A string of red lanterns suddenly appeared in front of them, floating in the air like will-o'-the-wisps. After walking a certain distance, the fog in front of them suddenly dissipated a lot.
"mask."
Luo Xing immediately understood that he had to put on the face he had prepared. Although there was no restriction on using the front face when entering the ghost market, everyone had agreed to use a mask or disguise, a pseudonym or a code name.
Hongying was wearing a pink mask with the image of a little girl. The image was quirky and a bit fairy-like, resembling the little fairies enshrined in the temple to serve the spiritual officials, while he bought a mask with a monkey face.
The mask is based on a certain fond memory from childhood.
"Why are you a monkey?"
"What's wrong with monkeys? Maybe we humans actually evolved from monkeys."
"We are monkeys, evolution, Luo Xiaoqi, are you out of your mind? How could you say such nonsense?" Hong Ying snorted and scolded disdainfully.
Luo Xiaoqi's words were too deviant for her.
The two bickered all the way and continued forward until they reached the entrance of the "Ghost Market".
"Hongxing!"
"Master Black and White." Two masked men, one black and one white, floated over like ghosts.
Luo Xing was secretly happy, weren't these two black and white and impermanent?
Except for not wearing the hat of "making money at first sight" and "peace of the world" and having an elongated tongue, he is no different from the "black and white impermanence" of the underworld gods in Luo Xing's memory.
Luo Xing also followed the red shadow and saluted, respectfully calling him "The Lord Black and White".
Venerable Bai glanced at Luo Xing: "Newcomer?"
"yes."
"Is there a guarantor?" asked the Black Lord.
"Yes." Under the instructions from Hongying's eyes, Luo Xing quickly took out a bronze medal from his arms and handed it over.
Lord Black stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at it, and immediately retracted: "It turns out that Miss Yulian recommended it."
Only then did Luo Xing know that the flower name used by "Yu Gongzi" in the ghost market was "Yulian". She was a woman and lived in a lotus house, so the name "Yulian" was suitable.
"Miss Hongxing, are you his introducer?"
"Yes."
"Okay, the identity is approved." Venerable Black did not ask about Luo Xing's identity and gave him approval directly, and then said, "Comrade, you can choose a pseudonym. I will register it here and leave later.
At that time, I will give you the identity certificate of the ghost market."
"Yes, Your Majesty, but if I don't have an identity document, how can I spend money in the ghost market?"
"Consumption?"
"It means shopping."
"It doesn't matter, I will give you a newbie card, which will give you one hundred ghost coins. This is a gift from the ghost market to every newcomer. You can use it to buy what you want, as long as you are in the ghost market, except
Ghost Guard, no one can do anything to you." Venerable White explained.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Luo Xing thanked him quickly. No wonder he had to "lead in security" to enter the ghost market. This quota is worth a hundred taels of gold.
The conversion ratio of ghost coins to gold is one to one. In fact, if it is actually exchanged, the exchange rate is much higher than this. Gold is not difficult to obtain, but items in the ghost market may not be able to be purchased with gold.
Luo Xing took on the alias of "Westward Traveler", got a novice card, and left a wisp of true energy, which was used to make his identity certificate.
Therefore, non-warriors cannot enter the ghost market.
The ghost market is only open to warriors.
The entrance to the Luojing Ghost Market is a large cave. After entering, you still need to walk a long way. Their horses do not need to be carried and are left to the care of a dedicated person. Of course, you have to pay, one ghost coin per time.
As soon as I entered, I spent money. This ghost market is indeed a gold-selling cave that deserves its reputation.
There seemed to be more than one entrance. Luo Xing and Hong Ying walked along and saw people wearing masks and cloaks coming in. They all came in the same direction.
A huge underground lake, with sparkling waves and ripples on the surface, looks mysterious and deep. This is the magic of nature.
Luo Xing has never been to this place, and he judges that it has entered the depths of the Dangshan Mountains. The geological structure here, in Blue Star's professional terminology, is karst landform.
"This is the ferry boat. We will have to take his boat to reach the ghost market later. One ghost coin per person at a time, two coins for the round trip." Hong Ying whispered to Luo Xingjie's sentinel boat parked on the simple dock of the dark lake, "
If there is a group of ten people, if there is not enough, we will set off in a quarter of an hour."
When Luo Xing and the others arrived, there were already five or six people in front of them. Plus eight of them. With two more people, the boat could set off.
They didn't have to wait long before two people arrived, wearing identical masks and even the same costumes. They looked like twin brothers.
As for what the face behind the mask looks like, that's not clear.
No one spoke, just waiting silently.
When everyone gathered, the boatman in a raincoat stood up and called for people to upload. Luo Xingmu could see at night and had long discovered that the boatman was not only a warrior, but also had a high level of cultivation. The pulp he used in his hands was actually made of fine iron.
, that he can mention it easily must be extraordinary.
The position on the ship has obviously been arranged long ago.
Everyone boarded the boat according to the order and did their job. The boatman smiled "Jie Jie" in an indescribable way, and then the slender boat cut through the waves and headed towards an unknown direction.
What a fast speed!
Luo Xing, who came here for the first time, felt that everything was novel, but he could still keep his inner feelings and not show it too much.
He didn't want to show his timidity in front of this little girl Hong Ying.
Without a reference, Luo Xing could not tell which direction the ship was heading. His intuition told him that it might be heading south, but this thought came together.
The "black bell" rang in his mind, telling him that the ship was heading west.
This guy turns out to know everything, and he can also sense direction?
Soon, after breaking through a section of mist-shrouded water, the front suddenly opened up, and an underground city that stunned Luo Xing appeared in front of him.
It's so spectacular.
He didn't believe what he was seeing was real.
Although the pier was not crowded with people, the crowds of people were definitely not illusory or fake, nor did they look like a mirage.
There are also various buildings, streets, lights...
This kind of shock was something that even Luo Xing had not experienced in his previous life. Human beings indeed have unparalleled creativity and imagination. How much manpower and force would it take to build such an underground city?
"Hongxing, are there any aborigines in the ghost market?" After landing on the shore and standing on the wide pier, Luo Xing couldn't help but ask Hongying.
He had crammed in a lot of information about the ghost market, but the information on paper always felt too superficial. Only seeing it with one's own eyes would be the most intuitive.
"You mean the people who live here, right?" Hongying said.
"Um."
"The three major ghost markets all have ethnic groups that live in the ghost market. They have served the ghost market for generations. We call them 'ghost tribe'." Hongying explained.
"Ghost tribe, aren't they humans?"
"They are human beings, but they have practiced a method suitable for living in darkness underground. Although they can also go to the surface, the underground environment is more suitable for them."
"Is there such a magical skill?"
"The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders, and there are many that you haven't seen before." Hongying snorted. In her eyes, Luo Xing was just a low-class person with a little ability. This perception existed from the first meeting.
.
Luo Xing smiled and was too lazy to argue with her: "Where are we going now?"
"What did you come to the ghost market to find?"
"Some rare medicinal materials and ores." Luo Xing said, "Also, I want to buy some medical books. I heard they can only be found in the ghost market."
"Every time a medical book comes out, many doctors rush to buy it. It usually takes ten and a half months to get one out," Hong Ying said.
"so little?"
"Aren't you a doctor? Why don't you even know this?"
"I'm just a dabbler. I don't understand many things." Luo Xing smiled.
The red shadow behind the mask rolled his eyes. Everyone has secrets. Luo Xiaoqi clearly has many secrets in her body. Your Highness doesn't care about it, and she doesn't want to get into trouble.
Along the way, I found that there were quite a few stalls on the roadside, but the items they sold were basically not seen outside, and there were also food.
Strong flavor.
Especially those selling live animals, such as the cubs and eggs of some ferocious beasts, as well as various poisons. Luo Xing saw a colorful spider, as big as an adult's fist, and a centipede as thick as a baby's arm.
…
All kinds of venomous snakes are scary to look at.
These things are openly displayed on the roadside for sale, and the prices are not low.
There is also a slave trade here, where the boys and girls are kept in iron cages, hung in the air in a majestic manner, and put on display for sale.
