ghost ferry

The streets with antique eaves are neatly arranged, and the streets paved with bluestone slabs are green and quiet, full of antique charm.Red lanterns are hung in front of the pavilions and houses, and the long street is lined with lanterns, like a fire dragon rolling.

The night gently enveloped the entire city of Guining, the fire and lights reflected the tiny stars in the sky, the contrast between lively and peaceful, mixed into a wonderful illusion.

The Night Tour Festival is held once every three years, and it is usually the most lively at night. At this time, all the goods on the market are free of charge. A salesman came to hold a night tour festival.

There are two sources of the power of the Hades, one is the direct belief of the ghosts, and the other is the spirit stones produced by the ghosts' active labor.

The more lively the Night Tour Festival is held, the more satisfied the ghosts are, and the faith received by Hades will multiply.

The ghost city where Ye Zhou is located is called Guining City, which means that entering a ghost city is like entering one's mother's house to appease her, which is both appropriate and ironic.Guining City is the most famous among all the ghost towns, for no other reason than Guining City is the only ghost town where a ghost is the city lord.

Legend has it that the city lord of Guining came and went without any worries, and his mind was so transparent that his soul was so clean that it was not easy to dissipate.

These are the gossips that the ghosts in the teahouse are fond of talking about.

Just after listening to a section of the storybook, the old gentleman slapped the gavel, and Ye Zhou pulled Ye Ming out of the teahouse.

Ye Zhou dressed very simply and beautifully today. He was wearing a camel-colored felt hat with hair buttons made of blue spirit stones, which was extra playful.A head of black hair was tied up in a hat, and the shattered hair blown up by the leeward wind brushed against his fair face. Under the shadow of the lights, there was a different kind of handsomeness, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

The young man was wrapped in a thick jacket with fleece on the collar and sleeves, the waist was tightly bound, and the outer pants were filled with cotton wool so that it was straight and soft, completely outlining Ye Zhou's smooth waistline.The red base of the clothes, black embroidered pattern, is so bright and festive, and the black pattern is flattened to create a bit of elegance, and it is full of spirits.

Ye Ming was led by him to walk out quickly, Ye Ming quickened his pace in order to keep up with Ye Zhou, but his expression was still leisurely.All he looked at was Ye Zhou's expression, with a gentle smile on his mouth.

Perhaps it was Ye Zhou's first time to spend the night with Ye Ming, and he was a little more excited than usual.He dragged Ye Ming through the crowd, and the dazzling array of goods seemed to be cheering loudly.

Crowds of ghosts clamored to loot the shop, and everyone took a piece of synesthesia jade.More mischievous ghosts showed their prototypes, showing all kinds of dead appearances, causing people to disperse.

The tall banyan tree hangs down a thin and dense beard net, moving in the wind.All kinds of hibiscus flowers are newly planted on both sides of the street, clusters of which are gorgeous and quiet, adding a bit of tranquility and elegance to the night market.

Hibiscus flowers originally bloomed in summer and autumn, but the Ming people carved many spirit gathering formations on the side, using spirit stones to supplement the flowers.The single hibiscus has a very short flowering period, blooming in the morning and fading in the evening, also known as "twilight flower", which means short-lived brilliance.

The Lord of the Underworld deliberately made people give birth to these flower seeds, and he also wanted to warn the ghosts not to indulge in the past, and to enter reincarnation early.

There is an actor in a red dress on the stage, with rouge and powder, the corners of his eyes seem charming and timid, and the soft tone is tremblingly seductive: "There is a girl in the same car, Yan Rushunhua. Will soar and fly, Peiyu Qiongju. He is beautiful Meng Jiang, Xunmei Qidu. There is a female companion, Yan Rushunying. General Ao will fly, Peiyu will general. He is beautiful Meng Jiang, and his virtue will never be forgotten."

The ghosts on the long street rubbed against each other, like a tide, Ye Zhou held Ye Ming's hand tightly, and walked forward, surrounded by laughter and laughter, and the long ghost market was endless, just like him at this moment. Uncertain mood, nowhere to go.

At this time, Ye Ming pulled him violently to the front, causing him to stagger away from the group of ghosts who almost collided with him, wrapped his arms around his neck, and teased: "What are you thinking? I almost collided with you, Ah Zhou seems to be very nervous recently. It's easy to get distracted."

Ye Ming seemed to be particularly excited today, his eyes were clearly full of smiles.Ye Zhou stuffed a stick of glutinous rice cake into his hand, and smiled a little canine, "I'm so happy. You try this, I also ate it at the Night Tour Festival last time, it was delicious."

Ye Ming picked it up and tasted it, the workmanship was rough, but the sticky rice was sweet and soft, sprinkled with sweet-scented osmanthus and red beans and boiled together, it had a special flavor.

Ye Zhou stood with him under a low eaves, and after hearing Ye Ming's compliments, he suddenly stopped smiling.

Ye Ming looked towards a certain direction obliquely behind, and apologized to Ye Zhou: "Ah Zhou, brother is leaving for a while, you can go for a walk by yourself first, and brother will come to you later, okay?"

Knowing his special status, Ye Zhou must have something to do, so he didn't stay any longer, but said, "Okay. But when I'm far away, how can my brother come to me?"

Ye Ming smiled and nodded his hair button.

It turned out that there was a small tracking technique on the button, so it was not difficult to find people.Ye Ming bid farewell to Ye Zhou, he jumped up and down, his red robe curled up beautifully, and landed on an arched bridge in the air in an instant.

The arch bridge is built between two tall buildings, just overlooking the entire night market.Ye Ming stood still on the arch bridge, but his eyes followed Ye Zhou's moving figure.

Two figures, one black and one white, appeared beside him, and they bowed to salute, "His Highness, three."

Ye Ming reluctantly looked away, put on a gentle and polite smile, nodded and said: "Black envoy, white envoy."

The visitor is black and white impermanence.

Bai Wuchang has a gentle personality, while Hei Wuchang has a dull temperament, so Bai Wuchang said: "The Lord of the Underworld asked me to say hello to you."

Ye Ming smiled slightly, and just put his hands together, two more jade-like ashlar stones appeared in his hands. They were evil-proof stones, rumored to be dug out of the cave where the dragon god once lived.

He raised his hand and threw the two ashlars into Black and White Wuchang's hands, and said: "Two ghost emissaries, please come here, just to show some kindness, nothing to worry about."

The temperament of the gentle and courteous Third Highness in front of him, the two of them also knew that this evil spirit stone would help them subdue ghosts, so they immediately bowed to express their gratitude and accepted the square stone.

The three of them were fairly familiar, so they chatted a little more. Hei Wuchang was leaning on the arch bridge to look at the scenery, his face was dull, and his eyebrows were still a little gloomy.

Bai Wuchang had a happy chat with Ye Ming, and asked: "It's been more than ten years, isn't Your Highness considering being transferred back to Mingdu? It's long enough to stay in this ghost town and be a simple ghost crosser. I think Ming The Lord has long intended this, but His Highness is not very happy."

Ye Ming looked at Shouhe: "At the beginning, I was arrogant and arrogant, thinking that evil things would avoid me. When I faced the evil Chong, I was arrogant and conceited. I was injured and my cultivation level did not matter. I almost made a fuss. Disasters in the Three Realms caused me to be relegated here by my father."

Bai Wuchang revealed it in one sentence: "It's just an omission."

Knowing that he was giving himself a step down, Ye Ming shook his head.In the ghost city below, a group of ghosts carnival, but no one knew what happened after the banquet.

Ye Ming said: "I am conceited that no one can beat me, but I have no choice but to watch it devour ghosts, and my heart is full of anger."

"The underworld dragon has existed for so many years, and it has its own dominance." Bai Wuchang comforted, and then said: "Isn't the child next to Your Highness quite special in physique? A mistake in the underworld led to the premature end of Yangshou. The Lord of the Underworld turned his soul into a Ming clan in order to compensate, but he did not want them to be buried in the Ming Jiao again. The Ming clan has merits and virtues. The physique of Ye Zhou's child may be more useful to the Ming Jiao .”

Ye Ming shook his head, with a cold light in his eyes: "It was just emotion before. Ah Zhou's physique is a breakthrough, but the existence of the underworld dragon is also a deterrent. If they let their wishes come true day by day, how can the underworld Don't be upset by the ghosts, this matter will be discussed later."

He seemed to be thinking of someone again, his eyes became gentle, and he said slowly:

"I came here to heal my wounds. At the beginning, I plummeted. I felt that the ghost crossing was a shame to my ability, but I met an interesting child. I am not very old, but I think about how to please me and make me happy. .

"Later, when I saw Mingjiao making trouble, I thought I wanted to get rid of the evil, but I almost lost the lives of me and Ah Zhou. Only then did I realize that no one can be alone in the world.

"In the past ten years or so, I have really worn down my impetuous temper according to my father's wishes, and I have also learned the equality and "life and death, there should be awe" that he wanted me to know. I can't act my own way, and I can't be indecisive.

"Father is very satisfied with me, and I am also very satisfied with myself. It's just that I don't want to go back to work again. First, it's because of Ah Zhou. Second, I think I am suitable here. Besides, I can still help my father here, Not to mention being able to be with the one you love every day.”
