Chapter 248: Lost
Just when Hou Jiuming was worried about how to arrive before the auction, a rapid figure suddenly appeared in his consciousness.
Turning his head to look, he saw that three or four hundred meters on the side of the galloping road, a figure invisible to mortals was unscrupulously performing light body techniques.
Judging from the mana fluctuations on the other party's body, he is a monk who has completed his qi training.
"Is that okay?"
With such doubts, Hou Jiuming disappeared on the gallop without alarming anyone, and when he appeared, he was already behind the figure.
With his cultivation, he hid it, let alone a little cultivator in the Qi refining period, even if it was the foundation building period, don't think about discovering it if he is not a particularly powerful divine sense.
Unscrupulously followed the figure and soon came to Shenjing City.
When he arrived here, the other party had no intention of stopping, one by one, stepping on the house, and quietly continuing to move forward.
"No one cares, it seems that as long as it's not blatant, no one will care how to get around Shenjing." In order to confirm his thoughts, Hou Jiuming followed for a distance.
After dozens of miles, it was completely certain that no one cared about the monk who had hidden his figure.
Come to think of it, as the center of the Northern Moon Dynasty, there are countless monks, and if they all walk, with the area of Shenjing, I am afraid that they will be disgusted by many monks.
Without any scruples, Hou Jiuming naturally wouldn't be following behind a little monk's ass, and with a boost of speed, he would overtake him in an instant.
The monk who was on his way had just jumped to his feet and wanted to jump to the next roof, but at that moment, a strong wind passed by, causing his body to be unsteady in the air and fall to the side.
Fortunately, with the blessing of his light body technique, a twist and a steady landing on top of a house.
As soon as he stopped, he looked around in disbelief.
After seeing the wind sweeping in front of him, he immediately knew that there was a master passing by next to him just now.
"It's strange, aren't all the masters coming and going, why do you still use the light body technique to hurry?" The little monk who was full of confusion naturally couldn't understand that the master who passed by just now was a person who had just arrived in Shenjing.
…………
Although the Light Body Technique is a spell in the Qi Refining Period, it can be deduced by Hou Jiuming to the level of perfection, and its power is no worse than the spell in the Foundation Building Period.
Even under his use, it has exceeded the speed of light in many foundation building periods.
When I looked at the periphery, I just felt that there were many houses, and I couldn't see the edge at a glance, and there was no too clear concept.
But after entering it, Hou Jiuming was shocked by the density of houses in Shenjing City and the large population.
In his estimation, the Shenjing City alone would probably be equivalent to the area and population of a country in the Huating Sect region.
It's just too big.
From noon to night, Hou Jiuming kept going all the way, and it took more than three hours to reach the center of Shenjing.
When I got here, I saw the prosperity of Shenjing.
Compared with the houses outside, here, they should not be called houses, but should be called small gardens.
Because the area of each mansion is more than 5,000 square meters, there are pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and even lakes.
This lake is not the kind of small pond of 100 square meters dug by people, it is a very large lake.
That's it, it's not the top, the big ones can't even be seen at a glance.
Everyone else is cultivating a forest in the forest, but they are planting a forest in the other courtyard.
When he saw these luxurious gardens, Hou Jiuming popped out two words in his heart.
"Lying ~ Groove ~"
Only these two words can express the envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart.
If he could have such a large courtyard, then the dragon beard would not need to worry about having no place to go.
"No, I'll get one."
This garden-like dwelling is so attractive.
Remove the hide in a dark alley in the middle of nowhere, and walk out into the street.
It's full of houses, and there are no streets selling anything at all.
Most of the people who came and went were servants dressed in the clothes of the inferior.
I looked left and right, and found that the streets were street after street, wall by wall, the road could not be seen at a glance, and the situation was complicated, as long as you were not familiar with it, you had to get lost.
So, Hou Jiuming stubbornly stopped an old man walking on the road.
"Old man, how do you get to the nearest street market?"
"Young man, are you lost?" The old man asked with a smile on his face, he has lived here for almost his whole life, and he has seen many people who have lost their way.
As soon as Hou Jiuming opened his mouth, he knew that he must be asking for directions.
"Let the old man smile, I am not very familiar with this place, I don't know where the road is when I walk, and I hope that the old man will give me some advice." Hou Jiuming saw that the other party saw through his embarrassment, and he no longer pretended, and admitted it calmly.
Fortunately, the other party did not joke, but was very enthusiastic to give him some pointers.
"You walk along this road, and after a dozen alleys, turn left and enter an alley and walk to the end, and you will be able to reach the market."
After listening to the old man's words, Hou Jiuming hurriedly thanked him.
"Thank you, old man, for your advice."
"No thanks, it's just a small thing." The old man waved his hand, then turned to leave, Hou Jiuming stood in place and arched his hand at his back, until the other party walked more than ten meters, then raised his feet and left.
According to the old man's instructions, he walked along the road, and after passing through fifteen alleys, he turned into the sixteenth alley.
The alleys here are not dead ends.
After walking for about a stick of incense, a commotion suddenly came into my ears in the distance.
"Sticky cake, sticky cake, hot sticky cake......"
"Sugar gourd, sweet sugar gourd......"
"Wild meat is sold, come and buy it......"
Hearing these shouts, Hou Jiuming immediately knew that he had found the market.
As long as you go around inside, you will be able to have a general understanding of the nearby situation, so that you will not be unable to find the road like just now.
Out of the alley, the lively atmosphere is blowing in the face, and the wide street is full of people, and there are various small stalls on both sides.
"Wow, this one is so delicious......"
"Miss, look, there's a candy seller, let's buy one, right?"
"Childe, where is there a beautiful young lady, let's go and see."
"Hmph, I'm afraid you haven't fallen in love with someone else's maid."
The noisy sound, mixed with all kinds of selling, made Hou Jiuming a little stunned for a while.
After driving for more than half a month, the road was full of wilderness, and I couldn't see a single figure for half a day.
From that kind of environment, suddenly to the current kind of place, he has an extreme contrast between quiet and lively, and he can't adapt to it for a short time.
Fortunately, it only took a few breaths to adjust.
Then casually blend into the flow of people.
"Childe, buy a sticky cake, it's sweet and soft and very delicious, I guarantee that you will eat it once and think about it a second time." As he blended into the crowd, he pretended to be an ordinary person and went shopping......
