Chapter 66: A Night Visit to the Ghost Market (6)
Horses walk the post road, and ants walk the path. Without rules, it is difficult to make a circle.
In such a hidden ghost market, martial arts practitioners are aware of three unwritten rules:
One is a ghost market, there is no fight in the tavern, otherwise as long as a table and a chair are destroyed, it will disappear with the ghost market before dawn; there was a martial arts practitioner from Ningzhou, who made trouble after drinking by virtue of his advanced cultivation, and no one dared to provoke him at the scene, but the guy next to him just fought with him for a few moves, and he took this person away in full view. It is said that when he left the ghost market at dawn, the body of the cultivator hung on the flagpole on the side of the road, and decades later, when the deceased came to the ghost market, there was nothing left except for the shabby clothes still floating in the wind.
The martial arts cultivators who came here to drink naturally knew the preciousness of these wines, and from the furnishings of this tavern, they could also guess the power of the master behind the scenes. Therefore, in the tavern, except for those newcomers who are not open-minded, there is generally no one to make trouble.
The second rule of the ghost market is to see you in the field of life and death in any dispute. When you come to the ghost market, there will inevitably be situations such as snatching treasures and causing fights, but if martial arts practitioners are allowed to fight and kill in the ghost market at will, those martial arts practitioners with treasures with slightly lower cultivation will never dare to come to this ghost market again.
Therefore, a life and death field is set up in the remote part of the ghost market, where the two sides of the battle can be resolved, if the winning side can be protected by the ghost market, and leave safely before dawn, and the losing side can no longer entangle the other party. However, if there are fighters who refuse to settle in the field of life and death, then no one is responsible for the casualties caused by the two sides in the ghost market.
Bai Changyuan and his entourage were wishful thinking, how could Lao Dao and Qin Chuan not know.
If Bai Changyuan wins openly in the field of life and death, I am afraid that he will grow a lot of prestige in front of them; if Qin Chuan does not dare to respond, then Bai Changyuan can openly hunt down and kill the two in the ghost market. Unless they have a treasure on them, they can invite the guardian of the ghost city-Ghost Protection.
There are three rules in the ghost market, martial arts cultivation is a strong sect master, and the giants of the rivers and lakes can ignore the first two rules, they can kill people and destroy things in the tavern, and they can refuse invitations to life and death, everything is arbitrary, and no one dares to stop them.
The so-called ghost market rules are just formulated by the strong and followed by the weak.
Obviously, in Bai Changyuan's eyes, Qin Chuan and Lao Dao did not belong to the third type, they could only be forced to accept the way to settle the battle, otherwise they would be blatantly pursued and killed by so many people, and it was expected that the powerhouses of the Qiyuan realm would have a headache.
"Don't talk nonsense, fight early!" Hearing Lao Dao's arrogant words, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be overjoyed, wanting to see what Lao Dao was capable of dealing with Bai Changyuan and the others. If Lao Dao takes out the talisman seal, many people will definitely be red-eyed and cause more trouble, but in addition to the identity of the talisman master, can Lao Dao give other surprises?
From the large array of the White Deer Academy, to the Heaven Replenishing Pill and other things, Qin Chuan vaguely guessed that Lao Dao must not be as simple as the main thing of a wilderness nameless Taoist temple, but Lao Dao didn't take the initiative to talk about it, and no matter how much wine he drank, he wouldn't confide in his heart.
Therefore, Qin Chuan saw that Lao Dao actually took the initiative to accept and want to duel with Bai Changyuan and his party in the field of life and death, thinking that he could just take a look at Lao Dao's true ability, and he also had a bottom in his heart, what kind of realm Lao Dao was, otherwise he would provoke some people in the future, and Lao Dao would not be able to protect himself at that time.
However, after waiting for a long time, the pear charcoal in the stove was almost burned out, and Lao Tao still meditated motionlessly. The man with the short gun couldn't stand it, and felt that Lao Dao was playing tricks, so he took a step forward and asked: "I said, since you have a battle in the field of life and death, why don't you move." ”
Hearing this, Lao Dao said slowly: "If I make a move, it will definitely be an old bully, and I won't have face if I win, it just so happens that you have had a relationship before, so it's better to solve it now." After Lao Dao finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Chuan, obviously saying this to Qin Chuan.
Hearing this, Qin Chuan realized that Lao Dao had promised this competition for himself.
Maybe it was because he drank four pots of wine, Qin Chuan was a little drunk, and at this moment he also said proudly: "Okay, since you should accept it, I don't want to lose the other party's face." It's just a matter of learning one or two, and Big Brother Bai also asks his subordinates to be merciful. ”
At this time, the man with the short spear looked at the old man with the sword box on his back with some fear, turned to Bai Changyuan and said, "Isn't it strange to promise you so easily." I've checked the aura fluctuations around here, and that young man seems to be in the realm of synaesthesia, why can't you clean him up, aren't you lying?"
Bai Changyuan hurriedly explained: "Liu Qing...... Senior Brother Liu, this kid's exercises are a little weird, you will know when the time comes. Bai Changyuan replied respectfully, not daring to refute anything. Just because this man known as Senior Brother Liu is the illegitimate son of an elder of our sect, relying on this relationship, his martial arts cultivation is profound, and he is supported as a leader among this group of people.
Seeing that Lao Dao and Qin Chuan agreed, Liu Qing was no longer entangled, and said, "Two of you, please." Then he left the tavern and walked to the right. It's really high-sounding, but it's actually arrogant.
When several people in the tavern heard that there was about to be a fight between life and death, they also hurried to finish the last glass of wine, or ran out with the small stove in their arms, for fear of missing something wonderful. In the life and death field of the ghost market, he tried his best to survive, and some of the exercises, although they were just a glance, were enough to gain a lot.
......
The scene of life and death in the ghost market is located five hundred steps behind the right side of the tavern. This is a barren place, about 40 paces in circumference, with a lot of weeds growing next to it, and a lot of bricks and bricks in between. It was the quietest place in the night market, but I never thought that it would be so lively tonight, it was already full of people inside and out, and I didn't know who had already prepared horse lanterns, candles and other things, and the scene in the field was faintly visible.
Located in the middle of the field of life and death, is Bai Changyuan, who has won all three battles, has already gained a little fame, I heard that he is the son of a big family in Bazhou, so that the mandarin duck knife in one hand, his own martial arts cultivation is not weak.
Standing opposite Bai Changyuan, a man who was more than four feet tall, listening to the voice, it seemed to be a young man, but he didn't know why he angered Bai Changyuan and the others. But seeing him standing in the field of life and death without saying a word, he has the pride that a young hero should have, as well as a little bit of alcohol.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and I saw Bai Changyuan pull out the mandarin duck double knife, step on the loess, and rush towards Qin Chuan. The people next to him saw that his figure was too fast, and he only heard the sound of his robe in the wind, and with the cover of the night, it was like a black crossbow arrow being shot. Looking at Bai Changyuan's momentum, which was even more fierce than the offensive at the place where he landed in the river atlas, it could be seen that Bai Changyuan had no reservations in the field of life and death.
However, Qin Chuan was blown by the wind, and the wine began to wake up, regretting the big and accepting the battle of life and death. A person who has not reached the realm of synaesthesia, how can he fight Bai Changyuan. However, Qin Chuan didn't seem to know that Bai Changyuan had already started first, and he was still standing in place, motionless.
When the person next to him saw it, he also said with some regret: "Drinking is harmful." Seeing that the boy drank too much, he didn't even want his life. ”
Some martial arts practitioners felt that the outcome was decided, and they said hello to the surrounding area, and were about to leave.
After all, this ghost market has been open for a few years, so you can't waste time here.
