Chapter Ninety-Four: Board the Boat and Go to the Ghost Market
Henan was known as Zhongzhou in ancient times, with a long history, and the folk customs are the most intense, and you can smell the New Year as soon as you enter the wax moon. After Sun Yan came to Zhengzhou, he didn't even feel bored eating and shopping, and before he passed this novelty, Gu Bo and Shen Nanjing had already arrived one after another.
On this day, Sun Yan received a package, he knew that it was sent by Zhou Jie, and after opening it, there was only a small cloth bag folded in a boxy box. Zhou Jie had already told him several times, telling him not to open it for a look, but to take it to the ghost market, and then open it when there was no way out.
Sun Yan didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, but since she agreed, she sewed it on the inside of her trousers properly, and she didn't even touch it.
On the appointed day, all the surgeons who had obtained the qualifications to enter the ghost market from all over the country arrived, and the Mingyue Shuangjiao of the Zhu family led the team to the place where the ghost market opened - Bohai.
Since he was at sea, he was definitely going to take a boat, but before he entered the ghost market, Sun Yan had already clearly felt the difference in the atmosphere. The four wings of the east, south, west, and north led by the four major families boarded the cruise ship in unison, and each compartment was divided, but they were never allowed to contact each other. Eat and enjoy the view...... All activities are carried out in separate batches, which is completely militarized.
Sun Yan checked carefully, and there were not only heavily loaded guards on the ship, but also more than a dozen practitioners who had built the foundation of the Great Perfection and two Jindan warlocks.
Because of the relationship between Zhu Yueyuan, the Zhu family took good care of Sun Yan, and he lived in a cabin with Shen Nanjing, Gu Bo and Wang Rui's youngest grandson Wang Qi.
Wang Qi was just sixteen years old, and he had not yet built a foundation, and he seemed to be a taciturn child, but he had a good conversation with Sun Yan. His father was Wang Tianfu's younger brother, Wang Tianxi, and he was also the most promising person in the Wang family to certify an intermediate talisman refiner.
"Come on, Brother Sun, you each smoke one." After dinner, Gu Bo simply took out a hexagram to divinate the three of them.
Sun Yan didn't pay much attention to this, and picked up one with a smile. When it was Shen Nanjing's turn, he asked Gu Bo, "Why don't you come first." ”
Gu Bo smiled: "Layman, isn't he?" The diviner does not occupy himself, how can he give it to himself. ”
He took the hexagram of the three of them and looked at it, his expression gradually became solemn, Shen Nanjing was anxious, and seeing that Gu Bo was silent for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" ”
"Brother Sun, this sign is like ......"
"How?" Shen Nanjing was more anxious than Sun Yan.
Gu Bo held the hexagram and didn't know how to explain it for a while. There is an allusion in it, which tells the story of Liu Chen and Ruan Zhaoguo who went into the mountains to collect medicine in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and met two fairies in the mountains and married them. Liu and Ruan were able to return home half a year later, not wanting that the years in the world had passed for a hundred years, and their children and grandchildren had gone through seven generations, and they did not know each other......
If this sign is unsigned according to the score, there is nothing wrong with it, but Gu Bo is practicing divination, not ordinary unsigning, just because there is no other calculator here He temporarily borrowed the hexagram to calculate.
Shen Nanjing listened to Gu Bo's story of Liu Chen's encounter with an immortal, and said with a smile: "Marrying a fairy, this is a good thing, Lao Sun, he is going to have a relationship with a fairy now." ”
Gu Bo didn't laugh when he heard this, but said to Sun Yan seriously: "Brother Sun, with all due respect, you have to be more careful in everything from now on." ”
"Oh? Why? Seeing that he said solemnly, Sun Yan asked with a smile.
"Look," Gu Bo pointed to the hexagram: "What this story tells is nothing more than leaving your hometown, saying goodbye to relatives, and meeting immortals, and all three are dead, I'm afraid you...... There will be unforeseen disasters and unwarranted disasters. ”
Sun Yan had seen Gu Bochai and knew that he had some skills. It didn't matter what was said on this sign, it made sense to explain it this way, and it made sense to explain it that way, but Gu Bo said that his ability was to find the right explanation.
Sun Yan restrained his smile and asked, "When should it be?" ”
"It's hard to say," Gu Bo shook his head, "This is the fifth sign, it should have something to do with the number five, maybe five days, maybe five months, five years......"
Shen Nanjing interjected: "That could also be fifty years, right?" By then, the old grandson will be in his seventies, and he will have enough to live. ”
"Can't!" Gu Bo glanced at him and said: "Good deeds will end in blessings, and evil deeds will end in disaster, but the period of good and bad will not exceed ten years, because ten is the end of the middle number of divination and arithmetic, and every ten will be one." ”
Shen Nanjing didn't understand much, but he still understood the blessings and misfortunes, so he said: "But the old grandson didn't do evil, how could there be a disaster?" ”
Gu Bo nodded and said: "There is a saying of 'righteous fate, order, and fate', and those who do not need to drill into the camp and bring good and evil are called righteous lives; those who do good deeds and get evil are called orders; those who do good deeds and get evil retribution are called fate." Therefore, fortune telling is to obey, avoid suffering, and be corrected. ”
Shen Nanjing, like Sun Yan, let Gu Bo speak in a foggy manner, and only said: "Just say it directly, can Lao Sun resolve this?" ”
Gu Bo sighed; "Brother Sun, this is the calamity brought about by righteousness, the cause has arisen, and it cannot be broken. However, after all, Liu Chen also has a day to return to his hometown, and what happened to him depends on Brother Sun's opportunity. Fortune and misfortune rely on each other, and the whole body is moved, brother, you must not be careless. ”
Sun Yan nodded thoughtfully, and Gu Bo admonished again: "Also, Brother Sun must keep in mind the deep meaning of Liu Chen's encounter with immortals, especially in this woman......"
Gu Bo didn't finish speaking, Sun Yan also understood what he meant, this Liu Chen was trapped in the mountains because of his relationship with women, Gu Bo reminded him to be more vigilant about women.
Sun Yan thought that Gu Bo could say so many truths from a hexagram, and it seemed that this divination arithmetic was indeed magical. He was about to speak, but the doorbell rang first, it was Zhu Yueyuan who sent someone to invite him to a meeting.
The person who came took Sun Yan all the way to the upper floor, rang the doorbell at the door of the sea-view room and nodded and left. Soon the hatch opened, and Sun Yan saw that there was only Zhu Yueyuan inside.
"Sun Yan." Zhu Yueyuan was wearing only a tulle nightdress, and happily welcomed him in.
"Yuanyuan, what's the matter at this late hour? Didn't you say you were going to have a meeting? "Sun Yan is a little strange.
Zhu Yueyuan complained: "Can't I call you if it's okay?" You don't want to see me? She has been busy with the ghost market these days, and she didn't have the opportunity to talk to Sun Yan alone until this moment, and when she saw Sun Yan's attitude, she was a little unhappy in her heart.
"That's not it," Sun Yan smiled, "Didn't I hear that there was going to be a meeting." ”
Zhu Yueyuan nodded and said, "It's going to be a meeting, but it's tomorrow morning." Sun Yan, I called you here to discuss this matter. ”
Zhu Yueyuan is indeed a serious matter in bringing Sun Yan here. Originally, in addition to the dark market players who wanted to enter the Ghost Pen Tower, the four major families also needed to send four descendants to participate in the Ghost Market Competition.
The Zhu family is participating in the competition for the first time, and they really want to stand out in the big competition, but their own strength is the weakest, and their foundation cannot be compared with the other three.
Before the Zhu family was promoted to the four major families, there was originally a Zhao family, but for some reason, the Zhao family offended the hidden Zhao family of the same sect and lost the protection of the hidden Zhao family. In this way, the Zhao family, which had been rampant in the north for countless years, was soon squeezed out of the four great families by the other three.
This happened when the Zhu family and the Liu family had just destroyed the corpse gate and were in the limelight, so the hidden Zhao family secretly contacted the Zhu family, and pushed out the Zhu family before other forces carved up the north, replacing the interests of the original Zhao family.
The Zhu and Liu families also merged at this time, with the Zhu family as the mainstay, and the Liu family moved to the northeast for development. Don't look at the Zhu family becoming one of the four major families overnight, the scenery is infinite, but they are different from the hidden Zhao family's exercises, and they have no origin, but they are just tools to collect money for the hidden Zhao family.
"Then you know this, why do you still have to work for that hidden Zhao family?" After listening to Zhu Yueyuan finish talking about the past, Sun Yan couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Yueyuan sighed and said: "My brother said that this is forced by the situation, at that time the corpse gate was just destroyed, if you don't grasp this opportunity, then the Zhu family and the Liu family will not merge, but it is possible that Mr. will fight among themselves, consume each other, and then be swallowed up by other forces." ”
"Sun Yan," Zhu Yueyuan continued: "I called you here to ask you to do us a favor, this time the ghost market Dabi was originally attended by me and my brother, as well as the Liu Qi and Liu Min brothers of the Liu family, but Liu Qi was suddenly bedridden last month and couldn't compete. When I met the contestants from other families today, I realized that our alternates had no chance of winning at all, so I thought of asking you for help. ”
Sun Yan said strangely: "Didn't you say that you have to be a descendant to participate?" "He doesn't believe that this kind of game can still find a Gunners.
"Yes," Zhu Yueyuan whispered with a red face, "But the marriage partner of the descendants is also possible." ”
"Huh?" Sun Yan didn't understand what she meant.
"Oh," Zhu Yueyuan said so bluntly that he didn't understand, "that's it...... If you want to be my husband. ”
"Huh?" Sun Yan was shocked, "What are you kidding?" ”
Zhu Yueyuan was stung by his words, and the flush on his face disappeared at that time, and he said calmly: "It's just pretending, I don't really want you to marry me." Don't worry, the other clans won't think about how high your cultivation can be as a young person with no background at all, so they should agree to your participation at tomorrow's meeting. As long as you can win a game, the Zhujia family will give you a generous reward. ”
Sun Yan hesitated. He felt that Zhu Yueyuan was close to him and didn't hide any secrets from him, if he didn't help with this, it would be a little uninteresting. can pretend to be someone's son-in-law......
"Sun Yan......" Zhu Yueyuan bit his lip and said softly: "If you feel that you are at a loss, then ...... You can stay here tonight. ”
"Beauty tricks?" Sun Yan's first reaction in his heart was that he swept it with his divine thoughts again, and it was still the same as the information he got last time, Zhu Yueyuan is a virgin body, so how can it ......
Sun Yan felt that this competition must be very important to Zhu Yueyuan, so what did it matter if he pretended for his friends? Li Jinnan wouldn't know anyway.
Thinking of this, Sun Yan said: "I don't mean Yuanyuan like that, I promise you." ”
Zhu Yueyuan thought that Sun Yan agreed to help because of the conditions she proposed, although she was disappointed, she said secretly: "I even gave him my heart, why do I care about my body." He locked the door without saying a word and took off his nightdress.
