Ding Ning and Shen Yi walked side by side.

In front of them, many shacks were stacked on top of each other, and it was already a fish market.

"Actually, you can't see anything in the fish market now. Ding Ning turned his head to look at Shen Yi and said without any disguise: "Even if it is an underground business, there are very few businesses that open in the New Year. ”

Shen Yi said: "It's okay, there is a quiet scenery, and there is a lively scenery." ”

Ding Ning turned his head a little strangely, looked at the young man in Guanzhong, and said, "It doesn't seem that this should be the words of someone of your character." ”

Shen Yi laughed and said: "Senior brother is really discerning, this is indeed not what I said, it is a famous quote said by my uncle, and there are a few sentences in the future, I really want to see the scenery of a place, not only in quiet times, when it is lively, but also in four seasons, I really want to see a friend, not only when I am proud, but also when I am frustrated, when I am down, when I am in danger." ”

can be said to be a "famous saying", the person who spoke must be extremely famous, so Ding Ning, who had already entered the fish market, asked, "Who is your uncle?"

Shen Yi said: "My uncle is Shen Huai. ”

Ding Ning was slightly stunned: "One of the five swords in Guanzhong?"

Shen Yi nodded.

Ding Ning glanced at him, "I didn't expect him to be your uncle, so why don't you ask him to learn swords?"

Guanzhong is eight hundred miles away from Pingchuan, there are many swordsmen, and it can be recognized as one of the five most powerful swords, and Shen Huai's fame is naturally great.

Shen Yi whispered with some shame: "My sword itself was taught by him personally. ”

Ding Ning was stunned and said, "I'm sorry." ”

Shen Yi shook his head and said, "The same sword scripture creates different cultivators, and my uncle told me that the key to cultivation lies in the path chosen by one. ”

Ding Ning nodded and said, "What he said is right, sometimes the horizon determines the height." ”

"I should have come to Changling early, otherwise I would have thought that there is such a unique place in the world. Shen Yi had already followed Ding Ning into the fish market, he looked at the surrounding streets and alleys that seemed to be immersed in the ghost domain, looked at the lanterns faintly like ghost fire in the shadows, and asked curiously and softly: "There is really a trade in everything here, including some forbidden items, can even I buy it?"

Ding Ning glanced at him and said, "You can buy it, but you have to go through some middlemen here." ”

Shen Yi, who knew that there must be many ways to do this, was even more curious and asked, "Then can I participate in some underground auctions or something like that?"

"Absolutely. Ding Ning said: "But you have to get the trust of those intermediaries, as your status as a child of the huge rich in Guanzhong, if you want to participate, there should be no problem." It's just that when you really want to buy something, you still have to make a bid from a middleman. Otherwise, many people will know who will end up in the hands of things, and it will bring disaster. ”

Shen Yi said sincerely: "If you have a chance, you really want to take a look, maybe there will be something suitable." ”

The mutton shop in the western corner sells mutton on the outside, but on the inside it is traffickers, selling children from remote places or even brought back from other places. The tailor shop in the east specializes in the talisman business of the Great Chu Dynasty. The three stilted buildings near the bottom of the pond are the dens of overseas thieves. If you want to participate in an underground auction with all kinds of cultivators' items, you have to find Xue Mazi, who sells tung oil, or Lao Zhoutou, who sells salted fish.

Ding Ning led Shen Yi to the deepest part of the fish market, which is also the bottom of the fish market, and at the same time, slowly explained to him the many ways in the fish market.

Shen Yi listened more and more with relish, but he didn't notice that Ding Ning's speech was becoming slower and slower.

"Whatever you hear me say, there should be no obvious change in your expression, just listen to me and you chatting, and don't be noticed in any way. Suddenly, Ding Ning's words came into his ears.

Because of the slow speed of speech, Shen Yi already had enough time to react, and his heart was suddenly shocked, but he controlled his emotions very well, and asked softly, "What?"

Today, Li Ding Ning came to the fish market just to greet the lonely old woman and talk to her, but just now, he already felt a strange and dangerous aura.

"Someone should want to assassinate me, and if they dare to do it in the fish market, they will be a real outlaw, so this matter will involve you all. Ding Ning said calmly and slowly: "Although I don't know who it is, my life and your life are now in your hands, so you must listen carefully and remember every word of mine next, and you can't make any mistakes." ”

Looking at the unusually calm streets and alleys around him, Shen Yi, who couldn't feel any murderous intentions, became more and more shocked in his heart, but the solemnity contained in Ding Ning's calm words made him sure that this was not a joke.

"You say, I'll do it. He nodded and whispered.

Ding Ning lowered his voice, hung his head slightly, and even his lips were hidden in the shadows: "Wait a minute, I will take you past several shops, the owners of those shops are not ordinary people, and they are all related to the owners of this fish market." I just don't know which of those shops is open now, and when which one will open, you will enter which, and after walking in, you will start counting the time, and after fifty breaths, you will tell the owner of the shop as fast as you can that someone is going to kill someone in the fish market, and the location is at the ghost wharf. ”

Shen Yi naturally didn't understand why Ding Ning wanted him to calculate the time, but he still memorized every word carefully, and at the same time repeated softly and simply: "Enter the store, time, fifty breaths, ask for help, and the ghost is sad about the dock." ”

Ding Ning nodded calmly and said, "Just remember, what I say to you next will be ordinary chatter." ”

Shen Yi glanced at him and said, "I understand." ”

......

Ding Ning continued to lead the way, walking towards the direction of the stilted building where the old woman was.

He also continued to talk about the way in the fish market, but his heart was full of unspeakable anger and cold emotions.

As he and the eldest grandson Qianxue said, he didn't want to involve the merchant lady again because of some old things, and he didn't want to use any of her power, but today he was just visiting the old man, and in such a New Year, someone forced him to borrow the power of the fish market.

Who the hell is it?

His heart became more and more cold and angry, but his thoughts became more and more active, and he thought more and more about the next things.

Most of the ponds in the lowest part of the fish market are hidden by the roofs of the shacks, so there is not much snow falling, and only two knuckles thick ice has formed on the water.

Two wisps of ghostly fire suddenly appeared in the depths of Ding Ning's calm eyes, and his gaze fell on the remnant sword on his waist again.

At this time, he had already arrived near the shops he and Shen Yi had mentioned.

Only one of those shops was open at the moment, and there was fire and the smell of people inside.

And Ding Ning knew that the owner of that shop was in the arms business, and there were many good swords in his stilted building.

Li Daoji's last flower remnant sword that day was purchased there.

People who have nothing to do with it have something to do with this remnant sword, so it really seems that there are countless grievances involved in fate, and this remnant sword seems to be like a key to open fate, sealed here, and has been waiting for him for many years.

"That shop sells swords, you don't need any middleman to go in alone, the owner of the shop has a lot of good swords in his hands that are not as good as many of Changling's cultivation places, you can go and take a look, wait for me here." I'll meet you here after the New Year's greetings. Ding Ning clicked on the shop, raised his head and looked at Shen Yi calmly and said.

Of course, Shen Yi understood that Ding Ning's words were just "idle talk", and of course he couldn't wait for Ding Ning to come back here to meet him, so he nodded a little harder, and said, "Okay, since this one is only open, I'll go shopping around this one." ”

Ding Ning smiled slightly, and left Shen Yi here to continue walking.

Shen Yi looked at him with a little more respect in his eyes, he could still show such a smile at such a critical moment, he was really inferior.

......

Ding Ning's brows frowned imperceptibly, the ghostly wharf in front of him was located under several stilted buildings piled up with dry firewood, there were no shops nearby, and the sight was obscured, it was really the best assassination location on this route, if he changed the position, he would also choose to assassinate someone, and he would choose to do it in that place.

At this moment, the smells he felt were all moving towards that place, which showed that these people were indeed here to deal with themselves and not to have any plans against Shen Yi.

He took a deep breath, and the countless "little silkworms" in his body also woke up with his breath, surging silently in his body.

Shen Yi was as calm as possible, but after pushing the door and entering the store, his breathing still became a little short.

"Huh?"

The man with the hair on the couch inside seemed to sense Shen Yi's strangeness instantly, and let out a soft snort.

Shen Yi thought of Ding Ning's warning, and thought that he couldn't go wrong early, so he immediately took a deep breath and began to calculate the time in his heart, and said at the same time: "I am from the Shen family in Guanzhong, and I heard that you have many good swords here. ”

The man with the hair who couldn't see his face clearly in the darkness looked at him coldly, but he didn't say much, and moved his body back.

As the blanket draped over his body was lifted, revealing the black sword box below, Shen Yi also saw that he had no feet.

His feet were broken at the knees!

Seeing such a picture, Shen Yi could no longer control his emotions, and involuntarily let out a low exclamation: "Your legs and feet are inconvenient. What a good thing that is!"

No feet has nothing to do with selling swords, Shen Yi's exclamation at this time was also extremely abrupt, but the man with the hair flashed violently, but instead lowered his voice and said quietly: "Something happened?"
