Section 39, Five Fortune Paths
Updated: 2012-12-02
Taiping Road
It is said to be a road that existed since the Republic of China. Later, after erosion of war, founding of the country, reform and opening up, it gradually withdrew from the attention of the people of M City. After all, an old stone road is nothing worth a few years.
Gradually, Taiping Road connects the surrounding ancient buildings and becomes a tourist attraction in M City. It is better to say that it is Taiping Road, it is a very famous night market in M City.
However, this night market is very interesting.
Whether it is the operators here or the residents here, they all follow an ancient legend.
This legend is... It is not peaceful on Taiping Road, so don't go after 12 o'clock.
And we are now driving to Taiping Road, the center of M City.
After looking at the time, I smiled and said, "It's 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. Is it really okay for us to go?"
The fat man nodded and said confidently: "What's the matter? Even if there is something wrong, it will become okay if we meet."
I was so old that I yawned. I didn’t sleep well yesterday. I struggled for a whole day today. I felt a little unable to hold on. I couldn’t help but sigh that I was so tired all night in college. I never felt so tired now. Could it be that I really aging before I got old?
After closing the collar, I locked it on the passenger seat, tilted my head and planned to take a look for a while. According to what the fat man said, the road was quite remote and he had never been there before.
I was confused and swayed with the swaying of the car. I suddenly felt the car stop and tilted forward slightly. I opened my eyes and asked, "Hmm? Have you arrived?"
The fat man's voice came to his ears: "It's a bit weird here."
I rubbed my eyes, pulled off my eyes, and looked out through the car window.
It was pitch black outside the window, followed by the starlight, and some blurry outlines could be seen clearly. I asked, "Why is something wrong? I didn't see it."
The fat man said, "Look behind him."
Let me see behind me? I turned my head and didn't see any difference.
"Look at the road behind." The fat man reminded me.
I looked carefully and turned to look in front.
Then I also found something wrong, but I couldn't tell why it was wrong.
"Don't understand?" the fat man asked me.
I smiled bitterly and said, "I've been in contact for too short. I can see something wrong, but I can't tell what's going on."
The fat man patted my shoulder and said with a smile: "It's not bad, at least I feel something is wrong." After saying this, he whispered: "Damn, why haven't I been here? I made a mistake."
I hurriedly asked, "Brother Fat, what's going on? Is this the location of the talisman?" I thought it should be true in my heart, although I have never seen such a talisman, but the road is too weird. Can it be?
The fat man explained: "When I saw this, I knew it wasn't here."
I frowned and said, "I really didn't see any different places here, I just felt... it felt awkward."
"You can see awkwardness, even if you have made great progress, in fact, it will affect a person's judgment. It makes people subconsciously feel that everything is normal and that you can feel awkwardness. You can say that you have entered the door of our circle." Fat Brother couldn't say that he was praising me or hurting me, but it moved me very much.
After all, it has only been less than half a year since I met Ye Yi, and I have experienced too many things. I feel that I have been through a long time and thought I have learned a lot, but every time I encounter something, I realize that what I know is still so shallow.
I looked around and looked around for a long time but couldn't see what it was. I could only shrugged helplessly, admit my shallow knowledge in this area, and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
Fat brother rubbed his nose, pressed his voice down and said, "This place is occupied."
I looked at the empty streets, no, not only empty, but simply empty streets, and there was no sound of the wind with the spiral. Why... Uh... were it those things?
I couldn't help but tremble. Although I had seen too many evil things, Fat Brother said "occupy" and made me feel so oozing through my pores. It made me feel that there were a lot of... dirty things around me. But strangely, my amulet didn't react at all, that is, there was no danger to me around. It also made me feel much more relieved.
But I still feel uneasy from the bottom of my heart.
Then, I said, "Brother Fat, since there is no problem here, let's go."
Fat Brother looked at me and laughed, "Don't you want to know what's going on?"
I wanted to shake my head, and then I saw Fat Brother patting my shoulder and saying, "In our career, you have to see everything. This is good for your future path. In fact, many things in our circle are repeated, whether it is exorcism or catching ghosts. Only artificial things are the most complex, and these things that naturally form or overlap each other can be regarded as an opportunity to increase your knowledge. Take the thing in front of you as an example. Now I dare not say it is artificial or coincidental, so I have to check if there is any danger."
I said with slightest words: "It must be no danger. It's okay after so many years."
The fat man nodded and said to me: "You are right, but that is based on how many people are unlucky before 12 o'clock, before the words Mo Tong will pass after 12 o'clock, do you know? You have to find the reason and see if it can be solved."
"Okay, let's talk about what exactly is here?"
The fat man turned his head and looked at the street behind and said, "This kind of place is called Wufutong Road. If you look back, there are exactly five big and small streets behind, three big and two small. This kind of path walks during the day and ghost walks at night. It usually exists as a pass or ghost market. Oh? Don't look at me that way, you don't understand the meaning of the transfer station? Hehe, do the post office know? Does the express delivery company know? That is to say, it's such a place at night. But you still have to go in and check it out before you know it."
Go in?
I shivered, and I still want to go in?
The fat man smiled and said, "What? Don't you dare? If it's a ghost market, it's very interesting. It's good to go there once in a while, as a travel."
Damn! I really want to scold people, go to the ghost market? What I lose is that this kind of person can tell it. If it were ordinary people, they would have been scared to pee their pants. This is not the kind of archaeological and chewed ghost market, but the real, authentic place.
I couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "Brother Fat, I really don't want to go." After all, when Ye Yi said he would open the eyes of the sky, I firmly refused. I could be bold, but I was not so bold that I saw those things floating around in front of my eyes all day long. In fact, I didn't know what the eyes of the sky could see. But I subconsciously felt that it would be better not to open it if I could. Sometimes I was so stubborn.
The fat man smiled at me and said, "I know what you are thinking, but I tell you. No matter which one it is, there is actually no danger. The purpose of my work is to take you to open your eyes and increase your knowledge. If you don't want to go, forget it. You have to know that everything we encounter in normal times... um, yes..." The fat man grabbed the back of his head, as if he wanted to find a suitable word to describe it. In the end, what he found was, "Yeah, it's the black household. It's almost like that. You can imagine that the black households in modern society can be completely free from legal binding force. So they are dangerous and endangering people's safety. But this kind of thing exists legally. Yes, legally! So, as long as we don't cause trouble, it's safe."
After the fat man finished speaking, he looked at my suspicious eyes and shrugged his shoulders. His fleshy neck and his appearance when he shrugged made his neck, which was not long, completely shrink in. It felt absolutely not handsome, but it was absolutely not adorable.
However, I understand that as a friend of Ye Yi, as my senior, I should trust him as if I believed in Ye Yi. If Ye Yi said this to me tonight, I would definitely follow him out of the car without hesitation. Suddenly I understood the reason why I was afraid, just because I don’t trust the fat man. It’s that simple.
"Okay, let me see it." I nodded. I had no reason not to trust the fat man, because what qualifications and reasons do I have to question someone that Ye Yi can trust?
The fat man said, "You haven't opened your eyes before, right?"
I nodded.
"Well, this is a bit difficult to deal with. I don't know how to open the sky eye. There is a way to let you see it temporarily. Would you like to try it?" said the fat man.
I said, "Haha, I believe in your Fat Brother. What do you think?"
The fat man said: "Let the spiritual charm I raised use to cover your eyes with a ghost, and use the yin energy on its body to let your eyes temporarily see it."
I felt that there was no big problem, so I nodded in agreement.
Fat Brother said, "I'll agree first, don't be surprised if you see anything later. You can treat them as ordinary people."
I asked, "Brother Fat, can you see it now?"
The fat man smiled and said, "Do you think I am a person with great supernatural powers like Mr. Taiyi? It's very hard to open the eyes of the sky. And if you don't enter the door, who knows what's going on inside?"
door?
I looked out of the car window, where did the gate come from in this empty street?
Fat Brother laughed and said, "Silly Brother, it's the gates of hell. Can you see this?"
"Gate of Hell!" I exclaimed.
Fat Brother shook his head and said speechlessly to me: "Silly Brother, the function of the Ghost Gate is not to lead to the underworld, but there are many places where the Ghost Gate is open. It is a gate like the science fiction movie Star Gate. Let's go and see what is behind the Ghost Gate in M City. Close your eyes and feel the coldness open."
