Chapter 175 Ghost Market
There was obviously no fog at all in the city, but when we left the city, the countryside was completely white, with visibility down to two meters.
Huo Xingye drove very slowly, "Dad, did you go the wrong way?"
Huo Yunjing half-closed his eyes, "It's true, ghosts have a clear sense of the ghost market to ensure that every ghost wandering in the world has the opportunity to participate in the ghost market."
"The ghost market is an annual event in the underworld, and it is very lively every year." Gu Qingyin added: "I came here once when I was a child. There are many interesting things. I don't know if there have been any changes after so many years."< br>
Huo Yunjing was in a daze after hearing this. Why did he feel that he had been to the ghost market before? But it was obvious that he was suppressed soon after he became a ghost.
The car passed through the fog and stopped beside a stone bridge. Opposite the stone bridge was an ancient town.
Under the dark night, there are little orange lights, setting off the whole town, which is even more beautiful than some Internet celebrity attractions.
"This is a ghost market?!" Huo Xingchen couldn't believe it, "This is completely different from what I imagined!"
Gu Qingyin got out of the car and asked casually: "What did you imagine it would be like?"
Huo Xingchen also got out of the car, staring at the scene in front of him and murmuring, "It's spooky and terrifying. There are ghosts with severed hands and feet and heads everywhere. The things they sell are weird, poisonous, cursed, and full of evil spirits..." < br>
"You are right." Gu Qingyin explained: "The ghost market a long time ago was indeed similar to what you imagined. At that time, the ghost market was very chaotic. Whether it was a ghost or a heavenly master, a person who came there would have a narrow escape from death. ”
"Later, I heard that the underworld sent people to rectify it. It took several years to get a prototype. After a long period of development, it became like this."
Huo Xingchen suddenly realized, "Because of this, this ghost market is now officially held?"
"So be it."
Before going in, Gu Qingyin looked at the ropes on Huo Xingye and Huo Xingchen's hands, checked the hidden talismans on the camera, and then took the trouble to warn them again.
"Don't walk around and don't ask questions. The road conditions are complicated and unstable. You might turn around and see a wall when you turn around. If you see anything you are curious about or don't understand, you can ask me quietly. Don't talk to other ghosts easily. , it is easy to expose your identity and be taken away.”
Gu Qingyin looked serious, "Although the ghost market has become much less hostile to the Celestial Master after its rectification, there are still some who hate the Celestial Master and humans. The safest way is not to be exposed."
Huo Xingye and Huo Xingchen both listened very carefully.
Finally, Gu Qingyin took out three masks from her bag, and the mother and son put them on one by one.
"The mask has been treated to effectively isolate the two yin and yang qi, preventing detection and at the same time preventing excessive inhalation of yin qi from harming the body."
When everything was ready, Gu Qingyin led her sons onto the stone bridge. After taking two steps, she turned around in confusion and looked at Huo Yunjing, who was standing at the end of the bridge looking at the ghost market.
"Cloudscape? What are you looking at?"
Huo Yunjing suddenly came to his senses, shook his head, and followed them.
Gu Qingyin looked at her suspiciously.
Huo Yunjing walked over and held her hand, whispering: "We'll talk about it when we get home."
After crossing the stone bridge, you can see a big stone three meters high, with four words written in black and scrawled on it - Fengdu Ghost City.
Huo Xingye paused slightly when he saw those four words. The words looked familiar...
"This handwriting looks a bit like yours." Gu Qingyin suddenly said and patted Huo Yunjing with her hand.
Huo Xingye suddenly realized that it turned out to be a resemblance to his father.
Huo Yunjing was also in a trance, and even had hallucinations before his eyes.
A tall man wearing a black robe stood in front of the stone pier and carved several large characters with the long sword in his hand.
Gu Qingyin didn't get a response and couldn't help turning her head to look at him, only to find that he was lost in thought.
The suspicion in her heart became even stronger. The ghost market was more prosperous than they thought. The ghosts coming and going were very particular, clean and human-like, and some even wore Taoist robes.
Not to mention Huo Xingye and Huo Xingchen, even Gu Qingyin was confused.
What, is the ghost world now the sworn enemy of popular cosplay?
Huo Xingchen quietly approached his mother and whispered: "Are we a little too conspicuous?"
Gu Qingyin looked at the black Tang suit she was wearing, and then at the black T-shirts and jeans worn by her two sons.
Indeed, the ordinary one is a bit too conspicuous.
But when she turned around and saw that Huo Yunjing was still wearing a black shirt and black trousers, Gu Qingyin felt relieved again and whispered: "Don't worry about how we dress, just treat us as ordinary tourists visiting the exhibition."
Huo Xingchen nodded with a learned expression.
On both sides of the street are all kinds of weird shops, talking skull masks, spliced pets unique to the ghost world, flowers that eat souls but bloom very beautifully...
In addition to these strange things, there are also some normal ones, such as the special cinnabar.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Normal cinnabar can cause harm to ghosts when used to draw talisman formations, but the effect of special cinnabar is exactly the opposite. The talisman formations drawn with it are of great benefit to ghosts.
This kind of cinnabar is one of the reasons why Gu Qingyin came to the ghost market.
Of course you cannot use soft sister coins to buy things in the ghost market, nor are they paper money as people in the earth think. In fact, the paper money and gold and silver ingots that people in the human world burn every year are all garbage in the ghost world.
Fortunately, the ghost world is large enough, and the underworld has specially sent people to deal with these things. Until now, the paper money mountain and Yuanbao mountain in the ghost world have become famous attractions.
The currency in circulation in the ghost world is Yin Si paper, which is the only official currency recognized by the underworld. Its denomination is similar to that of soft sister coins. Without paper money, tens of billions and hundreds of billions can be easily transferred.
As early as half a month before the ghost market opened, Gu Qingyin went to Xuanxie to exchange a large amount of Yin Si paper. The exchange ratio was 1:6, 1 soft girl coin, and 6 Yin Si paper.
More than enough to cover tonight's expenses.
Gu Qingyin came here just for shopping, and even cleaned up her bag to make a large space for the trophies.
Thirty kilograms of special cinnabar is enough to last until the ghost market opens next year. There are ten special brushes, and you should be able to use ten of them in a year, but they are cheap, so it’s okay to stock up on more.
Continuing to walk inside, Huo Xingchen fell in love with a piece of bamboo. The shop owner said that it was Thunder Bamboo. If you take it home and raise it, you can grow bamboo shoots. Eating it can purify impurities in the body and improve your cultivation talent.
Huo Xingchen was very excited. After eating this bamboo shoot, would his yin and yang eyes evolve?
But Thunder Bamboo is a bit expensive. One forearm length costs 20,000 yuan, and there is no guarantee that it will be able to sustain life.
Huo Xingchen hesitated again and again, but gritted his teeth and said, "Give me five!" Five can always feed one, right?
Gu Qingyin and Huo Yunjing originally just watched leisurely. After all, stupid young people were deceived in the ghost market every year, and there was nothing wrong with learning from the mistakes and gaining wisdom.
But who would have thought that this stupid son, buying one is not enough, and wants five at once! It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s mainly because I was defrauded of too much money, which is a bit embarrassing!
Gu Qingyin and Huo Yunjing looked at each other, and the moment Huo Xingchen handed over the money, they took the silly son away.
The shop owner reluctantly stretched out his hand, "Do you still want it? I can give you a discount!"
Huo Xingye said calmly: "Sorry, we don't want it anymore."
The store owner was saddened by the loss of his stupidly wealthy customer: ...Oh!
