Chapter 109 The Fifth Movement: The Truth...
The ghost city emerges at sunset and rests at sunrise, all ghosts do not ask where they came from, nor where they return.During the opening period, there are frequent ghosts, and the market is ready to close after 10:00.When the market is open, the entrance of the ghost market is connected to the Yin-Yang Road, and the exit is connected to the human world. On the contrary, the entrance is connected to the human world, and the exit is directly facing the Yin-Yang Road.Before the second quarter of Mao, all the ghosts lined up to leave the city, and were supervised by the prison director of the ghost city.
Maybe you don't believe it, this legendary ghost city is so humanized, oh no, it's ghostlike.At intervals, there is such a notice board with the code of conduct for the ghost market posted on it.It describes in detail what can be done, and if you do what you do, you will be arrested, and the penalty corresponding to the violation of the guidelines is attached, and it will even affect the species reborn in the next life if it is serious.
The organization that formulates and promulgates these guidelines is called the Prison Division of the Ghost City, and the staff of the Division of Prisons call them their boss.
"The rules of this ghost market are quite interesting." Shen Wangyan pointed to the second-to-last line, "Anyone who enters the ghost market, if he wants to leave, he needs a 'fate' that should not be more than twenty-eight dollars. The ghost market has a broken relationship."Cutting, if necessary, you can go to the prison office to handle it, and you need to pay ten years of life for every two silks."
After finishing speaking, Young Master Shen looked at Bao Le: "little elder sister, what is your expression?"
The little girl said with a blank face: "There are too many slots, I don't know where to start to complain."
"I've heard from the young master before," Shen San interjected, "the ghost market was founded because some ghosts who were obsessed too much during their lifetime brought the spirit of the world into the yin and yang way, colliding with the chaos in the yin and yang way.Lord Yin and Yang thought it was too dirty, so he drove all the ghosts with too much mortal qi to the ghost market. The mortal qi can be visualized in the ghost market as a thing called "Yuansi", which is controlled by the prisonOnly after cutting off the edge thread can we enter reincarnation normally."
Shen Wangyan was stunned: "This sounds like another version, so is this service originally free? Sure enough, corrupt officials are all black."
Bao Le nodded in agreement, it was rare to have the same idea as Shen Wangyan.
Shen San said again: "Every ghost that comes to the ghost market is a new ghost who has not been to the Yin-Yang Dao. The ghost market only cares about 'fate' and does not care about 'sin', even if it was full of evil in life, as long as you follow the rules of the ghost market.If you follow the rules, you will be able to enter the Yin-Yang Dao. Afterwards, the Lord of Yin-Yang Dao and the ghost officials will determine his guilt. Therefore, the ghosts here are not easy to mess with. Let us be careful."
Shen Wangyan was quite speechless: "Listen to what you said, the prison chief doesn't care about things. It only needs to be responsible for the ghosts who go out to meet the standard, and it doesn't care about what happens inside. You said that if the victim died within two days, the police arrested the murderer and sent them down together. When the two met in the ghost market, they were not allowed to fight? Is the prison supervisor not in charge?"
"Probably don't care." Shen San was almost choked to death by his words, "After all, the more violent they are, the more serious the relationship will be. Then when they leave at the end, won't the jailer make more money?"
"Then what if they don't leave," Young Master Shen curled his lips, "Did no one object to it after all these years?"
Shen San was confused: "I really don't know about this."
Jun Zhi on the side glanced at them, followed what they said, and said with a blank expression: "Yes, it's useless."
"My lord said so, I remembered, and I was almost let in by you, young master." Shen San hurriedly said as if waking up from a dream, "The prison director of the ghost market is actually not under the control of the Yin and Yang Dao, because the ghost market is outside the Yin and Yang Dao.The hands of Lord Yin and Yang can’t extend the Dao of Yin and Yang. But the descendants of the Shen family have been the incarnation of Lord Yin and Yang since ancient times, and they can go back and forth between the world and the Dao of Yin and Yang. Therefore, if there is chaos in the ghost market, there will be a director of the Department of Criminal Prisons in Midnight in his dreamThe Patriarch of the Shen family at that time sat in front and returned at dawn."
Shen Wangyan was confused, but Bao Le understood. She patted the young master on the shoulder and said earnestly, "So, you are actually the boss of the legendary corrupt officials!"
Young Master Shen almost choked on his own saliva.
Bao Le said again: "Since you are the boss, I would like to make a suggestion. It's fine if the notice is in traditional Chinese characters, but it's still in classical Chinese. I didn't think about being illiterate when I saw it, or that foreign friends couldn't read it after they died.This question. The human world is taking the international route, and we in the underworld can’t lag behind, don’t you think so!”
Shen Wangyan shook off her hand and shuddered: "So, after talking so much, how should we get out? Which of you found the way?"
This is a relatively realistic question, but after so long, no one has thought about it.It's not that they don't want to think about it, but that they really have no experience. It can be seen that for the Shen family, nothing can be missing without a reliable young master.
Among them, Jun Zhi, who was more reliable, thought for a while and suggested, "Go east."
Bao Le was puzzled: "Is there any basis?"
"East is the direction of the sunrise."
"So?"
Obviously this answer is also guessed by Jun Zhi, the exit may not be in the east, but he knows a more important thing: "Ghost market will suck our vitality, the longer we stay, the weaker we will be, the most yang energy in the east, it willGet comfortable, otherwise we won't be able to last until dawn. We will stay here first, and then we will find a way to get out."
...
They headed east all the way according to what Junzhi said, but this route was not as comfortable as imagined.What Jun Zhi said is right, the longer you stay in the ghost market, the living people will become more and more in a trance due to the influence of the surrounding Yin Qi.Especially the lack of yang energy of women themselves, this phenomenon is more obvious, Shen Xing'er is the first one among them who can't stand it.In the end, she had to lie on Shen San's back, unable to walk by herself at all.
But Shen Xing'er didn't lie on the ground for long, Shen San himself began to feel uncomfortable, almost staggered, and even fell to the ground with Shen Xing'er.
At that time, they were in an area where ghosts were relatively dense in the ghost city. This stagger caused several ghosts to turn their heads one after another.The wanton ghost aura caused the surrounding temperature to drop below zero, the air condensed, and frost began to fall from the sky.The frost flowers were crystal clear, reflecting the glowing will-o'-the-wisps around them, very much like the scene where the fire corpse approached in the soul refining field.
Due to the cooling down, Bao Le's nose was unbearably itchy, and he sneezed loudly.It doesn't matter if you sneeze, snot or tears, what matters is that you leak a little anger.It is normal for ghosts who have just died to be unable to distinguish between living people and ghosts, but they are too sensitive to the excessive edge in this ray of anger.
The little girl flinched, and the ghosts surrounding her began to whisper and whisper.Pointing at her, they all seemed to say, "Look, there's a living person here."
More and more ghosts put down their deals and rushed towards her in a line, even forming a natural barrier between her and Jun Zhi.They may not be evil spirits, but seeing that the stranger still couldn't restrain their instinctive desires, they wanted to possess her with all their teeth and claws.
Fortunately, Bao Le was smart and took out the amulet in time. No matter where the ghost is, as long as it is a ghost or an evil thing, he must give her face.
Outside the group of ghosts, Jun Zhi helped the crumbling Shen San, and handed him over to Shen Wangyan.Young Master Shen looked confused, before he realized what happened, all the weight was on him in the next second.
Jun Zhi let go, and rushed into the ghosts by himself.
Bao Le clutched the amulet tightly, not daring to take a breath.I don't know how long I have been holding my breath, and seeing that I can't hold it any longer, Jun Zhi broke out of the encirclement and pulled her back.He pulled out the folding fan from his waist and opened it with a "wow" to block her.She exhaled lightly on the fan, and at the same time took in a mouthful of fresh air laced with sandalwood.
This is not an ordinary fan, this was the only thought she had when she took the fan from Junzhi.Because it was obviously an opaque white fan, but she could see Jun Zhi standing in front of her with his back turned to her through the fan.
In a daze, she seemed to see the person she had seen in Jun Zhi's illusion again, who was the real owner of the fan.She saw the man lying on the rocking chair in the tea room, smiling in her direction.She couldn't see what he looked like, because under his skin, there were dark words, densely packed, making people break out in cold sweat.
Those words climbed up the folding fan one by one from his hand holding the fan, like a little frog jumping into the water, leaving only a ripple after entering the water.
The fan was still that pure white and flawless fan.
So, there are Yin and Yang Dao texts in this fan?
Almost as soon as Bao Le thought of it, words like tadpoles flew out of the fan in front of her immediately.These words brought about an inexplicable wind, blowing up her bangs that were close at hand.Her eyeballs moved rapidly left and right following the appearance of Yin Yang Dao Wen.In just three seconds, she finished reading a hundred words. Miraculously, she firmly memorized the structure of these words and vaguely guessed what they meant.
Three seconds later, these yin and yang dao texts spread out from her eyes, like a poison that blocked the throat when it saw blood, causing the group of ghosts who were still crowded together to scatter like birds and beasts screaming.
The fan surface was no longer transparent, she slowly put down the fan, saw Jun Zhi froze for a moment, turned her head in disbelief, and stared deeply at her.
Maybe you don't believe it, but judging from the expressions on the two of them just now, it is not Jun Zhi but Bao Le who activated the Yin-Yang Daowen in the fan just now.In fact, Jun Zhi can indeed activate some things that contain Yin-Yang Taoism, such as the "Twelve Chapters of Yin-Yang".Because there are less than a hundred words of Yin-Yang Taoism in "The Twelve Chapters of Yin-Yang", and this fan... used to be a personal thing for one person.
If there is anyone in this world who can open the Yin-Yang Taoism in this fan, it must be the Patriarch of the Shen family, and it must be the Patriarch of the Shen family who is as powerful as that person before, or even more powerful.
Jun Zhi waited for hundreds of years. In the long river called years, he watched one child after another named Shen walking towards him and leaving him.Among them, there is still no one who can do it.
The 1930s was a war era, and this folding fan was finally destroyed in the war to protect a pure land.From then on, it was impossible for anyone to open the secret in the folding fan and make public the last words that that person left to the world.
"It turns out that Ah Yan knew about it early on."
Listening to Junzhi's murmur, Bao Le seemed to understand everything quickly and returned to normal.Just when she was about to ask him what Shen Wangyan knew, Jun Zhi took her hand and said briefly, "Let's go."
Taking advantage of the gathering of ghosts being scattered by Yin Yang Dao Wen, it's time to hurry up and join Shen San and the others.The matter of their entry into the ghost market must not be kept secret for long, and there is one last chance left before the arrival of the prison chief.
