Chapter 38 Old Man Gu

"In the past, there were troops in many ravines, far away from human habitation. The troops were transferred away for special reasons. Before leaving, they sealed the windows and doors with bricks, and then left. A place like this would not last a year.

It’s just overgrown with grass, and it’s even more deserted. Ghost markets usually open in places like this.” Shen Xing talked to us as he walked, while Brother Chengxin and I strode forward.

Xin Xin couldn't tell whether he was excited or worried. Compared to that girl Shen Xing, she was much calmer. Xin Xin explained to us all the way, maybe it was the reason why she had been here once.

There is no path downhill, but there are obvious traces of human trampling, which is a bit steep. However, judging from the traces, it is estimated that most people may walk in different ways in the mountains, but they all come down from this hillside.

The road was a bit steeper, but it was downhill after all. After walking for less than half an hour, we finally arrived at the gate of this building.

The entrance of the building is very simple, a large iron gate, and outside the iron gate is a sentry box. Because the iron gate is separated, the scene inside the door cannot be seen clearly, but the outside of the iron gate is covered with grass, which makes it look a bit desolate.

I lit a cigarette, calmed down my mood, and then took the lead and walked forward. Brother Chengxin followed closely behind me, and the girl Shen Xing walked at the end without saying a word.

But when I walked to the iron gate, I saw a big lock on the gate. I pushed hard and it didn't budge.

"What are you doing?" Just when I wanted to ask Shen Xing what was going on, an old-sounding voice suddenly appeared.

I turned around and saw that there was an old man in the guard box. At this time, his head was sticking out of the window of the guard box, staring at us with a somewhat unfriendly look.

I just glanced at him, and I was a little shocked. This old man is not simple.

You should know that the more advanced a person's skills are, the brighter their eyes will be, which is a representative of the soul power. If a person's eyes are cloudy, his energy and spirit must be poor, and his soul may even be weak.

"When you look at a Taoist, first look at his eyes. Generally speaking, his bright skills are not bad. Then, look at his eyes, and you can see a little bit of his character." This is what Master once taught me, but Master is an old man.

I disappeared too early, and I probably haven’t seen the current contact lenses and makeup technology. As soon as I walked down the street, I saw all the high-end women on the street.

I wasn’t the only one who discovered the problem. Brother Chengxin also noticed it and whispered in my ear: "This old man must be powerful. He didn’t even see his appearance clearly. He just saw a pair of bright eyes. He didn’t know it was night."

Can it reflect green light like a wolf’s eyes?”

I ignored Brother Chengxin, but gave Shen Xing a confused look. Shen Xing smiled faintly and said, "I didn't tell you on purpose, just to let you remember not to be reckless in the ghost market."

This girl has so much on her mind.

Now is not the time to talk nonsense with her. Brother Chengxin and I went straight to the guard box. The old man had already retreated and was sitting there leisurely fanning himself. He was holding an enamel jar in his hand. The fragrance of tea emanating from it made us laugh.

As someone who drank a lot of good tea with Master, I couldn't help but praise him.

When he saw Brother Chengxin and I arriving, the old man didn't ask anything. Instead, he started to look us up and down.

At this time, I also looked at him carefully. His hair was a little gray and very long, tied casually with a rubber band. He was wearing a yellow monk's robe with his chest open. It was a little dirty. What was also dirty was his white hair.

Cotton pants, only the Shifang shoes on my feet were still clean.

And his facial features are very ordinary, but like my master, he doesn't look very old. His eyes have returned to normal at this time, no different from ordinary people. His eyes are as calm as a lake. If you want to see your character through your eyes, you may not be able to tell.

It’s realistic.

This made my heart thump again. It's easy to show off, but difficult to keep introverted. At least I don't have this level. It requires my master. Otherwise, if he looks at beauties on the street with a pair of bright eyes, he will probably be beaten more.

probability.

"I'll beat you to death. Your eyes light up when you see a beautiful woman." I think people will think so.

After being silent for a few seconds, the old man reached out and picked at his scalp. Under the flying dandruff, he suddenly smiled, then looked directly around Brother Chengxin and me, and smiled at Shen Xing: "You little kid

Girl, are you here again?"

Shen Xing pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Hello, Grandpa Gu, I'm not here this time. I'm here to help Master Liu bring two friends. I won't go into the ghost market. I'll just wait outside for the market to disperse, and then we'll go together

Walk."

"It's better not to enter, it's better not to enter. You can't pray to God too much, let alone deal with ghosts." He said to Shen Xing cheerfully, and then turned his eyes to Brother Chengxin and me, and said: "Tell me your name, I will inherit from you."

, without a master, just show one or two small skills to prove that ordinary people cannot enter this ghost market."

Ordinary people can't enter, so how did Shen Xing enter? I was confused, but when it came to Shen Xing's personal affairs, I couldn't argue with the old man, so I said: "Chen Chengyi, learned from Jiang Lichun, there is nothing wrong with our lineage

The name is Lao Li."

As soon as I spoke, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a trace of shock in his eyes, but his expression towards me softened a lot. At this time, Brother Chengxin also spoke: "Su Chengxin, studied under Chen Liren

, in the same vein as him.”

The old man sighed "tsk" and "tsk" after hearing what we said, and said: "This is a rare guest among rare guests, wait for me to see."

I didn't know what he wanted to see, and I was just wondering when I saw him take out a white book covered with black fingerprints from the drawer, and started to look through it. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Sure enough,

They are from the lineage of Lao Li. What kind of wind is this blowing? Two of them came with one blow. Each of them paid a thousand yuan and went in."

"Do you still need to pay?" Brother Chengxin asked casually while taking out the money.

The old man snatched the money from Brother Chengxin's hand and muttered angrily: "Why don't you pay? You move in, use water and electricity, nothing is money? If it weren't for the fact that you are of the same lineage as Lao Li,

I didn't even bother to scold you, so I just beat you back."

Brother Chengxin didn't dare to reply, he was quite helpless. His gentle and gentle face, which could be liked by anyone, had no effect on the old man. The old man shook his spittle, counted a thousand dollars, and then handed over

The remaining money was thrown back to Brother Chengxin.

When he looked at me, I didn't dare to neglect, so I quickly handed over the counted thousand yuan. He nodded with satisfaction, took out two thin, poorly printed pamphlets from the drawer and threw them to me.

After asking us, he shook the key and lazily opened the door.

The rusty iron door that creaked and creaked made an unpleasant sound when it was opened. Old man Gu didn't care. He opened the door and said to us: "Before 12 o'clock in the evening on the 12th, this door

You can't go out through the gate, but of course you can stay until the 13th."

As the door closed, I glanced at Old Man Gu. I always felt that he might know something about our Lao Li family. Unfortunately, this old man seemed a bit intimidating and would not disturb strangers.

, it must be quite difficult to find out anything from him.

Standing inside the gate, all you can see is a concrete road leading directly to a large dam. There are two red brick buildings on both sides of the dam. They are far apart, and it is unclear whether anyone is there.

It was not as lively as I imagined, but not a soul could be seen. If I hadn't seen someone moving on the hillside, I would have suspected that I was in the wrong place.

After adjusting my backpack, I said: "Let's go."

But Shen Xing said: "You and Chengxin should look at the booklets in your hands before going in."

I knew that Shen Xing would not make a mistake, so I opened the poorly printed booklet in my hand. Unexpectedly, the opening chapter introduced the locations of the 21 ghost markets in detail. The next part focused on the introduction of Ghost No. 5.

city.

After reading this part, I finally understand why there is no one here. It turns out that there are strict requirements for entering here, where to stay, and where to move around. The reason for this is to avoid collisions between humans and ghosts, or accidents.

What a bad incident.

In short, I learned that everything here is under supervision. There are two organizations responsible for supervision this time. One of them is a temporary organization composed of some experts who are idle on weekdays and are not very born. It is called Ming Dynasty for short.

Get organized.

The other organization is composed of some people who are born in the world, but they don't seem to act very openly. Let's call it the dark organization for short.
