Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 143 ghost city news
It is said to be the gate, but it is actually two wooden pillars painted with vermilion lacquer. There are no other door panels, but above the gateposts, there are two colorfully carved wooden beasts in strange shapes.

Xie Zihao, as a graduate majoring in archeology and cultural relics restoration, is no stranger to these two kinds of strange beasts. One of them is 犼, and the other is Xiezhi.

Ji is the mythical beast squatting on the Huabiao in the Forbidden City. It is a kind of mythical beast that was not confirmed until the Ming Dynasty. It is also known as Chaotianhou, Wangtianhou, Denglong and Wangdigui.

The appearance of this jiao is more like the early legends. Its body is like a dog with horns on its head and its head is like a lion. The ones on the Huabiao in the Forbidden City have evolved into more like unicorns and brave dragons with long scales. .

But no matter which of these two forms is, it is completely different from the statement that the four ancestors of zombies or the Golden Retriever Roar is the highest form of zombies circulated on the Internet later. It was fabricated by a group of people. Xie Zihao had actually researched this matter in his previous life. The origin should be a certain series of Hong Kong dramas called Deadlock.

Seeing this, he thought of the mythical drama about driving high and low that he had chased when he was a child, and sighed secretly in his heart:

"It's a good drama, but the setting and logic are too confusing. It collapsed in the later stage, but the front is very brilliant. It's a pity!"

Let’s look at another beast is Xiezhi, which is the prototype of the Xiezhi crown worn by ancient justices and censors.

Xiezhi, a mythical beast, looks like a sheep or a deer. At first glance, it looks like a unicorn. It has a short tail and black hair, and its eyes are bright and energetic. unicorn.

Legend has it that Xiezhi has a loyal temperament, high intelligence, understands people's words and human nature, can distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and loyal to traitors. When it finds treacherous officials, or sees two people fighting, it will bump the wrong side with its horns , and then eat the stomach.

Therefore, Xiezhi is also known as the god sheep, which is a symbol of bravery and justice. Therefore, the statues of Xiezhi are often set up in the yamen of ancient judicial and law enforcement departments to show that they are upright, clean and just.

Xie Zihao guessed that Hongmen would place these two divine beasts at the gate of the market, it should be to defend against foreign enemies, guard internal security and trade fairness.Because these two things are obviously either Magical Artifacts or Formation Hubs.

With a flash of red in his eyes, he could see that the two statues of divine beasts were not ordinary, but Xie Zihao didn't dare to look at them too much, for fear of arousing the "vigilance" of these two divine beasts.

When entering the door, Xie Zihao followed the example of those in front of him, swaying the token or pass under the Xiezhi beast on the gate, and then walked straight into it.

When he took out the token, he felt a strong thought sweep over the iron card in his hand, and then there was no follow-up, obviously he was allowed to pass.

So Xie Zihao just glanced at the statue of the beast fearfully, and blended into the crowd without stopping, just like he was shopping at the flea market in Chinatown, starting from the entrance, and wandered through various stalls.

The reason why the Jinshan Ghost Market is called a ghost market is not only because of its opening time and the sneaky trading at the beginning, but also because of the dimly lit lantern hanging or placed on each stall.

Against the background of this kind of lighting, there is indeed a ghost market atmosphere in the whole trading booth.

Liang Rui'an mentioned the allusions here to Xie Zihao, but this was not intentional, but because the undead of the aborigines in this gold mine used to have too much resentment after death, and the number of undead was too large, so it was unavoidable that they were linked to the ghosts of the underworld. The space turned this place into the existence of ghosts and monsters in the world.

Although the group of monks led by Hongmen gathered the power of hundreds of extraordinary people to appease and purify or eliminate the undead on this land, the changed environment is difficult to change back.

So at that time, the high-ranking members of Hongmen set up formations here, as a barrier for the ghost city, and at the same time, they also had the purpose of sealing and suppressing the strange space here.

Xie Zihao knew that these kerosene lamp style lanterns were not burning ordinary kerosene in the oil pot, but a special lamp oil provided by Hongmen, which had to be ignited with their own spiritual power. Miasma effect.

Xie Zihao paid special attention to the lantern when he was approaching the nearest booth, and he smelled a special fragrance similar to sandalwood, but different in his nose. When you touch the range of light, you will feel a sense of calmness and peace of mind.

He couldn't help thinking:
"This Hongmen is easy to calculate. If you want to set up a stall, you must light such a lantern. Every once in a while, you need to input a spiritual mana or magic power to keep the lantern lit. Obviously, you are using these stalls. Extraordinary power to activate the effect of the lantern!"

"The power of this single lamp may be insignificant compared to the entire gold mining area, but the collection of tens or hundreds of lamps, together with the qi death wind lamps around the outside and the formation layout of the entire ghost city, is an unbelievable force. Small or very powerful. Over the years, it should be enough to maintain the stability of the surrounding space, and even slowly calm down the mutation in this area!"

"Sure enough, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to learn thousands of books. I have learned it!"

Hongmen's approach gave Xie Zihao a further idea on the use of the formation.

However, the main purpose of his trip was to find suitable instruments or materials, so he soon started to wander around the ghost market.

To be honest, after Xie Zihao walked around the stall area of ​​Jinshan Ghost City, he was a little satisfied and a little disappointed with it.

He is satisfied that this is indeed a trading market specially opened for extraordinary people. After walking around, he bought several medicines and materials that are not available in the outside world. They are all good things that he can use for making incense and practicing.

But what was disappointing was that after walking around, I didn't see any really outstanding magic tools or extraordinary materials, especially the ones that could be used to refine magic tools.

"Maybe the things in these stalls are relatively low-end?"

Thinking about it, Xie Zihao couldn't help turning his gaze to the direction of the green brick and tile houses further inside Jinshan Ghost City.

There is another gate similar to the gate between the booth area and the green brick and tile building area, but there are no beasts here, but there are still two strong men guarding it.

In fact, there is basically no need for guards at the gate of the ghost city. After all, as long as there is a token, it can pass through the detection of the animal statue, which is comparable to the smart security system of modern technology.

In the eyes of some people looking at the fun, Xie Zihao came to the gate inside the stall area. He had actually heard some people whispering and laughing, most of them were guessing how he, a young man, was slackened in front of this gate. .

In fact, although Xie Zihao had never been to Jinshan Ghost Market, Liang Ruian had already introduced him in detail about the situation inside, so he walked up to the two strong men without stage fright, shook the token in his hand, and After the two respectfully clasped their fists and saluted, they returned the salute slightly, and walked into the second door.

This scene shocked the jaws of the melon-eating crowd behind.

He really went in?What is the origin of this kid?
　Today is another day of tossing, come back tonight and hurry up to code!
