In the past, what old Beijingers called "Ghost Market" was also called Ghost Market, or Xiao Market.
It was divided into several places according to its location.
Before and after the fourth watch, people set up street stalls in the dark, and most of the things came from the wrong way. , no light could be seen.
At that time, every night, there were often unidentified figures wandering around in the East Market with suspicious behavior.
It was difficult to tell the difference between humans and ghosts, and even the timid people did not dare to move forward.
When it comes to the ghost market, let me first talk about a man named Blind Laoyi.
In those days, there were many poor men living outside the South Gate who made a living by arguing.
This does not mean talking about the ghost market.
In the past, when the dead were put into coffins for funerals, poles were used to lift the coffins.
To be carried to the grave for burial is to carry a pole for the dead.
To carry a pole for a living person is to carry a sedan chair.
It is popular among the people and is in charge of the place where the pole bearers live.
Fang was called Gangfang Hutong, and the place name is still used today.
The blind old Yi family lived in Gangfang Hutong.
Before the liberation, he made a living by robbing tombs.
According to the jargon, he was a serious back-up fighter.
He was not really blind.
His eyesight became poor after he got older.
He couldn't see clearly and often made jokes.
Based on this characteristic, his neighbors called him "Blind Laoyi".
How bad is this person's eyesight?
It is said that when he was walking on the street in broad daylight, he saw a bundle of things on the ground.
Blind Lao Yi was so happy that he thought to himself, "Whose fur goods have fallen?"
He wanted to pick them up while no one was around.
I took it home, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, I heard two barking sounds and a big yellow dog ran away from the ground.
Another time, Xi Laoyi bought two sesame cakes.
The sesame cakes were freshly baked and must be eaten while they are hot.
It was cold and windy, so he stood under the wall to avoid the wind and ate them.
He did not see the stickers on the wall in front of him.
The notices were all stamped with a big seal.
The big seal was square at first, but later it was changed to a round seal.
There were few people who could read in those days.
A foreigner came over to look at the notice.
This person came from I had never seen a round seal, so I thought Blind Lao Yi was looking at it, so I asked him what the round one was.
Blind Lao Yi said, "The round one is a sesame seed cake.
If you want to eat it, buy it yourself."
Follow him, pointing to the notice and saying: "It's not sesame cakes, what's on top?"
Xi Laoyi said: "The ones on top are sesame seeds."
The two people asked questions that they didn't answer, and the more they talked, the more they talked, and they almost started fighting. .
These things may not all be true, maybe someone deliberately made them up, but word spread that people in and outside the city knew about such a blind old man.
They also heard that he saw a tack falling on the ground while he was walking on the road. , sparkling in the sun, Blind Lao Yi thought it was a pearl, so he picked it up and pricked his hand when he pressed it.
He also blamed his bad eyesight and said angrily: "Hey, it's a bedbug.
It's bleeding from pinching it."
All in all, Blind Laoyi's eyesight is really not that good.
When he saw chicken feathers flying all over the sky in the strong wind, he could see them as sparrows.

Although he was not completely blind, he couldn't eat the bowl of rice he poured.
After that, he was in the ghost all the year round.
He set up a stall in the market to do business, but his business was different from others.
He put a few bags of lamps on the ground, and when he got the lamps, he It's a match.
As the old saying goes, it's called "getting a lantern."
When you pronounce it out, you should pronounce it as "qing lantern."
When exchanging the lamp in the ghost market, it's called "exchanging a soft drum."
The meaning of "getting a lantern" is Ming.
The word Ming is the same as Ming.
He sat beside the things he took out from the grave, paying no attention to the people coming and going, and ignored those he didn't know.
According to what Blind Lao Yi himself said, his eyes were very weird.
When he was still doing the inverted fighting business, he went to other provinces to dig graves one year and learned from the local fellows that there were strange things happening in their mountains.
Whenever the moon was bright, At night, a white light will light up on the mountain.
I don’t know what it is.
Looking up at the foot of the mountain, it looks like there are two bright moons.
After hearing this, Blind Laoyi thought it was a treasure buried in an ancient tomb in the mountain.
He asked to find out the way to find it.
At dusk, he walked to the foot of the mountain.
Suddenly, clouds gathered and thunder rumbled.
He was afraid of heavy rain and did not dare to go any further.
He looked at the road.
There is Luming Ancient Temple next to it, and I wanted to stay here overnight, but the temple has been abandoned for many years, and there is not a single monk in front or behind. , he also did not believe in evil, so he lit an oil lamp and entered the Buddhist temple.
He saw an empty room behind the Buddha statue.
The two door panels were in dilapidated condition and could not be closed when pushed open.
He found some straw to spread the floor and sat alone in the room. , I ate a few pieces of dry food to satisfy my hunger.
Unexpectedly, the wind became louder and louder, the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
It hadn't rained yet, and there was only the muffled thunder.
Just as he was about to put on his clothes and lie down to sleep for a while, he heard something wrong outside the Buddhist temple.
Worried about encountering robbers, Blind Old Yi quickly came out of the house and hid behind the Buddha statue to take a peek.
At this moment, the door of the temple opened and a man came in from the outside.
The woman was wearing blue cloth.
Blind Laoyi was immediately surprised, because he had been robbing tombs all year round.
With extraordinary strength, he saw that the woman had a yin energy, as if she had just crawled out of the grave.
He saw the woman hurriedly entered the Buddhist temple and knelt down in front of the Buddha statue.
At the same time, thunder and fire like golden snakes surrounded the temple, and the blind old man was frightened.
I am so scared that I don’t know where this woman came from, and she wants to hide from the thunder in the Buddhist hall of Luming Ancient Temple.
The woman also noticed someone behind the Buddha statue.
She suddenly raised her head, with six eyes on her face.
The blind old man saw something bad, lowered his head and just ran away.
As soon as he opened the temple door, the woman chased him from behind.
Suddenly, a thunder exploded from the temple.
A call came in from the door and hit the woman on the top of her head.
Blind Laoyi also fainted and fell to the ground.
At that time, his eyes were burned by thunder and fire.
He was not blind, but his vision became increasingly blurry.

The next day, mountain people passed by the ancient temple and rescued Blind Lao Yi.
Then he saw a big spider killed by lightning in the temple.
Its belly was full of turquoise-like bluestone, which looked like jade but not jade.
It could emit light after dark, as bright as Under the bright moon, I realized that the reason why the villagers saw the light shining on the mountain was because of this thing
