Chapter 236 Come and take shelter from the rain
There was a deep knife mark on the wooden plaque, almost splitting it in half.
People pass by from time to time, which is 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 so familiar to her? I seem to have heard it somewhere.
She touched her chin and thought for a long time, until her eyes fell on the little black snake hanging on her shoulder. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she thought about it.
Isn't this the city that was massacred by the demons? ! Xie Shiyuan was regarded as a big devil because of this.
He was actually teleported here by accident.
She took out the jade slip and reported her position to her master and her senior brothers and sisters, then she walked toward the city with her chest raised and her head raised.
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 behind Qin Shu kindly reminded Qin Shu when he saw this, "Girl, don't feel bad about the spirit stone here. Jibei City is next to the Mixi Forest, and there will be beast tides from time to time. I'm looking at today. It’s cloudy again, it’s safe to go into the city.”
Qin Shu had never been here before. When she heard what he said, she immediately felt that twenty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones was indeed not expensive.
He quickly cupped his fists and said thank you, "Thank you, senior, for the tip."
At this time, she took off all the defensive charms attached to her body and put them away carefully. She was only wearing men's clothes that she bought when she first came to the world of immortality. They were all cheap goods.
Hanging on her waist was a shabby storage bag that she used to carry her poverty. She rummaged around and counted twenty pieces of low-grade spiritual stones and handed them over. She was about to enter the city when she was stopped by the city guard again.
"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.
The sky was extremely dark, and it seemed like a heavy rain was about to fall.
More and more people were walking outside the city. Qin Shu quickened her pace. With so many people, staying at night might still 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 are 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.
Fighting is prohibited in the city, but duels with flags are 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 when the city was first built, Master Xingchen from Tianji Pavilion came to see it in person and built 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 could not 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 thought that she had to find a place to hide from the rain. Finally, her eyes fell on a tavern opposite and she 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 was stunned when he saw this situation, and turned 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 walked in and 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 led her aside, pointed to several 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 Golden Silkworm Wine, which is very expensive.”
Qin Shu slapped ten pieces of low-grade spirit stones on the table and said to the waiter: "Bring me a pot of turbid wine!"
The waiter didn't seem surprised when he heard what she 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 took a look, and saw that two of them had come over 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 have just arrived. I have no money and cannot afford to stay in a hotel. On rainy days, 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 there is thunder, all the monsters in the forest will run out." One of them explained.
Qin Shu glanced at the layers of black clouds outside the sky and felt that the situation was not optimistic.
"You have just arrived 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 adultery or theft.
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 newcomer very well. You'll know when you go there."
