Chapter 16: Return to the Slave City
The sun was rising, Yuan Huang and Li Huan and others rested all night, and then left Cang's house early.
The blind child was in a hurry to return to the master's door, and left in a hurry to say goodbye to Yuan Huang briefly last night, and after helping Yuan Huang treat his injuries, he left with Fu Muyu and Yuan's mother. It's just this goodbye, but I don't know when I'll see you again.
At this time, the front of the Cangjia gate was still as solemn and calm as before, and the killing of Cangsheng was not widely spread. Thinking about it, the half-blind child also made people block the news.
"What are we going to do on the black market, it's early in the morning, Brother Yuan Huang?" Dao Jiu asked, obviously he couldn't understand why Yuan Huang was so eager.
Indeed, Yuan Huang was really anxious because he was worried about the safety of that Lingnu girl. He and the girl have been locked up together, they depend on each other for their lives, what will happen to her after she leaves? This is what makes Yuan Huang extremely worried. After getting along for a long time, he would have regarded the spirit slave as his sister, otherwise Yuan Huang would not have protected her.
"Go to my sister. Yuan Huang's face couldn't hide his excitement.
Li Huan smiled: "I didn't expect you to have a sister, but it's not like the three of us who are careless." ”
Yuan Huang smiled, last night he sorted out the number of Guiyuan liquid in the space jade talisman, a total of thirty-two bottles, which is not a lot. In the small place of Cangjun, thirty-two bottles of Guiyuan liquid are undoubtedly a huge amount of money.
Yuan Huang Cha took a look at the injuries in his body last night, it was indeed very severe, the entire spiritual source was completely broken, and the injury was serious, every time he used his spiritual power before the new spiritual source was formed, he would lose his spiritual root, and if his spiritual root was exhausted, he would really not be able to produce a spiritual source again. When you are too old and your spiritual roots wither and decay, then you will really become a waste person completely!
So now Yuan Huang's spiritual power can not be used, and he has to wait for a new spiritual source to be generated. This is also what the Cangsheng didn't expect, after all, Yuan Huang's destroyed spiritual source is not yet completely grown.
"That's it in front, Brother Yuan Huang, let's put this cloak on to avoid trouble. ”
Dao Jiu took out four black cloaks and gave them to Yuan Huang and the others, and put them on himself. Dao Jiu was indeed thoughtful, and it was indeed a danger for them to come here when they hadn't eliminated the slave seal.
Yuan Huang nodded and took the cloak, just enough to cover them all completely.
This is the black market, everything can be sold, pills, methods, weapons, slaves, etc., as long as there is value and someone bids, someone will sell it. The black market is not only unique to Cang County, almost every county has a black market, in the final analysis, the black market is still officially supported, after all, the income generated here is simply unimaginable.
And it's not uncommon to do something shady here. So even if the four of Yuan Huang wore cloaks, no one thought it was strange.
"Brother Yuanhuang, shall we go directly to the slave market?" asked Li Huan.
"Yes! Yuan Huang's heart couldn't wait, he was in agony at the thought of the torture he had suffered in that pitch-black cage before!
"Is the money enough? If you want to buy a spirit slave, you need at least hundreds of spirit crystals. Bai Feng asked.
Yuan Huang nodded: "I have thirty bottles of Guiyuan liquid, all of which were given to me by the blind brother, let's replace them, it's enough to think about it." ”
In addition to the Guiyuan liquid, there is some food and water in this space jade talisman for Yuan Huang's daily needs. I think this jade talisman was often used by the blind brother before.
"Multi-...... Many...... How much?" Li Huan was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, obviously he didn't expect Yuan Huang to have so much Guiyuan liquid.
Yuan Huang saw Li Huan's expression: "Isn't this enough?" After all, Yuan Huang had never replaced the spirit crystal. The spirit crystal is a spar containing spiritual power, which can be used for alchemy, cultivation, building magic circles, etc., and where spiritual power is needed, there can basically be a spiritual crystal to replace it. This is the universal currency here, and no one will dislike it.
"No, it's not enough, it's too much. Dao Jiu explained.
"One bottle of Guiyuan liquid can be exchanged for a hundred first-grade spirit crystals, that is, one second-grade spirit crystal, and it is definitely enough to exchange it for five bottles. ”
"Enough, enough, let's go to the pawn room. ”
Dao Jiu then took Yuan Huang and his party to an attic, and wrote the word "pawn". As the name suggests, this pawn shop is to exchange your own items for spirit crystals. Although the price is slightly lower than the market, it can be replaced immediately.
"Stinky beggar, go out, we don't collect waste here, go elsewhere and ask for food. Yuan Huang and the others hadn't entered the pawn room yet, only to see two guys coming out of it, one of them carrying an old man dressed as a Taoist priest on one side and carrying it out directly, and slammed it to the ground.
This Taoist priest has a scruffy beard, his face is full of wine, his hair is unkempt, and the gray sermon robe is covered with dust and oil stains, and only the Bagua Tai Chi pattern on it can be seen that this is a Taoist robe.
The sloppy Taoist priest held a half-broken peachwood sword in his left hand, and in his right hand was an iron wine gourd that was connected to his belt. I saw him stagger to stand up, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly overflowed with alcohol: "Change, why can't you change, this, this sword is a treasure......"
"Hmph, baby, where are you here, if you want to exchange money, you can take good things as collateral, I think your gourd is good, it should be worth a lot of spirit crystals. One of the juniors looked at the sloppy Taoist priest with a mocking expression.
"No, no, the gourd is not good, the sword is exchanged for wine to drink, and the wine is exchanged for ......" Hearing this, the sloppy Taoist priest quickly shook his head and inserted half of the wooden sword into the belt behind him. Raise your right hand, pout, and kiss the iron gourd.
"Goo-dong"
"Goo-dong"
......
After a few sips, with a satisfied face, he then lifted the wine gourd, and indeed no drop of wine flowed out.
"Let me change. ”
"Let me in. ”
After that, the sloppy Taoist priest was about to get up and rush in, but the two guys pushed the sloppy Taoist priest away.
"Take some fakes to fool people, the boss said, you are not allowed to come in the future, hurry up!"
The guy revealed a helpless look in his eyes, this Taoist priest came to exchange for some spirit crystals every three or five days, some of them were fakes, and this time he took this peach wood broken sword, blowing it all over the sky, and the boss was angry, and directly let them blow him out.
"I want wine"
"Wine"
"Huhuhu......"
The sloppy Taoist priest fell to the ground and shouted a few times, but no one paid attention to it, and actually leaned aside and fell asleep.
The four of Yuan Huang couldn't cry or laugh when they saw it, obviously they didn't expect to see this farce at the door.
"Guest officer, don't worry about this crazy Taoist, what do you want to see, we have everything here, a few of you, please." A guy with sharp eyes hurriedly came out to greet Yuan Huang and the four of them.
"Change some spirit crystals. ”
"Okay, you come with me. The fellow hurriedly led the way.
Yuan Huang nodded, followed the guy in, and when he passed by the sloppy Taoist priest, the guy kicked him: "Hey, crazy Taoist, go aside, don't get in the way of business!"
"Hmmm......"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
was kicked, and the Taoist priest didn't react, just turned over and continued to sleep, and even snoring even louder.
"Alas. The man shook his head and said no more, and then led Yuan Huang inside. When you enter the pawn room, there is a hole in the sky, which is divided into several layers, and each floor has a different role. There are different methods, pills, weapons, etc., and this building is indeed dedicated to replacing spirit crystals. There are so many small rooms for guests to use, absolutely private and safe.
"What do you want to change?" the guy asked, looking at Yuan Huang.
"Change a few bottles of Returning Liquid. ”
"How much?"
"Twenty bottles. ”
"Change so much?" Li Huan was surprised, he didn't expect Yuan Huang to change twenty bottles at a time.
"Hehe, I'm naturally useful. Yuan Huang smiled.
Li Huan and others no longer asked.
"Okay, come with me. After speaking, the guy took Yuan Huang into a room, as soon as he entered, it seemed to be completely isolated from the world, obviously there was a spiritual power enchantment in this room, which could isolate the noise.
"Later, I'll ask someone to come and appraise it. ”
With that, the man withdrew from the room. After a while, a white-haired old man walked in with him bent over.
Yuan Huang took out twenty bottles of Guiyuan liquid, the old man opened the bottle, sniffed it, and nodded. Then repeating one by one, after smelling the twenty bottles of Guiyuan liquid, he said to the guy: "It's all ordinary Guiyuan liquid." ”
"It's hard work, He Lao. The guy sent the old man out of the room. Then he took out 1,900 spirit crystals and handed them to Yuan Huang, who counted them and left immediately.
When he went out of the room, he also explained the situation to Li Huan and others.
I heard that Yuan Huang had replaced twenty bottles of Guiyuan Liquid with 1,900 first-grade spirit crystals, and the pawnshop charged five percent of the fee. For Yuan Huang, who was walking thirty bottles of Guiyuan liquid, it was not unacceptable. But Dao Jiu obviously didn't look like a bargain.
All he wants now is to save people quickly.
Seeing that Yuan Huang was so determined, Li Huan and the others could understand his feelings, so they didn't say anything more, and left the pawn shop and walked straight to the slave market.
"Wait. Yuan Huang spoke, looked back at the sloppy Taoist priest who was still unconscious at the door of the pawn room, Yuan Huang took out five spirit crystals and put them next to the sloppy Taoist priest.
Seeing this scene, Bai Feng and the others shook their heads, this Yuan Huang is kindness.
"Let's go. Yuan Huang got up and continued to move forward.
Walking to the door of the slave market, Yuan Huang shuddered when he saw the rows of black cloth-shrouded cages placed at the door. Walking into the slave market, Xiao Si immediately greeted him.
"How many adults, what do you want to see?" Xiao Si looked the four people up and down, although these four people looked short, but they didn't dare to speculate at will, after all, there were many people coming to the black market, and he was not surprised.
"I want to see Elder Li. Yuan Huang's voice was suppressed and hoarse, obviously not wanting to use his original voice to show people.
"Looking for Mr. Li? When Xiao Si heard this, he obviously knew that he was a regular customer, so he didn't say much, and took the four of Yuanhuang directly from the side road and entered a tea pavilion.
From the outside, it looks simple, but I didn't expect that there is an attic pavilion. Obviously, this Li Lao is also a person who can enjoy it.
"Elder Li, these four adults said they wanted to see you. Xiao Si said to the old man who was drinking tea in the gazebo.
The old man looked up, and Yuan Huang glanced at him from his cloak. At this glance, Yuan Huang's heart suddenly gave birth to a lot of emotions, anger, fear, and sorrow, all of which gushed out in an instant. But Yuan Huang couldn't do anything, he could only endure.
On the other hand, Li Huan was trembling slightly, I don't know if it was out of fear or hatred in his heart, obviously he had been tortured by many slave owners before.
That person was Li Lao, his small eyes were squinted, and he looked flattering: "A few guest officers, I want to see something rare, slaves, spirit beasts, mounts, especially female slaves have several excellent ones, they are all well trained, and they are guaranteed to satisfy you, hehe." ”
Seeing these people masked, Li Lao thought that he definitely wanted to buy some unique slaves, but he didn't want to reveal his identity. After all, many powerful people have some unique hobbies. Li Lao naturally also classified Yuan Huang and others into this category.
"No, I'll only buy one slave. Yuan Huang's voice was piercing.
As soon as he said this, Old Li's heart suddenly lost much interest, and the value of an ordinary little slave was really not high.
"Okay, come with me. Li Lao still didn't want to miss this business, put down the teacup, and took the four of Yuan Huang to turn left and right to the open space in the backyard, which was densely packed with cages covered by black cloth.
"So much. Dao Jiu muttered, deeply shocked by this amount.
"Hehe, I don't know what kind of spirit slave the guest wants, is it used for guarding, alchemy, or ......" That Li Lao smiled and waited for Yuan Huang and the others to answer.
Yuan Huang didn't hesitate: "A spirit slave who refines medicine." ”
"Lingnu?" Old Li's eyes narrowed, obviously he didn't expect to ask for a Lingnu.
"The price of a spirit slave is no better than that of an ordinary slave. Old Li's voice became heavier and lowered.
"Money is fine, the key is that I have to ask for the spirit slave I want. Yuan Huang's voice was calm.
"Okay, come with me. Li Lao took them directly past the many cages and came to the innermost two rows of cages. Yuan Huang stared at a large iron cage against the wall in the distance, which was the location of the cage where Yuan Huang had been imprisoned before, and the cage where his sister was held!
However, Yuan Huang didn't go directly there, so it was too obvious.
"What do you think of this?" Li Lao opened a cage, and suddenly the slaves inside began to tremble and fear. At this moment, the Yuan Huang people were shocked, obviously they had a similar experience.
"There are no younger ones. Yuan Huang glanced at it.
Elder Li nodded, and then continued to open a cage. Yuan Huang looked at it and continued to shake his head.
"Guest, you really want to take out all my darling. Li Lao smiled, and as he spoke, he opened the cage that Yuan Huang had been paying attention to. The cage opened, and at last I saw what it looked like, thick thatch, ragged children. These are all spirit slaves! Yuan Huang's gaze swept over, a spirit, no!
How could it not be!
"Look at it, there are a lot of good spirit slaves here, they are still young, and they are very suitable for refining spiritual power!" Li Lao is very confident, these spirit slaves are indeed suitable for being spirit slaves.
"No, I want a female spirit slave, younger. ”
"It's not a coincidence, it just happened that a few days ago I sold a good little spirit slave, and the guests came late, and this little female spirit slave is still not easy to find. ”
When Yuan Huang heard this, he secretly said something bad in his heart.
"Nothing else?"
"No, all the other young female spirit slaves are in this cage. ”
"Who did I sell it to? I can buy it back for a good price. Yuan Huang pretended to be calm.
Li Lao shook his head and showed a sincere smile: "We keep the identity of the guest secret and cannot pass it on." ”
Yuan Huang didn't say anything, and directly took out a handful of spirit crystals from the spatial jade talisman and handed it to Li Lao.
Li Lao took the spirit crystal, looked at Yuan Huang's immature hand, frowned slightly, and smiled.
"Hehe, the guest asked about it, naturally it was different, the female spirit slave was bought by a fat monk. ”
"Fat monk?" Yuan Huang wondered.
"That's right, he came to me and fell in love with that female spirit slave at a glance. ”
"Where did he go?" asked Yuan Huang.
"I don't know, those monks travel all over the world, who can know where they are going, but listening to the accent, it feels like the monk is from Changfeng City. ”
"Changfeng City. Yuan Huang was surprised, Changfeng City refers to the lord's fiefdom, the entire capital of Changfeng Territory.
"If you have work, I won't buy it today. After Yuan Huang finished speaking, he took out another handful of spirit crystals and handed them to Li Lao, "This is hard work, I have you for it." ”
Li Lao hurriedly took it, and suddenly the smile on his face became brighter, and he bowed: "Where is it, what should be done, that's okay, please." As he spoke, he led the way.
Yuan Huang and others then left the slave market. Walking out of the main gate, Yuan Huang let out a long breath, feeling like he had been reborn again.
Seeing Yuan Huang and the others leave, Na Xiao Si stood beside Li Lao: "Li Lao, who do you say they are? ”
"Hmph, whoever he is. Li Lao smiled, his eyes narrowed, "You say, they took the initiative to see me?"
"Yes. ”
"Yes, very good!"
