Chapter 293: Ghost Town
Fellow Daoist, may I ask ......?"
"I don't know, get out!"
However, just as Chen Dong and the others caught up with the people in front of them and were about to ask about the situation, before they could ask, the other party replied to them very violently.
Seeing such an attitude of the other party, Chen Dong and Lei Sheng were stunned, they didn't know why these guys had such a big temper.
"Forget it, let's ask someone else!"
Lei Sheng shook his head, and left with Chen Dong, preparing to ask someone else.
Seeing a shop in front of them, the two walked in, and Chen Dong opened his mouth and asked the shopkeeper, "May I ask the shopkeeper, why is this city so deserted?" ”
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, he glanced at Chen Dong and the others, and said coldly: "I see that you are from other places, we are a ghost town here, of course there is no one during the day, okay, if you don't buy anything, don't be an eyesore here." ”
Although the other party replied, his attitude was still not very good, and he wanted to let Chen Dong and them go out.
"Ghost town?"
Hearing these two words, Chen Dong was a little surprised, but when they came in, they didn't see the name of the city on the city gate, unlike other cities, which would engrave the name of the city above the city gate.
However, he didn't expect this city to be called a ghost town, it sounded weird, and he wanted to continue asking, but seeing the other party's attitude, Chen Dong had to take out dozens of spirit stones from the storage ring and put them on the counter.
Then he asked, "Dare to ask the store, why is this place called a ghost town?" And why is there no one during the day? ”
Seeing that Chen Dong gave the spirit stone to himself, the attitude of the shopkeeper eased a little, unceremoniously put away the spirit stone, and said: "Because the ghost city is a trading city, that is to say, every night people will come out with things, and then exchange, if there is something you like, you can exchange it with the other party, but there is no one here during the day." ”
"So that's the case, it's similar to the Exchange City."
Only then did Chen Dong understand the reason, it turned out that the ghost town was a place where some cultivators exchanged items.
He'd seen the Trading City before, and in the same way, everyone would take items they didn't need and exchange them for something useful.
It's just that the trading city will be crowded with people whether it is day or night, but this ghost town is strange, there is no one during the day, and it has to be traded at night.
Perhaps seeing Chen Dong's doubts, the shopkeeper said: "The ghost town is indeed similar to the trading city, but there are no rules here, that is to say, it is common for this city to kill people and seize treasures, and no one cares about it at all, so the tempers of the people here are more violent, after all, it is indispensable to guard against people, I guess you have also inquired about people outside, do others ignore you?" ”
"That's true!"
Chen Dong smiled bitterly and nodded.
"That's normal, after all, people are also afraid that you will snatch things, where will they pay attention to you? If it weren't for the fact that you just gave me the spirit stone, and seeing that you are from other places, I would not have been able to ignore you, unless you bought something. ”
The store is very direct.
"So...... Thank you to the store for solving our doubts. ”
When asked what should be asked, Chen Dong and they didn't say much, after all, these guys are not very good-tempered, and if they continue to ask, it is estimated that they will have to be driven out by the store.
"Brother Chen, it seems that we will have to wait until the evening to see the situation."
After leaving the store, Lei Sheng said.
Chen Dong nodded and said, "Well, let's take a look at it later, I'm more interested in this ghost town, and I'll see if I can find the thousand-year-old Xuezhi here." ”
"Yes, then let's find a restaurant to rest first!"
Lei Sheng also had this meaning, and after speaking, he and Chen Dong went to the front to find a restaurant, and the two asked for some spirit wine, so they chatted and drank while waiting for dark.
The restaurant was also very empty, from Chen Dong and they stayed until the evening, a total of less than ten people came in, but when it was dark, people finally came to the restaurant one after another.
And soon the entire restaurant was crowded, and there were more and more people on the street, Chen Dong and Lei Sheng glanced at each other, and then walked to the street.
Soon, the streets became crowded, and it seemed that not only people from their Longyuan Continent, but also people from other continents had come over, otherwise it would be impossible for there to be so many people in a while.
Within an hour, some practitioners began to take out items and place them on both sides of the street, allowing others to come and exchange them.
And this ghost town is specially for everyone to exchange items, so the street is very wide, and there are all kinds of stalls on both sides, and it will not look crowded, and other cultivators who do not have stalls are slowly looking at the stalls on the street.
"Let's take a look!"
Lei Sheng was quite interested, and he also wandered around these stalls, as if he wanted to find his favorite items, Chen Dong nodded, and began to try to find the thousand-year-old Xuezhi.
"Fellow Daoist, do you want to change this knife?"
Soon, Chen Dong saw a big knife at a stall, and he always liked to use a knife, so he asked.
The stall owner looked at Lei Sheng and said lightly: "Of course I have to change it, but I need the demon pill of three rotations, do you have it?" ”
"I'll just take a look!"
As soon as he heard that the other party needed to exchange the demon pill, Lei Sheng shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave.
"Do you need that knife? I have some demon pills here, so I'll help you change them!" Seeing Lei Sheng asking about the knife, Chen Dong asked him, because he had gone to Ten Thousand Demon Mountain to practice and obtained some demon pills, all of which were still in the storage ring.
However, Lei Sheng waved his hand: "That knife is more than two grades worse than the Thunder Knife I used, what do I want it for?" It's just that it feels quite fresh, so I asked. ”
"Okay!" Chen Dong didn't say anything more when he saw that he didn't want it, and then the two continued to walk forward.
The ghost town is very wide, there are thirteen streets in it, and each street is very long, and it will take at least half an hour to walk slowly all the way, that is, to visit the whole ghost town, I am afraid that it will be early in the morning.
"It seems that this ghost town can't find a thousand-year-old Xuezhi!"
After they walked around for three streets, Chen Dong shook his head in disappointment, not to mention the thousand-year-old Xuezhi, and he didn't even find some decent spirit grass.
It seems that the ghost town is so wide, but there are no good things, presumably even if there is, I am afraid that it will be replaced early, after all, there are too many people here, and there are pedestrians everywhere.
"Then let's inquire and see where there are snowy mountains!"
Lei Sheng proposed.
"Well, that's the only way!"
Chen Dong nodded, then walked to a stall selling spirit grass, bought two spirit grass at random, and then asked, "Fellow Daoist, may I ask where is the snow mountain here?" ”
Chen Dong bought his spirit grass, and the stall owner was naturally more polite, so he said, "Daoist friends are looking for Snow Mountain?" The mountain range where our Longyuan Continent and Changhong Continent meet is a snow-capped mountain, it seems that Daoist friends should have come from afar, right? ”
The stall owner directly told the location of the snow mountain, and seeing that Chen Dong didn't even know the snow mountain on their side, he knew that Chen Dong must have come from other continents that were far away.
As soon as Chen Dong heard that the other party really knew, and that he was on the side of the Longyuan Continent, he was overjoyed and immediately asked, "Then may I ask Daoyou, which direction do you need to go from below?" ”
The other party stood up, pointed to the north, and said: "Keep going to the north, it should be six or seven thousand miles away from here, if the Taoist friend is lost, you can directly ask someone, which direction is the Changhong Continent, as long as you look for it, you can see the snow mountain." ”
"Okay, then thank you Daoyou!"
After asking clearly, Chen Dong arched his hand to the other party, and then he and Lei Sheng planned to rush over overnight, because time waits for no one, Chen Dong needs to find the thousand-year-old Xuezhi quickly, and then improve his cultivation.
But before the two of them left the city, they were suddenly bumped into by a cultivator, who not only did not apologize, but also pointed at Chen Dong's nose and scolded: "Damn, are you blind?" ”
Chen Dong frowned: "Fellow Daoist, it seems that you hit me, and you still scold me?" ”
"If you don't get in front of me, I can hit you? And I'm going to scold you, what can you do? However, the other party was very arrogant and didn't seem to take Chen Dong in his eyes.
"Get out!"
However, Chen Dong was also angry, since you can kill people and seize treasures at will here, then Chen Dong has no scruples, and just punched him over, shaking the other party away.
