22nd palm
The four of them walked down the stairs leading to the underground black market for five minutes, and then they came to the end, passing through the dim tunnel that emitted moisture, and suddenly their eyes suddenly opened up.
The wide, smooth streets are lit by lanterns, and along the streets, small stalls are laid out one after another, and all kinds of beads, jade, copper, iron, and even defective products, as well as some unknown fragments and other things, are all over the place.
"This street is called Duobao Street, and the mess of things on these small vendors is real and fake, and some even the vendors themselves don't know how much they are worth, and some people always like to shop for treasures on this street to try their luck, and maybe they can find something valuable." Tang Yan was in a good mood and explained to the two sisters and brothers that every time she came here, she was in a good mood, because this was the right place for her.
"Miss, I heard that someone found a book on Duobao Street yesterday, a book by a martial honorable powerhouse commenting on cultivation. The stall owner was a businessman who couldn't cultivate, and he didn't understand this, so he sold it cheaply. "Lu Ning will report the news to her master as soon as she has time.
Tang Yan nodded, she noticed that when Lu Ning said the comment of the martial powerhouse, the eyes of the two egret Bai Cheng sisters and brothers widened for a moment, and their mouths opened slightly, they were surprised that there was such a rare treasure here! You know, it was Wuzun's comment, if they got it and had the privilege of watching it, it would definitely be very inspiring for their cultivation.
"But in the end, the martial artist who bought the book died outside as soon as he left the underground black market." The addition of green condensation made the two foreign sisters and brothers stunned, and their hearts sank, the price of getting the treasure was to lose their lives? This kind of windfall is really not easy to take.
"Probably because he is too flamboyant, you must know that his wealth is not exposed, he is too high-profile before he has enough strength, and it is normal to die." Tang Yan said lightly, listening to Lu Ning's words, she already roughly knew what the situation was at that time.
"That's right, Miss, you're right, that martial artist was so happy when he bought the treasure, he laughed and shouted to attract a lot of people's attention, there are many treasures on Duobao Street, and his actions told others that he found a treasure, so as soon as someone investigated, what he bought was discovered, that kind of thing that many people want, so as soon as he left the underground and returned to it, he was killed."
Lu Ning's calm expression really made Bai Egret Bai Cheng look at each other differently, when they first met Tang Yan's personal maid, she was just a gentle and enthusiastic ordinary maid, but now, what she said made the two of them have an unfathomable impression of this seemingly ordinary maid.
Even a maid is unfathomable, so is Tang Yan, the owner of this maid, still a simple thirteen-year-old girl who was innocent and lively before?
Unconsciously, the impression of Tang Yan in the hearts of the two has changed many times.
"Who got that book in the end?" Tang Yan asked casually, she didn't care much about the final result, she just sensed Bai Lu and Bai Cheng's thoughts and helped them ask.
The two listened with pricked ears, and the green condensation paused and replied, "If you want it, Miss, I'll go ......."
"No, I can't cultivate, it's useless to ask for that." Tang Yan waved his hand and shook his head, dying of interest.
Egret sensitively realized that what her little cousin said was useless, she was useless, plus Lu Ning's half-sentence answer before, could it be that if she wanted it, the book would appear in her hand?
This idea is a bit ridiculous, even the martial artist was killed with his guilt, what ability does Tang Yan, a thirteen-and-a-half-year-old child, have to keep the baby?
But immediately after, she saw Tang Yan's little cousin turn her head to look at her, and asked in a flat tone, "Does my cousin want it?" If you want, I can find it for you. ”
The egret was stunned for a moment, the treasure that had been snatched away was something she could find if she wanted it?
A thought flashed through her heart almost at the same time, her cousin was joking with herself, right?
But her calm eyes, inquiring tone, and confidence in the overall situation are not like a joke, could it be that she can really get it?
Egret thought for a moment and shook his head, "Thank you cousin for your kindness, but forget it, even if we get it, we won't have the order to take that thing away." ”
"Then why don't you just take it away?" Tang Yan explained with a smile, "Although the underground black market is chaotic, there are also rules here, and everyone who trades here is not allowed to rob without authorization, otherwise, they will die." So as long as you don't leave here, you can keep things in your hands casually. ”
After speaking, she barely won the opinion of the egret, and gave an order directly to Lu Ning without looking back, "Bring the book back." ”
"Yes! Miss. Lu Ning responded without hesitation, turned around and changed direction, leaving Tang Yan, and her figure gradually disappeared on Duobao Street.
Can a maid retrieve a book of exercises that has been commented on by Wuzun himself, and has long lost clues? The egret will never believe it!
She looked at Tang Yan with strange eyes, her cousin couldn't be faint, right? This kind of impossible thing is even said as a matter of course, should she deliberately play prestige in front of herself, pretending, and then find a random reason to clean up the previous matter, anyway, there is no loss to her.
Without waiting for her to confirm the credibility of the matter, Tang Yan reminded from the side, "Cousin, are you going to walk around the street?" If not, I'll take you and your cousin to see the fun stuff here. ”
Bai Lu is not familiar with this place, and Tang Yan seems to have arranged everything for taking her and her younger brother to this underground black market this time, so she doesn't need to play tricks by herself, just follow along.
"Then listen to your cousin." The egret pressed one hand on Bai Cheng's shoulder, pulling his curious eyes back, and pressed his palm down slightly to warn him.
"Well, just listen to your little cousin." Bai Cheng hurriedly said.
Without Lu Ning's follow, Tang Yan led the way in front, taking her cousin and brother through Duobao Street, the space in front was larger, more than a dozen tall stone pillars supported this underground black market, and the high wall not far away blocked the view with a circular attitude, and there seemed to be some lively activities going on within the wall, and the noise was boiling.
Tang Yan seemed to be very familiar with this place, and led the two of them directly to the entrance leading to the wall, a doorless entrance about five meters wide and more than three meters high, guarded by four black-clothed martial artists on each side.
There are enough eight martial artists here to serve as ordinary gatekeepers, and this lineup is really extravagant.
Walking forward, Tang Yan took out a silver ticket from his waist bag and handed it over, "Three people." ”
Bai Cheng's eyes were excellent, and he clearly saw that she just paid a silver ticket of five hundred taels as an entrance fee.
What kind of place is inside, just entering the door, such an exaggerated charge?
Walking into the gate with questions, the surroundings were dim, the front was bright, and the three of them walked dozens of steps, and as the shouts became louder and louder, the environment inside the walls came into view.
A wide field, in the center of the field is a circular high platform, under the stage, there are hundreds of people around the applause, some cheering and some frustrated, with different expressions, two black-clothed warriors carried a stretcher to the stage, and carried down the body of a person whose head was smashed in half on the stage.
"The Iron Fist King is really powerful, and he has won three games in a row!"
"If you still press him in the next game, you will definitely win!"
"It's hard to say, he's already played three games, and his physical strength is exhausted, maybe he won't be able to hold on to the fourth game."
The discussion of the onlookers drew the attention of the two sisters and brothers, Bai Lu and Bai Cheng, to the stage, only to see a big man on the stage who was two meters tall and full of muscles, who was naked, his chest rose and fell sharply, and he was panting heavily.
It is conceivable that he is the Iron Fist King in other people's mouths.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
In the center of the field, several rusty thick iron chains were staggered and entangled, fixing a large wooden basket in the air, the basket was ten meters above the ground, and someone was standing in the large basket at this time using a loud tool to spread the sound out.
"The next battle with the Iron Fist King is the nearest dark horse in our martial arts arena, the youngest martial artist, known as the Kuaishou Flying Knife!" The infectious voice immediately exaggerated the emotions of the onlookers, creating an extremely hot atmosphere here, "Welcome to the stage!" ”
"Quick hand flying knife!"
"Quick hand flying knife!"
"Get on stage!"
"Get on stage!!"
At this time, a martial artist dressed in a black-clothed iron mask with a small head and a thin body walked leisurely onto the high platform.
This person seems to be a teenager at the same time, but he is full of murderous aura and blood, as if he crawled out of the bones of a sea of blood, and he must have killed many people with such momentum.
"Here it is...... Where to compete? After seeing the corpse and understanding that the two people on the stage were about to make a move, Bai Cheng finally reacted to what he was doing in this place. He asked Tang Yan a little dumbfounded, always feeling that he was standing here, smelling the disgusting bloody and rancid smell in the field, and he had an urge to leave immediately.
Tang Yan grinned, "That's right, this black market martial arts arena is a place for martial arts competitions, but unlike the competitions above, here, ten times a day, only one person on stage can walk off the stage alive." ”
She didn't say it directly enough, but when it came to this, Bai Cheng should also understand what she meant, as for the others on the stage, there was only one way to die, and like the broken corpse before, it was carried down and thrown away.
In Bai Egret and Bai Cheng's understanding, killing people is not a big deal, but the situation of cruelly appreciating the process of life and death as a theatrical pleasure is really chilling. But this scene has aroused the dark side of many people's hearts, so releasing their nature, it is refreshing to watch, but what about death?
"That's cruel!" Bai Lu's tone was a little excited, letting the martial artists fight each other for people to watch, it was really perverted enough, he didn't know what others thought, as for himself, it was hard to accept!
