Da Mao rubbed his forehead and then told me, Master and I have been searching every day for a month, but still found nothing. Maybe it’s because we didn’t gain anything every day and we were locked up in that dilapidated house every day, which caused us to be very mentally affected. Master was getting more and more haggard day by day, but he never dared to attack others. In the last few days, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I took advantage of the door opening at night to take the man who took us to look for ghosts every day. We were arrested into the house and asked when they would release us. The other party's answer was that they would release us whenever they found us, unless we clearly told them that we were powerless and couldn't find it.

Da Mao said, before I could answer, the master said first, please tell our employer that we are not as skilled as others and can't do anything, and we will not do this. Ask him to approve and let us go home.

The more I listened, the more strange it became. In my mind, Wang Chengqian was not such a person. Since he has done this, it means that the employer behind him is really well-established. Not only does Wang Chengqian not dare to offend him, he is also a little afraid of him.

Da Mao said, so that night the master and the apprentice went to search as usual, but still could not find the woman wearing a green cheongsam. The man who guarded them that night also responded, and at the end of the month, he released the master and apprentice. And when he left, he was the same as when he came, covering his eyes with cloth strips. It wasn't until they were sent to the county seat that they were allowed to go home on their own.

It is not difficult to know from Damao’s dictation that this "Sanchuan Ghost Market" is not a place that many people know. At least Wang Chengqian and others were taken there blindfolded when they went there, which shows that the employer behind them actually does not want this place to be. The location is exposed or spread. Da Mao was troubled by this matter, not because his master and apprentice were incompetent and failed to complete the commission, but because he and Wang Chengqian both felt from the bottom of their hearts that something was wrong with this matter, but he could not tell what was wrong. .

Considering myself, I also sneered at it. Since I had never even heard of the existence of this place, I naturally couldn’t say anything about it, so I just comforted Da Mao and said, as long as you come back safely, you will be so thin. From this look, it seems that although I didn't lack anything during that month, I felt aggrieved. Da Mao said no? You have been in this industry for so many years. When have you ever seen someone use house arrest to ask for help? Is this asking for help or forcing someone?

Because of what I heard from Damao, he didn’t know exactly where that place was. He just knew that it was somewhere not far from Chengdu in the middle of Sichuan. However, on that distant plain, the area was so vast that it was really difficult to find it. So I asked Da Mao, if you are telling me these things today, do you just want to share them with me, or do you have other intentions?

Da Mao didn't speak, didn't even raise his head to look at me, he just hugged the wine glass with both hands and remained silent. It took a long time before he said to me, Brother Shankong, I don’t think this is right. If a person needs to find a ghost in such a secret, and in such a market that sells ghosts, plus We don’t know much about the other party’s background now. If we know it but don’t understand it clearly, we may be implicated in the future.

In fact, only he and Wang Chengqian were implicated. People like us who didn't know anything about it would not be affected at all. But judging from Da Mao's tone, he seemed to be telling me in a subtle way that he was not aware of this matter. I hope to find out clearly. If you are just looking for someone, there are many ways. Going to the sales market is not only not the best one, it is even the least likely one.

Da Mao said, "Look, anything that can be sold is more or less valuable. People can catch the low-priced goods themselves, so why bother to come here to buy and sell them?" It means that the female ghost in the green cheongsam must have a big role. In addition, there are bullet holes in her forehead, indicating that this person's death was a gunshot. It is difficult to escape this kind of ghost. If the employer behind it has some big purpose in looking for this ghost, then it may affect our entire society. industry.

This is correct. If I were the employer behind the scenes, if I had any dirty tricks, I would also like as few people to know about them. In this case, it can explain why I brought Da Mao and Wang Chengqian with me. When they go there, they have to be blindfolded, and they are locked in the house during the day and are not allowed to go out. And when they look for ghosts every night, they are accompanied by special people, in order to reduce the number of people around Wang Chengqian and Da Mao. The opportunity to interact with each other, plus the fact that both of them are locals, there are almost no people I know when they go to a foreign place, so being so cautious has to make people suspicious.

So I asked Da Mao, what do you want to do now? With you being such a little kid, can you still expose the things behind this? Da Mao said that even if I am a child, I still feel that I must do this, whether you are with me or not, I will do it.

Then I understood what he meant. He told me so many things because he sensed something was wrong and thought that if this matter continued to develop, it might affect the entire industry, so he wanted to take advantage of it before everything was settled. Before you conclude, find the answer first.

Frankly speaking, I feel a little itchy in my heart, because today is the first time I have heard of the name of Sanchuan Ghost Market. It gives me a feeling of mystery. If I have a chance to find this place, even if I don’t have Da Mao It is very possible that I pretended to be a businessman to find out what happened with Wang Chengqian. So I asked Da Mao, what is your master's opinion on this matter? Da Mao said that the master's attitude is to just let it go and not think about it, but he is also very worried about this matter. After all, although he and I have not found any results, But after all, we are the ones who are involved in it. From now on, this matter will develop in a positive direction. If it gets out of control, we, the master and the disciple, will inevitably be catastrophic.

So today Da Mao came to see me again. In fact, Wang Chengqian knew that he would tell me about this matter, but he didn't mention it, so Da Mao just pretended to be stupid. He thought it was Wang Chengqian who told me about this matter through Da Mao. . When I heard this, to be honest, I still admired Wang Chengqian for his wisdom and scheming. What he said was indeed right. Our younger generation of masters had been cut off due to the times, and the talents that emerged were indeed not many, and the quality varied. Not all, and there are indeed only a handful of people with good craftsmanship. And Da Mao and I are both masters of the younger generation. Although I have gained some fame due to previous things, maybe more people know me, but there are very few people who have seen me and know my appearance. I am the same as Da Mao , are all new faces. If we want to investigate this matter secretly, it is indeed better for us to come forward.

I was a little excited, but I wasn't that concerned about whether there was a conspiracy behind it. I just wanted to see what the so-called "Mikawa Ghost Market" was like. So I said to Da Mao, you have saved my life. I have regarded you as my little brother for many years. If you decide something, I will definitely support and help you.

I thought to myself that I had been resting for such a long time anyway, and if I continued playing, my skills might become rusty. Since Da Mao has sent out the invitation without saying anything, then I'll go and treat it as if I'm going to explore the secrets. They are all new faces. As long as I keep a low profile, I shouldn't cause any trouble. Even if someone does notice it, With the abilities of Da Mao and I, it shouldn't be difficult to escape. Besides, if Damao and Wang Chengqian are really unlucky to tell the truth, and the person behind the scenes is really using this as a conspiracy, then if we can destroy it, it will be considered a meritorious deed.

After taking these considerations into account, I agreed to Da Mao, saying that you can tell me in advance when you plan to leave. I have a few acquaintances in Chengdu who may be able to give you some clues.

So that night, under the influence of alcohol, Da Mao and I hastily decided on this matter. After that, Da Mao needed to sort out the things in his hands and ask the master before he could set off with me. When he was ready, we took enough money and necessary tools and set off for Chengdu, but It was already half a month later.

Since none of us knew where the "Sanchuan Ghost Market" was, we had to inquire first, so I told him that in the early years, several masters active in the Chengdu area used to go there because of introductions from their masters. I have come to visit my family, but we have lost touch with him over the years, but if we come to visit, maybe they will provide us with some information and help in the name of my late mentor. Of course, the premise is that they really know this place.

So after arriving in Chengdu, we randomly found a small hotel and settled down, and then I started looking for my master's old friends. I found several people, many of whom had heard about my previous work with Qin Bukong to break through the formation, and because I was the master, they were very polite, but most of them had never heard of it. There used to be a place like "Sanchuan Ghost Market". But a master told me that he had heard of such a place, but he didn’t know if it was called "Sanchuan Ghost Market". It was said that the place was very remote and almost uninhabited, and there were even rumors. Said that that place turned out to be the junction of the world of humans and ghosts, just like a free trade zone between countries. Without accurate guidance, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary living people to find this place.

I don't understand this. What does it mean that a living person is difficult to find?
