Chapter 24: The Ghost Market
…
Huayang Chengfang City.
Li Shou and his entourage, dressed in disguise, walked on the streets of Fang City.
may be because he got Li Shou's treasure knife, Liang Ping, who often fights in Huayang Chengfang City, is very diligent to introduce Li Shou and others to the famous shops in Huayangfang City.
"This is the Famous Instrument Pavilion, a famous store specializing in the sale of monks' supplies, you can buy all kinds of magic weapons, spiritual weapons, talismans in the Famous Instrument Pavilion, it is said that there are runes and even magic weapons for sale in this shop, it is the most powerful famous store in this Fang City."
"This is Shang Yaxuan, a famous store that sells battle suits, brother-in-law, I didn't say you, the imperial three-style battle suit is too old, who still wears this kind of dirty scumbag now, you might as well go to Shang Yaxuan to buy a battle suit made by the famous designer Hou Sui, so that you and my sister are really a better match for a talented woman."
"Na Na Na, this store is the most powerful, don't look at its small face, the decoration is not very good, but there are demon soldiers sold in this store, if you are lucky enough, it is possible to buy second-order demon soldiers here, or let's go in and have a look?"
“……”
Although Liang Pingkou was like a river, Li Shou and the others did not enter a single store.
Li Shou and them, to be precise, are not here to hang out, but to have a clear purpose - to sell the stolen goods, and then purchase some needed items and things that can improve their combat power.
Therefore, Li Shou did not listen to Liang Ping's wandering around the city, but went straight to the ghost market.
"Ghost market", also known as "black market", originated from the chicken and dog thieves who do not be a person and specialize in ghosts, take out the stolen things and sell them while it is dark, which is called "not seeing the light", the earliest ghost market is in an open space, there is no lighting, each stall is lit with a kerosene lamp, candles, soybean oil lamps or something, and the people who visit the "ghost market" are carrying lanterns, or playing with flints, the light is bright and secluded, and the figures of people come and go are erratic, like ghosts, so it is called a ghost market.
With the development of time, the ghost market is no longer as simple as it was at the beginning, and some ghost markets simply build a small town under the city, such as the ghost market in Kyoto, and most of the ghost markets are in some remote or old places in the city.
In most cases, the entrance to the ghost market (at least one entrance) will be in the fang market in order to ensure the source of customers to the ghost market.
And the things bought and sold in the ghost market, some are stolen and robbed, and some are things that the dynasty prohibits from selling, such as arms, in short, the things traded in the ghost market are all things that cannot be bought and sold through formal channels.
Although Liang Ping is very familiar with Fang City, he has never been to the ghost market.
Therefore, after coming to the famous and mysterious ghost market with Li Shou and others, Liang Ping said more.
He looked around at the seemingly ordinary stalls and said, "This is a ghost market, it doesn't seem like a big deal?" ”
Tong Jin whispered to Liang Ping: "The ghost market here is full of extremely vicious people, black and black things, they often do it, so they will be afraid of being hacked by others, and they will not easily take out the real good things and sell them." ”
Liang Ping was a little puzzled: "Then how do they trade?" ”
Tong Hui continued: "They'll look at people to introduce what they really want to sell, and you can see their mouths." ”
Hearing this, Liang Ping looked at the mouths of those people with some puzzlement, and then was surprised to find that their mouths were all moving slightly.
Liang Ping suddenly figured it out and said, "Are they using the art of sound transmission to introduce what they really want to sell?" ”
Xue You smiled and said, "Yes, they are using the art of sound transmission to introduce us to what they really want to sell. ”
Liang Ping finally understood this time.
However, Liang Ping quickly wondered a little: "But I didn't hear anything?" ”
Tong Jin and the others were naturally inconvenient to answer, so they could only be answered by Liang Yu, she said: "Because these people can see that you are just playing with you, the master is fine, and they will not buy their things, so they don't tell you." ”
When Liang Ping heard this, he said indignantly: "They also look down on people too much, why can't I buy things, I also have spirit coins!" ”
Liang Yu said unceremoniously: "Those few spirit coins of yours, they can't look down on them." ”
Liang Ping, who only had a few hundred spirit coins on his body and was indeed a little shy compared to Li Shou, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and then said with hatred: "When the master is rich, he will definitely come to the ghost market again, and let you see the majesty of the master when the time comes!" ”
Knowing brother Mo Ruojie, Liang Ping's careful thinking was guessed by Liang Yu at once.
Liang Yu immediately warned Liang Pingdao: "You are not allowed to come to the ghost market alone in the future!" ”
Liang Ping immediately resisted: "Why? ”
Liang Yugang wanted to speak, but was stopped by Li Shou, and then Li Shou said to Liang Ping with a smile: "There are not only things that are difficult to buy outside in this ghost market, but also fakes and fakes, and the latter are the majority, therefore, without a certain amount of experience and eyesight, you can't buy real things in the ghost market."
There are also many scammers in the ghost market, they pick on those who are inexperienced and lack of eyesight, I was deceived by them when I first entered the ghost market, and paid more than 1,000 spirit coins for tuition.
But I don't hate the liars who lied to me, on the contrary, I am grateful to them, do you know why? ”
Liang Ping shook his head.
Li Shou said: "Because, if I hadn't been cheated out of all the spirit coins by them that time, I would have to die in the ghost market, Liang Ping, do you know that the most terrible thing about this ghost market is not that it is full of fakes and fakes, but that the ghost market is full of extremely vicious people, as long as you dare to expose your wealth, they will definitely target you, and then find an opportunity to kill you, and then rob your property, so before you have the strength to protect yourself, never come to the ghost market to buy things, throughout the ages, there are too many heroes, should have done something great to achieve fame, but unfortunately, because they were not cautious enough, they folded in this small ghost market, do you say it's a pity? ”
Xue You also said: "There have always been masters in the ghost market, among which there are many second-order masters, not to mention, sometimes there are even third-order masters, it is said that there are fourth-order powerhouses in the dungeons of Kyoto, I don't dare to come to the ghost market to buy and sell things easily when I wander the rivers and lakes, and every time I come, I will be cautious and cautious, careful and careful, but even so, I have encountered two robberies after leaving the ghost market, if it weren't for my higher means, I wouldn't be able to share my experience with you here now." ”
This time, Liang Pingcai was really a little frightened, he finally knew that this ghost market, which seemed to be nothing, was really not something he could come easily.
The group continued to walk forward.
Suddenly!
Li Shou's ears rang: "Do you want weapons of great destruction?" ”
Li Shou's footsteps immediately stopped, and then turned his head to look at the person who sent him the message.
