The old man frowned in surprise, looked at me quietly for a long time, and then hesitated and said, "Young man, do you recognize the old man?" But the old man is far away from his neighbors, and he has no memory of you, you ...... Are you in the wrong place? "Anyway, the old man stood at the door, and he didn't say that he would let me in, nor did he say that he wouldn't let me in, so he was in a stalemate with me. But the more he was like that, the more I wanted to go in and have a look.

Maybe I'm in too much of a hurry now, but wherever there is the slightest sign of it, I have to find out. Moreover, this may also be my last chance to rescue Li Sanwazi. I really don't know how bad things will be when I miss the hour and wait until dawn outside. But no matter what, by that time, it was already too late, and even if I went to invite the master, I am afraid that there would be no way to recover.

After thinking for a moment, I hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old man, you misunderstood, I am looking for you, not because we know each other, but because ...... It's that I've walked so much that I'm really tired and thirsty. So, so I want to come to the old man's home and ask for a cup of tea to drink, I don't know if the old man can make it convenient? As I spoke, I pretended to be uncomfortable and looked at the old man expectantly.

The old man hesitated, and after a long while, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, anyway, my home is clean enough, and I live here alone, and you can accompany me to talk for a while when you come to my house." Well, young man, please sit inside, have a sip of tea, and rest your feet. The old man said, taking two steps back slowly, making way for me in a narrow aisle.

I was not polite, and immediately walked into the courtyard, and at this moment, the old man suddenly closed the gate. I was stunned, but when I saw that the old man didn't say anything, I walked slowly in the direction of the hall with a cane. I followed behind the old man, and glanced around, and in this courtyard, it was really quiet enough, almost dead silence. There was nothing but a dry well in the courtyard, not even a tree, not a single flower.

Think about it, this is a ghost market, not a yang world, and everything here is just an environment that the ghosts that live here and conjure up according to their own obsessions. Maybe it's a kind of support for the yang world, or maybe it's because I don't want to give up my inner attachment. In the hall, it is even more simple and simple, however, this house is high-spirited, typical of the ancient house style of the Republic of China, just crossed the threshold, is to see the open space facing the middle hall, there is a large round table.

It's just that after entering, I feel a little depressed, as if the taller and more empty the mansion, the more people feel deeply enveloped by some kind of aura. In particular, the houses on both sides of the hall were so dark that it seemed that no light could shine into them. Just when I was in a little daze, the old man suddenly said, "Young man, please use tea." Hearing this, I suddenly turned my head and took a cup of tea with an apologetic smile.

After a pause, I put the tea on the table again and asked casually, "Old man, don't you have any guests at home?" Don't you feel lonely alone? Hearing this, the old man smiled and nodded, but said nothing. I glanced around a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but sigh, "The yin pole gives birth to yang and yang turns to yin, the reincarnation of heaven is endless, Huangquan has its own human affection, and human affection can't affect the heart......"

"Huh! It's a pity that this poem by the young man is okay to the lonely souls on the Huangquan Road, but if it is said to the ghosts in the ghost market in this three-way place, I'm afraid it's also in vain......" The old man poured himself a sip of tea, and then said: "I won't tell you, most of the ghosts who can come to this place are unwilling to step into the sea of reincarnation and suffering, but they can't get rid of it, so they can only hide in a corner and find a quiet." Maybe this is an evasion, but between life and death, there are too many reluctances, and there are too many attachments, which cannot be left behind, let alone want to be left behind. The old man said this, young man, do you understand? ”

I smiled bitterly and nodded: "I understand what the old man means, although this place is a place where the three worlds of heaven, earth and man do not interfere, but is this place a corner of purity?" And what I saw was that the ghost market was full of all kinds of greed, hatred, and stupidity, endlessly, and those ghosts seemed to have fallen into the depths, indulging in this ghost market that seemed to be enjoyable, but in fact it was boundless suffering. Gradual greed, gradual depravity, speaking of which, this place does not seem to be hell, but what is the difference between suffering and hell? ”

Hearing my words, the old man suddenly opened his mouth, and he didn't answer for a long time. He hesitated for a long time, and said with a slight sigh: "It's been a long time since I've heard people say these good words that wake people up, this kind of place, except for being able to hear all kinds of endless sounds of greed, you can't hear anything, what kind of enlightening Fa sound can only be heard in the two realms of heaven and heaven, in fact, there are also many ghosts who want to be reincarnated as human beings, want to seek the blessings of heaven and man, and everyone understands in their hearts that the real happiness is to enjoy the blessings of heaven." But, but as you said, young man, the three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance have penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and everyone is greedy for everything here on the one hand, and on the other hand, they want to live a better life without any troubles. Hehe, maybe this is a kind of luxury......"

I didn't expect this old man to be a reasonable person, oh no, he is a ghost who understands things, and he can understand it as soon as he says it. I hurriedly said, "Actually, old man, you can leave ...... at all."

"No!"

I didn't wait for my words to finish, but the old man suddenly raised his hand and stopped me from going on. I frowned, looked at the old man's complicated expression in a daze, and after a while, the old man sighed deeply: "Young man, you won't understand, the old man is used to everything here, and it is impossible to leave here again." There is no such blessing as a human being unless...... Unless...... Alas, that's it, don't talk about that, young man, you, you go......"

"Unless what?" I asked with some excitement. But the old man obviously didn't want to say any more, but he directly ordered me to leave. I thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but say again: "The old man is completely different from what I expected at first, and after some chatting, I can feel that the old man is not a big evil ghost, and you have a deep good thought, but you don't want to show the good side, but bury it deep in your heart." I ......"

"Don't talk about it, young man!"

The old man interrupted me again, and slowly stood up, and said with a serious face: "You better leave quickly, if it's too late, you, you will regret it!" In the last few words, the old man's voice was obviously a little heavier, and the tone was very unkind, as if if I didn't leave, he would drive me out. I stood up in astonishment, I really couldn't figure out what kind of strange temper this old man was, how could he be so unpredictable like other ghosts?

The conversation was good before, and I had almost slowly led this old man to the path of goodness, but before he succeeded in guiding him to goodness, this old man changed his face in an instant, and he didn't want to talk to me anymore. I glanced down at the tea on the table, and then said in a deep voice, "Old man, you already knew that I didn't come here to drink tea, did you?" "I only drank the tea, and in this case the old man drove me away, and it is evident that he should have known early in the morning that I was not coming for it.

Since he knows, but he accompanies me to act, what about ...... So what's going on? Could it be ...... I glanced suspiciously to the left and right, but I felt a cold breath blowing in my face. Just as I was hesitating, the old man suddenly grabbed me by the arm, pushed me out of the hall, and said loudly, "Hurry up!" Get out of my house! ”

I staggered into the courtyard, and wanted to say something more, but at this moment I was silent, for I could clearly see that behind the old man, in the houses on both sides, and even on the beams, five or six evil things rushed out at once. Some of them look like middle-aged men, and some look like young people, all of them are five big and three rough, and they are extremely fierce! Seeing this scene, I instantly understood the old man's intentions, he drove me out, it turned out that he didn't want me to be in trouble!

It seemed that what I said to the old man had aroused good thoughts in his heart, so he could not bear to watch me fall into the trap step by step, so he ...... Now that I understand everything, the guidance of fighting ghosts, coupled with the strangeness of this mansion, and the ulterior motives of the old man, and these five or six fierce ghosts, I think I must have found the right place this time.

Li Sanwazi's soul must be hidden here, and after escaping from the old ghost, it is most likely that these ghosts and demons brought Li Sanwazi's soul here. Thinking of this, I shouted angrily: "Evil obstacles! Hurry up and hand over the soul of Li Sanwazi, otherwise don't blame Dao Ye for being ruthless! "Anyway, I didn't hold it anymore, and reached out to take out the bundle of fairy ropes from the yellow cloth bag, but when I saw the magic weapon in my hand, the six ghosts' faces suddenly turned hideous, and their hands also showed their hands.

There were iron hooks, iron swords, and even some holding pitch-black iron chains, and one by one they rushed to the courtyard with a hula and surrounded me. Seeing such a scene, I am already sure that Li Sanwazi must be in their hands. But at this time, the middle-aged male ghost holding the chain turned his head and shouted angrily to the old man: "Old guy, we will clean up this little Taoist priest later, and then clean you up together, I didn't expect you to be kind to this old thing, hehe!" It seems that in this ghost city, there are not all heinous souls! It's amazing......"

Hearing the words of the middle-aged male ghost, the old man retreated with a reluctant face, and no longer dared to make a sound. I hurriedly said: "Old man, don't worry, when I clean up these evil ghosts, take you and Li Sanwazi's soul out of the ghost city, and then I will send you to the underworld to report, so that you can be reincarnated!" "After that, I didn't hesitate for a moment, I only felt a trace of yin attack on my back, and I immediately waved the fairy rope and beat it violently......
