Chapter Seventy-Eight: Ghost City (4)

After several years of investigating criminal cases, Wu Cheng always likes to carefully stare at the things that make him suspicious, and Jiang Xin's ghost market is of course no exception, and it is almost impossible to find clues among the buyers and sellers with such a tight package. It's strange to say that ghost market sellers abound, and buyers have not seen other buyers except for Xiao Ye, Wu Ji and One-eye.

Only selling, not buying, how can it be called a "market"? The young master muttered in his heart and asked One-Eyed:

"One-eyed, why haven't you seen any buyers?"

One-eyed did not answer in a hurry, but looked up at the moon in the sky that was close to the full moon in the western half of the day, and then said: "The hour has not yet come, and the seller has come less than thirty percent." If you change to a land ghost market, the scale you see now is less than 10%. ”

"It's less than four hours before dawn, and you're not here yet? Wait for dawn? Wu Xi asked curiously.

"The brighter the sky, the more prosperous the ghost market is." One-eyed answered.

"Why?" The young master asked puzzledly.

"At this time of the day, the yin energy is at its peak, the muscles and bones and skin are called yang, and the spirit and soul are called yin. This is one of the three principles of ghost market. One-Eyed said it, although it was impossible to verify the truth or falsehood, it sounded reasonable. Especially this theory of yin and yang, Wu regret is the first time to hear it, the master can often hear it from a certain master in modern society, and today listening to the one-eyed explanation, he was ashamed to regard the theory of yin and yang as a liar before.

"Yin and Yang are only said to be original or learned by you?" If you want to compare when people are smart, Xiao Ye is more interested in origin.

"Learn, of course. And I learned it from the ghost king, if all the lanterns were lined up, that night would be the night of the ghost king's teaching. I've only encountered it once in the past seven years, but unfortunately I was told that the level was too low to participate. One-eyed said regretfully.

The young master was shocked when he heard this, there were more and more clues, and the more confused his understanding of the ghost king became. Wu regret is also puzzled, but according to his usual set, he despises the Seven Ghost Kings, in his opinion, the Ghost King is a charlatan who is accustomed to brainwashing and other measurements, but he forgot that the ghost king's deception has been more than ten years.

"The ghost king has a lot of leisure?" Wu said sarcastically.

"Brother Wu regrets that there are thorns in his words, the ghost king is indeed like this, do you believe it or not!" One-eyed heard Wu Xi's contempt and responded casually.

"The ghost king is such a scholar, and it is really condescending to proclaim himself a "king". Wu regret then sarcastically.

While the three of them were talking, the ferry boat was already on the west side of the ghost market passing through the middle of the ghost market, but there was no white wolf in sight.

The name of the white wolf comes from the fact that no matter where the ghost market is, it hangs white lanterns that are darker than other sellers, and the word "wolf" is written on it, and buyers who do not know the reason often think that it is selling wolf skins and the like, and they are often teased by the white wolf when they ask.

White wolf makes a market, and rules come first. Just contact the killer and the hired murderer, never ask the reason, let alone right or wrong, as for the information of the hired murderer, the white wolf has never remembered let alone earn extra money by buying and selling.

I don't know why One-Eye thought of the bad idea of letting the master personally buy the information of the hired murderer through the white wolf, with the principle of the white wolf, this is obviously embarrassing himself.

"The white wolf probably hasn't arrived yet." One-Eye almost stood up, looking around for the lights on the river.

"It's better to wait until it's almost dawn." The master suggested.

"Not impossible." One-Eye hurriedly sat down and answered.

"If you take a one-night ferry, six taels of silver is not enough. An additional six taels of silver were to be paid. The boatman heard that the three were going to wait all night, and said hurriedly.

"Boatman, didn't you take away a jade ring last time? I'm afraid I can't buy it even for a hundred taels of silver. The master asked.

"Last time was last time, this time is this time. If you know you're going to have to ferry all night, there's no one to take you. Besides, the jade ring was given to me by the master, not paid. The ferryman said with a strong tugging logic, and his voice was a little loud, disturbing the quiet sellers around, and they all raised their heads to look at the package with only their noses and eyes. The actions of the surrounding sellers made Xiao Ye and Wu Cheng instantly nervous, holding the short sword in their hands, trying to see the faces of the surrounding sellers clearly, they could only see the black holes under the package, and even the candlelight of the lantern could not reach the black holes.

"Are they human?" The master thought in his heart, and he was suddenly frightened! couldn't help but look at Wu regret beside him.

Wu regret seemed to be as frightened as the master, but he didn't turn his head, but stared at the face of the seller closest to him who could never be seen clearly.

"Hey, don't look at it, if you don't give me any more money, I'll row back to the shore!" Ferryman

"The boatman has long been penniless, and he can temporarily mortgage other things here, and redeem them when he is dealt with."

"Yes, but I don't know what else you can have." One-eyed answered.
