Chapter 164: Ghost Tour Guide
I was also a newcomer to this place, and under the influence of curiosity, I walked around and walked around the yin market.
The yin market is very different from the yang market, because of the strong yin qi, the flowers and plants around are withered, and the ground is more like a hundred years of drought, full of cracks, without a trace of water.
The whole sky was also dull, covered with a thick layer of black clouds, that is, no stars could be seen, and the moon could not be seen, giving people an unusually oppressive feeling.
On both sides of the street, ghost dealers set up their stalls out of white human bones, each lit with a dark candle for lighting.
The light from the candle is not a normal red, but a faint green color with gray light.
This is a "yin candle", also called a dark lamp, which is made of corpse oil dripping from the bottom of the coffin, and the lamp is made from the head of a dead corpse.
Through the faint light of the wax, I can also see what the goods of the ghost dealer are.
They have paper carts and paper horses, colorful paper clothes, and yin wine soaked in willow leaves.
Even now, there is a ghost dealer selling bloody human limbs.
This made me pay special attention to it, this ghost merchant has a full face and blue skin, and he is suddenly a blue-faced ghost.
It has a thick knife in its left hand and a saw in its right hand, squeaking and cutting the limbs on the stall, and shouting in its mouth: "Human flesh, fresh human flesh, just died, only 3 catties of paper money for one arm." ”
When the ghost guests passing by heard the shouting, a few of them immediately stepped forward, played with the bloody stumps with their hands, and asked the blue-faced ghost in a chattering voice.
"When did you die, a man or a woman? I like to eat women with delicate skin. ”
"How old was the deceased? If you're old, the meat is too old to gnaw on. ”
"What's wrong with the heart, liver, spleen and lungs? I just bought a pot of willow leaf wine, and I just happened to buy another pair of livers to go back to drink. ”
"Cheaper, bring me a thigh, I'll go back and steam the human meat buns."
…………
Rao is a Taoist priest, but when I saw this scene, I couldn't help but feel creepy.
I looked at the bloodstained limbs and the intestines that flowed all over the ground, and quickly endured the tumbling in my stomach, and my steps quickened, and I left this bloody place.
"Brother Tai walks slowly, can you take a step to speak?"
As I was walking, a voice rang in my ears, and then a thin ghost with a sharp beak appeared in front of me and blocked the way.
As soon as this skinny ghost appeared, he stared at me vigorously, and his eyes flickered, which immediately made me feel relieved.
You know,Most of the things like ghosts don't have too high IQ.,The ghost in front of you knows at a glance that it's a person with an active mind.,It's very rare to see a shrewd ghost like this.,After encountering it.,You have to be more careful.。
I frowned slightly, and asked in an unkind tone, "What do you mean by blocking my way?" Do we know each other? ”
"In Xia Wang Mazi, born during the Qing Dynasty, it is also the first time I have seen you." The thin ghost immediately smiled all over his face and said with his fists clenched.
My face sank and I said, "Since you and I have never known each other, why are you blocking my way?" Hurry up and go away, or you're welcome. ”
"Brother Tai is angry, please listen to the next word." The thin ghost hurriedly said: "I've been paying attention to my brother's platform for a long time, watching your every move, it must be the first time to come to "Wazigang" after death, right?" This Wazigang is the largest yin market in the area of the Great Black Mountain, you first came to your place, you must be unfamiliar with the shops and environment here, and after the death has been living here, you know everything about the grass and trees in this place, if you want to go to where or do something, with my help to lead the way, it will definitely save a lot of trouble, and hire me, only need 8 catties and 6 taels of paper money. ”
After explaining his intentions, Wang Mazi rubbed his hands and looked at me with a look of hope on his face.
After listening to its explanation, I was relieved, and then I laughed dumbly, I never expected that ghosts would also keep up with the trend of the times and give rise to the ghost tour guide industry.
"Wang Mazi, right?" I smiled slightly: "If you want me to hire you, you can do it, but you have to help me find someone, someone from the yang world, if you can do this, I will give double the price, how about it?" ”
"Brother Tai laughed, this is a yin market, how can people from the yang world come here." Wang Mazi looked incredulous.
I shook my head and said, "Ordinary people may not be able to come here, but Taoist priests are different. ”
"Taoist!" Wang Mazi's face changed drastically: "Brother Tai, you are confused, are you idle and your life is short?" What are you looking for a Taoist priest for, be careful of being beaten away! ”
I said in an undeniable tone: "You just have to help me find him, you don't have to worry about other things, you can't take this job or not." ”
After Wang Mazi heard this, his face began to become cloudy.
Also, let it be a little ghost to find a Taoist priest, it is really difficult for it, the ghost is too late for the Taoist priest to dodge, how can he have the courage to take the initiative to find the other party.
However, when Wang Mazi saw me take out a large stack of dark coins from the bag, he gritted his teeth and said, "Deal!" Just do what my brother said, and I will definitely try my best to find that Taoist priest. ”
I nodded, told him about Zhang Tianshi's appearance and dress, told him to pay more attention, and then said, "Now you can take me around, is there anything interesting here?" You know, I'm here for the first time, and I want to see it. ”
"Absolutely." Wang Mazi stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction and said: "There is a square five miles ahead, today is just in time for the 100th birthday of the gray old lady, please sing a big opera, there are the most people there, but it is lively, we can go there to have a look, and inquire by the way, maybe we can find the whereabouts of the Taoist priest." ”
"Good! Lead the way. ”
"Brother, please come with me."
After following Wang Mazi for about a cup of tea, I suddenly appeared in front of me a sea of people, colorful flags fluttering, as if there was a grand event, there were Yangge twisting, dragon and lion dances, singing big operas, noisy voices, lively and extraordinary.
Not far away, on a large open space, a stage was erected, on which several people were wearing ancient costumes and babbling and singing a big opera.
There are more than a dozen palm gongs sitting behind the stage, and the musicians who play the drum and the nail, are playing and singing, and the people under the stage are surging, clapping and applauding from time to time, and a crowd is boiling.
In the middle of the night, in the Yin Market of Nuoda, it is particularly lively.
"Brother, the one sitting in front of you is the gray old lady." Wang Mazi stretched out his hand and pointed to an old woman under the stage and said to me.
I looked in the direction it was pointing, and there was a long antique table under the stage, which was full of gold pots and jade cups, and a blue and white plate full of melons and fruits.
There were eight other chairs in front of the table, and in the center sat an old lady with white hair, hunched up, like a hill, with a wrinkled face.
