Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 47: A Trip to the Ghost Market
Late at night on the second day after Wang Lijin's breakthrough, he put on an old piece of clothing that he didn't usually wear, a homemade mask and a worn military cap, and slung a military green shoulder bag with several patches across his shoulder.

He quietly came out of the house and walked towards Deshengmen. Along the way, he tried his best to avoid other people and hide himself.

Soon he came to a street next to Deshengmen, where he could vaguely see some spots of light and some moving figures.

If someone who doesn't know the situation and is timid comes here, he will probably be scared to tears, because this is too much like the legendary encounter with a ghost.

When Wang Li saw this, an excited expression appeared on his face, and he knew that they had reached their destination.

This was the ghost market, a characteristic product of the time. As Kyoto was recovered, the land of some old bannermen was taken back, and as they had been enjoying themselves for a long time, they had no means of making a living.

Therefore, they would bring valuable items from their homes to the ghost market to sell from late at night to before dawn the next day, and over time a ghost market was formed.

Wang Li came to a ghost market near Deshengmen, which is also one of the larger ghost markets in Kyoto.

This was actually Wang Li’s first time here, and the reason was very normal, at least it was normal to others, that is, his parents didn’t allow him to come.

But don't think that Wang Li came here secretly without his parents' knowledge. He had already informed his parents and obtained their consent.

In fact, Wang Li wanted to come here when he was very young, but his parents did not agree because he was too young.

Although they knew that Wang Li was very strong and could not be bullied, his parents were still worried. Therefore, it was not until Wang Li turned 18 that his parents agreed to let him go to the ghost market.

Wang Li had been preparing for this day for a long time.

First, he asked Lai San to find out the location and rules of the Kyoto Ghost Market, and then he had to prepare some cash and the clothes for the Ghost Market, which is what he is wearing now.

After all, coming to the ghost market is illegal. It would be ugly if he was caught. Even if he was not caught, it would be easy for something to happen if someone saw his appearance.

After checking his clothes, Wang Li pretended to be familiar with the ghost market.
The only thing that was a bit out of place was that he didn't bring a flashlight, because he could see at night now. There weren't many people going to the ghost market, but there were many people selling things.

Wang Li walked past each stall one by one as if he was taking a stroll. This was the plan he had set for himself, which was to walk from one end of the street to the other to get a feel for the situation, and then look for the items he liked in each stall. After all, it was his first time here and he needed to get a feel for the situation.

In just a few minutes, he had reached the end of the ghost market and started walking back.

This time, he will carefully check each one to see if there is anything he likes.

After carefully looking at several stalls, he found that the things sold in the ghost market were all relatively small, and the stalls he just passed were all selling porcelain. He didn't know much about these things, so he just looked at the shapes and patterns, and when he found nothing he liked, he continued walking down.

After walking two-thirds of the way, he still hadn't found anything he liked. He thought to himself: Is this a bad start?

It was his first time here, so he had to buy something good. Just then he noticed that a stall on the right was selling bronze wares. He was familiar with this because he had a lot of them.

He walked up to the stall, squatted down, and carefully examined the items on the stall.

The owner of the stall was a middle-aged man wearing a mask and holding a flashlight in his hand.

The flashlight was on, but it was covered with a piece of cloth, so the light was dim. After Wang Li checked the items on the stall, he was attracted by a bronze sword.

This bronze sword is a heavy sword, with a blade of about three feet long and a hilt of less than one foot long. The entire sword is about 1.2 meters long, which was considered a relatively large bronze sword in the past.

I saw that this bronze sword was well preserved, with only some rust on some parts and the sword body was a little black, giving it a very ancient feeling.

Thanks for the recommendation, monthly ticket, and collection. I hope everyone can live a happy life, find their own happiness in books, and relieve the pressure of real life.
