The air outside the city was not very good, but after entering the city, I could smell the musty smell everywhere and the air was quite humid, probably due to the moisture from the moat.
The city gate was built completely according to ancient standards, with blue bricks on the ground. When you get to the city, you will see a street with bluestone slabs. There are rows of houses and shops on both sides, all with blue bricks and gray tiles, ancient buildings, which makes me feel like I have traveled through time.
What would it feel like if a heavily made-up woman suddenly jumped out from the side of the road and grabbed me and called out, "Master Ximen..."? I scratched my head, maybe Wu Song was following behind me? Haha, I'm getting off topic.
Shen Bing pointed to a shop on the left side of the road and shouted, "Look, that's a shop selling powder and rouge. I've never seen how ancient people used this kind of cosmetics. Let's go in and take a look."
I grabbed her and whispered, "Keep your voice down. I feel like the city is filled with gloom and it feels like a ghost town that has been silent for a long time. Don't wake up the dead ghosts."
"What ghost town?" Shen Bing stopped reluctantly and asked me in a low voice.
As I walked slowly forward, she said in a serious tone, "It is said that there was a flower thief in the Song Dynasty who often harmed young girls from decent families at night. One time, he stepped on a plate and waited until midnight to sneak into this family's house. Guess what?" I also learned to keep people in suspense.
"What else can I do? Isn't it just harming the girl?"
Oh my god, this girl is so stubborn, so of course her answer is also stubborn.
I smiled and continued, "He arrived at an untimely moment. The family was haunted, and a Taoist priest hid in the young lady's boudoir to catch ghosts. He caught the flower thief in the act. The flower thief begged him not to tell the family or report to the police, and promised to give the Taoist priest fifty taels of silver. Fifty taels was a large sum of money at the time. The Taoist priest was tempted when he heard it, and he took the flower thief away quietly that night. However, the thief was lying to him and didn't have so much money. The Taoist priest was furious and sent him to Yinshan Ghost City.
"This flower thief didn't know that the city was full of ghosts. He was attracted by the pretty lady and went to commit crimes at night. As a result..." I stopped here.
"What happened?" Shen Bing asked anxiously.
"As a result, the boy was raped by the female ghost, and then raped again. He was tormented all night long and his yang energy was sucked dry. He really turned into a sex maniac." I covered my mouth and laughed.
Even though I always used XXOO to represent the process, Shen Bing was not a fool and naturally understood. She wrinkled her nose at me and said, "Where did you hear this? This is an ancient dirty joke."
I admit that it is an ancient dirty joke, and I secretly heard my father tell my mother. I can't tell her this, and I can't tell the truth even if I die. Speaking of which, all these stories in my father's mind were told to him by my grandfather, or they were also overheard. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in my head. Yinshan Ghost City, Ghost Building Yinshan, isn't that Yinshan? Could this ghost city be here
I used to think that Yinshan Mountain was in Inner Mongolia. Isn’t there a poem that goes “No Hu horse is allowed to cross Yinshan Mountain”
Seeing that I was deep in thought, Shen Bing said unhappily, "Are you still thinking about the flower thief?"
"Yeah, I envy the flower thief." I said casually.
“Then I will be that female ghost and suck your yang energy… Ah, you are so bad, I won’t do it…” The girl suddenly realized that she had said something wrong, and she ran forward while covering her face.
