Chapter 44: The True Face of the Black Market

Hua Ziyu said: "The black market should have been cut from the world of realization by a certain master, using a rune array, just like cutting a cake. However, in order to communicate with the real world, the designers of the rune array left a passage. ”

"When the passage is opened, the connecting parts of the two spaces will rub and collide, and the gray mist in front of you is a special protective device used to offset the damage caused by the friction and collision of the two spaces, and it can also camouflage the entrance. ”

Wang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, "There is such a powerful rune array, could it be that the black market is the mastery of a certain eighth-level Force Grandmaster in the past?"

Hua Ziyu shook her head and said, "I haven't dealt with the black market before, so I don't know much about it. Moreover, the origin of the black market is very mysterious, and so far, there is not a single convincing claim. As for whether it was done by a legendary Force Master before, it is even more impossible to guess. ”

Wang Xiaotian asked, "Professor Hua, if you want to hide a part of the space, there should be an easier way, why do you want to cut it?"

Hua Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "The kind of mode you said, shielded with a rune array, I've seen it in Red Flame Castle. In that way, it was just a temporary folding of the space where the Red Flame Castle was located, so as to achieve the purpose of concealment. ”

"It's like having a piece of paper and you write a few lines on it, and you don't want people to see those words, so you can fold the part of the writing so that you don't see it. However, this method is not sustainable. That's what Red Flame Fort uses. ”

"The black market takes the way to tear the part of the writing directly from the original piece of paper. Dip it on when you need it. Comparatively speaking, cutting space is technically countless times more complex than folding space. The amount of energy required is unimaginable. So far, I haven't seen this pattern anywhere else. ”

Wang Xiaotian asked, "Professor Hua, are you saying that we have entered, but in fact, we have already left the Tianjie Market and arrived in another space?"

Hua Ziyu nodded.

"Wouldn't that be dangerous?"

Hua Ziyu thought for a while and said, "I can't say. When you go in, you must be careful, especially not to act without permission. Got it?"

"Understood. ”

Hua Ziyu led the way into the gray mist. Wang Xiaotian followed closely. Xia Xianlong stretched out his hand to Kabal and asked him to go in first. Cabal thanked him and stepped into the gray mist.

Xia Xianlong took out an egg-sized metal ball from his arms, walked to the corner of a house on the side of the road, pressed the metal ball against the wall, and pressed the switch on its top. The metal ball flashed red twice, and then fell silent.

This metal ball is the space guide mark that Zhou Ziheng handed over to Xia Xianlong. If Xia Xianlong and the others feel that they may encounter danger, they can activate the space guide and leave clues. In the future, Zhou Ziheng can track this according to the space guide.

The reason why Xia Xianlong put the space guide sign at the entrance of the black market was mainly because he heard Wang Xiaotian's inquiry, and he was also worried that the black market might be dangerous, so he arranged for the future in advance.

Supposedly, it is better and more direct to wear the space guide on the body. However, Hua Ziyu said just now that the space where the black market is located is cut out of the real space, and if they get into trouble in the black market, even if there is a space guide, Zhou Ziheng may not be able to track the past directly. If you don't do it, you will pit Zhou Ziheng. For the sake of safety, Xia Xianlong decided to put the guide sign outside, next to the entrance of the black market.

After doing this, Xia Xianlong looked around, found no suspicious characters, and turned around and walked into the gray mist.

After Xia Xianlong walked into the gray fog, two more figures appeared on the street. They walked along both sides of the road and walked directly to the place where Xia Xianlong put the space guide marker.

Among these two people, one is the owner of the hotel where Wang Xiaotian and they eat, and the shatuo man who bulges behind his back. One was a tall, fat human man in his sixties, wearing a leather apron and two knives pinned to his waist, a boning knife and a huge boning knife.

Boss Shatuo looked at the metal ball and asked, "What is this?" as he spoke, he reached out as if to take it down.

"Don't move. The old human man dressed as a butcher hurriedly stopped Boss Shatuo, "This is the space guide." Only the Force Master, or even the Force Grandmaster, would use this thing. ”

"If you touch it just now, its owner will sense it right away. If we were here, within his teleportation range, the two of us would face a Force Master directly in the blink of an eye. ”

Boss Shatuo patted his chest with a scared face, "I'm scared to death." Butcher Hu, what should we do now?"

Hu Butcher thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a look first." The wave of people who went in just now may not be enemies, but may have come to do big business. Wouldn't it be a pity if we messed it up?"

Shatuo boss said: "They should be related to the wave of people two days ago, let me tell you......" He told him what happened in the hotel just now, 1510.

Butcher Hu listened and said, "If it has something to do with the wave of people two days ago, then it has nothing to do with us." The rights and wrongs between the Canaan Federation and the Eastern Chu Kingdom, let's just watch the excitement, there is no need to get involved. Do you say?"

Boss Shatuo nodded, "You know your kind best, I listen to you." ”

Hu Butcher smiled, "Haven't you old camel always liked to go against me?

Boss Shatuo said: "When I am older, I have seen a lot of things, and my temper is naturally not so stubborn." Your business is good today, too. ”

Butcher Hu nodded and said, "It's okay." It's just that these people have been too cautious recently, and they are all well-behaved, and it's not easy to start. Alas, there are fewer and fewer of those big fat sheep who are arrogant. If this continues, sooner or later we will have to completely change our careers and do legitimate business. ”

Boss Shatuo said: "It's not bad to have a legitimate business. Although the income is less, the customers come diligently, and they can still support their families. The water flows for a long time. ”

Butcher Hu thought for a moment, "What you said makes a lot of sense. Then let's all restrain the point, those rabbit cubs, lest the greed for money break the rules and cut off the long-term financial route. ”

This Hu butcher is the descendant of the first gang of bandits to occupy the Tianjie Market. And the owner of the Shatuo Hotel is the leader of the Shatuo people. Since the two sides negotiated and ruled the streets, they have been at peace for more than 100 years.

Initially, they did nothing in the Heavenly Street Market. The caravans that came to settle in either spent a lot of money to buy peace, or even people and camels, and none of them could live and walk out of the Tianjie Ruins. They sent people to sell the goods and make a windfall.

This kind of business that has not been opened for three years and has been open for three years, they have been doing it for decades. It's just that because they are notorious, the caravan will not come here unless there is really no way. Therefore, their days are also hungry and full.

Suddenly, one night, a gray mist appeared in the Tianjie Market, and then several people came out of it. The residents of Tianjie Market rushed up without thinking much when they saw the business that was delivered to their door.

Unexpectedly, these people who came out were all very high-level cultivators, and their strength was very, very good. Although there were a few fifth-level cultivators among the residents of Tianjie Market, most of them were ordinary people and low-level cultivators. Three strikes and five divisions by two, and those men knocked them all down.

They didn't kill them, they just asked what place they were, how far they were from Dushant, Tashkent, and Kashgar, and what their directions were. And then

The men left in a hurry.

The group of "good people" who were beaten down in Tianjie Market looked at each other, and they were very frightened of the strange gray fog. Everyone wanted to know what was inside the gray mist, but no one dared to go inside.

After dawn, the residents of Tianjie Market noticed that the gray fog had disappeared. Everyone was both puzzled and happy. I wonder how it disappeared before we could figure out what was going on? Happily, don't worry about it, for in the middle of the night strange people came out of it and beat them down again.

However, in the evening, the strange gray fog reappeared. The residents of Tianjie Market stood in front of the gray fog with fear and curiosity again. This time, they waited all night, but no one came out.

After dawn again, the gray fog disappeared. Instead of going to sleep, the residents of the Heavenly Street Market gathered together and engaged in lively discussions and quarrels. Then, it was unanimously decided that tonight, one of the bold ones on each side would go quietly into the gray fog.

As night fell, the gray fog appeared, and two bold residents, under the gaze of everyone, walked into the gray fog. Then, the crowd waited outside anxiously.

After about an hour, the two of them came out of the gray fog, and the crowd immediately surrounded them, asking about the situation inside.

The two told the residents of the Heavenly Street Market that inside the gray mist was a market about the size of the Heavenly Street Market, and its name was Black Market. There, as long as you have money, you can buy anything you want.

The people in the black market are very powerful, much more powerful than the people who beat them down. After they entered, they were caught by the people inside and interrogated for a long time. The two of them didn't dare to hide it, and told everything they knew.

The people inside listened to it and explained to them, and in the future, many people will come to Tianjie Market and enter the black market through Tianjie Market. These are the customers of the black market, and they want to entertain these people. They can also come to the black market on a regular basis to buy things, and the prices can be discounted.

Since then, Tianjie Market has found a new way to get rich. However, they have not completely given up on the traditional way of making a fortune. It's just that over the years, there have been fewer and fewer transactions that have no capital.

After Wang Xiaotian entered the gray mist, he saw a bright light in front of him, which seemed to be a hole. He looked around and couldn't see anyone else at all. He hesitated for a moment, then decided to continue walking towards the light.

Through the bright light, Wang Xiaotian found that he was in a white mist. He walked more than ten steps in the white mist, and the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.

When he looked closely, he saw a low wall of rammed earth in front of him, and the wall was mottled and uneven, and the head of the wall was uneven. The place where he was standing was the gate of the low wall, and from here, he could see that inside the low wall, there were many small houses made of rammed earth, and many cultivators of different colors entering and exiting each house.

Some of them knew each other, and as they walked, they smiled and said hello, greeting each other, and saying, "Oh, Zhang Chengshi, you are here too." "Li Chengshi hasn't seen him for a long time, so he will go out and drink two glasses together." "It's not nutritious. Then, without stopping, each going to his own end. Others lowered their heads and hurried away.

Wang Xiaotian looked back and found that there was the white mist not far behind him. After a while, Cabal walked out of the white mist, and when he saw him, he immediately greeted him, "Wang Xiaotian, thank you for waiting for me." ”

Wang Xiaotian was a little embarrassed by his politeness, nodded, and said vaguely: "It should be, it's good to have a care when you are together." ”

After another moment, Xia Xianlong also came out of the white mist. He greeted Wang Xiaotian and Kabal and asked, "Where's Professor Hua?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head, "I didn't see him when I came out." Maybe he went in early. Why don't we go in and have a look?"
