If L City is described as a way of people coming and going, then S City must be considered to be impassable.

When Bai Ye walked out of the train station, at a glance, there were crowds of people, like the tide of the sea, and waves of unevenness rose again and again.

He had his first impression of the city – it was crowded.

By the time he finally got out of the crowd, it was half an hour later.

Under a map of S city specially used for tourists to navigate, Bai Ye with sunglasses looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh and miss a person.

"I didn't expect S City to be so big, it would be nice if Sister Jing was here. ”

Originally, he planned to say goodbye to Sister Jing before leaving, but he had thought of countless words, but when he arrived at the bar at night, he only saw Yang Ang standing in the bar with a sad face.

Sister Jing actually left, she didn't say anything to him, she didn't say goodbye, no one knew where she went, even if she asked about the royal power, the uncle just stumbled, as if he wanted to hide something.

"If I had known this, I should have asked my uncle more about the Heavenly Academy, why did the old man in the mask only put this in the letter?"

I took out a white card from the side of the backpack and held it up to observe, and under the sunlight, the thin side of the card reflected a dazzling light.

Aside from a piece of stationery, this card was the only thing inside the envelope.

The words on the letter are also very simple - "At the beginning of August, take it, go to S City, and you will find the Heavenly Lord's House." ”

There is nothing special about this card, except that the pattern engraved on it is beautiful, it is a blue and white flower, lifelike, and it feels like it can bloom from the card as long as you water it.

Meow!

The shoulders that were originally empty, but Xiao Bai suddenly appeared, since it fused with the white tiger, Bai Ye found that Xiao Bai could already freely transform between reality and his body, thinking that this was also the power brought by the Shishen contract.

Xiao Bai looked curiously at the card in Bai Ye's hand, the pupil of its left eye changed instantly, and sniffed the card, as if it wanted to smell the flowers.

Bai Ye smiled and did it like Xiaobai, but thought in his heart, how could the flowers on the card have a taste?

But as a result, he did smell a fragrance of pure heart Yulan.

"How so?"

The white tiger's voice echoed in his head.

"Lost flowers, flowers in the Yin and Yang world specially used to guide the way, according to legend, bloom on the other side, in order to guide the dead soul to the right path, but in fact it is just a gadget carved by the Onmyoji on the magic seal, but this kind of flower is rare, in order to be able to retain the magic carved by the spirit for a long time, these flowers are specially cultivated. ”

Xiaobai's right eye was full of doubts, but his left eye was full of disdain.

Bai Ye scratched his cheeks, no one had ever told him about these things.

"Do you know how to use this thing?"

The voice in his head disappeared, and Xiaobai's eyes returned to their normal state.

sighed helplessly, it seems that it is a difficult process to have a good relationship with the white tiger.

Looking up at the sky, the sun was setting, and the sunset smeared the entire S city with a layer of elegant rose.

Bai Ye touched his stomach and sat in the car for most of the day, and he didn't eat anything.

"Xiaobai, what do you want to eat?"

Meow!

"I knew it. ”

The corners of Bai Ye's mouth twitched, and cats who like to drink are really rare.

After seven turns and eight turns, there are fewer and fewer vehicles and pedestrians on the road, and I don't know where to go in the white night, but looking at the residential areas around me, I think I have deviated from the bustling area of the city.

The sky gradually became dark, and the lights on the side of the road lit up at the same time.

A glowing sign caught his eye.

Because there are two words written on the sign - simple food, it must be a place where you can eat.

Bai Ye quickened his pace and walked for most of the day, to be honest, he was hungry at the moment.

The façade of the store is a simple wooden door, similar to the Japanese style that can be pulled horizontally from side to side, and when the door is opened, the interior of the store is full of orange style, giving people a comfortable and warm feeling.

The area inside is not large, and the kitchen behind the left side of the counter is the kitchen where the food is cooked, in addition to the two rows of chairs near the counter that can be used for people to sit, there are four independent tables in the innermost, and there are no other customers in the store now, only a person in a wide fluffy black dress is lying on the table on the far east side and sleeping, muttering words in his mouth.

"Hey, it's really rare to have guests at this time. ”

The voice is so powerful and full of air that it is hard to imagine that this voice could come from a man with a full head of gray hair.

However, the man's beard was all black, which contrasted sharply with his gray hair.

At this moment, the man was wiping the table in the counter, looking at the white night with a little scrutiny.

"What do you want to eat, young man?"

When he said this, the man's eyes looked at the white cat on Bai Ye's shoulder, intentionally or unintentionally, and then showed a knowing smile.

"What's the cheapest thing you have here?"

Bai Ye's face was a little embarrassed, he really didn't have much money, and now he only had the remaining part of the money that Jin Lao paid him at the beginning, but with that meager savings, it was completely impossible to live in S City, I only hoped that the Heavenly Council could provide room and board.

The man did not show disdain for his poor words, but nodded in understanding.

"Egg fried rice is the cheapest here, five dollars a bowl. ”

"Five bucks?"

This is a cheap price even in L City.

"Then two bowls of egg fried rice!"

If it weren't for the limited funds, Bai Ye might order three bowls.

Just as he was about to find a seat, the little white meow on his shoulder whimpered.

"Ah, by the way, what's the cheapest drink you have here?"

"Wine?"

The man stopped his steps into the kitchen and turned his head to look at the white night with a strange expression.

"Beer or liquor?"

"Beer bar. ”

"That's Tianhu's, three pieces and five five bottles. ”

"Then bring me one..."

Just wanted to stretch out a finger, but Xiaobai heard a call of protest, so he had no choice but to change his words.

"Two bottles. ”

The man's face showed a look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and he whispered.

"Something interesting. ”

Bai Ye walked into the innermost part of the store, not the chairs outside, but he took Xiaobai with him, in case other customers entered the store, it was always a little inconvenient, but his worries were unnecessary, because after a long time, there were no other customers entering the store.

The four tables were close together, after all, the space was limited, and the sleeping man was sitting behind Bai Ye at the moment.

When passing by, Bai Ye saw that on that person's table, there were two appetizers, a bottle of two pots, I thought that a drunk person would definitely drink no less wine, but a bottle of two pots was almost full there, and a small cup on the table didn't seem to have much to sip.

It seems that this person can't drink much!

Casually looking around the store, a shop decoration caught his eye.

It was an oval-shaped flat stone, and it hung on the wall of the counter, and if it was just an ordinary stone, it wouldn't make Bai Ye so curious.

It was just that on that stone, there was a strange fluctuation, and if you looked closely, it seemed that there was a strange word pattern flashing on it.

Just as the white night was immersed in it, a voice sounded, interrupting his thoughts.

"Your egg fried rice and beer have arrived. ”

"Oh, okay, thanks. ”

The man did not leave immediately, but stared at Bai Ye's sunglasses for a while, if it was okay to just look at it for a while, the key was that he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, Bai Ye didn't have the habit of being stared at to eat, so he had to ask.

"Anything else?"

"It's nothing, it's just that your sunglasses are good, can you see things when you wear sunglasses at night?"

"Uh, it's okay, my eyes are better. ”

"I see. ”

The man smiled, and did not disturb the white night meal again, but turned around and waved his big hand.

Bang!

The sound of slapping the table startled Bai Ye, and the person who had been sleeping soundly was also instantly startled.

"Didn't you say that you should be responsible for the admission?"

It seems that this person is really drunk, talking nonsense, and has a wine burp.

"Old ghost Liu, you have been occupying my table, do I still want to do business? If you can't drink it, don't drink it, from the afternoon to now, you haven't even finished drinking a small cup, and you've been asleep for three or four hours?"

"Jian Zhou, what you said seems to be that there is no one in the store, it is because of me, I don't come, do you still have customers in this store?"

"Why not? Look behind you. ”

"Behind you?"

The drunken man turned his head slowly, and it was only then that Bai Ye saw his appearance clearly.

The black and white hair was scattered haphazardly, there was a pinch of white beard on the chin, and the reddened face was already wrinkled, but the lean face gave people a sharp feeling.

The old man was a little surprised, and glanced at it with slightly squinted eyes, but just one glance gave Bai Ye the illusion that there was nowhere to hide.

A strange old man, Bai Ye thought.

Turning back again, the old man surnamed Liu sneered.

"Hiccup, how can anyone come to your little shop?"

"Old Ghost Liu, if it weren't for you, my business would only be better. ”

"Hehe, you just like to amplify words, with your craft, it's strange to be able to come. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a mouthful of food and threw it into his mouth.

Bai Ye ate egg fried rice, and did not agree with the old man's point of view, this craft is really good.

"I think it's unpalatable, don't come next time, I'm clean. ”

In a word, when I looked at it again, the two dishes were already in the man's left and right hands.

The old man was not calm, he stood up and wanted to grab it, but where could he grab it with his crooked body.

"Jian Zhou, you guy is really a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, when can you change your temper?"

The man sneered and put the dish back in.

"I can't change it, and I don't want to change it, so hurry up and leave me after eating. ”

After speaking, he entered the kitchen without looking back, and the sound of cleaning up came out.

Bai Ye didn't care so much, he was feasting at the moment, and Xiaobai on the side carefully put the wine bottle horizontally, and the wine in the bottle slowly flowed into a small bowl in front of it, and after it was full, it began to lick the wine in the bowl.

If this scene is seen by ordinary people, it will definitely attract onlookers, but there don't seem to be ordinary people here.

While eating, Bai Ye took out the white card engraved with the lost flower.

looked carefully, but still didn't find any clues, and sighed helplessly.

At this moment, a slightly wrinkled, but powerful hand snatched the card from his hand, making Bai Ye shocked, that was the key to whether he could find the Heavenly Lord's Court!

After getting up, I saw the old man rubbing his chin, holding the card in his hand, looking back and forth.

Bai Ye didn't understand, obviously this person looked drunk, but why he was so agile just now, so he didn't even react.

"Hiccup, the carved flowers are quite beautiful, and if there is a moonlight imprint, it will have a different flavor. ”

After finishing speaking, he threw it away, and the card fell on Bai Ye's table impartially.

Ding dong!

Ding dong!

I don't know what time it is, the bell rings.

"Well, it's time to go. ”

The old man surnamed Liu swayed from side to side, and left the store without even saying hello.

Bai Ye and Xiao Bai glanced at each other and couldn't help but say.

"There's something strange about this guy. ”
