Chapter 40: Midnight Ghost City!

"The ghost market is open on the 15th of every month? There are two days left on the 15th of this month, so I'll wait. ”

Leaving Caishen Town, Su Changkong secretly thought in his heart, he was going to go to this ghost market to see if he could sell the crossbow he made.

Two days passed in a flash, Su Changkong asked for leave in advance at Director Liu's office, and early the next morning, Su Changkong went to Yan Song to tell him where the ghost market was.

Su Changkong was not in a hurry, and when he arrived at the barren mountain where the ghost market was located, it was already night.

At this moment, Su Changkong dressed up, he was dressed in black, covered with a black scarf, and his whole body was tightly wrapped, not only that, but he was also wearing a red grimace mask bought from a stall on his face.

Don't blame Su Changkong for being cautious, this ghost market is mixed, and the people who can know where the ghost market is located are not simple characters, in case it will be troublesome if they are targeted by someone with a heart, so they naturally have to be prepared!

The full moon hangs high, and under the moonlight, the barren mountains in front of them are even more silent and desolate.

Su Changkong took a deep breath and stepped into the barren mountain.

"Someone."

Before he walked out of a distance of more than 100 meters, Su Changkong noticed that there were people in front of him, in the barren forest, there were rickshaw-pulled carts parked, and the coachmen next to the carts were all wearing masks, including pig's head masks and baby face masks, which looked very weird.

"Is there an invitation?"

Someone also noticed Su Changkong's approach, and a coachman looked at Su Changkong and said in a hoarse voice.

Su Changkong didn't reply, just took out the token that Yan Song gave him and showed it.

"Get in the car." The coachman took a look at it and asked Su Changkong to get into the car.

Su Changkong did not hesitate and sat on the wooden cart, and the coachman then pulled the wooden cart and took Su Changkong towards the depths of the barren forest.

Along the way, Su Changkong also saw other guests riding in the cart, and it was obvious that these people, like him, were all guests who came to the ghost market, and almost all of them hid their identities and appearances.

"Here we are."

The coachman's voice sounded in Su Changkong's ears, Su Changkong raised his eyes and saw a village with lights shining in front of him, which was where the ghost market in the Qingshui City area was located.

It is said to be a ghost city, but from the outside, it is just a long-abandoned mountain village, very dilapidated, and there is really a sense of lifelessness.

Su Changkong got out of the car and walked towards the entrance of the ghost market.

In the ghost market, Su Changkong saw sparse pedestrians wandering the streets, most of them covered with black gauze, or wearing masks, in front of many small stalls, pedestrians and stall owners communicated, all lowered their voices, and paid vigilant attention to the surrounding situation from time to time, looking sneaky.

Su Changkong walked around the streets, and he saw that many people were selling things that were difficult to buy in the outside world.

"The toxin extracted from the red blood frog poison sac is quenched on the weapon, and the wound of the cut person will be difficult to heal and bleed to death, and the price is 100 taels of silver a jar."

Su Changkong saw that on a small stall, small jars were placed, and there were signs erected next to them, introducing the characteristics and prices of the goods sold, and a man in black sat quietly behind the stall without saying a word.

"Burst tire strengthening pills, after taking them, you can forcibly make the martial artists at the peak of the inner strength enter the realm of divine power, but there are certain side effects, and the price is 300 taels of silver."

Su Changkong also saw a thin man in black selling pills, the effect of this pill is quite exaggerated, taking this pill to strengthen the body, there is hope that the inner strong martial artist will forcibly enter the realm of divine power, but the so-called side effects have certain side effects, most of them are fake, maybe taking this pill will kill you on the spot!

Otherwise, the elixir that could create a Divine Power Realm martial artist would never be able to sell for only a few hundred taels of silver.

In this ghost market, there is no quality guarantee for the things sold, and if you are deceived, you can only blame yourself for your poor vision!

Su Changkong, who had walked around, did find a lot of good things that were rare to see in the outside world, but the price was high, and the quality was not guaranteed, so Su Changkong had no money to buy them.

Then Su Changkong followed the example of other stall owners, set up a stall on the side of the street, put the three crossbows on his back and put them in the back basket on the ground, sat on the ground, and waited for the guests to come to the door.

"It's ...... Crossbow? How much does a handful cost? ”

Soon, a guest wearing a rhinoceros mask stopped in front of Su Changkong's stall, and he looked at it carefully before he asked in a hoarse voice.

"80 taels."

Su Changkong lowered his voice and quoted the price of the crossbow.

80 taels of crossbows, the price is undoubtedly extremely high, dozens of times more expensive than ordinary swords, and the cost of building a crossbow is actually only one or two taels of silver.

The rhinoceros mask man shook his head, didn't say much, turned around and left, he was just asking, if the price was very, very cheap, he would be tempted, and the price quoted by Su Changkong far exceeded his psychological expectations.

Su Changkong didn't care, the night was still very long, be patient, and sooner or later he would be able to sell it.

Time passed minute by minute, during which four or five guests all asked Su Changkong's price, but when they heard Su Changkong's offer, they all left silently, and they didn't even bargain.

After all, the crossbow is a forbidden thing, and like armor, it can't be carried around like a sword in the outside world, and if you don't pay attention, you may have to catch fire!

"Someone's eyeing me......"

Su Changkong's face under the mask and black veil was expressionless, and he could feel that several lines of sight were paying attention to him from time to time, he should be being targeted.

Not only that, but other guests in the ghost market also found out about this, and some of the guests who wanted to come to inquire about the price of the crossbow dispelled this idea in order not to get into trouble.

Su Changkong remained silent, but his face under the mask sank, affecting his business?

Time passed, a few hours later, the moon disappeared, the time came to the early morning, the sky was gray and bright, the time for the opening of the ghost market was almost up, and some of the guests who came to the ghost market, some bought what they wanted, left satisfied, and some returned empty-handed.

Pedestrians are sparse on the streets of Ghost City.

"Let's go."

Those few vague sights did not disappear, Su Changkong's expression was calm, he stood up, put three crossbows into the back basket, and walked towards the outside of the ghost city with the back basket, Su Changkong is not a fledgling now, and he has long been mentally prepared for this situation.

Outside the ghost market, in the barren mountains, under the cover of leaves, there are many shadows, and it is even more desolate and quiet.

Su Changkong stood there, waiting quietly, and it didn't take long for three masked men to walk out from behind the big tree, faintly forming a circle and surrounding Su Changkong.

In the middle is a man in black wearing a cow-faced mask, Su Changkong has an impression of him, and the person who asked about the price of the crossbow before was him.

"Three, do you have any advice?"

Su Changkong swept around, a different color flashed under his eyes, and he lowered his voice, making his voice seem very low.

The cow-faced masked man smiled: "We are very interested in the crossbow you sell, but the price is a little too expensive." ”

Crossbow, this thing is lethal, easy to use, filled with arrows in advance, several people hold crossbows, even if they are ordinary people who don't know martial arts, a round of salvo, there is a chance to shoot a martial arts master!

Even if it is a martial artist who has reached the Forging Body and the Divine Courage Realm, it is also the category of flesh and blood.

And this bull-faced masked man and the others were obviously interested in the crossbow sold by Su Changkong.

Su Changkong said: "It's too expensive, I can give you a discount." ”

"Doesn't it cost money to get a discount? We prefer free stuff! On the left side of Su Changkong, a man with a horse-faced mask said lightly.

"Yes, yes, yes! Who doesn't love free stuff? A person on the right, his left hand rubbing the blade of a short knife held in his right hand, he echoed again and again, the short knife in his hand shining with a faint cold light!
