Tonight is destined to be no ordinary night. All the streets and alleys in the capital are lit up with lights. Fireworks and salutes are fired continuously on the streets. The birthday of the greatest man in this country is celebrated amidst bursts of firecrackers. The streets of the capital are as bright as day, and Chinese New Year is no different!
At this time, a figure quietly walked out of an inconspicuous shop. Li Hanrui chased him outside and stopped, turning to look at Liu Bo.
"What does this shop do?" Liu Bo looked at it and saw three big words written on the plaque above the door: "Forgetting the Dust Valley!"
】Liu Bo knew instantly
"Second Young Master, this is the entrance to the Ghost Market in the capital!"
"Ghost market? Ghost markets really exist?" Li Hanrui asked in disbelief. Although he had always heard of ghost markets, Li Hanrui had never actually seen one!
"It's not wrong, it's right here!" Liu Bo said with certainty.
"Then let's go in and see what this ghost market is like?" Li Hanrui said and was about to go in, but was stopped by Liu Bo.
"Second Young Master, we can't get in!"
"Why?"
"We don't have a token to enter the ghost market, so if we go there, it will be in vain. The ghost market has its own rules, and we can't enter at all!"
"Then I'll fight in!" Liu Bo immediately shook his head.
"I heard that there are many masters in the ghost market, and there are also criminal thieves and ocean robbers! I'm afraid just us people can't do it. Besides, if we do it, we will scare the snake!" When Li Hanrui heard this, he felt anxious. He could find out something at a glance. , I really can’t bear to watch it leave like this!
Li Hanrui suddenly thought of someone
"Liu Bo, you take people to guard the surroundings first, and I'll go find someone!"
"Yes!" Li Hanrui hurriedly turned around and left, mounted his horse, and ran straight to the west. A quarter of an hour later, he arrived in front of a mansion. He looked up and saw four large lanterns connected to the door. A plaque on the door read [ Wangfu] two big characters!
Li Hanrui got off his horse and came to the door. There were two guards standing at the door. When he saw that Li Hanrui was coming, they were all acquaintances.
"Second General, you are here!" Li Hanrui nodded very politely.
"Please go ahead. My brother will call me and tell me that I am in an emergency!"
"Yes! Wait a moment!" The guard at the door flew in to report the news! Timeless King He Ming walked out and smiled when he saw Li Hanrui.
"Second brother, why did you come to my house so late? What's the emergency?" Li Hanrui looked around and took Wang Heming to a deserted place.
"I just followed Cam to the Valley of Forgetfulness. Liu Bo said that there is the entrance to the ghost market, so I want to ask, is there any way for you to get in?" As the young minister of Dali Temple, Wang Heming naturally has his own way.
"Has this foreign bastard entered the ghost market?"
"Yeah! Am I in a hurry? Who knows what this bastard is going to do?"
"Second brother, don't worry. I'll go back and get some things. Let's leave now!" Wang Heming also had a fiery temper. He was a red-faced man. When he heard that Li Hanrui needed help, he turned around and returned home without saying a word.
When the two came outside Wangyou Valley again, they saw Liu Bo and a group of brothers hiding in the dark. Seeing the two coming, Liu Bo hurried over.
"Second Young Master, Wang Shaoqing! You are here!"
"Is that guy out?" Li Hanrui asked hurriedly.
"No! Many people came out, but there is no Cam. We have been guarding!" Liu Bo said.
"Okay, you continue to guard. If you see him coming out, don't catch him. Follow him! He Ming and I will go in and take a look!"
"Yes!" Wang Heming took out two masks from his arms and gave one to Li Hanrui
"Take it with you, every place has its own rules!" Li Hanrui didn't say anything, put on the mask, and then followed Wang Heming and the two of them walked directly to the main entrance of Wangyou Valley. When they came to the front door of Wangyou Valley, they saw that the door was open. , it looked like an ordinary restaurant inside, the two of them walked inside!
Li Hanrui looked around and saw that there was nothing special in Wangyou Valley. There were a few dim lights around and a total of six tables. Two of them were occupied by guests, but these people did not feel like they were there. They are guests. They all have strong bodies, sharp eyes, and murderous auras all over their bodies. They don't look like ordinary people!
At this time, the waiter came up and saw that these two people came wearing masks and showed strange smiles.
"What do you two want to eat?" When Li Hanrui heard this, he knew that this should be a secret code. If you don't understand it, don't say anything!
Wang Heming smiled and took out a token from his waist. On the front of the token was a skull pattern, with a blood-red ghost character on the back.
"We want to eat something underground!"
"Okay, please come over here!" After saying that, the waiter led the two of them through the lobby of the restaurant, walked directly into the back kitchen, then walked out of the back door, passed through a small corridor, and came to a place that looked like Like a warehouse room.
I saw this man stroking something on the east wall. He found a brick and pressed it hard. He heard "Crack...!"
】With a sound, the wall instantly cracked and a door opened. If you look carefully, it's pitch black inside and you can't see anything clearly!
"Two distinguished guests, please!" The waiter made an inviting gesture. Wang Heming took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it to the waiter
"Thanks for your hard work!"
"Thank you for the reward!" the waiter said happily. Li Hanrui followed Wang Heming and walked in. Upon closer inspection, it was a tunnel leading underground. It was not very big inside and it was impossible for two people to walk side by side!
There are some stones with a faint light on the wall inside. You can't see the road clearly, but you can rely on these weak lights to see the direction of the road!
The two of them walked about three hundred steps, when suddenly there was a burst of light in front of them. The two of them walked out quickly. When Li Hanrui walked out of the tunnel, he was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him!
I saw bright lights underground and a lot of people inside. I looked carefully and couldn't tell the direction underground, but I could see that the street in front of me was dozens of feet wide. Three carriages walking side by side would not be knocked down. Although there is no carriage here!
There were all kinds of hawkers, all kinds of laughter and laughter, and countless people coming and going, but they all wore masks and couldn't see their faces. When I looked up, I saw that it was indeed land above, and the road in front of me. He didn't know how long it was. Li Hanrui was a little frightened. Such a large tunnel was no ordinary project. How did they dig it?
"Brother, this is in the capital, how could such a big hole be dug under the emperor's feet? Wouldn't it be a hidden ambush?" Li Hanrui couldn't even imagine it.
Wang Heming smiled and patted Li Hanrui's chest.
"My eldest brother, can you not live without caring about the country for a day? This was originally a secret passage built by the previous dynasty. Later, it was not used in our dynasty. Later, I heard that it was used by a mysterious person. After that, here It will become a ghost market!"
"And the ghost market has the rules of the ghost market. You don't have to worry about them rebelling or anything. They don't bother to care about that. The people who come here are shady people. As long as they can survive, they are lucky!"
"Are you sure it's safe here?"
"The ghost market has been established for decades. Have you ever heard that there is a case in the capital that they are responsible for? And there are special management personnel here. If anyone wants to cause trouble, they will be killed directly! The news will not spread! You Just don’t worry!" Wang Heming said.
Li Hanrui was greatly shocked. He didn't expect that there was such an underground city in the capital. Although it was underground, his breathing was very smooth and there was no feeling of stuffiness. It was really strange. Looking at the burning torches around him, he knew that this place was The ventilation is pretty good!
Li Hanrui then began to take a closer look at the people inside. He saw people selling various items on both sides of the road. He didn't know it, but he was startled. After walking dozens of steps, Li Hanrui was shocked by what he saw. , ginseng, deer antler, Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus, and some legendary medicinal materials are all available here!
Western eight treasures and revolving screws, which you have heard about, can also be seen here. Such precious things are all placed on the ground, just like rags and scraps being sold. It is very casual, and listening to the people here talking, there are their The clothes are not all from the Central Plains, but also from foreigners, including Tatars, Oaras, Jurchens, Islanders, Koryo, etc. This place is like a miniature version of the world!
After searching around and not seeing Cam, Wang Heming asked
"Second brother, there are at least a few thousand people here. This is not the way to go. Do you have any news or know what he is doing here?" Li Hanrui thought about it carefully and didn't know what he would do here?
"By the way, do you remember that at the banquet today, Xuanyi took out the Tianyi Bow. I think Geertai seemed to like it very much and was willing to exchange a thousand war horses, but it failed. Can we start from here?"
"This is acceptable!"
"Is there anyone selling weapons here?" Li Hanrui asked in surprise. Wang Heming smiled
"If you don't want to hear it, if there is anything in this world, you can find it on the ninth floor here!"
"The Tianyi Bow is the secret among secrets in our military camp!" Li Hanrui asked with a look of disbelief.
"Second brother, you misunderstood. Sometimes you don't need to steal your weapons. There are masters from all walks of life in this ghost market. You don't need to bring things or graphics. Even if you can describe what this thing looks like, here Basically anyone can make it for you!”
"so smart?"
"That's why it's a ghost market! But since you said it was a weapon, I probably know where to look for it. You come with me!" After Wang Heming finished speaking, he led Li Hanrui forward.
Li Hanrui really learned a lot today. He didn't say a word when he followed Wang Heming. Along the way, he saw everyone here, including lame people and children?
Starting a business at such a young age? It’s early enough to get into the industry! Hearing a coquettish smile, Li Hanrui turned his head and his eyes widened instantly. Was that woman not wearing a shirt?
I saw a woman wearing a golden mask wearing only a half-length gauze skirt and a naked upper body in public. There was a circle of men outside admiring it, and the woman was particularly open, twisting her body constantly, and the proud scenery on her chest A bird's eye view!
"Second brother, do you like this?" Wang Heming asked with a smile. Li Hanrui's face turned red
"Ahem, do business, do business!" Wang Heming laughed, as if he was used to it. The two came outside a cave. There was a piece of paper pasted at the door of the cave. A hammer was drawn on the white paper. Li Hanrui didn't understand. What's the meaning!
"This is it!" Wang Heming led Li Hanrui into the cave. The light here was not enough outside, but there were candles and open flames inside. You could see clearly in front of you. It was also very hot inside, and you could still hear the sound of blacksmithing in your ears.
Wang Heming came in and shouted directly
"Fatty Gu? Are you dead? Hey, he's not dead!"
"Who is it? Looking for death?" A dull voice came, and a shirtless middle-aged fat man came out. After seeing Wang Heming, the fat man smiled.
"Who did I think it was? Isn't this the messenger of justice from the capital? Why do you have time to come to my place?" The fat man was not wearing a mask. He had a round face with beards and looked very rough. , and he seems to be very familiar with Wang Heming.
"I won't talk nonsense with you when I come here. This is my second brother. I have something to ask!" After Wang Heming finished speaking, he looked at Li Hanrui.
"Second brother, this is my friend and the most famous craftsman here. He should know everything you want to ask!" Li Hanrui looked at the man
"Excuse me, did a Tatar come over today and ask you about Tianyi Bow?" When the fat man heard this, he did not answer, but smiled.
"Is this your first time coming to the ghost market? Everyone here wears a mask. Do I know any Tatar people from the Central Plains? But one person did come here and asked me if he could make a Tianyi Bow! "really!
Wang Heming was really helpful
"Then how did you respond?" The fat man smiled, picked up the water jar on the side, and held it up [Dong dong dong!
】Drink several sips in a row
"I don't have any hobbies in my life. I just like to build some strange things. But when this man came here and told me about the appearance and functions of the Tianyi Bow, I have never seen it, let alone heard of it, so I just I can’t answer that!”
