Chapter 32: Ghost City 2
The stall owner was dressed in white and covered his entire head, and Brother Mengyao saw that he was sitting in the air without speaking. When Yao Daoren took the jade in his hand, he raised his head, and the one eye that was exposed actually had no eyeballs, only a large white of the eye, and the half of his face shrugged, revealing a large piece of white bones. Brother Mengyao was startled, and he dodged back but was pulled by Yao Daoren: "I'm sorry, she is new today, and she doesn't understand the rules here." ”
The stall owner lowered his head, and his voice came ethereally: "As a human being, but with a dead breath, this is not a good thing, you can give this jade an ingot." ”
Brother Mengyao's face turned pale, but Yao Daoren smiled and took out a piece of gold ingots from his body, and Brother Mengyao was surprised to find that the gold ingots were actually paper ingots used by people to worship tombs on weekdays, golden yellow. But when the stall owner took it, Brother Mengyao suddenly found that the gold ingots had become real!
"Money, money" She pointed to the gold ingots and looked at Yao Daoren incredulously, but Yao Daoren held down her head and pulled her to the place with few ghosts in front of her: "Don't scream loudly, I saw the stall owner a few times in the ghost market just now, so people didn't say anything just now, you save some snacks." Yao Daoren shook his head helplessly, and handed the jade pendant he bought on the stall just now to Brother Meng Yao: "You still have a little popularity, and no one will find out with this, but you still have to be careful in your actions." ”
She was a little emotionally high, and took the jade pendant and hung it around her neck, and as soon as she hung it up, she felt a gust of wind blowing on the soles of her feet, making her hair bundle. The body retreated, Yao Daoren also felt the unusual wind, and keenly observed the surroundings, but saw that Brother Mengyao suddenly raised his feet and ran out, Yao Daoren saw her running for fear that something would happen and ran together, but Brother Mengyao was petite and disappeared for a while in the group of ghosts coming and going. Yao Daoren was stunned in the ghost group, but he couldn't find the whereabouts of Brother Mengyao, but he accidentally found Taoyuan.
Taoyuan was talking to the stall owner at an antique stall, and when he saw Yao Daoren standing alone in the group of ghosts, there was no Brother Mengyao who shouted to him: "Stinky Taoist, Brother Mengyao." ”
As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, Yao Daoren ran away, and Taoyuan didn't have the heart to continue talking to the stall owner, so he chased after him.
Brother Mengyao avoided the eyes of Yaksha all the way and chased him to the road outside, although it was early in the morning, but there were still passers-by on the road outside, and this side of the highway near the aisle, Brother Mengyao attracted the attention of the drivers outside as soon as he came up. Some people hurriedly drove away as if they had seen a ghost, while others drove the car slower out of curiosity.
Brother Meng Yao stood on the side of the road panting, stunned as he looked at the few vehicles that passed by. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew goosebumps on her body. Her head cleared for a moment, and her eyes suddenly looked to the other side of the road, and the floating figure was so familiar.
"Gu Yuan!" She shouted, the floating figure suddenly dispersed, changed to a different appearance, Brother Mengyao's eyes blinked twice, this figure was wearing the school uniform of Hainan No. 1 Middle School, the only difference was that he opened a very delicate face with black-framed glasses, and stared at Brother Mengyao with white eyes. She was stunned, and suddenly thought that the person Dai Rui and Shen Yufei discussed before was called Huang Chen.
Her eyes suddenly lifted: "Are you Huang Chen?" Bai Ying shook his head to answer, Brother Meng Yao bit his lower lip and took out the red cloth given by Yao Daoren from the backpack before, and ran there without saying a word, and then put Huang Chen's ghost shadow into the red cloth at a super fast speed, and then tied a knot and put it in the backpack.
Just as she was running back on her feet, a small car suddenly rushed over, and she didn't hear the sound of the car honking, Brother Mengyao screamed, and a brown shadow flashed, directly knocking her to the side, avoiding the roaring vehicle.
Yao Daoren frowned and looked at Brother Mengyao, who was scared, and said coldly: "What are you running around, didn't you tell you not to run around." ”
She was embarrassed to protect her backpack: "I saw Gu Yuan just now, didn't you say that when you see their souls, you have to wrap them in a red cloth, I was afraid that they would not be seen, so I chased them out." But unexpectedly, I didn't see Gu Yuan, but found Huang Chen, who was the first one to die before. As he spoke, he lifted his backpack. Yao Daoren was obviously not in his mind, but he sighed and continued: "Go back, since you have caught one, then the others must also be there, I will take you to meet one person first, and then go to find the others." As he spoke, he pulled her up, and Brother Mengyao screamed and covered his legs. Yao Daoren knew that she was injured when she screamed, and squatted down worriedly, only to find that the calf of his left leg had been cut by a stone, and he had already begun to stay bloody.
He nervously took out gauze and anti-inflammatory water from his body, and carefully helped her treat the wound. Brother Meng Yao didn't feel any special pain, and watched in surprise as Yao Daoren took out these things from his body: "You are really a jingle cat, you have everything, even red potions and gauze." As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Daoren glanced at her: "You are a physique that is often injured, how can you not carry these things with you." After speaking, he continued: "I will carry you, don't move." Saying that, he directly carried her on his back, and Brother Mengyao honestly put it on his back: "Who are we going to see." ”
Entered the path: "An old man who has retired." ”
"The retired old man? Why is he in the ghost market, is he no longer there? Brother Mengyao asked curiously.
Yao Daoren smiled: "It's not dead, that old thing has lived for hundreds of years, and the first time I saw him was about seven years old, and he retired after discussing things with the master in Maoshan at that time." When Maoshan was destroyed, he didn't know because he couldn't find him, but half a month after Maoshan was destroyed, he found me and told me that he was now appointed by the prefecture as the high-level administrator of the ghost city, and he was also regarded as an official and a half-official of the prefecture. Before leaving, I asked him to look for something, but I didn't think that I would really come to him after more than ten years. ”
This road is not far, and it has only been about twenty or thirty minutes, Taoyuan stood at the door and waited anxiously, and ran over in a hurry when he saw the two of them coming: "Brother Mengyao, do you have a poop in your brain, don't you ask you not to run around." As soon as he came up, he didn't give Brother Mengyao a good look.
Originally, she was the first to run, and Taoyuan was also worried when she reprimanded, and lowered her head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." As soon as she finished speaking, Taoyuan grabbed her leg nervously: "What's the matter?" As he spoke, he glared at Yao Daoren angrily. Yao Daoren's heart was empty: "I accidentally hit a stone on the road." ”
"Didn't you say you would take good care of her, are you stupid?"
"What's fierce, aren't people good?" Yao Daoren looked at Taoyuan and widened his eyes, and Brother Mengyao was caught between the two and pushed embarrassedly: "What are you doing, it's important, it's serious!" ”
When it came to business, the two of them slowed down.
"I'll take Brother Mengyao to find someone." Yao Daoren snorted and carried Brother Mengyao to the ghost market, Taoyuan snorted and laughed, and as soon as he laughed, the Yaksha over there reached out to block his way: "I'm sorry, you have already committed a foul just now, and you can't go in." ”
Yao Daoren suddenly remembered that there are rules in the ghost market, but anyone who ran out of the ghost market in a hurry could not enter it again, not to mention that Brother Meng Yao still ran out secretly just now, and he must have been recorded in the roster. Tao Yuan smiled smugly on the side: "You deserve it." Yao Daoren glared at him again and continued: "Then the two eldest brothers, can you help me contact the senior managers of your ghost market, this is a token." Yao Daoren put Brother Meng Yao down and took out what looked like a letter from his body.
As soon as the Yaksha brother heard that he was going to contact the top management to 'follow the strategy', he immediately asked, "What are you him?" ”
"I just happened to know each other."
"Acquaintance?" The two Yaksha exclaimed that the doctor's attitude immediately improved: "Please wait, we will contact you immediately." ”
One of Brother Mengyao's yaksha left in a panic and asked curiously, "Who is that Zhuce?" ”
"It's the guy I told you about." Brother Mengyao sighed, as soon as the words fell, the Yaksha over there brushed over, and the speed was as fast as the wind, and Brother Mengyao suspected that this Yaksha didn't contact him at all.
As soon as this yaksha came up, his face was happy: "A few adults, please come here, our executives are in the house not far away, I can't get in front, so I can only go by a few adults." As he spoke, he straightened up and shouted to the crowd of ghosts around him, "Make way for the road to the south, and the three adults will pass." As soon as his words fell, all the ghosts on the road to the south actually made way for a way, and Brother Mengyao was surprised that it was incredible.
"Thank you, two Yakshas." Yao Daoren nodded to the two and said thank you, picked up Brother Mengyao with his waist crossed, and walked to the empty road, with Taoyuan following behind. Brother Mengyao walked from the middle, and there were ghosts with their heads down on both sides, and for a moment she suddenly felt like an ancient emperor, admired by thousands of people.
Tao Yuan looked at Brother Meng Yao from behind with an excited look and shook his head helplessly: "You save some snacks, the person you want to see next is a big person." Brother Mengyao cut off: "What's wrong with the big guy, no matter how big the task is, I don't believe that I can kill people casually." ”
"He can't just kill people casually, you can die a hundred times with a hat." Taoyuan spoke honestly, and Brother Mengyao was immediately stunned when he heard it.
The road went south, unimpeded, and when the last point fell, the group of ghosts began to become crowded again.
Brother Mengyao's eyes saw things very clearly in the dark night, and after blinking twice, he found that there was really a house not far in front of him, and it was in ancient style. As soon as Yao Daoren came in, there was a faint worry on his face: "After you go in, don't speak, let me come, don't say anything, unless he asks." ”
Looking at his serious appearance, Brother Mengyao's originally excited heart changed, and he sighed: "I know." Taoyuan followed behind and looked at the old house and shook his head: "My favorite place to come to the ghost market is here, but this time I have to go in, the old man's mood is unpredictable, maybe there will be some problems for us in the end." ”
"It doesn't matter what problem he has, this time it's for Brother Mengyao, even if he is cheeky, he has to go in." He sighed and walked inside.
The gate of the courtyard was closed, and Yao Daoren automatically opened it as soon as he approached the door.
"It's the same as before, the doors here are automatic." Yao Daoren looked around and sighed at the special nature of this door. Brother Mengyao's eyes turned around and landed at the door and shook his head: "It's not automatic, aren't there two ghosts standing there." She pointed to the back of the door.
Taoyuan and Yao Daoren looked over when they heard it, but it was still empty: "How can there be a ghost who opens the door, since the door was automatically opened by itself when I came here in the past." ”
"It's really not automatic, there's a little ghost on each side of the doorway, wearing black clothes and standing by the crack of the door."
Yao Daoren frowned: "I know, I know." Taoyuan couldn't help but look at it twice: "Another layer of yin and yang eyes?" ”
When I walked to the inner courtyard, little ghosts began to come out, and I saw that several people had retreated to both sides and made a gesture of please. Yao Daoren also walked forward politely, and then stopped in front of the small door. Those little ghosts hurriedly came up to open the door for Yao Daoren. As soon as the door opened, there was a cool air and bursts of yin air. Brother Mengyao shuddered, only to find that the room was pitch black, and black curtains were flying everywhere. Taoyuan followed in and stopped in front of Yao Daoren: "Mr. Zhu, are you there?" ”
I couldn't hear the answer, but I heard the sound of the door closing, and Brother Mengyao was startled. Yao Daoren walked forward with Brother Mengyao and finally stopped in front of the study: "Mr. Zhu, do you remember me?" Brother Mengyao looked at Yao Daoren's voice.
What caught my eye was an old bamboo chair, and there was no one on it. But when Yao Daoren's words fell, the bamboo chair suddenly shook, and the surrounding curtains moved with the bamboo chair. Brother Meng Yao looked at the swaying bamboo chair in surprise, but an old man wearing Tang clothes suddenly appeared on it.
"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and the older you get, the more promising you become, boy." The old man turned from the bamboo chair. Brother Mengyao blinked his eyes and looked over, his eyebrows were kind, and his eyebrows were a little similar to himself, and this old man smiled a bit like her grandfather who had not met since she died, but the smile on the portrait was really similar to the old man in front of him.
Yao Daoren saw that Mr. Chai couldn't help but look at Brother Meng Yao in his arms, and nodded when he felt the gaffe: "Mr. Chai Chai, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you are still in the same spirits." The old gentleman shook his hand and stood up: "It's not as good as you young people, sit down quickly, and put down the girl in your arms." ”
Taoyuan found a place at random and sat down, and when he saw him, he smiled: "Tao Xiao'er, it has grown in the past ten years, and I am happy to see you and me, an old man, has your master Yunyou not come back yet?" ”
"Lao Zhu's old thoughts, my master is used to wandering in the clouds, he hasn't returned, and there is no news, I think there should be nothing wrong, if I come back one day, I will chase the old, can you not know."
"Hahaha, that's right."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Brother Mengyao, who was still staring at him suspiciously, and asked kindly, "Girl, what are you looking at?" ”
