Chapter 41 Zodiac, Shock
“The nightlife is so rich.”
When Ren Qiong left the black market and entered the ghost market with his good brother Li Er, who had a peaceful life, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Of course."
Li Er said matter-of-factly.
"During the day, there is a different world under the sun, but in the dark night, there are hundreds of ghosts walking around, but it is a different feeling."
"Many things that cannot be seen in broad daylight come alive at night."
He shook his folding fan and walked through the streets and alleys, arriving at a remote but not so remote place.
Finally, it led the young man through a thin layer of thin film and opened the door to a new world.
There is feasting and feasting here, and all kinds of delicious food are fragrant.
"This is the gathering of ghosts."
Li Er said, "Compared to the black market, it is a variety of shady goods transactions."
"Then this is a place for all kinds of enjoyment, and a place for various behaviors that are prohibited by the Taoist Court in principle to take place."
He said quietly.
"According to legend, from the earliest times to today, the Taoist court has always maintained such a few rules."
"Humanity and all races coexist with each other."
"Everyone is equal, everyone is equal."
Li Er fanned himself and pretended to be flirtatious, "This seems simple, but it is the most difficult rule in the world to follow."
"If we want to coexist, we must exercise restraint and not infringe on the living space of other ethnic groups."
“To be equal, we must have respect and not be arrogant or contemptuous based on our strength or wealth.”
"It's just that it's easy to say. How can the rules under the sun control the world?"
"So in the dark, various night markets came into being."
"Kill the living beings of other tribes and eat their flesh and blood."
"Appreciate the body and enjoy the romance."
"..."
Li Er said softly.
He described the reality under this dark night to Ren Qiong, which was contrary to the oldest laws of Taoism.
We no longer abide by the original oath, and no longer have all people equal, but the law of the jungle and the strong are divided, and the personality of the superior is distinguished.
Ren Qiong suddenly felt suffocated.
He looked at the passers-by and this gathering of ghosts, as if he had seen a huge devil's cave.
This demon is not the path of cultivation, but is in the human heart!
The ghost market has no specific boundaries, just like there are no specific and clear boundaries between good and evil in the human heart, which is different from the black market.
"Come on, come on!"
Li Eryi took the lead and took Ren Qiong to a remote corner. There was a store there. There was a sheep's head hanging on the door, which seemed to indicate the main business.
"It's from the shopkeeper!"
Li Er walked in and said, "Bring me a roasted whole lamb with enough ingredients... and some jars of sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed rice with ice!"
He is very familiar, maybe he is an old customer who has been coming here all year round.
This was also proven in his subsequent explanation to Ren Qiong.
"This shop has a unique flavor and is a time-honored brand that has been in business for many years." Li Er poured himself and Ren Qiong each a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus brew, and introduced it eloquently, broadening the young man's knowledge, "However, what they do is
There are some obvious taboos in making a living."
"You know the twelve zodiac signs, right?"
He looked at Ren Qiong.
"I know, the twelve zodiac signs also correspond to the twelve earthly branches, which is very involved." Ren Qiong nodded.
"It's good to know." Li Er chuckled, "Actually, it is said that when the Taoist Court was first established, it was with the help of the twelve zodiac animals and the heroes of each ethnic group."
"Afterwards, the Taoist court promised that the 'true' people of these ethnic groups should coexist without committing any crimes against each other."
"The so-called truth corresponds to our human race, which is the real person who builds the foundation."
"But here."
Li Er tapped the wine glass with his chopsticks and lowered his voice, "The ingredients we brought in are the flesh and blood of a real demon!"
"Only in this way, when the soul of life unites the seven souls, regulates the body, and makes everything perfect, can the ingredients become the best and most delicious!"
"This!" Ren Qiong was moved, "Does the Taoist court not care about it?"
"Why don't you care?" Li Er smiled, "Isn't this store open to a gathering of ghosts?"
"It's already like this, how can we still control it?"
"In terms of face, as long as everyone can live with it, why bother bothering us?"
"Is it interesting?"
Li Er chuckled, "Besides, how can it be that the common people light lamps but the state officials can't set them on fire?"
"Some people eat more liberally than we do!"
"What we eat are leftovers from some people who are tired of eating..."
"This is just eating."
Li Er said quietly.
"The more you play, the more open you will be."
He smiled and said to Ren Qiong, "But the goods in this ghost collection cannot be put on the market... The really good ones are invisible to you and me. They have all been taken away long ago."
"...I have learned a lot, I have really learned a lot." Ren Qiong sighed softly.
"Yeah, it opened your eyes, right?" Li Er smiled, "I treat you as my brother, so I will explain it clearly to you and open the door to a new world for you, a young man..."
"Let you understand the true face of this world!"
"Brother's kindness really makes me sigh." Ren Qiong said seriously, "I, Zhang San, have learned a lesson!"
"Oh! You're welcome! They're all brothers!" Li Er waved his folding fan, "What do these little things mean to the friendship between brothers?"
"In the military, we are just like Pao Ze, comrades who depend on each other for life and death. We have swords in both sides, but we just take it easy!"
He patted his chest with such a heroic look that even moved Ren Qiong.
Of course, this feeling is not much, just a little bit.
After all, Li Er's fox tail was quickly exposed, "I have a business here, and even good brothers will not let him participate..."
The fox's tail waggled, making Ren Qiong's eyes full of contempt.
However, Li Er didn't wait for him to finish speaking.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the heaven and earth shook, and everyone in the ten directions trembled!
There is a terrifying force sweeping across, shattering everything!
"Crack!"
Chapter completed!
