Chapter 7: The Ghost Bazaar

When I entered Mr. Zang's house, it was almost nine o'clock, and Mr. Zang was reading a book wearing reading glasses. After I went in, the nanny made tea and went back to her room, Teacher Zang took off her glasses and put down the book, and said to me, "Qi is the most important thing for a ghost seeker to learn." I was stunned for a moment, and finally understood why the talkative teacher Zang was reluctant to talk about the reason why he was angry at the table. Teacher Zang picked up the teacup and handed me a cup of tea, and I toasted each other and drank it, I suddenly felt that there was a strange taste in today's Longjing, I can't say it, but it was really weird, but I was anxious to listen to Mr. Zang's explanation, so I didn't ask more.

"Regarding qi, in fact, in addition to onmyoji and ghost seekers, there is another kind of person who is also good at observation, that is, people in the officialdom. Onmyoji looks at the qi of the soul, which is actually the ferocity of the soul and their state, whether it gathers or disperses. What is seen in the officialdom is the spirit of mortals, whether this person has the spirit of a king who faces the south and turns his back to the north, or whether he has the air of a filthy and vain servile. However, what we onmyoji look at is whether the mortal face is evil, and whether the surrounding environment can be a place of ghosts. Do you ever feel creepy at times, or sometimes a particularly strong feeling of being watched? Teacher Zang asked.

I nodded, and said that it was true that sometimes this feeling was very strong, and it was followed by a paranormal event. Teacher Zang looked at me and nodded, and said, "Then we are not mistaken, you are indeed a good material to be a ghost seeker, this is your body to observe this qi and remind you that there are ghosts here, or this person is easy to see ghosts, if we stay here more or interact with this person more, we can naturally see those things, because our life will attract them, they are also curious, and people with yin and yang make them mistakenly think that we are also about to become their partners, or the yin and other things in the underworld." As for whether we can get out of danger or not, it depends on our own luck, so at dinner, I said at the wine table that we ghost seekers rely on nothing more than three things, fate, luck, and luck. ”

I couldn't wait for Mr. Zang to continue, so I could only ask: "But I don't have yin and yang eyes, I can't see how that thing finds them, how to find them, what to find, is it just to feel it with the body, that's too slow, and when I feel that the ghost is next to us, it's too dangerous to do so." Teacher Zang replied with a slight smile: "Onmyoji doesn't have yin and yang eyes, and we are ghost seekers, we just have a keen body and a super sixth sense, as well as ghosts attracted by life." As for whether it is dangerous or not, since doing this is to like it, there is not necessarily any danger or not. In fact, the world of ghosts is the same as people, there are good people and bad people, and there are also good ghosts and bad ghosts. It can only depend on your luck, and again, our main thing is luck. I hurriedly asked, "How's my luck?" Teacher Zang reached out and beat my chest and said, "If you kid is unlucky, can I let you carry the soul?" But you're also an infatuated species. Okay, let's not talk about this, in order to make it easier for you to find ghosts in the future, you must be allowed to see a lot of ghosts at once, so that you can have more characteristics to attract ghosts in the future, and it is easier to find you to find the female ghost with tear moles. Teacher Zang paused and said, "Let's go to the ghost market tonight, do you have the guts?" I felt a little cold sweat, to be honest I didn't have much courage, but now I have to try, I replied loudly: "Dare, where to go?" ”

Teacher Zang laughed and gestured to me to go downstairs with him. A black Passat was parked in the courtyard left behind, and a man in a flat head and a suit stood outside the car smoking a cigarette, he was not tall but stocky and powerful. I was stunned for a moment and thought of the president's bodyguard or something, and I had the impression that such an image was suitable for the profession of bodyguard.

I asked Mr. Zang, "Who is this?" ”

"Little party, my driver. The small party is an old ghost, and if the small party comes to you in the future, you will know that I sent someone to find you. Let's take this opportunity to get to know you today," Zang explained.

"Hello, Brother Dang, I'm an old ghost, let's advise me more in the future." I said to the man with the surname Dang.

He bowed to me, then turned around and started the car, I wondered why he didn't even say hello to him. Teacher Zang sneered: "I forgot to tell you, Xiaodang is a dumb person." Then I also got into the car, I also followed Mr. Zang to the back seat and sat down, and when I saw the party driver in the rearview mirror smiling evilly, I understood that this was their usual trick.

After getting in the car, Mr. Zang and I explained to me how to use the Bagua Mirror, then handed it to me, and stuffed me with a string of jujube wood prayer beads carved with the Buddha's head, and asked me to pack it in a black bag, and wrapped a circle of tape around the outside and tied it to my stomach. Teacher Zang said: "This is for our self-defense, although we can't hurt the ghosts, it's okay to scare and scare them, but we must be entangled, otherwise we won't see the ghost market." ”

I'm a little uncomfortable in the car, I'm always in a trance, I think I might get a little motion sickness, but I've never got motion sickness. The car drove for a long time and came to Yunmeng Villa, which is located in the southwest of Zhengzhou. I know this is a famous cemetery in Zhengzhou, but I never understand why it is located in the southwest. I asked Mr. Zang, "Why are most of the city's cemeteries located in the southwest?" Teacher Zang was stunned for a moment and didn't expect me to ask this: "There has been such a saying since ancient times when burying dead people at the southwest gate, don't talk about this first, what I will do in a while, how you will do it." ”

When we arrived outside the gate of Yunmeng Villa, Mr. Zang got out of the car, and I opened the car door closely, which was really uncomfortable in the car. I heard Teacher Zang say, "Let's walk over, I'll look for it, I don't know where to open the market today?" I said, "Why isn't it fixed?" And you mean the ghost bazaar is not on the inside but on the outside? Teacher Zang said: "The yin qi here is heavy, so the ghost market is big, but of course it's not inside, in case someone dies and doesn't know the rules and gets into the corpse, wouldn't it be a corpse, the ghost market is outside." And I change a position every day, if it weren't for teaching you boy, I wouldn't have come to this ghost market. ”

I wondered, "Why is this ghost market also good and bad?" Teacher Zang didn't answer my question directly, but asked me: "Do you say Zhengzhou is better or Beijing?" I replied, "If we talk about urban construction and overall quality, of course, Beijing is better." Teacher Zang glared and said, "That's it." I didn't understand what this sentence meant, and looked at Teacher Zang blankly.

Teacher Zang explained impatiently: "This is the last question, go back and ask something else, otherwise I won't be able to calm down and look for it, you can also help me find it." I'll answer you first, the cemetery in Beijing has been many years, so most of the ghosts in it are modern souls, and the souls are relatively complete, and the one we came here today used to be a mass grave, and what kind of ghosts are more difficult to estimate, so don't shout when you see something, otherwise it will cause a riot of the soul, and don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes. "I just wanted to ask some more questions, but suddenly I felt a tightness in my back, and a feeling of being watched by many people came to my heart, and I couldn't help but be furious by this feeling, and I hurriedly looked at Mr. Zang only to find that he was also looking at me. I saw him clearly in his eyes and said to me, "You feel it too." I nodded in response to Mr. Zang, and then I saw Mr. Zang pointing to my feet, and I understood that it was for me to see his steps, and he first stepped on his left leg, and then put the toes of his left foot on the heel of his right foot, and slowly walked backwards with his back to him, and gestured to me in his hand one, three.

I understood that I also walked along, and after thirteen steps backwards, Mr. Zang pointed to the left again, and then made a left-turn movement, a standard military posture. I also did this movement, but my feet were bigger, so I stood behind Mr. Zang. He lowered his hand and gave me a four-step gesture, and I would have taken four steps back. Then, following the gestures, go left again, then take seventeen steps, and finally turn left again and turn nine steps back. At this time, I was already four or five small steps away from Mr. Zang, and suddenly I saw him turn his head, I subconsciously closed my eyes, I was afraid that it was not a human face that turned around.

Teacher Zang came over and patted me on the shoulder and whispered, "Open your eyes, then slowly turn your head away, don't shout." I obediently opened my eyes, and then slowly turned my head away, oh my God, is this the ghost market?

There was a street in the place where it was originally a highway, a bit like a vegetable market in our lives, there were a lot of spirits coming and going, why could I know that it was not people but spirits, because they were all gray and white, and their clothes were gray all over their bodies.

They were talking and watching like humans, and playing with the things sold on the street, and Mr. Zang led me forward, and there were more people in front of me, but it was strange that no one paid attention to us. Every time I pass by a spirit, I feel goosebumps all over my body, and hairs on my back, and my heart jumps wildly. I don't know what to sell in front of a lot of people, Mr. Zang took my arm and walked over, and then stood in the crowd, looking at the things that everyone was watching, it turned out to be a ghost beating two dogs, and those two dogs were the ghouls I saw in Gaoxi X Village, Shaanxi, the dog seemed to be frightened by the ghosts and trembled, obediently jumping and rolling. The dog trainer kept slapping the two dogs with an object that looked like a black branch.

It's an incredible ghost bazaar.
