Chapter 280, Ghost City
"The dead took it?" Something was wrong with the statement. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's right, they were all taken away by the master, he said that it was not easy to manage outside, and he was afraid that they would go out and harm people, so he put it away, only the ghost market every month, can be released to walk around, and I am alone outside watching here." The child pouted, naΓ―ve don't want it.
"Master, do you still have a master?" I was confused.
"Why not? Everyone here believes in Taoism, especially children, who have been learning Taoism since birth, but few of them are as good as me. The child proudly puffed up his little chest.
I couldn't help but slander in my heart: I learned well, but I learned to die.
"Ghost market? What time? The Skull looked at it with a smile.
"Tonight will start at the beginning and end at the end of the night, and the master will come to see me then." The child smiled happily, revealing his cute little tiger teeth.
The three of us glanced at each other and couldn't help but sigh, it seems that this place is really not simple.
"Little brother, who is this statue carved in, it doesn't look like you." I pointed to the statue.
"Of course it's not me, it's my master!" The child looked up proudly.
"Why is there resentment in his eyes?" I'll ask again.
"Because he was angry, the original lord of the country here was too disobedient, believing the words of outsiders, not believing the words of the master, he built a large alchemy factory here, and specially used children under the age of three here to alchemy, and then the master became angry." The children spoke casually, but we listened to it in a cold sweat.
Angry? So kill all the people here? And with such a strange ritual, who is this Taoist leader? What does it have to do with Zhang Tianshi? Wouldn't it be one of the Dao Masters we're looking for?
The three of us glanced at each other again, it seems that there are quite a lot of things in this, and then I can't help but think of Bai Wuchang's words, and I can't help but snort lightly, I didn't expect that the ghost will also deceive people, and now no one can be trusted.
When the child saw me like this, he couldn't help frowning and looked at me with some disgust: "Sister, don't you believe it?" My master is a good person, really, it's just that he died a little early, because he has always been here, so he will teach everyone, but the lord here is a fool, listen to the words of humans, don't believe in the master, will be retributed, he took the medicine of the fake prescription, he died, and he didn't let go of the residents here, and then my master finally subdued him, and the residents here were infected by him, they would go crazy, and the master could only take them away. β
"What about the alchemist?" The statement looked at him.
"It's dead, and it also made the soul of the master's beating fly away, and it's gone." The child's smug neck.
"So that's the case, so these people are hanging to death like this?" I bowed my head at the corpse.
"Well, this wasn't made by the master, they got it themselves, and the master pondered it for several days." The child pouted.
"Who is that alchemist?" The Skull didn't understand, what kind of power did it have to be?
"I don't know, the master said that he wasn't from here, but from what domain." The child pouted and thought for a while before answering.
"Ghost Domain?" Skull answered.
"Yes, that's it, Ghost Domain!" The child smiled happily at the skeleton.
But none of the three of us could laugh, how could this place be related to the ghost domain again, and what kind of medicine did that Fang Shi give to the people here to cause such a spectacular scene.
"Hurry up, the ghost market is about to start, and I'm going to find the master too." The child stood up from the table, this time at eye level with us.
"We just want to see your master, and the other ghosts don't need to, and when the ghost market is over, we'll see your master again, okay?" I had an idea right away.
"Hmmm! Good! Then I won't tell the master yet, you go to a room on the left side of the center of the square and wait, there is no one dead there, it turned out to be an empty room, and when the ghost market is over, I will come to you and take you there. The child flashed and disappeared.
Out of the cellar, I looked at Su Chun and asked the child about the place, and Su Chun said that he knew and would take us there.
Of course, we didn't tell Su Chun what happened in the cellar, and he didn't know what we saw inside, but he was here, I think he should know something, I didn't say it, I just wanted to see how he performed, to be honest, I haven't reached safe trust with him.
We followed him through a small square and into a small house that was not very large, with no furniture, not even chairs, just an empty house.
There were so many of us that as soon as we all came in, it was a little crowded.
I squatted on the sand, looking at the buildings opposite, still in Chinese style, but not like yurts, they were all ordinary adobe houses, and there were also one or two small two-story buildings, but the upstairs was not inhabited, it should be a place for drying things, and these may have something to do with the Taoist chief.
At this moment, I found that Su Chun pulled Chen Sheng's hand from the side, glanced at his watch, I stretched out my leg and kicked on his foot, and asked softly, "What are you doing?" β
"Look at the time, today is fifteen, there is a ghost market, and the time is in the sub-hour, where we are, is the safest, if we let them find us, we will be attacked, so no matter what surprised scenes you see for a while, you must stay calm, don't talk loudly, don't talk to them, you will see unexpected scenes." Su Chun's voice was lowered.
"We're afraid of them?" Zhao Cangran pointed to his nose with a puzzled expression.
"There are too many, as long as they arrive at Mao, they will leave, and then we can pass through the passage under the city here, until we reach the tomb of the Heavenly Master." Su Chun pointed to the tower-like building of the city gate.
"There?" I looked at him.
"Yes, the Celestial Master's Tomb is just below the Leader's Palace." Su Chun nodded.
"You know that well?" The statement looked at him indifferently.
"I know that I know, and I have brought people here, but none of them can be opened, I hope you can." Su Chun raised the corners of his mouth lightly, it was an inexplicable smile.
At this moment, Xiao Wu made a silent gesture to us and pointed to the outside of the house, which had changed at this time.
First, two rows of white lanterns floated out, floating neatly in the air, illuminating the square in a gloomy blue, because the flames in the lanterns were not normal candles, but blue ghost fires.
Then it became lively, people wearing traditional Mongolian costumes, holding in their hands, carrying large bags and small baskets of things in an orderly manner, began to sell things, and shouted lively.
The next thing to come on the stage is the guests from all walks of life, there are all kinds of costumes, and finally in this group of people, we also saw a lot of people in modern clothes, I turned my head to look at Su Chun, he just had a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at the square intently, my heart twitched, this old boy is making a mistake, it won't be those people who he deliberately stayed here, right?
I couldn't help but glance at him more, and this time, I was more sure of my thoughts, for the joy and contempt flashed in his eyes.
I leaned my head on the ear of the statement: "Su Chun, this old boy is not authentic, let everyone be careful, don't follow his way." β
The statement nodded and attached it to my ear: "I have said it a long time ago. β
I nodded, let go of what I was carrying, and looked at the ghost market in the square again. (To be continued.) )
