Chapter 81: Ghost City
After saying that, the man put down the roll of paper in his hand with great regret.
Then he looked at it reluctantly, sighed, and then turned away.
At this time, the person sitting next to him raised his eyes and glanced at the three of us master and apprentice, looked directly at the roll of paper on the table and said, "If my guess is correct, it's just for this thing on the table, right?" â
The master did not directly answer the person's question, but only asked, "What is it?" Actually, I don't know too specific. â
Then he added: "I am a timid person, but I am poor. It's a contradictory feeling, anyway, I'll take a random look, if this doesn't fit, it's appropriate to find something else in the room. â
After Master said this, the tea drinker became a little interested in Master, raised his eyelids and glanced at Master, and said, "You are interesting, so feel free." â
The master did not postpone it, and sat down in the chair, reaching out and grabbing the roll of red-edged paper.
I'm interested in the ones hanging on the walls, and I really want to know what is written on those papers. Helplessly, they were all covered in black veils, and I could only stand honestly behind the master.
Master spread out the red-edged paper and began to look at it carefully.
And the man who drank the tea said next to him: "Although the remuneration or something, it is written on the paper." However, this is not all, because there is one thing that is important, and there are also some specific issues that are at stake. Therefore, it is not counted as direct remuneration. Although I released the news, I still have to explain this problem to you. â
At this moment, the master seemed to have taken a cursory look at the red-edged paper, and he couldn't see any change in the look on his face, he just handed the red-edged paper to the person, pointed to one place with his finger, and asked, "Is this the reward?" How much do you draw? Later, this money was useful to me. â
"We can't draw two or three out of a hundred, it's really insignificant." The man said this, and then said to the Master, "I really doubt that you have received the news, and what is the most important thing in the reward?" â
"I know, it's a real piece of blood jade. This kind of thing is very useful for people like us, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is also a rare treasure. I can't think of what the employer thinks. For such a thing, take such a thing out as a payment? Although Master's tone was light, the doubts in his eyes were serious.
"Oh? I can't help this. The man put down the teacup, paused, then looked at the master and said, "Besides, I said that there are conditions for getting this thing, not that you can get it if you solve the problem written on it." â
As he spoke, the man knocked on the red-edged piece of paper, and then said to the master seriously, "There are conditions attached to that. Specifically, you have to do the next thing to get it. â
"Really? Then I really want to get that piece of blood jade, and I'm scared, so let's take it. As he spoke, the master suddenly folded the red-edged paper a few times, and put the big lama into his arms.
This move stunned the tea drinker, and he couldn't help but murmur: "Master, have you seen it clearly?" Going to pick it up? â
"Got it." That's what Master said, and he stood up with his hands behind his back, as if he didn't mean to stay any longer.
Suddenly remembering something, he took out the sign from his bosom and said to the man, "With this, I don't have to pay any deposit, right?" â
The look on that person's face changed again, and he quickly stood up, took the sign in Master's hand and looked at it carefully, respectfully returned it to Master, and said, "Of course, the deposit does not need to be paid by Master." â
As he spoke, his demeanor already had a respectful look, and I don't know how many times I sighed that brand was so easy to use.
And the man continued to say while returning the sign: "Of course, although some things are embarrassing, I still have to say them to my master. That is, if you take this order, it will not appear in the store again within three months. However, after three months, if we don't get notice from the employer, we will still "
At this point, the man fell silent.
The master smiled freely and said, "I am naturally clear about this, let's see if I have this blessing to get paid in three months." â
As he spoke, the Master was about to leave.
The man chased after him two steps quickly, and said with some surprise: "Master, you said that you want blood jade, don't you ask, what about this blood jade?" â
"Blood jade, I want it. But I also have to take my life, if I can solve this normal reward matter, naturally someone over there will also talk to me about the blood jade, right? Master turned his head to look at the man.
That person somehow, under the master's gaze, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, he quickly wiped it with his sleeve, and suddenly bowed down to my master, saying: "This market seems to be mysterious, but in fact, it is just a gray area between the mundane and the real circle. Let some people who are in the know, but who are not allowed to enter the door, have a thought, and have a connection with the circle. I didn't think there would be any real masters in the circle, just small trash fish like me. Anyway, today I met, Master, please bow down to me. â
The master grabbed the man and said, "Originally, there was nothing involved, so why should I bow down and talk about it?" Add cause and effect! Don't worship, don't worship, don't worship anyone because of who is capable, that's the least worthy of worship. Besides, why am I not three or two miscellaneous fish? That's all. â
After the master finished speaking, he turned around with a smile and left, and Brother Zhengchuan and I hurriedly followed.
But I heard the man say: "Except for the king list, this list in my small store is the heaviest in the entire market." I await the good news from my father. I opened this small shop in my life, ostensibly to seek some resources, but in fact, it was just to really get in touch with the people in the 'world' I thought of in my heart. I only hope that my master can prove something for me, and die without regrets. â
When the master heard this, he looked back at him and said, "Some people, what if there are?" What if not? You only have to move forward on your own path, but how can you use others to prove your heart? If there is no first one in everything, will people in this world do nothing? Just sleep? â
After saying that, the master really didn't say anything more, and walked out of the room regardless of the shopkeeper's reaction.
After that, regardless of the respectful reactions of those who were still waiting in the shop, he pulled me and Brother Zhengchuan and left here in a hurry.
Even in the whole market, we didn't stay any longer, and Master took me and Brother Zhengchuan to take a shortcut and left the market directly through the gate.
Actually, I think the whole market is very magical, and I want to see it again, but I don't have a chance.
When I came out, I actually saw that Uncle Da's carriage was still parked here, and the master didn't talk nonsense, so he just chose Uncle Da's car and took me and Brother Zhengchuan to sit on it.
Uncle Da seems to be a silent person, the master is silent like this, he doesn't ask anything, the master takes us to sit up, and he runs away with the horse.
And as on the road when I came, sitting in the carriage, I couldn't see anything, I could only see the stars in the sky through the skylight, and it seemed that the night breeze in early summer was not hot, but a little cold.
After the master got into the car, for some reason, the person became a little groaning, and after sitting for a while, he took out the red-edged paper from the car, and then looked at the rickety oil lamp hanging on the car again.
I don't want to disturb Master, but when I think of all the things in the market, my heart is hot, and I can't sit still in the car, and I always want to say something.
Brother Zhengchuan seemed to see through my heart and said, "What? Think that market is amazing? Doesn't feel like the world is the way it should be? â
"Hmm!" I nodded heavily, I thought so.
"Actually, it's not magical at all. To put it bluntly, it's really just like what the guy just said, it's just a gray area. Brother Zhengchuan touched my head and said this to me.
"Brother Zhengchuan, what does this sentence mean?" I'm very puzzled, why does Brother Zhengchuan think it's not amazing? Who will believe this market? Isn't that something that only happens in fiction?
"I'll give you an analogy, can you understand? It's like a legendary existence zĂ i, people in the world know it, but they don't believe it very much, or even don't believe it at all, after contacting it, they will feel shocked, and after a long time, they will feel normal. This matter can be extended to life, just like everyone in the world knows that there are so-called martial arts masters, with magical kung fu, what internal strength, light skill! Can you cross the river with a reed, you can fly the eaves and walk the wall, and you can even fight a hundred? But where to find it? People who have never seen it just talk about it, and then what they think in their hearts, believe it or not, it's hard to say. Brother Zhengchuan said to me.
"You mean, this market is like a martial arts master, like that? So if you don't see it, you imagine it, and if you see it too much, it's normal. It's just a good thing to hide? I asked.
"Naturally not, strictly speaking, this market is not strictly speaking a martial arts master. can only be regarded as a gray area, like some people who know some popular boxing techniques, or even a few styles, and are more powerful than ordinary people. The positioning of this market should be like this, as if it is to gather some marginal figures, provide some various conveniences, and try to slowly approach the real 'rivers and lakes'? I don't know what the boss of this market thinks. But that's just the way it is. This market is really not a secret! Even ordinary people have their own underground market, and they don't see the same as they think it's mysterious. Brother Zhengchuan said to me.
"Really, is there?" Suddenly I felt a sense of boredom in my heart.
"Naturally, you have to ask the old man, and he said that it is really called a ghost market." After Brother Zhengchuan finished speaking, he looked up at the sky, and he didn't know what he was thinking?
