Yuan Xu nodded and said that he had indeed heard some news recently. No one in the Yaoyuetai Jianghu knew about it, and their sect's treasure was no secret. At that time, their first generation master had not established a rule that disciples were not allowed to go down the mountain, nor did they prohibit other Jianghu guests from going up the mountain to challenge.
Ye Yujing, the first generation head master, relied on Yue Xi Kung and Wu Hua to defeat countless challengers and compete in martial arts. Even though she was not invincible, the righteous masters who fought against her did not fight to death. She attacks with her purpose, so there are more draws.
Challengers who were not experts really couldn't beat her, so Yaoyuetai became a new and powerful sect.
There is no shortage of gossip in the world. Ye Yujing has great martial arts skills, is young and beautiful, and her life experience is a mystery. There are more and more rumors about her.
Not to mention anything else, just her beauty is enough for people to talk about for days. As the saying goes, there are many disputes in front of a widow. When it comes to Ye Yujing, the disputes are doubled.
People in the world only know that she is a widow, and her husband's body is frozen in the ice cave under the Yaoyue platform.
Her beauty was on par with Liu Yanyan's, and the Yaoyuetai did not have a closed mountain gate back then, so the number of Jianghu people who came to challenge her was far less than the number of courtships.
Every day, people go to the square in front of the sect to confess their love. There are piano players, flute players, and sword dancers. They treat the square as a community park, playing, playing, singing, and dancing.
Some people set off fireworks in the mountains to please her, almost causing a forest fire.
The leader of the evil sect at that time was Huotongdian. All their people were born with strange eyes. The boss had one blue and one gold eye, and he could see things that others could not see since he was a child.
Of course, what he saw was not a ghost, but something that happened at a certain time. His parents sold him to a wandering warlock, and the warlock called him Peeping Heaven Eyes or Peeping Heaven Children.
He helped the warlock make a lot of money. In the end, the warlock was still not satisfied and wanted to dig out his eyes and replace them for himself.
At that time, Guitian Tong was already sixteen years old and was no longer a child at the mercy of others. He killed the warlock and established his own sect, which specialized in collecting people with mutated eyes and teaching them the art of confusing eyes.
It is to use your eyes to confuse and control others, which can also be said to be hypnosis.
The head of Huotong Hall, this is what I call him, because no one knows what the disciples of the sect called him at that time.
In short, the palace chief took a fancy to Ye Yujing when he competed with her, and he didn't even use the magic trick on her, insisting on free love.
He pursued Ye Yujing, and he was the one who set off the fireworks in the forest.
The pursuers seriously disrupted Yao Yuetai's normal life and practice order.
Ye Yujing had no choice but to issue another order to set up a maze at the foot of Yaoyuetai Mountain. Uninvited visitors were not allowed to enter.
In the early days of Yao Yuetai, disciples were allowed to get married.
There were just a few things that happened that were harmful to the interests of the sect, and the losses were serious, both financially and in terms of reputation.
It was then that the head of the sect issued an order that disciples of the sect were not allowed to go down the mountain or get married.
Is it necessary for this order to keep pace with the times?
At present, there is no such thing. The order at that time was just a new sect rule.
The current Yaoyuetai disciples cannot go down the mountain without this order.
Although the sect is closed, legends about it have been passed down from generation to generation in the world.
"Do you know where things are auctioned?" I asked.
"In Dihuo Tower, it is the largest auction house in the ghost market. We only auction rare treasures, regardless of their provenance."
"Can we go in?"
"Don't worry, young lady. Whatever you want to do in the ghost market, my subordinates can help you do it."
"Oh." I expressed my surprise but didn't say anything else.
Yuan Xu just smiled and lowered his head without explaining much.
There was a torch on the stone wall of the cave. Yuan Xu took out a pill and took it without giving it to me.
I looked at him, and he smiled again and said, "Young master said, you are immune to all poisons."
Yunzhou actually told Yuan Xu that I was invulnerable to all poisons. I looked at the person in front of me again. He didn't hide or dodge, and looked at me calmly and gently.
"It seems he trusts you."
"You can trust me too."
The fire in the cave ignited itself, illuminating the entire passage.
There is indeed something wrong with the torches. The gases they release when burning are poisonous.
People from the ghost market and those who are familiar with the ghost market will naturally bring antidote pills with them when they come.
There are only passers-by and accidental intruders left, and it seems that the ghost market does not welcome them.
When we reached the end of the passage, the torches behind us were extinguished in order, just like modern sensor lights.
Yuan Xu explained that these torches were controlled by someone behind the scenes, and were children in the ghost market who specialized in making money as lantern boys.
At the end of the passage is a waterway. We took a boat and continued to sail deeper into the cave.
There is nothing wrong with this place except that it is dark and cold. There are luminous jellyfish swimming in groups underwater. At first glance, it is a bit scary, but my power can sense underwater life, so I will not be scared. .
When Yuan Xu saw this, he flattered me and praised me for being well-informed.
Apparently, he didn't know I had powers.
At the end of the waterway is the pier. There are many people gathered at the pier, including street vendors, tour guides, and hotel guys...
Different from the market on the ground, these people solicit business and do not shout loudly. Instead, they wait for people to approach, and then they move up and talk quietly.
Therefore, there are obviously many people along the pier, but it is not noisy at all.
Everyone was whispering, and Yuan Xu explained that the Ghost King likes to be quiet and hates noise. If you want to live under him, you have to abide by his rules.
The ghost market does not get its name because there are ghosts or because people are sneaky when trading.
It's called Ghost City because the 'mayor' here is called Wang Gui.
Ghost City is actually the abbreviation of the underground city built by Wang Gui.
It's not spooky or suspenseful at all, it's very straightforward.
It's just that the people living here felt that calling the mayor by his first name was not respectful enough, so they started calling him the Ghost King.
They felt that they were ghosts living underground and finally had a place to live.
But Wang Gui himself didn't think so when he built this city.
Yuan Xu said that he had some friendship with Wang Gui and knew the legendary ghost king very well.
To put it more closely, Wang Gui is Yuan Xu's uncle, and Yuan Xu's father and Wang Gui are brothers.
Yuan Xu's parents died early, and Wang Gui always cared about his nephew.
No wonder he dared to say that whatever I wanted to do in the ghost market, he could help me achieve it.
Wang Gui has no children, so he treats Yuan Xu as his son.
The token hanging on Yuan Xu's waist should be a very special symbol.
People on the dock also knew him and would nod when they saw him. No one came over to sell goods.
I still wear makeup when I go out, and now I look like a plain-looking middle-aged woman.
No one who knew Yuan Xu came to ask who I was.
We successfully entered the Ghost Market Street. He said that it was not the time for the auction house to open yet, so he took me to the market first.
The ghost market is not only a market where goods are traded, it is also a city.
Yuan Xu also said that as long as you can afford it, you can eat things here that are not available outside.
"Convenience?" I said casually.
"What kind of noodles?" Yuan Xu wanted to confirm.
"Forget it, I don't have any interest in eating." I haven't eaten anything good either. If you want to be a foodie who likes delicious food, then Yun Zhou is the one.
