Chapter 11: The Marriage Hijab
[The book continues from the above, the last book said that Mu Qingming couldn't find out who the murderer was, and he could only expect that the murderer was a woman possessed by monsters, so he asked Liu Yang and Zhao Liang to investigate the grievances in front of the drunkard, and he secretly went to Happy Horse Mountain, to find the ghost city lord for advice. Led out and ran out of the ghost market to ask about the hidden situation, and the owner of the ghost city knew everything. Show your knowledge and experience, and tell Mu Qing the origin of the monster. After thinking about it, Zhang Qianqian also wanted to take this monster and use it to make a tonic for the Emperor Mother of Hali. 】
The white lantern hung high in the forest, and the dim green flames in the lantern shimmered a little dim light in the ghost market, and a burst of weirdness.
At this time, it was still early, and the ghost market was not lively. Mu Qingming and Mo Han followed the ghost city lord and walked towards the depths of the ghost market. Along the way, in addition to the thug guards raised by the ghost market, all I saw were the ghost market stall owners who were setting up stalls, and the yin wind that whispered and whistled between the branches and trunks.
The old monk of the city lord took them to a small building in the depths. If someone hadn't guided him here today, Mu Qingming wouldn't have known that there was a two-story exquisite building in this ghost market.
When they entered the house, they saw the opulence in the lobby on the first floor, which could be said to be extremely luxurious.
The warped head case placed in the middle of the wall is the mahogany warped head case in the Ming Dynasty, the wood texture of the whole bookcase is natural and beautiful, showing the image of the feathered beast face and other knee-long, which makes people have endless reverie.
Hanging large calligraphy and paintings on the wall, it is actually a picture of the long-lost "Statue of Mori Zhitian Bodhisattva" written by Zhan Ziqian. The three pairs of dignified and beautiful porcelain vases placed on the table are all Tianqiu vases of Ming Yongle blue and white porcelain, and the lines of the utensils are very soft and smooth. And pay attention to tire repair, the shape of the instrument is very regular. Due to the attention to refining, the fetal quality of these six porcelain bottles is delicate and contains few impurities, the tire color is white, the carcass thickness is moderate, dexterous and dignified.
Even the insert screen placed in the middle with its homonym "calm" is also made of silk, which has been one of the royal fabrics since the Song and Yuan dynasties.
The city lord retreated left and right, led Mu Qingming and Mo Han to sit down at the half-square table of the Eight Immortals under the case, and asked Mu Qingming to wait for a while, and then went up to the second floor by himself.
After a while, the lord of the city, who had turned around, brought with him five bundles of red paper, each of which was fifty. In addition to this, there is also a palm-sized round tooth carving box.
"If you don't mention it, I'll forget it." Mu Qingming glanced at the ocean that was pushed in front of him and smiled.
This is the last time in the Lin Mansion, the city lord should pay Mu Qingming after the two cooperated. The transcendence of those hundreds of Yin Spirits not only increased his merits, but also increased his skills; The honorarium is exactly what this deal is for.
"Young Master Mu is a noble person who forgets things, but the old monk doesn't dare to forget; Although I was a monk in the past, what I am doing now is the work of buying and selling, since it is a business, I have to be honest, I can pay as much as I want, and I can't give you less. Speaking of this, the city lord looked a little embarrassed, and then pushed the makeup box in front of Mo Han, and sneered: "It's just that my ghost market is not big, and I don't have enough liquid cash, so I had to exchange some of it for items, and ask Mrs. to accept it with a smile." ”。
Yubi opened the lid of the box, but saw that on the bright yellow flannel cloth spread inside, two jade jade bracelets were gradually lying there. The color is pure and translucent, the emerald color is bright and vulgar, and it is extraordinary at first glance.
Seeing this, Mo Han, who followed Mu Qingming's learning and cheap and didn't take advantage of the bastard, was overjoyed by the luster lie of the jade bracelet, but he also muttered, and he didn't dare to reach out to play with the jade bracelet; Even if she is not a connoisseur, but after being with Mu Qingming, a great antique expert, for a long time, she can see that this pair of jade bracelets that are circular, round inside and outside, and have no lines are the craftsmanship of the Song Dynasty. Putting this layer aside, judging from the background color of the water head of this jade bracelet, it is estimated that according to the price at that time, there are no sixty or seventy oceans that cannot be bought.
When she was hesitating, Mu Qingming had already picked up the jade bracelet and took up her soft palm with green jade fingers, and without hesitation, she picked up a jade bracelet and put it on Mo Han's hand, and said as it should be: "With it, this is the money, or the money we deserve." ”。
"Yes, ma'am." The old monk also smiled, his eyes narrowed: "You just bring it with you." ”。
After speaking, the city lord clapped his hands, and immediately several maids walked in slowly with tea, fruits, and pastries, and after placing them on the table, they withdrew.
"Actually, I'm not here to ask for money today, but to ask you for news." After Mu Qingming pushed the bundles of oceans to the ghost city lord who had just sat down, he said slowly: "The money will be left here first, and when you tell me the news, you will return more and make up for less." ”。
"Although Young Master Mu speaks, the old monk must know everything." The city lord lifted his teacup, motioned for Mu Qingming and Mo Han to use tea, nodded and scraped the tea in his cup with the quilt cover.
"Presumably, the city lord has been in this Kunming Spring City for a long time, can you know what ancient monsters are in this city, mainly related to marriage." Mu Qingming didn't talk nonsense, and bluntly expressed the confusion in his heart.
The reason why he emphasized that it was a monster related to marriage was that he always felt that Gong Xiaoyun had a problem. The first is the sleepwalking, a strange disease called a delusion in the classics written by the ancestors of the dragon lockers. Although Mu Qingming only knew a little about the art of Qi Huang, he was not as proficient as Miao Yu, but he clearly remembered that it was mentioned in the book that such diseases were mostly caused by Huangkou children under the age of ten, and gradually stopped with age, and the incidence was more male than female.
Gong Xiaoyun is already a twenty-nine-year-old yellow flower girl, and there are too few cases of this kind of illness happening again. The second is that after Gong Xiaoyun went home, he lost the evil aura that made him very angry all the time.
The ghost city lord groaned when he heard this, and after a long time, his eyes lit up, as if he had remembered something, he turned his head to look at Mu Qingming with an amiable smile, and said with Guan Zi: "There is really a monster like this, but the price of this news is not low." ”。
Seeing that things had already come to an eyebrow, Mu Qingming was no longer anxious, so he also smiled and asked, "How much." ”。
"If there are a hundred oceans less, I won't sell them." Glancing at the ghost city lord in front of him, he returned with a smile.
"Deal." Mu Qing didn't want to take a sip of meditation, and then raised the teacup and tasted the tea, then smacked his lips and praised: "Good tea." ”。
"Wait, aren't you going to bargain?" At this moment, Mo Han's little mistake of haggling was committed again; She glanced at Mu Qingming, and said to the city owner: "If there is any transaction we have to do with you in the future, can't you be cheaper with this news?" What about eighty? ”。
Throughout the ages, bargaining has been a keen thing for women, whether they are humans or demons, even if they buy a pound of white rice, they have to bargain. Whether you can kill or not can afford to pay the price, but the fun in this is what they have always enjoyed.
"Hahaha, good, good, according to Madame's words, eighty oceans." The lord of the ghost city, Yile, smiled and agreed. After all, he will have to cooperate with Mu Qingming in the future, so he will try to earn as little as possible where he can make less money, which can be regarded as making Mu Qingming owe him a love debt.
Mo Han was proud for a while, poked Mu Qingming with his elbow, and grinned: "Look, I saved you twenty oceans at once!" ”。 Mu Qingming raised the corners of his mouth, and his left hand under the table quietly gave a thumbs up to Mo Han.
"The donor didn't mention this matter today, and the old monk almost forgot about it. That was during the Yongzheng period of the previous dynasty. The old monk put away his smile and told Mu Qingming what he knew: "At that time, the old monk and I were not human beings or ghosts, wandering in this spring city, and surpassing some lonely souls and wild ghosts. However, at that time, a terrifying thing happened, that is, the little daughter of the local Caimen family, who died violently before she got married. ”。
The old monk's voice was faint, with a little bit of the vicissitudes of the past, and he told Mu Qingming about a long, long time ago.
"This young lady died before she got married, and according to the black-faced and white-eyed witches in the city at that time (with cataracts, the ancients were ignorant and therefore thought that this person had a miracle), this young lady was unwilling to go, and she had to hold a vigorous yin marriage." The ghost market lord who raised his teacup and took a sip of tea took the opportunity to pause, and then said lightly in a calm tone: "At that time, Caimen was also very powerful in the Spring City, and the head of Caimen here used two taels of silver to drag the ghost matchmaker to buy a young man who had no father and no mother, and asked this person to run a ghost with his young lady. ”。
Speaking of this, the lord of the ghost city was stunned again, and only after a while did he say: "So, this ghost has produced a monster - the underworld marriage hijab." ”......
Just when Mu Qingming was chatting with the ghost city lord, Zhang Qianqian, who was far away in Rongbao Zhai in the city, fell into deep thought.
Sitting in front of the dresser, he stared at his youthful face in the mirror, his eyes gradually glazed. She thought about it for a day, but she couldn't figure out what the sacredness of that mysterious monster was.
According to the narrative of the believers, this thing had a sinister aura on its body before it ate people. And after the excitement of cannibalism, that evil aura disappeared.
Zhang Qianqian also believes that this monster must be weak and powerless before cannibalism, but after cannibalism, it can perfectly possess the host, making the host's popularity overshadow his demonic energy.
However, Zhang Qianqian also thinks that this monster is not simple. Judging from her experience, this monster is full of yin and evil, and it is absolutely extraordinary. Although such a monster is not as powerful as the healing Heli Emperor Mother, it is also much more powerful than ordinary little demons.
Especially the yin and evil qi on the other party's body, for the Emperor Mother of Heli, who was seriously injured at this time and was already dying, it was a great tonic elixir.
Zhang Qianqian was thinking about how to get that monster to be eaten by the Emperor Mother, and then make the Mother of the Pear Emperor heal faster.
However, now that Mu Qingming has taken a step ahead of the Immortal Dao, he has inserted it, and it is not easy to bypass Mu Qingming like a way.
Zhang Qianqian didn't want to lose the opportunity to get this monster, and she didn't want to come out at this juncture to let Mu Qingming catch the traces of the Immortal Dao again.
Zhang Qianqian was entangled.
The cool night breeze outside the house blew and made the windows in her house creak, interrupting Zhang Qianqian's thoughts.
After Zhang Qianqian recovered from her stunned state, she slowly got up, walked to the window and stared at the colorful glass for a moment, and then made up her mind to shout outside the door: "Sixth." ”。
What is the past of the underworld marriage hijab? What is Zhang Qianqian's decision? To find out what's next, listen to the next breakdown.
[The ghost matchmaker of the Dragon Lock Man Small Theater - The matchmaker who acts as a matchmaker for the unmarried man and woman who has died is called a ghost matchmaker. The ghost matchmaker not only has to match the two families of the deceased, but also holds a wedding for the deceased through a series of ceremonies such as divination, rituals, and flags, so that his duties can be completed. Then, the ghost matchmaker can get the matchmaker gift from the two families. It is said that every year, the ghost matchmaker must know and grasp the situation of the deceased men and women in the local village, so that he can go to the matchmaker at any time. There are even ghost matchmakers who make a living from this industry. 】
