Chapter 176:
I asked Xu Fu what happened to the train at midnight, which was so serious that it was about to stop?
"In the past week, as many as dozens of people reacted to the train station, there will be a phantom on the train at midnight, which can directly pass through the body of a person, suspected to be a ghost, although it did not cause much harm to people, but it still caused a certain degree of panic, some passengers take this train, they will burn incense and paper money on the train, the impact is particularly bad, and it is the Spring Festival time, in order to avoid accidents, the train is suspended, and it should be put back into use after the year." Xu Fu said.
When the train passed through Qixia Station, it was indeed unstable, but there were frequent ghosts, which should not have appeared before, so I asked, "Have you checked the origin of these ghosts?" ”
"According to my investigation, the ghosts that appeared above should be the residents of Luofeng Town, the predecessor of Qixia Station, decades ago, in the fifties and sixties."
Xu Fu's words surprised me: "The souls of the last residents of Luofeng Town were trapped in the space where the old man was, and they couldn't get on that train for so many years, and they suddenly appeared one after another recently, and it should be the old man who released them." ”
Xu Fu was puzzled: "I haven't released it for so many years, why did I release it at this time?" ”
Everyone fell into deep thought, and after a while, Hu Qichen spoke first: "According to my train of thought, the old man used to not let go of these souls, he must have been afraid that the souls would suddenly gush out and disturb the yin and yang, and now the yin and yang are out of balance, this is the first reason why he released these souls, and the other reason is probably that he is useful in this place and can no longer keep these souls." ”
"Useful?" I wondered, "That space was originally under his control, and no matter how he wanted to use it, those ghosts couldn't interfere with him at all." ”
"Unless something happens in the space that makes him have to control the space more closely." Hu Qichen further said.
As soon as he said this, I suddenly remembered something: "I should have told you before, I broke into that space and slept in Yizhuang, and during that time, I heard a deep voice roaring, and at that time I was wondering if there was something suppressing in that space, and now that I think about it, it is very likely." ”
"That's right, otherwise what else would he be doing guarding that space alone?" Xu Fu said excitedly.
"Guess again." My eyes lit up, "What if the things suppressed in that space have something to do with the fake boss of Ghost Xiangju?" ”
The old man is the real boss of the ghost fragrance house, when the ghost fragrance house was in turmoil, he didn't go back to quell the chaos, but guarded this space, which is very incredible, and the fake boss was seriously injured in the turmoil, and he hasn't recovered for so many years, maybe it has something to do with what the old man suppressed.
"No, in this way, I have to go back to Miaojiang, I want to see the old man." Now I feel more and more that only the old man can save my grandmother and save Hu Qichen.
Hu Qichen and Xu Fu disagreed, Xu Fu said: "First of all, the train is suspended, the road signs and the big locust tree are gone, it is difficult for you to even enter that space, and besides, as soon as you move here, Miao Jiang will receive the news, what if they wait for the rabbit over there?" It's too dangerous. ”
"But I have to save my grandma!" I was in a hurry and said, "He only gave me one day, or else ......"
"Or he's going to kill us all, right?" Hu Qichen had already guessed, "Peng Peng, I don't think you need to go back to Miaojiang, do you think that the old man may allow the fake boss of Ghost Xiangju, that is, the leader of the leather painter, to do all the bad things against his reputation?" I guess he's on his way to Changbai Mountain by now. ”
Hu Qichen's tone was very firm, and Xu Fu immediately echoed: "Yes, I think the fox fairy has analyzed it very well, think about it, he released all the ghosts in that space, and eliminated the landmarks and the big locust tree, doing so, it is likely that the space is completely locked, when he himself is inside, he is confident that he can keep it, only when he wants to leave there, he needs to make a big move." ”
The three of them analyzed to the end, and became more and more sure that it was this possibility, and I couldn't help begging, if the old man was in this part of Changbai Mountain now, then we would have a glimmer of life.
"Okay, in that case, don't toss, follow me back to the snake clan, let's unite together and wait for him to attack the door." Hu Qichen put his arm around my shoulders and said.
I still can't let go of it: "But I'm afraid, if he really ......"
"No," Hu Qichen understood what I wanted to say, "his target is me, as long as he doesn't get me for a day, he won't easily touch your grandma, otherwise, what will he use to force you?" ”
"Really? There really won't be a case? "I can't afford to bet.
As if he suddenly remembered something, Xu Fu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to me: "Peng Peng, this is what the second grandmother asked me to give to you, take a look." ”
I took the letter, opened it, and found that it was a letter left to me by my grandmother, and I wrote several pages with great enthusiasm, and I read it word by word, and I was already in tears.
The letter explained a lot of things, including how to suppress the poison in Qian Mengmeng's body as much as possible, the property has been notarized to my name, and a small part was notarized to Qian Mengmeng, and some of the books she cherished most in her life were left on the witch's side......
Finally, she wrote that last month she calculated that her limit was approaching, and she also went to the witch to occupy a hexagram, and the hexagram also showed a great evil, so for this catastrophe, she regarded death as home, she is over seventy years old, and she will leave sooner or later, let us not be sad, let alone do useless struggles for a dying person, otherwise, she will not forgive my Yunyun......
"No way, grandma must have said that because she didn't want us to save her." I can't accept my grandmother's statement.
Xu Fu stood aside and said: "I know about the approaching deadline, at the beginning of last month, the second grandmother had secretly asked me to help her make a shroud, and she didn't let me tell you about it, so I kept it a secret." ”
"Why don't you say it! Why! I yelled and grabbed Xu Fu's clothes, and my whole person was a little crazy.
Grandma is the dearest and dearest person in this world, I was raised by her, in these nearly 20 years, I never thought that one day my grandmother would die, she is a mountain in my mind, can shelter me from the wind and rain, never fall.
But now I was told that the mountain was about to fall, and I was really overwhelmed for a while.
Hu Qichen pulled me away, hugged me in his arms, and didn't let me move: "Peng Peng, you calm down, birth, old age, sickness and death, this is human nature, your grandmother will leave sooner or later, you have to be mentally prepared in advance, but we will do what we should do, no one will watch her old man die alone and be indifferent, you can't collapse before you do anything, you have to cheer up." ”
It took me a while to slowly calm down: "We have to save grandma, we must save grandma." ”
"Save, will be saved, and the wicked will be brought to justice, believe me." Hu Qichen touched my head and said.
After that, he took me and Xu Fu back to the Snake Clan, after Changbai Mountain experienced that big war, the Snake Clan was on guard everywhere, Qian Mengmeng and Xinyue surrounded me to ask about my grandmother's situation, I heard that my grandmother was captured, and she was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
After dinner, I sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly mobilized the internal force in my body, and tried to run the tenth-order mental method, and sure enough, as the guy said, I was already able to control the tenth-order mental method, that is, I can now use the Yin Soldier Order to denominate souls.
Of course, this kind of soul dementoring is also related to my ability, not just any soul can be taken in, and the reason why that guy asked me to take Hu Qichen's soul is that he is sure that Hu Qichen will not resist me, otherwise with Hu Qichen's ability, I am afraid that I will not be able to take it at all.
It is impossible for me to take Hu Qichen's soul, but I can't help but think that I can try to take the soul of the thousand-year-old female corpse, control her, and many things will be easier to do.
was practicing, I heard a knock on the door, Qian Mengmeng hurriedly went to open the door, and saw Hu Shaoyang standing outside the door, Qian Mengmeng immediately wanted to close the door, but was supported by Hu Shaoyang: "Mengmeng, can you come out, I have something I want to tell you alone." ”
"I don't have anything to tell you." Qian Mengmeng refused directly.
In fact, in the past, Qian Mengmeng also knew that Hu Shaoyang was forced to do so, and her feelings for her were also true, and I had persuaded her many times, but she still refused to say more than half a word to Hu Shaoyang, and then I gradually understood that Qian Mengmeng cared about the way she was now, she was afraid that she would really become a zombie who had lost her mind, and sooner or later it would be over, so she didn't want to hurt Hu Shaoyang again.
This silly girl actually loves Hu Shaoyang deeply in her heart, and the more decisive she refuses, the deeper her love becomes.
Hu Shaoyang saw that she was resolute, and he didn't insist on letting her out, but just stuffed something into her hand: "This is what my mother left me, leave it to you as a thought." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After a while, Qian Mengmeng turned around and asked me, "Peng Peng, what do you mean by keeping it for a thought?" Does that mean you don't deal with me at all? ”
I also felt weird for a while, and I didn't think much about it, but I was more curious about what Hu Shaoyang gave Qian Mengmeng: "What did he leave for you?" ”
Qian Mengmeng came over and showed me the things in his hand, it was a small fox tail, contained in a small transparent bottle, with tassels on it, which could be hung around the waist, very beautiful.
"Hu Shaoyang said that this was left to him by his mother, could it be his mother's fox tail?" I guessed.
Qian Mengmeng frowned: "Then this thing is really precious to him, what can he do for me?" ”
I shook my head, the two of them had their own thoughts, and they were silent for a while, and the new moon lay in it and slept sweetly.
"Hey, Peng Peng, do you think Xinyue has already run out to play at this time?" Qian Mengmeng glanced at the time, it was almost ten o'clock, and asked.
I shrugged: "How do I know, she is different from ordinary people, her soul runs out to play and still gasps." ”
"Sometimes I really envy her." Qian Mengmeng cupped her cheeks and said, "It's almost ten o'clock, why hasn't Sister Liu Zhen come back to sleep, isn't the finishing matter already busy?" ”
yes, it seems to be surprisingly quiet outside tonight, how do you feel weird?
"No, Mengmeng, why do I feel like something is going to happen?" All of a sudden, I felt a little uneasy.
Qian Mengmeng immediately got out of bed: "I'll go out and have a look." ”
As soon as she reached the door, the crescent moon in the bed stretched out and got up, and immediately shouted, "They're out." ”
"Who's out there?" Qian Mengmeng and I asked at the same time.
"It's the fox fairy, the willow fairy, a group of people." Crescent Moon said, "I was late for the outing, and I didn't hear what they were going out for, but the formation was quite large. ”
Qian Mengmeng and I immediately became nervous, got dressed and ran to the front, just when Liu Zhen walked back, Liu Zhen saw us at a glance, his face was obviously panicked, and then he came up: "What are you doing running out at night without sleeping?" Go, go back to sleep. ”
"Sister Liu Zhen, Hu Qichen, where did they go and what did they do at night?" I asked directly.
Liu Zhen said that he was going back to the old house, but Qian Mengmeng didn't believe it: "It's not going back to the old house, if you simply go back to the old house, it can't be like confessing your last words." ”
"Really, I don't lie to you." Liu Zhen argued.
I have been carefully observing her expression, Liu Zhen is a straightforward personality, a girl with no heart, she is not good at lying, when she lies, her face is red, her ears are red, and her eyes are floating around, so I said: "Sister Liu Zhen, don't hide it, the reason why you want to hide it from me, I can also guess a little, are they ready to rescue my grandmother?" ”
Other things, there is no need to carry me behind my back like this, Hu Shaoyang has already come to say goodbye to Qian Mengmeng, such an important thing was sent out, it seems that this time he regards death as home.
And right now, such a serious matter, that is, Hu Qichen has thought about facing the big boss of Ghost Xiangju.
Liu Zhen didn't speak is a tacit acquiescence, I couldn't calm down anymore, I pulled my legs and ran outside, Liu Zhen caught up: "Peng Peng, they won't let you go, you can't go at all, wait here, I believe they will come back soon." ”
"Sister Liu Zhen, do you know how they are going to save my grandma? I have to exchange Hu Qichen's life, do you think I can sit idly by? "Hu Qichen has never had the heart to live for the twentieth year, he has looked down on life and death, but he doesn't want me to bear the double pain of losing him and my grandmother, so he plans to take himself to fight.
I understand his thoughts, but I don't allow such a thing to happen.
"No, don't worry, Wenting and they are all following, they have a deployment, not to die in vain." Yoo Jin tried to reassure me.
I pushed her away: "Sister Liu Zhen, don't stop me, don't let me hate you." ”
After saying that, I ran away without looking back, and Qian Mengmeng also followed, Liu Zhen had no choice but to catch up with us with Xinyue.
"Forget it, anyway, I don't feel at ease at all when I stay at home, I'll send you over, otherwise you won't be able to catch up." Liu Zhen turned into a snake body, carried us through the forest, and swam straight towards the direction of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain.
"Why the direction of Tianchi?" I asked, leaning on Ryujin's back.
Liu Zhen explained: "The ghost incense residence is located in the ghost market, and there are only four entrances to the ghost market, and there is one entrance to the Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, which opens at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night and closes at three o'clock in the morning. ”
I see.
Liu Zhen hurried and hurried, and finally caught up with Hu Qichen and them by the Tianchi, at that time they had already started to do it, and even Xu Fu was together, but he left a few of us behind.
When Hu Qichen saw me, he immediately yelled at Liu Zhen: "Didn't you ask you to watch them and not run around?" How did you get them? ”
"Yes, Sister Liu Zhen, take them back now, don't make a mess." Liu Ye also reproached.
"Sister Liu Zhen is not to blame for this, we were aware of it and persecuted her." I stepped forward and said.
Qian Mengmeng was also unconvinced: "How can we be missing such a big thing as saving grandma?" ”
"Nonsense, go back, there are demons and monsters in the ghost market, do you all think it's so peaceful like the world? We are just going to explore the truth and reality, and we will take you to restrain our hands and feet, and we can't retreat. Hu Qichen got angry and pushed me back directly.
I pursed my mouth: "Hu Qichen, if your so-called probing is false and real, you startles the other party, causing my grandmother to have an accident, and I can't even see her for the last time, I will hate you." ”
"I think you are machismo, why do you look down on us so much, who said that we will definitely hold you back?" Qian Mengmeng said angrily, then hugged Hu Shaoyang's arm and began to be coquettish, "Will you take me there?" If you don't take me there, then I really will never pay attention to you again. ”
Hu Shaoyang opened his mouth, very embarrassed, Liu Zhen said on the side: "Hurry, it's time soon, don't delay, go and go back together, everyone is at ease." ”
In the end, Xu Fu also spoke: "Just let them go, sooner or later they will see the world." ”
……
Hu Qichen dragged me, Qian Mengmeng followed Hu Shaoyang, Liu Zhen followed Liu Ye, Xinyue followed Xu Fu, one-on-one binding, after a complicated process, a huge whirlpool appeared out of thin air on the side of Tianchi, everyone jumped into the whirlpool, I only felt a whirlwind of the sky, and when my feet fell to the ground, there was a white expanse in front of me.
"There is a ghost market in front of you, enter the gate of the ghost market, don't talk to anyone, don't be surprised when you see any strange people and things, and don't leave the team without permission, be careful." Xu Fu said.
We are most familiar with the ghost market here is Xu Fu, he has been to the ghost market to do many purchases, last time he went to the ghost fragrance house to order a lot of things, today into the ghost market, but also want to take the goods from the beginning to break into the ghost fragrance house.
Walked forward for more than ten meters, I saw a tall and simple boundary monument, which was densely engraved with small characters that I could not understand, behind the boundary monument was a tall archway, there were two blood-red characters on the top of the black arched door, like two bloody teeth in the open mouth of a beast, even if you don't know, you can guess that it is the word 'ghost city'.
Behind the archway, you can see the bustling streets, row after row of shops, it feels like the pattern of the ancient town in our world, but it is bigger and more quaint but more magnificent.
"Shall we just go in together?" I couldn't help but ask, there are more than a dozen of us in this group, and the goal is a little too big to go in together, and I feel that I am always feeling the ghost Xiangju, and as soon as I come to the ghost market, he probably already knows.
Hu Qichen shook his head: "The main thing is still for Xu Fu to do, let's find a place to wait with peace of mind." ”
Xu Fu was the first to enter the ghost market, and then kept walking towards the east, while we stopped at a shop on the side of the street, divided into three or four groups, picked and chosen, and waited for Xu Fu's movement.
The ghost market is really lively, selling everything, rouge gouache, swords and runes, as well as money villages, cloth villages, white shops, etc., and the pedestrians on the street are even more strange, with long horns and long tails and three legs, but there are not many who look like people.
We are in the westernmost part, there are more than a dozen shops and small streets, and the further east we go, the more magnificent the buildings become, and the ghost fragrance house should be in the easternmost part.
Although we picked and chosen, no one was going to buy anything, and our hearts were all on Xu Fu's body, for fear that something big would suddenly happen in the east and something would happen to Xu Fu.
After waiting for more than 20 minutes, Xu Fu didn't come back, so I reached out and pinched Hu Qichen's palm, and glanced at him uneasily.
We were talking here, and there was a sudden agitation outside, and many people ran towards the east, and we caught some information from the chaotic sounds, as if someone was arrested for making trouble in the ghost incense house, and it will be announced later, and it will be executed in public, and everyone will go to see a good show.
My heart suddenly tightened: "Will it ......?"
"No, Xu Fu is not so ignorant, let's follow the crowd and take a look." Hu Qichen whispered, taking my hand and following the crowd to the west.
"Aren't all the people who come to the ghost market buying? Are you so idle and like to watch the excitement so much? I wondered.
Hu Qichen explained: "Most of the people who can come to the ghost market are cultivators, and those executed in the ghost market are many times powerful guys, once executed, the scattered ghost crystals, inner dan, and even the root bones will be robbed, and the ghost crystals and inner pills with better condition will be grabbed, and those who take them to the pawnshop to exchange for money are all there, this is extra money, who doesn't want to bargain?" ”
"So that's the case, it's really unprofitable."
The further I went, the crowd gathered and walked slower, and my heart was like a drum, for fear of seeing Xu Fu tied up and waiting for execution, but before I could see who was arrested, I saw a familiar face in the crowd.
The man was wearing a coarse linen coat and a hat, covering half of his face, but I still recognized it at once, stretched out my finger and pointed at him and called Hu Qichen: "Hu Qichen, look, that person, the one who wears the hat." ”
"Who?" Hu Qichen looked in the direction of my finger, recognized it, and was also surprised, "How could it be him?" ”
We never expected to meet the corpse refiner in the ghost market, and he actually ran out!
