See the fastest updates

When the day was approaching, the night was dark and the waves were high on the river, and more than a dozen boats successively dropped their anchors but did not dock, allowing the boats to follow the waves in the middle of the river.

The sails of each ship are painted with special insignia that only fellow believers can understand. Each kind of emblem represents the power of the underworld of a certain party or the outer domain of a certain demon gate.

But this does not mean that there will not be righteous people on the black market in Jiangzhou, they just hide their identities.

As he walked towards the river, Bu Operator asked, "Master, have you seen a black emblem on a red background and a sail embroidered with two demon eagles?"

Diao Xiaosi looked over one by one, and sure enough, he saw a double-decker boat floating on the river like a flock of chickens, with two black eagles painted on the blood-red sails, so he replied: "Yes, it looks like the biggest ship tonight." ”

Bu Operator said: "The owner behind it is the Tangmen of Shuzhong, but all the people who show up are disciples of the side branches. Most of the poisons used by the old decay in the Hundred Tigers Thousand Ge Array are purchased from here, and of course, sometimes I will sell some Dao talismans to them. More than half of what we are going to buy tonight will fall on the heads of these eagle boats. ”

Diao Xiaosi was secretly taken aback, and immediately thought: "If Lao Tzu shows Tang Xiaosan's signboard, will the Double Eagle Boat give more discounts?"

"Let's go. Bu Operator's right hand was raised lightly, and the black bamboo cane disappeared into his cuffs.

Diao Xiaosi has long been surprised by the old blind man's funny behavior, and secretly guesses that he must have hidden things like storage magic treasures in his cuffs, such as Sumeru mustard seeds to hold Daqian.

The two walked slowly to the river beach, Diao Xiaosi looked at the location of the twin eagle boats, six or seven zhang away from himself, just wanted to ask the old blind man if he wanted to build a wooden plank to cross the river with a reed, and suddenly his arm was tightened and was grabbed by the divination operator, and a burst of Ling Bo walked on the river surface on the waves, and then took off and got on the deck of the double eagle boat.

Diao Xiaosi was speechless, stretched out two fingers and shook them twice in front of the divination operator, and asked, "What is this?"

Bu Operator shook off his hand and said lightly: "The master is very second, this is well known, but there is no need to publicize it everywhere. ”

"You baba!" Diao Xiaosi retracted his hand stupidly, and followed the old blind man into the cabin on the ground floor.

There were more than a dozen blue fireworks floating in the cabin, and people didn't feel the slightest heat when they passed below.

In the bulkheads on the left and right, there is a shelf ten feet long and ten feet high. Naturally, the display on the shelves is not a dazzling array of jade antiques, but all kinds of refining materials, pills, and poisons...... Even the air-dried viscera, fur and inner dan of the demonic beast are simply everything to see Diao Xiaosi's eyes.

As for all kinds of precious immortal soldiers, magic treasures, Dao runes, secret weapons, etc., they all had to be traded in the cabin on the second floor.

Perhaps because the market had just opened, in addition to Diao Xiaosi and Bu Operator, there were only four or five people in the cabin looking at the goods, all of whom were wearing masks and could not identify themselves.

Not only that, but the people on the Twin Eagle Boats also wore masks. However, on the cheeks of the mask, each of them painted a demon eagle in black ink to distinguish A, B, C, and D.

There were four of them, standing quietly against the bulkhead, neither silent nor shouting, as if they were not worried that someone would rob the valuables displayed on the shelves.

Suddenly, a guest walked to the corner, picked up an ink pen, wrote a few lines on the paper, and handed it to one of the eagle-faced men.

The eagle-faced man glanced at the contents of the paper, and retracted his left hand into his cuff and reached in front of the guest.

The guest also tucked his right hand into his sleeve, and then took the Hawkface's outstretched left hand.

Diao Xiaosi was puzzled: "Apprentice, what are these two secretly doing holding hands?"

Bu Operator replied, "They're trading." The customer writes down the things he wants to buy on a piece of paper, and then the two parties negotiate the price in sign language, and after the negotiation is completed, one hand pays and the other hand delivers. ”

As he spoke, the guest withdrew his hand, nodded to the hawk-faced man, walked over to the shelf, picked up a string of ice cores and a small packet of fire toad saliva, and walked out of the cabin.

Diao Xiaosi blinked and said, "Why didn't this guy pay?

These days, he has no income from the Sojourn Club Dart Bureau, but Geng Nanyi apologized for the "uneven distribution of spoils" and secretly gave Diao Xiao 4,100 taels of silver. Now this silver ticket is in his arms, but he doesn't know what this money can buy on the Double Eagle Boat.

Although all the goods are not priced, Diao Xiaosi knows at a glance that the things here are worth a lot of money, ranging from a few hundred taels to thousands of taels, or even a treasure worth tens of thousands of taels, and the silver ticket hidden in his pocket is really trivial.

As soon as he thought of this, he became more and more resentful of the thief, if he could hold 10,000 taels of silver in hand at this moment, he would not be poor and white when he went to the black market.

Seeing that the fortune operator shook his head and said: "Impossible, if you want to owe money here, unless you send your head." ”

Diao Xiaosi was disappointed, and said in his heart: "Since this is the case, Lao Tzu can only see if the apprentice understands whether he understands or not." ”

Bu Operator said: "You might as well wander around here and see if there is anything you want to use." ”

Diao Xiaosi walked to the shelves on the left. The shelves were divided into six layers, and were divided into small compartments of different sizes by partitions, in which all kinds of strange things were placed.

Underneath these items, there is a small piece of paper with a brief description of the name of the goods and their characteristics and functions.

Soon, Diao Xiaosi found what he wanted.

It was a small pale blue translucent stone, shaped like a crystal, and a few rays of dark red silk light could be faintly visible on the surface of the fireworks, shining under the light of the fireworks overhead.

Look at the small paper below, it reads: "Thirty years of Rosewood Crystal, from the Gaochang Kingdom of the Western Regions, belongs to the yin and hidden wood spirit qi, and is mostly used for spiritual seal carving." ”

Diao Xiaosi's heart was pounding, staring at the more than 30 pieces of locust wood crystal on the shelf, thinking about how to inspire the old blind man.

He glanced at the shelves next door, and saw several transparent glass bottles on the shelves next door, which contained yellow and clear thick juice.

Diao Xiaosi secretly rejoiced: "Each bottle of golden egg worm juice is only a maximum of one, two, two or three dollars, and I am afraid that the sum of several bottles is less than one or two." If the price is not outrageous, Lao Tzu can afford it. ”

Finally, he was sober-minded and did not benefit from the fact that he understood that playing tricks and abduction in such a place was tantamount to suicide, unless he was a top master of forgetfulness and Mahayana, otherwise his death would definitely be miserable.

Thinking of this, Diao Xiaosi turned his head to look for the fortune operator, and just saw him writing a bill of goods in the corner of the wall, and was about to hand it to the eagle-faced man.

Diao Xiaosi immediately came over, but unfortunately the list had been put away by the eagle-faced man, he looked at the fortune operator with his eyes, but he felt that the hundred claws scratched his heart but dared to talk nonsense, so he had to endure it and not ask.

After a moment, Bu Operator retracted his hand and said, "There are still three things missing, we will look for them on other ships later." ”

Diao Xiaosi was overjoyed and said: "How embarrassing is this, how can there be a reason for the master to let the disciple spend money?"

Bu Operator smiled slightly, and just thought that Diao Xiaosi had finally found out his conscience, but he heard this kid seem to say to himself: "Okay, these money rights are used as bundles handed over by apprentices, so I don't owe him." ”

The smile on the corner of Bu Operator's mouth instantly petrified, but he heard Diao Xiaosi continue: "As for when the bundle of repairs will be handed over next month, the teacher will make arrangements according to the situation." ”

Bu Operator was completely speechless, and put his tuition fees into his sleeve one by one.

Just as he was about to take the bottles of golden egg worm juice into his pocket, he suddenly heard a young man outside the cabin door say in a long voice: "This friend, you make a price, I want the golden egg worm juice." ”

Diao Xiaosi didn't care about 3721 when he heard this, and grabbed a few bottles of golden egg worm juice in front of the divination operator, and then turned around and looked at the door.

I saw four black-clothed people walking in outside the door, the person who spoke was wearing a silver mask, and his eyes were full of arrogance, as if he was afraid that others would not know his superior status.

Standing next to the silver-faced man was a short, black-clad man with eyes shining and an extraordinary bearing, and at first glance he knew that he was a character who was not easy to mess with.

The other two men in black were ordinary, each carrying a magic axe behind them.

Bu Operator replied indifferently: "Not for sale." ”

The silver-faced man was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "What if this son pays a high price, three thousand taels and one bottles, how about it?"

Diao Xiaosi smiled and said, "If it's three thousand taels of gold, I'll reluctantly sell you a bottle, how about it?"

The silver-faced man said coldly, "Stinky boy, you think I'm a fool?"

The companion beside him interjected: "Mo Wanxiong, the deputy gang leader of the Xia Soap Yi Gang, this is the Xu Shao gang leader of our gang. We're here for the Golden Egg Juice this time, and we don't want to be the first to be taken by the two. If you are willing to resell a few bottles, Mo is grateful!"

In his mind, since he reported the trade name, the other party should sell some face. After all, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the soapy gang is the first gang in Jiangzhou, known as the hundreds of boats and thousands of people under its command who have dominated the water for more than 30 years.

Unexpectedly, Diao Xiaosi shook his head and said, "What kind of soapy gang, Lao Tzu has never heard of it." ”

Xu Shao's gang leader said angrily: "Boy, do you dare not know how to lift?!"

Suddenly, an eagle-faced man whispered, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the place to do business. ”

Xu Shao's gang leader snorted coldly and was just about to speak, Mo Wanxiong hurriedly whispered a few words in his ear, as if to persuade him not to offend Shuangyingfang, the backer behind the family is the Tangmen in Shuzhong that makes people talk about the tiger, and more is better than less.

Xu Shao's gang leader unwillingly glared at Diao Xiaosi and Bu Operator, and sneered: "The green mountains don't change, the green water flows forever, you wait for me!"

Diao Xiaosi has a fortune operator by his side, that is a ready-made gold medal bodyguard, how can he be afraid of a little young master of the soapy gang? Just because this is on the Double Eagle Boat, he still has some concerns.

At that moment, Ha Luha laughed and said: "Don't take off your mask and pee in the river to take care of yourself, young helper?Hmph, what's the difference with a wild dog on the side of the road?
