Chapter 190: Ghost Lady
Don't look at the desolation around Hongmu Mountain, there is wind, sand and desert everywhere. But if you look at it with the very eye, you can see groups of exorcists and ghost merchants not far away.
They are all exorcists and ghost merchants who came to the ghost market of Hongmu Mountain to pan for gold.
Shamushak glanced around and whispered, "Remind everyone, people's hearts are unpredictable!" Sometimes, the living are more terrible than the dead. When you go to the ghost market, in addition to being careful of ghosts turning their faces, you must also be careful of these peers! β
"Don't talk to strangers! Unless you want to find death! β
The female man who said this was a little frightened and said, "It's not so serious, is it? Everybody is alive......"
Shamushak said coldly: "When you die, you will be dead." Big sister, don't be so naΓ―ve, think about your husband who has been tricked! β
At the mention of the woman's husband, her face immediately became resolute. She gritted her teeth and said: "Who dares to calculate the old lady, the old lady will kill him with a knife!" β
Shamushak ignored the female man, but stared at the red hill with his own care, and said, "When the sun sets, the yin energy grows and the yang energy dissipates, the ghost market will appear." It's still early, so let's rest and eat something first. β
There is a two-hour time difference between the Kashgar region and the mainland, and if it gets dark, it will be at least after 10 o'clock in the evening. I looked at my watch, estimated the time, and then found a rock to lean onto, pulled out a box of canned beef, and began to feast.
After eating and drinking, the sun also went down. Although it was not completely dark yet, standing in our current position, we could see speckled ghost fires flickering in the strange stone forest in front of Hongmu Mountain.
Most of the ghostly fires were blue and green, with some dark reds and purples mixed in. The ghost fire wandered in the strange stone forest, and some dark shadows could be seen faintly shuttling.
Shamushak whispered, "It's a patrolling ghost soldier!" It's Grandma Yamanaka who is in charge! After the first round of the ghost patrol, the ghost fire will be fixed, and everyone can go in at that time. β
A flush flashed across the pale man's face, and he hurriedly said, "Is there anything else that needs attention?" β
Shamushak hesitated for a moment and said, "Just a little! Pretend to be a grandson! Be sure to pretend to be a grandson! β
I rolled my eyes at him, and asked me to keep a low profile, but if I pretend to be a grandson, I ruined the reputation of the Yin and Yang store for no reason. I don't do such shameful things unless I have to.
The wandering ghostly fires patrolled back and forth twice, and then hung on the strange rocks everywhere. By this time, it was completely dark, but the ground was like a starry scene, and there were many shadows in it, and it looked magnificent.
Shamushak said: "Don't worry, wait for the big guys to go first!" β
On the surrounding hillside, some exorcists who have taken advantage of their own means have already stepped down, and only those characters of cats and dogs are still on the hillside and dare not take the lead.
You know, the sooner you go in, the more you'll find good things, and you'll be the first to get them.
This is also a way for cats and dogs to protect themselves. After all, no one wants to offend those powerful people just because they are the first.
I secretly laughed at myself, well, I'm a cat and a dog.
But it was said that after the first batch of exorcists entered the ghost market, the remaining cats and dogs hurried down the mountain. There were a lot of them, and I glanced around, and there were hundreds of flashlight beams alone, and even more of those who didn't turn on the flashlights.
I'm a little surprised by the number of exorcists and ghost merchants. You must know that exorcists from the mainland rarely come to the northwest. After all, the more people there are, the more ghosts with resentment.
The northwest region is vast and sparsely populated, and even ghosts are rare. Who wants to eat sand in this place?
But now it seems that the ghost market of Hongmu Mountain is really unexpected.
It took us half an hour to descend the mountain before we entered the Stone Forest. The Stone Forest is actually the dividing line of the ghost market. As long as there is a place where the red rocks stand, it is the trading range of the ghost market!
It's not the first time I've entered the ghost market, but the ghost market I entered before was all temporary, and at most, the yin qi dissipated after ten days, and it naturally disappeared.
The ghost market of Hongmu Mountain has existed for thousands of years, and has already formed a fixed trading market. Here, both humans and ghosts can come in to do business, and a considerable number of people even stay here all year round.
Over time, the scale of the ghost city of Hongmu Mountain is getting bigger and bigger, as far as the current can see, there are hundreds of living people alone, and the ghosts shuttling through it are even more numerous, and they can't be seen at a glance.
I was secretly speechless, but I also had a terrible headache. With so many trading stalls, where do I go to find that gourd?
When he was worried, Shamushak's body was already like a loach, and he directly blended into the market. As he left, he hurriedly said, "Remember the direction we're coming from, and meet here before dawn!" No matter what the transaction is, it is safest to leave first! β
The female man, as well as the miserable white man, turned around and left without hesitation. Time was of the essence, and they had to trade what they wanted.
They were gone, and I wandered around the ghost market with interest. This is also my Zheng Kexiu's advice to me, the ghost market is intricate and strange.
What I want to take is extremely important, no matter whether I succeed or not, I must choose a good way to retreat. As long as you keep the surrounding terrain in mind, it will be easier to run away.
The more I wandered, the more shocked I was at the bustle of the ghost market. The scale of this ghost market is far greater than any ghost market I've ever seen.
Even the ghost market recorded in the Yin and Yang chapter of the anti-evil notes is not as big as the one in front of you.
No wonder Shamushak said that this is a paradise for exorcists to get rich, so many evil ghosts and exorcists trade things, it's strange if you don't get rich!
As I walked, I also had a general idea of the scope of the ghost market. I was about to ask about the situation with a guy who didn't look too vicious, but I heard a scream from in front of me.
It was clearly a scream from a living person.
The surrounding ghosts and zombies just glanced up, and then went about their own business. But I couldn't suppress the curiosity in my heart and leaned over quietly.
Circumventing the two rocks, I saw a woman in a straitjacket holding a long whip and whipping a man who was five big and three thick. Every time the man pumped, he screamed in pain.
My eyelids jumped when I saw it now, although that woman looked in good shape and her facial features were pretty good, but she was beating a living person in front of the public like this, okay?
The most important thing is that she pumped around, and there were a lot of people and ghosts around to watch the excitement, but none of them spoke!
Anyway, it's not me who smokes, why do you care so much?
Actually, I can't see this kind of thing, and as soon as my brain is hot, I throw Shamushak's words out of the clouds. I was about to stop with a loud shout, but a person came out of my side and grabbed me.
"Big brother! Don't mess around! Don't get into trouble! β
I said angrily: "Everyone is a living person, what kind of system is openly fighting in this place! β
Shamushak almost didn't cry, and said, "Big brother, they are all a group of evil guys, and that woman is called a ghost lady, and it is said that she married herself to a fierce ghost. The guy who was beaten wasn't a good bird, you see his teeth were black, how much human flesh he had eaten! Is this kind of scum worth it? β
It's okay if he doesn't say it, but as soon as I was reminded, I really looked at the man who was beaten. Sure enough, I found that this guy's teeth have become extremely black, and at this level of darkness, there are not a few people who eat it!
My face softened a little, it's okay, it's just this kind of guy, he deserves to be pumped alive! lest you do any more harm to others.
Shamushak was relieved to see that I was calmly pulling. He didn't even look at the ghost lady, and dragged me to turn around and leave.
As soon as Cheng Xiang turned around, he heard the ghost lady shouting: "Stop!" β
Just stood still, almost scared Shamushak out of his eyes. I noticed that he was standing on his legs, his face was pale, and he didn't even dare to look back.
He said in a panic, "God, it's over!" It's over! Big brother, I'm really going to be killed by you this time! That's a ghost girl! What a ghost lady who kills people without blinking! β
