Chapter 32: Underground Trading Market

The slate was very old, and there was damp moss on it, obviously as if no one had been here for a long time, and by the dim light, Shen Jiming saw his shadow swaying on the mottled ancient stone wall, and his heart was hairy.

A bend ...... Another bend...... Another bend......

Shen Jiming felt that this step down was very long, as if it would never end, just when he was terrified and wondered if he would enter the Netherworld Mansion if he walked like this, his eyes suddenly became open, and a hall with two hundred square meters appeared in front of him.

It was an extremely old hall, the floor, the walls, and the roof were all made of blue-black stone bricks, and in many places there were even broken cracks, and each stone brick was carved with various ancient lines and runes, and there were mosses and ferns growing in the cracks, which looked like a tomb buried deep in the ground and never saw the light of day for many years.

There was a huge bronze ancient tripod burning in the center of the hall, and dozens of torches were inserted on the stone walls around it, so the entire stone hall looked quite bright, and what made Shen Jiming especially relieved was that there were many people in the hall, and there were thirty or forty of them.

It is not surprising that these people look good, there are men and women, old and young, but there are all kinds of clothes, some wear suits, some wear robes, some wear long shirts, some wear shorts and shirtless, and even Taoist priests and bald monks wearing Taoist robes.

These strange people get together, and the scene looks quite weird, which makes Shen Jiming feel like he has entered a parallel world that is incompatible with real society.

The men were scattered in the hall, most of them with a hide or newspaper or dirty cloth in front of them, on which were some bottles and cans or all sorts of strange things.

Fragments of gold, stone and jade, tattered swords, bracelet ornaments, mirrored combs, bones and hairs, strange fruits, tree roots, flowers, ...... There are even human skulls among them.

There were also seven or eight of them wandering the halls, or crouching in front of the stalls and whispering to the stall owners.

Shen Jiming stood at the entrance of the hall in a daze, looking at the strange and absurd scene in front of him, and his mouth grew up to stuff a big duck egg.

It was a long time before he turned his stiff neck, his cervical vertebrae rattling and rubbing.

Nima is so mysterious, it turns out to be an underground antique market?

But he almost understood in an instant, this seemed to be a dark trading market hidden underground, and everything here was not visible.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiming felt a little frightened.

If you appear here, will you be approached by the police?

And everyone here has a serious face and doesn't communicate with each other, and none of them look like good people, maybe their usual occupation is to rob tombs and kill people and other dark things.

Shen Jiming slowly walked up to a middle-aged man who looked thin like a monkey closest to him, "Friend, do you know who the boss of this trading place is?"

The middle-aged man like a thin monkey looked at him and said, "You're here for the first time!"

Shen Jiming nodded again and again.

"You don't usually see the boss here, as long as you have an invitation card, you can come in!" the thin monkey shrugged.

Shen Jiming was speechless for a moment, feeling that the possibility of finding the owner of the wallet was very small, but after thinking about it, he only recognized the card and did not recognize the person here, and these people also had mysterious origins, and it was estimated that after getting together on the night of the full moon and trading together, the scattered people in the north and the south of the world were not connected with each other, and I am afraid that it would not be easy for the police to target them.

Shen Jiming felt a little moved in his heart, maybe he could still pick up a few antiques here, maybe he could get some money in the antique market.

Although Shen Jiming himself is not a researcher of cultural relics, but he has been mixed on the construction site for more than a year, and he has seen a lot of gadgets in bits and pieces, especially Lao Liang, the project manager of Jiutai Hengchang, likes antiques and jade very much, and he has seen a lot of them before, and Shen Jiming can still see some simple things, besides, don't buy things that are too expensive, this is the iron rule that Lao Liang told him to be a novice, so as not to be fooled by taking medicine.

"How is it?, interested in this ring?" The thin monkey suddenly became interested when he saw Shen Jiming's eyes fall on a ring in front of him.

Shen Jiming nodded and picked up the ring and looked at it, it was as black as jade, cold in the hand, there were slight traces of friction on it, and there was a faint crack in it.

"How to sell it?" asked Shen Jiming.

"This is the legendary storage ring, eight thousand star coins!" said the thin monkey quickly.

"Storage ring?" Shen Jiming almost didn't bite his tongue off, and looked at the thin monkey with a blank expression.

"You picked up your invitation card, right?" the thin monkey was a little speechless.

Shen Jiming hesitated for a moment and said, "A friend sent it!"

The thin monkey snorted coldly and didn't say much, this kind of invitation card can't be bought even with more money, how can someone else give it away.

Facing a newcomer who didn't understand anything, the thin monkey disappeared without a trace in an instant with a little interest, and couldn't help but take the ring back from Shen Jiming's hand and put it on the ground, rolled his eyes and said: "Your luck is good, you can pick up invitation cards, but these things are all things excavated from different ancient ruins, you need to use star coins to buy, or use things of the same value to exchange, you just have an invitation card to use fart, without star coins here you can't buy a hair." ”

"What are Star Coins?" asked Shen Jiming blankly.

"Oh, this kind!" the thin monkey pulled out a wallet and opened it, pulling out a colorful bill.

"This is a star coin?" Shen Jiming almost bit his tongue off, and then quickly opened his backpack and took out a few similar banknotes from it.

"Huh~ You have star coins, where did you come from?" the thin monkey showed a hint of surprise on his face.

"Someone else sent it!" Shen Jiming said seriously this time.

The thin monkey was completely speechless, but a smile appeared on his face again and said, "It's good to have star coins, if you like this storage ring, I'll give you a six-fold discount, only four thousand five hundred star coins, how about it?"

Shen Jiming immediately pouted and stood up, this kind of thing that will be discounted when he sees money is estimated to be worthless, although the name sounds like a tall storage ring, but if anyone believes it, it is definitely a big mallet.

Storage rings, that is a legendary thing that can only be used by immortals, if it is true, it would have been bought by the big forces to be sliced and studied, and it can still be traded in this kind of underground black market that is not serious at first glance? Or even if it can come here, it is definitely not something that this skinny monkey-like guy can get his hands on.

Shen Jiming has also been to the Erxianqiao Market in Yizhou's antique street a few times, and the more fierce the seller and things are the more flickering.
