The cat ran to the front again, sniffing the grass on the side of the road. Sniffing and sniffing, and opening his mouth to take two bites. While chewing, he looked back at the two people behind him.

Wu Nuxia led the horse and pointed to a road: "Go this way, it is the famous Changjing Ghost Market." ”

"I've also heard of the ghost city of Changjing."

"Where did you hear that?"

"Tea house."

"Have you been?"

"Nope."

"I don't think so."

"yes." This ghost market is outside the city, and it only opens at night, and if you want to go to the ghost market, you will definitely not be able to come back at night.

With the soundproofing of Xiaolou and the vigilance of this woman, she may not be able to return home one day, and she may be clear in her heart.

"I also want to go shopping, but I don't know how to get to this ghost market, what's so special, and what's important?" Song You just happened to ask her for advice.

Wu Nuxia didn't twist it, and said: "The ghost market is open every forty or seventy, today is May 14, we have to go to Beiqin Mountain for more than a day, if we find Doctor Cai, it is estimated that it will take some time, if we can't find it, it will definitely not come back immediately, if we can catch up with the seventeenth market, I can take you there." If you still want to go to the depths of Beiqin Mountain to find the snake fairy, I won't accompany you, go by yourself, and if you come back twenty or twenty-four, you can also go there. ”

"Interesting, isn't it?"

"It's not interesting, but it's different from the usual market." At this time, the two had already walked the path just now, and Wu Nuxia had to reflexively point to the road: "Follow that road all the way, there is a crack in the ground, the widest part is several zhang, the narrowest part is two zhang, the deepest place is almost more than ten zhang deep, stretching for dozens of miles, except for noon, there is no sunlight at other times." ”

"Naturally occurring?"

"It is said that in the last years of the previous dynasty, a few points of the world, demons danced wildly, and there were gods and spirits in the lower realm, and there were unbelievable gods or demons fighting here, and the earth was split, so there was this crack."

"It's amazing."

"I don't know if it's true or not, have you heard of it?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"You haven't heard of it, it's mostly rumors, maybe the earth dragon turned over." Wu Nuxia said,

"Because the ground is sewn outside the city of Changjing, slowly some people are doing some shady business here. Originally, it was just some outlaws and some people who could not see the light to come here, and gradually it became bigger and bigger, and now a lot of bold, curious people sometimes come to join in the fun, called the ghost market, I heard that sometimes there are really mountain demons and wild ghosts to come here to do business. ”

"I see."

"If you want to say that there are special ones, it is quite special when you walk in, they are all grottoes carved out on both sides of the cracks in the ground, and they are often foggy. There are strange things for sale, everything can be seen, things that are not common in Changjing, and even things that are not allowed to be sold on ordinary streets. If you have the skills, you can buy some secret information. Wu Nuxia said,

"However, there are often people from the government who come in, so it is still very difficult to see those things that are strictly forbidden, such as armor, if they are sold, this place will be besieged the next day."

"Doesn't the government care in normal times?"

"Tube, not much. The government is like this, the city is strictly controlled, and when you go out of the city, you are very loosely controlled. Wu Nuxia said,

"On average, I will come to the big check once every few years, and the ordinary small check is irrelevant, and the ghost market for hundreds of years has been involved too much, and it will not be easily poured out."

"I see." By the time they spoke, they had come a long way. Suddenly, a cicada chirped rapidly approached, intermittently.

The Taoist couldn't help but glance down. I saw the three-flowered cat walking back towards him with a cheerful little broken step, with a cicada in its mouth.

The cicada made a few intermittent noises from time to time, as if begging for mercy, but it could not shake the cold heart of the three-flowered cat at all.

She only walked up to the Taoist and pulled the Taoist trouser with her paws. The Taoist bent down and spread out her hand, and she put the cicada in her mouth in the palm of the Taoist's hand, and then raised her head to look at him: "Eat the cicada." ”

"I don't eat it."

"People want to eat cicadas." The three-flowered cat stared at him and said,

"There are people in the city who eat cicadas, and they are roasted and eaten by fire, and you also roast and eat them."

"I don't bake."

"I'll bake it for you."

"I appreciate Sanhua Niangniang's kindness, let's eat Sanhua Niangniang by herself."

"You're hungry."

"I didn't."

"You're tired of walking."

"Not either."

"......" Sanhua Cat stared at him for a long time, took the cicada from his hand, and ate it in two or three bites, which could not be wasted.

Then he took small steps and ran to the front again.

"You cat cares about you."

"She was afraid that I would starve to death."

"Interesting." Wu Nuxia couldn't help but smile. This kind of warmth will affect the people around you.

At this time, it gradually moved from morning to noon, although it was cloudy and there was no scorching sun, but it was also a little muggy. In addition to the sweltering heat, there are occasionally a few cool breezes, and each gust of wind brings an amazing coolness.

Coupled with the summer flowers dotted on both sides of the path, it is not as soft as spring flowers, but it has its own splendor, accompanied by the sound of cicadas from all directions, it seems to be similar to every summer in memory.

It's a bit of a trance - half of this summer has passed, she is out and about almost every day, every day is basked by the scorching sun and the summer heat, and today is the first day to be idle to look at the summer flowers on the side of the road and listen to the cicadas by the road.

So much so that after half of the summer, I realized the feeling of summer. Suddenly, I heard another voice, as if it were nothing.

It's like a cooking pot is being boiled. Not only her, but also the three-flowered cat, who was jumping forward and walking as if carefree, was also attracted to attention, stretching her neck to stare in the direction where the sound came.

A few people walked over and saw four or five village children, walking barefoot on the road. Two of the village children wore only half of their trousers, and three of them pulled their trousers up to their knees, and their feet were covered with mud.

In addition, everyone has a half-cut pod in their mouth, and they make a sound that is bright or heavy. It's a harsh mix of sounds.

"Hey kid!" Wu Nuxia stopped them,

"Where did you find this name?"

"Huh?" Several of the children suddenly stopped, at a loss. Although Wu Nuxia is a female voice, she is masked with a cloth, she is also tall, leading a horse with a knife, and she has a bit of deterrence.

"Where did you find it?"

"What ......"

"Bark, bark." Wu Nuxia said to them, and only then did she react, Changjing's name may be different, so she pointed to her mouth,

"Blow this."

"It's on the road ahead."

"Let's go." Wu Nuxia waved her hand. The group of children immediately walked away quickly, looking back at them as they went, and the whistle sounded again.

The three-flowered cat also stood in place, staring at them. It wasn't until the child walked away, and the Taoist and the woman also walked away, that she retracted her gaze and hurriedly caught up with the Taoist.

After a while, the three-flowered cat had taken the form of a little girl, and like Wu Nuxia, one of them had a whistle made of a wild pea pod in her mouth.

The two walked side by side, one big and one small, blowing a sound like a cooking pot, and the feeling of summer in their memories became more complete.

The Taoist was wrapped in noise, but he smiled. The shadows of the mountains can be seen faintly in front of you, as if you are far away from home.

…… The mountain in the distance got closer and closer, and the mountain shadow became clearer, but as I got closer, I saw more blurred mountain shadows behind the mountain.

The mountains of this world really don't come to an end. I slept on the side of the road at night, and the next morning, I arrived at the foot of the continuous Beiqin Mountain.

The mountains are majestic, and there are people in the depths of the white clouds.

"Woo woo~~" The little girl was still whistling, walking very improperly, but she fell down, she wanted to fall to the Taoist's body, hit him and walked right, and after a while, she turned over again, and hit again.

I think it's fun. The way up the mountain is really hard to find and difficult to walk, and if you don't pay attention, you will go wrong. Fortunately, there are many people on the mountain, there are Taoist temples, the road is not narrow, and some places have built stone steps, Wu Nuxia has been here twice, leading the yellow-maned horse, chatting with him while trying to find the way.

So in the middle of the mountain, a path led obliquely to the depths of the forest, and the two people, a cat and a horse, slowly walked up the mountain.

Sometimes the loess road, sometimes the bluestone steps. The road was covered with unknown shrubs, covered with small thorns, and with small blue-purple flowers.

Faintly visible unknown ancient temples on the top of distant mountains. The mountain breeze is full of wind, blowing the grass and trees on the roadside swaying, the scenery is wonderful, the world is clear and dark, the stuffiness is gone, and the mood is naturally very comfortable.

The group was not in a hurry or slow, and gradually entered the depths of the white clouds. From time to time, I will meet some people from the rivers and lakes, who seem to be looking for Master Dou, I am afraid that they will also be regarded as competitors, and they will look at them and pretend to be fierce.

Song You has always ignored it, only looking at the road carefully, while Wu Nuxia has to look at them, and she has to wait until they take the initiative to look away or the two sides stagger before turning back.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's the front."

"A hermit in the mountains."

"Not a hermit." Wu Nuxia's voice came out,

"Don't look at him living in this mountain, in fact, it's just for the convenience of picking herbs and tasting herbs, he doesn't stay at home for a few months a year, he usually goes around for medical treatment, no matter where he is, he will be treated as a guest, so it doesn't matter if he lives in a remote place."

"There's a house!" The little girl took the whistle off her mouth for the time being, pointed to the front and said, and then wiped the saliva from the whistle and continued to stuff it into her mouth.

"Woo~"

"Poof!" Suddenly he lost his steadyness and fell to the ground. The little girl immediately reached out to pick it up, but was grabbed by the Taoist.

"My name is ......"

"It's dirty."

"It's not dirty!"

"There's still on the way."

"Oh." There was a hut in the distance. When I got closer, I saw that several of the huts were closed, and one of them had a pair of fish tails taped to the door.

"No one." The little girl whispered.

"Knock knock......" Wu Nuxia knocked on the door, and sure enough, no one responded.

"It's empty again." Wu Nuxia frowned, bent down to look at the door, reached out and touched it, and looked at her fingers: "There is a layer of ash in front of the door, even if it is windy on the mountain, it is estimated that no one has been in or out for several days." ”

"I have betrayed the trust of the heroine."

"I should have gone out to practice medicine." Wu Nuxia shook her head,

"What do you say?"

"Come while you're here, it's good to find nature, and it's fun to find it if you can't find it." Song You smiled,

"What's more, I'm here to hide from the chaos of Changjing, and it doesn't hurt if I can't find it. It's a woman, it seems that she has something more important to come to Doctor Cai, and I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed. ”

"What's the solution?" Wu Nuxia sighed,

"I'm going to wait here until tomorrow afternoon, and if there's no one, I'll go back and come back next time."

"Then I'll wait until tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay." The two of them were not too dirty, so they sat down at the door, leaning against the door, blowing the mountain breeze and waiting for it to get dark.
