184. Questioning
There was no one in the hall on the first floor, but Li Zimu was not in a hurry to go up to the hall on the second floor, but wandered around the first floor for a while, and a faint nostalgia came to his heart, this place no longer belonged to him, although he used to be the master here.
In the infernal world, the heart is in the paradise. This is the original intention of the establishment of the ghost market, although it was still in the prosperous period of Yongle, but he had already expected the decline of the prosperous world, so he established a paradise belonging to the people of the rivers and lakes in this deserted place.
Shi An was not a smart child, Li Zimu was less than ten years old when he picked him up, and he was almost eaten by wolves when he fell hungry in the wilderness, so Li Zimu saved him, and he couldn't speak at that time.
A ten-year-old child, who couldn't speak, Li Zimu checked his body, and there was no major problem, just a long-term malnutrition that caused him to be weak.
Li Zimu took care of him like his father, taught him to read and write, and urged him to practice, but the latter's talent was not high, but the only thing was that Shi An was obedient to Li Zimu, so Li Zimu was very relieved of him and let him follow him for decades.
Before leaving, Li Zimu warned Shi An not to add any more buildings to the ghost market, and not to take away the furnishings inside.
I didn't expect that after six hundred years, I don't know what method Shi An used, but he was able to extend this admonition for six hundred years, until today Li Zimu entered the ghost market again, he found that everything here has not changed, originally he thought that the ghost market had long disappeared in history with time, but he didn't think about it, but no, the biggest credit for this is the child who couldn't speak at the age of ten, Shi An.
"Sir, but the one who won the Eye of Heaven in the previous auction?" Just as Li Zimu was still immersed in his memories, a voice behind him forcefully pulled him back to reality.
Li Zimu turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a fanged mask standing on the stairs looking at him, the latter's cloak was gone.
"Exactly, I don't know when the Eye of Heaven will be able to get to the ghost market?" Li Zimu nodded and said, directly explaining the topic, he was not interested in what kind of face and age the person under the mask was, since this place no longer belonged to him, no matter how sorry he was, it would be useless to regret it.
"Congratulations in advance to Mr. for getting the key to open the treasure of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know if Mr. needs manpower? My subordinates in the ghost market seem to be very good on weekdays, if Mr. needs people to enter the secret realm, just say it" The ghost king said with a smile, his tone revealing a slow sincerity.
"Don't bother with the ghost king, I have my own way" Li Zimu said lightly, this person is a little interesting, he didn't dare to fight the idea of the family, but put his mind on him, the buyer.
"That's it?Then forget it......" The ghost king said regretfully, this person's face and voice made him feel very unfamiliar, he knew most of the forces in the rivers and lakes of Huaxia, this person should not be a person from the sect he knew, but I don't know if he used the Shadowless Silkworm Mask? After all, he knew about Li Zimu's previous photographing of the Shadowless Silkworm Mask.
"When will the other party hand over?" Li Zimu said with a smile, he didn't care much about other things, he just wanted to get the Eye of Heaven quickly and unlock the secrets on his body.
"Twenty days later," the ghost king nodded and said, there is no way for him to decide this kind of handover, it depends on the seller's intentions, he is just responsible for passing on the information.
"So late?" Li Zimu asked with a frown, he originally thought that it would only take a few days, but he didn't expect it to take so long.
"The other party set a time, we can't do it, Mr. can choose to live in the ghost market for a while, or wait for twenty days to come back again," the ghost king said with a smile.
"I'll come back then," Li Zimu hesitated and said, twenty days is not long or short, and it is not interesting to stay here, just take advantage of this time to go to Bohai Bay, chasing the stars and running to the moon and the sun have been found.
The reason why the time is so tight is that he has his own considerations, I am afraid that after the Eye of Heaven unlocks the secrets on his body, he will have no other thoughts to think about other things.
"Okay, I'll inform the above when the time comes" The Ghost King nodded and said, since this person didn't want to stay longer, he had no reason to stop him, and he originally thought that he could use this time to observe this person's identity and strength, but the latter was more cautious than he thought.
"I have a doubt, I want the ghost king to answer it for you" Li Zimu thought for a while and said, since the matter of the Eye of Heaven had been finalized, he put his mind at ease, but there was still a doubt in his heart, and only the ghost king knew the answer.
"Oh, I want to hear it," said the Ghost King, slowly descending the stairs.
"When I was outside Qiankun Road before, I saw a few people in tunics, these people should be from the imperial court, right? As far as I know, the ghost market has never dealt with the imperial court," Li Zimu looked at the ghost king and said, as if he wanted to see his face through the fanged mask.
"Are you questioning me?" the ghost king said gloomily, as if he was questioning him, making him feel a little angry in his heart.
"I don't dare, it's just that I am like a tiger, I want to remind you kindly" Li Zimu arched his hand and said, there is an inherent contradiction between the imperial court and the ghost market, isn't this ghost king clear about this? Although this place no longer belongs to him, he still doesn't want the ghost market to fall into the hands of the imperial court.
"Thank you for reminding me, I naturally know the relationship between them, the ghost market has been standing for six hundred years, and this little bit of power is still clear" The ghost king said indifferently, the people from Zhongnanhai, of course he knew, because there were some transactions between them.
"In that case, then I won't bother" Li Zimu nodded and said, then raised his feet and walked outside, after so many alternations of power, he saw more deeply than anyone else, the imperial court would never tolerate the existence of threats to their rights.
Out of Fengyun Tower, Li Zimu looked at the time, it was already early in the morning, but the sky was late here, and the sun did not come out, and the streets were still full of people coming and going, but it was much less than before, and the ghost market could not go out if it was not time, and there were naturally inns and hotels here for people to rest.
From time to time, I see a team of four or five people patrolling the streets, their job is to stabilize the order inside the ghost market during the opening time, although most of the people who come here have some effort, but everyone will give the people of the ghost market a face.
