Chapter Eighty-Three: Ghost City Taboo!
"Uncle Wang?"
After confirming that it was Uncle Wang who was hit by himself, Xu Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, anyway, Lao Wangtou is not an ordinary person, and it is not easy to die if he bumps into it casually.
Wrong!
According to Liu Shishi, Lao Wang Tou is not "angry" and is not a living person.
So......
He may not be human!
Xu Yang stepped forward, helped the old king's head, and said, "I just got distracted and didn't pay attention...... Uncle Wang, what are you doing suddenly jumping in front of my car? This kind of ghost probe behavior is the most likely to cause accidents."
Wang: "???"
scolded and scolded, "Now that you hit me, do you still blame me? If I had known this, I shouldn't have helped you stop the people on the mountain road...... Let them kill you boy and count the ball!"
"The people from Lushan Road are here again?"
When Xu Yang heard this, he immediately invited Lao Wangtou into the funeral shop to ask, but Lao Wangtou waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry...... The people of Lushan Road have been frightened away by me, and within a year, they will not dare to trouble you again."
"You don't have to thank me, it's your grandfather's last hand...... But you can't be careless, your Pure Ming Dao is now in decline, and the Taishang Pure Ming Seal is in your hands again, and Lu Mountain Dao will definitely do whatever it takes to get this thing."
"Just because they don't dare to come doesn't mean they won't look for someone else."
"Oh?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Yang's eyes couldn't help flashing, and he said, "Lushan Dao is also a big sect of Daomen, a famous and righteous way, could it be that they will hire a killer to deal with me?"
"What's wrong with the decent family?"
The old king looked at Xu Yang with a sneer, and said, "There are more hypocrites in the famous and decent families...... Huh?"
However, at this moment, the whole person stood up with a brush, his eyes widened, and he stared at Xu Yang and said, "Qi Refining Realm Eightfold...... You're already in the eightfold Qi Refining Realm?"
Seeing Xu Yang nodding, Lao Wang couldn't believe it, and said in surprise: "Impossible...... It's only been a few days, and you've refined the Qi Realm Eightfold? I know your roots...... Even if I had the opportunity to step into cultivation, I would never have been able to do so quickly."
If you have something to worry about, you can't say it.
Xu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Could it be because of ...... I'm cultivating harder?"
To prove this, he added, "During this time, I stayed up all night every day, practicing talisman making during the day and all night at night...... Some small improvements, right?"
"Reasonable, uncle!"
Lao Wang's eyes widened: "It's hard to cultivate, it's hard to cultivate...... Do you think this sentence is uttered out of thin air? Many people have been cultivating for several years, but they may not be able to cultivate from the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm to the Eighth Realm, and you have only been able to cultivate for a few days?"
The old man doubted his life for a moment, and then said, "In that case, there is no need to wait until the first day of the next month...... I happen to be going to the ghost market to get some groceries, so you can come with me tomorrow."
From Yang Yin's mouth, Xu Yang already knew when the ghost market would open.
Two cities in January, the first and fifteenth days of the new year.
For the ghost market, Xu Yang has been yearning for a long time, and nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll go back and get ready, and I'll come to you tomorrow night."
The old king was in a hurry and was about to go back, he came to the door of the funeral shop, but he stopped again, went backwards, looked up at the staircase on the second floor, frowned and said, "You kid has a ghost at home?" ….
"This ......"
Xu Yang could only bite the bullet and say, "I raised two."
The old king said, "Female ghost?"
Seeing Xu Yang nodding, he smiled bitterly: "I can understand that young people are angry, but in today's society, there are so many women...... It's okay to have a female ghost and have fun once in a while, but remember, don't indulge in it."
Xu Yang: "........."
I rub!
Uncle Wang, are you thinking crookedly?
The old king continued: "There are indeed many people in the rivers and lakes who do this kind of thing of raising ghosts...... But those who are decent people are very disdainful of this matter...... At least on the surface."
"You are in charge of the Taishang Pure Seal, cultivation
is the Flying Immortal Sutra left by your grandfather, and it may be possible to inherit the position of Heavenly Master in the future...... How can you leave a handle?"
Xu Yang was hesitant and didn't know what to say for a while.
Lao Wang's voice changed, and he lowered his voice and instructed, "But it's nothing...... As far as I know, there are still people who raise ghosts in the Daomen, and most of them are female ghosts...... Just don't make a big deal out of it and let outsiders know."
"It's not...... Uncle Wang, you misunderstood."
Xu Yang hurriedly explained, "I just saw that the two female ghosts were lonely and had nowhere to go, so I left them in the store for the time being."
The old king showed a "I understand" thought, and said with a smile: "Then why didn't you bring back the two male ghosts?"
Seeing that Xu Yang couldn't speak, he laughed and said, "Okay, it's not too early...... I have to go back to duty."
Sent away Uncle Wang.
Xu Yang took a cold shower and began to practice talisman making again.
Until the sun rose in the morning, Xu Yang came to the counter on the first floor and continued to practice talismans.
The store was closed all day.
This is also normal......
In today's society, funeral shops are based on their connections to pull business, many of them are in cooperation with funeral homes, and funeral homes are in cooperation with major hospitals and nursing homes, it is said that someone has just swallowed his breath on the operating table, and within 20 minutes, the funeral home's phone call reached the family of the deceased.
The old man was in Wucheng back then, in order to be incognito, he ran a funeral shop, which belonged to the "salted fish" operation, and Xu Yang perfectly inherited this point of the old man.
Closed in the evening.
Xu Yang took Liu Shishi and Yang Yin to eat a seafood café outside, and after returning to the store, he waited.
When it was close to 12 o'clock in the morning, Uncle Wang finally came.
He pulled the Mercedes-Benz to the door of the funeral shop, entered the door and hurriedly said, "There is a meeting in the school today, and it was delayed for a little time...... Xu Yang, are things ready?"
"I'm ready, just wait for you, uncle."
The so-called "preparation" is actually "corpse oil candle" and fragrance.
According to Uncle Wang, this is a necessary thing for the living to enter the "ghost market".
"That's okay, bring your things, come with me, there are many taboos for the living to enter the ghost market...... We'll talk about this as we go."
The two went out of the funeral shop, and Xu Yang locked the door and followed closely behind Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang said, "In a place like a ghost market, there are a mixture of fish and dragons, living people, dead people, demons, ghosts, ghosts...... Even zombies can go, so when you enter the ghost market, you must abide by the rules of the ghost market, otherwise you will violate the taboo, uncle, I can't save you." ….
"When a living person enters a ghost market, he or she must go through a special method, so that he can cover his yang energy and avoid being discovered by ghosts......
Xu Yang was curious, "What method?"
The old king walked along the pavement, looking left and right as he went, and said, "First we have to find an intersection."
Nowadays, in the city, the most important thing is the crossroads.
Seeing that he had already passed by several intersections, Xu Yang said again: "Uncle Wang, how should you choose the intersection, and what is the explanation?"
"Yes...... Pick an intersection with few cars, otherwise you will be easily hit."
「………」
Soon.
Arrived at a remote crossroads.
It's already out of the woods, and it's midnight, so there are very few cars on the road.
The old king stopped and commanded, "Light the candle."
With a flick of Xu Yang's "biu", the flames of his fingertips burst out, lit the corpse oil candle, and suddenly a special smell came to his face, the smell was a little strange, but it was not the foul smell that Xu Yang imagined, but also had a special fragrance.
But he didn't know it......
The corpse oil candle in his hand was obtained by the old man with a lot of effort.
This kind of corpse oil candle is made by ancient methods.
In ancient times
, There will even be people who use ancient methods to refine perfume from corpses, and the corpse oil refined by some ancient method also has an aphrodisiac effect, and some Qinglou women will smear corpse oil on the eyebrows, so that it can arouse men's desires.
"Fire control!"
When Lao Wang saw this scene, he was shocked again: "Good boy...... You have never entered the Dao, and you have actually cultivated the Fire Control Technique, one of the Five Elements Dao Method, and there are very few true disciples in the various Dao Sects who can do this step when refining the Qi Realm."
I have hanging, can they compare?
Xu Yang was slandered in his heart, but on the surface, he was modest: "I also made it by accident."
Lao Wang said again: "Burn incense."
Xu Yang lit a pillar of incense, and then according to Lao Wang's guidance, he closed his eyes, held the corpse oil candle in one hand, and the fragrance in the other, and walked forward smelling the smell of candles and incense.
"Remember, don't open your eyes until you hear a sound."
"Otherwise, you won't be able to go to the ghost market, but you will lose yourself......
Xu Yangxin said...... No wonder the special mother wants to pick an intersection with fewer cars.
Crossing the intersection with your eyes closed, wouldn't it be death if there were more cars?
He walked slowly, and gradually his senses changed, and everything became silent, and the surroundings became quieter and quieter, quieter and quieter, as if the whole world was only the sound of his own footsteps.
I don't know how long it took.
It seems like a moment, and it seems like a hundred years.
Suddenly, Xu Yang heard a whisper, faintly, and there were bursts of shouting.
He slowly opened his eyes, and he entered a dimly lit world, with a faint mist floating everywhere.
He looked up, but saw a bright moon hanging in the sky, no different from the moon outside, except that there were no stars in the sky, but flashing red light, like lanterns floating in the air.
Ahead, there is a faint, real and illusory bazaar.
At the entrance to the street of the market were two large elm trees, which grew on both sides of the road, but their branches and leaves were intertwined in mid-air, forming a natural arch.
Like the locust tree, the elm tree is also a "shade tree".
When we were children, the older generation often warned us not to sleep under the elm tree at noon, otherwise it would be easy to provoke unclean things...... This is not a lie, because at noon, the weather is hot, and lonely ghosts have nowhere to go, so they often choose to hide under elm trees.
Uncle Wang pointed to the two big elm trees in front of him and said, "These two elm trees are called the Ghost Gate Pass, and after that, there is the ghost market...... Remember, when you go to a ghost market, you can't look around, you can't ask questions, someone calls you from behind, and don't talk to you."
