[Journey to the West] Trees fall

Chapter 60 Black Market

Behind the curtain, there is another world.

A long alley, large and small pavements are neatly arranged on the left and right sides, and the aisle between the pavements is narrow enough for two people to pass each other, but no one pushes and crowds.

The ceiling is very low, and the milky-white ceiling looks like the finest bone china, so clear that you can faintly see schools of fish swimming by in twos and algae floating everywhere.

That's right, this underground black market was actually built underwater in Wucheng.

Most of the paving owners sat quietly behind the display of goods, and did not get up to solicit business. When someone came to ask for a price, they only looked up and said a few words. Therefore, this underwater black market is actually better than the one on the ground. The market is much cleaner.

Most of the people in the Devil Realm are proud of their own race. Even though their strength is already extraordinary, they still retain the appearance characteristics of their race. Walking on the street, they are often full of all kinds of tails and ears, which makes people dizzy.Here, it is all completely transformed, which is really pleasing to the eye compared with the uneven appearance and uneven ground.

Weight loss, shopping and my husband are the three eternal topics for women, regardless of ancient and modern.

Although the women traveling with them dressed up as men, they still couldn't escape the customs.

Su Jiu walked slowly in front, and her eyes fell on one stall after another of stalls filled with rare treasures. She had to say that "although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs."Look at the black iron plate, the old ginseng with muddy roots, the fist-sized clear water stone, the inconspicuous hairpin...all of them are extraordinary.

The deeper you go, the more rare and difficult to find the objects on display. Sujiu's curiosity was aroused, and she just wanted to go to the innermost place to see what kind of treasure it is, so she simply walked straight to the end. He left behind Huang Lan and Pipa who were carefully selecting and dazzled.

In the end, there was only one stall, and the front blocked the aisle of the long alley, as if it was a symbol of the abrupt end of the long black market.

A fat old man with a big belly and "beads and jade" was sitting there dozing off bit by bit. When he saw someone coming, he opened his eyes and looked around, without lifting his head, and fell asleep again.

Su Jiu was not annoyed, and looked down with a smile.

This shop is particularly simple, even sloppy, with four bamboo poles supporting a piece of green cloth, which serves as the front of the counter.I saw that what is displayed on it is not some rare treasure that makes people jealous, but portraits, there are men and women, old and young, people and beasts.

Among them, the most eye-catching one has a lot of ink, and the writing is exquisite - wearing a milky white jacket embroidered with pink cherry blossoms on cloud brocade and moon satin with a double-breasted collar, and a water-red skirt trimmed with icy stamens and leaves swinging in the air. A pleasing arc, the soft but not messy double-ring bun is paired with five fingernail-sized, light blue-purple fresh bellflowers. With the posture of turning around, the jade bell hanging beside the bun also becomes active, and the girl looks back. With a clever smile, rosy cheeks, and radiant Gu Pan, it seems that she is about to walk out of the painting.

Astonishingly, it was herself.

Needless to say, the painting is really good.

Su Jiu shook her fan slowly, thinking about it, looked up, and saw a banner on the pavement, with seven large characters written wildly: "Money can make ghosts turn the mill".

"Boss, what is this?" Su Jiu had some guesses, but still called out, wanting to clarify.

The fat old man didn't open his eyes this time, and asked in a low voice, "New here?"

"That's right." That's right.

"Go away." The fat old man said impatiently, and waved his hand impatiently.

Su Jiu was bored and not angry, so she just took a folding fan and clicked on her own portrait, and said doubtfully, "But I seem to have seen this little sister before."

"Huh?" The fat old man finally came to his senses, lifted his drowsiness, looked at her dubiously, and asked, "Which one have you seen?"

Su Jiu pointed again with a smile, and said calmly: "I saw it a few days ago."

The fat old man shook his head and asked, "Where is it, and then?"

"Then tell me what these paintings are for first?"

"..."

"It's fine if you don't talk, I'm not particularly interested anyway." Su Jiu turned around arrogantly and was about to leave, counting one, two, three, but she was stopped.

"Hey, come back, come back." Although the fat old man didn't want to pay attention to this cunning young man, he couldn't bear the orders from his superiors, and he must not let go of all useful information. .”

Sujiu suddenly realized: "Oh! Just accepted the reward order and took the head to receive the reward?"

Leading your sister... The fat old man rolled his eyes and explained angrily: "Not always. Although it is not rare to buy a life, there are also people who buy news, ask someone to escort, revenge... In short, as long as the reward is enough, you can do anything. Okay. Here, this girl, if someone in the know provides information about where she is, or directly leads her to the benefactor."

"Investor?"

"It's the person who issued the reward order."

"Then how much benefit can you get by providing information?" Su Jiu acted like a person who couldn't wait to get the reward.

"That's hard to say, but you can see that this painting is so good, and this girl is so beautiful, the reward is the highest in this bunch." No real information was disclosed.

Su Jiu nodded and said with a smile: "I only saw it when I entered the city the day before yesterday. She is about this tall, very lively and clever. I guess she is still in Wucheng now. Seeing that she is alone, she doesn't look like she is in a hurry. It’s not too far to go out of the city.”

The fat old man saw that what she said was almost in line with the information he had obtained, but for some reason, the two people in the order became single. out.

"I'm done talking, then..." Su Jiu stretched out her hand with a smile, begging for a reward.

The fat old man sneered disdainfully, and threw him a heavy purse.

"Hey, thank you, thank you." Su Jiu cupped her hands, smiling like a satiated fox.

After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, the figures of Huang Lan and Pipa came into view. Su Jiu looked at Pipa's plain dress, smiled with eyebrows drawn, and had a plan in mind.

She walked up to a shop with her head held high, she glanced at the owner arrogantly, stretched out her hand, and in the palm of her hand lay a wooden plaque the size of a ginkgo leaf with intricate seal carvings, waiting for the owner to stand up and salute in fear and trembling. , made a silent gesture with a blank face, turned his body slightly, and said in a low voice: "Did you see that one? Yes, that's our eldest lady. Just show the best hospitality for a while, you know , this, right?" As he spoke, he waved the wooden sign in front of his eyes again.

"Young lady obeys, and I will definitely not dare to neglect Miss." The shopkeeper replied decisively with his head lowered almost to his chest.That's Wang Ling!Wang Ling!The ancestral graves are going to emit green smoke!

Su Jiu nodded in satisfaction, and went to the next shop, doing the same.

In this way, until they were not far from Huang Lan and Pipa, Fang walked over solemnly and without distractions, grabbed Huang Lan, and said to Pipa: "I have something to say to him, girl first, you take this, right?" Let me show you my heart." After saying that, he rewarded her with the bounty that he just got.

"Okay, sir, please go ahead." Pipa took the purse in Shen's hand, smiled charmingly, without saying much, went straight forward and continued to pick and choose while walking.

The author has something to say: Keke, Sujiu is going to cheat...

Well, why is this baby so black-bellied, I don’t know who she looks like~
