Chapter 484: Golden Gate Station
readx;?
There is a saying in the holy area: the west of the county is Tongguan, and the east of the Long Mountain to see the sea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The north passes through the night city and walks through the barren mountains, and the south goes out of Weishui into the Golden Gate.
Kinmen Pass, located in the south of the Holy Land, even in the southern Xinjiang is also a southerly place, most people who have been here for many years know that as long as they pass through the Golden Gate Pass, it is actually equivalent to leaving the boundary of the Holy Land, although there are at least three or four hundred miles south of the Golden Gate still belong to the territory of the Holy Land. But in fact, there are no soldiers and horses stationed there, let alone ordinary people, and even the daily patrols of the Southern Frontier Guard Mansion generally do not leave the Golden Gate. Over time, Kinmen Pass became synonymous with the southern boundary of the Sanctuary, north of Kinmen Pass is the Sanctuary, and south of Kinmen Pass is a barren land that does not care about anything, and not far to the south, you can see the vast dense forest that stretches for thousands of miles. And at the other end of this vast and boundless dense forest is the legendary spiritual realm.
Kinmen Pass in southern Xinjiang and Dingbei Town in northern Xinjiang are actually similar, both are mixed with good and bad, and most of the people who come and go here are business travelers or sectarians who come and go to the spiritual realm, and other than that, there are only 'southern border guards' wearing the uniform uniform of the southern frontier guards. Because the atmosphere in southern Xinjiang is far more stable than that in northern Xinjiang, there is no garrison in southern Xinjiang, so that the southern frontier guard is enough to cover the sky with one hand here, and the southern border guard who eats imperial food has become the most incapable official in Kinmen Pass.
This year's Five Domains Spirit Banquet will be held in the Spirit Domain, and this kind of thing may not even be found in other parts of the Holy Domain, but in the realm of Jinmen Pass, everyone knows about this matter for a long time. Although only the 100 major sects in the Five Domains are eligible to participate in the Five Domains Spirit Banquet, there are far more people who have a strong interest in the Five Domains Spirit Banquet, the pinnacle feast of the martial artists of the Holy Domain, the Five Domains Spirit Banquet.
Therefore, every session of the Five Domains Spirit Banquet will basically attract thousands of martial cultivators from all directions to join in the fun, even if these people are not qualified to sit at the Spirit Banquet at all, they would rather stand from a distance and watch than see what is going on, and they are always happy to do so. Although the Sacred Domain is the weakest among the Five Domains, it can't stand the large population of the Sacred Domain, so the number of martial cultivators also occupies the top spot among the Five Domains, even if the vast majority of people cultivate to be mediocre and it is difficult to enter the eyes of the other Four Domains Martial Cultivators, but this will not affect the fanaticism of these martial idiots in the Holy Domain for the peak event of the Five Domains Spirit Banquet, and many people will be able to witness a Five Domains Spirit Banquet in this life as a capital that can be shown off to others for a lifetime.
The so-called no profit is not early, some merchants saw this opportunity, so they bought fields in the villages and towns near the Lingjing Valley as early as possible to build extremely simple inns, and then sold the rooms to these people who went to join in the fun at a sky-high price, although everyone knew that these rooms were far from worth the price, but this would not affect the profits of these merchants at all, so that the price of the rooms was constantly rising in various parts of the Five Domains, and now there are still many months before the opening of the Spirit Banquet, but these rooms are already priceless, and most of them have been set in advance。
Kinmen Pass, the place where the sacred realm leads to the spiritual realm, finally ushered in the hustle and bustle it has not had for decades at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.
The boundary of Kinmen Pass itself is not large, and the inner city of Kinmen Pass is only a few dozen miles in radius, and it has been monopolized by the Southern Xinjiang Frontier Guard Mansion. In order to unify the supervision of the mixed inside and outside of Kinmen Pass, the Southern Xinjiang Frontier Guard Office ordered all passers-by from the south to the north to go to only one place if they want to settle down and rest, which is twelve miles north of Kinmen Pass, Kinmen Post Station!
The biggest difference between the Kinmen Post Station and ordinary inns is that the post station is under the jurisdiction of the Border Guard Mansion, which can be regarded as an inn opened by an official family. In addition to the Kinmen Post Station, there is no more than half an inn within a radius of dozens of miles from Kinmen Pass, which is also the rule set by the Southern Xinjiang Border Guard Government, if you want to make a living in this territory of Southern Xinjiang, who dares to offend them? In addition to the existence of the Kinmen Post Station, which can facilitate the border guard office to supervise the passing passengers at any time, there is also a great benefit, that is, all the expenses of the sharp stay will eventually fall into the money bag of the governor of the southern frontier guard, and the cost of the Kinmen post station has long been known, so the benefits brought by the Kinmen post station alone every year are much more than the money of the governor of the southern frontier guard government itself. In this way, how could the Southern Frontier Guard Mansion let the fertile water flow into the fields of outsiders?
Although the Kinmen Post Station is essentially under the control of the Southern Xinjiang Frontier Guard Mansion, in fact, when the guests enter the Kinmen Post Station, they will find that it is actually no different from other Frontier Inns, with a dark and damp environment, shabby guest rooms, half-cooked meals, mixed guests with dragons and snakes, shouting and shouting, and treacherous guys who don't look like good people no matter how they look. Of course, it is also inevitable that an all-martial arts will be staged every once in a while in the Kinmen Post Station, and it is common for the head to break and bleed, and even the death of a person is actually not a big deal here. Which table, chair, and bench in the inn had no traces of slashing and chopping on them? In which corner of the store did there be no traces of blood? But after the killing, the guys in the shop took water and wiped it with sackcloth, and then it was a safe and new day. People who are constantly on the go have long been accustomed to this kind of thing!
After all, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts between passers-by, and people who go south and north will have some means, plus this is a wild place in the south, and people with a little common sense know that they must not show themselves too weak in this kind of place, and even not show too many kind smiles, otherwise others will treat themselves as soft persimmons that do not go through the world. Therefore, in addition to the guys laughing all day long, the guests who come and go look fierce one by one, holding swords and straining their faces, seeing that everyone has a fierce posture of pulling out a knife if they don't agree with each other. This seemingly strong appearance is actually a kind of self-protection when going out, everyone who comes here wants to tell others that they are not easy to provoke, that they don't want to cause trouble, and that others better not provoke themselves.
One side of the force has one side of the means, the Golden Gate Post Station can operate in Kinmen Pass for so many years must have its own reasons, so the conflicts in the inn are mostly between the guests, there are few guests to point the finger at the Kinmen Post Station itself, even fewer people deliberately find fault in the post station, even if the food is unpalatable, there will never be a situation of not giving money. You must know that the Southern Xinjiang Frontier Mansion is only twelve miles away, and unless you are tired of finding yourself unhappy, no one wants to deliberately get along with the Southern Xinjiang Frontier Guard.
For example, there was a group of guests here back then, because the guys at the post station turned over the burden of others and were directly pulled out with a knife and chopped off a hand, and afterwards the people from the Southern Xinjiang Frontier Mansion came violently, and as a result, the group of people showed their identities, and the flag owner of the Border Guard Mansion who handled the matter immediately changed his face and apologized. Not for anything else, just because those people are from the first major sect in the Holy Domain, Xuanzong!
Coming and going, most of the passers-by will take the initiative to weigh their own weight, and try not to provoke right and wrong, so as not to be able to eat and walk around. And the guys in the post station have gradually learned to see people put down dishes, who can be messed with and what people can't be messed with. It is also quite interesting to say, the Golden Gate Post Station is so mixed, but it is well organized by a woman, and this eight-sided exquisite woman is the shopkeeper of this Golden Gate Post Station, no one knows what her name is, only know that people like to call it 'half the sky', which means that she is 'half the sky in southern Xinjiang'.
Legend has it that this half of the sky is the concubine of Zhu Wushou, the governor of the Southern Frontier Guard Mansion, but in fact, no one knows what their relationship is, and of course no one dares to find out.
It is now the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, but the southern Xinjiang region is coincided with the continuous torrential rain, which began to rain three days ago, and has not stopped until now. Many of the guests who came and went here were forced to be trapped in the station, and as time passed, more and more people came to Kinmen Pass, and the Kinmen Station also ushered in a rare liveliness on weekdays.
The Golden Gate Post Station is divided into three floors, the bottom layer of which is the lobby full of tables and chairs, it is said that the lobby is actually a relatively empty broken house, and the upper two floors are all guest rooms, there is no room and room here, all the rooms are arranged exactly the same, but the price is completely different, the less the room remains, the higher the price, if only the last room is left, maybe half of the sky will ask for at least a thousand silver shells, and generally at this time there are often several groups of guests competing for the room, then the result is naturally the highest priceAnd when most of the rooms are empty, very few guests come, and at this time a room may only need one or two silver shells. Such an obvious profit from sitting on the ground and starting the price may only be able to be done by half the sky. This also shows from the side that this woman called Half the Sky is not simple.
Although it was only noon at the moment, the sky was completely covered by dark clouds, the darkness outside was terrifying, and the continuous rainstorm made the post house full of candles feel like night, and the lobby was also full of diners who were eating lunch at the moment.
"I suffered a thousand knives, and today I let the old lady thank you again!"
In the railing on the second floor of the inn, a bewitching woman in her thirties but extremely revealing clothes was gently leaning on the railing, squeezing her proud breasts directly against the railing, and the open collar exposed the snow-white skin on her chest, which was infinitely tempting. Feng Hai is casually inserted into her three thousand green silks coiled up at random, always giving people a lazy feeling of just getting up. Willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, straight nose small but exquisite, snorting between words and deeds, but also two rows of neat white teeth exposed in the two red lips, smooth and delicate face coated with a thick layer of rouge, covering her gentle and feminine beauty, rouge gouache turned her into a soft and seductive state with infinite charm. A pair of big watery eyes are always full of peach blossoms, implying infinite spring that makes the man's heart ripple. A long skirt seems to have been deliberately cut by her to be out of shape, and from time to time between the floats of the skirt will reveal two white and straight *, and the two jade arms never seem to be quietly placed at her side, as long as she speaks, her hands always move with great amplitude, especially when she is close, with her soft snake-like body swinging, it will always bring a burst of fragrant wind, which makes the man intoxicated. Holding a delicate peach blossom fan in his left hand, he pinched Qianqianyu in his right hand and pointed everywhere, but his face was like a complaining woman.
This woman is the female shopkeeper of the Golden Gate Station, half the sky!
Half the Sky spoke in the same tone as her looks, even if it was scolding, it was full of charm. Those who are familiar with her know that Half the Sky's temper is not good, and she will open her mouth to scold when she doesn't agree with her, and even stretch out her hand to beat. But in fact, although she scolded a lot, she didn't really get angry with people, but just because of her personality. People who know her will deliberately say two sentences to her, just to tease this half of the sky in southern Xinjiang, and people who don't know her may be really scared by her changing personality for the first time.
"What's the matter? Who took advantage of the proprietress and didn't give the overnight money? haha......"
As soon as Half the Sky appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the men in the lobby downstairs, and for a while, the sound of teasing and banter was endless.
"Jiu Ye is rich, I don't know how much money you owe the little girl for the night over the years, when are you going to give it to me?" Hearing the man's teasing, Banbiantian was not annoyed, but gently held the railing with his right hand and then deliberately threw a wink at the man who spoke just now, which caused the man named Jiu Ye to feel a little uneasy.
"I'll give it tonight, as long as you let me into your room tonight, I'll give you as much as I want!" Jiu Ye swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, and then responded with a wicked smile, his words caused a burst of laughter in the hall.
"Haha...... The old lady's boudoir is easy to enter but not easy to get out, you have to think about it!"
"Poof!"
Before Banbiantian's words fell, I saw that her right hand was slamming the railing, and then the whole person rose into the air, and her soft body turned straight in mid-air several times before she slowly fell into the arms of the man named Jiu Ye like catkins, and sat on the lap of the Jiu Ye impartially, and at the same time Banbian Tian also reached out and picked up the candlestick on the table, put it on his mouth and blew it lightly, then blew out the burning candle, and then put it back on the table steadily. As the candle flame went out, the table of the ninth master suddenly became a little dim.
With such a charming beauty sitting in his arms, the ninth master couldn't sit still, under the coaxing of several guards next to him, the ninth master, who was still a little nervous just now, suddenly reached out and hugged half of the sky's delicate body tightly in his arms, and a pair of thief hands subconsciously touched the * under the skirt of half the sky.
"When I say killing a thousand knives, I mean that I, who are not angry, light so many candles in broad daylight, and want to kill my mother?
Half of the sky suddenly turned around, and then the whole person also turned suddenly, and somehow broke free from the arms of the ninth master, and before the thief hand of the ninth master touched her skin, half the sky had already flown to sit on the counter in the distance, stretching out his white jade arm and counting the guys in the store one by one. When the guys saw that half of the sky was angry, they hurriedly blew out half of the candlesticks in the lobby, and the light in the entire post station suddenly dropped a lot.
"Boss lady, I heard that you are the only way to the Five Domains Spirit Banquet here, do you have any good news to tell us?"
"Good news?" Half of the Sky's legs suddenly crossed in front of her, and the whole person changed to a more charming posture, and then she asked with beautiful eyes, "What is good news these days?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid, boss, we all know that the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce will deliver a large number of treasures to the Five Domains Spirit Banquet every time, and this time the Five Domains Spirit Banquet will be held in the Spirit Mirror Valley of Loulan in the Spirit Domain, the Golden Gate Post Station is the only place to leave the Holy Domain, and the treasures of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce will definitely pass by you, do you know?"
"Phew!" Banbiantian took a sip, and then complained with a pretended anger on his face, "You know that there is a fart? The Qi Family Chamber of Commerce gave the Five Domains Spirit Banquet, which of you dares to make a bad idea?"
"It's good to see it!" the person below immediately retorted, "Anyway, it's also a treasure from our holy realm, isn't it?"
"Go, go, drink your bar, don't make trouble for the old lady!" Half of the sky waved his hand impatiently and said, "Wait for the rain to stop and leave quickly, don't occupy the old lady's guest room, half a month ago I received a few silver shells from you and have been living until now, and now there are guests who can't overcharge, and the old lady is really a big loss this time!"
"Do you think I don't want to leave? If it weren't for this heavy rain, we would have left a long time ago!" the man laughed and quibbled, "Boss, this is called the store does not leave people in the rain, God gives us the opportunity to be close to the boss!"
"Get close to a fart, and don't pee according to your own virtue!" Banbiantian scolded angrily, but there was another burst of laughter in the lobby.
"Bang, bang!"
Just when there was a commotion in the hall, the door of the post station was knocked on, and then before half the sky shouted, the door had been pushed open directly, and then a group of seven or eight people walked in quickly, and with the opening of the gate, the torrential rain outside also poured into the post station under the sweep of the wind, causing several tables of guests sitting by the door to scold angrily.
"Looking for death, didn't you look at the notice 'full' posted on the door?" Banbiantian frowned as he walked towards the door, waving the peach blossom fan with his hand, and complained unceremoniously.
"It's windy and rainy outside, I'm afraid the notice you said has long been blown away by the wind and rain! We have been doing business all the way to the road, and we have come from afar to see half of the inn, and now we have finally arrived at Jinmen Pass, and I hope that the shopkeeper will think of a way to let us temporarily shelter the wind and rain outside! Business is priceless and priceless, I don't know what the shopkeeper is called?"
The person who walked in front shook the rain on his coat slightly, and then took off the big hat on his head, revealing a handsome and extraordinary face, it was Lu Yifan who came all the way from the Western Imperial City.
"You ......" As soon as Banbiantian, who wanted to scold, saw Lu Yifan's handsome appearance, the anger on his face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a touch of pretending to be a shy little daughter, only to see her reach out and gently put it on Lu Yifan's shoulder, and teased in a soft tone, "Jinmen doesn't know sorrow, and there is no place to return from wind and rain." Passers-by are all villagers, and they know half the sky! It's a little woman, I don't know the son's surname?"
"In the next surname Lu, a single name is a heavenly character! Today, I will send some tea and spices to the spiritual realm for the delivery of my father at home, and when I first arrived in Kinmen, I hope that the shopkeeper of Half the Sky will take care of it!"
