Chapter 114: Dafeng Fengyunzhi! Donglin Ghost City!
Killing all these robbers easily was just a small episode for Su Changkong, and along the way, there were also robbers who saw him alone and moved their minds, but the result was that they all lost their lives.
Su Changkong received more than 3,000 taels of silver tickets from a group of robbers, of which eighty percent came from Zhang Xingyun, who was the leader.
Although for Su Changkong, a few thousand taels of silver is not worth his emotional fluctuations, but there is always a gain, and it is better than nothing.
"Huh? This is? ”
Not only that, Su Changkong also had an unexpected gain on Zhang Xingyun.
Zhang Xingyun was carrying a token on his body.
"Half and fifteen months, Donglin Mountain."
This token is engraved with a black pattern, and there is a line of small characters on it, which looks like it has no head or tail.
"Donglin Mountain...... It seems to be around Otoyosu Castle? Half of the month...... Could it be a ghost market? ”
Su Changkong took out a map and looked at it carefully, his heart moved, and he thought of this.
Su Changkong has been to the ghost market more than once, and there are ghost markets in almost every region, and the time marked on the fifteenth day of the month and a half on this token is the same as the time when the ghost market opened, and Donglin Mountain is located in the barren land around Dafengzhou City.
As soon as the two were connected, Su Changkong understood that there was a ghost market in Donglin Mountain, and this token was mostly a token to enter it.
This robber leader Zhang Xingyun makes a living by looting, and some stolen goods will be sold in the ghost market, so it is normal to know the location of the ghost market!
"Put it away, maybe use it."
Without much hesitation, Su Changkong put the token into the package.
After doing all this, ignoring the corpses on the ground, he got up and continued on his way, in this day and age, it is normal for a few people to die, these robbers expose their corpses to the wilderness, and it is estimated that they will soon be eaten by wild beasts, or until they rot!
A few days later, the dusty Su Changkong finally arrived outside the east gate of Dafengzhou City.
"It's finally here!"
From afar, seeing the majestic city wall in the distance, he couldn't help but sigh.
It took more than ten days, Su Changkong arrived in Dafengzhou City from Molin Mansion City, and it was normal for ordinary people or caravans to spend three or four months!
Su Changkong saw that there were black-armored soldiers guarding the east city gate, pedestrians coming and going, caravans, dart teams, monks, and Taoist priests, and there were not a few warriors wearing weapons on their waists.
Dafengzhou is too prosperous, many businessmen, and even warriors, come to Dafengzhou City thousands of miles away, some want to make a fortune, some for fame and fortune, and some for apprenticeship.
Su Changkong is not conspicuous in such a group of people.
Su Changkong, who was carrying his bags, entered the city smoothly, and the streets of Dafengzhou City were full of pedestrians and carriages, even if it was dusk, it was still very lively.
The streets are wide enough to accommodate nearly ten horses running side by side!
"Find a place to live first, and then learn about the news related to Dafengzhou City."
Su Changkong walked around for a while, and then decided to find a place to live.
Su Changkong came to Dafengzhou City, the main purpose was of course to better practice!
Staying in an inn in Dafengzhou City, Su Changkong said to a junior at the inn: "I came to this Dafengzhou City for the first time, I am not familiar with the place, and I have no clue if I want to find some work, I don't know where to learn about the relevant news?" ”
When Xiao Er heard this, he quickly smiled and said: "Guest officer, I suggest you go to Haijiao Tower to have a look, there are a large number of books in Haijiao Tower, including an introduction to Dafengzhou City, and an introduction to various people or things. ”
"I see, thank you." Su Changkong thanked him.
After staying in the inn for a night, early the next morning, Su Changkong set off for this Haijiao Tower.
Haijiao Tower, which is a place similar to a 'library'.
It has a large collection of books, poetry and songs, biographies, everything you need.
"Guest, please keep quiet when you enter the Cape Tower, and please don't damage the books in it, if there are any books that need to be found, you can also ask me."
After paying 30 copper plates, Su Changkong got a ticket to enter the Cape Tower, and the steward at the door also told Su Changkong two sentences.
Su Changkong nodded and stepped into the Cape Tower.
Inside the Cape Tower, it is quite quiet and elegant, with some decorative potted plants, as well as tables, chairs and benches, etc., and rows of bookshelves are full of books, similar to a 'library'.
There are also other guests in the building, all quietly drinking tea and reading books, which is very quiet.
Su Changkong also walked in front of the bookshelf for a while, and Su Changkong found that there were indeed a lot of books in this Haijiao Tower, including poems and songs, wild history biographies, and even some fragrant pictures of the exquisite Spring Palace.
"Dafeng Fengyunzhi?"
Soon, Su Changkong saw that there was the same book on a shelf, called "Dafeng Fengyunzhi", which was placed in an extremely conspicuous position.
Su Changkong then took out one of them, sat down on a recliner in the corner, and quietly flipped through it.
"Dafeng Fengyunzhi, a book compiled for Haijiao Tower, records some famous sects, forces, and wealthy families in Dafeng Prefecture, including some heroes, strong men, and some major events in modern times......"
After looking at the introduction, Su Changkong's eyes lit up, this "Dafeng Fengyun Zhi" is a book that is very suitable for him to understand the basic information of Dafeng Zhou City!
Su Changkong flipped through it, there were characters in "Dafeng Fengyunzhi", there were major events, and there were also chapters of major sects and families, so Su Changkong looked at it from the beginning and was a little fascinated.
"In the year 1138 of the Great Yan Calendar, in order to resist the fierce wolf barbarians in the northern steppe, His Majesty the Emperor Yan personally supervised the formation, and it took 20 years to build a fortress and a million soldiers, which was the predecessor of Dafengzhou City......"
This records the origin of Otoyosu Castle and some far-reaching events during the birth of Otoyosu Castle.
"In 2913 of the Great Yan Calendar, the fierce wolf barbarian Wang Court general Chi Hatu led 300,000 barbarian strong soldiers to attack, the new state lord Pei Yang led the Dafeng Iron Cavalry to meet the Sunset Grassland Fortress, after a fierce battle in March, the fierce wolf barbarians withdrew, more than 100,000 people were killed on both sides, and the blood flowed into a river, which is known as the Sunset Bloody Battle in history."
And it also records that the biggest battle in Dafeng Prefecture recently was a battle with foreign tribes not long ago, with more than 100,000 casualties!
"The Fierce Wolf Barbarians, this is a powerful group of warlike people who live on the prairie north of the Great Yan Dynasty, did they attack Dafeng Prefecture ten years ago?"
Su Changkong has indeed gained a lot of knowledge.
In addition to these things, Su Changkong also saw some familiar characters.
"Hong Zhenxiang, four years old martial arts, five years old strength to carry the tripod, in the sunset bloody battle killed more than 3,000 fierce wolf barbarians, including a fierce wolf court canonized warriors, a battle to become famous, is now one of the four major commanders of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry."
Su Changkong saw that there was a Hong Zhenxiang in the character chapter about the Hong Zhenxiang he had seen a few months ago, and he occupied a lot of space in the character chapter, recording some of his deeds.
Not only that, Su Changkong also saw another person in the character chapter!
"Mu Jin, a rising star in Dafeng Zhou City, killed the rebel thief Ning Guang at the age of eighteen, was born in the Mu family, a thousand-year-old family, and is currently the captain of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry Wooden Banner Battalion."
Su Changkong also saw the aggressive Mu Jin that day, which was also located on the characters of "Dafeng Fengyunzhi", and this Mu Jin's resume is still quite brilliant and dazzling, and now he is also in a high position in Dafengzhou City.
However, Su Changkong looked up the introduction of the Mu family, but it was very rare, almost a brushstroke.
Not only the Mu family, but also some other thousand-year-old families, the news and intelligence are almost nothing, very mysterious!
"Dafengzhou City is not peaceful!"
Su Changkong said secretly, after reading this "Dafeng Fengyun Zhi", Su Changkong also has some understanding of the situation in Dafeng City.
There are 400,000 Dafeng iron horsemen in Dafengzhou City, but they are not raised to eat dry food, but to deal with the invasion of foreign tribes, as well as some local rebels and thieves.
"There's almost no information about demons!"
What made Su Changkong frown even more was that Su Changkong searched for it, he wanted to know about the demons, but there was not a single book related to it in this Haijiao Tower!
Su Changkong's purpose in coming here was also to find out what the demon crystal nucleus he obtained was for, judging from Mu Jin's desperate attitude at that time to get it, this demon crystal nucleus was definitely a very valuable treasure.
So Su Changkong found the steward of the Cape Tower, and said to the steward with a curious face: "There are a large number of monsters in this Cape Tower, but why is there not a book about demons?" ”
Hearing this, the steward's face changed, and he glanced left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and said, "This guest, demon...... What can ordinary people know? Not to mention Haijiao Tower, even the entire Dafengzhou City, I can't find a book that records the information of demons, so don't ask too much, don't ask for trouble. ”
Faced with this slightly warning words in charge, Su Changkong also secretly doubted in his heart.
Regarding the information about the demons, ordinary people can only learn about some rumors that do not know whether they are true or false, where the demons come from, what are the characteristics, these seem to be secrets, and the Great Yan Dynasty is deliberately hiding the relevant news.
There is no record of demons in the circulating books, and even before there were demons raging in the city of Merlin Mansion, the government chose to block the news, only claiming that there were murderous demons raging to the outside world, and did not explicitly say that it was a demon making trouble, as if there were any scruples.
Su Changkong saw the vigilant appearance of this steward, and he also knew that it was useless to ask him, so he changed his words and said: "I am very interested in the Dafeng Fengyun Zhi, I want to take it home and study it carefully, can I buy a copy and take it away?" ”
The steward nodded happily this time: "Yes, two taels of silver a piece." ”
Two taels of silver for a book, a little expensive, but Su Changkong didn't bargain, he directly paid two taels of silver, bought a copy of "Dafeng Fengyunzhi", and looked back carefully.
"There are no books on demons on the market...... Not necessarily in ghost markets. ”
Su Changkong thought in his heart that the main reason why he was interested in demons was, of course, to figure out the specific role of his demon crystal nucleus.
And Su Changkong quickly thought of where to get information about demons, naturally it was a ghost city!
The token obtained from the bandit leader records the location of the ghost market in the territory of Otoyosu Castle.
There are many fish and dragons in the ghost market, and there are some goods that cannot be purchased by the outside world, and it is not necessary to be able to buy demon-related information from them.
On the day of the opening of the ghost market this month, there are still three days left, and Su Changkong is not in a hurry, resting quietly and reading books in the inn in Dafengzhou City.
Three days later, Su Changkong went all the way to Donglin Mountain, the location marked on the token.
Donglin Mountain is located in the middle of nowhere, three or four hundred miles away from Dafengzhou City, Su Changkong was not in a hurry, when he arrived at Donglin Mountain, it was already night.
The moon and stars in the sky are scarce, and the entire Donglin Mountain is dead silent, Su Changkong is not the first time to understand the ghost market, knowing that the location of the ghost market is very desolate and hidden, he glanced at the sky, did not hesitate, and stepped into the Donglin Mountain.
At this moment, Su Changkong dressed up, wearing an ape mask, wearing a black robe, and also changed his body shape with turtle breath gong to hide his identity.
In Donglin Mountain, the grass was luxuriant, Su Changkong wandered around for a while, and he felt a line of sight watching him and observing him.
Su Changkong didn't hesitate, he lowered his voice and took out the token: "I'm here to participate in the ghost market transaction." ”
"This way."
Soon after, an equally hoarse voice sounded in the woods, accompanied by a burst of distant footsteps, and Su Changkong did not hesitate and followed.
Following the guide in the darkness in the distance, Su Changkong quickly came to the depths of Donglin Mountain, and saw lights shining in the distance, and a small village and town hidden in the deep mountains appeared in his eyes.
At the entrance of the town, there was also a masked man wearing a ghost face and a blade around his waist, and after showing the token, Su Changkong smoothly entered the ghost market.
"I really miss ......"
Looking at the masked pedestrians coming and going on the street, as well as the stalls randomly placed on the roadside, the particularly eerie and silent atmosphere, Su Changkong couldn't help but sigh a little, remembering the scene when he first came to the ghost market when he was in Qingshui City, and now he is already experienced.
Su Changkong wandered around the ghost market and saw that there were many things in this ghost market that were difficult to buy from the outside world, such as poison, medicine, weapons, armor, and some martial arts cheats.
However, for Su Changkong now, it is difficult to have something that can arouse his interest.
"What do you need, guest? I'm the steward of this ghost city, and I can help you find what you need. ”
Su Changkong walked around for a while, and then a hoarse voice sounded under the eaves of the corner of the street.
Su Changkong looked at it, it was a man in white wearing a red grimace mask, standing in the shadows very infiltrating.
And the reason why this red-faced masked man took the initiative to talk to Su Changkong was very simple.
"This ape-faced masked man is so unusual...... There is no leakage of breath from his body, and the blood flow rate and the intensity of his heart beating are no different from ordinary people, and he is definitely not an ordinary character! ”
The red-faced masked man said secretly in his heart.
The strength of a warrior can be judged through keen observation.
For example, a martial artist who has forged a great body must have strong muscles and bones, and his temperament is different from that of ordinary people, while a martial artist who has reached the realm of qi and blood has a different flow rate of qi and blood, the intensity of heart beating, and even body temperature than ordinary martial artists.
And Su Changkong's cultivation of the Turtle Breath Gong is best at hiding his breath, under the observation of others, Su Changkong is inconspicuous, like an ordinary person.
But the people who can come to this ghost city will definitely not be ordinary people, so the red-faced masked man who can't see through Su Changkong's depth took the initiative to talk to him and ask him what he needs.
Su Changkong's heart also moved slightly, he bought information about demons with great fanfare, which was too attention-grabbing, and asked this red-faced masked man who claimed to be the manager of the ghost city, it would be less troublesome, he was the manager of the ghost city, and he must know a lot of information.
Thinking of this, Su Changkong lowered his voice and said hoarsely: "I want to buy information about demons." ”
As soon as these words came out, the red-faced masked man was obviously slightly stunned, as if he was thinking about something.
"Come with me."
The red-faced masked man finally spoke slowly, heading towards a small courtyard in the ghost market.
"Check it out." Seeing this, Su Changkong understood that there was a play, and this red-faced masked man might really have information about demons, so he didn't hesitate and followed.
In a lantern-lit mansion in a ghost town, in a dusty guest room, the red-faced masked man wiped the dust from a chair and said to Su Changkong, "You sit first." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Su Changkong to respond, he turned around and left the room.
Su Changkong was not in a hurry, he sat on the chair and waited quietly.
It wasn't long before a man entered the room, not the red-faced masked man from before, but a burly man with a bull's head mask.
"I heard you want to buy information about demons?"
The bull-headed masked man sat down in the seat opposite Su Changkong, he looked Su Changkong up and down carefully, and made a deep voice, listening to the voice, he should be around thirty or forty years old.
"Yes, do you have one?"
Su Changkong nodded slightly, there are many fish and dragons in this ghost market, and there are things and news that cannot be bought on the market, and there is a possibility of buying them in the ghost market!
Of course, as for whether the information he bought was true or false, Su Changkong could only distinguish it by himself.
The man in the bull-headed mask said, "The price ...... It's not cheap, and I don't accept a counter-offer, otherwise I'll give it up! ”
This bull-headed mask man has a lot of tone, and bluntly said that as long as Su Changkong makes a counteroffer, then the transaction will be stopped.
"Offer." Su Changkong just said.
"Thirty thousand taels of silver." The bull-headed masked man opened his mouth and offered a price.
"Thirty thousand taels?"
Su Changkong frowned secretly, this price is indeed too expensive!
When Su Changkong bought the alchemy book "Bao Danlu", the alchemist's grandson Sun Yun only offered 10,000 taels, and Su Changkong gave a bargain of 2,000 taels.
And as soon as the bull-headed masked man opened his mouth, it was 30,000 taels of silver, and he didn't accept the counteroffer, otherwise the transaction would be abandoned!
Su Changkong was thinking, and the bull-headed masked man continued: "The information about demons I sell is absolutely detailed, and the information about demons in the outside world is blocked, and it is difficult for you to buy it no matter how much money you spend." ”
30,000 taels, this is indeed a sky-high price for ordinary people, but for Su Changkong today, 30,000 taels is also a burden, if you pay 30,000 taels of silver, you can buy information about demons, about the role of the demon crystal nucleus, it is completely acceptable!
Thinking of this, Su Changkong didn't make a counteroffer, and nodded slowly: "Okay, then 30,000 taels." ”
Of course, Su Changkong is not a fool, if this bull-headed masked man just wants to cheat him out of money, then Su Changkong will make him pay a heavy price!
But seeing that Su Changkong agreed to spend 30,000 taels of silver to buy the information of the demons, the bull-headed masked man changed his words and said: "Thirty thousand taels is indeed a bit expensive, if you are willing to do me a favor, I will give you the information about the demons for free." ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Changkong's face under the mask sank, the purpose of this bull-headed masked man was not to take out the demon's information and sell it for money, but to test him!
If Su Changkong hesitates too much, or refuses, this shows that 30,000 taels of silver is a great burden on him, and his ability is only average.
But Su Changkong didn't hesitate too much, and agreed to buy the information of the demon for 30,000 taels of silver, which shows that Su Changkong is not an ordinary character.
It is impossible for ordinary people to spend 30,000 taels of silver to buy information about demons, after all, just to satisfy their curiosity, they have to spend a huge amount of money of 30,000 taels of silver, even if they are children of rich families!
Su Changkong was able to take out 30,000 taels of silver to buy information, and he promised it so happily, which shows that the information of the demon is very important to him, and he is not an ordinary character!
So the bull-headed masked man changed his mind and proposed to ask Su Changkong to do him a favor, and the reward was the information of the demon!
Don't think about it, it's going to be a hassle for the Bull Head Masked Man to want him to help.
But Su Changkong still said: "What's the hurry? Let's talk about it first. ”
The bull-headed masked man said, "Help me kill two people." ”
"I'm sorry, but please be smart." Hearing this, Su Changkong stood up and had no intention of continuing the transaction with the bull-headed mask man.
The bull-headed masked man wanted him to kill two people, but he didn't need 30,000 taels of silver for this, which showed that the difficulty of the two people he wanted to kill was not small, at least the value was far more than 30,000 taels of silver.
Su Changkong didn't want to be used as a knife inexplicably, and he didn't know the identities of the two people he was going to kill, Su Changkong didn't know them, he had no grudges, and he was not interested in killing people because of a little intelligence.
Of course, the most important thing is that Su Changkong doesn't believe that there is only one bull-headed masked man in this ghost market who knows the information about demons, so it's a big deal that he goes directly to set up a stall outside and buys relevant information at a high price, it's a big deal to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver, but the energy he spends will cause less trouble than agreeing to the bull-headed masked man's request.
"Wait a minute!"
When the bull-headed masked man saw that Su Changkong was leaving, he was a little anxious.
"I guess what you want to know is not the information of the demon, but the function of the demon crystal nucleus, right?"
In a hurry, the man in the bull head mask blurted out.
