"What." Gu Yunru cried out in surprise. Looking at so many women, waiting in line one by one to have the wreath put around their necks, she felt a little awkward in her heart.

Qingxing was also put on two garlands. The gazes she saw from those women seemed enough to burn a person to death. Her ears instantly turned red, and she looked very cute.

"I didn't expect there is such a custom here. It's interesting. Let's see who has the most wreaths then." Gu Yunru looked at the road ahead with a smile. If she continued to wear them, she would become a nesting doll. She could only decline the kindness of the girls behind her.

As we walked to the ghost market, the atmosphere became solemn and there were no shops around.

"This is the legendary ghost market. This is my first time here." Kang Keren looked around and took off the wreath from her neck.

"Young... Sir, it looks eerie in here, are there really ghosts?" Qing Xing looked around vigilantly. Fortunately, they were many people, otherwise no one would dare to go inside.

"Don't be afraid, there's nothing here." Huck smiled and said embarrassedly.

The four of them walked towards the street together. When they looked inside, they found that there were many people buying and selling things here. It was very lively, and there were actually twice as many people as during the day.

"Wow, do these people only come out at night?" Gu Yunru looked at the owners of some of the stalls around, who were wearing masks with ghost faces and fangs. The atmosphere became even more eerie and terrifying.

"Sir, Qingxing is scared." Qingxing was timid to begin with. Seeing these people wearing devil masks, she might be too scared to sleep tonight. Gu Yunru held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Kang Keren was very interested in everything around here. He walked to a stall and looked at a gold ingot. The quality of the gold ingot was very ancient and did not seem like a product produced in this dynasty.

"Excuse me?"

"Sir, do you want to see these silver wares? Don't worry, these are from the royal family of Daqi, I guarantee they are not fake!" The stall owner said to Kang Keren with a smile. Gu Yunru bent down and took a quick look and said, "They are indeed well made, but this is too exaggerated. In which dynasty are gold ingots so big?"

Gu Yunru held a huge gold ingot in front of him in his hand, which was almost as big as a pebble.

"Sir, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. This is something from the royal family. The emperor of the previous dynasty specially ordered the craftsmen to make it."

Gu Yunru snorted twice, put the gold ingot back, and said, "I don't believe you."

After that, he took Qingxing for a walk. Unexpectedly, the things here were so dazzling. Although they were not displayed on the surface, some of them she had never seen before, and some were directly made of mud.

"Skull, a fresh dead skull!"

A shop owner shouted in a hoarse voice. After hearing this, she stopped curiously. Can a dead person's skull be sold? Curiously, she bent down to take a look and said, "Boss, what you are selling is really a dead person's skull."

"Of course. It's still fresh after being dug out from the grave. Do you want to buy it?"

Gu Yunru pinched her nose with a nauseous chill. Sure enough, a foul smell came over. This boss’s taste was too strong. But who would take a dead person’s skull?

"This is a folk sacrificial custom, using the skulls of the dead to pray for rain from heaven. It's also something used by the royal family." Huck suddenly appeared to explain to her, and even bought the skull. Along the way, Gu Yunru wanted to keep a safe distance from him. The smell of rotten mud made her feel unbearable.

"I said the weather here is quite moist, why doesn't it rain?"

Gu Yunru asked, blinking curiously.

Prince Hake led the way and patiently responded, "It's God's punishment, so we have to accept it."

"There's no need to use human skulls for sacrifice, that's too cruel." Gu Yunru shrank his neck, still feeling that this way of sacrifice was a little hard to accept.

The two walked and stopped in front, and at this time, Gu Yunru noticed another stall, where a man was about to buy a piece of Hetian jade with a transparent color. Gu Yunru blinked his eyes, always feeling that the color of this Hetian jade was not pure enough.

"etc!"

Just as the customer was about to pay, Gu Yunru interrupted him.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" The stall owner looked at Gu Yunru who had come out of nowhere and said to him without a good temper. Gu Yunru touched his chin, weighed the piece of Hetian jade in his hand and said, "This is obviously carved from stone, it's not real Hetian jade at all, it's too fake."

The stall owner was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Gu Yunru when he heard it. He pointed at Gu Yunru's nose and said, "Don't talk nonsense. This jade is all from Da Qi, and the royal family specially provides it. This jade is so bright in color, and you dare to say it is made of stone!"

"These words are just to fool laymen, but you want to fool me? I am from the Central Plains and came from Da Qi. What you sell are mostly local stones, which are also called pebbles."

Gu Yunru took the so-called Hetian jade and looked at it, then threw it into the air and caught it in front of the stall owner. The customer heard it and suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Well, you dare to sell these fake things to fool me, and say that they were dug out from the tomb of Emperor Song De."

Seeing the two of them getting ready to fight, Gu Yunru couldn't help but shook his head and continued to move forward. He didn't expect that this trip to the ghost market would turn into a fake-fighting party. Many stall owners had already silently taken note of Gu Yunru and were preparing to find someone to deal with him.

Tired of strolling around, the four of them discussed and decided to go their separate ways. Gu Yunru looked at Prince Hake and said, "Why don't you send Miss Kang back to Hua Man Lou first? Qing Xing and I will be waiting for you nearby."

"Well, Miss Kang, please." Hake first sent Kang Keren back to Huamanlou, while Gu Yunru and Qingxing sat aside and drank tea.

"This visit really opened my eyes. I didn't expect there were so many strange and bizarre things." Gu Yunru muttered to himself. If he could bring one or two things back, he might be able to become rich.

"Miss, I think that Prince Hake seems to be very nice to you."

"You don't understand what a gentleman is." Gu Yunru said, picking up the cup and sipping the tea.

"What does gentleman mean?" Qing Xing blinked at her curiously. Just as she was about to explain the word patiently, she was surrounded by five or six big men.

"It's that pretty boy. He's the one who ruined my business!"

The stall owner selling Hetian jade rushed out, not knowing where he found these people from.
