Volume 1 The Long Night Chapter 25 I have a life, but I can be used as a few dollars
A certain year
A girl dressed in gray and white clothes walked into a very common pawnshop in the triangle city with a wooden face, the pawnshop faΓ§ade is not big, at first glance it is very inconspicuous, the shop is hung with the word "dang dang", but people often do not notice that next to the three words dang dang, there is a small triangle diamond flower print.
The girl looked up at the old courtier who was sitting behind the high platform, her beautiful eyes blank and blank.
The old Chaofeng said expressionlessly:
"What should the comer be?"
The girl said "my life"
......
......
After leaving Xuanwutai, Changqing and Ma Liuer separated, Yingyue led Changqing and said that he was going to settle his salary, and Changqing was very curious about the "black crow" to which Yingyue belonged, so he happily went with him.
The two of them walked along the lively streets, and the streets and alleys of Triangle City always had an unclean feeling, perhaps because there was a lot of sand and yellow dust, and even the occasional rain could not wash it away.
Unlike the one in the south, the ethereal scene of Xiaolou Xinyu Mountain is naturally different.
Eventually, the two came to a pawnshop, and Changqing looked up.
"Dang Kedang" shop is very narrow, a small door, after the two enter, there is a high platform, the old Chaofeng opened one eye, snorted, and ignored Yingyue and Changqing.
Yingyue took Changqing and continued to walk inside, pushing open a wooden door, behind the door was a warehouse, a pair of teenagers and girls were holding a blue and white porcelain bottle, looking at it non-stop, as if looking at the most rare treasure in the world.
Among them, the young man held up a round mirror-like object in front of his eyes, and one hand kept stroking the pattern on the porcelain vase.
"It is indeed a wide-sleeved group of immortal porcelain bottles, girl, you said that the things in the forbidden palace of Da Chu back then will eventually fall to us, God is not magical, and it is not surprising. β
The girl who was called Ya'er would squat on the ground, look at a few patterns at the bottom of the bottle and say:
"Da Chu is dead, what's not surprising?"
The two children left Yingyue and Changqing aside, Yingyue was not in a hurry, and Changqing naturally didn't say anything.
At this time, the young man put down the round mirror in his hand, turned around and said to Yingyue and Changqing:
"The man my sister is looking for outside?"
Changqing couldn't see Yingyue's expression clearly, but she also knew that she must be laughing.
The young man shook his head and said in an old-fashioned manner:
"When can I eat my sister's wine?"
When the girl heard this, she no longer stared at the porcelain vase, but made a grimace at Changqing and said:
"Although my sister is twenty-eight this year, not twenty-eight in the twenty-eighth year, but the maintenance is good, the butt is big, and it is easy to give birth, this son, don't miss it when you pass by, hurry up and get married"
Changqing couldn't hold back his laughter for a while, and as a result, he almost lost a front tooth.
The two imps then gloated at each other, the boy threw an iron bead into an inconspicuous porcelain vase on the ground, and the girl removed a cone-shaped pendant and inserted it into a mechanism on the wall.
This is accompanied by a series of mechanical grinding sounds of aching teeth.
Changqing was about to ask Yingyue what had happened, when the floor under their feet suddenly fell.
I don't know where I fell.
A young girl, a teenager lying on the edge of the hole, the corners of their mouths curled.
......
As the saying goes, there are three holes of the cunning rabbit, but Changqing feels that this place is really amazing, when he was in the Du family, when he saw thousands of swords hanging on his head, he was extremely shocked in his heart, but compared with the shock in front of him, it was still a small thing.
Descending all the way down a dark passage, a large number of caves can be seen along the way, and thinking that there are other paths, Changqing can't help but wonder if Yingyue is going to sell herself, or catch herself and do something inhumane.
Changqing didn't know how many zhang he had fallen, anyway, when the place he was in was stabilized, the machine expansion gears made a clicking sound again, and Changqing's scalp was numb again.
Finally stopped, if it weren't for Changqing's slow heartbeat now, I'm afraid that his heart would have hit like a deer at this time, and he would be scared a lot if he forgave him.
Then came the real shock, first of all, the circular ceiling, with countless rare orbs, glowing softly, making the underground as bright as day.
Then Changqing found that there were many people coming and going, there were woodcutters wearing flat poles, strong men carrying pig-killing knives, and there were many young girls with eyebrows and eyes, and the style and killing intent coexisted.
And the feeling of these people looking at Changqing made Changqing have a strange feeling, these people seemed to be thinking about how to kill themselves as quickly as possible.
Yingyue led Changqing all the way forward, before Changqing didn't think that Yingyue was an assassin, or not a very cold assassin, at this time, Changqing was a little uncertain, because Yingyue's temperament was really cold here.
Changqing lowered his voice and said:
"These people, just like you, are all assassins?"
Yingyue nodded, casually pointed at those various people and said:
"We are not called assassins, we all call ourselves crows. And here is the number one in line, the man is forty-ninth, and the old man is thirty-seventh, and the girl is twenty-third, and I won't talk about the rest."
Changqing asked with a strange face:
"You are in the first place, I don't think you are very strong, I guess there is no ranking. β
Yingyue suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Changqing with a smile:
"Believe it or not, I'm here to kill you, and the city lord can't help me?"
Changqing said stupidly:
"Faith in Faith"
Yingyue stretched out a hand, made a six-character, and made a nine-character, two gestures, and told Changqing that she was the sixty-ninth.
Then Yingyue said lightly:
"Those of us who live in the shadow of the world, the pawnshops you just saw, claiming to be all the things that can be taken in the world, and the guests will be there, and they will take out something that matches the value of what they want, it may be a treasure, it may be a secret book, it may be a message, or even more, their own life. β
Changqing suddenly Ling Ran.
......
Many people know that there is such a pawnshop, which is very inconspicuous and can be used as some rare things, but what many people don't know is that when you have no way out, someone will seem to inadvertently reveal to you, do you know that shop, you can do anything.
Yingyue was one of them back then, her name was Zhang Youqin at that time, and when she followed a teenager to this vast underground country with a wooden expression, Rao was like ashes, and she was still deeply shocked by this scene.
And when she came to a secret room and saw the tall man with a calm and noble atmosphere, the man smiled slightly and said to her, in the future, you are "Ertan Reflecting the Moon", everyone will be afraid of you, you don't have to be afraid anymore.
Then the man gave her a huqin.
Patted her on the shoulder
The girl burst into tears.
......
When Changqing followed Yingyue to a dark and cramped darkroom, such a darkroom was outside, Changqing saw no less than twenty rooms, and people in different costumes often came in and out.
There was a smiling principal in the darkroom, a young woman of ordinary appearance, although she was not very old, but the wind and sand in the north still made her look more mature and stable than those girls in the south.
She smiled and nodded at Yingyue:
"Liangzhou Thorn History, Liu Hubao, Captain of Qingtai County, Hezhou, the two tasks have been successfully completed, and they have been exchanged for meritorious service for you"
Yingyue just nodded slightly and explained to Changqing:
"Our merits here can be exchanged for anything you want, such as cheats, weapons and equipment, and even news, only what you can't think of, nothing you can't exchange, of course, you can also use it to improve your ranking, the higher the ranking, the more money you receive every month, and the more work you can contact. β
Changqing nodded.
The woman in charge suddenly smiled at Changqing and said:
"Evergreen boy, the master wants to invite you, please come with me"
Changqing was slightly stunned, the people here seemed to know their identity completely, he looked at Yingyue suspiciously, Yingyue just shook her head and said she didn't know.
Yingyue stayed in the dark room, Changqing followed the principal to the depths of the dark room, and did not see the woman's movements, with a sound of opportunity, a dark passage appeared in front of her, and the female protagonist held a fire candle.
The light of the fire was faint, and the secret passage meandered until it suddenly opened up in front of him.
Changqing looked fixedly, as if he had come to an ordinary rich hall, a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue shirt and a black hakama beckoned to Changqing with a smile.
And the hostess has quietly stepped back.
The middle-aged man sat on the main seat, Changqing sat on the side, and the middle-aged man held a white tea cup and kept shaking the cup of tea.
Changqing secretly observed the man, and couldn't see the depth of the internal force of the breath, but he had an extraordinary bearing, and he wanted to be in a high position.
The middle-aged man smiled and said:
"My surname is Bai, and I am the lord of this city."
Changqing was slightly stunned, Bai Yun, the third in the world, was actually the master behind this assassin organization?
The middle-aged man continued:
"I know what you're thinking, but don't worry, we black crows have the best intelligence sources in the world, the shadow guards of the Nanzhao Supervision Temple, and the eagle guards and dog guards of the Northern Youyou, but they are all inferior ways, black crow pawnshops are all over the world, and what is a better source of information than the eyes and ears of the people in the world, many people are willing to exchange news for more valuable things. β
Changqing was slightly stunned:
"I thought you were just assassins, but you were still spies? You are the city lord, and you have such means, I am just an unknown person, what are the intentions of me, the city lord?"
Bai Yun smiled heartily and said:
"It's not an attempt, I know what you did with Yingyue all the way, before you entered the city, there was already a piece of information in front of me, for what you did, it can be regarded as a favor to our black crows, and you must repay it, your physical condition is very bad, now you are like rootless water, you must continue to devour others before the qi is burned out. β
Speaking of this, Bai Yun paused, picked up the teacup, drank it all, and said with a smile, "Amber often says that I don't understand tea, and the wild cow absorbs water and holds the hidden heavenly things." β
Originally, the atmosphere was solemn, and Changqing couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and then frowned slightly, if it was really as the city lord said, wouldn't he be like the deep mountain fox demon said in those words, sucking people's essence and blood, but since the city lord took the initiative to mention it, there must be a solution, but I don't know what he wants.
The White Cloud City Lord lay back and said:
"I don't like to hide it, let's tell you directly, I have a solution to your physical problems, but you have to join the crow, I should advance the merits to you in advance, and provide this method to you, how about it?"
Changqing smiled and replied gently:
"The city lord just said that I am also kind to the black crow, how can I become an advance again. β
The White Cloud City Lord rubbed his nose and said:
"Young people don't always care about these details, you can pay back your merits slowly, the key is that you can still have a silver income every month, why not do it. β
Changqing secretly smiled bitterly, got up and said:
"City Lord, I will not enter the crow, but I will repay these merits, and when I am done with my merits, I will quit. β
The corners of Bai Yun's mouth rose and clapped his hands, and the woman in charge went and returned, holding a scroll in her hand and handing it to Changqing.
He handed over a heavy bag of money to Changqing, and said with a smile:
"This is the money of the evergreen boy this month, and now the ranking of the evergreen boy is 4507th"
Changqing was slightly stunned, weighing it, this is really a lot of money, and he is still a person at the end, it seems that this black crow is really rich.
I already knew how to spend more money on the moon.
Then he opened the scroll, and the scroll read: "The dragon scales of the Arctic Ice Plain, the giant python gall of the Southern Barbarian Swamp, and the fairy fruit of the Immortal Island"
Changqing shook his head with a wry smile and said:
"It seems that I still have to go to these places by myself and fight with these dragons and pythons?"
Bai Yun smiled and nodded: "These three things are all things that conquer heaven and earth, and each of them is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. β
Changqing smiled bitterly, feeling like he was on a thief ship.
Bai Yun watched as the hostess led Changqing to say goodbye and leave, and a smile slowly converged on her face.
