Chapter 48: The Black Market Ahead
There were two men, both men.
The tall man carried a coffin as black as ink on his back, and the short, dwarf-like man carried a gong in his hand.
After entering the ruined temple, the two of them quietly looked at Chu Mo and the others, and after Shaoqing, the dwarf man opened his mouth to ask.
"You're black market guests?"
Hearing this, Chu Mo glanced at Yu Zixuan on the side, Yu Zixuan understood, and hurriedly took out a pitch-black wooden card from his arms, and just when he was about to throw it to the two of them, the dwarf man suddenly stretched out his right hand, and with a slight twitch of his palm, the wooden card in Yu Zixuan's hand flew out of his hand and fell into this person's hand.
For the dwarf man's hand, Chu Mo and the others were extremely calm, after all, they all knew that even an inconspicuous person in the black market could be a master.
"It's really Heimu Ling, but a few of them seem to be a little naΓ―ve, they should be entering the black market for the first time, right? I don't know where they came from? β
The dwarf man said lightly.
Chu Mo chuckled and said, "As far as I know, as a guide in the black market, it seems that you don't have the right to ask the identity of the guests. β
When the dwarf man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You know the rules of the black market quite well, since this is the case, I won't say much nonsense, and you should also know what to do next." β
"Of course!"
Chu Mo nodded, then removed a black cloth from his waist, completely covering his eyes, and the same was true for Yu Zixuan and the others.
And this is the first rule of the black market, anyone who enters the black market must be blindfolded, and no matter what you hear or feel on the way, you are not allowed to take off the blindfold without permission, otherwise there will be only one consequence, that is, death!
Seeing that Chu Mo and the others were so interested, the two guides didn't say anything, and the dwarf man nodded towards the tall and thin man, only to see the tall and thin man suddenly throw out the chains wrapped around his body.
Chu Mo also reached out with his palm at the same time, holding one end of the chain firmly in his hand.
"Keep up, there are a lot of authorities on the way to the black market, if something happens accidentally, it's none of our brothers' business."
Chu Mo smiled: "I'm tired of the two of you." β
The dwarf man nodded, and then slowly led Chu Mo and the others out of the ruined temple together, and finally slowly disappeared into the night.
I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly there were some noisy sounds in the originally silent night, and at this moment, the two people in charge of guiding the way slowly stopped.
"Ahead is the entrance to the black market, we brothers can only take you here, you go up to the entrance and there will be people from the black market to receive you."
Hearing the dwarf man's words, Chu Mo put down the chain in his hand, and then slowly took off the blindfold.
When Chu Mo wanted to ask the two brothers who led the way about something, Chu Mo found that the two brothers who led the way had already disappeared.
"This black market is really a place where masters gather."
Chu Mo couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Chu Mo ......"
Wen Qingyuan, who took off his blindfold, looked at the dark entrance in front of him, and felt a little worried in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Chu Mo's arm.
Chu Mo patted Wen Qingyuan's head, slowly turned his head to look at Yu Zixuan and the others, and said, "Let's go." β
After speaking, Chu Mo took Wen Qingyuan and strode towards the entrance.
Walking through a long, pitch-black passage, a bright light appeared at the end of the passage, as the pace of everyone accelerated, the bright light also got closer and closer, and when everyone walked out of the passage, a huge portal appeared in their sight.
A noisy sound also fell into the ears of Chu Mo and the others.
Chu Mo and the others did not stop and headed towards the portal. As soon as they arrived at the door, several people were stopped by the gatekeepers.
"Little doll, it's your first time on the black market, right?"
Looking at the old man in front of him with a white beard and a ragged shirt, Chu Mo nodded.
"It's no wonder, come, one by one."
The old man took off a few masks from the wall behind him and handed them to Chu Mo and the others, then grinned, revealing a few big yellow teeth, and motioned for them to put on the masks.
"This is the second rule of the black market, the black market is no better than other places, everyone who comes here, maybe there will be your enemies, wear masks, and ensure the safety of every guest."
When Chu Mo heard this, he was a little surprised by this rule, but since it was a rule, he naturally had to abide by it, and then immediately put on the mask handed by the old man.
After everyone put on their masks, the old man did not stop a few people, returned to his previous position, and lay down.
And when Chu Mo and the others had just walked a few steps, the old man's voice came again: "The black market has the rules of the black market, if you come here to inquire about the news, you must pay the corresponding reward." Also, the use of force is prohibited in the black market......"
Listening to the old man's advice, Chu Mo and the others also slowly entered the black market, and the moment the door opened, Chu Mo and the others finally saw the true face of this black market.
Perhaps because of the auction on the fourth day of April, today's black market is already overcrowded, and the streets that extend in all directions have long been blocked.
"The auction will start early tomorrow morning, and we'll find a place to stay in a while, you can feel free to enjoy the black market, but one thing, don't get into trouble here."
Chu Mo stared at a few people, especially Wen Zijin beside him. Wen Zijin, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, has his due pride, but the black market is a mixed place, Chu Mo is very afraid that Wen Zijin will not be able to control his temper, if something really happens here, he really has no way.
Subsequently, after a few people wandered around, they also found an inn with vacant rooms, and after a few people checked in, Chu Mo left with Wen Qingyuan, in the name of taking his wife to feel the different atmosphere of the black market from the outside world.
Yu Zixuan and Wushuang went to investigate things related to the roster, while Wen Zijin was left alone in the inn.
The streets that extend in all directions, the street vendors of all kinds, the pedestrians who come and go, and the bustle of the black market are no less prosperous than those of Kyoto.
Chu Mo took Wen Qingyuan to stand on a small bridge, looking at the prosperous scene in front of him, Chu Mo had a smile on his face, Wen Qingyuan also gradually became active from the previous nervousness, sometimes pulling Chu Mo to this side, sometimes going to that side, Wen Qingyuan at this moment is like a little girl who has discovered a new world, lively and cute......
