Mangshan is no different from ordinary scenic spots during the day.
Even, this is an attraction.
Because there have been many tombs in Mang Mountain since ancient times, there are still many people burning paper to worship their ancestors on July 14th.
We followed the tourists and were wrapped in the crowd.
At the moment before nightfall, it seemed as if a cloud of mist fell from the top of the mountain, spread through the crowd, and landed among the mountains and forests.
The flow of people around suddenly became sparse.
Lao Pei stared at the fog on the mountain: "I was attracted to Mang Mountain by this fog, and then accidentally entered the ghost market."
"As long as we follow the fog, we should be able to enter the ghost market again."
I nodded and pulled the handbrake: "Get in the car!"
We chased the fog, the sky became darker and darker, and there were fewer and fewer people.
Finally, I drove my car into the fog.
At that moment, the quiet wilderness suddenly boiled.
I heard countless voices blasting in my ears, some were shouting, some were singing, and some were crying.
The sound goes from far to near.
In a moment of concentration, the fog dissipated.
My vision is clear and I can see everything in the distance clearly.
The forest disappeared and the steep mountain road disappeared. I remember that this place was originally a hanging valley and cliff.
At this moment, there is a smooth road ahead.
I wondered: "I seem to have seen this scene before!"
After taking a closer look at the big tree at the door, I remembered: "Is this the Fox Courtyard?"
Yiyang wondered, when he first went to Fox Mountain and met Fox Marriage, he was still deceiving a girl in her sixties: "I know about Fox Marriage, where is Fox Mountain?"
"To the east of Dashang City, there is a Fox Mountain. When I was a child, I often went up there. When I met the fox getting married, I went to the fox compound. The scene was basically the same as today!"
I am secretly wary of Mangshan Ghost City being worshiped by fox demons and ghosts. This shows the strength of Mangshan Ghost King.
Yiyang pulled my sleeve: "Be good, it's a mirage!"
"Brother Zai, you have to protect me!"
I pulled my sleeves back timidly: "You are an old man, if you learn to speak with clips, you will be struck by lightning!"
I saw a lot of people driving like us.
Sure enough, Mangshan Ghost Market is like a temple fair on earth, a great festival for exchanges between humans and ghosts.
I parked the car in the parking space, and a young ghost with a broken arm walked up to me: "Parking fee, one hundred yuan!"
I took out a piece of RMB, and the young ghost took a look at it and threw it on the ground: "This is your first time here, we use human money to trade here!"
One more thing is worse than one less thing. I took out another hundred-dollar bill and handed it to him: "You have money from this world, can you spend it in the underworld?"
"You can take care of it!"
Yiyang stepped forward and took out another hundred-dollar bill from my wallet: "We are not nosy. It is mainly our first time here and we are not familiar with the situation."
"Please, brother, please introduce me!"
The Broken Arm Ghost received the money, put it under his nose and took a sharp sniff. His intoxicated expression was indescribable: "It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk, but you, an old Taoist, understand the rules!"
"Of course it's useless for ghosts like us to want human money, but human money can buy human things!"
"How much is a hell coin worth? How many hell coins can one buy with one hundred yuan of human money? An experienced Taoist can understand!"
Yiyang took out a hundred-yuan bill from my bag: "I understand, of course I understand, but I still need to give you some advice!"
"Come on, let me tell you. This gate is called Ximen. Entering from this gate is the West City. The Ghost City is divided into East and West!"
"The Ghost King has a rule. The West Market is mostly populated by ghosts, while the East Market is populated mostly by humans. If you want to buy things for humans, you'd better go to the East Market."
"In the ghost market, it's best to wear a mask, mainly to prevent enemies from fighting when they meet!"
"However, with the Ghost King here, fighting is not allowed in the ghost market. However, it is better to be careful. After all, after leaving the ghost market, our Mang Mountain is full of places to bury people!"
Yiyang nodded: "Thank you so much, little brother!"
He took out two more and handed them over: "I wonder if there will be a chance to meet His Highness the Ghost King today."
"To tell you the truth, I have always respected His Highness the Ghost King very much!"
The Broken Arm Ghost shook his head: "Who knows, but in the past, big names came to the ghost market. If the bell on Central Street rang three times, the ghost king might come out!"
Yiyang clasped his fists: "Thank you so much, little brother!"
I followed him, and it turned out that taking him with me was the best decision I made, if he hadn't been an old fox.
If it had been either Dongyue or Shi Feiying, we wouldn't have been able to obtain this information so easily.
Entering the gate of Mangshan, I saw some familiar faces.
My memory is not very good, but since I entered Yin Yang Road, I rarely forget some people and things.
"Hello, Mr. Hao!"
I said hello to the owner of the paper-making shop. Regarding the Menggui Building, I bought a lot of paper money from his shop, so I was considered a big customer: "Hello, Boss Zhang, are you here on business?"
"It's not a big deal. Our Xiajiumen has something to do with Mangshan."
"Then you are also a big deal. I think the one-armed ghost just gave you the money he got from me!"
"Hey, isn't this all business! I collect money and give them money!"
Boss Zhang was driving a Wuling sacred car, and I vaguely saw a car full of paper money through the car window: "They are all helpless wandering souls, unlike domestic ghosts who have people worshiping them!"
"If you miss the gate of hell, you will not be able to enter the underworld again, and there will be no chance of reincarnation!"
"These hopeless ghosts can only linger in the ghost town." Boss Zhang looked up at me.
"It's only because Mr. Coffin created this method of worship with his kindness that his life was not so miserable!"
Boss Zhang squatted on the ground and lit a yellow talisman in his hand.
The yellow paper fell on the paper money, and he threw the yellow paper in his hand into the circle, sending up black smoke along with the blue fire.
The one-armed ghost next to him had a stack of ghost coins in his hand: "Fresh ones are the best!"
Unexpectedly, the economic crisis has already reached the underworld.
I stared at the rows of people outside the gate of Mangshan Ghost Town. They should all be the owners of the Yangjian Paper Making Shop.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Coffin, who looks fierce on the outside, is actually a kind person on the inside.
The gate is guarded by officers and soldiers.
The rules of Mangshan Ghost Town require one hundred human dollars to enter.
I saw that the clothes of the ghost soldier at the door were no different from my original clothes, but they were tattered and lacked the power of the rules of the underworld.
The ghost soldiers here should have been a group of sergeants when they were alive.
The city suddenly became clear.
Through the door, I seemed to have entered another world.
The buildings in the city are all in ancient style, but they are different ancient styles.
I have been to many ancient scenic spots and found that the buildings here are different, and many of them are mausoleum buildings.
Weird and strange, but it gives people a sense of novelty.
On the road, there were strangers and ghosts with fangs coming and going.
A herd of cows passed by me. I thought this herd of cows belonged to someone, but unexpectedly the herd stopped in front of the stall and asked, "How much does your cowhide cost?"
The hawker waved the cowhide in his hand and said, "Your eyes are right, this is the best yak hide!"
"No, it's yellow cowhide!"
“I’m a cowhide seller and I can also sell you fake cowhide!”
"This is my skin!"
I avoided embarrassment and walked past.
