Chapter 67: Treasure City

This matter was obviously unexpected by everyone, Zhou Xuanye snorted and said in a low voice: "What's the matter, he seems to be coming out." As he spoke, the man was completely away from the entrance of the village, getting closer and closer to us, and his face became clearer.

I saw that it was a fairly ordinary face, of course, generally we describe a person as ordinary, that is a kind word, if you are not welcome, it is a little ugly, but not too ugly.

The man's gaze was clearly ours, and in a moment he was standing in front of us. When I got closer, I found that he was very strange, wearing an ancient costume and a hat on his head, but he had short hair.

This made me realize in an instant that our previous guess might be wrong.

This eighty percent is not a ghost market, nor is it a ghost market in the Ming Dynasty.

So, what exactly is it? Who is it in front of you? Or, is he human at all?

The situation that I had never encountered before made all four of us feel a little tricky, and finally I took the lead in speaking and used a more polite wording: "Hello this big brother, may I ask you something?" ”

The other party didn't answer my words, but looked me up and down with a strange look, and finally looked at Zhou Xuanye and the others, turned around us, and walked into the dark.

This behavior is really a little confusing, and when we were about to walk out of our sight, this person suddenly turned around, stretched out his finger and pointed to the ancient village below, and then waved his hand at us, the action was obvious, it was for us to go to the ancient village.

Even if the ancient village is not a ghost market, it is definitely not a good thing, we can't hide from it, how can we take the initiative to enter it? When the man saw that we weren't moving, he reached out and gestured again, and I realized that the other person might not be able to speak.

Feng Ghost hissed in his mouth, lowered his voice and said, "Is he a human or a ghost?" Or what kind of mountain spirit? What do you want to do? ”

Zhou Xuanye only said four words: "Wait and see." ”

When the man saw that we didn't react, he shook his head to himself, as if he was disappointed in us, and walked away, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

He had no lighting at all, and it just blended in with the night. When I reacted and rushed forward a few steps with a flashlight, it was gone, like a ghost.

At this moment, he suddenly said, "You people." His words drew our attention, and we saw him pointing to the ancient village, but because the ancient village was so big and there were too many 'people' coming and going, we really didn't know who he was referring to for a while.

The first to notice was Feng Ghost Hand, who hissed and said, "You mean that person...... Hiss, it seems to be water, rain and frost, too far apart, Chu. ”

"It's her, she's choosing things." "Natural eyesight is trained in the snow-capped mountains, where the white expanse is vast, and the snow ghosts are often far away, and when hunting, it is a great test of eyesight.

At this moment, I also found out that the person he was talking about, and the vaguely modern outfit, coupled with the color, is indeed very much like water and rain and frost, just the face. At this moment, she was squatting in front of a stall to pick and choose, and seemed to be answering the boss from time to time.

This behavior, we were wondering to ourselves, and suddenly Zhou Xuanye's face changed, and his face showed ecstasy: "Is it 'Treasure City'?" Right! It must be 'Treasure City', hurry, let's go down! "Zhou Xuanye has always been gentle and elegant, and he is not slow, and this look at this moment really surprised me. Feng Ghost Hand obviously hadn't heard of this thing in Bao City, and said curiously: "What is this Treasure City for, it makes you so excited?" ”

Zhou Xuanye had already gone to the ancient village without saying a word, and at the same time gestured to us, saying: "While walking, the 'Treasure City' is short-lived, and it generally only lasts for half an hour. ”

Immediately afterwards, he said: "There are three taboos in Treasure City, I will tell you first, remember not to disobey." ”

With an irrepressible expression, I knew that this matter was not trivial, and immediately nodded and motioned for him to continue.

These three taboos are not difficult to do.

The first point is that you can't exchange names, you can't say your name to others, and you can't call other people's names when you meet people you know. If you say someone else's name, you are committing someone else's taboo, which is equivalent to being an enemy of others;

The second point: you can only keep moving forward, even if you go around in circles, you can only go forward, you can't go back;

Point 3: At the entrance of the village, there is a mask to cover the face, and when you go in, you put on the mask, and you are allowed to take it off when you leave the village.

These three quirky taboos, the more curious people are, what kind of name this treasure city is. Zhou Xuanye said as he walked: "You don't have a city full of people, but in fact, most of them are mountain spirits who have changed their eyes. Spirits change into human form, which is only a legend, and most of the spirits only rely on blindfolds to confuse people. Yours, a woman, might just be a pheasant setting up a stall somewhere. This treasure city is actually a demon market. ”

"Demon City?" Ghost Feng gasped and said, "You said that the people in there are all spirits?" ”

Zhou Xuanye nodded and said, "The mountains gather aura, the small mountains produce spirits, and among those mountains and rivers, there will be no demon city." Only those who are surrounded by aura, and there is no mountain dragon head, will countless spirits be bred, and only in this kind of place will there be a treasure market. He said as he walked, and we gradually figured out the origin of this treasure city, and we also knew why Zhou Xuanye was so excited.

The spirits in this treasure city are not real monsters, and the Tao is deep and shallow, and some of them can't even speak to people, but they also have spirituality. The spirits in the mountains can find a lot of treasures that are useful to people, and these spirits will spontaneously form a demon market and trade with people in exchange for something they can't get but like or use.

Of course, the people who can trade in the treasure market are definitely not ordinary people, because the appearance of the demon market has geographical conditions, except for some occasional demon markets, most of the demon markets are regular. And these laws, after being mastered by some people, are often passed on by word of mouth, father to son, teacher to apprentice, most of these people are from famous families or family backgrounds. Like Zhou Xuanye's Sanziguan, it is really a small view that can't be ranked, and it has nothing to do with famous families or anything.

Naturally, he didn't have a channel to know where there was a demon market.

The things that humans and spirits need are different, in the demon market, you may use a string of rock sugar gourds to exchange for a whole piece of jade dug out by the mountain spirits, or you may use a whole piece of jade, and you can't exchange it for a wild vegetable that the mountain spirits think tastes good, therefore, this is definitely a good place for Taobao.

Since it only lasts half an hour, everything has to be traded as soon as possible.

The water and rain and frost were squatting, obviously trading with the demon market.

I suddenly felt as if the door to a new world had opened in front of me, and there was a bazaar with this spirit? Is this still the world I knew it to be? Am I still on Earth? I'm *** not going to cross over, right?

Feng Ghost on the side obviously had the same feeling as me, he rubbed his face, and said with emotion: "There are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains; I used to think that I was a knowledgeable person, but now I realize that I am really short-sighted, and there are such miracles in this world. ”

Zhou Xuanye smiled and said: "There is no ground, there are so many strange things in the world, not all of them are fabricated by the ancients out of thin air, but they are just difficult for people to see today." ”

While talking, we have arrived at the entrance of the village, the entrance of this village is a large archway, outside the archway there is a table of eight immortals, on the table is placed all kinds of masks.

These masks vary in shape and material, made of feathers, rattan, bark, straw, and simply a very large flower, with the petals pulled back, with eye and nose holes dug out in front of the flower. In addition, there are some very curious and terrifying masks, such as snakeskin masks, skull masks, dried corpse palm masks, lizard masks, turtle shell masks, and the most dazzling thing is a modern, somewhat worn Monkey King mask.

The four of us each picked a wooden mask to wear on our faces, and under the leadership of Zhou Xuanye, we walked into this treasure city.

This treasure market is full of 'people', with strange looks, and I even have a well-known kung fu star, I bet this spirit must have seen a picture of this kung fu star, so I used a trick to make myself like this.

As I walked, I was curious to sell something. I saw that most of the people in front of the stalls were not much, less than three or five, and many were seven or eight, which was different from people setting up stalls and setting up one hundred and eighty things.

No matter how fine things are, some are stones, some are plants, it seems to be some kind of medicinal herb, but I don't know it, of course, according to Zhou Xuanye, what they sell may also be wild vegetables that they themselves think are delicious.

When I walked to the second stall, I couldn't help but gasp for something, hurriedly pulled Zhou Xuanye's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, hurry." "This is the code name we agreed on in advance, according to the age arrangement, Feng Ghost Hand is the eldest Zhou Xuanye is the second and my third, very tender is actually the natural stay of the old monster is the fourth.

Zhou Xuanye followed, seemed to smile, and said; "It's ginseng."

Feng Ghost Shou said: "Good guy, after living all my life, I have never seen ginseng that looks like such a person, and if it is a hundred years long, maybe I will become a ginseng doll." "Ginseng can become a ginseng doll, that is, it becomes a sperm, and there are many folk legends about ginseng dolls.

Zhou Xuanye immediately said: "Go and ask how to change it." ”

I had just finished selling my steps when a figure had already squatted in front of the stall before me.
