Chapter 6 The human market and the ghost market

The human market, that is, the bazaar of the world.

"Zhou Yi" has a record of "the market in the middle of the day, to the people of the world, gather the goods of the world, trade and retreat, and each has its own place", which is commonly known as "catching up with the market".

In ancient times, the mountains were high and the roads were far away, the traffic was not developed, and the information was also very closed. Therefore, people who rush to the market sometimes not only to buy goods, but also to exchange information and contact feelings, such as asking each other how business is going, how the harvest is in the field this year, whose sow has given birth, and chatting about some short gossip from parents.

This one said, what is the story of this human market, don't say it, there is really it.

It is said that in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had a confidant under him, not a bystander, it was Liu Bang's own fellow villager friend Fan Xu, before the rebellion, Liu Bang was a pavilion chief and a small official in Pei County, and Fan Hao was engaged in slaughtering dogs and selling meat.

Nowadays, there are very few people who eat dog meat, but in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, eating dog meat was only a privilege that only nobles could enjoy.

Mencius once said: "Chickens, guineas and dogs are animals, and when they are not lost, the seventy can eat meat." ”

It can be seen that dog meat was equivalent to chicken and pork in ancient times, and it was an indispensable meat in the traditional diet.

Fan Xu often sells meat in the market, and the cooked dog meat is a must, the meat is tender and delicious, fat but not greasy, and the lips and teeth are fragrant for three days after eating.

Often in front of the stall to support a large pot, the bottom of the pot firewood simmering slowly, a pot full of aroma, ten miles of fragrance, you can smell the fragrance from afar.

The pavilion chief was originally idle, every time the dog meat just came out of the dog, Liu Bang followed the fragrance and found it, and he was not welcome to come, he sat down and bowed his head to eat, and finally cooked the dog meat in his mouth, like the Yangtze River, like the wind and clouds, and then he went down to his stomach after a while.

It doesn't matter if you just eat, the key is that you don't give money after eating, saying that you will give it on credit in a few days, but I have never seen it given once.

Fan Hao was embarrassed to say more because of his face, but it was originally a small business, and he couldn't stand Liu Bang's way of eating every day.

On this day, Fan Xu heard that there was a market on the other side of the Si River, and thought that he could not afford to provoke me, so he quietly moved the dog meat stall to the other side of the river to do business.

On this day, the dog meat was cooked again, and Liu Bang smelled the fragrance from afar, but after turning left and right three times in the market, he couldn't find the location of Fan Xu, and the place where he originally set up his stall had already been empty.

After inquiring, I learned that Fan Xu's dog meat stall had moved to the other side of the river, and Liu Bang had the heart to cross the river, but he had no money with him, and the boatman at the ferry said that he would not let Liu Bang get on the boat.

At this time, I saw that Liu Bang was the true son of the dragon, and there were hundreds of beasts to help him in the dark, and he was worried by the river, and an old turtle floated up in the river.

Liu Bangqi said: "Old turtle, can you carry me across the river?" ”

The old turtle nodded like a scholar, and then leaned on the bank, Liu Bang pulled his legs and jumped on the turtle's back, and crossed the river safely.

When he arrived on the other side of the river, Liu Bang followed the fragrance and found Fan Xu's dog meat stall, which inevitably caused another stormy meal, and wiped his mouth after eating - on credit!

Fan Hao has this hatred in his heart, he can't say that he has suffering, and he said that he can't let people live, then again, how did he cross the river without money, could it be that he waded over to eat dog meat? How hungry did he go?

After inquiring, I found out that it was the old turtle in the river who secretly helped Liu Bang.

The manly man, simply did two things endlessly, Fan Xu came to the Si River with a knife, and shouted to the river:

"Lao Yuan, I'm Liu Bang, I want to cross the river, come out quickly!"

The old turtle was really obedient, and hurriedly poked his head out of the shore, looked left and right, and before he could find Liu Bang's figure, he was grabbed by Fan Xu, and he raised the knife in his hand and made a ghost under the knife.

Fan Hao dragged the old turtle home, and in order to relieve the hatred in his heart, he unloaded the old turtle into eight pieces and put it in the dog meat pot to cook together.

But I never expected that the dog meat cooked in the pot with turtle meat tasted more delicious and beautiful, and the guests who came to the market to eat dog meat were endless, and Fan Hao dog meat was also named.

Later, the pot of old turtle dog broth has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is said that it is still used by Fan Xu's descendants.

"In the middle of the night, the rooster crows and disperses", compared with the heavenly market and the human market, the ghost market is the most mysterious place among the three cities.

If it is said that the gods who buy and sell in the heavenly market, and the ordinary people who buy and sell in the human market, then it is impossible to tell what the things are coming and going, buying and selling in this ghost market.

Do you want to say that there are really ghosts in this world?

It's still that sentence, you can't prove that there is no way to prove that there is not, or you can't listen to it in vain, many things have developed scientifically and can't explain today, but you can't deny that it doesn't exist, the world is full of wonders, and if you believe it, you don't believe it, in a word, in a word, life is a life, grass and trees are autumn, but do good things, don't ask about the future.

According to the records of the Manaja classics, ghost markets often occur in mass graves, cemeteries or places far away from people, and the things sold are also strange and varied, mostly some strange things that are not in the world or are submerged in the long river of history, and the traces are difficult to find.

Therefore, the ghost market not only attracts lonely souls and wild ghosts within a radius of hundreds of miles to gather here, but also mountain spirits and monsters, monks and old monks, ghosts in the underworld, etc., etc., and more daring mortals cover their mouths and noses to cover their anger, and they want to exchange for a good thing to hit a big luck, and enjoy endless glory and wealth from now on.

There is a saying that people die for money, and birds die for food, and there are very few people who really make a fortune because of this, and most of them give their lives in vain.

What exactly is sold in this ghost market?

That's a lot, from big to groundbreaking, to trivial, only you can't think of it, and it won't be sold without it.

For example, I don't know what age of gold, stone and jade, scriptures and classics that have been lost for many years, needle stone herbs, shipwreck treasures, pearls of the sea, incense, candles, paper horses, etc.

But if there is one of the most sought-after things of all, it is the remnants of the newly deceased.

Why is that?

Because unless there are some Taoist ghosts, most of them have no form and substance, and their nature is extremely yin, but the world is yang. Therefore, if you want to return to the world and walk in the sun in a bright and bright way, you must attach yourself to the corpse that has just died, so that you can borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul.

Although it is said that people die like lights go out, and the grievances and grievances in the world should be written off, there are also masters who are reluctant to die or have something in their hearts that they can't let go, so they take the paper money burned at home to the ghost market, trying to hit their luck to find a legacy and return to the world.

Then why do living people hide their anger when they go to the ghost market?

Endorsement in the book, although the ghost market is novel, but it is definitely a dangerous place, not a place where ordinary people should go, if a living person appears in that kind of place, it is equivalent to a walking commodity, not to mention the body full of yang longevity, but also with a substitute for the dead body, the three souls and seven spirits can also be used for cultivation, just like thousands of family wealth thrown on the road, naturally thousands of people rob thousands of people, where is there still life.

Therefore, if a living person comes to the ghost market, he must not reveal his anger, otherwise he will fall into a situation from which he will never recover, and it will be difficult for Da Luo Jinxian to rescue him.

So did Zhang Yingshan explore the ghost market of Jiming Island at night and sell the goats that he turned into lewd Dazi?

Did you find the dragon's beard grass and save your mother? What big secret did he discover in the ghost market, and whether he could escape from the ghost market on Jiming Island after nine deaths and a lifetime, let's break it down next time.
