Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Chapter 148 The meaning of the old man Erhu (800 monthly ticket for additional updates)

When this familiar and ethereal voice echoed into the alleys of Xining again, Chen Ye's pupils shrank slightly and he suddenly realized something.

The old woman selling chestnuts...appeared again?

The alley backs onto the alleys of Xining. As long as you reach the end and climb over the low yellow earth wall, you can return there.

boom!

The next second, Chen Ye's face split open, and his mouthparts changed into the shape of a devourer. He supported himself on the ground, walked quickly like an octopus, climbed over the low wall in an instant, and returned to the maze-like alley of Xining. .

He was almost running, trying to identify the source of the sound while chasing after it.

"Selling chestnuts, fresh sugar-roasted chestnuts, no money if they are not delicious..."

The erratic sound kept moving towards the north gate, gradually getting closer and closer.

Under the crimson moonlight, a figure pulling a trolley quietly appeared in the red mist.

"Grandma."

Chen Ye shouted loudly and stopped the other party.

"Haha, young man, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your cooking skills seem to be even better."

The old woman selling chestnuts turned around slowly, smiling with wrinkles all over her face.

How many days... Chen Ye had mixed feelings for a while. For some reason, if calculated in terms of days, the difference was indeed not long, but it seemed that it had been a long time since they had met.

"Grandma, didn't you already leave? Why did you suddenly come back?"

Chen Ye asked curiously.

"Hey, you don't know. Although the environment on East Street is safe, the prices are so high!"

"Almost a dozen times more expensive than here!"

"Of course, there is no mess there, and the food is safe enough."

"But not only food, but also clothing and supplies are not that expensive there!"

"Fortunately, the business there is still good, and I can barely make a living, but because there are more customers, it turns out that the old spatula has been used for too long, and I can't bear it. I accidentally broke it with my force..."

"I wanted to save some money, so I came back here and bought some stuff."

The old woman selling chestnuts groped with her hands and took out the newly bought spatula from the trolley. She smiled so much that her missing teeth were exposed:

“The stuff from the old place is better, it’s easy to use, cheap, and economical...”

Chen Ye looked at the spatula and his heart moved slightly.

From this point of view, the Yongan market should still be able to open normally.

However, in order to keep an eye out, Chen Ye asked one more question:

"Grandma, are there any stalls doing business in Yong'an Market now?"

The old woman selling chestnuts nodded and said, "Of course. The more critical the moment, the more urgent it is to make money so that we can have enough food to support our livelihood!"

"However, compared with before, there are really fewer and fewer stalls in this place..."

“I don’t know when we will run out of business.”

Chen Ye was slightly moved and noticed from this sentence that the Yongan market was not completely unchanged.

Fortunately, I came early enough...

Although the dice rolls out the spiritual number "2", it does not mean that nothing good will happen.

If you don't choose to act tonight because "2" is rolled out and you see that your luck is not particularly good, you may miss the encounter with the old woman selling chestnuts.

After all, according to what the other party said, it seems that the business on East Street is very good.

I came back recently just to get a little bargain and buy a spatula.

certainly……

If she had any other plans, only the old woman selling chestnuts would know.

"If you hadn't come here today, you would probably have missed this opportunity!"

Chen Ye took a deep breath and realized that the dice was just a reference and there was no need to care about the results.

The more you focus on your plans, the more you will gain.

When this idea flashed into Chen Ye's mind, for some reason, he felt a sense of digestion coming from his understanding of the characteristics of fate again.

It seems that somehow, one's own energy field will also be affected by "digestion".

But this kind of influence brings a more transparent feeling, which is not negative, but tends to be beneficial.

"Grandma, do you know something about my master?"

Chen Ye's eyes became a little deeper, and he finally asked what he wanted to ask the most.

Since the old woman selling chestnuts and the old man Erhu have known each other for a long time, they may also know more information.

And the old man Erhu has now gone to another world. How he should meet and how the other party exists is unknown.

"He was a great being."

The old woman selling chestnuts said with a genuine smile.

"A great being?"

"Yes, isn't it great to be able to perform art that reaches straight to the soul?"

"It makes sense..."

Chen Ye suddenly found himself speechless to refute. From the other party's perspective, this was indeed the case.

The old woman selling chestnuts looked up at the crimson moon in the sky and sighed:

"But your master means a great benefactor to me. His gift is a kind of salvation, a kind of relief, a kind of new life for me..."

Redemption...relief...rebirth...

Chen Ye repeatedly chewed on these three words spoken by the old woman selling chestnuts, trying to figure out their meaning.

"Young man, it's getting late. You should still have things to do."

Dark clouds suddenly surged in the sky, covering half of the moonlight. The crimson color dimmed and reflected on the old woman's body, making her figure look unreal as if it was about to disappear at any moment.

Chen Ye suddenly realized that the old woman selling chestnuts was about to leave, and asked quickly:

"Grandma, if I want to find you in the future, where should I go?"

The old woman selling chestnuts said with a kind smile:

"You can go to East Street, the business there is good. If nothing else happens, I will stay there for a long time in the future."

"East Street?" Chen Ye felt a little confused, "What is this place?"

There is a West Street on the pedestrian street next to Xijiang Park.

Located in the prosperous area to the west of Linjiang City.

But what kind of place is East Street? It seems that I have never heard of it?

The old woman selling chestnuts smiled and said:

"In the eastern ancient town further north, there is a place called [Fengdu]."

"Hidden among the mountains, there is an ancient city hidden underground."

"That place is quite hidden and not easy to find. It is also built deep in the mountains. If you walk from here, you can't reach it in a day, and it is very dangerous at night."

"Young man, if you want to go there, you have to save money to buy a car. It will be more convenient to travel!"

"It's best to buy a car with automatic navigation. You don't have to worry about where you go. Haha, young people have potential. All new technologies have been developed now."

The old woman selling chestnuts gave a few nagging instructions, and her figure gradually became ethereal and disappeared into the thick fog, leaving only an auditory hallucination-like voice floating around.

"Fengdu?"

Chen Ye frowned slightly, and relevant information gradually emerged in his memory.

Linjiang City is a huge city. In addition to the main urban area, it is also surrounded by vast mountains and swamps. The roads are rugged and the territory is vast.

The urban area is only a small part of the area.

In this city with a total area of ​​80,000 square kilometers, in addition to the main city, there are also remote suburban mountains. As a famous scenic spot, there is such an ancient city of Fengdu, which contains myths that have been passed down from ancient times to the present, and is mysterious and extraordinary.

Before the bloody countdown and every holiday, many tourists from all over the world visit Fengdu Ancient City.

As a long-established house, of course Chen Ye has never traveled that far.

But he knew that it would take at least several hours to reach Fengdu just by car.

It’s not that far away!

According to what the old lady selling chestnuts said, it is best to have a car to get there.

This car...can't be a trolley, right?

It also comes with an automatic navigation.

Chen Ye recalled carefully and suddenly realized that since the bloody countdown came, there seemed to be almost no vehicles on the road.

The only time I saw a car...

It turned out to be that night, when the little boy disappeared across the traffic light on the road, a black car happened to pass by!

"Could it be that... the old lady selling chestnuts asked me to buy this kind of car?"

Chen Ye suddenly remembered this detail, as if he had solved a puzzle.

However, this thing does not seem to be a simple thing in the strange era.

If not...you should see a lot of cars on the road, right?

"I wonder if there is any in Yongan Market..."

Chen Ye muttered something in his heart, turned on his red phone and looked at the time, and suddenly realized that it was already early morning before he knew it.

Time seems to pass faster than imagined.

You must hurry up and go to the silver coin market when the Yong'an Market opens to ask about the artist.

Chen Ye quickened his pace.

Soon, he passed through the north gate and came to the entrance of Yongan Market again.

At a glance, it was still deep there, and in the hazy black mist, some moving outlines of figures could be seen.

However……

After unlocking the spiritual power of the [spiritual world], Chen Ye could clearly sense that Yongan Market seemed less mysterious.

It seems that I can use this channel to further reveal the true face of Yongan's market rules.

His mind moved, and he suddenly remembered something, and began to focus on the purple energy in the halo, summoning the feather strings in the gray mist air mass.

Soon, Yu Xian's figure emerged from the gray mist air mass, yawned and said:

"It's so late...so sleepy...so sleepy..."

"Sleep with you, let's get to work!" Chen Ye knocked the guy on the head, "Go in and see if you can see what's inside?"

"Ouch..."

Yu Xian had a sad face, but he could only follow Chen Ye's will, turned into gray mist, and escaped into the entrance of Yong'an Market.

It didn't take long.

His figure floated out from inside, returned to Chen Ye, nodded and said:

"sure!"

Chen Ye's mind moved: "What's it like there?"

Yu Xian scratched his head, as if it was difficult to express this answer, and he hesitated:

"Hmm... nothing is different. It seems to be a normal world."

"A normal world?"

Chen Ye frowned slightly. Judging from his experience in entering the Yong'an market, it doesn't look like normal, right?

Suddenly, he realized something and asked:

"Can you transform what you see into pictures simultaneously and project them into my mind?"

Yu Xian was stunned, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded:

"I didn't seem to have this ability originally, but after eating your food, it seems that I have unlocked the relevant abilities. I can use my spiritual power to project the images I see to you."

Chen Ye's eyes suddenly showed a burst of joy.

The rules of Yong'an Market are just that you can't look directly at everything there...

But if it is reflected in one's own mind using Yu Xian's vision and a third party as a channel, then that doesn't count as direct vision, right?

Moreover, as a being in the spiritual world, Yuxian seemed to have no problem looking directly at that place.

The rules here seem to be unable to restrict the existence of the spiritual world!

With this ability...

Then, when you enter Yongan Market again, you can get the surrounding vision information!
