What's even more incredible is that the cave in front of me is not deep, but I can feel a cool breeze blowing out of its depths, and the wind outlet is far away from me, so that when the wind walks through the cave, it makes an unusually long "whining" sound. In addition to this, I could hear the sound of running water under my feet, and judging by the sound, it should be a very fast river, which is now flowing a few hundred meters below my feet.

This feeling was so real that I tried to take one foot to see if there was a road in front of me, but when my foot was raised, I just didn't dare to fall. I'm afraid that if I don't grasp my balance well, I will fall.

Senior Brother Feng suddenly appeared behind me at this time and pushed me violently.

My whole being was pushed into the hole by him, and the moment I entered the hole, I had only one year left in my heart: "I'm done, I'm falling!" ”

But I staggered two steps forward, and actually stepped on the ground, but the sound of the wind was still there, and the sound of the water was still there, which gave me another illusion, I felt as if I was standing in mid-air.

At this time, Senior Brother Zhuang struck the match, lit the torch, and asked me jokingly, "Is it fun?" ”

By the light of the fire, I saw that this was an ordinary cave, very shallow.

But I still wiped my sweat with palpitations, and complained a little to Senior Brother Zhuang: "If you don't play like this, you scared me to death just now." ”

Senior Brother Feng also walked over with a smile, patted me on the shoulder and said, "When every person from the Soul Village came here for the first time, there was such a thing, this is the unwritten rule of our Soul Village. ”

I sighed, "Well, how can there be such a rule?" My master also asked me to memorize the door rules, it seems that there is no such one. ”

Senior Brother Feng was still grinning: "So it's an unwritten rule." I remember the first time I came, my master pushed me into this hole, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak all morning. You people who keep the right line are bold, and when you look at you, you break out in a cold sweat, which is much stronger than I was back then. ”

What do you mean it's a little cold sweat, I thought I was going to die just now, okay?

At this time, Senior Brother Zhuang also said on the side: "There are far more doorways in this cave, do you know where the sound of wind and water came from?" ”

I shook my head, and I saw Senior Brother Zhuang knocking on the wall with his palm a few times, and the sound of the beating was three light and two heavy, two long, one short and one long.

Then I saw cracks suddenly appear in the wall of the cave in front of me, and soon these cracks were joined together, and the originally intact piece of the wall was shattered into countless pieces of rubble.

In this way, in the dark cave wall, a two-person wide doorway appeared again, just like last time.

Brother Zhuang picked up a broken stone and showed it to me, and I saw that there were several very thin silk threads attached to the stone, and I connected it with several other stones, and the silk threads were very soft and thin, but there was a very tough luster on them.

No wonder the cave wall can breathe through the wind, it was originally made of these broken stones, and the gaps between the stones are the source of the wind in the cave.

Senior Brother Feng pointed to the doorway that had just appeared and said to me: "There are three of these kinds of trapdoors in the ghost market, the first two you have already seen, and one is under the town gate. These three doors were laid out by Master and I more than ten years ago, but you don't know that it took a lot of effort to put these stones together in the first place. ”

Senior Brother Feng's words sounded like he was complaining, but when he spoke, he had a rather proud expression on his face.

Senior Brother Zhuang put down the stone in his hand and led us into the doorway, and then I understood that there was a somewhat turbulent stream on the outside of the doorway, the amount of water in the stream was not large, but the flow speed was very fast, and the sound of the water rushing sounded like a river located in the abyss of a hundred meters.

It's too precise, the entire secret passage, from the cat's eye glass that can peek outside, to the psychedelic array placed by the nine luminous stone beads, to this carefully arranged small cave, is too precise!

Seriously, if it weren't for Senior Brother Zhuang and Senior Brother Feng, if I had strayed into such a secret passage, although the tunnel was not deep and there was no very deadly mechanism, but it was such a secret passage, I am afraid that I might not be able to get out of it even if I exhausted my life's wisdom.

I've heard Master say before that my Senior Brother Feng and their lineage are mainly to look at feng shui, choose a house and choose a tomb, and occasionally spare a little effort to clean up those old houses in Jisoul Village. So I always thought that what Senior Brother Feng and they usually do should be similar to those common feng shui gentlemen in ordinary days, but I never even dreamed that the things that Senior Brother Feng and their veins built would be like this!

I glanced back at the doorway, and saw that the broken stones were slowly coming together to form a stone wall, and the doorway was getting smaller and smaller.

After Brother Zhuang took us across the stream, there was a very wide river vein not far away, and the blind Uncle Ke was waiting for us by the river with a small boat.

Probably hearing our footsteps, Uncle Ke shouted to us from afar, "Hurry up, you guys!" ”

A few of us hurriedly trotted two steps, and after getting into the boat, Senior Brother Zhuang took the oars from his uncle and took us to float on the river.

Our destination is an ancient well connected to the river, and after climbing out of the well, we can be regarded as truly entering the ghost market.

The whole ghost market is built in a large stalactite cave inside the mountain, the top of the cave is very high, when I look up, I can only vaguely see the stone stalactites hanging upside down on the top of the cave, and often water droplets fall down along the stone stalactites and hit my head and shoulders.

Senior Brother Feng pointed to a row of earthen houses not far away and said to me, "This is the foot market on the outskirts of the ghost market. The whole ghost market is divided into two rings, the outer ring is the foot market, and most of the people who do business here are some foot merchants who have no door and no faction. In the inner ring, there are the West Market, the East Market and the store, can do business in the East and West Markets, are the same people of the various sects, the store is specially prepared for those relatively large sects, the central position of the store is the town gate, is the place where we send the soul of the Zhuang people to stay. ”

I asked Senior Brother Feng, "What is a foot merchant?" ”

Senior Brother Feng explained to me: "Foot merchants, in the past, we also called them merchants or mercenary merchants, these people have been dealing with various sects all year round, reselling goods from various sects, and sometimes they will be entrusted by some sects to find some rare treasures. However, most of the time, it is difficult to sell the goods in their hands, so whenever the ghost market opens, they will bring those goods in their hands to the ghost market to sell. ”

Just as Senior Brother Feng was speaking, I saw a man carrying a huge burden into one of the earthen houses, and after a while, he came out of the earthen house again, hung a red lantern on the door beam, and wrote two words with a brush on the lamp surface: strange goods.

Later, Senior Brother Feng said to me: "In this place of the foot market, there are all kinds of sellers, and there are all kinds of buyers, and sometimes you can meet some famous people who have been famous for a long time to shop for something here." The West Market in the Inner Ring is similar to here, except that the people who open the shops are all from various sects, and they are more reliable in terms of reputation than the merchants in the foot market. The East Market is more special, and the people who do business there do not sell physical things, but only give fortune tellers, or sell some gossip. As for the store, few of the people in it come to do business, and they rarely show up until the store opens. ”

As he spoke, Senior Brother Feng took me towards the center of the ghost market.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Senior Brother Feng pointed to a row of houses not far away and said, "From here, you will enter the West Market, there are a total of 1,000 shops in the ghost market, 240 in the West Market, 240 in the East Market, and there are ten stores in the store that are relatively large, and the others are all distributed in the foot market. ”

I have to say that the ghost market is indeed very large, not only can accommodate a thousand shops, but also runs through several wide stone roads and countless paths, if it weren't for Senior Brother Feng and Senior Brother Zhuang, I wouldn't be able to get lost alone.

But in such an empty space, there are only a few shops with lanterns lit up, illuminating a small area, and the rest of the place is a large area of darkness and shadows, which will make people feel a kind of oppression.

However, Senior Brother Feng said that most of the merchants in the ghost market have not yet come, and when a thousand shops are opened, more than a thousand lanterns will be lit at the same time.

Thinking about it in such a large cave, with such a red light shining everywhere, I would feel uncomfortable if it were me.

After walking a short distance, I saw a very large ancient building not far away, just like the old houses in the Soul Village, this ancient building also has egg-yellow walls, black spires, and a very conspicuous wooden frame on the walls.

This is the door Ding foot line that Senior Brother Feng just mentioned, and the huge signboard is inlaid on the door beam.

Different from those dimly lit earthen houses, there are more than a dozen pure white lanterns standing around the door, and when I approach it, the world around me suddenly brightens, which makes me feel a lot more relaxed.

At this time, I heard Uncle Ke say to me with a smile: "This is your master's storefront, he liked pomp and circumstance when he was young, and he expanded the door and foot row several times to get to where it is now." In the future, this store will be yours, you have to learn from your master, don't look at him like that, when you start a business, you are also a good player. ”
