The horse shopkeeper is like an ant on a hot pot, and his head has begun to sweat a lot. I remember that many medicinal materials were wet before, and I couldn't deliver the goods to dozens of old customers, and the shopkeeper was not so nervous tonight.

These two people looked so calm, as if they were as cunning as the rivers and lakes, and they obviously came for money. However, in the afternoon, Zhou Youliang put a lot of money on the table, thinking that this matter is in the past, I can't imagine that now someone is already hearing the wind and knocking on the bamboo pole, this is really too deceitful, but I don't know what kind of martial arts cultivation these two people have, otherwise they will drag the two of them one or two, and they will be dealt with tomorrow.

The shopkeeper began to wonder in his heart, did these two people come to Zhou Youliang to intimidate him?

But if these two people really came for the entrance of the ghost market, why didn't they come in in a low voice in a black robe like everyone else, but were so open-minded, talking calmly without a stubble, it seemed that the two of them did not shy away from their whereabouts, could there be an internal response outside?

After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't understand, but the shopkeeper was still not at ease, so he picked up the teacup again and took a sip to stabilize his mind, and asked slowly: "Two Taoist leaders, how much money do you think is appropriate?" ”

Qin Chuan saw that the shopkeeper had already spoken, and knew that there must be a drama at the entrance of the ghost market, and since the shopkeeper had already asked for money, it was to find a suitable price.

But there really was no silver on the two of them. Mr. Yu, who went to visit the Dongfu Dart Bureau before, exhausted the silver money accumulated by Qin Chuan; now he has lived in the Tongfu Inn for ten days, and Lao Dao has also spent a lot of money, not to mention that the two have been busy with other things in Qingzhou City, and there has never been a red and white happy event.

"Shopkeeper Ma, since we are here, we must know the market, don't cheat us, you say a silver coin, if the big guys are satisfied, we will naturally take the things and leave, no two words. Qin Chuan didn't say it to death, but said it casually, like an adult, so that people didn't know what Qin Chuan's bottom line was. After all, Lao Dao went to the ghost market a few decades ago, and Qin Chuan didn't know the market of martial arts rivers and lakes, so he couldn't follow someone else's Tao here and let the horse shopkeeper speak.

The shopkeeper glanced at the two of them, and slightly regretted letting the two in, since he dared to say such a thing, he must have been prepared, if he couldn't send the two of them satisfied, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get over tonight. And he was only given five hundred taels of silver by Zhou Youliang this afternoon, and he was already distressed. Although he received a lot of silver money from the entrance of the ghost market of martial arts cultivators tonight, the shopkeeper was not willing to admit it at this moment. If people can see at a glance that they are wealthy, then they will be in trouble that they can't get rid of.

Listening to the meaning of the words of the two, they should really come here for this matter.

The shopkeeper was absentmindedly roasting the fire, and he was not in a hurry to answer, but secretly glanced at Lao Dao and Qin Chuan, gritted his teeth in his heart and said: "Two hundred taels of silver, I don't know if the two Taoist masters are satisfied, otherwise, even if you kill me, then I can't take it out." ”

After Qin Chuan heard this, he was also slightly surprised, how many red and white ceremonies he had to receive with the old Taoist to earn it back. If they have this money, what kind of martial arts will the two of them take, go directly to the outskirts of the city to buy a few fields, build a house, and they can be rich for a lifetime.

Qin Chuan scolded this shopkeeper for being too dark, and he dared to ask for two hundred taels of silver, but he didn't dare to easily annoy this person: "Shopkeeper Ma, it's not easy for us to come here today, if it's two hundred taels of silver, this is really unwilling." The martial arts rivers and lakes have the rules of the martial arts rivers and lakes, and we can't break the rules. If you look at this money, can you discuss it or two? Qin Chuan's words were sincere, quite sincere, and he didn't say anything like he said at such an age.

However, this is not what it sounds like to the shopkeeper.

It seems that the other party does know something, otherwise he is so confident in the silver money, and he is still not satisfied with the amount of two hundred taels. The shopkeeper frowned, thinking about what amount to use to make the two leave as soon as possible.

The shopkeeper got up, added a few more pieces of pear charcoal, and reheated the water, and after a while it rumbled and steamed, which was the only sound in the silent room, and the shopkeeper stayed with the two of them, and could only hear the gasping of a few people.

After being embarrassed for a long time, the shopkeeper made up his mind, only to see him support his forehead with his hand, exhaled heavily, seemed to be tired, and gritted his teeth in the blink of an eye and said: "Everyone, how about three hundred taels of silver? My medicinal herb shop is a small business, and it really can't withstand a loss-making transaction, if you are not satisfied, I can only ......." The shopkeeper guessed that if he was not satisfied with the three hundred taels of silver, he could only stabilize the two people first, and then find the cultivators in the martial arts rivers and lakes to discuss the long-term, but the amount of silver paid was more than this amount, and if there was no other way but to move to other places to avoid the limelight, it seems that this world is about to be in chaos, otherwise how could there be such a person, who came to the door in the middle of the night.

From two hundred taels to three hundred taels, Qin Chuan was also very puzzled, he couldn't imagine that there was a store with such a price increase, and he forcibly added one hundred taels of silver. Qin Chuan calculated carefully, and added one hundred taels of silver, which is the price of ten acres of land, which is already the strength of the whole family for several generations for the people of Qingzhou City.

Although the entrance to the ghost market is difficult to find, you must ask for a horse shopkeeper, but such a sky-high asking price, it is really too bullying, Lao Dao and Qin Chuan are dressed like this, how can they be like everyone sects or rich and noble families, so Qin Chuan replied with a little annoyance: "Ma shopkeeper, you are really too deceitful, we are not rich people, but we just want to go to the ghost market to find something, why do you offer such an offer?" Although you are the connector of the ghost market, but like this, if you let the people in the ghost market know, you will not be much better, right?"

Hearing that the other party was coming for the ghost market, the stone in the heart of the horse shopkeeper fell to the ground, and the forehead that had been tight began to stretch out, and he took a breath with the teacup, and slowly tasted the tea, thinking that he was too loud and almost paid a lot of money. However, since these two people are here for the entrance to the ghost market, if they can't make a profit, wouldn't they be worried in vain? Besides, most of the people who enter the ghost market are either rich or expensive, although these two people are dressed ordinarily, they must have a lot of money, otherwise they would not be so calm and relaxed.

Wanting to do this, the shopkeeper put down the teacup, inserted his hands into the cuffs, leaned slightly, and said slowly: "What kind of ghost market? I have never heard of this place, you were waiting at the door before, thinking that you came for the precious pills of the medicinal herb shop, at this time the weather is changeable, and there are often people who occasionally feel the wind and cold, I have imported a lot of medicinal materials from Anzhou before, which is very effective, so I sold it to you at a price of two hundred taels of silver." As for the other things you said, I heard that I was in a fog, probably in the wrong place. ”

Lao Dao, who was staying next to the fire, suddenly took out a wooden plaque, which was beautifully carved, and it didn't seem to be an imitation, which was given by Yu Li, the eldest prince of the Dongfu Dart Bureau. Lao Dao handed over the wooden sign and said to the shopkeeper: "Someone gave us this thing, you should recognize it." ”

Lao Dao was roasting the fire next to him before, and he didn't say a word, it was Qin Chuan and the horse shopkeeper who were circling around. At this moment, he suddenly took out the wooden card, and the horse shopkeeper looked at Lao Dao seriously at this moment. At this moment, Lao Dao's face is ruddy, his hands are very comfortable with charcoal fire, and he has a strong smell of wine, but he is not a drunkard.

When the shopkeeper saw this wooden card, he quickly followed it with both hands, took a serious look at both sides, and then got up without saying a word to lift the wooden collapse next to him, and groped for a while in it to turn something, and after a while, a hole appeared under the wooden collapse, and the black and swarthy did not know where to go.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan and Lao Dao were very curious, and they didn't expect that there was a dark room in the inner room of the horse shopkeeper. Seeing that there was only one pair of shoes in the couch of the horse shopkeeper before, Qin Chuan began to be curious, this horse shopkeeper is such a rich person, but there are no female dependents in this room, it is simply abnormal.

For the general wealthy businessman and giant master in Qingzhou City, which one is not three wives and four concubines, so after Qin Chuan entered the inner room, although he was curious, he didn't open his mouth to ask, and saw the horse shopkeeper open the dark room, thinking that it was the place where the golden house was hidden, Qin Chuan's face turned red at the moment, and he was afraid to go down and see Gentle Township and other places, so he stayed far away and didn't know what to do.

Lao Dao is a person who has seen the world, got up and lit the torch with a fire fold, kicked Qin Chuan and said: "Rabbit cub, what are you doing here, hurry up and go down with the shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper also waited for a long time at this moment, and seeing that Lao Dao and Qin Chuan did not follow, he leaned out half of his body and urged: "You still don't want to go to the ghost market, otherwise don't disturb my rest, leave quickly." ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan immediately jumped up, followed behind the old road, got out of the dark room, closed the cover of the couch with his hand, and walked slowly forward by the light of the torches.

It turned out that under the couch, dozens of steps had been carved out, and on the smooth walls, there were several oil lamps, arranged in a staggered manner. The shopkeeper motioned to Lao Dao to use torches to light all these oil lamps, and after a while, Qin Chuan and Lao Dao saw the whole picture of the secret room.

After walking along the stairs for a while, I reached the bottom of the secret room, and at this moment I realized that there was a long passage in the secret room, and there was no end in sight in the night. There are also a lot of small holes next to the corridor, presumably for ventilation.

Lao Dao held a torch, explored the road as he walked, and looked around and began to be vigilant. Although there are a lot of oil lamps here, but there is still no end in sight, only a gray patch, Qin Chuan followed behind and asked: "Ma Zhang, where is this front? I'm afraid we're going to the ghost market tonight, right?"

Listening to Qin Chuan's tone, it didn't seem to be a joke, the shopkeeper held a bowl of oil lamps from the wall, and looked at the two of them again: "The ghost market is only open at fifteen, and it's only fourteen, what are you anxious about? Since you have this token, you should know its meaning, but now you ask me, didn't you pick up this token? Now I will take you to meet someone, wait a minute, don't make a noise, ask what you answer." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Qin Chuan replied after Lao Dao. Hearing that he wanted to see someone, Qin Chuan began to muttered in his heart, this shopkeeper secretly carved out a secret room in the bustling place of Qingzhou City, things will definitely not be so simple, but the shopkeeper walked in front, and Qin Chuan was inconvenient to ask anything.

Suddenly, a wall appeared in front of the corridor, and it seemed that the secret room had come to an end, and the old Taoist raised the torch forward, but he still didn't see any difference. The walls look very smooth, but there is already a lot of moss growing on it, and it seems that this secret room is not completely enclosed, otherwise there would be no water dripping down to nourish the moss.

The shopkeeper stood in front of the wall, but he was familiar with the road, and from the right wall of the side corridor, a bowl of oil lamps was turned, and with a heavy sound slowly coming from inside, the wall in front of him began to move.

It turned out to be a stone wall, but in the dark, it blended in with the surroundings. Looking at the thickness of this stone gate, even a strong person with a spirit gathering is helpless.

Qin Chuan saw that the wall was open, poked his head and looked inside, and found that it was pitch black inside, and it seemed to be a long road.

The shopkeeper went in first, and said to the two people behind him: "You wait for me here, and I will go back when I go." After that, he disappeared in the darkness, leaving only Qin Chuan and Lao Dao waiting here.

Qin Chuan looked around, watched the oil lamp on the wall flicker, touched the heavy stone door, and asked Lao Dao: "This horse shopkeeper has made such a secret room in Qingzhou City, it seems that he is not just the receiver of the ghost market." What do you see?"

Lao Dao's eyes were still staring at the place where the shopkeeper disappeared, and he said with some puzzlement: "With such a large capital, it must cost a lot of money, if it is used to exchange for wine and drink...... It seems that this ghost market is quite profitable, otherwise a small person who responds can be rich and rich here. "It seems that Lao Dao is also amazed by the secret realm here.

"That's not it, you will ask for two hundred taels of silver when you open your mouth, which is business, it is clearly robbery. If we have that money, we will go to the ghost market to make some fun. Qin Chuan was a little indignant about the shopkeeper.

The people of Qingzhou City, the silver money consumed in a year, is only twenty taels, if you talk about the balance of two hundred taels of silver, it can be said that it is a rich and noble family in Qingzhou City. Even in the Dongfu Dart Bureau and other dart places, if you take out two hundred taels of silver coins rashly, it may be a little difficult. However, it seems that Lao Dao is willing to spend dozens of taels of silver to buy the four treasures of the study made in Huizhou for Qin Chuan, and it seems that he also spent a lot of coffin books.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the darkness, and after a while, the horse shopkeeper came out from behind the stone door and whispered to the two of them: "The one from the ghost market is inside, you go in and talk, I will leave first without waiting for you." If you are done talking, go back the way you came, and you will be able to reach the place where we came from. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan and Lao Dao held torches and walked towards the dark front......
