Speaking of this, I have to mention what is sold in the ghost market. In fact, exactly speaking, there are all kinds of things sold in the ghost market. They are never classified. Even rags and rags are sold. Moreover, there is an unwritten rule, that is, whoever comes to the stall early will occupy the land first, and the later will not care so much.

However, in recent years, what people call ghost market is actually another kind of antique market, which is similar to black market and private auction. It's just that ghost market is more market-oriented, but also more mysterious.

As for why "ghost market" can't be said, nor can it be said, let alone stroll, we have to say "go to ghost market". If we think about it carefully, we can find that the word "go" is very learned: if the water is shallow, the water is fast and the water is slow, we have to try it by ourselves, which means we have to feel the stones to cross the river. That is to say, we have to rely on our own eyesight to pick up leaks or drill holes.

In addition, there are many rules for trading in ghost markets: for example, you don't ask about the goods when you look at them; you can't ask where they come from or get them; when you look after the money and the goods, you can turn around and refuse to accept the debt after the clearance of the two parties. As for whether you look at the goods or not, that's your own business, and you can bargain only after you look at them.

It is worth mentioning that the street vendors in ghost markets are often from all over the world, with great mobility, and their identities are also very complex. They include people who teach and learn, and even most of them are "local gentlemen", who make money from the dead. This is also the reason why ordinary people do not want to touch ghost markets. After all, regret is not.

Of course, these are the knowledge Lin Xi saw in the professional books he bought, and he did not accumulate practical experience.

As for the antique ghost market, Lin Xi also saw a story in his book. It says that there is a man carrying a full set of Jingdezhen porcelain to sell in the ghost market. One end is 8864 pieces, and the other is 128 pieces. Looking through the moonlight, the style, seal, tire and glaze are very authentic, and things look like real things. Although they have been used for a long time, there is no shortage It shows that the user is very careful and well-known. It's obvious that they are more skillful than the user, and the price is extremely cheap. They also sell half of the products and give half of them away. Then a man bought it and took it home. Later, he asked people to look at it and said that he had picked up a "big leak". He also estimated that the man was in charge of the kitchen and sold it for urgent use.

It can be seen that this is the reason why people are flocking to the ghost market.

In fact, the most popular ghost market was in the period of the Republic of China. However, with the outbreak of the Anti Japanese War, the common people were precarious, and all walks of life were greatly impacted. Of course, ghost market was no exception, so it gradually declined.

Especially in the period after the liberation of China and the implementation of the planned economy, not to mention ghost markets, few people even set up stalls in the business sector. Therefore, ghost markets once disappeared in the world's vision. It was not until the spring breeze of reform in the 1980s that ghost markets gradually appeared in the world's vision.

However, as a matter of fact, ghost cities are extremely rare. Because of its particularity, not every city can have them. For example, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, which are big cities in modern times, do not have ghost cities, and most of the cities where they exist are historical cities, such as Kyoto, Xi'an, Tianjin, Kaifeng and so on.

But why did Langzhong also have it? Lin Xi thought about it carefully, and he really understood.

Langzhong is an ancient city which has been handed down for thousands of years. Its historical details are needless to say, and more than 80% of its cultural features have been preserved so far. The existence of ghost city is natural.

When Lin Xi was a child, he once heard the story of a ghost city in Langzhong told by an old man in the village. At that time, he didn't know what a ghost city was. He thought it was a legend of gods and monsters. He felt afraid and novel in his heart. But for the reason of curiosity, he also kept the story told by the old man in mind.

What I didn't expect is that today, more than ten years later, he has entered the antique world by accident, which is one of the reasons why he promised Wu Younan to stay in Langzhong.

Because Lin Xi remembers that the ghost market in Langzhong was built half a month ago, and today is just half a month. If he missed today, he would have to wait half a month before opening it again. However, he still has a lot to do when he comes back this time. Whether he can spare time after this month can only be said twice.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xi decided to come here today. But then again, the main purpose of his coming here is not to pick up leaks, because with the development of society, it is more and more difficult to pick up leaks in recent years, and there is a lot of luck in it. It is not that Lin Xi will be able to pick up leaks when he has the ability of heavenly eye, which is why It's like water without a source and wood without roots. It's hard for a skillful woman to make a meal without rice. Where can she pick it up if there's no leakage?

In fact, although the ghost market is mysterious and lively, it also makes people talk about it with relish. But there are nine fake things in it, and sometimes even one real thing can't be found after walking around. So even for his own consideration, Lin Xi will never easily buy anything here, and the main purpose of his coming here is to see the world.

After all, for a person who has decided to settle down in the antiques industry, if he doesn't go to the ghost market twice, it seems that it's really hard to say. It makes people laugh and lose face.At that time, the fog in the ancient city of Langzhong was hazy, the moonlight in the night could not penetrate the fog, and the dim street lights were dim. Ordinary people walking in the ghost market could not see far away. Even without using the heavenly eye, Lin Xi could only see about 40 or 50 meters away.

Fortunately, this situation does not affect the line of sight, because walking in the ghost market, as long as you can see the objects on the nearest stall clearly, even if you can see them from a distance, even if you like them, can you really buy them from a long distance?

However, Lin Xi found that although there were a lot of people in the ghost market when he came, most of them were watching, but few of them actually made a deal to buy it. Obviously, the people who could come here were people who knew well and would not sell it easily.

In addition, although the streets of the ghost city are bustling, they are not crowded, and the previously mentioned noise is mostly whispering. Although it is a bit popular compared with the whole silent ancient city, it is still quite cold. It seems that everyone in the ghost city is deliberately creating a mysterious color.
