Chapter 254: Halloween (1)
There is less than a week to go until the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, which is also called the Ghost Festival even if it is the midyear festival of the Buddha and the Taoist. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
From the first day of the seventh lunar month, the king of Hades ordered the opening of the gate of hell "Ghost Gate", so that those unjust ghosts who have suffered and imprisoned in hell all year round can come out of hell, get a short-term wandering, enjoy the blood and food of the world, and do not return to hell until the end of July. And those who have been imprisoned in the Infernal Hell all the year round will only be freed for a shorter time on the fifteenth day of July, and they will have to answer the Infernal Hell again when the rooster crows in the early morning.
In a blink of an eye, it is July 15th, and this day is like our New Year for ghosts, and the ghost market is also extremely prosperous and lively.
In the past few days in the summer, I have been itching in the cold, and I have long wanted to see the prosperity of the ghost market with my own eyes. He was absent-minded at work all day, wishing it was night now, and wishing that he would send it to the ghost market immediately. So much so that he didn't go home after work, and ran directly to the ghost gate to wait for dark.
In fact, the ghost market was already open in the early morning of July 15, but it was not lively at that time, and there were many things that belonged to ghosts that were not put out, so I endured it in the summer and waited all day until tonight.
After ordering a burger and a Coke at KFC in the summer, I sat on the side of the road and watched the sunset, waiting for it to get dark.
This is the center of the city, and it is becoming more and more lively as the number of people on the street is increasing. At this time, the ghost market is the opposite, the stalls are arranged in an orderly manner along both sides of the street, but there are no ghosts in sight, allowing pedestrians to pass by the stalls.
"Why haven't you come out yet? Besides, why don't you even have a ghost in the hell market who reads? "Summer was impatient to wait, and I complained about the cold in my heart.
"Do you think that ghosts and humans don't necessarily return things when they pick them up?" Han said to Xia Xia with a disdainful face, "I'll let you go home and rest first when you get off work, so you won't sit on the side of the road like a fool now, why do you regret it now?" ”
"Then you didn't say that there are no ghosts in the ghost market?"
"You people have to rest at night, but ghosts don't rest during the day, it's not that you don't know, it's just that you're stupid."
"Okay, I'm stupid, I'm stupid." Summer admits duplicitously, "But then again, is the ghost market here?" Is this the city center? ”
"The ghost market is just outside the ghost gate, and the ghost gate is here, so the ghost market is here."
As the cold and summer chatted, the minutes passed and the sky gradually darkened. There are more and more pedestrians on the street, and the stalls in the ghost market are opening one after another, and the ghosts are also walking out in twos and threes, casually passing through the stalls in the ghost market from the human body. These ghosts are still waiting to be reincarnated and stay in the underworld, and the time for the ghosts to come out is even later, and the infernal hell is even later.
In fact, the way of life and behavior of ghosts are roughly the same as those of humans, but they are just the opposite in terms of work and rest. Some of them walk in groups of three or five, while others wander around alone. They weave through the crowd, making it difficult for Summer to tell which ones are ghosts and which ones are people.
"It's out, it's out......" Summer cried out excitedly.
"It's just the beginning, and the excitement is still to come."
"Time flies so slowly, I can't wait to see it."
"It's coming, it won't be long before the cash truck will pass through here."
"Cash truck?" Summer exclaimed, "There are also cash trucks in the underworld?" ”
"People have things and ghosts, otherwise how do you think the paper money burned by people got to the ghosts, could it be that after burning, they will be piled up in a pile and let the ghosts pick it up by themselves?"
"That's true, but I'm still curious if the ghost really wants money?"
"Shouldn't it be used?"
"What are the hell doing with all this money? We can burn clothes, houses, cars, and things that people have, so why do they need money? ”
"Do you have enough to eat every day? Want money to buy it, right? The life entertainment of ghosts, playing cards costs money, right? You want to be reincarnated early, ask for money and bribe ghosts, right? There are so many places to use it, otherwise why do you want this ghost market? ”
"It's not reincarnation that can be bribed?" Summer couldn't help but smile and asked?
"Haven't you heard that money can make ghosts grind? How much more is this? ”
"Okay, got it, got it......"
Summer waited a little longer, and the cash truck came. This cash transport truck is different from the iron car guarded by armed police with real guns and live ammunition, and it is directly open in the open air. Then it stopped on the side of the road, and saw that it had fallen into the car with a "bang", and soon it was full of cars and drove away, and then another car drove over, and one car after another without a gap.
"This is the ghost's cash truck?" Summer is another exclamation.
"This scene can only be seen today, like the paper money burned in normal times is not much, the money goes directly to the Heaven and Earth Bank, and in the transfer from the Heaven and Earth Bank to the Underworld Bank, a car is enough."
"I've had a lot of insight today."
It's dark now, and there are almost as many ghosts as people on the streets. Seeing so many ghosts and people walking together, it is inevitable that Summer will be a little worried. Because the old people often say that in the middle of the night, someone behind you calls your name, don't look back, otherwise your soul will be hooked away. Thinking of this, Summer couldn't help but ask again, "You said that so many ghosts are with so many people, how many ghosts will call other people's names behind them?" ”
"These ghosts can be reincarnated, they will only be punished by the Wraith Code for doing such things, and if they don't even have a chance to reincarnate, do you think they will do such a thing that outweighs the loss?"
"What about the ghosts that will come out in a while, and the ghosts that will come out of the Infernal Hell? They always do that, right? ”
"First, if they do, they won't have the opportunity to cross the ghost gate for many years to come. And when they come out, there are no people on the streets, and the ghosts will protect them. However, the lonely ghosts of the ghost market in the future will do this, but only a few. ”
The night is getting darker and darker, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, on the other hand, there are more and more ghosts, and the ghosts of the unjust ghosts and the souls of the infernal hell have also stepped through the ghost gate one after another. Now there are ghost mountains and ghost seas in the ghost market, and its spectacular scene is no less than the Spring Festival. The vendors in the ghost market shouted their wares like people, all of which were strange and had never been seen before. There are a lot of ghosts on the street, just as many cars, but they don't have to worry about traffic jams, because even if they collide together, they only pass through each other's cars, and if they meet a familiar ghost, they may say hello at this time.
Halloween is just the official beginning, and summer can't help but walk into the ghost group. (To be continued.) )
