Chapter 70: Kyoto Ghost Market
Tan Xuan stretched out his hand and pulled me out of the coffin.
It was an amazing experience.
Two large living people came out of the coffin.
"Welcome to the two masters~ to the ghost market in Kyoto." A woman in a cheongsam in red with a graceful and uneven figure, wearing a white mask, and her face could not be seen.
"One black, one white." Tan Xuan said strange things to her.
"Wait a moment, two masters." Not far behind the woman was a table with masks of various colors.
Looking around, we were in a peculiar courtyard, with three people standing under a pavilion.
The courtyard was surrounded by smooth high walls, estimated to be about ten zhang high, and there was no door on all sides, it was completely a cage of trapped beasts, and he didn't know where he was. In front of Tan Xuan and I was a staircase leading to the underground, with candles shining brightly and bottomless.
The cheongsam woman's slender hand handed over two masks of the same style and white but different colors, the mask was grimace-shaped, bared teeth, and a few green tendons were drawn on both sides, which looked a little hideous.
Tan Xuan took the black mask and brought it himself, and handed me another white mask.
I didn't say more, I put on the mask, and found that the quality was actually quite good, breathable and comfortable, and it would not respond to people.
"Talk as you go." Tan Xuan took the initiative to walk down the stairs.
"I wish you two masters, have a good time." The cheongsam woman bowed slightly.
Going down the stairs, we should have come to the underground, the passage along the way is very spacious, wide and high, that is, the bottomless has been extended down, and there is a candle lit on both sides of the passage every five steps, swaying slightly.
Tan Xuan explained to me as he walked: "Master, this is the famous ghost market in Kyoto, the rumored place outside the law. In the ghost market, their own people are all dressed in red and with white masks, and their clothes are embroidered with unique grimace patterns, which are still very recognizable.
We now go down from the top, there are four floors.
The basement floor is a shopping and auction area; Specializing in selling and trading many unsavory things, strange everything, there is nothing you can't think of here, only what you can't think of.
The second basement floor is the entertainment and gambling area; There are decorations in all kinds of gambling games in the south and north of the world, there are special people sitting in the village, buying and leaving, the odds are fixed, and often some people come down overnight and make a lot of money; There are also people who come down overnight and lose their fortunes.
The third basement floor is a tavern and office area; On the third floor, as long as you have money, you can buy people, buy officials, kill people, beg for life, all the dark transactions you can think of will be accepted, as long as you have money, someone will do things for you.
The fourth basement floor is the duel and ring area; It is also the lowest level I know, where all the battles are held are life and death, there is no victory or defeat on stage, only life and death, and those who survive are the winners, and the prize money is extremely rich. Everyone can bet on victory and defeat, and bet on life and death.
In the ghost market, there are also red-clothed and white-faced patrols, which we call "Blood Shura", who are responsible for maintaining order, especially the first three floors. No one is allowed to fight, fight, or disturb the order of the ghost market, and all contradictions are resolved in the ring of life and death. ”
"It's unbelievable," I was speechless and shocked.
Tan Xuan continued: "As for the mask, the first role is to protect oneself from being recognized; The second role is to distinguish identity, the noble and the lowly in the world are orderly, and it is naturally more obvious in the ghost market.
As far as I know, there are five types of masks: white, purple, black, gold, and red, and all of them have the same style but different colors.
The first way to get a mask is to consume; The new guest is the White Mask; When you spend 10,000 gold, you can exchange it for a purple mask; Spend 100,000 gold to exchange for a black mask; Spend millions of gold to exchange for a golden mask; Spend tens of millions of gold to get the Red Mask.
The second way to get a mask is to fight; In the Ring of Life and Death, you will get a purple mask for ten victories, a black mask for thirty victories, a golden mask for fifty victories, and a red mask for one hundred victories, becoming the new "Hades of the Ghost City", getting huge rewards, and then you can no longer participate in battles.
Purple and black masks are common; Golden masks are extremely rare, but they can still be seen occasionally, and as for the red masks, I have never seen them before. ”
"The ring of life and death gets a red mask, that's not... Want to win a hundred games in a row and kill a hundred people?" I was a little incredulous.
Tan Xuan nodded: "That's right." It is said that since the establishment of the ghost market, only one person has won a hundred consecutive games and won the title of "Ghost City Hades", and there has never been such a killing god since then. ”
Descending the stairs, I finally came to an underground room.
The room was covered with a fine animal skin carpet and lit with candles. The depth of the room is not three zhang, high and high, there are no superfluous furnishings, and it looks empty.
On the right-hand side is a man dressed in red and wearing a white grimace mask, sitting behind a tall table, and directly in front of us is a vermilion old wooden door.
Tan Xuan led me to the right-hand side: "This is the exchange area to enter the ghost market. The first step in entering the ghost market is to exchange ghost coins first.
Like masks, Ghost Coins come in five colors, white, purple, black, gold, and red.
The exchange rate here is fixed, and the outside ten gold coins are exchanged for a white ghost coin, a hundred gold coins are exchanged for a purple ghost coin, a thousand gold is exchanged for a black ghost coin, ten thousand gold is exchanged for a golden ghost coin, and one hundred thousand gold is exchanged for a red ghost coin. ”
We went to the table and stood still.
The man sitting looked up at us and asked us lifelessly, "Two masters, how much do you change?" ”
"Please exchange me for 10,000 gold and 100 purple ghost coins." Tan Xuan said as he took out a stack of golden tickets from his chest and put them on the table.
The man stretched out his hand, grabbed the golden ticket and counted it, then took out two round purple coins from the drawer, pushed them in front of us, bowed his head, and said no more.
Is this a ghost coin?
I grabbed a ghost coin and looked at it carefully.
Small, two-finger-sized, round, solid, a little heavy, it should be cast in metal, the surface is a layer of purple substance, one side is engraved with the word ghost city, and the other side is engraved with a hideous grimace.
Tan Xuan grabbed half of the ghost coin and stuffed the other half into my hand.
"It's as simple as that? Aren't you afraid of accidents?" I asked Tan Xuan sideways.
Tan Xuan shrugged: "It is said that many people have thought about it before, and even robbed it, but... All dead, no exceptions, never. ”
I was skeptical: "It looks amazing." ”
Tan Xuan took a step: "By the way, in the casino on the second floor and the gambling game in the life and death arena on the fourth floor here, all single bets are at most one time to place a purple ghost coin, which is a rule of death." There is no restriction on the trading auction on the first floor and the service on the third floor, but there is also a fee for seeing things and things. ”qs
"This is new, and it actually restricts gamblers." I said as I kept up with Tan Xuan's pace.
Tan Xuan walked to the vermilion ancient wooden gate, pushed open the vermilion gate with both hands, turned his head and said loudly to me:
"Welcome to the commercial area on the first floor of the ghost market!"
