Chapter 59: You reap what you sow
The result of that night was that I ate all of Shen Xing’s remaining apples, and the price I paid was a black eye on my left eye, while Cheng Xin Ge, as the culprit who ate the food, got a black eye on his right eye.
Shen Xing’s exact words were: “I don’t want money, it’s useless. Since 2,000 yuan has already been used as punishment and it hasn’t scared you, then I’ll just give you a punch each. I’ve wanted to hit you for a long time. People in their thirties are like children. I hate men who are not mature at their age. I think they are pretending to be innocent.”
My brother and I were relieved that she didn’t even want money. It was so easy. How heavy could a girl’s fist be? The result was this: a one-eyed “panda.” The two of them together were a “panda.”
After the fight, Shen Xing rubbed his fist and told us, “Hey, my hands are stiff. I wasted my time practicing Taekwondo in the past few years!”
Can a man hit a woman? Can he? No! So my brother and I endured it, and at 8 o’clock in the morning, we went to the ghost market with panda eyes.
But now I’m already considered a ‘celebrity’, and going to the flea market with this image of Chengxin’s is bound to be pointed at by others. Chengxin originally didn’t want to go to the flea market today, but he couldn’t help wanting to find some information on complementary medicines, and he was afraid of being beaten by that female violent element again if he stayed in the house, so he came out with a stiff head.
So, the two of us walked out together, becoming the focus of the crowd.
“Hey, Chen Chengyi was so cool yesterday, but today he has a black eye!”
“Hey, the other guy has panda eyes too. Did they fight?”
This is the kind of thing we heard the most until we met someone who spread rumors, and we heard the rumors they spread with our own ears.
“Hey, I knew it. It’s not new for this ‘couple’ to fight.” The man said to others with a calm expression.
“What couple? They’re obviously two men. Are you kidding?”
“How can I be lying? In our circle, there are plenty of men and women who like each other and spend time together. Besides, I’ll tell you, one day I saw the one with glasses holding the other, that’s Chen Chengyi, and they were so in love it was hard to see.”
When I and Chengxin heard this news, we clenched our teeth and our veins were bulging. We had already been beaten up by Shen Xing, so we were already angry, but now this rumor-monger had made our volcano erupt.
The two of us looked at each other, said nothing, rushed over, grabbed the rumor-monger, and dragged him to a secluded place to give him a good beating. Only then did I and Brother Chengxin feel some relief.
But that guy was a smart-ass, and even after being knocked down and lying on the ground, he was still yelling, “Husband and wife working together can break through any obstacle. Turtle, you two are so mean (he was saying that the two of them were very mean), and you only needed a few punches (a few punches) to make me spit blood (he was saying that he was spitting blood).”
When Chengxin heard this, he was furious and rushed over to give him a few kicks. I stopped him and said, “Let’s go. This kid is from Sichuan. For the sake of my fellow countrymen, don’t hit him.”
But I didn’t forget to warn him, “I understand that you’re jealous of my good looks! Don’t fabricate stories about me and my brother just to stop the female Taoist from falling for me. If I hear it again, I’ll beat you up!”
After threatening to play with that guy, Chengxin and I went to the ghost market feeling refreshed. After all, the anger in our hearts had been vented!
Chengxin laughed even more, saying that the guy must have owed Shen Xing a meal in a previous life.
I asked why, and Brother Chengxin laughed and said that if he didn’t owe money for the meal, how could he be the cause of Shen Xing and go to repay the debt?
When Chengxin and I arrived at the ghost market, there were almost no people there. We handed in our blue tickets and were the last to enter, but we didn’t care.
Yesterday, we won two games in a row, and with 40,000 yuan in cash on our person, we were feeling very rich!
According to the agreement, Chengxin would not enter the “house in the house.” He would wander outside looking for medicinal herbs, and I would be the only one entering the “house in the house.” I walked there with the gait of a nouveau riche, and without saying a word, I threw out 10,000 yuan. After the person counted it, he walked in like a grandpa.
As soon as I entered, my relaxed mood was gone. I felt a strong spiritual energy fluctuation in the room. Needless to say, this must be the center of the entire ghost market formation. The fluctuations in spiritual energy have a relatively large impact on people. For example, my whole body’s blood flow accelerated. After all, the spiritual energy of the formation is not my own, and it does not blend with me, so it will affect me.
As everyone knows, ginseng is a great tonic, but if you eat too much at once, it is definitely harmful.
No wonder there is a threshold here. If you don’t have the cultivation, you will definitely be ‘stimulated’ out by the fluctuations of spiritual power here. People who don’t have the cultivation usually don’t have much money, and they don’t need to ask for ‘high-end’ things from the ‘old ghosts’. This is why they charge high prices.
After adapting to the powerful fluctuations of the spiritual energy here, I began to adapt to the darkness here. Unlike the outside world, where there are still many candles burning, it is completely dark here. When I first came in, I didn’t dare to move at all. I could only adapt to it before I dared to move.
Just as I was trying to get used to the darkness, a voice suddenly came into my ear: “Kid, you made a big splash yesterday, but you’re ‘blind’ here today, aren’t you? You don’t trade here with your eyes, you trade with your spiritual senses, your third eye. If you have a third eye, you can see everything, and you can slowly choose who to trade with! If you trade with your spiritual senses, you can trade with whoever you feel.”
I was startled by this voice and scared. I subconsciously took out my lighter and looked at it, and then I saw an ordinary, completely unfamiliar face staring at me angrily. The next moment, it blew out my lighter and said angrily, “There can’t be any light here. Those ‘old people’ don’t like it. Since this is your first offense, if there is a next time, you’ll be kicked out.”
I was rude, so I quickly put away my lighter and apologized, explaining, “I was just wondering if you recognized me, and I was afraid you were an acquaintance of mine.”
The man impatiently “hummed” and then said, “Don’t do it again! Anyway, I’ve already told you the rules. If you don’t have supernatural powers and your spiritual awareness is not strong enough, you should leave as soon as possible and explain the situation. You can get 5,000 yuan back. However, judging from your battle yesterday, your spiritual awareness is extremely good, so I won’t say anything more. You can do as you please!”
After that, the voice disappeared, and after my conversation with him, my eyes had also adapted a little to the environment here, but I could only see vague shadows moving around, and I couldn’t see clearly on the road.
But what is the “eye of heaven”? My buddy opened his “eye of heaven” when he was six or seven years old. Is it difficult for me? In the next moment, I silently recited the mantra and immediately opened the state of the “eye of heaven.”
This behavior caused the owner of the voice to exclaim, then said in a low voice: “No wonder, without talent it is difficult to enter the door of the old Li’s school!” After that, it was silent.
But I didn’t have the time to waste talking to the owner of the voice, because as soon as I opened my heavenly eyes, I was shocked by the scene here. The old ghost had indeed lived in the dark for too long. I can’t say that the ghost is mentally deranged, but it definitely has a special hobby. This scene in front of me really scared me. It was so shocking. I hated that I could see so clearly. I really wanted to stab my own eyes out!
But what can I do? What’s even worse is that the magical properties of the spirit body make it sensitive to other people’s “gaze.” When you see or feel it, it can definitely feel that you see or feel it.
So, an even more exciting scene unfolded. They all looked at me almost at the same time. At that moment, I really wanted to slap myself. I had opened my NM spiritual eyes and had become the focus of attention. I looked at everyone’s faces, and it was really my own fault!
But no one sympathized with me. The indistinct figures looked at me laughingly as I made a fool of myself. I gritted my teeth and told myself that I had to get used to this state of clairvoyance and talk to everyone in order to get more information, didn’t I?
So, I endured the shock and discomfort, and tried to take a good look at every being here!
