Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Mysterious Black Robe
There was a light coming from the front, Taniguchi set up a checkpoint, and several black-clothed men stood upright, their eyes were cold and solemn, exuding a fierce atmosphere.
The loose repairs with different costumes lined up to enter, and it was very orderly.
"This kind of black market, most of them are controlled by some families, if you want to enter, you must pay a management fee, which is the so-called protection fee, and fighting is strictly prohibited in the black market, these people are responsible for maintaining law and order!"
Wei Liang was afraid that Ye Xuan would not be able to understand, so he added: "If there is no strong family intervention, the bazaar will become chaotic and there will be no way to guarantee safety!" ”
Qi Tiantian interjected: "Last time, I went to the bazaar on the other side of the Wuli River with my senior brother, and it was full of murderers, forcibly seizing and snatching each other, swords facing each other, and scared people to death!" ”
Ye Xuan asked, "Which family is in charge here?" ”
"Kyoto Cao family!"
It turned out to be Liang Qianqian who replied: "The head of the family, Cao Yu, is a strong man in the Jindan period, and he is too old to be old, and his reputation is very good!" There is a strong man in the Gongji period here all the year round, and ordinary people dare not be presumptuous! ”
Ye Xuan glanced at her and asked with a smile, "Senior sister seems to be familiar with these families?" ”
"I've heard some of them once in a while!" Liang Qianqian replied vaguely.
The five of them waited in line, and Qi Tiantian pulled Ye Xuan and whispered: "Liang Qianqian is not a casual cultivator, but from the Liang family in Nanyang, and she has a marriage with the Chen family, one of the five major families, so she knows so much!" ”
Chen?
Ye Xuan immediately remembered Chen Jun's son-in-law, and couldn't help laughing.
As the crowd moved forward, it was soon their turn, and everyone who entered would take out a silver coin and throw it into the box next to it.
"This is a special coin made by the Cao family, as a circulating currency in the black market, five hundred yuan a piece, if you want to buy something, remember to go to the exchange office next to you to exchange it first!"
Qi Tiantian helped Ye Xuan pay the ticket, and the five of them entered the valley.
The first thing that catches your eye is a straight street, with simple wooden houses on both sides, brightly lit and crowded, very lively.
"Okay, according to the previous rules, let's get busy and come back in an hour!" Wei Liang said.
Lu Yuan greeted everyone and left first, followed by Liang Qianqian.
"Brother Ye, what about you? Do you want to come with us, or do you want to go alone? Wei Liang asked.
"I'm with you!"
"Okay! Let's go and sell the rune paper first, and exchange the money to buy the Qi Gathering Pill, Tian Tian feels that he is going to break through recently, and the pill is indispensable! ”
"Senior brother, I just have a little feeling, and it's not certain whether it will work out or not!" Qi Tian Tian said with a weak heart.
Her qualifications are very ordinary, coupled with her temperament, her cultivation speed is very slow, and she has no confidence in herself.
Wei Liang touched her head: "No matter what, you have to give it a try, if you really break through, I'm afraid the master will jump up happily!" ”
"Alright! I'll do my best! Qi Tiantian clenched his fists.
The three of them walked into a shop called 'Fu Gong Zhai', where a wide wooden table was placed in the center, yellow rune paper was lined up, and the ballast stones were pressed next to it, and the air was filled with the fragrance of ink.
Wei Liang is obviously a regular customer here, and when the guy saw him, he immediately laughed: "Brother Wei, you are finally here, the rune paper you drew last time has long been sold out, and the guests said that the quality is very good, so they are rushing to ask for it!" ”
"It's over!"
Wei Liang chatted with him, and then asked, "Is Boss Feng here?" ”
"Yes, wait a minute, I'll call the shopkeeper!"
Fu Qi Zhai full-time business rune paper trading, the door raised a group of rune painters, but also the purchase of rune paper, Wei Liang's ability to draw runes is from the master Qi Yang Shi learned, get the true biography, naturally more superb than others.
Shopkeeper Feng, who had a small handful of goatees, quickly walked out, his expression was very enthusiastic, and after greetings, Wei Liang took out the talisman paper from his arms, a total of fifteen, five more than before.
These runes are all low-level spells, such as fireball spells, wind blades, freezes, etc., but they are convenient and fast, and they can be launched with a wave of the hand when fighting against people, and they almost do not consume true yuan.
After careful inspection, Shopkeeper Feng happily put it away and paid on the spot, and the price was two percent higher than before.
Shopkeeper Feng said that he wanted to sign a long-term acquisition contract with Wei Liang, and the price would be preferential, Wei Liang thought about it for a while, nodded and agreed!
After that, the three of them went to the pill shop, and Wei Liang bought twenty Qi Gathering Pills at once, which also almost cost him the money he had just received.
"Okay, it's done, let's go shopping while we still have time!"
The street was very wide, and the further they went, the more lively it became, and they eventually came to a huge square.
The terrain here is open, and monks who can't afford to pay the rent of their shops can set up a stall here, and a rag is spread on the ground.
It's like a flea market, selling everything from rare and rare treasures, but it's hard to tell if it's real or fake.
This tests everyone's eyesight, some people have taken out the treasure, and some people have been deceived and bankrupt!
"Antarctic 100-year-old snow ginseng, taking it can break through the bottleneck, the quantity is not much, first come, first served!"
"Ancient talismans, unpredictable, self-defense and life-saving, come and buy it!"
"One thousand-year-old demon beast Neidan, as long as ninety-nine-eight, don't miss it when you pass by!"
The chaotic shouts were more exaggerated than the other, and those who didn't know thought they had arrived at the Immortal Treasure Land, but Ye Xuan swept it at a glance and found that it was all fake.
"Hey, this girl, the Ice Moon Sword made by the Heavenly Workshop is made from the cold and dark iron of Northern Xinjiang, with short hair, indestructible, do you want to have one?"
A man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks stopped Qi Tiantian, holding a light blue long sword in his hand, the cold light flickered, and the hilt of the sword was inlaid with jade jade, which was very beautiful.
Qi Tiantian took it hesitantly, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, his fingers touched the sword body, and he could feel a trace of coldness, obviously the material was extraordinary.
She looked at Wei Liang expectantly.
Every man has the fantasy of going to the end of the world with a sword, and every girl also has a desire for a red-clothed Hidden Blade!
Wei Liang looked embarrassed, but he couldn't resist her pitiful gaze, and asked helplessly, "How much?" ”
"Not expensive, not expensive! One thousand nine hundred and eighty-eight, produced by Tiangongfang, Tong Su is not bullied! The man smiled.
Wei Liang was directly sluggish, pulling Qi Tiantian and leaving: "I can't afford it!" Can't afford it! ”
"Senior brother!" Qi Tiantian dragged him to be coquettish.
"Hey, this little brother, the price is negotiable! For the sake of this beauty's face, I will give you a twenty-percent discount, and then erase zero, a total of 1,600 yuan, no less! ”
Wei Liang struggled to deal with the little junior sister who opened the shopaholic attribute, while Ye Xuan took the long sword and said with a smile: "Produced by Tiangongfang? ”
The man nodded matter-of-factly: "This sword is made by the master of refining, and I relied on a lot of connections to get it!" ”
"However, as far as I know, the magic weapons produced by the Heavenly Workshop will engrave a mark on the hilt of the sword, why don't you have this sword?"
The man's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed and said: "The little brother knows that he is an expert at a glance, and there is indeed such a thing, but you must know that we are a private transaction, and it is easy to be discovered with a mark, you know!" ”
His tone was vague, and Ye Xuan couldn't help but be happy: "Let's not mention this for the time being, you said that this sword is made of cold and dark iron, it is an extremely difficult refining material to obtain, and when struck with the true yuan, it will make a loud sound like a copper bell......"
Ye Xuan said, flicking his fingers on the body of the sword, only to hear a sharp sound of 'ding', which was very harsh.
"It's not like that!" He plays with taste.
Qi Tiantian didn't care about being coquettish with Wei Liang, and said with wide eyes: "This is fake? ”
Ye Xuan put away the sword and returned it to the man: "It is made of a hundred years of cold iron, and the craftsmanship is acceptable, it is a good low-grade magic weapon!" ”
The man laughed dryly, and stopped blowing nonsense: "Little brother is sharp-eyed, I admit it, don't bother!" ”
After the man left, Wei Liang took the opportunity to count Qi Tiantian, if it weren't for Ye Xuan's presence, they would have suffered a big loss!
Qi Tiantian hurriedly conducted a self-examination, and then looked at Ye Xuan with admiration: "You know a lot!" ”
"These are all basic common sense, and you will know more in the future!"
After this incident, Wei Liang became more cautious, and Qi Tiantian stopped shouting to buy things.
They came to the end of the square, where there were only two or three people setting up their stalls, and business was bleak.
"Hey, you see, that guy is dressed so strangely!" Qi Tiantian pointed to a monk in the corner and said.
The man sat cross-legged, wrapped in a black robe, completely enveloping his body, unable to tell his age, and in front of him, a black cloth was spread, and strange things were placed on it.
There are strangely shaped stones, eggs of unknown animals, colorful glass bottles, and tattered and yellowed books.
He didn't shout like the others, but sat there in silence, motionless.
At this time, there was a burly man standing in front of the stall, holding an egg with golden spots in his hand, and when he looked closely, his eyes flashed with excitement.
"This is the egg of the third-order demon beast flamingo, I can't be mistaken! This monster is very powerful, if I can absorb the energy inside the eggshell, I can break through the bottleneck! ”
Dahan carefully stroked the eggshell, feeling the huge energy contained in it, and his heart was excited, but he didn't show it, but asked in his usual vicious tone: "How to sell this?" ”
"Barter!"
The black-robed man's voice was hoarse, like a frosted stone: "Take out what you think is valuable and exchange it with me!" ”
The big man squinted at him, took out a red rune paper from his arms, and said, "This is a mid-level fire dragon talisman, worth a thousand gold, how about it?" ”
"Scrap!"
The black-robed man's answer made a green tendon appear in the corner of the big man's eyes.
He gritted his teeth, suddenly took off the short axe on his waist, and shouted: "This is the high-grade magic weapon flying thunder axe that Lao Tzu finally obtained, together with the fire talisman, exchange it with you, it's okay, right?" ”
"Scrap!"
"I'll add another five hundred coins, this is my entire net worth!"
"Scrap!"
The black-robed man kept repeating these two words, and even his tone did not change.
"You're looking for death, aren't you? Do you know who the uncle is? ”
The big man pointed at him and scolded: "Don't pretend to be a ghost with Lao Tzu here, I still have to take this egg today!" Give you two money, and you will be the uncle and pity you! ”
He grabbed a handful of silver coins and smashed them at the black-robed man.
