What is even more incredible is that the cave in front of me is not deep, but I can feel a gust of cool breeze blowing from its depths. The vent is far away from me, so that when the wind passes through the cave, it makes a very long "whimper" sound. In addition, I can also hear the sound of running water under my feet. Judging from the sound, it should be a very turbulent river, which is now flowing a few hundred meters below my feet.

This feeling was too real. I tried to take one foot and wanted to find out if there was a way in front of me, but after I lifted my foot, I didn't dare to fall down. I was afraid that if I accidentally couldn't master the balance, I would fall down.

Senior Brother Feng suddenly appeared behind me and pushed me hard.

He pushed me into the hole. The moment I entered the hole, I had only one year left in my heart: "I fell down when it's over!"

But I staggered forward for two steps and stepped onto the ground. However, the sound of wind and water were still there, which gave me another illusion that I felt like I was standing in mid-air.

At this time, Senior Brother Zhuang cut the matches, lit the torch, and asked me jokingly: "Is it fun?"

With the light of fire, I saw that this place was an ordinary cave, very shallow.

But I still wiped my sweat with lingering fear, and complained to Senior Brother Zhuang: "I'm scared to death if I don't bring this to play."

Senior Brother Feng also walked by with a smile, patted my shoulder and said, "When every disciple of the Soul Village came here for the first time, there was such a thing. This is the unwritten rule of our Soul Village."

I sighed, "Oh, why do you have such rules? My master also asked me to memorize the rules. It seems that there is no such rule."

Senior Brother Feng still grinned and said, "So it's an unwritten rule. Brother Zhuang and I were both punished when we first came. I remember the first time I came, my master pushed me into this hole, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak all morning. You people who are in the righteous lineage are brave enough. Looking at you, I broke out a little cold sweat, much better than I was at that time."

What does it mean to have a little cold sweat? I thought I was dead just now, okay?

At this time, Senior Brother Zhuang also said, "There are far more than these ways in this cave. Do you know how the sounds of wind and water come from?"

I shook my head and saw Senior Brother Zhuang knocking on the wall with his palm a few times. The sound when he hit was three light and two heavy, two long and one short and one long.

Then I saw cracks suddenly appearing on the hole wall in front of me. Soon the cracks became one piece, and the originally complete wall was broken into countless pieces of stone.

In this way, in the dark cave wall, a two-dimensional door hole appeared like last time.

Senior Brother Zhuang picked up a piece of gravel and showed it to me. I saw that there were several very thin silk threads connected to the stone, connecting it with several other stones. The silk thread was very soft and thin, but it was filled with a very tough luster.

No wonder the cave walls can be airtight. They were originally made of these gravel stones. The gaps between the stones are the source of the wind in the cave.

Senior Brother Feng pointed to the door hole that just appeared and said to me: "There are three such living doors in the ghost market. You have seen these two in front of them, and one is underground in the town gate hall. These three doors were all set up by my master and I more than ten years ago. You don't know that we had put a lot of effort into putting these stones together in a tight fit."

Senior Brother Feng’s words sounded like he was complaining, but when he spoke, he had a very proud expression on his face.

Senior Brother Zhuang put down the stone in his hand and took us into the door hole. Only then did I realize that there was a turbulent stream outside the door hole. The water in the stream was not large, but the flow was very fast. The sound of the water running sounded like a river located in a hundred meters abyss.

It's so sophisticated. The entire secret passage, from the cat's eye glass that can peek outside, to the psychedelic array placed under the nine luminous stone beads, to this carefully arranged small cave, are all so so sophisticated!

To be honest, if it weren't for the leadership of Senior Brother Zhuang and Senior Brother Feng, if I had mistakenly entered such a secret passage, even though the tunnel was not deep and there was no fatal mechanism, even if I had exhausted my life's wisdom, I'm afraid I might not have been able to get out of it.

I have heard from my master before that my senior brother Feng and his family mainly look at Feng Shui, choose a house and tomb, and occasionally take some effort to clean up the old houses in Jihun Village. So I always thought that what Senior Brother Feng and his family do should be similar to the Feng Shui masters that are common in daily life, but I never even dreamed that the things built by Senior Brother Feng and his family would look like this!

I looked back at the door hole just now, and saw the gravel stones slowly being combined together and re-stitched into a stone wall, and the door hole was getting smaller and smaller.

After Brother Zhuang took us over the stream, there was another wide river vein not far away. Uncle Ke, who was blind, moored a small boat to wait for us by the river.

Perhaps hearing our footsteps, Uncle Ke shouted to us from afar: "Hurry up!"

We quickly trotted for two steps. After getting on the boat, Senior Brother Zhuang took the oar pole from his uncle and drove us to float on the river.

Our end point is an ancient well connected to the river channel. Only after climbing out of the wellhead can we truly enter the ghost market.

The entire ghost market is built in a large stalactite cave inside the mountain. The top of the cave is very high. When you look up, you can only vaguely see the stalactites hanging upside down on the top of the cave. Water drops often fall along the stalactites and hit my head and shoulders.

Senior Brother Feng pointed to a row of earthen houses not far away and said to me: "This is the foot market outside the Guicheng City. The entire ghost market is divided into two rings inside and outside. The outside ring is the foot market. Most of the people who do business here are some foot merchants without any sects. In the inner ring, there are West City, East City and Store. Those who can do business in the East and West City are all fellow students from all walks of life. The store is specially prepared for those relatively large sects. The location of the store is the town hall, which is where our Jihunzhuangmenmen stays."

I asked Senior Brother Feng: "What is a foot merchant?"

Senior Brother Feng explained to me: "Foot merchants, in the past we also called them merchants or commissioners. These people deal with major sects all year round and resell merchants from major sects. Sometimes they are entrusted by some sects to find some rare treasures. However, most of the time, it is difficult to sell the merchants in their hands, so whenever the ghost market opens, they will bring the goods pressed in their hands to the ghost market to sell them."

Just as Senior Brother Feng was talking, I saw someone walking into one of the earthen houses with a huge bag. After a while, he came out of the earthen house and hung a red lantern on the door beam. Two words were written on the lamp surface with a brush: Weird goods.

Later, Senior Brother Feng said to me: "In the Jiaoshi, there are all kinds of things, and buyers are also varied. Sometimes you can meet some famous people who have been famous for a long time to buy something here. The West Market in the inner ring is similar to that here, but the shops are all disciples from major sects, and they are more reliable in reputation than those of the Jiaoshi. The East Market is quite special. People who do business there do not sell physical things, only tell fortunes or sell some gossip. As for the store, few people there come to do business, and they rarely show up before the opening of the store."

While talking, Senior Brother Feng took me to the center of the ghost market.

After about twenty minutes of walking, Senior Brother Feng pointed to a row of houses not far away and said to me: "From here, we are in Xicheng City. There are a total of 1,000 shops in Guicheng City, 240 in Xicheng City, 240 in East City, and 10 stores with larger sizes in the store, and the others are distributed in the foot city."

I have to say that the ghost market is indeed very large. It not only can accommodate a thousand shops, but also runs through several wide stone roads and countless small roads. If it weren't for the guidance of Senior Brother Feng and Senior Brother Zhuang, I would have thought that I would get lost.

But in such an empty space, there are only a few shops with lanterns lit up, illuminating a very small area. Other places are filled with large areas of darkness and shadows, which makes people feel a little depressed.

However, Senior Brother Feng said that most of the merchants in the ghost market have not arrived yet. When a thousand shops are opened, more than a thousand lanterns will light up at the same time. When he first came, he happened to catch up with such a big market. When he saw the blood-red lanterns scattered, he didn't feel depressed, but had a strange feeling that he couldn't explain.

Think about it, in such a large cave, there was such a red light everywhere. If it were me, I would feel uncomfortable.

Not long after walking again, I saw an ancient building with a very large size not far away. Like the old houses in Jihun Village, this ancient building also has egg-yellow walls and black spires. On the walls, it also has a very conspicuous wooden structure.

This is what Senior Brother Feng mentioned just now, and the huge sign is embedded on the door beam.

Unlike those dim earthen houses, there are more than ten pure white eternal lights standing around the door and tripod footsteps. When approaching it, the surrounding world suddenly became brighter, which made me feel much more relaxed.

At this time, Uncle Ke said to me with a smile: "This is your master's store. When he was young, he liked the grand ceremony. He expanded the door tripod several times before he became what he is now. This store will be yours in the future. You must learn from your master well. Don't look at him like that. When doing business, you will be a good player."
