I pushed the car door open and walked over to the old man, and I looked at my watch. It's around 4:30 p.m., which is converted into the hour or Shen time, which happens to be the time when yin and yang intersect, and the yin and yang qi between heaven and earth are in a state of equilibrium, which is the time when evil things are ready to move, but if they are not necessary, they will not appear easily. In another half an hour, the yin and yang qi between heaven and earth will be yin and yang, so why should the evil thing come out at this time and let his skills be greatly reduced?

To be on the safe side, I took a special look at the old man's feet. His old shoes had already made footprints on the ground, and he couldn't be a ghost.

When I got closer, I saw that the old man had kept his head down, but he was actually watching the ants move. I just glanced at the ant and asked, "Uncle, can I ask you about something?" ”

The old man, who was watching the ants move intently, said absentmindedly: "What's the matter, just say it." ”

I asked, "Is there a place here called Baliying?" ”

"This is the Bali Battalion."

The old man said: "In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, when the Taiping Army was disturbed, Changmaozi built a military camp here. I heard that when the number of people was the highest, the barracks were all discharged for eight miles. That's how the Bali Camp came about. ”

The old man took a crutch and slashed to the ground: "This barren meadow is the Bali Camp back then. The elders said that this place was originally loess, and nothing grows. Later, the Qing soldiers exterminated the long-haired son, and the blood of the long-haired man stained all the Bali camp, and the Qing soldiers did not allow the corpse to be collected, saying that they wanted to expose the body to the wilderness. But the next day, the whole camp was overgrown with wild grass more than a man high, and all the bodies of the hairy men were covered. ”

The old man pointed around with a cane: "Look at it, there is only the Bali Camp Chang grass around here, and there is no grass in other places, and only the soil of the Bali Camp is red." ”

I stretched out my foot and scratched the ground, and the soil under the wild grass was dark red, but everywhere else it was all loess.

I asked again, "Uncle, do you know that there is a triangle surrounded by a road around here?" ”

The old man gave me a blank look: "Nonsense. How can there be such a place! ”

"Thank you." I got into the car and said, "Drive into the grass." ”

According to the location drawn on the invitation, the scope of the Ghost Triangle should be directly east of Baliying. But my view was completely blocked by the weeds, and I didn't know how to be due east. I can only tentatively go into the wild grass.

Tan Yue drove the off-road vehicle and walked forward through the barren grass for a long time, and suddenly said, "Why is the old man gone?" ”

I looked sideways in the rearview mirror, and the old man was gone.

I said in a deep voice, "Go back and see." ”

Tan Yue had just hung up the reverse gear, and I heard Ni Yuanyuan shout: "Look at the ants on the ground!" ”

I looked in the direction of Ni Yuanyuan's finger, and saw swarms of black ants busily moving in and out of the grass. Tan Yue lightly wheeled, and the jeep immediately turned in the direction of the ant colony, and after the wheels overwhelmed a piece of wild grass, a corpse in old-fashioned clothing was also revealed underneath.

The old man?

Although the corpse had been bitten beyond recognition by ants, the shoes on his feet were exactly the same as the one who had just spoken.

Just now he wasn't watching the ants move, but watching the ants move their own flesh little by little.

"Shhh

Before it gets dark, ghosts can appear in front of other people's eyes in a grand manner, either the ghosts are too strong, or the yin energy here is vigorous, and a layer of qi has been formed to protect the ghosts, and the ghosts stand nearby, not only are they not afraid of the sun, but they are not even afraid of colliding with the yang energy on the person.

In retrospect, there was something wrong with the clothes the old man was wearing.

In the early years, when the old people in the Northeast died, many people used the kind of black cloth clothes similar to the Zhongshan suit as a shroud, and they also had to put paper ashes in the four pockets of the clothes to use as road money.

Moreover, the crutches in the old man's hand are also bamboo crutches. According to the custom of burial, that thing can be used instead of a dog beating stick made of bamboo poles to fight the vicious dogs that block the road. Some fastidious people still like to use bamboo crutches instead of dog sticks.

I was pecked in the eye by geese all year round, and a ghost was put in a fierce position.

The old man was close to me just now, but I didn't see that the other party was a ghost at all, which could only prove that the yin qi on his body was covered by the earth qi. Bali Camp won't be a good place to go!

"I'll go down and have a look."

Tan Yue wanted to push the door and get out of the car, but I reached out and stopped her: "Don't move yet!" ”

I took out the invitation card from my body, and when I looked down, I saw that the red dot marked Bali Camp seemed to be soaked in blood, and the red blood halo spread from all around the red dot, covering the entire invitation in an instant. The triangular sign in the middle of the invitation card quickly became bloody.

I said in a deep voice: "The Ghost Triangle is right in the middle of the Bali Camp. Drive forward! ”

Tan Yue immediately increased the accelerator and drove the car into the barren meadow. After the car drove some distance, a figure appeared in the grass on both sides of the car.

The men, all dressed in tawny clothes, lurked motionless into the grass, peeking out of the gaps in the grass and staring at the car intensely. When I tried to turn my head to take a closer look, the figure disappeared under my nose without a trace, leaving only a swaying blade of grass.

Ni Yuanyuan suppressed her voice: "I seem to see someone behind the car......"

"Treat it as if you didn't see it! I was really scared, so I closed my eyes...... "As I was talking, there was a sudden slight tremor from under the car, and Tan Yue also stepped on the brakes.

Although the car stopped, the body seemed to be pressed against a layer of suspended wooden planks, and it shook up and down.

When Tan Yue turned his head to look at me, I said in a deep voice, "Move forward and try." ”

Tan Yue gently loosened the clutch, but there was a loud noise under the car, and I only felt that my eyes were sharply shifted from top to bottom, and my eyes suddenly became dark. When I stabilized myself, I realized that the jeep had just been pressed against a wooden plank that could move at one end. Now the plank sank into the ground, and the whole body was pressed against the slope, and it could not move except to slide down the slope to the ground.

"Sit tight!" When the front of the jeep slammed down, Tan Yue had already stepped on the brakes, controlling his speed as much as possible, and letting the car slowly slide to the ground.

By the time the car stopped, a military camp had appeared in front of us. There were more than 100 ancient military tents in the camp, and at the door of each tent stood a brazier made of three logs.

A small part of the brazier was lit with fire, but most of it was silent.

I looked up by the light of the fire in the camp, and five or six meters above my head was a large steel frame, and the so-called ghost triangle should be a camp built underneath.

The vacant space in the middle of the camp is probably a square for buyers to trade. It's just that there is no one there now.

As soon as I saw the scene in the camp, I saw two men dressed in black and wearing masks on their heads walking towards us: "Get out of the car! Cars are not allowed to enter the camp, just leave them here, and we have someone to take care of them. Where's your invitation? ”

After I got out of the car, I handed over the invitation, and the other party took it in his hand and looked at it, "That's right, it's the invitation we sent." Where are your goods? ”

I was about to say that I didn't bring the goods, but I swallowed back when the words came to my lips. People who come and go to the ghost market are all for trading, and even if they are the managers of the ghost market, they will not have the attitude they should have towards buyers if they ask for goods directly.

Could it be that the dead Yuan Chengle is not a buyer, but a seller in the ghost market?

My eyes lit up, and I secretly wondered in my heart: buyers and sellers, how can they distinguish between them? Is it by invitation?

I was silent for only two or three seconds, and the other party's voice already brought a trace of killing intent in it: "You come to the ghost market to trade, you won't even have goods, right?" How did you get the invitations? ”

I said in a deep voice: "The goods are on us, it's just that it's inconvenient to show you." ”

"As long as you can prove that you have the goods, you can go in. As for what you're selling, we don't care. Although the other party's tone was much softened, he was still on guard.
