Grudge Breaker

Chapter 129 Spying on the Ghost Market-
"You have no idea where this place is, this is hell! Escape? How to escape?!"

The girl looked crazy and excited. When the other girls saw this, they hid further away if they dared to come near her.

Of course Song Weichen was also afraid, but there was obviously a lot of information in this girl's words. She clearly knew something! .
"How do you know this is hell?"

"Because I grew up here." The girl smiled miserably.

"What did you say?!"

Song Weichen thought this was the scariest thing she had heard since entering this hellish place.

Girls grow up here, but become goods like them? She doesn't look like an ordinary child in terms of clothes, not to mention blood is thicker than water, how can her family allow it? !
Song Weichen had too many questions, but he had to calm the girl down first. She helped the girl back to bed from the floor, then hurriedly went to the bathroom to wring out a wet towel to deal with the blood on her head, then sat next to her and patted her back gently to comfort her.

The other girls were sitting far away at the other end of the room, just staring blankly as if they had been immobilized.

After about half a stick of incense, the girl gradually calmed down and smiled apologetically at Song Weichen with some gratitude.

"My name is Sang Pu, what's your name?"

"My name is Chu Shi, and I am the daughter of the Forty-Two Cave Master."

"Since she is the daughter of the Confidant Lord, why is she imprisoned here, and why do she want to escape?"

The girl laughed sadly, and her whole body was shaking unconsciously while laughing.

"Who says I want to escape? I just don't want to die so miserably."
.
Through the intermittent descriptions on the tenth day of the lunar month, Song Weichen understood one thing. The most taboo thing in Luoyang Ghost City is bad rules. Regardless of status, anything that does not follow the rules will be dealt with accordingly.

The Forty-Two Cave, run by Chu Shi's father, was responsible for selling wild game and rare ingredients. A nobleman was suffering from tuberculosis and needed a hundred bungara snake galls for medicine. He was extremely generous, so her father accepted the job.

Bungaras are already rare. In addition, it is difficult to collect the required quantities. Moreover, some snakes were injured when they were captured and would not survive long. The number of snake gallbladders will only be reduced if the delay is continued.

Seeing the deadline, the noble man's house rushed him, but he couldn't help it. Chu Shi's father finally mixed a piece of krait snake gall and delivered the goods, but he never thought that something happened to this snake gall, and he was arrested by the noble man's house. in force.

Pretending to be fake is a top taboo in Luoyang Ghost Market, and according to the rules, the whole family sits together.

After the incident, Chu Shi was captured and turned into goods in Thirteen Cave, but she didn't dare to think about her father and other clan members, let alone ask.

"The krait, the krait, sounds exactly the same! Besides, it's all snake gallbladder, how can you tell them apart? Is it okay to deny it to death?"

Song Weichen felt very sorry for her. To put it bluntly, flies are also proteins, kumquats are also oranges, and snake gallbladders are everywhere. Human life is at stake, so why take it so seriously.

Chu Shi smiled bitterly. It was only after this calamity that she realized that there was really a difference between the two types of snake bile, especially that of the golden krait. The color of the bile varies according to the seasons. It is dark green in summer and white or light red with yellow in winter; The gallbladder of the krait is orange-yellow. The white bile that flowed out after the snake gall her father had mixed in was really obvious.

"In the final analysis, it's my family's fault for breaking the rules. I can't blame anyone else."

Chu Shi curled up and hugged his knees tightly as he spoke, "But why did you send me here? I just want to die quickly, I just want to die quickly..."
.
Seeing that she was going crazy again on the tenth day of the lunar month, Song Weichen quickly asked the question she wanted to know most.

"Do you know where dried flowers are sold in the ghost market?"

Chu Shi looked at Song Weichen with confused eyes, not understanding why she cared about such a strange issue.

"Aren't you afraid of death? This is the thirteenth hole, aren't you afraid?" "Afraid, but you're not dead yet. Before you die, you have a chance to live. The same goes for you, don't keep thinking about death."

Chu Shi stared at Song Weichen for a long time, then smiled sadly, "Dried flowers are not a rare thing. Apart from Qidong, which is used to make various potions with different functions, I have never heard of anyone else doing this business in the ghost market. However, the ghost master of Qidong has also been doing this recently. If we don’t do it anymore, all the guys in the cave will sell are stock.”

"Good sister, you grew up here. Have you ever seen a big albizia tree in the cave?"

Song Weichen gestured to the tree he had seen outside the window of Buzhuang. It had lush branches and leaves. If it were in the cave, it would definitely be a conspicuous presence.

Chu Shi shook his head and looked at Song Weichen in confusion.

Thinking about it, there was no sunlight in the cave. How could such a big tree grow with photosynthesis? Song Weichen felt that it was unnecessary to ask.

It seemed that she had to find a way to go to the seventh hole. She was thinking in her mind that they were now at the thirteenth hole and would soon send her to the third hole to play the piano. If these strange holes were arranged according to a certain pattern, they would definitely pass by the seventh hole in the middle. There was something interesting!
"By the way, if they are all dead, why are you so afraid of these thirteen holes?"

After Chu Shi saw Song Weichen's mouth shape clearly, his body trembled, and his face instantly lost all color.

"This place and the Fourteenth Hole next door are the most famous hells in the ghost market."
.
I was about to ask again, but there was a rustle on the door. From the sound, I could tell that someone had opened the iron chain lock outside the door. Several girls became nervous instantly. On the tenth day of the month, they huddled tightly against the wall. Song Weichen subconsciously protected her. In front of her.

The four fanged masked men appeared and waved to Song Weichen, "Let's go."

On the tenth day of the month, she heard someone grabbing Song Weichen's sleeves. Her eyes were full of fear and despair. She thought they were going to take her away and "sell" her.

"It's okay, wait until I come back." Smiling and gently shaking her hand, Song Weichen stood up and walked towards the four of them. When he saw them taking out the black blindfold, he waved quickly.

"It's too slippery here. I can't see clearly and I have to hold you up to support me. It's too hard for you. I won't bother you, so I can follow you, okay?"

The masked man who was the leader of the four looked Song Weichen up and down and motioned for her to go out.

"Don't play tricks, or you will suffer."
.
Song Weichen was sandwiched between the four people and followed them up the stairs along the stone path covered with moss and ferns.

She saw the appearance of Luoyang Ghost Market for the first time: the cave was deep and deep, like an ant nest extending in all directions. Speaking of which, the longest ant nest on earth is 965 kilometers long and was discovered in South America. She had no idea why she was thinking of this right now.

A meandering underground river separates the mountain roads on both sides, sometimes forming caves of different sizes, in which houses of various sizes are built. The moss is deep and green with frost, the buildings are hidden in mist, and the lights are shining spectacularly.

There are grooves carved by mountain springs on the cliffs. There is no shortage of drinking water here. And wherever you look, the cracks in the rock walls and the dark riverside are covered with clusters of candles. It must be a sign that the sun shines brightly every day. The expenditure is not small, and the financial resources of this ghost market are evident.
.
Song Weichen followed them all the way up. Although he tried to identify them, he still couldn't identify which one was the seventh hole. I saw an open space in the middle of the mountain. There were rows of stalls on both sides of the road. I guess it was a small distribution center for goods from various caves. Looking from a distance, many of the items on the stalls were things Song Weichen had never seen before, and they reminded her of the scene at the Water Street Night Market.

Thinking of Water Street, Song Weichen naturally thought of Bingtuozi and the big bird. They must have been anxious without news from her for so long... They were anxious! Come and save me quickly, otherwise your aunt will be forced to finish the job!

The open space is bustling with people, and many of them are customers. It is easy to tell - regardless of gender, old or young, they all wear ghost market masks with the same customer logo on their faces, and their identities are extremely private.

"arrive".

The men leading the way stood still. The leader pointed to the large cave with a big "C" sign hanging on the right side of the open area and said to Song Weichen, "This is the third mysterious cave, Xuannv Pavilion."

Xuannv Pavilion? Could it be that it was named after Jiutian Xuannv, the goddess in charge of music in the fairy world? The tone of the border ghost market here is really quite serious, Song Weichen secretly cursed.

She quickly looked at the cave on the left side of the open space. The four big characters "Luoyang Golden Mouth" were very conspicuous with golden light at the entrance. Next to it hung a banner with the word "B". Song Weichen was shocked. Isn't this the same Ding who was in the meeting hall that day? The famous information distribution center for ghost markets mentioned by Tsuruzo?

It seems that the hidden stakes in Sichen's Mansion will often appear here in order to collect and disseminate information. If she wants to attract attention, she can only look for opportunities here!
"What are you doing standing still? What are you planning?"
