Chapter 18: The Ghost Market (Part II)
It is said that on a specific day, the dead ghosts appear collectively, forming a bazaar between ghosts and ghosts, and the place where the ghost market appears, often means that many people have died there.
According to legend, if a living person accidentally enters the ghost market, he must abide by three rules, first: do not make a sound; Second: you can't go to see the things that the ghosts sell, if you look at them, they will make you buy them, and then you can't do without them; Third: Don't stare into the eyes of ghosts, or they will find out that you are alive.
And at this time, in front of the tofu, there is a miserable ghost market, and the miserable green ghost fire illuminates the faces of those ghosts, not to mention how terrifying. At this time, the corpse fairy didn't stop at all, and walked straight into the ghost market.
Tofu subconsciously wanted to stop it, but only with a mouth did he remember the taboo about the ghost market, so he didn't dare to make a sound, only anxious and afraid in the same place, secretly scolded the corpse fairy for being too greedy, and co-authored it was to open meat, but there are so many soft zongzi in this place, what if the corpse fairy steals the chicken and does not lose the rice?
Tofu is entangled here, but the corpse fairy does not stop at all, and walks into the ghost market, like a leisurely stroll, without the slightest intention of eating a lot, it seems that he is really just passing by. This ghost market is very 'lively', very long, bustling, seeing that the figure of the corpse fairy is about to disappear, Tofu became anxious, and said that this place does not distinguish the path, and there is a ghost market ahead, if you are separated from the corpse fairy, then you must not be scared to death.
Speaking of which, I have to say that people are such a strange thing, in fact, many times, things that are ugly and scary on the outside are not necessarily dangerous, and things that are beautiful on the outside are not necessarily safe. Tofu is alone at this time, and subconsciously relies on the corpse fairy, but forgets that the corpse fairy is actually a super big zongzi, but it doesn't look so terrifying on the outside.
Seeing that the corpse fairy was about to disappear, Tofu anxiously looked at the dark woods around him, and finally could only grit his teeth, lower his head, and only focus on the chin of those soft zongzi, and he didn't dare to breathe, and hurriedly chased after the corpse fairy.
At this time, he was still carrying Ouyang Xuan on his back, and he had been carrying it for a short time, he was already exhausted, Tofu thought, he couldn't carry it anymore, and he turned around and went out of the ghost market, if she didn't wake up, he could only use some rough methods to wake her up. I estimated that I had figured out the tofu, and I knew the gap between myself and Ouyang Xuan, so I was completely dead, and the twenty-eighth spring was sold out.
The corpse fairy didn't walk fast, so Tofu caught up with the person in a few clicks, and as soon as he arrived next to the corpse fairy, Tofu had a sense of security, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the corpse fairy forward. With a backer, Tofu became bolder, and Tofu wondered why the corpse fairy didn't smoke these soft rice dumplings, and at the same time secretly went to check the situation of the ghost market. The faces of these soft zongzi are very blurred, but they can be vaguely seen with high noses and deep eyes, wide faces and wide mouths, with Mongolian facial features, and the costumes they wear are more peculiar, which seems to be wrapped in cloth, which is about the special clothes worn when they die.
The ghost market is very quiet, from time to time the wind blows, Tofu looked at it for a while, afraid of being discovered, and didn't dare to look more, only concentrated on following the corpse fairy, looking at it, I don't know how long this ghost market is.
At this moment, at one of the locations of the ghost market, Tofu suddenly found a building.
The building seemed to appear suddenly, and in the gloomy green light, it looked eerie, and most of the parts were shrouded in darkness, and it was impossible to see how big it was, except for an open stone door, and there were 'people' coming and going in and out of the doorway.
Tofu has a rich imagination, and his heart says that this ghost is in and out of it, could it be a ghost gate? Could it be that this door leads to the underworld? He couldn't help but look at it twice, and saw that on the door, there were a lot of strange beast patterns carved, the lines were bright red like blood, very eye-catching, and there was a thing squatting directly above the door.
Tofu took a closer look and couldn't help but be shocked, and said in his heart: Isn't this the snorting duo engraved on the Shenmu square ear card? How did it appear on the door? Could it be that this is not a ghost gate, but a ......
Without waiting for Tofu to think about it, suddenly, he felt the person on his body move, and then Ouyang Xuan's voice sounded in his ears: "What is this place......
Tofu stiffened, turned his head, stared at Ouyang Xuan's hazy and dazed gaze, opened his mouth, and couldn't say a word. At this moment, the 'people' who came and went in the ghost market and the 'people' who set up the stalls stopped their movements at this moment, and then they raised their heads, and their vague grimaces turned towards the tofu and the people on the back of the tofu.
And Ouyang Xuan also came to her senses at this time, saw the situation in front of her clearly, and suddenly burst out with a scream.
"Ah——!h Tofu covered her mouth, slammed the person down, and pushed it in front of the corpse fairy. I didn't know the next qiē, and for a while, the wind was fierce, and there was a sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling around him, and countless distorted ghost shadows rushed towards him in unison.
At that moment, Tofu had no way to resist, squatted on the ground suddenly, closed his eyes, held his head in both hands, and trembled.
After shaking for a long time, but I didn't feel anything else, and finally Tofu couldn't help but open his eyes.
There is still a ghost market around, only a forest remains, the only difference is that the forest is not so dark. Tofu looked at the watch on his wrist: five o'clock in the morning...... It is when the sun rises and the dawn breaks.
Perhaps because of the dawn breaking, in that instant, the ghost market disappeared.
Tofu sat on the ground with his buttocks slumped, his legs trembling, and Ouyang Xuan, estimated that he saw the scene of a group of ghosts rushing towards Tofu, he couldn't bear it, and he fainted in fright. Tofu shook on the spot for a long time before he took a deep breath, got up from the ground, grabbed the face of the corpse fairy with both hands without saying a word, and scolded the corpse fairy with a bloody head: "You turtle bastard, you don't eat, why do you break into the ghost market if you have nothing to do?" Yes? Is it fun? If you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to uncover the tiles, and if you don't fight today, you will not know why the flowers are so red! After that, it was a punch and kick.
What is the Corpse Fairy around? After the tofu was beaten, he held his hand and screamed, and finally understood that he was not the opponent of the corpse fairy, so he picked up Ouyang Xuan again to find the way. He climbed a tree, stood on a high place and judged the general direction, and then found the right direction and ran back. In the process, Tofu suddenly discovered that there was something not far away.
It was a big rock.
You know, in such a desert terrain, it is difficult to have such a big rock.
There are still some parts of the big stone that are buried under the sand, and the exposed places are yellow, obviously after a long time of wind and rain, the surface is mottled, and Tofu feels strange, how can there be stones in this place? So he went up to take a look, and suddenly saw that this big stone was arched, a bit like a C, and the inner place may have experienced less wind and rain, so some traces could be faintly seen, and there were some beast inscriptions carved on it, and the strange shape reminded Tofu of the 'Ghost Gate' that he had seen not long ago.
When Zhang Wen heard this, he interrupted Tofu's words and said, "Where this ghost market appears, there must be a large number of dead people, and that remnant big stone, Bacheng is the building you see in the ghost market. ”
Tofu said: "No, I think so too, and there is a snort on the building, and I said in my heart that the eight achievements are what Zhen Rui is looking for, so I rushed back non-stop." Tofu said as he waved his hand to the silent Zhen Rui and said, "Don't thank me too much, please call me the red scarf." ”
Zhen Rui raised his eyebrows, this time he didn't deliberately ignore the tofu, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and said, "I will give you a credit this time." ”
Zhong Gong said in a low voice: "Master, it seems that we have to go to that place to have a look." ”
I said, "Finally, I have a clue, I have to go, but we have to ease the injury first." "Tofu tossed all night, very tired, but because we were injured this time more severely and had difficulty moving, Tofu forced himself to build up the half-pitched tent, moved our new camp away from the pile of dead bodies of the yellow tiger, and divided the medicine and food, and then retreated into the tent to sleep.
Zhong Gong smiled: "I can't see it, he is usually lazy and slippery, it seems that this will not be, that will not be, I didn't expect this time to be quite powerful." I smiled and didn't speak. In fact, tofu is not impossible, his philosophy is that those who can work harder, even if they can, they must pretend that they can't, so that the people around you will naturally help you do it well. If you know everything, then you must become a hard laborer, and to put it bluntly, he is lazy.
Now except for him, all of us are injured, and he can't be lazy even if he wants to, although he moves slowly and makes a mess, but fortunately, he has also placed us injured patients. In this way, everyone recuperated in the same place for a few days, during which Tofu kept patrolling around with guns in order to prevent any danger.
Ouyang Xuanqing was not so excited, but she covered her face with a windproof towel, probably because she didn't want Zhen Rui to see her appearance. Zhen Rui comforted her twice, and said a few words that were neither salty nor light, such as not disliking her appearance, which moved Ouyang Xuan to tears.
Tofu also woke up from this unreliable relationship, he occasionally looked at Ouyang Xuan, and just muttered silently: "What's so good about yin and yang faces, what doesn't care about your appearance, it's a lie when you hear it, silly girl, how can you believe it." Lao Chen, I only found out now that women are fools. ”
I nodded and said, "Yes, they know that they have been deceived, but they still go for the one percent possibility, what, do you want to wake her up?" ”
Tofu shook his head and said: "Don't say cool words, I've figured it out, the twenty-eighth spring, the past is over, I believe that my real daughter-in-law is still waiting for me in the future, I want to make myself stronger and protect her in the future!" ”
I laughed in my heart, but it didn't dampen his self-confidence, I began to close my eyes and recuperate, and after four days of rest, our wounds were scabbed, and our movements were fine, and according to the plan, we were going to explore the place where the ghost market appeared tomorrow. I don't know how he treats others, but at least he is benevolent to me, and I can only hope that tomorrow will be rewarding, and I will solve the matter of Hu Duo for him as soon as possible, so as to avoid pain.
