Chapter 220: Peony City
Because of the carriage ride, people traveled during the day, and at night if they were lucky enough to come across towns and villages, they could spend the night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIf you're unlucky, you'll have to sleep in the wilderness.
In fact, except for the two coachmen hired and Qi Ziming, who needed to rest and eat, the other people had already opened the valley and did not need to rest and eat.
It's just that when you're not in a hurry, the atmosphere is always very weird. Several juniors of the Shangqing Sect gathered together and didn't know what to talk about, Xuan Ying either talked to Yiru, or talked to Mingyou, and occasionally talked to a few other people.
The most embarrassing of them is Qi Ziming, because he doesn't know anyone except 'Liu Gongzi', especially the one who takes the lead always expresses disregard and dissatisfaction. Over time, even Yi Ru saw that something was wrong between the two. also looked for Xuan Ying and asked Qi Ziming if he had offended him somewhere.
Xuan Ying naturally said no, and his later behavior also converged a lot, and when he saw that there was no problem, Yi Ru didn't pay attention to it anymore.
It was half a month's journey by carriage, and I passed through two big cities on the way, and I didn't meet the demon cultivator except for some small problems. This made everyone feel relieved with a hint of unease, and there was a saying that 'calm before the storm', and this is how everyone feels now.
When it was close to evening, when the city gate was about to close, everyone rushed to another city, Peony City. After entering the city, everyone found that the people of this city were particularly fond of peonies. There are peony inns, peony restaurants, peony tea houses, etc., no wonder even the name of the city is peony.
The crowd found a mid-range looking inn, which was the least noticeable, and that was their purpose. Considering that the Taoist robe of the Shangqing Sect was too conspicuous, everyone in the Shangqing Sect also transformed.
In order to arrange their identities, the other three transformed into a servant and two guards. Ming You is the housekeeper, Xuan Ying and Yi Ru are the two sons, and Qi Ziming is a friend who goes together. This is the identity that everyone has discussed, and naturally they have not forgotten to tamper with the coachman's memory to avoid revealing the stuffing.
Let two coachmen take the carriage to the backyard of the inn to feed the horses, originally wanting to book seven rooms, so that one person can have one room. After all, it's not bad money, and the money in the mortal world has no meaning to them, and any piece of low-grade spirit stone or an elixir can be exchanged for a lot of gold and silver.
In order to solve the task of the master, it is occasionally necessary to go to the mortal world, so the gold and silver in the mortal world are very necessary, so they will have some in their hands.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that they lived in medium inns. There are not many rooms, and there seems to be a celebration recently, so there are a lot of outsiders. As a result, there were not enough rooms at the inn, and they had planned to book seven upper or medium rooms.
As a result, the innkeeper told him that there were only four rooms left. And I'm afraid it's a similar situation when I change inns, because in the next ten days, I will go to the biggest festival of the year in Peony City-Peony Festival.
Many admiring guests have already stayed in the inn, the larger inns have already been full, and the small and medium-sized inns are similar, even if there are no seven.
After discussing it, everyone still hugged the remaining four rooms, and Qi Ziming booked two more places in the shop, which were reserved for the coachman. These things are as easy as they 'immortals' don't know, but Qi Ziming, as a mortal, knows very well.
There are seven people in four rooms, and how to allocate the rooms becomes a problem. Naturally, the four 'Ming' generations of the Shangqing Sect had already discussed who would live with whom, and the four of them occupied two rooms.
The remaining Yi Ru, Xuan Ying and Qi Ziming were divided into two other rooms, and before Qi Ziming could speak, Xuan Ying smiled gently: "Suddenly I remembered that there was something to discuss with the 'junior brother', it just so happened that the two of us had one room, and Qi Gongzi could have one room by himself!" After speaking, without waiting for Qi Ziming and Yiru to react, he directly dragged Yiru to one of the two rooms.
After entering the room, after Yi Ru broke free, his tone was with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Senior Brother Xuanying doesn't have to be like this, if you have something, you can talk to me well, you don't need to do anything." ā
Xuan Ying rarely had a hint of embarrassment, and then explained: "I did have something to do with Senior Sister Yiru, when I just entered Peony City, I felt a trace of extremely faint demonic energy, and then disappeared. I think there should be a demon cultivator hidden in this city, and I want to ask my sister to come here, I don't know what my sister has found?! ā
Xuan Ying's tone couldn't be more serious, and after hearing the truth, Yi Ru didn't care about Xuan Ying's behavior just now, but shifted his attention to the matter.
After thinking about it for a while, Yi Ru's tone carried a hint of regret and unwillingness: "I think it's because my cultivation is not as high as Senior Brother Xuanying, so I haven't found demonic energy." It's just that if what Senior Brother Xuan Ying said is correct, then we still have to stay in this Peony City for a while, so that we can be sure?! ā
Xuan Ying pondered for a moment and guessed: "If these demon cultivators really obeyed the orders of the national teacher, they went around committing crimes, in order to find something. Then we can't just let them go on, I can stop them and then recycle the stuff. After that, the wind is released, and when the time comes, we don't need to appear, and the other party will naturally take the bait! ā
Yi Ru Ran: "Senior Brother Xuan Ying wants to 'lure the snake out of the hole' and use something to fish out the people behind the scenes!" ā
Xuan Ying smiled: "That's right, in this way, we can turn passive into active." After all, we still have too little information about each other, and if we use this trick, the situation will be more favorable to us at that time! ā
I have to say that Xuan Ying's brain is spinning very fast, which is easy to convince. If it was Xuan Ying before, he wouldn't have taken these things to heart at all.
It's just that for some reason, Yi Ru feels that she prefers Xuan Ying, who lived with that expression a few years ago, than the resourceful Xuan Ying now. The current Xuan Ying is more like a mask, so that people can't peek into his inner thoughts.
Seeing Yi Ru looking at herself in a daze, a smile flashed in Xuan Ying's eyes: "Senior Sister Yi Ru is staring at me so 'engrossedly', could it be that she finally found out that I am very handsome?!" ā
Yi Ru smiled indifferently: "What Senior Brother Xuan Ying said is not that he 'finally discovered' that Senior Brother is very handsome, but that Senior Brother is indeed very handsome!" "As for the word 'indeed', it is easy to read it word by word.
Xuan Ying didn't seem to hear the meaning of the words, but smiled with a spring breeze on his face: "Being so appreciated by Senior Sister Yiru makes me very happy in my heart." I always thought that in the eyes of Senior Sister Yiru, there was no difference between me and Mingyou. Now it seems that I should be more beautiful than Mingyou! ā
