Chapter 187: Red Eyes Mountain
I don't know who wrote the letter, the letter was yellow, the handwriting was messy, and it was clearly a period of time. I don't know what is written on the letterhead, anyway, after Zheng Kexiu read it, he sat on the stone bench in a daze for a long time.
That's right, he was in a daze.
I sat next to me in a regular manner and didn't dare to speak, but I secretly guessed Zheng Kexiu's character in my heart.
It stands to reason that he belongs to the category of golden corpses, not a living person. But he was formed after the death of the exorcist, and his mind should be above board. There are many examples like him. The ancestor of the Shandong Tie family, Tie Sanchuan, was the corpse that feathered and ascended to immortality after death and became a corpse immortal. Although he is not a living person, he is also chivalrous and righteous, driving away demons and evil spirits.
The most important thing is that although the Soul Breaker Cat devours powerful ghosts, it never does anything to the lonely ghosts who have no grievances. Judging from this point alone, Zheng Kexiu is not a demon.
But he said that he was stunned for a long time before he turned to me and said, "You want me to help?" ”
I nodded hurriedly and said, "Please also ask the seniors to reach out!" ”
Zheng Kexiu said: "What do you want me to help you?" ”
I took a deep breath and said, "I wonder if my predecessors have heard of four things?" ”
"The living have no evil thoughts, and the dead have no resentment. Yin and yang coexist, the sun and the moon have no light! ”
As soon as these four sentences came out, I noticed that Zheng Kexiu's eyes were full of gold, and even the mask on his face was faintly golden. This vision frightened me, but I forced myself to sit still.
I snapped it and said, "I'm going to accomplish these four things, but I don't have a clue." My boss said that I could get some inspiration when I came to Kashgar to find you, so I came to find Mr. ”
As I spoke, I took out the ghost tears from my bag, handed them over respectfully, and said, "This is the ghost tears that the kid got by accident as a reward for his seniors." ”
Zheng Kexiu didn't even look at the ghost tears, but looked at me carefully, he looked at me for several minutes, until my hairs stood on end, and then he whispered, "Are you sure you want to do these four things?" ”
If it weren't for the corpse's silence and death, I wouldn't want to bother with this matter at all! But now that it's happened, I have to bite the bullet.
So I bowed my head slightly: "Yes, please also ask the seniors to make it clear." ”
Zheng Kexiu pushed the ghost tears to me and said, "I don't need anything outside of my body." If you do one thing for me, I'll tell you how to do these four things! ”
I paused for a moment and said, "What does the senior want me to do?" ”
Zheng Kexiu said: "Thirty kilometers northwest of Wuqia County, there is a red hill, because it looks like a closed eye, so I call him Hongmu Mountain. ”
"At the foot of Hongmu Mountain, the strange rocks are craggy, all of which have been formed by the erosion of the wind and sand over the years. Inside those stones, there is a ghost market. ”
I thought about it carefully, and Wuqia County is the westernmost county seat in Kashgar. Thirty kilometers to the northwest, the county is basically at the junction of China and Kyrgyzstan.
Because I didn't open the map, I couldn't tell whether the Hongmu Mountain was in China or Kyrgyzstan.
Zheng Kexiu saw that I was listening carefully, and continued: "That ghost market has existed for a long time, and no one knows what era it goes back to. In the ghost market, I need you to get something back. ”
I frowned and said, "What do seniors need?" ”
Zheng Kexiu shook his head: "This thing is not what I need, but what you need." ”
After a pause, he said, "That thing is a gourd, about the size of a palm, and the material is not gold, iron, or wood. ”
"This gourd is hidden underground, and it should be the foundation for the formation of the ghost market. Without the gourd, this ghost market would not exist. But it's been too long, and the current ghost market managers don't know about it anymore, they just treat the gourd as an ordinary exorcism item. ”
"All you have to do is bring this gourd back. It doesn't matter if you are through normal transactions, or cheating, or even stealing and robbing. As soon as I see this gourd, I'll tell you how to accomplish those four things! ”
I was silent on the surface, but my mind was spinning fast. I've seen a lot of ghost cities, most of which are places with special terrain to gather yin.
The favorite thing for the lonely ghosts and ghosts to live in this kind of place is to live in this kind of place for a long time, and when the number of yin spirits gathered reaches a certain level, a ghost market will be formed.
The ghost merchant and the wanted criminal on the murderer list like this ghost market the most. Because there are very few rules in the ghost market, it is basically whoever has the biggest fist is the boss.
And there are many good things here, and the prices are much cheaper than those of ghost merchants in China. As long as you are willing to go to a few more ghost markets, you can buy anything.
The only drawback is that the ghost market does not exist for a long time, a ghost market, as short as seven or eight days, as long as a few months, will exhaust the local yin qi and tend to dissipate.
But the ghost market under Hongmu Mountain can exist for so long, it is really incredible. But what the hell is that gourd? It doesn't seem to be even recorded in the yin and yang chapter of the anti-evil notes!
Zheng Kexiu saw me pondering there and said, "That place is very dangerous, and if you go in with your ability, the mortality rate will be very high." Once they die, the three souls and seven spirits will remain in the ghost city forever. You have to think it through. ”
I said, "Senior, that gourd, is it important to the four things I said?" ”
Zheng Kexiu nodded: "It's very important, this thing is even the main reason why I am stranded in Kashgar City!" ”
I asked again: "You are better than me, I don't know how many times, why can't you get it yourself?" ”
I have to ask clearly about this matter, who is Zheng Kexiu? The first warlock of the Great Song Dynasty, with his ability, is just a ghost market, so isn't it free to come and go? If he wanted it, why didn't he go and get it himself?
Zheng Kexiu glanced at me appreciatively and said, "I'm waiting for the owner of the gourd." Only he could take that gourd. ”
I was dumbfounded, the owner of the gourd, is that me? Or ...... Born to a child? In that case, wouldn't it mean that the gourd was thousands of years old?
Grandma's, isn't the gourd thousands of years ago almost fossilized by now?
Zheng Kexiu saw my stunned expression, and said lightly: "I don't know if you are the owner of the gourd, but I know that I am definitely not." So I was waiting for him in Kashgar City. What do you think? Do you dare to give it a try? ”
When I saw his playful expression, I suddenly felt angry in my heart. This guy wants me to get the gourd is fake, and it's true that I'm being tested, right? A gourd, and it's not a smart little animal, is it possible that it still has long legs? Non-owners don't follow?
Excuses, right?
I'm a little helpless, whether it's an excuse or not, I'm here to beg him after all. Since he came up with this question, we have to move on. Otherwise, you will have to go home in a gloomy way.
So I thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay! I'm going to get that gourd! ”
When Zheng Kexiu saw that I agreed, he said loudly: "Little soul! Give me the ghost city map! ”
The soulbreaker came out of the room with a snort, and the guy still had a bound notebook in his mouth.
The Soul Breaker was very good to my senses, and when she put the map on the table, she meowed at me. I knew that this guy had a lot of intelligence, so I hurriedly said, "Thank you, Brother Cat." ”
Zheng Kexiu said: "The emperor is not a hungry soldier, this information is the ghost city intelligence that I have collected for three years. Including the managers of the ghost market, the rules that outsiders need to follow, and some murderers and evil people who avoid disasters all year round, are all recorded. It's about your own life, you watch carefully, don't be careless. ”
I took the booklet from the table, opened it with my head down, and looked through it, and found that in addition to the clean handwriting, there were some sketches on it.
Although it is a simple painting, the mountains and rivers, the terrain is high and low, and it is completely presented in the painting. The red eye mountain in the center is painted red, and it stands out on the drawing paper.
That's where I'm going.
I read through the pages and memorized them. Whoever wants to watch this will forget the time. It wasn't until after dawn that I woke up suddenly, and before I knew it, it was already dawn.
