Chapter 345 Thirteen Returns

I held balls in my mouth and looked up. It turned out that some strangely dressed people were marching.

Some of these people wear headgear, some walk on stilts, and dress up as various Japanese monsters, as if they are doing some kind of performance.

I know that the Japanese are afraid of ghosts and gods, and also regard various goblin cultures as a profound heritage of their own country.

However, most of them just believe in monsters as a legend, and probably no one will ever think that monsters really exist.

And I remembered the previous experience. Although it was finally interpreted as an illusion, those goblins and ghosts are still vivid in my mind. The abandoned wooden house Douheitian Temple, the insect girl begged me for help, and the Black Stone River Battle Wind Bag Snake, all seem to be true.

So when I saw the procession, I couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

At this time, two young and beautiful female students happened to pass by me and looked at me from time to time. I simply smiled at them and asked, "Hol, I'm a tourist from China. What are these people performing?"

One of Qi bangs, a more polite girl said in skilled English: "Oh, this is a performance of 100 ghosts at night. Today is Japan's Ghost Festival. There will be a ghost market later. There are activities to ask for incense and keep you safe, as well as various gadgets to buy, and there are also many delicious food. You have come at the right time. It's only once a year. Do you want to ask for a peace charm?

I was bored and wanted to know some exotic customs. When I heard that there was delicious food, my stomach was disappointing, so I said, "Then how can I get to the ghost market?"

The girl Qi Liuhai smiled and said, "We're just going. Why don't we go together?"

I hesitated for a moment, but seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, I nodded and said, "Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

The two nodded and didn't say anything. They led the way for me in front of me.

As I walked, the girl with bangs asked me, "Sir, are you here to travel to Liujia Mountain? The scenery there is really nice.

I nodded and said, "Indeed, the pastoral style there is very comfortable. I like it very much."

The girl Qi Liuhai asked, "When did you go?"

After thinking about it, I told the truth, "I came back half a month ago."

The eyes of Qi Liuhai's eyes looked a little excited. She took my hand and asked, "Have you encountered that!"

I was not used to her enthusiasm. I pulled my hand back, touched the back of my head, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

The girl took out her mobile phone, pointed to a message and said, "That's it..."

Looking at the photos of meteorites falling and mysterious dark shadows in the fog in the news pictures, I probably guessed what was, but I still said, "I can't understand Japanese. When I went there, I just walked around the scenic spot and didn't encounter anything strange..."

The girl looked a little disappointed and said, "Is that so? Well, now this news has been blocked, and Liujiashan Park is also controlled by the military. Although the people are curious, they can't know the truth, but I guess it should be caused by aliens!"

I smiled and said, "Maybe it's another prank, just like a wheat field circle, just artificial."

Qi Liuhai said, "No, if it is a prank, there will be no military blockade, and there are some unusual legends in the place of Liujia Mountain. There is a reason why aliens use it as a base."

I was about to talk again when suddenly there was a rumbling sound on the road.

People on the street gave way and hid on the street.

I saw that more than a dozen tanks were coming, followed by more than a dozen armored vehicles.

The team slowly passed by the road in front of us, in the direction of Liujia Mountain in the distance.

I saw that the Self-Defense Forces standing on the tank had a serious expression and live ammunition, and I knew that something must have happened.

On the streets of bustling cities, I'm afraid it's rare to see this kind of war.

People on the street also talked about it, and some showed frightened expressions.

By this time, all the tanks had passed in front of us, and on the armored vehicle behind, an officer-like man said something loudly with a loudspeaker.

When he finished speaking, I asked the girl with bangs: "What did he say?"

The girl said, "He said that this was a joint military performance in the Liujiashan area. Please don't panic. Don't panic no matter what you hear at night, close the doors and windows, and don't wander around the street..."

Before I could speak, the girl said, "Who believes it? This is obviously to fight aliens..."

I was speechless for a while, saying that it was not necessarily an alien, maybe it was related to substance 0017.

However, the meteorite that inexplicably appeared in the center of the swamp a few days ago really made me feel unbearable.

It can burn for so many days, and the scene is very similar to the murals in the underground palace of Lop Nur.

All the troops have passed away, and then people have taken to the streets again.

At this time, I found that the team of people pretending to be monsters were standing on the street. One of the people wearing a unicorn mask was looking at me.

I didn't care at first, but when I looked at this person carefully, I found that his body was actually reversed.

That is to say, his face grows behind his back like his buttocks!

Because I once had a similar experience, that is, when Xie Yuting wore a mask above his head when he was under the black bamboo ditch.

So I wondered if this person would wear a mask on the back of his head, which caused such an illusion?

I was thinking about it when suddenly the girl Qi Liuhai next to me patted me and said, "What are you looking at?" The ghost market is coming soon.

I was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Oh, okay, nothing..."

When I looked back at the masked man, I found that he was missing and the whole team had left.

I changed my angle and found that they didn't go much, but were covered by the phone booth in front of me, which made me a little relieved.

Then, the three of us continued to walk forward. As we walked, I asked Qi Liuhai, "How far is the ghost market?"

The girl replied, "Come on, two more streets, it is Leiyun Shrine, and the ghost market is held in the shrine."

"Leiyun Shrine?" I was stunned for a moment.

The girl looked surprised and thought that I didn't understand the meaning of "sundercloud" and said, "Leiyun is the Thor we believe in here. It is said to be a big monster, but it also saves a side of water and soil, which is quite effective."

I just gave a sound, and suddenly my eyelids jumped, and I had a bad feeling.

After thinking about it, I felt that I was too worried. The old nest of the Lei Yun monk was destroyed by meteorites. What's the danger of this small shrine?

And because it is now a ghost market, there must be many tourists, and I'm afraid nothing will happen.

Thinking of this, I was relieved a lot. Suddenly, I thought of one thing and asked, "Do you have any special meaning to the number thirteen here? Especially for the dead."

The reason why I asked this is that when the white-haired old man died, he said that he would definitely ask us for his life 13 days later.

The girl Qi Liuhai almost did not hesitate and said, "Of course. It is said that on the third day after death, people will go home to visit their relatives. As the saying goes, it is called the soul night. Don't I remember that you also have such a custom in China?"

My cold sweat suddenly flowed down from my forehead and said to myself, how could I know that China only has the first seven-one to say!

After a moment of silence, I asked again, "Do you come to ask for your life on the thirteenth day?"

The girl nodded and said, "Of course, after thirteen days of return, there will be complaints and revenge, but..."

I hurriedly asked, "But what is it?"

The girl said, "But if there is no revenge on the fifteenth day, the resentment will leave and take the ghost car to the underworld to report. However, I heard that on the fifteenth day, the resentment was the most powerful.

Hearing her words, I fell into an ice cave and broke down in a cold sweat.

Although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, the situation of Nobita and Yuting is so weird that I have to doubt this situation.

I slowed down for a long time before asking, "Is there anything here..."

"Is there anything to sell in the exorcism town?" The girl Qi Liuhai cut off my words.

I looked at her with a surprised look and said to myself, how do you know what I want to ask?

At this time, the girl said, "I don't think you look well. You must have encountered that situation, right? I also met it at the beginning, and my mother said it was because my life is relatively light. However, since I was blessed by a relative of Leiyun Shrine, I have never encountered such a thing. So you came here today. I'll take you to the monk.

I don't believe in ghosts. When I heard this, I felt a little embarrassed. I wondered if I was too timid to believe in worshipping Buddha.

But on second thought, there will be nothing wrong with asking the monk to bless me. Now that you are here, let's go to see this monk.

Thinking of this, I stopped talking and followed the two girls all the way. A few minutes later, I saw a courtyard-like building in front of me with white lanterns hanging at the door.

Under the lantern, there are still two people wearing ugly ghost masks standing, posing their heads to attract tourists.

Seeing that the two were dressed funny, many people stopped to take pictures with them.

When we came to the door, a crutch grandfather greeted us with a cane, holding a box in his hand.

I don't know what he is going to do, and the girl next to him said, "This is to donate the merit money to build the temple."

After saying that, each of them put 100 yen into the box, and I also took out one and handed it over.

As a result, the old man waved his hand to me, said a word of Japanese, and turned his head away.

I stood there awkwardly and asked, "Does this... mean to look down on me?"
