Chapter 51 Transactions
This is a very old style stone bridge, made of bluestone, is a stone arch bridge, the general shape is very similar to Zhaozhou Bridge, but more than Zhaozhou Bridge, the bridge body is about 300 meters long, there are ten meters wide, on the stone railings on both sides, carved with hideous and ugly monsters, under the bridge is a gloomy and lonely, there is a layer of fog floating on the surface.
I couldn't see what was on the other side of the bridge, the hazy and hazy was also shrouded in a layer of fog, and the sight couldn't penetrate at all, there were already more than 20 people setting up stalls on the bridge, but I don't know why, Wang Xiaobai felt that there were definitely more than 20 people nearby, Wang Xiaobai couldn't help but chant the spell softly and opened his eyes.
As soon as the yin eyes opened, the whole world changed in an instant, the yin market became smart, and the monsters squatting on the stone railing seemed to be alive, patrolling the four directions with strange eyes with hideous faces, and on the bridge deck, all kinds of people, no, can't be said to be people, all kinds of ghosts swayed back and forth.
There are those who wear Qing Dynasty costumes, some who wear Ming Dynasty costumes, those who are in the Republic of China, and those who are in the fifties and sixties...... They are all wandering on the bridge at a slight distance from each other, as if they have entered a large film and television base, the difference is that the film and television base are all living people, and the ghosts on the bridge are all living ghosts......
"Xiaobai, no matter what happens, don't go to the other side of the river, there is a small underworld, it does not belong to the underworld, but it is not a place where the living can go, follow me, don't make a fuss and look like you have never seen the world!"
Wang Laodao whispered, Wang Xiaobai nodded, and honestly followed behind Wang Laodao, but also a little scared, after all, there are many old ghosts on the bridge surface, and each one looks very bad, Wang Xiaobai has been cultivating for three years, and he is no longer a rookie, knowing that the cleaner the old ghost, the more powerful, and the one who died very quietly went to Huangquan Road, and these of those of that dynasty on the bridge are there, and they look quite decent, then it is amazing, they are commonly known as old ghosts.
Animal cultivation is for adults, always to transform the human body, the same is true of old ghosts, the longer they die, the more they want to make themselves look like a normal person, no matter how they die, they will transform themselves cleanly, and converge the yin qi on their bodies, if these old ghosts do not converge the yin qi on their bodies, they can freeze people to death on the bridge.
Wang Xiaobai is not the kind of arrogant character, of course he didn't dare to move around, and carefully followed Wang Laodao onto the stone bridge, but he couldn't help but be curious, Wang Laodao didn't dare to ask what he wanted to buy in this place, stared around, and soon his attention shifted, because Wang Xiaobai found that there were special rules on the bridge deck.
There is definitely no city management in the yin market, but the people who set up stalls on the bridge are selling things under the stone carved monsters on each railing, without exception, what makes Wang Xiaobai even more surprised is that the number of people who set up stalls on the bridge gradually increased, but it was very orderly, even the cloth on the ground was only three colors, one was yellow, one was white, one was black, the square size was the same, and the swing was also aligned with the gap on the bridge deck.
"Master, can you tell me about it?" Wang Xiaobai asked cautiously, he felt that he was a dirt bun, while opening his eyes, he didn't understand anything, Wang Laodao hummed, and whispered: "It's people who put yellow cloth, they are all people with some real skills, it's old ghosts who put black cloth, and it's spirits who put white cloth." ”
Speaking of this, Wang Laodao suddenly stopped, stood in front of a yellow cloth stall and did not leave, Wang Xiaobai followed to see, and saw that the stall was an old man in his fifties, who looked old and dizzy, without any energy, and the wrinkles on his face were like orange peels, and he looked like an old man with a story.
There are a few stacks of yellow paper, a few boxes of incense, and a few bamboo boards on the old man's stall, and there is nothing else, which will make the whole bridge surface already very lively, but it is very quiet, no one shouts loudly, and no one speaks loudly, and the silence makes people feel scared.
The people who came to Yin City didn't seem to dare to speak loudly, and Wang Laodao asked the old man in a low voice: "Master, this is the bamboo paper of the Zhou family, are you the heir of the Zhou family?" ”
The old man's slightly closed eyes opened, looked at Wang Laodao, and whispered: "Here is a person who knows the goods, I am the thirty-second generation of the Zhou family's bamboo paper, the yellow paper on the stall, with the bamboo in the three friends of the year, planted in the Qingming Dynasty, three years later, when the Qingming Dynasty, cut off the roots up three feet three inches three, invade a hundred days, kill a hundred days, cook lightly for a hundred days, worship the gods of heaven and earth, and then turn into paper when Qingming Zi, when the paper is made, a hundred ghosts howl and cry, cut into three inches and three, used to draw talismans, the most spiritual, these two stacks of yellow bamboo paper, each stack is ninety-nine, How much does the master want? ”
Wang Laodao groaned and said, "Do you want to collect yang money?" ”
Yang Qian refers to the RMB, the old man groaned, and said with a smile: "Collect, see that you are a knowledgeable person, you are cheap, five million per stack!" ”
Wang Xiaobai was stupid, it's just yellow paper, don't you need to say so much? Is it worth so much? Also five million? I couldn't help but look at the yellow paper on the stall again, the two stacks of yellow paper on the stall were very light and thin, and it could even be said to be as thin as cicada wings, which was indeed very spiritual, but it was too small, three inches and three, almost half smaller than the ordinary yellow talisman, but it was more than 50,000 when one was put together......
Wang Xiaobai didn't want to look like he had never seen the world, but the old man's asking price still made him can't help but mutter: "It's too expensive, right?" Grab money? ”
The old man smiled slightly, he didn't seem to be too lazy to talk to him, his eyes closed and he leaned back, but Wang Laodao gave Wang Xiaobai a slap on the head, although it didn't hurt, but it also warned him not to talk nonsense, Wang Xiaobai also felt that he was too talkative, and stretched out his tongue and stopped talking.
Wang Laodao ignored Wang Xiaobai, and whispered to the old man: "Master Zhou's price is very fair, the child is not sensible, let you laugh, I don't have five million yang money, but I have a gourd of Tianhe water, can I exchange a stack of yellow paper with the master?" ”
Hearing the water of the Tianhe, the old man's eyes opened suddenly, and he stared directly at Wang Laodao: "The master said that he was laughing, right?" Is it possible that you or a fairy can't do it? If you can go to Tianhe to get water, if you really want that, you still need to buy my yellow paper? ”
"Master Zhou, you are also laughing, I am just a little old man, and there is no hope of becoming an immortal in this life, but it is not an exaggeration to say that this water is the water of the Tianhe River, Master Zhou should know that the first rain of the year, if it is not in the Qingming season, it will be guided by the water of the Tianhe River, and the nectar in the world will be used as a guide to descend on the earth, and the water in my gourd is the water of the Tianhe River.
"And I have to calculate where the first rain will fall, and to the top of the highest mountain to receive the rain, the rain falls before thirty seconds for the Tianhe water, thirty seconds after the yin and yang water, I can only take thirty seconds, after this period of time, mixed with yin and yang water, are not in the Tianhe water, and can only be used to use the gourd planted in the frontier land, can maintain the aura, gold, silver, copper and iron, wooden basins, all of them, after thirty seconds to close, do not hide from Master Zhou said, I in this gourd of Tianhe water, it took me ten years of hard work!"
Wang Xiaobai listened stupidly again, although he tried his best to pretend to have seen the world, but he really had never seen the world, Wang Laodao's words once again subverted his outlook on life, there are so many things to say next rain? …… If it is really like what Master said, then the water in this gourd is really precious enough, think about it, how eloquent is the gourd? It is estimated that you can catch one drop at a time, and in thirty seconds, how much rain can you catch? It had to be done thirty seconds before, and it was just, it was too much work.
And this is not only a laborious thing, but also the ability to deduce the day of Qingming, where will it rain, and find the highest mountaintop, how fast the action must be, how ruthless the hands and eyes must be, in order to use the gourd to receive a little rain? But is this really Tianhe water? And what's the use?
Wang Xiaobai felt that he was a mallet, honestly like a quail, and he didn't need to say a word more, Master Zhou listened to Wang Laodao, and said in surprise: "Can I see the Tianhe water in your gourd?" ”
"This is nature, Master Zhou, please see!" Wang Laodao carefully took out a small gourd from his backpack, with mysterious symbols painted on it, Master Zhou carefully took it, and gently pulled out the gourd stopper, Wang Xiaobai immediately smelled a fragrance, very light, similar to the aroma of wine, but very elegant, after smelling, the whole person was a lot more energetic.
Those who can come to the Yin City are connoisseurs, the aroma dispersed, immediately attracted the attention of many people, all looked at this side, Master Zhou hurriedly stuffed the gourd, he is also an expert, recognized this is a good thing, spirited, whispered to Wang Laodao, said: "It's a good thing, however, it's not enough, I smell that you have five hundred years of rhino horn incense, plus a piece of rhino horn, let's make a deal!" ”
Dog nose? You can also smell the scent of rhino horn on Master's body! Wang Xiaobai was quite speechless, and Wang Laodao groaned: "Achievement should be made to you as a friend!" After speaking, he took out a small piece from his backpack, and handed it to Master Zhou a black thing the size of a fingernail.
Master Zhou was quite satisfied, personally divided the two stacks of yellow paper into two small packets and wrapped them, handed them to Wang Laodao, the two tacitly hugged each other's fists, Wang Laodao turned around and left with Wang Xiaobai, and when he was far away, Wang Xiaobai saw that there was no one around, and there were no ghosts, so he asked in a low voice: 'Master, there are several gourds in your backpack, are they really all Tianhe water?' ’
"Shhhh Stinky boy, don't take the master's old bottom out, of course it's Tianhe water, Master Zhou is a knowledgeable person, if it weren't for Tianhe water, it wouldn't be a deal, but your master and I are smarter, when we receive water, we use a gourd scoop, one in each hand, after collecting the rainwater, together, isn't it a gourd? Seal it with a yellow charm, it's the same......"
Wang Xiaobai was dumbfounded, this ...... Is that okay?
