Chapter 82: Righteousness
The night was like ink, slowly infiltrating the blue sky.
The labyrinthine shanty town was lit up with oil lamps, and a dim glow emanated from the holes that served as windows, like a wild beast crouching in silence, opening its cloudy eyes.
Under Liu San's guidance, Wu Ye twisted and wound in the winding alleys, the alleys in this area were very narrow, and when the two of them walked opposite each other, they had to squeeze sideways and squeeze through.
From the hole above their heads, from time to time stretched out a head that could not see clearly, with a somewhat vigilant gaze at the two uninvited guests, Liu San had to lift the tattered lantern to his head from time to time to illuminate his face.
After going around three or four times, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated wooden house, Liu San knocked on the door three times rhythmically, and a woman asked, "Who?"
Liu San didn't answer, knocked on the door twice, there was a "bang" inside, the iron lock was unlocked, and a fat woman opened the door, Liu San stepped forward and bit the woman's ear a few words, the fat woman's face was slightly better-looking, and she got out of the way.
Liu San turned his head and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Big brother, I have told you everything, you can find any goods here, although you choose slowly, they are the cheapest prices, put a hundred hearts!
Wu Ye bent down through the low door, the small room was filled with a smell of bacon oil, four unkempt haired, muscular men were sitting around a broken wooden table drinking, with guys bulging around their waists, and there were four long knives with cold light on the railing under the wooden table, not even scabbards, ready to draw out and fight.
This kind of scene is no stranger to Wu Ye, and he has already inquired and understood along the way, this so-called "black market" is actually a stolen goods and smuggling market, where the sale is not stolen goods, or goods that the government prohibits private trading, and then there are goods from the Central Plains countries on Thursday.
If you want to do this business, of course, you must first say hello in the government, but all kinds of black and black things are still emerging in endlessly, so it is natural to raise a few ruthless thugs.
The man who was sitting in front of Wu Ye saw that he had a tiger's back and a rather ugly face, so he put down his wine glass and asked, "Do you have a guy with you?"
Wu Ye shook his head, fumbled in his arms for a long time, grabbed a dagger made of wolf leg bones, and asked, "Does this count?"
This kind of dagger is the usual guy used by hunters in the mountains, it is used to slaughter prey, peel the skin and cramp, and it can't hurt people at all, a few men laughed, and the man who asked just now said: "After entering, you will put your own bright spots, and there are distinguished guests inside, you can't afford to provoke them." ”
With a winkle in her eyes, the fat woman pushed open a greasy cabinet in the corner, revealing another door, and when it opened, there was a rather empty courtyard inside.
Wu Ye walked in to know that there was a lot of things inside, the courtyard of more than 20 zhang long and short was surrounded by corridors, and dozens of shelves were placed on the corridors, and the surrounding houses were used as warehouses, and there were many goods directly spread with straw mats and placed in the yard.
Several guests were silent and chose for themselves, and there were a few elite guys standing next to them, looking at them coldly, waiting for the guests to come forward to introduce them when they needed them.
Wu Ye is still the first time to come to the black market, but he is not in a hurry to go straight to the topic, first wandered around the corridor, and found that the goods in the black market are really dazzling, very complete, mainly divided into several categories, including success methods, weapons, spirit runes, elixirs, and sundries, which are mixed with a little luxury goods from the Central Plains, the prices are surprisingly high, and there is a guy eyeing each luxury item.
Wu Ye was not interested in the silk silk from the Central Plains, but a few spirit runes aroused his curiosity, and he called his friends to inquire about it, only to know that these so-called "spirit runes" were really far from the spirit runes that he imagined could seduce the heavenly thunder.
For example, a "fire charm" worth one silver knife coin has the effect of lighting a small flame and can only be used three times!
There is also a kind of "mosquito repellent charm", which is attached to the chest, which can avoid mosquito nuisance, which sounds like a spiritual charm of practical value, but his mother's "mosquito repellent charm" can really only repel mosquitoes, and it can't be repellent by changing flies, and a mosquito repellent charm worth two silver knife coins can only manage for three hours at most!
There are more than a dozen kinds of spirit runes in a dazzling array of kinds, all of which are auxiliary, and there is not even half an attack rune, and there are all kinds of problems, the only thing that makes Wu Ye feel excited is the "water purification talisman", thrown into the water, it can clean the water in an instant, and filter the dirty and even potentially toxic water source into clean water that can be entered.
It's just that the price of this one-time water purification charm has reached an unbearable golden knife money!
Although Wu Ye was not short of money, he didn't want to attract the attention of others, so he hesitated for a moment and gave up.
He knew that these spirit runes were all smuggled from the Central Plains countries, maybe in the Central Plains countries, they were just things that were casually drawn by low-level disciples in the cultivation sects, and they were not worth three melons and two dates, but when it came to the Wuwei Kingdom, which did not have a cultivation sect, the price would naturally roll up.
The price of weapons is very close to the people, Wuwei Kingdom has neither a cultivation sect, nor can it refine powerful runes, so it has to work the manufacturing technology of ordinary weapons, under the threat of the tide of demon beasts, the craftsmen of Wuwei Kingdom have upgraded the manufacturing process of ordinary weapons to a perfect state, especially those machines that do not require manpower, and they have reached the point of reaching the peak.
Wu Ye looked at the rows of weapon racks, his eyes sparkled while he looked at them, and all kinds of machine bracket weapons made his saliva drool, what a serial crossbow, what a rainstorm pear flower needle, he even saw a weapon called "a swarm of bees", and the power source used turned out to be black powder!
The wisdom of the working people is truly limitless!
Wu Ye exclaimed.
According to his understanding, the scientific and technological level of the Pangu Continent was at most equivalent to the Qin and Han dynasties that he was familiar with, but he did not expect that under the threat of demon beasts, the Wuwei people were more than a thousand years ahead of the times, and even gunpowder weapons were manufactured! Of course, the power of gunpowder weapons at this time must be very regrettable, because the price of this "swarm of bees" is only one-tenth of that of "Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle".
Even the guy was embarrassed to lie to him, to be honest, this thing couldn't even kill a wild boar, so he could only set off a cannon into the sky and shoot a firework, playing the role of "a cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops to meet each other".
In the spirit of "if you have money, you don't need it, it's straw paper", Wu Ye came with a serial crossbow and a rainstorm pear flower needle, and the "swarm of bees" also swept two cylinders, which is cheap anyway!
As for those pills, they and spirit runes are all the way, the price is extremely expensive, and the effect is very small, Wu Ye glanced at it twice and lost interest.
Just as he was about to ask the guy what the price of the "Iron Cloth Shirt" exercise, there was a sudden noise at the other end of the corridor.
A few roe deer-headed rats and men dressed as house slaves surrounded a teenager, grinning and pointing fingers.
Wu Ye didn't want to do much, but behind those evil slaves, there was a person who was very familiar.
"Isn't this the one I saw at the city gate during the day, the son and brother from the Western Qin Marquis Mansion?"
Wu Ye was very impressed by this gentleman who wore rings on his ten fingers, since this person was so showy in the convoy of the Western Qin Marquis Mansion, he was obviously an important figure in the West Qin Hou Mansion, looking at his age, this German surname, ** not far from ten, was the son of the Western Qin Marquis.
And surrounded by this gentleman and his evil slaves, it was a handsome young man of sixteen or seventy, with a somewhat thin figure, wearing a patched, white-washed green shirt, looking like a poor scholar, but there was a dignified and majestic air between his eyebrows and eyes, and his eyes were like two warm jade, blooming with infinite light, so that demons and monsters did not dare to infringe.
"This young man actually has such a strong righteousness!"
Wu Ye was taken aback.
He could see that this young man's steps were vain, his muscles were relaxed, he was a pure scholar, and he had not practiced martial arts, but the heroic righteousness exuded from his body was even stronger than the aura of a tyrant exuded by Qi Gongzi!
Could it be that this young man is also a true genius?
Wu Ye's heart moved, pretending to choose exercises, and quietly approached this group of people.
I heard the short, fat, meaty-faced gentleman sneer:
"Okay, you Bai Yi, do you dare to disobey your father's order, run out and secretly buy exercises, and want to learn martial arts secretly?"
