No matter how overbearing Feiyu Tang is, he doesn't dare to trouble Lin Ye in the Qi Barracks, and no matter how overbearing he is, he doesn't dare to trouble Lin Ye in the ghost market.
Therefore, when Lin Ye came out of the ghost market, it was probably when they were looking for trouble.
Zhuang Junji didn't seem to understand Lin Ye. He only had three days of rest, so why not spend three days with his family?
The people in Feiyutang must also be feeling aggrieved. They don't dare to cause trouble in Qi Barracks, they don't dare to rush into the ghost market, and they don't dare to break into Lin Ye's family.
Just waiting for Lin Ye to go out.
He asked Lin Ye: "This kind of place has nothing to do with you, why did you come?"
Lin Ye raised his hand and patted the small leather bag on his belt: "I want to spend money."
Zhuang Junji looked at his small leather bag and sighed: "The maximum denomination of Dayu Tongdui's banknotes is ten thousand taels. If your small bag is already full of banknotes, can you hold dozens of them?"
Lin Ye took his hand away from his bag and didn't want to talk anymore.
There wasn't even ten thousand taels in his little leather bag. To be precise, there were only nearly one thousand taels.
For ordinary people, one thousand taels is already an extremely large sum of money. With such a sum of money, a family of four can spend more than 30 to 50 years using it as long as it is not wasted.
But in a place like the ghost market, with a thousand taels of silver, probably no one would even look at you.
"what do you want to buy?"
Zhuang Jun asked.
Lin Ye said: "I want to make a handy weapon."
Zhuang Junji nodded: "I understand."
He led Lin Ye to the main house of the vacant courtyard and stamped his feet on the ground a few times. After a while, the ground shook.
A secret passage appeared in front of Lin Ye. Looking down, the steps seemed to have no end.
Zhuang Junji clasped his fists in the corner and saluted, and someone replied: "Mr. Zhuang, you don't have to be polite. You are a regular customer. Come in quickly."
Lin Ye followed Zhuang Junji down the steps. He had just taken two steps when he heard footsteps behind him. Looking back, he saw seven or eight women wearing long skirts and covering their faces. They were all wearing the same color and style.
Wearing a veil, walking gracefully, with a graceful figure.
Zhuang Junji didn't even look back, he just sighed softly.
Lin Ye walked down and looked around. He could see many stone pillars on both sides, each one as thick as an arm's length.
You can still vaguely see the wood piled up in the corner. It is probably that the wooden piles originally supporting this place were changed to stone pillars later.
We walked down the stairs for nearly a mile before we reached the end. Although we were going down a slope, Lin Ye calculated that the straight height should be no less than twenty feet.
The front suddenly opened up, the lights became brighter, and there were many vendors on the roadside. When they saw Zhuang Junji arriving, they all stood up and saluted.
It seems that Zhuang Junji is quite a celebrity here. From the attitude of these vendors, it can be seen that he must not be stingy in his dealings.
Almost all the vendors you can see when you first enter the ghost market are selling stones, in different sizes and shapes.
Although Lin Ye had never seen such a scene, he had heard a little bit about gambling stones.
Even the common people have heard the saying about gambling on stones... One sword will lead to heaven, one sword will lead to hell.
As we walked forward, we saw that there were no less than a few hundred stone gambling vendors. Lin Ye originally thought that this was a top-notch profit-making industry, but here it was the most commonplace.
Walking about two miles further, you can see that the environment here has changed a lot.
Most of the shops are only separated by stone walls and are not large in scale. The items they sell look really dazzling.
Zhuang Junji asked as he walked: "Can you guess why there are so many stone gambling stalls in this ghost market?"
Lin Ye said: "The earthquake more than a hundred years ago was not an earthquake?"
Zhuang Junji glanced at Lin Ye appreciatively.
"More than a hundred years ago, mineral deposits were accidentally discovered in Yunzhong City. The border troops secretly mined them under the orders of Emperor Yu, but they did not expect that the ground would subside."
Zhuang Junji looked at Lin Ye and said: "After the earthquake, all the people were moved out of the city, but in fact, most of the residences in the city were not destroyed."
Lin Ye: "In order to cover up the truth, you will not hesitate to overthrow it?"
Zhuang Junji: "Probably."
As he walked, he said: "It's just that there's no way to find the truth about this matter. All I know is just rumors."
He said: "There is another theory that is even more incredible... Some people say that the mineral deposits discovered under Yunzhou City at that time were the original stones of the manganese stone."
"Following the orders of Emperor Jade, the border troops created a false impression and spent several months transporting away the raw stones and a large number of jade crystals."
As Lin Ye listened to these words, those pictures began to appear in his mind.
Zhuang Junji said: "So, who can tell clearly whether the original stone of Measuring Light came from Shangyang Palace?"
He pointed forward: "There may be what you are looking for over there."
In front of it is a shop, which is the same as the shop we saw before, except that the walls on both sides are made of stones.
It doesn't look very high-end, at least here, it is very ordinary, but since there is a shop, it is very different from those vendors.
There are so many people in the stone gambling business at the entrance of the ghost market, they are all small players doing business without capital.
They rummaged around in the mines of this ghost market and were lucky enough to find something really good, and they suddenly became famous.
The reason why Lin Ye could guess it was because it was the only reasonable explanation.
The entrance to the ghost market is so small that it is impossible for a large amount of stones to be transported in from outside. If so, the people would have already noticed it.
All the items for sale in the ghost market come from the mines and are things that originally existed.
In the beginning, the ghost market probably only dealt with this single business, but gradually it became larger and became an out-of-this-world place in the world.
Lin Ye thought that with so many stone betting businesses outside the door, not many of them might be able to make money.
None of the people who entered the ghost market were ordinary people. Most of them had high levels of cultivation and deep internal energy.
People who have reached the Diocesan realm can use their inner strength to explore the rocks to see if there are any good things.
They kept walking forward, followed by the seven or eight women in long skirts behind them.
Their goals were clear and they didn't shy away from it, they just stared at Lin Ye.
Lin Ye and the others stopped and walked, and so did they, always keeping a sufficient distance.
"Mr. Zhuang!"
At this moment, the owner of the shop in front came out to welcome me with a smile on his face.
Mr. Zhuang clasped his fists: "Mr. Yuan."
He said to Lin Ye: "There may be something you are looking for in Mr. Yuan's treasure house. Please ask Mr. Yuan to help introduce it."
Mr. Yuan looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a long beard and a kind-hearted appearance.
He asked Zhuang Junji: "Who is this?"
Zhuang Jun laughed and said, "My little brother."
Mr. Yuan said: "Since he is Mr. Zhuang's brother, then you can trust him and come with me."
He asked Lin Yedao: "What do you want?"
Lin Ye said: "If you want to make a weapon, the most important thing is that the weapon should not be too big, but it must be heavy."
Mr. Yuan nodded: "Yes."
He turned around and motioned to the assistant to carry out the innermost box, and the two assistants went up.
Not long after, carrying a small box that was only about one and a half feet tall came out, which turned out to be particularly difficult for the two big men.
The clothes on the arms of these two people were tightened, which shows how much force was used.
Judging from the size of this box, even if it is filled with gold, it will not exceed 200 kilograms.
It is inferred that the contents of this box are much heavier than gold of the same size.
Mr. Yuan pointed to the open space: "Put it over there, be careful."
Lin Ye saw that the two of them were moving too slowly, and wanted to test the weight, so he stepped forward.
Lin Ye's behavior is breaking the rules. The master has not allowed you to see it, but if you come forward, in this ghost market, you will be regarded as someone who is trying to rob you.
As long as Mr. Yuan shouts loudly, men in black called Yaksha from the ghost market will come over. All of these people have advanced cultivation.
Probably because of Zhuang Junji's reputation, although Mr. Yuan looked a little unhappy, he didn't say anything.
Lin Ye went over and took the box over, carrying it with one hand. His face was already filled with joy, but his smile was blocked by his mask and no one else could see it.
Zhuang Jun smiled and asked, "How?"
Lin Ye: "It's a suitable weight for me."
Zhuang Junji said: "As long as it's suitable, you don't have to search hard anymore."
Lin Ye thought of Zinai's strange power, shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not using it, so it's a little light, but it's just enough. I'll look for something better in the future."
At this time, Mr. Yuan was already surprised. The contents of the box weighed no less than 400 kilograms. It seemed that little brother Zhuang Junji could lift it with one hand without much effort.
His previous displeasure was washed away by this shock.
"This is black water immersed gold, commonly known as immersed iron. It is an excellent material for forging aircraft."
When Lin Ye heard this, he shook his head slightly.
Flying weapons are something that only the absolute strongest at Wuyue Realm and above can use. He, who is at the Qiming Realm, will probably never be able to use them.
If the materials are good, practitioners who are at the Diocesan Realm of five rays or above can also use weapons to control Qi, but time and distance are very limited.
Lin Ye had seen the ceremonial priest from Tianshui Cliff use a flying weapon, which directly shocked the master's wife Lei Hongliu.
Later I thought about it, the Priest Si Li may not have reached the Wuyue Realm, but his short blade was made of excellent material and was small and light.
Lin Ye has no inner strength and cannot make the weapon fly.
"Shen Tie..."
Zhuang Junji was thoughtful when he heard this name.
Lin Ye asked: "Mr. Yuan, how much does this thing cost?"
Zhuang Junji said: "You can buy it if you want."
Mr. Yuan said: "Mr. Zhuang is a regular customer and good friend of mine. If Mr. Zhuang's brother wants it, I will naturally not sell it at a high price. It's a thousand taels."
Lin Ye felt relieved for a while, as he had brought just enough.
He nodded and said, "That's it."
Just as he was about to take out the banknotes, Mr. Yuan said, "You three, please sit down for a moment. I'll have someone serve tea to you. The heavy iron is very strong and hard to cut. It needs to be cut slowly with a diamond wire. It will take more than half an hour."
"
Lin Ye: "Cut?"
Mr. Yuan: “No?”
Lin Ye pointed to the box: "It's not much, why bother cutting it."
Mr. Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, it's not much, so I have to cut it."
Zhuang Junji knew that Lin Ye had misunderstood, so he pulled Lin Ye and said, "You didn't ask clearly."
He looked at Mr. Yuan, and Mr. Yuan immediately smiled apologetically and said, "I didn't explain clearly. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but this heavy iron is sold for two, and one tael of heavy iron is worth one thousand taels of silver."
Lin Ye was stunned.
The contents of this box are about 400 kilograms. If you buy one tael for one thousand taels, how much does it cost for 400 kilograms?
Mr. Yuan said: "Even if you are at the Diocesan Realm with a strength of five rays or above, one tael of this heavy iron is enough to make a flying weapon, but to make a needle, the power is not small."
He asked Lin Ye: "Little brother, how is your state?"
When Lin Ye was silent, Zhuang Junji suddenly woke up and his eyes gradually opened wide.
Because he realized that Lin Ye wanted to buy the whole piece of heavy iron!
Either Lin Ye didn't know what this thing was at all, or Lin Ye didn't know what cultivation was at all.
Heavy iron is a natural treasure for making aircraft. It can perfectly absorb human inner energy and achieve ultra-high strength without forging.
If one needle is one tael, the needle will probably only be of the junior level, not much more.
If it can be used as a gift, this thing is enough, and it can definitely be called a valuable gift.
The reason why heavy iron is so valuable is that it does not need to be forged but can be forged. It is extremely meltable and can melt two needles into one. Wouldn't that mean it is just a larger needle?
Zhuang Junji looked at Lin Ye, with a questioning look in his eyes.
Lin Ye was thinking, is there anything here worth four million taels?
Doesn't it seem sloppy and outrageous?
From Lin Ye's expression, Zhuang Junji could tell that this little brother probably didn't even know what a ghost market was.
He also had a very weak understanding of what cultivation was about.
