"That ghost realm was traded from the ghost realm?" Gu Huai asked after a short rest, and then eased up a little.

"It's not a trade. Feng Xiangchi shook his head, "It's a secret deal." ”

"Is that to sell smuggling, or to return to Yi?" Gu Huai asked.

Smuggling and returning trade are both ancient people's expressions of trading without going through the market. Functionally, it is to sell some goods that are not allowed to be sold by the yamen, and at the same time, it is also to save some taxes on customs cloth.

"The Shashui Golden Lotus was originally a part of the Soul Attracting Lamp," Feng Xiangchi nodded, "But if this Soul Attracting Lamp is not an official way, it cannot be taken out of the Ghost Realm unless it is through a silver seal shop, so the merchants can only sell smuggling." ”

"What is a Soul Lamp?"

"A kind of treasure in the ghost world, it has the effect of attracting ghosts and souls, and is mainly used at the end of the bridge to guide the recently deceased into Senluo Hell. Feng Xiangchi said, his expression was very serious.

Hearing Senluo Hell, Gu Huai's mind unconsciously recalled the scenes in the dream just now.

Those scenes were brought out by the man in the white robe, but he felt as if he had experienced it himself.

"Then why dismantle?" Gu Huai asked.

"There are two reasons," said Feng Xiangchi, who stretched out two fingers, "one is that after dismantling, it can be sold as different treasures, and its total price is greater than the whole sale, and many pieces of silver can be earned from it." Second, when the whole sale, if it is not handled by the formal checkpoint method, there are generally side effects. ”

"What are the side effects?"

"Then this soul-attracting lamp, for example, if it is taken out as a whole, and it is not cleaned or modified by spells, it will provoke the souls of the dead and harm the buyer!"

"Cleansing and reforming?"

"Cleansing, that is, using spells to remove the original main force of the ghost world, and changing power is to use spells to exchange a kind of power. ”

This set of practices made Gu Huai stunned for a while.

He thought that he had seen a lot with his father in the early years, but now that he saw that little bit of knowledge before, compared with this cross-border transaction, it was just a drop in the ocean!

"That sand water golden lotus ......"

At this moment, he seemed to recall the embarrassment when he was holding the golden lotus, although because of ignorance, but also very self-reproachful.

"Because the sand water golden lotus is only a part, it also does not have the full otherworldly function, at most it can only make you enter an illusion and then die of exhaustion. ”

"What is that sand water mandala smoke?" Gu Huai asked.

"The sand water mandala smoke is made by refining and grilling the nether mandala flowers. ”

"Needless to say, this Nether Mandala Flower isn't a good thing anymore!?"

"Look at where. Nether mandala flowers are also used in the ghost world, as you know, but it is mainly used to calm the restless undead so that they can be content with the status quo and ready for the next life. ”

"But what if you bring that flower into Shakun City?"

"If it is used across borders, the effect of tranquility will be gone, and it will directly paralyze people to death. Feng said lately.

As soon as he heard that he was paralyzed to death, Gu Huai remembered the smell he had just smelled again, and he was a little afraid.

If it weren't for the reminder of the white-robed man in his dream, he might have ......

"Could it be that the shopkeeper made both of these things?" he asked.

Feng Xiangchi looked at the room, shook his head and said:

"There's no need. The effect of the two things is similar to the purpose, not only is it expensive but also cannot be stacked, and it is a waste to use them together. ”

Gu Huai nodded, since the person surnamed Huang was a businessman, he would not do such a stupid thing.

But who is the second person?

Is it Sha Five Six?

Thinking of this, he shook his head and dismissed the speculation. Because no one is stupid enough to scold someone to their face, and immediately come back to hurt them behind their backs. Obviously a little stupid.

Didn't the person surnamed Huang immediately collect Jin Lian's evidence afterwards? Although I don't know what method to use.

"Hey-damn, it's Jin Lian again, and it's poisonous smoke again," he scolded, looking at Feng Yu Chi and said, "The people around me are trying their best to kill me, and the city mansion doesn't care?"

I think when I was in the city, as soon as there was a slave riot, the head catcher surnamed Liu was dispatched, and I couldn't even see a fart shadow at this time.

"The Chengfu Mansion has less jurisdiction here," Feng Xiangchi shook his head and said, "There are three reasons:

For one, it has been subcontracted to the merchants, that is, the shopkeeper Qiu, who manages it, and he has more autonomy.

Gu Huai nodded, if you don't give up power, what's the point of subcontracting?

"Second," said Feng Desire, "according to his own autonomy, Shopkeeper Qiu has spent a lot of money to surround this place with mana enchantments and mana fields, and there are not many things that outsiders can detect.

Base three, the city government building is actually ......"

When it came to the third point, Feng Xiang paused for a moment, as if he had some concerns.

"Chengfulou doesn't want to care too much, right?" Gu Huai could roughly guess one or two. Because if it weren't, they wouldn't subcontract it to anyone.

Thinking of what he had seen along the way, Liu Zhutou, Chisha Guard, and Sand Demon Dog were all extremely powerful characters.

Therefore, if the city government tower really wants to take care of this small realm, it is not as easy as the Buddha to catch Sun Dasheng? Now they don't want to care, and they also have their own reasons.

"Is it possible?" Gu Huai seemed to suddenly think about something, his pupils contracted, and said, "Could it be that this city mansion wants people to fight!?"

Feng Xiangchi stared at Gu Huai for a moment, nodded and said:

"You just came here a short time, and you don't know martial arts, so I didn't want to tell you. ”

After a while, Gu Huai was silent with Feng Qichi. He thought back to the unbounded sandstorm, the hundred-mile market, the ghost-eyed civet, and the bad weather that appeared in the city from time to time, and the suffering of the divine beast of the sand kun, and felt a chill down his spine under the cool breeze of the night.

He had thought that there was a shortage of people in this Shakun City—and You Qiu said the same. But in fact, it is not missing, but it is always updated and replaced.

The old dies, the new comes.

At this time, he suddenly understood the desire of the black box, the pursuit of control, the pursuit of power, in such a realm, isn't it just an instinct to survive?

With a "snap", Gu Huai punched the sand and gravel ground, and asked with burning eyes:

"How can a person like me, who knows nothing in this place, survive!?"

Feeling late or infected by Gu Huai's resentment, he frowned and thought about it, and said:

"Do you know that there are many people with martial arts in Shakun City, or there are many people without martial arts?

Are there more people with spells or more people without spells?"

Gu Huai didn't know.

"Martial artists are the fewest and mages are second, and mortals are the most. ”

Gu Huai nodded. Wind Desire continued:

"But do you know that Shakun City is held up by mortals!"

Listening to Feng Xiangchi's talk about the actions of mortals, Gu Huai looked at him very excitedly, his eyes were burning and full of determination.

He remembered that Tai Lai had told him earlier that the sand kun grew on the gold of goodwill.

In other words, it was the good deeds of businessmen who made her grow.

You Qiu, the shopkeeper Wang, and the other shopkeepers that Gu Huai met were all mortals like Gu Huai. Gu Huai also believes that they are doing a lot of good deeds all the time.

Because it is precisely because of them that the city of Shakun will not be full of wind and sand every day, and the mountains will shake every day.

At this point, Gu Huai raised his fist from the ground, squeezed it tightly, looked into the distance, and muttered to himself: "No matter how hard the world is, we and other mortals have a way out!"

A little further away from Gu Huai's residence is the largest sand and gravel house on Quicksand Island.

This sandstone house, called the Heart of Quicksand, is the centerpiece of the entire Quicksand Islands.

It is not only used to hold auctions, but also for merchants to gather and communicate.

The hall in the heart of the quicksand is circular, surrounded by tables and chairs, all of which are filled with tea and pastries.

The hall of the hall is also circular, forming a column together with the ground.

The top, bottom and all sides of this column are made of fine sand and stone, supplemented by extremely exquisite craftsmanship, and are smooth and shiny like terracotta bricks.

In the middle of it is a circular platform that is used to display items at auction.

It can be seen that the things placed in this field must be treasures.

Early the next morning, a group of merchants gathered in the Heart of Quicksand, greeting and communicating with each other.

This group of people seems to be rich and noble, and all of them exude a complex and mysterious aura.

It is also natural that ordinary businessmen here are not only to do business, but also to kill people or protect themselves.

"Tomorrow, the business deed of Moyangfang will be placed on that booth. Tai Lai pointed to the round platform and said to Gu Huai.

Not far behind Taylor was a skinny businessman.

The thin merchant asked another fat merchant, "Shopkeeper Li, what do you think of this auction?"

"Oh, this auction is more flavorful than before. The fat merchant laughed, knowing that the other party was talking nonsense, and he didn't give any useful information.

"Boss Yuan, what do you estimate the value of Moyangfang?" Not far from the fat merchant, a short and fat merchant asked another merchant who was about the same size, and his words were more direct.

Boss Yuan just waved his hand and said:

"Without the people in Moyangfang, I'm afraid it's rare to see its value. You see, they have inventory there, and there are outstanding payments or something. We bought it and took care of it......"

"Shopkeeper Yuan, you can't tell Moyangfang clearly, I think you understand a lot better than us......" Another businessman walked up next to him and talked to Shopkeeper Yuan.

"Haha! Where is it, I just know a little bit about it......" Shopkeeper Yuan waved his hand and smiled cohesively.

The atmosphere was peaceful on the surface, except for some temptations on the scene, there was nothing to see.

"Who would have thought that most of these smiling people had just experienced some sinister things and survived. Tai Lai leaned over to Gu Huai's side and whispered.

Gu Huai remembered the scene last night, sighed, and sighed in his heart.

The black boy on the side saw Gu Huai's good appearance, and also came over, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Looks like you didn't win them at the auction, I'm sorry for what happened to you last night!"

Gu Huai turned around and looked at the black boy with some surprise:

"How do you know?"

The black boy didn't answer, just smiled, patted his shoulder again, and said:

"The first-level seal price auction is negotiated by the various caravans, so I will give you a signal when the time comes, and then you will decide how to set the price!"

"Me!?" Gu Huai was already a little surprised that Heizai knew what happened to him, and he was even more surprised at this time, and couldn't help but ask loudly, causing several other businessmen next to him to cast unkind eyes.
