It's two o'clock in the morning, dead of night.
Wuxiang City was completely silent, but there was a strange street on the outskirts of the city that was bustling with activity. This street is only open at night and is often referred to as a "ghost market".
The so-called ghost market is not haunted. It is actually a black market exchange, used to trade all kinds of shady goods and treasures. It is also called a grave robber’s paradise.
It is called the "ghost market" because the ghost market is only open between midnight and five in the morning. The yin energy is relatively strong during this period, and the purpose of everyone coming here is to trade some shady things, so it has the creepy name of "Ghost Market".
Moreover, the geographical environment of Wuxiang City is quite special, and the updrafts and downdrafts do not follow the rules. As long as the sun rises at five o'clock in the morning, a thick fog will rise on the outskirts of the city, shrouding the ghost market. This heavy fog will dissipate late at night, and the ghost market will appear in front of the world again.
Therefore, the ghost market will "disappear" during the day and "appear" at night. This elusive phenomenon has been exaggerated and exaggerated, naturally giving rise to some mysterious rumors and theories about ghosts and gods, which are daunting.
Qin Feng walked through an alley and came to the corner of the ghost market.
Looking up, Qin Feng saw the plaque on the archway with the word "Ghost Market" engraved in traditional Chinese.
Even just standing on the street, Qin Feng could feel an eerie and terrifying aura. Ordinary humans would not dare to come to such an area with "too much gloomy energy".
In other words, anyone who dares to do business in the ghost market is not an ordinary human being.
Qin Feng smiled evilly, carrying a sword box on his back, and strode into the ghost market.
The appearance of the ghost market is just an ancient street, but it is full of "ghost" elements everywhere.
Soul-calling flags are hung at the doors of shops along the street, and the walls are covered with bloody yellow talismans. All passers-by are dressed in strange clothes, and their faces are painted with weird makeup that is either yin or yang or yang.
These people are ruthless people, and they live a life of licking blood. Judging from their skin color and eyes, there are many foreigners among them. It's always mostly grave robbers, exorcists, poison masters...
Qin Feng looked around and saw that the surrounding shops were selling priceless gold and silver jewelry and agate and jade.
Using the ability to detect treasure auras, Qin Feng learned that these treasures were all burial objects in a certain imperial mausoleum and tomb.
"It seems that the largest group in the ghost market is the tomb robbers, so we are in the right place."
Qin Feng murmured to himself, and then walked deeper into the ghost market.
In the deepest part of the ghost market, there is an auction house called "Baoxian Pavilion". This auction house sits on a six-story loft, like a pagoda, and is magnificent.
Baoxian Pavilion is the largest exchange in the ghost market. Its owner is the most prestigious gold-touching captain in China, Yang Ding.
Qin Feng came here this time to recruit Yang Ding and his team of tomb robbers, and then form an expedition team of his own.
After experiencing a narrow escape in King Xin's tomb, Qin Feng understood a truth. There are many dangers in adventure treasure hunting. It is necessary to form a strong force to deal with crises more calmly.
After walking into Baoxian Pavilion, Qin Feng went directly to the sixth floor.
At around two o'clock in the morning, the hall on the sixth floor of Baoxian Pavilion was overcrowded, with all kinds of people carrying black sacks.
Qin Feng took a look with his clairvoyance ability and saw that the black sacks contained heavy amounts of US dollar cash, indicating that the auction was of high quality and that some special rare treasures would be auctioned.
Qin Feng sat in the corner, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, waiting quietly.
Amid everyone's discussions and cheers, two men and one woman wearing tomb-robber night clothes slowly walked to the high platform of the auction.
The appearance of these three people caused the whole place to boil.
Qin Feng also cheered up and looked around. On the high platform of the auction, the three people were in high spirits.
The man standing in the center is tall and straight. Although he has a slovenly appearance, his eyes are as sharp as an eagle. This person is currently the most prestigious and powerful "Golden Colonel" in China, Yang Ding.
The man standing on the left hand side of Yang Ding is named Pang Fei. He is the most famous "Xiling Warrior" in China. He has a strong build, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks like a dynamite barrel. His arms are thicker than an adult's thighs.
The beauty located on the right side of Yang Ding is called Chen Keren. She is the most outstanding "mountain-moving Taoist" in China. She is tall, has long legs, and has fair skin. She is a woman with both beauty and talent.
These three people are known as the three giants in the tomb robbing world. Their status and prestige are unparalleled and beyond the reach of all their peers.
Qin Feng squinted his eyes, with an interesting smile on his lips. He had investigated these three people beforehand.
Yang Ding, Pang Fei and Chen Keren are the most outstanding tomb robbers in the world of tomb exploration.
Yang Ding, who belongs to the lineage of "Mojin Xiaowei", is proficient in the secret technique of Tianxing Feng Shui. He also knows the dragon-seeking technique and the gold-dividing acupoints. The most awesome one was that through compass analysis, a hole was directly dug. Directly below the hole was the coffin in the main hall of the tomb. Without any effort, all the treasures of the tomb owner were stolen.
Pang Fei, who belongs to the lineage of "Xiling Rikishi", is proficient in traditional martial arts, and can also develop explosives and weapons to deal with mummies. Able to defeat cleverness with strength, he has a unique tool, the centipede hanging on the mountain ladder.
Chen Keren is currently the only female "Moshan Taoist" in the world. He carries a certain mysterious curse and is good at using the Mountain Moving Taoist Technique, which is similar to Qin Feng's Maoshan Taoist Technique.
Qin Feng took a fancy to the strength of these three people and planned to take them under his command.
However, strong people are often unwilling to rely on others. If Qin Feng wants to conquer these three tomb robbers, he must use his strength to speak for himself.
"Boss Yang, we all heard that you went to King Pan's Tomb this time, and you must have caught a lot of treasures!"
"Yes, Boss Yang, please stop being so pretentious and quickly put the treasures out for auction. I came here carrying a sack of money!"
People in the audience were talking a lot and urging.
Yang Ding on the stage smiled and said lazily: "Brothers and sisters, please be patient. The three of us went to King Pan's Tomb to fight, and naturally obtained many treasures. One of the most famous treasures, It’s the Jade Blood Qilin Seal!”
As soon as Yang Ding finished speaking, the entire audience let out incredible exclamations, and the crowd was excited.
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows. He knew the value of the "Jade Blood Qilin Seal". The market value started at least 100 million!
At the same time, Qin Feng also recognized Yang Ding as a talented tomb robber, because the tomb of King Pan was recognized as a "mortal tomb".
Mortal tombs usually refer to some heinous tombs with murderous mechanisms. Even top-notch tomb robbers will die violently.
The fact that Yang Ding's team was able to obtain the peerless treasure from King Pan's tomb and return unscathed shows that they are indeed powerful.
Next, Yang Ding took out the jade blood unicorn seal from the sheepskin bag.
This is a red jade seal with a unicorn totem engraved on its surface. It exudes a strong smell of blood and can drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and can control the house and eliminate disasters.
