Chapter 4: Mythology

After carefully picking up the dust on his body, he said hello to the two Rakshasa men, Lu Yi and Feng Tiesheng walked out of the courtyard together, and when they passed through the courtyard gate, the circle of people outside lowered their heads, hid their appearance under the hood, and then automatically retreated, obviously, before the details of the other party were clear, no one would act rashly like a mad dog, plus there were some unwritten rules in the ghost market to restrain these outsiders, so there was no unexpected conflict.

When the two of them came out of it smoothly, they found that the street in front of them had changed greatly.

When the two of them led the horses into the town, the sun had not yet set, and the whole town was empty of yellow sand, like a desolate and lonely place like a ghost in the underworld, but at night, there were many people, most of them squatting quietly on both sides of the street, or simply hiding in the ruins formed after the collapse of the surrounding houses, but because it was under the moonlight, and it was not deliberately hidden, so it could still be seen vaguely.

By the bright moonlight sprinkled overhead, or some flickering candle flames in the distance, you can probably see the things placed in front of them, all kinds of things, and so on.

There are a lot of clothes for sale, and the "clothes" mentioned here are very interesting, but they are not the kind of tattered cloaks that are put on the outside, shielding from the wind and sand and sun and hiding the figure, or some intact ones, such as Jiangzhou silk, Weiguo Wei brocade and other serious fabric outerwear, but some official uniforms or military uniforms that do not know where they come from, there are complete sets, helmets, coats, boots, sold together, and some of them, such as individual tops, or separate helmets.

Some of them obviously belong to the border army of Liangguo, because there is a conspicuous tiger head embroidered on the chest of the clothes, which should be the clothes of the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army, but they are very tattered, and the traces of being cut by the knife are very obvious, and there are blood stains on it that have not been washed off, it seems that they should have been ripped off from the dead people, and some of them belong to the guards.

The sales of these clothes also seem to be very good, most of them are just put out, and soon an outsider in a black robe walks over quickly, and after asking the price in a low voice, he drops a bag of silver and leaves, without the slightest nostalgia or a closer look, let alone bargaining, of course, in the ghost market, you are not allowed to check or bargain indiscriminately.

Moreover, the ghost market is open at night, the night covers the stars, and there are few candles, basically completely through the moonlight above the head to see, where can ordinary people see things clearly, they are almost touched twice, and so out of the town, only to find that they bought a rough imitation of workmanship, that has to be recognized, and must not come back to find the seller's trouble.

Of course, in the vast majority of cases, even if you catch someone in front of you, you may not be able to recognize which one, and naturally you won't be able to find the trouble of others, and these but all those who sell things will either directly close the stall, or continue to put them in another place, without thinking about staying in place all the time, and thinking about it is also afraid of being hurt by their own buyers to come to the door.

No matter where the ghost market is, there is a good one, because they are all first-hand merchants, most of the things are not expensive, but there is everything, and sometimes you can really encounter a few good goods, although most of the time they encounter their own fakes, used to deceive people's fake and shoddy products, but as long as you can be careful not to hit the eye, this kind of unattended black market is still a good gold panning place.

When he was still in the capital, the owner of the local restaurant, Lao Huo once wanted to pull Gu Xuan to look for things in the underground black market in the capital, in fact, this is also the reason, although the black market is not visible, but it is better than the whole thing, many Ming City can not be sold, there are goods here, sometimes if the stall owner misses some treasures, and you pick it up at a low price, then it is a big profit, for example, a few years ago, someone used a few pieces of broken silver to buy back a whole piece of bluestone, after cutting it, it was full of treasure jade from Haizhou, and made a lot of money.

After that, the sellers in the black market have also learned well, if they see that you have made up your mind to buy something that is obviously ordinary, and you know that this thing is extraordinary, you will directly sit on the ground and start the price, so if you want to buy, you will directly buy a lot of it, just to cover up your true purpose and not be discovered by outsiders.

In addition to selling clothes, there are also some weapons sold here, but most of them are strange-looking Qimen weapons, if they are the kind of weapons that are taken from the corpses of border soldiers and are very well-made, they are all put out and disappear in the blink of an eye.

The guests who come and go, no matter where the people come from, speak in black words, ordinary people can't understand at all, and even in many cases it is a gesture in the comparison, the two stand together, face to face, don't even speak, both hands are covered with a cloth, just in the gesture conversation, occasionally someone speaks, the voice is also very low, if you don't listen carefully, you really think that the lonely ghosts and ghosts here gather together and whisper.

After observing the basic situation of the ghost market left and right, Lu Yi suddenly turned his head and whispered to Feng Tiesheng behind him: "Brother Feng help me keep an eye on it and see if there are any people from the Rakshasa clan on both sides." ”

Hearing this, Feng Tiesheng nodded slightly, and then agreed, and immediately opened his eyes and looked around carefully, even if these people were all sitting on the ground with their bodies shrunk and hiding in a black robe, and it was dark, only a little moonlight above his head illuminated, but he still quickly caught some clues from the time when the other party occasionally reached out to play with the goods in front of him.

"Sir. ”

Lu Yi knew that there was a result, and immediately turned his head, Feng Tiesheng whispered next to him: "The second, fourth, and seventh on the left, the third and sixth on the right, should all be from the Rakshasa clan, as for the others that are further away, they can't be seen clearly, if Mr. wants to know, he has to get closer." ”

The visible range at night is not far, and there is some sand and dust covering the eyes, which is indeed not very easy to recognize, and at this time, you can't talk about it.

Lu Yi smiled and thanked: "It's enough, bother Brother Feng." ”

Feng Tiesheng didn't reply politely, in this kind of place, the more you talk and the more you do, the bigger the flaws, and naturally you can talk less and talk less.

According to what Feng Tiesheng just said, Lu Yi observed it carefully for a while, pinched his fingers and calculated a few times, and then walked towards the fourth person on the left, and Feng Tiesheng naturally followed.

The two of them stood in front of the man's stall and found that it was a medicine seller.

The desert is dry and waterless, full of yellow sand, there are not many plants that can survive in that extreme environment, but it is rich in a strange meat plant, the rhizome is full and juicy, and can even be used to chew to quench thirst, and although the leaves seem to be thick, but after eating, it will make people paralyzed and unable to move, and is called "Bega Sahua" by the Rakshasa people in the desert.

If the leaves are plucked, carefully grinded, and then dried into powder, it is a natural hemp boiling powder, on the way back to Huangsha County in Yanzhou, the black narcissus has been used to paralyze the tall and short duo, that is, this thing, and this thing has no effective antidote, as long as you are accidentally hit, you have to lie down obediently for half an hour, and it is the only thing that the Rakshasa clan can sell to the rest of the surrounding countries.

On the dirty ground there was a tattered black cloth, on which all kinds of rough workmanship bottles and cans were placed on the ground, seeing that someone was coming, the man wrapped in a black robe did not pay attention, just hung his head, sat on the ground, and did not move.

Seeing this, Lu Yi suddenly squatted down, and happened to take a face with the other party.

This man has dark skin, isn't it a Rakshasa or something?

What's more, there is a strange pattern painted on his face, which is actually a totem passed down from generation to generation by the Rakshasa clan, representing their identity and the blessing of the clan.

In the eyes of a layman who doesn't understand, he naturally can't see anything useful, but in the eyes of an expert like Lu Yi, the identity of the other party can become obvious through these totems.

In the Rakshasa tribe, the totems that each tribe believes in are completely different, which comes from the myths they have passed down from generation to generation, and they are not simply painted with scorpions, vultures, wolves and other objects on their bodies, they will use strange and complicated patterns to represent these things, and they can barely see these patterns as their words.

And this person is exactly the person he is looking for, among the six medium-sized tribes of the Rakshasa clan, the person of the Viper tribe ranks second in strength.

Lu Yi stared at each other and whispered to each other in the most mellow Rakshasa language: "Praise be to the only Allah who is the most merciful and merciful, the great supreme god Az Tuo, the creator of all things, the god of gods, the king of kings, when the stars dim and the unquenchable flame is lit from the heavenly palace, the ancient oath will be fulfilled, the gods send me, I come with truth and salvation, O child of the viper tribe, I will see your king, and I will grant him supreme power and glory, in the name of the supreme god Az Tuo!"

Azi, this is the supreme god in the myths and legends within the Rakshasa tribe, passed down from generation to generation, is the creator of everything in the world, and is also the only Allah that their Rakshasa tribe believes in, the wolf, the vulture, the poisonous scorpion, is the first guardian it created at the same time as creation, so the status of these three is the most noble, that is, based on this, it will be used as the totem and name of the three major tribes.

The young man of the Rakshasa clan under the black robe on the opposite side was so stunned that he couldn't even look at it.

The voice of the foreigner on the other side seemed to have infinite magical power, so that he didn't even think of resisting, let alone have the slightest suspicion.

If ordinary foreigners say this kind of thing, they are afraid that they will be torn to pieces by the angry Rakshasa clan, after all, it is their supreme god, how can they be insulted by foreigners?

But when the other party said these words, he felt that everything was true, and a faint aura seemed to appear on the other party's body, which was the sign of the divine envoy!

What Lu Yi said was the most orthodox Rakshasa language, and even if the people in the stall next to him heard it, it was impossible for them to know what he was talking about.

This person's face was dull, he looked at the other side in a daze, and after a few stupid breaths, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Yi, wanting to take him back to the Viper Tribe immediately.
