Sun Ding helped the woman out of the hotel door, looked up at the car parked on the roadside, and couldn't help but frown.
"Lao Liu, didn't he say that he had something to do tonight and asked him to wait early?"
Seeing that the car had not started yet, Sun Ding complained impatiently. He said that this old guy was unreliable and always missed the mark at critical moments, but his mother did not give him up.
Just as Sun Ding was complaining, the car finally started and drove slowly to the mother and son.
"Lao Liu, you didn't fall asleep again, did you? I'm not telling you, I told you earlier today that we will have dinner tonight...eh!!"
Before Sun Ding could finish his words, he saw the car window rolled down, but the person sitting in the driver's seat was not the old Liu whom Sun Ding was familiar with, but a face that surprised him.
“Is there any big event tonight??”
When Xu Tong's hoarse voice came from the car window, Sun Ding suddenly trembled and quickly turned back to look at his mother.
The woman was also surprised by Xu Tong's appearance, but after being stunned for a moment, her charming face immediately showed the demeanor that a high-class lady should have.
"Senior is here, you just need to inform me. There is no need for you to come to the door in person." After saying this, the woman covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Ah, senior can actually drive??"
"Hehe." Xu Tong grinned and said, "I'm pretty good at driving. Let's get in the car."
The mother and son looked at each other, and they could only open the car door and get in. Sun Ding saw the unconscious Old Liu in the co-pilot, and couldn't help frowning: "How did senior know that we are here??"
The last time they traded in the soup house, they did not meet Xu Tong. They only informed Chen Jian and Gao Zhuo of the news, but did not mention their residence.
After all, it is best not to let too many people know about betraying Senju and the others, let alone reveal one's address at will.
Xu Tong just smiled and did not explain.
In fact, after he came out of Lao Fang's place, he took advantage of the fact that it was still early and headed straight to the antique city, because the ghost market usually only started in the middle of the night.
But if you want to enter the ghost market, you can only find these antique dealers, but they are definitely not the kind of fakes sold at the stalls in front of you. They can only be called second-rate dealers at best.
If we want to talk about real antique dealers, we still need to find the Sun Ding mother and son, but it is not difficult to find this mother and son.
Whether the mother and son are from the mainland, they finally made a trip to L City, which is known as the capital of the gods. Naturally, they will be close to a place like the Antique City, which is convenient for them to shop for things on weekdays.
Just like foreign tourists always choose to stay in hotels closer to scenic spots.
Nowadays, L City is full of strangers all over the world. As an antique dealer with valuable treasures, safety is the first priority. This safety does not only refer to petty thieves, but also to those strangers who possess strange skills.
The only one that can meet the two conditions is this hotel, because the police station happens to be next to the hotel.
The most important thing is that they also have a very important feature, that is, in a place like L City, such a high-end car is as eye-catching as their coordinates.
It would be hell if we couldn't find them.
Seeing that Xu Tong didn't speak, the woman joked: "Senior is also good at calculating. It's not difficult to find us. I just don't know what senior is looking for us on this day. Is there anything we can do for you?"
??”
"Madam Bingxue is smart and she has known it for a long time. Do you still need me to tell you?"
Xu Tong said without looking back.
Seeing that it was past 12 o'clock, it was the Hungry Ghost Festival, and the ghost market opened at this sensitive time. I thought I should know the problem.
Although the mother and son told the news about the stone statue last time and the Thousand Hands' plan to act in advance, they still had scruples in their hearts and did not dare to tell everything.
Now it seems that Qianju's plan lies in the ghost market during this Ghost Festival.
When the woman heard this, she held up her forehead with a wry smile: "Senior, don't dare to disobey your instructions. I just ask that you don't implicate us. After all, this is the only bloodline left in our Sun family."
Xu Tong nodded and stepped on the accelerator. The car made a rumble in the dark and headed straight for the south avenue.
The south of City L belongs to the new area. In reality, there are many high-rise buildings here and the housing prices are the highest in City L. However, at this time, there is only a piece of wasteland.
Even the famous Sui-Tang Park was a wilderness forest overgrown with rotten grass.
But today it was more lively than usual. In the wilderness where no one was usually seen during the day, there were actually bonfires flickering today. From time to time, people hurried into the woods, but when they looked carefully, they could no longer find their shadows.
But when Xu Tong drove there, he was also surprised. He didn't expect Qianju to arrange the place here.
"Senior, although you are well-informed, you are still separated from others. Once you enter the ghost market, please be careful."
The woman sat in the back and reminded her again and again.
The ghost market is not as peaceful as people imagine, nor is it a simple antique trade. Even in the port area, several people disappear out of thin air every year in the ghost market.
In their jargon, these people are all sacrifices. What's more, this ghost market is unusual. Qianju deliberately held the ghost market on the Ghost Festival. No one can tell what will happen.
If it weren't for the Beimang Meeting and their compelling reasons, they would probably have left this place of right and wrong long ago.
The woman had such good intentions, but Xu Tong didn't listen at all. He stared at the man and woman in front of him, with a faint light shining on their bodies.
Only Xu Tong could see the two fluorescent lights, one green and one red. The two of them got into the woods one after another, and then they were suddenly out of sight as if they were covered by something.
"Walk!"
Seeing this, Xu Tong ignored whether the mother and son were following, pushed the door and got out of the car, and walked towards the woods.
As soon as we entered the woods, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped by five or six degrees. Although it was already autumn, the Mid-Autumn Festival was still a month away. It was still very hot, but the temperature in the woods made people feel chilly all over.
Following the footprints made by the previous people on the ground, I looked through the woods and saw that the forest ahead was completely dark, and my dark vision seemed to have failed at this time.
Two blue stone piers stand in the grass like invisible portals.
"This is Fengdu Stone!"
Sun Ding's mother and son who followed up saw the stone pier and introduced it to Xu Tong: "It is said that it was polished with stone bricks from Fengdu. It can control the yin water in a place, and it is unknown if it touches it. The two stone piers face each other, but
A door that calls for ghosts."
"But no one can make this thing. There are only a few remains in some ruins."
As Sun Ding spoke, he couldn't help but sigh. Some things are indeed difficult to explain. Let's talk about this Fengdu Stone. Who can pry two floor tiles from the Fengdu Ghost Palace and still come back alive?
Therefore, no one knows where this thing came from, but China is so big that it can be seen not only in many famous rivers and historic sites, but also in some unknown mountains.
Xu Tong nodded, and took a step forward. As soon as he stepped on it, a dark wind blew up in front of his eyes. When the dark wind blew, it seemed that the darkness was blown away, and the blue fire gradually became clear in the darkness.
stand up.
But before he could clearly see what those firelights were, a huge face suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air in the darkness.
It had a green face and fangs, two horns on its head, and three pairs of eyes on its forehead. It opened its mouth angrily at Xu Tong. Time passed, and a ray of fluorescent light came over. The next moment Xu Tong opened his eyes, what was in front of him was
It's hard to overstate how the world has changed.
I saw that the place was still the same. Looking around, I could still see that his current location was in Sui-Tang Park.
But the world has completely changed. Weird towers and dilapidated palaces are stacked together, black and white lanterns hang overhead, and various floating bridges and pavilions are patchworkly connected together.
It makes people feel like they are in a magical world.
"Rumble, rumble..."
At this time, the ground began to tremble, and a crack was seen tearing the earth apart. Immediately, the surrounding soil and buildings began to twist and move as the earth trembled.
Xu Tong walked to the crack and took a look. He saw that there were all kinds of strange palaces under the ground. If you listened carefully, you could even hear shrill wails.
"Senior, don't go down casually!!"
Sun Ding's mother and son came over and saw that Xu Tong was fascinated by what he saw. They quickly reminded: "Those are not real, but they are not illusions either. We don't know exactly what they are. We just heard people say that the world below is the resentful souls of previous dynasties.
Once you get lost in the created world, you can never come back.”
Sun Ding added on the side: "It looks like an abyss, but it's actually flat ground. But every year, some people don't know what's going on and fall in confusedly. So far, no one has climbed out again, so we
It’s best to stay away from these illusions.”
As he spoke, Sun Ding casually threw a stone downwards. As a result, the stone just fell in the air and stopped moving, as if it was frozen there. In fact, the stone just fell to the ground.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Tong was startled. After being stunned for a few seconds, the sentence from the first chapter of "Huang Quan Lu" popped out in his head: "When the truth is false, the false is also true, and there is nothing but nothing."
."
These words hit his mind like a slap in the face, instantly clearing his mind and making the doubts in his mind clear up.
He looked towards the bottomless abyss in front of him, and a surge of ecstasy suddenly rose in his heart: "So this is it!!"
