Chapter 69 Rules of all kinds
I was surprised that there was another saying in the inner city.
But when faced with this strange child, I still chose to remain silent. I don’t know that I can’t talk nonsense, but before I came here, I had to stay alert.
Seeing that I didn't answer, the child was not surprised, but said to himself: "I just said that the incident of going to Dongcheng has not happened a few times since the beginning. If you don't find a reliable person, how dare you go to Dongcheng?"
As he spoke, the child's big eyes dripped straight, revealing a clever spirit.
To be honest, he is not ugly. If he is not big and thin, pale, and yellow hair, he would be considered a terrible child.
I guess he noticed that I was looking at him, and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "If I didn't think so, I might not have the courage to call you. That's fine, I can still make 500 yuan."
While talking, he took me through an alley with me and walked towards the west.
I heard some meaning from his words, and secretly analyzed it in my heart, without saying much. However, for this little effort, he had already taken me through two alleys, both towards the west, and had already left the main street far away.
As he said, he was extremely familiar with the inner market.
After all, it was a city. After walking for a while, I thought about it and finally spoke: "It seems that you are really familiar with this place, and everything you take me is shortcuts."
Actually, I didn’t know if he took me a shortcut. It just took some skills to ask questions, at least I can’t show my bottom.
He heard what I said, and he was indeed a little surprised and asked me in surprise: "Huh? Uncle, how do you know that I am taking a shortcut?"
I felt a little awkward and said, "I am not old, you don't have to call me uncle. Just call me a guest."
"Yes, guest. I just saw that other people call people great, all call them masters, uncles, etc., so I followed them and many people were still happy to hear them." He said a little a lot. Although he felt like he was a young man, there was something that belonged to children in his words.
I was very surprised, could it be really a child?
But these are not things that I can care about when I come to the inner city. I paused for a moment and continued the topic just now: "Look at how many shortcuts you can find, I think you are really familiar with the ghost market?"
"That's right, if I say that I am ranked second in the city, then no one dares to say that I am ranked first." Hearing me praise him, the child couldn't help but be very proud, and his head was shaking his head, which was a bit cute.
His name is Liansheng?
But so far, I still can't believe that there are people in the inner city who work as a "guide" for tourist city scenic spots, and they are still a child.
But this is how things develop, and I can only cooperate according to this "play path". While I was talking, I took out two hundred yuan from my backpack quietly. It was not too much, and it was not enough to arouse anyone's greed.
But if this child is really so eager to make money in the market, the two hundred dollars will be enough to tempt him.
Seeing that I took out the money, he was also clever and immediately came forward and asked, "Customer, what do you want to ask? I know a little bit about the secrets here."
He approached me and a slight "decay" aura came from him. I frowned secretly, but didn't show anything. I just said in a low voice: "I don't know the secret you said, right or wrong. So, you just tell me everything you know about this place. Whether everyone knows or doesn't know, I have my own concerns."
"Ah, that's a long story." Liansheng didn't expect me to make such a request.
I looked at the two hundred yuan in his hand calmly. He quickly smiled and didn't dare to complain. While taking me along, he told me about everything about the inner city.
After all, it is a city, and we don’t have any means of transportation, so it’s still quite time-consuming to move around.
Although I was a little anxious, I heard Liansheng talk about everything about the inner market along the way, time passed slowly, and I didn’t feel how far away it was.
And from his words, I also knew that what we were going to is Xicheng.
In this huge city, only Xicheng is the scope of human activities. According to the direction of this city, it should be that as soon as you enter the city gate, you should take a shortcut and enter Xicheng.
But I didn't know this, so I walked straight towards the other direction along the main road.
Of course, I was not going to enter the East City either. I just wanted to follow the main road to explore, but Liansheng misunderstood and watched me walk the other end, thinking that I was going to enter the East City.
However, in this ghost market, except for going to Xicheng, you can maintain your own state, and going to other places, you must be in the state of your soul.
This is what Liansheng said, how can I dare to enter the East City without finding a reliable person? Can the body that has temporarily left the soul entrusted to anyone?
From his mouth, I could vaguely know that this inner city is considered a rule except for the strict division of regions.
There is no rule in the rest, it is a total chaos place.
In addition, the "permanent people" here may be because of this dark environment. Even if they are gentle, they become perverse and violent. It is common for them to accidentally besides human life.
"To put it, if the soul is gone, it will be a relief. What I fear most is to be collected and sent to the most chaotic North City, which is close to another cliff of death, which would be miserable." Liansheng commented so.
"Cliff of Death? Where is it scary?" I actually don't know where the Cliff of Death is, nor do I think I will go to that kind of place. This is a casual question.
"It's the other side of the waterfall, which is called the Cliff of Death. What's scary is not there, but the place behind it." Liansheng said this, his originally pale face turned paler a little, as if it was a taboo.
Where? Is that small plain?
I kept silent. I had planned that place for my previous escape route, which seems really ridiculous now.
From Liansheng's words, I already knew how scary this inner city was.
I also understand that the reason why places like this are so chaotic is that even if the snow mountain lineage wants to be managed, it is still powerful and incompetent.
It’s like there’s something hidden here, it’s a taboo that cannot be touched.
The existence of the Snow Mountain lineage seems to be able to maintain a certain balance as much as possible, and cannot fully control it. Chen Chengyi, the leader of the Snow Mountain lineage, seems to have the same meaning as the deep meaning of the ghost market here.
I thought about it secretly and finally got a rough understanding of this inner market.
As Liansheng said, there are so many things to do in this inner city. According to Liansheng’s familiarity with this place, he tried to get closer and closer to me. It took me nearly an hour and a half to reach the western market where human activities were.
The moment I heard the voice, I felt a little excited.
"Guest, you know what I believe is right. You know, even if you enter the city and enter the West Market, you have to leave this time." The boy seemed to be seeking credit.
I nodded.
Speaking of it, I felt a little depressed. If I wanted to enter the inner market, in the shed I was waiting for before, the old man who was cooking medicine would remind everyone to go to the west market first when entering the market, and to take a very obvious road towards the west from the beginning.
Even a roadmap will be given.
However, Brother Zhengchuan and I didn’t plan to enter the inner market at the beginning, so we naturally didn’t know about this.
That's why I was no one when I entered the ghost market. When I thought of this, I couldn't help but ask Liansheng: "You said, if I entered the East City without knowing it, but I was unwilling to move in the state of my soul, what would that result?"
Liansheng looked at me in surprise and said, "Guest, aren't you joking? If you dare to enter as a human being in Dongcheng City, you won't know how you die! That's the rule set by the 'market tyrant' there. If you don't follow the rules, no one will avenge you if you die. Moreover, your soul will inevitably be thrown behind the cliff of death."
"They just throw it away? So domineering? I don't want to? What is the market tyrant?" I felt a little dissatisfied and said it casually in a joking tone.
Liansheng widened his eyes and looked at me as he was stunned for a few seconds before he could express his admiration in his eyes.
Then he whispered to me: "The city tyrant is the most powerful one in the East City! But what exactly it is, I... I can't remember it."
Lian Sheng's face showed distress.
But he looked up at me and said, "I knew you were amazing! I dare to say such words... Such a powerful person, I thought only the owner of Xishi. Mr. Chen, at the beginning, heard that he beat up many of the powerful people here and opened a ghost market here."
"That's it." I tried my best to reply calmly, but my back was covered in cold sweat.
When it comes to ability, I can't even see Chen Chengyi's back. It seems that I don't know that the world is so high that I actually said such words casually, and even made an innocent child admire me.
