There are roughly two explanations for the so-called "ghost market". One is the eight markets under the four cities of old Beijing. .

There are a lot of ghosts in the ghost city, and demons also like to come and go. If people are powerful, they can come too.

What Liu Xiang is talking about here is the second type of ghost market.The breath she blew at Li Weiwei just now was to cover up her popularity with her demonic aura. Although there are rules in the ghost market, it is inevitable that some ghosts will not have any crooked ideas.

"It's up to you to listen to me now." Liu Xiang smiled, "The ghost market has its own rules, which cannot be violated. This is the first time since the mystery reappeared, and it was very lively!"

"Before the underworld was reopened, people had to enter after death. This time the ghost market was created by them."

"Don't be afraid." Liu Xiang dragged her into the ghost city.A magical world unfolded in front of Li Weiwei.

The long street is paved with blue bricks, and there are shops and vendors on both sides. The sky at night is starless and moonless, and the light is dim. Only white lanterns are hung every other section.

The streets are crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder.Pedestrians wear a mix of ancient and modern clothing, including robes and mandarin jackets, as well as T-shirts, denim, suits and trousers.

The mist on the street is light, lingering on the whole street, the nearby places are better, but the street scene in the distance becomes indistinct.

"Hey, those two, pay the market fee." A gray-faced man in gray clothes stopped them.

Liu Xiang stuffed something into his hand, and the man immediately put on a smile, and shouted, "Both of you—please come inside."

Li Weiwei quickly followed Liu Xiang and walked in.

She felt that the gray-clothed person was really not a good stubble, and looked at her with gloomy eyes, sweeping past her like a gust of evil wind.

The goods sold in the ghost market are interesting. There are girls with flower baskets, candied haws, clay figurines, and modern skewers and handicrafts.It's like a nondescript retro commercial street in the Internet celebrity scenic spot.

Li Weiwei pulled Liu Xiang's sleeve, "Why do I feel that person looks at me strangely?"

"Normal." Liu Xiang said, "He should see that you are an ordinary person, old ghosts like Guishikou have poisonous eyes."

Li Weiwei was taken aback, "Then I..."

"Don't worry, the ghost market has rules, as long as you don't violate them, he won't dare to do anything to you."

They were walking on the street, and Li Weiwei looked around curiously.

"Sugar man, blowing sugar man." An old man pushed the cart over, with a white sweat towel hanging on his shoulder.

"Flowers, fresh flowers." The little girl with a clear and crisp voice was carrying a basket and was wearing an old plain cheongsam.

What's more, there is a horn, and the stall owner is sweating profusely in the back, while the front shouts, "Hey, take a look, take a look, skewers——, gluten—"

All kinds of passers-by walked past them, Li Weiwei felt ridiculous, but it was all fresh.

Liu Xiang is like a fish in water here, and he is very happy to pull her. "I haven't been here for a long time. The ghost market has been closed since it was hidden, and I can finally come to play."

Li Weiwei looked around curiously, and suddenly noticed a small shop among the demon dancers, with a mahogany door, a wooden plaque, and the inscription "South Sea".

No wonder she noticed that this store is really conspicuous.The chaotic ghost market is quiet as far as it is in front of the gate, and within five meters of the gate, there is no sound and no feathers.Even pedestrians shut up and hurried past the door.

Li Weiwei became curious, and pointed at the shop, "What's that for?"

"Shh, be careful." Liu Xiang pulled her aside, "That person is the master of this ghost city, and he has a big background... A little monster like me can't afford it."

"Tell me specifically?" Li Weiwei asked curiously, "And I always feel that you are out of your mind after you come in."

Liu Xiang shook his head, "Maybe it's because I haven't been here for a long time...I haven't been here since the war."

The real reason is, of course, that Lu Yi has to control so many cards, and he can't keep up with it all at once, and Liu Xiangka will occasionally be sluggish.

But this scene fell into Li Weiwei's eyes, and Liu Xiang avoided her gaze everywhere, which was more like avoiding her question, unwilling to answer.

Maybe she came across something she was sad about, Li Weiwei was considerate and didn't continue this topic.The word war sounds like it is associated with tragedy. What has Liu Xiang experienced in a life that may be much longer than hers?

Liu Xiang said quietly: "Actually, there is nothing to talk about. Extraordinary things are hidden, and mysteries cannot be revealed."

She lowered her head and smiled, and Lu Yi casually set up a template that the foreign gods had also invaded before, which is not a lie: "We once encountered a catastrophe from the outside, and we won, but we also paid a heavy price. The price. The mystery has never recovered, so this agreement is hidden from the sight of ordinary people.”

Then why are you showing up again now?Li Weiwei thought in her heart, the mysterious reappearance could not be a child's play, is the danger returning?Liu Xiang looks a little sad, will she pay a big price in this danger?

Looking at Liu Xiang's beautiful face, she felt a little sad for him for a while.They haven't known each other for a few days, but Liu Xiang is already her friend.If Liu Xiang wants not to get involved, she will give her a place to stay here.

Li Weiwei's heart was full of twists and turns, but there was still no abnormality on her face, so she pulled Liu Xiang and said with a smile, "Then take me around again."

"Okay."

Liu Xiang was distracted, and continued to walk forward with great interest. Sure enough, no matter what it is, no matter how old it is, shopping is a woman's nature.She walked up to a stall and yelled, "Boss, get some sturdy ones!"

Someone inside responded.

Li Weiwei was puzzled, because there was a sign in front of this store, which stated that it provided blood food.The rest is empty, there is nothing else, and no one is watching until now.I really don't know what this store is for.

She soon found out.

The boss was a man with a big shoulder and a round waist. He came out carrying a shoulder pole, and picked a fat pig with its limbs tied up on it.

The boss smiled, "Snake monster. My stuff is good, look! How fat." He patted the grunting pig, the fat quivered and fainted like water.

Liu Xiang licked his lips and took a step forward.

The beautiful face disappeared and was replaced by a giant snake's head.Fangs were exposed, longer than fingers, and a scarlet, forked tongue hissed out.

The boss untied the poor fat pig, and the fat pig grunted and wanted to run away.

Then it got entangled by a huge tail.At that moment, Li Weiwei heard the sound of bones breaking, like an egg shell being cracked easily.

After the prey died, Liu Xiang opened his mouth wide and began to devour it.

Li Weiwei was so frightened by this bloody scene that she felt chills all over her body.

"I'm scared." A voice came from behind.

She looked back and saw the boy she had just met in the restaurant.

Li Weiwei forced a smile at him, but didn't answer.

"Didn't you already know that she is a snake demon? I'm afraid it's a bit late now." Lu Yi said, "She will only be more ferocious than this when she hunts her prey."

Li Weiwei didn't say anything.

"I give you a piece of advice." Lu Yi didn't care about her attitude, and continued, "Monsters are difficult to tame, so they can't be trusted. Greed and bloodthirsty, and the pursuit of powerful power is their instinct. Stay away from monsters."

Li Weiwei has been watching the scene of Liu Xiang devouring.

After a long while, I took a deep breath, "Liu Xiang never hurt me, she regarded me as a friend. She eats living things like this, which is the natural habit of snakes, and that is innocent. I may not be able to deny the instinct of monsters. , but I can't deny her because of something she didn't do."

Li Weiwei looked directly at Lu Yi's smiling eyes, "That's not fair to her."

Lu Yi continued to laugh: "She can't hear our conversation now."

"This is my truth, don't speculate on me like that." Li Weiwei frowned, "I have learned a word over the years, called tolerance."

"Okay." Lu Yi shrugged, "I am the villain. Good luck."

At this moment, Liu Xiang had already eaten and drank enough, wiped his mouth, and rushed over: "Fresh blood is still delicious. Weiwei, let's go shopping elsewhere! Hey, aren't you the one from the restaurant? You are here too!" "

Lu Yi said: "The first grand event, we must come and see it."

"Then let's go together." Liu Xiang showed his canine teeth and dimples, "It's fun with so many people."

Lu Yi naturally agreed.

Li Weiwei didn't have a good impression of this guy who came up to provoke, but she also knew that the other party was out of good intentions, so she didn't object.

They continued to stroll forward, and Li Weiwei looked curiously at the street vendors.

The boss greeted her enthusiastically, "Customer, what are you looking for? Have you seen this bracelet, it's suitable for girls!"

The bracelet was made of beads, and the beads shone brightly in the dim light of the lantern, dotted with stars, very beautiful.

Li Weiwei was a little moved, and worried that people would not accept RMB. Just as she was about to ask Liu Xiang, she saw Liu Xiang reach out and pat her on the forehead.

There was a flash in Li Weiwei's mind, and she found out after looking closely.No matter what kind of beads are worn on the bracelet, they are simply red eyes.

She almost screamed in fright, and threw back the bracelet.

The boss yelled unhappily, "Hey, what's the matter with you. Don't just throw other people's things? You have to buy this chain today."

Li Weiwei saw that the boss still had the warm and kind appearance before, his eyes were protruding, his face was pale, and black water was still seeping in his seven orifices.

She backed away in fright.

The boss seemed to see her weakness, pressed her step by step, and asked faintly: "Do you want to be in debt? "

This is, a cold hand supported Li Weiwei, it was Liu Xiang.

"Boss, you are still buying and selling by force." She said, showing her vertical pupils at the same time.

"She threw my things first!" The boss defended, and the black water in the seven orifices flowed even more.

"Is there anyone who sells things to customers with a blind eye?" Liu Xiangchong grinned at the boss, and there were Senhan's fangs inside, "How about we go to discipline the theory?"

Lu Yi also flipped his hand and took out Zhang Fu.

The boss looked at this scene, weighed it for a while, retreated into the shadow of the stall, and remained silent.

"Let's go" Liu Xiang and Lu Yi took Li Weiwei away.

"You were too close to him just now, and some of them saw your identity. They wanted to bully the living." Liu Xiang said. "If the living people don't understand the rules in the ghost market, it will be very miserable. Those dead ghosts are waiting to eat."

"That's right." Lu Yi answered, "There have been cases of living people straying into ghost markets before, and they were basically eaten by ghosts. If you are lucky, even if you buy something and return to the human world, you will end up miserable."

"So you have to be careful when buying things." Liu Xiang comforted Li Weiwei, her eyes beaming as she spoke, "Weiwei, if you like something, tell me that you can exchange anything here, but money in the world is not recognized. Just treat it as you Treat me to a meal in return!"

Li Weiwei looked at her deep dimples and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I'll eat the big family today."

Not far away, a shadow puppet artist stopped and began to set up a stall to perform.A circle of people gathered around to watch the show.

"It's human skin." Lu Yi looked at it for a while and made a judgment.

The shadow puppets had a climax, and the surrounding cheered.Two young people also cheered. One of them took the soy milk from the little boy selling soy milk and asked for RMB.The little boy raised his head and said quietly, "We don't charge money from living people."

After these words fell, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and the ghosts watching the shadow puppets stopped and looked at them in unison.

The little boy smiled, "You are living people, living people without money."

"It's going to happen." The trio who were watching from a distance also noticed this, and Li Weiwei's expression changed, "There are still two people there!"

In an instant, a group of ghosts approached.
