Shendou Continent

Chapter 109 Lost in the Ghost City
There are many bazaars in the Shendou Continent, but there is a curfew in general cities, the city gates are closed at night, and the market is not allowed to open, so the bazaars are also held during the day.It's just that people's trading needs are regardless of morning and evening, so there is a sneaky trading behavior at night, which gradually develops into a "ghost market".

When people are driving at night, they will accidentally see "figures floating, flickering" on the riverside, and they think they have encountered "ghosts". In fact, this is a mysterious ghost market.This kind of market is relatively hidden, so some things of unknown origin are also traded here, such as private salt, which is a relatively common thing.As an important seasoning material, salt is related to people's livelihood and is generally controlled by officials.However, despite the huge profits, some people still take risks, so this ghost market has become the best trading place for private salt.

It's nighttime now, and Lin You is walking through Zhonghe Ghost City in Yangzhou, not to buy salt, but to track down Liu Fei'er, one of the Four Beauties of God Fighting during the day.Listening to the news along the way, Lin You also knew that the "Liu Feier" who appeared during the day was not the real Liu Feier, but someone pretending to be assassinated.Using the identity of Shendou Simei, it was the magistrate of Yangzhou who killed him. Under the eyes of everyone, he danced to the magistrate's hand.Lin You didn't want to be nosy at first, but when he heard the words "Qintai remnants", he couldn't ignore it, so after the incident happened during the day, he followed the escaped "Liu Fei'er" from afar.

Due to the assassination of the magistrate, Yangzhou City has already closed the city gate, and there are policemen everywhere in the city to catch the "female thief".The "female thief" named "Liu Fei'er" naturally wouldn't leave the city from the city gate. I don't know if she was running for her life in a hurry or looking for some other way out of the city, but Lin You followed her not too far away. .He also followed the Zhonghe Ghost City between the turns and turns.In the ghost market, there are also arresters from Yangzhou and people from the Yangzhou Thousand Households Office who are looking for people. Needless to say, this arrester, and the Yangzhou Thousand Households Office is the local garrison.

He followed all the way, and it was completely dark at this time, so he took a torch from the ghost market and continued to follow.But the strange thing is that there seems to be no sign of "Liu Fei'er" after following the ghost city to the end.Followed and lost, and further along the river is the water gate of Yangzhou. This "female thief" probably won't go through this gate, and the gate has been closed at this time.

Will it hide in other streets and alleys?Lin You carefully recalled the details of the tracking, and then looked at the nearby streets and rivers, after reading it again and again, he made up his mind to continue walking along the river toward the city gate.However, when he was approaching the city gate, he did not find any trace of the "female thief", so he had to stop, otherwise he would be interrogated by the city guards.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly found that the river at the city gate seemed a bit strange. He stood near the river, closed his eyes and carefully perceived the condition of the river with his soul power, but found that the river at the city gate was a little different. It seems to be connected to an underground corridor.Now he was even more interested, and followed the direction of the suspected underground corridor, and found that the entrance of this corridor was in a deserted back alley not far from the end of the ghost city just now.

So, he went back to the end of this ghost city, found this back alley where there was no one, and followed the direction of perception, but found that it was a wall. He tried to push and feel on the wall, trying to find some mechanism, but After searching for a long time, I didn't find it.Just as he was about to leave, an inadvertent movement of his right hand suddenly triggered the mechanism of the door, and a gap soon appeared in the door, following the gap, Lin Yi pushed the door open with all his strength.It turned out to be a secret passage. It didn't look like it was dug by manpower, but more like a natural cave, but the entrance seemed to be sealed later. It felt like the imperial court sealed the road, but someone else made a trap.

After finding the way, Lin You entered the underground passage regardless of the danger.This is a karst cave tunnel formed by the erosion of underground water all the year round. The road is very narrow at the beginning, and gradually becomes larger as it walks.Looking at it with a torch, there are many stalactites and stalagmites, which were gradually formed after millions of years of accumulation.In some places, the stalactites on the top of the cave are connected with the stalagmites on the ground, forming strange stone pillars.The wide part of the cave is like a square, the narrow part is like a promenade, and the high part is nearly ten feet high. The whole cave has twists and turns.Now is the dry season, there is water in some areas, and some pools with stagnant water.Where there is a lot of water, the underground rivers fall at the slope breaks, and there are some echoes.

Continuing to walk forward, Lin You felt that he was already out of the city, even some distance away.Gradually, some voices appeared in front of him. After following the voices, he turned a few more turns, and he was surprised to find that there were quite a few figures in front of him, and the lights of the fire were much brighter.When I got closer, I realized that it was actually another market. In this underground cave that would be dark without torches, there was actually another market. It turned out that this was the real ghost market!
On both sides of the gradually widening river, Lin You saw some busy figures. There was a stall selling snakes and insects. The stall owner was still having dinner, and the food turned out to be spiders and centipedes; The face is like a shoehorn, but it is gray-haired and looks not young; there is also a player who looks like a man but not a man, with four hands, one hand holds the piano, the other plays, and the other holds the flute. With one hand beating the drum, the huqin is played very well.Lin You was stunned to see such a mysterious place.Gradually walking in, it became more and more lively. There were people selling illegal salt, news, daily groceries, everyone, and some powerful spirit beasts were used for sale.

At a corner, Lin You heard the sound of fighting.Following the sound, at another fork in the cave, he saw "Liu Fei'er". At this time, she was fighting with two people who looked like government officials, and she was obviously discovered.The government was able to track it down here, so they obviously knew about this ghost city, but they didn't know if they knew the entrance to the city.

Lin You "stands by" and observes carefully.The woman still seemed to have the upper hand, and after a while, she injured the two officials and fled.Lin You continued to follow the woman.But soon, after turning two corners, he was stopped by the woman.

"Who are you? Why have you been following me?" "Liu Fei'er" asked sharply, apparently ready to attack.

"I came across a strange thing, just curious to see it." Lin You replied unhurriedly, he felt that she was the only one near him with a breath of soul power, and his heart was also indifferent.

"Curiosity?" "Liu Fei'er" obviously didn't believe it, and immediately said, "Then give me a palm!" Then he killed her.

Lin You jumped up high, but he didn't notice for a while, and hit the stalactite on the top. When he fell, he realized that he was in a cave near the underground river.But before he could cry out the pain, he immediately took a slap from her.This palm was really ruthless, and it already made him stare at him.

However, for a fighter who transforms the realm, this is nothing.Soon, he turned over and jumped up. Just as he was thinking of saying something, he found that "Liu Fei'er" had rushed over with his sword...
