In the middle of the night, it was quiet in Chaosi Alley, and the candlelight was sparkling, and soon it was completely dark.

The girl carried the lantern and walked cautiously in Chaosi Alley, looking at the only small courtyard in front of her that was still lit, she couldn't help but be a little anxious, this dark atmosphere made her a little girl nervous, and always felt as if someone was following her behind.

As the saying goes, it's not ghosts that frighten people to death, but fantasies that are extremely scary.

Chaosi Lane is not a rich lane in the capital, but it is not a poor lane, but because the people living in it are more mixed, even if someone cleans the street, it still looks a little messy.

Especially in the middle of the night after the snowfall, the whole place is silvery white, and the surroundings are empty and silent, which makes me feel even more infiltrated.

The girl almost trotted all the way, and finally came to the door of Li Mengzhou's courtyard.

Knock softly on the wooden door, and the crisp sound spreads far away, as if it has an echo in the alley.

The girl didn't wait long, the courtyard door was opened, Li Mengzhou was neatly dressed, he hadn't fallen asleep yet, but had been thinking about what Qingyi had left, and Li Mengzhou was surprised to see the girl standing in front of the door.

In the middle of the night, a girl found her home, it seemed easy to make people think about it, even if the girl was from the Qinglou and was not restricted by too many secular etiquette, but it was not an ordinary thing after all.

Li Mengzhou waved his hands in salute, looked at the girl with a red face from the cold, and said, "The girl came to visit late at night, but what is the important matter?"

Of course, he didn't dare to say what he thought in his heart.

The girl didn't answer, handed the lantern to Li Mengzhou, and walked straight to the courtyard.

Pushing open the door of the house, there was a fire burning inside, and the warmth immediately swept over the whole body, and the girl exhaled with her palms in her hands, as if she was very happy.

Li Mengzhou followed, put the lantern aside, and gently closed the door in order not to let the heating pass.

The girl seemed to have returned to her own house, but she was not polite, she shrank directly into the quilt and quickly kicked off her shoes.

Although Li Mengzhou felt a little embarrassed, he didn't stop her, but continued to ask in a low voice: "Miss girl, are you in trouble?"

The girl squinted her eyes, wrapped her body in the futon, and said in a coquettish voice: "If you don't go to Gentle Township for a few days, how can I come here, the streets are frozen, the snow is everywhere, and the wind is cold at night, just warm up your body in your bed, what are you urging?" ”

Thinking that the girl had lent herself silver and lent the quilt to others to warm up, it was not a loss, and she also made money, and the girl was really fragrant.

Li Mengzhou chuckled: "I'll pour you a cup of hot tea." ”

Although the silver on his body is almost spent, there is charcoal in the small courtyard for heating, and there is also a well in the backyard, so you can still have hot water in the kettle to make tea.

The girl looked at Li Mengzhou, who was boiling water, looked at the room again, and said, "Where did you get the money to buy this courtyard?"

Li Mengzhou turned his back to the girl and replied casually: "It's just good luck, someone else sent it." ”

The girl couldn't help but exclaim, and when Li Mengzhou's surprised gaze came, she said angrily: "You are a liar, what idiot would give you a yard for nothing, why can't I touch this kind of wrongful head." ”

Li Mengzhou thought of Qingyi's expressionless face, and nodded secretly, it really looked like a wronged man.

How can he tell the truth to the girl, since he is already a member of the Heavenly Council, he should abide by the agreement, after all, the result of not complying will be very troublesome, he is not afraid, but he hates unnecessary trouble.

He looked at the unhappy appearance of the girl, shook his head slightly, and said, "Maybe there is such a wronged boss in the capital, and I happened to run into it." ”

The girl was not satisfied with this answer, most of the girls in the Qinglou were exquisite, she naturally knew that there must be other reasons for this, but Li Mengzhou didn't say it, and she didn't want to force her to ask.

Xu was angry, and the girl lost her interest in hiding in Li Mengzhou's bed, turned over, put on her shoes, took a cup of hot tea handed by Li Mengzhou, took a small sip, and said: "There are a lot of young talents in the capital, maybe your luck is good, but there is a person with better luck recently, maybe it's not luck, people have real skills, and they look better than you." You should have heard of Guan Muyun, who was admitted to the academy with the first place, he came to Gentle Township tonight. ”

Li Mengzhou didn't have much interest in Guan Muyun, who had entered the realm of traveling far away in the academy exam, but he was a little emotional when he first heard about it, but the girl said that Guan Muyun was better looking than herself, which made him a little unconvinced.

He touched his face and said angrily: "What's the use of being good-looking, it's just that the skin is a little whiter, and when I cover it white after a while, I'm just a beautiful man." ”

The girl pursed her lips and smiled delicately, and said, "Yes, you are really not ugly, but you are a little darker." However, you are indeed a little whiter than when you first came to the capital, and it seems that you have been closed for the past few days, but it does have some effect. ”

Li Mengzhou is not interested in the topic of his skin color, he is not born so dark, but he lives in the lowest and darkest place, caused by perennial sun exposure, if he wants to make his skin white, it is not difficult, it just takes some time, and he has no idea about skin color, and he will not deliberately think about becoming white.

Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Li Mengzhou said: "It's very late, and the girl came to Chaosi Lane late at night, won't it just discuss the topic of whether I look good or not, right?"

The girl was quite bored, and said with resentment: "Are you impatient, and want to drive me away quickly? ”

Although he was misunderstood, Li Mengzhou really didn't bother to explain, he felt a little tired, if it wasn't for the visit of the sister-in-law, he would have been ready to sleep. The day after tomorrow is when the mountain gate of the Sword Courtyard of the Palace is wide open, and he needs to nourish his spirit.

So he didn't speak, just looked at the girl silently, of course, partly because he didn't know what to say.

Since I am too lazy to explain the misunderstanding, there is naturally no need to say something superfluous.

After staring at her with big eyes, the girl was defeated, and she was secretly annoyed that Li Mengzhou was really a white-eyed wolf, and she was really blind and thought that he would not be able to move an inch in the capital, so she specially gave him some silver.

Everyone in the world talks about the unreliability of the little white face, and I don't want the little black face to be so unreliable, and sure enough, there is no good thing for men in the world.

Li Mengzhou naturally didn't know what the girl was cursing him in her heart, he just didn't want to talk and explain because of fatigue and some other reasons, but the impression of the girl was greatly reduced.

Of course, even if Li Mengzhou knew this, he wouldn't care.

"It's everyone Yu who wants to look for you, maybe there is something important, although I don't know what is important for everyone Yu to find you, but you still want to go to Gentle Township with me." ”

The girl was very angry, so she no longer had a good face, snorted coldly, pushed the door and walked out.

Li Mengzhou scratched his cheek, he vaguely seemed to notice something, but he still didn't say anything, just silently followed the girl out of the courtyard.

Chaosi Lane is not very far from Yueming Lake, so it didn't take much time to come to Gentle Township.

Although the night was deep and most of the capital had fallen silent, the vicinity of Yueming Lake was still very lively.

The girl ignored Li Mengzhou when she took him to Gentle Township, and went back to the room to rest on her own, but gave him a roll of the eyes before leaving.

Li Mengzhou also felt a little embarrassed at this time.

However, he was not embarrassed for too long, because after seeing everyone Yu, his mood quickly improved, and he forgot about the girl in an instant.

Everyone Yu helped him find a few tailors in the capital, not everyone, but the kind that is not famous, and there are even a few, if they are not deliberately looking for it, they have not even heard of it.

An alien who has entered the visualization stage but is different from a cultivator, no matter what industry is involved, should be a person with a very good reputation, but perhaps this is the capital, not the world, and if you want to make a name for yourself here, it is very difficult to do it just by visualizing the aura of heaven and earth.

The capital city was full of cultivators, and the monks of the Far Journey Realm and the Inheritance Realm could be seen almost everywhere, and those so-called aliens who had not even opened the door of the Qi Sea were naturally even more difficult to get on the stage.

According to Li Mengzhou's understanding, the only one who can occupy a position in the capital is the divine arithmetic named Qianjizi, but in the final analysis, he only has a certain reputation, and he still can't be respected by the real big people, but he is just praised in the well of the capital.

The arithmetic industry is similar to the fortune teller stall, and most of them are generally considered charlatans, but if there is a divine arithmetic among the arithmetic, it is a very remarkable existence, because the divine arithmetic has a great chance of calculating a person's short-term fate.

In the world of cultivators, except for the great cultivators who have entered the Five Realms, ordinary cultivators cannot touch such things as fate, even if the things calculated by the divine arithmetic are not necessarily accurate, they can only calculate whether a person will be planted in a few days, or there will be a bloody disaster, the specific details cannot be judged, but in the eyes of ordinary people, this is also a very magical thing.

Cultivators who have not entered the Four Realms often respect a Divine Arithmetic Master, especially some people with bad intentions or before taking revenge, they will ask the Divine Arithmetic to calculate a hexagram to determine whether the matter can be done or not.

Therefore, the status of the Divine Arithmetic is second only to the Medicine King Chenru of the Medicine King Valley, and the reason why it is inferior is because the Divine Arithmetic has only found some spells, so that he has some extraordinary skills, but after all, he is just an ordinary person without cultivation qualifications. And the medicine king Chenru not only has the best medical skills in the world, but he is also a great cultivator who has entered the Five Realms, and the two cannot be compared at all.

The so-called florists and lower level are pure magicians who barely contemplate the aura of heaven and earth and other various alien professions, the status of the divine arithmetic is the highest, but only in the eyes of ordinary people and cultivators below the three realms, the more ordinary profession of tailoring, even if you can visualize the aura of heaven and earth, it will not bring much change, it is better outside, but in the capital, there is really no status, I am afraid it is very difficult to support a family.

Perhaps for various reasons, there are still some tailors who can visualize the aura of heaven and earth who choose to stay in the capital, but they are basically the invisible kind of people.

In such a short period of time, everyone Yu found a few tailors who were most likely to be inhumans, which naturally helped Li Mengzhou a lot.

The day after tomorrow is the day when the mountain gate of the palace sword courtyard is opened, if the black silkworm armor can be made, Li Mengzhou's own safety can also be more guaranteed, although he doesn't think that he will encounter any danger just by being admitted to the palace, but there are dangers everywhere in the capital itself, and there is no harm in having one more means to save his life.

Although he has been quiet in the past few days, perhaps it is indeed because the Heavenly Council is secretly protecting him, but Li Mengzhou always has an illusion, as if some danger is about to befall him.

He recalled the dead soldiers who chased Qing Jiu at the beginning, and what Qing Yi had said to him, and this uneasy feeling became a little heavier.

The calmer he was before the danger came, the more likely it was that if it erupted, it would be beyond his expectations.

Therefore, whether the manufacture of black silkworm armor is currently useful or not, it is imperative, otherwise it will be too late once something happens.

Li Mengzhou took the list handed over to him by everyone Yu and left Gentle Township, he still decided to visit these people one by one tomorrow, there are only a few hours left in this night, and nothing should happen.
