Chapter 62: Kongtong Ghost City (Part II)
The sky is getting darker and darker, an afternoon is over, and the front is still unknown deep mountains and old forests, I don't know where I have gone now, in short, the afterglow of the sunset falls to the west mountain, this mountain is the first to enter the dark night, the mountain is dark quickly, not long, before the stars and the moon climb into the sky, the front has reached out and lost five fingers. I frowned, this is a mess, it's dark, I haven't made any progress yet.
It's so hard to find a ghost market, so wouldn't it be even more difficult to find the dead? Just as I was about to open the Sky Eye, suddenly in the pitch black environment in front of me, there seemed to be a few green points of light, jumping up and down, and then disappeared in a flash. Could it be a ghost fire? Well, where there is a ghost fire, there must be a grave, the old man who repaired the shoes said, and the ghost market seemed to be composed of patches of mass graves during the day.
If I follow that demonic fire, will I be able to find a mass grave? You might even find the location of the ghost market!
Thinking of this, I hurriedly dodged and chased after the ghost fire, this time the spirit void step was urged by me to the extreme, in the blink of an eye, it was more than thirty zhang away, the ghost fire that disappeared in the valley, I caught it again, they seemed to have found that I was tracking them, and in a flash they actually floated back quickly forward. My eyes lit up, and I hurried to follow behind, no matter how fast the ghostly fires fluttered, they couldn't escape my sight.
After a few take-offs, I saw that the field of vision in front of me suddenly became much wider, and it seems that I haven't been looking for the right place during the day! I have been wandering around in the deep mountains and old forests, who knows that this real place is so wide, and the trees are not so luxuriant, not far from the north, there is a puddle of water, and the south is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are really a lot of lonely graves!
The yin qi here is strong, and the dead qi gathers but does not disperse, which shows that many people have died here. Until now, the resentment has not yet dissipated, and I really can't figure out how the dead people here used to die, and they are so resentful! Thinking of this, I walked slowly between the mass graves, looking at the mass graves, saying that it was a mass graveyard, in fact, it should have been an orderly cemetery at the earliest, but it was a long time ago, and few people had set foot in this place, which led to the gradual abandonment of the cemetery.
After counting the hour, it is still the first hour of the hour, and there is still an hour before the hour! The earliest time to open the ghost market has to be around the time of Hai, and the best time is the time of the child and the time of the ugly. I need to find the location of the necrons when I enter the ghost market this time, so it will take a little longer, so I have to enter the ghost market an hour earlier, and the more time I have, the more chance I have to complete the task!
After glancing around, I flew up the hillside, and there was still an hour, I still waited quietly on the hillside for a while, and when the ghost market opened, I went down again. I found a boulder and lay on it, I closed my eyes slightly and pretended to sleep, and then I was in a daze, just when I was half awake and half asleep, suddenly, a trace of extremely cold breath swept over my body against the mountain rocks.
I stood up and looked down at the cemetery, only to see that the mass graveyard was still a mass graveyard, and the ghost market did not appear, but I looked up at the sky, and saw that the moonlight was close to the position of Zhongtian, and there was still a moment when it was time, I said, I don't have much time, I must enter the ghost market an hour in advance, that is, I must enter the time of Hai. It's just that I haven't found the entrance to the ghost market yet, so how do I get in?
A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and just as I was hesitating whether to go down or not, I suddenly noticed that there was a flat mountain road below me, and on the mountain road, there was a hunchbacked old man walking with a pick. If you look closely, this old man is not popular, so it can be seen that he is a ghost! I frowned, and immediately dodged down the hillside, and while walking on this yin and yang road, I quietly converged the innate Qi on my body, showing the appearance of an ordinary person.
It's just that the innate Yiqi in my body is too damaging to the ghosts, once the ghosts and demons notice that there is a congenital Yiqi on my body, don't think about it, they must turn around and run. However, I finally met such an old ghost, I had to ask for directions, and I pretended to be an ordinary person, and quickly caught up with this old man who picked picks, and after a closer look, this old man turned out to be the old man who sold rice cakes as the shoemaker said!
As the saying goes, no book is made without coincidence, this, this is too much of a coincidence, right? The cobbler met him here, and the first time I came here, I met him. That's not right! When the cobbler met this ghost old man who bought rice cakes last month, it was about the time of the child to the time of the ugly, and now it is the first hour of the hour, and there is a difference of about three hours in between, why did I meet him here?
It stands to reason that he should have passed by here in three hours!
Thinking of this, I hurriedly called out to the ghost old man and asked, "Uncle, the market has not opened yet, why are you picking up rice cakes to sell now?" ”
"Huh! Young man, you're going to the market too, aren't you? Let me tell you, the business at the market has been so good in the past two days, so I have to go back and forth to the market three times every time to pick up rice cakes and sell them! Now that business is good, I feel that I can't do it anymore, old man! ”
The ghost old man looked no different from a man in the yang world, and he also held a straw hat in his hand, which shook in front of him from time to time, and seemed to be tired and hot.
I immediately said, "Uncle, you are so tired, why don't you stop and rest for a while, let's all sit down and rest for a while, so that we can talk, and then you can go later, by the way, I will go to the market with you to see and understand, how about it?" When he heard that I was going to the market, the old man suddenly stopped, nodded his head again and again, and found a place to sit and rest. Looks very warm-hearted.
The ghost old man glanced me up and down, and his expression suddenly became complicated, but the innate Yiqi in my body converged to no trace, and he should not be able to detect it. After a while, the ghost old man did not show an inappropriate expression, and said with a smile: "Young man, why don't you sleep at home for a while when you are young, and run to the market in the middle of the night?" If you get lost in the mountains, you won't be able to go home! ”
Hearing this, I knew that this ghost old man was warning me, and it seemed that he didn't want to see me go to the ghost market, once I went, it would be difficult to come back. But he didn't know who I was, and if he did, he wouldn't say that. However, I am sure that this ghost old man is not a great evil ghost, and at least he can say some code words to warn the people of the yang world, and on this basis, I have no reason to deal with him.
"Huh! Thank you for your concern, in fact, I am also young and vigorous, I can't sleep at night, so I like to find a lively place to play! ”
I smiled, and then said, "I heard that there is a market in this area that is more than half a step away, and it is also very lively at night, so I can't help but be curious, and I really want to come and see. I didn't expect to meet people in the market, sir, don't you live in the market? I have to go to the market from other places every day, alas, it's really hard for your family! ”
Most of the ghosts who can go to the ghost market are trapped in the ghost market, and ghosts who can live in the outside world and communicate with the ghost market are really rare. This ghost old man is an exception, he doesn't live in the ghost market, but he can go in and out of the ghost market freely every day, which is what makes me puzzled. When the ghost old man heard this, he immediately sighed and smiled: "Alas, the ghost market has nowhere to live now, my son went early, so he grabbed a place and had a place to stay, and I have to live outside, delivering goods to my son and daughter-in-law every day, and supplying them for business, although it is hard, but for the sake of my son, I have to do this!" ”
Hearing this, I suddenly realized that the son and daughter-in-law of this ghost old man are all in the ghost market, so with this relationship, he can enter and exit the ghost market every day without being restricted. But what he said in his mouth is nowhere to stay, is it so competitive to survive in this ghost city? After thinking about it, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then, the ghost old man stood up, picked up the picker again, and was just about to leave, when the ghost old man suddenly turned his head to look at me and asked, "Young man, do you really want to go more than half a step?" ”
"Of course I want to go! I managed to find this place, and it would be a shame not to go! ”
I smiled lightly.
"This ...... Okay, but if you play a lap, it's best to leave, Xiao Lao'er will take you in, and you don't leave Xiao Lao'er's sight, Xiao Lao'er will come out in an hour, you must follow Xiao Lao'er out, otherwise ...... Otherwise you won't be able to get out! ”
The ghost old man was so kind, and the code words were all to this extent, so he almost told me directly, it was a ghost market, and it was full of ghosts, and I was a big living person, if I stayed too long, I might not be able to get out, die inside, and be trapped in it forever. Although the old man did not say these words, he told me to come out with him in an hour, and this is enough to show that this old man is not evil, but has good roots.
"Huh! In any case, thank you for the advice of the old man, I will definitely take care of safety! ”
I smiled, and then said, "But I'm sure nothing will happen to me, anyway, there are so many people in the market, how lively!" I'm going to have to play a little longer before I come out, by the way, your old man has to go in three times a day, well, this time we'll go in together, and when I go to the third trip, I'll come out with your old man, how about it? Hearing my words, the ghost old man opened his mouth in a daze, and after a long time, he didn't say anything more, silently lowered his head, and no longer paid attention to me, and continued to move forward with his pick.
