Chapter 109 Ghost City

"This person must have offended someone, or for other reasons, so he was tattooed with a finishing touch!" Li Zhao said with some regret.

"There is such a saying here?" Zhang Quan looked at Li Zhao in surprise.

"Director Zhang, you are also the director of the Cultural Relics Bureau. You should know that there were many things in ancient times that were taboos, and this finishing touch was one of them!" Li Zhao couldn't help but say.

"Then this person is pitiful!" Zhang Quan nodded, as if he understood a little.

"Yes!" Li Zhao also sighed, but after glanced around, his face became solemn again, "Why do everyone here have tattoos?"

"I heard that it is the rule here, everyone must have a tattoo!" Zhang Quan sighed.

"Rules? Why do I feel that the tattoo here is like a lock, locking everyone here? It's very strange, something is wrong here!" Li Zhao shook his head and glanced at those people.

"Director, you don't know. I heard from others that there is a name here, it's called Ghost Market!" The driver suddenly spoke with a little nervous expression.

"Ghost Market?" Li Zhao was stunned. After taking a look at him from both sides, his face changed instantly, "Brother Zhang, Ghost Market is not the place where ordinary people should come!"

"What, what can I say in the ghost market?" Zhang Quan was stunned again.

Li Zhao shook his head slowly. In the five thousand years of history, the ghost market has never disappeared since its appearance. Li Zhao is also very familiar with this kind of place. The dirt and dirt hidden in this place is the dirtiest and the most stigmatizing place.

"The Ghost Market is very dirty, and it is said that many warlocks live here, and it is also said that this is the place to the underworld!" Li Zhao shook his head.

"The Underworld?" Zhang Quan was stunned, "Is there such a thing really?"

"It's just a legend!" Li Zhao shook his head and said nothing more.

"Brother Li, I feel a little nervous when you say this. According to what you say, isn't this place very dangerous?" Zhang Quan couldn't help asking. When he recalled the previous few times he came, he couldn't help but feel scared.

"No, every ghost market has a minor official who manages it. This minor official is the most powerful person here. Generally speaking, they will not attack ordinary people! Not enough, this auction is held here, it is very likely to be related to this minor official, and your painting is very likely to be related to this minor official!" Li Zhao explained cautiously.

"What should I do?" Zhang Quan felt nervous. He originally thought it was just an auction to find someone, but now he heard Li Zhao's words, which made him more and more worried.

"It's okay, the generals are here to block the water and soil!" Li Zhao shook his head and signaled Zhang Quan not to worry.

The car soon drove past the market and finally stopped in front of a huge warehouse.

Li Zhao got out of the car and glanced around and found that the huge warehouse was built on a dock. Although it looked dilapidated, the light and sound leaking from it made people know that it was not that simple inside.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Li Zhao nodded and gestured, taking out two talismans at the same time, handing them to Zhang Quan and the other to the driver.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong, but Fu Li is held on her body in case of accidents. Remember, you can't lose it!" Li Zhao said solemnly.

"Okay, okay, okay!" The driver nodded repeatedly and responded.

Li Zhao and Zhang Quan walked towards the warehouse one by one. After entering the warehouse, their eyes suddenly became clear. There were crowds everywhere in the huge warehouse, and many people were caring inside, looking like bars, which surprised Li Zhao a little.

"The auction is below. This is just a place to play. If you are interested, we will play here later!" This is not the first time Zhang Quan has been here. Seeing Li Zhao a little surprised, he explained.

"No, let's go down just now!" Li Zhao shook his head. There was a very strange smell in this huge warehouse. Although it was very lively, it did not infect Li Zhao's heart, especially those beating people, which seemed a little weird.

Zhang Quan was familiar with the road and walked to the side. He soon walked around the crowd and saw a small staircase, slowly extending upwards.

After getting up the stairs, Li Zhao saw an elevator appearing in front of him. When he reached the elevator door, someone stopped Li Zhao and Zhang Quan.

"Auction!" Zhang Quan took out an invitation from his bag and asked several people to check it. This was to let the two of them go.

The two entered the elevator and the elevator went down quickly. After a few seconds, the elevator door opened again and a long passage appeared in front of it.

There was a thick carpet on the ground of the passage. There was no sound when walking on it, and the entire corridor was extremely quiet.

"Walking through the corridor in front, you can see the auction hall!" Zhang Quan explained, and then took Li Zhao into it.

A few minutes later, Zhang Quan pushed open a small door and walked inside.

The eyes around him suddenly became clear. Li Zhao looked at him in surprise. The place where Zhang Quan took him to was a small private room, which was sealed on three sides, leaving only a railing in front. Under the railing was a huge space, which was the auction venue.

"In order to protect the privacy of customers, everyone's venue is sealed here. Only the things auctioned below can be heard in front of you. There is also a monitor here, which can be viewed at close range. Our place is on the second floor, there are several floors above, and there are many places below. Our location is relatively good!" Zhang Quan explained.

"It's not bad, but if this happens, it will be a little troublesome to find out whether there is any problem with the ancient painting!" Li Zhao nodded, stood at the railing and looked down, and came to this conclusion.

"This is all this. This place is completely closed. If you want to see it directly, there is almost no way!" Zhang Quan shook his head and said.

"What if a fake product appears?" Li Zhao asked in confusion.

"It's very simple. If the buyer detects a fake product, the seller will cut his hands and get rid of it, and the qualification to enter the ghost market will be disqualified. The ghost market will be compensated at ten times the price spent by the buyer!" Zhang Quan explained.

"Then you two paintings from last time!" Li Zhao was stunned and became more and more surprised.

"I didn't detect it!" Zhang Quan sighed and smiled bitterly.

"So that's how it is!" Li Zhao nodded, but thoughtful in his heart, "That is to say, even if you sell fake goods here, as long as you are not found out, it will be fine?"

"Yes!" Zhang Quan nodded affirmatively.
