Chapter 334 Treasure Hunting in Dragon Palace
"A ruthless character has come to Wujian World. From Tiexinyuan to Tongten Pavilion, there are corpses all the way!"
"You mean he has many lives?"
"I mean, he kills without blinking an eye, and a lot of people have been killed."
"This seems a bit breaking the rules?"
"Rules? People on earth have rules. You have to have rules when applying for a license, you have to have rules when looking for people to do things, and you have to have rules when a child changes his seat at school.
But we are always the freest, and we never talk about such things. Down here, we only talk about how to survive, not how to live.
This also unintentionally reduced a lot of troubles and confusions. Things that I couldn't figure out on earth before were now understood underground.
I love it endlessly, it has given me a new life, so I can't watch it be destroyed. To be honest, I'm afraid it will be over. ”
"Then what are you going to do? Find that person? Wujian is like a sea without lights, you can't see your fingers. If you want to find someone here, it is harder than fishing for a needle."
"Difficult? Not difficult! That man is currently selling something at [Dragon Palace], a completely transparent sixteen-sided dice."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!?"
There was the sound of hurried footsteps in the cave, as if someone was running towards the outside.
……
The Dragon Palace is said to be located somewhere under the sea, or perhaps not at the bottom of the sea.
Anyway, it is a place with a lot of water and treasures, and it is also the place where the Dragon King lives.
In many strange legends, magic weapons are hidden in the Dragon Palace. For example, Sun Wukong's golden cudgel was obtained from the Dragon Palace.
The [Dragon Palace] in the Infernal World is actually a place where people trade.
Maybe it’s because it’s located in an underwater cave, or maybe it’s because there are always some unexpected rare treasures here. Anyway, it’s called: Dragon Palace.
There is no day and night in Wujian, it only consists of sleeping time and non-sleeping time.
But everyone's biological clock is different.
Some people go to bed earlier, and some people are still very energetic even when others are yawning non-stop.
Some people sleep all day long, and their waking hours are shorter than those of lions on the grassland.
Above ground, such people are clearly "lazy", but below ground, nothing matters.
It is a good thing that many people have staggered waking and sleeping times. Everyone is a neighbor who is not allowed to worship, so there are fewer disputes.
But in Dragon Palace, because of the tide, there is "day" and "night".
Almost half of the time, the tide flooded the entire cave, and even the best swimmers did not dare to swim in it. The hermits called this period "dark night".
At the other half of the time, the tide receded, revealing a road with piles of rocks for walking. Many people walked in holding candles and found a place to sit or stand there. The candles illuminated the cave, which was for "Day".
During the day, hermits with items or desires gather here, some sell things, and some buy needs.
Yin Xiu sat down in a corner of the Dragon Palace. Next to him was a burning rhinoceros horn, emitting a strange fragrance.
He was now dressed like the merchants here, wearing a large black cloak, hiding his face in the shadows.
In this already dark cave, such attire made the people in the Dragon Palace look more like shadows and floating ghosts.
After all the merchants found their seats and sat down, Yin Xiu didn't rush to get up and move around. She just took out the wine bottle from her arms and drank sip after sip.
I don't know when it started, but a dark shadow appeared in front of him, silent and like a ghost.
Yin Xiu calmly moved the rhinoceros horn a little closer to her, and the man's shadow fell on the ground normally. It was obvious that he was a living person, not a lonely ghost.
In this way, Yin Xiucai raised his head to look at him.
Also in the same outfit, two fires swayed in the shadows.
"What do you want?" Yin Xiu asked.
"I want to become an immortal and become the Jade Emperor."
Yin Xiu shook his head, "We don't sell these things here."
"Then what do you have?" asked the voice under the cloak.
"Let me see what I have."
Yin Xiu shook her sleeves and stretched out her hand, holding a piece of peach wood struck by lightning.
"Very nice lightning strike wood."
The man didn't reach out to take it, "Whether it's for making utensils or anything else, it's very good, but it's too small and I can't use it."
"I understand."
Yin Xiu fluttered his sleeve again and stretched out his other hand.
This hand holds a string of rosary beads, and the amber lines seem to be soaked in some scarlet.
"This string of beads looks very much like something belonging to an old friend of mine. Let me guess, it belongs to the Chief Maha of Wenshu Monastery of Hongde Temple?"
Yin Xiu smiled and said, "I don't know. I'm only responsible for selling. I don't ask about the origin."
"You know, you know very well."
The voice under the cloak was not angry, but rather relaxed and carefree.
"I don't believe in Buddhism, and I'm not a collector. I have no use for this thing."
"Really?"
There was some regret in Yin Xiu's voice, "That's a pity, I have nothing else to sell."
"It's a pity indeed. See you next time."
The man walked away, his footsteps still soundless, like a ghost.
Selling things and buying things are the same, the difference is just to pick and choose yourself, or wait for others to pick and choose. Sometimes it takes a little patience and luck.
After talking to a few more people, Yin Xiu still didn't sell what she had in hand.
Underground, things such as permanent light sources, efficient fuels, and well-preserved sugar and salt are the most in demand. As for things like magical artifacts, not many people are interested.
Just when Yin Xiu thought that he would not gain anything from this trip today, beside him, the firelight on the rhinoceros horn began to flicker.
The light blue fire seemed to be disturbed by the wind, swayed twice, and then returned to normal, illuminating an extremely long figure that was stretched.
Yin Xiu looked up, and in front of him stood a very thin and tall man.
The cloak on him looked like a coat draped over a bamboo pole. It looked extremely uncoordinated and revealed a strangeness that was visible to the naked eye.
"What do you want?" Yin Xiu asked.
"What do you have?"
"I only sell two kinds of things here, one is what others want, and the other is what others don't want."
"Hehe, hehe..."
The sound of the man's laughter was like the cold wind blowing from the sewer. It only made people feel itchy eardrums and inexplicable goosebumps on their hands.
"What I want is in your hands."
"Huh?"
The man didn't care about Yin Xiu's question, but stuck his hand out of his sleeve to shake hands with him.
The man's hand was as thin as a bone, pale and craggy. It looked like it had been borrowed from a morgue somewhere, or picked up on the roadside. Anyway, it was not part of a normal human body.
Not like a living person, this was Yin Xiu's first thought.
But he still didn't hesitate, reached out and gently held the other person's hand.
A sticky, cold feeling immediately spread through the fingers and penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
It was not a deliberately created feeling, but something that came naturally.
It's like touching a piece of ice or a ball of fire with your hand, feeling cold or hot, a quite natural feeling.
The two sides did not use handshakes to test and compete like in those folklore or martial arts novels.
Their handshake seems to be really just a handshake, just a ceremonial exchange and contact, with no intention of anything else.
"I wonder what you call me, sir?"
"In Wujian, the name is the least important thing."
At this moment, Yin Xiu responded to his words softly with a "local" attitude, her words were relaxed and casual.
"It's my fault, sir, but if you want, you can call me Fang Yin."
"Fang Yin?"
"Yes, of course this is not the name that everyone on earth called me before, but after arriving in Wujian, I decided to live in seclusion in one side, so I chose such a name."
"Okay, I understand."
After Yin Xiu shook his hand lightly again, he took his hand back and wiped it on his clothes.
"You said I have what you want, what do you mean?"
Hearing the question, Fang Yin chuckled again.
"Destiny, you hold destiny in your hands, something that everyone wants to control."
Yin Xiu looked at him silently, only feeling that what Chun Dai said was indeed correct, that is, there are indeed many crazy people in this world.
Some people use a clay statue as a Bodhisattva, and some people use a carp as an idol. This is an underground world full of strange things.
"Oh? It seems you already know?" Yin Xiu asked.
"It's not too late to know. It's just right. But I don't know if anyone has come to ask about the price? Have we negotiated?" Fang Yin asked.
"They are all people who don't know the goods. Few have asked, and even fewer can get started."
"Then you have now met someone who knows the goods."
Fang Yin's tone contained a kind of indifference that should be taken for granted.
Yin Xiu stopped talking, but looked at him calmly again.
Fang Yin's clothes didn't have those unique cloud patterns of Qi Refiners, but they were just the same as others and Yin Xiu's clothes, with no other traces except that they were all black.
And his demeanor and face were hidden in the shadows under the cloak, making it impossible to discern the slightest clue.
After a pause, Yin Xiu reached out and took out the sixteen-sided dice from his pocket.
The dice made of crystal reflected an almost pure white light under the illumination of the rhinoceros horn, making Yin Xiu's hands look white as snow.
At the same time, Fang Yin's eyes were also affected by the light.
In the darkness, there were two candlelights swaying and shaking, as if something was flowing.
But Yin Xiu could faintly see that there was a kind of excitement and urgency visible to the naked eye.
"Sir, it's not convenient to talk here. If you can trust me, why not go to my house and talk to me. I have prepared fine wine and..."
Yin Xiu stretched out her hand to interrupt him, "I'm only here at [Dragon Palace], I won't go anywhere else."
"Sir, please let me finish, I mean I have prepared wine and beautiful women..."
"What are you still doing? Let's go!"
