ghost market news

Zheng Tunan rested his head on Miss Xianhui's lap, lazily looking at the scattered lights on the river.

After a lingering and fierce battle, the lingering rhyme of the two was still there, and they were dressed in gauze clothes, leaning on the bow of the boat.Like a sister next door, Miss Xianhui wiped Zheng Tunan's body with a warm cloth and combed his hair in a bun.

Compared with the pleasure in bed, Zheng Tunan enjoys this kind of lingering after-service more. Miss Xianhui understands her own mind better than those slaves bought with money at home.

"Still angry?" Miss Xianhui rubbed Zheng Tunan's eyebrows lightly, and explained softly: "The visitor is a guest, and it is impossible for me to drive away those Liang's children."

Zheng Tunan frowned slightly: "It's not just them, the old man imprisoned me at home and forced me to practice."

"I just said, why didn't you come here for a while? I was worried that you would just ignore me." Girl Xianhui sighed.

"Why am I willing to neglect you?" Zheng Tunan held the other's hand, kissing and kissing.

"Young master is a descendant of the immortal family. He will achieve great achievements in the future, so he should concentrate on cultivation." Miss Xianhui said.

"Hmph! The old man is just doing it for face!" Zheng Tunan stood up and put Miss Xianhui on his lap, and said angrily: "The imperial court recently set up a new Jinding Division, and the first one let us go to serve. As a result, they set up a bunch of Exam subjects, keep me out of the door."

"Jindingsi?" Miss Xianhui said: "The sisters of Longzangpu have heard about it from dignitaries. It is said that it is a new government office specially designed for the imperial court to make alchemy and draw talismans."

Zheng Tunan said contemptuously: "It's nothing more than taking in a bunch of warlocks who don't do business! The old man punished me severely just because I failed the exam. And that Zheng Siyuan actually entered the Jinding Division by a side door!"

Miss Xianhui saw that he was getting more and more angry, and quickly reached out to stroke his cheek: "Okay, don't be angry. Your old man is for your own good, and he entered the imperial government office to honor his ancestors and accumulate popularity... Is the exam for the Jinding Division very difficult?"

Zheng Tunan said: "It's also an air-inducing book talisman and an empty-handed alchemy. They are all low-level tricks! Especially that Zhao Shu, a poor countryman who came from Huaiying Pavilion, fought with him repeatedly. I was right!"

"Huaiying Hall? They are in the limelight recently." Miss Xianhui said softly.

Zheng Tunan showed displeasure: "What? Has Jiangzhu Tower entertained them?"

Miss Xianhui shook her head and said: "That's not the case... You know, Longzangpu has contacts with dignitaries and dignitaries, and they are well-informed. I heard by chance that there are a batch of spiritual materials in the middle school that are mined by the Huaiying Pavilion, and they are supposed to be used in Jinding Division."

"The Huaiying Pavilion has made great contributions in Xingluo County, so it will naturally be rewarded." Zheng Tunan said: "But this credit should belong to me! Liang Guoshi presided over the Chongxuan Pavilion, but only reused the children of the Liang family. The bandit sent Liang Shuo and his gang to exclude the other three surnames!"

Miss Xianhui comforted: "Xingluo County is in chaos, what's the good? Liang Shuo is said to be born with a fairy bone, didn't he also die in Xingluo County?"

"Liang Shuo is so prudish, he knows how to put on airs!" Zheng Tunan stretched out his hand and drew a sword beside him: "During the Five Kingdoms War, the Zheng clan of Jiujiang came out in large numbers, and I was short of a chance to become famous!"

"You..." Miss Xianhui's eyes flickered, and her jade finger lightly tapped the tip of the other's nose: "I fought that swordsman surnamed He in the Jiangzhu Tower before, and I was kicked into Longzangpu in the end?"

"It's not him!" Zheng Tunan's face became more and more angry: "The person who kicked me...is that Zhao Mi! In this life, I will kill this person!"

"You want to kill him?" Miss Xianhui leaned against Zheng Tunan's arms, her eyes revealed a strange brilliance.

"But there is no way out." Zheng Tunan sighed.

There was a trace of temptation in Miss Xianhui's voice: "Isn't your concubine brother at the Jinding Division? Why don't you let him invite Zhao Mi out, and you take the opportunity to kill him in the name of holding a banquet to apologize."

Zheng Tunan showed excitement, but his cheeks twitched, and he immediately said: "No, no, Zhao Mi is now an official of the court, so you can't touch him casually, otherwise you will definitely bring disaster. And..."

"And you can't beat him, can you?" Miss Xianhui approached slowly, her lips opened and closed next to Zheng Tunan's ear, and her warm fragrance blew out: "Don't worry, I've invited a few masters just to Deal with Zhao Mi. As long as you lure him out of the Jinding Division, my lord, everything will be easy. I guarantee that you will be the one who will cut off Zhao Mi's head in the end and let you avenge your shame."

Zheng Tunan's eyes blinked rapidly, as if he was suffering from hysteria, and when he finally woke up, his expression became a bit strange: "Yes, let's do it like this."

……

Jiang Ru was wearing a cloak, with her head and face hidden in the shadows, her footsteps were light and soundless, and she came to a quiet shrine.

There is little incense in the shrine, and on the altar is a statue of a boy with buns on his head and willow branches in his hands.The name of this god, Jumang, is one of the righteous gods in Tianxia sacrificial ceremonies, who guards the eastern land and summons the spirit of spring, and is commonly known as the master of the wood god among the people.

The shrines and temples dedicated to Lord Mude spread all over Dongsheng Capital during the Tianxia Dynasty, and the incense was very prosperous.However, with the loss of Tianxia, ​​the enshrining of wood gods gradually became rare. In that chaotic situation, temples were burned and statues were overturned, as if Mude Maharaja also died with Tianxia Dynasty.

Jiang Ru raised her head and glanced at the statue of the boy god. The clay sculpture was mottled and devoid of charm. There was only an old woman sweeping under the altar with difficulty.

Ignoring these, Jiang Ru came to a small house in the backyard of the shrine. She took out a snake pattern talisman from her bosom, and performed the spell. There was a talisman on the surface of the house door like flowing water, and the door became illusory and unreal.

Jiang Ru raised her feet and took a step, her figure was directly in the entrance, she raised her eyes, she was not in a house, but an underground cavity.

The stalagmites hang from the dome above, and a huge lantern emits a dim yellow light, illuminating the underground cavity.

Looking around, there are holes carved into walls, or houses stacked on top of each other. There are exquisitely carved stone houses and caves, as well as simple and dirty low shacks. There is a pond in the distance, not only the waters.

However, it is not only people who walk and haunt here.The old trees and flower spirits who have acquired the weather, the half-fish and half-human East Sea aquarium, the erratic ghosts, and the mountain monsters with fangs and hairy tails all appear here at the same time, buying and selling, bargaining, just like a market in the world.

Some of them look normal, but they are definitely not ordinary people. If they are not monsters that have transformed themselves, they are heretical cultivators.

Since ancient times, Kunlun Continent has been a place where people, ghosts and demons live together. These places often form ghost markets and demon markets. Different races exchange what they have, and the market facilitates trade. It is not based on the laws and regulations of any dynasty or country.

This is a ghost market near Dongshengdu. It is located underground, and it does not intersect with the common world, nor is it subject to the laws of the Huaxu Kingdom.

When Jiang Ru came to this ghost city, she felt a little nervous and alert.The ghosts and evil spirits who come and go here do not rely on the laws of the world, but rely on their own abilities.

Avoiding a group of ghost city guards carrying steel whips, Jiang Ru quietly turned into the grotto. Inside was a long corridor aisle, surrounded by smoke reverberating, blurred light and shadow, and spells that confuse the mind of the seven orifices formed a formation.There are caves on both sides of the aisle, and the sound of joy or pain can be heard from behind the door curtain.

Jiang Ru turned a blind eye to the seductive charm and walked straight through the corridor to the deepest cave.There was a tall man with thick hair outside the door. He had a protruding mouth and a shape like a wolfhound. He stopped and said:
"You're going the wrong way, there are no guests here."

Jiang Ru was too lazy to talk nonsense, and raised her hand to reveal a bronze medal with a big snake coiled pattern on it: "How?"

The tall man grinned and growled, and lifted the curtain in displeasure.When Jiang Ru stepped into it, she saw a slender woman leaning softly, wearing tulle, surrounded by four or five handsome men with strong figures, shaking her feather fan, holding a cup, and massaging her legs. His face was full of admiration and respect, but his pupils were empty, obviously fascinated by the spell.

"Hey, rare guest." The slim woman opened the soft gauze curtain, and smiled sweetly: "How did the descendants of the dignified Xuanpu Tianhu come to this sewer?"

Jiang Ru stared at the slim woman, suppressing her displeasure: "I went to Jiangzhu Tower to look for you, but the madam in the building said that you were bedridden and unable to see guests, so I knew you had returned to the ghost market. Come here , should I call you Miss Xianhui, or Qing Luoyi?"

"It's still Qingluoyi that sounds good to my ears." The slim woman raised her hand to signal the men around her: "Would you like to try it? These are human cauldrons that I bought with a lot of money. Raise them to be strong and strong with the medicine Hunxuan, so as to ensure that Danjin is fragrant and delicious, with a long aftertaste."

Jiang Ru said calmly: "No need, I'm not so hungry."

"That's right, what Sister Jiang is after is the immortal blood Yin like the Yongjia Liang family." Qing Luoyi sighed: "After all, they are descendants of Tianhu, and they will not eat unless they are immortal Zhi Yuying. These human tripods I raised are simply It's like drinking blood. But I heard that Mr. Liang Shuoliang died in Xingluo County? I don't know who Sister Jiang has climbed up recently? Can you tell me a little bit?"

Jiang Ru's bright eyes narrowed, like a fox in the forest, staring at its prey, ready to move: "You don't need to talk about me, you also wholeheartedly cling to the Zheng family of Jiujiang."

Qing Luoyi looked aggrieved: "Sister Jiang said this, your ancestors were the real foxes who followed the immortals, and I am only a half-demon. I dare not think about such things as becoming immortals. I only hope to find a solid backer. Live happily in the world."

"You half-demon, on the surface you are the flower head of the Crimson Pearl Tower, but secretly you are the master of the ghost market." Jiang Ru frowned and said, "It's just that you not only sell sex on the ground, but also kidnap mortal women everywhere. Ghost City, let them have intercourse with all kinds of goblins and ghosts. Are you planning to cultivate a group of half-demons similar to you?"

"The food and rice in Dongsheng is too expensive, so just doing a job is not enough." Qing Luoyi said with a smile: "And as long as these half-demons grow up, they often have talents that ordinary people don't have. If they are trained well, Can be of great use!"

Jiang Ru pursed her lips and remained silent. Even though she was born as a monster, she was also from a famous family. Even if she didn't show the slightest bit on her face, she still harbored contempt in her heart for the likes of half-monsters.

The so-called half-demons are actually still human beings. Although Kunlun Continent has had many incidents of intercourse between humans and monsters since ancient times, the offspring of half-demons have mixed and impure bloodlines, and their appearance may be different from ordinary people, so they are often not tolerated by the world.As for the talent of half-demons, there is no set rule, and most of them even live short lives and die young.

What's more, it's not easy to have offspring by intercourse between humans and monsters. Qing Luoyi snatched mortal women from the ground and let them have intercourse with various monsters. It may not be possible to cultivate many extraordinary half-demons.Such actions are more like attracting goblins and ghosts who come and go in the ghost market.

And even if the Jiang family stooped to serve the Liang family of Yongjia, it would still be the assistant prime minister.Therefore, Jiang Ru couldn't feel any favor towards Qing Luoyi's abusive behavior.

"Okay, don't make these jokes." Qing Luoyi waved her hand lightly, and the muscular men around her retreated respectfully. She stared at Jiang Ru and said, "It's rare to see you come to the ghost market. Tell me, what do you need us to do?" Do it for someone who can't see the light? And you want to get a batch of rare birds and animals from other countries to curry favor with the nobles?"

"I want to know who is in charge of connecting Donghai Mansion with the descendant Zhou's family." Jiang Ru said.

"The Zhou family?" Qing Luoyi frowned slightly: "Why did you suddenly ask this? Is Liang Guoshi asking you to come?"

"You can think so."

Qing Luoyi chuckled lightly and said: "That's right...but you should know that there are many brokers in the ghost market. They are willing to take risks and travel around for the government and the opposition to connect with foreign races. They earn hard money. Experts are watching."

Jiang Ru said: "You are well-informed, and you should be aware of the situation in the court. It has always been the Chongxuan Pavilion that controls the trade with various water prefectures in the East China Sea. invisible.

But recently, in the sea market, the treasures of spiritual materials have been greatly reduced, and various water mansions claim that it is caused by the earthquake in the sea.But this is too much of a coincidence, the Jinding Division has just been set up in the court, and to gather spiritual materials for dispatch, all the water palaces immediately withdraw from the sea market, and they are heading for the Chongxuan Pavilion. "

"The big people in the court fight and kill, how can a small person like me know about it." Qing Luoyi yawned lazily.

"You also intervened?" Jiang Ru asked.

"The Jinding Division really lives up to its name. It's just a big monster who swallows jade and sells gold." Qing Luoyi said: "Many people heard that the Huaxu Kingdom established the Jinding Division, and their thoughts immediately became active. Looking forward to making a lot of money from it."

Jiang Ru understood: "What do you want? Tell me."

"Happy!" Qing Luoyi sat up with sharp eyes: "Just exchange news for news, I can tell you about the person who connects the Zhou family and the Shuifu, but I need to know the news about the new deacon of Jinding Division, the more detailed the better !"

"New deacon?" Jiang Ru was startled: "You mean Zhao Mi?"

"Oh? It seems that sister Jiang knows this person?" Qing Luoyi clapped his hands and said, "That's right. It is said that this Zhao Mi also went to Xingluo County to suppress bandits. I wonder if you have met him before?"

"I've seen it." Jiang Ru closed her eyes and sighed softly.

Qing Luoyi looked at the other party with great interest: "Tsk tsk tsk, with such a helpless look, could it be that Sister Jiang has suffered at his hands? Could it be... oops! Liang Shuo died in Xingluo County, could it be Killed secretly by this person?"
