Chapter 067 Longyang City
Longyang City is the capital of Xipingzhou of Wutang Kingdom, and is an important town of Wutang Kingdom, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and its prosperity is ranked first in Wutang Kingdom.
The city wall of more than three zhang is majestic and tall, although it is night now, but the city wall is brightly lit, soldiers patrol back and forth on the city wall, the guard is tight, and a flying wind flag flutters in the wind on the city tower.
Outside the city wall, there is a moat of more than ten zhang, the moat surrounds the entire city, and Longyang City has four city gates.
At night, the gate of Longyang City is closed, and there is a wide open space outside the city gate, and there are no trees and buildings in the open space.
Longyang City is not a border city, there has been no war in the past hundred years, there are many buildings outside the open space outside the city, and many people live here, all of whom are ordinary people who rely on Longyang City to make a living.
The huge city of Longyang City requires a lot of various resources, and these people outside the city make a living by selling vegetables to work in the city.
The sparsely populated dwellings stretch for miles, more than the average smaller-city dweller.
The dwellings are simple, many of them are very simple adobe houses, but there are many inns and restaurants.
It's night, and it's pitch black with no light in sight.
Ye Xu and the others did not approach Longyang City, they felt the breath of the Longyang City Protector Array, and several people fell in the area outside the West City Gate.
"Why do you look a little heavily guarded here? Is it for us? Ye Xu saw the soldiers at the head of the city, and felt that something was abnormal, there was no war here, so there was no need to be so vigilant.
"It must be the gang of people from Qingxu Mountain who colluded with the officials here and planned to besiege us! We're going to kill those dog officers. Condensation said angrily.
"Not really! What can these soldiers do to us, nothing will happen here! I think it must be the Demon Gate doing something again. Miao Xin retorted that ordinary soldiers were basically of little use to monks.
"Why is the Demon Gate making trouble? Can't it be your Xianmen who is doing something? Condensation and Miaoxin began to talk about it.
"Don't make any noise, let's just go and ask someone?" Ye Xu also felt that Qingxu Mountain would not find these mortal soldiers to deal with him, it was really unnecessary, maybe something really happened here.
"Where to find someone! I slept in the middle of the night, I was so sleepy! Zi Ying grabbed Ye Xu's arm, and her eyelids had already begun to fight.
"Otherwise, if I go to the city to investigate, that formation should be useless to me!" Xiang Wenjun said.
"Forget it! Let's go find an inn and rest first! Seeing that Zi Ying couldn't open her eyes, Ye Xu planned to find a place to live first.
"There are almost no inns open in the middle of the night, it's okay in the city, it's difficult here, usually the hacker house is closed every day, and now something is happening here, I'm afraid we won't open the door." Miao Xin said.
This is not Blue Star, there is a lot of nightlife in Blue Star, but here at night people stay at home, nothing to do and hardly go out, mainly because it is not safe to go out.
"Look for it! Without us, we were out and dealing with it for a night. "Several of them are monks, and it's fine to sleep outside.
Ye Xu carried Zi Ying on his back, and now Zi Ying had fallen asleep by Ye Xu, and several people circled around the outside of the city, not to mention, let them really find an inn, which was on the edge of the east of the city.
The inn was small, and there was a lantern hanging at the door, and the door was not closed, and a strong man was seen sitting at the counter yawning from the outside.
"Let's cover it up a little, especially Miaoxin, change your clothes, don't let people see that you are a monk, in case Qingxushan is really prepared, Miaoxin you are too conspicuous." Ye Xu asked Miaoxin to change her dress, a bald little nun was too dazzling, as long as others saw it, she was absolutely impressed, in case Qingxu Mountain really had any preparations, she would know that they were coming.
Miaoxin turned around and changed her style, her hair grew out, she wore ordinary clothes, and her appearance also changed a little, looking like an ordinary girl.
Condensation Yan saw Miaoxin's shape, her mouth opened wide, she didn't expect the little nun to have this ability.
Ye Xu also changed her clothes, she looked like an ordinary young man, Condensing Yan also showed her skills, and became a middle-aged woman, her appearance changed greatly, Xiang Wenjun was the simplest, she directly hid her figure, this is her ghost talent.
A few people walked into the inn, the strong man in the inn saw that there were guests coming, and immediately stood up happily, his inn is very small, compared with other inns, there is no advantage, that is, it opens late at night, although there are few guests at night, but he can also catch a few, he relies on this to maintain the inn.
"How many people live in the hotel?" Looking at a few people in front of him, the strong man was very enthusiastic, he knew at a glance that this was a family of four, three generations of grandparents, Xiang Wenjun He couldn't see it, as for why he came to stay in the hotel so late, he didn't care, he just lived on these people.
"Boss, I didn't expect your inn to be open, we thought we were going to sleep in the wild." Ye Xu said very honestly.
"Haha, there is only one in the entire Longyang City, and our inn is open for guests like you." The strong man boss said with a smile.
"That's a good feeling!"
"But a few, the ugly words are ahead, our inn closes late, and the fee is a little expensive." The strong man boss rubbed his hands and said.
"Understood!" Ye Xu immediately understood what the boss meant, no matter how expensive the hotel was, it wouldn't be expensive, his current net worth didn't care about this at all, and other inns relied on this to make money.
"How many rooms do you want?" The boss hopes that Ye Xu and the others will have two more rooms, so that he can close the door and rest, and today's business task will be completed.
"Two rooms!" Ye Xu didn't ask for much, and it looked a little dazzling if he wanted more.
"Ten taels of silver for two rooms! Pay the money first and then check in, including breakfast tomorrow. The strong man looked at Ye Xu and the others were dressed well, and the price was a bit high.
The main currency in circulation among the people of Changfeng Continent is silver, because this is the world of cultivating immortals, compared to the ancient times of Blue Star, the life of the common people here is much better, although it is also squeezed by the rich and the government, but it is relatively easy to survive.
Ten taels of silver to stay in an inn for one night is expensive, if it is nothing in the city, but this is outside the city, plus this inn is a little broken, it is a bit too much to ask for ten taels of silver, but because it is open at night, the price is also reasonable.
Ye Xu and the others don't know much about prices, Ye Xu hasn't been here for a long time, he has a lot of gold, silver and spirit coins on him, the identities of Miaoxin and Condensation Smoke are there, they don't understand these things, Ziying is even more powerful.
Ye Xu gave the boss ten taels of silver, and the strong boss's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect these few people to come without a counteroffer, and he smiled even more earnestly when he looked at a few people.
The strong man led the group upstairs, opened the doors of the two rooms, and left.
"The two of you are in one room, Miss Ziying Wenjun follows me!" Ye Xu said to Miaoxin and Condensing Smoke.
"Huh? Ziying is so young, little brother Ye Xu asked me to warm your bed! Condensation whispered.
"What do you think! Either you or I'll have one! Ye Xu was full of black lines, and he wanted to beat up the condensation smoke.
"Alright then!" Condensation Smoke smiled, turned and walked to a room.
Miao Xin pursed her lips and walked in.
Ye Xu walked into another room, put Ziying on the bed, and covered the quilt.
He sat directly on the chair and began to cultivate, since the bronze coffin did not give him an upgrade, he has also been cultivating at night, and cultivation can also replenish his mental and physical strength.
Xiang Wenjun also began to cultivate, and she wanted to continue to study the disc.
There was no word all night, and in the morning Ye Xu was woken up by Ziying.
"Big brother, how did you become like this?" Zi Ying sat opposite Ye Xu and looked at Ye Xu curiously.
Ye Xu told Ziying about the disguise, Ziying was very excited after hearing it, and she also planned to play cross-dressing, but she was a child, and she could become too little, so she finally changed into a slightly ordinary dress.
"Grandma, get up!" Zi Ying ran directly to the other room and called the door, she knew that the condensation smoke turned into a middle-aged woman, she thought it was funny.
"Ziying, what are you shouting?" Condensation opened the door and pulled Ziying inside.
"Hahaha!" Seeing the condensation smoke and Miaoxin's appearance, Ziying was very happy, she found something fun.
Several people went downstairs and prepared to leave, but were stopped by the enthusiastic strong boss.
"Guys, let's provide a free breakfast!" For the generous tenants, the boss was very enthusiastic and invited a few people to breakfast.
Breakfast is simple, a few plates of pickles, a bowl of porridge, and a flatbread.
Ye Xu had no resistance to this kind of food, Zi Ying felt very fresh, and devoured it, Miaoxin was used to eating this kind of light meal, only the condensation smoke frowned a little, as the eldest lady of the Heavenly Demon Sect, where had she ever eaten such a meal, but she could only eat it along.
Xiang Wenjun doesn't need to eat as a ghost, and now after refining the disc, she can ignore the sunlight, but during the day she has always been invisible, sitting on the side and watching everyone eat.
In addition to Ye Xu, there were also a few tenants, all of whom dined together.
"I heard there's an accident in the city!" One of the tenants and his companions talked while eating.
"Yes! I heard that the city was on heightened alert, but I didn't know what was going on. Another said.
"Who knows what's going on?" Other tenants chimed in when they heard this, and everyone liked to gossip.
"I don't know! It's just that I heard that there are soldiers patrolling the city now, and we don't know what the specific thing is! Someone said.
Everyone is talking about what is happening in the city.
"I know a little bit about that!" Hearing the topic of the tenants' discussion, the strong boss came to the spirit and brought a large bowl to a table.
"Boss, do you know what's going on? Tell us about it! Everyone came to their senses when they heard this, and they all looked at the boss.
The strong boss liked the feeling of being noticed, cleared his throat, picked up a big bowl and took a sip of porridge.
"Ahem! You really asked the right person about this, my father-in-law's good brother is on an errand in the city, I heard him say ah! Something happened in town. The boss said slowly.
"What's wrong?" The tenants are all looking at the boss with long necks.
"It is said that man-eating demons have appeared in the city, and many people have disappeared!" The boss took another sip of porridge and said.
"Cannibalism? Could it be that the Demon Gate came out to make trouble? One tenant asked.
"I've heard that even those immortals can't find out the reason this time, and I've heard about it! This time it's weird! ”
"How weird?" The tenants asked, looking surprised.
"Then let me tell you, it's all secret, you can't hear it anywhere else!" The boss pretended to be mysterious.
