Chapter Twenty-Five, The Black Market

That was about 3 years ago, and the master was not as famous as he is now, and he was bold.

Accepted a high commission to recall the soul of an emperor during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and after half a year of preparation, the master and the client began to summon the spirit.

Everything went smoothly at the beginning of the conjuring, but when the emperor's soul appeared, a shocking accident happened, this emperor's soul had turned into a ghost, and it was extremely ferocious!

The master was seriously injured when he was defeated, and watched his client be killed by the emperor's soul that turned into a ghost, and finally saved his life because of the rescue of several peers.

This incident became the master's only failure, and it also became his nightmare.

Early the next morning, the master pulled me out of the quilt and began to draw a map of the main distribution of dragon veins.

Because the dragon vein will change from time to time in one place, although it will not leave Xi'an, it is also difficult to grasp, so it needs to be surveyed first.

Naturally, modern scientific instruments are not used to survey the dragon veins, but some special magic weapons are required.

The magic weapon that the master brought this time is called the Spirit Control Paper, which is used to control some little spirits.

"Surveying the dragon veins needs some spirits that drill into the ground to scout for us, Xiao Sen, go, I'll take you to catch the spirits."

The master led me out the door as he spoke.

In addition to the animals we know, there are special creatures living on the vast continent of China.

There are four kinds of goblins, spirits, monsters, and monsters.

Don't look at the name, it's actually a completely different creature! In order to understand the difference, I spent a lot of time researching.

To put it simply, goblins are spirits, without substance, like some small souls floating in the air, without malice, playful, with some small mana, very fond of small animals, but afraid of humans.

Spirits are physical, very small, inhabiting water or land, but far away from the city, no mana, but very psychic, some spirits can threaten humans, some are very gentle, and now there are not many of them, because the city is growing too fast.

Monsters, there are entities, there are mana, some powerful monsters can turn into human forms and live around us, and there are special monster hunters in our circle, that is, they are dedicated to hunting those monsters that harm people. Yokai are generally evolved from psychic animation, and spirits can also evolve into yokai. Able to cultivate, have spiritual wisdom.

Demon beasts, now are basically invisible, because the development of human beings has basically disappeared, and the huge body is a sign, and the wisdom of the beast is below, but the destructive power is amazing. In recent rumors, it seems that some local people have hunted a giant python with a length of dozens of meters, and this is a monster. The most famous of the monsters is in our mythological story, Jiao!

The master said that he would take me to catch spirits, and I was immediately interested, and I wanted to take a look at this strange creature that I had only heard of, and the vampire demon I saw last time was one of them.

And what the master wants to take me to catch this time is a kind of elf called the yellow squirrel spirit, which is very fast, very smart, has a very hard head, and can shuttle back and forth in the ground, which is an excellent choice for surveying the dragon vein!

If you want to find the yellow squirrel spirit, you must first find the food that the yellow squirrel spirit likes, this kind of little spirit is similar to the habits of ordinary rats, but if you use the food that the mouse likes to eat to lure it, it is useless,

At this time, you need a small ingredient that the elves are very fond of, red cloud root, a plant rhizome that will exude a very strong aroma.

Early in the morning, the master took me to visit the market, red cloud root is not uncommon, and many food merchants grow and sell in bulk.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to see the stall owner selling red cloud roots in the market, and it was the first time I saw this plant, with white spots on the red rhizomes, as if they were white clouds.

It has a long-lasting and fresh aroma.

"How much is a pound?"

The master asked casually.

"Hey, isn't this Master Jiang Tianxin?"

The master kept his head down because he was in a bad mood and didn't look at the stall owner opposite, and when he heard the other party's words, he was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his head, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Li beard, it's been a long time! Why did you come to Xi'an? ”

The master shouted enthusiastically.

Standing on the side, I suddenly wondered, is it an acquaintance again?

Li Dabeard, as his name suggests, is full of beard, and does not like to repair, looks a little sloppy, but he is very upright, very simple, and is also an old acquaintance of the master, and is a very well-known supplier of special plant materials in our circle.

He once had a lifelong friendship with the master, so the master suddenly smiled when he saw him.

"Senior Jiang Tianxin, you bought this Chiyun Root to live in the little elves, right?"

Li Bearded asked suspiciously.

"Yes, in order to catch the yellow squirrel spirit, but seriously, I'm not sure if there is a yellow squirrel spirit in the vicinity."

The master simply sat down next to Li Dabeard, and the two chatted.

"Oh, there's no way, there are really not many elves now, especially in developed cities, even sparrows are seen less, there used to be fog floating in the sky, but now it's haze, people can't live, let alone elves."

Li Dabeard sighed, I could see that because of the deterioration of the environment, his business was not good.

"However, if you're looking for a goblin, you can buy it directly."

Li Bearded approached the master and said.

"What? Buy? Isn't buying and selling elves banned by major markets? Who would dare to sell! ”

Even the master was taken aback and asked in a low voice.

"Of course it's not on the surface, Xi'an is the ancient capital, and there is an underground market where I know the location, that is, the black market, where there are little elves for sale, do you want to take a look? But let's say it first, I'll just show you, there are real and fake things inside, I advise you not to be blinded, otherwise you will spend money in vain! ”

As soon as Li Dabeard said this, the master was immediately interested.

And standing on the side, I was beating the drum in my heart, and the black market was definitely not a good place.

Whether it is the people or our circle, there is a black market. Many items that are banned by the market cannot be sold openly, and the black market is an excellent place.

Li Dabeard took us master and apprentice all the way to the vicinity of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an.

"Li Dabeard, you are not reliable, this is a well-known scenic spot in the country, not to mention the black market in this vicinity, there is not even a Fang market!"

The master walked behind Li Dabeard, his face full of confusion.

"Don't worry, you can follow me."

Li Beard patted his chest and reassured.

The three of us arrived at the edge of the wall of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, surrounded by tourists. Li Dabeard approached the master and whispered: "The wall on the southwest side of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, count the fourth row from top to bottom, count the sixth block from left to right, knock it four times, if the black market opens today, someone will open the door for you." Don't make more trouble when you enter the black market, most of them are outlaws, if you are remembered, don't panic, there are also local snakes in the black market, and the local snakes here have been saved by me, called Da Ma Ye, bald head, there is a scar on the left eyebrow, and if something happens, look for him. ”

Li Dabeard said as he retreated.

Seeing Li Dabeard leaving, I pulled the corner of the master's clothes and whispered, "Master, the black market sounds strange and panicked." ”

The master shook his head and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, go." ”

According to what Li Dabeard taught, after the master knocked on the stone bricks, a very dull voice soon came from inside.

"People in the circle?"

The master replied, "Yin and Yang agent." ”

As soon as the master finished speaking, I was surprised to see that a square stone cover was slowly revealing on the ground outside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the turf on it seemed to have peeled off on its own.

"Come down."

The dull sound disappeared, and the master opened the stone cover, and it was very dark with only a faint light, like a long stone staircase.

The master and I cautiously stepped into the stone steps, and when I completely entered the stone steps, the stone cover on my head instantly closed, blocking all the light.

"Let's go, be careful."

The master took out a spar that emitted a faint light from his waist bag, illuminating the way on the ground.

"Night Pearl, Master?"

I looked at the beautiful hedron and asked curiously.

"The pearl of the night is good! This is an ordinary luminescent spar. Don't talk, be careful and follow me. ”

The ground was slippery and wet, and there was the sound of water ticking, and I could faintly hear the noise ahead.

After walking for about 30 minutes, and continuing down, a bright light began to appear in the darkness, and as we went farther and farther, the light became more and more obvious.

After another 10 minutes of walking, a world that stunned me appeared in front of me!

A huge, chaotic, and bizarre underground black market unfolded in front of me!

The black market is very chaotic, and this chaos is not just that the stalls are not planned, but also the confusion of goods.

As soon as I lifted my feet, I was startled when I saw two long black snakes swimming at my feet.

When I looked up, I saw two unjust souls floating past, looking like they were in a hurry.

"Master, master, did you see it? There were two big red-skinned men with canine teeth! ”

I pulled the master and whispered.

"That's from the Shura clan, all of them are demonic characters, don't look at them, the Shura clan has a bad temper."

Hearing the master's words, I quickly lowered my head.

I saw that many of the stall owners weren't even human, there were monsters with tiger heads, and even two yin bosses.

The things sold are also strange, and what surprised me the most was that there were dozens of cages in front of the tiger-headed monster, and each cage was a different monster, including a snake demon, a rabbit demon, and a rat demon.

The sale of yokai is prohibited, but it is legal here.

"Master, where are we going to find the elf?"

I pressed close to the master, pulled the master's arm, and asked.

But I didn't hear a reply, I was puzzled, and when I looked up, I saw that in the crowded crowd, my master was gone! And I'm completely lost now!
