Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 110
And in an alley outside the ghost city.They set out to enter here first, and a group of males who were supposed to come to meet up here; instead, they clutched their stomachs in disarray, lay down on the ground, moaning and struggling in pain; name companion.

"It's you!"

"why!"

"Why did you betray..."

But the team deputy who was in charge of preparing and carrying food and drink muttered to himself in a voice that could not feel the slightest emotion and temperature:
"Because I was originally born here; all the wealth and future, or family members, are given by others."

"If it weren't for that, how could it be so easy to find the hideouts of those thieves, the hideouts of smugglers, criminals, and desperadoes?"

"Now, as long as I return a favor, I can get rid of all this..."

At this time, a group of strong men in black crotch and short shirts came out from behind him one after another; he stepped forward to hold down these dying men one by one, and wiped their necks one by one; then he said to the only surviving team deputy :

"You did the right thing. If it wasn't for your warning, the landlord would not have known that the Gongmen had made such a big move this time; I'm afraid it would be too late."

At the same time, several teams who came on the ground later encountered troubles of varying degrees.Either I suddenly found that I was lost in the network road extending in all directions, or there was no way ahead; or the guiding marks were erased or altered; There was bloodshed.

And in the small building in the ghost market, the informant Aguan continued to point Jiang Tian to the scenery in the ghost market, and at the same time explained various allusions and anecdotes inside:

"To tell you the truth, the people who often come to the ghost market in the past are just a few types of people."

"The first category is people of all kinds who can be seen everywhere on this road. They can't get back to the ground for various reasons, and sell some energy to make a living here. They are also long-term residents in this ghost city,"

"The second category is villains, big and small merchants who, relying on some meager connections, trade daily goods between the ground and the underground, or solicit a living for others, and negotiate for guarantees."

"The third category is people who come to have fun, especially those who are completely different from the fun and pleasures on the ground; this is the place where this generation flocks to and lingers. It is also the most welcome benefactor of the ghost market at present..."

"As for the fourth category, they are those of the three religions and nine streams, traffickers and pawns; because they violated the king's law or sought revenge for others, they temporarily took refuge here; and even those who seek escape and self-redemption;"

Speaking of this, Aguan deliberately flattered him again:
"Of course, the status of an official is extraordinary, so he is naturally not among such people."

"So in the extraordinary place, there are extraordinary rules?"

Jiang Tian noticed the key point, and asked lightly:

"It's clear to the officials, at least in this ghost market, the use of weapons and fighting for vendettas are forbidden."

A Guan heard the words and immediately echoed:
"Since this is the case, what if there is a dispute between the store or the customer?"

Zhang Wusheng, a young Jinwu guard who was leaning against the window, suddenly said:

"Then you can invite yourself to the arena of Master Fan Lou, and stand up and draw a bet as if you are in a battle of life and death; the winner in the end will get everything."

A Guan, however, evaded the important point and turned to him:

"Of course, such things are extremely rare in the arena, and they are opportunities that cannot be found; but everyone around the world will try their best to place a bet."

"And in daily life, the fan building is still mainly for people to play games and have fun; in the arena, it only provides corner fighting, fighting, and sword fighting, but there are fewer taboos and protective methods than on the ground."

"So, don't there be casualties every day?"

Zhang Wusheng couldn't bear it again and said:

"It's clear to the officials, what kind of a good family can be reduced to this point? There are many people who commit suicide and fight, just for the fame and fortune."

Ah Guan salivated with a smile on his face and said;
Hearing this, Jiang Tian couldn't help thinking: It seems that apart from the lack of dog meat stalls in this ghost market, it is even more exaggerated than the Kowloon Walled City in later generations.However, at the next moment, Jiang Tian decided to take back his complaints when the car that was pushing the barking cage passed by from the opposite street.

However, Aguan seemed to sense some kind of emotional change, and continued:
"What's more, this is far more than the common fighting competition, and it is not limited to the difference between men and women, or even the distinction between humans and animals; there are also some fashionable performances before and after the game, and even temporary suspension..."

In Jiang Tian's vision, there was once again a reminder of the increase in task progress.Even if it is only a "0.1%" change; but it also represents the correct direction and the tail of clues; can't help but show an interesting expression and speak again:

"It turned out to be the case. Can you tell me more about the arena?"

Ah Guanzhong was convinced once again that this young official really came to find you and visit Sheng, thinking that he would satisfy his curiosity.Hearing this kind of thing, even his expression was obviously different.It seems that he is also a master who is rich and comfortable at home but poor and boring.

In this case, his next itinerary will be much easier to handle.As the saying goes, I am not afraid that you will not be tempted, but I am afraid that you will always hide and hide without desire or desire; people will inevitably feel uneasy, and they don't know how to please and cater to them.

Presumably this official is tired of watching those ordinary singing and dancing; he wants to see a completely different excitement and enjoyment than usual.In this way, he can make some preparations in advance in Fan Lou's arena, and then arrange an unexpected encounter and encounter.

And Chen Wentai, who was watching Zhou without squinting from the sidelines, couldn't help looking at Zhang Wusheng.Where did so many fighting beasts in this underground ghost city come from, especially ferocious beasts?The clues that were cut off by the North Prison of the Forbidden Garden who committed suicide may be picked up here again.

At this time, Aguan continued to add:

"Naturally, apart from this life-and-death covenant, there are also some conventions in the market. For example, under the crowd, it is inevitable that there will be some unruly behaviors and methods."

"For example, the usual theft and fraud, and the tricks of pretending to be fakes, all need to be guarded against. Of course, if you are not caught on the spot, everything will be fine, otherwise, everything will be over."

"Therefore, some things can be said but not done, some things can be done but not said, and some things can neither be done nor said..."

"What can't be done or said also includes setting fire to the street?"

Immediately, Jiang Tian suddenly pointed to the outside world and said:
"Damn it! How dare you... the officials wait a moment, let me go and come."

A Guan couldn't help but his expression changed, he shouted in a hissing voice: the next moment, he immediately apologized and went downstairs, running away.

And following Aguan's figure running out, in the huts on both sides of the street; like an ant nest that has been smoked, many people rushed out; some of them were even disheveled, Or it could simply be that Bai Shengsheng existed and ran out into the street in such a panic;

And most of them are like the informant Aguan, yelling and calling each other amidst the sound of knocking clappers, and rushing towards the burning place in the distance with all kinds of utensils at hand; It's like having experience in this kind of thing for a long time, but it's not very often encountered.

However, Jiang Tian can also understand this kind of cramped space plus dense piles of covers.Once the fire is allowed to spread, it is easy to burn into one piece, and even the whole street and the whole area are involved; even if it is not about the death and injury, I don't know how many people, and how many households' property and property are lost.

It's just that Jiang Tian was able to be sure that someone set the fire, not a simple street fire; it was because he saw several similar fire points almost at the same time in his sharper vision than ordinary people; this is a bit unbelievable.So the next moment, Jiang Tian said to Chen Wentai: "Don't wait any longer, get out of here first, and then find ways to go to Fan Lou to inquire about it."

"it is good!"

Chen Wentai and Zhang Wusheng exchanged glances, and immediately agreed: Then he whistled lightly, and Murong Wu who was scattered outside also brought people back to meet up.I saw him say in a hasty tone:
"The streets are too chaotic, and something is wrong. It seems that some people are taking advantage of the fire to loot, and even the wrestlers who rushed past were killed or injured."

At this time, Jiang Tian took out a bunch of white money, put it in front of the blindfolded woman who was almost ignored downstairs, and said softly:
"Does this lady know, is there any other way out here?"

"It's in the back room, but it's messy and messy. Please ask the young lady to lead the way for the officials."

However, the woman gently put down the pipa, pushed away the string of five hundred white coins, and her voice hissed:

"You can't even see with your eyes, so how can you lead the way?"

A gentleman next to Murong Wu immediately scoffed:

However, the blindfolded woman suddenly took off the blindfold, revealing some shocking scars and blue veins in the eye sockets, and said slowly:

"Although the young lady can't see clearly, she still has the ability to listen and argue, which is how she manages and maintains her livelihood in daily life. I also ask the officials to give the young lady a chance."

"it is good"

Jiang Tian made a decisive decision: However, before he left, he couldn't help but arrange something in the foyer of this small shop on the second floor.Then, surrounded by the left and right, hurriedly passed through a secret door supported by heavy objects, and walked out of the back kitchen full of traces of fireworks.
But the blind woman named Ayun, leaning on a stick without hesitation, pointed and walked in the forefront; The seemingly inconspicuous objects suddenly revealed a gap for people to walk with.

Therefore, after walking around for a long time, an alleyway with a lot of people's voices and fireworks appeared in front of Jiang Tian and others.At this time, Zhang Wusheng couldn't help but speak again:

"Don't that woman, how do you know this..."

"That's because the little woman secretly wrote down this trick before she broke it!"

The blind woman, Ayun, said with a bleak smile:
"Then you are?"

Zhang Wusheng seemed a little shocked and said;
"It's all because of the little woman who trusts others and commits her own crimes. At least Aguan treated me better than those people before. At least she was willing to provide food and clothing. I escaped three times, and being escorted back by the neighbors just ruined my trick, but I left a sigh of relief."

Blind Ayun continued to whisper:
"Then what do you want?"

At this time, Chen Wentai also said seriously:

"I'm afraid I can't go back now, I just want to ask the officials for mercy; I don't dare to extravagantly hope that there will be a time to see the sun again, I only hope that this cripple who has a short life...doesn't have to die in this ghost city... In it, like so many poor people who have no names and no names, they are buried in the abyss."

The blind Ayun's face suddenly twitched, and he squeezed out a trace of water from the hideous eye sockets and said:

"Understood." Jiang Tian nodded slightly in his heart and said: "I will give you a cloak to cover your head and face, but we may not care about you in the future. How far we can go and what the final result will be depends on you It's gone."

Then, under Ayun's familiar guidance, Jiang Tian and his party continued to wander in the market, heading towards Fan Lou.Until a sudden gust of wind whizzed down from the sky, and fell straight onto Jiang Tian's body, and was held in his arms reflexively.

However, at the next moment, Jiang Tian showed some disgust on his face, and threw the other party on the ground unceremoniously; because he smelled a sour smell that had accumulated for an unknown amount of time.But the moment the man rolled to the ground, it evoked an incomparably clear "Ouch",
