Chapter 200: Ghost City
Chu Han and Liang Xiaoyan came downstairs, took out their mobile phones and opened the map sent by the underworld. The ghost market is a carnival of ghosts in the Midyear Festival, and those wealthy ghosts will come to the ghost market in an endless stream. Those who are not rich will also sharpen their heads and drill into them, what are they going to do?
Beggar!
Although ghosts don't need to eat, the underworld gives ghosts a holiday on the day of the Midyear Festival, no matter what you do in the underworld, you don't have to do it today. Of course, except for those who have committed the most heinous crimes, they can never let them out.
There are people in the world who ask for food, and there are ghosts in the underworld who ask for food. Of course, they don't want rice, but dark coins. Who doesn't want to buy something good in the ghost market, and if you can't keep any ghosts, you can become a nouveau riche, and happily throw out a few 100,000 and hundreds of thousands of bills.
Chu Han looked at the map and went to the ghost market in his area. The order of the underworld was sent as early as the afternoon, and the Midyear Festival was different from the past, the ghost gate was wide open, and the ghosts came out of the underworld, and it was really a hundred ghosts walking at night in the world, and the living should not be approached.
Although most ghosts will obey the rules of the underworld and will not harass the living, there is no guarantee that there will be demons who do not obey the rules and secretly harass the living, or even kill the living.
The prefecture ordered all ghosts in the area to go to the ghost market to stand by, first, to maintain order in the ghost market, and second, to prevent humans from entering the ghost market by mistake.
Chu Han looked at the time, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, if according to the time, the ghost gate of the underworld had already begun to open, and those ghosts who couldn't wait had already come out of it.
Chu Han's estimate was right, if he was in the underworld, he would see that the black door that was always closed in the capital was slowly opening, and the small doors on both sides that were usually used by Yin soldiers and ghosts to enter and exit had been closed.
As soon as a crack opened the door of Xudu, a flash of green light couldn't wait to come out of it. It was a petite shadow, with a pale complexion, blue lips, and black around the eyes.
She glanced left and right, let out a coquettish smile, and the green light disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
There will be two of them, and as her figure disappears, many more figures scrambled out of the gate and disappeared outside the gate.
Chu Han and Liang Xiaoyan passed through an intersection and saw a middle-aged couple burning paper on the side of the road, with a little grief on their faces.
After this intersection, it is not too far from the ghost market.
Chu Han turned his head to look, and beside the couple, there was an elderly woman standing, looking at them with a smile.
In her hand, she held a stack of colorful coins. Chu Han couldn't help but stop and looked at them intentionally or unintentionally.
Wait until the paper of the two is burned and watch the fire go out, then they pack up and leave. The old woman looked at the backs of the two people in the distance, nodded, and stuffed the coin in her hand into her pocket.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Chu Han and Liang Xiaoyan on the other side of the road, smiled at them, and left quickly, looking in the direction of the ghost market.
Chu Han watched the old woman leave, and continued to walk towards the ghost market.
After walking for a few more minutes, Chu Han saw an open square with a barbed wire gate at the corner of the square.
I couldn't see anything from the outside, and when I walked in the door, I saw a lively scene. Inside the door, there is also an entrance, which is guarded by Yin soldiers on both sides.
All the oni are lined up outside, and the forms of the demons are also varied. Those who are missing arms and legs have a large hole in their chests, their heads are tilted to one side, and the corners of their mouths are cracked......
Chu Han crossed the ghosts in line and came to the entrance inside, causing a riot among some unsuspecting ghosts behind.
"Don't you know the queue?"
"Where are the rules of the underworld?"
"Too much of a bully...... Ahh ”
A Yin soldier raised the steel fork in his hand and yelled at those ghosts: "What are you shouting, he is a ghost!" I'm not here to visit a ghost market! ”
Chu Han couldn't help but be a little surprised, this Yin soldier's words were so slippery.
The Yin soldiers shouted, and the ghosts behind them also wilted. People are ghosts, and they come to perform official duties, and what are they talking about? And they are very clear about the rules of the underworld, no one dares to act according to the rules, otherwise the punishment will be very severe. They are all people who have already died once, and no one wants to die again.
As he was talking, a ghost walked to the entrance of the ghost market, and Yin Cha stretched out his hand to wipe his face before letting him in.
"What's going on?" Chu Han looked at Yin Cha suspiciously and asked, "Do you still have to search your body?" ”
Yin Cha grinned and said, "No, this is to prevent those ghosts from fighting. Some ghosts have grievances against each other when they are in the yang world, and today is the Midyear Festival, so I am afraid that they will recognize each other and no one will control them. ”
Chu Han suddenly realized, nodded and walked into the ghost market.
In fact, he and Liang Xiaoyan's task is very simple, that is, to patrol the ghost market to prevent riots. Although the probability of this is very small, it cannot be said that there is none, just in case. There is also an inventory or whether someone has entered the ghost market, whether intentionally or unintentionally, as long as a person walks into the ghost market and is discovered by those ghosts, it can be said that it is a stone that stirs up a thousand waves.
Ordinary ghosts are better, but if you run into evil ghosts, it will be really fatal! Even the severe punishment of the soul could not stop them from attacking those who were alive.
The ghost market is similar to the market in the sun, with stalls on both sides of the road. The business done by the stalls is not much different from the ordinary market, which can be regarded as a continuation of the Yangjian market.
But when you dig deeper, it's different. Simple houses began to appear on both sides of the road, and their business was no longer limited to ordinary things.
Chu Han clearly saw a simple house with an old ghost standing at the door. His face was like a withered tree, he was wearing a dark robe, and his hands were dry ghost claws exposed outside the cuffs.
He was standing in the doorway, but through the doorway he could see all sorts of things on the shelves inside.
"Guest officer, do you want human bones?" The old ghost saw Chu Han stop at his door, and couldn't help but ask in a hoarse voice.
But his voice was already very uncomfortable, and the things he sold were even more uncomfortable.
Human bones? Can you still buy and sell human bones? But what is the use of Chu Han's bones? It's the first time he's in the ghost market, and he doesn't know the rules inside.
"Don't." Chu Han shook his head, don't turn around and leave with Liang Xiaoyan.
The old ghost was also very polite, laughed weirdly twice, and said, "The guest officer walks slowly."
Chu Han had goosebumps when he heard the voice, how dare he walk slowly?
The ghost market seems to be at an end and stretches inside. The things sold on both sides are also strange, and there is everything.
After Chu Han walked for a while, he turned around and walked back. Who knows how far there is inside, so I just can't go there.
His focus was still on the entrance a little bit inside, where there were the most ghosts, and most of them were buying and selling ordinary things.
Returning to the original position, a shed had just been erected, and two extremely bewitching female ghosts were scratching their heads at the door.
Chu Han glanced at it twice and turned his head and left, there are still such places in the ghost market, which is really eye-opening.
Chu Han found a quieter place, sat down with Liang Xiaoyan, and watched these ghosts happily move inside, but they were waiting for the dawn.
