The black market in Star City is in the south of the city, very ordinary streets and alleys, but there are not many people who know, during the day it is a jade treasure street, and in the middle of the night, there are many vendors, and the things sold are all strange, there are all kinds of things, most of them are things of unknown origin, but there are also some treacherous people who specifically pick the black market to cheat in this rather mysterious place, in short, there are all kinds of people.

After Liu Lu returned to Star City, he did not delay, and went to the black market after a little disguise. The reason why he still knew about the existence of the black market was because Master Hu Wei took him there once.

Speaking of which, in the past few months since he came to Star City, Liu Lu has never been to this black market.

The time when the black market opened was from the time of the child, Liu Lu came more than halfway through the time of the child, and there were already many people in the spacious streets and alleys, except for a few people who were covered with their heads, everyone else looked like their original faces, messy, just like a small market at night, that is, it looked dark and dark, not very bright.

Liu Lu looked at the small stalls on the side of the street, many of them looked like they were put together improvised, very simple, a few things were scattered on a tattered linen or rotten grass mat, most of them did not even have a candle lamp, completely through the oil lights on other slightly larger stalls, it looked mysterious, quite a different feeling.

But Liu Lu knows that nine out of ten of such small stalls are pretending to be liars.

On the stalls on the black market, there are mostly treasured things, as well as strange stones and jade that are naturally indispensable in Star City, of course, these things are inconvenient to disclose in the words of the owner, and they are not suitable for the treasures that appear on the market, so you can pick them with your own eyes if you want to.

Liu Lu is not interested in this kind of thing at all, so when he passes by, he glances at the excitement and doesn't stay much, except for the purpose of this trip, what he is interested in is something strange.

Like an old man dressed as an old peasant, he was quite curious about a few broken pottery bowls on the rotten straw mat and a green statue of a foot-tall monster with a lot of dirt stuck to it.

"What is this?"

"I don't know,...... dug out of the ground. ”

After hearing the last sentence of the old farmer slowly spitting out like thick phlegm, Liu Lu immediately smiled, the old farmer meant nothing more than to say that the thing was a burial object that was inadvertently dug up.

Liu Lu knew that if he asked a few more words, he would be able to hear a legendary story from the old farmer, and it would not be good to listen to it, and it must be under his repeated questioning that the old farmer would tell it in a twisted way.

The old farmer also saw that Liu Lu was not his destined person, so he didn't say anything more.

Liu Lu naturally has no interest in continuing to waste time, this routine has been educated by Hu Wei in the two years that he followed his master Hu Wei to the rivers and lakes.

The next stall where Liu Lu stopped for a while was a young man with a good appearance and a wealthy temperament selling jewelry, and from the conversation between the stall owner and other people, Liu Lu also heard a rough idea, which meant that the rich and noble son who usually had a bad style secretly sold his old mother's jewelry in exchange for some pocket money.

Liu Lu didn't comment on this, anyway, in his heart, most of the things were stolen, but they weren't his old mother's, so it was unknown.

While watching the excitement one by one, Liu Lu was attracted by a down-and-out swordsman, of course, not because of people, but because of the swordsman sitting in front of the stone steps, with a dilapidated manual.

Liu Lu approached curiously, and was about to reach out to take it, but was stopped by a voice that sounded weak.

"If you don't buy it, don't move it."

Although the other party's words were not polite, Liu Lu was not angry, "How do you know if it's worth buying without looking?" ”

"That's your problem." The down-and-out swordsman still looked weak, as if he was about to run out of food, and he still refused to lower his posture.

Liu Lu thought about it for a while, and felt that this person had a good temperament, and he should have some ability, but now he should have encountered some difficulties, so he would sell a secret book that a martial arts practitioner cherishes very much.

Although Liu Lu has made some achievements in swordsmanship now, he is limited by the resources around him, and he has very few martial arts cheats that he can access, so he is generally very interested in things that can help him improve his strength, and he is not willing to miss it easily.

Liu Lu hesitated for a moment and agreed, "Okay, I'll buy it." ”

"How much?"

"Ten taels of silver."

This price is a bit unexpected by Liu Lu, what kind of cheats shouldn't be so cheap.

"Maybe he just needs a little money for emergencies." Liu Lu thought so in his heart, feeling that although the other party was down, he did not lose the free and easy heart of a chivalrous man who didn't care much about money.

Liu Lu took out the silver on his body, and now that he has the promise of Xianyi, he doesn't cherish the money he has saved too much during this time.

After handing over the silver and picking up the shabby book, Liu Lu took a general look at it, there were pictures and words in it, and it looked like it was indeed a swordsmanship, because the light was relatively dim, and he didn't take a closer look at it and put it in his arms.

Then Liu Lu didn't get close to the man anymore, so he turned around and left, but after he walked out of the way, when he inadvertently looked back, he saw a scene that almost made him vomit blood.

Originally, he thought that the down-and-out swordsman who had won the silver money should be ready to leave, but who knew what he saw when he looked back, it was actually the man who slowly swallowed it and pulled out a shabby book from under his ass and threw it in front of him at random, and then he continued to sit there in a daze with lazy eyes and lost his eyes.

"Your uncle!"

Liu Lu couldn't help but curse, and suddenly felt that he should have been fooled.

Liu Lu took out the worn-out book in his arms, held it in his hand, and as soon as his brain was bloodshot, he immediately turned around and came to the down-and-out swordsman.

Liu Lu viciously slammed the book in his hand in front of the man, "Bastard, return the money!" ”

"What do you mean?" The down-and-out swordsman still looks weak.

"You're a liar."

"What did I lie to you?"

The other party's unhappiness made Liu Lu even more annoyed.

"Then tell me, is this book of swordsmanship of yours real?"

"I told you it was a swordsmanship cheat?"

"You ......" Liu Lu was suddenly dumbfounded, and his heart was a little cold. So what are you selling? ”

"Sell books."

Liu Lu was silent for a while, he really wanted to draw his sword and compete with the guy opposite who now made him extremely annoying, but he had a lot of concerns, although this black market looked free and loose, but secretly there was a strong force supporting its rules, otherwise there would not be so many inappropriate things here and still be safe, and a lot of money could not cause a little disturbance on this dark and windy night.

The people who come here do not do business by faith and the laws of the Manifest Kingdom.

Besides, with the other party's fearless appearance, Liu Lu was really not sure that he would definitely be able to beat the other party.

The black market is not a place to be reasonable, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, as long as the money and goods are cleared, all the consequences can only be borne by each other.

Liu Lu had no choice but to accept his fate.

Liu Lu glared at the down-and-out swordsman fiercely before turning to leave, but as soon as he took two steps, he turned around and quickly picked up the book he had thrown on the stone steps.

In Liu Lu's mind, although he didn't know how many books the liar still had, he just didn't want to leave him a copy to continue deceiving people.

For all of Liu Lu's actions, the down-and-out swordsman was still unmoved, and his eyes were indifferent.

After walking for a long time, Liu Lu was still very unhappy in his heart, but he held his stomach a little better, and the book that he wanted to throw away directly several times finally stayed, and he should buy a lesson.

Liu Lu admits that he has seen a lot of deception, and he also thinks that he is not a greedy person, so he should not be easily fooled, who knows that once he encounters what he needs, he still can't escape being deceived.

In the end, it can only be added with a few sighs.

"People and basic trust in people are gone!"

After that, Liu Lu was no longer interested in continuing to shop, and planned to go directly to business.

In addition to the most small stalls in the black market, there are also some small street shops with curtains hanging in mysterious places.

Liu Lu chose a small shop with an oil lamp, the façade is very small and ordinary, if it is placed in the daytime, it can only be a small place to sell some groceries, but when you get here, don't look at the small façade, but behind it are all opened by rich and powerful people.

The furnishings in the store are very simple, the small living room has a square table and four wooden chairs, and there is nothing else.

A white-faced and beardless middle-aged man with a good temperament sat at the wooden table and patiently rubbed an old jade, and after seeing Liu Lu come in, he gently spread the fluffy cloth on the table with one hand, and then gently put the jade in the other hand on the cloth unhurriedly.

Then he looked at Liu Lu, looking for a question, but he was not in a hurry to speak.

After Liu Lu came in, he noticed the master's hand at first sight, and under the dim candlelight, this person's hand was a little white and shiny.

"I want something, but it's a bit of a forbidden."

When he first followed Master Hu Wei to the black market, Liu Lu learned from Hu Wei about the simple trading rules of these shops, such a place collects some precious things, and sells some things, which can be regarded as having the nature of entrustment, as long as you pay the starting price, you can buy anything.

The white-faced man chuckled, and from the beginning, he did not despise Liu Lu because of his age or dress.

"In this place, there are no rules outside, so nothing is forbidden."

"That's good." Here Liu Lu didn't play any thoughts and eyes at all, so he said directly: "I want a topographic map, the older the better." ”

"Oh?" This business was a little interesting, and the white-faced man was a little interested, "Where do you want it?" ”

"It's not just Zhaomingguo, the bigger the better. As long as there are mountains and rivers, and some iconic things, you don't need to go into too much detail about the rest. ”

The white-faced man is also quite knowledgeable, but such a big and strange request is really rare, when Liu Lu just said that he wanted a topographic map, he thought that Liu Lu wanted a certain place in this Star City, or even from the palace, but the result was completely different from what he thought.

"Well...... this"

When the white-faced man groaned a little, Liu Lu was a little disappointed, thinking that this place was in vain and he was going to run for nothing.

The white-faced man continued, "There is a lot of difficulty, we can collect it, but I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. ”

Hearing this, there was hope, Liu Lu's eyes lit up, "I can wait." ”

"You'll have to pay a big deposit upfront."

"I understand the rules, no problem." Liu Lu said, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and put it on the table.

What Liu Lu took out was not anything gold or silver, which made the white-faced man a little curious about what was precious in the small porcelain vase in front of him, he didn't think that Liu Lu had the courage to take something to tease him.

After the white-faced man opened the small porcelain vase, he found that it was actually a True Qi Pill inside, and squinted his eyes.

The True Qi Pill is worth a lot of money anywhere, and it is naturally more than enough as a deposit, Liu Lu Nianjing was able to take out the True Qi Pill as a transaction deposit lightly, which immediately made the white-faced man look at it a few times.

Liu Lu said: "What, is there a problem?" ”

The white-faced man smiled, "Of course there is no problem. ”

"Your guests are so sincere, we will naturally not live up to the trust."

"So much for the best. How long do you take? ”

"Well...... a month."

As time goes by, there will be many accidents, so Liu Lu is not willing to wait so long. "It's more, ten days."

"I'll pick up something in ten days."

The white-faced man agreed after a moment of silence, and did not bargain with Liu Lu, they had to show their ability and professionalism in this business, so that they could sell at a high price.

Then the white-faced man gave Liu Lu a jade plate engraved with the word "Lin" as a certificate, even if the transaction agreement was reached.
