Chapter 239: Strange Ghost Market
Tonight is not destined to be an ordinary night, whether it is the streets and alleys of the capital are all lit up, the streets are constantly lit with fireworks and salutes, bursts of firecrackers to celebrate the birthday of the greatest person in the country, the streets of the capital are like daylight, and the New Year is no different!
At this time, a figure quietly walked out of an inconspicuous shop, Li Hanrui chased outside and stopped, turning his head to look at Liu Bo
"What does this shop do?" Liu Bo looked at it, and saw that the plaque on the door had three big characters written on it: [Forget the Dust Valley!]
Liu Bo knew it instantly
"Second son, this is the entrance to the ghost market in the capital!"
"Ghost market? Do ghost markets really exist? Li Hanrui asked with some disbelief, although he had always heard that there was a ghost market, but Li Hanrui had not really seen it!
"That's right, this is it!" Liu Bo said with certainty.
"Then let's go in and see what this ghost city is like?" Li Hanrui was about to go in after speaking, but was stopped by Liu Bo.
"Second son, we can't get in!"
"Why?"
"We don't have a token to enter the ghost market, and it's useless to go, the ghost market has its own rules, and we can't enter it at all!"
"Then I'll get in!" Liu Bo immediately shook his head
"I heard that there are many masters in the ghost market, and there are also river and ocean thieves and ocean thieves! I'm afraid that just us people can't do it at all, and if we do it, we will startle the snake! When Li Hanrui heard this, he was so anxious, he could find out something at a glance, and he was really unwilling to watch it leave!
Li Hanrui suddenly thought of someone
"Liu Bo, you lead people to guard the surroundings first, and I'll find someone!"
"Yes!" Li Hanrui hurriedly turned around and left, rode his horse, and ran straight to the west, and came to a mansion a quarter of an hour later, and looked up to see that there were four big lanterns connected to the door, and a plaque on the door read "Wangfu"!
Li Hanrui turned over and dismounted, and came to the door, there were two guards standing at the door, and they saw that Li Hanrui was coming, and they were all acquaintances
"Second General, you're here!" Li Hanrui nodded very politely
"Trouble, go, my brother called out and said I was in a hurry!"
"Yes! Wait! "The guards at the door flew in like they flew in to report the news! There was not much time, Wang Heming walked out of it and smiled when he saw Li Hanrui
"Second brother, why did you come to my house so late? What's the urgency? Li Hanrui looked around and pulled Wang Heming to a place where there was no one on the side
"I just tracked Cam and chased him to the Valley of Forgotten Worries, Liu Bo said that it was the entrance to the ghost market, so I wanted to ask, is there a way for you to get in?" As the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Wang Heming naturally has his own methods
"This exotic bastard has entered the ghost market?"
"Yes! Am I in a hurry? Who knows what this bastard is going to do? ”
"Second brother, don't worry, brother, I'll go back to those things, let's go!" Wang Heming also had a fiery temper, a red-faced man, when he heard that Li Hanrui needed help, he didn't say a word, and turned around and went back home.
When the two came to the outside of the Valley of Forgotten Worries again, they saw Liu Bo and a group of brothers hiding in the dark, and when they saw the two coming, Liu Bo hurriedly walked over
"Second son, Wang Shaoqing! You're coming! ”
"Is that guy out?" Li Hanrui hurriedly asked.
"Nope! There are a lot of people coming out, but there is no Cam, we have been guarding it! Liu Bo said.
"Cheng, you continue to guard, don't catch him when you see him come out, follow! He Ming and I went in and had a look! ”
"Yes!" Wang Heming took out two masks from his arms and gave one to Li Hanrui
"Bring it, there are rules for a place in one place!" Li Hanrui didn't speak, put on the mask, and then followed Wang Heming and the two directly to the main gate of the Valley of Forgotten Worries, and when they came to the gate of the Valley of Forgotten Worries, the door was open, and it looked like an ordinary restaurant inside, and the two of them walked inside!
Li Hanrui looked left and right, and saw that there was nothing very special in the Valley of Forgotten Worries, there were a few dim lights around, there were a total of six tables, two of which were sitting guests, but these people didn't feel like guests, they were all sturdy, their eyes were sharp, and they exuded murderous aura all over their bodies, no matter how they looked, they didn't look like ordinary people!
At this time, the shopkeeper came up to see that these two were wearing masks, showing a weird smile
"What are you two going to eat?" As soon as Li Hanrui heard it, he knew that this should be a code, so don't talk if you don't understand!
Wang Heming smiled and took out a token from his waist, only to see that the front of the token was a skeleton pattern, and the back was a blood-red ghost character
"We want to eat something underground!"
"Okay, please come here, please!" After speaking, the shopkeeper led the two of them through the lobby of the restaurant, walked directly into the back kitchen, and then walked out of the back door, through a small corridor, to a room that looked like a warehouse.
I saw that the man seemed to be stroking something on the east wall, found a brick, pressed it hard, and only listened to the [click......!
With a bang, the wall instantly cracked a gap in the door, and if you look closely, it is pitch black inside, and you can't see anything clearly!
"Two distinguished guests, please!" The shopkeeper made a gesture of please. Wang Heming took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it to the shopkeeper
"Good work!"
"Thank you, uncle!" The shopkeeper said happily. Li Hanrui followed Wang Heming in, and when he looked closely, it was a tunnel leading to the underground, which was not very big, and it was impossible for two people to walk side by side!
And there are some stones on the walls that glow faintly, and the road can't be seen clearly, but you can rely on these faint lights to see the direction of the road!
The two walked about three hundred steps, and suddenly there was a burst of light in front of them, and the two walked out quickly, and when Li Hanrui walked out of the tunnel, he was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him!
I saw that the lights were bright underground, and the people inside were boiling, and I looked carefully, and I couldn't tell the direction underground, but I could see that the street in front of me was dozens of zhang wide, and three carriages side by side would not knock it down, although there was no carriage in it!
There are all kinds of hawkers, all kinds of laughter, countless people coming and going, but everyone is wearing masks, they can't see their faces, look up, and see that it is indeed land, and the road in front of them doesn't know how long, Li Hanrui was a little frightened, such a big tunnel, this is not an ordinary project, how did they dig it?
"Brother, this is in the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, how did such a big hole be dug out? If this is a hidden ambush, isn't it? Li Hanrui didn't even dare to imagine it.
Wang Heming smiled and patted Li Hanrui's chest
"My eldest brother, can't you live if you don't care about the country for a day? This was originally a secret passage built by the previous dynasty, and it was not used in our dynasty later, and then I heard that it was used by a mysterious person, and then it was changed to a ghost market! ”
"And the ghost market has the rules of the ghost market, you don't have to worry about them rebelling or anything, they don't bother to care about those, they are all people who can't see the light here, as long as they can survive, they are already lucky!"
"Are you sure it's safe here?"
"The ghost market has been formed for decades, have you ever heard that there is a case in the capital that they did? And there are special management personnel here, if anyone wants to make trouble, they will be killed directly! The news can't get out! You can rest assured! Wang Heming said.
Li Hanrui was shocked, he didn't expect that there was such an underground city in the capital, although it was underground, but the breathing was very smooth, and there was no feeling of stuffiness, it was really strange, looking at the burning torches around him, he knew that the ventilation here was not bad!
Li Hanrui began to look carefully at the people inside, only to see that there were some people selling various items on both sides of the road, I didn't know if I didn't see it, I was startled when I saw it, and walked dozens of steps, and what I saw had shocked Li Hanrui, ginseng deer antler, Ganoderma lucidum snow lotus, some only legendary medicinal herbs are available here!
Western Eight Treasures, Turning Screws, you have heard of it here, you can also see it, such valuable things are all placed on the ground, just like selling scrap, very casual, and listen to the people here, as well as their clothes, not all of them are Central Plains people, but also foreigners, Tatars, Warats, Jurchens, island people, Goryeo, etc., here is like a miniature version of the world!
After looking around, he didn't see Cam's figure, so Wang Heming asked
"Second brother, there are a few thousand people here, it's not a way to find this, do you have any news, or do you know what he is doing here?" Li Hanrui thought about it carefully, and he didn't know what he would do?
"By the way, do you remember that at the banquet today, Xuanyi took out the Tianyi Bow, I think Geldai seems to like it very much, and is willing to exchange it for a thousand war horses, but it didn't work, can we start from here?"
"This one can be!"
"There are still weapons sellers here?" Li Hanrui asked in surprise. Wang Heming smiled
"If you don't like to hear it, as long as there are ones in this world, you can find them on the ninth floor here!"
"The Sky Wing Bow is a secret among the secrets in my barracks!" Li Hanrui asked in disbelief.
"Second brother, you misunderstood, sometimes you don't need to steal your weapons at all, there are all kinds of masters from all walks of life in this ghost city, you don't need to bring things or graphics, even if you depict this thing, the people here can basically make it for you!"
"So powerful?"
"That's why it's a ghost market! But since you said it was a weapon, I probably knew where to look for it, so you come with me! After Wang Heming finished speaking, he walked forward with Li Hanrui.
Li Hanrui really has a long experience today, and he didn't say a word when he followed Wang Heming, and he saw everyone here along the way, including lame people and children?
Doing business at such a young age? It's early enough to get into the industry! Hearing a coquettish laugh, Li Hanrui turned his head and instantly widened his eyes, was that woman not wearing a top?
I saw a woman with a golden mask wearing only a half-cut gauze skirt in public, her upper body was naked, and a circle of men was admiring it outside, and the woman was particularly open, constantly twisting her body, and the proud scenery on her chest was unobstructed!
"Second brother likes this?" Wang Heming asked with a smile. Li Hanrui's face turned red
"Ahem, get down to business, get down to business!" Wang Heming laughed, it seemed that it was commonplace, the two came to a cave, and a piece of paper was pasted at the door of the cave, and a hammer was drawn on the white paper, and Li Hanrui didn't understand what it meant!
"This is it!" Wang Heming took Li Hanrui into the cave, where the light was not enough outside, but there were candles and open flames inside, which could be seen clearly in front of him, and it was very stuffy inside, and the sound of striking iron seemed to be heard in his ears.
Wang Heming came in and shouted directly
"Gu Fatty? Dead? Didn't die snort! ”
"Who? Looking for death? A dull voice came, and I saw a middle-aged fat man shirtless walking out, and after seeing Wang Heming, the fat man smiled
"Who did I think it was? Isn't this the messenger of justice in the capital? Why are you free to come to me? The fat man didn't wear a mask, he had a round face, a beard, he looked very rough, and he seemed to be very familiar with Wang Heming.
"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you here, this is my second brother, I have something I want to ask!" After Wang Heming finished speaking, he looked at Li Hanrui
"Second brother, this is my friend, and he is also the most famous craftsman here, he should know everything you want to ask!" Li Hanrui looked at the man
"Excuse me, is there a Tatar coming over today and asking you about the Celestial Winged Bow?" When the fat man heard this, he did not answer, but laughed
"Childe, this is the first time you've come to the ghost market, right? The people who come here are wearing masks, what Tatars do I know? But one guy did come here and asked me if I could make a winged bow! "Sure enough!
Wang Heming really helped a lot
"And how did you respond?" The fat man smiled, picked up the water altar on the side, and picked it up.
Drink a few sips in a row
"I'm a person, I don't have any hobbies in my life, I just like to create some strange things, but this man came here to tell me the appearance and function of the Tianyi Bow, I have never seen it, let alone heard of it, so I answered that I can't do it!"
