How to get started

"Oh, what about Brother Chen? Did you go in with Uncle Jing?" Happiness asked.

Brother Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Ah?! I, I have never gone in!"

As soon as his words came out, the other three were stunned, and they all stared at Brother Chen.

Xiaopang was the first to say: "Brother Chen, don't play with us."

"Brother Chen, tell a joke. We can count on you this time." Persimmon said.

Happiness smiled bitterly: "Come on, Brother Chen, do you think we can count on you?"

Brother Chen hesitated, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything.They were standing at the entrance of the ghost city, but now this problem was in front of them.

Xiaopang asked: "Then shall we go or not? What if we go in and can't get out?"

Happiness said: "I have already arrived here, do I want to go back?"

After being silent for a while, Brother Chen finally spoke: "You guys can trust me, just go in. I went to my master yesterday and today to ask again, the way to enter and exit the ghost market. And as long as we are not harmful, in the ghost city There will be no danger in the city. The ghost market is also a market, as long as there are common ingots, the ghosts there are welcome."

Persimmon said in a low voice, "It's all about theory but no practice. Can you get in or not?"

Happiness said affirmatively: "Come in! If it's late at night, I wouldn't have come in vain."

Xiaopang also said: "Come in! Nothing happened last time I went in. And I was thinking of finding a baby for my grandma."

Persimmon hesitated for a moment, then said: "Go ahead, I'm always thinking, there is a 'Jing Yuan' in the ghost market, and whether there is a 'Now', why not go and see for yourself."

Now that everyone has agreed to go in, the matter begins.

Brother Chen took out a red lantern from his bag, and something was written on the red lantern in black.They don't know each other anyway.After lighting the lantern, Brother Chen took out a handful of paper money, threw it into the sky, and walked slowly into the alley step by step.He whispered, everyone just look at the place where the red light of the lantern falls, don't look outside.

The small lantern illuminates such a small area, and it is almost enough for four people to stand together.And everyone can see Brother Chen's trembling hands, and they don't know if it's cold or he is also nervous.

The place where the red light hit gradually turned bright from the darkness at the beginning, and then some black paper shoes were seen walking around.

The four raised their heads, and what they saw was another scene.In their eyes, ghost markets are no different from ordinary night markets.People who come and go, if they don't look carefully, they won't find that they are all ghosts.

Brother Chen kept holding the lantern and said, "The oil in the lantern can light the lamp for two hours. During the two hours, our lamp cannot be extinguished. We must go out before the lamp goes out."

"Two hours is enough. Last time we came in for half an hour, I had a cold." Xiaopang patted the persimmon: "Hey, have you taken your medicine today? You started to catch a cold the day before yesterday."

"Okay, okay, let's go to the 'present' first." Persimmon said and took the lead to walk into the ghost city.

The four people passed by the door of "Jingyuan" without stopping, and went straight down.If their guess is correct, they will see "now" in the first few stores.

While Happiness and Brother Chen are lamenting the exact same "Crystal Fate", Xiaopang and Persimmon are lamenting, why don't they have the exact same "now"?

Xiaopang and Persimmon have an indescribable loss.Especially Persimmon, he has always had this intuition that in the ghost market, there must be an identical "present", but now it seems that there really is no.At the beginning, I thought so well, thinking that as long as I can find the "now", I can solve these things.But now it is so much different than expected.How could they not be lost?

This feeling, as if today, Persimmon was planning to snatch Tiansi away, but in the end it didn't work out.

Xiaopang patted Persimmon on the shoulder and said, "If you don't have one, then you don't have one. Let's find a treasure for me."

When saying these words, the ghost city is almost coming to an end.Xiaopang grabbed Persimmon's shoulders and dragged him back.No matter how long the ghost market was, they came in with lanterns on, and they had to go out and walk all the way in two hours. It took half an hour anyway, and there was almost enough time for some activities.

Happiness and Brother Chen are also very supportive of the activity time.There are some things in the ghost market that are simply impossible to buy outside.

When the four of them passed "Jing Yuan" again, Persimmon stopped suddenly and looked in surprise at Gui Yi who was standing in front of "Jing Yuan" and smiling towards them.Because just now, the voice of an elderly man appeared in his mind.This voice did not pass through his ears, but directly appeared in his mind.

The voice said, "I will make you into black beads and give them to Tencel."

When Persimmon looked over, he saw Guiyi, that fat old man.No one else heard this voice, so Qu Censhi was the only one who stopped.He looked at the smiling Gui Yi, who was wearing a Chinese-style button-down dress, with a smug smile on his face.

He said that he would make persimmons into black beads and give them to Tiansi.The meaning of this sentence is...

Before Persimmon had time to think about it, Xiaopang had already dragged him to the small stall of Furongjing last time.The little boss at the stall still remembered them, and said, "Hey, you two came in again? Where's the zero? I didn't bring you to order."

Xiaopang said: "Do you have a red cloth for mourning old people?"

"Yes. Just last month, a 96-year-old man just died. As soon as he came down, the family members had not had time to do some errands, so I made some for him, and exchanged a piece of red cloth with him. You too I know, since the old man is gone, this kind of red cloth is just a symbol of binding points. This price..."

Xiaopang was arrogant: "Here, tell me how much. I'll burn two large baskets of ingots for you when I go back." In that world, he is a rich man.Now that RMB is exchanged for Yuanbao, it is almost the same as exchanging Vietnamese Dong.Don't spend too much effort.

"Okay, two big baskets, what you said." The stall owner happily wrapped the red cloth on the carpet with straw paper, handed it over, and gave his name, and asked them to burn the ingots, but I need a roll call.If the errands couldn't deliver it to him, he would go up to them at night to ask for it.

Xiaopang found what he wanted.But Qu Censhi's mind is still watching Guiyi.

Gui Yi finally gave up on looking at him like this, turned around and walked back to the shop.

For such a long time, both Xingfu and Brother Chen noticed something was wrong with the persimmon.Happiness took Brother Chen's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go to 'Jingyuan'."

This should be the first time Brother Chen was held by a woman's arm, and he withdrew his hand nervously, walking towards "Jingyuan".

Judging from the good market order in the ghost market, Guiyi, the boss of "Jingyuan", would not do anything to them directly.So Happiness took Brother Chen's arm again, and walked into "Jingyuan".

Since that is the opponent, we must know more about it.Know thyself, ever-victorious.If you dare not even enter this store, how will you face the next thing in the future?

Gui Yi turned into the store, and Xingfu dragged Brother Chen's back and followed him in.

Guiyi still had that smiling face, and said, "Miss, what I have here is not suitable for you. Don't you have something more suitable for you on your wrist?"

As soon as happiness came, he said such a sentence, raised his hand to look at the ice blue chalcedony on his wrist, and said with a smile: "Yes. But you can just look at it."

"All right, let's see, let's see. Just don't touch it. If you touch it, I won't be able to sell this thing." He still smiled like that, making people look at him without any pressure.

Both Xingfu and Brother Chen knew his details, and they both knew that he was hiding a knife in his smile.

Xingfu pays attention to the beads in the cabinet, while Brother Chen pays attention to Guiyi.Guiyi didn't worry at all, just wiped a cyan night pearl in the corner of the store with a rag.

Happiness watched and gradually gained confidence in his heart, and then said to Brother Chen: "Let's go, the things here are really not suitable for us."

After taking two steps, Happiness turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, boss, if I want to buy a bead to raise little ghosts, it's better, what price did you get?"

Guiyi smiled and said: "Whether you bring the little ghost or not. It is trained, or it is trained for yourself. Miss, if you are not in this business, you should stop playing with it. Be careful that you are locked in the bead. "

"Well, yes. Brother Chen, let's go. I'm going back."

Brother Chen followed Xingfu out of the store, seeing that Xiaopang had already bought something, he pulled them away from the ghost market immediately.When leaving, Sister Xingfu seemed very anxious, eager to leave here.This makes Xiaopang and Persimmon very strange.Even Brother Chen couldn't figure out what Happiness saw in "Crystal Fate" that made her leave in such a hurry.

The red lanterns with inscriptions on them led them gradually out of the ghost market and back to the dark alley.Looking back, it's still a brightly lit ghost market, it's just a dark and old dead-end alley.

The night wind in the middle of the night was so cold that the four of them shrank their necks. Brother Chen put away the lantern and lit a cigarette with trembling hands.

Happiness said: "What's sold in 'Jingyuan' are not ordinary beads, but containers for raising little ghosts. It's the same nature as the pagoda wood brand used by my uncle Lingzi. But the pagoda wood brand focuses on raising, there is no knot. The little ghosts can come and go freely. The beads there are bounded, and some of the beads contain... ghosts."

If you are happy, the three men are stunned.Brother Chen's trembling hands dropped the cigarettes to the ground.He had been paying attention to Guiyi's every move just now, but he didn't pay attention to the beads in the cabinet.Now when I hear happiness, my hairs stand on end.
