After the waves of the giant beast, everyone could no longer sleep, and even the weapons in their hands did not dare to retract their sheaths, always paying attention to the changes on the river, for fear that another fierce beast would jump out from time to time.

The east is gradually whitening, and the rising sun finally frees everyone from the tension, and day is always more secure than night.

As the sky continued to brighten, a trace of sleepiness also poured out, and people discussed taking turns to be on duty, anyway, the boat was going down the river, even if it was left alone, it would still be able to reach Chu City.

Qi Fei rubbed his sleepy eyes, compared to the others, his mental state was quite good, even so, it didn't take long, he couldn't hold on, and then he lay down in the canopy and fell asleep.

When I woke up, the sun turned most of the sky, the old man shook the pulp very rhythmically, the sunset reflected the sky behind him again, the picture was still as peaceful and beautiful as yesterday in Jiangcheng, and last night's experience was like a dream, after waking up, everything was the same.

The person at the bow of the boat stood up, looked at the more and more ships in front of him, and said, "Finally arrived in Chu City!"

When Qi Fei heard this, he immediately jumped up, causing the boat to shake again, and everyone looked at him and laughed.

I saw that the river in front of me was getting wider and wider, and in the distance, there were nearly 100 wooden boats of different sizes drawing out of the water curtain in the water. And in the farther distance, the outline of the city wall faintly appeared, and it seemed that it had really arrived in Chu City.

The further they went, the more ships came to their fellow boats, and the boat stopped at a distance of more than a hundred feet from the city wall, because the boats in front of it had already filled the river, and could only move slowly.

Listening to what the old man paddling said, since the Nine Cities Conference was a triennial event in Chu Jiang, which was extremely grand and important, as early as a month ago, the Gusu City Lord of Chu City ordered to make good preparations for the conference and do a good job of checking the boats entering and leaving Chu City, so as to prevent people with bad intentions from sneaking into Chu City and destroying the Nine Cities Conference.

There were hundreds of ships ahead, if not hundreds, and at the current pace, if you wanted to line up to get into the city, you would have to wait at least until after dark. But fortunately, the small boat of Qi Fei and the others did not plan to enter the city, and the old man who rowed the oars had to pick up other boat passengers outside the city and return directly to Jiangcheng.

A few people landed outside the city, but they saved a lot of trouble, and entered the city directly from the city gate not far away, and after entering the city, Qi Fei and the others separated from those colleagues in Jiangcheng.

The night is shrouded, and thousands of lanterns are lit in the streets and alleys of Chucheng, because the Nine Cities Conference is about to be held, the streets of Chucheng are much more prosperous and lively in the past.

The two of them kept looking around as they walked, feeling both novel and excited.

Qi Fei was looking at the new things that he had never seen before, while the wandering Taoist was looking at the shadow of the tavern.

"Haven't you drunk enough in Jiangcheng?", Qi Fei glanced at him.

"Jiangcheng's wine is not necessarily as good as Chucheng's wine!"

Qi Fei said in his heart: "With the same river water, is it possible that the water in the middle reaches is sweeter than the river water in the upstream!" Then he touched the clothes on his chest and said: "All our belongings are fifteen taels of silver left, and the hotel is all improvised, and we can't drink a drop of wine." ”

Yunyou Daoren's face immediately became bitter, "Why is there only so much left, are you kid secretly spending money again?"

Qi Fei was speechless for a moment, and said, "After following you for four years, I have never felt how heavy the thirty taels of silver are on my body!"

"Hey, you stinky boy, now you dislike the master for being poor, can you blame me for having no money, that's because you earn less!"

Hearing this, Qi Fei wanted to die at this time, and shot back: "Earning more and earning less is not enough for you to spend!"

"Master, I taught you so many things, if you don't give Master the money you earn, who do you want to spend it on?"

Qi Fei raised his head and said confidently: "Daughter-in-law!"

The two were silent, and the originally lively street suddenly fell silent, and everyone was looking at the master and apprentice.

Then, the men cast malicious glances at him, as if they were all scolding him: "You stupid thing that disgraces a man!"

The women all stared at him with squinting eyes—where to find such a reasonable man!

"It's just talking, it's just talking, hehe!", he scratched his head, pulled up the Yunyoudao man, and quickly disappeared from people's sight.

The two found a very ordinary inn, and after dinner, they did not leave the inn to play in the city, but stayed quietly in the house.

Qi Fei sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and engaged in the daily retreat. The wandering Taoist squinted his eyes and leaned on the edge of the bed, not knowing whether he was napping or thinking about a problem.

An hour later, Qi Fei opened his eyes, stretched his muscles, and completed today's retreat.

Hearing the movement, the eyelids of the Yunyou Daoist also moved, still reclining, and said, "After watching the Nine Cities Conference, let's go west." ”

Hearing this, Qi Fei didn't have much reaction, just like a family routine, and said, "Haven't you always cared about these things?"

Yun You slowly opened his eyes and sat up, his old face a little more tired and worried.

"I'm just curious. ”

Qi Fei pursed his lips and disagreed.

"Even if the demons really have any movements, what can we do if we are weak. ”

"That's just the conjecture of you and me, the master and the apprentice, as for whether there is or not, you can only know when you go to the ghost gate. ”

Yun You didn't change his tone when he said the three words "Ghost Gate", and Qi Fei didn't have any special reaction when he heard these three words, those three words were like ordinary words that were often mentioned to the two of them.

But if you let other people hear it, the reaction will be completely different.

Before the demons were silent in Lethe for three thousand years, although there are often rumors in the world that some demons are causing trouble to the world, but after all, those are not worth mentioning petty fights, and even without the help of the eight famous sects, some small sects that claim to be righteous have the ability to directly solve the problem.

Compared with the various rumors that have never stopped, the number of times "Ghost Gate" has been mentioned is very rare, because in the hearts of the human race and the demon race, these three words have a lot of weight.

It is the intersection of the two worlds of yin and yang!

It is one of the three forbidden places of death in the world!

It is the last barrier for the demons to attack the Yang Realm!

It was the last natural danger to protect the defeated army of the demon clan three thousand years ago!

After that battle, the Ghost Gate Pass was sealed by the masters of the human and demon clans with the "Demon God Seal", and the demon army could not pass. For three thousand years, the seal is still there, but no one knows if the masters of the demon clan have destroyed it, few people or demons will approach that place, some don't want to get close, and most of them don't dare to approach.

When many people hear these three words, most of them can't help but think of the group of murderous, evil, bloody, and dirty demons, so everyone is extremely jealous of these three words, and they don't want to mention them, let alone hear them.

Qi Fei and Yunyou Daoren are exceptions.

In the past year, they have said many times, so much that they have become accustomed to it, and even numb, just like three meals a day, it is commonplace, and they don't feel anything anymore.

The early summer nights are often hot and sleepless, but it is better to be in the wild with a night breeze. But being stuffed in the house, and the most ordinary room in the most ordinary inn, without any measures to escape the heat, it is absolutely impossible to sleep in such conditions.

After three difficult hours in a daze, Qi Fei exhaled dizzily and sat up with the arrogant snoring of the Yunyou Daoist.

Just after the fifth watch, the sky has begun to brighten, although the east has not yet whitened, but the deep blue sky has gradually faded.

Pushing the door and going downstairs, the man at the inn was already busy, preparing grass for the horses in the backyard, and after washing, he jumped on the roof while the man was not paying attention.

The building of the inn is not high, if you watch the sunrise here, I am afraid that you can only see the sun at noon, but Qi Fei does not really want to see the sunrise at this time, he has been to so many places over the years, and he has seen a lot of sunrises, he is just idle and bored, it is hot below, and he wants to come up to breathe.

Looking at it, the scale of Chu City is really not small, as the center of the nine cities of Chu River, she should be the largest and most prosperous.

He has been to many cities, but none of them can compare to the city under his feet now, after all, this is the Central Plains, all the conditions together, should give birth to such a large city, but I don't know what kind of appearance she looked like three thousand years ago.

The house is stuffy, but the upstairs is extremely refreshing, even if the roof is not very high, but it is windy, Qi Fei's favorite is such a wind, cool and comfortable.

Unconsciously, it seemed that only one tea time had passed, and the sky had all been brightened, and the sound of the guys below calling the guests for breakfast could be faintly heard.

At this time, there were a few people in front of the door of the inn, so early, it should not be the hotel.

When the man saw a guest coming in, he immediately stepped forward to greet him, and after bypassing the counter and seeing the face of the leader clearly, he was immediately stunned for a moment, and then greeted him with a smile, but his attitude was deliberately respectful.

"Second Master Cheng, please!"

The man at the head has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a beard on his face, and a powerful momentum, but he has no arrogant and domineering meaning, and he looks like he should be a practicing martial artist.

"Man, is there a customer named Qi Fei in your store, who came with an old man? ”

At this moment, Qi Fei happened to come in from the backyard and looked at the man's posture, a little surprised and puzzled.

Xiao Er naturally saw him too, and didn't dare to hide anything, so he pointed directly at him and returned to the big man: "Second Master Cheng, that guest officer is Qi Fei." ”

Qi Fei didn't speak, he didn't know what these people were looking for him to do, since they were here to find him, let's listen to what they had to say first.

"Little brother, are you Qi Fei?", Dahan's tone was a little sluggish, with a little uncertainty or disbelief.

Qi Fei nodded, and his heart relaxed a lot because of the other party's "little brother".

(I hope that the justified sentence "daughter-in-law" for Qi Fei will not attract the contempt of all male readers! Let me tell you a secret, Hancheng is not afraid of wives! The second update, brothers and sisters will smash the recommendation votes! Thank you)
