In the evening, An Qingyuan found Gu Qingxi, and then flew in a direction with Gu Qingxi's sword.
Five hundred miles is not too far for the monks, and they reach the so-called black market before dark.
Gu Qingxi looked at the bustling city in front of her and looked at An Qingyuan with some confusion: "Second senior brother, is this a black market?"
After An Qingyuan paid the entrance fee, he explained to Gu Qingxi as he walked: "Junior sister, do you think that black markets are all dark and remote places? For example, there is a huge market underground somewhere?"
Gu Qingxi blinked and asked doubtfully: "Isn't it?"
An Qingyuan chuckled and said in a low voice: "Of course not. The largest black market in the world of cultivation is this city called Dafeng City. When you enter this city, don't trust anyone but me. Under the bustling surface, everything is...
Sin and deceit.”
At this moment, the lanterns were just beginning to turn on, and the entire city gradually became as bright as daylight from the dimness of the evening just now.
The vendors on the roadside were selling goods. Gu Qingxi glanced at them and saw that they were all ordinary things. However, she remembered what her second senior brother said, so she cautiously only looked at them from a distance.
An Qingyuan said: "In Dafeng City, the things sold are either good or bad, genuine or fake, it all depends on personal taste.
If you buy something bad or fake, consider yourself unlucky. In this place, even if you are cheated, there is no way to seek justice.
There is no order here, or rather, it is a chaotic order.
The city lord of this city had stipulated long ago that everyone should buy and sell at their own risk and according to their own abilities.
On the surface, stealing and robbing are not allowed, but it's okay if you can do it without being discovered and without letting the guards in the city get hold of it.
If you have been deceived and want to seek justice, you can settle it on your own outside the city. It doesn't matter whether you are beaten to death or buried.
But in the city, it is strictly forbidden to do anything."
Gu Qingxi now understood what the second senior brother meant by chaotic order.
"So, Junior Sister, you can see for yourself what you want to buy. See what Junior Sister thinks of it." An Qingyuan said with a smile.
When Gu Qingxi heard this, she became interested.
After she walked to the front of the stall, the stall owner greeted her warmly: "Girl, look at the things in my stall. They are all good things. I am an innocent child. You can choose whatever you want. If you buy more, you will get a discount."
Wan Ling couldn't help but said: "Master, I don't believe that he is an innocent child."
Gu Qingxi looked at the things on the stall and thought to herself that this vendor really sells everything.
There are all kinds of things on this stall, including elixirs, materials for making weapons, jewelry, and medicinal herbs.
Gu Qingxi took a fancy to a jade pendant, which was made of black jade. It exuded a light luster and had exquisite patterns carved on the surface.
"How much does this cost?" Gu Qingxi asked, pointing to the black jade pendant.
"Young girl has good eyesight, and I will receive five thousand spiritual stones." The vendor said with a smile.
Gu Qingxi: "...Why don't you go and grab it?"
The hawker smiled and said in a serious tone: "I would like to rob it, but the city regulations don't allow it, and I may not be able to beat you. It's still unclear who will rob who, so I'd better sell it at a high price, if I can get it.
Just cheat, if you can’t cheat, forget it.”
Gu Qingxi: "..." To say such shameless words so honestly made her speechless for a moment.
An Qingyuan looked at the speechless look on his junior sister's face, walked over with a smile, picked up the jade pendant, and said, "Can I sell a hundred spiritual stones?"
The vendor exclaimed: "Why don't you go and grab it? This is carved from black Anhui stone, and it costs several hundred spiritual stones."
An Qingyuan said calmly: "I also want to rob you, but it's because the city lord won't let me."
Hawker: "..."
Gu Qingxi wanted to laugh a little when she saw the frustrated look on the vendor's face.
"Selling it for five hundred?" An Qingyuan asked again.
"Sell it, you can take it." The vendor waved his hand like a fly.
Gu Qingxi immediately paid the money and took the jade pendant: "Thank you, Second Senior Brother."
An Qingyuan took out a fan and swayed it leisurely. He looked like a handsome nobleman and walked forward slowly: "Little junior sister, let's go."
Gu Qingxi quickly followed, and she whispered to An Qingyuan: "Second senior brother, why do I think that vendor is quite honest?"
An Qingyuan said slowly: "The black market here is very straightforward. Under the premise of abiding by the rules here, maybe human nature can be released more?"
Gu Qingxi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
After walking a few steps, a crying woman ran towards her, followed by several men with fierce looks chasing her.
The woman ran in front of Gu Qingxi in panic, fell at her feet, and looked up at Gu Qingxi: "Girl, please help me, please girl, please save me... Those people want to take me to Happy Building..."
The name Happy Building doesn't sound like a serious place.
The woman's pretty face was full of panic and fear, her face was pale, she kept shrank to Gu Qingxi's feet, and even stretched out her hand to hug Gu Qingxi's calf.
An Qingyuan looked at this scene and was about to say something when he saw his junior sister jumping up and hiding to the side, leaving the woman in her arms.
"Your acting skills are so bad, you can't even put on your makeup when you cry." Gu Qingxi hid behind An Qingyuan, stuck her head out to look at the woman on the ground, and said coldly, "Is it because I was shopping just now?
, you are targeting me, you realize that this is my first time in the black market, you think I am stupid and you want to take advantage of me?"
An Qingyuan: "..." His worries seemed to be unnecessary. The junior sister was very smart and was not deceived by this woman at all.
Also, the word "Sibaitian", well, this word is a bit novel. If you taste it carefully, he seems to be able to understand what this word means.
The woman cried even more sadly, hugging her own shoulders with helpless hands, and said to Gu Qingxi in a miserable tone: "Girl, if you don't want to help me, why bother mocking me, a poor person like me?"
Woolen cloth?"
Gu Qingxi touched her chin seriously, followed the woman's words, and murmured: "Yes, I am so unsympathetic. I don't help others but I still ridicule them."
An Qingyuan blinked, feeling that these words were not the junior sister's style.
Those fierce-looking men had already caught up with them, and the leader stretched out his hand to grab the wrist of the woman sitting on the ground.
The woman screamed and hid in the direction of Gu Qingxi and the others.
Gu Qingxi raised her hand to stop the men's movements: "Wait a minute, how much does this woman cost?"
Hearing Gu Qingxi's words, the men stopped what they were doing, looked up at Gu Qingxi, then stretched out their hands and gestured: "Fifty thousand spiritual stones."
"Oh, it's so expensive, can it be cheaper?" Gu Qingxi bargained directly.
An Qingyuan looked at the little junior sister's movements and subconsciously wanted to stop her. However, when he saw Gu Qingxi winking at him, he stood aside quietly.
