Chapter 36 The Key to Fate

Ding Ning and Shen Yi walked side by side.

In front of them, many sheds were stacked together, and they were already a fish market.

"Actually, I can't see anything when I go to the fish market now." Ding Ning turned to look at Chen Yi and said without any concealment: "Even if it is an underground business, there are very few that open in the New Year."

Chen Yi said: "It's okay, there is a quiet scenery, and there is a lively scenery."

Ding Ning turned his head strangely, looked at the young man in Guanzhong and said, "It seems that this shouldn't be what a person with your personality said."

Chen Yi laughed and said, "Senior brother is really aware of his thoughts. This is indeed not what I said, but a famous saying by my uncle. Next, there are a few sentences. I really need to see a scenery in one place. It is not just when it is quiet or lively, but also when it is a friend. It is not only when it is proud, but also when it is frustrated, when it is down and in danger."

If you can say it is a "famous quote", the person who speaks must be extremely famous, so Ding Ning, who has already entered the fish market, asked: "Who is your uncle?"

Chen Yi said: "My uncle is Chen Huai."

Ding Ning was slightly stunned: "One of the five swords in Guanzhong?"

Chen Yi nodded.

Ding Ning glanced at him, "I didn't expect that he was your uncle, so why didn't you learn swords from him?"

There are many swordsmen in Guanzhong, and they can be recognized as one of the five most powerful swords. Chen Huai's reputation is naturally extremely great.

Chen Yi whispered in shame: "My sword itself was taught by him personally."

Ding Ning was stunned and said, "Sorry."

Chen Yi shook his head and said, "The same sword scripture has created different practitioners. My uncle told me that the key to practicing is the path chosen by oneself."

Ding Ning nodded and said, "He said it right, and his vision sometimes determines the height."

"I should have come to Changling early, otherwise how could I have thought that there was such a unique place in the world?" Chen Yi had already followed Ding Ning into the fish market. He looked at the streets and alleys around him as if immersed in the ghost realm, and looked at the lanterns that were faintly like ghost fire in the darkness, and asked curiously: "There are really transactions in everything here, including some forbidden objects. Can I even buy them?"

Ding Ning glanced at him and said, "You can buy it, but you must go through some of the middlemen here."

Chen Yi, who knew there must be many ways here, asked even more curiously: "Can you participate in some underground auctions and the like?"

"Of course," said Ding Ning: "But you must get the trust of those middlemen. As your wealthy child in Guanzhong, you should not have any problems if you want to participate. But when you really want to buy something, you still have to bid. Otherwise, many people will know who the thing will eventually fall into, which will bring disaster."

Chen Yi said sincerely: "If you have the opportunity, you really have to see it. Maybe there will be some suitable things."

The mutton shop in the west corner sells mutton outside, but there are human traffickers inside. They sell children who are not brought back from remote places or even the tailor shop in the east specializes in the talisman business of the Great Chu Dynasty. In the three stilt houses near the pond at the bottom, there are overseas thieves' accounting dens. If you want to participate in an underground auction with various types of cultivators, you need to find Xue Mazi who sells tung oil or Lao Zhoutou who sells salted fish.

Ding Ning led Chen Yi to the deepest part of the fish market and the bottom part of the fish market. At the same time, he slowly explained the many ways in the fish market to him softly.

Chen Yi listened more and more with relish, but he didn't notice that Ding Ning's speech speed became slower and slower.

"No matter what you hear me say, you must not have any obvious changes in your expression. Just listen to me chatting with you, and don't be noticed that there are any abnormalities." Suddenly, Ding Ning's words came to his ears.

Because of his slow speech, Chen Yi had enough reaction time. He was shocked, but he controlled his emotions very well and asked softly: "What?"

Today, Riding Ning came to the fish market just to greet the lonely old woman and talk to her. However, just now, he had already felt a strange and dangerous atmosphere.

"If someone wants to assassinate me and dares to attack in the fish market, he will be a real outlaw, so this matter involves you." Ding Ning said calmly and slowly: "Although I don't know who it is, your life and I are in your hands now, so you must listen carefully and remember every word I say, and you cannot make any mistakes."

Looking at the extremely calm streets and alleys around him, Chen Yi, who could not feel any murderous intention, was getting more and more shocked, but the solemnity contained in Ding Ning's calm words made him sure that this was not a joke.

"You said, I will do it." He nodded and said softly.

Ding Ning lowered his voice, lowered his head slightly, and even his lips were hidden in the shadow: "I will take you through several stores later. The owners of those stores are not ordinary people, and they all have something to do with the owners of the fish market. I just don't know which stores are now open, and which ones will be opened later. After entering, you start calculating the time. After fifty breaths, you will tell the owner of the store as fast as possible that someone is about to kill someone in the fish market, and the location is at Guijianchou Wharf."

Chen Yi naturally didn't understand why Ding Ning asked him to calculate the time, but he still remembered every word seriously, and said softly in an extremely simple voice: "Enter the store, count the time, fifty breaths, ask for help, Guijianchou Pier."

Ding Ning nodded calmly and said, "It's good to remember. What I say to you next will be a regular chat again."

Chen Yi glanced at him and said, "I understand."

...

Ding Ning continued to lead the way and walked towards the stilt building where the old woman was.

He continued to talk about the way in the fish market, but his heart was filled with unspeakable anger and coldness.

As he and Changsun Qianxue said, he was unwilling to involve the business lady because of some old things, and did not want to use any of her powers. However, today is just an ordinary visit to the old man. In such a new year, someone forced him to borrow the power of the fish market.

Who is it?

His heart became colder and angry, but his thoughts became more and more active, and he was considering more and more successors.

Most of the ponds at the lowest lying of the fish market are covered by the roofs of the sheds, so there is not much snow. At this time, only two knuckle-thick ice surfaces formed on the water surface.

Two rays of faint fire suddenly appeared in the depths of Ding Ning's calm eyes, and his eyes fell on the broken flower sword on his waist again.

At this time, he had already arrived near the several stores he and Shen Yi mentioned.

There is only one store open at the moment, with a scent of fire and a human being inside.

Ding Ning knew that the owner of the store was running a weapon business, and there were many good swords in his stilt house.

Li Daoji bought the last flower and skeleton sword that day.

The person who had nothing to do with it was all related to this broken sword, so it was really like a fate caused by countless grievances. This broken sword seemed like a key to open his fate, which was covered here and had been waiting for him for many years.

"That shop sells swords. You don't need any intermediary when you go in alone. The owner of the shop has many good swords in the company Changling that are not as good as those in practice. You can go and take a look and wait for me here. I will meet you here after the New Year." Ding Ning pointed to the shop, raised his head and looked at Chen Yi calmly and said.

Of course, Chen Yi understood that Ding Ning's words were just "chats". Of course, he could not wait for Ding Ning to come back here to meet him. So he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since I only opened this one, I will just go shopping for this one."

Ding Ning smiled slightly and left Chen Yi here to continue moving forward.

Chen Yi looked at him with a little more respect. He could still smile like this at such a critical moment. He was really inferior to him.

...

Ding Ning frowned slightly undetectedly. The Guijianchou pier in front of him was located below several stilt houses piled with dry firewood. There were no shops nearby and their vision was covered. It was actually the best assassination site on this route. If he changed his position, he would choose to attack in that place.

The smells he felt at this moment were all moving towards that place, which shows that these people were indeed here to deal with themselves rather than having any plans for Chen Yi.

He took a deep breath, and the countless "little silkworms" in his body also woke up with his breath, surging silently in his body.

Chen Yi was as calm as possible, but after pushing the door and entering the store, his breathing became a little rapid.

"kindness?"

The man with hair on the couch inside seemed to feel Chen Yi's strangeness instantly and let out a soft hum.

Chen Yi thought of Ding Ning's warning and thought that he could not have problems early, so he immediately took a deep breath, began to calculate the time in his heart, and said, "I come from the Shen family in Guanzhong. I heard that you have many good swords here."

The man with his hair that was unseen in the dark looked at him coldly, but without saying much, his body moved backwards.

As the blanket was lifted up on his body, while revealing the black sword box below, Chen Yi also saw clearly that he had no feet.

His feet were knee-to-knee broken!

Seeing such a scene, Chen Yi could no longer control his emotions and couldn't help but let out a low voice: "You have difficulty in your legs and feet... What should I do!"
