After running all night, Zhao Wujiang finally arrived in Lanzhou at dawn.
He led the horse that had not had a good rest and crossed the gate of Lantong City.
Lantong City is the easternmost city in Lanzhou.
Although it was still dark, the vendors had already set up their stalls and started shouting.
Zhao Wujiang walked into a small inn and handed the waiter a piece of silver to feed the horse with concentrated feed.
As soon as the inn opened its doors, it welcomed generous guests. The waiter happily led the horse into the stable.
Zhao Wujiang, who was covered in dust, ate the hot food and swallowed it in his belly. His slightly tense energy and spirit relaxed a little.
He planned to rest here for an hour or two to recharge his batteries before setting off.
"Waiter? Waiter? Hey, where is the waiter?"
A light voice sounded with doubts, and two figures stepped over the threshold, shouting as they walked.
"Ouch, two guests...Guests? Are you working as a receptionist or staying in a hotel?" A chubby and honest middle-aged man opened the curtain and walked out of the back room. When he saw the visitor, he was startled for a moment, then smiled. Keju asked.
The middle-aged man whom Zhao Wujiang had met before was the shopkeeper of the inn.
There are probably only three or five people in this small inn, the waiter, the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper's wife, the waiter...
Zhao Wujiang followed the sound and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The person who crossed the threshold and called the waiter was a little Taoist nun.
The little Taoist nun is about fourteen or fifteen years old. She is slim and petite. She is wearing a black and white Taoist robe. The hem of the Taoist robe is stained with a lot of mud. She is carrying a mahogany dagger with a red rope tied to the hilt. A yellow card is strung on the red rope. Paper talisman with vermilion talismans painted on it.
She did not wear a Taoist crown, but her dark green hair was tied into two Taoist buns on the left and right sides of her head that looked like meatballs. Under her neat bangs, there was a pair of big, smart eyes that kept flickering, looking at everything in the inn.
Behind the little Taoist nun, stood a tall woman.
This woman is also a Taoist nun. She is tall, has picturesque features, and has a cold temperament. She is only dressed in dark black Taoist robes and is spotless. She does not carry a wooden sword or whisk.
The black hair is hanging down like a waterfall, tied by a small dark green rattan, and draped behind the head.
Wearing a wooden crown on his head, the crown is like a pair of fishes connected from head to tail, and a peach wood hairpin passes through the mouth of the fishes. Qiu Shui's eyes were filled with indifference and he did not speak.
"Are you the shopkeeper? Can you bring me some food?" The little Taoist nun was only as tall as the tall Taoist nun's chest. She raised her head slightly and asked the honest middle-aged man.
"Yes, yes, I wonder if the two guests have any taboos..." The middle-aged man scratched his head. He had seen Taoist monks, but Taoist nuns were extremely rare.
Especially these two Taoist nuns, one is petite and cute, and the other is extremely beautiful. She is infinitely more beautiful than her mother-in-law. She looks like a fairy as the neighbors often say.
He secretly thought that he was guilty and had evil intentions, so he lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at the tall Taoist nun.
"No, shopkeeper." The little Taoist nun shook her head.
The tall Taoist nun added:
"Please send me some light food."
The shopkeeper bowed repeatedly, he was a person who believed in Buddhism and Taoism the most when doing business.
The two Taoist nuns were sitting not far from Zhao Wujiang, waiting to eat.
The tall Taoist nun sat upright. Perhaps the scenery in front of her was too impressive, or the distance between the tables and chairs was too narrow, so she could only place heavy and soft things on the table.
The little Taoist nun was lying on the table with her hands folded, her head resting on her arms, her little feet dangling constantly, and her eyes looking around in boredom.
"Sister Miaozhen, Lan..." the little Taoist nun muttered. Maybe she realized that what she said was wrong, so she changed her words:
"There really is what the masters said..."
"Qing Ling!" The tall Taoist nun's eyes moved slightly, signaling the little Taoist nun to stop talking, lest the secret be leaked and others could spy on her.
"Oh..." The little Taoist nun shut up obediently, a little afraid of the stealing senior sister in front of her.
Both of them came from the Dao sect, but she came from the Dao sect's Earth sect, while the senior sister Miaozhen she mentioned came from the Dao sect's Ren sect.
