In the early morning of the next day, before the second master woke up, he was woken up by the noisy crowd outside the streets and alleys of Changsha City.

The second master pushed open a crack in the door, and saw that the street full of college students outside was ecstatic and rushed to tell each other, shouting: "Long live the people's government!" ”

The newspaper in the newspaper boy's hand was only taken out, and it was sold out in a while, and even the door of the newsstand was crowded with people, and those who did not buy the newspaper leaned over and pasted it on the faces of others, and no one was angry.

The second master quietly closed the door, he knew that the Kuomintang was probably really finished.

Compared with this matter, the second master is more worried about going to the antique street to see what price others will give this hairpin.

After arriving at the antique street, the second master found that except for him, there were few people on the antique street, and the whole street was deserted, not to mention the people who bought things.

Seeing the second master passing, the colleague who had drunk together a while ago pulled him and said with a proud face: "What, brother, my brother has already said that we want to be liberated peacefully!" The news in my brother's mouth is quite reliable, right? Now it's okay, the national government has fallen, your employer is gone, presumably the errand is also yellow, and there is naturally no place to ask for thirty silver dollars, but you have a fixed amount of three silver dollars, and you will not suffer a loss inside and outside. What's the deal with always hanging a bitter gourd face? ”

The second master opened his mouth and wanted to refute two sentences, but the words came to his mouth, but he swallowed them again. Those who do this line of work pay attention to auspiciousness, and they don't find good things, and even their employers are also arrested, although the goods are a military commander spy, but if you say it, it will not affect your reputation!

The second master took the friend into the teahouse happily, his mind was full of this hairpin, and he didn't have the heart to chat, so he just knocked some melon seeds casually, drank two cups of tea without a match, and left.

And so another day passed.

August 5, 1949, the tenth day of the seventh lunar month.

This afternoon, the second master, who couldn't bear it in his heart, went out again, and wanted to take this hairpin to let those peers palm his eyes, but when he went out, the second master was completely frightened by the scene in front of him.

The second master has been a soldier, so what kind of troops can fight and what kind of troops can't fight, the second master can still tell the difference, look at the spirit of these soldiers, and then think about himself at that time, the second master thought in his heart, Lao Jiang will not lose if he loses!

Finally arrived at the place, met people, said the intention, the colleague took the hairpin, looked at it, only laughed twice, but did not speak.

The second master understands what this means, since ancient times, he has not been disappointed, found a tavern that is still open, got two cheap dishes, drank two sips of wine, and the mouth of the peer came alive: "This hairpin is in good condition, but it is not famous!" Besides, the sky above our heads is about to change, and those nobles who can afford to pay high prices are busy with the current situation, who has the time to buy you! Listen to my brother, if you are in a hurry to use the money, give it to me cheaply! ”

The second master made a difficulty, but he scolded in his heart, mother, I have money in my hand, and I still rub my wine and drink according to the law, what a thing.

Although there is some reluctance, but there is such a thing as human affection, refusal, and it will be difficult to communicate again in the future!

When he was worried, an old Taoist priest came around the table, dressed in tatters, holding a big wine gourd in his hand, and unceremoniously drank the wine in the second master's bowl and squirted it out, with a face full of disgust.

The second master was angry: "I said, you stinky and want food, and you don't think the wine is good?" ”

The old Taoist priest carrying the wine gourd squinted his eyes and looked directly at the hairpin: "This is a great thing!" ”

The second master's eyelids jumped, and before he could speak, his peer was in a hurry, and he threw up his hand and was about to tear the old man: "Hey, you stinky guy who wants food, don't you owe a beating?" ”

The second master saw that the old Taoist priest didn't move much, but his companion fell to the ground, full of surprise.

The old Taoist priest burped and said with a smile: "The things in this Xuanmen circle, in the world, naturally do not have a good price, if you want to sell them at a high price, I will show you a place to go!" Keep as much as you want, as much as you want! ”

The second master heard the words of Xuanmen again, and asked in surprise: "Really?" If there is this, I will benefit you afterwards! ”

Lao Dao leaned over and whispered only two words in the second master's ear: "Ghost City!" ”

The second master's companion on the ground got up and scolded: "Crazy! Lunatic! Look at Lao Tzu and don't teach you! "Say, raise your hand to fight!

The old Taoist priest opened his red eyelids, glanced at this peer, and the raised hand suddenly froze, and even his momentum was reduced by half, and after a while, the peer said inwardly: "Lao Tzu is not like a madman!" ”

After saying that, he stopped drinking the wine, turned around and left.

The old Taoist priest squinted his eyes again, pointed at the second master and said to the guy in the tavern: "Take the best wine and put it on his account!" ”

The second master wanted to ask again, but the old man just drank with a smile, and when he drank too much, he drunkenly said some nonsense about life and death numerology, which was really like crazy.

Afterwards, the second master inquired for a long time, and he didn't know where the ghost market was! The second master thought that he had been deceived again!

It wasn't until many years later that the second master gradually gained some fame.

This fame is due to the fact that he helped his employer go to the tomb during the period, and he just made a robbery hole, and before he went down, a monster covered with black hair and blue-faced fangs came out of the hole, and when the monster bit the neck of the second master, it was easily smoothed by the corpse pattern on the second master's body. The frightened employer, after reacting, bowed his head with his wet pants, and called the second master a living immortal, with a King Kong incorruptible body, and the zongzi couldn't help it!

After the news of this matter spread, the second master was recruited by a powerful general leader!

The status of a person is high, and the things they come into contact with will naturally be different.

At this time, the second master learned from his mouth that the crazy Taoist priest did not lie to himself, and this ghost market turned out to be real!

As for the hairpin at the bottom of the box, it was also re-turned out by the second master, he is an ambitious man, unwilling to be hired for the rest of his life, if it is really as the crazy old man said, take this hairpin for some money back, and then recruit some people by himself, do some business, wouldn't it be better?

It turns out that the second master didn't have a dream!

The person who bought this hairpin was a man covered in a black robe, but people dressed in this kind of dress are not uncommon in the ghost market, and the second master is not too curious.

When it came to the price, the second master's heart was about to jump out of his throat, and the man said that the price was whatever he wanted, but there was a condition attached!

Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts, and the second master didn't think about what that condition was, so he gritted his teeth and said to the black-robed man: "I only need gold!" Everything else is easy to do! ”

The second master was fed up with the depreciation of coins, so he only recognized gold and silver!

The black-robed man chuckled, took out a long rectangular thing from his body, shook it in front of the second master, and threw it into the second master's arms: "Big yellow croaker, fifty!" But I want you to go to the grave again! ”

The second master's eyes were red.

The black-robed man handed the second master a bowl-sized wine jar, on the wine jar, a very treacherous painting of a soul flag, the mouth of the altar was firmly plugged with dark red cloth, the man said: "Enter the tomb, the yellow sand buries the coffin, the yellow sand is removed, there is a nine-star soul sealing array under it, where the coffin is located, it is the eye of the array!" I want you to split the coffin, sprinkle the ashes of the locust wood on it, and pour the blood of the snake on it, and then, whatever appears below, you can simply pull out the lipstick cloth of this altar! ”

The black-robed man took the hairpin and told the second master: "In a month, if you are still alive, come here to find me, and the money will be cleared!" ”

The second master should go down.

After the second master left, the black-robed man looked at the hosta carefully, and muttered to himself, with an unclear tone: "If the soul of the Yin Maiden for a hundred years appears, you guys who have been hidden for hundreds of years should also show their original form, right?" I don't know, can this yin female soul lead you to show up in the ghost market! ”

。

The gold bar in his arms, the second master was reluctant to let go when he was hot.

However, there are some things that he can't do alone, so the second master can only find those peers he knew before, and he can't bear it, and promise them this big yellow croaker as a reward!

At this time, the second master, the reputation of inviolability has long been spread, plus there is gold, and there is gold, and these people are naturally willing to exert their strength, and they are extremely attentive.

It took a few days, and the second master took people to buy bamboo baskets, axes, shovels, and other tools, and burned the old locust tree into charcoal ash, and burned a full sack.

When everything was in order, the second master went to the tomb again.

This time, to be honest, the second master didn't care a little in his heart, after all, he had already been to the tomb a long time ago!

Even the hole he dug earlier is still there, but it's covered with dead grass!

The hole was dug bigger, and the second master beckoned a few people to carry out the yellow sand little by little with a back basket, and when the yellow sand was cleaned, it was already the middle of the moon.

After eating, resting for a while, the second master held the jar given by the black-robed man, and took the lead in getting in, under the yellow sand, there was a layer of stone slabs, and simply drew a chariot with a green curtain with lines, among the green mantle, a woman in purple with a cold expression sat in it, the only thing that made the second master feel strange was that the people accompanying the side of the chariot were actually some strange-looking ghosts, and the second master had some hair in his heart.

The second master had the courage to let people use an axe to smash the wooden board at the bottom of the coffin, and the moment it was split, there was a beam of moonlight like mutton fat jade penetrating the top of the tomb, and it was falling into the coffin impartially.

It's been cold like never before.

The second master saw that the faces of the colleagues who came with him were frightened, and there was white frost on the eyebrows, and then he remembered the locust wood ash and snake blood in a panic, and sprinkled it on it according to the black-robed man's explanation, and the second master seemed to hear some sound of cracking.

It was the slate that cracked.

The snake's blood spread little by little along those strange lines, and finally, the people on the paintings, the ghosts on the paintings, gradually fleshed out, and became more and more hideous, until the stone slab shattered, and an arm with black nails stretched out of it.

Seeing that the companion who came with him was dragged down by the blue and black palm, the second master could only open his mouth, but he couldn't make the slightest sound.

With a sharp pain in his arm and a buzzing brain, the second master lowered his head and was horrified to find that on his arm, two black tooth holes were bubbling out with ink-like blood stains.

The second master couldn't figure out why the corpse pattern on his body didn't work this time, but the wound was soon a little numb, even with numbness, as well as his own consciousness, at the last moment, the second master vaguely saw that in the coffin, a half-phantom girl in a purple skirt sat up, the second master thought, this should be the best girl he has ever seen in his life, but ah, those eyes, but the cold made the second master afraid, this fear, let the second master keep the last sobriety, pulled out the red cloth at the mouth of the altar, all the cold under the tomb, It seems to have been absorbed by this jar cleanly. The body regained some strength, and the second master stumbled and ran out like a fly with the jar in his arms.

But the brain is getting more and more chaotic, the wound on his arm is like a bottomless pit, constantly draining the strength of his body, and in the end, the second master only feels that his chest is like an alveoli that has been punctured, no matter how he breathes heavily, the huge feeling of suffocation still makes his eyes black over and over again.

Until he saw a broken shed that had been erected on the wasteland not far away, the second master struggled with his last strength and collapsed on the edge of the shed, scratching the shed with his fingers weakly, making a stabbing sound.

When he saw someone coming out of the shed, the second master seemed to grasp the last straw and begged the man to help him find some glutinous rice and wormwood to save his life......
