Chapter 85: Cemetery Auction

The inns in the town are all antique taste, Tang Yichuan lives in an inn by the water, each room can see the water flow outside when you open the window, it is a typical Jiangnan town, the scenery is very good.

They each rested in their rooms for a while, and when they got up, it was already evening, and they could go out for dinner.

The person in charge of the inn took everyone out to a small restaurant nearby for a meal.

The person in charge is called Liu Yue, a woman, thirty years old, very capable, and takes good care of the inn. Judging from these hotel leaders, Chu Yan is really a very discerning woman, but everyone under her seems to be very capable, whether it is a demon or a ghost.

Liu Yue is actually not a human, she is a half-human and half-demon person, she was originally a person, but after falling into the demon art, she became a half-demon, if Chu Yan hadn't helped her, she would have died a long time ago.

After dinner, the town near the water began to become beautiful, many corridors were lit up with red lanterns, and the shadows of red lanterns were printed in the water, making the whole world look extraordinarily dreamy.

Tang Yichuan did not let Liu Yue accompany him, but a group of them walked around the town.

Qin Yi is still very familiar with this town, he has been here a few times, so he took a few people to a more lively bar and sat for a while. The bar Qin Yi went to was also a more distinctive bar, a bar with a mixture of people, ghosts and demons.

When you enter this bar, it seems that whether you are a ghost or a demon, you have forgotten your identity, and they will get along very harmoniously.

Even if an exorcist or an onmyoji meets their rivals in such a place, they will never do anything with each other in this place.

This is the unwritten rule of this bar, because the few people who open this bar also have special identities and are people. Ghosts, demons, three bosses of the joint venture.

Who the specific boss is, in fact, almost no one knows at the moment, everyone doesn't know who the boss is, but they know what the rules are here.

This bar is not just fun. It's also the best place to listen to the news.

Because the cemetery auction was about to be held, many demons and ghosts gathered in this special bar, and as soon as he entered the door, Tang Yichuan heard the sound of talking about the cemetery auction.

I've heard that there are a lot of special things that will be auctioned at the cemetery auction, including luck, longevity, and the like.

It is precisely because there are many special auction items that this cemetery auction seems to attract a lot of special ghosts and monsters.

There are all kinds of things in the bar. Colored demons and monsters almost never deliberately hide their identities, so the scenery of this bar is very unique, with ghosts wearing clothes from various dynasties. There are also yokai in various forms, and many of them will be displayed in front of everyone in a comfortable body.

There was a croaking frog at the bar, and a red-crowned crane chatting with the frog next door.

Singing on the small stage is a female ghost wearing a Tang Dynasty costume, singing with great interest, and there is a snake demon on the dance floor that is generally a snake body and a human body is dancing.

It's like a gathering place for youkai, but the number of normal humans is decreasing.

After secretly listening to some ghostly talk for a while, Tang Yichuan and the others left in a low-key manner.

Walk inside the promenade by the water. Qin Yi said as he walked: "It seems that this auction is still quite lively, and many ghosts want to participate in the auction. And the things in the auction are also quite special, which is quite fun. ”

Tang Yichuan nodded, judging from the news he heard, there are indeed many monsters and ghosts who come here, and it seems that they all came here for the things here.

The cemetery auction was the first time Tang Yichuan had heard of it. Only ghosts and youkai can participate, and humans are not allowed to enter, especially onmyoji like them.

Lin Xiang asked as he walked, "Since only ghosts and monsters can enter, what should we do?" You don't have to go to the place to get intercepted, right? ”

"Makeup, pretending to be a youkai." Qin Yi said.

Tang Yichuan looked at Qin Yi's natural look and asked, "Have you ever done such a thing before?" ”

The corners of Qin Yi's mouth hooked. Nodding proudly, "I've been to an auction to track down a ghost, and from start to finish, I haven't been discovered." ”

"It's okay, you're still a very powerful onmyoji, can you really not be discovered?" Lin Xiang was a little incredulous, not to mention that the sense of ghosts is very sensitive, is it true that a human will not be found if he mixes in?

"Of course you can, it's okay to disguise yourself as a ghost, restrain the breath of the person on your body, and get a little ghost or monster breath, and no one will know that you are actually a person. The auction is just an auction, and it won't fight, so how can it be found out. Qin Yi said and looked at his watch, "It's about the same time, let's go find someone to try on the outfit, and then we can directly use that outfit to go to the cemetery tomorrow to shoot the horse club." ”

Qin Yi led the way in front, and the rest of the people followed Qin Yi to find the so-called master who could turn into a ghost.

After turning around and passing through some small alleys, Tang Yichuan and the others were taken to an old building that looked old and seemed to collapse at any time.

The things inside the old building are also very old, and on a bamboo chair that looks like it is about to fall apart sits a man in his fifties, weaving a straw sandal.

The room was a little dark, there was a damp musty smell, the floor was not a floor, not a concrete floor, or a mud floor, and there were a few small pheasants jumping over the corner.

Tang Yichuan glanced up, there were several tablets enshrined in the opposite place, lit a few incense, the incense was slowly smoking, and the words on the tablets were not very clear.

On the right, there is a staircase, narrow, dark, and without the slightest desire to go in. Hope.

Qin Yi was very respectful to the man in front of him, "Master Bai, I'm here again." I'm going to trouble you with help again. ”

Hearing Qin Yi's words, the man who was weaving straw shoes didn't move at all, he was still knitting the straw sandals in his hand by himself, and he didn't raise his head since Tang Yichuan and the others entered the door, as if he didn't feel that there was a stranger in his house at all.

"Doesn't he have a problem with his ears? Deaf? Lin Xiang looked down at this person, reached out and shook it twice in front of this person's eyes.

Qin Yi grabbed Lin Xiang and said. "Don't be rude to Master Bai."

The person known as Master Bai suddenly raised his head, Tang Yichuan saw that a pair of eyes were blind, and there should be no problem with his ears, but the problem was that pair of eyes, which obviously couldn't see anything.

"I'm not deaf. But I'm blind. Master Bai finished weaving the straw sandals before he spoke, "Are you going to the auction in the cemetery again?" I heard that this auction is not very fun, even if you use my makeup, you can only guarantee that you can go in, and I can't guarantee that you will come out alive. ”

"Naturally, you don't need to guarantee Master Bai to come out alive, we will do it ourselves. We just need to make sure we can get in. Qin Yi said.

"Okay." Master Bai stood up, "Those who are going, follow me upstairs." It's not all about going, are they? ”

Qin Yi glanced back at Tang Yichuan and asked Tang Yichuan.

"I, Zheng Xiuzen. The three of them can go to Baisha. Tang Yichuan thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate to go all together, especially Lin Xiang, Lin Xiang was completely dragging his feet when he went. It's not a day trip to the cemetery auction, so there's no need to take this person with you.

"Why can't we go?" As soon as Lin Xiang heard that he was excluded, he was immediately a little reluctant.

"There's no why." Tang Yichuan said.

Zheng Xiuchan didn't speak for Lin Xiang, and agreed with what Tang Yichuan said, after all, there are more people. The easier it is to be discovered, the more it is to be discovered. The three of them must have fled quickly, but it may not be possible to bring Lin Xiang with them.

Nalan Ning and Murong Qingshu are not suitable to go, and they are easy to be debunked.

However, Nalan Ning and Murong Qingshu had their own considerations, so even if they didn't go, they wouldn't say anything, they felt that Tang Yichuan's decision was right.

"Don't you two kids say anything?" Lin Xiang was a little depressed, and he wanted to go. When he said something against him, no one listened to him, and the two children didn't even have any idea.

Tang Yichuan, Qin Yi, Zheng Xiuchan. The four of Bai Sha followed Master Bai upstairs in front.

The stairs creaked and creaked, as if stepping on the stairs could be stepped on directly, and the four people considered the heaviness of the stairs, and they went up one by one, and did not dare to walk together.

When I got upstairs, there was still a damp, musty smell, not very pleasant.

However, the upstairs is much cleaner than the downstairs, after Master Bai turned on a light, the whole room is much brighter, there are several wardrobes here, the wardrobe is full of clothes from various dynasties, and there are some makeup tools that look different from ordinary makeup tools.

Master Bai looked back at the four of them, and then said to Zheng Xiuchan, "Are you sure you want to transform too?" I don't think that's necessary. ”

Master Bai's words were not unexpected, Tang Yichuan always felt that Zheng Xiuchan had an aura that did not belong to people, it could be a ghost, it could be a monster, even if it was a ghost, it might not be able to be recognized, Zheng Xiuchan was human.

In other words, Tang Yichuan sometimes felt that Zheng Xiuchan might not be a person at all.

In this case, it is true that there is no need to put on makeup to pretend to be a ghost or monster, and it is redundant to pretend again.

"Not really." Qin Yi also said the same after glancing at Zheng Xiuchan.

Zheng Xiuchan nodded, after he glanced at all the clothes here, he had no interest in putting on any makeup for a long time.

In fact, Tang Yichuan couldn't arouse any interest when he looked at the strange costumes here, the costumes here all looked like ancient costumes, and they looked like a nervous wreck.

"Pick the right outfit yourself." Master Bai said, "All of the ones on this hanger can be selected." ”

Tang Yichuan took a look, most of them were women's clothes, and the rest looked very cumbersome, the ancient costumes were very long, three layers inside and three layers outside, and it seemed to be particularly troublesome to wear.

In the end, Tang Yichuan took a fancy to a blue tunic suit, which looked quite okay, and he often wore it, so he could support a certain aura, and it wouldn't be too strange to wear.

What Bai Sha picked out was a set of white long dresses, which also suited her very well.

Qin Yi is the Qing Dynasty gown, plus a hat with long braids, which suits him well.

After a few glances at the dressing of the three of them, Master Bai didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, "It's okay, I'll put on some makeup for you later, and I won't have to come over tomorrow." Get used to it first. ”

After finishing speaking, Master Bai began to tidy up his makeup utensils, which looked similar to the things used by ordinary makeup artists, but many of the cosmetics were not ordinary cosmetics, and seemed to exude some yin qi and monster atmosphere.

These breaths are very strong, and they can completely cover up the breath of a person who exudes from a person.

After you are ready. Master Bai began to put on makeup for the three of them, the first one was Bai Sha, Bai Sha's face was very pale, and there was a red mark on his neck that the hanged ghost often carried, which should have been to let Bai Sha play the role of a hanged ghost.

After the white sand is Qin Yi, Qin Yi's face is also very white, after putting on a top, Qin Yi exudes a very powerful demonic aura, this demonic aura is quite special. It's very powerful, but it won't make people guess what kind of monster Qin Yi is at once, it will only make some ghosts and monsters dare not contact Qin Yi from a distance after they meet Qin Yi.

Master Bai thought very thoughtfully, afraid that Qin Yi would be too close to him by those ghosts, so he made his aura stronger, so that the ghosts would not dare to approach him, and his identity would not be discovered.

It was Tang Yichuan's turn, and as soon as he sat down and looked at the cosmetics in front of him, he had a little headache. What kind of makeup does a man wear, it's really uncomfortable to paste these messy things on his face.

Master Bai didn't care whether Tang Yichuan wanted it or not. As soon as he started to wipe things on Tang Yichuan's face, a few minutes later, Tang Yichuan saw that his face in the mirror had changed drastically.

The face was much paler than before, and besides, this face was a little invisible, a blurry shadow in the mirror. made him feel that he was no longer a human being, but a ghost.

This makeup technique is inevitably too strong.

"Alright." Master Bai said, "After the auction is over, the things on your faces will automatically fall, but in the past two days. They won't fall, they will always stay on your face, yin, demonic energy, these things will gradually penetrate your surface, making you more like ghosts and monsters. ”

"Thank you, Master Bai." Qin Yi said.

"No thanks, just get the money, old rules." Master Bai said in a cold tone.

Qin Yi smiled and looked at Tang Yichuan, asking Tang Yichuan to pay for it, "I don't have any money." ”

Tang Yichuan took out his pocket, and the cash on his body was only a few thousand, and Master Bai charged more expensive, three people had to charge 10,000, and only cash, after discussing, Tang Yichuan went to a bank on the side and took out the money and gave it to Master Bai.

Master Bai was very satisfied with the money, and explained a few things that should be paid attention to at the cemetery auction.

After returning to the inn, Tang Yichuan and the others successfully scared Liu Yue.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Yue almost didn't recognize Tang Yichuan and a few people, and Tang Yichuan opened his mouth to know that the person in front of him was Tang Yichuan.

Liu Yue didn't ask Tang Yichuan how the others were in such a situation now, she was a smart person, so she didn't ask more questions when she shouldn't ask, which Tang Yichuan liked very much.

"Sister Yue, how do we look?" Tang Yichuan asked.

"I can't tell it's a human, it's a ghost." Liu Yue said.

"That's right, it seems to be working pretty well." Tang Yichuan nodded, although he was a little dissatisfied with Master Bai's charging price, but this effect was indeed very good, I don't know what the cosmetics Master Bai used on them looked very special.

Several people went back to their rooms, and Qin Yi followed Tang Yichuan into Tang Yichuan's room.

Qin Yi said: "Discuss the details of tomorrow? ”

"Okay." Tang Yichuan has no opinion, he knows that Qin Yi has his own things to do tomorrow, so he may not accompany them the whole process, he, Zheng Xiuchan and Bai Sha still have to rely on their own strength to get what they want.

dictated the general situation of tomorrow's cemetery to Tang Yichuan, and at the same time, Qin Yi also told Tang Yichuan that he should be separated from them as soon as he entered, and he needed to wait alone in the corner for the appearance of the guy he was looking for, and even if Tang Yichuan and the others had something, he would definitely not go out to help.

"Is there anything in particular that should be noticed?" Tang Yichuan asked Qin Yi.

"The most important thing to pay attention to is, of course, not to reveal your identity. The ghosts in the cemetery auction are very aggressive, and because of this, there are never any humans in the auction, and only ghosts and monsters are allowed to appear in the auction, and once humans appear, these ghosts will unite to deal with humans. A long time ago, there were actually people at this sub-auction, but the person who appeared that time was an onmyoji, and he went to the cemetery auction to hunt down a few youkai. Because the onmyoji appeared and the auction was destroyed, many ghosts and monsters were wiped out, so the ghosts have always hated humans. Believe me, the ghosts in that place are more united than the ghosts anywhere else, and they are absolutely capable of killing you if they find out that you are an onmyoji. There is a lot of power in numbers. Our two fists are also difficult to defeat the opponent's four hands......" Qin Yi told Tang Yichuan everything he knew.

After Tang Yichuan understood the general situation, he also understood how he should deal with these things at that time.

In any case, you must not reveal your identity when the time comes.

Once their identities are exposed, they will definitely be unlucky.

Qin Yi finished what he was going to say and left, and he still had to deal with some other things about himself.

Zheng Xiuchan also came over to chat with Tang Yichuan alone for a while, but Zheng Xiuchan is not a person who talks a lot, he just stood by the door and listened to Tang Yichuan when he entered the door, and Tang Yichuan told Zheng Xiuchan about what Qin Yi said.

In the evening, several people rested.

During the day the next day, according to what Qin Yi said, he would step on the spot first. Find the location of the cemetery and determine where the cemetery auction will be held.

The cemetery auction uses a different entrance every year, so it may not be possible to find it if you go there temporarily.

Under the scorching sun, several people went to the cemetery.

It was a cemetery on a mountain, full of graves, and as soon as they entered the place where there were graves everywhere, a group of people felt very obviously that the yin qi here was very strong.

This abnormally thick yin qi means that there are already a lot of ghosts here.

Qin Yi turned around, pointed to a grave and said, "This is the entrance to last year's auction. ”

Tang Yichuan glanced at it. The graves here are actually not much different, there are very many graves. The number is not clear.

Tang Yichuan didn't know much about where the entrance to the auction was and what it would look like, so he could only ask Qin Yi to find it, Qin Yi knew more about what was here.

After a few minutes, Qin Yi said, "It should be here." ”

In front of Qin Yi was a tomb built into a small house. It is very exquisitely made, and it looks like a tomb that has only been built in recent years.

"I saw a ghost just now, and I said it should be here. This year's auction will be held in this tomb because it is more luxuriously built. Its villa is nice. Qin Yi said.

Tang Yichuan glanced at it, and it was on the edge of this tomb. There is a charred paper villa, and it doesn't look like it took very long to make it. The auction should have been held in this villa.

The ghost life here is quite happy, especially the family is good to the deceased, burning the paper villa, burning the maid and servant, the ghost life is much happier than the human life.

"It's too early, the auction hasn't started yet." Suddenly, an old voice came, and Tang Yichuan and the others were taken aback.

After a closer look, I found that there was an extra beggar ghost on the side of the tomb, and I looked up at them.

"When does it start?" Qin Yi asked.

"Nine o'clock in the evening." The beggar ghost said, "You are not allowed to enter now." ”

Tang Yichuan and the others all nodded, and suddenly there was a suona sound in front of them, and the beggar ghost began to drive Tang Yichuan and the others away.

"Don't stay here. Get in the way, go to the auction and come back in the evening. The beggar ghost banged Tang Yichuan and a few people walked away, stood up from the ground, waved his hand twice on the tombstone, and suddenly a flash gate formed behind the tombstone.

The sound of suona became closer and closer, and then, several paper figures flew into the gate carrying a certain sedan chair.

The gate was covered up again.

Qin Yi asked, "Brother Ghost, who is that?" The pomp and circumstance is quite big. ”

"The seller who sold the life this time." The beggar ghost glanced at Qin Yi twice with a look at the turtle, "You can go, don't waste time here, if you want to grab something, you have to wait until the evening, at this time, except for the seller, no one is allowed to enter." ”

Tang Yichuan and a few people were directly driven away by the beggar ghosts.

"Sell life." Qin Yi muttered after leaving the forest, "You're so bold, who do you say has the ability to sell their life here?" (To be continued......)
