"Is Master Bozu afraid that we will embarrass Little Penglai?" Linglong said, "Even if you pick up gold everywhere here and give it to me, I won't want it." I wouldn't surrender myself like that, and I'm not a beggar. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Sijiu, "Some people who can't walk when they see money may not be able to walk." Master Boke should be especially careful. When the time comes, it will be a real shame, and none of the honorable ones will have a good look on their faces. ”

Xu Sijiujiao smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao is right. Although Uncle Xiao's family is unfortunate, he still has a mouth. But I have a backbone. ”

Liu Xiaohua was accustomed to their bickering, and looked at the surrounding environment carefully without turning a deaf ear.

The streets and the buildings of the city, and the signs that are upstairs, are golden. It is also embellished with a variety of colored gemstones. The doors of the shops on the street were wide open, and you could see that the shelves inside were full of things, and there were some broken gold, which were placed on the counter.

But there was no one.

There was no sound other than the footsteps of their group.

This kind of silent silence makes people feel chills in their backs, and there is a feeling that some monster is hiding somewhere to watch them. It makes people can't help but be cautious about breathing.

I walked out of this street until I finally heard someone's voice faintly. There seems to be string singing and dancing.

With the voice, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere has also eased.

Zhang Fengnian is familiar with this place. took them around the corner and came to the front of a lively inn.

The entrance to the inn was full of horse-drawn carriages.

Some people are yelling to move the wagons to the backyard. Looks like business is going very well.

The buzzing voices inside make the city not so weird.

There are also pedestrians passing by from time to time near the inn. There are children who see strangers and look at them curiously.

There was also a child who was very bold, and he looked up at Liu Xiaohua, looked at all of them one by one, and then asked, "Are you from outside?" You're so dirty! ”

He was clothed in gold thread. There is a large gem on the chest.

Pretty much everyone here is dressed up like this.

A woman soon appeared and dragged the child away. I was embarrassed to apologize to these 'beggars' again and again, and kindly asked them if they would like to go to her house to eat something and change clothes, "I still have some old clothes at home. I can give it to you. ”

Liu Xiaohua really wants her things, looking at her dress, the old clothes she said must be very luxurious. Xie said, "No need. She didn't force it.

When he met a normal person, Zhou Qing, who had always been nervous, also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Xiaohua: "I thought this was a ghost town." The city gate is so strange, strange and scary. Looking at it now, it must be that the people are simple and simple, and the road is not forgotten, so no one cares whether the door is closed or not. ”

Liu Xiaohua took He Wen'er's jade pendant to see, and the jade pendant was not the slightest bit unusual. It's just the usual place.

The guys in the inn saw that there were guests from afar, and immediately greeted them warmly, not disgusted at all because this group of people looked like beggars, and asked Zhang Fengnian: "How many guest officers?" Is it a stay? ”

Liu Xiaohua felt that this place was like a paradise. Everyone has such a good moral character and will not look down on others because of a person's appearance.

Zhang Fengnian took out eight words and came to give him "three rooms." Stay for three days. ”

The guy collected the money and shouted loudly with joy, "There are guests, a total of eight, three rooms, three days~"

Immediately, there was a sound of harmony inside. Singing layer by layer.

At this time, those guests who were playing quieted down in an instant, and looked at a few people at the door unusually neatly. But it was only a matter of moments, and immediately they went back to drinking and laughing.

Liu Xiaohua was so frightened by this action that she took a step back, and couldn't help but call Zhang Fengnian: "Senior brother! ”

Zhang Fengnian didn't think so, and walked inside behind the guy.

Linglong was also scared enough by that, and she didn't want to go in when she stood at the door. Because he didn't want to talk to the other two people, in comparison, he didn't hate Liu Xiaohua so much, so he grabbed her sleeve and moved in step by step.

Xu Sijiu and He Wen'er also immediately surrounded them. Fusheng, Cheng Zhengzhi and Zhou Qing walked behind.

Liu Xiaohua is like a hen with a chick, forced to be calm and lead the way in.

Upon passing a drunk man, she pretended to be careless and pulled one of his hairs.

The man stood up with an 'oops' cry of pain. A normal reaction.

Liu Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile, "We don't have a heart!" He frowned at Linglong and scolded: "Why are you so careless and shaved someone's hair." ”

Linglong was dumbfounded, "I ......!" The others looked at her, and no matter how sluggish she was, they had to swallow what they were about to refute.

Reluctantly said, "Okay, I was careless, I'm sorry." "I glared at people with an expression of 'you're going to hit me'.

The man was five big and three thick, and a few knife marks on his face were not scary, but he only glanced at them and complained: "You look good when you walk!" He turned his head and continued to drink his own wine, and he didn't bother with her too much.

"Look, there's nothing to be afraid of. It's all people. Liu Xiaohua said to a few people who were surrounding her because of fear.

"I've heard that ghosts don't have feet and necks." Cheng Zhengzhi whispered: "I think they all have feet and necks. ”

A few people's faces were a little better. Zhou Qing asked him, "Who do you listen to?" ”

Cheng Zhengzhi scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Rumors from my hometown." ”

He Wen'er gave him an angry look.

The three single rooms arranged by the guy are all on the second floor, but they are separated.

One for the boys, one for the girls. The two rooms are relatively close, with only one room in between. But Zhang Fengnian's room is a little far away.

"Can't we stay closer?" Linglong asked the young man dissatisfied. She always felt a little scared.

The guy scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "But it's all full, and they won't be happy to ask people to move their seats again." ”

Seeing that Linglong was dissatisfied, she had to bite the bullet and say, "Why don't I go and ask for you......" but he looked very embarrassed.

Cheng Zhengzhi saw that he was difficult to do, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it." It's just a few rooms apart, what is there to be afraid of. Even louder voices can be heard. ”

The fellow immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you." He was embarrassed and said, "If I really go to the guest and tell him, I'm afraid that the guest will scold me." ”

When Linglong saw Cheng Zhengzhi speak, she didn't say anything anymore.

As he was talking, Zhang Fengnian had already entered the house.

Liu Xiaohua saw that some guests downstairs were leaving one after another, and asked the guy, "Aren't they staying in the hotel?" ”

The guy laughed and said, "No." They are people who live nearby and come here to pass the time. Let's take a break early, too. Our place is not very peaceful at night, if there is any noise, please don't mind. Just ignore it. ”

After repeated instructions, he left.

The man and woman entered the house, and before they could sit down, there was a knock at the door, and the man came up with a teapot and snacks, and said with a smile: "The official's room money includes snacks and meals." If you need anything more, just call me. ”

For Zhang Fengnian's money, he ordered three rooms, and he could still eat it.

He Wen'er immediately took it and put it in her mouth. Tell the guy: "Since you don't want money, then you can bring more food." Whatever good dishes are delivered, they are all delivered. ”

Linglong thought she was embarrassed and glared at her several times, but she just didn't see it.

Dude doesn't care. Said earnestly: "Cheng." Wait a minute. ”

Xu Sijiu sent him out and closed the door, but when he came back, his face was white.

Liu Xiaohua asked, "What is wrong with you?" ”

Xu Sijiu stammered, "No." Nope. ”

"What's missing?" Linglong thought she couldn't speak clearly, "Why are you shocked!" ”

He Wen'er stuffed all the food in one bite, and said vaguely: "Yes, if you are surprised again, carefully the little uncle will give you an ear." ”

Linglong's face fell. He sat down to the side and didn't even eat anything.

Liu Xiaohua asked Xu Sijiu: "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Sijiu looked like he was about to cry and said, "All the people are gone!" ”

Liu Xiaohua hurriedly walked out to take a look, the downstairs was really empty, and the last few guests were staggering out of the house.

The sun was like blood outside, and soon it would be completely dark. The golden street, reflecting the brilliance of the slanting sun, is particularly dazzling.

A couple of shopkeepers were packing up downstairs. Moving the door panel, I was going to close the door.

When he saw Liu Xiaohua come out, he immediately smiled and asked, "Do you want anything from the guests?" ”

Liu Xiaohua smiled, pretended to be calm, and said, "Don't want anything." ”

But the guy was also interested, and immediately patted his head and said, "Oh, is it strange for the guests to see that they are all gone?" In fact, someone here recently held a happy event, and we invited three days to eat here. They all came to eat. ”

"I see. I'll just say it. Linglong was really relieved.

The guy laughed and said, "Don't the guests think we're a black shop?" This place is full of gold and jade, so why should we seek other people's money? It's this inn, and it's not about making money. It is set up by the people of our city for the convenience of the guests passing by, just to accumulate virtue. ”

"Why are you so rich here?" Xu Sijiu leaned on the railing and asked curiously.

"God eats for food." The guy smiled.

"Did you dig up the golden veins from the ground?" Linglong asked.

The guy exclaimed: "The little lady is really knowledgeable. ”

Linglong said proudly: "That's nature, I didn't see anything when I was at home." ”

Xu Sijiu just covered his mouth and smiled, and he didn't look at his dirty nails, his fingernails were all black, and his whole body was sloppy than a beggar. It's a lot of people to make this delicate move. Linglong gave her a blank look, scoffed, turned around and went into the house.

Xu Sijiu was about to go in, but Liu Xiaohua grabbed her and gave her a look.

Xu Sijiu was more attentive than Linglong, and although he didn't understand what was going on, he still stayed.

Liu Xiaohua pulled her and walked next to her.

The guy in the shop immediately asked, "Where are the little ladies?" ”

Liu Xiaohua smiled and said: "Let's go and see what kind of place the people live in, if there is any better place than us, if it is better, we will change with them." ”

The guy laughed and said, "No matter how good it is, it's all the same." The little lady doesn't have to go. It's better to rest early. ”

Liu Xiaohua said, "I don't believe it, my senior brother is the most partial. I've never liked our female disciples. Maybe I'll secretly add money to you so that they can live well. So saying, he went to the house where they lived.

The man stared at her, and when he saw that she had passed her head and did not stop, he hurriedly called out, "It's another room!" ”

But she had already 'snapped' and pushed the house open.

There was no one inside.

Then she immediately walked forward, continued to push the door next to her, and said with a smile, "Look at me, I have found the wrong door." You said you lived in this room, right? ”

Before the man could say 'no', the door was pushed open with a bang, and there was no one inside.

The guy obviously said that there were people living here, so he had to let Zhang Fengnian live far away. But there is clearly not a single guest here.

Xu Sijiu's heart is no less twists and turns than others, but he is timid, and when he sees this, his legs tremble a little.

Liu Xiaohua looked back, and the guys were not doing anything anymore, and looked at the second floor one by one. There was no smile on his face either. When I saw it suddenly, it was a bit embarrassing.

She only acted disapprerovingly and said, "Huh? Why haven't your guests come back yet? Did you go to the market to buy something? ”

The guy came back to his senses and smiled, "Not really." Fortunately, I wasn't there, otherwise I would have scolded the little lady. These people are very fierce, and the little lady must not enter other people's houses again. There was still some suspicion in his eyes.

Liu Xiaohua rose up and said, "Where are they going, we came in all the way, there was no one in the shop, and we couldn't buy what we wanted, I still want to bring new things to Shizun, why don't you take me to buy something that is not available elsewhere?" ”

The young man saw that she was concentrating on shopping, and his expression was a little relaxed, and he didn't think about it, and immediately promised, "I will take the little lady tomorrow." It's getting late today. We can't go out at night. Those who went out to buy things will be coming back soon. ”

Liu Xiaohua looked defeated. Say, "Okay. ”

He didn't go any further, but muttered, "Didn't they live here?" Shouting "Senior Brother!" Brother! We asked for three rooms, which three? I can't find them! ”

But there was no movement on Zhang Fengnian's side.

The man came up in three or two steps, and said embarrassedly: "Little lady, don't scream." There are other guests staying here. ”

The door across the room from them was pushed open, and Cheng Zhengzhi stretched out his head and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Liu Xiaohua was surprised: "It turns out that you live here, and I just found the wrong place." ”

turned his head and squeezed into the house with Xu Sijiu.

As soon as the door was closed, Xu Sijiu was anxious to speak, and Liu Xiaohua covered her mouth and pointed to the crack in the door.

The guy was still outside the door.

Zhou Qing reacted the fastest, and immediately smiled: "What are you doing here?" ”

Liu Xiaohua said: "It turns out that your side is the same as ours, what will be the difference between me?" ”

As he spoke, he walked over and pulled the door open.

The man couldn't avoid it for a moment, and stood at the door and looked at her. Smiled dryly and said, "What else does the little lady want?" "I don't feel comfortable.

Liu Xiaohua asked, "Is there any pen and paper to lend us for us?" ”

The guy said, "Yes." So he went downstairs.

When he left, a few people pretended to have nothing to do, talked and laughed, and planned to go to the female disciples' room.

Walking on the porch, I suddenly heard the door downstairs being slammed.

The guy ran out and asked vigilantly, "Who is it?" The store is closed. ”

A weak-sounding voice outside said hurriedly: "I was born in the city, and when I traveled to the suburbs, I suddenly got foggy, and I accidentally got lost in it, and stumbled to find here." What kind of place is this? ”

When the man heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called his companion to remove a piece of the door panel, and let the man come in to see, it turned out to be a scholar, and he was carrying a book basket. His feet were full of muddy water, and he looked like he was in a hurry.

Seeing that others were willing to let him come in and rest, he made a lot of moves. When I turned around and saw that the house was full of gold and gemstones, I was dumbfounded, "This, is this where the gods are?" Along the way, I have seen gold and jade as a wall, and the brilliance is extraordinary. ”

The guy was probably used to seeing it, and he was surprised by him and said, "Okay, sit down." It's a good thing that you came early, and if you were a little late, we wouldn't be able to open the door even if you cut your throat. ”

When the door was about to close, he saw a woman with her children coming in a hurry, and hurriedly let them in.

He closed the door and asked the kitchen to cook them soup to ward off the cold.

Xu Sijiu whispered to Zhou Qing beside him, "Where is Tongcheng?" ”

"I guess it's in the west."

Liu Xiaohua looked at the mother and daughter downstairs, although they were in a hurry and looked like dusty people, but there was no muddy water on their bodies.

With a curious face, he asked, "Where is the lady from?" Are you lost too? ”

The woman was very timid, and it took a long time for her to sit on the golden chair carefully, but although she sat down, she deliberately stayed away from the others, and when she saw someone talking to her, she grabbed her daughter tightly with both hands, and whispered: "I took my daughter back to her mother's house, and I thought it was still early, but I didn't expect it to get dark so quickly, and the night fog rose, and I lost my way." ”

Liu Xiaohua asked: "Where are you from?"

At this time, the scholar finished drinking the soup and was about to be taken to the room by the man. The woman stood up and got out of the way of his way, thinking that she was avoiding suspicion.

When the scholar left, the woman sat back and glanced at Liu Xiaohua, and replied defensively: "Qingchuan people." After that, there was no intention of talking to others again. Presumably, I think that Liu Xiaohua's group of beggars don't look like good people, but I don't know why, they will also be in this fairyland. Don't dare to talk to her more.

At this time, the guy took the pen and ink, and Liu Xiaohua stopped bothering her. When the group squeezed back to the room where the girls lived, Linglong was eating a snack. He Wen'er had already eaten enough, and fell asleep on the bed.

When she heard about what was going on outside, Linglong's expression was very shocked.

"But Qingchuan is in the southeast direction. It is far away from Tongcheng, and it is not in the same territory. How could they all come here so quickly after they got lost? ”

Although the disciples were afraid, they were much calmer than before. Linglong's voice trembled slightly, and she asked, "You say, ...... them Could it be that it is not human? ”

Liu Xiaohua took out the jade pendant from He Wen'er.

The jade pendant was not the slightest bit unusual.

It means that there are no demons here.

Cheng Zhengzhi suddenly thought of something and said excitedly: "I know what's going on!" Let me tell you, there are many legends in my hometown, and one of them is a bit like this one. ”

Fusheng, who had not spoken all the time, said sympathetically: "Isn't His Highness's hometown the imperial capital?" ”

Cheng Zhengzhi's eyes flashed, scratched his head, and said confidently: "Yes." I just heard it in the imperial capital. ”

Xu Sijiu asked fearfully, "What did you hear from people?" ”

That is to say, some people get lost, and they will strayed into a place, and that place, although it is night, is brightly lit like a fairyland, and they want anything. There are beauties, there is gold, everything. Many linger and don't want to leave. But if someone goes and still wants to leave, the people in the fairyland will not keep it, and will give away gold and silver or something. But after spending a day there, returning to the outside world, you find that it has been decades. Some people return home to find that their grandchildren are dying. None of his relatives knew him. ”

As soon as Liu Xiaohua heard it, she knew that he was telling the ancient ghost and magic stories that circulated in modern society.

Cheng Zhengzhi said with great interest: "You say, will this be the kind of place like that?" Although we came in by the main road, at the turn of day and night, the city could appear anywhere at any time, and even in several places at once. Those who are lost, stray into here. I thought this was a fairyland. But those who go out can hardly be found. ”

Linglong didn't seem to think so, but for the sake of Cheng Zhengzhi, he didn't speak. These days, she is completely Cheng Zhengzhi's follower.

Zhou Qing was not polite at all, and retorted: "One place is one place, how can it appear in several places at the same time." Even if it has legs, it can't be separated. ”

Cheng Zhengzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "This is the mystery of the way of heaven." ”

Zhou Qing sneered and said, "In the past, we didn't know the method of cultivation, so we thought that the monk and the immortal venerable could conjure the flame and cold at will because of the gift of the Heavenly Dao and the immortal method. But now that we understand what is going on, we know why. It can be seen that everything in the world has its cause and effect. If everything that doesn't make sense is attributed to the Heavenly Dao, then the Heavenly Dao is too busy to die? ”

In fact, Liu Xiaohua also agrees with Zhou Qing's words.

However, Xu Sijiu stood on Cheng Zhengzhi's side, "Master Bozu also often said that the way of heaven is mysterious. Then asked Liu Xiaohua for confirmation: "Little Uncle Ancestor, do you say yes!" ”

Liu Xiaohua thought about it seriously and said, "I'm not sure, but I think that maybe this city hasn't been touched at all." It's too nonsense to want a city to move, right? It doesn't have demonic energy, so how can it move on its own? ”

Cheng Zhengzhi said unconvinced: "Then why do you say that these people in different places are here?" ”

Liu Xiaohua couldn't answer.

The room was silent. No one understands why this is happening if it is not because of the magic demon.

Zhou Qing suddenly said, "Maybe it's fog." ”

Liu Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant.

"If you want to know how you got here, you might as well find common ground in each direction." As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Xiaohua.

In the past few months, Liu Xiaohua's handling of some things and problems has also had a great impact on others. People like Zhou Qing who are more attentive have also developed some habits.

Many times, when encountering a difficult thing to solve. Everyone is gradually willing to use the way Liu Xiaohua analyzed the Linglong Lingtai at that time to break down the big problems into small ones. Then start with the smallest to find the answer.

"What do we have in common with them? How did we get here? Zhou Qing, he picked up the pen, drew on the paper, and said while drawing: "You think, we came by car, after a haze, and were taken around the city by the master Bozu for a few months. And the scholar, he was lost, suddenly fogged up, and couldn't find the direction. I got lost and came here. And the woman. It's all because of the fog. I think that the city has not moved, it is the haze. ”

Everyone immediately looked at Liu Xiaohua.

Liu Xiaohua thought about it seriously and said, "It's not impossible. People are alone in the haze of time, and they don't know that time has passed. They say they've only just gotten lost, and they just don't know how long they've been in the haze. When he was young, he fed on sound, and in order to maintain a food source, he would not let the trapped people starve to death. There is no hunger, a lost sense of time. A long time, but I thought it was only a short time, but it was also possible. ”

Cheng Zhengzhi muttered: "Is that qiē all true?!" ”

"What?" Linglong asked curiously.

"Ancient tales." Cheng Zhengzhi lowered his head and played with a gem on the table: "In ancient times, there was also a haze. People don't know what's going on and think they've gone to Wonderland. Those ghosts and gods have only been passed down to the world. But people who came after didn't believe it. ”

Linglong couldn't understand him. But I'm used to it, anyway, Cheng Zhengzhi is sometimes like this, so I don't think it's weird.

Cheng Zhengzhi looked very depressed, and he kept sitting on the side and didn't know what he was thinking.

Liu Xiaohua was also surprised that a character like him had such a silent time. Go over and ask him, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Cheng Zhengzhi glanced at the others and whispered to her: "I thought I had traveled through a world where there was no zài. The exact opposite of where I used to be, the world. But maybe I'm wrong. ”

He looked into Liu Xiaohua's eyes and said seriously: "I think I may be in a lost history. This qiē has happened on Earth. But like the dinosaurs, like all other extinct civilizations. For some reason, this entire civilization has disappeared. Only a few individual creatures survived. For example, time haze. ”

Seeing that Liu Xiaohua was just looking at himself in a daze, he said in disappointment: "Forget it, you don't understand it." Probably no one in the world understands what I'm talking about. ”

didn't know that Liu Xiaohua's heart was turbulent
