【Law of the Abyss】

Mu Bei brought 10,000 yuan with him. He found it when he opened the black package that Grandma Huo gave him last time. Inside it were her notes and the 10,000 yuan. It should have been what he had given her before, but she hadn't touched it and returned it intact.

Mu Bei followed Qin Changqing to the Black Bird Market. As soon as he walked in, he was stunned.

The houses are densely packed together, crisscrossing each other. From above, it looks like a large bird skeleton, and the houses are built underneath the skeleton.

"What you see are the skeletons of the black bird. It came from the center of the abyss and died here. Its body did not decay and was discovered by people. They built a house here. More and more houses were built until it became what it is today," Qin Changqing explained.

Each house is actually a store, selling different things, including various foods, rare treasures. Whatever you can think of is here, and even things you can't think of are here, which makes Mu Bei marvel at it again and again.

Qin Bei led Mu Bei into a store. There was no sign at the door, and no one was there. As soon as they entered, they were blocked by someone. A man with pockmarks on his face sat on a recliner, closed his eyes, and said leisurely, "Old rules."

Qin Changqing took out a stone armor and threw it to him. Seeing this, Mu Bei also gave him a stone armor.

The man took the two stone armors and threw them directly into his mouth without even looking at them. He ate them with a crunching sound and enjoyed them so much.

"Well, the quality is a bit worse. It turns out that the taste of three-year-old grapes is not as good as that of five-year-old grapes."

After the man finished speaking, he opened his eyes, revealing a pair of grayish-white pupils that looked like cloudy glass marbles. Mu Bei's scalp tingled when he stared at him.

"A new face? Do you know the rules?"

What? What rules? Mu Bei looked flustered and looked at Qin Changqing for help.

Qin Changqing signaled him with his eyes not to panic, and said to the man in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Uncle Ma, he is my cousin, come in and open your eyes, I know the rules."

"Yeah." The man threw two black bird cards to Qin Changqing, and he gave one to Mu Bei.

"Take it. You can exchange it for Blackbird cards if you see something you like."

The two men walked in, and Mu Bei was shocked again. The place was incredibly large, an open, enclosed circular venue. The sky above the venue was made up of countless small black stones, glowing faintly, forming a pattern of a black bird.

There are countless concentric circles on the circular venue, each of which is divided into many small pieces. Each small piece is a door, and the door is marked with different numbers and patterns.

"Whatever you want to find, you can just push the door open and go in. The pattern on the door represents the type of things inside, and the number is the room number. There are 365 such rooms here in total."

"It doesn't matter to me. What about you?" He had never seen it before anyway, so he just followed Qin Changqing and took a look.

"Remember, don't take the initiative to talk to the landlord." Qin Changqing warned.

"Ah?" Mu Bei was surprised. "Why?"

"This is the rule."

"What would happen if we said that?" Mu Bei asked again.

“No one knows, because those who break the rules will be excluded from the Blackbird Market and will never be able to enter.”

After saying that, Qin Changqing walked into a room and Mu Bei followed him in.

To Mu Bei's surprise, the room was not small. The entire wall was filled with various stones, and each stone had a red triangle mark on it.

Mu Bei looked around and found quite a few people, all picking stones, except for one man wearing a black bird mask who was looking in the mirror.

The mask covered the person's face, but could not hide her charming peach blossom eyes and her long, black, smooth hair that shone like brocade. "She is the owner of the house." Qin Changqing whispered in Mu Bei's ear.

Mu Bei was not surprised at all. He saw Qin Changqing chose a white stone, but he was attracted by a green stone because he found something moving inside the green stone. He couldn't see what it was and it was wrapped in a ball of white light.

Mu Bei picked up the green stone and walked to the homeowner with Qin Changqing. Qin Changqing placed the stone and the black bird card in his hand in front of the woman, and Mu Bei did the same.

The woman glanced at them indifferently, took the Blackbird card, and tapped the two stones. The stones flashed a light, and the triangular logo on them disappeared.

Mu Bei picked up the stone and walked out with Qin Changqing. Just when they were about to go out, the woman suddenly called them, her voice hoarse and low.

"Why did you choose bluestone?" The woman looked at Mu Beidao.

"I picked it randomly." Mu Beidao. He couldn't say that he saw the glow inside and wanted to take it back to study it, right?

The woman seemed dissatisfied with Mu Bei's answer and smiled faintly.

"I'm not selling it. You keep it." The woman pushed out ten black bird cards and placed them in front of him, saying, "I'll pay you ten times as much."

This was the first time that Mu Bei encountered such a situation. Could he still regret the deal?

When the other people in the room saw this, they gathered around.

Passerby A said, "Young man, don't be afraid. The things are yours. Don't pay attention to her. Your transaction is reasonable and legal. She has no right to regret it. Even if she regrets it, Lord Blackbird will not agree."

Passerby B said: "Yes, no one does business like this, leave her alone."

Passerby C said, "Young man, if you are willing, I will offer twenty blackbird cards for this stone in your hand, how about that?"

Twenty blackbird cards, this stone is so valuable? Mu Bei thought in his heart.

"Hey, you are so lucky, kid. How can this be a stone? It is clearly a bluebird egg, which is a priceless treasure." The long-lost voice appeared in his mind again.

"Bluebird eggs?" Mu Bei was puzzled.

"Bluebirds lay eggs. A bluebird can only lay eggs when it finds its destined mate. They are born in the abyss, are good at riding the wind, are free by nature, and are extremely difficult to capture. Go back and find a way to hatch it. If you succeed, you can raise it as a soul beast. Before you find your natal soul beast, raising a soul beast can temporarily help you prolong your life."

"Thank you for telling me this."

"You don't have to thank me. It's just that I finally found a little brother of mine, but I haven't succeeded in recruiting you yet. I don't want you to die." Xiao Qinglong said righteously.

Mu Bei laughed out loud, attracting everyone's attention.

"Young man, don't be scared. Say something whether you agree or not." Passerby C said.

"I advise you to leave quickly and ignore them. I don't want to meet that guy Black Bird. He is not easy to deal with." Xiao Qinglong said again.

Mu Bei smiled and shook his head: "No, I won't sell this." Then he walked out.

But before Mu Bei could walk out, a figure rushed over, knocked him to the ground, snatched the bluebird egg from his hand, and ran out.

Mu Bei hurriedly chased him out the door, but was stopped by Qin Changqing: "Don't worry, he can't run away. Robbery is not allowed here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a scream. The man who had just robbed him of his things had his arm twisted and was carried away by two men in black who appeared out of nowhere.

Then, a tall man with short black hair walked towards Mu Bei.

The man was very young, and he exuded an oppressive feeling that kept strangers away.

He stopped an arm's length away from Mu Bei. The man was wearing black leather gloves. He stretched out his right hand, and the bluebird egg lay in his palm.

"Yours." The man's voice was as cold as ice.

"Thank you." Mu Bei took the bluebird egg and put it into the space ring.

The man nodded slightly at him, walked past him and entered the room.

A woman's sweet laughter sounded behind him: "Master Blackbird, you haven't been here for a long time? I'm so bored."

"Qingli, you violated the rules." The man's voice was cold.

"Oh, I wouldn't dare. I was just testing that guy at the time, but I didn't expect that he wasn't the one we were looking for. It was such a bargain for him and a waste for me..."
