Serving Master Tianshi

"who is he?"

"Hahaha, that's him." The old man spoke vaguely, and when Li Nan asked again, he only got a reply with laughter. It seemed that the old man deliberately didn't clarify the identity of 'him'.

Yan Xingyan slowly put the bamboo sword behind his back, unfastened the blindfold on his right eye with one hand, and stared at the old man in coir raincoat with his black and red ghostly eyes.

"Go in." He waved the long pole of the boat, tapped the top of the pole lightly on the shore, and immediately the straw boat under his feet drifted into the vast sea with the current.Li Nan's eyes followed the mysterious old man who appeared suddenly, and he saw the face of the other party decaying rapidly in the waves, and it turned into a bone almost instantly, washed away by the sea.

Yan Xingyan put on the blindfold again, and used his wet sleeves to straighten out Feng Li's hair, "Don't look, it's just an ordinary water ghost. It was probably a ferryman in the lake and sea before. Doing the same thing for years."

"Hmm." Li Nan closed his eyes and turned around, letting the dark water completely submerge the dot, "What should we do next? Go in or..."

"If you don't go in, why are you waiting on the shore?" Yan Xingyan hooked his tail finger evasively as he spoke. Li Nan immediately felt his little finger being moved. He turned his face and saw that Yan Xingyan was already standing on his right side. ahead.

"Let's go, didn't the boatman say that we are guests? No matter who invited the guests, and it doesn't matter whether it's a dragon pool or a tiger's den, I'm always there, and there's this red thread, you won't lose it."

In a strange and dangerous place, the presence of another person is always so reassuring.Li Nan also hooked his fingers, and saw Yan Xingyan's little finger holding the bamboo flute vibrate at the same frequency as he wished.

The invisible connection between him and Yan Xingyan that no one else can know or discover makes Li Nan's heart speed up inexplicably, and it feels more ambiguous than holding hands in real life.

"Did you say it the wrong way... Who on earth will get lost?" Li Nan's mood became strangely out of tune, he was clearly in an unknown and dangerous place, and his future was uncertain.

"I'm going to get lost, I'm going to get lost, okay!" Fengli cried out, "Why don't we just wait on the shore, I... I always have a bad feeling."

"What hunch?"

"... just the feeling of coldness in the ears."

"That's because your ears are wet and haven't been wiped dry." Words and Deeds Yan ruthlessly ignored Fengli's protest, he and Li Nan exchanged glances, and walked in the direction where the ghosts left.

"Words and deeds, do you still remember the ghostly words we heard after we landed just now?" Li Nan suddenly remembered the strange things that happened before the old man in coir raincoat appeared, "Don't living people understand nonsense?"

"Remember." Words and Deeds Yan nodded, "I don't understand why, the most likely explanation is that this place is special, a place where yin and yang intersect, neither belongs to the world nor to the underworld, so here, the living and the dead be able to communicate.”

Li Nan looked at him quietly, waiting for the words and deeds to continue.There is still darkness ahead, and where will they go next, but the strange thing is that every time they take a step, there will always be a dim orange light spot at their feet, faintly illuminating the distance of half a meter around them, as if It is to guide them in the direction of progress, and it seems to be the inducement of a trap.

"The place where yin and yang intersect..." Yan Yan murmured and repeated, "...I don't know, these places are difficult for living people to enter, and there are too few records. It's like the Peach Blossom Spring, it's all by chance and coincidence, there are no rules to follow The law, if you hit it, you hit it...and most people who go in will keep silent about it, and I have no idea."

"No hurry." Li Nan had just memorized the Hundred Ghost Records, and the rest of the formations and talismans were still in the catalog on the title page, let alone these things that are extracurricular reading materials for the celestial master, he is the real one His mind went blank, but that didn't stop him from thinking.

"We can analyze it slowly. Of course, it is more likely that we have seen the true face of Mount Lu before we have figured out why."

This is because Li Nan found that the range that the orange light spot can illuminate is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more places that can be seen clearly.

"Before we entered this place, we were on a speedboat, planning to go to a small island in the middle of the sea. After entering, we were also on the boat, so it is very likely that this place is also in the middle of the sea, and it is an island."

"Islands..." The banquet of words and deeds obviously began to recall the islands beyond life and death, and Li Nan continued to think: "And what I said to those ghosts just now, their tone is very relaxed and casual , then at least for ghosts, this is a place without any danger, even a place of entertainment."

Fengli shook the tips of his ears, "I feel that they are almost here for an outing. I also heard a male ghost asking for the contact information of a female ghost next to him... Do you think that students in the world will travel in autumn, and ghosts from the underworld will also travel together?"

"I heard that too." Li Nan smiled, "There was also a woman who complained that it was her daughter who made her come here, that is to say, this is a place that children like...? Similar to a zoo or an amusement park field?"

"Li Nan, it's a pity that you don't make up stories." Yan Yan completely gave up thinking. He had only heard of the [-]th floor of hell, but had never heard of Disney in the Underworld or the Playful Valley of the Underworld. He couldn't help thinking astray. If you open an ocean park in the underworld, will you make a lot of money?

"I think my analysis makes sense."

The brightness of the orange light spots is close to that of fluorescent lamps, illuminating the road covered with messy footprints. They seem to be walking on the snow, or stepping on the fine white sand. Except for the footprints, everywhere they look is There is endless whiteness, and the distance is submerged in darkness.

Finally, after walking for about 10 minutes in the same place, Li Nan and Yan Xingyan saw rows of ghost images. Of course, if they hadn't seen them on the boat before, they would definitely think that they were the same as themselves. is alive.

Because all these ghosts have hands and feet, and their facial expressions are extremely vivid, they lined up crookedly in a long line, and they laughed from time to time.

Li Nan and his words and deeds were generous and expertly mixed in, regardless of what he was queuing for, just follow the queuing and it's over.Look at the happy faces of these ghosts one by one, and there is nothing better than queuing up to receive gold.

The team was moving very fast, Li Nan seized the time to pat a ghost standing in front of them, "Hello, may I ask where are we going in line?"

"Huh?" A tall, young woman in a cheongsam turned around incredulously, "The ghosts are here, are you kidding me?"

"..." Li Nan told her that she really didn't have it with a realistic expression.

Words and deeds banquet helped to explain: "We didn't come here on our own initiative, just in the blink of an eye, we somehow got on the boat that came here. What is this place?"

The young woman looked at Li Nan in surprise and then at the banquet of words and deeds, "This is a ghost market, a ghost market that happens every year on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the Ming calendar... Are you alive? It smells like...just now I'm not sure yet, after all, there haven't been humans in the ghost city for hundreds of years."

The moment they were identified, Li Nan and Yan Yan tensed their shoulders, and Feng Li pricked up his ears, but then, the woman waved her hand and said, "What are you afraid of? .Anyway, no matter whether you are dead or alive, you have to queue up to enter the venue, and you have to pay for things to buy later.”

"Buying things?" Li Nan showed an expression that the current situation has exceeded the brain's load—abbreviated as dazed, the young woman smiled and touched the hairpin on the top of her head, "Ghost market ghost market, what ghost market do you not buy. Look at my hairpin, I found it at a small stall in a corner of the ghost market more than 40 years ago, and I am so jealous of my sister Liu next door."

Li Nan was a little out of touch with the topic, he turned his head to look at the banquet of words and deeds, and when he saw the other party, he also looked confused.

"But... don't ghost markets only appear in the rainforest around Qingming?"

"Hahaha, little brother, who misled you?" The cheongsam woman smiled heartily, "Then what kind of ghost market is that in the forest? Go or not go."

As she said, she took a few steps forward, and she happened to be able to see the entrance of the ghost market, "There is the official entrance, and there will be a land lord who checks your carry-on items. If you have any..."

Yan Xingyan silently clenched the bamboo flute in her hand, and this action happened to fall into the eyes of the woman, she chuckled, "Your magic power is too weak, you can't hurt anyone here, don't worry about being taken away."

"..."

Yan Yan clenched the bamboo flute even harder, but this time, he was afraid that the bamboo flute would not want to be humiliated and wanted to fight desperately with a woman.Li Nan thanked the woman repeatedly before entering the door, Feng Li also shrank on his shoulders, and obediently called out thank you Miss Sister.

The woman in the cheongsam hadn't noticed that there was a little fluffy thing here before, so she let out a soft cry of joy and touched Fengli's head several times.Afterwards, the woman actually took an ear clip from her earlobe, and gently put it on Fengli's ear. I don't know what spell she cast in the middle, but the size was just right.

"Anyway, if this thing is on me, it will definitely be taken away later, and I don't bother to come back to get it, so I will give it to you." The woman tapped the tip of Fengli's nose, "...Your species, you are still cute when you were young , it will become annoying when it grows up."

Fengli: "???"

The entrance of the ghost market is a water curtain that leads directly to the heavens. The water flow is thin and shiny, and seven or eight waist-high land lords jump up and down to check the security.When the woman's figure disappeared behind the water curtain, Li Nan immediately hugged Fengli to him, carefully observed the jade ear clip, "Why did the lady give you this?"

The wind raccoon was also dumbfounded, it didn't feel the joy of being gifted at all, instead it looked frightened, "I don't know...would it be poisonous... Am I so lovable? I... I know that there is no such thing as pie in the sky..."

Words and deeds also felt strange, he stretched out his hand to try to get such an ear clip, but he couldn't find a trick for a while, and he didn't dare to force it, so he had to comfort Feng Li, who was almost crying from fright, "Maybe you are the hero, Gao People are rushing to give you magic weapons."

Li Nan also patted Fengli on the back, "That lady doesn't look like a bad person... If you really don't like it, after you get out of here and return to the real world, I'll study the mechanism carefully and remove it for you."

The Lord of Earth had already finished checking them while talking, and the speed was twice as fast as checking the people in front of him. Li Nan vaguely heard one of them say: living people... the threat is extremely low... After that, the other six or seven were I looked over and licked them from head to toe with the look of watching and cherishing giant pandas.

"Please come in."

The short Tudi Gong gave way to Li Nan and Yan Yanyan to the entrance.
