After I was full of wine and food, I touched my round belly and burped and looked at Old Man Xiao: "Old Xiao! Belch! I'm full. It's time for us to go! After speaking, he took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and looked at it: "Lao Xiao, it's already two o'clock, and there is still an hour to open the ghost market, can we have time?" ”

Lao Xiao smiled: "Boy, don't worry! No lateness guaranteed. After speaking, he picked up the tissue on the table and wiped his oily mouth: "Ah Hong! Take out my box! ”

Sister Hong turned around and walked to the wall, pressed a button on the wall, and suddenly a dark grid appeared on the wall. A black wooden box is sitting in the dark compartment.

Sister Hong carefully took out the wooden box in the dark compartment and handed it to Old Man Xiao: "Mr. Xiao, the things inside are all there." Old man Xiao took the box and nodded: "I am completely relieved that this box is placed here for you." After saying that, he opened the wooden box and took out another wooden sign from it and hung it around his neck. Then he took out two metal masks and handed them to me: "Boy, don't lose the mask and the wooden card, or you will be in trouble." ”

"Don't worry when you're old! I'm not a three-year-old, I'm about to be thirty. I took the metal mask from Old Man Xiao's hand and said impatiently.

"Let's go! It's time for us to go, just bring the mask before entering the ghost market, don't rush now. Old man Xiao handed the wooden box to Sister Hong, turned her head to me and said, and then motioned for me to prepare to go

I nodded, took the mask in my hand, and followed closely behind Old Man Xiao. After walking for about twenty minutes, we came to the side of a relatively remote town. Old man Xiao stopped: "Okay, I'll be in the ghost market soon." Let's put on our masks! Remember! Don't talk in the ghost market. I nodded, and put the metal mask on my hand.

The metal mask was very cool on the face, and it seemed to be just the same size. Old man Xiao patted me on the shoulder, and then pointed to the archway in front of me. I immediately understood that the inside of the torii should be a ghost market. So he nodded and followed the footsteps of Old Man Xiao tightly.

Suddenly, two tall black figures blocked the way for me and Old Man Xiao, and then stretched out their hands to us and made a strange gesture. When I took a closer look, the two men in black in front of me were both over two meters tall and very burly, and they were both wearing the same metal masks as us. I hurriedly looked at Old Man Xiao. I saw Old Man Xiao stretch out his index finger and point to the ground, and then pointed to the wooden sign hanging around his neck. I also imitated Old Man Xiao's movements according to the gourd painting.

The two men in black looked carefully at the wooden sign around our necks, then reached out and made a gesture of please. Old man Xiao nodded and strode inside, and I hurriedly followed. When I looked back again, the two men in black had disappeared, and I wondered, "Damn! Disappeared in just a few seconds, is this a human or a ghost? That's too fast, right? ”

After a while in the complicated town, I finally saw a dim light not far away, and under the light was a crowded figure. Because of the lighting, the figures were like translucent ghosts. I looked around curiously, and thought to myself: What a ghost market! The market opened in the middle of the night, and everything inside was ghostly.

Old man Xiao patted me, then pointed to the shadowy figure and nodded at me, and then walked forward, I hurriedly followed Old Man Xiao.

There were several people gathered in front of a small wooden table, and Old Man Xiao took my arm and leaned over there. I glanced at the people around me and saw that the people around here were wearing the same metal masks on their faces. There were several pieces of blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty on the table in the crowd, and the masked man sitting at the table held out his finger from time to time. The crowd of onlookers also stretched out their fingers from time to time. It was as if they were talking about the price, but the crowd never spoke. I could smell a faint earthy smell from the masked man sitting on it, mixed with the rotting stench of corpses. I immediately understood that this person should be a tomb robber, dealing with the Ming artifact that had just been dug up in the ghost market. It seems that this ghost market is really as Old Man Xiao said.

Old man Xiao poked my arm lightly, and then continued to walk forward. I was about to turn around and leave when I accidentally bumped into a sturdy figure, and I was about to apologize. Old man Xiao walked over quickly. Reach out and make a mysterious gesture to the person who collided with me.

And I felt the mysterious man's eyes staring at me, and even though we were both wearing metal masks, I still felt that his eyes behind the mask were terrifying.

After staring at him for a while, the man also made a mysterious gesture to Old Man Xiao, and then waved his hand to signal that we could leave. Old man Xiao nodded hurriedly and pulled me away quickly, but I felt a chill in my back, as if the person's eyes were still staring at me viciously.

Under the dim light, there is an endless stream of shadowy figures. The ground on both sides was filled with all kinds of antiques, artifacts, and even the corpses of babies.

After a while, Old Man Xiao led me to a deserted stall and squatted down, there were several wooden boxes on the stall, each with a small bead with an aura. Because the people of our mountain sect often go to the mountains to hunt for treasures, I recognized them at once, and those were not small beads at all, but Neidan. It's just not clear if these are animal naidans or 。。。。。

Old man Xiao stretched out his hand and tapped the box containing a black bead, and the person next to the stall immediately stretched out two fingers. Old man Xiao straightened one finger, then bent it again. The man in the stall paused for a moment, then nodded. He put the wooden box into a sack and handed it to Old Man Xiao. Old man Xiao took out a thick stack of hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and put them in front of the stall.

The vendor took out a wooden ruler and measured the stack of hundred-dollar bills, then nodded and put them in a black sack.

Old man Xiao handed me the sack containing the wooden box, and then made a retreat gesture. "What? Fei is so hard to come to the ghost market to buy a small black bead? "When I was wondering, Old Man Xiao had already walked away. I hurried to catch up with him.

At this time, there were more and more figures in the ghost market, but they couldn't hear the sound of speech at all, as if the people in this ghost city were ghosts. I didn't expect that there was such a mysterious place in Changsha, so I thought to myself while following Old Man Xiao outside.

After a while, the dim lights and shadowy figures were no longer visible. There was silence all around, as if everything was sleeping. The ghost market inside is completely different from the outside, and although there is no verbal communication inside, it is still much more lively than the silence outside.
