The Ninth Drop of Blood in the City (Part I)

Xiaolai City, located outside the eastern part of the Baizhao Empire, close to the Hega Forest, is forbidden to fight, and is a medium-sized town that can rank in the top ten among the safe gathering places of the foreign terrans. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The towering city walls surround the entire city, which is simple and solemn, making people wonder the true appearance of the city, and only the tall buildings scattered in the city can get a glimpse of the corner. If you look closely, you can find that those milky white light patterns are composed of tiny characters, arranged into runes that are slowly staggering, seemingly disorderly, but implying strange rules. Large and small arrays of talismans covered the city walls, with plenty of light and shadow, dyeing an extremely gorgeous picture, and everyone who saw them for the first time would be shocked by it.

When you enter the city, you will be filled with noise.

Broadly speaking, it seems to be no different from the ordinary people's market, with bustling crowds and stone houses on the roadside.

However, the shops of the Chamber of Commerce did not sell silk and satin, jewelry and spices, but hung a dazzling array of weapons and a wide variety of materials, animal bones, furs, and herbs, all over the floor, and some shops even put out bottles and jars, selling all kinds of colorful elixirs. There were cultivators of different shapes walking in the streets, including big men with giant axes on their backs, young men wearing thin swords and bragging loudly with their companions, and girls in scantily clad clothes who bargained with their bosses with bows and red faces...... In front of each house, there are large light stone lanterns, which illuminate every place with clear and clear light, which is convenient for guests to buy, and it is like a huge night market.

In a small wine shop on the corner of the street, it is even more crowded, and the seats are full.

This wine shop is not big, only two green and white wine flags are planted in front of the door to wave in the wind, and there are only a few small light stone wall lamps in the shop, but there are candles on each wooden table, and the candles are bright, reflecting the lively smiling figures of the drinkers on the wooden wall.

"Sister An, what are you doing? Hurry up, the guests who are eating wine upstairs have ordered the roasted mushroom tiger again!

The girl he called Sister An was sixteen or seventeen years old, the age of a flower, and she was dressed in leather armor, revealing a large area of fair skin. Although she is not very old, her figure is very well developed, and her graceful posture and pride on her chest attract many eyes from the diners to sweep her frequently, but no one dares to come up and talk to her. An Ling is the treasure of this liquor store, it is because of her existence, although this liquor shop is small, the business has been very hot, and at the same time, she is also a martial artist who has reached the middle level of the two heavens, and there are not many cultivators who want to take advantage of her but fold in her hands.

In the entire Eight Desolations Cloud Jiao Great World, less than half of the people had cultivation talents, and they were able to communicate the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and guide the Yan Body to become cultivators. And among this small half of the people who have cultivation talent, only one-third can break through, and the rest all stop at the One Heaven, which shows the difficulty of the cultivation path.

A beautiful girl like An Ling, who can reach the middle level of the Second Heaven at such a young age, is also full of proud capital.

"Okay, okay, that's it!" the thorny rose glanced once more into the corner to the left, and then went upstairs to entertain the drinkers at the urging of the little boy.

After she had settled the guests and avoided a wave of fiery eyes, she returned to the counter on the first floor, and once again involuntarily looked at the dark corner to the left of the liquor store, which was usually not visited at all.

The black-haired boy was still there, he had been sitting there for more than two hours, and he seemed to have been reading something.

This young man was entertained by her, and he was wearing an inferior cloak that could be bought on the street, which could hide his face, and when he first came in, everyone was too lazy to receive him, and he had been in the wine shop for so many years, and everyone was old and spicy, and this kind of person knew at a glance that he was a poor ghost who pretended to be mysterious. It is true that the poor ghost boy only ordered a glass of the cheapest apricot wine and sat for most of the day, if he hadn't sat in a remote corner where no one usually had people, and now there were no new guests coming in, maybe everyone would have invited him out.

It was only when she went to order for him that she saw the young man's face under his cloak. The facial features are elegant and almost perfect, but there is no trace of femininity, the narrow eyes that are peaceful and indifferent, the ink is like sub-lacquer, as if it is to be engraved in the bottom of people's hearts, it is really an unforgettable appearance. She wondered what the man was reading, and she had been sitting there for so long.

Anling decided to go and add him a glass of apricot wine.

She picked up a small jar and was about to walk over, but was grabbed by someone. "An~Ling~Sister~Sister~ Why are you going?" Anling turned her head helplessly, looking at the girl who pulled her with a hippie smile.

"I'm just going to refill the guests......"

The girl wrinkled her nose, "For that poor ghost over there?" and smiled again, "Sister An, you can't have a crush on that guy, do you? I have long found out that you are absent-minded today, and have been looking at him! I want to see what this poor ghost looks like, and he actually charms the thorn roses in our wine shop!"

An Ling's face turned red, and she hurriedly stopped her and scolded: "What nonsense! I'm just curious about what he is reading after sitting for so long!"

The girl looked at her suspiciously, dragging out her voice, "Is it ——?"

"Of course! What's more, in a few days, I will leave Xiaolai City and go to the extreme north to see if I can enter the Wuheng Sect through the Heavenly Test!

At the mention that she was leaving, the girl's mood instantly became low.

"Sister An, it's so dangerous on the way to the extreme north, you can't be more clear about what it's like outside the Yao date, and I heard that the survival rate is only half of it! Brother Zhuzi has been waiting for you, what's wrong with staying here? Why do you want to work hard!?"

An Ling sighed, "The heavenly test is not so terrible, as long as you do what you can, it will be okay to give up at a critical time." It only happens once every three years, I'm seventeen now, and I'm going to be disqualified next year, so I have to go this time. ”

Both of them fell silent again, and just as their atmosphere gradually solidified, the door of the wine shop creaked again, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old black-haired young man came in, grinning at the black-haired young man in his hand, with a tattered cape, carrying a long black stick with thick forearms, starry eyebrows, but also a heroic young man.

"Why is Kaguya so cold this time!Frozen to death!It's still warm in the wine shop!" Ban Cuntou looked around, "Hey, why is no one receiving the master?"

An Ling perked up and hurriedly greeted the past, getting rid of the increasingly heavy atmosphere.

Ban Cuntou's eyes lit up, and he almost didn't whistle: "Beauty!

An Ling then remembered that the restaurant was already full, and her face showed a trace of embarrassment, "I'm sorry for the guest officer, there are no empty seats......

How do you know that the other party laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, how can you make it difficult for a beauty, I'll find someone to share the table by myself!"
