke to the old man with a big grin.
"No, this birthday cake said that it can't be exchanged for dark coins, you have to give me an exorcism talisman, now the dungeon is very chaotic, what do I want your dark coins for." The old man waved his hand again and again.
Zhang Tianyu followed the fat man's gaze and saw that the wooden three-wheeled cart was steaming hot, and a cart of snow-white rice cakes was placed inside, covered with a white cloth, and these rice cakes looked attractive.
"Fat man, I don't have a charm, I want a piece of Shou Gong today, don't embarrass me, I'm a doorman of Wuliang Temple, I think you should know it very well." The fat man glared at the thin old man viciously, and his tone was very impatient.
"I said fatty, why are you bullying ghosts, or a corpse, you are really a bully, what do you want these rice cakes for. Shou ointment? Isn't it sold in the county store, why don't you come here to buy it? You really have a character. Zhang Tianyu walked over and couldn't help asking.
"Phew, what do you kid know? Do you know who this old man is, he is the borrowed Shou Gong of the underworld, if he makes the longevity paste if it is often eaten, it will prolong life, and the main role is that these longevity paste can dissolve a hundred poisons, if you encounter the thousand-year-old zombie in the future, scratched by him, as long as you eat a small bite, the corpse poison will also be dispersed. The fat man glared at Zhang Tianyu and spoke mysteriously.
"Oh? I see, how many ghost exorcism charms do you have for this longevity ointment? Zhang Tianyu stared at the snow-white life paste inside the tricycle, raised his head and asked.
What was going to be said by borrowing Shou Cheng, but as soon as he saw Zhang Tianyu, his whole body suddenly trembled, pointed at me with one hand, and said in a lost voice: "You...... Don't you come here...... I'll give you all ......."
His eyes were full of fear, which made Zhang Tianyu puzzled.
"Old man, did you mistake me for someone else, this is the first time we've met." Zhang Tianyu stared at the frightened borrower, trying his best to show his sincere gaze.
"Borrowing Shougong, I didn't expect you, as a demigod-level existence, to be afraid of this kid, haha." The fat man looked at the old man's panicked appearance and laughed.
"You...... You're not Manju Sahua? Hey? It really doesn't seem to be? Am I dizzy? Yu Shougong rubbed his eyes, revealing a look of doubt on his face.
"You're talking about Manzhu Sahua, I know that before she was reincarnated, she stayed in the underworld for hundreds of years, and a lot of things happened, but I don't remember, there was a subvention of you before, don't blame it."
Zhang Tianyu knew that this borrowed Shougong must have seen him in the underworld, but he didn't remember these memories yet.
"It turned out to be a reincarnation, scared the old man to death, you stayed in the underworld before, but it made the whole underworld jump, even the ten halls of Yama can't do anything about you, not to mention that there is Lord Zhong Kui protecting you, and the supreme existence of the underworld also has a ...... for you"
Borrowing Shou Gong's mouth suddenly opened wide as he spoke, staring into the distance as if he had seen a ghost, although he himself was a ghost, Zhang Tianyu followed his gaze, and a familiar figure walked towards me, he took a closer look and found that it was Zhong Ling, Zhong Ling walked in front of Zhang Tianyu, and said softly: "Why did you run here?" ”
"Come and take a look, what's the matter, it's been handled? How much is it? ”
Zhang Tianyu asked with a smile when he saw Zhong Ling empty-handed, but he was always in a state of shock when he saw them.
"Thirteen million." Zhong Ling smiled quite proudly, Zhang Tianyu was stunned for a moment, and there was a short circuit in his brain.
"Are you...... You are...... ...... days"
Borrowing Shougong's mouth to stare at Zhong Ling, Zhong Ling turned around, frowned, this borrowed Shougong was silent, and his frightened look disappeared, leaving only respect.
"How many exorcism charms do you have for this longevity ointment?" Zhang Tianyu asked again.
"Ten exorcism talismans, but you knew me in your previous life, so I will accept you five exorcism talismans." Borrowing Shou Gong stared at Zhang Tianyu with a smile, and his skeletal face made his whole body cold.
"No, do you know how long it takes for a ghost exorcism talisman to take, besides, isn't it just a small piece of longevity ointment, ten exorcism talismans, five pieces of longevity ointment, I have a total of thirty-two exorcism talismans here, how about I only need fifteen pieces of longevity ointment for you?" Zhang Tianyu took out the exorcism charm from his satchel, and lightly said to Borrowing Shou, who immediately showed embarrassment.
"Is something really going on in the underworld?" Zhong Ling's eyes flickered a few times, and his face became cold.
"Well, I'm also getting some exorcism talismans for those yin chases, because many yin chases have been attacked, and Lord Zhong Kui has gone to the magic world to explore the Taiqing Sect's sealing land, and it should be a lot of demons and ghosts that have escaped to lead to this result." After borrowing Shou Gong, he replied respectfully, and then spoke again: "The underworld is already trying its best to curb this situation, and it may also recruit yin in the human world at the cost of Yang Shou and detain wandering ghosts. ”
"What, at the cost of Yangshou?" Zhang Tianyu was slightly startled.
"Yes, the arrest of ordinary wandering ghosts and wild ghosts has always been one day of yang longevity, the unjust ghost is three days of yang life, the evil ghost is seven days of yang life, and the evil ghost is fifteen days of yang life, as for the rakshasa ghost is thirty days of yang life, if the ghost king appears, the capture of one is a whole year of yang longevity, these are all decided by Lu Juan and Lord Zhong Kui, Lu Juan has a book of life and death in his hand." borrowed Shougong once again broke an earth-shattering news.
Zhang Tianyu's eyes flashed, and he asked: "Then these yang shou can be accumulated, if I earn a year's yang shou and don't use it myself, can I add it to others." ”
"It stands to reason that you can, after all, you earned these yang shou by yourself." After thinking about it, he spoke.
"Then do you have any intention of cooperating with our store, we can contribute a lot, hehe, my master has been to the underworld before, and he also knows Zhong Kui."
At this time, there was a long howl in the distance, the whistling sound came from far and near, after hearing this voice, borrowed Shou and said publicly: "This is going back to discuss with Lord Zhong Kui, okay, the time is almost up, I should close the stall, you take the longevity cream." ”
Then he handed Zhang Tianyu a paper-wrapped bag, which was full of snow-white longevity paste, and gave him all the exorcism charms on his body, and then borrowed Shougong to push the wooden three-wheeled cart to the depths of the ghost street with that skeletal shelf-like figure, and the wooden wheels pressed against the ground and made a creaking sound.
Except for the borrowing of Shougong, the rest of the ghosts who sold goods also entered the black hole deep in the street.
"Let's go, the ghost market is closing." Zhong Ling pulled Zhang Tianyu over, pulled him up and left.
When he left this ghost market, it was already five o'clock in the morning, Zhang Tianyu didn't expect it, and it was only a few hours after he went in.
Today's harvest is not small, the most important thing is Zhong Ling's 13 million, and there are thirteen pieces of longevity paste in Zhang Tianyu's hand, if ordinary people eat these longevity creams, they can increase their lifespan by half a year.
"Master, come, let's eat a piece first." Zhang Tianyu took out the longevity paste from the paper bag and handed it to Zhong Ling, and then grabbed one himself.
This rice cake is like made of glutinous rice, it is a little soft to catch, very fragrant and fragrant, just smelling these fragrances makes the mouth water, Zhang Tianyu took a bite of it, this longevity paste was like chewing wax in his mouth, he wanted to spit it out, but he was reluctant, after all, this piece of longevity paste was equivalent to half a year's life, he frowned, and swallowed it in one breath.
Zhong Ling watched from the sidelines, smiling from ear to ear.
