Hu Xiaoyue talked a lot. Seeing me sitting there with a noncommittal look, Xiaoyuan, the idiot, became impatient.
"Oh, my, Xiao Yueyue, why are you talking so much nonsense to him? Look at me!"
As it said, it flew directly in front of me, its two wings pinched my neck like human hands, shook it back and forth, and made a weird laugh.
"Wow! Wu boy, agree quickly. Otherwise, I will strangle you to death."
I:"……"
childish!
He stretched out his hand to pull the fat bird off its neck, held it in his arms and rubbed its head vigorously, while laughing.
"I didn't say I wouldn't agree. If you two are bored and want to open a company for fun, then go ahead. Anyway, apart from looking at Feng Shui, catching ghosts and eliminating demons is basically done at night, so Lao Bai is free. You can also go to the company and sit around. And if I have nothing to do at night, I will definitely go to help."
"Master, you are so kind!"
Hu Xiaoyue cheered and rushed into my arms.
I was so frightened that I quickly threw Xiao Yuan, who was being kneaded in my arms, out, and bumped into the rushing Hu Xiaoyue like a round white plush cannonball.
boom!
There was a muffled sound.
"Ouch!"
"Oh my god!"
One person and one bird cried out in pain at the same time and fell down on the carpet.
I thought it was a little funny, but I held it back.
Xiao Yuan cursed loudly, while Hu Xiaoyue wrinkled her delicate nose and snorted with dissatisfaction.
"The master has no mercy at all."
I picked up the cup and took a sip of tea silently, not wanting to answer the question.
Hu Xiaoyue angrily got up from the ground, put one hand on her hips and spread her hand towards me.
I was startled.
"What do you mean?"
"Master gives me money! There must be no capital investment in all aspects of starting a company."
"..."
I pursed my lips.
"After talking for a long time, you turned out to be asking me for money?"
Hu Xiaoyue felt confident.
"Of course! I am your slave. My whole body and soul belong to you completely. If I want to do something, of course I have to ask you for money?"
"No, no, no! What you say sounds a little weird."
I waved my hand, a little unable to resist.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I handed over a bank card.
"There is one million in it, is that enough? Anyway, just open a small company, similar to a studio. The start-up capital is not much."
Before Hu Xiaoyue stretched out her hand, a pair of claws came over from the side, grabbed the bank card and flew into the air.
Madoka's fat bird's voice sounded.
"Wow! With the remaining capital to start the company, can I buy a lot of fish so that Xiao Yueyue can make pickled fish for me? Make two pots at a time, eat one and pour out the other. Hey, it’s just arrogance.”
"Get out! You have to pay me back the remaining money."
This damn fat bird is really annoying.
…
It’s the 14th day of the lunar calendar in the third month after I came to Shanghai—this day is also the day when the ghost market in Shanghai opens!
In the first two months after arriving, I was busy with all kinds of trivial matters in life. Busy adapting to university campus life, busy buying and decorating a house, busy understanding the secrets of East China Show Stars and Ganghui Plaza...
It was finally the third month before I had time to visit the local ghost market in Shanghai!
Throughout China, there are currently nine well-known large-scale ghost markets - jointly operated and managed by the imperial court, major sects, and practicing families. It is a semi-official ghost market and very formal.
As for other small and medium-sized ghost markets, there are a lot of them, and they belong to the "black market" of ghost markets. Sometimes, practitioners would fight inside the market and make a mess.
Ordinary serious people will not go to this kind of "black market".
Eling Ghost Market in Chongqing City is one of the nine ghost markets.
In Shanghai, there is also one of the nine ghost markets - Guangfulin Ghost Market!
At this moment... I am driving to Guangfulin with Xiao Yuan, Hu Xiaoyue, and Bai Renxin.
As a native of Shanghai, Bai Renxin started to introduce the history of Guangfulin to us.
"Guangfulin is actually a Neolithic site, mainly distributed in the north of Fulin Village in the original Sheshan Town, the Shijiabang River and the open areas on both sides. In 1958, the villagers of Guangfulin Village While cleaning the river, some broken tiles and clay pots were found.”
"At first, everyone thought that the ruins of the Tang Dynasty or Han Dynasty were reported. After reporting it, archaeological experts discovered that it turned out to be the ruins of the end of the primitive era. It has a history of more than 4,300 years and is older than the legendary Xia Dynasty. The dynasty will be more than a thousand years early."
I see!
I nodded while listening, and I learned some new knowledge from Bai Renxin.
Of course, Madoka, a damn fat bird, also wanted to show off her knowledge, so she added an explanation on the side.
"What Xiao Baibai said is correct, but this is from the perspective of ordinary people. From the perspective of the supernatural practice world, Guangfulin has never been an abandoned ancient ruins. As far as I know, at least since Since the early Western Han Dynasty, the ruins of Guangfulin have been a place where practitioners from the Wuyue area conduct material transactions - which is the original prototype of the Guangfulin Ghost Market."
"Later in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Songjiang Prefecture, now part of Songjiang District, Shencheng, gradually prospered, and Guangfulin Ghost Market gradually became the largest ghost market in the south of the Yangtze River, famous far and wide. By the Republic of China, the Nine The status of one of the great ghost cities. To this day..."
"How about it? Is this Master Bird very knowledgeable? Come on, Mr. Wu, praise me."
Madoka pulled my arm hard with her wings.
"Hey, I'm driving! Pay attention to safety."
"No, praise me first!"
"Okay, okay, little Yuanniao, you are so awesome!"
I was casual and perfunctory.
"That's pretty much it."
The dead fat bird is content.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the gate of Guangfulin Country Park.
During the day, people come and go here, and it is a place where Shencheng citizens like to hang out.
At night, when everything is silent, it is the realm of supernatural practice!
As soon as I got off the car, I felt the faint mana aura and true energy fluctuations in a large radius. It was chaotic and noisy, obviously due to the large number of practitioners.
Unlike the closed gate of Eling Park, Guangfulin Country Park is open and does not have a real gate. So we walked on the wide main road, surrounded by dense forests, and there were also a lot of people there - obviously people who came to participate in tonight's ghost market.
Bai Renxin sighed very much.
"I have been a ghost for so many years. Although I have vaguely heard of the Guangfulin Ghost Market, I have never actually been here."
I said with a smile.
"Lao Bai, you are just a technical nerd and a scientific research nerd. You spend most of your time hiding in the basement of Shenfu University School of Medicine. How can you have time to hang out?"
Bai Renxin also smiled.
"Actually, that's not entirely the case. The main reason is that I belong to the category of ghosts and wild ghosts. I have no sect and no background. I have a dark eye on the world of paranormal practice and don't understand anything. I'm afraid of getting into trouble, so it's better to have less contact with it. Now that I have Brother Wu leading the way, it’s also a good thing to go out and walk around more.”
