Vientiane Senro

Of course, the ghost market is held at night.

Ten days have passed since then, and Ji Qiu has not continued to accept commissions these days.With the help of the mission of eliminating demon masters, he already has the most basic and comprehensive understanding of this world. He has guessed that if something really happens in this world, he who travels upwards along the flow of time will be involved , that is more likely to be caused by the protagonist of the plot. As for whether he has implicated others, this point only flashed slightly, and then disappeared from his thoughts.At most, he just cut off the induction between the space-time compass and the government of time. The function of traveling through time still relies on the golden precision compass device. If there is an accident with it, it will be a big event involving the group of god judges.

Ji Qiu sat upright, with a pensive expression.

This is a neat and comfortable carriage, with a row of long straight chairs on both sides of the carriage, and a small square table at the rear, on which is a vase with peach blossoms inserted obliquely. The food boxes with snacks are properly placed, and the chair is also covered with a layer of soft and delicate cushions.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga opened the curtain on the right side curiously, the night sky was clear, the cold moon fell to the ground like frost and silver, the grunting sound of wheels rolling over the ground could be heard softly, and the black forest passed by darkly, Tsurumaru heard an old and sullen voice: "Master Yaodao, do you have any orders?"

Tsurumaru looked down, and there should have been a human face protruding from the round shaft of the wheel. Tsurumaru couldn't see its whole picture, only the bald head exposed in the middle of its gray hair. This is a "wheel" It is said that it is a kind of monster that will run from Chengdu to the mountain with a frightening momentum at dusk, and will crush the legs of children if it is seen. Because it is related to the wheel, it is often used as a vehicle for driving The tool is used by those who want to use it, and this one, after being captured by the exorcising master, signed a contract to become a shikigami "Winrito", the owner is also a well-known and powerful figure among the exorcising masters, this time it was captured by Ji Qiujiu Borrow it as a frame for entering the ghost city.

"No, it's nothing." Tsurumaru laughed, and put down the right hand that lifted the curtain again. He looked at Ji Qiu, who had already closed his eyes, as if he was immersed in his own world, and he didn't know what he was doing. Think about something.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga sighed silently, the worries and doubts he had just entered into the other world finally disappeared in the unique atmosphere of this world, he already felt that although the judge of the gods is very young, what he pursued Things are very different from other people he knows.In this world, some people want to live a rich life, some people just want to live a mediocre life, some people want to fight for a single tree, and some people, what they see with their eyes has exceeded a certain limit.

The carriage under him trembled slightly, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga felt his whole body being driven upwards. Looking out from the wind-blown car curtain, he could see the clouds that were within reach outside the window. If he was outside the window, Then you can see this unmanned demon car flying into the vast sea of ​​clouds.The moon was magnified several times like a jade plate, and the dots of light on the earth were scattered on the black shadows, and they had already flown into the sky.

This wonderful feeling of leaving the ground did not last long, and the movement was very slight when Lun Rudao landed, just like when it flew away.Before Tsurumaru Kuninaga opened his mouth to remind him, Ji Qiu had already opened his eyes, and he left the carriage, Tsurumaru followed, and Rinuridou's old and deep voice sounded behind them: "Master Mori, the little demon is here Waiting here."

Ji Qiu nodded. In his sleeve, the bamboo stick from before was shining with a lavender light. There was a mist around him, and he couldn't see anything nearby. Only the bamboo stick kept giving reminders. , to point out the direction for the comer.

If it is an ordinary human being, there is a high probability that they will just circle around in confusion, and then be sent out to the periphery by the power of the fog.

Ji Qiu followed the bamboo sticks and walked forward. Along the way, the soil on the ground gradually became less and more of a kind of damp stone. The air gradually became heavier, and when Ji Qiu saw the light, the noisy voices of the "people" were just around the corner.

This is a bustling seaside market, much larger than what Ji Qiu and Tsurumaru Kuninaga imagined. The flames spread across the entire coast, and some tall and short people walked there. Monsters, some of them wear human clothes, some only show the body of monsters, some walk on two feet, and some are suspended in a cloud of mist, with fish heads and cat tails, many eyes and sharp teeth. Compared with modern humans, they It seems to be more inclined to the ancient era. Even if it is covered with clothes, it is mostly a gorgeous kimono.

Compared to a ghost market, it was more like a customary gathering.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga was attracted by the first booth at the entrance, as if he had noticed his observation, among the hideous and weird masks of various colors, one of the all-white female masks suddenly opened. Yan greeted: "Hey, guest, which one do you like?"

Tsurumaru was taken aback.

"Hehehehe," the masked monster with a white face and red lips let out a series of laughs: "Look at you, brother, you look so good, if you fall in love with me, I can't leave with you!"

Tsurumaru took a few steps forward and left, compared to before, the distance between him and Ji Qiu was shortened a lot by him quietly.

"Don't be shy!" came a shout from behind.

The stalls of the monsters are not arranged in a chaotic manner, and there seems to be a certain pattern hidden in them. Apart from some popular commodities, there are also some scattered vendors gathered in some small corners. When Tsurumaru passed by a fragrant Oden stall, Seeing the stall owner with a big red fish head rolling the food in the cauldron with a spoon, the red steaming meat looms, and the vegetables are more like a long seaweed in the water, no imagination The scene in the movie made Tsurumaru Kuninaga let out a sigh of relief.

An octopus wearing a chef's hat is making fried squid. Many customers crowded in front of its booth. Tsurumaru Kuninaga was a little curious about the source of its ingredients.Ji Qiu has already parked in a quiet alley away from the main road, which is a little far from the center and avoids the invasion of smoke and oil gas. This is a small bookstall, and the owner is a man carrying a bamboo basket. An old man with a slightly curved hunchback, an old wrinkled face, his eyes are cloudy, and he coughs from time to time, showing no signs of magic.

A picture of a beautiful lady is hung beside him. In the delicate scroll is a portrait of a beautiful girl. There are mountains and rivers as the scenery, flowers and birds. The girl in the painting is very vividly outlined. The clothes are exquisite and beautiful, and her expression seems to be affectionate. When she turned her head, she used a round fan to cover half of her smile.

When Ji Qiu looked at the painting, he also seemed to meet the eyes of the woman in the painting. The old man opened his closed eyes slightly and glanced at him.

Ji Qiu lowered his head, lingering on the books that the old man placed on the curtain in front of him, these are some old books with age, some pages are yellowed and missing, and there are some scattered bamboo slips that are not even paper, The weird textures of the stone carvings are more like a scammer's trick than a commodity.

"Cough," the old man coughed lightly, and interrupted: "Guest, do you want to buy a painting?"

Ji Qiu looked up at him for a while, then smiled slightly and said, "What's the old man's name?"

"You can just call me 'Shu Weng'." Seeing Ji Qiu being so polite, the old man softened his attitude, and a smile was piled on his face that had stayed overnight, not like a monster, but like a thoroughly old man. The human beings who have gone, even every trace of skin is wrinkled. "These are small gadgets collected in daily life, real valuable treasures, and they should be paintings that I exchanged from a famous painter when I was young, depending on your current age, compared to these withered old books , or this picture of a fairy is more suitable for you."

Seeing Ji Qiu smiling and not saying a word, Shuweng coughed harder, he sighed and said: "If it's not because I'm old... oh... oh..."

He patted his thigh and wanted to continue talking, but Ji Qiu didn't seem to understand the meaning of his words. He sighed several times, and finally took it on himself with the cheek: "When I was young, For a while, I really dreamed of meeting the fairy in the painting day and night, always thinking that it would be great if she would come out of the painting one day, but it's a pity...it's a pity...if it wasn't my time, I would have I won't sell this kind of treasure at the bottom of the box. It's not for money, but I hope that I can choose a suitable person with insight who can help me continue to protect it, love it dearly, and prevent it from being damaged... ..."

He secretly raised his eyelids to see Ji Qiu's expression, but he couldn't see the young man's emotions, which made his thoughts calm down...Suddenly, a burst of icy rain fell from the sky, and it was lively The atmosphere of the gathering was a bit chaotic due to the sudden change of weather, and the old man didn't care about Ji Qiu anymore. He frowned, as if he didn't understand, but soon, he suddenly realized, and blurted out: "Dragon King!"
