Chapter 34: The
Third Black Rat of the Ghost Market, a famous local rat in Shanghai, is the most unruly, greedy and cunning one in the tomb robbing business, but he is also the most difficult to deal with and the most feared one. He is The Lone Ranger, there were many people who wanted to deal with him, but without exception they all suffered a big loss and gave up. Slowly, the reputation of Black Rat Lao San became more and more famous in Shanghai's underworld, at least it had reached the level where Liu Tianyou Everyone has heard of his name.
After learning that this blood jade pendant was sold to Gu Baoxuan by Black Rat Lao San, Mao Ningchuan immediately asked Liu Tianyou to take people back to the Liu Mansion. As for how Gu Baoxuan's Hu Guiqing would apologize to him later, it was not Mao Ningchuan. Things that need to be dealt with.
Yan Daoxing suspected that the blood jade pendant was related to the third side mission, so he took the initiative to go with Mao Ningchuan to find the third black rat. So the two of them changed their Taoist robes, put on casual clothes, and came to Shanghai. The most famous place in the underworld - the ghost market!
It is naturally impossible for a ghost market to appear during the day. When the sun sets and the sky becomes dark, words, words and deeds follow Mao Ningchuan to the ghost market hidden in a messy, dilapidated, half-abandoned house.
There was silence in the ghost market. Unless a customer saw something he wanted and bargained with the boss in a low voice, there was no unnecessary sound. What's more, there were many people covering their faces and figures, making it difficult to see clearly. It seemed that among the stall owners and the customers, there were people who concealed their identities, accounting for nearly half.
After looking around, Mao Ningchuan and Yan Daoxing looked at each other and whispered something to separate. The two of them separated as if they had seen something they liked, and quickly blended into the crowd. .
While Yan Daoxing was looking at the things on the stall, he used his peripheral vision to look at the people standing around. These people were also constantly looking at the pedestrians buying things. It was obviously similar to soliciting customers to do transactions secretly. Ghost Although the market cannot be seen in the light, the items released on the surface are all legal items that can withstand inspection. As for those items that truly deserve the name of the ghost market, they are all in the dark. If you want to buy them, you must go through Only those who stand around the ghost market can.
After looking around for a short while, Yan Daoxing came to one of them. Before coming, he had already asked Mao Ningchuan how to deal with these people, but he did not show any timidity.
"Brother, I've been admiring the Ghost Market for a long time, but it seems like the things here are a bit too ordinary." The
man in front of him was about twenty years old, but the vigilance in his eyes was not weak at all. While eating melon seeds, he said with a smile: "Isn't it right? This ghost market is actually like this. There are only so many things. Why don't you take a look and maybe you can find what you want."
" I have the final say whether it is what you want, but whether the thing is good or not depends on you, brother. I am very sincere, brother, you don’t need to worry about it, I am not one of those yellow dogs who come to the ghost market to look for trouble." He raised his eyebrows lightly
. , the man spit out all the melon seed skins in his mouth with a pop. You can see that there is no bit of melon seed pulp in these melon skins, and they have all been eaten cleanly by the man.
Grinning, revealing a small groove in his front teeth from long-term consumption of melon seeds, the man said to Yan Daoxing: "It turns out that you are an expert. I told you earlier that I would stop talking nonsense with you. Just tell me what you want to buy, and I will take you there." Go."
"I want to buy some fresh antiques. I heard that the freshest antiques in the ghost market are Black Rat Lao San. I wonder if my brother can take me there to have a look." After hearing this,
the man's face changed slightly. , subconsciously reached his hand to his lower back, knowing by words and deeds that if he moved in any way, the man would probably pull out a knife from his waist in the next second, but he naturally didn't pay attention to this, and just continued: "Old Black Rat The three names are outside, and the things are the best and freshest. If brother takes me there, I will not treat you badly." As he spoke, he
pretended to fumble in the pocket of his clothes, but in fact he took out the reincarnation watch. A small goldfish gave the man a slightly bright look, and his eyes immediately lit up.
After taking a deep look at Yan Daoxing, the man nodded slowly and said: "Okay, seeing that you are also sincere, then I won't refuse. Now I will take you to find Black Rat Lao San. You can take care of him when you get there." It's not too late to give me something."
"Brother is an honest man, I'm here to thank you."
Looking at Yan Daoxing with a smile on his face, the man hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Yan Daoxing: "I see you are pleasing to the eye. Let me tell you more nonsense, if you did not come to the ghost market for Black Rat Third, then find another place as soon as possible. That guy is not a good man." "Thank you brother, but
I am just here to find Black Rat Third."
Hearing this, the man took a deep look at Yan Daoxing, nodded slowly, and said: "In that case, I won't talk nonsense, you come with me!" After saying this,
the man immediately moved at an extremely fast speed Walking into the dark alley behind him, Yan Daoxing secretly became vigilant and followed him into it.
The man moved very quickly, and sometimes he walked into an abandoned house, sometimes he browsed through a dilapidated wall, and his words and deeds followed closely behind. After walking for nearly five minutes, the two of them stopped at a seemingly It was a very ordinary dilapidated two-story building.
Looking at the dim light inside the window, the man whispered to Yan Daoxing: "This is the facade of Black Rat Lao San in the ghost market. You can just go in. Now you can give me my things." From the
pocket The little goldfish was taken out and put into the man's hand. The man weighed it, nodded slowly, and then quickly walked into the alley behind him and disappeared from the sight of Yan Daoxing.
Yan Daoxing pushed open the courtyard door of the second-story building and walked to the door of the second-story building. Just as he was about to reach out and knock on the door, his expression suddenly changed. Yan Daoxing smelled the smell of blood. He was about to step away, but Suddenly a loud noise was heard, and a window on the second floor of the two-story building suddenly shattered. A short figure rushed out, fell straight to the ground, and stumbled towards the outside.
Seeing this, Yan Daoxing immediately chased after him. The third black rat was always alone, and he was short in stature and slightly lame in his left foot. The figure that rushed out from the second-story window just now was like this. Naturally, he could only It was the Third Black Rat himself, but his words and deeds were somewhat unclear. Why did the Third Black Rat run away? What could make a person like him run away like crazy without caring about anything!
