Chapter 12: Ghost City Ding Liujiu
"Ghost City?"
I was at a loss, I didn't know what kind of ghost market my cousin was talking about, and at this time, my cousin had already walked towards the weedy unfinished building in front of me.
There are already many terrifying legends circulating in this area, and with this special time period at this time, it makes this area even more unpredictable.
When I entered it, my cousin simply explained to me the meaning of this ghost market.
He said that this ghost market, to put it bluntly, is to trade some unknown sources, or tomb robberies to get cultural relics, or illegal goods market, the market will open at nightfall, before the rooster crows, in this ghost market, there are all kinds of strange things, if you can afford the price, the Empress Dowager Cixi's belly pocket can be brought to you.
I immediately understood that this ghost market is actually some gray areas that are not subject to legal constraints, which is often referred to as the black market in movies, but there is a big essential difference between this and the black market, the black market mainly deals in arms and pills, and the main transaction here is illegal resale of antique cultural relics.
And at this time, I also know the purpose of my cousin bringing me here, now, the two Fu Xiaoqin have not appeared, and the small one is likely to hide in the back mountain, after all, my dad killed Fu Xiaoqin in the back mountain twelve years ago, and the Houshan Heavenly Burial Cave has always been the forbidden place of our Longxi Village, before a certain certainty, even my cousin did not dare to easily break into the back mountain to find Fu Xiaoqin.
And this adult Fu Xiaoqin is nowhere to be found now, but she left a crested hairpin with us, and the cousin's purpose is to use this hairpin to find people who know the goods, and then find clues to the whereabouts of the adult Fu Xiaoqin.
Soon, I followed my cousin to the depths of this unfinished building, and the further I went, the more I felt a biting cold, and finally, a fog suddenly appeared in front of me, and in the fog, there were many figures crowded.
Seeing such a scene, my mind instantly made up the images from countless horror movies, and my heart became nervous, and my cousin didn't have much emotional change, he suddenly asked me to close my eyes, and then pulled me and walked briskly inside.
I was very obedient, and I didn't dare to open my eyes after closing them, and it was only after my cousin pulled me to stride for nearly half a minute that my cousin asked me to open my eyes.
When I opened my eyes, I was really stunned by the scene in front of me.
In front of me, there are several staggered lanes, each lane is about 50 meters long and about 3 meters wide, and on both sides of the lanes are all those unfinished and unfinished wall roots, and in front of the wall roots are shadows and shadows, squatting many people, some people put a horse lamp in front of their feet, but the lamp twist is very small, the faint light can not even see the faces of those people clearly, and some even put an oil lamp directly in front of them, which makes the light of his area appear even more dim.
In front of these people, some of them put some antique clothes and jewelry, and some of them put some bottles and cans of antiques, as for the authenticity of this, there is no way to know.
The whole ghost market seems to be very quiet, those who sell things never shout, and even if they bargain with each other to buy something, the voice is very low, once the deal is made, one hand pays the money and the other hand delivers, and when you turn around, you don't admit it.
I followed behind my eldest brother and kept looking at the pedestrians who were doing business around me with a curious look, and each of them gave me a sense of great curiosity and mystery.
At this time, it was as if I was in another world.
Eventually, my cousin led me through two lanes and stopped at the innermost corner of the third.
In this corner, there was a strange man in a black cloth robe, wrapped his whole body tightly, and only a pair of eyes appeared on his head.
The cousin stopped in front of the strange man, then slowly crouched down, and put his black bag in front of the yellow cloth.
I felt strange standing next to me, I didn't know what my cousin meant, and I was also very curious about this strange man, he came to this ghost market, found a stall, but only put a rag, not sell anything, what does this mean?
Just when I was still thinking nonsense, the strange man suddenly raised his head to look at me, and the moment his eyes touched, I only felt a chill down my spine.
This guy's eyes are really terrible, because he is blind at all, and in his sockets, I can only see two very narrow whites, and there are no eyeballs at all, but although he is blind, when he stares at me, he gives me the feeling that every part of his body is exposed to him.
"Young man, in this ghost market, it's not just antique cultural toys that can be sold, there are some goods that you can't see."
The strange man's voice was hoarse as if it were charcoal, and I was shocked on the spot, what was going on, why did he know that I was a young man when he couldn't see me? What's even more terrifying is that this guy, how can he know what I'm thinking?
Not only me, but my cousin, who had just squatted, also frowned at this time: "Why can you see my cousin?" “
The strange man didn't answer, but turned his blind eyes at my cousin: "It's not the first time you've been here, and you know my rules here." “
My cousin nodded slightly, and then opened the black cloth bag, and at this time I saw the contents of my cousin's black cloth bag, which was actually a whole bag of banknotes.
The cousin grabbed a small stack of banknotes without any emotion and put it on the yellow cloth: "Looking for the dragon point Lu Jiuyang, the left side door counts Ding Liujiu, this Yungui area, dare to leak the heavenly fortune in exchange for reward, and the one who combines the retribution of the Heavenly Dao, only Mr. Ding has the guts." “
Although my cousin's words were plain, I could hear several layers of meaning in them, and I don't know whether he admired or was sarcastic about the strange man in front of him.
"Ding Liujiu, what a strange name."
When I was still thinking nonsense, Ding Liujiu's blindness suddenly moved to my body again, and the hoarse voice like charcoal burning sounded again: "My eye, blind a jiazi, the living thing is gone, but the yin thing can be seen clearly, little brother, you are full of yin qi, I am afraid that you live in a ghost nest." “
As soon as I heard this, I was dumbfounded, and I was about to speak subconsciously, but my cousin suddenly stopped me and signaled me not to interject.
The cousin took out a small stack of banknotes from the black cloth bag again and put it on top of the yellow cloth: "Go on." “
"Can the young man tell the old man your birthday?"
I was stunned for a moment, and before I could answer, my cousin had already answered for me and told Ding Liujiu about my birthday.
After hearing this, Na Ding Liujiu began to pinch his fingers to calculate, and after about ten seconds, his tone also became a little weird, and he could even vaguely hear a very strong surprise: "The young man is nineteen this year, and he was actually born when he was born in the sun and the moon in the yang year, and he was born with a unicorn, and he will be twenty in just two days." ”
"Born a unicorn?" I looked at Ding Liujiu opposite me with some confusion, and then at my cousin next to me, and I didn't understand what this meant.
Ding Liujiu's next explanation really jumped me: "The unicorn is a folk Zhiyang Rui beast, the son of the Qilin, a prominent and wealthy life, if you attain the Tao, you can even achieve the name of the emperor, but the strange thing is that you are pure yang, and you should not be invaded by a hundred ghosts, and the blood of the Zhiyang Qilin is born to defeat evil ghosts, but now it is full of yin qi, black gas capped, and on your twentieth birthday, it is your death day." “
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, standing there and not knowing what to do, while my cousin took out a large stack of banknotes and put it over: "Can you solve it?" “
This time, Ding Liujiu didn't pick up the banknote as soon as he did the previous two times, but said slowly: "You came to me today, didn't you already come with the answer?" “
"Okay."
My cousin answered, and then asked me to take out the limelight gold hairpin, and send it to the yellow cloth with this limelight gold hairpin, as well as two other thick plates of banknotes.
Now, in addition to the two small stacks of banknotes before, the remaining three stacks are almost 30,000, and Ding Liujiu took out five copper coins from his body at this time and threw them on the piece of yellow cloth, and the crested golden hairpin.
For the next a long time, Ding Liujiu has been fiddling with those copper coins, although I can't see his face, but I can feel his nervousness and seriousness, and finally, I saw a very magical scene, five copper coins, actually miraculously stood up at the same time.
Seeing this, Ding Liujiu breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had calculated something, and just as he was about to open his mouth to tell us the answer, an even more incredible scene happened.
The crested hairpin that had been lying in the middle of those copper coins suddenly stood upright, and the moment it stood up, the other copper coins immediately lay on the ground as if they sensed something.
