Chapter 360 Sexy Senior Sister, Online Treasure Appraisal
“There are two types of transit cards, one is long-term valid.
This kind of ferry pass is indeed rare. Those who can get it are either witch officials with extraordinary abilities or masters of aristocratic families. It is said that with this ferry pass, one can enter some areas of the ghost market that are not open to the public.
In addition, there is also a temporary crossing card.
This kind of card has many restrictions. You can only stay in the designated area in the ghost market and cannot walk around. And it can only be used once. Once you leave the ghost market, it will be automatically burned.
Most people who come to our Heifeng Ferry and visit the ghost market use this kind of ferry pass.
It is easy to get this kind of pass. You just need to go to the government office and pay a sum of money to get it. But at this time, the officials have already left the government office. If you want to buy a pass, you can only go tomorrow. "
The innkeeper was delighted to receive Shang Lu's reward. When he heard him ask about the ferry, he immediately told him everything he knew.
This guy spoke very fluently. It was obvious that he had answered many questions in this area for guests staying at the hotel on weekdays.
After hearing what the innkeeper said, before Shang Lu could say anything, Du Feng couldn't help but curse:
"Damn it, I told you, if entering a ghost market is really as difficult as that broker said, why would so many people come here?"
"A broker makes money by helping people buy and sell. He certainly doesn't want you to go to the ghost market to trade by yourselves."
When the innkeeper heard this, he knew what had happened to Shang Lu and his friends.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in Heifengdu. The innkeeper also told Shang Lu and his friends that some of the guests who stayed in the inn in the past few days were cheated by the brokers.
The way the innkeeper described being cheated was exactly the same as what Shang Lu and his friends had just encountered on the road.
It seems that it was most likely done by the same group of people.
"Didn't those who were cheated go to the government to report the case?" asked a thief.
The innkeeper said, "Many people have been defrauded of all their money. How can they report the crime? A trip to the government office costs a lot of money. But I also heard that a few days ago, a few people who were defrauded pooled their money and went to the government office to report the case, but so far, no one has been caught."
Du Feng couldn't help but interrupt: "How come they didn't catch him? Didn't the liar cheat on the street? Could it be that the deceived people couldn't remember his appearance... eh?"
Having said this, he was suddenly stunned, and found that he really couldn't remember what the previous broker looked like.
He tried hard to recall, but the broker's face seemed blank.
Not only Du Feng, but Tu Bin, several thieves, and even Shang Lu all had the same feeling.
"It seems that the broker either has mastered some special means or has some strange treasure."
Shang Lu snorted coldly: "No wonder the people in the government office have been unable to catch them."
"Sir, did you also encounter that liar? You didn't get cheated, did you?" the innkeeper asked curiously.
"It's okay. We thought since we were here, we had to go to the ghost market and take a look, so we didn't respond to his trick, otherwise we would have been cheated."
Shang Lu did not say that he could tell at first sight that something was wrong with the broker, but he made up an excuse.
The innkeeper really had no doubts.
After all, many people who came to Black Wind Ferry were here for the Ghost Market. Especially those who came to Black Wind Ferry for the first time, everyone wanted to go to the Ghost Market for a stroll.
However, the innkeeper still gave some advice for the sake of the reward:
"Sir, if the things you want to buy and sell are not of unknown origin, prone to trouble, or extremely rare and expensive, there is really no need to go to the ghost market. You can take a look at our market in Heifengdu first.
If you don’t find what you want, it’s not too late to go to the ghost market.
Our Black Wind Ferry market has all kinds of goods from all over the country. If you go to the Ghost Market, the ferry license is not cheap, much more expensive than the broker's commission. And I heard there are many strange things in the Ghost Market."
"What could be so strange?" Shang Lu asked curiously.
"I heard that too..."
The innkeeper was also a talkative person. Seeing Shang Lu's interest, he immediately started to describe the situation vividly:
“There are many strange rules in the ghost market that must be followed. If you violate them, you will be punished at best or even killed!
In addition, it is said that there are evil ghosts and ferocious gods hiding in the ghost market, waiting to do business with people!
Previously, someone went into the ghost market, his temperament changed drastically, and when he came out, he killed all his family members. It is said that he made a deal with the evil ghosts in the ghost market and sold the lives of his family members to the evil ghosts..."
"Is there such a thing?"
Shang Lu raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this matter was quite similar to the mountain ghost who had pretended to be a god and deceived believers in Feiwu Mountain before.
I wonder if there is any connection between the two?
Du Feng asked curiously, "What did that man get in return for selling his family's lives to the evil spirit?"
"I don't know about that." The innkeeper shook his head. "Maybe it's wealth and glory? Immortality? Or maybe it's a panacea or a way to practice martial arts? Isn't that what people who go to the ghost market are looking for?"
Du Feng asked again: "Was that person finally caught and executed?"
The innkeeper shook his head again in embarrassment and said he didn't know.
He told this story to other guests, and they were all amazed at the strangeness and weirdness of the ghost market. They didn't expect that the focus of this group of people was so strange.
Next, Shang Lu asked some questions related to the ghost market.
The innkeeper had no idea what the specific rules of the ghost market were or what it looked like.
After all, he had never been to the ghost market, and all he knew was hearsay.
Those who have been to the Ghost Market will often leave Heifengdu immediately after leaving the Ghost Market without stopping for any reason, so as to avoid being targeted by people with ulterior motives.
So no one asked the innkeeper to tell him the specific situation and rules of the ghost market.
Seeing this, Shang Lu did not make things difficult for the innkeeper, but waved his hand and let him go.
After waiting for a while, a thief who was guarding outside the inn led Zhu Quan in.
As soon as Zhu Quan saw Shang Lu, he bowed and apologized.
"But have you forgotten what the broker looked like?" Shang Lu asked.
Zhu Quan was stunned and said in surprise: "It is true, how did you know that, sir?"
"Master Zhu, not only you have forgotten, we all have forgotten." Tu Pi said.
"That broker must have some kind of treasure hidden on him that can make people forget his appearance."
Shang Lu had figured it out at this time and realized that the broker was not using magic.
Otherwise, based on the broker's strength, there is no way he would have fallen into his trap.
"It doesn't matter. The broker is determined to get rid of us and will definitely make a move tonight. We will arrest him and send him to the government office here. The people of Guling County can no longer blame us for meddling in their affairs."
Shang Lu comforted Zhu Quan for a few words, then called the innkeeper and asked him to help prepare the meal. After eating, he took everyone to the market in Heifengdu.
Now that I'm here, I'd better go shopping.
After walking around the market and asking several brokers, Shang Lu still couldn't find the Five Evil Stones.
However, there are brokers who have testified that there are indeed people selling the Five Evil Stones in the ghost market, and the quantity is quite large.
Shang Lu thought of what the innkeeper had said.
Most of the items sold in the ghost market are of unknown origin.
The origin of the Five Evil Stones is also unknown?
Bai Lingxu once said that the Wusha Stone, a rare mineral, mostly appeared on the battlefield after a fierce battle and was bred from blood, hostility, resentment and other factors.
If the Five Evil Stones sold in the ghost market have unknown origins, what kind of mystery would that be?
Was it stolen from a certain country’s treasury?
"Who cares? Just buy something. Even if it's stolen goods, it won't be traced back to me." Shang Lu muttered to himself.
Although he did not find the Five Evil Stones in the market at Heifengdu, Shang Lu did not return empty-handed. He bought some Blood Sky Mine for making Nuo masks.
Previously in Panlong Valley, he had only collected a few pieces. Since there were some here in Black Wind Ferry, and it didn't require the contribution points of the Witch Academy, he naturally had to buy some back.
In addition, Shang Lu also bought some medicinal herbs needed for practicing military witchcraft.
Finally, I bought Sanniang a set of spiritual yarrow stems for divination.
The merchant who sold this thing claimed that he had inherited the legacy from King Wen and that he had made this set of yarrow stems using a secret method.
The merchant boasted that this set of yarrow stems was very spiritual and could greatly improve the accuracy of divination.
Shang Lu naturally didn't believe these self-boasting words.
But Sanniang was interested in this set of yarrow stems, so Shanglu had to get them.
Zhu Quan, Du Feng, Tu Pi and others also bought some things.
What Shang Lu didn't expect was that in this market, in addition to various materials, there were also people selling residual spirits, magical weapons and even martial arts techniques.
It’s a pity that the skills sold in the market are of low quality and Shanglu can’t use them.
Moreover, there are still fragments of many skills. If you buy them back and learn them randomly, it would be strange if nothing goes wrong.
Shang Lu heard from the brokers in the market that there were also residual souls, magical weapons and skills for sale in the ghost market, and their quality was much higher than those in the market.
After all, the things sold in the ghost market don’t care about their origins. As long as they can afford the reward, people will dare to sell the secret techniques, secret books and treasures of various schools.
Finally, Shang Lu bought a set of martial arts for Tu Bin and Du Feng in this market.
The two men were so moved that their eyes turned red, and they wanted to bow down and call him their godfather.
It also made Zhu Quan and the bandits have a better understanding of Shang Lu's benevolence, righteousness and generosity.
Many thieves thought to themselves, if they could be as loyal to Shang Lu as Du Feng and Tu Bin, would Shang Lu treat them so well?
Shang Lu saw all the thieves' expressions and reactions.
This is exactly the result he wanted.
But he did not take the opportunity to make promises to the thieves.
Everything is excessive or insufficient. There is no need to talk at this time. The skills obtained by Tu Xiong and Du Feng are the best publicity.
Shang Lu was just looking at the residual spirits and magical weapons for sale in the market, but he was not in a hurry to buy them.
On the one hand, I want to go into the ghost market and see if there is anything better.
On the other hand, they are also afraid of being ripped off or even buying fake products.
The rules in the Heifengdu market are somewhat similar to those in an antique market, where one must make a purchase and then leave the transaction, and the authenticity of the goods is up to the individual.
Shang Lu has no talent in alchemy and making tools, so he can't tell whether these things are good or bad.
If you spend a high price, it's considered good. The worst thing is that you spend a high price and end up buying a residual spirit or a magical weapon with extremely side effects. That would be really a waste of money.
At this time, Shang Lu thought of Gongshu Ling.
He secretly took out the jade token of the Witch Academy, hid it in his sleeve, took photos of the residual spirits and witchcraft tools sold in the market, and sent them to Gongshu Ling, hoping that she would help him to do an "online treasure appraisal".
Gongshu Ling responded quickly this time: "What?"
Shang Lu hurriedly sent a message: "Sister Gongshu, I'm at the market in Heifengdu. Can you help me look at the things sold here and see if there's anything I can use?"
Gongshu Ling replied: "Black Wind Ferry? Market? Then you don't need to look. Even if there are good things, they are in the ghost market. The things in the market are either of poor quality or have serious side effects. Anyone who buys them is a fool."
Shang Lu thought to himself, I just bought two sets of exercises, why are you scolding me?
Fortunately, the two sets of skills were bought for Du Feng and Tu Xiong. If they wanted melons, they should get them.
I turned my head to look at Du Feng and Tu Bin. The two guys were still grinning. The melon was indeed salty and tasty.
Shang Lu retracted his gaze and sent another message: "Senior Sister Gongshu, I plan to go to the ghost market tomorrow. Can I ask you to help me take a look?"
"We'll talk about it when the time comes." After Gongshu Ling replied with this sentence, there was no more news.
However, when Shang Lu saw her message, he showed joy.
Based on his contact with Gongshu Ling during this period and the information he had obtained from Feng Boyuan and others, Gongshu Ling's words were equivalent to his agreement.
If she doesn't want to, she won't even reply.
Since Gongshu Ling said there were no good things in the market, Shang Lu stopped shopping.
But he did not return to the inn immediately, but went to the brothels in Heifengdu.
Du Feng was very excited when he saw this, and thought Shang Lu wanted to take them to broaden their horizons.
As a result, Shang Lu did not go to the sand dance hall, nor did he go to the brothel. Instead, he went straight to the teahouse, found a storyteller who had just stepped off the stage, took out a manuscript, and handed it to the other party.
The storyteller had seen people giving gold and silver as gifts, but this was the first time he had encountered someone giving manuscripts as gifts. His face was full of surprise and astonishment.
Shang Lu used his eloquence to describe himself as a senior storyteller who not only liked to listen but also liked to write. This manuscript was adapted from a mythological story he had heard before.
At first the storyteller didn't care, but he couldn't resist Shang Lu's eloquence, and Shang Lu also used some techniques of sophistry, so he opened the manuscript and read a few pages.
As a result, the storyteller was shocked when he saw this.
This story was written by Liu Quan.
As a great storyteller, Liu Quan's storytelling ability is extremely profound, so this book is naturally written in an extremely brilliant and fascinating way.
As he read on, the storyteller's breathing became rapid.
This is a good story! And it is a new story that has never been told before!
The monkey in the storybook, which can fly to the sky and into the earth, has many transformations and magical powers, and is indomitable, will definitely make many people like it.
If I could tell this story, I would surely win applause and become an instant hit!
The storyteller raised his head and looked at Shang Lu excitedly: "Are you really going to tell me this story?"
Shang Lu nodded: "Of course, I hope you can say it well."
"I'll make sure to say it well."
The storyteller held the manuscript tightly in one hand, fearing that Shang Lu would ask for it back. With the other hand, he searched his pockets and gave all the reward money he had received that day to Shang Lu, as if he had bought the book.
Little did he know that Shang Lu turned around and used the same method to find several other storytellers and sold Monkey King's books to them.
In this storybook, Shang Lu deleted all the content related to the Tang Dynasty. After all, in this world, there is no Tang Dynasty and no Li Shimin.
At the same time, some gods were changed and turned into gods existing in this world.
In addition, Shang Lu also asked Liu Quan to highlight Monkey King's magical powers such as the somersault cloud and transformation technique when creating the story.
His previous experience told him that a novelist's character card needed to be popular enough to be powerful.
Before the character cards grow up, their magical powers will be more useful to Shanglu!
It's just like the "seeing through fire" of the [Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant].
If only Monkey King’s somersault cloud, transformation skills and other magical powers could come true.
Even though its power is much weaker, it is still extremely useful for Shanglu.
If the character card of Monkey King is successful, then the fairy stories such as Erlang Shen, Lian Ou's Rebellion, etc. can also be arranged.
