After eating the noodles, Wu Xin was called away by his father alone, probably because Wu Zhengyi wanted to know about the situation of their Maoyan Cave group.

Somehow, after the secret conversation, Wu Zhengyi checked Shen Jinsan's body, and arranged for him to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard and close his eyes to recuperate, saying that he wanted Shen Jinsan to feel the breath of all things on his own, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

When the sun was about to set, Wu Zhengyi ordered Shen Jinsan to drive everyone all the way south, straight to the Yuanfu Wanning Palace located in Maoshan Jijin Peak.

Coming to the destination, you can meet a lot of tourists and believers, the glamorous and incomparable Ah Zhen attracted passers-by to look sideways, and there are many Taoist priests who came forward to greet Wu Zhengyi, through the entire Yuanfu Wanning Palace, you can see an old Taoist priest guarding an old wooden door by the towering wall.

When the old Taoist priest saw Wu Zhengyi coming, he slowly got up and saluted: "Brother Wu Dao, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed!" ”

Wu Zhengyi saluted: "Senior Brother Zhao, I want to go to Houshan Ghost City." ”

The old Taoist priest opened the door: "Please!" ”

Wu Zhengyi: "Thank you! ”

Passing through this gate is a path that leads to the dense forest, and from here, tourists and the like are not allowed to enter, except for Taoist priests and a small number of believers.

After passing through several forks in the road, going around the forest, it seemed that he had gone up to a higher place, because it was getting late, and the Taoist priest who was collecting medicine was no longer visible.

Wu Zhengyi led everyone to a low cave and stopped: "Passing through here is the ghost market, Wu Xin will survey everyone later, don't touch the things that others are putting on casually, you can remember, if you cause trouble in the ghost market, I don't care!" ”

A few wisps of smoke came out of the entrance of the cave from time to time, it was a fairyland, and finally when he saw the mysterious ghost market that Wu Xin often mentioned, Shen Jinsan's heart suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing.

The cave was filled with smoke, just enough for Wu Zhengyi to stand up straight, while Shen Jinsan and Guo Fatzi had to hunch their backs to move forward.

There was a strange smell in it, and every few steps on both sides of the candle would be lit with an earthy yellow candle, which was very strange, and the smoke and strange smell came from it.

Guo Fatzi was curious, so he asked Wu Zhengyi: "I said Uncle Wu, why are there so many smoking candles here, and the smell is still weird?" ”

Wu Zhengyi: "This is a dog oil candle, the ghost market is only open at night, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, it is easy to attract unclean things, dog oil is also relatively easy to get, so it is used more frequently, you can resist it a little after you light it, if someone has unclean things attached to it, you can't get in." ”

Guo Fatzi: "Slightly? ”

Wu Zhengyi: "That's right! Occasionally, there will be powerful characters coming in, and dog oil will be of little use. ”

As he spoke, he had reached the front exit, and he could see a little spark outside, and someone had drawn charms on the walls on both sides of the exit, which might have the same effect as a dog oil candle, and followed Wu Zhengyi through the cave and down the stairs made of broken stones, and the legendary ghost market was displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

The ghost market was crowded with people, but there was no sound of talking, and the empty ground was set up with stalls, and there were many old-looking wooden houses with lights, and many low stone stalactites were hung with candlesticks, and they were also lit with dog oil candles.

This is actually a huge karst cave located in the mountain, the cave is extremely deep, and the other end is very dark, maybe the candlelight is not bright enough to see too far.

Walking down the crooked path, a rag or a few pieces of cardboard was a stall, mostly filled with herbs and old books, unknown powders and liquids in bottles, animal bones or strange minerals as commodities, and most horrific were a few mutilated dried human corpses.

The stalls on both sides were plainly dressed Taoist priests, ordinary people in ordinary clothes, and some were sloppy like beggars, but a few vendors with hats with low brims were particularly glaring, and there was nothing but a dead wood in front of them.

As long as these vendors are not patronized, they basically keep their heads down and do not say a word, and the voices of those who talk about business will be very low, as if they are afraid that outsiders will know the content of the conversation.

Wu Zhengyi whispered: "Don't look, don't ask, follow me!" ”

Passing through these spilled stalls, the way is blocked by a large wall in front of you, which is a natural stone wall with a large hole carved out of the middle, and you have to climb a ladder made of wood to climb it.

Walking into the big hole is a passage dug by man, there is no candle in it, relying on the light from the other end, you can barely see the foot clearly, there are gray and mottled murals on both sides of the passage, Shen Jinsan muttered in his heart, how does it look similar to the tomb.

After a passage of more than 100 meters, Wu Zhengyi led everyone into a large and deep stone chamber in all directions, which was very humid, and if you lived here all year round, it would definitely be very unfavorable to the health of the human body.

There are a lot of simple candlesticks hanging on the walls, but they are not dog oil candles, but ordinary oil lamps, and there are intricate and exaggerated murals on the top of the stone room, although most of them have been oxidized and peeled off, but they can still be understood, and the famous flying sky has the same effect.

There are also a lot of vendors set up stalls on the ground, but they are much more neat and orderly than outside, with a straight road for people to walk on, and some of the stalls have cardboard with the names of the goods written in front of them, and there are no bloody things such as dried corpses, and the vendors are dressed relatively normally.

Exaggeratedly, there are also well-dressed people walking around with leather bags or backpacks on their backs, like serious businessmen outside.

There are many arches more than half a person high on both sides of the stone room, and there is no one in front of the arches, but there will be a long vertical candlestick on the side, and wherever there is a candle on the candlestick, there must be light in the arch.

Shen Jinsan saw the clue at a glance, here is clearly a Tang Dynasty tomb, the arches on both sides are the ear room, mostly for the small room where the burial goods are placed, the Tang Dynasty took the mountain as the mausoleum project is huge, the scale here is not small, I don't know which emperor's burial place.

The ghost market is simply another world, with strange locations, strange merchants, unknown goods, and this Tang Dynasty mausoleum.

Wu Zhengyi didn't stop, he walked straight into one of the arches, as Shen Jinsan expected, it was really an ear room for funeral goods, it was very clean, there were two old wooden counters and a few sacks of herbs in the back, and the counter was still glass.

An old man with reading glasses was leaning on a broken rattan chair in front of the counter to read a book, and when he saw Wu Zhengyi coming, he seemed a little happy, and after taking off his glasses and slowly putting the book on the counter, he stood up and said, "Yo! Wu Zhengyi! Didn't you say that you saved people, why did you bring a few new faces today! ”

"Wu Xin, go behind the counter and move a few stools." Wu Zhengyi casually looked at the goods on the counter: "Old man Dongfang, where is your son?" ”

This person is the father of the famous vendor "Dongchangdong" in the ghost market "Dongfang Ze", and Dongchangdong's real name is "Dongfang He", it is said that the name of the compound surname Dongfang is too difficult to take, and his mother's surname is He, so the two surnames are simply added together to take this name, because he loves to play mahjong and hopes to sit in the village often, so he added a nickname to himself called Dong Changdong.

Dongfang Ze sighed: "Hey~!" It is estimated that this kid has gone to play cards again, and this point has not come back yet, so I am afraid that it will be delayed to ask him to collect medicinal herbs. ”

Wu Xin brought a few broken plastic stools to distribute to everyone, Wu Zhengyi dragged one over and sat opposite Dongfang Ze: "Don't wait for him, I want to get some medicinal materials for treating bruises and internal injuries, and I also need a lot of flint powder, is there any ready-made in the shop?" ”

"I'll find it for you." After a while, Dongfang Ze turned out a lot of sacks, and he spread them all out on the counter: "This is a centipede into the ground, this is a heartgrass, and this red-haired horse tire." ”

Wu Zhengyi flipped through: "The herbs are almost there, what about the flint powder?" ”

"Yo ho! Wu Zhengyi is here! At this time, Dong Changdong walked in with a sack of medicinal herbs on his back and threw it directly behind the counter.

Dongfang Ze: "You rabbit cub, don't do business, are you going to play cards again!" ”

Dong Changdong wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve: "Dad! The herbs aren't going to be brought back for you! I didn't go to play cards, I just came over and met the old fritters, something happened at his house, we chatted a few words, it just so happened that Wu Zhengyi you are here, I will help the old fritters ask something. ”

Wu Zhengyi: "I want flint powder, help me get it first." ”

Dong Changdong: "What are you anxious about!" I really don't have flint powder here, how dangerous that thing is, I haven't been in it for a long time, you know that the old fritter likes to pour these rare goods, he must have stock there, let's go to his place later! ”

"Okay, the old fritter is too slippery, I don't want to see him, I really don't want to deal with him, these medicinal materials are put here first, and then I will take it away after I get the flint powder, and the money will be counted later." It seems that Wu Zhengyi really has no money.

Dong Changdong quickly tied up the medicinal herbs and put them aside in the corner: "These medicinal materials are not valuable, but the Ganoderma lucidum grass last time is not cheap, and the flint powder is also expensive, I am here to say, and you Wu Daxia is an old friend, if you owe it, you owe, but the old fritters, there is no real money and silver is really not good, but you helped him solve the trouble, maybe he can give it to you!" ”

Shen Jinsan, who was silent on the side, suddenly stood up and walked to the counter, took out something from his pocket and gently put it on the counter, it was the gold coffin nail that he and Guo Fatzi stole in the tomb of General Yujiashan: "Is this thing enough to pay your bill?" ”

Wu Zhengyi's father and daughter looked at Shen Jinsan suspiciously, and Wu Xin's face was even more joyful, because Shen Jinsan said in person that he would pay the bill for Wu Zhengyi, but he didn't expect him to break his promise.

Dong Changdong picked it up and looked at it carefully, and he looked very surprised: "Yo! This is a magic weapon, or gold, it must be more than enough to pay the bill! I can't imagine that there is a master here! In the future, if something comes out of the ground is brought directly here, I will definitely give a good price! ”
