Chapter 212: Ghost City
Whether it is to break through the golden pill, or to find the materials needed to break through the golden pill.
All need to spend a lot of spirit stones.
In order to break through to the consummation of foundation building, within three years of retreat, Hou Jiuming had exhausted the spirit stones and resources on his body.
Therefore, he now continues to find a stable channel to make money.
"This son, the medicinal materials on your prescription are all rare in the world, and any one that appears will immediately arouse the pursuit of a large number of people, and it is a valuable thing.
Our Rejuvenation Hall has been open for hundreds of years, and we have only seen it a few times, and we really can't do anything about the medicinal materials on the prescription, and not only our Rejuvenation Hall, but also other pharmacies in the city, there is no way that there will be medicine on the prescription. ”
Hearing his words, Hou Jiuming pretended to frown and asked unwillingly, "Isn't there any other place where you can buy these medicinal materials?" ”
Seeing Hou Jiuming's appearance, the old man thought that he was really in an emergency, and with the benevolent attitude of the doctor, he thought for a while and said, "It's not nothing, it's just that it's too dangerous.
Childe looks like a scholar, and if you go, it's a bit inappropriate. ”
The old man's words were euphemistic, in fact, he told Hou Jiuming that there is a place to sell medicine, but you are a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, even if you go, you can't buy it.
Even if you buy it, you may not be able to bring it back.
When Hou Jiuming heard this, he immediately realized that this might be a ghost market or something, and immediately, he said sincerely,
"Old gentleman, these medicines are very important to me, they are related to my life, I must buy them, and I ask the old gentleman to give me advice." This is very firm.
The old man knew at a glance that he would not hit the south wall and not look back, and seeing that he had this awareness, he no longer concealed it, leaned forward, and said in a low voice.
Small kiosk
"At the beginning of each month, at midnight, the ghost market of the ten-mile canyon in the east of the city, where do you try your luck!"
Hearing the ghost market, Hou Jiuming's eyes lit up, "Sure enough, you've come to the right place." He immediately thanked him, "Thank you, old man, for telling me, if you get what you want, you won't forget today's guidance." ”
"Childe is polite, just a word, it's just that where the fish and dragons are mixed, it's not a good place, you need to be careful." The old man waved his hand and reminded him absently.
"In any case, thank you, old man, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to find a place without your inform......"
Maybe it's because there is no one, and the old man also has time to chat with Hou Jiuming.
After some politeness, he asked Convenience curiously, what was the reason why Hou Jiuming had to look for these medicinal materials.
Hou Jiuming changed his pulse and told a lie, saying that he was suffering from a strange illness and had to meet a master to prescribe such a prescription.
As an old Chinese medicine doctor, the other party was naturally curious about what the strange disease was, and immediately took his pulse.
As a result, after a while, his brows furrowed together, and his mouth kept muttering, "Strange, strange, how can there be such a strange pulse?" ”
stayed in the Rejuvenation Hall for an hour, scratching the old man's head with sorrow, and seeing that he had stripped off two or three of his beards, Hou Jiuming hurriedly offered to say goodbye, for fear that if he continued to stay, the old man's beard would be pulled out.
After leaving the Rejuvenation Hall, Hou Jiuming went to several places to verify the matter of the ghost market.
In the end, it was concluded that the old man did not lie to him, and what he said was true.
Ten miles outside the East City Gate, there is a remote canyon, in which lights often flicker in the middle of the night.
"There are five days left until the beginning of the month, and I hope it doesn't disappoint me."
…………
Five days have passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Hou Jiuming dared to leave Aoba City before the city gate was closed.
When he arrived outside the city, he found a remote place, changed into a black robe, put on a robe, completely enveloped himself in it, and went to the canyon land that the old man of the Rejuvenation Hall said.
At his speed, the distance of ten miles was in the blink of an eye.
But when I arrived, I found that there was no one inside.
"The market is open, it seems to be early." He didn't expect that those people were so punctual, and they didn't advance at all.
In desperation, I can only find a place to recuperate.
Time passes bit by bit.
When the time came, the otherwise quiet outside the canyon came alive.
Lanterns are lit up and they approach the canyon from far and near.
The weather doesn't seem to be very good tonight, there are no off-color high beams, and the whole sky is dull, resulting in lower visibility.
Standing on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon and looking out, you can see lonely lanterns fluttering.
To be honest, if someone who doesn't know sees it, I'm afraid it will definitely be half scared to death.
This ghost market seems to have no administrators, anyone can enter and leave, and at the same time, there is no prohibition of fighting inside.
Before entering it, the sound of fighting sounded in the dark night.
Hou Jiuming, who stayed on the cliff of the canyon, didn't care about this, and when he saw someone coming, he floated directly down from the canyon.
When his feet hit the ground, he looked at the entrance and said, "It's finally begun." After speaking, he looked around, trying to find a place to set up a stall, the situation was unknown, so naturally he had to find out first.
The two ends of the canyon here are transparent, and you can enter and exit at will.
As you can see from the traces on the ground, the ghost market is the entire canyon.
Its length is about a kilometer, the widest part is more than 50 meters, and the narrowest place is only one or two meters.
The reason why the entire canyon is a ghost market is because Hou Jiuming found that there were traces of human activity everywhere in this canyon.
And the location where Hou Jiuming chose to set up his stall is the widest place in the canyon.
This is the largest space, and when the ghost market opens, I'm afraid there will be the largest number of people.
If you want to know the situation, this is the best place.
Of course, he won't choose the best place, the ghost market has been open for so long, there must be a fixed location in it, and those best locations are probably already being fought for.
If he occupies it, although he is not afraid, he will inevitably get into trouble.
So, in the corner, I made it.
A black cloth was laid on the floor, and something was casually taken out of the storage bag.
Although they are casual things, each one of them is not an ordinary item in the mortal world.
For example, the core of the purple jade fruit, the Wuling Pill developed by himself during the Qi refining period, and a few ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum from the previous year.
For Hou Jiuming, these things belong to garbage.
But for ordinary people, each one is a treasure.
As soon as he set up his stall, footsteps sounded at the entrance.
"Papa~Papa~"
After a while, a black-robed man carrying a lantern came here, and when he saw Hou Jiuming, he was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that someone would come earlier than him.
"This friend, come so early?" As he spoke, the man in black made a round and chose a corner to settle in.
