The shopkeeper who was called Li Laosan threw away the water basin in his hand and said with an unlucky look: "Someone else gave it to me cheaply. How could I know he was a sick man? Okay, okay, stop dancing there, someone is going to come out." I will sell it for the money and will deal with it as soon as possible.”
After speaking, Li Laosan stretched out his foot and kicked the cage, and cursed angrily: "You lose money!"
Gu Siyuan and Bao Zeyang had obviously never been to such a place, nor had they seen such a thing. They looked at the scene in front of them with unbearable expressions, and then their eyes were complicated.
But neither of them rashly said that they wanted to buy this slave. They both turned their heads in a tacit understanding, one looking at Gu Qingxi and the other at Baili Changfeng.
Gu Qingxi and Baili Changfeng looked at each other, their eyes understanding, and Gu Qingxi said: "There are many shops like this in the back, and there are many slaves like this, and we will definitely not be able to buy them all.
And you don’t know whether the person in the cage is a good guy or a bad guy. And what is the definition of good people and bad people? Are there any absolutes?
Maybe this person offended someone, was framed, and then died.
Maybe this man had done many evil things and was caught and sold. He deserved what he deserved.
It is also possible that this person has no love in his life and has chosen to be like this.
There are many other reasons that we may not think of. "
Gu Qingxi's voice was very calm as she stated various possibilities to the two teenagers. You can have good intentions in your heart, but most of the time you have to use them in the right place.
Gu Siyuan and Bao Zeyang looked at each other with complicated expressions.
They just felt that the slave was a little miserable, and when they heard the shopkeeper said he would sell it for money, they thought of some money to buy the slave and save him. But they never considered the possibilities.
Gu Qingxi saw the two people looking slightly thoughtful, then smiled and said: "Of course, I don't object if you want to buy it. You can first ask about the origin of this slave, or you can talk to this slave, and then It’s up to you to decide whether to buy it or not. You must also learn to judge the authenticity of other people’s words yourself.”
Gu Siyuan and Bao Zeyang nodded, and then ran forward to ask the boss about the slave's information and price.
Gu Qingxi and Baili Changfeng stood on the street and watched the two teenagers and the boss asking what they were gesturing at, and then started bargaining again. In the end, the two of them happily bought the slave, and then brought the slave to Gu Qingxi and the others.
The slave said nothing, just lowered his head and followed behind Gu Siyuan and Bao Zeyang. His hands were still tied by a special chain with restrictions on his cultivation. His hair was a mess, and his body was dripping wet, but the peculiar smell on his body was still very strong.
"What are you going to do with him?" Gu Qingxi asked.
Gu Siyuan and Bao Zeyang were stunned for a moment. In fact, they only wanted to find out the origin of this slave. If there was no problem, they would buy it first. They did not think about how to deal with it later.
"Let him go." Gu Siyuan thought for a moment and said, "We don't know his background, so we can't take him back easily."
"I agree." Bao Zeyang also said.
So, Gu Siyuan and Bao Zeyang untied the slave's chains and said, "You are free. Go find an inn and have a good rest first."
Gu Siyuan and Bao Zeyang both gave this man some spiritual stones to stay in.
The man thanked him dully, took the spirit stone and left.
Gu Siyuan looked at the man's retreating back and suddenly remembered something. He turned to look at Gu Qingxi and asked worriedly: "Aunt Gu, will he be caught and sold by bad guys again in the city?"
Gu Qingxi explained: "According to the rules of the black market, such a thing is absolutely not allowed to happen. This is the way of doing business in the black market. At least in the city, this kind of thing is not allowed to happen. But when you leave the city, you are no longer subject to the black market The rules are binding. So you don’t have to worry about this person’s safety for the time being.”
After hearing Gu Qingxi's words, Gu Siyuan and Bao Zeyang felt relieved.
Then the two looked at each other and smiled, both seemed happy about what they had just done.
Gu Qingxi remained silent. She could tell that Bao Zeyang should be similar to Gu Siyuan. The two were extremely talented in alchemy and had experience in actual combat, but they both had the same simple thoughts. Maybe they had too little experience, maybe they were allied by Zhendan. The protection is so good that the two of them should have never been exposed to the dangers of human nature, at least not too much or intuitively.
This is not a good thing.
The president of the True Alchemy Alliance should also know this, so he probably agreed to Gu Siyuan to follow her out to the black market.
Gu Qingxi and the others continued walking along the street. Gu Qingxi suddenly asked Gu Siyuan and Bao Zeyang: "The scene ahead may be even more unacceptable to you. Are you sure you want to go forward?"
Teenagers are always frivolous.
Hearing Gu Qingxi's question, Gu Siyuan and Bao Zeyang certainly would not give up and nodded in unison to keep moving forward.
But the further they walked, the uglier their faces became.
There are shops on both sides of the street selling everything, but basically all shops will display "goods" of different qualities on both sides of the door. Generally, the left side of the door is of good quality, and the right side is of poor quality. This comparison between the two allows customers to have a very intuitive comparison.
And these "goods" are basically living creatures.
There are humans, men, women, old and young, mortals and monks who are imprisoned for cultivation. Those with good quality are those who are cleanly dressed, in good spirits, and have sound limbs. Some of the poor quality ones include severed arms and legs, some with disfigured faces, and even some wounds are still new and are still oozing blood.
There are monsters, all kinds of monsters. Some are cute in appearance, white and furry, and these are the ones that nuns would like to buy as pets. They will all be hung in a conspicuous place. Those monster beasts that were not in good condition had their bodies mutilated and were randomly thrown into cages, regardless of whether they were dead or alive. Because the value of some monsters does not matter whether they are dead or alive. What humans want is some parts of their bodies for medicinal purposes or weapon refining, etc.
Some of the human slaves who were locked in cages were sold as furnaces, which were more expensive than ordinary people. There are also differences in the prices of mortals, beautiful ones are priced higher, ugly and disabled ones are priced much lower. It’s not clear what someone would buy it for, but it’s scary to think about it carefully.
Gu Siyuan and Bao Zeyang even saw a monk wanting to buy a part of a monster. The shopkeeper cut off the part from the still-living monster and gave it to the monk, and then threw the monster away again as it howled in pain. Back to the cage.
Gu Siyuan's body was trembling slightly. It was not like he had never killed monsters before. When I went to the secret realm and practiced outside, I encountered monsters, fought with monsters, killed monsters, and took parts of monster corpses to make medicine.
But he has never tortured or killed a monster, and he has never cut off any parts from a living monster.
Bao Zeyang's face was also livid. He had never seen such a scene before. Here, it is simply like purgatory.
Gu Siyuan clenched his fists and whispered: "How come there is such a place..."
Bao Zeyang also said bitterly: "This place is simply like purgatory. Why does the Cultivation Alliance allow such a place to exist?"
Gu Qingxi asked the two of them: "Do you want to buy all these slaves and monsters and let them go?"
