There are ghosts

late at night.

Two figures sneaked out of the hotel gate. There were lights and shadows on the deserted street, and the shadows of trees swayed with the wind. Although Su Bai was wrapped in a thick coat, he still shivered when the wind blown him. He gasped and rubbed his arms tightly. twist.

"Ling Jianhua, that bastard is so cold..."

Su Bai and Jiu Yuan walked side by side on the quiet street, with endless resentment in their hearts, and intermittently complained to Jiu Yuan: "Why do you think he holds grudges like this... In the middle of the night, let someone come out to find things. Is this a person doing something? And what kind of mess is written here..."

While talking, Su Bai took out a white note tremblingly. When Ling Jianhua came to give him the note in the middle of the night, he couldn't understand the gentle and kind tone of begging him. What about the bad side?

Jiu Yuan was calm, looked down at the trembling Su Bai, took off his black coat and put it on Su Bai's shoulders, Su Bai, who was surrounded by a burst of warmth, looked up at Jiu Yuan.

"Aren't you cold?"

Jiu Yuan shook his head: "It doesn't matter to me, I... I can't be considered a human being." Under the dim streetlights, the figures of the two people were lengthened, Su Bai grasped the coat on his body, his knuckles were slightly white, silently speechless.

"...Master will find a way."

"It's okay, I can stay by your side in this way."

"..."

The most common thing to stay with Jiuyuan is this kind of silent atmosphere, but it doesn't feel awkward at all, it's a bit like an old couple who have been with each other for many years without worry, the time is peaceful but not long.

Jiu Yuan's tall body shrouded Su Bai in the shadow, just as he has been protecting Jiu Li since ancient times, Jiu Yuan looked down at Su Bai who was curled up beside him, thinking about something intently.

In his previous life, Jiuyuan always believed that love is tolerance and protection, but now he feels that it is much more than that. There are selfish/desires, madness and possession. Although Ling Jianhua's methods are despicable, some of them are still good methods...

"Let me take a look..." Su Bai didn't notice Jiu Yuan's changing eyes at all, took out the note Ling Jianhua gave him and studied it carefully, muttering, "What are these... rhino horns, compass, jujube Wood……"

Jiu Yuan also took a look, but didn't comment. Ling Jianhua thought carefully that he should be able to use all the things he prepared. The two followed the address on the note and walked into a winding alley.

Su Bai observed the surrounding environment, still muttering in his mouth: "If I get lost, I can't go back, it's all because of him..."

A very old alley, surrounded by some old residential buildings from the last century, where street lights can't even shine in.

The two wandered around the winding old alley for a long time, looking at the house numbers one by one with a flashlight, but they couldn't find the address No. 13 Qingming Road, and it didn't look like a place with a store.

"It's strange... I didn't see No. 13 on Mingqing Road at all? Could it be that Ling Jianhua wrote the wrong address?" Su Bai rubbed his chin in thought.

At this time, Jiu Yuan's eyes sank, and he looked back: "There are people behind."

"Huh?" Su Bai stood behind Jiu Yuan and looked with his head. Sure enough, there were two figures coweringly hiding beside the trash bin not far away. Eh, what are you doing with us so late?Could it be robbery?

Su Bai is really coming back, maybe they will know where Qingming Road is?So he pulled Jiu Yuan and ran towards the two figures, "Hey!" The two figures seemed not expecting each other to come straight over, and they were also taken aback.

After getting closer, he realized that these two people were dressed as students. Su Bai glanced at the switchblade that the person was still holding in his hand. His hair was dyed yellow like a chicken coop, and he was dressed in nondescript ways. He couldn't help sighing that he had gone astray. boy...

Tsk tsk, let him and Jiu Yuan save you today.

"You, what are you doing!" The two students who looked like they held a knife and stared at Su Bai viciously.

Su Bai didn't care, and said kindly, "Do you know how to get to No. 13 Mingqing Road?"

"..."

The two students paused for a moment, as if they didn't expect that Su Bai would ask for the way instead of running away, the young man whose self-esteem was hit said viciously again: "How do I know! Since we met, why don't you get some money to spend?"

"Do you really want to do this? I think you are still students, and you can't go on the road of no return for money at such a young age..." Seeing this, Su Bai was displeased, and babbled to them, "Think about your parents and Teacher, are you worthy of being optimistic about your public..."

"Shut up, brat!!" The yellow-haired young man yelled angrily. This brat actually educated them. It seems that he won't obediently take money if he doesn't give them some flair.

So when the young man raised his knife to scare the other party, Jiu Yuan stood up, looking down at the two depraved young men in front of him with a tall and straight body.

Su Bai is very calm, you will be calm if you see this kind of thing a lot, but they are not, so they are not calm.

"you you……"

The two depraved teenagers suddenly softened, and were scared to death by Jiuyuan's fierce murderous aura. After all, they were only seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys. It should be easy to kill them when they saw their unfamiliar faces and unfamiliar places. Instead, Jiuyuan repaired him.

"Hey wait!" Su Bai called to stop the two fleeing teenagers in time, Jiu Yuan stepped forward two or three steps after hearing this, reached out and grabbed one of the teenagers by the collar, and brought it in front of Su Bai.

"You, you, please forgive me..." The boy looked at Su Bai and shrank his head, pleading.

Jiong Su Bai, quickly signaled Jiuyuan to put him down, making us seem to be bullying elementary school students...

"I just want to ask, do you really know where No. 13 Mingqing Road is?"

The yellow-haired boy shook his head and looked at Jiu Yuan timidly: "Are you sure you haven't been tricked by someone? I've lived here for decades, and there are only residents from 1 to 12 Mingqing Road here, and there is no No. 13 at all... ..."

what?

"Damn..." Su Bai's face darkened, there is no No. 13 at all?Is Ling Jianhua still holding grudges against him?

Seeing that Su Bai's face darkened, the two boys shrank their heads for fear that Jiu Yuan would beat them up.

"Forget it, don't do this kind of thing again, he and I will stay here for a while, if we find out..."

After the two boys nodded, Su Bai weakly let Jiu Yuan let the two children go. Seeing that their hands and feet disappeared after a while, he was depressed again: "Then what should we do now? Go back to the hotel?" Looking up, he asked Jiu Yuan for his opinion.

Jiu Yuan said that he listened to Su Bai, but he felt that Ling Jianhua was not the kind of person who didn't care about the occasion.

Su Bai also thought about it seriously, Ling Jianhua didn't seem to be the kind of person who specially tricked them out for fun, could it really be a typo?

Su Bai took out the note and read it again, but the number 13 was clearly written on it. He took out his phone and looked at the time, it was already 11:59, it was freezing to death in the middle of the night, Su Bai lowered his head and pressed the phone Press the button, ready to call Ling Jianhua and ask.

Suddenly a strong wind hit, with the penetrating cold air, Jiu Yuan keenly felt a bad breath, quickly put on Su Bai's shoulder, with a serious expression: "Su Bai."

"Huh?" Su Bai heard the sound and looked up at Jiuyuan. At this time, the time on the bright screen of the phone jumped and changed to 00:00. Suddenly there was a slight movement under his feet. The surrounding streets, residential buildings, including the garbage he saw just now The box moved rapidly like a marquee!

"Damn it!" Su Bai cursed secretly and shook his body, his expression became serious as he supported Jiu Yuan, looking at the constantly moving scenes around him, as a ghost exorcist, he had never seen such a supernatural scene before. , I don't know how long it has been moving, only to hear a "click" before stopping.

"...It seems that something is different."

Su Bai raised his head and looked at the strange dark red sky, the moonlight was hazy.

There was no moon in the sky before, and there were layers of cloudy air around them, covering the two of them like a black mist. The old-fashioned residential houses and garbage bins in the surrounding scenes were still in place. The placement was the same as before, but the atmosphere was completely different. This is The breath of the underworld.

He once met his master by chance, it was exactly 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the gate of ghosts opened. It is said that the gate of ghosts is the entrance to another time, and it must be opened at a specific time and place. At that time, he followed the master To meet an old friend of his who happened to live in the underworld.

So what's going on now?

"Is it the gate of ghosts?" Jiu Yuan also observed for a while, Jiu Yuan who had Su Bai's memory obviously felt familiar, and Su Bai nodded, but why did they enter the gate of ghosts inexplicably?

Suddenly the quiet street suddenly became lively, with invisible black shadows passing by Su Bai and Jiu Yuan, the surroundings were filled with all kinds of hawking and boiling voices, and with the dark red light of the moon, It looked particularly weird.

Do not……

No, the underworld is not like this.

Su Bai frowned and stared at the street where the black shadows passed by, full of gloom, the black shadows around him became more and more clear, and turned into human shapes, most of them had people with various packages and wooden carts in their hands, It looks very much like a crowded market near the shopping street.

Is it...

"This is a ghost market?!" Su Bai was shocked. He had seen it in books before. As the name suggests, a ghost market is a place where wandering ghosts come out to set up stalls and trade. The ghost market is only open in a specific area at midnight when it is cloudy. People often step into a ghost market accidentally when they go out in the middle of the night, and wake up on the street the next day.

As if to confirm what Su Bai thought, the black shadows around sat down one by one, opened the bags in their hands, revealed many things that Su Bai had never seen before, and shouted, the silent street became chaotic and extremely lively.

"It seems that what Ling Jianhua said should be bought here."

Jiu Yuan took Su Bai's hand, looked around calmly, and probably guessed about it.

"Yeah..." Su Bai also understood Ling Jianhua's intention of calling him out to buy things in the middle of the night. The things sold in this ghost market are more useful than those in the mortal world, but what mortals get for buying things is not money, but Mingbi and Yangshou!

He also gritted his teeth with hatred: "It's really not something ordinary people can do in this kind of place to buy things."

Moreover, this place where ghosts stay is extremely dark, and people's lives will be shortened if they stay for a long time!

Ling Jianhua is cruel to you!
