"You can see through my arm," Al whispered, "your eyes..."

"Young man, when the knife cuts off the body, the heart and eye will reforge a person's soul," the old man stretched out the small wooden stick to explore the weapons on the stall, "What is going on inside you is best known only to you, all I can tell you is that it is dangerous, but it is also extremely powerful, and the thick reddish-brown chaos is really terrifying..."

Al listened patiently to the old man's story, he knew that the old man's actions just now were not malicious, maybe he was just trying to test the details of the guy parasitic in his left arm, but it was clear that the old man did not succeed.

"As for you, kid from the East, the 'Ghost Eye Pill' has exerted a good power in your hands, and I can feel an inexplicable black mist-like power in your body that faintly restrains the curse power of the 'Ghost Eye Pill', but I still can't sell it to you, because you don't really need it now. ”

After that, the dark purple blade "Ghost Eye Pill" in Li Shiyi's hand was out of Li Shiyi's control in an instant, and it brought a purple whirlwind and flew to the side of the old man with a purple whirlwind, only to see the old man stretch out the small wooden stick in his hand and knock it in the air, and the "Ghost Eye Pill" that was still bubbling purple instantly fell silent and fell into the stall, fine smoke and dust rose up, and the precious swords became "mortal" again.

"Old man, are you going to keep setting up a stall in this underground black market?" Al asked.

"Who will know what will happen in the future? The old man was born to belong to this vast continent, and will surely disappear between the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, there is no place for me to stay for a long time, the night is long, only the sword and wine are my long-term companions. ”

People who are truly free and easy will not be bound by the world, only nature is their true belonging, originally thought that this kind of person just lived in the story, but I didn't expect that there were really people so debauched in reality, Al couldn't help but sigh.

"Two young little ones, go and finish your unfinished business, this new world is destined to belong to you, and the remnants of our old world are destined to wither into the loess, I have a hunch that we will meet again in the near future, but the world is impermanent, who can say for sure..."

Ignoring Al and Li Shiyi, the old man began to sort out the sword on the counter with his bare hands, and it seemed that he was preparing to leave.

It was also at this time that Li Shiyi noticed the palm of this strange old man for the first time, and the thick cocoon made Li Shiyi have to face it, which is the unique characteristic of the person with the knife, could it be that this old man also likes to dance with swords?

stared at the "Ghost Eye Pill" for a long time, and as a last resort, Li Shiyi finally gave up the fast knife that slashed ghosts, and it was also fateful, a fast knife that had been stained with the blood of countless evil ghosts, but in the end, it was passed down to the world with the power of cursed evil ghosts.

"You two, we are the regulators of the underground black market, I wonder if you can come with us?"

A rough voice came from behind him without warning, and Al turned around to see two bald men standing behind him, their muscular bodies covered with bulging muscles like hills, and the word "prisoner" burned with a soldering iron on their shiny heads.

"Is there something wrong?" Li Shiyi looked at the regulator's slightly fierce eyes and asked with an expressionless face.

"Regarding the incident just now, the manager of the underground black market wants to learn about the relevant situation from the two of you, and it won't delay the two of you too much time, I hope you will cooperate. ”

Although the regulator's tone was calm, the meaning of the order was obvious, and the two big men had already blocked the way for Al and Li Shiyi to leave, and they couldn't help but disagree.

"What if we don't go?" said Al, who was not at all impressed by the threat.

"You don't have a choice, this is the underground black market. ”

For a moment, a strange thought crossed Al's mind, as if he was being stared at by an insect with compound eyes, as if he were under the supervision of someone else in all directions.

"Young man, sometimes people have to bow their heads under the eaves," the old man whispered as he gathered the weapons from his stall.

"We'll go with you. Li Shiyi said indifferently.

"But, senior brother, aren't you afraid that they will have other intentions?"

"How do you know if you don't try it, and besides, we don't have anything worth thinking about the managers of the underground black market. ”

Li Shiyi glanced back at the old man who was bent over, and took the lead in walking towards a row of rooms not far from the underground black market, which should be where the manager was.

Al cautiously looked at the merchants around him, and then followed in Li Shiyi's footsteps.

Shortly after Al and Li Shiyi left, two merchants dressed as prime men walked up to the old man's stall, and they picked among the dazzling array of knives and swords, and finally chose a broad-bladed scimitar in the shape of a hunting knife.

"Old man, how do you sell this knife?"

"Not for sale. The old man hung the flask around his waist without even raising his head.

"What do you say? Don't sell, we're not bad for money!"

"I don't sell it for any amount I give. ”

"Hey, do you know who we are, you blind old man?"

"The old man doesn't care," the old man had just bundled up a bag of weapons and was putting them on the back of a little donkey, "The old man's weapons are only sold to those who have a heart, not to the laity, so let's go to other stalls to have a look." ”

"Let's go, don't pay attention to this crazy old man!"

Immediately, the two of them left the broad-bladed scimitar and walked away, while the old man carefully wiped each weapon with a strip of cloth stained with wine like his own child, and then put them all away.

Lying on the donkey's back, the old man patted the donkey's buttocks, and the little donkey slowly carried him out of the underground black market and shook in the direction of the center of Xinlan City.

"The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and there is a good show to watch..."

The clatter of hooves slowly disappeared into the field beyond the cemetery.

Pushed open the closed black door by the overseer, Al and Li Shiyi walked into the room of the underground black market manager, the furnishings in the room were very simple, a pear blossom wood screen separated the inner hall from the outer hall, two gentleman's bamboos were planted in a blue and white porcelain jar, and the appliquéd glass lamp sprinkled mottled and broken light, and the room was full of oriental retro style.

After Li Shiyi and Al entered the room, the two overseers slammed the carved door behind them, leaving only Al and Li Shiyi in the entire room.

"Didn't you mean to bring us to meet the managers of the underground black market, people?"

"Behind the screen. ”

Li Shiyi's eyes had already seen the middle-aged man sitting on the golden silk nanmu chair and the Taishi chair through the edge of the screen hollow.

"Mr. Yi, you must have noticed it before we entered the underground black market. Li Shiyi said to the screen as if talking to himself.

"Mr. Yi, Senior Brother, are you..."

"Hahaha," a hearty laugh came from behind the screen, "I just spotted you two, and the scene of the ghoul being killed just now has attracted a lot of interested people to ask me about the identities of the two of you." ”

A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stepped out from behind the screen, pointed-toe shoes, bows, and short hair in the middle accentuated his manners, and this man seemed to have known Li Shiyi for a long time, and seemed to be very enthusiastic.

"Dongfang, are you also from the Eastern Continent?"

Al looked at the man in front of him, but he didn't expect that he also had an oriental face.

"You are Al, from the small town of Nack in the Green Valley Defense Line, a freshman in the Ability Department of the Imperial Military Academy, a celebrity who once made trouble in the Imperial Arena, and a junior brother of Li Shiyi. Mr. Yi easily revealed Al's identity.

"How do you know so well?"

"What, is it difficult?" Mr. Yi held a string of jade beads in his hand, "The intelligence network of the underground black market is ubiquitous, and besides, one of the things that Xiao Li asked me to investigate is related to you, so it is also necessary to know your identity information in advance." ”

"Something to do with me?" Al looked at Mr. Yi and then at Li Shiyi, he was confused, "Senior brother, what's the situation?"

"Hmm, Xiao Li, didn't you tell him?"

"It's not too late to say now," Li Shiyi frowned, he was a little disgusted by this inkblot chatting method, "Just tell me the result, my time is limited." ”

"No hurry, no hurry. ”

Mr. Yi waved his hand, he took Al and Li Shiyi to the back of the screen, three cups of fragrant tea had been brewed in advance on the simple and elegant coffee table, the fragrance of tea leaves was accompanied by mist, incense crumbs were burning in a copper furnace, and green smoke floated out of the window.

"It's not easy to find some authentic Longjing tea in this far-flung Western Continent," Mr. Yi sniffed greedily at the fragrance in the air, "You guys should try it too." ”

"This thing is quite delicious, senior brother, are your drinks in the Eastern Continent so fresh?"

"I hate tea. Li Shiyi said without hesitation.

"Don't you like it? Xiao Li, you are the first Oriental I know who doesn't like to drink tea. Mr. Yi's eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Tell me, Magician, and I want to know everything you know. ”

"Is this impatient? Looks like this person is very important to you. Mr. Yi said jokingly.

"Kasa?!"

Al suddenly alerted, it turned out that this was the real reason why Li Shiyi brought him to the underground black market, maybe Li Shiyi had already sensed something, so he was in a hurry to come here to solve his doubts.

No one is completely sure, this new clue could be a key, or it could be a cloud of air.

"What I'm going to tell you next may offend a lot of forces in the underground black market, but who calls you my friends, I will tell you all the information investigated by the intelligence network without reservation," a meaningful smile appeared on Mr. Yi's face, "So, are you two mentally prepared for it?"
