ghost market

Zhou Lingfeng, who had already lost his sense of direction, naturally couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north, so he had no choice but to use the pair of non-metallic and non-stone gates as a starting point.From the position of the gate, the whole room is basically a rectangle.On the left hand side of the door is the pool where he drank water just now. The scale is not very large, and it is estimated that it can accommodate five or six people to take a bath.There is a fist-sized water outlet in the innermost corner of the pool, from which an endless stream of clear water is slowly flowing out, and it seems that it will not dry up in another 100 years.

Connected to the pool is the piece of red land planted with trees.The area of ​​the red land is not small, accounting for almost two-thirds of the entire house, leaving only some empty spaces paved with square stone slabs at the door.There is only one kind of tree planted on the whole red land, and each tree is full of fruit.Apart from these faintly sweet-smelling trees, there is nothing else in the whole red land.

Roof, pool, red earth.Zhou Lingfeng explored carefully, but after all, he couldn't find anything similar to the exit.It seems that the door that I came in should be the only entrance and exit.Or, what's so weird about those things on the right wall?

Zhou Lingfeng walked to the wall on the right side of the gate and squinted his eyes to observe.Hanging on this wall is a row of things that look like full-length mirrors. The overall shape is oval and about as tall as a person.The surface of this object is covered with dust, slightly protruding, and the curvature looks like a gemstone set in jewelry.After walking a few steps forward, Zhou Lingfeng raised his arm to wipe the dust, only to find that although the mirror surface of this kind of thing is also light silver, it is somewhat transparent.Leaning on the mirror and looking inside, he suddenly saw that the space inside the glass was much larger than he had imagined. It was big enough to hold two people, just like a cabinet embedded in the wall.

Is this mirror a door? [

Zhou Lingfeng couldn't help thinking about it secretly.I thought to myself that if this layer of glass can be opened, then this row of cabinet-like things may not all be used for storing things, and there may be some kind of hidden passage.Thinking of this, he hurriedly checked one by one.

Seven, eight... and five more.

After memorizing the number, Zhou Lingfeng, who still hadn't found anything, raised his legs and walked towards the ninth "cabinet".Walk to the front.He raised his arm to wipe the dust, and then looked inside.Immediately afterwards, he trembled violently and froze in place.

Zhou Lingfeng saw a person, or maybe it was a person.

Behind the pale silver glass is a light green space, no different in size from the eight "cabinets" in front.This space is much brighter than the others.Maybe there is something emitting a faint green light, he doesn't know, his sight at this moment has been firmly attracted by the "person" in the middle of the space, and he can't take care of anything else.

It was a girl who looked about six or seven years old and was completely naked.Her hair is black and shiny.The neatly trimmed, smooth hair drooped naturally along the sides of the cheeks, as freehand as the lines drawn by two ink pens.Between the two "ink lines" is a round pretty face with delicate features.Although the eyes with thick eyelashes were tightly closed, this face still made people feel handsome.The girl's figure was a little thin, her skin was fair and tender, with a hint of luster.It's like a piece of top-quality white jade from Hotan.

jade carving?Or... fairies?

Zhou Lingfeng's hands trembled slightly, as if it was difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.He unconsciously stretched his hand forward, as if he wanted to go through the glass, touch the whiteness with his own hands, and feel the warmth for himself.

Suddenly, he withdrew his hand like an electric shock, staggered back a few steps, and was covered in sweat.

What's wrong with me?Bewitched?

Zhou Lingfeng was panting violently.Inexplicably horrified.The emotion at that moment just now was extremely strange, his heart could hardly contain a surge of deep love, he wanted to touch the girl behind the glass as if obsessed, and even wanted to hug her out of the "cabinet" , hugged in his arms and spoiled him.But in fact, he still hasn't been able to tell whether the girl is a sculpture?Is it a corpse?Or something else.

Zhou Lingfeng wiped his forehead with his hand, not daring to look at the girl again.A rumor that I heard when I was drinking with my brothers before suddenly popped up in my mind.

According to a brother whose hometown is in the Northeast.There is a very strange custom among them.If the only son of a wealthy family dies before reaching maturity, he must marry the dead man during the burial, so that the child can have a peaceful life in the underworld, and the family will not have an endless succession.

Zhou Lingfeng laughed out loud when he heard this statement.Isn't it just a matter of ghost marriage?You kid is still very mysterious, as if you have it at your house.You know, there are many such things in the north and south.

The brother didn't feel annoyed when he heard this, but drank a glass of wine sullenly, and then said very seriously that ghost marriages are not uncommon, but our Gada is different from other places. But "do it now"!

Zhou Lingfeng was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to ask what this "freshly made" meant.Before he could open his mouth, the brother went on to say that the brides are all children from poor families, and they usually choose those who are six or seven years old.After being bought back, he was cleaned and groomed, and then he was poisoned to death with a bowl of mercury.After death, continue to pour mercury into the stomach until it is full, and just put it naked with the dead and bury it, the ghost marriage will be considered complete.However, the bones of the dead are left within a few years, and this "bride" is still the same.Sometimes someone saw a naked little girl in the snow, and couldn't help but love her, so she wanted to hug her and take her home.I heard from the old man that this is the "bride" who crawled out of the grave and planned to find someone to remarry because she thought her husband had bones left.

At that time, Zhou Lingfeng laughed and scolded for a long time after hearing it, saying that you boy just wanted to make up a story to fool those girls, and then drank a few glasses of wine and forgot about it.Just now suddenly there was that kind of enchanted feeling, his mind suddenly remembered the "bridal wife" mentioned by the brother, and he came back to his senses in a sudden shock, and hurriedly put the soon-to-be The hand that touched the glass retracted.

Could it be... that girl is a processed corpse?Just like that "bride"?

Zhou Lingfeng thought silently, then shook his head violently.As a professional intelligence officer, he knows that there are always some protective measures in places where secrets are hidden.This weird girl was probably a special kind of statue, the kind that could hypnotize people.Its purpose is to make people trigger some mechanism and get into trouble, so as to protect the secret that is about to be discovered.And the place where this kind of facility is placed is obviously not too simple, maybe there will be a secret door leading to other places.Furthermore, through long-term observations, although Zhou Lingfeng doesn't know what kind of building this strange place is, he can be sure that this is not a mausoleum.Since it is not a mausoleum, the "bride" used to hold a ghost marriage will naturally not appear here.What's more, although that brother said something wicked, he had never seen a "bridal bride" with his own eyes, and only heard about it from the mouth of the old man.I can't be frightened by a nagging story, and miss an opportunity that is right in front of me. [

Having made up his mind, Zhou Lingfeng rubbed his face vigorously and leaned towards the "cabinet" again.Lowering his head and walking closer, he carefully wiped the dust off the glass again, and then looked inside from the re-enlarged place.

He controlled his eyes to skip over the girl standing in the middle, and carefully looked at the ground under the girl's feet.However, he was unable to find anything but stones.In desperation, he had no choice but to raise his gaze slightly, and at the same time change the angle to look at the wall behind the girl.He raised his gaze higher and higher, and soon reached the girl's chest, but he never got anything.Zhou Lingfeng secretly warned himself that if he didn't find anything at the height of his neck, he should stop and observe immediately to find another way.He always felt that the problem was with that girl's face, as long as he didn't look at her face, he wouldn't fall into that inexplicable state.This point can already be proved from the inspection during the period just now.

Sudden!Zhou Lingfeng's breathing stagnated, and then he poked his head forward suddenly, staring at the girl's chest with wide eyes.

He saw that the girl's chest was trembling slightly, rising and falling like breathing.Although the range of this movement is so small that it is not easy to detect, and although the interval between each tremor is unbelievably long, he can be [-]% sure that he is not mistaken.

She... is alive!

Zhou Lingfeng swallowed sharply, and couldn't help but put his hands on the glass and fumbled wildly, subconsciously thinking about how to open this "glass door".At this moment, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in the palm of his hand, and a puff of green smoke came out from the bottom of the palm, as if he pressed the palm of his hand on a red-hot iron plate.

Zhou Lingfeng was startled, and hastily pulled his palm back violently.Unexpectedly, the sudden situation caused him to use the wrong force, tripped his feet, shifted his center of gravity, and fell to the ground staggeringly.

Before he got up, extremely strange situations followed one after another.I saw that piece of pale silver glass seemed to be scalded by something, emitting a faint blue smoke, and began to disappear rapidly starting from the place he touched just now, and disappeared in an instant.And the girl standing behind the glass suddenly opened her eyes at this moment!
