Volume 2 Shadow Shadow Chapter 255 Groundhog
The dwarf pretended by Shen Yun, hearing this urging voice, his face remained unchanged, and he walked into the cave with his hands behind his back.
After entering the cave, I found that in the dim cave, there was only a rickety old man in a black robe, carrying an oil lamp, waiting here.
When the rickety old man saw Shen Yun enter the cave, he didn't say much, and walked towards the cave by himself.
Seeing this, Shen Yun frowned slightly, but he didn't ask more, followed the old man, and walked towards the cave.
Several people walked for a long time in the complex labyrinthine belly of the mountain, and finally walked out of the belly of the mountain and came to the edge of a cliff.
The cliff here is very narrow, extending out of the distance of more than ten zhang of the mountain, at the end of the cliff, is a stone gate that is two zhang high and one zhang wide, square and square.
On the left and right sides of the stone gate, there is a stone sculpture of a hideous ghost, as if guarding the stone gate.
Shen Yun followed the rickety old man to the stone gate, but the old man turned around and said hoarsely.
"There's a 'ghost market' ahead, and I have other guests to receive, so take care of yourself. ”
After the rickety old man finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Yun to reply, he hobbled towards the cave where he came.
And Shen Yun waited for the old man to walk away, and couldn't help but look at the stone gate in front of him curiously.
However, no matter how Shen Yun looked at it, this stone gate was ordinary, and there were no formation fluctuations.
When you look up, you can see the bright moon hanging high and cloudless.
Looking at the foot, it was a bottomless ravine, and between the clouds and mist, there seemed to be some demon beast hidden in it.
Shen Yun looked at it for a moment, but found nothing, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
When Shen Yun stepped into the stone gate, he only felt that he had passed through an invisible barrier, and he was already on a lively street.
Sweeping around, there is no stone gate entrance, and the surroundings are densely packed, all of which are monks of different shapes.
Among them, there are many human monks who are usually seen, dressed in common clothes.
There are also many cyan, green, and black-skinned exotic people, who look strange and dress quite strangely.
Some have their hair in small braids and draped over their shoulders, some wear short clothes and short skirts, or have a few pieces of fabric hanging directly and sporadically on their bodies, covering only important parts, and some have copper rings inlaid on their noses and wear studs......
There are also many demon clans with animal heads and human bodies, such as the wolf clan with a wolf head and a human body, the snake clan with a snake head and a human body, the bird clan with a bird head and a human body, and so on.
It is said that it is a human body, but in fact, the bodies of these orcs are still covered with fur and scales, and they retain the characteristics of beasts.
It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a human body as a beast that walks upright.
It was the first time for Shen Yun to enter the "ghost market", even after listening to Shang Qiuzi's detailed explanation, he really saw such a variety of people of all races, he was still slightly stunned and surprised.
It's just that the people in these "ghost markets" are very calm, complementing each other, and they get along wonderfully.
I really don't know what this "ghost city master" can do, and he can "tame" such a multi-racial person and let them "coexist peacefully".
However, these are just appearances.
The real dark side of the "ghost market" has not yet been revealed.
In the final analysis, this is a chaotic place where all ethnic groups gather, and it is the out-and-out "Black Corner Domain", the famous "Three Regardless" zone.
After a short period of distraction, Shen Yun quickly regained his usual composure.
After all, as a disciple of the Yuanqi Sect, he was well-informed, and he had heard about Shang Qiuzi's introduction, so he had already made complete preparations in his heart, so he naturally would not lose his sense of proportion, and he would not behave strangely.
Next, Shen Yun followed the example of other pedestrians, put his hands behind his back, and wandered around the ghost market with a big grin.
After wandering around like this for a while, Shen Yun was even more surprised in his heart.
Along the way, there were seven or eight people from the Liquid Transformation Stage alone.
Among them, a tiger head and human body, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, cultivated to reach the middle stage of the liquid transformation period.
Among the various shops on the side of the road, there are all kinds of strange things on display, including all kinds of monster stumps, exotic spiritual treasures, as well as all kinds of strange ghost things, rare poultry eggs, and even some openly buy and sell slaves of various races.
It really opened Shen Yun's eyes.
However, the price of these items was high, which made Shen Yun secretly stunned and shook his head.
In this way, after wandering around for a while, Shen Yun suddenly stopped, and in a flash, he burrowed into a small alley and disappeared.
After Shen Yun got into the alley, a beast boy with a lizard head, ragged clothes, who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, suddenly came out of the crowd behind him, and ran to the mouth of the alley with a panicked look, looking around.
At this moment, Shen Yun's figure flashed, came to stand behind him, and said coldly.
"Boy, are you tired of following the old man for so long!"
When the lizard boy heard the old voice behind him, he suddenly turned around, looked panicked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said in a continuous voice.
"The immortals spare their lives, the immortals spare their lives, the immortals spare their lives......"
Shen Yun saw that the lizard boy in front of him was only a cultivator in the Qi refining period, his clothes were ragged, his body was injured, and his tone was flustered, and his forehead was bleeding.
Seeing this, Shen Yun felt a little unbearable in his heart, his tone was a little softer, and he slowly spoke.
"Stand up. ”
When the lizard boy saw Shen Yun's gentle attitude, he was suddenly stunned, and then, with a desperate look on his face, he kowtowed harder and harder.
Only then did Shen Yun remember what Shang Qiuzi had said-in this ghost market, it seems to be very peaceful, but it is respected by strength everywhere, to put it bluntly, it is to speak with his fists.
Some slaves, even those with low cultivation, have a hard time surviving in the "ghost market".
These people are similar to "goods", which are used for trading, and no one cares about their life or death.
Moreover, in the "ghost market", dragons and snakes are mixed, and brawls are repeatedly prohibited. Many bloody things also happen from time to time.
Even many guests who came here disappeared out of thin air, and no one was in charge.
Shen Yun thought of this, his face turned slightly cold, and he said in a commanding tone.
"Stand up!"
When the lizard boy heard Shen Yun's order, his body trembled involuntarily, but he stood up according to his words, bowing his head and not daring to speak.
Shen Yun looked like this from the lizard boy in front of him, and asked lightly.
"Why are you following me?"
The lizard boy listened to the words of the dwarf in front of him, knelt down again, and replied urgently while kowtowing.
"Shangxian, I'...... , I am a 'groundhog' in the 'ghost market', and I earn some spirit stones by being a guide for others. I saw that the immortal chief seemed to be the first time I came to the 'ghost market', so I wanted to follow the immortal chief around and lead the way for the immortal chief. ”
When Shen Yun heard this, he was slightly stunned, and looked up and down a few times at the lizard boy in front of him.
It seems that this "groundhog" is similar to the "pigtail" in Ningdu.
It's just that such a low-cultivation orc boy can see that he is a newcomer to the "ghost market", and it seems that his disguise is indeed a lot worse.
It's just that with such a "groundhog" by his side, doesn't he make it clear that he is a newcomer to the "ghost market".
However, having said that, if you leave this lizard boy behind and forcibly disguise yourself as a regular visitor to the "ghost market", I am afraid that you will be seen through at a glance, and it will look suspicious.
And with this "groundhog" leading the way, it is much easier to act on your own.
Thinking of this, Shen Yun stretched out his hand and grabbed it, lifted the "groundhog" that was kowtowing to himself, put it on the ground again, and said in a deep voice.
"Well, you're pretty smart. Next, it's up to you to show me the way and take a turn in this 'ghost market'. ”
When the lizard boy heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of joy, and he kept saluting the dwarf in front of him.
Seeing this young man's attitude, Shen Yun sighed in his heart, and his right hand rushed at his forehead, and a green light flew out and disappeared into the lizard boy's forehead.
But it was a pure wood attribute aura.
The lizard boy only felt that his body was warm, and the injuries on his forehead and body were rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even his cultivation had faintly increased.
In the blink of an eye, the lizard boy had broken through to a mid-level qi refiner, and was even faintly rising.
He was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
When he came back to his senses and saw Shen Yun who had already walked away, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly followed.
