C44 A Different World

"Oh, I'm afraid the store won't be able to do that. Forgive me for my rudeness, but I might as well invite you to the kitchen to give me some pointers. "

"Alright, please. " Ling Shuangao got up as he spoke.

"Please, this way. " The shopkeeper bowed.

"I don't think so. " Xue Baiping's face was full of shock as he shouted, "Isn't it just the next noodles? Why are you so particular about it? Given Great Hero Ling's status, how could he go after. . . "

Xiao Yan quickly covered Xue Baiping's mouth, "You still don't understand?"

"What did you hear?"

"Let's go," Xiao Yan said.

"Oh! I get it. " Xue Baiping said and quickly followed.

The shopkeeper brought the five people into the kitchen and saw that the pot was filled with water, but the bottom of the pot did not start a fire.

Xue Baiping could not help but smile and say, "This ice pot is cold, and it even says the bottom. The shopkeeper really knows how to trick people. "

The shop owner also smiled and casually took out a water ladle. He scooped half a ladle of water from the wooden bucket and carefully added water to the pot. He said, "Since you are three zhang and three zhang away, why do you care about these small mouthfuls of noodles? The Ghost Market was about to open in less than a few hours. Taotie City's' gate meat 'and Ghost Market's Eighteen Fresh' were renowned across the world. When the time comes, the guest official will know what the true fragrance is. "

"It will take a few more hours. Doesn't that mean I'll starve to death? I think you should give me two noodles. "

"Hungry to death? Dead people won't feel hungry. " The shopkeeper said casually.

"Hey, the water is about to overflow. " Xue Baiping couldn't help but shout, but the innkeeper completely ignored him.

At the same time, he heard a buzzing sound. Everyone looked over and saw that the cabinet next to them, which was as tall as a person, suddenly split open from the middle. Then, it quickly moved to the two sides, revealing two tightly shut stone doors.

As soon as the stone doors appeared, everyone's attention was attracted by the copper statue of the Bi'an statue in the middle of the stone doors. The Bi'an opened its mouth wide and its round eyes were wide open. He looked majestic and lifelike. It was as if he wanted to jump out of the stone door at any moment. The shopkeeper took out a three inch long copper key from his body and inserted it into Bi'an's mouth. With a turn of his hand, there was a loud boom. A puff of smoke drifted out and the stone door was opened. Everyone immediately felt a wave of cold air spread over their faces, so cold that it pierced their hearts to the bone.

When the green smoke dispersed, a tunnel appeared in front of them. The tunnel was not completely dark. Instead, it was flickering with a dim light.

Moreover, they could vaguely hear someone singing in the tunnel. It was the voice of a woman. The voice was not clear, and it seemed to be slightly hoarse. However, it was very pleasant to hear, very soft. It was soft and somewhat simple. It was also a little mysterious, as if it was telling a story that no one knew about. However, no one could understand a single word of the story.

They followed the shop owner into the tunnel. As soon as they entered the tunnel, they heard a rumbling sound behind them. They couldn't help but turn around to see that the stone door had already been closed.

The tunnel didn't seem as cold as when they were at the door. The woman's voice was still faintly discernible. What was surprising was that the woman's voice didn't become bigger or smaller because of the change in their positions. It was like a wisp of smoke lingering around them. It didn't dissipate, nor could it be caught.

Lin Yuchen looked at Ling Shuangao and the others and listened for a long time. In the end, he could not help but ask, "Did you guys hear someone sing? It seems to be a girl. "

"En. Yeah. You heard it too. " Xue Baiping glanced at Lin Yuchen out of the corner of his eye and whispered, "I thought I heard it wrong. The sound is so scary. Do you think it is that thing?"

"No way. "

"How can it not be? Don't forget that we are going at a distance of 30 meters. " Xue Baiping said.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. " Xiao Yan said, "It's already scary enough. "

When the shopkeeper heard this, he turned around and looked at the few people. He smiled and did not say anything.

"Hey, shopkeeper. " Lin Yuchen suddenly said, "I heard you say that a dead person wouldn't feel hungry. What do you mean by that?"

"Young master, you are quite cautious. " The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I was just joking with that young hero. In Ghost Market, people are just dead people. "

"So that's how it is. "

"What else can we do?" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This is Ghost Market, not an illegal shop. Customer, you are worrying too much. "

"It's not a black shop, and it won't be in vain. " Xue Baiping muttered to himself, "This is an underground tunnel and also a trap. And the surrounding environment. Who would believe it if it wasn't a black shop? "

"Lower your voice. " Xiao Yan quickly pulled Xue Baiping's sleeve. "I heard you. "

"What are you afraid of? Just let him hear you. If you don't say it now, you might die in a fair way. "

As he spoke, he saw the shopkeeper suddenly stop in front of a shelf. This shelf was as tall as a person, and it was filled with all kinds of nether coins, which were paper money. The denomination was very rich, and the print was especially exquisite. "Why are there so much paper money here?" Lin Yuchen wanted to ask, but Xue Baiping had already said it first.

"Money is obviously used to buy things. Once we enter the Ghost Market, we won't be able to draw money from outside. We won't be able to exchange it for some underworld money. I'm afraid that none of you will be able to do anything. " The shopkeeper looked at Ling Shuangao as he spoke. "May I know how much you want to exchange it for?"

"That depends on how much this is worth. " Ling Shuangao took out a brocade box as he spoke.

The shopkeeper took the brocade box and carefully opened it. He saw wisps of cold light seeping out.

"The Night-Luminescent Pearl!" Lin Yuchen exclaimed. "It's so big! It's a priceless treasure!"

"Mm, not bad. " The shopkeeper said, "It's a good item. How about a hundred thousand taels of silver?"

"I think I'll have to pay for the meal. " Ling Shuangao said.

"Okay, 110,000, how about it?"

"That's good. " Xue Baiping did not believe it. "10,000 silver for a meal? Shop owner, you are not lying, are you?"

"Of course not. Then it seems like we can make a deal?" The old man stood up and took a few pieces of paper money from the cabinet behind him and handed it to Ling Shuangao.

"The hundreds of thousands of pieces of paper you said are just these few pieces of paper?" Xue Baiping asked, "Shop owner, are you teasing us?"

"One hundred and ten thousand taels of silver. " The shop owner looked at Xue Baiping and said, "It's my first time here, and I'm always like a guest. I'm worried about this, I'm worried about that. I've been here a lot. He knew that the rules of Ghost Market were much more common than the rules of the Yang world. When it came to dealing with ghosts, you didn't go so far as to take turns with people. It was what it was. One hundred and ten thousand silver taels was equivalent to one hundred and ten thousand silver taels. He would not lose a single cent. Everyone, please follow me. "

After the shop owner made a few more turns in the tunnel, he finally stopped in front of a stone room.
