Early the next morning, Jin Qiaoqiao came to see Ye Longyuan, with a copy of today's newspaper in her hand.
"So early?"
Ye Longyuan smiled and greeted.
"Of course, Mr. Ye, I have brought you good news. The ghost market will open tonight! I will take you there then!"
Jin Qiaoqiao said straight to the point.
"How do you know the ghost market will open tonight?"
Ye Longyuan asked feeling a little strange.
"Of course, look!"
Jin Qiaoqiao said as he handed over today's newspaper and pointed at the middle of the newspaper.
Ye Longyuan took a closer look and saw a message written in the middle of the newspaper: "Looking for something..."
"This is just a missing object notice!"
Although he was surprised that in this Internet age, there were still people posting in newspapers looking for things, Ye Longyuan did not see any information about the ghost market.
"This message seems to be a missing object notice, but in fact it tells everyone that the ghost market will open tonight. If you need it, you can go to the predetermined location to participate in the ghost market tonight!"
Jin Qiaoqiao explained.
Later, she told Ye Longyuan the hidden information, such as interpreting location information from these words, etc.
After listening, Ye Longyuan suddenly realized that this was actually a hidden password.
When he was in the army, he was very familiar with this type of information encryption method, but he didn't expect that this method would also be used in the ghost market.
This is indeed a very confidential method that helps hide key information while also allowing people who know the ropes to see what's inside at a glance.
Especially for a hidden market like the Ghost Market, it is absolutely essential.
"In this case, let's take action tonight!"
Ye Longyuan was even a little impatient.
"OK."
Jin Qiaoqiao also responded with a smile.
She was also very proud to be able to help Ye Longyuan.
…
Soon, night falls.
Ye Longyuan, led by Jin Qiaoqiao, left the hotel where he lived and walked towards a barren mountain and forest.
When they arrived at their destination, Ye Longyuan looked around and found that the place was extremely desolate, with no market at all.
"It's really strange. There is nothing in this place. Why did you bring me here?"
Ye Longyuan looked at Jin Qiaoqiao with a strange look on his face and said.
"Mr. Ye, please come with me!"
Jin Qiaoqiao said, leading the way and taking Ye Longyuan deeper into the place.
Following her, Ye Longyuan also looked around and found traces of some buildings gradually appearing in front of him.
It was a stone-paved path that looked winding and mysterious, extending all the way into the depths of the valley.
As the two of them went deeper, Ye Longyuan discovered that bursts of mist appeared in front of him.
The mist was erratic, giving people a very mysterious and eerie feeling, as if Ye Longyuan had gone deep into an illusion.
He couldn't help but be a little more vigilant, not because he was worried about Jin Qiaoqiao, but because he was worried that there would be other dangers here.
But Jin Qiaoqiao seemed to turn a blind eye to the fog around her. Even if the visibility was very low, it did not affect her ability to move forward.
However, after a while.
Ye Longyuan also gradually heard a slightly noisy, rustling sound coming from the mist ahead.
Jin Qiaoqiao looked happy: "We're almost there!"
As she spoke, her pace quickened.
Ye Longyuan also hurriedly followed, walking quickly behind Jin Qiaoqiao. After just a moment, the two of them passed through the fog.
At this moment, Ye Longyuan felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, and a small village located deep in the valley suddenly appeared in front of him!
Miao territory already has a large number of mountains and forests, and it is normal for there to be some rare villages in the mountains and forests.
It's just that the village in front of us looks much more desolate than Ganquan Village. There are overgrown weeds everywhere, and some of the houses are even dilapidated. It doesn't look like someone has lived there for a long time.
But at this time, the village was full of all kinds of pedestrians, coming and going, and it looked very lively.
There is only one road in the village, but it is quite wide. There are vendors on both sides of the road, selling all kinds of strange and weird things.
Pedestrians passing by stopped to observe or bargain with the stall owners from time to time. Various sounds reached Ye Longyuan's ears, which seemed quite lively.
"Here we are, this is the ghost market!"
Jin Qiaoqiao looked at Ye Longyuan with a smile and introduced.
Ye Longyuan glanced at the vendors one by one. Looking at the things sold by these vendors, he found that they were really strange.
There are some herbs collected from the mountains, medicines refined by oneself, and various antique calligraphy and paintings that I don’t know where they come from...
Ye Longyuan even noticed that some stalls did not sell anything in front of them, but they had some content written on them, such as the price of assassinating the target.
Targets with different standards have different prices!
All in all, it can be said that it has everything you need and is full of tricks!
But without exception, the things they sell are difficult to see from the outside world, or are not visible to the outside world.
No wonder this place is called a ghost market. As the name suggests, it specializes in selling some weird and weird things...or, some shady items!
"Where is the person you are talking about?"
Ye Longyuan looked at Jin Qiaoqiao.
He didn't have much curiosity about the ghost market. The only purpose of coming here was to find the headquarters of the Ghost Witch Cult.
"He? He's right at the end of the ghost market!"
Jin Qiaoqiao pointed to the road ahead.
Looking in the direction of her finger, Ye Longyuan could clearly see that at the end of the road ahead, there seemed to be figures, and countless people gathered there.
"Where is that place? Is it the core of the entire ghost city?"
Ye Longyuan asked again.
"Let's go over and take a look and you'll know!"
Jin Qiaoqiao grabbed Ye Longyuan's arm and trotted over.
Following Jin Qiaoqiao into the deepest part of the ghost market, Ye Longyuan also saw that people here formed a circle, and in the middle of the crowd, there was a huge arena.
On the ring, there were two people competing at this time.
The people around him started cheering and shouting, making it very lively!
Seeing Ye Longyuan frown slightly, Jin Qiaoqiao finally explained: "This is the necessary step to meet that person and win the final victory in the ring!"
"Is there any such rule?"
Ye Longyuan folded his hands and looked at the ring with interest.
"Yes, because the ghost market is hosted by the Miaojiang know-it-all, and everything here must obey his rules!"
Jin Qiaoqiao replied, "The final winner can meet the organizer and ask him a question about Miao territory, and he will help you answer it. Generally speaking, being called a know-it-all means that he really knows a lot of things.
