Misery: my feet step out of the flames of war

Chapter 310 The transaction in the monster market

The weak candlelight danced and shone on the corpse that had been parked in the crystal coffin for who knows how many years, adding another layer of paleness to the darkness.

This is a secret room under the Jin Mau Palace. King Heng held a candlestick and murmured to himself in the coffin:

"Brother, hurry up. I will find out the truth about your death soon. I will definitely avenge you and make those people die a hundred times more painful than you!"

The three days were not wasted at all. Not only was the trade agreement signed with Ca Mau, but the decoration of Tianzi No. [-] was also completed.

The welfare officer acted as the temporary shopkeeper, and together with the two clerks he brought, he also hired a few veterans from Wanyi Shangbao's own branch, and the store was officially opened to the public.

Huang Quan and Cui Luohan went to the Monster Market to find the death trap for Fengdu for King Heng.

It is actually very dangerous to leave Liao Tian, ​​Ji Wuxia and Hou Sheng in the Jin'ou Kingdom, but the Monster Market is even more dangerous, so Huang Quan can only make this arrangement.

Before leaving, Huang Quan made two points. One is to keep an eye on Liujin of Jin'ou Celestial Dynasty. If there are any large changes, be sure to track them down. The other is to keep the highest form of the Scroll of Life firmly in mind.

Another important point was what Huang Quan secretly said behind Ji Wuxia's back.

"Young men should exercise restraint, as it will damage their foundation."

Liao Tian nodded heavily.

On the fourth day, Gold set sail too late.

It was still Shao Gancheng who sent the couple to the Monster Market.

The big ship cut through the waves, like a string flying fast on the sea. Huang Quan stood on the bow, staring at the wind thousands of miles away, and the sea and sky were the same color.

It comes like water and passes like wind, where it comes and where it ends.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Xiao Cui, I never thought that my experiences in the past few years would be so magical. It seems that my destiny changed from the moment I met him."

"When I saw you, my destiny also changed."

"That's because I'm so handsome."

"..."

Not long after Tai Chi entered Guiya Island, the world around him suddenly changed.

In the night, I saw strange clouds and strange winds, high waves and violent waves, muffled thunder, and waves of wind and waves scattered on the sea like electric grids. Among them, there was a towering demon shadow, standing faintly in the waves.

The huge golden ship was like a fish caught in a big net, struggling in the wind and waves.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, there was crazy laughter: "Hehehe, hahaha, come on! Come on!"

Huang Quan paused with his feet and stood firmly on the deck.

Although Cui Luohan was as weak as a willow and bumped left and right with the string of the boat, her expression did not show the slightest panic.

Shao Gancheng tried his best to grasp the navigator in his hand and shouted loudly: "This is the monster from Guiyayu Island, you should hide in the cabin quickly!"

monster?
Huang Quan stared at the high wind and waves, and a deep voice came from the mirage-like scenery:

"My domineering territory is vast and unparalleled, with an unparalleled demon city and gorgeous products. It is a forgotten paradise and a luxurious hell. Are you ready?"

"It's so mysterious, drink!"

Huang Quan's hand invoked the spell, and a fire dragon rode the wind and waves, sweeping away the treacherous wind and waves, revealing the tranquil sea color again.

Huang Jintaizhi took this opportunity to pass through Guiya Island and instantly entered the sea area of ​​​​Monster City. Looking from a distance, there was already a dim shadow of lights.

Huang Quan looked back at the sea behind him, and saw that the clouds had cleared, the fog had dispersed, the stars were shining brightly, and it was as calm as a smooth mirror.

"Xiao Cui, it seems that there was no such phenomenon when we came here last time."

"Well, there is no such monster."

Shao Gancheng wiped the cold sweat from his head: "We finally made it over. In front of us is the Blood Lip Pier. We will dock here."

Cui Luohan looked at the white light and frowned slightly: "There seems to be many crises ahead."

"I'm just afraid that this journey will be too dull."

The ship has docked.

The enthusiastic voices of traders came from the pier:

"Welcome, welcome to the world of monster dealers and monsters. Use everything you have in exchange for your inner desires."

"Visitors from a foreign land, fresh faces, jie jie jie jie jie."

"You are a guest officer. If you want to do business, please come to me. I can take care of the damaged goods of normal people, men, women, old and young, with high quality and low price."

Shao Gancheng sent Huang Quan and Cui Luohan off the ship and warned them again: "Although this is your second time here, it seems that the atmosphere this time is not quite right. Don't be careful."

"Thanks for the reminder, Master."

After getting off the boat, Huang Quan and Cui Luohan moved forward steadily.

The Monster Market is indeed a strange place with various strange rules. For example, when buying and selling items here, you cannot question the other party's bid.

In addition, the time in the demon market is different from that in the miserable state. There is only one hour in a day, and the flow of time can be discerned by the demon sound.

After outsiders enter the demon market, they have to wait until the No. 12 demon sound sounds. At this time, they have the opportunity to see the entire demon city.

The two walked across the pier and stopped by a well to wait.

Not long after, twelve demonic sounds were heard, and then the tall Demonic Breath Mountain in the distance erupted with a strange light, like demonic aura, dyeing the entire Demonic City.

Haishi has arrived.

As the devil's aura entered their bodies, the scenery around them changed, revealing a lively market with shops lined up and customers like clouds.

It's just that these customers have different shapes, most of them look like animals, a few look like people, and some don't look like animals or people.

Cui Luohan observed for a while, thinking about the purpose of this trip, and couldn't help but worry: "There are so many shops, where can we find Fengdu Death Band?"

"Ask someone first."

Huang Quan walked straight into a shop in front of him.

"Excuse me, shopkeeper, do you know where I can buy Fengdu Death Band?"

"I don't know, you guys should get out quickly!"

When the shopkeeper heard that Feng Du was in trouble, he looked horrified and kicked them out.

Moving on to the next store, the situation was the same. I asked five or six stores in a row but didn't get any clues.

What's more, when he heard the words "Fengdu is dead", he was so frightened that he fell to his knees and shouted: "Your Majesty, please bless me! Your Majesty, please bless me!"

It was indeed different from what they saw last time. Last time they came to buy fish fry, although the various stores behaved strangely, they still conducted normal transactions.

"Why were they so frightened when they heard that Fengdu was dead?"

Suddenly, a man dressed as a middle-aged businessman squeezed over.

"Hehehe, because this thing is a symbol of sin and honor in the demon market. Ordinary students would never dare to talk about this thing."

Huang Quan disagreed: "Isn't it the mask used by the eight major death row criminals when they were sentenced to death?"

The merchant smiled slyly: "Masks are different from mask to mask."

Cui Luohan heard something in his words and asked hurriedly: "Do you know this thing? Please enlighten me. If you have this thing, you can also trade it."

"If you can take me with you when you leave and let me see the outside world, I will be willing to help with this deal."

Huang Quan agreed: "Okay."

The merchant was overjoyed: "You guys keep going forward until you reach the edge of the Children's Market of Dead Things and look for the real injury shop. There is what you want there."

"Thank you. You can go to the dock and wait for us."

"Wish you guys good luck."

The merchant turned back to the Blood Lip Pier, and Huang Quan and the other two went straight forward to the edge of the market.

Sure enough, I saw a shop with the four characters "Punshi Injury Shop" hanging on the sign.

"Punishment shop? What a strange name. Could it be a sad shop that punishes honest people?"

Cui Luohan couldn't help laughing: "That makes sense."

Huang Quan pushed the door open and walked in. On the shelves in front of him, there were rows of damaged goods. They were ugly, dilapidated, missing, damaged, and none of them were intact.

Otherwise, there is only one tree inside the store.

"Why is no one attending the store?" "Get out!"

The tree suddenly turned around, and Huang Quan took a closer look. It turned out that there was an old woman's face hanging on the tree.

"Huh? Dryad!"

The face hanging on the tree turned again and turned into an old man with a beard.

"Rude foreigners!"

Cui Luohan saluted and said, "Sorry, I would like to ask if your store has a product, which is the eight-person Fengdu death band that was recently salvaged."

The old man corrected her seriously: "It's a wound shop, not your shop, it's a wound product, not a commodity. Our store does have this item, but you are not a demon market student, so why do you know about this Fengdu Death Band?"

"It is the nature of collectors to seek novelty. The rarer the treasure, the more likely they are to have a collecting mentality. I believe you, the store owner, understand this."

The old tree man shook his head: "What you said is not the truth, but the demon market only talks about business, no matter the motive, what price can you pay?"

"We have plenty of silver, gold, and jewelry. The shopkeeper can give us a price."

As soon as these words came out, Old Man Shu was furious: "Gold, silver and jewelry? Are you insulting me?"

Suddenly, the leaves shot out and hit Huang Quan and the two of them.

Huang Quan rolled up his sleeves and swept away all the leaves: "Shopkeeper, please don't get angry."

Seeing Huang Quan easily neutralize the attack, Old Man Shu was stunned. The outsider was in the Demon City, and after inhaling the breath of the Demon Breath Mountain, his strength was suppressed by [-]%.

Why does this person still have such profound inner strength?

The old tree man turned his face and turned into an old woman again. He said in a sharp voice: "People from outside, do you want to challenge the rules of the demon market?"

"I don't dare. We have come all the way to hope that you two will come true."

"Hmph, we are bartering in this store. Do you have any treasures that you can trade with?"

Huang Quan touched his body and found that there was really nothing.

Cui Luohan shook her head, she didn't either.

The old woman rolled her eyes and made a suggestion: "If you fetch an injured item for me, I can help you."

"What?"

"The Sibingchuan Qin of Diyou House was originally owned by the former court lady of Di You House. Don't worry, the court lady is dead. The strings of the piano have been broken and the sound has been lost. It is a real injury."

"Four Diseases? Chuanqin?"

In terms of art, Huang Quan is certainly better than Wu Jun, but compared with his wife, he is far behind.

Cui Luohan, who had been a prostitute on Qin Dao for many years, immediately explained: "The allusion to the four diseases comes from Buddhist practice, which means causing disease, letting disease go, stopping disease, and eradicating disease."

"Madam is really knowledgeable, let's go now."

Diyou Restaurant, the most famous restaurant in the Monster Market, is located in the center of the Shenwu Children’s Market.

There is a Qiqiao Bridge next to it, also known as the Naughty Bridge. It is the best place for couples in the Demon City to have a date and a private life.

The two of them came in a hurry last time and did not set foot in Diyou Tower. This time they were able to taste the eight cups of mellow wine and Qingsi wine.

Not long after walking, I saw an elegant restaurant.

The building is three stories high, with glazed green tiles and copper bells on the eaves.

People and guests gathered together, the noise was endless, and music and strings were buzzing outside the bead curtain.

Seeing that the two people were beautifully dressed and looking extraordinary, the waiter warmly greeted them and introduced the distinguished guests into a luxurious private room.

"My dear sir, please take a seat, tea will be waiting~"

"Bring on your best dishes, as well as eight cups of mellow wine and a jar of green silk wine."

"Qingsi wine..."

The waiter looked troubled.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid that I can't pay?"

"Young Master misunderstood that Qingsi Wine was a royal product at that time, but later the Qingsi Bamboo used to make the wine withered overnight and has disappeared since then. Today there is only one jar left in the Demon City."

"Bring this altar up."

"Sir, this jar of wine will be auctioned at a minimum price of one hundred dendrobium beads. The one with the highest price will get it."

Cui Luohan's sleeved robe was flicked, and several large packages of gold and silver jewelry appeared on the table.

The gold is brilliant and the silver is shining.

"enough?"

The waiter swallowed: "I'll report back to the host, please wait a moment."

Huang Quan opened the window of the room and looked out. Various vendors gathered around the Qiqiao Bridge, and it was very lively with tourists picking and choosing.

"There seems to be no difference between Diyou Restaurant and the restaurant in Misery."

"Perhaps restaurants all over the world are similar."

Not long after, the waiter presented a table of delicacies and a jar of green silk wine.

But I saw several large characters engraved on the wine jar.

"This is?"

"It's a word lock. You can only drink after you unlock it. If you open it forcefully, the taste of the wine will change."

"Where do all these rules come from? Back off."

"Yes."

boom.

Huang Quan slapped the wine jar open, and immediately the wine splashed like pillars and flew high into the sky.

But Huang Quan grabbed the wine column with five fingers and put it back into the jar, poured out a cup, and drank slowly.

"Not enough flavor."

Cui Luohan covered her mouth and smiled: "Although the wine is light, the people are strong."

Sure enough, Tingting, a beautiful singer with heavy makeup, walked out of the balcony, opened her singing voice, slowly swayed her limbs, and started singing and dancing.

"The wind is light and the smoke is not afraid of being exiled to the grassland

The wild goose is tireless, looking forward to flying through the clouds
The infatuated fish only wants to be drunk in the water
Don't leave me alone..."

"With such heavy makeup, she doesn't look as good-looking as my wife."

The two were chatting and joking, and the waiter brought eight more cups of fermented wine and introduced at the same time: "The distinguished guest is lucky today. This is the famous female singer Lu Shu from Diyoulou. She only comes once a month and is hard to find."

"It seems that not only the restaurants all over the world are the same, but the red cards all over the world are also the same. The number of times they are introduced must be small, and the effect of the introduction must be sufficient. This is called rare goods."

Waiting for Huang Quan's sigh, Cui Luohan asked: "I heard that the performance of Qin Ji in Diyou Tower was also outstanding. Why is there only a singer but no piano player?"

"To be honest with you, since Qin Ji was executed, no one has played the Chuanqin in Diyou Tower."

"Chunqin, can you take a look?"

"This, I'm sorry, I don't know where it was received by the original poster."

"I took the liberty."

When the waiter exited, the two of them knew that they could only wait until night to become gentlemen here.

Huang Quan tasted the eight cups of mellow wine again. There were eight small cups on a tray, with eight different flavors: soft, sweet, clean, refreshing, mellow, thick, pure, and authentic.

Huang Quan recalled the two couplets he saw when he entered the building -

"The eight cups of mellow wine are in a state of wine, and the face is red and ugly."

Before leaving this time, Luo Hou told him that if he came to the demon market again, he could pay attention to the couplets in Diyou Tower.

This couplet is indeed strange, but what else is it besides strange?

Just when Huang Quan was thinking hard, a familiar person walked into the building, and Huang Quan's eyes suddenly lit up.

It's as troublesome as deciphering the couplets, so it's better to leave it to him.
