Chapter 265 Streets That Don't Exist
July 15th, night.
After entering the curfew, the capital of Chengdu Prefecture was like the night sky with fireworks burning gold, and it suddenly became cold and silent.
"Show your pass-through ghost cards."
Under the night, at the entrance of an inconspicuous alley on Yunluo Street, two swordsmen wearing ghost masks looked quietly at the two men wearing red and white masks in front of them with long swords.
The two men did not resist and silently took out their respective waist cards.
Seeing these two waist cards, the two swordsmen moved away.
Then the two swordsmen waved their horizontal swords in their hands to fight each other at a strange rhythm.
The crisp sound of the long sword collision, mixed with the bursting sound of the strong wind, resounding in this cold and silent alley.
After the fourth crisp sound, a cold night wind blew out from the alleyway.
Along with the cold wind, there is a little blue fire at the end of the alley.
"Follow the fire to keep going forward, don't look back, the fire will be extinguished when you turn back. Don't think about going to the ghost market, go home and stay here."
A swordsman pointed to the green flame at the end of the alley.
The two men in masks nodded and then walked into the alley.
As soon as they entered the alley, the two of them found that when they walked forward, the green flames would also go forward.
"Master, this alley seems to be sealed by a barrier, and the circulation of spiritual energy is not as smooth as that outside."
On the left side of the alley, the man wearing a red mask suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"It's not just this alley, but after nightfall, all the streets in the inner city of Chengdu Prefecture were set up to have barriers."
The man wearing a white-faced mask on the right replied.
These two people are nothing else, Li Bai and Liu Haoran.
During this trip to the ghost market, Li Bai originally wanted to take Ah Hu, but thought it was too dangerous to get Ah Hu, a person with no cultivation, to be involved in it, so Haoran was replaced by him.
At present, Liu Haoran's cultivation level is approaching the peak of Qi refining. With the increasingly proficient "The Six Arts of Aohan", his strength is no less than that of ordinary foundation-building cultivators.
"I see, the two people who were guarding the gate just now had their cultivation level at least the ninth level of Qi Refining. Taking a cultivator of this realm to come to the gate, this ghost market is really a big deal."
Liu Haoran said again.
"If you don't have some Taoism, this ghost market will not be able to exist today."
Li Bai nodded.
Before they came here, the two of them had actually felt the extraordinaryness of this ghost market.
Li Bai received the Ghost Market Pass three days ago, and along with the pass token, there was also a letter similar to the instructions for entering the city.
According to this letter, there are many entrances to Chengdu Ghost Market, and these entrances will change with the change of time.
If you want to enter the ghost town, you must ask for an invitation, get the pass ghost card, and then go to the designated location at a specific time.
For example, the designated entrance on Li Bai's letter is the alley on Yunluo Street. If they took these two passes to another place, the doorkeeper would not let it go.
While talking, the two of them had arrived at the end of the alley.
"There's no way?"
But what surprised Liu Haoran was that the end of the alley was a wall.
Looking at the wall, Liu Haoran grabbed his head with some confusion.
Li Bai was not in a hurry, but just looked at the green flame beside the wall quietly.
Soon, in Liu Haoran's surprised gaze, the green flame hid into the courtyard wall bit by bit.
Li Bai did not answer, but took a step forward and walked directly towards the wall.
What's strange is that Li Bai's figure was not hindered at all and he directly passed through the wall.
"Behind the wall?"
Seeing this scene, he suddenly understood and immediately followed him and stepped into the "wall".
After a moment of blindness, when Liu Haoran opened his eyes again, a bustling street that had never been seen before appeared in front of him.
This street is full of lanterns, and there are houses on both sides of the street that are even more grand than Yunluo Street in Chengdu. The stalls on both sides of the street are placed from the street to the end of the street.
"I have come to Chengdu Prefecture a lot, but why do I always feel that I have never seen this street in Chengdu Prefecture?"
Looking at the bustling but unfamiliar street in front of him, Liu Haoran felt in a trance that he had come to a brand new world.
"It may be an illusion, a barrier, or it may be that there has been such a street hidden in Chengdu."
Li Bai was actually a little surprised.
Because after breaking through the Foundation Establishment Period, he knew very well that it was definitely not something that ordinary monks could do, even if they were a Jindan stage monk, it would not be possible for him to do this.
"The world of cultivation in the Tang Dynasty is indeed not as calm as it seems on the surface."
He thought in surprise.
"Master, where are we going now?"
Walking on the street, Liu Haoran looked around vigilantly and asked Li Bai in a low voice.
"The life and death contest will begin at midnight, and my competition will be the last one." Li Bai glanced at the vendors in Yan Yu on both sides, and then continued:
"Let's take a look around first."
It is obviously not a bad thing to learn more about this ghost market.
"good."
He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard that the life and death raid was about to begin.
He came to this ghost market not to go shopping, but to watch the fight.
After walking straight along the street from front to back, the two finally got a general understanding of the street.
First of all, the structure of the street of Ghost City.
This street faces north and south, with straight streets and a length of about one kilometer.
The southernmost point is where Li Bai and Liu Haoran have just entered, and is the entrance to this ghost market.
The northernmost point is the exit of the ghost market. Once you go out, your waist sign will be invalid immediately. If you want to enter the ghost market again, you can only wait for the fifteenth month next month.
There are seven or eight alleys on both sides of the street.
The names of each lane are diverse, but the names can still roughly determine the items sold and traded.
For example, the transactions sold in Huang Lao Lane are all kinds of alchemy materials and elixirs.
Molu Lane is full of various talisman pens, talisman paper, talisman ink and various talismans for making talismans.
Baibing Lane sells all kinds of weapons. If you can afford the deposit, you can even book weapons foiled by a famous artist in some stores.
In these thirteen alleys, as long as you can think of it, you basically have everything you need.
Because on the surface, the Tang Dynasty actually prohibited the sale of items in the world of cultivation, and could only be circulated within the Zhenwu Pavilion and sects. Some cultivators, especially casual cultivators, who want to obtain some practice materials, can only rely on the ghost market.
Some of the monks began to sell their idle items because they couldn't afford so much money for a while. Over time, the buyer eventually became sellers, which indirectly created the prosperity of the ghost market in this regard.
