20. Ghost market

At the moment when Zhang Ming was dragged away, the big dog strode out, but it was still a step too slow.

When we arrived at the corner where Zhang Ming and the woman in white disappeared, everything returned to normal, perhaps because we were moving too much, attracting a lot of strange eyes.

The main thing is, our family! Cute big dog! Like a gecko, he stuck to the wall trying to use his head to make a way first......

I pulled him off the wall with some helplessness: "You go back and ask your mother to buy you something to eat that increases your IQ, okay?" You don't know like this, and you think that your stepmother fed you with pig feed. ”

The big dog still looked unsatisfied: "No, first sister, there is definitely something wrong with this wall." ”

Liangchi reached out and touched the wall: "There is a problem, but we don't know how to get in." ”

The big dog pondered for a while, and finally ushered in his IQ leap: "Let's look for Lao De!" Isn't he a goalkeeper? Looking at the posture of the two of them just now, they must have entered that yin and yang ghost market. ”

It's just that when we ran to Lao De's store again, Lao De had already closed the door.

We looked at each other, and I began to feel a little confused, looking around, trying to find the figure of Lao De in the crowd, but I looked around and saw no more familiar figures.

At this time, an old and hoarse voice like a crow suddenly sounded from behind me: "The girl wants to go to the ghost market?" ”

The three of us immediately looked back at the source of the sound.

At some point, a man appeared behind us.

It was an old man with a withered face, and his eyes were bright and shining. He was clumsy, with messy white hair like a chicken's nest, and was dressed in a black robe, holding a white flag, and wearing black cloth shoes that matched the black robe.

Liang Chi's eyes looked at the banner in the old man's hand, narrowed slightly, looked at it for a long time, and asked the old man seriously: "Old man, what you are holding in your hand is the 'Soul Seeking Flag'?" ”

The old man's head tilted, his gaze turned from my body to Liangchi, how to say, his movement was very strange, like a puppet pulled by a string, stiff, and his voice was a little harsh and ugly: "Oh? The lad knows this? ”

I'm also curious, the banner in the old man's hand looks like the soul banner used for the burial of the dead, but I don't understand why Liangchi said "soul flag". Also waiting for Raike's explanation.

Liang Chi's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and his eyes were empty for a moment, but he quickly regained his brilliance and shook his head: "I don't recognize it, it's just that your banner looks similar to the 'Soul Attracting Banner', and this is not someone buried, so I guess your thing is not a soul attraction but a soul seeker." ”

I kept paying attention to his expression when Liang Chi said this, and even if he covered it up well, I could still tell that he was lying.

His remarks were obviously made up, even if he guessed that this was not a soul flag, it was impossible to guess that this was a soul flag.

The old man smiled meaninglessly and went straight to the point: "The three of you want to enter the ghost market, right?" ”

The big dog hurriedly came up: "Yo! Expert! You know? ”

The old man's smile deepened: "Of course I know. As he spoke, he took out three wooden plaques tied with a black rope from his arms: "This is the wooden plaque to be used to enter the ghost market, is it your first time here?" When the old man saw that you were destined, the three wooden cards were given to you, but you had to promise the old man one condition. ”。

I knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

The old man's smile became more and more weird: "My biggest hobby in life is to tell fortunes, and I love to spy on the mysteries of this life." I'll give you these three keys, but you'll have to let the old man do the math alone. ”

The big dog said boldly: "Why did I think it was a big deal, isn't it fortune telling?" Forget it, forget it, I'll come! ”

Liang Chi pulled the big dog behind him and looked at the old man vigilantly: "Mr. is afraid that there is more than this, right?" ”

The old man's face stiffened obviously, and Liang Chi continued: "You first want to give us the key to the ghost market, and secondly, you want to give us a word and fortune telling, this snooping on other people's numerology is to spy on the heavens, and you will be punished by heaven, right?" In this way, we have taken a great advantage, but where in this world are there such people who only want to give and not ask for anything in return? Even if there were, it wouldn't be like us who had nothing to do with it. ”

The old man's frozen face became more and more gloomy, and then, the corners of his mouth hooked a strange arc: "Hmph, the young man is talented, it's just that you go and inquire about the old man, and no one knows my banner 'God Operator', who doesn't know." There will definitely be a price, only a little bit for you, but for me, it will be a great help. Besides, I didn't lie to you, fortune telling is indeed my hobby. But this is the key to the hell market, you don't want it, forget it. You don't have to think about finding someone with so many entry keys within a radius of ten miles. ”

This time, the big dog didn't act recklessly, touching his head and anxiously waiting for Liangchi to speak. And Liangchi turned his gaze to me with a blank face, and I was a little flustered: "Don't look at me!" You are the wise man of the three of us! ”

Liangchi noodles did not change color: "Time waits for no one, you make a decision quickly." Ziqing and I don't care. ”

I gritted my teeth, snatched the three wooden plaques from the old man's hand, and anxiously urged: "Calculate quickly!" We rushed in to save people! ”

The old man stretched out his palm to the big dog: "Young man, you can write a word first." ”

The big dog didn't think about it, so he drew a horizontal line in the old man's hand.

The old man nodded: "One, one is the root of all things, the young man has a pure mind and no distractions, and he pursues simplicity all his life." Yi Youyun: One life is two, two is three, and three is everything. If you are focused on something, the future is limitless. ”

Next is Liangchi, Liangchi wrote a "person" in the old man's hand, and the old man couldn't help but smile when he saw this word: "This person adds two horizontal is 'heaven', the young man must be a person who has the world in his heart, and this world is the world of all people, with your heart, you must give up something for the world." ”

The old man summed up the numerology of Liangchi and the big dog in a few words, and when it was my turn, his brows wrinkled into a "Chuan" character, and what I wrote in his palm was a "life" word.

After a long time, the old man spoke: "I can't see your future, you have three lives in your life, but there is only one theoretical rebirth, you have a mission in this life, just to protect someone and fulfill his mission." ”

When the old man said this, my eyes unconsciously looked at Liangchi, this is what the master has said countless times, so I must take good care of Liangchi.

"Let's go! The door is in the ghost market! When you come out, I'll come and take what I want. The old man suddenly said such a sentence, and then disappeared into the night like a ghost in the blink of an eye.

Liangchi and the big dog didn't seem to care much about the old man's words, only I still couldn't chew on the old man's short words, and let the big dog drag the lost soul of me to the ghost market.

Not long after we plunged into the crowd, our heads "buzzed", as if we had been sucked into a huge whirlpool, dizzy, indistinguishable from heaven and earth, and the surrounding flowers and greenery blurred......

After the dizziness disappeared for a long time, the scene in front of me gradually became clear......

The ghost market is still on that long road, but the small vendors and pedestrians in the surrounding area have changed. Those people are no longer noisy ordinary people, but people with different masks, somewhat retro clothes, and some with long swords in their hands and short-bladed weapons of various colors. I could even feel the chill coming over me.

The big dog looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, his eyes were round, and he had not yet recovered from his surprise.

However, Liangchi was much calmer, but his eyebrows and eyes were slightly furrowed, and he quickly returned to normal, and began to look around carefully.

"Guest, do you need a mask?"
