There was a deep knife mark on the weathered wooden plaque, almost splitting it in half.
She stood among the endless flow of people, and people passed by her from time to time, which was enough to see the prosperity of this city.
"Jibei City?" Qin Shu looked at the plaque with a thoughtful expression.
Why does this name sound familiar? I seem to have heard someone mention it.
She touched her chin and thought for a long time, until her eyes fell on the little black snake hanging on her shoulder, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.
Isn't this the city that was massacred by the demons? ! Xie Shiyuan was regarded as a big devil because of this.
Unexpectedly, the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman accidentally teleported her here?
The rumored dead city has now returned to its vibrant appearance. Time is really a good thing.
But now that we have the exact location, we can just send a message to Master and the others.
Qin Shu took out the jade slip and sent out the news that she had arrived in Jibei City, then she walked toward the city with her chest raised and her head raised.
However, as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped.
"The entrance fee is twenty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones."
Qin Shu's eyes widened, "So expensive?"
She vaguely remembered that when she first went to Tailai City, the entry fee was only five yuan of low-grade spiritual stones.
"If it's too expensive, don't go in." The guard at the city gate gave her a look of disgust.
An old man standing in line behind Qin Shu kindly reminded Qin Shu when he saw this, "Girl, don't feel bad about this spiritual stone. Jibei City is next to the Mixi Forest, and there will be beast tides breaking out from time to time. I'll watch. It’s cloudy again today, but it’s still safe to go into the city.”
Qin Shu had never been here before. When she heard what he said, she looked up at the sky again. Even a fool knew that cloudy days might not be safe.
Looking back at the city gate guard with his nostrils turned upward, he suddenly felt that he was very pleasing to the eye. As the old man said, the entrance fee of twenty yuan for low-grade spiritual stones was indeed not expensive.
She quickly cupped her fists and thanked the person, "Thank you, senior, for the advice."
She had taken off all the defensive charms she had attached to her body and put them away carefully. At this time, she was only wearing men's clothes that she had found in the Crimson Gold City when she first came to the world of cultivation. They were all cheap goods. Hanging from her waist was a worn storage bag that she used to carry her poverty.
She dug around and counted twenty low-grade spiritual stones and handed them over. She was about to enter the city when she was stopped again by the city guard.
"Wait a minute."
Qin Shu looked up in confusion and saw the guard pointing at the little black snake on her shoulder and said, "Your spiritual pet also needs twenty spiritual stones."
Qin Shu: "..."
The big snake gave her so many spirit stones, so she wouldn't throw him outside the city gate for twenty low-grade spirit stones.
Of course, this spiritual stone cannot be given away happily. Those who are away from home cannot reveal their wealth.
She frowned and bargained with the guards. Finally, when the two men couldn't bear it and wanted to drive her away, they reluctantly found twenty low-grade spiritual stones and handed them over.
In just a short while, the sky turned extremely dark, black clouds rolled over the city, and it seemed like a heavy rain would fall in the next moment.
More and more people were walking outside the city, and Qin Shu quickly quickened her pace.
With so many people, staying there at night might be a problem.
Many years ago, Jibei City was still a small border town in Dongzhou. Nowadays, because more and more monks go to the Misi Forest to catch monsters, Jibei City has gradually become more prosperous.
As soon as you step into the city gate, you will be greeted by the hustle and bustle of the world.
The monks here are all licking blood from the edge of the knife, and their personalities are more violent than the monks in other cities.
Even the rules in the city are particularly unique. For example... fighting is prohibited here, but dueling with flags is allowed.
In the center of the city is a huge arena, which is also a place for the monks in the city to settle their personal grudges.
There are a total of eight areas around the city. It is said that on the day the new city was established, Master Xingchen from Tianji Pavilion came to see it in person and asked them to build it according to the formation map. If the demons invade again in the future, they will be able to fight. .
Qin Shu searched for a long time, but couldn't find a place to stay. Almost all the inns in the city were full of people.
Seeing that the heavy rain was coming, Qin Shu experienced for the first time the feeling of having money but no place to spend it.
She stood under an eaves, wondering where to find a place to hide from the rain.
Finally, his eyes looked around and landed on a pub opposite. After thinking about it, he dived in.
The tavern was full of strong men shirtless and wearing animal skins. As soon as they entered the door, a pungent smell hit them.
The smell of sweat mixed with the smell of alcohol. Qin Shu frowned slightly and used a cleaning technique. The messy room suddenly became clean, and even the smell of sweat on the strong men was cleaned away.
The waiter suddenly felt a sense of freshness on the tip of his nose. He was stunned for a moment before turning his head to look at Qin Shu, who had just walked in.
"Fairy, are you... coming to drink?"
He was a little surprised. This man who looked young and didn't seem to have a big wallet probably just wanted to take shelter from the rain.
Qin Shu nodded slightly, "Well, what good wine do you have?"
The visitor is a guest, and this person is also a monk after all.
The waiter in the shop led her aside, pointed to a few signs hanging on the wall and said to her: "There are ordinary turbid wines, spicy red flame demon root wine, and moso bamboo shield leaves with fresh flavors... and There is Fire Lotus and Golden Silkworm Wine, which is very expensive.”
Qin Shu slapped ten low-grade spiritual stones on the table and said to the waiter: "Bring me a pot of turbid wine!"
When the waiter heard what she said, he didn't seem surprised. On the contrary, he was even more sure that she was just here to take shelter from the rain.
Then he raised his voice and said, "Wait a moment."
Qin Shu found a table by the window and sat down. Several strong men who were drinking and rolling dice called her, "Little boy!"
Qin Shu turned around and glanced, and saw two of them were already staggering towards her with wine bottles, "Little boy, are you here to drink too?"
Qin Shu nodded. At this time, raindrops began to fall outside the window. The raindrops fell on the bluestone bricks, splashing large patterns.
The two people sat down opposite Qin Shu. Their burly bodies were squeezed onto a bench, which looked a little crowded.
"Are you here to take shelter from the rain?"
Qin Shu said nothing, but looked up at them warily, wanting to see what they were going to say.
"At first glance, it seems that I just came to Jibei City and I have no money to stay in a hotel. When it rains, the business of the inn is particularly good."
"Why? Will something happen on a rainy day?" Qin Shu took the opportunity to inquire.
"It's okay when it rains, but there must be no thunder. Once it thunders, all the monsters in the forest will run out." One of them explained with a cheerful smile.
Qin Shu raised her head and looked at the layers of black clouds outside the sky through the half-closed window, feeling that the situation was not optimistic.
"You just came here, do you want to join us? When the weather clears, we will go hunting monsters in the woods. If we can catch a high-level monster, let alone stay in an inn, it is not impossible to buy a house in the southeast district. "
Qin Shu could tell at a glance that one of the two people was at the sixth level of Qi training, and the other was at the seventh level of Qi training. With such a level of cultivation, they still wanted to catch high-level monsters? It's more like filling the gaps in the teeth of high-level monsters.
"I...I'm afraid I can't do it. My cultivation level is low and I will hold you back." Qin Shu pretended to be frightened and muttered in a low voice.
"Hey, there's nothing to be afraid of! Our boss can teach you how to practice!"
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
The two people didn't know what they were paying attention to. Qin Shu followed their words and pretended to be excited: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. We'll take you back to see the boss later. The boss treats the new teammates very well. You'll know when you come back with us."
