Chapter Seventy-One: See You Poorly
Ghost Gate Pass is one of the five major cities of the Red Blood Country, and it is as famous as the Red Flame Pass, but it is larger than the Red Flame Pass, and the prosperity is also on a higher level, which may be the reason why it is the only passage to the Kunyu Empire.
As soon as the ghost gate is closed, there is no one for thousands of miles.
Hundreds of miles outside the ghost gate is a sea of sand, extremely hot, you need to be familiar with the path of the guide to pass smoothly, the price of the special guide is expensive, all year round with passers-by in and out of this sea of sand.
The inside of the ghost gate is different from the outside of the ghost gate. Hundreds of miles outside the Ghost Gate, the yellow sand is everywhere, and the heat wave is monstrous. Hundreds of miles away from the Ghost Gate, it is extremely cold, icy and snowy. Among them, there are several huge snow-capped mountain ranges, stretching for thousands of miles, the geographical environment of the snow-capped mountains is extremely peculiar, the entire eastern region belongs to the tropical climate, and there are as many as 10,000 volcanoes. However, there are less than ten snow-capped mountains, and the scenery of snow-capped mountains is as high as 10,000 thousands, which is the only one in the Red Blood Country.
Several of the snow-capped mountains are mined, and hundreds of cold crystal veins are crowded with miners, and the reason why it is called Ghost Gate Pass is because of these deadly cold crystal veins.
The cold crystal vein is different from other ore veins, and grows in the cold jade mountain at a depth of thousands of meters below the snow mountain.
This kind of cold jade is also a good material for cultivating ice-based exercises, but there are not many people in the Red Blood Kingdom and even the entire Eastern Regions who practice ice-based exercises. This is because the tropical climate will affect the cultivation of the exercises.
Cold Crystal is the only mineral exported by the Red Blood Nation to other regions. It is the essence of Hanyu.
However, the cold crystal contains extremely strong cold poison, and workers who enter the mine must first practice fire exercises to resist the cold poison before entering the mine. And you can't mine for a month, otherwise you will die of cold invasion and poison.
However, the remuneration of mining is very high, and it is the source of livelihood for many families, and tens of millions of mining workers die at least hundreds of thousands of people every year because of cold poison, so since ancient times, this place has been known as the cold poison Jedi ---- ghost gate.
Guan Xiang practiced in the guest room for a few hours, his mind was still unable to calm down, his longing was strong, and he couldn't control his behavior at all, so he decided to return to the capital of the Red Blood Country to find Zhang Jun, whether Zhang Jun accepted it or not, even if he was a slave and a maid, he would never be separated from Zhang Jun again.
Now that it has been decided, Ma Li packed up his things and was just about to go out, looking up to see that the sky had not yet brightened, it was estimated that it would take at least a few hours before the city was opened. The inn is not far from the city gates, and you can get out of the city in an hour on horseback. It's a little early to get out now.
But it's at least three hours away from the city's bustling commercial streets. Although Guan Xiang knew that Zhang Jun's wealth was amazing and he lacked nothing, it was not good for him to go back empty-handed after all, and it might be embarrassing to meet, so it was a good choice to buy a gift.
Go downstairs and settle the account with the shopkeeper on duty, ride a horse and go straight to the commercial street, the last time I came out of the house, I passed by the ghost gate and lingered on the commercial street for two or three days, if it wasn't for Guan Xiong and Leng Guang pulled away, I want to play for two more days.
When I went out, the sky had just brightened, and I rode a horse and galloped on the deserted street, which had a desolate taste.
Seeing that it was almost noon, there was no movement in the guest room where Guan Xiang lived, which made the five robbers sitting outside anxious.
"Black Tan, are you sure she didn't go out?"
"No, I kept my eyes open and didn't see her go out"
"Why do I feel that something is wrong, I can't skip breakfast and lunch, right?"
"Something is really wrong, to see if her horse is still there?"
After a while, the hook nose came back and said angrily, "Black Tan, you are really a fucking delay, what do you think of the person?
"Waste, what to do, what to eat, what to eat, it's up to the individual, you can see it, see how to clean you up when you go back"
Black Tan was so frightened that his mouth trembled, "I...... I may have slept, but my eyes really stayed open, I don't lie to you."
Bai Yan and the other three glared at the black charcoal fiercely, and their resentful eyes could eat people.
"Now is not the time to punish Black Tan, the key is to find him quickly"
"Red Flame City is so big, go up there and look for it, do you want to search one place at a time?"
"This ......"
"Brothers, don't worry, I think it's not difficult to find him, his purpose is to return to the Kunyu Empire, the place that must be passed through is the city gate, a few hours of time will not be without clues, there are only two city gates to the Kunyu Empire, we will go to block the city gate pass now, spend some money to find out if it is the first city, if it is still in the city, we will definitely be able to find him." Hooknose is in charge of communication, and now go to the two gates to block people. The white-faced man arranged a plan to block people and rushed to the city gate.
The commercial street is the most prosperous area of the Ghost Gate Pass, where every inch of land is valuable, there are 72 practice lines here, and hundreds of thousands of business districts formed by more than 100 commercial streets almost control the economy of the entire Ghost Gate Pass. This commercial street is actually a whole rectangular commercial circle, walking horizontally can quickly find the goods you want to buy, professional streets, longitudinal walking can patronize every shop in the professional street to choose goods.
It was a little difficult to choose a gift through various commercial streets. I don't know what Zhang Jun likes, and I haven't heard him talk about it, but judging from his positive performance, he should like to practice martial arts very much, and he should be proud of having more powerful force.
Guan Xiang finally stopped at the short weapon street of Weapons Street, where the most professional shops for the production and sale of short weapons gathered.
Short weapons are definitely a major feature of the Ghost Gate Pass, because the core of the Ghost Gate Pass City Lord's Mansion is the Assassin Hall, and practicing assassination in the Ghost Gate Pass is a supreme glory.
Therefore, among the hundreds of gangs of all sizes in the Ghost Gate, more than half of them practice martial arts with assassination as the main practice, and in the entire Ghost Gate, you can see people dressed as assassins wearing black clothes and short daggers at their waists at any time, and in the dead of night, the night assassins come out to walk more actively, and the whole Ghost Gate Pass is even more eerie and terrifying. This is unthinkable in other cities.
Guan Xiang walked dozens of shops in a row and did not see the dagger he liked, how sharp is not the most important thing, beautiful and innovative is the choice of Guan Xiang.
After a while, I came to the door of a larger shop, and the name of this shop was very innovative, and the story of "Tu Poor Dagger" was originally a legendary story, but it was hung in front of the shop as a signboard.
"This is a little interesting" Guan Xiang was happy when she saw it, she didn't dare to be interested in fighting and killing, and she didn't even feel at ease about cultivation, how could she like dagger weapons? If she didn't want to surprise Zhang Jun, she wouldn't have chosen to come to this street at all, rouge gouache and clothing decorations are more suitable for Guan Xiang.
"Childe, our dagger here is definitely the most distinctive shop in the Ghost Gate Pass, please come with me" A middle-aged man who looked like a steward greeted him.
The shelves are filled with all kinds of fancy daggers, both the handle and the scabbard are very delicately carved, and even inlaid with many precious stones.
"These daggers are beautifully carved, very suitable for girls for self-defense, if the son has a beloved, it is a good choice" The middle-aged steward solemnly led the Guan Xiang to the front of this group of display racks, these goods are also the best selling daggers in their store.
"I want to give a dagger to a friend, but he is a man, does he have a dagger that is both practical and delicate? These are not suitable for him" Guan Xiang liked these daggers very much, but when he looked at the price, at least 100,000 high-grade spars, and the most expensive was 1 million high-grade spars. I was really reluctant to spend those spars that Zhang Jun gave him, and I wanted to return them to Zhang Jun when I went back.
"In this case, then please come with me, there are some daggers with special functions, you can see if it fits. The steward was a little disappointed, after all, the highest commission and the most expensive batch of daggers were on this set of display racks.
Guan Xiang was brought into front of another set of display shelves.
"This is a fog barrier dagger, when facing an enemy, press the red button to spray a fog barrier, the fog barrier is composed of *, which can instantly confuse the enemy. ”
"This one is a water dragon dagger, and pressing the green button can spray a poisonous water line, killing the enemy in an instant to defeat the enemy. ”
"This one is a bouncy dagger, and by pressing the yellow button, it can instantly grow by one foot, killing people by surprise. ”
"This is a flying needle dagger, there is a pinhole at the front of the dagger, press the purple button, it can shoot five three-inch flying needles in a row, and the flying needles of the device can be poisonous needles or paralyzing needles. ”
"This one is ............................."
"The last one to introduce to you is the treasure of our town shop, only the master of our shop will build, called the picture of the poor dagger, the store is named after this, you see if this dagger looks like a painting scroll and like a fan, when it opens, the scroll will fly out of the three daggers, people are unguardable, defeat the enemy. Due to the limited energy of the master master, he can only create three daggers per month, so he is the most favored by martial artists. ”
"I don't know if you like that kind of dagger, Childe, you are the first ten VIP guests to enter our store today, and I will give you a nine-percent discount. The middle-aged steward saw that Guan Xiang showed his love for the dagger, and couldn't help but feel very satisfied with his ability to introduce, if he could buy a special dagger, although it was not as high as the commission of those gem-inlaid daggers, but he could also get a very exciting commission.
Guan Xiang was dazzled by Ling Lang's daggers, and felt that the dagger was very practical, but the key was that the price was not very high, and the carving style was also exquisite, but it was not inlaid with those exquisite gems. Even the treasure of the town store is only 500,000 high-grade spars.
