Volume 1 Creation Season: Survival Quest Chapter 8 Longshan Ghost Market
At this moment, Lin Sumo, who was wandering around Longshan Town, didn't know that trouble was about to be riddled up, and he was in a good mood, especially with ten thousand gold, he was full of confidence, Lin Sumo spent an afternoon visiting the largest shops in Longshan Town.
I didn't buy much things, but it opened a lot of eyes, the weapons of the Heavenly Soldier Building, the elixir of the Divine Pill Pavilion, the exercises of the Tibetan Scripture Tower, the peerless Yanji of the Second Pavilion of the Worm, etc., all made Lin Sumo stop and linger, and after witnessing all this, he knew that in front of these big forces, even if he paid all the belongings of the Twelfth Floor, he was still a poor man.
When it was dark, Lin Sumo found an inn to live in, although he had collected all the medicinal materials during the day, there was still a key artifact that had not been obtained, although the whereabouts of this thing were clear, but it had to wait until after dark, when the ghost market in Longshan Town opened.
Longshan Deserted Town is located in the plain under Dalong Mountain, but with the development and expansion of a hundred years, there is no space in the plain under the mountain, so it gradually develops into Dalong Mountain.
The ghost market in Longshan Town is in this big dragon mountain, and the market is open once every ten days, and today is exactly the tenth day of the first month, the day when the ghost market of Longshan is opened.
The location of the ghost market is not fixed, the organizer of the ghost market will send a ghost sticker to the person who holds the ghost market token the day before the ghost market opens, which records the time and place of the ghost market opening, Lin Sumo has not been idle for an afternoon, and used the ghost market token given to him by Wu Ming to get the ghost sticker.
At three o'clock, Lin Sumo followed the location of the ghost sticker to a courtyard built by the mountain, knocked on the door, the sound was three long and two short, and after three times, the door creaked and cracked.
Lin Sumo handed over the ghost city token, and the man took it and inspected it for a while, turned sideways, and invited Lin Sumo in.
Inside the door is a courtyard with three entrances and backs, under the guidance of the man, Lin Sumo passed through the door, and walked along the winding corridor to the end, but it was a thick brick wall, but I saw that the guide pressed on one of the bricks on the brick wall, and the whole wall suddenly collapsed inward, and then a passage to the ground was revealed under the wall.
"Your Excellency will go down on your own, and you will reach the market!"
The guide said, bowing and retreating.
Lin Sumo bowed slightly, walked down the stone steps, and when he reached the bottom, a dull rumbling sound suddenly came from the top of his head, and the hole on it was slowly closing, and at the same moment, on the stone walls on both sides of the passage in front of Lin Sumo's eyes, oil lamps lit up one after another.
At the end of the passage is a secret door, the token in Lin Sumo's hand is the key to open the secret door, after the secret door is opened, there is a small compartment inside, and a black cloak is hung on the wall.
Lin Sumo put on his cloak and pushed open the other door of the compartment, but he was slightly stunned, only to see that outside this door was another courtyard, the courtyard was wide, and there were people wearing black cloaks coming and going, these people turned a blind eye to Lin Sumo's appearance, and they were obviously used to it.
The ghost market is placed in this courtyard, and this place in front of you is just one of the corners, and most of the things sold are ordinary things, and the reason why they are sold in the ghost market is that they are mostly things that have no bright background.
Lin Sumo looked at the whole way, and finally stopped at a stall selling ancient books, rummaging through a pile of martial arts cheats thrown on the ground at random, Lin Sumo finally locked an ancient book called "Huang Ting asked the Tao Sutra".
"How much does this book cost?" Lin Sumo asked in a deep voice.
"Silver, five thousand taels!" The stall owner, who sat in the shadows, replied in a hoarse voice.
Lin Sumo shook his head and said, "One thousand taels!" ”
The stall owner said, "No counteroffer!" ”
Lin Sumo said: "Half a year ago, Que Changqing, the son of the gate valve of the Que clan of the Great Liang Kingdom, was intercepted and killed in the Endless Mountain, although he barely saved his life, but his kung fu was abolished, and the treasure of the Que clan "Huang Ting Dao Sutra" was robbed, "Huang Ting Dao Sutra" was originally the ancestral mastery of the Que family, there is no semicolon, if this book in my hand is not a fake, then it should be the one snatched from Que Changqing's hands, buying this "Huang Ting Dao Sutra" is equivalent to taking over the trouble of the Que family, a thousand taels, I am too expensive! ”
The stall owner pondered for a long time when he heard this, and said, "Okay, deal!" ”
Lin Sumo happily paid the silver ticket, but when he left, he pulled out the two pages of waste paper pressed at the bottom, raised his hand, and said, "This is an addition!" As he spoke, he took it into his arms.
"Wait!"
At this moment, the stall owner stopped him and said, "Your Excellency, don't you want to fool you?" Your real purpose is these two pages of waste paper, right? ”
Lin Sumo was stunned when he heard this, and said with a sneer: "Your Excellency is really shrewd!" ”
The stall owner sneered and said, "What kind of person hasn't seen it in this ghost market all year round?" Your Excellency's trick of attacking the west has long been rotten on the street! ”
Lin Sumo secretly said that it was really not easy to be fooled to be able to gain a foothold in the ghost market, so he said: "Your Excellency will make a price!" ”
The stall owner sneered: "Jin, ten thousand taels!" ”
Lin Su Mo Senran sneered: "Your Excellency wants to be a fat sheep in the next place?" ”
The stall owner said: "It is up to Your Excellency to buy or not, and there will be no counteroffer!" ”
Lin Sumo casually threw the two pages of waste paper back and said, "Then you can keep it to wipe your ass!" With that, he left without looking back.
With the gold and silver on Lin Sumo's body, 10,000 taels of gold is not unaffordable, but what Lin Sumo cares about is not these two pages of waste paper, but the words recorded on these two pages of waste paper.
The text on these two pages adds up to no more than three hundred words, written in Qin seal, the content is upside down and confused, and it is obscure to read, making people think that it is a game of the ancients, but in the eyes of others, it is like a book from heaven, but after being deciphered in Lin Sumo's eyes, it is a practice of refining the body, and the key is a string of Arabic numerals written on one of the papers.
Shorthand and forgetfulness, Lin Sumo had already written down the contents of the paper when he was picking up ancient books before, but out of caution, Lin Sumo still decided to buy these two pages without a trace, never thinking that this stall owner was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he was deflated.
The "Huang Ting Dao Sutra" and the body refining exercises were just windfalls, and Lin Sumo's real goal was a tripod, a tripod that was world-famous hundreds of years ago.
Taixuan Danding, the treasure of the town of Taixuan Danmen, was cast by Taixuanzi, the founder of Taixuanmen, and was praised as the ancestor of Danding by the Dandao sect.
Taixuan Danmen is located in Taiyi Mountain, Dayong Kingdom, survived for more than 800 years, more than 100 years ago, Taixuan Danmen declined, the disciples of the sect were scattered, after the last head of Dan Xuanzi passed away, this Taixuan Danding was buried underground.
Twenty years ago, Dan Xuanzi's tomb was discovered, and then stolen, Taixuan Danding did not know what happened, and the news that Taixuan Danding appeared in the Longshan black market was provided by Wu Ming, as for the source of the news, Wu Ming was also silent.
After a few laps around the ghost market, he finally found the target in a dark corner, Lin Sumo sat down in front of the stall owner, looked at a few things on the stall casually, and said, "Looking for something below?" ”
The stall owner stared at Lin Sumo for a moment and asked, "What are you looking for?" ”
Lin Sumo said: "This thing can fly without wings, can do without feet, and can live without heart!" ”
When the stall owner heard this, he said, "This thing is here, but I wonder if your Excellency can afford it?" ”
Lin Sumo raised his right hand, his palm in his sleeve and stretched out to the stall owner, at the same moment, the stall owner also had a tacit understanding to reach in, and after a while, the stall owner took his hand back and said: "Deal, but the thing is not here, tomorrow will pick up the goods in the woods outside the north gate, and pay a deposit of 30% in advance!" ”
Lin Sumo bowed his head and said, "No problem, but the thing must be real!" ”
The stall owner smiled and said: "Since it was introduced by Wu Lao, even if you have a thousand guts, I won't dare to lie to you!" ”
After delivering the deposit, Lin Sumo didn't stay long, and soon left the ghost market, and the stall owner also looked left and right for a while, packed up his things and left quietly. However, after the two left, there were fewer people in the nearby stalls at the same time.
"Looks like someone has noticed that guy a while ago!"
In an uninhabited alley, Lin Sumo pinched the necks of the two tails and said, "I hope that guy is smarter, otherwise my deposit of three thousand taels will be wasted!" After that, he searched for a moment on these two corpses, and took out two black iron plates, one of which was carved with thundercloud patterns, and the other side was engraved with the word 'Beifu' in official script.
"Da Yongguo, Beifu Division?"
Lin Sumo frowned and said, the South and North Mansion Divisions of the Great Yongguo Kingdom are similar to Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the Southern Mansion Division is responsible for guarding, anti-intermediary and other affairs, while the Northern Mansion Division is external, responsible for espionage, infiltration, assassination, etc.
These two institutions, especially the Beifu Division, have developed rapidly in recent years, and their sphere of influence has spread to the Nine Kingdoms of Heaven and Land, and the borderlands of these four countries are the places where their secret agents frequently operate, even more unscrupulous than within the Nine Kingdoms.
"Why is the Beifu Division of the Great Yongguo interested in Taixuan Danding?"
Lin Sumo groaned for a while, and suddenly thought of the news about the Nine Kingdoms of Heaven and Land that he had bought in the Second Insect Pavilion before.
Li Cunxu, the emperor of the Great Yongguo, has reigned for more than 30 years, although he has not been able to expand his territory and establish immortality, he is also a king of success, but in recent years, this Li Cunxu has been obsessed with Dan Dao and tried in vain to refine the elixir of immortality.
Thinking of these news, Lin Sumo had already guessed the original reason, and then took off the black clothes on the black clothes of the Beifu Division spy on the ground who was similar to himself, and sneaked in the direction of the northern district of Longshan Town.
The northern area of Longshan Town is the territory of the Golden Wolf Military Mansion, at this moment, a man in gray is moving in the direction of the north city gate tower at great speed through the shadow of the corner, and near the city gate, the man in gray is lurking in the dark, cautiously looking in the direction of the city gate.
I saw that near the city gate, several armor soldiers of the Golden Wolf Army were hiding in shelter from the wind and leaning on the fire, and there were occasionally a few armor soldiers walking back and forth on the gatehouse, and the defense was lax, seeing this, the gray-clothed man was relieved, and was about to get up and sneak in the direction of the city gate, suddenly, a hand stretched out from the darkness behind him to cover the mouth and nose of the gray-clothed man, and dragged him into the alley behind him.
