Chapter 108 Went the Wrong Way

The Ghost Market, whether in classical novels or those from the Ming dynasty, all have more or less a trace of its existence. Some Ghost Markets are set as underground markets responsible for circulating items that can't withstand the light of day.

And another setting, is the one Zhou Li faces now.

Ghosts selling to ghosts.

Lantern...

Zhou Li still remembered Xu Xuan specifically cautioned him, to enter the Ghost Market, firstly, one needed a lantern that proved you were qualified to enter, also known as a 'short-lived lantern'. This lantern needed to be purchased from a being known as Little Hei, but the problem was Zhou Li neither knew who this Little Hei was nor where to find him, let alone how to make the purchase.

But what troubled Zhou Li the most wasn't really the lantern. The lantern acted more like an ID card, and not sneaking in wouldn't be a problem.

The Death Tax was the key.
