Chapter 303 The Beauty Is Decapitated in the Five-Foot Box

In fact, until you see this, everything is still normal.

The most serious thing is that two Qi warriors who have not been stained by the worldly world will go down the mountain to seek refuge with their master's old friend.

But if it was really that simple, how could Huang Yue look like this?

Yu Chen continued to look down.

Let's talk about the year Huang Yue came down from the mountain, which was already eight years ago. At that time, he was twenty-two years old and his sister Huang Yanshu was fifteen years old.

The two of them stepped into the bustling capital city, and their eyes widened immediately when they saw the crowds of people coming and going, the beaded curtains and green curtains, and the hundreds of thousands of houses.

The two brothers spend their days on the mountain with a clear conscience. Where have they ever seen such beautiful scenery?

Huang Yanshu was crazy at that time, his eyes were shining.

But Huang Yue is older after all, and he remembers his teacher saying that his sister is extremely talented, well-behaved and beautiful. However, this world may seem prosperous, but in fact it is full of filth and danger.

He immediately took the fifteen-year-old Huang Yanshu and stayed at the inn for one night, and immediately followed the master's last words to find the high-ranking official who had once had a favor.

After many inquiries during the period of failure, he finally determined that the young man whose life had been saved by his master was now a minister in one of the six departments of the imperial court.

Fourth grade officer!

Huang Yue didn't know what this meant at the time, but from what the people said, the position of minister was like a person in heaven to countless ordinary people!

After hearing this, Huang Yue immediately felt happy!

Then he went to the Minister's Mansion.

At that time, Cao Yuan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was nearly forty years old, and he was in the prime of life.

And he was also a very affectionate person. When he saw Huang Yue explaining his intention, he looked at the broken bowl, and when he learned about the death of Master Huang Yue, he was so sad that he cried and beat his chest and feet. He said that such a kind-hearted person, However, things are unpredictable, so he went to the west like this!

When Huang Yue and Huang Yanshu saw this scene, they were completely moved by the affectionate Cao Yuan in front of them. They felt that the teacher did not save the wrong person in the first place!

After some family talk, Cao Yuan promised the brothers and sisters that as long as he was alive for a day, he would never let them go hungry!

Later, he arranged for his confidants to take the Huang Yue brothers and sisters to eat, drink and have fun in the capital, and they stayed at ease for more than half a month.

Eat the best, drink the best, wear the best, play the most expensive things... Looking at the money being spent like water, Huang Yue felt embarrassed.

But Cao Yu'an said that if it hadn't been for the kindness of the meal, he, Cao Yuan, would have turned into bones in the mountains long ago. How could he have achieved what he has today? Let them have fun and don't have any scruples!

Therefore, under such rhetoric, the Huang Yue brothers and sisters were full of respect for the Minister of Industry.

At the same time, Cao Yuan is also very concerned about their future!

I personally applied for identity cards for the two of them and tested their qualifications.

When he learned that his sister Huang Yanshu was extremely talented, he sent Huang Yanshu to a Taoist temple in the capital to study and practice.

Although Huang Yue's talent was average, Cao Yu'an also arranged for him to be a bounty hunter and asked several veterans to lead him personally.

When the time came for separation, Huang Yanshu wanted to enter the Great Dao Temple to practice, while Huang Yue wanted to stay in the capital.

The younger sister cried in confusion, and the elder brother also had tears in his eyes, telling her to practice hard and get ahead.

So the two of them parted.

Since then, Huang Yue has never seen his sister again in eight years!

According to Cao Yu'an, Huang Yanshu became the disciple of the master of the Taoist Temple, and his management was extremely strict. In order to temper his Taoist heart, it was impossible to even step out of the mountain gate in the past few years.

After Huang Yue heard this, although he missed his sister, he thought it was for her own good. In addition, Huang Yanshu would send letters to the capital every month, so he never had any doubts.

Time has passed in a flash.

Cao Yuan also had a smooth official career. At the age of more than 40, he took the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry and was also named Minister of the Ministry of Industry. For a time, he was unparalleled.

As he got promoted, it became increasingly difficult for Huang Yue to see the Minister of Industry, and Cao Yuan's care and help for him gradually decreased.

But even so, Huang Yue had no complaints.

He knew very well that the teacher was just a favor to him, but now that he had helped his brothers and sisters so much, he had already paid it back.

So in the days to come, he would never trouble Cao Yuan no matter what happened.

It wasn't until the third year that his sister Huang Yanshu's letters suddenly stopped.

No news since then.

Huang Yuecai found Cao Yuan again and asked for an introduction. He wanted to see his sister.

But Cao Yuan shook his head helplessly, saying that he was just a court official and could not interfere with the affairs of those Taoist temples.

There is nothing he can do if the temple master prevents his disciples from meeting outsiders.

At the end, he also said that although the temporary separation was painful, Huang Yanshu was now in a critical period of spiritual practice, and she should not let earthly family ties hinder her path to heaven.

After hearing this, Huang Yue had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't find anything to refute, so he left the Shangshu Mansion.

In this way, time passed and another five years passed.

Time comes this year,

In eight years and eight years of bounty career, Huang Yue has transformed from the stupid young man into a middle-aged Qi practitioner. His realm has also broken through from the realm of Kaihai to the realm of spirit.

Five days ago, during a break from work, he went to the "ghost market" on Gusu Mountain in the capital as usual to exchange some magic weapons and spiritual materials.

As for the so-called "ghost market", Yu Chen had also heard about it.

The so-called "ghost" means shady.

Ghost markets, naturally, are not serious markets registered with the Ministry of Industry, but a gray industry.

Rumor has it that during the reign of the late Emperor, the number of casual practitioners increased dramatically because the court favored martial arts and strongly encouraged spiritual practice.

At the same time, in addition to making public security difficult to control, the market in Beijing has also become quite chaotic.

You can even see that the vendor on the left is selling candy, but the vendor on the right is selling the terrifying poisonous poison.

At that time, the capital market not only had firewood, rice, oil, salt, and basic necessities, but also those alchemists who were also trading in the market.

There is a smoky atmosphere, a mixture of fish and dragons.

This has brought great difficulties to the governance of the Beijing market.

The court tried to rectify the situation many times, but to no avail.

——After all, the base of casual cultivators is so large that it is absolutely unrealistic to completely ban them from buying and selling.

There was even a rumor at that time that a minister's servant went out to buy pig embryos to make medicine and drank it, and ended up buying back a bag of Ziheche...

Therefore, the empress at that time, who is now the late empress dowager, that strange woman known as the "Queen Qi", proposed to the late emperor the governance method of "blocking is worse than sparing".

She realized that it was impossible to completely eradicate the gray transactions among the Qi Masters, so she felt that they were gathered together and separated from the market in the capital.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty discussed it for a long time, and finally the late emperor made the decision to do it this way!

As a result, all casual cultivator transactions were driven out of the capital city, and any trading of extraordinary items in the mortal market was explicitly prohibited; however, special markets for trading extraordinary items could be set up outside the capital city.

So outside the capital, large and small extraordinary markets were established.

After several years of development, the "ghost market" on Gusu Mountain is the most large and famous.

The ghost market is divided into two parts, outer square and inner square.

As for Waifang, there's nothing unusual about it. What they sell are some natural treasures and classic spiritual weapons.

As for the inner square, it is not very popular. There are all kinds of things in there.

Huang Yue has stayed in the capital for eight years. He has only been wandering around the outer houses and has never been to the inner houses.

But ten days ago, he couldn't resist the invitation of a colleague who was also a bounty hunter, so he followed him into the inner chamber.

To talk about this ghost city, the word "ghost" should be used.

If you take out anything here, it will be enough to scare the average person to death.

Ornaments sealed with wax from the corpse of a beautiful woman, potted plants grafted from people and trees, incense burners made from skulls, dolls made from the corpses of infants...

As long as you can't think of it, there is nothing you can't buy in Neifang.

As soon as Huang Yue entered, he felt so congested that it was difficult to vent his anger.

Looking at those horrible things, I frowned, I just felt like I was in hell on earth, my scalp was numb!

And his colleague said that this is what the inner workshop is like.

Whether they are alchemists or high-ranking officials in the capital, there are always some psychopathic guys, and the Neifang is the place to satisfy their dark desires.

Here, you can even buy live humans!

After that, the colleague took him into Mirage, the largest trading house in Neifang.

There happened to be a small auction in that huge nine-story building, and the colleague dragged Huang Yue to join in the fun.

The auction items also made Huang Yue frown.

This place is more perverted than other places in Neifang.

There were half-human and half-demon cubs, human pigs with their limbs cut off, human scorpions soaked in wine, and even those who packaged and sold corpses... But the guests below were wearing masks, but their blood was boiling.

Huang Yue watched for a while and then wanted to leave.

He understood that he was not from this dark world.

But just when he was about to turn around and leave, an item caught his attention.

It was a box, five feet high, four feet long and wide, with exquisite carvings on the surface.

Right in front is a switch similar to a door leaf. It seems that if you touch some mechanism, it can be opened like a door.

According to the colleague, this thing is called "Women in the Box". Inside the box are nothing but the heads of some women. When they were just dead, the heads were cut off and refined with secret methods to keep them fresh.

Because of the blessing of the secret method, even if the head inside is dead, it still maintains its instinctive vitality and energy.

As long as specific instructions are spoken to activate the spell in the box, the head inside can make expressions and make sounds.

——It is not a magic weapon, but for those who are curious about it, it is a toy that they can’t put down.

Along with a burst of faint music, the main photographer pressed the button, and the door of the box slowly opened, revealing the extremely beautiful head inside.

Under the influence of the spell, she smiled.

Unparalleled beauty.

But Huang Yue was stunned.

Trembling all over.

The face under the mask looked extremely ferocious for a moment!

——Look at the head in the box. It’s none other than his sister who is studying in the Taoist Temple!
