Zheng Mo supported Chen Yan and walked for a long time before he got close to the village. The so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, Zheng Mo felt that he was lucky, and finally arrived at this village before dark.
"Captain Zheng, this place looks so dilapidated! It feels like it's isolated from the world. It's still an earthen house and a stone house. People often say that poor mountains and evil waters come out of troublesome people. I used to have a brother who went to the mountains to fight kidnapping and rescue people, but was killed by people from the whole village. Surrounded, those people don't care if you are a policeman or not, they almost beat you up, we'd better be careful." Chen Yan couldn't help but said, not afraid of ten thousand but just in case.
Zheng Mo supported Chen Yan to sit down and rested his feet for a while. He was also a little worried, and the police uniforms of him and Chen Yan were quite conspicuous. Wearing police uniforms in this situation may cause a lot of uncertainty.
And they have guns, so they can still protect themselves without their police uniforms.
Thinking of this, Zheng Mo asked Chen Yan to take off his coat, the trousers could still be blurred, and the coat could be seen at a glance.
The two hid their coats outside the village and walked towards the village supporting each other.
"Didi..." An off-road vehicle stopped behind Zheng Mo and honked its horn, "Let's go, let's go." The people in the car shouted.
Zheng Mo and Chen Yan subconsciously gave way when they heard the sound of the car, and an off-road vehicle swaggered past them.
"Off-road vehicle?! How did this come in?!" Zheng Mo said in amazement, they had been walking in the wild for a few days, and there was no sign of human activity anywhere, the entire interior of a deep mountain, and, here Where is the way?There is only a trail in front of the village!How did it come here? !
"Captain Zheng, there is a car! I feel that this village is fine. With so much money, it must not be the kind of village that would buy a wife."
"It's better to be careful, it feels wrong." Zheng Mo frowned, if someone in this village can afford an off-road vehicle, why would they live in an earthen house and a stone house, just like before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"Yes, Team Zheng."
"Don't call me Captain Zheng, call me Zheng Mo, something is wrong with this village, hide your identity."
"Okay, Brother Zheng." Chen Yan nodded, and asked again: "Then shall we go in?"
"How many days can you walk in the wild if you don't go in?" Zheng Mo asked back, none of them are very capable of surviving in the wild. After fighting for so many days, they can't eat well and sleep well, and they are almost at the limit of their bodies. Even if there is a drug trafficking village in front of them, they have to take a gamble.
According to experience, Zheng Mo instinctively felt that this village was a bit like a village on the border that had something to do with drugs. It looked like a dilapidated house, and the house might be full of drugs and money.
Of course, Zheng Mo sincerely hopes that it is not the case, in front of him is just an ordinary impoverished small mountain village, and some off-road vehicles are just like them, just passing by here by chance.
The closer you get to the village, the more people there are on the road, and all of them don't look quite right. They are completely different from the simple and simple mountain people in your imagination. A woman with exquisite make-up and a small white umbrella walked on the road.
"Brother Zheng..." Chen Yan also noticed that something was wrong with this village, it was better for them not to go in.
"I can't turn back. Do you think anyone here is walking in the opposite direction?" Zheng Mo said in a low voice. He wanted to turn back when he found something was wrong, but everyone here was walking in the direction of entering the village. Turning around, they got a strange glance from someone, and they couldn't look back.
Zheng Mo subconsciously squeezed the talisman paper given by Fang Xuejing. This is not a simple village, nor a village where people are bought and sold, nor a place where drugs are sold. In the bottom of my heart, I don't know what happened this year, I have encountered these weird things everywhere, if he can go back this time, he really has to burn incense and pray to Buddha to see if he can change his luck.
"Let's go!" Zheng Mo whispered, most of the people here don't seem to be as physically strong as the two young men, such as a woman wearing high heels, or a beggar man with a broken leg and a crutch. It looked like they didn't know each other, they could all go in, and their expressions were calm, Zheng Mo felt that it would not be a problem for the two big men to go in, not to mention, they still had guns.
Chen Yan grabbed Zheng Mo's arm and followed carefully. Zheng Mo's footsteps were very slow. He was observing other people. The woman in a white dress passed by, and the old beggar on crutches also passed by, and the time passed. Two or three cars, and even a small sedan chair carried by four people. Zheng Mo's scalp felt a little numb when he saw the bearers carrying the sedan chair, because the four people were wearing black clothes in ancient costumes, and there were black spots on their faces. Yay, it's like making a movie.
Zheng Mo and the two are in a mess, but they are still in modern attire. But on this road, they have seen the ancient costumes of the Republic of China to modern costumes, and they have seen all kinds of strange costumes. Zheng Mo can at least be sure that they are people passing by. There must be a living person in it. He just saw a young man dressed as a normal backpacker walking forward quickly with a sandwich in his mouth. At least there must be a living person!Since ordinary living people can go in, or the same sentence, the two big men with guns can also go in.
Zheng Mo carefully followed the man eating the sandwich from a distance. There were several oil lamps erected at the entrance of the village, and three or four roads were divided. At this moment, the passers-by spread out, and different people entered different roads, "Brother Zheng... "Chen Yan could see that there must be something to say about these roads, but they are newcomers and don't know what's going on here. How do they know which road to take?
"This way!" Zheng Mo noticed that the young man eating a sandwich had chosen a road, and most of the people on that road were dressed in modern clothes. It is for the living.
"Yes." Chen Yan agreed in a low voice.
"Follow him." Zheng Mo spotted the young man with the backpack eating the sandwich. Among the people here, he looked the most like a normal person.
The man with the backpack had finished eating the sandwich, and casually threw the wrapping paper on the ground. Zheng Mo and the two followed. Zheng Mo bent down and picked it up. He looked at the expiration date on it, and the date was the latest, so he said it must be a living person. Bar!
Zheng Mo threw away the wrapping paper and continued to follow. There was only one man with a backpack, and a dagger was pinned to his waist. Zheng Mo reckoned that even if they were discovered, the two of them could subdue this man.
The roads in the village are divided into many forks. It looks more like a market, and the houses on the street have no yards, just like the shops on the street. An oil lamp is lit at the door of each house. , although there is a branch road at the entrance of the village, but when entering the village, everyone is still mixed together and activities in this village.
The man with the backpack put on the mask distributed at the entrance of the village after eating, and Zheng Mo and the other two hurriedly put on the masks received at the entrance of the village. The masks distributed on several roads at the entrance of the village were different. Masks were distributed to passers-by at the table, and Zheng Mo and Chen Yan naturally got them too.
"This mask is different from other intersections!" Chen Yan muttered.
"Don't talk." Zheng Mo has known Mu Bosheng since he was a child, and he has a little research on those ghosts and ghosts, and he is not very afraid of them. After seeing the mask, he confirmed his thoughts even more. The roads must have been separated. The road they walked on when they came in belonged to living people, so what they received was the mask of a living person, and those who walked the other road must not be living people, and they don’t know if they are. What species, so they were assigned other masks.
The people here are completely indistinguishable from those things that are not human. They all look like human beings. At least Zheng Mo can’t tell the difference. He can’t tell the difference when he thinks about people with low cultivation bases or other things. , so here we use masks to distinguish them, on the one hand to confirm their respective ethnic groups, and on the other hand to hide their identities.As for why he hides his identity, Zheng Mo looks at it from a human point of view. This kind of weird place is not serious at first glance. People who come here to work must want to hide their identities, and don’t run into acquaintances. Masks, then, by analogy, other non-human ones may also think the same way.
Zheng Mo followed the young man with the backpack until they arrived at a street with a lot of living people. Looking around the street, the masks were all similar to those of Zheng Mo and Zheng Mo, and it was rare to see other types of masks.
The streets here are also a little more lively than other places. It's not just an oil lamp lit at the door, but someone is setting up a stall at the door. Of course, the oil lamp is still there.The young man with the backpack walked to a stall and looked it over, and said a few words to the stall owner, "How do you sell this?"
"Five." The stall owner stretched out five fingers, and Zheng Mo glanced at it. From the stall owner's hands, he could guess the age and identity of the other party. He was probably a middle-aged man who often used his strength, and there were thick calluses on his palms.
"It's too expensive! How about three?"
"No, no, no! Five items, if you don't have one, don't sell it."
"Then I'll take a look, if I don't say anything else." The man with the backpack curled his lips and turned to leave.
five?What is the currency here?Zheng Mo didn't say a word, and when he walked to the booth, he took a look at what the young man wanted to buy just now, a black order flag, Zheng Mo had chatted with Fang Xuejing and asked him some questions, he remembered Fang Xuejing said, The flag is a magic weapon for many sects to cast spells, so what is the black command flag?It feels like a decent family won't use it.
Zheng Mo didn't dare to look any further, and continued to follow the man with the backpack from a distance, listening to the movement around him. People were shopping and haggling everywhere. There were similar conversations everywhere, but the descriptions of money were different. , there are blocks, and some other things, even barter, when Zheng Mo heard that someone was trading in RMB, he couldn't help leaning over, "500 million."
"It's too expensive, one day, one day only!"
"Thousands of money can't buy an inch of time! Do you think it's so easy to fight the sky?"
"That……"
"Whether you want to buy it or not, I'm the only one who can buy it in this whole ghost market!" The stall owner was very straightforward.
"Okay, I'll buy it." The fat man in front of him stuffed a tissue into the mask and wiped his sweat, "I want one for a year."
There was a sound of gasping around, and there were people watching the excitement wherever there were people, especially this street belonged to the living. Zheng Mo heard someone sigh, "You are rich! Such a rich master, why don't you often go to the street?" News, we probably know each other too, right?"
"No, no!" The fat man waved his hands quickly, and his voice sounded unnatural, as if his throat was hurt, "There's nothing to see, everyone, please go to work!"
Zheng Mo also left far away. Just now, the man stuffed a lot of things in his clothes to make him look so fat. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been wiping his sweat. The main reason is that he was wearing too much, but the other party hid his identity like this. Zheng Mo really couldn't recognize the identity of the fat man for a while, but to be able to spend so much money in one go, as the man said just now, he must be a celebrity who often appears on TV.
Zheng Mo motioned to Chen Yan to continue following the man with the backpack, but now they didn't have to follow him, they just followed him from a distance.
"You two, you have followed me all the way. What do you need me for?" The man with the backpack suddenly turned around and came face to face with Zheng Mo. The man with the backpack just stopped him and asked with a smile.
"Where is it? The road is facing the sky and each side is going. You and I are going to go the same way on this road. Who is following who!" Zheng Mo looked very calm.
Chen Yan followed behind Zheng Mo without saying a word, with his head lowered.
The man with the backpack glanced at Chen Yan, and picked it up with his chin, "Is this what you brought?"
Zheng Mo wanted to refute that this was a companion, not a commodity, but he didn't understand the rules here, so he vaguely said, "It has nothing to do with you."
"What do you mean has nothing to do with me!" The man with the backpack leaned over and patted Zheng Mo on the shoulder, "Brother, you are all muddy, did you get lost in the mountains?"
Zheng Mo naturally wouldn't tell him how he got here, but just glanced at him coldly and said, "Take your hands away!"
"What if I don't take it?" The man with the backpack seemed to sense Zheng Mo's bluff, or realized that they didn't know what was going on here, and said with a smile.
Zheng Mo's hand has been in his pocket since just now. Seeing this, he took out the gun and opened the safety. Chen Yan automatically stood behind the two of them to block his sight. Zheng Mo's gun was aimed at the waist of the man with the backpack. Fang Xuejing once said However, it is no longer possible for Taoists in this world to practice Taoism like in ancient times. Therefore, Taoists these days are all mortal bodies and are afraid of guns. This is also the confidence that Zheng Mo dared to enter here.
The man with the backpack felt the muzzle of the gun on his waist, his face stiffened, his smile disappeared, and he looked at the gun in his waist dumbfounded, "You are... a toy gun, right?"
"Play with a toy against you?" Zheng Mo raised his eyebrows.
"I said brother, we are so strict here, how did you pass the customs!" the man with the backpack said in a low voice with a bitter face.
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Okay! I'm afraid, brother, hold your hands high, at least close the insurance, and be careful that the gun misfires, we two old men, it's really ugly to wipe the gun and misfire." The man with the backpack narrowed his eyes with a smile, "My name is Lead, brother, what's your name? We don't know each other if we don't fight, at least we know each other, make friends, don't fight and kill, this is not the case these days."
"Do you have a brother named Detonation?" Zheng Mo said.
"Ah? No!" The lead was stunned.
"It's fine if you don't have one." Zheng Mo played tricks on the other party, and also gave himself a step, and put away the gun casually. "Make friends, Zheng Mo."
"Brother, your family has suppressed demons for generations! It's amazing!" The lead arched his hands and said.
Zheng Mo felt that he had been played back.
Chen Yan didn't speak, as if he was just a background board.
"I'm a little hungry, do you have any snacks?" Zheng Mo asked casually. They stayed in the deep mountains for so long. Although they look fine now, they are actually exhausted. If they can rest their stomachs, their physical strength can also recover Some.
"Yes!" Lead took the backpack and pulled out the shredded bread for Zheng Mo. Zheng Mo stretched out his head and took a look, there were a bunch of miscellaneous snacks inside.
Zheng Mopo was a little emotional, "You brought these when you came to this kind of place? It's a field trip!"
"You don't understand, is this your first time here? You didn't bring any food with you. Let me tell you, the food in the ghost market is not only expensive, but also unpalatable, and if you are not careful in the old forest outside, you will die." Going for ten days and eight days, those ghosts and spirits are not afraid, anyway, the deep mountains and old forests are their home, but we can't do it! We worked hard to come here, and if we don't have enough food, we have to eat wild fruits. You look like I came here by eating wild fruits all the way, tsk tsk."
Perfectly misleading his origin, Zheng Mo acquiesced that this is how he came here, nodded slightly, and said casually: "Oh, I have no experience! I am really tired. I have suffered a lot on this journey, but unfortunately I can't follow Contact the outside world, otherwise I really want to talk to my brother."
"Why can't you communicate with the outside world?" The lead asked.
"I lost my phone." Zheng Mo said as a matter of course. He said that he had thought about it before. If there is no signal here and no one can contact people outside, then there is nothing wrong with him saying that, but if it is here People can communicate with the outside world, so he said that he lost his mobile phone, but Zheng Mo didn't expect that Taoists don't only use mobile phones to communicate these days.
"Then, what about the contact talisman?"
"I fell into the water." Zheng Mo's expression was deep.
"Is there water around here?"
"The puddle." There are a lot of reasons to grab at random, Zheng Mo said that he has undergone professional training.
"What a tragedy!" The lead was very sympathetic.
Zheng Mo nodded earnestly, "I also think I'm miserable, but luckily I haven't lost anything important."
"Yeah." Lead glanced at the gun in Zheng Mo's pocket and nodded.
"You didn't lose anything, did you? Contact the outside for me." Zheng Mo said casually: "I will ask my senior brother to thank you later, my senior brother is very good! People." Zheng Mo patted the gun on his waist.
"Success!" Lead took out the mobile phone, "I'm not good at it, and the talisman paper often disappears after running halfway, so I can only use the mobile phone."
"Me too!" Zheng Mo was relieved to see his confidant. "But is there a signal here?" He couldn't get through the phone before.
"There is a signal tower in the ghost city center, but it is too small and only spreads to a small circle around it. The main reason is that this place is relatively chaotic, and no matter how strong the power signal is here, it has to be discounted, otherwise it will not be a tourist development soon. Is it the scenic spot?" The lead said.
Zheng Mo's mood was very complicated for a while, someone set up a signal tower in this kind of place, who set it up? !But Zheng Mo didn't show it on the surface, and nodded in agreement, "That's right, the magnetic field here is indeed quite chaotic." He couldn't dial out his mobile phone, so he left it outside the village with his coat.
Zheng Mo chatted with the lead and went to the ghost city center together. During the period, they passed a very quiet street. Most of the masks worn by the people on the street did not have the same pattern as them. Zheng Mo knew that these were not human beings. He didn't dare to say anything, and the lead wire didn't say a word, he just walked on in silence. When he reached the ghost city center, Zheng Mo used the lead wire's cell phone to call Fang Xuejing. The moment the call got through, Zheng Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hello?" Fang Xuejing answered the phone casually.
"It's me, Zheng Mo! I'm in the ghost market, brother! Let me tell you, I'm suffering. I ate wild fruits outside the forest for several days. They look like apples but are bitter and astringent. , There are still wolves howling at night, which scares me to death, but fortunately, I am in a ghost market. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself, but if you want to come to me, come to me! I'm really going to die I can't stop, brother, help me!" Zheng Mo said a series of words, afraid that Fang Xuejing would suddenly say something that should not be said, revealing his identity, and he had already provided all the clues he could provide to the other party.
So, brave boy!Hurry up and save me!
There was no answer from the other side for a long time, and Zheng Mo began to feel a little uneasy. Could it be that the signal is not good, and he didn't hear clearly?
"I see, I'll go to the ghost market to find you." Fang Xuejing's voice was very steady.
When Zheng Mo heard that Fang Xuejing was coming, he almost wanted to cry out, he was finally saved.
"You...can you find the place? You will get lost..." Zheng Mo hinted silently.
"I know the way." Fang Xuejing said.
That's good, that's good, Zheng Mo heaved a sigh of relief.
"You have to be careful, remember to find a room with red oil lamps to sleep during the day, don't run around, be polite to the boss when you stay in the hotel, remember to pay for the accommodation first, don't waste money, and I will pay you together when I go over."
"Okay, okay! I understand, what else do you want to ask." Zheng Mo quickly wrote down.
"The rule of the ghost market is that well water does not violate river water, don't provoke others, and don't trust anyone." Fang Xuejing instructed.
Zheng Mo subconsciously felt cold all over his body, did he provoke a lead?Could this man also be trusted?Zheng Mo raised his head to look at Lead, Lead showed him a big smiling face, two rows of small white teeth were clearly visible under the mask, and his eyes were crooked.
"Okay." Zheng Mo said, subconsciously stuffing his hand into his pocket, holding the pistol.
"Captain Zheng, this place looks so dilapidated! It feels like it's isolated from the world. It's still an earthen house and a stone house. People often say that poor mountains and evil waters come out of troublesome people. I used to have a brother who went to the mountains to fight kidnapping and rescue people, but was killed by people from the whole village. Surrounded, those people don't care if you are a policeman or not, they almost beat you up, we'd better be careful." Chen Yan couldn't help but said, not afraid of ten thousand but just in case.
Zheng Mo supported Chen Yan to sit down and rested his feet for a while. He was also a little worried, and the police uniforms of him and Chen Yan were quite conspicuous. Wearing police uniforms in this situation may cause a lot of uncertainty.
And they have guns, so they can still protect themselves without their police uniforms.

"It's better to be careful, it feels wrong." Zheng Mo frowned, if someone in this village can afford an off-road vehicle, why would they live in an earthen house and a stone house, just like before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"Yes, Team Zheng."
"Don't call me Captain Zheng, call me Zheng Mo, something is wrong with this village, hide your identity."
"Okay, Brother Zheng." Chen Yan nodded, and asked again: "Then shall we go in?"
"How many days can you walk in the wild if you don't go in?" Zheng Mo asked back, none of them are very capable of surviving in the wild.

Zheng Mo heard someone sigh, "You are rich! Such a rich master, why don't you often go to the street?" News, we probably know each other too, right?"
"No, no!" The fat man waved his hands quickly, and his voice sounded unnatural, as if his throat was hurt, "There's nothing to see, everyone, please go to work!"
Zheng Mo also left far away. Just now, the man stuffed a lot of things in his clothes to make him look so fat. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been wiping his sweat. The main reason is that he was wearing too much, but the other party hid his identity like this. Zheng Mo really couldn't recognize the identity of the fat man for a while, but to be able to spend so much money in one go, as the man said just now, he must be a celebrity who often appears on TV.
Zheng Mo motioned to Chen Yan to continue following the man with the backpack, but now they didn't have to follow him, they just followed him from a distance.
"You two, you have followed me all the way. What do you need me for?" The man with the backpack suddenly turned around and came face to face with Zheng Mo. The man with the backpack just stopped him and asked with a smile.
"Where is it? The road is facing the sky and each side is going. You and I are going to go the same way on this road. Who is following who!" Zheng Mo looked very calm.
Chen Yan followed behind Zheng Mo without saying a word, with his head lowered.
The man with the backpack glanced at Chen Yan, and picked it up with his chin, "Is this what you brought?"
Zheng Mo wanted to refute that this was a companion, not a commodity, but he didn't understand the rules here, so he vaguely said, "It has nothing to do with you."
"What do you mean has nothing to do with me!" The man with the backpack leaned over and patted Zheng Mo on the shoulder, "Brother, you are all muddy, did you get lost in the mountains?"
Zheng Mo naturally wouldn't tell him how he got here, but just glanced at him coldly and said, "Take your hands away!"
"What if I don't take it?" The man with the backpack seemed to sense Zheng Mo's bluff, or realized that they didn't know what was going on here, and said with a smile.
Zheng Mo's hand has been in his pocket since just now. Seeing this, he took out the gun and opened the safety. Chen Yan automatically stood behind the two of them to block his sight. Zheng Mo's gun was aimed at the waist of the man with the backpack. Fang Xuejing once said However, it is no longer possible for Taoists in this world to practice Taoism like in ancient times. Therefore, Taoists these days are all mortal bodies and are afraid of guns. This is also the confidence that Zheng Mo dared to enter here.
The man with the backpack felt the muzzle of the gun on his waist, his face stiffened, his smile disappeared, and he looked at the gun in his waist dumbfounded, "You are... a toy gun, right?"
"Play with a toy against you?" Zheng Mo raised his eyebrows.
"I said brother, we are so strict here, how did you pass the customs!" the man with the backpack said in a low voice with a bitter face.
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Okay! I'm afraid, brother, hold your hands high, at least close the insurance, and be careful that the gun misfires, we two old men, it's really ugly to wipe the gun and misfire." The man with the backpack narrowed his eyes with a smile, "My name is Lead, brother, what's your name? We don't know each other if we don't fight, at least we know each other, make friends, don't fight and kill, this is not the case these days."
"Do you have a brother named Detonation?" Zheng Mo said.
"Ah? No!" The lead was stunned.
"It's fine if you don't have one." Zheng Mo played tricks on the other party, and also gave himself a step, and put away the gun casually. "Make friends, Zheng Mo."
"Brother, your family has suppressed demons for generations! It's amazing!" The lead arched his hands and said.
Zheng Mo felt that he had been played back.
Chen Yan didn't speak, as if he was just a background board.
"I'm a little hungry, do you have any snacks?" Zheng Mo asked casually. They stayed in the deep mountains for so long. Although they look fine now, they are actually exhausted. If they can rest their stomachs, their physical strength can also recover Some.
"Yes!" Lead took the backpack and pulled out the shredded bread for Zheng Mo. Zheng Mo stretched out his head and took a look, there were a bunch of miscellaneous snacks inside.
Zheng Mopo was a little emotional, "You brought these when you came to this kind of place? It's a field trip!"
"You don't understand, is this your first time here? You didn't bring any food with you. Let me tell you, the food in the ghost market is not only expensive, but also unpalatable, and if you are not careful in the old forest outside, you will die." Going for ten days and eight days, those ghosts and spirits are not afraid, anyway, the deep mountains and old forests are their home, but we can't do it! We worked hard to come here, and if we don't have enough food, we have to eat wild fruits. You look like I came here by eating wild fruits all the way, tsk tsk."
Perfectly misleading his origin, Zheng Mo acquiesced that this is how he came here, nodded slightly, and said casually: "Oh, I have no experience! I am really tired. I have suffered a lot on this journey, but unfortunately I can't follow Contact the outside world, otherwise I really want to talk to my brother."
"Why can't you communicate with the outside world?" The lead asked.
"I lost my phone." Zheng Mo said as a matter of course. He said that he had thought about it before. If there is no signal here and no one can contact people outside, then there is nothing wrong with him saying that, but if it is here People can communicate with the outside world, so he said that he lost his mobile phone, but Zheng Mo didn't expect that Taoists don't only use mobile phones to communicate these days.
"Then, what about the contact talisman?"
"I fell into the water." Zheng Mo's expression was deep.
"Is there water around here?"
"The puddle." There are a lot of reasons to grab at random, Zheng Mo said that he has undergone professional training.
"What a tragedy!" The lead was very sympathetic.
Zheng Mo nodded earnestly, "I also think I'm miserable, but luckily I haven't lost anything important."
"Yeah." Lead glanced at the gun in Zheng Mo's pocket and nodded.
"You didn't lose anything, did you? Contact the outside for me." Zheng Mo said casually: "I will ask my senior brother to thank you later, my senior brother is very good! People." Zheng Mo patted the gun on his waist.
"Success!" Lead took out the mobile phone, "I'm not good at it, and the talisman paper often disappears after running halfway, so I can only use the mobile phone."
"Me too!" Zheng Mo was relieved to see his confidant. "But is there a signal here?" He couldn't get through the phone before.
"There is a signal tower in the ghost city center, but it is too small and only spreads to a small circle around it. The main reason is that this place is relatively chaotic, and no matter how strong the power signal is here, it has to be discounted, otherwise it will not be a tourist development soon. Is it the scenic spot?" The lead said.
Zheng Mo's mood was very complicated for a while, someone set up a signal tower in this kind of place, who set it up? !But Zheng Mo didn't show it on the surface, and nodded in agreement, "That's right, the magnetic field here is indeed quite chaotic." He couldn't dial out his mobile phone, so he left it outside the village with his coat.
Zheng Mo chatted with the lead and went to the ghost city center together. During the period, they passed a very quiet street. Most of the masks worn by the people on the street did not have the same pattern as them. Zheng Mo knew that these were not human beings. He didn't dare to say anything, and the lead wire didn't say a word, he just walked on in silence. When he reached the ghost city center, Zheng Mo used the lead wire's cell phone to call Fang Xuejing. The moment the call got through, Zheng Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hello?" Fang Xuejing answered the phone casually.
"It's me, Zheng Mo! I'm in the ghost market, brother! Let me tell you, I'm suffering. I ate wild fruits outside the forest for several days. They look like apples but are bitter and astringent. , There are still wolves howling at night, which scares me to death, but fortunately, I am in a ghost market. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself, but if you want to come to me, come to me! I'm really going to die I can't stop, brother, help me!" Zheng Mo said a series of words, afraid that Fang Xuejing would suddenly say something that should not be said, revealing his identity, and he had already provided all the clues he could provide to the other party.
So, brave boy!Hurry up and save me!
There was no answer from the other side for a long time, and Zheng Mo began to feel a little uneasy. Could it be that the signal is not good, and he didn't hear clearly?
"I see, I'll go to the ghost market to find you." Fang Xuejing's voice was very steady.
When Zheng Mo heard that Fang Xuejing was coming, he almost wanted to cry out, he was finally saved.
"You...can you find the place? You will get lost..." Zheng Mo hinted silently.
"I know the way." Fang Xuejing said.
That's good, that's good, Zheng Mo heaved a sigh of relief.
"You have to be careful, remember to find a room with red oil lamps to sleep during the day, don't run around, be polite to the boss when you stay in the hotel, remember to pay for the accommodation first, don't waste money, and I will pay you together when I go over."
"Okay, okay! I understand, what else do you want to ask." Zheng Mo quickly wrote down.
"The rule of the ghost market is that well water does not violate river water, don't provoke others, and don't trust anyone." Fang Xuejing instructed.
Zheng Mo subconsciously felt cold all over his body, did he provoke a lead?Could this man also be trusted?Zheng Mo raised his head to look at Lead, Lead showed him a big smiling face, two rows of small white teeth were clearly visible under the mask, and his eyes were crooked.
"Okay." Zheng Mo said, subconsciously stuffing his hand into his pocket, holding the pistol.
