Chapter 18 The Night's Sleep Meeting
The next day, early in the morning.
They left 708 Island Town, climbed over the spine-like mountains in the middle of the island, and headed to the other side of the island.
There is a vast black forest of giant trees that stretches all the way to the border beach.
The location of this night sleep gathering is in this dark forest of giant trees.
"Master, how did you know the location of the meeting?" Wang Yu asked as he walked in the forest what he didn't understand.
Sun Chengshan casually threw a temporarily purchased woodcutter to Wang Yu to use to clear a path in the forest.
"I'm an old member of their assembly, you see."
He took out a bamboo stick from his trouser pocket that seemed to be used to pray to gods and Buddhas. It was green in color and the material was as round as jade.
"Here, this is it, the bamboo stick that Ye Mian gave you to carry the message. Did you see the words on it?" Sun Chengshan pointed at the bamboo stick and said.
Wang Yu looked and saw that there was indeed a line of neat handwriting on the bamboo stick, which appeared a light shiny white color.
[On July 5, 772 of the Blue Star Calendar, a night sleep gathering will be held in the 708 Island Forest. The detailed coordinates are as follows...]
After Sun Chengshan's explanation, Wang Yu finally understood this so-called bamboo stick.
There are no signal communication devices such as mobile phones in this world, but there is a kind of magical bamboo called heart bamboo.
It can be made into bamboo sticks like the one in Sun Chengshan's hand.
There is also a piece of bamboo core inside. If you write on it with water, the same words will appear on all bamboo sticks made of the same bamboo within 300 kilometers.
"If you use that powder to write, the best transmission distance can be more than a thousand kilometers. You have never seen these things before, but in our cultivation world, they are no longer a rare thing." Sun Chengshan is quite knowledgeable.
additional instructions.
This is obviously their most commonly used means of communication. Although it is not as convenient as mobile phone calls, it still looks quite magical.
"This trip is recommended by me. When the time comes, you pay the entrance fee of 100 broken crystal coins and receive such a message bamboo stick. If there is a gathering held near you in the future, you will receive their message."
Wang Yu nodded.
This night sleep party has a very simple method of attracting new customers, basically through the recommendation of old members.
If there were no old people leading the new, ordinary people would not be able to enter such a gathering even if they knew it existed.
"In addition, if you want to sell something valuable in a hurry, you can also find people who sleep in the night during gatherings. They will not care about the origin of the item. As long as it passes the tasting, they will buy it at a suitable price.
"
Sun Chengshan was meticulous in everything he did, and he told Wang Yu all the details of the gathering's rules and regulations along the way.
The black forest of giant trees on the back of the island has been developed to a very limited extent.
When the town was founded, it was probably only a preliminary investigation of the danger sources in this area, and now it is sparsely populated.
Near the beach, there is a very abrupt open space in the forest, which is temporarily surrounded by a row of wooden fences.
There are large torches stuck on the wooden stakes, and the light guides people walking through the forest from a distance.
Many figures wearing black robes, hoods on their heads, and black masks on their faces were wandering around like ghosts, and their identities seemed quite mysterious.
In the distance, two figures were approaching.
Each is also wearing a simple coat and robe, and a mask on his face.
"Remember, never reveal your identity in a gathering, and don't try to spy on other people. This is the biggest taboo inside."
"Yes, master."
The voices speaking were familiar, they were Sun Chengshan and Wang Yu.
Through the mask, his eyes fell on the men in black robes.
These people are members of Ye Mian.
The men in black robes who were patrolling outside did not pay much attention to the arrival of Wang Yu and the two men.
Just walk up to the fenced entrance.
There were also several men in black robes guarding there. Sun Chengshan skillfully took out the message bamboo stick and handed over a star ticket with a face value of 100 as the admission fee.
One of the men in black robes took the message bamboo stick and nodded after confirming that it was from within Ye Mian.
"This is the newcomer I brought." Sun Chengshan said in a deep voice. His familiar voice changed slightly, becoming hoarse and dull, like an old man.
Seeing the man in black robe looking over, Wang Yu immediately took out a star ticket and handed it over.
The man in black robe didn't say anything, he just took the star ticket, then took out a brand new bamboo stick and handed it to Wang Yu.
Then he made way and let them both in.
In the open space inside, there are many large tents temporarily built.
There were also some large tree stumps left, and a large bonfire in the middle, burning with boiling flames and sparks splashing into the air. This bonfire was particularly eye-catching.
There are also several large trucks carrying goods parked nearby, also guarded by night sleepers.
Outside the camp, on tree stumps, and around the campfire, many outsiders who participated in this gathering had gathered, at least a hundred.
Some of them were looking around, while others were looking down and thinking about something.
In addition, there are also people in the camp.
These camps are the focus today, responsible for the trading of items.
"I've said everything that needs to be said. Let's go our separate ways and gather here after shopping," Sun Chengshan said.
Soon the two separated.
Wang Yu decided to take a look first, so he casually entered a tent.
When I opened the door curtain, a burst of warmth hit me.
There are several braziers placed in the tent, and the heat source comes from these braziers.
It must be said that the atmosphere of this gathering was well enhanced by the members of Ye Mian, which dispelled a lot of the chill coming from the sea and made people feel comfortable.
Wooden tables were arranged neatly in the tent, divided into several rows.
There is a Night Sleep member in charge of each large wooden table.
Various objects are placed on the wooden table.
It is worth mentioning that the auras of these Ye Mian members are all very powerful, and the sense of oppression at close range is even more intense, making people dare not mess around here at all.
There were only three or five outsiders in the camp he was in at this time, and they were looking around at the objects on the table, and at the same time looking at the tasting information and prices marked next to the objects.
"I want this."
Suddenly, a masked man who had been standing for a long time pointed to a simple and heavy short-handled sickle on the table in front of him and said.
"Eight thousand eight hundred." A member of Ye Mian said indifferently, it was a male voice.
The masked man was also quite straightforward, taking out a stack of star tickets and placing them on the table, which amounted to eight thousand eight hundred and one cents.
As early as the appearance of the gathering, there was an express rule that bargaining on the prices of items sold here was not allowed.
The price can only be set by the person who sleeps at night, and it won't matter if it's a penny less.
After the members of Ye Mian finished counting the money and nodded, he took the short-handled sickle in the long box and turned around without stopping without saying a word.
Due to the mask, he couldn't see the buyer's face clearly, but he probably liked the weapon quite a lot.
I believe it will not be an ordinary product, after all, it is worth an expensive price of 8,800 broken crystal coins.
Scanning the objects on several tables, Wang Yu found that the tent was mostly filled with various cold weapon-like objects, with prices ranging from high to low.
It ranges from a few hundred to tens of thousands. The gap is so huge that there is simply no comparison.
Wang Yu was practicing boxing and was not very interested in these martial arts weapons, nor were they on his list of targets this time.
After reading it briefly, he changed tents to read again.
