Chapter 12: One Man and One Ghost

According to the agreed division of labor, Fan Wu and Chen Xiangjun set off from their homes to the east after separation.

According to Chen Xiangjun, in fact, ghosts are not very able to enter other people's homes at will, because the traditional Chinese people will have a landlord or a door god.

Unless a deceased relative in the family can only enter the house with the approval of the landlord, if the ghosts can enter and leave the ordinary people's homes at will, then the yin and yang order will be disordered.

Of course, the landlord of an ordinary family is only the god of the land at the bottom, strictly speaking, although he is a member of the priesthood system, he basically does not have any divine power, at most he is the strength of a caretaker.

Although the door god is a true god with the foundation of mass belief, it is only a distraction for each family, and his strength is limited.

So it can't be stopped for old ghosts with a certain strength, but it's safer than those undefended houses.

If there is no one to take a new ghost like Liu Xing, then you can only find some houses or houses that no one lives in and some public areas without the landlord's door god.

According to Liu Xing's character, it is estimated that he will not go to someone's house, so he can narrow down the scope and delineate those large new buildings or public places such as unfinished buildings.

Fan Wu, who came to the conclusion, quickly searched the shopping malls and new real estate in the east of the city, and saw a lot of wandering ghosts, but he didn't find Liu Xing.

I wanted to find a ghost to ask, but these wandering spirits were very defensive, and they avoided it far away without waiting for Fan Wu to approach, I didn't know if I thought he was a plague god, which made Fan Wu depressed and wanted to die.

In fact, he didn't know that after the battle of Longtan, he already had the momentum to deter ordinary ghosts.

Jizo's bracelet may not be felt by other ghosts, but the more than ten years of soul power on Fan Wu's body is real.

The most critical right arm is also hidden a powerful ghost dragon, although it has not appeared, but the faint soul pressure on the tattoo can already scare away many lonely souls and wild ghosts.

Although he couldn't find the object to inquire, he also saved a lot of trouble for Fan Wu, and it took him a little midnight to find all the places to go in the east of the city, and now he is heading to the north of the city.

The north of the city is a small east-west mountain range, Beishan, which blocks the north side of Duancheng like a wall, blocking most of the southward north wind, making the climate of Duancheng warm and rich in plants.

Therefore, there is a primeval forest like Dingshan, coupled with a Xijiang River running through the city in the south of the city, and the beautiful natural scenery of Duancheng is also a well-known tourist city in the country.

The river runs through, and the abundant forest resources also make this small population of the city feng shui yin, coupled with the existence of Dingshan Longtan, the end city is particularly suitable for the survival of yin objects.

In particular, although Beishan is not as primitive as the forest of Dingshan, the entire underground water system at the bottom of the mountain is connected with Longtan water, so it has become a ghost distribution center for Duancheng and surrounding cities, and even gathered in the west of Beishan to form a ghost market.

When Chen Xiangjun introduced it to Fan Wu, he said that he heard that the ghost world here in Duancheng was in chaos, and a mysterious ghost organization came more than 20 years ago.

No one knows where the organization comes from, who the person in charge is, and no ghost has really seen him for so many years, only that the name of the organization is a strange word "Xi", and I don't know if it's true or not.

But since that year, more and more local ghosts have claimed to be employed by the organization, but for so many years, only one order has been issued by the organization.

It is to let them catch a certain number of ghosts every year and hand them over to the organization, and as long as they meet the standards, they can get ghost weapons as a reward.

However, no one knows what the standard is.,It's just that every time you hand in a task, you will naturally get a corresponding reward according to your contribution.,But I haven't heard of how many ghosts have obtained any amazing ghost weapons for so many years.。

So it's always been just a legend in a small circle, but since five years ago, a demon passing by in the outer city killed two ghosts in Duancheng and handed them over to the organization to obtain a powerful spirit flag.

The old ghost who knows about this city has gone crazy.,In the past few years, I've been competing to do tasks.,And it's getting more and more excessive.,If there's no new soul, kill people and sacrifice directly.,Last night's vision probably doesn't know which old ghost is doing it again.。

In the past few years, there are still some old ghosts who have obtained ghost weapons one after another, but these ghost weapons seem to have been obtained randomly.

Some people who are not necessarily suitable for their own use have to find a way to exchange with others, and slowly a ghost market is formed, and I heard that the ghost market is "Xi" behind the scenes, so no ghost has dared to make trouble in the ghost market, and over time it has formed a rule that only trades in the ghost market and does not do anything.

As for whether you can take it away smoothly after the exchange, it depends on your ability, anyway, if you don't do it in the ghost city, it's a matter that everyone agrees with.

Due to the rules of the ghost market to ensure the safety of coming here, more and more ghosts are willing to come here to do business, even if they don't have ghost weapons, they can sell services or information.

Not only can you exchange items, but you can also inquire and exchange messages, so in recent years, there have even been humans in special industries in the ghost market.

Of course, it's not a special industry like the leather and meat business, but people who deal with ghosts in the underworld.

In fact, there are not many such people, excluding those scammers who pretend to be gods and cheat money, there are still many people who really have special abilities and abilities.

For example, those psychics who can talk to the deceased, and those who are born with different pupils, or those who are born blind but have open eyes.

As long as these special people can protect themselves, they can actually have normal social interactions with ghosts, after all, there are still a few evil ghosts who think about harming people all day long.

According to Chen Xiangjun, the ghost market is located in the unfinished villa area behind a large real estate project on the west side of Beishan.

Dozens of villas here have been framed, but for some reason they have been left empty on this hill for almost twenty years.

In the past, it was only used as a resting place for some wandering ghosts, but about ten years ago, old ghosts began to occupy and clarify the ownership of the villa, and slowly formed a large-scale distribution center.

Fan Wu left the city and came to Beishan, and walked two or three kilometers west to see the famous real estate.

It was already close to midnight when I passed through the building, and it was far from the city center, so there were almost no human arrivals and exits, except for a few security guards on duty, who could see almost all of Fan Wu's kind walking around.

There are two kinds of ghosts I saw when I crossed the community, one was that I hurried to the back mountain, and the estimated destination was to go to the ghost market like Fan Wu.

The other is that there are many elderly people who take a leisurely walk, and there are so many that it is a little abnormal, this real estate has only existed for less than ten years, and it is unlikely that so many old people have died in ten years.

I used to hear that there is a lot of yin here, and many rich people from the surrounding big cities buy an empty house here and place the ancestral tablet, which seems to be true.

Fan Wu, who passed by the leisure activity area of the community, saw a strange scene, two old men in Tang costumes were sitting on both sides of a stone platform and playing chess.

It's nothing to play chess, the strange thing is that the two old men are one person and one ghost, but it seems that there is no obstacle to their communication, and the speed of playing chess is not slow, and the curious Fan Wu couldn't help but take a few more glances when he passed by.

"Where is the young man in such a hurry?"

Suddenly, the old ghost stopped and glanced at Fan Wu and said.

"Old man, are you asking me?" Fan Wu looked left and right and passed by.

"It's you, young man, if you're not in a hurry, why don't you come and talk to the old man. ”

"Old man, I still have something to go to the ghost market, I'm in a hurry, why don't you wait for me to come back and talk?" Fan Wu replied without stopping.

"Don't worry, old ghost Li, don't go around in circles, little ghost, let me tell you, even if you go to the ghost market, you can't find what you're looking for, so don't waste your time." The old man, who had been bowing his head to study the chess game, raised his head and said.

"Old man, do you know what I'm going to look for?"

Since he could play chess with the old ghost opposite, Fan Wu was not surprised that he could see himself at all, but only wondered why he knew that he was going to find someone.

"I know not only what you're looking for, but also who you're looking for. ”

The old man also stopped what he was doing, turned to Fan Wu and said.

At this time, Fan Wu had already turned around and approached them, and when he looked closely, he found that the old man who had just finished speaking had empty eyes and was blind, and the old ghost himself had actually seen it, and it was one of the old men who had inhaled yin qi in the inner circle that night in the Luofu Cemetery.

"Boy Fan Wu has seen two old people, may I ask what the two old men are called?" Fan Wu said politely although he was anxious.

"My surname is Li, just call me Lao Li, this surname is Zhang, just call him Lao Zhang. The old ghost replied.

"It turned out to be Li Lao and Zhang Lao, I don't know what Zhang Lao just said means, please explain. ”

Of course, Fan Wu can't directly call Lao Zhang and Lao Li, first, he is not familiar, and second, the age of the people is there.

"You're looking for that little girl who isn't in the ghost market, and no one in the ghost market knows where she is. Zhang Lao said.

"Elder Zhang, I don't know how you know who I'm looking for, and you know that she's not here, do you know her?"

Although he didn't feel like the two old men were fooling him, Fan Wu still kept an eye on it and never said Liu Xing's name.

"Young man, you don't need to be so guarded, Lao Zhang is the spiritual medium president of Duancheng, although he is blind, but his heart and eyes are very high, and he basically knows the ghosts in the whole city, and he is also proficient in numerology, so it is not strange to know your little girlfriend's situation. ”

Old Ghost Li said, it seemed that Fan Wu's little caution couldn't hide it from him at all.

"Don't listen to this old ghost's boasting, I'm just an ordinary blind man, just a little bit of research on fortune-telling, the little girl you're looking for is named Liu Xing, who lives in Xinghe Garden, passed away a year ago, and this year is the first time she went home to visit relatives, I know all of this, but I don't know why the ghost door is closed and still in the world, according to the current situation, it is estimated that it should be related to you. ”

The old man replied to Fan Wu after the old ghost's words.

Without waiting for Fan Wu to speak, the old man continued:

"The reason why I know that Liu Xing is not here is because my heart and eye can sense the existence of familiar ghosts within a certain range, so the old ghost said that I know all the ghosts in the whole city, but it is only limited to familiar ghosts, this time because only three new souls remained when the ghost door was closed a few days ago, and two of them still live together, so I especially remembered their soul prints. ”

There is no need for the old man to continue to explain, Fan Wu also knew that the two new souls he was referring to were Liu Xing and himself, and he had already begun to believe what the old man said.

"Then if you are not in the ghost city, does Zhang Lao know where Liu Xing is now?"

"It's not in the ghost city, it's not in the city, it should be said that it's not in the city anymore, last night I felt her and another stranded new soul mixed in the middle of a group of freshly dead souls, and followed five old ghosts with strong soul power from the city center to leave the end city from the northeast. ”

Speaking of this, the old man paused and looked at Fan Wu, and saw that he didn't react too excitedly before continuing:

"I wanted to come to the ghost market tonight to inquire about what happened in the city center last night, but no one knew any inside story, I was just discussing this matter with Old Ghost Li, and when I saw you passing by, I couldn't help but let the old ghost stop you, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to tell you about the girl's situation, so that you could know." ”

After listening to the old man's words, Fan Wu remembered the sky vision he saw last night and regretted it, he knew that he would rush over to take a look last night, maybe he could save Liu Xing.

I knew that the old man and the old ghost were all kindly mentioning themselves, and hurriedly thanked the two old men and made an appointment to come to the door to thank them, and then said goodbye and left in a hurry.
