Chapter 12 Ghost City
Xu Yunhan didn't expect that she would come back only a few days after leaving the capital, and found a chain hotel near the East Third Ring Road of the capital to stay.

Now that she looks pretty good, she no longer dares to live in a small hotel without a license as boldly as before, not to mention that she brought back all the antiques and cultural relics at home this time, which cannot be lost.

After a good night's rest, she washed up and set off at around four o'clock the next morning, ready to go to the famous 'ghost market'.

The 'ghost market' is the most Jianghu-like scene in Panjiayuan. 'Ghost market' refers to a temporary market selling antiques at three or four o'clock in the morning.

Speaking of "ghost markets" can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. At that time, the national fortune was in decline, and many dignitaries and dignitaries were in decline, so they stole the antiques from their homes and sold them on the street.After all, this is a matter of demeaning, and you can only choose to trade with lanterns at three or four in the morning, so that the buyer can't see his face.It got its name because it looks like a ghost.So all antique dealers know that ghost markets produce good products.

There is also a saying that the ghost market opens early, the sky is still dark, and there are no electric lights. The black paint is smeared, the poor are lighting flints, and the rich are carrying lanterns. ,Erratic.Half of the ghosts are gone, and the ghost spirit comes first.In addition, many gentlemen of Liangshang also came here to sell some shady things, and even counterfeiters took advantage of the chaos to sell some fake products, both of which were sneaky.In short, it is inseparable from the word "ghost", hence the name of the ghost market.

Further down, it becomes more and more legendary.It is said that the ghost market opens when yin and yang alternate, and the surroundings are flickering and dim. I bought something from you and went back into the coffin on hind legs.

The most interesting of all kinds of legends is that it is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi had to ask her eunuchs to prepare fox fur for her [-]th birthday.Seeing that the time limit was approaching, the little eunuch burned incense and worshiped Buddha in desperation, and he really responded. He bought the top-quality fox fur in the ghost market in the dark, but the seller turned around and turned into a wisp of green smoke. After touching the fox skin again, it was still hot, and the little eunuch realized that the seller was the incarnation of a fox fairy, so he took off the skin to save his life.

No matter what the source of Panjiayuan's ghost market is, and no matter how credible it is, all kinds of legends add mystery to Panjiayuan.

These news came to her by accident when she was a reporter.There are two ghost markets in Panjiayuan every week, Saturday and Sunday, and the ghost market is particularly popular on Saturday.

And today happened to be Saturday, Xu Yunhan left the hotel and took a taxi, "Master, please go to Panjiayuan."

The taxi driver looked in the rearview mirror, "Are you going to visit the ghost market?"

"Yes, I want to see and see."

"Hehe, I've been driving in this area for so many years, and it's really rare to see young beauties like you go to the ghost market. They are usually middle-aged men, and there are more old men."

"However, if you go shopping alone, you have to pay attention to safety. This 'ghost market' is filled with all kinds of messy people. You can go shopping casually, and you will gain insight. Don't spend money on shopping, otherwise... You will be tricked." The driver looked at Xu Yunhan's young age, and couldn't help but kindly advise him.

Not to mention, Xu Yunhan's skin is very good after losing weight. She looks like a 27-year-old girl, and she is just like a girl who is still in college.

It took about ten minutes to arrive at the gate of Panjiayuan. Xu Yunhan thanked the driver and got out of the car and walked towards the gate.

At about 4 o'clock in the morning, the gate of Panjiayuan was already full of people. The stall owners used tricycles to carry cardboard boxes full of small handicrafts. Customers drove and walked to gather outside the gate of Panjiayuan Market. The crowd was crowded, and the gate was rattling.

When the gate opened at 4:[-], the crowd rushed in and took their seats quickly.

After the market opened, although there were many people, the market was not noisy, everyone was whispering, and the somewhat depressing atmosphere made Xu Yunhan a little nervous.

Once you come in, you can feel the crowds inside the shed. The place where the stall is located is full of people, not only Chinese, but also many foreign friends.She noticed that most of the people who came to search for things were holding a flashlight in their hands, and the beams of light illuminated the inside of the shed with mottled light.

In fact, every regular customer has a flashlight, and the original intention is to see the goods more clearly. This is a rule passed down from the previous life, so there is no need to be so grand, because the lights in Panjiayuan Market are very bright.

But a flashlight is a must, it's a sign that the buyer is knowledgeable.But obviously a rookie like Xu Yunhan didn't know, she just came with a bag and her hands waving.

Although there were a lot of people, not every booth was full of people. It was obvious that some booths were very popular, while some were not. In front of the popular booths, it could be seen that there were some old customers who were very knowledgeable.Xu Yunhan guessed that those crowded stalls should indeed have good items.

She also wanted to squeeze in and have a look, tried to squeeze in several times, but couldn't find a way, and finally had no choice but to give up.

Walking inside, there was a dusty and dirty cloth on the floor in a corner that was a bit out of the way, with some things scattered on it. There was a clean-dressed man with a bookish face about 20 years old. The young man of many years sat there and shook his head little by little, seemingly falling asleep.

Some people came to his booth one after another, picked up things, looked at them, and left.Xu Yunhan approached, took a glance, there were seven or eight items, squatted down and tried them all, but there was no abnormality, these items were all made in recent years.

Standing up and about to leave, the wind picked up slightly, and with the cool breeze, she could smell the special earthy smell from Tu Fuzi's body. She moved closer, and it really came from the scholar-like stall owner.

Now Xu Yunhan didn't intend to leave, and squatted down again, "Boss, boss~"

"It's all at the stall, see for yourself." The man opened his eyes and glanced at her, and was about to close his eyes after speaking impatiently.

"I've seen it all, and there's nothing I want. Boss, I heard that there are local goods in this ghost market, right? I'm here to buy some local goods."

The scholar stall owner stared at her for a while, then took out a sack from behind and handed it to her, "Take a look."

Xu Yunhan didn't talk nonsense, opened the sack, there were a lot of things, in order to save time, the ghost market will end at dawn, she always picks up one and puts down another, just like a woman who doesn't know how to discriminate when choosing clothes. Deciding whether to buy or not depends on whether it is pleasing to the eye or not.

No, no, still no.After looking at all the things, there is no abnormality in one thing.

"Boss, is there anything else? I don't like any of these." Since he is in that business, he must have something on hand, and it depends on whether he is willing to take it out.

The scholar stall owner took a surprised look at Xu Yunhan, then glanced around, and finally took out a small soft cotton bag from the small wooden box he had been sitting in, "That's all, look for yourself. "

She nodded, there were only two things inside, a green agate bracelet, and a hollowed-out carved jade pot

Due to the nature of a woman, she picked up the beautiful green agate bracelet first, but as soon as she got it, she heard a woman's voice screaming, which made her tremble in fright, gasped, and almost fell to the ground. To throw the bracelet out.

Put it down quickly, this bracelet must have been pulled off a female corpse, I couldn't help feeling horrified, and didn't dare to touch it again.
