Grandpa guessed that the scrap iron dealer had seen his identity, and arched his hand: "I am not Taishan." "Daddy thought the scrap dealers were going to kick him out.

Unexpectedly, the scrap iron dealer said: "When you came in, I felt a breathtaking repressive momentum. That is a kind of righteousness that cannot be suppressed by evil! This is something I've never encountered before and I admire it so much. I'm afraid I'm looking at the wrong person, so I asked if you have raised ghosts and if you have found seeds. Because anyone who comes into contact with these will be infected with a lot of evil spirits. If you don't say anything, I'm completely sure that person is you. ”

"Can you feel my momentum?" Daddy was surprised.

The scrap iron dealer nodded: "I can feel everyone's momentum since I was a child. Everything in the world is imposing, strong or weak, good or evil. ”

"From a young age?" Daddy asked. He sensed that something was wrong with the scrap metal dealer.

"yes. When I was a child, I thought the most imposing thing was my father's eyes. As soon as his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes slanted, I felt terrible. Later, I found out that many people have momentum, and the momentum is different. I am now a bookmaker, and I rely on this skill. Before the two ghosts fought, I could tell which of them was stronger and which was weaker. I generally buy the stronger side, and there are very few losses, except in special circumstances. The scrap iron dealer said.

"Then I'll bet with you tonight." Grandpa laughed.

The scrap iron dealer was stunned for a moment, turned his head to the side, and wrinkled his eyebrows: "Why did I suddenly say so much to you?" ”

This question has already formed in my father's heart.

The scrap iron dealer looked at his grandfather again and said, "Maybe it's because the impression you gave me just now reminds me of my father." ”

The dealer doesn't look very old, about twenty or thirty, so it's not very abrupt to say such a thing.

Grandpa thought to himself, he can be the owner of more than 20 ghost fighting arenas at such a young age, and his family background must be extraordinary. When he said that he was a person with red flags, his father remembered that Ze Sheng, who was bent on glorifying the eight surnames of the Manchu Dynasty. Could it be that he controls so many ghost arenas for a similar purpose?

"I suggest you don't be a ghost fighter, if you're interested in this, you can follow me and bet on it. Otherwise, it's a pity that you are awe-inspiring and upright. I also don't want someone like my father to fall into it. The scrap iron dealer said sincerely.

"Thank you for saying that."

The scrap iron dealer pointed to the old man who was not far away and said, "As long as his ghost appears, you must buy him." He was almost invincible. "That's the old man who fought ghosts all the way with my father.

"He's a great ghost?" Grandpa saw that the hands of the scrap iron dealer were white and tender, just like the hands of a girl hiding in the attic embroidery.

The scrap iron dealer smiled: "The level of evil aura exuded from his body is almost at your level. The ghosts he raises are not ordinary. It's a miracle that he hasn't changed ghosts in years. ”

"Does he have a special way of raising ghosts?" Daddy asked tentatively.

The scrap iron dealer shook his head and said, "I only care about the results of winning or losing the ghosts." I'm not interested in how they raise ghosts in private. I'm more interested in what you're called. ”

Grandpa hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." My surname is Ma, and I am a former Qing Xiucai. ”

"Ma Xiucai?"

"That's what a lot of people call me. You can call me that, too. Daddy said.

"You're older than me, I should call you Ma Bo or Brother Ma."

Grandpa said, "You can call me anything." ”

"Then I'll call you Brother Ma." The scrap iron dealer laughed.

Daddy nodded. Grandpa glanced at the old man who was fighting ghosts, and saw that he was still talking to people there, probably because he had met an old friend who had been fighting ghosts together for a long time. Grandpa glanced at the iron cage again and found that the bamboo slipper had climbed on top of the iron cage. It curled up on it, its eyes looking at Daddy.

"Scrap iron dealer, you said that person is full of evil spirits, what is his origin?" Daddy wanted to ask for as much information as possible from the scrap metal dealer.

The scrap iron dealer said, "If you ask anyone else, I probably don't know." Ghost fighters generally don't work for long, yin erosion is one thing, and being hurt by oneself for a long time with female ghosts is one thing, and being caught when stealing seeds doesn't end well. Therefore, many people in the ghost fighting field will suddenly disappear every year, and many people will also emerge, cutting stubble and growing stubble like leeks. He was the only one of the leeks that had never been cut. So many people call him the leek marquis. But he claimed that his surname was Chu, so others called him Chu Houye. In the past few years, the female ghost he raised has not disappeared, and has maintained an undefeated record, and many people call him Chu Ghost Marquis, which means that he and his female ghost are like princes who dominate one side. ”

"In this way, as long as he fights ghosts, there is no suspense about the outcome of the battle, who will fight him? As long as he fights ghosts, those who bet will bet on him, and this gambling game can't go on. Daddy said.

The scrap iron dealer said in a young and mature manner: "Brother Ma, you underestimate people's greed too much. He has become a ghost marquis, and there will only be more ghost fighters to challenge him. Because he is already a banner, as long as he is picked off, then the person who picks him can become famous overnight and become that banner. If he is unbeaten for a long time, there will be more people to bet on, because the greater the disparity, the higher the odds. In the case of ridiculously high odds, many people will choose to take risks, they always feel that Chu Guihou has reached the limit of raising ghosts, and maybe the whole line will collapse next time. ”

Grandpa was ashamed and said, "That's true." ”

The scrap iron dealer pointed to the ornament-like female corpse hanging above and said, "There are many evil ghosts who used to dominate one side, and finally their souls are scattered and their corpses are decomposed. Don't look at the current scenery, the end is miserable. ”

Daddy looked up. It's even more terrifying when you look down from the bottom than you just looked down from above. Due to the decay, most of the female corpses' eyes have become cloudy, and their faces are either large corpse spots or a piece of skin missing. Even so, it can still be seen that most of these female corpses were beautiful women when they were alive≡ Gu Hongyan had a thin life, many ups and downs, and many grievances. That's why the ghost fighters chose them. If God gives too much favor to a person when he is born, he will take it more than ordinary people in the end.

"The end of ghost fighters is no better than that of these female ghosts." The scrap iron dealer said.

Grandpa sighed: "They know that their results are so miserable, why are they still obsessed with it now? These corpses are hanging on their heads! ”

The scrap iron dealer said: "I have hung these useless female corpses here to remind them. But no one cared about that. ”

"Why?"

"We all know that we will die in the end, aren't we the same as the pursuit of fame and fortune and false vanity? When you encounter a little interest, isn't it so hard that you don't recognize your relatives to the death? Many things are not visible to them until they are in front of them. The scrap iron dealer said.

"That's right." Daddy nodded.

"On the way to the abyss, they have fun. Later you'll be able to see the excitement of the others when the Ghost Fighter comes on. The scrap iron dealer said.

"How long will it take for the ghost fight to start? I can't wait to see it. Daddy said.

When my father was chatting with the scrap iron dealer, there were still people who walked intermittently from the high well along the spiral staircase to the bottom of the well, and there were ghost fighters and people who looked like dealers.

"It's coming." The scrap iron dealer said.

"If I didn't give you the impression of being imposing, nor the feeling of your father, but just an ordinary newcomer, would you still persuade me not to be a ghost fighter?" Daddy asked.

"If they happen to run into each other, I will advise everyone to think about it. As long as there is another way to live, don't take this path. Of course, I won't advise those who are not obsessed with fighting ghosts because of poverty. After all, everyone has their own choice. As long as it is a choice that you have thought of, others do not have any right to speak. The scrap iron dealer said seriously.

At this time, a person walked up to the scrap iron dealer and asked respectfully: "Big dealer, the people and ghosts who should come are here, can you start?" ”

The scrap iron dealer nodded, "Let's start." ”

Shortly after the man left, the floor shook, and out of nowhere, there was a sound like the wheezing of a beast. Immediately afterwards, many electric lights on the wall of the well were lit up, emitting a yellowish light. The intensity of the light is not stable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. The bottom of the well suddenly lit up a bit.

Grandpa looked at the electric lights around the well wall and said in surprise: "There are still machines that can be used here?" ”

The scrap iron dealer said with a smile: "The well-known Hanyang Arsenal has four major parts, namely the power factory, the machine factory, the shell factory and the gun factory. This factory is designed according to that pattern, and the machines here are also obtained from there, so it can probably be divided into the same four parts, so it can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all five organs. I didn't care about the other machines, but I got someone to fix the power part. ”

Daddy nodded. Sure enough, there is a connection to the Hanyang Arsenal!

"It's only a fraction of the power, and if it's all used, the lights will be brighter. But we have not only people here, but also fighting ghosts, the lights are too bright to fight ghosts, and too dark people can't see clearly. The scrap iron dealer said.

Daddy was amazed. It's unbelievable that there is such technology in such a remote cave!

As soon as the lights came on, the chatters gathered around the circular platform in the center of the well. There was an immediate commotion in the iron cage, which then calmed down.

The person who came to inquire about the scrap iron dealer just now stood on the platform, cleared his throat, and then shouted in an extremely hoarse voice: "Welcome to the ghost fighting arena of our iron dealer!" ”

"Good!" Someone below responded excitedly.

There were also applause.

"There are still a lot of fighting ghosts tonight, but according to the usual practice, we still use the lottery to select four fighting ghosts, two red and two black. Red and red, black and black. Chu Guihou is our champion. The winner of the red is qualified to fight with the red of the Marquis of Chu. The winner of the black must be approved by the Marquis of Chu before he can fight with the red. The man continued to shout in a hoarse voice. Although he didn't roar in a high pitch, it did sound a little majestic.

The scrap iron dealer explained to his father: "This is the same as a good man not fighting with a woman." For the sake of fairness, red and black are rarely fighting. But as long as the owner of the female ghost agrees, it doesn't hurt to fight. ”
