Chapter 85 Blood Jade Gecko

Thirty miles east of the county seat, there is a barren mountain to the east of Jiulian Mountain.

On the fifteenth day of every month, the ghost market opens in the barren mountains.

In the next three days, the black market was opened at the same location.

The main difference between the ghost market and the black market is that the former has no restrictions on who can enter and exit. Anyone from any religion can enter it. Even a repeat offender from the imperial court can come and go as he pleases.

In addition, the ghost market is completely free to trade, no matter what is bought or sold, there are no taboos.

Crossbows, armor, these prohibited transactions can also be carried out.

Of course, this also includes the human elixir transaction.

As for the black market, there are more restrictions. At least these taboo items are not allowed to be traded openly at stalls.

When Zhou Qing arrived near the barren mountain where the black market was located, it was just past three quarters to noon.

The black market opens in the evening.

So he first went to Jiulian Mountain and searched the foothills.

Zhou Qing was just wandering around the foothills and met many mountain people hunting and collecting herbs.

Among them, I also encountered several groups of warriors, all of whom were not weak in strength.

"The location of Ping'an County was chosen well." Zhou Qing sighed.

Ping'an County is bounded by Huanglong Mountain to the northwest and Jiulian Mountain to the east. Just being backed by these two giant peaks allows the upper class of Ping'an County to not worry about resources.

"It seems the water here is very deep."

Zhou Qing went up the mountain and stopped when he was near the miasma area on the mountainside.

The experience in Black Wind Mountain made him dare not easily explore unknown areas.

What happened to the Fu brothers also made him understand that there is no such thing as justice and evil.

The Demon Suppression Department of the imperial court, which is specially used to fight against evil spirits, is bound to have scum.

In fact, this is inevitable, because no matter what organization, the core is people.

Wherever there are people, there are desires and struggles.

"It's better to keep the matter in Black Wind Mountain in your stomach."

He pretended not to see the zombies in Black Wind Mountain.

Find a time to move the family to the county seat, and the problem will be solved.

His master Wei Sheng obviously knew something inside, but he didn't know whether he didn't want to tell it or couldn't tell it.

After staying in the county for this period of time, and with the information obtained from the Demon Suppression Department, Zhou Qing discovered something strange.

That is, there are only six martial arts gyms in Ping'an County, which is the headquarters of the six martial arts gyms in Heishan Town.

In such a large county, there are only six great martial arts masters in the six martial arts schools. In addition, there are five major local families, each family has a great martial arts master, and the county captain Zhang martial arts master of the county government.

In the entire Pingan County, there are currently only twelve known great martial arts masters. Including the six great martial artists sent abroad, there are a total of eighteen great martial artists.

Although Black Mountain Town is much larger than the average town, it does not allow six great martial arts masters to be stationed in it.

It's not like there aren't other big towns nearby. A martial arts school can occupy a whole town.

There must be something wrong here.

Unfortunately, Zhou Qing's level is still too low, so the information he knows is limited.

However, as Wei Sheng's personal disciple, as his strength improves, he will be able to get in touch with the core things sooner or later, so he is not in a hurry.

The top priority was to take care of Lin Tianzheng.

Time soon came to night, and the full moon hung high. Under the bright moonlight, the barren mountains looked a bit eerie.

Zhou Qing put on a black robe and a monkey mask and walked towards the depths of the barren mountain.

Soon, a desolate and dilapidated mountain village was revealed in the distance. There was also a city wall made of bluestone on the outside, but there were gaps everywhere and ruins.

This looks like the ruins of a city.

At the entrance, two warriors wearing grimace masks blocked Zhou Qing's way.

Zhou Qing took off a waist badge from his waist and was released.

Even if a warrior without a badge comes here by accident, he will not be able to enter.

When Zhou Qing entered the mountain village, the streets were lifeless. There was a small stall every ten meters on both sides of the road.

Whether they are stall owners or passers-by, they are either wearing masks or hats, with black gauze covering their faces.

When communicating, most people use gestures, and even when they speak, their voices are very low.

Zhou Qing walked from the street to the end of the street and found some good things.

I visited several stalls, and basically every stall owner would put a sign on the stall with information about the items for sale.

[The poisonous water mixed with Broken Heart Grass and Blood Jade Gecko can be used to quench the poison on weapons, which can cause the wounds of the wounded to fester, bleed to stop, and lead to death from hemorrhage. It has a significant effect on warriors below the level of muscle training. The price is one hundred taels a bottle. 】

[Corpse water. When poured on a corpse, it can turn it into pus, which is a must-have for killing people, taking treasures, and destroying corpses to eliminate traces. A bottle of ten taels of silver. Buy five get one free. 】

[Leopard Yijin Pills. It is made from rare medicinal materials such as leopard fetus, deer fetus, purple river car, seal kidney and so on. It has the miraculous effect of refining meat and loosening muscles, strengthening the muscles all over the body and greatly increasing Qi and blood. The price is three hundred taels a piece. 】

Zhou Qing stayed for a moment next to the stall selling Baotai Yijin Pills, then turned and left.

Don't eat pills randomly, especially if you buy them from roadside stalls.

After shopping around, Zhou Qing fell in love with the poisonous water.

The Blood Jade Gecko is rare and the hardest to find among the Five Poisons.

It is of great benefit to the evolution of Gu insects. This poisonous water can be used as food to feed the evolving Erqing.

However, the total money he had on him did not amount to one hundred taels of silver.

So he found a deserted corner and took out a cloth bag and four black-scaled python skins from the skin bag Gu.

"Can you take a look?" Zhou Qing stopped in front of a stall selling poisonous water, squatted down, and pointed at the porcelain bottle in front of him.

"Okay." The stall owner was a man wearing a minotaur mask, his voice was low and hoarse.

After hearing this, Zhou Qing picked up the porcelain bottle, closed his eyes slightly, brought it to the tip of his nose and took a breath.

This action immediately shocked the stall owner, and his eyes widened under the mask.

After a moment, Zhou Qing said calmly: "The blood of your blood jade gecko is too short, it's not worth a hundred taels."

"No two prices." The stall owner took back the porcelain vase.

"A piece of snake skin from an exotic beast will be exchanged for you three bottles of poisonous water." Zhou Qing took out the snake skin from the package.

The black scales glowed coldly under the moonlight.

"Is this a python that has become a spirit?"

Customers from several nearby stalls were also attracted.

"Show me." The stall owner took the snake skin and stroked it gently with eager eyes.

"Two snake skins for five bottles of poisonous water!"

The stall owner gritted his teeth.

"Forget it if you're not sincere." Zhou Qing took the snake skin, stood up and left.

"Wait!" The stall owner suddenly stood up, "I'll change!"

With that said, he packed the seven porcelain bottles on the stall and gave them to Zhou Qing.

"I'll give you the extra bottle."

Zhou Qing stopped and turned around, "Deal!"

He opened the seven porcelain bottles one by one to inspect the goods. After confirming that there was no problem, he handed the two snake skins to the stall owner.

The stall owner looked at the two remaining snake skins in Zhou Qing's package.

"You have two snake skins left, do you want to sell them?"

"Add the two together, five hundred taels!" Zhou Qing stretched out five fingers.

The stall owner's eyes changed slightly, and he took out all the money he had, but in the end he only had less than three hundred taels.

"I'll buy another one."

"Two hundred and fifty taels." Zhou Qing took out a piece of snake skin.

The stall owner handed over two silver notes worth one hundred taels and a few ingots of silver.

After getting the snake skin, the stall owner turned around and left.

"Alien beast snake skin, the last one!" Seeing several people gathered around, it seemed that the snake skin was very interested, Zhou Qing shouted directly.

"I'll pay two hundred and fifty-five taels!"

"Two hundred and sixty taels!"

"."

"three hundred!"
