Chapter 206: The Round Table Faction
Cheng Lin stepped into the "wall" one step at a time.
Suddenly the eyes are bright.
When he looked up, there was a brilliant and lively alley in front of him, the alley was long, and there were many antique shops on both sides, and the noise was faintly heard, and it was unexpectedly very lively.
……
This alley obviously existed in the first place, but it was "sealed" or "disguised" by some kind of ability, so that ordinary people couldn't find it at all, even Cheng Lin didn't notice it before opening the ability.
"This is the Cultivator's Alley?"
Cheng Lin stood at the mouth of the alley, on his left-hand side, there was a huge statue carved in stone, the base of the statue was black, like a tile, and the words "Cultivator's Alley" were written in gilded color, which was not a nickname, but a real name.
On top of the black pedestal, stands a white-clad statue of a Faceling with outstretched arms.
Cheng senior!
This is the holy image of Cheng Lin embracing the world on the altar projection last time, and now it has been imitated and placed here to guard, and the role is probably similar to the stone lion in front of the ancient yamen or mansion?
Cheng Lin felt a little strange in his heart.
On his right, there is a flower shop, the door of the store is full of gorgeous chrysanthemums, in August, it is the time when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, a woman with curling iron in the flower shop is carrying a delicate watering can, looked at him, a little surprised, and said: "Official? Folk? ”
This question is obviously asking about Cheng Lin's identity, and the official government should naturally refer to cultivators in the system like Xiao Lapel, and the people should be legally loose cultivators.
There are two types of monks: legal monks who are registered with the government, and hidden illegal monks who have escaped detection.
Since this alley was designated by the students in the group, it means that it must have been filed with the government, in other words, it should be a legal place for cultivators to gather.
Cheng Lin quickly thought about it and said lightly: "The government." ”
The woman in the flower shop smiled: "Little lapels? Please show your ID. ”
Documents?
Cheng Lin was stunned, he is not an official lapel yet, where is the document?
This is a bit troublesome, after thinking about it, Cheng Lin groped in his pocket, took out a small green book, and asked sincerely:
"Is it okay to have a student ID?"
Florist Woman: "......"
After seeing the student ID card with the anti-counterfeiting seal of the Nine Divisions of Lingneng, the woman nodded, "Yes, please come in." ”
At this time, her tone was much more deferential, after all, being able to break the "wall" with her own strength as a student shows that her cultivation is at least second-grade, and second-grade students are synonymous with genius.
"Thank you."
Cheng Lin nodded and continued to move forward.
This alley is really lively.
It was very wide, the lights on both sides were bright, each shop was very exquisite, and there were many customers in each shop, Cheng Lin took a tentative look with his hazy eyes, and was surprised to find that most of those people were actually monks.
It's just that one product accounts for the vast majority.
It was the first time that Cheng Lin had seen so many cultivators outside the academy, and he found it quite interesting.
After walking another few dozen meters, he stopped again.
A restaurant on the left caught his eye.
"This is it."
He muttered.
This store is not big, the door is a little narrow, but very high, it feels similar to the layout of the entrance of the residential building, a staircase up, the restaurant is actually on the second floor, the decoration is in the ancient style, carved beams and paintings, and the top of a pear plaque shows the word "forget worries" under the reflection of the light.
These two words are even, but they have a floating meaning, which seems to contain some kind of power, which makes Cheng Lin can't help but look at it a few more times.
"Hey, you're here! It's waiting for you. ”
Suddenly, a familiar white and chubby figure came out of the gate on the stairs, giggling all the way, and rushed over.
It was Chai Daofei.
His upper body is black with short sleeves, unexpectedly printed with a cartoon portrait of his predecessor in the Q version, and a pair of loose pants on the lower body.
"yes, I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with my thinking, and I'm a little late." Cheng Lin smiled.
It was exactly 7:30 p.m.
"Normal, when I first came here, I was also confused." Chai Daofei laughed.
After a pause, he explained, "The cultivator's alley inevitably led by ordinary people, so they made a hidden door outside.
If the monk of the first grade wants to come in, he can basically only follow the instructions of the janitor outside.
However, the second grade and above can rush in with their own strength, so I didn't mention it to you. ”
Cheng Lin nodded, followed Chai Daofei up the steps, walked to the store, and asked at the same time: "It's the first time I've come here, I really didn't know that there was such a place here, which was run by the government?" ”
Chai Daofei smiled: "Actually, I don't know very well,
I've been here once before,
I heard that this place is not officially run, it should be regarded as a private one.
However, I have already said hello to the local second division, and I have filed it, which is a meeting place that belongs exclusively to cultivators.
You know, after all, there is a gap between cultivators and ordinary people, and sometimes they do need a small circle.
If the government doesn't do it, the people will definitely set it up on their own.
Rather than letting some people fool around, it is better to have this kind of government filing.
At the very least, there is a regulation. ”
Cheng Lin nodded and said, "There are quite a lot of people here." ”
Chai Daofei smiled: "Anyway, I have a lot more people than last time,
Many of them are small lapels from various departments, gatherings, drinking, eating, chatting, exchanging news or something.
And then there are legal loose practices.
There are a lot of people this time, mainly because the projection on the side of the magic capital is about to open.
Everyone is here to join in the fun. ”
Saying that, Chai Daofei led Cheng Lin into the store, the decoration of the store is very natural and fresh, there are a lot of green plants, and even indoor spring water, the environment is excellent, although the store is not big, but at a glance you know that it is extraordinary.
Following Chai Daofei, the two soon came to a seat near the spring.
It was a round table, and at the moment, there were already four people seated here.
Cheng Lin glanced at it, two men and two women, who were talking and laughing at this time, when they saw Chai Dao flying over, they immediately got up and greeted: "Come on, this is the Cheng classmate from the Ninth Academy, right?" ”
After all, Cheng Lin's name is a bit special and too well-known, so in order to avoid some unnecessary gaze, they deliberately did not say his full name.
"Hello everyone."
Cheng Lin smiled and nodded.
The four people present here are all about twenty years old, all of them are young and beautiful, and their demeanor is full of confidence that belongs to the genius of a cultivator.
"Sit, sit, I'll introduce you first." Chai Daofei, as the leader of the group, smiled and began to introduce the other people present to Cheng Lin.
"Liang Pi, a student of the Second Academy, the nickname in the group is Five-color Liangpi, this time he is the east, we haven't ordered yet, wait for you to rest assured and boldly order, this guy has money in his family, you don't need to save him, we can eat back today." Chai Daofei pointed at a person and smiled.
Cheng Lin looked over, it was a very handsome young man, his skin was whiter and more tender than some girls, the bridge of his nose was high, his eyes were deep, his figure was straight, and his clothes belonged to that type of low-key luxury.
Liang Pi smiled kindly: "Hello, the first time we met, I lost my welcome." ”
Chai Daofei pointed to a silent young man with slightly dark skin beside Liang Pi again, and said, "This is Xu Dong, who is also a student of the Second Academy. ”
This person seemed to be relatively taciturn, nodded when he heard the words, and Cheng Lin also responded with a smile.
"As for these two beauties, hehe, you should be able to see it, they are twin sisters, both from the Sixth Academy, and the group nicknames that my sister is cold tofu, and my sister is spicy tofu, speaking of which...... Eh, which of you is my sister? ”
Chai Daofei suddenly became embarrassed when he faced two almost identical girls.
The two girls from the Sixth Courtyard smiled at the same time, their appearance was really very similar, almost no difference could be found, and the clothes were exactly the same, the appearance was pretty, and they belonged to that kind of attractive type.
"Hello classmate Cheng, I'm my sister, Li Jin."
"Hi ~ Xiao Cheng senior, look at me, look at me, I'm my sister, Li Yu!"
The two girls greeted each other.
"Hello."
Cheng Lin smiled, this is the end of the introduction.
Well, there are six of you here.
The cool skin of the second courtyard...... Ah No, it's Liang Pi and Xu Dong, the sisters of the Sixth Academy, Li Jin and Li Yu, and Chai Daofei of the Tenth Academy, plus themselves, all of them are above the second grade, and they are all top-notch lineups in any college.
Seeing that his fans are so good, Cheng Lin is very pleased.
There's a successor.
"Come on, come on, order food, I've been out since I came out, but I haven't drunk a sip of water, I'm so hungry." Chai Daofei said babblingly.
Liang Pi, the rich second-generation who is the east, took out the menu with a smile and said, "Everyone order, just according to what Daofei said, but you don't need to save me, haha." ”
"That's what you said! I ordered it! ”
Sister Li Yu said happily.
Cheng Lin smiled silently on the side, the environment of this place is not bad, I don't know what dishes there are, speaking of which, aside from the time of the No. 16 Spirit Land, I really haven't eaten anything expensive.
When my mother was still alive, she ate home-cooked food made by herself, and later, when she lived alone, she sometimes bought a few kinds of vegetables to stir-fry, or ordered takeout.
He is not a big spender, in fact, Cheng Lin is a very sloppy and improvising person, he is never picky about food and accommodation, and his personality is a little bit of peace with what happens.
It's just that next, the dishes ordered by a few people surprised him.
"Egg fried rice set, with seaweed soup and pickled radish, let's have one."
"A drawer of soup dumplings."
"A plate of anchovy shrimp."
"Boutique roast goose...... Ah, sold out? That's it. ”
"Let's change the Dongpo elbow, well, a copy."
"Wine? To the barrel bar, well, one drink. ”
"Tea eggs, can you have more? OK? Great, that'...... Two for one person? There are twelve in total, and I can't afford to eat them usually, but this time I have to eat a big family, hehe, thank you Liangpi classmates. ”
……
Seeing that several students ordered food one after another, Cheng Lin was puzzled.
I guess this dish is too ordinary.
It's just a home-cooked meal from a roadside shop, that's it?
looked at the smiling rich second-generation Liang Pi, and said in my heart that you said arrogantly before, you thought it was something amazing, that's it?
And who else is that...... Sister, right? Eating a tea egg makes you happy like this?
Still can't afford to eat?
Can't afford to eat tea eggs?
Are you teasing me?
The monthly subsidy for students alone is enough for you to eat tea and eggs, right?
Cheng Lin was speechless.
"Come on, Cheng Lin, you can order a few things too, you're welcome." Chai Daofei smiled and handed over the menu.
Cheng Lin took it with a numb face, and when he saw the prices on the menu, he immediately raised his eyebrows.
Menu:
God-level egg fried rice: 188
Egg fried rice set (with seaweed soup, pickled radish): 288
Soup dumplings: 66/cage
Blueberry jam 108/dish beef sauce 108/plate
Tea Eggs: 1888
Anchovies: 1288
Pi tube wine: 5888/pot (four taels)
Mibai: 98/serving
Dongpo elbow: 2080/share
The units are all RMB.
……
A full-page menu, densely packed, and the terrifying price moved Cheng Lin, and he couldn't help but begin to doubt life.
Do you think that the prices in the first-tier cities in China are so expensive?
No wonder I want a 996 ICU...... Who can afford this price?
Swallowed and foamed.
Cheng Lin raised his head and asked seriously: "Is this shop the same as the one who sells pancakes and fruits at the door of the alley?" Are they all so expensive? ”
Chai Daofei was stunned: "No." ”
Liang Pi, the rich second generation, suddenly realized something, laughed, and explained to Cheng Lin: "You may be here for the first time, don't understand, don't look at these home-cooked dishes are expensive, but there is a reason why they are expensive, you know, the owner and chef of this shop is also an extraordinary monk." ”
"The owner of this shop? Who is it? Cheng Lin was surprised.
Liang Pi smiled and said, "Yuan Zhou." ”
