Niubi patted his chest.
"Brother Wu, don't worry. No matter how poor I am, Lao Niu, I still have a six-digit savings!"
Yo?
Madoka came closer.
"Young man has a lot of money! I want to eat something good. When will I take you to the most expensive restaurant in the city for a meal?"
Niu Bi looked sad.
"Brother Yuan, how much did you win over my brother and me? And you even let us treat you."
"How stingy!"
Madoka dissatisfiedly poked Niubi's soft and fat belly with the tip of her wing, which was quite elastic.
We all laughed.
I stayed in the stilted building in Niubi throughout the day.
Let's drink tea together, chat, listen to him talk about some strange things in the Xuanmen Jianghu circle in Chongqing City, and discuss issues related to spiritual practice...
If he was hungry, he would just call and have a takeaway delivered directly from the core area of Ciqikou Ancient Town - Qianjiang chicken offal, which is very famous in Ciqikou.
Niu Bi said that he was very familiar with the owner of the most famous chicken grocery store here.
Strangely enough, Ciqikou Ancient Town is in the main city of Chongqing, but Qianjiang is in an area called "Qianjiang" which is very far away from the main city.
As a result, the food from this distant district and county has become a famous dish in the main city of Ciqikou Ancient Town!
The so-called "chicken offal" is the collective name for all the internal organs such as chicken gizzards, chicken intestines, chicken livers, chicken hearts, and chicken blood.
Choose the freshest chicken offal and stir-fry it with spicy and sour ingredients such as pickled sea pepper, pickled radish, onion, ginger, and garlic that are unique to Sichuan and Chongqing. Then stir-fry in hot vegetable oil over high heat to remove the peculiar smell of chicken offal.
Finally, it is cooked with red oil and served like a hot pot. Numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, crispy, tender...it will greatly increase your appetite!
It tasted so good that I ate six large bowls of rice!
He ate more than the three of them combined.
The two brothers Niu Bi and Niu Deheng were stunned. I can’t believe I can eat it so well!
"Brother Wu, you... are really good at eating! But you are not fat at all? I eat less than half of your food, but you are so fat."
Niu Bi lowered his head and looked at the meat on his belly - his Taoist robe was stretched out, making him look a little aggrieved.
I smiled and said nothing more.
To be honest, I could eat ten more bowls if I wanted to!
Practicing internal martial arts is a way of developing the potential of the physical body. The stronger you are, the more energy your muscles and bones need to replenish.
So the appetite is bigger!
It is said that those martial arts masters who have reached the peak of their inner martial arts can go without eating for ten and a half months, and can also eat half a cow in one meal.
Very amazing.
…
Late at night, midnight arrives.
We went out and walked to the parking lot at the entrance of Ciqikou Ancient Town. Niu Bi drove all the way towards Eling Park in Yuzhong.
Eling Park was actually originally a private residential garden.
1909, the first year of Xuantong in the late Qing Dynasty. A salt merchant and his son from Yunnan spent one hundred thousand taels of silver to build it. At that time, the name was still called [Yiyuan].
The entire Yiyuan is built on the mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it is the private domain of this wealthy family. It combines Chinese and Western styles, exquisite yet elegant.
The point is, because this is a mountain in the center of Chongqing City. Therefore, during the entire walk to the top of the mountain, you can always overlook the intersection of the two rivers in Chongqing, which is very shocking.
After liberation, Yiyuan was renamed Eling Park and was open to all citizens...
When we arrived at the entrance of the park, there was no one around.
Even a few street lights on a nearby stretch of road were broken, and the lights were in the dark. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or intentional.
After all, according to Niu Bi, the "imperial government" must know about the existence of ghost markets across the country!
In modern society, everything must be under the control of the court - individual practitioners may turn a blind eye even if they have not committed a heinous crime.
But if you go too far, you will definitely be doomed!
As for some large cultivation families and sects, they must be inextricably linked to the above. Many such powerful forces in the supernatural world have a place in the court...
Ghost market, of course!
I even heard that there is still a commission on the transaction volume in the ghost market.
Of course, these are all the gossip Niu Bi heard. Whether it was true or false, he couldn't tell.
I asked, looking at the closed and locked park gate in front of me - it was a very wide, high-speed iron gate.
"What rules?"
Niu Bi said with a smile.
"Brother Wu, there are no rules. As long as you can enter the park smoothly without damaging the park gate, and then walk to Liangjiang Pavilion."
Niu Deheng drifted toward the small side door on the right.
"Hey, look at me!"
He blew a plume of gray smoke toward the door lock.
Click.
A soft sound.
The door lock unlocked.
Niu Deheng pushed open the small iron door and bent down to make a "please" gesture in a funny way.
Niu Bi and I walked in with a smile.
Of course, Madoka flapped her wings and flew over the big iron gate, shouting triumphantly.
"You guys are really incompetent, trouble! Look at me, Lord Bird! I can do it easily with just a pair of wings."
I:"……"
I'm too lazy to talk to these idiots.
After entering the gate of Eling Park, there are two roads in front of you - both can reach the top of the mountain. According to Niubi’s suggestion, we chose the road up the mountain on the left.
Going up the mountain from the left side, you can have a panoramic view of the night view of Chongqing City.
This is the first time for me to overlook the city of Chongqing from such a high place. Sure enough, there are many tall buildings and thousands of lights, giving people a wonderful sense of alienation and magnificence.
After walking up the mountain for a while, there was no longer the silence when we entered. There were more people and there was some noise.
Well... to be precise, there are more than just "people".
There are also all kinds of things in the supernatural world that can be used for cultivation!
I saw a translucent ghost floating three feet above the ground.
I saw a corpse with stiff movements, and judging from its aura, it was at least at the level of a ferocious corpse.
I saw a toad as big as a millstone, jumping one after another. There are pythons thicker than adult thighs, crawling in a sinuous way. There are also light yellow foxes, gray wolves...and so on.
They are all heading up the mountain!
This is the first time I have seen such a scene where people, ghosts, corpses and demons are mixed together. His eyes suddenly widened and he looked around, very curious. He looked very ignorant.
Sure enough, Madoka, that stupid bird, folded its wings and landed on my shoulder, mocking me in a mean way.
"Boy Wu, you are just like a country bumpkin entering the city! Looking around, you really embarrass me."
I squinted at it.
"What? Have you been here before?"
Madoka stretched out her fat belly and said proudly.
"Hey! Although this is my first time to come to the Eling Ghost Market in Yucheng. But not to mention the small ghost markets in various places, the nine major ghost markets... such as the Erhai Ghost Market in Yunnan, and the ghost market in Shaanxi Qinling Ghost Market, Liangzhu Ghost Market in Zhejiang, Guangfulin Ghost Market in Shencheng, Imperial City Ghost Market in the Imperial Capital, Changbai Ghost Market in the Northeast, I have been to all of them! What, it’s very impressive, right? Wu Boy , why don’t you call me brother quickly?”
Before I could say anything, Niu Deheng next to me asked a little doubtfully.
"Brother Yuan, aren't all ghost markets accessible to those who have money? What's so great about them?"
Xiao Yuan was startled, and then she was so angry that she slapped Niu Deheng's belly with her wings.
"Let you talk more, let you talk more! If I say it's great, it will be great."
"Ouch, brother Yuan, stop fighting. My stomach hurts and I'm going to have diarrhea!"
"You're a ghost, what are you doing?"
Hahaha!
Niubi and I both laughed.
This stupid bird tried to show off but failed. Niu Deheng, who has always been shrewd, failed to cooperate well this time.
