Based on my understanding of Da Mao and my professional instinct, I knew that Da Mao’s action was because he saw something that caused him to deliberately avoid it. Da Mao himself is a master of the Sky Eye. Although I know that there are all kinds of ghosts here, Da Mao himself is not afraid of ghosts. These ghosts are also controlled by those who sell them, and they will not cause trouble casually.

So I pretended to look forward casually, but I saw on the long street about thirty meters away from us, the guy who was guarding the door during the day was walking on the road with a little girl with a ponytail. . The little girl looked about eighteen or nineteen years old. She looked very haggard, but her expression was a little dull, even a little silly. The clothes she wore were also very vulgar. Even in our era, the way she dressed looked similar to that of an ordinary village girl, except that she had a oval face and big eyes. She was sometimes scared, sometimes giggled, and had a normal expression. At that time, she looked like a girl with not ugly features.

The man stood behind the little girl, reaching out to touch the little girl's shoulders from time to time. It seemed that he was using this action to make the little girl move forward instead of lingering at a stall. There is no doubt that if this little girl is not also a Master of Heavenly Eyes, then she is a person with a special constitution and yin and yang eyes. Because from her dazed eyes, it can be seen that although she seems to be browsing the street stalls, her eyes are always looking behind the vendors. This is probably the same as when Damao and Wang Chengqian came here. , the observation was exactly the same.

This explains two things. First, the mysterious person behind the Sanchuan Ghost Market is searching on a large scale for masters with this type of celestial eye or yin and yang eye to help find them. Damao and Wang Chengqian failed to find them, so they replaced them with one. Call someone, but this girl doesn't know which call she is on. Second, since she is still searching, it means that the purpose of the mysterious man behind the scenes has not been achieved, and the female ghost in the green cheongsam has not yet appeared.

We took a few steps closer. At this moment, I didn't have the extra experience to worry about Da Mao's secretive expression, but continued to observe the little girl carefully. Although there was only the light from the surrounding lanterns at this moment, I could still see the little girl's expression clearly. Although for a little girl of this age, if she sees something that scares her, she will naturally feel fear and flinch. This is normal. Her fear shows that she does not often see scary things. Not to mention the entire market is filled with ghosts. But what puzzled me was that she would occasionally show that innocent smile, which seemed a little silly. If a person was under house arrest during the day and was taken out to witness all this every night, he would definitely be like Da Mao. It's the same as Wang Chengqian felt at the beginning. He will be tired, collapsed, depressed, and definitely not happy.

Just when I was puzzled, the little girl suddenly turned around, faced the person following her, stretched out the palm of her right hand, and kept stomping and jumping under her feet, as if she was asking for something. But the expressionless man behind shook his head, stretched out his hand and pushed the little girl's shoulder, which probably meant asking her to move forward, but the little girl refused and began to pester the man like a rogue. , she said some words in her mouth, but because of the distance, we couldn't hear her clearly, and she still refused after being pushed, and still stretched out her hand, which seemed to be saying: You give me I! If you don't give it to me, I won't leave!

I'm very curious. Could it be that the mysterious person behind the scenes didn't negotiate a good price when he found these people with special abilities? And you only need to pay once for how many steps you need to walk? Judging from this person's mystery and his ability to control this ghost market, it seems that he would not commit such a fool's errand. So I continued to pretend to go shopping, but I still looked at the man and the little girl from the corner of my eye from time to time.

The man seemed unable to defeat the other party, so he shook his head helplessly, then reached into his arms and pulled out a small colorful ball. I know that thing. It was a kind of small candy that was very popular in those years. In fact, it is ordinary sucrose made into a round shape, and then some food coloring is added to make it colorful, and it looks very delicious. The little girl stretched out her hand to take the candy from the other person's hand, and then stuffed it into her mouth. The bright smile on her face was as if she had eaten extremely delicious food, and she was smiling extremely happily.

So this makes me even more puzzled. Why is it that the reward for inviting this little girl to find ghosts is not money, but candy? But the little girl’s innocent smile seemed to have long forgotten that about ten seconds ago, she was frightened by the ghost on the roadside. I believe there are many naturally optimistic people in this world, but this girl seems to be too. Are you being too arrogant?

I saw the little girl jumping up and down as she continued shopping. The expression on her face was also unstable. Sometimes she was scared, sometimes happy, and sometimes excited about seeing new things. And she didn't forget to eat the candy in her mouth. After that, he turned around and asked the man for it.

Gradually we got closer and closer to each other. After observing this cycle several times, I felt that this little girl was not a celestial eye master, because she felt that she had not learned these things. At least people who had learned these things should have normal intelligence. Yes, she has clearly made me feel that her intelligence is somewhat flawed. Among this group of seemingly crazy fools, because they often talk crazy nonsense, basically the people who hear her will not take her seriously, even if she is telling the truth. So I thought this person should have yin and yang eyes, and I had told many people that I could see many demons and monsters, but the people around me didn't believe it, but this mysterious man behind the scenes found out, so he captured her. Come and find ghosts for yourself.

This inevitably gave me another piece of information, that is, this mysterious man behind the scenes actually felt a little desperate. Maybe all the regular masters that could be found before had been searched, but no one could find the one he wanted. The female ghost in green cheongsam could not find another master to replace her, so she grabbed a silly girl with yin and yang eyes.

I am very confident in my own judgment and observation, so I dare to say that if not all my speculations are correct, they are at least 80% correct. I secretly thought that this guy was too stingy. He didn't even give me a penny and just gave him candy. But if money and candy were placed in front of this girl, she would probably choose candy.

So I secretly paid attention, even when I passed by that girl and that man, I would look back from time to time to observe each other, because this silly girl would not lie. If she found this female ghost, I would It should be noticeable.

The whole market was quiet, except for the occasional distant voice of the silly girl asking for candy. The vendors who set up stalls on both sides of the road would all stare at the long street in the middle, but wherever I looked, none of these people were looking at our faces. This means that those who sell ghosts only judge whether someone is approaching their vendors based on the feet of pedestrians on the long street. Before that, they did not look at our appearance.

When the man and the silly girl passed us by about ten meters, I found a street vendor on the roadside. It was Jiama Dan who we had mistakenly entered the house during the day. Jiama Tan, like everyone around him, was looking at the ground on the long street, so when Damao and I approached, he only knew that a guest was coming, but he didn't find out who the other person was. So I took Da Mao to Jiama Tan's stall. It wasn't until he stood still that he looked up at us. Seeing that it was us, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, which seemed to be saying, it's you two kids, don't make trouble and leave quickly.

But I didn't leave. Isn't it just business when he opens the door? Then can I just buy it? So I ignored Jiama Dan. According to the rules of this ghost market, no one spoke to each other. I took a closer look at the small bamboo signs on the stall in front of him. There were three rows up and down, and there were about a dozen signs. This means that when Da Mao and I broke into his house, Da Mao was surrounded by ghosts, probably more than a dozen of them. Fortunately, no violence was used at that time. Otherwise, if more than ten people attacked me together, I would have really had no chance of winning.

I looked carefully at the sign in front of him. Among them were accidental deaths, drownings, suicides, and shooting of people who took poison. These are actually relatively common ways of death, but it is not difficult to observe that the sign in his hand, Except for those who commit suicide if they are willing to die, others are those who are unwilling to die. In other words, this kind of ghost will have relatively heavy resentment, and regardless of whether it is good or evil, right or wrong, just from the perspective of its own attributes. , the size of a ghost's resentment is just like the size of a living person's righteousness. The greater the resentment of a ghost, the higher the price it is estimated to be able to sell, because the size of its own resentment determines its strength. Since they all come to this place to buy and sell Ghost, there is no reason to point to the weak one and buy it.

Not to mention those who commit suicide. After death, seven days are used as a cycle unit, and the pain of death is repeated every seven days, because suicide is basically the same crime as murder, and the person who commits suicide has no chance to leave on his own, because Punishment is required, so if there is no suitable price, the masters will not be willing to save the suicidal person, and the karma will be relatively greater. Judging from the previous meeting, Jiama Dan is fully capable of transcending the souls of those who committed suicide. As for why he stayed until now, he didn’t say it, and I don’t know.

I thought to myself, since I want to buy it, I’ll buy Pai Wang. Among the more than ten cards, the most powerful one was undoubtedly the man who committed suicide, so I pointed to the card and then looked at Jiama Dan. Jiama Dan was a little surprised, smiled slightly, and made a "9" gesture to me.
