Chapter 43: The House of Puppets (4)
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, there were gradually more people at the foot of the mountain, and the direction of the flow of people gradually became clearer.
Following the direction of the flow of people, Yongzheng and his party walked slowly, only to see that most of them were in groups of four or five, with their heads down, and everyone basically didn't speak, which made a few people feel very gloomy.
The light in the mountains is no better than outside, and the towering peaks are like fingers, and the golden sunlight shines through these fingers, like a holy light that guides people forward.
"Look, no one here speaks, doesn't it look like a ghost?" Zou Yin couldn't help but whisper to his teammates.
"I'm afraid that we don't understand the rules and go the wrong way," Ms. Yu said.
"Then what else do you say, it's the first time we've come, so we can only follow them," Zou Yin wasn't worried about this, "Zhong Li, isn't your weapon too conspicuous?"
Zhong Li shook his head helplessly, "What can I do, and I can't hide in my clothes like you." ”
"Look at Qin Yundu's spear, it can still be folded, and you can also make a fold when you catch up. ”
"How is that possible," Zhong Li replied with a smile, and when he looked up, a bunch of people had already gathered in front of him.
Sure enough, when they came to the main peak, the people in front of them were examined one by one as if they were undergoing security checks.
There were a few people in black robes who guarded the door, but the material of this robe was definitely better than the cloth robe everyone wore, it should be made of leather, black and shiny, and there was an unknown mark tattooed on the door of the head, a red circle, surrounded by dark green irregular thin lines. Each had a gun pinned to one side and a knife to the other. There is no expression on his face, even when he is examining others.
"What the hell are they checking?" Qin Yunwan asked, "Will we be found out about anything?"
"I'm prepared," Yongzheng replied, "Let's line up first, let's take one step at a time." ”
The queue lasted for more than ten minutes, and several people came to these "disciples", only to see those people looking at them carefully, and several people did not know how to respond.
Yongzheng hurriedly walked over, took out a document from his clothes, and the lid of a jade pot, and the people looked at it and let them go.
"It's so easy," Zou Yin couldn't help but ask, "I thought I had to make things difficult for us." ”
"What's the problem, we're guests after all. Yongzheng said.
"Brother Yongzheng, what did you show them?" Qin Yunwan asked.
"Oh, the person on this document is our informant, he has participated in the black market before, and that jade pot is also on the black market, so it proves that we are his people. ”
"You're pretty well prepared," Yu Fei said.
Yongzheng smiled, "Of course, this is not a playhouse, every step has to be considered." ”
When they came to the elevator, there were about 20 people, and the organizers let this group of people into the elevator. The inside of the elevator is very bright, and the outside is transparent glass, so it seems that this elevator was indeed used for sightseeing before, and it is a pity that it is not used for abandonment. Through this glass, several people saw that the scene outside was really magnificent, the mountain peaks were shaking, the jungle was dense, and it was very wild. Qin Yunwan glanced at the people who were riding the elevator together, but everyone was still dull and didn't say anything.
When the elevator reached the top, everyone went out from the other side of the elevator, walked through a long staircase, and suddenly opened up at the top, and then realized that the top of the mountain was a big village, and there must have been a group of people living in it.
The flow of people began to disperse, and there were people everywhere, and these few people really didn't know where to go.
"Hey, I said, we don't need to be so serious, it's not like no one talks here, it's okay for us to ask others," Yongzheng discussed and asked Qin Yundui, if Yongzheng didn't know where to go, then he really didn't know where to go.
"But," Qin Yundui pondered for a moment, "where are we going?"
"Of course, it's a place related to spiritual power!"
The scope is too big for spiritual powers, and if you really ask about it, will it make others think that they are ignorant, or is it very strange?
At this time, Zhong Li came to a man in his forties, who saw Zhong Li walking straight towards him and knew that he was going to talk to him.
"Hello, may I ask, I want to cross the spirit, which direction should I go?" Zhong Li asked the person in a low voice, "It's the first time I've come, and I don't know very much." ”
The man looked at Zhong Li carefully, "I don't know very well, I'm not a Holy Spirit person, I don't care about this, the things related to spiritual power in the past were auctioned in the main building over there, and now there are too many spiritual power sellers, and they are not worth much, and it is estimated that it should be in the surrounding attic." ”
Following the direction of the man's finger, several people saw that there was indeed a big green house over there, and compared to the other houses, that room was the most magnificent. Everyone also roughly understands that the things to be bought or sold are still graded, and the most valuable and rare things should be in the main building over there.
The destination is very clear, since you are here, you have to go to the main building, and a few people immediately walked over, but the door of the main building is sealed. Everyone looked at this building, it was about three stories high, and it was nothing special from the outside, it was an ordinary village. A few guards guarded the gates, dressed in the same gear as the previous ones.
"I see that the other rooms are open, and it is estimated that it is not yet time for the auction, should we go to the other rooms first?" asked Zou Yin.
Qin Yunwan also felt that it was better to go around first, and a few people turned around and went to other places to have a look first.
The other rooms were basically only one floor, and a few people entered a room, and everyone followed in. I saw that there were several tables inside, and on the top of the tables were treasures. There were people standing next to him, it should be the seller, and several people walked up to a string of Buddha beads, and the seller began to talk endlessly, what ancient Yellow Emperor's Buddha beads, absorbing the spirit of heaven and earth, and the saint enlightened, and said a lot of terms, and a few people didn't understand anything, so they walked out in a gloomy way.
"What, it's just some antique sellers," Zou Yin seemed a little disappointed, "Do you think this thing will be fake, listen to him blow it to the sky." ”
"To be able to sell on the black market, you have to go through the identification of this organization, it shouldn't be fake, if there are fakes, what will happen to this black market. Yongzheng said from the side.
Saying that, a few people entered the second room, there were only two long tables in this room, there were two rows of people standing, there was a label in front of each person, and there were pictures next to it, a few people walked up to take a look, "lungs, eyes, kidneys..."
"It's all like that, and I guess it's the same when we go over there," Yongzheng said, "Let's wait for the main building to open." ”
Idle, a few people followed a few more rooms, nothing more than some treasures, there was really no need to go down, so they sat on the ground, waiting for the main building to open.
But who knew that I would wait until late at night.
"It's so late, don't you open the door? Is it going to be twelve o'clock?" Zou Yin asked.
"It's almost eleven o'clock now, I guess it's possible," Yongzheng replied, "What's the hurry, aren't you waiting when you look at the people next to you?"
A large number of people had already gathered in front of the main building, everyone seemed to be waiting for the main building to open, Yu Fei was really bored, turned on the communication device to see how her teammates were doing, but who knew that there was no signal at all, in fact, she had long expected this.
And the teammates on the other side have already fallen asleep.
In the evening, Wang Yuehan took Feng Xuan and Yin Ning to visit the night market, and ate a stomach of snacks, now everyone is full of food and drink and lies on the bed to sleep, so that sleep takes away the fatigue of the day.
But I don't know when, Yin Ning woke up and suddenly wanted to go to the toilet. This big house was dark, for fear of waking up others, Yin Ning was embarrassed to turn on the light, so he walked out of the house in the dark.
The moonlight shone in through the window, fortunately, there was some light, but this did not alleviate the fear in her heart, because between the corridors, there were dolls everywhere, I don't know why, this kind of thing makes people feel scared when they look at it, like dummies, staring at themselves with their eyes, even the cute dolls and dolls, as if they have spirituality, leaking strange expressions, and those big dolls are like dried corpses, standing against the wall, hoping to fall on themselves at any time.
Yin Ning tried her best to avoid those dolls, but her eyes met with those dolls, which made her very uncomfortable. "Hurry up, the toilet is in front. ”
Suddenly, Yin Ning heard a voice, which seemed to be a bark.
"Yes, it's a dog," Yin Ning then remembered that there was a dog at home, and he was a stranger, so the dog would definitely bark.
Unexpectedly, the dog really barked, and the barking became louder and louder. "It's not good now, because everyone will be woken up," Yin Ning casually turned on the light on the wall, and in an instant, the small light on the wall lit up, emitting a dim light, obviously not bright enough, but after all, it was a night light, so it was good to be able to see it.
The dog's voice came from the toilet, it was really unlucky! Yin Ning thought to himself, so he sped up and walked to the toilet, the door of the toilet was open, and sure enough, the little dog was inside, barking non-stop, Yin Ning wanted to come forward to coax him, but before he entered the door, Yin Ning suddenly stopped.
Because she realized a problem, the dog was indeed barking, but it was not barking at herself.
Through the dim light, Yin Ning saw the outline of the puppy in the toilet, and she confirmed again that the dog was not barking at herself at all!
It's facing a corner of this toilet, and that corner happens to be his blind spot! They all say that cats and dogs are psychic, does it see something? Yin Ning's heart rose to his throat, and his hands began to tremble a little, the dog barked more and more, and her huge curiosity guided Yin Ning to hurry in and have a look, but she didn't dare.
No, I turned around and called Feng Xuan, let her accompany me in, Yin Ning quickly turned around, but before he took a few steps, the dog bit his pajama pants and kept pulling himself back, as if he was calling himself back.
The dog saw that he was being pulled back, and went back to the toilet and barked at the corner.
What is there to be afraid of, Yin Ning turned on the light on the wall of the toilet at the door, the lights were all on, what is there to be afraid of! After speaking, he walked in with an arrow step.
"Ah!!!!!h
In that corner, there was a big doll! with a black wig, a cracked mouth that looked like a smile, two arms slightly stretched forward like zombies, and big eyes the size of walnuts, staring straight at him!
In an instant, all the people in the house got up and immediately gathered to the toilet on the third floor, Yin Ning sat on the ground, obviously still frightened, and when everyone gathered around, Yin Ning suddenly felt very embarrassed, and quickly apologized to everyone, and explained the reason for the matter.
"Alas, it's all my fault," Wang Yuehan said, "Originally, this dog slept on the first floor, but I played with him before going to bed, so I let him stay on the third floor." ”
Feng Xuan patted Yin Ning's back, "It's okay, isn't this a puppet!"
The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt also hurried up, and the fourth aunt immediately blamed the fourth uncle when she saw this, "I told you, these things are usually kept in the warehouse, and they have scared the guests more than once!"
Feng Xuan looked at the puppet and stepped forward, this puppet was like a weird weirdo, and seeing it coldly could really startle a person. Feng Xuan touched it with her hand, and suddenly her expression changed, she called Yin Ning over, Yin Ning also went over to look, the two exchanged glances, and then tinkered with the puppet like dismantling a machine.
"What are you doing," Wang Yuehan asked puzzled, he didn't understand that two such polite little girls would be so abnormal to toss other people's things.
After a while, the two of them opened a mechanism behind the puppet, and Feng Xuan put his finger in it and took out something the size of a bead.
"It's the Black Soul Stone," Feng Xuan said.
Everyone was silent, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt's expressions were very dull, and after a while, the fourth uncle spoke, "You come down with me." ”
Walking into the living room, the fourth aunt made a pot of tea for everyone, and asked Yue Rong to go back to sleep, Yue Qing didn't seem to wake up, except for the two daughters in the living room, they all gathered.
The fourth uncle settled down and began to tell the origin of this black soul stone.
It was all seven or eight years ago, the fourth uncle went to the black market to buy retina in order to treat Yue Rong's eyes, after all, he is also a small entrepreneur, and the underworld and white are also a little connected, so it is not difficult to contact and enter the black market, but when the fourth uncle bought what he wanted, he suddenly saw something that was being watched by everyone.
It was a bead-sized stone grain, and it could only be called a "grain," followed by the shouting crowd, he knew that this was a black soul stone, only to see that the seller said that this stone is good for health and harmless, and many people are also very excited, but they just don't dare to buy it, the fourth uncle saw that this stone is not expensive, so he bought four grains, thinking that the old couple and two daughters can use it, and he didn't buy it for Yue Han because Yue Han is a Holy Spirit person, as Hu Feng's sworn enemy, this is a blasphemy against him.
Speaking of the Black Soul Stone, you will think of Hu Feng people, although the fourth uncle has known Hu Feng people, but it was already too long ago, at that time, Hu Feng people were already a strange word, no wonder, the black soul stone at that time could not be called sky-high, after all, the recognition was less.
If this stone is really effective, then use, if it is ineffective or even harmful, then it should be a souvenir, it was originally such a plan, who knew that after a few years, the fourth uncle knew that he had picked up a big bargain. No one dared to buy this black soul stone at first, but later it was impossible to grab it at all, and the stone the size of his "small bead" was already a defective product, and the smallest black soul stone today was the size of a bottle cap, and it was very sought-after.
On the contrary, the fourth uncle had a sense of schadenfreude, so he was relieved to consider putting the stone into his family's body. But the eldest daughter is very principled and resolutely does not allow her body to put this thing, so the fourth uncle hid him in this puppet for this extra small grain.
After listening to the fourth uncle's story, several people also understood what happened.
The fourth aunt spoke: "Fellow Holy Spirit people, I know that we are not doing this right, if this Holy Spirit Stone is really an evil thing, it is also our own doing. ”
"Fourth aunt, don't worry," Feng Xuan said, "This stone is not so terrible, at least until now, it seems that there is no obvious harm to the living, and the dog only noticed the abnormal breath; ”
The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt were a little relieved, but they still felt guilty in their hearts, and they didn't know how to explain to the Holy Spirit Man in front of them, and they felt that they had smeared Yue Han, and the two of them apologized one after another, while Feng Xuan and Yin Ning had been comforting the two.
At this time, Yue Han looked at his watch, "It's already twelve o'clock, and I don't know what happened to them." ”
The clock in the living room and the clock in the main building of the black market struck twelve at the same time.
The door opened, and the inside was as bright as a palace, in sharp contrast to the original appearance of the outside world, and a woman in a robe stood in the middle, singing a desolate song to greet the guests.

The end of heaven and earth / permeates all things
Distant fireworks / Brighten my eyes
Infinite desires / Like a dagger
Scratch my fingers/stinging throat
=====
The sun and the cold wind / Chilling
Night and day / Beautiful as fiction
A pot of hot wine / Pour out my tenderness
It's a long road / Who stays with me
=====
Late at night loft / Reflect everything through
The long story / Just a crumpled piece of paper
Feet on the long road / Who walks long
In the end, it's just a set of fast shots
