Ghost Market is not located in a horizontal plane. It is composed of dozens of waterfalls, dozens of river sections, and hundreds of caves of all sizes.

Moreover, due to the difference in height between the tributaries of the underground river, the entire ghost market is divided into several floors, and some places must take bamboo and wood stairs or dive to pass through.

If you are not familiar with the terrain and without guidance, you can easily get lost in the dark river system that is invisible and can never walk out.

‘No wonder the Yu State court and the Pacification Department could not destroy the ghost market here. The underground rivers are well connected and there are countless secret passages. It is difficult for the army to enter. Even if they drive in, the people in the ghost market can quickly withdraw and move to other underground river systems.’

Li Ang looked around and was a little surprised. The terrain of the entire ghost market was so complex that it was comparable to a super giant ant cave. Its population may be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, just like an underground kingdom.

The wanted fugitive, the monk who came to buy prohibited items, the ill-hearted foreign spy, and the greedy businessman...

If Chang'an is the kingdom of heaven on earth, then the ghost market is where the dirty water and filth gather in Chang'an City.

“It’s still as smelly here.”

Wu Huo hugged his hands behind his head and complained: "What do people in the ghost market eat all day long?"

Ya Jiu walked in front and replied without looking back: "The staple food is moss, eyeless albino fish, and earthworms. A few people can afford food."

"Massive grain cannot be transported in, so I can only eat this?"

Wu Huo said, "It's a pity that they can eat."

"People are extremely hungry and can eat anything."

Ya Jiu said lightly, speeding up his pace a little, turning a corner.

"Um?"

Li Ang raised his eyebrows and appeared in front of him no longer the low shed seen in the river section in front, but a fair and regular villa house located on a high place.

There is a towering courtyard wall outside the mansion, and countless ceramic fragments are buried above the wall to prevent bandits. There are several looking-up arrow towers behind the wall, with soldiers wearing strong and stalkers stationed on it.

Above the cave where the entire villa is located, a huge "man"-shaped canopy hung to block the water dripping from the cave.

Under the rain canopy, there are eternal lights hanging, always keeping the lighting, making the villa manor look spectacular and weird.

Step on.

The two bald men in a uniform appearance and wearing short robes walked out of the shadows on both sides of the house and glanced at the Jaws and the other three in a sinister way.

"I'm here to find Kou Zhian Kou Dalang."

Ya Jiu looked as usual, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to two bald guards.

The bald guard glanced at it, but still said nothing, just turned around and signaled Ya Jiu and others to follow.

Kou Zhian Kou Dalang?

Li Ang's heart moved. This name appeared in the last change in Shengyefang. At that time, the scholar, the dwarf and other four people were said to be the stranger introduced by Kou Zhian to the Jinbu doctor Huai Rui to help Huai Rui solve the change.

At that time, Li Ang thought Kou Zhian was an intermediary in the ghost market. Judging from this situation, his status seemed to be quite low.

Local snake?

It seemed that he could feel the doubt in Li Ang’s heart. Jay Jiu popped his finger and released the sound transmission technique, making the sound ring in Li Ang’s ears.

"The entire ghost market was divided by eleven different forces. Kou Zhian was one of them - his father Kou Wukui was a cultivator in Zhuxiao Realm, but he had not appeared in the ghost market for several years.

Considering that the Kou family has been oppressed and occupied by the sphere of influence, he has never come forward.

He is probably dead. Or at least he has fallen from the Zhuxiao Realm."

Kou Wukui...I seem to have heard of this name somewhere.

Li Ang’s eyes lit up. He seemed to have heard from Yang Yu, a native of Chang'an.

When the Holy Empress was in power, she raised many male lovers of the face and gave them many rewards and even made them official positions. Some of the face and servants of the face and servants were arrogant and acted recklessly, resulting in the harsh liquidation of the Li family after the Shenlong coup regained the government.

(Some doctors in the history of the academy believe that the Queen of the Holy Queen is a fool in her later years, while others secretly commented that this move was a conspiracy of the Queen of the Holy Queen. She deliberately indulged the Queen of the Holy Queen, male favorites, slandered ministers, etc., and pushed them to do whatever they wanted, thus blocking the Wu clan's people to attract hatred. After the Queen of the Holy Queen, the Wu clan was not implicated for a hundred years)

Most of the capitals were killed or even stabbed to death by the Li royal family. Only a few who were completely innocent or not worthy of liquidation escaped.

Kou Wukui is one of them - he and Shan Changlian Xuanxiao were from the same era. When he was young, he was favored by the Holy Queen because of his handsome appearance. He even asked the Holy Queen to use the resources in the palace to help him practice.

After the Shenlong coup, Kou Wukui, who was already a monk in the Yun Realm, escaped the pursuit of the Li royal family with great difficulty, and since then he vowed to avenge the Holy Queen to death and be irreconcilable with Li Yu.

‘It was said that he assassinated many royal families in the Li family and the Dragon hero who made great efforts in the coup. Then he disappeared. The citizens of Chang'an thought he was dead, but he didn't expect that he had been hiding in the ghost market for so many years and became the Zhuxiao Realm.

Well, in a sense, I have been hiding in the underground ghost market for decades until my death, and I am indeed "uncommon with Li Yu's court."

Li Ang thought so, followed behind Ya Jiu and walked into the villa.

The entire villa is not much different from the above-ground buildings. It has structures such as gates, pavilions, central halls, and backyards. There are also rockery flowers and plants in the backyard.

However, it should be for moisture-proof purposes, and the wood part of the entire villa is replaced by stone.

"Like a coffin."

Wu Huo sniffed his lips and commented. The bald guard leading the way immediately turned his head and looked at him coldly. A phantom of a jackal appeared behind him, staring at Wu Huo with his bloody mouth.

The evil appearance of a body-refining warrior.

Wu Huo snorted disdainfully, looking directly at the cruel and sinister eyes of the Jackal and Fierce Shadow, and a larger black shadow appeared behind him, covering the other party.

"Don't make trouble."

Ya Jiu glanced at him and accelerated his pace and walked forward.

At this time, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes also walked out of the backyard.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

He has a tall and burly figure, sunken eyes and a straight nose, and looks like he is of the ancestry of a Hu.

"Kou Huaian?"

Ya Jiu frowned slightly, "Kou Erlang, where is your elder brother."

"You are the distinguished guest introduced by Mr. Yuansou?"

Kou Erlang, named Kou Huaian, smiled and said, "My elder brother went to Jingguo for something half a month ago. Now I am in charge of the Kou family. You can tell me any of the three of you if you have anything to do."

“…”

Ya Jiu was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "When Kou Da left, have you ever explained to you the whereabouts of some of the remaining limbs?"

"What you are talking about are the Buddha's molts?"

Kou Huaian nodded, turned around and walked into the central hall, "Come with me, three."

Li Ang followed Ya Jiu into the middle hall, and saw Kou Huaian explaining a few words to his subordinates. The latter walked into the corridor and disappeared for a while. When he appeared again, he was carrying a huge wooden box in his hand.

Squeak.

After the wooden box is opened, some off-white or waxy musculoskeletal fragments are stored inside.

It looks like a human body specimen that was broken and smashed.

Kou Huaian spread his palm and said, "What we collected from the underworld is here."

“…”

Ya Jiu squatted on the ground, checked the shape of the fragments in the wooden box, stood up, and said to Li Ang: "Let's see if these things can be pieced together."

"Um?"

Li Ang was a little surprised, but he still walked forward and checked it.

The fragments in the box are as hard as stone fragments, but there are clearly visible muscles and bone patterns on the fracture surface.

Biceps, triceps, trapezius, deltoid muscles...

Humerus, scapula, ribs, clavicle...

Without much effort, Li Ang put these fragments back in their respective positions and vaguely pieced together the outline of a person's upper body.

It's just that the head and left arm are missing.

"Are all things here?"

Ya Jiu looked up at Kou Huaian, who spread his palms with an innocent look on his face, "We only get these. If you want it, you can go to another family - the first citizens of the ghost market who took out the broken limbs may have already left their things at another family."

“…”

Ya Jiu nodded when he heard this, took out a stack of round gold coins like chips from his arms and placed them on the table.

This kind of chip-like currency is common in the ghost market.

However, the use of copper chips for external transactions, and this kind of fine gold material should be much more expensive.

Kou Huaian, who saw the gold coins, nodded, waved his hand and asked his subordinates to put away the currency, "Do you three want to see other things? I have it here..."

"No more comparison, take care of Kou Erlang, let's leave."

Ya Jiu said in a steady tone, lifted the wooden box on the ground and threw it to Wu Huo who was watching the show. He walked out of the courtyard with a decisive look.

Li Ang, who had just found a point to identify the feel of the bones, blinked and followed.

After walking out of the Kou family's mansion, Ya Jiu remained silent and walked along the underground river to a secluded shed in the ghost market.

He put the two boxes on the ground and opened them, saying to Li Ang, "Can you sew these parts together with thread?"

"It's possible."
