The world is restarting

Chapter 175 Ghost Banquet

At the end of the long street, the demonic aura gathered by the Hundred Ghosts at Night Walk is like a moving storm, powerful and powerful, moving the heavens with its sound.

Across a world of underworld, human beings who were still in the world of yang consciously avoided that location as they sensed the danger, not to mention the other little monsters.A hundred ghosts pass by, and people and ghosts evade changes.

Foxnosuke, the unlucky fox, probably ran into this big scene head-on a few minutes ago. He was so frightened that he ran back and shook his head for 3 minutes, but he refused to suck his head in the arms of the little loli.

Sawada Ya rubbed the fox's fur with one hand, while looking towards the other side of the street for a while.She was used to dealing with monsters, and when she bumped into so many ghosts, she didn't feel too scared for the first time, but a little novel.

"Raiko, do you want to go over and say hello?"

Minamoto Raimiko stopped at the same spot and was looking in that direction, his side face was outlined sharply and handsomely by the lights.

The center of the evil spirit cast a gaze loosely, which happened to meet his gaze in mid-air.

After a while, he slightly hooked his lips.

"No, see you soon."

The group of ghosts did not attack the humans at the celebration, but instead seemed to be passing by, wandering around the city as if visiting a tourist attraction, and then left.

Sawada and Ya didn't stay in the city for long. Minamoto Raimitsu drove out of the city in an ox cart, it was still early, and there was still more than an hour before the ghost feast. He thought for a while and asked Lori behind him, "Would you like to go?" Have a look at the ghost city?"

"Ghost city?"

"As the name suggests, it is a market place for ghosts and otherworldly things."

Minamoto Raimitsu flicked his whip casually, and the black bull pulling the cart obediently turned to another trail at the intersection ahead.

"Like human beings, ghosts will also have a market during festivals, where they sell weird things, things that are lost and never found, old things, stolen things... The market is located in the underworld, there are You can come across something interesting every now and then, how about it, do you want to see it?"

Sawada Ya thought about it, it was still early anyway.

"Go."

"It's just right, then there is no need to make a detour, it is just ahead."

Sawada Ya: "?"

I feel like you just don't want to take a detour?

Little Lolita looked at the people outside the car in a daze.

The oxcart walked a little further, and you could see a dilapidated wall in the distance, and there were a few Xiyan flowers that were about to bloom around the wall.The firelight from inside the wall reflects the flowers with drooping eyebrows, which has a hazy and desolate beauty.

The bullock cart was parked outside the fence, Minamoto Laiguang helped little Loli out of the cart and walked inside, Foxnosuke followed obediently.

It may have been a temple in the past, covering a very large area, and it probably had a time when the incense was at its peak, but now the Buddha statues in the temple are dilapidated, and the believers have disappeared, leaving only broken walls and walls in the wilderness to mourn the past. brilliant.

Now this place has been occupied by wild ghosts from outside. Straw mats have been thrown from the entrance path to the open space in front of the temple. The stall owner sits on the mat with the things he sells in front of him.

People in the market crowded shoulder to shoulder, and lights were burning everywhere. If you don't know that this is a ghost market, people who stray into this place will probably find it quite lively.

Sawada Ya took Minamoto Raimiko's hand and walked around. I don't know who organized this ghost market, but it was quite orderly.The stalls selling things are divided into different areas. For example, the street she is shopping now is full of jewelry, while the smell of food can be heard from afar on the other street across the end wall.

Sawada Ya glanced over there, and asked blankly, "Laikou, are there humans in the ghost city?"

Minamoto Raimitsu was picking up a silver hairpin from the stall in front of him with interest, "Normally, there are none, and ordinary people can't get in."

But she felt that there was an aura over there that didn't look like a dead person...

She nodded with a vague understanding, and didn't pursue it further, but turned her gaze back to the people around her.The black-haired boy had finished looking at the hairpin and started to negotiate the price with the stall owner.

"Raiko, you seem to know this place very well."

It looks like you come here often.

"Didn't I say it, because sometimes there are some interesting things here." Minamoto Laiguang smiled at her, took out a few paper money from his arms and handed them to the stall owner, "I entered by mistake once before, go back Then I asked a familiar onmyoji how to get in here."

This is actually not an operation that normal people would do. After all, entering a ghost market by mistake is actually a very dangerous thing. If the ghosts who are set up in the stall find out that "there is a traitor among us", it will be a big trouble.

When Minamoto Raimiko strayed into the ghost market for the first time, he was discovered by ghosts. It was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and he was attacked by a group of ghosts... Then he happily drew his sword and chopped off all the ghosts in the entire market.

After this kind of thing happened a few times, I don’t know if his bad name spread like wildfire among the ghosts, and then he went to the ghost market, but he was never found to be a living person again—because the ghost market The ghosts either ran away when they saw him, or pretended to be blind when they found him.

For example, in this market now, I don’t know if it’s because of the ghost banquet, most of the ghosts who like to wander around and watch the excitement gather here. Minamoto Raimitsu glanced over and found several "acquaintances".

The "acquaintances" naturally also saw him, but everyone turned their heads tacitly, silently moved away from the position where the killer star was, and tried their best to pretend that nothing happened.

Minamoto Raimitsu smiled, and didn't bother to step forward to reminisce with his "old friends". He was a rare and quiet handsome man, and he lowered his head and handed the silver hairpin in front of the people around him.

"Give you."

"Huh? Buy it for me?"

The silver-haired little girl looked up suspiciously, and the light under the tree reflected in her beautiful light-colored pupils.

"Genji's family motto, when you go out to the market with girls, you must buy some gifts for them."

Minamoto Raimitsu raised his hand, inserted the silver hairpin on the little loli's hair, and adjusted the position casually, as if he had done it thousands of times.

Sawada Ya: "..."

...Does your family really have this family motto?

"...Raiko."

"Ok?"

"...You are so skilled."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Minamoto Laiguang's eyes wandered, but he hadn't done anything, except that he would occasionally treat the young girls to have a drink...

After seeing too much darkness and ugliness outside, sometimes I want to see something nice to wash my eyes.

Of course, you can't say anything about Younv in front of Ji Jun.

So Minamoto Raimitsu changed the subject calmly, "Speaking of which, Mr. Fujiwara Kane also entered the ghost market by mistake before."

"what?"

"At the Ahwawa intersection in the capital, it is the junction of Erjo Continent and Dongomiya Road."

Seeing that Little Lolita was distracted, he continued to use his boss as a raft without hesitation, "When Tian Yishen passes the intersection, if ordinary people pass by at that time, they will go into the underworld by mistake. World, Kane-sama broke into the ghost market for this reason."

Kane Fujiwara is really a courageous person, and he also likes to join in the fun. Ordinary people would hide away when they saw a strange night market appearing in a ruined temple in the middle of the night, but he insisted on visiting it.

"At that time, Master Jianjia ate a bowl of noodles in the ghost market, and met a servant who was driven out of the mansion by him because he stole an ornament from his house. But the servant died shortly after being driven out of the mansion. I happened to meet Mr. Jianjia in the ghost market, and even recognized him, causing all the ghosts in the market to find that there was a living person, and Mr. Jianjia managed to escape."

It's just that after returning to Yangshi, Fujiwara Kane's family was followed by the servant and the owner of the noodle stall because he forgot to pay in a hurry.

The money used by ghosts is naturally different from the property of the yang world, so he can't pay even if he remembers.In the end, he went to Abe Seimei's house and asked the Great Onmyoji to help solve this matter.

Fujiwara Kane is also a well-known figure in later generations, but the reason why Sawada Ya is familiar with him is because he always encounters something every once in a while and ask Seimei to solve it, and then the Shikigami or other people in the family will use it Tell her these things as stories, almost like the protagonist of her bedtime story.

"So did that servant really steal the accessories from Mr. Kane's house?"

"Master Kanjia didn't wrong him in this matter. He did steal it. But the rules of ghosts are different from humans. There is no such thing as the original owner. Whether it is stolen or a gun, it is yours if you get it. Even if the original owner The owner has to pay if he finds it, or kill the ghost and take it back."

Sawada Ya nodded with a vague understanding, and at this moment, a soft voice suddenly came from behind her.

"This Ji Jun, can I have a look at the silver hairpin on your head?"

Sawada Ya and Minamoto Raimitsu turned their heads at the same time, and saw a strange woman behind them at some point.

She covered her face with a large city girl's hat, and she was dressed in a white Tang dress. Her figure was slender, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.But what didn't match her weak temperament was that behind her was a group of strange-looking monsters, all of whom were full of blood and evil spirits.

Minamoto Raimitsu raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but lazily held down the hilt of the sword at his waist and cast his eyes on the little loli next to him.

Sawada Ya thought about it, took off the silver hairpin and handed it to her.

"Thank you."

The woman bowed politely to thank her, then held the silver hairpin in her hand and looked at it for a moment, then murmured softly from under the brim of her hat.

"This is indeed mine... May I ask what I have to pay to buy it back?"

The man was clearly a man of manners.

Sawada Ya looked up at Minamoto Yorimitsu.

The young man raised the corner of his lips lazily, "If it is given to you, it is yours. It doesn't matter how you deal with it."

"Hmm..." Little Loli looked at him, and then at the woman in front of her who was quietly waiting for an answer, "Is this something important?"

"Yes, this is the relic of my deceased mother. It was stolen by a ghost because of my carelessness. It is very important to me. No matter what request Ji Jun asks, I will work hard to fulfill it for you."

"That's it."

Sawada Ya blinked her eyes, then turned her head and looked around, and finally raised her finger to the wall crawling with Xiyanhua not far away.

"Can you pick a flower for me?"

The woman nodded slightly in surprise, lifted the hem of her skirt, went to the wall to pick off a branch of Xi Yan Hua, and walked back to hand the flower branch to her.

The little loli put the flowers back into her hair, her eyebrows and eyes curved, and a smile appeared on her pretty face, "Okay, the deal is concluded, and the hairpin is for you."

The woman seemed to be stunned, "...is that all right?"

"That's all."

Sawada Ya waved at her briskly, took Minamoto Raimitsu's clothes to say goodbye and left.

After that, the two wandered around the ghost market again.

Just like Minamoto Raikou said, there are indeed some interesting things in the ghost market, such as old books, dusty vases, and many things that look shabby but are actually antiques. People with good eyesight will probably gain a lot if they come here for a walk.

Of course, the "interesting" in Minamoto's mouth is of course not these valuables that were stolen by ghosts, but various...cursed props.

A vase containing the blood of the dead, a comb that killed several owners, and a cursed doll full of needle holes... Every time he saw something, he wanted to shake the ghost out of it curiously, bye Thanks to him, Sawada Ya saw many strange-looking ghosts along the way.

Sawada Ya: It's like visiting a zoo.

In the process of "visiting the zoo", they accidentally ran into an acquaintance.

It's not an "old friend" whom Minamoto Raimiko said he would greet with a sword when meeting each other, but someone he really knows.

"Master Fujiwara Hidego?"

At that time, the little Lolita was holding a windmill with ghosts that would turn on its own as an automatic electric fan while following Yuan Laiguang. Suddenly, she felt a strong anger in front of her. When she looked up subconsciously, she saw a A tall and straight old man dressed in dark colors was standing in front of the stall, his unlucky stall owner was so frightened by his calm aura, he huddled in a corner of the straw mat aggrievedly, even saying "here is a living person" Didn't dare to shout.

Although Minamoto Raimitsu couldn't directly distinguish the soul's aura like her, he was extremely sensitive to murderous aura, and felt that he was not much later than her.

He subconsciously said hello, causing the other party to notice the movement and look at them.

"Huh? The boy from the Gen family?"

Omote Fujita, the old man whose real name is Fujiwara Hidego turned his head casually.First he saw Minamoto Raimitsu not far away, and then he caught sight of the silver-haired little girl standing beside him.

He raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, "Are you... eloped with Ji Jun from Abe Seimei's family?"

Fujiwara Hidego nodded slightly, appreciating, "You have courage, you deserve to be a Genji."

Minamoto Raimiko: "..."

Fox's help: "..."

Sawada Ya: "..."
