Chapter 52: Entering the ghost market for the first time
"How is he?" Ning Hanzhi didn't continue the topic just now, but suddenly asked me about Yun Shen.
"He was seriously injured and is still recovering, very weak." I lowered my head and whispered to him.
After my words fell for a long time, Ning Hanzhi smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right, you have been chased like that by Shiva in disguise, and he didn't make a move. It may be difficult to even show up."
"I have troubled him too much. I hope that one day I can stand beside him and stand shoulder to shoulder with him." I continued. When Ning Hanzhi heard my words, he didn't answer directly, but felt deeply. After looking at me for a long time, he said with a smile: "I hope there will be such a day."
I don't know if it's my delusion, or because Yunshen told me to be wary before, Ning Hanzhi's smile made me feel a little weird. As for why I can't say, I can only nod, follow him out of the inn I walked around in a circle, trying to determine the exact location when the ghost market opened tonight.
Along the way, the capital of Ninghan is very eye-catching. It seems that not only the people in the inn know him, but even those who live in other places and are going to enter the ghost market tonight know his name.
I have been watched a lot by people, and some people guessed my identity. Even what happened to me in the inn yesterday has spread throughout Medog, making it difficult for me to keep a low profile.
I went around around Nanga Bawa Peak, and it was already night. In a valley under Nanjia Peak about ten kilometers away from the inn, a red light suddenly appeared, like a long line, surrounding the whole valley. It made a circle with a diameter of at least several kilometers. It was hard to imagine how big this ghost city must be. I walked down the valley and got close to the red light. I just wanted to reach out to touch it, but I was so hot that I withdrew my hand.
"This is an enchantment. The ghost market is for all kinds of ghosts and snakes to trade. It is an illusory world. It can also be said that in some most yin places, it is connected to another world. The parallel world that exists at the same time has not yet opened. When the time comes, the enchantment is the barrier to protect it." Ning Hanzhi explained to me.
As soon as the words were finished, one after another, some transparent buildings slowly appeared in the enchantment. From being transparent at the beginning, they gradually became real. The red lanterns hanging at the door of the store seem to be welcoming the distinguished guests, which is both weird and festive.
The appearance of the enchantment has attracted more and more people to stop here. There are still more than two hours before the ghost city really opens, and the valley is already full of dense crowds, as if everyone wants to be the first Enter the ghost market and get a fortune.
After all, even if the things that can be traded in the ghost market are not priceless treasures, just take out a piece of them, it is still a treasure, and there are countless ascetics, just waiting for the four-year ghost market to come in and gamble Good luck, find some treasures.
Ning Hanzhi and I were high-profile enough in the inn, so we naturally didn't want to be the focus of everyone. After wandering around the enchantment, we found a small corner with no one and sat down, waiting for the arrival of the hour.
"Tell me, who are the shopkeepers in this ghost city?" I looked at the hustle and bustle in front of me and asked Ning Hanzhi.
He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and asked me like an idiot: "Who told you that all the transactions in the ghost market are human?"
As soon as the voice fell, he continued: "Anyone who can open a small stall in the ghost market is not an idle person. Some people have existed since the ghost market came into existence. No one knows his background. His entanglement with the ghost market is also that after entering the ghost market, he spent a lot of money and rented a shop, trying to sell the things he owns in multiples in the ghost market. A once-in-a-year opportunity to turn around."
"There are even some people who are penniless and dying, and they are all gambling with their lives. After all, the ghost market is not just about trading."
Upon hearing Ning Hanzhi's words, I quickly asked, "Then what else can I do besides making deals?"
"You will know when you go in." He replied to me, and at the end, he joked to me: "If you want to play in it, I can help you set up a small stall and practice fortune-telling. Can become famous in that hexagram."
"People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, so let me forget it. I came here just to get a picture of mountains and rivers. I will leave after I take it. I have stayed here for a long time and have long nights and dreams. When I meet Li You, I will be done." I waved my hand quickly.
Ning Hanzhi suddenly pointed at this moment, and asked me meaningfully: "Don't you think that if you take it and leave, you won't meet Li You?"
I looked in the direction of his fingers, and when I saw a group of figures wrapped in black robes appearing around the barrier, I was stunned and panicked: "My day, hisThe operation is so fast, we may not even be able to beat his followers, what if we really meet inside? "
"It's not just in case, but it will definitely happen." Ning Hanzhi replied to me.
After I heard it, my scalp became even more numb, and I asked him, "Why?"
"Because" Ning Hanzhi deliberately lengthened the ending, and replied to me: "He came here also for the map of mountains and rivers."
"But Yunshen told me that the map of mountains and rivers is inextricably linked to my family, and his surname is not Lin, so what's the use of taking it?" I asked quickly.
Seeing my reaction, Ning Hanzhi sighed helplessly: "It seems that Yun Shen still hasn't told you the truth."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"The Map of Mountains and Rivers is a map. To be precise, it is a treasure map. Although it is inextricably related to your family, the Map of Mountains and Rivers is more important to Yun Shen and Li You than your Lin family." Ning Hanzhi replied to me.
I don't know why, but when I heard Ning Hanzhi's words, I, who was full of confidence, suddenly panicked, not only because this map of mountains and rivers is a treasure map, but also because, what he said clearly and secretly meant to be Remind me, Yun Shen didn't tell me the truth.
I know that I shouldn't doubt Yun Shen, but no matter how calm I am, I look at Ning Hanzhi and want to defend myself, but before I can say a word, my eyes have been dodged and I don't know how to answer.
"Let's go, it's almost time, I'll take you in to have a look." Ning Hanzhi suddenly stood up and led me straight forward. I looked at his back and felt the cold from head to heel all over my body. Is it really bad? Knowing whether Ning Hanzhi intends to help me, or wants to provoke the relationship between me and Yun Shen.
It wasn't long before the two of us left, and the gate of the ghost market has been opened with a bang. Those who have hero posts, step forward quickly, for fear of being snatched first. , as soon as the front foot stepped in, the back foot was kicked out. What's more, a large group of people without hero posts gathered together, waiting for the number of people to accumulate, and wanted to risk their lives to rush in together. in.
It seems that this hero post is not so easy to get.
Ning Hanzhi's steps were very slow. He didn't increase his pace until he watched Li You follow the crowd into the ghost market. The gatekeepers in front of the door are all short, dwarf-like villains, but they work very quickly. Every time someone enters, they will quickly stop and show their posts. It is almost impossible for the guards guarding both sides with big swords to sneak in.
Not long after Ning Hanzhi and I walked into the ghost market, he looked back at the post in my hand as if he remembered something, and asked, "Where did you get this hero post?"
"I didn't go anywhere, I just stayed in the Hongchen Inn and asked the proprietress for it." I replied to Ning Hanzhi.
After hearing this, surprise flashed across his eyes, and he asked me again: "Yun Shen asked you to ask her to get it?"
I shook my head and replied: "Yun Shen said, as long as I live in the Hongchen Inn, I can get it from the people in the inn."
Only then did he nod, and asked if the reason why I was able to stay in the inn was because I showed the proprietress a blood drop?
I just wanted to nod, but in an instant, my whole body felt cold for no reason. You know, when I took out the blood droplet and was surrounded by people, Ning Hanzhi hadn¡¯t even arrived in Medog yet. How could he guess right? As if I was in front of him, like a transparent person?
"Why do you ask that?" I asked back.
"It's nothing, then you don't want to stay in the inn in the future." Ning Hanzhi replied to me, and then stopped looking at me. There are not only those who sell things in the city with livid complexions, whose skin and flesh seem to be dehydrated, people who have just crawled out of coffins, and some are wearing masks, wearing ancient costumes, and some are just like kittens. , a puppy-like animal, curled up in front of the booth, but the eyes revealed in those eyes were very much like a living person.
"Aren't they monsters?" I looked at the kittens and puppies on the stalls and asked Ning Hanzhi.
After he looked at me from top to bottom like a fool, he asked me: "Lin Xiaowei, are you really a descendant of the Lin family? You don't have any common sense, so you can't tell what they are?"
"I No one taught me" I lowered my head and retorted softly.
Ning Hanzhi told me: "They are beasts possessed by soul consciousness, and they just want to find a host in the ghost city."
"Soul consciousness? Like Yun Shen?" I continued to ask.
Ning Hanzhi nodded, and then I asked again: "Then isn't this a ghost? After a person dies, he becomes a ghost and loses his body. The soul must find a carrier to have a host, right?"
I never thought that when Ning Hanzhi heard my words, he snorted coldly with disdain: "Humans are such low-energy creatures, they die as soon as they die, and they want to become soul consciousness and find a host to be reborn? Anyone who can have soul consciousness, A person who is not a hardworking person who has attained the Tao, abandons his physical body, and is no longer bound by the shackles of the world, is no longer a human being, or he must be"
"What is it?" I asked anxiously.
"Be careful!" Ning Hanzhi suddenly pushed me away at this moment. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)sp;Ning Hanzhi nodded, and then I asked again: "Then isn't this a ghost? After death, a person becomes a ghost and loses his body. The soul must find a carrier to have a host, right?"
