This is indeed a street that only ghosts can walk in, and it is eerie like a dream scene.

Although it was still dark overhead, there was a faint light on this dirt street, and although it had been a long, long time, I found that I could not describe the light in words, like a rainy day, and a little like a dark cloud-shrouded evening, and there was a faint blue light mixed in it, and that light seemed to be a faint smoke, giving people a sense of almost nothingness.

Since this road leads to the top of the mountain, I am at the bottom, and I can't see the end of this road when I look up, there are really many 'pedestrians' on the road, they are dressed in different ways, as far as the eye can see, there are people in suits and coats, and there are even a few women wearing cheongsam. The only thing they have in common is that they seem to be lilt, well, maybe that's nonsense, because they're dead guys.

And the ghosts selling things on the roadside stalls are also varied, from ingots and candles to guns and ammunition, and there are many stalls that do not have any goods, just hanging banners, because they are far away, so I can't see the words on it.

But after walking a few steps, my heart became more and more puzzled, and a question popped up in my mind, that is, what is this Yin Si Street for?

I remember that Qian Zhashi told me before, that Xudu Difu is no different from the city in the world, and there are all kinds of merchants in it, since this is the case, then why do you want to make this ghost collection in the world every once in a while? That's a lot of work!

The more I thought about it, the more unreliable it became, so I whispered this doubt to Qian Zha Paper next to me, and Qian Zha Paper turned his head to me and whispered: "You can see it, that's right, in fact, a large part of this market is for people." ”

It turns out that this so-called ghost collection is actually a similar hodgepodge of surnames, talking about the heyday of alien arts in ancient times, when there were many capable people and strangers, and there were many people who dealt with ghosts, but the communication of that era was not developed, so many capable people had to travel around in order to learn the Tao.

And this Yin Si Street is even higher than that time, here was originally just a passage for those kind ghosts to go home during the Midyear Festival, and the Midyear Festival is popularly said to be the "Ghost Festival" that we usually listen to, Taoism has the "three yuan" said, "Shangyuan" on the fifteenth day of the first month, "Zhongyuan" on the fifteenth day of July, "Xia Yuan" is October 15, and the origin of the Halloween is different, at this time the origin of the "dead city" in the underworld must be talked about first.

It is about the underworld in the city of vain death, all of them are imprisoned are some poor ghosts who died in vain, because their death method cannot be reborn, so even if they reach the boundary of the underworld, they can only be locked up in the vain death city, and wait until they live enough to live enough to continue reincarnation, but it is about how unwilling people who died in vain have a lot in their hearts, and the vain death city is like a prison, if those ghosts are trapped for a long time, most of them will give birth to abuse. This abusive aura seems to be engraved in the soul, so that it is carried after reincarnation in the next life, and people with abusive aura often do some evil things. Therefore, in order to prevent such a thing from happening, the underworld will open the gate of the dead city at the beginning of the Midyear Festival every year, and let these ghosts return to the world.

In fact, the place of the underworld is not what we usually see in books or TV (there have been fewer TVs about this kind of ghosts and gods in recent years), the world is developing and progressing, and the same underworld is slowly changing, although due to different times, the current underworld is about 50 years behind the world, but it has been changing.

It is said that those capable people in ancient times later discovered this road that will be opened once a year, and slowly this road was spread in the circle, and every year in the Midyear Festival, many capable people gathered here with various purposes, some wanted to find out the news, some wanted to find people, and some wanted to ' There are also those who want to simply join in the fun, and even more, there are some ghosts from the underworld who set up stalls to sell goods here, and over time, this place has evolved from an ordinary road to a jumping street, and later, the leaders of the underworld changed this place to 'Yin Si Street'. Legend has it that when Zhong Kui married his sister, he walked on this street, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Spring Festival of the underworld on July 15 every year, which shows how lively this place used to be.

Later, the war in the world, the number of ghosts in vain death in the underworld increased dramatically, and the ghosts released every year were fixed (I heard the older generation say that this is because there are too many ghosts released to be difficult to manage, and some ghosts will take advantage of the chaos to harm the world, so the old people did not let the children go out on the night of July 15), so the underworld had to increase the appearance of the Yin Si Street, and then in the next year, in addition to the fixed Zhongyuan Festival, there will be a few days of random opening of the Yin Si Street with the degree of grievances at the bottom of human society.

In fact, this is not unreasonable, after all, the happiness of the people's lives is directly proportional to the number of ghosts in the underworld, such as wars or harsh taxes and other things are affecting the survival rate of the people, so the happier the years, the fewer the appearance of Yin Si Street, and the more complaining years, the more ghosts and grievances in this Yin Si Street.

Qian Zhashi whispered to me: "Now there are about ten days a year, I heard my grandfather, he still had people here at that time, but it seems that it is just a decoration now." ”

So that's the case.,After I listened to the words of Qian Tie Paper.,It's also a science popularization of the knowledge of this underworld.,So I'm really ashamed.,I'm still a shaman who can deal with ghosts and monsters.,I don't know as much as a game otaku.。

Come to think of it, this Yin Si Street turns out to be a passage for labor prisoners to let off steam! But every year, there are more than ten days of ghosts in the world, is it really okay to do this?

But then I learned that in addition to the day of the Midyear Festival, the ghosts in other days can't step out of this Yin Si Street, that is to say, this is just a tricky trick played by the underworld to the civilian ghosts, these ghosts who have been released can only walk around on this road, but they can't get out of this street, but fortunately, there are still vendors selling all kinds of goods on the street, which is a hundred times better than the cage-like dead city, so those ghosts are not complaining, just come out to gather and disperse, And another title of Yin Si Street, 'Yin Ji', also comes from this.

Qian Zha paper his family has to go to this market several times a year, Qian Zha paper said that their family is actually here to send money, this is their family rules, after all, the ghosts on this street are very pitiful, some ghosts have died for a long time, the family has broken the incense, so that they can only live a beggar-like life in the city of vain, even if they go to this market, they can only dry their eyes, so they carry a few burdens of money every year to distribute here, just as a collection of yin virtue.

But don't say it, the Qian family's move has really brought good rewards, and the people in his family have really not been seriously ill or had a major incident for several generations, maybe this has something to do with their good deeds, but this has nothing to do with this article, so I won't skip it.

After listening to Qian Zha Paper's words, I became a little interested in Yin Si Street, so I asked him: "Xiao Qian'er, I heard you say that you have been shopping here with your father since you were a child, do you just send money?" ”

Qian Zhashi shook his head, and then said to me: "Of course not, there are some things here that are quite fun, by the way, are you hungry now, it's still early, come and eat something?" ”

With that, he turned sideways to let a young ghost in a blood-stained sweatshirt pass, and then came to a small stall on the side of the road, said something to the stall owner, and then exchanged a bowl of yellow paper for a bowl of things, and he handed the bowl to me, and then said to me, "Come and taste it, it's very tasteful." ”

Can I eat anything here? I smiled awkwardly, and when I looked up, it turned out that he was holding a bowl of red wontons in his hand, which made me a little puzzled, so I asked him: "Are there farmers farming in the underworld?" ”

Qian Zhaji shook his head, and then said to me: "Don't make trouble, they don't think about the sun?" ”

"And where did this ravioli come from?" I asked, puzzled.

Qian Zhashi said to me as he walked: "Our living people give them a tribute, this thing is called copying hands here, ghost copying hands is a specialty, come and taste it, it's a little fishy." ”

Take it aside! I looked at the money and shook my head hurriedly, thinking that you are not afraid of losing your life if you eat other people's tribute, big brother!

But it seems that this is the industrial chain of the entire underworld, usually after people die, the customs of most places have to burn some paper money for them to spend below, but for various reasons, there are also many ghosts below who have no money to make, so they can only rely on their own barter in exchange for something and then sell it, which shows that this trade is really everywhere, whether it is in the world or in the underworld.

I can't bear the blessing of that bowl of ghosts, you must know that this time I came to find the yin market, Qian Zha paper said to me, that place is probably in the innermost part of this street, because there are only two ghosts there to guard, when he came here before, there were ghosts to stop us, so we can only continue to move forward.

No way, keep going inside, in fact, the more you go inside, the more ghosts you will have, at that time I really had a delusion in my heart, I felt that I had come to the underworld, otherwise, how could there be so many ghosts?

I can finally understand now why Qian Za paper is so calm as if he was smoking instant noodles, and he has been here several times since he was a child, and he has long been numb.

In fact, I found that I was also almost numb, although these ghosts were a little infiltrating at first, but after a long time, you will find that there is no one in the ghost group at all, maybe this is also the effect of Han Daoye's Yin Deed on me, so that I also slowly put my mind at ease, and Qian Zha Paper went all the way, Qian Zha Paper seems to be very talkative after entering this Yin Si Street, and always tells me some interesting things here on the side, maybe he is still reluctant, So I wanted to make me feel as happy as possible before I hit the road, but when I think about it, my heart is a little sour.

It's really not in vain to make this brother.

So I also tried my best to be interested in every word of him, the further up the hill, the more eccentric the roadside stalls became, paper horses and paper people, all alive here, and there were some ancient costumes and other things, but these things were useless to me, only one merchant aroused my interest, the stall was very inconspicuous, behind the stall sat a ghost with one eye open and one eye closed, looking like an old man, with sparse hair but a bun at the back of his head, and a large gold bracelet on each wrist, With his chin in his right hand, he tilted his head and looked at us like flying eyes.

There was a banner hanging from the stall with crooked handwriting that read: Look at the sky at a glance.

I thought to myself what this meant, so I glanced at Qian Zha Paper, and after looking at the old man, Qian Zha Paper said to me, "This, a fortune teller." ”

Qian Zha Paper knows this ghost, it turns out that this is a dead master, because he doesn't want to be reincarnated, so he has been staying in Fengdu City, since the time of playing Qian Zha Paper, I have seen it, to say that the entire Yin Si Street is afraid that it has no business to do, you think, now the people who can go to this Yin Si Street are almost extinct, so the activities here are basically all ghosts, the fate of ghosts is nothing more than two kinds, one is reincarnation, and the other is to go to hell, who will find it to tell the fortune?

As soon as I mentioned the fortune calculation, my heart moved, and then I said to the money paper: "Is it accurate?" ”

After thinking about it, Qian Zhashi said to me: "I heard my grandfather say that it seems that its hexagram is very accurate and accurate, it seems that it was really popular here when there were many people in the past, but my family has never counted." ”

"Why? Why is it not accurate? I asked.

Qian Zhashi smiled, and then said to me: "It's because it's accurate, it's not counted, what's the meaning of knowing it?" ”

Indeed, life is like a suspense movie, if you know the ending from the beginning, this movie will become boring and boring, and spoilers are forbidden in life, I'm afraid this is also the just side of heaven, Qian Zhashi said to me, usually listening to those stupid people in the world is better than fortune telling, you should listen to a story and have fun, after all, it takes thousands of years to produce a Yuan Tiangang? But if he really met someone who could truly understand the way of heaven, he really didn't dare to count.

But I thought at the time, now that I know that this ghost has real skills, why can't I find it to calculate where Su Yidan is now? Thinking of this, I asked Qian Zha paper again: "I said Xiao Qian'er, this is ............."

"Little man, little man, come on, no money." Before I could finish my words, the old man in the distance suddenly said to me, "Come here, you don't have much time left." ”

Hey, it! I looked at the old man, and I saw that he was also looking at me, and I looked left and right, and found that there was no other ghost stopping, so I thought to myself, "Little man", is it calling me? I have to say that I was taken aback by this old grandson, to say that Qian Zha Paper and I were quite far away from it at that time, and our conversation has been whispering, this old ghost has no reason to hear it!

Even if he could hear it, what did his words mean? What am I running out of time? Does it see that I'm human? And do you know the purpose of my visit to Yin Si Street this time?

It's terrifying, isn't it?

After the old man finished shouting, Qian Zha and I looked at each other and froze for a while, and then decided to find it to calculate, so we both walked forward, and when we came to the stall, I found that the old man's open eye seemed to be blind, very unfocused, and I didn't know if he was looking at you when I stood in front of him.

And I was about to speak, when the old man shook his chin with one hand and the other at me, and then said, "Okay, okay, you don't have to speak, I understand everything, and now you listen carefully to what I say." ”

I thought to myself, what do you understand, uncle! You don't even look at me, okay?!

Obviously, although Qian Zhazhi has been here many times, it is also the first time he has seen this old man talk, so that he doesn't know what to say, and the old man said to me at this time: "Let me tell you about our rules first, let's talk about 'one destruction and two wastes, the head and the spirit of the second knot', let me tell you a few words, if you come back from the Yin City, you feel that it is effective and then give me money, understand?" ”

I was extremely shocked, damn it, this old man really knew that I was going to the Yin City! That's weird, isn't it?

"It's not weird at all, you just listen to me." The old man looked straight ahead with one eye, and then said this to me faintly.

But the more it said that, the more weird it felt in my heart! What are you kidding, I haven't spoken yet, uncle! I don't want you like this!

This old man is indeed a bit of a doorway, I swallowed and spit, and then thought in my heart, I didn't open my mouth at all just now, but it seemed to have seen me through the cold, I have to say, this feeling is really difficult to describe in words, and the old man still said to himself: "You are in danger this time, I will send you a few words, do you want to hear it?" ”

The more he said this, the more frightened I became, I thought to myself where I am now, this is Yin Si Street, it is no longer the realm of the yang world, why did an old ghost suddenly appear to help me? What is his purpose?

So I was a little embarrassed and said, "This uncle, let's ............."

"Okay, don't talk about it." The old man yawned before I could finish, and then replied lightly, "Why should I help you?" Speaking of which, I've been here for too long, except for this Qian family, who doesn't count hexagrams, there hasn't been a decent person here over the years, it's really boring, since I met you this time, I want to calculate it for you, it's as simple as that. ”

After I heard it say this, I probably understood what was going on, the relationship of this mysterious old ghost and the old man of Xuan Yan have a virtue, both belong to the group of players who are lonely and lonely, I am relieved to think of this, so I said respectfully to the old ghost: "Then thank you Uncle first." ”

The old ghost with one eye closed waved his hand at me, and then said, "You have to figure it out, I'm not here to help you, how can there be a vain divination?" This is the rule, as I just said, when you come back, if you think it's accurate, you'll have to pay me double the hexagram money, understand? ”

I nodded, signaled to it that I understood, and then said to it, "Uncle, may I ask ............ you?"

"Alright, you don't have to say it." I saw the old ghost holding his chin and saying to me slowly: "I know what you want to ask, you can listen to a few words: life and death and death, the road is indeed empty, the bright road is hidden behind the door panel, and the wooden ghost is heading north." ”

After finishing speaking, I saw that the old ghost closed his mouth, and returned to the previous puppet's demeanor and remained motionless, while Qian Zha Paper and I were confused, Qian Zha Paper said to the old ghost: "Uncle, can you speak Mandarin, what do these four sentences mean?" ”

The old ghost didn't pay attention to him, still motionless, a cloudy eye didn't seem to look at us at all, and I was thinking about the words it gave me repeatedly, and I felt that there really seemed to be some doorway in it, and the old man also said just now, it knows what I want to do, so these few words are the key to me finding Su Yidan?

And when I thought of this, I began to doubt the identity of this old man again, and I thought to myself, is there really such a cheap thing in this world? Who the hell is this old man?

But after thinking about it, I can't think of a reason, so I don't think about it anymore, anyway, I should know, I will know sooner or later. In any case, since it has already given me a word, I don't care if it is ineffective, I have to thank the people first, so I bowed to the old ghost respectfully, and then said to it: "Thank you, sir, for your explicitness, can you tell me the name, if I am lucky enough to come back, I will give him a generous gift." ”

After listening to my words, the old ghost said lightly to me: "Okay, go early and return early, there are still things waiting for you to do." ”

After saying this sentence that made me a little inexplicable, it stayed where again, and after I and Qian Zhashi glanced at each other, they had to give up and leave the hexagram stall, after such a thing, I became a little apprehensive in my heart, I really can't imagine that I can be recognized by the ghost so deep that I am now hidden, since this old man can recognize me as a human, then if the ghost can also recognize me, then how can this be good?

Forget it, don't think about it, I persuaded myself in my heart, anyway, it's all up to this, let's take one step at a time!

Anyway, let's hurry up, so I and Qian Zha Paper quickened our pace, and after a while, we came to the end of the place that Qian Zha Paper said, I looked at it, only to see that the end of the street was not far away, the end of the blue fog was dark, and before the darkness stood a ghost, this is the first time I saw what the ghost looks like, it sounds similar to what I imagined, wearing an ancient jailer's costume, and at a glance, it looks like he just jumped out of the TV, These two tall ghosts stood there motionless, as if they were two sculptures, and Qian Zhashi looked at me and whispered to me: "We have arrived, there should be about an hour to do it?" ”

I was naturally not in a calm mood at that time, and I listened to Qian Zha Paper ask me, so I nodded, and then replied, "Do it, let's do it as planned." ”
