Chapter 667: The Black Market Below Narcissus Pavilion
Xue Wu wiped her hair for a moment, "Huh? What was found? ”
Genlin: "There's a black market under this Narcissus Pavilion. I went around, and it was quite lively, with hundreds of stalls of all sizes. ”
Xue Wu became interested when she heard this, "Do you know where the entrance is?" I'll check it out too. ”
"Yes, I'll take you."
Xue Wu said to the two maids: "I'm tired, go up to sleep first, you can't go upstairs to disturb me without my orders." ”
"Yes."
Xue Wu went upstairs, closed the door, and laid down the enchantment - this enchantment refers to the enchantment in the cave where the Xuanling is locked in the Absolute Spirit Valley, although she can't arrange an enchantment that is exactly the same as the original enchantment, but the effect is also comparable to the original version of fifty percent, even if the Jindan period comes, it has to be blocked out, and it is easy to enter.
After laying out the barrier, she followed behind Genling and headed towards the entrance of the black market.
The entrance to the black market is not in the Narcissus Pavilion, but in an ordinary mansion quite far away from the Narcissus Pavilion.
Of course, it looks ordinary on the outside, but in fact, there is a lot on the inside. Otherwise, it would not have become an entrance to the black market.
However, according to the preliminary detection of the Xuanlin, there should be more than this hidden entrance.
The cunning rabbit has three holes.
Xue Wu knocked on the courtyard door, and a subordinate came to open the door, and looked at her without a trace, "Who is the girl looking for?" ”
"Looking for money, Jinbao, Master Qian."
The next person's eyes flashed, "What is the matter with you looking for Master Qian?" ”
"I'm here to look for relatives, and Master Qian is the nephew of my mother's uncle's nephew's nephew."
The code whispered to him, and the subordinate opened half of the door and stepped out of the way, "Please come in." ”
The reason why it is so mysterious is naturally because the black market is unsightly and is not allowed by the Family Alliance. As mentioned earlier, the spiritual realm is governed by the major forces (one court, three sects and five families), and the people in the jurisdiction are all managed by them, and the taxes and everything are determined by them.
In order to monopolize the business in the spiritual world, these forces are dominant, and they have customized a very heavy business tax, as long as they set up a stall on their territory, they have to pay 30% of the tax.
Who can afford such a high tax?
There are policies and countermeasures, and the black market has quietly emerged.
Since it is a black market, it is not known to the public, and the stall owners and customers will not disclose the transaction amount, so that the purpose of tax avoidance is achieved.
Lingyao City was originally a city built with Lingyao Academy, which was originally under the jurisdiction of the Academy, and later the forces of various sects and families continued to infiltrate, resulting in Lingyao City being divided by major forces.
This part of Jinliu Street belongs to the Zhou family, and the business tax of the Zhou family is notoriously high, reaching a terrible forty percent!
But the Zhou family is powerful, and others have no problem, if you want to do business in this area, you can only pay taxes honestly, otherwise the Zhou family has a way to clean up those merchants.
Narcissus Pavilion dares to run a black market in secret, it can be said that he is brushing the tiger's whiskers on the tiger of the Zhou family, and his courage is not great.
Xue Wu said that the Narcissus Pavilion set the threshold so high, how to make money, the emotional family does not need to rely on the guests on the surface to make money, and the existence of the Narcissus Pavilion is just to provide a cover for the black market below.
After entering, the subordinate took Xue Wu all the way around and around, I don't know how many corridors were turned, through several doors, and finally into a room, the room had a dark room, after entering the dark room, down the spiraling steps down the floor.
In the end, I arrived at an underground labyrinth, and the route of the labyrinth was only in the hands of the people of the Narcissus Pavilion, even if outsiders found here, without the leadership of the people of the Narcissus Pavilion, they would not be able to find a way out.
Walking around the maze, the route is very complicated, and Xue Wu's head is about to be dizzy.
It seems that in order to prevent the black market from being touched by the people of the Zhou family, Narcissus Pavilion is really painstaking.
After getting out of the labyrinth, I walked through a long corridor and came to an enchantment, which was like a transparent water curtain, and the next person took out a token and pasted it on the enchantment, and the enchantment disappeared.
"Guest, please." The servant gestured to her.
The moment Xue Yu stepped into the enchantment, the enchantment reappeared behind her.
She appeared in a small room, flanked to the right by a half-human-tall counter, behind which lay a man in a white fox mask.
"Guests are welcome to the black market, please pay the entrance fee for the Five Spirit Stones." The man said to her.
It turned out that she still had to pay the entrance fee, so she said that the Narcissus Pavilion spent so much manpower, material and financial resources, and risked offending the Zhou family to set up such a black market, it was not for charity, and it was not for charity to provide everyone with a trading place without paying taxes for free.
Relying on this entrance fee alone, the Narcissus Pavilion is afraid that it will earn a lot of money.
However, since so many people are willing to come here, it can be seen that compared with the high taxes and fees to be paid to the Zhou family, these five spirit stones are much cheaper.
Xue Wu handed over five spirit stones, put away the fox mask, and pointed to the shelf next to the counter: "These masks can isolate the divine sense and avoid being recognized, you pick one yourself." ”
There are many masks of different styles and colors on the shelves, and the workmanship is quite exquisite, Xue Wu picked out a purple hollow half of the butterfly mask and put it on her face.
The mask only covers the upper half of the face, and the lips and chin are exposed, so that it does not interfere with talking and eating.
And the mask also has the function of automatically adjusting the size, and after wearing it, it fits her face very well, and it is not stuffy at all.
There is no additional fee for the mask, and it is included in the entrance fee for the five spirit stones.
Xue Wu was still a little uncomfortable before, but with such a mask, that little discomfort disappeared, and she spent five spirit stones to buy such a mask.
It feels like a good deal.
It is worthy of being able to support such a big stall of Narcissus Pavilion, and it will do business.
Xue Wu pushed open the door and walked out, the noisy noise came to her face, and the stalls that could not be seen at a glance stretched out, and after a cursory sweep, I was afraid that there were thousands of people here.
She stepped out.
It wasn't until this moment that he really came to the black market.
Xue Wu looked up and looked up, the ceiling was quite far from the ground, the space was very large, it did not make people feel depressed at all, and there were stars inlaid on it, like a dreamy and bright starry night scene, giving people the illusion of standing under the night sky.
In fact, those stars are glow-in-the-dark stones, and under the illumination of luminous stones, the entire black market is as bright as day, and it does not affect the vision at all.
The stalls in the black market were criss-crossed, but they were neatly arranged, and Xue Wu chose a random direction and walked all the way through.
There are all kinds of things sold here, including magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, ores, spirit plants, etc., and some things that are said to have been brought out of the secret realm and cannot be distinguished, and she is dazzled.
However, Xue Wu was very interested, and she felt like she was on Taobao.
Genlin is well-informed, and Xiao Shi has a natural sense of stone-based natural treasures, relying on them, she picked up a lot of leaks.
Although she scattered a lot of spirit stones, she was still very happy to have harvested so many good things.
