long distance

The sun hangs high in the sky, and the scorching heat bakes the land under its feet, but the strange thing is that there is no piece of dry soil here, but it is evergreen and lush all the year round.

It is hotter and more humid than other places, so the vegetation here is more lush, and the insects are twice as large as those in other cities.Chang Li stopped the horse with a cry, turned over neatly, and stepped onto the land of Fujihama.

Fujihama is a seaside city that is like spring all the year round. There are several primeval forests. It took nearly half a year for Changli to come to this southeast sea city with a specious memory in his mind.

"Boss, here's a bowl of herbal tea." Chang Li tied the horse to the stake, went into the tea shed, found a seat and sat down.

"Here comes the tea~" The owner of the tea shed was a kind-hearted man, he waved a small bamboo fan, and brought Chang Li a bowl of herbal tea to relieve the heat.

The residents of Fujihama like to go out of the house to do errands wearing half-armed clothes, but Changli's clothes look dry and hot.Changli picked up the herbal tea in front of him, thinking about going to the clothing store to pick out a few gauze clothes to change, otherwise he would be roasted after a few moments.

"Hey, have you heard that a few villagers in Linhai saw a ghost market a while ago?"

"Ghost market? Could it be the one from more than ten years ago?"

"That's the one, hey, I heard from those villagers that at first they didn't think about what it was, and thought they had encountered a legendary mirage. Then they took a closer look, hey, it's a ghost city!"

Changli pricked up his ears and listened earnestly. This Fujihama is already the city closest to the southeast sea area, that is to say, if there really is a legendary fairy island, then it is necessary to start searching for clues here.But the folk customs here are simple, after a day, Changli did not find any news about Nanzhu Xiandao, which made her very disappointed.

However, there is nowhere to look for through broken iron shoes, and in this small roadside tea shed, I heard related news.It's just that the "ghost market" they talked about was the Nanzhu Wonderland she was looking for?

Chang Li thought for a moment, took his own tea bowl, took a few taels of silver from his lapel and stood up.

"Two big brothers, inquire about something."

The eyes of the two villagers shifted from the broken silver on the table to Chang Li's face, and they both took a choked breath.The girl in front of her had her black hair pulled up high in a high bun, and two strands of hair hung down from her temples, moving gently with the wind.What she was wearing was different from their simple half-arms, but a red skirt with elegant grosgrain and rings that echoed each other.The whole body seems to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, but those narrow and long phoenix eyes that have just grown up seem to capture thousands of lingering feelings in them, making one can't help but imagine her beauty when she grows up, it must be a frown Raising love, turning all living beings upside down.

"Two big brothers?" Chang Li looked at the two men who suddenly froze in front of him with some gloom, and repeated what he said just now.

"Ah, please tell me, little girl."

Chang Li glanced at the southeast direction, and the hair on her sideburns brushed gently with her movements, hanging down her cheeks, "What is the ghost market that the two big brothers mentioned just now?"

Seeing her and a little girl asking about the ghost market, the two men looked at each other in unison, hesitated, "Little girl, this ghost market is not the place you should ask about..."

As the man was talking, he was suddenly pushed by another man, and he was staring depressedly, only to find that his friend was hinting at the bow on Chang Li's back.An ordinary strong bow is only six jun, but this bow is obviously stronger than that.The girl looked weak, but she was carrying such a strong bow, so she was not an ordinary traveler.

The two men looked at each other, and after thinking together, they said to Changli: "Little girl, if you want to find a ghost market, we can take you to meet someone."

The great difference between Changli and Su Fangmu is that Su Fangmu always leads other people's thoughts, while Changli is led by others.At this time, she saw some connections, so she didn't have time to think about it, and asked eagerly: "No, two big brothers, since you know the ghost market, do you know that there is a fairy island in this sea area?"

"Xiandao?" A man frowned and said, "I've never heard of Xiandao."

Seeing that Chang Li was about to leave, the other man immediately said: "But I heard that there are many capable people and strangers in that ghost market. If you go with us, little girl, maybe someone will know about it!"

Changli thought for a moment, thinking that these two men were not her opponents, so he nodded and followed them to meet the person they said they wanted to meet.

Changli followed the two men, turned left and right, walked through many small roads, and finally came to a high-rise building at the end of the road. The two men said they were going to the back room to ask the man to come out, and let Changli sit alone first. Wait in the living room.

Chang Li was dishonest. After sitting for a while and seeing no one came, he began to walk around. When he came to the window, he raised his head and looked at the houses. Suddenly, I remembered what Su Fangmu once said to her. Most of these houses are located in humid places, designed for drainage and to prevent poisonous insects.

Half a year, whether it is long or not, is not short.When I was with Su Fangmu in the past, I felt that time passed like sand in a leak. Several years passed by unknowingly. Now I am alone, but I feel that time has frozen. I thought it had been a long time. I looked up The sun has not shifted an inch.

Chang Li touched his body, and took out the rouge that he had carried with him for half a year from the front of his clothes.The category of this box of rouge is called "Su Fangmu", which sounds the same as Su Fangmu, only the word "wood" is different.When it is opened, it is leaf yellow, faint on the cheeks, not as delicate and charming as Yanmi, but it has a faint charm that cannot be described.

When I got close to smell it, it was the unique light fragrance of Su Fangmu's body, which was lingering and lingering.Chang Li stroked the edge of the rouge box with his fingers, and a slight smile appeared on his lips before he knew it.

"The little girl has been waiting for a long time, it's because Liao Ji has neglected her."

Before the person arrives, the sound is transmitted first.

Chang Li immediately put away the rouge and looked up.I saw a woman who looked to be about twenty years old and raised the curtain early to look at me with interest.The woman's dress is pretty and bright, her black hair is tied into a delicate coiled snake bun, which shows her delicate face even more.She was wearing a half-arm gauze, and the arm that opened the curtain was as white as snow, and two colorful bracelets jingled on it.

Liao Ji was followed by the two strong men from before, serving a cup of herbal tea to Changli and Liao Ji.

"Little girl, I heard that you are going to Sea Wonderland?"

Chang Li took a sip of tea and replied, "Yes. I don't know what Sister Liao Ji can do."

Liao Jifang was about to speak, when he raised his eyes to see the sun-blocking bow on Changli's back, his slender eyes froze.

Chang Li looked a little uncomfortable by her, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

Liao Ji's eyes widened with a smile when she heard the words, "The bow and arrow on the little girl's body are about six feet eighty-eight. I think the person who can use such a strong bow must be a person with excellent martial arts. With martial arts, he should be able to protect himself in the ghost market." .”

"You mean I'm going to the ghost market? But I just want to go to the fairyland." Changli was puzzled.

Liao Ji chuckled, "The little girl is really straightforward. I'm afraid Liao Ji didn't make it clear just now that if you want to go to the fairyland on the sea, you have to go through the ghost market."

Chang Li thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, then go to the ghost market."

"Have courage." Liao Ji clapped her hands, a man got the order, lifted the curtain and entered the back room, and took a soft whip and handed it to Liao Ji after a while.

When Changli saw the whip, she was subconsciously a little apprehensive, and she would never forget the piercing Taiwu long whip in the same town, the tricky and weird angle, the icy-cold pain when it was swung on her body, and the pain it brought to her. An eternal pain in her heart.

The person she loves the most was hurt by such a whip, and she still hasn't woken up to this day.

Seeing that Changli's mind was slightly distracted, Liao Ji's lips twitched slightly at a place that Changli couldn't see.

"Then we're leaving tonight."

Changli gripped the rouge porcelain box tightly, and nodded resolutely, "Okay."

Child time, Fujihama coast

The moonlight by the sea is extremely bright, sprinkled on the undulating sea, as if covering the sea with a layer of silver, vast and dreamlike.Chang Li stood on the shore and looked at it. He was disappointed to find that there was no ghost market at all on the sea. When he looked over, it was as flat as a mirror.

Sensing Chang Li's distrustful gaze, Liao Ji pushed the soft whip to her chin, "Little girl, didn't your family tell you that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry~~ sister won't lie to you , wait a little longer~~"

Some people began to gather around the silent coast one after another. These people were all covered with a veil, as if they were afraid of being recognized by others.The two men beside Liao Ji were also covered with veils, only Changli came from out of town and had no scruples, Liao Ji seemed to be used to it and didn't care about being recognized.

As if to confirm Liao Ji's words, suddenly a dark red cloud floated from the southeast, gradually covering the moon.Then, like a magic trick, the originally bright and bright sky began to be dyed red gradually, the red clouds drifted away, and the moonlight returned to the world.At this time, the moonlight was no longer bright, and it shone dimly on this sea area, and the bloody light made Changli suddenly feel like he was in a dream.

The waves rise suddenly, and the sea fog rises.

Changli had heard stories about mirages at Su Fangmu's place, but those were just legends. Now that he really saw it before his eyes, he felt an indescribable shock and familiarity.

When a bustling market that seemed to be in the world appeared in front of Changli, Changli's heart suddenly tightened.It's not because the feeling of familiarity is getting stronger and stronger. The only thought in her heart at the moment is that it's a pity that she can't enjoy such a magnificent and strange scene with Su Fangmu.

"Little girl, my sister didn't lie to you, right? What is in front of you is a ghost market." Liao Ji clasped her arms around her chest, and her tight attire made her figure exquisite.

Changli looked at the ghost market in front of her expectantly, and the excitement in her heart could not be calmed down. She tightly held the box of rouge made by Su Fangmu in her hand, and slowly burst into a smile.

"Okay, follow me quickly. There are thousands of rare and rare antiques in this ghost market, all of which you have never seen before." Liao Ji said, holding Changli's hand and leading her to the ghost market.

Jiaolong exhales, and the gates are listed.

The prosperity in the ghost market is very similar to the busy streets in the world, there are only two differences. One is that the stalls in the ghost market have an oil lamp.This kind of self-conscious thing will naturally have some people secretly greedy for cheap. In order to prevent this phenomenon, there is that oil lamp. Generally speaking, as long as someone takes something from the booth, the oil lamp will be extinguished. At this time, you need to The person who took the item consciously puts the equivalent item into the booth. If the oil lamp is on, it means that the item is equivalent. If the oil lamp does not light up for a long time, it means that some more items need to be placed to be equivalent.So here we often see strange situations like taking one bead and then replacing it with three boxes of gold grates.

Changli listened carefully to Liao Ji explaining the rules of the ghost market to her, and finally asked: "Then if the oil lamp is not lit, people will run away?"

Liao Ji smiled slyly when she heard the words, and pulled her to an open area facing the sea, pointing to the fog on the sea and said: "Did you see that fog? There are countless sea ghosts mixed in that fog. Those sea ghosts, every night They are all repenting for their original greed."

Greed is an evil crime that even the ghost world cannot tolerate.

"Okay, my sister will take you to see some rare things."

Changli was walking in the dim light reflected by the butter lamp, when suddenly a product caught her attention.

It was a jade box used to hold rouge. The quality of the jade was watery, with emerald green in it. It was the best jade.Its appearance is simple and simple, without complicated carvings and decorations. A phoenix feather is engraved on the box cover, giving it a natural charm.

Chang Li looked at it and couldn't move anymore, the phoenix feather seemed to re-hook the force in her body that was about to burst out when she came, she didn't know what it was, but suddenly The strange scenes in the movie reappeared, and something seemed to occupy the brain for an instant.

A flash of surprise flashed across the long and narrow phoenix eyes, and it turned into understanding in an instant, and then changed into a seemingly ignorant expression in the blink of an eye.Chang Li walked slowly to the booth, and stretched out his hand to touch the jade box.Unexpectedly, as soon as her finger touched the box, the oil lamp on the stall went out with a bang, and Chang Li immediately withdrew his hand in fright.

"This is! What's going on!" Chang Li yelled in horror.

According to what Liao Ji said, only after the items are taken away, the oil lamp will think that the transaction has started, and the lamp will be turned off.But I just touched it, why did the oil lamp go out? !

Seeing this, Liao Ji rolled her eyes and said, "Don't panic, this kind of situation also happens."

Chang Li was puzzled: "Then what should we do now? I don't take its things, why doesn't it light up!"

Liao Ji propped up her chin slightly with a soft whip, "It seems that now you can only exchange with the equivalent items on your body."

"Me, an item of equivalent value..." Chang Li looked and touched and touched his body, but he didn't think there could be any equivalent exchange, so he couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

Liao Ji glanced at her, seeming to point out: "This bow on your back..."

"No!" Chang Li clutched the sun-blocking bow, "This bow cannot be changed!" She still has a long way to go to steal the fairy grass.The road is dangerous, and it is absolutely necessary to cover the sun!

"Don't you like this jade box?" Liao Ji tilted her head, and the corner of her mouth showed a charming arc.

Changli heard the words and locked his eyes on the phoenix feather jade box again. This jade box is really beautiful, simple and elegant. Su Fangmu likes to make rouge so much, so he will definitely like this jade box... But, to cover the sun How can I exchange it...

Seeing Chang Li's hesitant expression, Liao Ji smiled suddenly, and stretched out her hand to hand over a soft whip, "You and I have met by fate, seeing that you like this jade box so much, then sister might as well sell favors and take this soft whip." Whip exchanged this jade box for you."

"Ah, how embarrassing." Changli waved his hands to refuse, but saw that Liao Ji had already put the soft whip on the booth beforehand, and then picked up the jade box and stuffed it in Changli's hand.

The oil lamp chimed and the transaction was completed.

Chang Li held the jade box tremblingly, not knowing whether it was anxiety or excitement. "Thank you, Sister Liaoji!"

The corner of Liao Ji's lips drew a sly arc in a charming air, "No need."

After Changli and his party left, the street was bustling and lively as usual.

No one saw that the soft whip on the booth slowly turned into a puddle of mud, and the oil lamp in the southwest shook, with a sound of "呵——", the light disappeared, and only a wisp of blue smoke drifted away. ...

"By the way, I still don't know your name, little sister?" Liao Ji Zhuangruo asked casually.

Chang Li smiled carelessly, "Sister, why do you want to know my name? Hehe~~"

"Little sister, you can't be unreasonable. My sister brought you to the ghost market, helped you find the way to Xiandao, and even gave you a meeting gift. Just asking for your name, won't you tell my sister?"

Changli nodded, thinking it made sense, "Well, let me tell you~~ My name is Changli~ I'm long and long, I'm leaving~~ Sister, do you remember?"

Liao Ji smiled and narrowed her slender eyes, "Chang, Li. Sister wrote it down~~"

When Changli heard her words, he suddenly burst into a bright smile, "Sister Liaoji, thank you very much today."

Liao Ji waved her hand, "You don't have to thank me~"

"How can I not thank you?" Changli's phoenix eyes suddenly glowed red, "Xiu, snake."

With a sound of "Shu La", Liao Ji stepped back three feet, and her expression suddenly became serious, "You, haven't you recovered yet?"

Changli looked at her with a smile, "You don't need to know about this." As the words fell, thick fog suddenly rose on the ground three feet away, and a giant snake with a green head and black body several feet long pulled itself out of the thick fog , stuck his head out and spit out the red letter at Changli.

Seeing this, Changli took the bow neatly, a ball of fire formed around his fingers and formed three long arrows with fire feathers, which were directed on the string, aiming at the snake repairing.

Although she was calm on the surface, her heart was as anxious as fried oil.She has already figured out the rules of this sudden memory and power, they are like tides, coming menacingly and unstoppably, but going away in a hurry, it is difficult to stay for a moment.

Xiu Ji lured her to violate the rules of the ghost market. Although it was part of her scheme, the owner of the ghost market is also difficult to deal with. Once he finds him later, it will definitely be another fight.The memory and power sealed up by Ling Guang can't last until that time, so we must make a quick decision at this moment!

Thinking of this, Chang Li stretched his arms and bowed like a full moon, and smiled sweetly at Xiuxiu standing in midair, "Sister Liao Ji, I will accept the love of the jade box."

Words fall, arrows come out.
