After the awning boat traveled a few more miles on the waterway, the white mist on the river slowly receded. Not far away, there was a wide water area with bright lights. The dense lights looked like stars in the dark ghost city. .
Elder Haoran pointed to the dimly lit place and asked Lu Ming, "Isn't that the legendary gloomy ghost market?"
Lu Ming replied: "Yes, that's the Gloomy Ghost Market there. I really didn't expect that we could pass through the dangerous Huangquan Road alive."
Elder Haoran said: "I have never seen the gloomy ghost market hidden in the darkness from this angle before. I didn't expect it to be such a unique sight." Elder Haoran turned around and thanked the old man, "This is On the road, it’s all thanks to our seniors that we can save the day from danger.”
The old man said calmly: "You don't need to thank me. I use people's money to help them eliminate disasters. Since we have benefited from you, it is our duty and a matter of course to help you safely cross the road to hell."
As he spoke, the awning boat and the dock of Yinfenggui City made a loud "boom" sound, and the old man said to Elder Haoran and Lu Ming: "You two, your destination has been reached, please get off the boat. "
Elder Haoran heard the old man's urging from his words. As soon as they got off the boat, the old man hurriedly sailed away without even saying hello.
Elder Haoran asked doubtfully: "Senior, what's going on? You're walking in such a hurry, as if you're running for your life?"
Lu Ming said: "This is also the rule of our Yinfeng Ghost City. The underworld ferryman must not dock at the dock of Yinfeng Ghost City for too long. Otherwise, it will cause unnecessary trouble and even lead to killing. Trouble, that’s why he left in such a hurry.”
Elder Haoran asked in confusion: "There are still such rules in the Yinfeng Ghost Market? Why is this?"
Lu Ming explained: "The people who can come to Yinfeng Ghost Market are not ordinary people. It can be said that Yinfeng Ghost Market gathers people from all three religions and nine streams, and there are also many people with advanced cultivation levels. Many of these people are rogue bandits. , some are fugitives from the government, and some are people like you who came to inquire about the business. They violated the rules of the Yin Feng Ghost City, so they were forcibly left here. If they want to leave here, they must have a guide to lead the way. , and they have no way of knowing the identity and confidentiality of our guide in Yinwugui City..."
Elder Haoran thought that the identity of the Underworld Ferryman could easily be exposed. He took over Lu Ming's words and said: "Only the Underworld Ferryman's identity is relatively public, so this Underworld Ferryman is the most vulnerable target."
"Yes, the last Underworld Ferryman was besieged and captured by those unruly people who wanted to leave here. They forced him to take them out of the Yin Feng Ghost City but failed and killed him."
Elder Haoran asked: "Someone was killed in Yinfeng Ghost City. Is there no one to take care of it?"
Lu Ming smiled faintly and said: "Yinfeng Ghost Market is a place where the weak eat the strong. You rely on your own ability to make a living. As long as you don't violate the rules of Yinfeng Ghost Market, no matter what you do? No one will care. "
"Is this also the rule of Yinfeng Ghost Market? If a few people force people to take them away, doesn't it count as breaking the rules of Yinfeng Ghost Market?"
"Of course, so, those people eventually disappeared."
"If the underworld leader had taken them away from the Yin Feng Ghost City, would he have disappeared with them?"
"Do you think they will get out of this ghost city alive? If so, why would he rather die than obey?"
"Could it be that if you take those left here out of the Haunted Ghost City, the end will be more terrifying than death?"
"It's a hundred times more cruel and terrifying than Lingchi's execution, as one can imagine."
"what is that?"
Lu Ming laughed teasingly, "I didn't expect the elder to be so curious. It's a pity that I have to disappoint the elder. I can't give you the answer you want because everyone who knows the answer has disappeared. "
As the two walked, they talked about the rules of this Yinfeng Ghost City. Lu Ming said: "So, elder, when you come to this Yinfeng Ghost City, please abide by the rules here. Otherwise, not only you, but also me will also If you are implicated, you will inevitably die.”
"Listen to you, there must be a force controlling everything in this ghost city. Otherwise, even if you break the rules, no one will take care of you."
Lu Ming pointed to the figure walking far away and said: "Yes, the power that maintains the rules of this Yinfeng Ghost City is everyone in this Yinfeng Ghost City. As long as someone violates the rules of the Yinfeng Ghost City, there will always be someone Come out and clean up the house. This person may be him, or he may be him... In short, even if you die, you will not know who killed you."
Elder Haoran said: "I understand, this person also includes you."
Lu Ming acquiesced to Elder Haoran's words and remained silent.
While they were talking, they came to a house next to the pier. This house was very strangely built. It was completely hollowed out from a huge stalactite in the cave. The door was made of black iron and formed with the stalactite. The wall was tightly closed, and it seemed that the door had been locked from the inside, making it impossible for outsiders to enter.
The most peculiar thing about this house is that it has no windows, only a hole about an inch square from the side.
Elder Haoran peered in quietly through the hole. It was dark inside, without a trace of light. It didn't look like there was anyone inside.
Lu Ming walked to the entrance of the cave and said, "Leader, go down to Huangquan and take out a robe, a peace talisman."
As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking those few words, two black cloaks flew out of the black hole.
Lu Ming caught the two black cloaks and handed one to Elder Haoran. As he put on the black cloak, he said to Elder Haoran: "Put it on, he can protect your identity from being hidden." The ghost market is exposed, I will keep you safe."
Elder Haoran put on the black cloak as Lu Ming said, and the black hat completely blocked the two people's faces.
Lu Ming said: "I will take you into the Yinfeng Ghost City right now. While you are in the Yinfeng Ghost City, you must not let anyone see your face clearly. You must not reveal your or my identity here, nor can you It is the rule of the Yin Feng Ghost City to inquire about other people's identities. Otherwise, we will stay here forever. The purpose of the elders coming here is to buy information. After you get the information you want, we will leave here immediately. "
Elder Haoran said: "Okay, everything is up to you. This is not the first time we have cooperated. Don't you still trust me? Will I still harm you?"
Lu Ming said: "It's because this is not the first time I have brought you here. If others find out, I will be in trouble. In short, after entering the Yin Feng Ghost City, you must not cause trouble or expose you and me. Relationship."
Elder Haoran said impatiently: "I know, it's really long-winded."
Lu Ming took Elder Haoran to the city gate of Yin Feng Ghost City. Several people came in and out. The city tower was covered with white lanterns. There were no guards here. On the gate of the city wall, it was written: "Yin Feng Ghost City" "Fenggui City" are four big blood-red characters.
Elder Haoran followed Lu Ming into the city. It was still underground. Although there was no warm sunshine, the lights here were bright and bright as day.
The gloomy ghost market hidden deep underground is also very lively, no less prosperous than the street market on the ground. It seems that the people here have made a lot of money just by buying and selling news.
Most of the people in Yinfeng Ghost City are like Elder Haoran and others, wearing a black cloak. They are like messengers from hell, walking through the streets and alleys of Yinfeng Ghost City.
Elder Haoran asked Lu Ming beside him softly, "Are these people coming to the Yin Feng Ghost Market to buy and sell news?"
Lu Ming replied softly: "No, they do this because they don't want others to know their identity or their past. Okay, stop talking. Let's go to the place where you can get the news."
As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, a domineering voice came from behind them, "What are you talking about? Why don't you also come and let me hear it."
Elder Haoran and Lu Ming turned around, and it turned out to be a man with a ferocious appearance and a sword on his shoulder.
Seeing the arrogant person in front of him, Elder Haoran was very unhappy. He glanced at Lu Ming beside him. From Lu Ming's eyes, he could see that Lu Ming didn't know the person in front of him at all.
Elder Haoran responded with contempt to the domineering man in front of him: "Want to know? You are not qualified yet."
The man showed his fierce look and showed his teeth and claws, and said: "No one has dared to talk to me like this. I think you are impatient."
Elder Haoran said contemptuously: "I also tell you that so far, no one has dared to speak to me with this attitude and tone..."
When the man heard Elder Haoran's disapproving but challenging words, he said angrily: "You have successfully angered me. Today I will kill you in this gloomy ghost city."
Seeing this posture, Lu Ming knew that a fierce battle between Elder Haoran and that man was inevitable. Lu Ming whispered in Elder Haoran's ear: "Since you want to take action, don't show mercy. 'No one will die until you die. , The fight will not stop. This is also the rule of Yin Feng Ghost City, if you don't kill him, he will kill you."
Elder Haoran said: "I know, but I have another choice, which is to destroy his cultivation and spare his life.
