Chapter 44: The Black Market of Gu Drugs
When Heng opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the bed in the room, and he was stunned for a long time before he remembered what had happened before.
Turning his head to look at the table in the center of the room, he saw Mu Ling looking at himself in a daze.
"Before, thank you." Heng sat up from the couch with his body propped up. Although he didn't know much about the condition in his body before, he also understood that Mu Ling saved him. - I really underestimated Na Lianfeng at the beginning.
"Hmm." As if awakened by Heng's words, Mu Ling replied softly. Now there is no such separation with him.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"All day." Mu Ling had left the table as she spoke, pushing open the wooden window, and only then did Heng Yi find that the light outside the window had become dim.
"It's just the right time, let's go, I'll take you to see something interesting." Mu Ling said suddenly, and there was some joy in her tone. Heng Yi didn't know why for a while, and he didn't think about it, nodded and followed Mu Ling out of the door.
After the two of them had a simple meal, Mu Ling took Heng Yi to a place on the outskirts of the city. Mu Ling seemed to be very familiar with this place, but before that, she had been imprisoned in the Medicine King Beigu, and Heng Yi couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Didn't you come here before?" ”
However, I saw Mu Ling shaking her head: "No, but ......" and listened to her continue: "I was very familiar with this place before I came......"
Seeing that Heng Yi looked a little confused, Mu Ling explained: "It's not an exaggeration to say that all the world's... As long as it's related to this...... I am very familiar with it, after all, I have spent a lot of effort to study the classics of mountain geography...... So I know exactly where there is and where it is. ”
Listening to Mu Ling's words, Heng Yi suddenly had an ominous premonition, he seemed to understand what Mu Ling meant by "interesting" and "whether there is any" before, and he now regretted following her out.
"Here we are." While the two were talking, they had unconsciously arrived at their destination. This is located on the outskirts of Yanwang City, the Arctic continent is originally cold, because of the harsh environment, the population is much less than any other continent, even the royal city is not as lively as the general big city, not to mention the suburbs, plus the night, Heng originally thought that this place was desolate, but this is not the case.
At this time, on the outskirts of the city, a brightly lit field, noisy buying and selling, endless, extremely lively, a narrow but endless street market appeared in front of Heng's eyes, this scene was really beyond Heng's expectations, he even felt that this was his own hallucination.
"How? Great place, right? Mu Ling looked at Heng Yi with a little smugness. The two of them walked into the crowd of people in the market, looking at the rows of bottles and cans neatly placed in front of the shops on both sides of the street, Heng Yi already understood the general idea in his heart, and was even more convinced that his previous guess was correct.
"So this is a poison night market?" Heng Yi Dao.
"To be exact, it's the Gu Poison Black Market!" Mu Ling said, "Yanwang City is one of the few cities in the entire Arctic Continent that specializes in Gu poison, Yanwang City has the reputation of Gu City in history, and this street market in front of you is the largest Gu poison market in the city, I heard that it was there a hundred years ago, it can be said to have a long history, think about it, every time at dusk, on the reckless wasteland, the lights converge into a river across the night sky, these like-minded people gather here to buy and trade, how romantic it is......"
Seeing Mu Ling's longing on her face, Heng couldn't help but feel a little helpless, every time he talked about Gu poison, he was so excited, it seemed that he was really ruthless in the valley at the beginning.
"I have long heard that the Gu drug black market here is very famous, but now I can see it with my own eyes, the scale of this black market is even larger than I imagined, it seems that this trip was not in vain."
Heng Yi followed Mu Ling and stopped, listening to her comments, and the words were all inseparable from the insect poison in her heart, and Heng Yi was terrified when he heard it.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in front of her, and Mu Ling's curiosity rose, and she separated the flow of people and came to a store.
But in front of a sandalwood table, a bronze tripod was placed on it, and an old man with a purple beard was sitting in front of it, obviously the owner of the shop. Heng faintly sensed a strange aura coming from the small ding.
And the people around kept raising their hands to bid, one after another, endlessly, as if an auction was being conducted, and it seemed that the things in the copper tripod were in good demand.
Heng Yi looked at Mu Ling's side, wanting to see her expression. However, she did not pay any attention to the thing in front of the table, but instead stared at the rows of wooden shelves behind the old man, which were filled with colorful jade altars.
The bidding voice slowly lowered, seeing that no one was shouting the price, the purple-bearded old man tapped his palm, even if the deal was reached, he smiled and handed over the copper tripod in front of the case to the one with the highest price, obviously the price of the copper tripod made him very satisfied.
Just when the dust had settled and everyone was about to disperse, a childish voice sounded, "With such a gadget, can it cause a scramble?" Sir, do you have anything more decent than this? ”
This is a bit unkind to say, the purple-bearded old man is also a bit famous in this black market, he has played Gu for most of his life, and he is also quite respected, how can anyone ever say such things to him.
And the purple-bearded old man who was the party was naturally a little unhappy. Eyes slowly move to the source of the sound.
Seeing that everyone was looking at the two of them, Heng Yi frowned, for no other reason, it was because the person who spoke out before was Mu Ling! Heng didn't expect Mu Ling to cause trouble like this, but she was not in the world.
"Who would dare to ridicule Old Man Ruan, it turned out to be a doll...... but heard a burst of laughter from the crowd.
The purple-bearded old man known as Old Man Ruan was named Ruan Zhao, and he was a "big family" who lived in this black market, and he also had some prestige in the local area.
Ruan Zhao followed the prestige, but saw a little girl who was only half the height of the crowd standing in front of him, and immediately shook his head, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared completely, Ruan Zhao just smiled: "Where did the female doll come from, dare to come to this kind of place at night, go home quickly, if it's late, beware of going home and your father and mother will beat you!" ”
The crowd burst into laughter again.
"If the old gentleman can come up with something decent, I'll go." Mu Ling pouted, as if she didn't care about the laughter.
Seeing that this little girl seemed to be lying here and not leaving, Ruan Zhao was also a little helpless, and estimated that this little guy wanted to see the appearance of the Gu worm out of curiosity for a while.
On that side, Heng Yi had pulled the corner of Mu Ling's clothes many times. After all, Heng Yi is still a little worried, it was originally two children, it is a little inappropriate to come here, and now it is causing disputes, I am afraid that it will attract people with intentions to plot against him, plus Mu Ling's outstanding appearance makes Heng Yi even more worried.
Mu Ling was determined to see "decent things", and did not respond to Heng's small actions at all.
Ruan Zhao sighed, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Okay, I'll show you a great one today, grandpa, but I'm going to go home after reading it, so don't make any more trouble." ”
Saying that, Ruan Zhao leaned over and took out a cyan jade box from under the table, and said in a matter-of-fact manner while putting it on the table: "Look, this is amazing!" I'll stay away a little later, you have to keep a little distance from these poisons, and it's not fun to get hurt. ”
Ruan Zhao cautiously opened the lid of the box, but saw a black insect poking its head out of it, looking inconspicuous, everyone immediately understood that Ruan Zhao was bluffing, just bluffing the little girl in front of him.
However, when Mu Ling took out the jade box from him, he knew how weak the guy inside was just by induction......
Mu Ling looked at the little insect in the jade box with lonely eyes, sighed lightly, picked up the jade box directly, and stared at the black insect without saying a word.
Ruan Zhao was not afraid of accidents, all because what he took out was a non-lethal Gu worm.
But what happened next was much more than he expected!
Mu Ling and the little worm looked at each other, and when there was silence, the little worm's black and oily body trembled slightly, and suddenly spewed out a black Gu breath, and a cloud of smoke hit Mu Ling's façade!
Everyone present was shocked, they never thought that this kind of change would happen, looking at the girl's plain face, they couldn't help but feel sorry for it, now, I am afraid that the whole face will be ruined.
Ruan Zhao on the side was even more anxious, although this was a child in front of him, the clothes he was wearing were extremely exquisite, and his temperament was extraordinary, I was afraid that it was not an ordinary child, if it was investigated afterwards......
Alas, he didn't want to get into trouble inexplicably, obviously she was given a dormant bug, how did she know that it suddenly revived at this time......
However, what happened next was shocking again-Mu Ling was not panicked in the face of the attacking Gu breath, and even her expression did not change, her lips opened lightly, and she exhaled lightly, with a little gold between her breath, obviously mixed with Qi Li.
That aura was in contact with the Gu breath head-on! Something incredible happened—under the impact of the golden aura, the Gu breath collapsed and disappeared like fire meets water!
Then the golden slam hit the Gu worm, and I saw that the little worm kicked its legs under the shroud of golden light, and the next moment it was motionless.
There was silence all over the room, and everyone didn't expect things to turn so quickly.
"Boring." Mu Ling broke the silence lightly.
That Ruan Zhao obviously didn't expect this situation, and was so excited by Mu Ling's words that his face turned red and turned white......
Laughter began to come from the crowd, and this time it was all aimed at Ruan Zhao: "Old man Ruan, where is the Gu worm you took out, it's obviously a cricket, you can't bluff a doll, hahaha......"
Ruan Zhao had a good face, listening to the laughter of everyone, his face couldn't hold it anymore, and he became blushing and his neck was thick in an instant, and he was also enthusiastic for a while, and he actually got angry with Mu Ling.
"Okay, if you want to see it, then I'll fulfill you!" Ruan Zhao's words revealed a ruthlessness, and Heng Yi on the side was a little shocked when he heard it, and he couldn't help but sweat for Mu Ling.
"The best." Mu Ling is still angry and doesn't pay for her life.
Ruan Zhao exhaled a long breath, as if to calm his emotions, and then turned around and took a jade altar from the top of the wooden frame. During the whole process, Mu Ling's eyes were staring at Ruan Zhao's movements, as if she was afraid of missing something.
Mu Ling stared at the jade altar, suddenly her eyes condensed, and she said in her heart: "That's right! That's it, I only vaguely felt it before, and now it'...... But you can't be wrong! ”
