Chapter 26: The Grey Market
The mountain peak and earth where the Netherworld Dao is located, there is one main vein, seven branch veins, scattered veins, and countless them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Among them, a small mountain peak, nestled in an inconspicuous corner.
There are many small caves on the peak, and from a distance, it looks like a giant beehive.
This mountain, no flowers and no grass, the mountain is covered with dark gray rocks, desolate, silent, uninhabited, this is a very ordinary small mountain, thousands of miles of netherworld mountains and rivers, I don't know how much.
But this silence is only superficial, and if one listens carefully here, one will find many dissonances.
For example, there is a strong aura here, and for example, the mountain peaks here, there has never been a free-range spirit beast from the Netherworld Dao that dares to stop, and even if there is, it will leave here in a short time.
Every day, there are people who mysteriously come to this small mountain and quickly disappear into one of the caves scattered up and down the mountain.
If you can identify them, you will find that most of these people are disciples of the Netherworld, most of them are miscellaneous servants and registered disciples of the outer gate, followed by the disciples of the true lineage, and the disciples of the inner gate at the higher level are the rarest.
These disciples gathered here for something that could not be put into the light.
They exchanged, bought, and sold their income in the door here, and every day there would be countless business transactions between immortal cultivators here, and the number of spirit beads, herbs, and treasures circulating here was much higher than that of the [Reward Star Treasure Hall] in the inner gate.
And the latter is the place designated by the Netherworld Dao, where disciples can communicate with each other.
Therefore, there is no light here, although in the Netherworld, many high-level people know where it is, but it is one thing to secretly acquiesce, and whether it can be placed on the table is another matter.
This is a place hidden in the gray area, and countless Netherworld Dao disciples have aptly named it, Grey Market!
At this moment, at the foot of this peak, a short boy was standing outside a bottomless cave, looking down, making some strange movements from time to time, or throwing something downward, or making a high sound.
"Hmph, this person is too unreliable to introduce this kind of entrance to me!" he frowned, looking a little unnatural, "Such a depth, if I am not careful, it will be over!"
After staring at the entrance of the cave for a while, the short young man seemed to have made up his mind, and said secretly: "I have this knife, which can be firmly nailed to the rock wall, and I can't die if I fall!"
The boy gritted his teeth, and then didn't do anything to protect himself, just jumped into the hole, and a weightless feeling of falling downward immediately came, making the boy's face more and more pale, and he clenched the blood-colored long knife in his hand tightly, as if it would bring him some safety.
Fortunately, this feeling did not last long, almost a dozen breaths, and with a dazzling beam of light, "bang!", the boy slammed into a huge black stone platform.
The short boy frowned slightly, stood up from the stone platform, and found that he was now at the entrance of a fang market, under this stone platform made of black stone, it was a pass to enter this fang market, and there were two disciples in black robes guarding it outside.
One of the disciples, seeing the appearance of the short boy, knew that this person was probably coming here for the first time, so he immediately said, "The first time you came here?"
After the young man nodded, the disciple said again: "Since you are here for the first time, whether you know the rules here or not, I want to reiterate it to you!"
First of all, it is not allowed to inquire about the origin of every item of goods circulating here!
Secondly, it is not allowed to inquire about the origin of each of the people who trade here!
In the end, no matter what grievances and grievances you have with people in this market, you are not allowed to make trouble, otherwise you will be killed by the law enforcement team on the spot! As for leaving this market, it is your business to make trouble!
There are only these three points that you have to abide by here, do you understand?" the disciple said slowly, and at the end, he stared at the short boy in front of him, and his tone was implied to threaten.
The little boy nodded, indicating that he understood.
The black-robed disciple shook his head and threw a wide wide-sleeved black robe to the young man in front of him before saying, "Then you can go in." ”
..................................................................
Most of the shops in this city are remodeled on the basis of some caves, so their style is relatively dark and cold, and there is a breath of people in the demon path everywhere.
Countless disciples dressed in black robes wandered between these shops, and some of them were unwilling to sell the materials they brought, so they set up stalls on the road and started a business without roots.
Du Ming's short figure is in the vast flow of people, constantly walking, looking around, walking, unconsciously, understanding the price, rules, goods here, at the same time, is also seeing all kinds of strange treasures, increasing his own knowledge.
However, Du Ming's seemingly casual movement contains a strong sense of purpose, he is very concerned about some rare monsters and ghost objects between his wanderings, and he also stops from time to time to discuss something with the stall owner.
After about two or three hours of understanding, Du Ming finally stopped in front of a shop that specialized in selling all kinds of rare materials.
Du Ming only glanced at the store slightly, and then turned in.
From the outside, the shop looks very shabby, but from the inside, it is...... It looks even more dilapidated, and there are no bright spots in the entire store, except for those minerals, herbs, and monster skins that seem to be precious and abnormal.
Du Ming entered the store, and didn't say anything, directly in front of a shelf that seemed to be the most messy, and looked carefully, his trip mainly had two purposes!
First, he entered the realm of Qi refining, and soon after, he would begin to cultivate the [Great Hongmeng Star Catalog], the requirements of this spell for cultivators can be said to be very harsh, even if Du Ming is very familiar with the world recorded in this spell, and the species composition there, but he can't guarantee that he will definitely be able to cultivate it to a fruition.
Therefore, in order to ensure that he can cultivate it successfully, Du Ming must first make a few insurances for himself.
Second, his newly subdued second-order ghost creature [Ghost Cold Python] can be said to have reached the edge of advancement, although Du Ming made a lot of preparations for this when he was in the [Little Yellow Spring Realm], and later obtained a lot of precious treasures through the secret calculations of the trial boys.
But this is still not enough, because if he can, Du Ming does not want this snake-shaped ghost thing he named [Chi You] to be given up by him as an insignificant consumable in the future, after all, it is the first ghost thing that Du Ming has since he came here, and he hopes to make it do more.
If this ghost can be able to give birth to spiritual intelligence, it can undoubtedly be of greater help to Du Ming, and it just so happens that Du Ming knows such a method that can open up low-level wisdom for low-level ghost things.
However, this requires more preparation!
Du Ming quietly looked around the shop, looking at them one by one, observing, guessing, and carefully comparing the various materials in the store.
After about a few sticks of incense, Du Ming slowly walked to the counter of the store.
He was on the counter, with a few gentle tugs.
"Who!"
"I don't know if I'm sleeping soundly!"
"You're blind!"
The corners of Du Ming's eyes twitched slightly, and with the abuse of this rough voice, a burly and tall man with a beard turned out from behind the counter.
"Boy, say! It's not you!"
..............................................................................
Not long ago, I heard someone say the true meaning of the word "Chiyou", and I suddenly felt that the image of its ancient fierce god collapsed in my heart!
It turns out that the "Chi" of "Chi You" is a fake word, the same as "idiot", that is, the meaning of idiot, "Chi You" was originally called "Da You", and the "Chi" in his name was deliberately called so by the Yellow Emperor in order to show his contempt and ridicule all kinds of hatred......
I feel that the three views I have formed over the years have all collapsed at that moment......
