Chapter 466 Jinque Country
fire beacon Fengshakou.
Night fell.
This is the Kingdom of Jinque, the first country from the Heluo Dynasty to the west. In ancient times, there was a prosperous Western Region dynasty. In order to welcome the exchange of businessmen from east to west, a huge Golden City gate was built here.
Many years later, the prosperous dynasty has long since fallen apart, and the never-closed Gold Gate has long been buried under the sand. However, the business trips that pass between them have remained the same for thousands of years and have never been cut off.
The dust and sand cover the golden tower, and the cloth shoes never rest.
From a high-altitude bird’s eye view, this is the first oasis on the edge of the vast desert, and it is the only candle in the darkness.
The street market, which is crowded with people during the day, has all stopped. Except for the gathering places of individual scholars and scholars, the whole oasis can be called quiet.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door at one end of the long street.
Tuk tuk tuk.
A grand attic with a signboard of “Yunlai Inn”, which may have been blown by the wind and sand for a long time, and the words on it are somewhat mottled.
“Who is it?”
The stout Lady Boss wearing an apron opened the door and saw a tall, thin black-faced Taoist priest with a smile on his face, “Auntie, we’re here to stay.”
“It’s full, let’s go somewhere else.” Lady Boss responded and closed the door.
The black-faced Taoist hurriedly stopped him and said, “Auntie, we have run halfway across Jinque City, you are the last Inn, could you be accommodating and help us find a place to live?”
“It’s all full, don’t you understand?”
Lady Boss stared, the black-faced Taoist priest subconsciously retreated, peng sound, Lady Boss closed the door.
“This…”
The black-faced Taoist priest is none other than the third generation disciple of Ten Mile Slope Cloud Heart Temple in Jiangnan, Duranke.
He ate a pure cold shoulder, scratched his head in embarrassment, turned around and said, “Look at this…”
It turned out that he was standing behind him and under the steps with a few people.
The first one is the Old Daoist Priest with dive poise and sagelike features, with a smile on his face and fluttering clothes, he is not a mortal.
The second is the young master of Jinyi with strong features, with a sad face and an impatient look.
The third is Little Daoist Priest, who is so handsome that it is hard to see clearly, and his expression is indifferent. Just standing there quietly, as if thousands of stars gather in one body.
The fourth is a little girl in a fringed dress with fair skin and cute appearance. He seemed a little sleepy, and was rubbing his eyes, the dull hair on his forehead was drooping down.
These are the entire group from Cloud Heart Temple.
Led by Yu Qi’an, Li Chu, Wang Longqi, Duranke, and Xiao Koi came together.
Wang Longqi saw Lao Du slumped, he stepped forward and said, “Communication requires skill, I’ll do it.”
Then, he took a step and knocked on the door again.
Tuk tuk tuk.
“Who is it?”
The stout Lady Boss opened the door again, this time seeing a face with a smirk from strong features.
“Sister…” Wang Longqi said with a smile: “Look, it’s getting late, where are we going to find a place to stay? I think elder sister, you are kind-hearted, you must not bear it Shall we sleep on the street? Why don’t we…”
“Go away.”
bang!
This time, before he could finish speaking, the door was fiercely closed, almost hitting Wang Longqi’s nose.
Lady Boss’s cursing voice was vaguely heard from inside, “I’m most annoying to these disciples who covet the beauty of my old lady…”
Wang Longqi scratched his head and muttered softly, “You can insult my personality, but you can’t insult my taste…”
“Okay, Seventh Master, come back, don’t be ashamed.” Duranke waved, then turned his head and said: “When we entered the city, there were a lot of business travelers with their own bedding lying under the city passageway. Now it seems that they are either trying to save money, or there are too many merchants and there is no place to stay. I think, we can find a place to stay overnight. Right?”
“There’s no need for that.” Yu Qi’an shook his head and said to Li Chu, “disciple, why don’t you ask?”
Li Chu looked Glancing at the master, he nodded and said, “Okay.”
He stepped forward and slammed the door again.
Tuk tuk tuk.
“It’s not over yet, don’t you know how powerful the old lady is… ah?” Lady Boss rolled up her sleeves and foul-mouthed open the door, as if she was about to start, suddenly the conversation changed, paused, He asked, “What is this Little Daoist Priest doing?”
Li Chu said, “Poor Daoist came from Dongtuheluo and traveled to the Western Regions. Passing by this place, I want to stay for a while. I’m leaving tomorrow, I wonder if it’s convenient?”
“Ok, all.” Lady Boss said with a smile without the slightest hesitation: “We open the door to do business, how can we let the guests out? The reason for pushing. Oh, the Taoist priest is also carrying four little things, come and come, let’s come in together.”
Behind, Yu Qi’an said earnestly to Wang Longqi: “See you ? Communication, pay attention to skills.”
Wang Longqi: “…”
Lady Boss shouted: “Come on, little Er, arrange accommodation for a few guests.”
The guy over there came over and asked, “Lady Boss, we are full every day without waiting for dusk. After all this time, how can there be a place to live?”
“Why not?” Lady Boss rolled her eyes, “Isn’t the firewood room still empty?”
The young man was stunned for a moment, and said, “Let the guests live in the firewood room? Not good?”
“Of course it’s not good, I told you to inform the other guys to sleep in the woodshed tonight and make your room available to a few guests.” Lady Boss waved.
“Huh?” The little guy was even more stunned.
absolutely didn’t expect her to have this one.
“Ah what? Hurry up.” Lady Boss glared at him again.
Xu Shi has been accumulating power for a long time. The little guy was stared at like this, and he didn’t dare to talk nonsense any more, and hurried over to inform the guys of the bad news.
Lady Boss turned around, and immediately said to Li Chu with a smile on his face again: “Little Daoist Priest, I immediately told them to clean up the room, but the room the guys live in is a bit cramped, so you need to ask for it. I’m sorry for you and these guests.”
“Many thanks to Lady Boss, no grievance.” Li Chu nodded.
“Those guys are taking a break in the hall first, and I’ll make a pot of hot tea for them.”
After saying that, Lady Boss also twisted her stout waist. The limbs leave.
A group of five people sat around the table.
“Anyway, I finally rested.” Yu Qi’an sighed.
If Li Chu is himself, flying all the way to the Western Regions is just a short time effort. But because four of the five people would not fly, he could only follow the rented sect mount, and flew for most of the day before heading to the border of Heluo Western Regions. After receiving the customs clearance letter at the border, they came to the first place to settle outside the customs, the Kingdom of Jinque.
After a day of tossing, the rest of the people are exhausted.
At this time, the scenery of the Western Regions could not be seen at all, only the darkness of night.
In the entire group, Yu Qi’an came to look for the Big Dipper star bead, Li Chu came to protect the master, and Lao Du came to help Li Chu with the backpack. Wang Longqi came to rescue the child’s mother by hitchhiking together. As for the little koi… Yu Qi’an decided to bring it with him.
Old Daoist Priest said that for such an important matter, you must bring a small koi, there is no need to say, at least it is auspicious.
“Go to the market tomorrow to buy a map of the countries in the Western Regions, then rent a mount and go straight to the Kingdom of Bailang.” Lao Du planned, “Anyway, looking for a star bead is also a try. If it’s one’s luck, it’s better to help Seventh Young Master to do things first, so that he can rest assured.”
“Yes.” Old Daoist Priest agreed.
Wang Longqi was quite moved and said: “Yu Guanzhu, I am so grateful. If this thing can really be done, I, Wang Longqi, swear to God that I must swoop with you as a different surname brother, and let you Always be my good big brother!”
Before the Old Daoist Priest could speak, Duranke quit, “Seven young masters, you are wrong. I take you as a brother, you have to take Am I a grandson?”
Wang Longqi blinked and said with a smile: “Then I won’t swoop with Li Chu and you and it’s over, we’re all brothers, and you go back to Taoist temples. It’s all about it.”
Old Du Yi waved his hand: “Fuck you.”
Just as he was talking about this, the Lady Boss over there came to say hello again, “Handsome Little Daoist Priest, There are four others over there, our room is ready, come over here.”
“many thanks Lady Boss.”
After thanking, Li Chu and the others arrived their own room.
As Lady Boss said, the place where the guy lives is definitely not big, but fortunately it is clean and tidy, and it is not bad for a night.
Especially when I think of those guys who are huddled together in the firewood room to keep warm, I feel that this place is already excellent.
In addition to being tired during the day, several people soon fell asleep.
The moon falls into my heart.
I don’t know how long it took, a small pop suddenly sounded in the very quiet night. Just like a frog jumping into the paddy field, it does not affect the tranquility of the night.
But Li Chu’s eyes suddenly opened.
There is Monster Qi.
This chapter doesn’t seem to have any substantial content, but the next small plot will take at least 2,000 words to finish, so let’s start it first and write it tomorrow.
