Chapter 55: The Great Outer Market
As soon as his words fell, where can I care about appreciating any murals?
As soon as I turned my head suddenly, my eyes became cold, and I whispered, "Excuse me, are you a threat?" â
The white-robed man regained his squinted eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked, his hands in his sleeves, and said in an incomprehensible tone: "Why do you say that? I'm just reminding. â
I snorted coldly, what's the use of bothering with him? I can only say that when the time comes, be careful when something happens.
At this time, there were other people who entered the ghost market, and the white-robed people stopped paying attention to us and went forward.
"This trip to the ghost market, I'm afraid it won't be too smooth." The moment he turned around, Brother Zhengchuan suddenly whispered very quietly.
I thought that Brother Zhengchuan was blaming me for acting impulsively, so I couldn't help but argue in a low voice: "Brother, you really can't blame me for this matter, this white-robed man acts"
Brother Masakawa tugged at me, interrupted my argument, and just said, "That's what doesn't go well, haven't you noticed?" It's not that we're looking for trouble, it's something inexplicable. â
I was silent, which was a bit weird.
If there is anyone in the ghost market who is targeting us? That doesn't make sense, huh? After all, we don't know anyone in the circle of cultivators.
"There's no way, only water comes to cover the earth, and the soldiers will block it." I said one last word, and then pulled Brother Masakawa towards the end of this hall.
It's just that I inadvertently glanced back, and I happened to see the eyes of the white-robed man also looking at us, and the indescribable and inexplicable hostility in it made me a little more vigilant in my heart.
When I turned around, I saw a line of familiar handwriting, carved on the wall of the small hall.
"I would like to use this picture to comfort the souls of the dead."
The reason why this handwriting is familiar is because I have seen such handwriting on small notes every day in the past two days, isn't it Chen Chengyi's handwriting? It's actually carved here?
And these pictures that seem to be a picture of daily life in the city, how can they comfort the souls of the dead?
My heart was full of questions, but I was already pulled through this small hall by Brother Zhengchuan, and what appeared in front of us was a downward passage, not long, less than ten meters.
It is still brightly lit, and at a glance you can see the end of the four gates.
Of course, it is said to be a gate, but compared to the gate that entered the ghost market, these four gates are slightly smaller, but the strange thing is that the doors of these four gates are not the usual metal or wooden, but four purple curtains.
After getting closer, we can see concretely, this is not an ordinary curtain at all, from the fluctuation faintly transmitted above, this is simply the 'drawing' material after processing, after all, the material of the drawing is not limited to paper, as long as it meets the requirements, you can use a lot of materials.
And on the curtain, there are really delicate runes painted with dragons and phoenixes.
Brother Zhengchuan and I don't understand the way of runes, so naturally we don't understand what this rune is for, just at a glance, I feel that this rune is really subtle and profound, and after looking at it a few times, there is a vague feeling of brain swelling and pain, just like looking at the deep formation.
It can be seen that the skill of the person who drew the talisman.
At this time, there were also people who arrived early in front of this door, but they didn't stay like us, and directly lifted the curtain and entered the outer market.
Before, standing in front of this curtain, you could hear the faint human voice, and at the moment when the curtain was opened, you could clearly hear the movement inside, not only some voices, but almost the feeling of human voices.
And there are no guests yet? It's so lively?
Brother Zhengchuan and I can wait, and we simply lifted the curtain and entered this long-awaited ghost market.
As a result, the moment I entered, Brother Zhengchuan and I were stunned behind the curtain, this is the outer market of the ghost market? It's like one, I can't describe it.
In front of you is a huge cave, but there are not many traces of artificial carving, but it looks like a cave formed naturally by the movement of the ground.
However, this cave is wonderful in that it is not a flat cave like we are used to, but the whole cave is trending horizontally downward, like a huge slope.
On the top of the wide slope, there stood one room after another, which were so crudely made that they could be seen to be simple houses made of local materials, but there was a huge oil lamp in front of them, which illuminated the whole cave.
But this is far from the scale of the entire out-of-town market.
What is even more striking is that there are steps carved out of the two walls of the cave, which spread upwards in a zigzag shape, this staircase is a little steep, and there are no guardrails, but for the cultivators, it is not a problem to walk on them, and every few steps there is a huge oil lamp standing.
By the light of the oil lamps, you can see that there are small caves carved into the two walls of the cave, which are not too many, because they are very far apart from each other.
At the top of the stairs, there are two huge caves, and two platforms extend out of the mouth of the caves, and at the two corners of the platforms, two white-robed people stand on each side, as if they are monitoring the city.
It's like a small town! And it's full of a certain wonderful feeling.
Since the drastic change in my life, I have always lived an ordinary life, and after that, I have seen a lot of things but I still can't stand it, I stand on the stairs of the entrance to this city, and I have a feeling that I can't distinguish between real dreams.
It's just because this cave is just that.
No one thought that in the sky above the cave, there was a wonderful angle and pattern, and the star map was arranged, and at the position of each star, there was a translucent stone, reflecting the fire under the cave, just like a little star.
And if you look closely, on the huge gentle slope that descends, there are mountains and rivers depicted with something close to the color of earth, but this direction is also peculiar and has a certain pattern.
What did Brother Masakawa and I study? How can this be hidden from us?
After just observing for a while, we can see that these two seemingly exquisite huge pictures are simply two exquisite formations, and the mountains and rivers below are not able to see any effect, but the star map on the top of this cave is definitely a supreme suppression array.
Master once said that anything that can borrow the power of the stars means that it is a spell, a talisman, or a formation, and it is definitely a top-level suppression.
In this whole world, there are probably not many people who can escape under the suppression of the power of the stars.
I took a deep breath, the weird smell of this ghost market became more and more obvious, and then I thought of some of Aunt Chengzhen's words, no matter how stupid I am, I know that this is probably not as simple as a ghost market, right?
After all, the market can only be used for trading.
If Chen Chengyi is the senior brother in Aunt Chengzhen's mouth, that is, a person with a very high status in the Snow Mountain lineage, what did he choose the ghost market here for?
"What does Chen Chengyi want to do?" My heart was full of questions, and I couldn't help but take another look at the huge downward slope, the ghost market only occupied the middle part, and then the downward part, it was a darkness, but my heart was beating violently at this time, like countless voices were screaming at me, I was going somewhere.
I was even in a bit of a trance and couldn't help but step forward.
The whole body was a stumbling one, but fortunately, it was pulled by Brother Zhengchuan in time.
"San, what are you going to do? It's a ladder down here" Brother Zhengchuan was a little anxious about my behavior, although under the mask, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but there was a little reproach in his voice.
"It's okay, I'm just in a hurry to go to the ghost market, and I didn't stand up." I don't want Brother Zhengchuan to have extra worries, all kinds of things in the ghost market have made every nerve of the cautious and calm Brother Zhengchuan tense.
At this time, several more people came out of the purple curtain, and one of them urged: "Either go down quickly, or go to the side, don't get in the way." â
Here, because there is a covering, no one can know who is who after a little contact? The conversation was inevitably a little arrogant.
Brother Zhengchuan and I didn't want to cause trouble, so we hurriedly walked towards the ghost market below.
In just a short period of time, more and more people entered the ghost market, and in the blink of an eye, on this wide and long staircase downward, there was a dense crowd of people, not to mention the number of thousands.
Although cultivators are definitely not the majority of people in the world, based on the huge population base, it can be regarded as a terrifying number if they are really concentrated.
As I watched this scene, I subconsciously thought of the demon hunters, who were really deprived of the population in comparison.
Thinking like this, Brother Zhengchuan and I have already reached the end of the stairs here, corresponding to the four gates at the entrance, and there are also storage zĂ i similar to the four guard boxes, no matter how arrogant the cultivators were before, they are honestly lining up here.
Brother Zhengchuan and I are no exception, fortunately, we came relatively early, and there were not many people in front of us, and it was soon my turn to be Brother Zhengchuan and me.
In the sentry box, there were also two white-robed people, and I had noticed before that every cultivator who entered the ghost market, these two white-robed people would stuff something into their hands.
I was standing in front of Brother Masakawa, and when it was my turn, I was also stuffed with something in my hand.
When I opened my palm and saw it, I couldn't help but let out a sneer.
