The dark village between Huaiyin and Huaibei is hidden in the valley.

Zhuang Ming spent six years, exhausted his mental strength, and with the help of Qianyang and Yin Ming, he became the richest man in the sixteen prefectures of Huai'an.

In the past two years, he stabilized the situation, expanded his business, and gradually expanded to the entire Dongsheng Dynasty, and at the same time, he also thought about infiltrating his own power into the dark village.

It's just that the situation in the dark village is more complicated than he imagined.

On the surface, there are all major schools of martial arts, including lone rangers with extremely high martial arts, but behind the scenes, there is also the background of the official family, and the interests are entangled and complicated.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhuang Ming temporarily gave up the idea of infiltrating the dark village and continued to expand his business.

But he is no stranger to Dark Village.

——

The road in the valley is not rough.

The carriage moved slowly.

Until someone showed up to stop him.

There were four young warriors dressed in black, with sharp eyes, each holding a long sword, and stopped in front.

"Those who come stop, the inside is a forbidden place for this faction, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. ”

A young man stood up and said.

Yin Ming drove the carriage, his expression still cold.

The dark valleys in various places exist in the dark, and on the bright side, they use different sects of rivers and lakes as a disguise.

"I'm waiting to come to the Dark Village, looking for a deal. Yin Ming suddenly spoke.

"What dark village?" the young man looked cold and said, "This is the Catchment Gang, you are in the wrong place." ”

"I have a token here. ”

Yin Ming's expression was as usual, and he said this, stretching out his hand back.

In the car, Zhuang Ming closed the booklet in his hand and handed it to Frost Spirit.

Frost Ling hurriedly took it, got up and leaned out of the carriage, and handed the booklet to Yin Ming.

After Yin Ming took the booklet, he handed it over.

The young man's eyes were slightly condensed, he put the knife into the sheath, walked up, took the booklet, looked at it carefully, then nodded, put it in his arms, and said, "Name, identity, where it came from." ”

Yin Ming responded: "Zhuang Ming, merchant, Huai'an Fengcheng." ”

The young man glanced back.

His companion, too, was taking out a roster, flipped through it, and nodded at him.

When the young man heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, took half a step back, handed the booklet back to Yin Ming, and said: "Where the dark valley is, outsiders are not allowed to enter, so it is our duty to stop it here. ”

Yin Ming took back the booklet and answered.

When the young man said this, he continued: "In order to maintain order and for the sake of the quiet village, only one master and four servants are allowed to enter the token, please understand. ”

Yin Ming nodded, and then shouted to the rear: "The place is here, my son and I will go in, the six of you, go find a place to stay, and wait here before noon tomorrow." ”

The six guards all responded.

——

The carriage moved forward slowly.

Zhuang Ming sat in the car, his eyes slightly closed.

He reached into his left sleeve with his right hand and stroked the young dragon in his sleeve.

Although this young dragon is only like a cloud snake, it has not yet turned into a dragon, or even a dragon, but it is not a mortal thing after all, and its keen perception is much stronger than any martial arts master.

"On the surface, there are four people who come forward to block the road and ask, and there are twelve people hidden in the secret to prevent changes. ”

"There are a total of sixteen people, and the martial arts are all considered to have entered the house. ”

"One of them, strong in blood and qi, although hidden in the shadows, still can't hide my perception. ”

"This person's skills are also quite good, about the same as Bai Qing. ”

As he thought so, he faintly heard a voice outside.

Like the sound of street vendors.

Frost Spirit couldn't help but be curious, lifted the curtain, and looked towards the side of the carriage.

It's like a bazaar.

There are also shops on both sides, and all kinds of strange items are full of dazzling items.

There are elaborate ornaments, fancy costumes, and swords and daggers.

Later, there are flowers, grass roots, horns, claws, furs, and dried offal.

At the front, there were even people in chains, both men and women, who were sold like pigs and dogs.

"Something here that has a characteristic. ”

Zhuang Ming said slowly: "They are relatively rare and rare in the outside world, so they are more precious. ”

After a pause, he said: "As for these shops, behind each of them is the Jianghu sect of Huaibei. Only rare things will appear here. And the people who come to the dark village, some people are there to buy, and naturally some people are to sell. ”

Frost Spirit asked, "Can you only sell to these shops?"

Zhuang Ming laughed: "Generally speaking, the more precious things will be directly handed over to the dark village, and the one with the highest price will get it." And if the treasure in his hand is not enough to be on the table, he can only sell it to these shops, and these shops, in addition to what they want, usually sell the things they buy at a higher price. ”

After finishing speaking, I heard Zhuang Ming say with a smile: "Tonight, take you out for a walk, I also think about whether I can get some treasures in these places that ordinary people can't see the value." ”

Over the years, he has also had some experience in the identification of antiquities and ancient books.

But more importantly, he has true qi himself, and the perception of this young dragon is extraordinary.

Often there are many objects that ordinary people can't distinguish, but he can sense them.

So he was really interested in taking a walk around the valley.

"It's not ...... tonight"

Frost Spirit was about to mention the matter of the Jade God Flower, but he felt that this was already a dark village, so he didn't dare to say more, for fear of being listened to by others.

Zhuang Ming said: "Tomorrow morning, it will be the main event, tonight, we will live in the dark village." ”

This booklet of the dark village cost eight hundred taels of silver.

This is not only the introduction of various treasures, but also the voucher to enter the valley, and it is also the cost of stay.

The people involved in this transaction, the dark village has prepared a temporary courtyard.

Eight hundred taels of silver, only for one night.

This is about the most expensive inn in the entire Dongsheng Dynasty.

——

The valley at night, brightly lit.

Lanterns are hung all over the place, illuminating the entire dark village.

The guards of the dark village are patrolling around, also to prevent fires.

"Do you see that?"

Zhuang Ming looked at Bai Lao and asked.

Bai Lao said in a low voice: "These guards, a team of twelve people, all of them do not squint, their expressions are solemn, their steps are steady, and the formation is neat. ”

Zhuang Ming nodded and said, "Behind the dark village, there are really big people in the court. ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at the frost spirit and smiled again, "What do you like?"

Frost Spirit shook his head like a rattle, and said again and again, "No, no, not at all." ”

She had just taken a fancy to a piece of ornament, and then asked about it, and she actually said what kind of precious material it was made of, and which master made it himself, and it cost six hundred taels of silver.

The price was jaw-dropping, and it really shocked her weak heart.

She felt that even if she sold ten of herself, she would not be able to exchange it for such an ornament.

With the current situation of the Dongsheng Dynasty, the daughter of an ordinary poor family can only be worth a dozen or twenty taels of silver if she sells herself to a little maid from a large family.

"Hehe, you stupid girl......"

Zhuang Ming smiled dumbly, but he didn't get anything himself.

It is also said that the things that can appear in the dark village are naturally recognized as treasures, and basically they will not be mundane.

There are experts in each store, who have identified them three or five times, and few of them have looked away.

The treasures that are really eye-catching are probably also regarded as waste and thrown away from the dark village.

As for the Jade God Flower, it was an accident, and it was a man-made accident.

If you really want to say that you have found a treasure, maybe the Baishen pot is an unexpected joy.

"Then go back, take care of your spirits, and tomorrow will be lively." ”

Zhuang Ming waved his hand, and was about to signal Yin Ming to push him back.

However, just ahead, a group of people came slowly.

There were five people in this group, four guards, each carrying a lantern.

The first person was a young man, his face was like a crown of jade, his figure was straight, he was holding a folding fan, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

"Mr. Thirteen is polite. ”

The young man said: "In the next, Xuancheng Song family, Song Tianyuan." ”
