Otherworldly Merchant

The annual New Year's Eve arrived, I booked a table of dishes at the hotel in advance, and had dinner with Yin Xinyue, Li Mazi, Chu Chu, and Li Xiaomeng.

Li Mazi is particularly emotional, and this day should be a dream for him.

I had a few more drinks as soon as I was happy and my eyes were red.

Although Li Mazi was smiling on the surface, I knew he was actually covering up his grief.

When he went to the bathroom, I followed him secretly and found Li Mazi squatting in the bathroom crying.

He told me that Chu Chu was getting weaker and weaker. He often coughed up blood in the middle of the night. He worried that Chu Chu would not last long...

I've been quiet for a while. Is everything serious now?

I don't know how to persuade Li Mazi, I can only smoke one cigarette after the other. After smoking enough, this will return to the seat and continue drinking.

And as we were closing, the voice of Amitabha came.

I was delighted to see the past and discovered that it was the White Eyebrow Zen Master and T-shirt Man!

White Eyebrow Zen still has that kind smile on his face: “It's sad to be alone in the New Year's Eve. Let's see how lively you guys are. Can you make the old lady feel better? ”

I was excited and rushed to invite Master White Eyebrow Zen and the T-shirt man to the table. I ordered two more bottles of Maotai wine and drank it smoothly.

Unfortunately, the White Eyebrow Zen master and the T-shirt man, a monk and a Taoist, don't drink.

Just ordered two jasmine teas for a delicate taste.

Yin Xinyue and Chu Chu also drank two cups of Maotai, blushing and more delicate than on weekdays.

I saw that the two were a little tiny, so I let Li Xiaomeng take them home first.

I know that Master White Eyebrow Zen and the T-shirt man came to see us. There must be something wrong. Maybe it has something to do with the Night Dragon!

So after the three of them left, I couldn't wait to ask the T-shirt man if he had found the whereabouts of the night dragon.

The T-shirt man silenced for a moment and said, "How long since the last time? ”

I just tried to pinch the count, but Li Mazi spoke out: “Five months and 17 days. ”

Li Mazi is counting the days of life.

“Mmm!”

T-shirt men nod their heads and nothing goes down.

Now Lee Ma Zi is in a hurry. What do you mean by "T-shirt man"? How long has Chu Chu been here?

The T-shirt man hesitated for a moment and glanced at the White Eyebrow Zen Master.

White Eyebrow Zen smiled and picked up the tea. “Don't worry, we are here with an important clue about the night dragon...”

I saw Li Mazi get excited, his hands shaking with chopsticks.

Now ask Master Bai Mei Zen: "Master, now that we have the clue, let's hurry! Chu Chu can't afford to delay. ”

White Eyebrow Zen sighed and said: "But the place is extremely dangerous, even if I go in with the first time, I can't walk away. If I take you both with me, I'm afraid it'll be a lot worse. ”

Li Mazi photographed the chopsticks on the table: “Master, don't say that. Just tell me where it is and I'll go alone. ”

White Eyebrow said, "Do you know the ghost market? ”

“Ghost Market? ”

I stunned for a moment, so good night dragon, how did I get involved with the ghost market?

I know ghost markets, and ghost markets generally have two meanings.

The first refers to illegal markets in the streets. Because stalls come in all shapes and colors, and they sell antiques dug out of graves, or unknown babies, they choose to set up stalls after dark in order to escape the police, so they are called: ghost markets.

And the second one is much scarier, referring to the market that humans open to ghosts! You give ghosts a little bit of a benefit, and ghosts can suck on yangshou, or leak astronomers, and so on.

The most famous is Fengdu Haunted City in Chongqing, as well as the old Shanghai temple.

So I said to Master Bai Mei Zen, “Haunted market, I still know a little bit, Toyoto Haunted City, isn't it the famous haunted market? Every year when the ghost door closes, a lot of people go there and make secret deals with ghosts. ”

But Master White Eyebrow shook his head and said, "Goodness, goodness! The real ghost market, in fact, has no fixed location, it will appear anywhere in the country immediately, and it will only be open for a week, after a week it will wait another year..."

“This time, we discovered that the ghost market appeared around the wild dog ridge, and the reason the ghost market appeared there was the legend that villagers had dug a shady dragon horn in the hoe. The old man suspects this dragon horn is the night dragon. I'm afraid only a night dragon can attract a ghost market? ”

If I nodded thoughtfully: "Wild Dog Hill? Is it a small tourist area 300 kilometers away? I used to cross the highway and often see signs for Wild Dog Hill. ”

The White Eyebrow Zen nodded immediately: "Yes, that's it. ”

“White Eyebrow Zen Master, do you have any plans?” I asked.

The White Eyebrow Zen Master sighed slightly: “The place seems to have infinite scenery, but it's actually very dangerous. I think it's better to explore the road! Follow me, you two. If it's dangerous, pick us up on the side of the road. If it's not dangerous, go back inside. ”

I thought the White Eyebrow Zen Master was right, so I asked him, "Okay, White Eyebrow Zen Master, when are we leaving? ”

“Now. ”

After discussing it, Li Mazi and I went home and told Yin Xinyue and Chu Chu about it.

When I heard about going to Haunted Market, Yin Shin-Moon Tong got so excited, I guess she couldn't wait to open her eyes, huh?

Chu Chu, however, was full of sadness and reluctant to let Li Mazi go.

She knows the dangers of Ghost Market!

However, Li Mazi's mind has decided, how can he retreat due to Chu Chu's blockage?

So Chuchu still persisted in the end, but Li Mazi, let go. Yin Xinyue also repeatedly told me to take a few more photos.

I cried for a while and took a few more pictures... think I'm going on vacation.

After saying goodbye to the two of us, we got in the car.

Along the way, after reaching the Wild Dog Ridge Expressway exit, you can see a great mountain ahead. The mountain is called Wild Dog Ridge.

I don't understand. Why is a mountain so tall called a ridge?

There must be some special reason, right?

Park the car under Wild Dog Ridge for a clearer look. Wild dog ridges are full of messy thorns, dense numbness, typical wild mountain ridges. There is a fog on it, which makes the whole mountain full of mystery.

The temperature at the bottom of the mountain was a little low, with occasional cold winds, and I regretted not bringing any more clothes.

“Where's the ghost market?” Li Mazi asked.

White Eyebrow Zen said: "Cross this wild dog ridge with a village behind it. The village is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is equivalent to a small basin, and the village is at the bottom of the basin, causing all the surrounding yin to flow into the village, and the yin can be felt more than ten miles away! So I suspected the ghost market would open in the village. ”

“Then let's go inside.” Li Mazi couldn't wait to say: “I think there's just one way over there. ”

Master White Eyebrow shook his head: “In the opinion of the old man, why don't you two wait outside and I and Chuichi go in and explore the path. That path, the villagers came out of the ridge, we can't walk, otherwise it is easy to expose..."

I rushed in and asked, "Are we going to sneak in without the villagers knowing? ”

The White Eyebrow Zen nodded his head: "That's right, this is also the sky machine. If I'm right, things are starting to get weird in the village, right? If a stranger came, they would have been wary. ”

We talked about it for a while. Li Mazi refused to stay outside. We must go in.

He's still worried about the White Eyebrow Zen master and the T-shirt man, and won't be searching for the Night Dragon.

Finally, I suggest that we all go in and explore the road as tourists, so that we can take care of each other.

After figuring this out, we stopped talking, and under the leadership of the T-shirt man, we paved the way in the weeds and climbed the wild dog ridge with difficulty!
