Chapter 281: Ghost Day
Bustling with tourists.
Lin Chen looked at the bustling street in front of him in surprise.
Looking up, the sun is shining.
All around, the streets are full of merchants who pick up and sell goods.
It doesn't look like a ghost town at all, but rather like a town that has disappeared into history.
Everyone's face was full of happiness and beauty, and even the eyes of their group were full of kindness.
Suddenly, an impatient call came from behind Lin Chen.
"Oops! Don't stay here, block my business," a shirtless merchant pulled Lin Chen's clothes, completely unaware that this kind of clothes in front of him should not exist in this kind of world at all, just urging Lin Chen and the others not to affect his business.
"Is it a correction of consciousness?" Lin Chen was unmoved, and said thoughtfully.
Seeing that Lin Chen didn't move, the merchant was anxious, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Hey! You bunny! Believe it or not, I'm calling people! Yao'an Town is not a place for you gangs to mess around! ”
"That's it! It is! This is Yao'an Town! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Go and shout the errand! ”
"Don't delay our business! Let's go! Youngster! ”
……
The shouts around the excitement were also louder than loud, and even a few enthusiastic people had already come up and were ready to push Lin Chen and the others away.
Lin Chen sighed, pressed it with his hand, and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Fathers and fellow villagers are quiet and quiet, we are just tourists from other places, and we are a little surprised by your prosperity, I don't mean to disturb you, we will leave immediately." ”
Lin Chen's words were reasonable, and his tone was full of politeness.
When everyone heard this, they didn't surround it, and slowly dispersed.
And Lin Chen also took the opportunity to pull the seller aside, and before he could speak, a piece of gold the size of a little knuckle was stuffed into his hand.
All this gold was prepared by the state for these soldiers who went deep behind enemy lines, that is, to bribe the enemy people at a convenient time.
In this regard, pilots in particular are the majority.
And the seller did go to the road, glanced at the gold, pinched it and put it into his arms, and said with a smile on his face, "A few distinguished guests, do you have anything you want to ask the little one?" The little ones know everything and say everything! ”
"It's not a big deal, the first time I came to such a good town, it was an introduction, and by the way, I would like to talk about the rules of the town and the recent events." Lin Chen's tone was gentle, and he patted the merchant's shoulder.
"Hey! You're asking the right person! The merchant patted his chest, "My second brother Wang is a native of Yao'an Town, and my ancestors have been here for eight lifetimes, if you are looking for other people, it is really not as good as I said!" ”
"This Yao'an Town, although it is a town, but the area is huge, the transportation is convenient, and it is the most important thing, forty miles away is a military camp, and there are two Yao'an sailors in the waterway."
"But if you talk about the most famous one, it's the upcoming festival."
"Holidays?" Wei Mu glanced up and saw that there were incense candles, masks, and lanterns everywhere.
"Yes, Halloween." The merchant said mysteriously, "As far as I know, there is no such festival within a radius of hundreds of miles, only here." ”
For a while, everyone's spirits trembled.
Here it is, here comes the point.
Pray for Halloween.
That doesn't sound right.
"Wang Lao Er, why is it called this Ghost Day? It's not usually about praying to God, Buddha, or anything like that. Lin Chen remained silent, and asked as usual on the surface.
"This little one is not too clear, but according to what my grandfather said, this was an ancient battlefield in the past, and hundreds of thousands of people died here, which is a terrible breath, and not a single living person can be seen in a good place." Wang Lao Er said with palpitations, "So in this place, if you ask God to worship Buddha, it is better to worship ghosts quickly." ”
"Oh? So how did you get to be like this? Lin Chen looked around, where there was half a bit of ghostly energy.
"That's still our true one to teach the immortals and real people," Wang Lao Er gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "That's the great benefactor of Yao'an Town, one person killed the whole place, and after sweeping it clean, he sat down on the spot, bless the peace of this area with his divine power." ”
"So it's not so much a ghost worship, but a worship of the soul of a real person."
For a while, Wei Mu and the others were thoughtful.
"Hey, speaking of which, guest officer, take two masks," Wang Lao Er also felt that his words were not worth the gold, and pulled out a few masks and said, "Halloween is still a bit dangerous after all, you can be safer by wearing a mask, as the old saying goes, what the ghost is most afraid of is this kind of blue-faced and fanged mask." ”
Lin Chen looked at this mask, it looked like it was made of thick cardboard, but the blue-faced fangs were quite realistic, and after looking at it, he asked, "Then when will this festival start." ”
"Five days later, after the feathering of the immortals, where to build a Taoist temple, five days later, in the middle of the night, after the Taoist temple began to light incense and candles, everyone put on masks and came out to sit, listen to music and singing, juggling and storytelling, and it lasted for three days."
"Ghost play," Lin Chen understood at once, singing and listening to music in the second half of the night, living people love to listen to it, and ghosts also love to listen to it.
That's probably where Halloween comes in.
When the time comes, there will be a mixture of people and ghosts, how many people will be contaminated with ghosts, heh, I'm afraid this Halloween is not that simple.
"Is there anything else going on?" Lin Chen asked casually.
"Well, it's gone, it's just that the old mountain in the east hasn't let people come recently, saying that the mountain is in danger of collapsing." Wang Lao Er smiled, afraid that the gold in his hand would be taken back.
Lin Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go, it's okay." ”
"Hey, good guest officer!"
……
Thirty minutes later, the group found a restaurant.
After booking a room, Wei Mu and the others hurriedly formed a circle.
"Lin Chen, I don't know if you have a feeling that something is suppressing our cultivation." Wei Mu said solemnly, "At the very least, I can only use thirty percent of my strength. ”
Lin Chen was quite surprised, but then he understood that he was a beginner, and he was different from them.
"Do you see any clues about this ghost town?" Wei Mu then asked.
But the crowd just shook their heads blankly.
Along the way, everyone here was smiling from the bottom of their hearts.
You can't even find hypocrisy.
"Is it possible that it is an illusion?" One of the team members suggested.
"It's not an illusion," Xu Jiuzhi sighed, "I don't even doubt that someone used their great magical powers to cut off a fragment of time and space in history, and then gradually evolved into this place." ”
"It's not that mysterious." Lin Chen shook his head, "Something will definitely happen in five days, don't forget, before us, there was a group of God's people who went in, but they didn't even see a sound." ”
After saying this, for a while, everyone felt a chill in the back of their heads.
Oh, yes.
