Chapter III
The carriage drove forward slowly, Chu Ci knocked on the window, the curtain was opened, revealing a delicate and beautiful face, the long black hair was tied at the back of the head casually, quite a bit of male and female taste, a pair of peach blossom eyes were warm and shiny, but under a closer look, it seemed that the pupils were shallow and deep, and it looked a little strange.
"Chongzhi, that person obviously didn't tell the truth just now, he looked fierce and vicious, and he wanted to draw a knife to cut me." Saying that, he touched the compass in his hand with pity, "This is something I spent two years of hard work to make, and I can't go wrong." ”
Lin Xiao, who was driving, chuckled lightly when he heard this, "You are really stupid to do research, if you really have a heavy treasure or spiritual light, Chongzhi would have told you a long time ago, and you still need to ask those two ordinary people?" ”
"But where does my compass point to that place?"
"Stupid, your compass is fine, Chongzhi's eyes are fine, the problem must be the girl who was called a ghost."
"Nonsense, how can a little girl cause the reaction of my compass, even if the grandfather of the Zhou family comes out, it won't, my compass is used to find spiritual veins, and it doesn't have a certain degree of rich aura, so it can't cause a reaction at all."
"What if that girl is a plain immortal, don't you see that Chongzhidu is interested in her?"
"Su Xian? What about you as a three-year-old? Do you practice your brain into muscles every day? ”
Saying that, Chu Ci no longer paid attention to Lin Xiao and looked at Zhou Chongzhi, "You can tell me, what did you see?" ”
Zhou Chongzhi closed his eyes and thought about it, "I saw that the originally gently flowing aura instantly converged in the direction of the compass, and my grandfather couldn't control that much aura, so I originally thought that your guess was right, it was a heavy treasure or a spiritual light, but after we arrived at that place, the aura did not get together, it was no different from other places, so even if that person lied, it was not possible that the force of nature, it could only be man-made, Su Xian was indeed too exaggerated, However, if there is a spiritual weapon or spirit rune that has been handed down, it is also possible, but I think those two people are just ordinary people, if it is really a spirit weapon or spirit rune, it is too overkill, so I really can't figure it out. ”
Chu Ci looked at him in surprise, "Is there anything in this world that you can't figure out?" ”
"I'm not a god, how can I think about everything thoroughly, okay, I've also accompanied you to find it, since I can't find it, I'll put away your compass first, it's important to get down to business, or hurry back to the official road, we've been delayed for a lot of time."
"What about those two people just now? Just leave it alone? Maybe there are wild beasts around here, what if they take them and eat them? ”
"There aren't any big beasts around here, and Lin Xiao has contacted the guards of Abyss City, someone will deal with it."
Hearing Zhou Chongzhi say this, Chu Ci had no choice but to sigh, carefully handed the compass to Zhou Chongzhi, watched him put it back in the box, put down the curtain of the carriage, and then reluctantly staggered his eyes and followed the carriage forward.
Outside the Abyss.
Su Liang finally walked to the crowded place, looking at the tall city wall in front of him couldn't help but exclaim, such a tall city wall, I don't know how to build it, the city gate is written with the word huge hidden abyss, the penmanship is sharp, the momentum is natural, it seems that there is a dragon about to break out of the word, the more you look at it, the more dizzying it is, and there is a long queue under the city gate. Suddenly, a cavalry passed through the city gate quickly, and the horses' hooves splashed with puffs of fine sand, and all the people and cars around them gave way, and the cavalry quickly disappeared outside the city.
"Little girl, is it your first time in the city?" The eldest lady at the end of the queue held the child and beckoned to Su Liang, "Come here and line up, otherwise the soldier will catch you up in a while!" ”
Su Liang nodded and walked over to line up behind the eldest lady. "The first time I've come here, this city gate is so big."
"It is said that when there were still immortals in the past, the immortals cultivated it, and it was built with a wave of their hands, and there are still many relics of that time in the city." While teasing the child, the eldest lady said to Su Liang, "Didn't the immortals all go later?" It became the current Abyss City. ”
Su Liang looked at the child in the eldest mother's arms, a pair of big eyes were very clean, Su Liang smiled at him, he also smiled at Su Liang, spitting bubbles in his mouth, very cute.
"Immortals? Do you mean the former monks? ”
"Then I don't know, but it is said that all of them are immortal, and they can live without eating, and you can see at a glance which piece of land has money buried in it, isn't that a fairy?"
"Yes, Auntie is right." Su Liang nodded, followed the team and continued to walk forward, looking at the city gate and asked thoughtfully, "Is the eldest lady from this hidden abyss city?" ”
"Yes, my family opened a hospital in the city, and it's not a year old, so I went back to my ancestral house with my man." As he spoke, he dragged the uncle who was carrying the burden in front of him, and the uncle turned around and smiled casually, and turned around again, "What about you, little girl?" Why did you come alone? There is no adult next to him, the road near the past few years is not very peaceful, it is said that several families have encountered robbers a few years ago, if it is only to lose some money, it is good, I am afraid that not only to make money but also to kill it, you are such a peugeot girl, it is too dangerous to walk alone. ”
"My father asked me to come out and walk around, saying that it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles." Only then did Su Liang realize that the two big men he had met before were robbers, and sure enough, what his father said was right, he was still too lacking in common sense. "But it's okay to protect yourself."
"Your father is also too big-hearted." The eldest lady frowned, but just when the line arrived at the city gate, the eldest lady stopped speaking, checked the soldiers guarding the gate and entered the city gate, "That little girl, we will go first, if there is any inconvenience, you can come to Yanhetang in the east of the city to find me." ”
Su Liang waved his hand to the eldest lady, and also passed through the city gate, as soon as he entered the city gate, it was a wide main road, enough to walk two carriages side by side, the main road was full of merchants and vendors, shouting endlessly, there were a few clever children who were specially guarding the city gate, looking at the crowd entering the city, and when they met Su Liang, they were standing on the side of the road with a sigh, and they rushed up, and introduced various accommodations and products, a simplely dressed child squeezed into Su Liang's side smoothly with this short figure, holding a stack of papers, and forced it into Su Liang's hands, Shouted loudly: "Girl! Girl! Need a guide? I am very familiar with all kinds of historical sites and famous streets and good shops in this hidden abyss city! Only 20 spirit coins are required! I'll take you all over the Hidden Abyss City, and the price is affordable! Girl, think about it! ”
When the other children saw Su Liang take the order, they rushed towards the others and did not compete with him.
"You can just call me Ermao." Ermao straightened the hat that had just been squeezed crookedly, and saluted Su Liang with a smile, "Girl, I see that your face is very raw, come back to Qianyuan City, come to do business or play?" ”
"Come and play."
"This feeling is good, the east of the city is where the government and noble merchants live, most of the rich and powerful people in Qianyuan City live there, the south of the city is a commercial street, like Babaolou, Cuiliufang, Yuanyinlou or something The big shops are over there, most of the places in the west of the city are for us ordinary people, all kinds of small merchants and hawkers, the north of the city is a place for all kinds of fun, tea shops, wine shops, gambling houses and powder buildings are all in that area, but I see that you have just arrived today, and the dust and dust are estimated to be very tired, or find you an inn first, you first have a full meal, rest, Anyway, as long as you're not in a hurry, it's better to be comfortable, you say? ”
Su Liang nodded, feeling that what Ermao said made a lot of sense, "Okay, then go to the inn first." ”
"Okay, girl, please come here, I recommend you to come to the inn, although the price is more expensive, but it is next to the river, the scenery is better, and the inside is clean, and the cooking level of the cook is also a must."
"Okay."
Su Liang agreed and followed Ermao, and walked into an inn in a strange way, "You rest first, I'll come to you after lunch, and I'll take you to play in the afternoon, but you have to pay me ten spirit coins to make a fixed payment, and then pay me the rest when you have played." Seeing Su Liang pay for the room, Ermao's smile became even brighter, and he took the ten spirit coins given by Su Liang, and made an appointment with Su Liang to leave the inn.
Set the room, Su Liang simply ordered a meat and a vegetarian two signature dishes, the taste is really good, the inn Xiao Er saw Su Liang alone, so he took more care, chatted with Su Liang, said that the name of the inn is so strange, because the innkeeper said that he has nothing to do, and wants to open an inn to see the state of life, so he waved the pen and named it the inn, which means that there is a trip when there is leisure, the owner is not short of money, and the inn is not to make money, just to play, the salary that can be given is enough, and the owner is not in charge of things, just to have a good environment, The guy at the inn thinks that it is not easy to find such a good owner, if the inn is down, it is a pity, then one or two are on the heart, one and two, it is a prosperous source of customers, not to mention making a lot of money, at least the trickle of water, the income continues.
This can be regarded as the owner's unintentional insertion of willows and willows, Su Liang nodded clearly, thinking that the owner should be an interesting person, after eating, Su Liang went back to the room, washed up a little, and lay comfortably on the bed, worthy of a big city, the bedding of the inn turned out to be cotton, and there was even a small formation next to the bed, three spirit coins could be heated all day, lying on it was soft and warm, the whole person seemed to be sinking into it, really enjoyed, the fatigue of sleeping in the open for days was greatly relieved in this piece of softness, Su Liang slowly fell asleep.
And Ermao, who left the inn, turned another street and quietly walked into the back door of the idle inn, and the innkeeper was already waiting.
"This girl doesn't look through the inconspicuousness, she is really generous." The innkeeper handed a few spirit coins to Ermao, "Look at the menu without blinking, tsk, thanks to our normal inn, if you encounter some black ones, you won't give her anything to eat and wipe them clean." ”
Ermao counted the spirit coins in his hand, and nodded approvingly, "I guess it's a famous family, I said it was out to play, but it is estimated that I also came to choose a relative for the young city lord who came after a few days, didn't Mr. Storyteller say so, what kind of famous lady pretended to be a poor girl and met Wang Sun Gongzi, and then experienced all kinds of obstacles and perseverance, and finally found out that it was a world friend, and it was logical to be together." ”
The innkeeper couldn't help but stretch out his hand and wanted to give Ermao a brain jumper, "What are you listening to every day?" ”
Ermao hurriedly hugged his head and dodged, and made a grimace at Xiao Er at the inn, "What do I listen to what Mr. Storyteller says, I'll go first, Xiaoman is still waiting for me to go home for dinner, and I'll come back in the afternoon." ”
