Chen Baiqi didn't listen to Si Jiang's speech at all, she was still immersed in her own thoughts.

"Something's wrong..."

Si Jiang looked at her twice and then followed her words: "I don't think this is like Chu Cangyue's usual behavior. You said before that he blocked the road and intercepted the Queen, and then the Rakshasa girl from the Assassin League spied on him.

I had the opportunity to secretly do it, so I contacted Chu Cangyue to have a deal with the Assassin Alliance in the Twelve Cities. I have some doubts about this matter..."

"What do you suspect?" Chen Baiqi asked.

Sijiang looked at her expression. The words rolled around in his mouth but he swallowed them again and shook his head.

"This assassination is also true. Ambushes were set up everywhere to prevent the six nations from forming an alliance and uniting to devour the Chu Kingdom. But now the special envoys of the six nations have arrived in Wei, and the alliance of the six nations has already begun. As the saying goes, it is difficult to recover after overturning the water. I don't know if Chu Cangyue can do it.

Now even if the mastermind of the Six Nations Alliance is killed, if it is exposed that the matter is related to the Chu State, it will be equivalent to forming a deadly feud with the Six Nations and they will never stop. Why were King Lu and those assassins exposed so easily?

Chu State, this is simply an unreasonable method..."

Chen Baiqi and Si Jiang looked at each other and thought at the same time: "Unless... someone deliberately provokes conflicts between the two parties!"

"Who is it?" Ji Yun asked.

Si Jiang said: "Hey, do you think it could be the Zhou Kingdom? After all, there is a person from the Zhou Kingdom in our accompanying team. The Chu Kingdom was destroyed and the strength of the six kingdoms increased. This must be something the Zhou Kingdom does not want to see.

"

Ji Yun said: "This matter is not yet certain, so don't make any unfounded guesses."

Chen Baiqi looked at Si Jiang and said: "But this matter must be involved enough. King Lu is the leader of a country, and he can risk his life to poison him without fear of the other five powerful countries. There must be some back-up plan, and the Assassin Alliance is here

The contact was made through the mouth of Hou Qing and others, and since the Assassin Alliance uses the name of Chu Cangyue, this matter also needs to be questioned..."

"That's all, these things can't be sorted out clearly in a while. You'd better go and squint while it's still dark. When you feel better, maybe your head will be clearer," Si Jiang said.

Chen Baiqi was also dizzy thinking about it, so she nodded.

"You guys too, go and rest for a while."

Ji Yun said: "Bai Qi, Yaoma has never returned since he left the day before yesterday. Did you arrange something for him?"

Chen Bai nodded.

She looked at the sky: "Well, I asked him to do something for me. He will probably be back after dawn..."

Before that, she had to "keep an eye on" the situation in the Jiuchanggui black market with her own eyes.

——

On the other side, Yaoma put on a floor-length black cloak and black gloves, covering his whole body tightly and deeply. He led a group of people wearing masks of cow ghosts and snake gods and finally arrived at Jiuchanggui.

Not to mention that they are dressed up like this, which really makes people feel mysterious. Even if they meet people along the way, they have an aura of keeping strangers away.

Along the way, the narrow ancient forest road in Mayi was dim and blurry, with only the light coming from the floating fireflies in the jungle. Occasionally, a figure passed by quietly like a ghost, and the rest was the sound of wind, the sound of trees and rustling trees.

The sound of advancing footsteps.

And everyone's journey finally gathered under a century-old locust tree that covered the sky and the earth.

The trunk of the old locust tree is huge, and the branches are hung with lanterns in the form of loose umbrellas. Dots of orange and smart light float among the leaves, making the densely packed tree cover bright and dark, and uneven.

People who come here unconsciously raise their heads, looking up as if they are looking up at the starry sky, where the stars illuminate the sky and the earth.

Not far away, there was a rustle of wind and the trees were swaying, as if someone was in a trance.

Yaoma suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. He looked around and felt that someone was watching them in the dark.

Thinking back to what the master and apprentice had said before, I thought, maybe someone is really spying in this dark place.

He straightened his back and resisted looking around like a young man who had never seen the world. He concentrated and only looked at the road into the black market.

Unfortunately, there was no road in front of him, only a quagmire of water and grass. The dark night tore everything into confusion and darkness. Coupled with the dense forest, visibility was extremely low.

Three circles to the left, three circles to the right, one step away from the gate of hell, one step away from the palace of hell, don't be afraid, don't be afraid.

The guiding light is long and long. If you take a wrong step to the gate of hell or cross a wrong step to the palace of hell, it will be terrible, terrible.

This is Jiuchanggui's entrance formula. It is written on a tall stone tablet. The body of the tablet is dark and the fonts are bright red, which is particularly eye-catching.

This is a record and explanation of how to enter Jiuchanggui Market.

It was the first time for Yaoma and others to come to Jiuchanggui. In order not to expose their short-sightedness and to maintain this mysterious posture, they were not allowed to ask anyone. They could only stand quietly and observe how others entered.

After waiting for a while, the people coming and going only glanced at their group, then disappeared under the big locust tree, and Yaoma could probably see the road clearly.

Then he and his group can start taking action.

The three circles on the left and the three circles on the right refer to turning around the trunk of the big locust tree. One more step won't work, one step missing won't work, and it won't work if the direction is wrong. Yaoma led the people to cautiously turn left three times and then right.

After walking around for three times, there was only a "boom" and the ground seemed to rumble. Suddenly, in the darkness behind them, two rows of lanterns were lit up in vain, and a long row of stone slabs was erected underneath.

ladder.

"Isn't it just a market, but it's turned into such a ghost..."

Yaoma and the others walked along the stone staircase, using the light as their guide. They followed a long road, and then they saw a faint stone arch bridge in front of them.

He was stunned for a moment, thinking silently... The guiding light is long and long. If you step on the wrong step, you will cross the gate of hell, and if you step on the wrong step, you will cross the palace of hell...

Looking at the long light road, he suddenly felt scared in his heart.

This Jiuchanggui can even make people smell the smell of blood.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a dispute in front of him. It seemed that someone ignored the queue and forcibly cut in, but was angrily pushed away by others. However, he lost his balance and fell from the stone staircase. However, before he could even scream, he was hit by something in the darkness.

He jumped up and bit his neck, blood splattered on the ground.

Yaoma's face darkened: "..." Oh my god, it's so scary here, I want to go back!

After walking through the stone road and then crossing the stone arch bridge, they were even more cautious, because there are three ways in this bridge, the left into the hole, the right into the hole, and the middle upwards... For fear of repeating the same misery as before, Yaoma

The others stopped moving again.

Which way to go?

Yaoma began to recite again: "The guiding light is long and long. If you take a wrong step to the gate of hell, or a wrong step to the palace of hell, it will be terrible, terrible."

"It's terrible, it's terrible..."

He observed the three roads. The hole on the left looked very flat and without light. The one on the right was the lower steps, which had light. He was probably going underground.

This time, the reference for other people’s choices is not accurate, because people have taken these three paths, and they never look back. God knows which path is the right one.

"Guiding light, long and long..." This means that the light is to guide the way. I'm afraid I can't choose the lightless one.

So only the underground passage on the right and the staircase in the middle are left.

"One wrong step, one wrong step, the gate of hell, the palace of hell..." Yaoma suddenly woke up.

"Both of these places are underground. If you step on or cross them by mistake, it will be a mistake. Then there is only one choice left."

With anxious thoughts, Yaoma led a group of people onto the bridge and then entered the middle passage. When they came out again, they came to another world.

It was obviously dark night, but I don't know what kind of technique was used. Everything in front of me was swept away from the darkness and silence before, and instead turned into a bright and lively scene.

It's like a bustling market has been opened up in the darkness. The black stone streets are very wide. The firelight shining on this street looks particularly bright. It turns thousands of times. The thatched bunks in the center extend all the way around, and each bunk

There is a flag erected on them, with the unique patterns and names of the bunks embroidered on the flag, which looks like leaves, making people feel like they are walking into a mysterious, lively and classic long corridor.

There are all kinds of weird people here, including men, women, old and young. Basically, they don’t show their true colors. Some wear masks, some tie up with cloths, and some hide behind the scenes.

Whether it's a buyer or a seller.

Walking in the bustling streets, watching the people coming and going, all running for their goals, the dazzling array of products is dazzling, but few people will ask and bargain, they are all fixed at a fixed price.

At this time, Yaoma felt that he had come to attend a market instead of going through a barrier to obtain treasure.

After thinking about it, he felt that he should take out the tips bag "Chen Huanxian" gave him now and look at it.

There are two big characters written on it - Yin Family.

The Yin family—the Yin family of the Yin Yang family?!

Yaoma turned the long piece of cloth over and over to make sure he had read it correctly, and suddenly felt his scalp numb.

Wait, are you really treating him like a legend? Is it so easy to fool someone from the Yin family?!

The people behind him asked strangely when they saw that Yaoma had not moved after reading Master Chen's tip bag.

"What's wrong?"

Yaoma said: "What a ghost."

"What?" The man didn't understand for a moment.

Yaoma waved his hand and said weakly: "Nothing, let's go find the Yin family's bunk."

"Yin family?" The person who asked the question was named Zijun, who was obviously a gangster. When he heard "Yin family", his expression changed: "Um... big brother, is the Yin family the Yin family of the Yin Yang family?"

Yaoma said angrily: "Apart from the Yin family that can meet the requirements of your family, Mr. Chen, which other Yin family is there?"

After saying that, he sighed.

Seeing Zijun's hesitant expression, Yaoma gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go. Time waits for no one. No matter what the Yin family or the Yang family is, if we can't get anything done this time, there's no need to go back to see Chen Huanxian."

They walked across the streets and alleys to see which stall was under the banner of the Yin family. Finally, they saw the Yin family's shop next to the central fire canal.

Generally speaking, the farther inward a market is, the less popular it is. Normally, this street is indeed very quiet, but now it suddenly became lively. A large group of people gathered in the middle of the street. They had various shapes and wore various clothes.

Clothes, with various faces, are densely packed into a large circle.

"This is the Yin family's bunk."

Zijun went to visit and came back to talk to Yaoma.

"Let's take a look first," Yaoma said.

In addition to their large numbers, their group was also heavily armed with various props, which made people suspicious and taboo. Therefore, as soon as they approached, the others more or less dispersed away.

Yaoma straightened his back and stood in front of others with the persona Chen Baiqi gave him - a high-end, mysterious and dangerous posture.

He glanced at the bunk. There were no big items on it, only three rows of jade slips.
