After separating from Wu Gong and others, Tsurumi Hatsuyun quickly changed his makeup and walked around the city, looking for the face of the ghost market.

However, the destruction of Huaiying City was so severe that almost two-thirds of the buildings were destroyed, and the city walls facing the northwest side had long been devoid of the city walls, supporting countless wooden shelves of various sizes, and were being rebuilt everywhere.

I don't know where she went, then she stopped and looked around in confusion.

"How can this be here?"

In this city, she can't even find a face in the black market, even a shop.

Helplessly, she could only walk to a man who was cutting a wooden plank not far away.

"Big brother! Eldest brother! ……”

It may be that the man was too attentive, and Tsurumi Hatsukumo shouted several times in a row without attracting his attention, and it was not until Tsurumi Hatsuun walked in front of him that he raised his head and glanced at her flat face, but quickly lowered his head and continued to sharpen the planks on the bench.

"What's the matter?"

"Well, I've first come here and got lost in the city, so may I ask if there is a restaurant in the city."

"Yes." The man said without raising his head, his voice very cold.

Seeing Chuyun, Tsuru was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Great, then please ask my eldest brother to help me point out the direction." ”

This time, the man stopped talking, and was cutting the plank on his own, as if he couldn't hear what Tsurumi Hatsukumo was saying behind him.

"Big brother?"

"Big brother!"

She began to shout again, but the man ignored her since.

Tsurumi Hatsumo suddenly thought of something, and the polite smile on his face slowly disappeared, becoming expressionless.

She stretched out her hand, put down a stack of copper coins on the wooden board in front of the other party, and said in a tone without the slightest emotion: "I'll give you fifty yuan, and you tell me what you know." ”

This copper coin, like some kind of switch, saw it, the man finally had a little expression on his face.

Looking up and glancing at Tsurumi Chuyun's face again, he suddenly reached out and put away the fifty copper coins, the action was fast and urgent, for fear that someone would rob him.

After the money was in his pocket, the man put down the work in his hand and said to her with some enthusiasm: "You want to go to the restaurant, just go to the east of the city, and now only that side of our place can be regarded as good." ”

"That's what the rest of the world looks like?"

"Well, a lot of people are homeless and busy building houses."

“…… So why is this happening? ”

"This thing is long, if you want to blame those spies from Yu Kingdom, they came to us and were found out and fought, and even the Venerable Lord took action at that time."

"Xuanjie Venerable?" The man's words made Tsurumi Hatsuun startled, and then she became even more puzzled, the damage around this city was very serious, but she had always thought that it was caused by the battle between the spiritual level monks.

But if it was the Xuan Rank, with their terrifying destructive power, Huaiying City, which was the battlefield, would only be bulldozed, and it was no exaggeration to say that it could not still exist at all.

She now had reason to suspect that the person in front of her didn't know what kind of existence Xuan Jie was at all, but his words later made everything reasonable.

"Xuanjie Venerable? That's right, it's what I said about Venerable Lord, but they didn't fight for long, and they were quickly moved by our Venerable Lord to a hundred miles away, otherwise, our land would have been ruined a long time ago, just ......" Speaking of this, the man's face showed some sadness.

"It's that my wife and children are all dead, and now I'm the only one left."

Tsurumi Hatsukumo glanced at him.

If you want to ask Ruth for money, you will say, this guy in front of me is afraid that he has done a lot of work, and he doesn't know how many travelers have passed by here.

But she can't say anything about his tragedy, and it's too hurtful to say that he deserves it.

And judging from his words, for the sake of Huaiying City, Yu Guo should have planned for a long time, and even sent the Venerable of the Xuan Rank over.

As for why Yu Guo used such a big hand, in fact, it is not difficult to guess that there is an elixir abundant in Huaiying City, called Eagle Tail Spirit Flower, this thing is one of the materials for refining the Boiling Blood Pill, and he had heard from other people's mouths long before leaving Changzhou that a large number of Boiling Blood Pills would be transported out of Huaiying City every day, and then sent to the Ash Marsh.

And the supply line from Huaiying City to the Gray Marsh is not long, and it will take less than ten days and half a month to arrive.

Obviously, the existence of Huaiying City has brought a lot of trouble to Yuguo.

But these are not things she should think about, now what she has to do is to quickly exchange the pill in her hand for silver, but looking at the current appearance of Huaiying City, this ghost market may not exist, she has to find another way to sell pills and prepare.

So she asked the man again: "Is there a Dantang in the east of this city?" ”

"Dantang?" The man was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked, "Are you looking for an alchemist master?" ”

"Uh-huh." Tsurumi Hatsumo nodded hurriedly.

"Uh......" Seeing her like this, the man showed hesitation, and then said slowly: "Don't you know, two months ago, our three alchemists here have died......

"Huh?" His words made Tsurumi Hatsuun stunned, thinking that he had misheard.

The alchemist is dead?

Three more dead?

"Three alchemists, all dead?"

"Yes, it's all dead, if you want to buy the pill, let's go to Jizhou City, now the price of a pill here has increased several times, those adults are all vying for it, and we ordinary people can't buy it at all."

“……”

Tsurumi Hatsumo nodded, and the man asked, "What else do you want to ask?" ”

"Nope."

"No, then you go quickly, I still have work to do."

Tsuru saw that Hatsukumo did not stop, turned his head and left.

Originally, she wanted to ask why the families in this city were moving out, but now she didn't need to ask her to understand, the alchemists were all dead, and without the supply of pills, the family living here couldn't develop at all, what could they do if they didn't leave?

The person who can become an alchemist can be said to be one in ten thousand, counting from the year of the founding of the Great Liang, the alchemist in Jiyuan Sili has never had much spare endowment, and at its peak, there were only a dozen.

As for how many alchemists in the idle state of Daliang Ji Yuansi are there now? She wasn't sure about that, but she could count it on five fingers.

And in this case, three died at one time, which is a greater loss for the girder than a direct loss of a city.

Now that Huaiying City is in a state of no alchemist, it may be difficult for Wuchuan Jiyuansi to send a new alchemist over, not why, just take Tsurumi Chuyun herself, if she is an alchemist belonging to Jiyuansi, and she hears that the place she is going to is Jizhou, which is in the midst of war, then she will not agree to anything.

It's okay for anyone to joke with their own lives, even if they are guarded by a master.

Therefore, the days when there were no alchemists in Huaiying City might last for a while.

Re-mounted on his horse, Tsurumi Hatsukumo took out the compass and headed in the direction of the east of the city that the man said, and sure enough, after walking for a while, some intact buildings came into view, and he finally saw the prosperity of the city.

Shen Yi also looked around through her gaze, and suddenly he shouted, "Old witch, look over there." ”

"Which side?"

"You're on the right."

"Oh, where do you sell the noodles?"

"No, the one next to it, what kind of cake, it looks delicious with pickles."

"Oh, I'll buy it."

Now Tsurumi Hatsuyun has more than seven taels of silver, but only two taels can be used.

But that's enough, the things sold in the store that Shen Yi was referring to were very cheap for her, two pennies a piece, she felt that it tasted good after tasting it, so she bought some, and walked around the road while eating, but Shen Yi's mouth in her head was not idle.

"Over there, old witch, buy a little bit of that bun-like thing."

"Hmm."

"And the one in the distance."

"Oooh."

"Eh, what's that?"

"Tofu?"

"It's not like ...... You can also go over and buy some and try it, and ask the store to put more peppers. ”

"Okay."

"I looked left and right, and it seemed that the grilled gluten was delicious."

"I haven't finished buying it yet, ancestor."

"Hurry up."

"Can you afford to buy so much?"

"I won't be able to eat?"

"Okay, okay, glutton."

In desperation, she could only buy and buy according to Shen Yi's intentions, and after a trip, her stomach was already full.

And just as she was about to find a place where no one was there for Shen Yi to come out to eat, she was suddenly attracted by something and turned her head to look at it suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

"It's like the face of the black market." She said faintly, Shen Yi blinked when she heard this, and her attention was all focused on the perspective she had concentrated in the alley, and saw a pawn shop inside.

"Wang ...... Pawnshop? ”

At first glance, there is nothing unusual, but at second glance you can see some clues, first of all, a black curtain hangs at the door, which covers the interior furnishings tightly, and on the outside is placed a huge water tank, the surface of which is so mottled that it is clear that no one has used it for a long time.

And next to the water tank, there is a black cat that has been tied with strips of cloth.

"Good guys, I'm afraid that someone won't know that they are ghost cities."

"We'll eat later, let's go first."

As he spoke, Tsuru saw Chuyun get up and walk directly towards the pawnshop, and Shen Yi also knew the priorities, so naturally he didn't refuse.

When the black curtain is lifted, what catches your eye is a small space, which is about ten square meters by sight, but there are few furnishings, and it looks relatively wide.

The decoration inside is brand new solid wood, and there is a lot of sawdust dust on the ground, and you can see at a glance that this pawnshop has just opened, and it may not even be opened, but it has just been renovated, and now there are two small servants cleaning the ground with a broom, and the emaciated shopkeeper behind the window is carefully playing with a crystal clear cup.

When he saw someone coming in, he looked up and couldn't help but rejoice: "Yo, it's coming so soon...... Little girl, what do you have to do? Our Wang Ji is a time-honored brand, and it has always been a child...... without deception" Before he finished speaking, Tsurumi Chuyun had already come to the stage and interrupted him: "I don't want things, I want to redeem things." ”

"Oh, ransom, what are you going to ransom?"

Tsurumi Hatsukumo lowered his voice: "I want to redeem the moon in the sky." ”

"The moon in the sky...... Wait for me to see. The shopkeeper didn't react, and subconsciously wanted to go into the back warehouse to find out, but as soon as he turned around, he tasted it, and turned his head to look at the crane with some displeasure on his face when he saw Chuyun: "Girl, aren't you Kuang me, how can there be a moon in the sky?" ”

She didn't speak, just silently showed the traveler crow mark she had taken from Zhuo Mingjin.

The shopkeeper was stunned when he saw that thing, and finally reacted.

"That's what the girl meant......"

"Huh?" This time, Chang He was stunned when she saw Chu Yun, and in the next second, her eyes when she looked at the shopkeeper became vigilant.

There is a black curtain and a black cat at the door, she has seen it for the first time, and the shopkeeper, as the manager of the ghost market, should be clear about the rules and regulations of the ghost market, but just now he didn't realize that his purpose was to find the ghost market.

Now she had to suspect the spies planted by the Liang royal family in this pawn shop city.

"You...... I don't know? ”

"Of course I know, but you can see what kind of girl we are in this place now, everyone is anxious, how can anyone have the leisure to care about the affairs of the ghost market? Now our ghost market has long been on the surface, and this month, it's the first time I've encountered you asking like this, which makes people a little unresponsive. ”

Hearing the shopkeeper's explanation, Tsurumi Hatsumo breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Is the ghost market still there?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded: "Of course." ”

"Please tell the shopkeeper about it." Tsurumi Hatsuun took out five taels of silver and put it in front of the counter.

But the shopkeeper glanced at it, but he hesitated: "Hmm...... Girl, our ghost market here is a little different from the ghost market you have encountered in the past, there is no one in charge there now, if the treasure on your body attracts others to covet it, and something happens and suffers a loss, but no one will give you justice, enter the ghost market, you have to think about it. ”

"This ......" Hearing him say this, Tsurumi Hatsuun paused obviously, and reached out and touched the five taels of silver he had just placed on the counter.

There are no rules in the ghost market, who dares to enter this?

Moreover, the three alchemists in Huaiying City are all dead, and the pills have become in short supply, if she dares to go in and sell the pills, she will be targeted by 100% people, and her life will be in danger at that time, so she might as well find a place to sneak out of the pills in her hand.

But just as she was about to take back the five taels of silver, the shopkeeper stopped her one step ahead of her.

"Wait a minute!"

"Huh?"

"That's the case, you also know, there is no rule without a circle, although our ghost market has no management, but everyone knows the rules, in the ghost market, no one should have the courage to do anything to you, if everyone breaks the rules, how can this ghost market still exist?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, the girl can choose to go in, but how to get out of it is up to the girl." When the shopkeeper said this, his eyes kept staring at the five taels of silver, obviously reluctant.

But if you think about it carefully, he has a point, the most important thing in the ghost market is the word rules, without the rules, there is no need for the ghost market to exist.

Eventually, she nodded and withdrew her hand.

"Where's the ghost city?"

"Go out and turn right, walk fifty steps to the east of the street, walk two hundred steps to the right through the first road and see a red wall house, then turn left to Cuiliupo, enter the second alley on the right hand side and walk all the way to the ghost market."

"When?"

"You can do it anytime, there are more people during the day and fewer people at night."

“……”
