Volume 1 Beicang's First Acquaintance with the World Chapter 37 Anger rises outside the building, and light and darkness always depend on each other
In the remaining rounds of auctions, Xu Chenglin never participated again. Things were good, but they weren't what he needed the most. Well, that's not the case. The real situation is that there are not enough spirit stones on Xu Chenglin's body.
The remaining rounds of auctions are even more valuable than before, and even the legendary thousand-year-old elixir has appeared. Xu Chenglin looked at these rare things, his eyes were greedy, and he was also heartbroken. But he was helplessly worthless, who let him spend a lot of money to win the Five Elements Dao Book before. According to the current situation, even if he didn't buy the Five Elements Dao Book, it would be difficult for him to buy it with his net worth. Among the four essentials of this practice, there is still a certain reason to put wealth in the first place.
"I have money to travel all over the world, but it is difficult to move an inch without money, and the ancients will not deceive me!"
In Xu Chenglin's greedy heartache, the trade fair ended quietly. The old man in charge of the auction neatly announced the end of the fair. The group cultivators in the hall also dispersed with the end of the fair. In order to prevent being followed, Xu Chenglin mixed in with the crowd going out. Taking the opportunity to change his breath, Xu Chenglin walked out of Wanzhen Building in a big way.
Ever since he practiced the Divine Sword, Xu Chenglin's divine sense far surpassed that of ordinary monks. Under the powerful divine sense, he knew that someone was watching him. Most monks rely on their divine sense to track and lock, and once their breath changes, the tracking lock will lose its effectiveness. After Xu Chenglin changed his breath, he disappeared into the divine consciousness of those who were watching.
Out of Wanzhen Building, Xu Chenglin hid in the dark and carefully checked his own situation. He was relieved to find that he had not been marked on his body. After a few breaths, the Chinese-dressed monk and two black-clothed monks hurried out of the Wanzhen Building.
"Damn, let that guy run. ”
The monk gritted his teeth, extremely unwilling in his heart.
"Brother Xu, don't be angry, we have this person's appearance and aura in mind, as long as he appears within a radius of ten miles, we will be able to find out as soon as possible. ”
A blackfriar offered words of comfort as he surveyed his surroundings.
"Then I'm sorry for you, after the matter is completed, Xu will be grateful. ”
The monk in Chinese clothes breathed a heavy sigh of relief and sincerely hugged his fist at the two of them.
"Brother Xu is polite, I will rely on the Xu family more in the future. ”
The black-clothed monk did not take credit either, and politely returned the salute with a fist.
Xu Chenglin turned back to his usual martial artist appearance, and watched the three of them walk away while talking, and he slowly walked out of the shadows. Looking at the three people who were far away, Xu Chenglin's heart was gloomy, and the appearance of the three people was deeply imprinted in his heart.
"The Xu family, a good Xu family. I've written it down, and I'll have a chance to settle the old accounts together!"
Dispelling the haze in his heart, Xu Chenglin walked into the distance.
With a little disguise, Xu Chenglin passed through several street markets and came to a remote inn. Business in the inn was very cold, and the shopkeeper was dozing off in the hall at this time. A black jade slip fell on the counter with a snap, and the innkeeper woke up instantly. Glancing at the black jade slip, the innkeeper hurriedly got up and saluted. handed the jade slip back to Xu Chenglin, and then led him to a room with ordinary decoration.
In this world, there is light and darkness, Yuanhai City has the bright side of Wanzhen Building, and there is also a dark market organized by unknown forces in the dark. Although the dark market is an underground force, it is also inextricably linked with Wanzhenlou. Wanzhenlou consumes more than 2,000 spirit stones, and someone will secretly send out tokens of the dark market. That's right, this black jade slip is one of the tokens of the dark market.
The dark market only recognizes tokens but not people, and the location of the connection also changes from time to time. After each transaction is completed, the jade slip will show the connection point of the next dark market, and visitors can wait at the contact point. For safety reasons, each contact point will have an answering person to lead you into the dark market.
It didn't take long for a white-haired monk with a smiley mask to slowly walk into the room.
With a fist hugging at Xu Chenglin, the monk who claimed to be the messenger with a smiling face spoke coldly.
"Let the guest wait for a long time, I am the person who responds this time, and the guest can call me the smiling messenger. ”
Nodding slightly, Xu Chenglin also returned the salute with a fist.
"This dark market is really cautious, and every time you attract people, it is different. ”
It was not the first time Xu Chenglin had come to the dark market, and he remembered that the last time he came to pick up the person was a monk with a crying mask. The Wailing Face Mask calls himself the Wailing Face Messenger, a kind-hearted monk.
Ignoring Xu Chenglin's slight distraction, the smiling messenger spoke again.
"According to the rules, please show the token again to confirm the authenticity. ”
Xu Chenglin took out the black jade slip again and handed it out, and the smiling messenger took the jade slip and took out a black jade plate with his backhand. The jade plate is full of lines, and there is a square groove in the center. Reaching out and embedding the jade slip into the groove in the center of the jade plate, the two became one with a click. A stream of black brilliance poured out from the jade slip, wrapping the jade plate along the jade plate pattern. After a while, the smiling messenger took down the jade slip and handed it back to Xu Chenglin.
"Distinguished guests, please follow me. ”
The smiling messenger's tone softened slightly, and led Xu Chenglin towards the outside of the house.
The smiley messenger spoke a few words to the innkeeper, and the shopkeeper led the two of them to the back room to a wall. The smiling messenger stretched out his hand and punched a few spells on the wall, and a burst of light on the wall showed a mysterious pattern. There is a circular void in the center of the pattern, and it is clear that an important part is missing there. The messenger pressed the black jade plate against the gap in the pattern and slowly took a few steps back. There was a soft bang, and the room shook inexplicably, and a rotating silver light door appeared on the wall.
"Distinguished guest, please follow me, the destination of this teleportation is where the dark market is located. ”
Xu Chenglin nodded, and followed the smiling messenger according to his words.
The two of them stepped into the light door, and the revolving light door on the wall cracked open. The cracked fragments disappeared in the air, and the black jade disk also disappeared in a flash of black light. After a few breaths, the two came to a cave. Behind him, the revolving light door silently disappeared into the air, and a black light flew towards the smiling messenger. The black light shattered in front of him, revealing the jade plate, and the messenger put it away.
"Distinguished guests, dark market trading is secret. This mask prevents others from snooping and can be returned when you leave. ”
The smiling messenger casually took out a mask and handed it to Xu Chenglin. Taking the mask and putting it on his face, Xu Chenglin nodded slightly at the smiling messenger.
"This is where the dark market takes place, you can go along the road and I won't bother anymore. ”
The smiling messenger hugged his fist towards Xu Chenglin, took a few steps back, and his figure slowly disappeared into Xu Chenglin's eyes.
Xu Chenglin looked at the location of the cave, and could only see that this should be a cave artificially carved out somewhere underground.
"This dark market is also superb, and the place where it is held is different every time. ”
As soon as he thought about it, more thoughts came to his mind.
"The previous teleportation array did not occupy a large area, so it should be a short-distance teleportation array. This place should still be near Yuanhai City, but I don't know which direction of Yuanhai City is underground. It is not easy to pay a huge gain, the world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, and no one will be willing to pay without huge benefits. ”
Putting aside the superfluous thoughts, Xu Chenglin walked straight forward. After passing through a short road, we came to a spacious square. It is clearly underground, but the light in the square is magnificent. At the top of the square hang a stalactite, and on the stalactite there are dots of fluorescence, and it is these fluorescences that light up the light in the square. This square is transformed from a karst cave, the area is not large, only a radius of several hundred meters, of course, the square does not need to be too big. Unlike Wanzhen Building, the scale of the dark market is much smaller, and the corresponding place required is not large.
Slightly adapted to the light of the square, the whole picture of the dark market came into Xu Chenglin's eyes. The number of people present was not very large, only a few dozen. The cultivation of these people is also different, the only thing they have in common is that they are all silent, and none of them take the initiative to speak out. They also have one thing in common, that is, they cover their faces with different masks.
Xu Chenglin's arrival attracted everyone's attention, and for a while, everyone's eyes looked at him, making him feel creepy. It's no wonder that suddenly getting a group of people to look at it collectively can be uncomfortable for anyone, let alone a bunch of strangers with weird masks. Seeing that the person who came was not the host of the dark market, these people looked away again and started their own business. Xu Chenglin silently walked into the crowd and joined the waiting army. After a while, three more people entered the dark market, and they were also treated by Xu Chenglin before.
About two hours later, there was applause in the square. Along with the voice came a monk wearing a Shura mask. He was followed by six people, all of whom looked closely as smiley messengers wearing smiley masks.
"Welcome to all of you, under the ghost. The number of people present is almost there, and the portal is now closed, and the guests who did not come will have to wait for the next time. Okay, let's start trading in the dark market. ”
The voice of the ghost face is very soft, which makes people listen to it like a spring breeze, and it is very kind. When the people present heard the voice of the ghost face, some people felt close, and some people showed vigilance, and various reactions were different. The various reactions of the people at the scene were all collected in the eyes of the ghost face one by one. Oni-face nodded and didn't say anything, just remembering those who were sane one by one.
"Such a powerful spiritual guide, why did this dark market use its divine sense attack for no reason?"
Xu Chenglin, as a member of the sober group, recognized this as spiritual guidance for the first time. His face changed slightly under the mask, and his eyes scanned around without a trace. When he found that the sober people around him had no intention of making a move, Xu Chenglin also planned to make a move at any time. Xu Chenglin has come to the dark market few times, and this is the first time he has encountered this situation. And judging by the reactions of those people, it is clear that this is not the first time this has happened.
"It seems that this dark market is not a good place, and it is not uncommon to plant it here. ”
Thinking so in his heart, Xu Chenglin's vigilance was even strengthened.
Spiritual guidance is actually a kind of divine consciousness attack, although it will not cause impact damage to a person's divine consciousness, but it will cause the opponent's divine consciousness to fall into a certain state of confusion. It can affect people's emotions unconsciously, and this spiritual guidance is not insignificant.
Three high-fives, and those who were fascinated by the sound were suddenly awakened, in a trance, not knowing what had just happened.
"Okay, I should explain the rules of the dark market in advance. But I don't like to be verbose, this is a dark market, the rules are similar to the trade fair, as long as you don't go too far, I won't interfere at will. ”
Ghost Face finished speaking slowly, and then waited for the reaction of the people in the audience.
Some people nodded their heads, some were silent. Seeing that no one objected, Ghost Face nodded slightly. With two taps of his palms, a smiling messenger stepped out from behind him. The smiling messenger pressed his hand to his waist, took out a jade box from the storage bag, and handed it to Ghost Face.
"Rebuke the spirit jade, the high-grade array materials, everyone's eyes!"
The ghost face held the jade box with a shock, and the jade box opened with a snap. A piece of black transparent jade appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
