It is an ancient road two or three meters wide that spreads to the end of the line of sight, and the road is lined with low houses, and in addition to some facades, there are many street stalls. What makes Xia Xue strange is that neither the shops nor the stalls have modern lighting tools such as electric lights or flashlights, but they are all hung with white lanterns. These lanterns are hung next to the stalls, and the lights are very dim, and although there are many people coming and going, it is difficult to see the faces of these people.

Xia Xue felt that there seemed to be something wrong here, but she couldn't figure out where the problem was, so she walked with her head down while thinking about her thoughts, and accidentally installed it on a stall, almost knocking down the other party's stall.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Xia Xue hurriedly apologized.

This is a stall selling clothes, the stall is not large, that is, five or six square meters in size, set up with bamboo poles, and it is hung with all kinds of colorful clothes. The stall owner was an old man of sixty or seventy years old, with thinning hair, a somewhat dark complexion, and wrinkled skin.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"

The old man waved his hand and motioned for Xia Xue to hurry up, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Mu Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled Xia Xue by his hand, dragged her to his side, and whispered: "Don't talk to others here, otherwise you will get into unnecessary trouble!" ”

Xia Xue was stunned for a moment, and instantly thought that something was wrong, since she entered this street, she had hardly heard a sound. Xia Xue also visited the night market, especially the snack night market, where there was shouting and selling everywhere, and there was also the sound of bargaining, but here was a dead silence, and there was little sound, as if the people who came and went were dumb.

When passing by a stall, Xia Xue suddenly saw a pair of very beautiful small leather shoes, red in color, with a bow tied on them, and the shoe polish was polished and shiny, even in the dim light. Because of these shoes, Xia Xue took a special look and saw a little girl squatting on the stall, seemingly fascinated by the small leather shoes.

"It's here!" Makihara said a word, and walked into a store first.

Xia Xue glanced up and saw that the banner next to the door had three big characters written on it, "Kuangruo Valley", both in font and style, exactly the same as the signboard I saw in the thrift market today.

"Makihara, you're here!" Dun Ruopu greeted him, "The teacher is waiting in the store!" ”

"Thank you!" Makihara arched his hand.

Dun Ruopu looked Mu Yuan up and down, seemed to have an understanding, smiled faintly, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how did my brother become polite!" ”

"Under the guidance of Mr. Domeng Cai, I can go to this ghost market for a while!" Makihara smiled and said, "It's also appropriate to be polite!" ”

"The teacher has already explained, just come to the shop if you need to come to the shop in the future, we always have some origins, just call me brother in the future!" Dun Ruopu turned his gaze to the other two again, and said with a smile: "Sister Ling'er and Miss Xia, please come in too!" ”

Walking into the store, Xia Xue found that this store was the Kuangruo Valley she had visited during the day, except that the façade outside had changed, the furnishings inside were almost identical, and after passing through the small courtyard, several people came to the study room for guests.

After a few words of greeting, and then sat down again, Mu Yuan opened the bag and took out the spirit coffin from it.

"Gathering Coffin!" Dun Ruopu's eyes lit up and exclaimed.

"Brother Dun really has good eyesight!" Long Ling'er smiled and said, "It's the Gathering Spirit Coffin!" ”

Cai He didn't say anything, but judging from his cautious movements, he also attached great importance to this thing, and after taking a closer look, Cai He glanced at Dun Ruopu, who hurried out, and a few minutes later, he came back with a delicate little box.

"Makihara, this is the lotus seed of the thousand-year-old water lily that you want to borrow!" Dun Ruopu carefully placed the box in front of Mu Yuan.

"I also want the old gentleman to ask the method of inducing this lotus seed!"

"It's easy!" Cai Hetou was not too much, and still looked at the coffin carefully, "Every day, use the fire to nourish the periphery for three days, and on the day of the stage, just pour it with the fire!" ”

"It's as simple as that?" Makihara couldn't believe it.

"It's as simple as that!" Cai He nodded, "The fire is the true fire of samadhi, the mind and mind are one, and after it is triggered, it can awaken its root nature." But when you're done, you'll have to send it back overnight, and if you don't plant it soon, it will wilt quickly! Once this flower grows, it will be of great use to me and to you in the future! ”

"Don't worry, old gentleman, as long as the performance is over, no matter how late it is, I will definitely send it back properly!" Mu Yuan arched his hand and was about to leave, "Time is limited, I will sit down soon, and I will come to the door another day to thank you!" ”

"Don't worry, I still have something to get you!" Cai He waved his hand.

When Dun Ruopu on the side heard this, he took out a thread-bound version of the book from his arms and handed it to Mu Yuan.

"The Thirteen Chapters of One Enlightenment?" Mu Yuan was surprised and delighted, and directly snatched the book over, and couldn't wait to look at it.

"Have you seen this book?" Cai He asked in surprise.

"One of my college teachers gave me a printed copy!" Makihara explained, "According to him, he copied it by accident when he was in the queue when he knew about it, and the original book is also a transcription!" ”

"Transcripts?" Cai He hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Where did you see that transcript?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, it should be the countryside around the capital!"

"Alas!" Cai Yiyi sighed, "It must be that time!" ”

"That time? Which time? Makihara asked curiously.

"Forget it, let's have a chance to ask your master!" Cai He shook his head, "This book is actually your ancestor's, and then passed it on to your master, and it came to my book by chance. ”

Mu Yuan still wanted to ask, but when he saw Cai He's appearance of being happy, he stopped.

When he walked out of the door, Cai He suddenly called Long Ling'er.

"Little girl, if you see the adults in the family, remember to remind you, I haven't seen you for many years, and those old things should be put down, should I let her come to me for a cup of tea and catch up on the old days!"

"Oh!" Long Ling'er smiled and nodded, but with a playful expression.

"Humph!" Cai He stomped his feet dissatisfied, "Eccentric, it's too late for her back then, it's okay to learn more things, so as not to hate less when the book is used, and the cause of the matter is difficult to know!" ”

"Why are you like her, chattering!" Long Ling'er said dissatisfiedly, "I guess it's just that there are too many words, so I nagged people and ran away, so that others took the lead!" ”

"You!" Cai He was directly choked, and his beard pouted for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

"Hehe, I know, I'll tell her when she comes to the door, it's better for you to bother her, lest I be dragged back again!" Long Ling'er smiled again, then turned around and ran out of the door.

Dun Ruopu on the side also smiled bitterly, he had been with the teacher for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen the teacher deflated in front of others, and the other party was still a little girl less than twenty years old.

When she left the store and turned back, Xia Xue saw the little girl in front of the stall again, she was still squatting beside the stall stupidly, staring intently at the pair of small red leather shoes, neither asking the price, nor leaving, and not even having the courage to touch it.

"Muyuan, let's buy it for her, it's so pitiful!" Xia Xue grabbed Mu Yuan, the little girl's clothes were very beautiful, but the materials of the clothes looked a little old.

"But we didn't bring any money!" The pastor is in a dilemma.

"I brought it!" Xia Xue saw that Mu Yuan agreed, and was about to go to the pocket.

"Our money can't be used here!" Makihara stopped.

"Can't be used?" Xia Xue was a little puzzled, and looked along Mu Yuan's line of sight, only to find that there was a bucket next to the stall, and there was a lot of paper money floating in the bucket, she was stunned for a moment, and looked at Mu Yuan in surprise, who just nodded slightly.

"This is a ghost market, and it uses money from the underworld!" Mu Yuan explained, "These stalls are all coffin shops, paper burning shops and paper color shops, and they sell things to earn the dark coin, and then use the dark money to exchange for wealth and fortune from the Yin Cao Si, so as to make money and make a fortune in the yang world!" ”

"Then let's go talk to the boss and ask him to give her the shoes, and go to the store tomorrow to give the money!"

"It's not that simple!" Mu Yuan shook his head, "Most of these stall guards are also paper people and puppets, and there are very few people like us who can come to the ghost market, they can't understand it!" ”

"What then?" Xia Xue was a little unwilling, she glanced at the little girl again, and she couldn't bear to leave.

"Why don't I go to Brother Dun and ask for some, they should have prepared a dark coin!" Long Ling'er said.

"Not necessarily, what they are doing is bartering, and it is unlucky to be contaminated with dark coins, and it hurts the heavens and the peace!" Mu Yuan hesitated for a moment, "Why don't you try it, maybe there is another way!" ”

Long Ling'er turned around and was about to return to Kuangruo Valley, when at this moment, a person walked over to him, and as soon as several people looked at each other, both sides were stunned.
