Chapter 463: Inside and outside the ghost city
"What, there are still ghosts in the ghost market?" The pumpkin was shocked. Not only him, but even I was amazed.
Huo Yu explained: "It's not a big deal, fighting is not allowed in the ghost market, and some magic circles have also been set up, even if the popularity is relatively heavy, the ghosts will not be affected." As long as those ghosts are honest, no one will care about them. ”
"Of course, many times, the ghosts who enter the ghost city in the city, they don't belong to the kind of ghosts that are extremely vicious, otherwise they won't be able to enter the ghost city. And often these ghosts, the things they sell are quite strange, and some things are rare and rare. ”
The more Huo Yu said, the more it aroused my curiosity and expectation.
The meal was almost finished, I put down my chopsticks and said, "Let's go, let's go to the ghost market now." ”
Unexpectedly, Huo Yu showed a little embarrassed look, and said pitifully to me: "That, Brother Qin, I have something to ask you." ”
I knew what he was going to say, and I said, "You're trying to borrow money, right?" Say, how much to borrow? ”
Huo Yu and Zuo Santong glanced at each other, and they both showed surprises in their eyes. But then it was replaced by surprise: "Haha, Brother Qin, you are really a noble person for me and my senior brother, and before we can say it, you will know what we are thinking." ”
"We want to get something, but we still have a little money left to make up enough, so, Brother Qin, see if you can lend us 10,000 yuan."
When the pumpkin heard this, he immediately said unhappily: "Ten thousand yuan, is it a little bit?" You two are really rich. ”
However, I know that it is not difficult for me and Pumpkin to take out 10,000 yuan, and there are still more than 100,000 yuan left in the card.
Huo Yu and Zuo Santong were also a little embarrassed and looked at me expectantly.
I said to the pumpkin, "Forget it, don't be serious with the two of them." Then, I said to Huo Yu and Zuo Santong, "Don't worry, I lent you this 10,000 yuan." But the money is in the card, and when you get to the ghost market, if you want to buy something, I will help you swipe the card. ”
Huo Yu hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Brother Qin, thank you." If we knew you had money here, we wouldn't have been embarrassed and fooled around with money before. ”
Then, after tidying up, the four of us left the house and locked the door by the way. In fact, you don't need a lock, you can. There wasn't anything important in the room except for a few clothes, and I carried my backpack directly on my back.
Although it is late at night in Wangzhang Village, there are still a lot of livelihoods in the village at night, several small restaurants are still open, there are also many stalls selling barbecue on the street, and many tourists who come here to play are hanging out.
The Lushan faction is engaged in this set, in fact, it is similar to the temple fair, increasing popularity and making some spare money.
We walked along the stone path on the side of the street, not fast, not slow, but leisurely. Maybe Huo Yu's appearance is quite high, so when he walks, there will be girls looking at him from time to time. He may also be used to it, tilting his head and looking haughty.
"Senior Brother Huo, you have a very high rate of turning back." I quipped.
Huo Yu hehey and said, "That's right, although I'm usually very busy, I also pay attention to maintenance." These days, I have a beautiful face and can eat anywhere. ”
He's telling the truth, this is an era of face-seeking.
The village was originally small, and we walked all the way north until we came to a small road. There are even electric lights on the path, one for a few hundred meters, as if they are showing us the way.
At the same time, you can also see scattered people walking towards the back mountain. Among them, there is a Taoist priest with Taoism, Huo Yu's interpersonal relationship is good, and he is familiar with many Taoist priests of the Lushan Sect, and he will greet him when he meets him.
After entering the back mountain, we first passed through a forest, and then, in front of us, a cave appeared.
The entrance to the cave is guarded, and there are two headlights standing next to it, which look bright, and people enter and exit from time to time.
This includes Taoist priests, as well as tourists who come here to play.
Tourists come here to hang out and buy something fun or quirky. This has also spawned some fake Taoist priests mixed in, selling some fake talismans, magic weapons and the like.
But one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and no one will break this kind of thing.
As for the Taoist priest, the purpose of coming here is more to enter the inner market of the ghost market, to go inside and around, to see if you can find something valuable.
The two people guarding the entrance of the ghost market, both dressed in black, stood there neatly, and when someone entered the ghost market, their eyes would take a look, and they did not stop them.
According to Huo Yu's previous statement, the outside of the ghost market can be entered and exited at will.
This is different from other ghost markets.
Pumpkin followed the three of us into the outer city of the ghost market, and was not hindered. However, the two people who were guarding the entrance to the ghost market still looked at us for a moment, but quickly moved away. Of these two people, I perceive that one person has Taoist mana in his body and is a Taoist priest.
The other one is just an ordinary person.
As soon as I entered the ghost market, I saw a crowd of people walking around, and there were quite a few small stalls. The stalls are lined with bottles and jars, which look like old objects from the eighties and nineties.
There are also some people who sell antiques, jade, Buddha statues, copper kettles, silverware, jade pendants, beads and so on.
A very good-looking girl was standing in front of a stall and was bargaining with a stall owner, but the exorcism charm sold by the stall owner was obviously a fake, but it cost the girl 500 yuan, which was really a cheat.
Originally, I wanted to squeak, but Huo Yu tugged at my arm.
He leaned up to me and whispered, "Brother Qin, let's not be greedy for this kind of thing, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Even if we know it's fake, we can't interfere, that's the rule here. ”
I nodded: "Well, okay, I understand. ”
However, there are also many stalls selling genuine goods. Even, I saw some stalls selling corpse oil, good guy, I don't know where he got such a big bottle of corpse oil.
When the bearded Taoist priest Zuo Santong saw me staring at the big bottle of corpse oil, he whispered to me: "The man who sells corpse oil is called Wang Zhou, and he is a staff member of the crematorium, so it is naturally easy to get corpse oil." ”
The good guy turned out to be the people of the crematorium!
But he made corpse oil from a dead man, this is a matter of lack of great virtue, I can't complain about that guy's dead face, feelings, I'm afraid he has really suffered retribution, and whether he can survive for a year is a question.
There are a lot of stalls in other cities, but when they add up, they are only a few dozen meters away. We quickly made our way through the crowd.
Not far away, two rune pillars appeared, and next to them stood four men who were also dressed in black, all of whom were Taoist priests.
The rune pillar is engraved with runes, exuding a yellow light, and a lot of Taoist mana has been injected into it.
Moreover, a film of light appeared between the two rune pillars, like a piece of frosted glass, and it was only possible to vaguely see people walking around in the inner city, but the actual situation could not be seen.
"It's the inner city of the ghost market ahead, let's go over. However, little pumpkin brother, you have to stay in the outer city first, you are not a Taoist priest, and you can't enter the inner city. ”
Pumpkin smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just stay in the outer city, the outer city is also very big, and I am also very interested in a lot of novel gadgets." ”
After I told the pumpkin a few words, I followed Huo Yu and Zuo Santong and the two of them towards the inner city. Seeing that we were about to enter the inner city, the four Taoist priests who were guarding the talisman pillar stared at us.
"Please release the Taoist mana!" One of the Taoist priests spoke, his voice not salty or light.
So, the three of us gathered a little Taoist mana into the palm of our hands to prove our identity as Taoist priests.
"Okay, let's go in." The Taoist priest spoke again.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Yu and Zuo Santong passed through the middle of the rune pillar and were not blocked. I also stepped forward, followed their example, and walked through.
When I first passed through the rune pillar, I felt the Taoist mana on my body, as if it had been completely triggered, and the "magic body" on my body was almost revealed.
However, the momentum of the moment still shocked the four Taoist priests guarding the door. Let's just say that at this time, I have entered the inner market.
"I was not wrong just now, that little Taoist priest has such a deep Taoism!" One of the Taoist priests guarding the pillar spoke in shock.
The three Taoist priests next to him also felt the fluctuation of Taoist mana just now.
"That's right, that little Taoist's Taoist mana is indeed very profound, and it is not much better than the elders of our Lushan Sect General Altar." One of the Taoist priests asked, "This person should also be here to participate in the fighting competition, have you seen him?" ”
The other three Taoist priests all shook their heads, and the look of surprise on their faces was still there.
Later, a Taoist priest spoke: "That little brother is indeed a profound Taoist, but it may also be that he has cultivated some kind of Taoist technique to fix his appearance. ”
"Perhaps, he looks very young, but in fact he is already an old man in his seventies and eighties."
"Hehe, Senior Brother Zhang is right, maybe that little brother is a bad old man. Otherwise, it would be incredible to reach such a profound Taoism at such a young age. Anyway, I haven't seen it. ”
"Maybe this little Taoist priest is from another sect."
The four of them were chatting while guarding the inner city.
As soon as my eyes lit up, people entered the inner market.
The inside of the inner city is brightly lit, and it is much more spacious than the outer city of the ghost city, although there are not many people, but there are all roads. The stalls inside are not casually furnished, but have special shops.
The shop was carved out of the stone wall, and although it was not large, it looked very regular.
"Brother Qin, go this way!" Huo Yu greeted.
Then, I followed Huo Yu and Zuo Santong and walked towards the row of shops on the left-hand side. I passed through a few shops in the middle, and I found that there were not many things in the shops, but there were yellow charms, cinnabar water, magic utensils, herbs and other things.
Even the hooves of black donkeys, ink fountains, rhinoceros horns, black dog blood... and other things that drive away ghosts and evil spirits, all of which are genuine.
After walking a few steps, Huo Yu and Zuo Santong entered a shop.
The owner of the shop was an old woman, who looked thin and undressed, and her hair was unkempt, like an old beggar.
"Granny Diao, we're here, can you keep that thing for us?" Huo Yu asked with a smile, but his smile was a little flattering, and he really looked like a little white face.
