Not long after the two entered the city, Qianqiu ran out of the sand on a knife. Finally he saw the gate of Huanghu City and began to walk slowly. After driving for a long time, one person and one horse ate a lot of sand.
"Xiao Dao, I suddenly remembered why you didn't come to help me just now and just watched that woman beat me crazily." Qianqiu suddenly remembered that when he was at the tea stall, Xiao Dao stood motionless and watched him fight with Bie Ling, so he asked road.
Xiaodao walked silently, as if he didn't care at all.
"You shouldn't hit her because you're a woman. Then I saw you were very energetic when you beat Xiaocui?" Qianqiu began to tease his spirit beast while putting the baggage into the Qiankun bag.
Xiaodao actually shook his head at this time.
"I know! It must be because vixens are not beautiful!" Qianqiu said loudly on purpose, but then he thought of something and said to himself: "That woman is covering her face, what if she is an ugly monster?"
After hearing these words, Xiao Dao seemed to stop working, and kept shaking his body and raising his back.
"Yo! It seems that you have a crush on that crazy bitch. You are a white-eyed fool. Just like Lao Wang, you can't walk when you see a beautiful woman. Your friend was almost beaten to death by her just now!" Qianqiu said symbolically. He hit the knife.
At this time, the sky began to slowly darken. Unknowingly, Qianqiu had already been on the road for a day. The road was also very desolate. There was no one selling food. It was useless to carry a big bag of gold. At this moment, Qianqiu thought to herself. Find a place to rest and get something to eat.
After walking forward for a while, Qianqiu and Xiaodao stood in front of the magnificent gate of Huanghu City.
Huanghu City is a city in the center of the sand. Outside the city wall, there is almost no vegetation in a radius of fifty miles. A few hundred miles to the east is the largest city of the human race - the Holy Capital. A hundred miles to the west is Qingshui, a small county town from Qianqiu. county. Because it is surrounded by sandy land, there are no cultivating sects, and there are no villages. It sounds a bit desolate, but in fact, Huanghu City is the fifth most prosperous city of the human race, with an endless stream of merchants coming and going. Although the sky is filled with yellow sand outside the city, the city is The scenery here is different throughout the year. There is only a wall between them, but the scenery is completely different.
The reason why Huanghu City can be so prosperous despite not taking advantage of the right time and place is due to several reasons.
The first is that Cai Ritian, the lord of Huanghu City, is well-known and known for his skills. Although he is only about forty years old, he can manage such a large city in an orderly manner, and his cultivation has reached the wood level. He is an intermediate magician, and more importantly, he has a fourth-level spiritual beast.
The second place is where General Sun, the imperial flying tiger general, is stationed. Not far to the south of Huanghu City is the border city wall. Some small tribes often harass the inner territory, so the emperor sends General Feihu to guard Huanghu City to resist at any time. It is a foreign enemy and an important military hub. It is impossible not to prosper.
The third and most important point is that Li Yu, the top master of Huanghu City, the junior fire magic master, is in the city. There are many magicians who come here to ask for advice, although there are also quite a few magicians. People came to see Li Yu's sixth-level spiritual beast, the Blazing Bird, but few got what they wanted. As the saying goes, every level is like a mountain. There is a high-level magician and a sixth-level spiritual beast holding the formation. Even if Huanghu City lacks a few intermediate magicians, there is no need to worry too much. As the strongest expert in Huanghu City, Li Yu rarely sees people, and except for a few people, no one has seen her true face.
While on the mountain, Qianqiu heard his master say that Huanghu City was a bit interesting, with a mixture of fish and dragons, all kinds of people, and strange sights and people. But I have only heard of it but never seen it. Now that I have come to this special desert city for the first time, Qianqiu is looking forward to it. Firstly, he wants to find out the real culprit behind the incident in Qingshui County. Secondly, he also wants to see what the real master looks like. What they look like and what moves they can perform. What I'm even more looking forward to is seeing how powerful their spiritual beasts are!
There was an endless stream of people coming in and out at the city gate, making it very lively.
Qianqiu, who had never seen a big city before, looked at such a bustling city gate and couldn't help but sigh: "There is such a huge formation at the city gate. It's really a step up from Qingshui County!"
In the city gate tower just above Qianqiu, three people silently looked at Qianqiu who was riding a sword-edged horse.
Two of them were Bie Ling and Hong Chao. The other man was tall, more than nine feet tall, wearing black clothes and covering his face with a ghost mask. This man was the ghost head mentioned by Hong Chao.
"How did this brat come to Huanghu City?" Bie Ling thought to himself at this time, "He is really haunted."
Guitou said: "Cai Ritian is going to the holy temple tonight to hold a ceremony to worship the heaven. When he leaves home, don't Ling, go there immediately. Get the Sansheng clover, then leave Huanghu City and rush to Dongfang Pai. Yao's You must consume the efficacy into your body on the road, and you don’t have to worry about the rest.”
"Guitou, do you want to act alone?" Bie Ling asked coldly.
"The Red Super League will work with me to buy time for you. The leader of this operation has given orders. You don't need to participate. Your most important task is to sneak into the Oriental Sect!" Guitou said sharply.
"Bie Ling, it's okay, I will act with Guitou." Hong Chao comforted him by patting Bie Ling's shoulder.
"I heard that you encountered some trouble on the road, are you okay?" Guitou looked at Bieling, who seemed to be a little uneasy, and couldn't help but ask.
Bie Ling looked at Guitou and said, "I just met a few thieves. Don't worry about it, Lord Guitou."
"That's good, get ready for action." After Guitou said that, he jumped off the tower and disappeared into the crowd.
Qianqiu rode a knife into the city, and the grandeur and prosperity of the big city surged out: the road was very wide, the streets were crowded with people, and all kinds of shops were lined up in an orderly manner on the streets. The stalls selling gadgets were crowded with curious people, and police officers patrolling the streets passed by from time to time. They were all energetic and handsome.
He caught a glimpse of a notice board on the side of the road and took a closer look. It turned out that today is the sixth day of the fifth lunar month in the holy calendar. Today, Huanghu City will worship the heaven according to the custom, and a ceremony to worship the heaven will be held in the evening. No wonder it is so lively, but now The first priority is to find a place to stay and get something to eat quickly.
Qianqiu would not be stupid enough to go directly to the Sun family. Now he came to their territory with a mission. He would not dare to go there without getting a good understanding of the situation in Huanghu City. He dismounted and pushed forward. After walking two streets, he saw a rather grand inn.
The inn plaque has four golden characters: Ruyi Inn.
"Ruyi Inn looks quite impressive. Anyway, now that we have money, this is the best place." Qianqiu touched Xiaodao's head, and Xiaodao immediately waved his ponytail in agreement.
"Sir, please come inside!" The waiter who was standing at the door looking for customers looked at the young man holding the horse at the door and said "please" before Qianqiu could say anything.
Qianqiu was stunned. He had just read the name of the inn. The clever waiter was already calling him in. After hearing this, he walked into the inn automatically. He thought to himself: "This world's habits of doing things are better. Study more."
"Xiaoer, give me the horse and feed me good fodder. I can't treat you badly." Qianqiu handed the knife to the waiter.
"Sir, where are you from? Your magnanimity must be as good as three melons and two dates! Besides, your horse looks like a spirit beast at first glance. To be honest, the shop has food specially prepared for spirit beasts. I guarantee it. Serve your partner comfortably!" The waiter skillfully took the horse and handed it over to the groom watching the horse. He said, "The golden spirit beast - the blade horse! Serve it now!".
Qianqiu thought to himself: "This is a big city after all, and even a waiter in a shop is so knowledgeable."
"Sir, why don't you come early rather than come by chance? You came at the right time. There is only one upper room left in the shop, and the rest are poor general shops." The waiter led Qianqiu to the counter, preparing to simply register. .
Qianqiu couldn't help but smile and said: "Is the business of your inn in Huanghu City so good?"
The waiter replied with a smile: "It's not that the room is always full. Isn't this a ceremony to worship the heavens? There are many people here for business, entertainment, and family visits. If you had come earlier, you wouldn't be free yet. , a customer just checked out, so there is a vacancy."
"Brother, can you give me the upper room?" A voice came from behind Qianqiu.
Qianqiu looked back and saw that the person speaking was a young man of similar age to him. He was wearing a white gown, his hair was neatly tied into a bun, and he had a slight smile on his delicate and white face. He had a An exquisite black fish-shaped rag doll, gently holding a folding fan in its hand, the whole person looks elegant.
Qianqiu looked at the person who came and couldn't help but sigh. This man was prettier than many women, and his cultivation seemed to be similar to his own. He was at the level of an intermediate magician, and his aura was purer than his own.
"This guest, this young man has already paid for the store." The waiter on the side has encountered many such situations. Later, he wants to get the upper hand. In order to prevent conflicts, he is smart and often foreshadows the customer. .
Qianqiu shook his head, saying that he didn't care about this.
The young man in white thought Qianqiu shook his head as a sign of disagreement, so he smiled and slowly added: "I'm willing to pay you three times the store price, what do you think?"
Qianqiu thought for a moment that he had slept in a thatched hut since he was a child, but he didn't care about the living environment. It seemed that he was so polite, so he thought that he was being polite when he refused, so he wanted to agree to him: "Brother, you are so polite when you speak. I like it. I’ll let you have the upper room, and I’ll be fine if I live alone in the bunkhouse.”
"Thank you so much, shopkeeper. I will be responsible for this brother's room and board in your store this time."
Upon hearing this, Qianqiu hurriedly said: "I didn't give it to you for money. I just appreciate you as a person. You don't have to be so polite."
The young man in white replied: "Brother, you are very polite. I am just trying to show my sincerity."
The two chatted for a while and felt very attracted to each other.
At this moment, a voice came from behind: "Shopkeeper! I'll pay six times the rent, give me the upper room." A man walked in suddenly from the side, holding some banknotes in his hand, and slapped them on the counter.
