Chapter 131: The Market

The store is divided into five or six floors inside and out, the outermost floor is used for mountain goods and business, and then the living room, dining room, kitchen, storage room, drying room and toilet are inside.

The drying room was dedicated to storing tobacco, and Granny Shan was a very eloquent old smoker, and she had three dry tobacco sticks and two pipes at home, each for burning different tobacco. Granny Shan said that each type of tobacco should be burned in a smoke pot of different materials to bring out the most mellow taste of tobacco.

Granny Shan seemed to like us juniors very much, and after lunch, she pulled us to the living room, lit a pot of tobacco, swallowed the clouds and spitted out the mist, and slowly talked about the various doorways in the yin capital.

It didn't take long for the living room to become full of smoke, which strangely sounded like a strange smoke, but rather a particularly fragrant herbal smell.

According to Granny Shan, with the big chimney in the center of the city as the dividing line, the entire yin is divided into two layers, inside and outside.

The outer boundary, all the people who moved here from the outside, and the seven large blocks located in the depths of the city, are all old people who were born and raised in the Yin Capital, the predecessor of these seven streets is the first seven old alleys in the Yin Capital, and now the old alleys have become new streets, but the name of the seven alleys is still retained.

Beneath the chimney is an underground power plant, on which the power of the city is completely maintained, and to the northwest of the chimney, there is a specially carved open field, where Luoshui No. 9 Middle School is located.

On the diagonal of the school, there is the most lively night market in the Yin Capital - ่กŒ (hรกng) market.

It is a place dedicated to the cultivators of the Yin Capital to receive private work, the so-called private work, to put it bluntly, is the task of some ghosts and evil spirits, the Yin Capital is surrounded by a grass river shrouded in evil spirits, haunted all the year round, seven hundred years ago, the old city lord of the Yin Capital established a market, and hired a lot of money to hire outside cultivators to come to suppress the evil, but the evil in the grass river is simply like a weed that has been endless for many years, the town has been stubble and stubble, and the town is never clean, and the market established by the old city lord has been preserved to this day.

Seven hundred years have passed, and the market has changed from the original small gate to the largest night market in the Yin Capital, and the various rules and regulations in the market have been slowly improved in the past seven hundred years.

If you want to take a quest from the Market, you must first pass a quiz and pass the level before you can register as a Trapper in the Market.

Granny Shan said that the reason why such a threshold was set was mainly because the cultivators here had uneven cultivation, and there had never been a few people with low cultivation who went to the market to take on big jobs in order to support themselves, but as a result, they didn't do a good job, and they lost their lives.

With this hurdle, it is possible to ensure that every person registered as a catcher has at least the most basic ability to save his life.

The tasks released in the market are also divided into four levels according to difficulty: floating, dementoring, quite detached, and candle yin. The purpose of this is also to ensure the personal safety of the trappers, and if the tasks that are too difficult are distributed to people with low cultivation, it is tantamount to murdering people.

The more difficult the task, the greater the income, but due to the tight funds in the Yin capital in recent years, the commission is generally not high, and the floating task is generally only 50 to 200 yuan, even if it is a candle yin level task, at most you can earn 230,000 yuan if you work hard.

Most of the people who go to the market to take tasks don't care too much about this, anyway, they just make some extra money, by the way, sharpen their cultivation, and add a little practical experience, and they don't expect to rely on this big wealth.

At the same time, Granny Shan also mentioned that the market has not issued a candle-level waist card for 20 years.

The more detailed the mountain mother-in-law said, the more doubts I had in my heart, so I found an opportunity to ask my mother-in-law, isn't it the duty of a person to suppress evil and eliminate evil, why did it become a business to suppress evil and eliminate evil when I came to the Yin Capital?

Granny Shan smiled: "It's good that you can think so." But have you ever wondered if people in our industry also have to eat and make money to support themselves? Where does the money come from, isn't it earned by craftsmanship? โ€

Qiao Sanye also echoed: "It is a good thing to help others exorcise evil spirits and suppress ghosts, take a share of people's money, everyone only has a good relationship, but they do not touch each other's cause and effect, and everyone is happy." โ€

I heard Granny Shan's side say: "Most of the tasks that can be issued by the market are small jobs, in our domestic industry, the most profitable jobs are all in the hands of a woman named Hu Nanqian, the jobs in her hands are not divided into any level, all are the most difficult, and the people who can take the work from her are either the top masters in the industry, or they are famous and decent people with a big career, and if they want to make money from that woman, their strength and background must be at least the same." โ€

"So snobbish?"

"Our business is a big river, you can't blame others for being snobbish, what do the rivers and lakes pay attention to, isn't it just competing for power and profit, and people are sophisticated? After all, we are all ordinary people, and we all have to eat whole grains. โ€

Later, the master also said that there are actually places like the market overseas, and the largest and oldest of them is the sea market around Lingshi Island, where the task classification is much more detailed than that of the Yin Capital, and if you want to register as a demon hunter in the sea market, the difficulty is also very high.

When I first heard Granny Shan and Master talk about this, I felt an indescribable awkwardness in my heart, and I always felt that the tall image of this profession had been built in my heart had changed.

The people in the industry have also become a group of snobbers who compete for money and profit.

The reason why I thought this way at the time was because I hadn't really experienced the pressure of survival.

Whether it's a cultivator or not, everyone is a **mortal, they all have to eat, three meals a day, firewood, rice, oil and salt, which one doesn't need money? If you don't have a source of income, you may not even have a place to sleep.

Whether it is a market or a sea market, the purpose of their establishment is to provide a way for people in the industry to survive, so that the industry can barely survive.

To tell the truth, if there were no such institutions, unless it was those famous factions with incense offerings, people like us would have either starved to death a long time ago, or washed their hands and did not dry their hands, and our profession would have long since declined.

At more than two o'clock in the afternoon, when it was time for the opening of the Yipinshan store, we were not good to continue to bother the mother-in-law, so we said goodbye to the mother-in-law, before leaving, the mother-in-law told me that there are many interest groups established around the market in Luoshui No. 9 Middle School, so I must be more careful after I go, don't look at it is just a middle school, but it is a real place where the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger are real, and the people who cultivate higher than me may not have it.

I repeatedly promised to be more careful, and my mother-in-law let me go.
