Chapter 81: The Black Market (2)
With the help of the little fireflies on the side of the dark river, Youyoule gradually saw that there was a cliff more than three meters high under his feet, and the water under the cliff was very urgent, and it was impossible to wade through the water.
Looking down, I suddenly found that there is a rope ladder under the cliff, from the rope ladder can go down to the wooden stack under the cliff, the wooden stack is directly below the cliff, Youyoule lies on the cliff and looks down, only half of the plank road can be seen, the plank road extends from the deep darkness to the place where the river turns, I don't know where it leads.
You Yule can't care so much, turn over and grab the slippery rope, kick down one by one, this rope ladder is composed of planks and cables, all the year round on this dark river has been rotted by the damp gas, stepping on the plank makes a creaking sound, and it feels like it may fall down at any time.
Down to the wooden stack, Youyoule looked forward and backward, the plank road is leading to a karst cave in the backwater of the dark river, the small iron frame on the cave wall supports several high-burning white candles, silver candles green light, gloomy and abnormal, towards the candlelight, you can see a large waterproof iron gate under the cliff more than three meters high, there is a short and thick fence bridge under the door, the water tide under the bridge washes the wall under the iron gate from time to time, and the wall has been sunken into it for a long time.
Although I don't know what this place is, it feels quite strange, satisfying my curiosity, and you Yule walked forward again, walking on the plank road, while looking at the people on the other side of the dark river, those people are wearing wide clothes and thick hats, most of them are holding a cane, and a phosphor fire lantern with a blue light is hung on their heads, and in the cold cave it seems to be the soul crosser of the Styx.
The water flow at the turn of the river is also relatively turbulent, and the plank road is also climbing the stone wall higher and higher, and you have turned the corner, and there is a light in front of you, you have raised your hand to block the light, and suddenly see the strong light from the darkness, of course, your eyes will not be able to adapt, slowly open your eyes, and you will see a huge water wheel from the fingers!
When the light is no longer dazzling, Youyoule opened his eyes and looked at the water wheel in the river rapids, the river narrowed at the bend and the water flow became turbulent, and it was most suitable to place the water wheel here to generate electricity, but this did not surprise Youyoule, what surprised him was that there was a cross bridge across the two banks on the water wheel, this cross bridge made full use of the space, and blocked the water that the water wheel threw upward, forming a beautiful water curtain under the bridge.
Across the bridge, on both sides of the river are the black market shops, the dusk retro light seems to bring people into the last century, the electricity of the shops on both sides of the river is all supplied by this water wheel, just look at this water wheel is almost decades old.
You Yule walked along the black market on both sides of the river, and found that there were all kinds of strange things to buy here, from all kinds of weapons that were out of line with the times, to all kinds of instruments and devices that were left in the last era that had not been seen and could not be named, as well as strange species brought from Akebo, some of which Youyu had only heard of, and some of which had never been seen or heard of.
After shopping for a long time, I found that I still had something to do, and I saw someone chatting at the door of a store in front of me, so I walked over to say hello and asked, "Do you know anyone?" An old lady, about that tall, walked with her body slumped, dressed in purple-black linen clothes, and had a hairy black mole on her chin. β
Those few people saw Youyoule's dark face, and at a glance they knew that he was from the ground, and a shopkeeper came up and said: "We have a lot of old ladies, I don't know what you are talking about, but if you want to find someone, you can come to our store to buy a pig's nose, this thing can be used as a pet, but also to help you find someone." β
The pig's nose is a big-nosed creature like a mouse, and it seems that it is also dawning, Youyoule looked at the pig's nose in the store's cage, and said in his heart: This black-hearted boss is black-hearted enough, I will be fooled when I buy things here, and besides, I don't have anything of value on me.
Youyoule waved his hand and was about to leave, but was stopped by the shopkeeper, who was not less enthusiastic, pointed to a divination shop in front of him, and said: "You go there to ask, ask one accurately, and ensure that you can find the person you are looking for. β
I don't know if what the store said is true or not, but what the store said is so miraculous, there is no effect and there is a slight effect, Youyoule came to the divination shop with the mentality of trying, and saw that the faΓ§ade of the store read: There are quasi-high warlocks in the details, and the demigods are no different.
The card is not big, the tone is not small, I want to see what kind of good fortune, You Youle thought about walking into the store, pushing open the door and burning incense in the face, there was a person sitting on a crescent moon table with an opening facing outward in the room, that person was wearing a pointed hat, wearing a black feather suit, he couldn't see clearly and couldn't distinguish between men and women, and the same as the soothsayer in his impression, he had a transparent crystal ball in front of him, and a cushion printed with a mysterious purple pattern under the ball.
When he saw someone coming, he said in a mocking voice, "Are you here to find someone?" Sit down and talk about it. β
The man squeezed his voice, like the shrill voice of a man pretending to be a woman, and it was like a woman learning from a man with a thick voice, You Youle sat down and said, "You know I'm looking for someone?" β
The soothsayer said mysteriously, "Put your hand on the crystal ball first, and from there I can get all the answers." β
You Youle put his hand on it and said suspiciously, "I'm looking for an old lady who stole my things." β
A cloud of precipitation rose from the crystal ball, and the soothsayer seemed to see something that only she could see, and after a long time, the soothsayer seemed to be praying to God, and after praying, the soothsayer said to Youyoule, "Is it an old lady on the slope in a purple-black linen dress?" Walking is not good? β
You Youle nodded hurriedly and said, "How do you know the black and purple linen she is wearing?" It's true that she doesn't have a good way to walk, but after stealing my things, I realized that she was pretending. β
The soothsayer said, "I have been guided by God, and I know all things under heaven. β
Youyoule was fascinated and said, "Can you tell me where I can find her?" β
The soothsayer stretched out his hand and said, "Money can make ghosts grind, and every penny is a piece of goods, depending on how much money you pay." β
Youyoule rummaged through his pockets, gave him all the valuable things, and said, "Are these enough?" β
The soothsayer took out a curled black hair from a jar and put it on the crystal ball, and boom, the black hair disappeared, and the soothsayer said, "I found for you the location of the person with the black hair mole on his face, but it is still not enough, take more money!" β
Youyoule took out all the valuable things on his body and said, "No, I really don't have anything on me!" β
The soothsayer's eyes lit up, and he said, "I see that the two swords you are carrying are good, give me one, and I will tell you the location of the old woman." β
Youyoule vigilantly held the heavenly evil, protected the innocence, and said: "No, anything can be given to you, it's these two things, don't even think about it!" β
