The two hundred and eighth round of the wonders of Xiangping City
The five of them walked to the gate of Xiangping City, preparing to enter Xiangping City.
The guards of the Xiangping City Gate, both demon clans and humans, will not check their identities like the big cities of the Central Plains, and the main ones they guard against are some monsters who don't know their origins. After all, some monsters are more vicious, and if they enter the city and go on a killing spree, it will cause a bad law and order problem.
Huang Xue and the three of them are all human beings, and Huang Long's real incarnation has been thousands of years, so there will naturally be no problem in entering the city, the only problem is the dragon beard tiger. Long Whisker Tiger grew up on Water Tiger Island since he was a child, and he has never learned the method of transforming into a human form, so he is really a not very competent demon clan.
The guards at the city gate will naturally not easily let the dragon and tiger enter the city, and there are no monsters that have transformed into shapes, and the wildness has not been removed, so in principle, they are not allowed to enter the city.
Of course, there are exceptions, some monsters who can transform into shapes, with some juniors who can't transform into shapes, as long as they are willing to register as a guarantee, they can also enter the city, this rule is similar to modern times when entering certain places, minors need to be led by their parents. The dragon bearded tiger had four humans as guarantors, and after some complicated procedures, he also entered Xiangping City safely.
Entering the city and looking at the past, Huang Xue suddenly felt an eye-opener. She had seen enough wonders, but this kind of city with a mixture of people and demons was really the first one.
Monsters are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, after all, the monsters who really cultivate to a high level are a minority, most of the monsters are not very strong, and they can change their human form, which is already the limit, but to maintain their human form, they need to consume a lot of mana.
When entering the city gate, most of the monsters are trying to maintain their human form, but after entering the city, many of them have begun to be unable to maintain, and can only maintain a general human form, showing their tails is already a common phenomenon, those faces, it is already impossible to see, with horns, sheep's horns, antlers, pig's mouth, and even black hair, basically abound, but it is easy to distinguish between monsters and humans.
What's even more amazing is that all the monsters are also engaged in the same work as humans, and they are all no different from humans. The monsters work with humans in a friendly manner, and humans are not afraid of monsters, such a spectacle also makes Huang Xue feel a sense of admiration for the sect. The so-called universal harmony and equality of all living beings is nothing more than that.
It's been a year since I've seen a human city, and the last time I saw it was on Lingyan Island, but it was a little different from the mood at this time, after all, this place is also nominally the territory of the big merchants, and Huang Xue actually had an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart at this time.
She was going to wander around the market for a while, but Long Xuhu pulled her sleeve and said, "Huang Xue, eat, I'm hungry." Huang Xue shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly, the group discussed, inquired with passers-by, and went straight to the largest inn in the city. Although Huang Xue has no money, Tianhua and Chanyu are also the children of official eunuchs, and they still have some family background.
A delicious meal, everyone ate more than 60 yuan, which was worthy of more than a month's food for ordinary people, including the dragon beard and tiger were satisfied with hiccups, and said that it was still good in the human world.
After eating and drinking, everyone was in a very good mood, and they were drinking tea and chatting, when the human shopkeeper next to him suddenly came up and said: "Excuse me, I don't know if the five guest officers are from out of town?"
Huanglong Zhenren is the oldest, after he said this, he looked at Huanglong Zhenren, Huanglong Zhenren nodded and smiled: "The shopkeeper has a good vision, we are the people who pass by, so naturally we want to stay overnight." ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "I see that your identity is extraordinary, and it just so happens that the No. 1 courtyard of the store is still empty, so it is better for you to live in it." ”
When Huang Xue heard this, she felt a sigh in her heart, and wanted to come to eat and drink for the five of herself, but she was regarded as a local tyrant by this store and came to engage in bundled consumption. She interjected with a smile: "I don't know how much this courtyard costs for a night?"
The shopkeeper said: "If you go back to Miss, one hundred and fifty yuan a night." ”
...... One hundred and fifty dollars? Ordinary people may not be able to earn it for half a year, and it is no wonder that no one lives in it. It seems that several of them are not treated as local tyrants, but as fat sheep.
Before Huang Xue could speak, Tianhua on the side said angrily: "One hundred and fifty yuan, shopkeeper, your room is made of gold, how can it be so expensive?
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "The guest officer is angry, objectively angry, it's not that the little old man is cheating you, if you say that usually, this courtyard is only fifty yuan a night, but today is a day, it is indeed one hundred and fifty yuan a night, and Tong Su is not deceived." ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper was serious, Tianhua said curiously: "Why is this? What is so special about today?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he said with a surprised face: "How can a guest official not know? Could it be that the guest officer entered the city today not to participate in the bidding of the City Lord's Mansion?"
When Huang Xue heard this, she suddenly became interested and asked, "What bidding?" ”
So, under the explanation of the shopkeeper, everyone understood.
Originally, this Xiangping city is at the junction of the big business and the barbarism, and many of the products in the barbaric land have never been seen in the Central Plains, so this city has become the only distribution center for human beings to buy these products.
Therefore, over time, a related industrial chain has naturally formed in the city. As the strongest authority in the city, the City Lord's Mansion naturally will not let go of this financial route, so it has formed a rule to organize a bidding once a month, which is now an auction, and put some high-grade rare objects in this bidding for sale, and earn some profits by the way.
Today's time is just the day of bidding, many foreign merchants are here to buy goods, so the shopkeeper also regarded the five people as the people who participated in the bidding, but they didn't think that the five people didn't even know about it, so they touched the nail.
The Tianzi No. 1 Courtyard he was selling was actually bundled with a giveaway, which was the best location for bidding, but the five of them didn't even know about bidding, so they were afraid that they might not be willing to live in his courtyard.
After speaking, he looked at the five people with a blank eye, and there were still some expectations in his heart, at this time, it was past the time of application, if this courtyard could not be rented out today, I was afraid that his profit this month would be a little ugly.
Since the previous life, Huang Xueke has never participated in an auction, and the concept of it is just that the people below hold up a sign, and then the people above knock it with a hammer, and tens of millions will be gone.
Today, when I heard that I had the opportunity to participate in this ancient auction, I was immediately interested, so I looked at Tianhua and Chanyu. At the moment, the two of them have money, and they are the only ones who make up their minds in the end.
Tianhua saw Huang Xue's eyes, knew her intentions, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, since the bid you said is so interesting, it doesn't hurt for us to participate, we want this courtyard." As the eldest son of King Wucheng, he still has a lot of money, but he doesn't want to disobey Huang Xue's will for this little thing.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly led everyone to the other courtyard, and said: "The bidding will start in the city lord's mansion at night, and someone from the small shop will naturally lead you there, and now there is still some time, so you can go back to the room to rest." ”
Since there was still more than an hour, everyone did not say much, but went back to their rooms to rest.
