"Good noodles!" Gu Shun exclaimed, he picked up the noodles with chopsticks, ate them in one bite, and admired while eating, "Good noodles, good noodles." ”

After a while, Gu Shun ate the Ten Kings noodles in one go, and even drank the soup.

Lao He still looked at him with a smile, as if he was looking at a very interesting work of art.

"The noodles are really good, and when you eat them, you will feel much better. Lao He said with a smile.

"Did something happen here last night?" Gu Shun looked around, his memory was rather vague, and he only had a little impression, "I feel that all this is not real." ”

"You're just dreaming. Lao He said with a smile, "When people dream, there are good dreams and bad dreams." ”

Gu Shun finished eating, wiped his mouth, and wanted to stand up.

"It's time for me to go. ”

Lao He stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Ten cents, thank you for your patronage." ”

Gu Shun touched his body, he didn't bring any money, he looked at Lao He.

Lao He also looked at him, and his outstretched hand did not let go.

"Boss, I didn't bring any money today. ”

Gu Shun stood up, touched his body, patted it, and said that he was not lying.

"I know you didn't bring any money. Lao He smiled, but his hand had been taken back.

"Then why are you holding me back? ”

Lao He asked, "Why are there many times when you don't understand many things?"

"There are some things I may not understand, but I think it's too late to understand. ”

Gu Shun said, "I know you can teach me a lot of things that I can't. ”

"There are some things that you know better than you don't. ”

"I want to know. ”

Lao He picked up the burden and sighed, "You come with me."

Gu Shun followed behind Lao He and walked for a while, the road became longer and longer, and there seemed to be no end, there were fewer and fewer people, and it became more and more desolate.

Lao He stopped at a fork in the road, took out a black stone engraved with a strange pattern from his arms, and shook it into the air, the stone dripped, and then suddenly made a loud noise.

"Smack!", a hole seemed to be torn open in the air, Lao He walked in, and although Gu Shun hesitated, he also walked in.

It's still a town, but it's getting a lot darker, and the shops on both sides of the street are lit up dimly.

Lao He was still walking forward, and Gu Shun was also following behind.

But the scenery on both sides became more and more eerie, the originally quiet and peaceful street became darker, and the faces of the people on both sides became more and more hideous.

"Where is this?" asked Gu Shun.

Lao He didn't look back, and continued to move forward.

Halfway through, Lao He suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard of the ghost market?"

Gu Shun shook his head, "I've heard rumors, but we're in Yancheng now, and there can't be a ghost market...... Right?"

Only then did he realize that the streets around him had turned into ruins, and the street lamps and buildings on both sides seemed to be dyed with a layer of gray and black, and a layer of fog was in front of them, and they could only see things three meters away.

"What kind of place is this?" asked Gu Shun.

The people on the street seemed to be looking at them with indifferent expressions.

There seemed to be someone setting up a stall on the side of the road to sell something, and Gu Shun wanted to walk over and take a look.

Lao He said: "Don't look, it has nothing to do with you, just follow me." ”

Gu Shun secretly thought in his heart, does this Lao He have eyes behind him? Dispelled the idea of stopping and looking, and followed Lao He.

Lao He still walked forward unhurriedly and with the burden.

At this moment, a small stall appeared in the distance, lit by a lamp, the light flickered on and off, and under the light an old woman was scooping up a bowl of soup with a spoon, which was strangely black, and was steaming in the bowl.

"It's here. Lao He said with a smile

Gu Shun sighed, "It seems that I was wrong." ”

Lao He asked, "What are you wrong?"

Gu Shun said: "I used to think that the ghost market was just an ethereal legend, but now I know that it is true. ”

Lao He smiled and said, "It's still too late to know." ”

Gu Shun said: "The ghost market is indeed a good place for cultivation, and it is also a place where you can encounter many strange people and strange things. ”

Lao He said: "Not necessarily. He walked up to the old woman and said, "Bring us a soul-gathering soup." ”

The old woman didn't seem to hear Lao He's words, and tremblingly scooped up another bowl of black soup and put it on the table, when a black hand reached out from under the table and took the bowl away, and the squeaky sound was remembered below.

After a while, an empty bowl was placed under the table again, only this time there was an extra gray-white object in it.

The old woman picked up the gray-white thing, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it for a while, and then said, "Lao He, why should I give you this soul-gathering soup." ”

Lao He took out something from his arms and shook it in front of the old woman.

"You know I'm not sure I'm going to come to you. ”

The old woman took one look, sighed again, and put the gray thing on her body, and added some firewood to the bottom of the pot, and the faint blue light rose very high at once.

Lao He still didn't leave, he just stood there waiting for the old woman.

Gu Shun didn't move, he also stood there, waiting for Lao He.

The old woman shook her head: "No way, I owe it to you." ”

She made up her mind and looked at it, "I won't be able to get it tonight, so let's do it, tomorrow night or this time, you guys will come back again." ”

Lao He picked up the burden again, turned around and walked forward.

Gu Shun looked at the old woman's soup in a trance.

The old woman found that Gu Shun was staring at her soup, and smiled, although it was a smile, but the toothless smile on her mouth had a frightening feeling.

"Do you know what's in that empty bowl just now?"

Gu Shun shook his head.

"That's the bones, they made them out of the bones of the dead, and a hundred dead people can refine one bone, just to exchange for my bowl of soup. ”

"Bone?" Gu Shun was taken aback.

At this time, Lao He had already walked out of the road.

"Why don't you keep up?" Lao He beckoned not far away.

Gu Shun could only continue to follow him forward.

The two of them walked a little further, and there were fewer and fewer ghosts on the road.

Lao He continued to walk forward, and at this time, Gu Shun felt that the ground on the ground had become hard, and after walking for a while, he found that the ground had become a bluestone slab.

"Do you feel familiar?" Lao He took Gu Shun and walked a few more steps, and with every step on the ground, something seemed to come out of the footprints.

Gu Shun looked at the ground and remembered something in a trance, and at this time, Lao He's footsteps were getting faster and faster.

The faster Lao He walked, the footprints on the ground seemed to be alive, highlighting living things on the ground.

The pace of Lao He's walk is also changing, and he seems to be deliberately walking a special footwork.

When he reached the middle of a huge field, a huge snake pattern stood out on the ground, and a faint light sprinkled from the void, covering the sky, condensing into a little blue light on the ground.

"Do you know why I brought you here?" asked Lao He.

"Ghost market boundary. Gu Shun muttered.
