Chapter 117: Jiang Xiaobai
The peddler showed his little white teeth and said with a smile: "This immortal master, our Black Panther City is actually divided into the inner city and the outer city, the outer city is inhabited by us mortals, and the inner city is the area where all the immortal masters live!"
Lu Jian suddenly realized: "But I see!"
The peddler's eyes rolled, and he said to Lu Zhu: "Black Panther City is very big, and the immortal master has just arrived, I wonder if the immortal master wants to hire a tour guide?"
Lu Jian felt that this vendor was very clever, and he happened to be unfamiliar with his life and needed a tour guide, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can be my tour guide!"
The peddler's eyes lit up and said: "Great, Lord Immortal Master really has vision, I, Jiang Xiaobai, have lived in this Black Panther City for more than ten years, and it is quite familiar!"
After speaking, he looked at Lu Jian again and stopped talking.
Lu Jian was stunned for a moment, and then said that he was asking about the reward.
Lu Jian smiled slightly, took out a gold leaf from his arms and handed it to the hawker Jiang Xiaobai and said, "Is this money enough to hire you for two days?"
Jiang Xiaobai was overjoyed, took the golden leaf and bowed to Lu Jian and said, "It's enough, it's enough, Lord Immortal, I promise to satisfy you, the money is not spent in vain!"
As he spoke, he carried the haystack full of sugar gourds on his shoulders.
He looked at Lu Jian again, pulled out a string of sugar gourds with his backhand and handed it to Lu Press.
"Immortal Master, try my sugar gourd, sweet and sour!"
Seeing that Lu Jian was a little hesitant, he said generously: "Don't worry, don't want money!"
Lu Jian laughed, took the sugar gourd and took a bite.
Lu Jian is actually not much older than Jiang Xiaobai, and the young man is also very full-hearted, eating sugar gourds, he feels a sense of satisfaction!
It's so sweet! When I was a child, I wanted to eat food that I couldn't afford!
Jiang Xiaobai saw that Lu Jian was happy, and he also said happily: "Immortal Master, Black Panther City is very, very large, divided into nine districts, four inside and five outside。。。。。。 ”
While the two were walking, Jiang Xiaobai introduced Lu Pressure.
Through Jiang Xiaobai's introduction, Lu Jian also has a general understanding of the city.
The city lord of Black Panther City is Zhao Gongming, one of the five supreme gods on this continent, known as Marshal Zhao Gongming.
He lives on the top floor of the Tower in the center of the inner city, and almost no one has ever seen him. Just know his legends!
In the middle of the Wangtian Tower, the actual manager of the Black Panther City who lives is the four god generals of Marshal Zhao Gong's throne, wine, color, wealth, and qi.
The inner city was full of cultivators, and mortals were not allowed to enter, so Jiang Xiaobai only knew some rumors.
The outer five districts are respectively in charge of the five old stars assigned by the inner city.
Outside the city, Jiang Xiaobai has shown his super gossip ability, and there is almost nothing in the parents who don't know about the short, big and small things.
Lu Jian felt that this kid was a bit condescending to be a tour guide, but he was very qualified to be a spy agent.
Black Panther City is so big that the two of them turned around for a day, and they only walked through a district of the outer city.
Lu Jian saw that it was getting late, so he asked Jiang Xiaobai to find him a place to live first.
Jiang Xiaobai took him to an inn with great skill, he pointed to the signboard of the inn and said: "Immortal Master, this Wanqing Inn is the most reasonable and best service inn in this area, you can rest assured that you can stay!"
After speaking, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes gurgled and turned.
Lu Jian got along with him for a day, and he knew this guy's temperament, so he smiled and beckoned: "Have a meal together, you go home again!"
Jiang Xiaobai immediately helped Lu Lu open the curtain of the inn with a smile on his face, and shouted loudly inside: "Big boss, there are guests!"
Lu Jian entered the inn with a smile, and saw that there were not many people in the inn, but it was clean and tidy, and there were no guest tables, all of which were polished, and he nodded secretly in his heart.
A chubby man dressed as a shopkeeper greeted him, and first smiled at Jiang Xiaobai: "Brother Xiaobai, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you still so dark!"
Then he ignored Jiang Xiaobai, who was pouting, and smiled at the landing pressure: "This guest officer, are you eating or staying in a hotel!"
Lu Jian smiled: "Eat something first, and then stay in the hotel!"
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly shouted to the fat shopkeeper: "Lao Wan, you bring your family's good wine and food, this master is an immortal master, if you are neglected, you will be miserable!"
The fat shopkeeper was shocked, looked at Lu Press, and hurriedly saluted again: "I don't know that the Immortal Master is here, it's rude!"
He turned his head to Jiang Xiaobai and whispered, "Why don't you let the Immortal Master go to the inner city and bring it to me?"
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Look at your timid appearance, you really don't follow me, this immortal master is here for the first time, and the adult is very easy-going, I don't want the adult to spend some unjust money, live here for a few days first, and after getting acquainted with it, I will talk about it!"
The fat shopkeeper nodded.
Then, he asked Lu Jian and the two to sit down, and quickly asked the back kitchen to cook.
Lu Jian looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked, "Listen to what you mean, food and accommodation in this inner city are very expensive, right?"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said: "That's quite expensive, although I haven't been in, but according to the black head who sent supplies inside, everything in there is more than several times more expensive than outside, and if you have hot noodle soup one night, I dare to ask you for a gold leaf!
Lu Jian took a sip of tea, thought for a while and asked, "Is it an immortal master or a mortal who is doing business there?"
Jiang Xiaobai scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I don't know about this, it stands to reason that it should be an immortal master, because, except for mortals who have a special waist card to send supplies, it is almost impossible for mortals in the inner city to enter!"
Lu Jian knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he didn't ask anymore.
Under the urging of Jiang Xiaobai constantly tapping the table with chopsticks, the wine and food were quickly served.
In fact, since he entered the Spirit Courtyard realm, Lu Quan's demand for food was basically gone, as long as the spiritual energy was sufficient, not eating or drinking would have no effect on him.
But just as Lu Jian likes to nibble on sweet potatoes, he still likes to keep these mortal habits, feeling that it can bring him psychological comfort and peace.
Under Lu Quan's signal, Jiang Xiaobai buried his head in eating and drinking.
Lu Jian gently picked up a mouthful of food and chewed it slowly in his mouth.
The fragrance of green vegetables flipped with the tip of the tongue, reminding Lu Jian of the taste of his hometown.
Jiang Xiaobai ate most of the food on the table, and when he wiped his mouth and raised his head, he felt a little embarrassed.
Lu Jian thought he was very interesting.
Jiang Xiaobai asked Lu Quandao: "Immortal Master, where are we going tomorrow, do you have anything special that you need to know?"
Lu Jian thought for a while and said, "I want to go to the closest place to the inner city!"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "Well, no problem, early tomorrow morning, I'll come over and take the Immortal Master to see the Tianbo Mansion of the Five Old Stars!"
After Jiang Xiaobai left, Lu Press, under the guidance of the fat shopkeeper, lived in the Tianzi number upstairs.
Lying on the mattress with a faint fragrance, Lu Jian suddenly didn't want to cultivate today.
He didn't deliberately let go of his senses, but he could hear voices far, far away.
The noise of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law next door, the cry of the children in the back street, the sound of a cat stepping on the eaves, and the wheezing of the daughter-in-law all came into Lu Quan's ears, so clearly.
"Cultivation is not to be cut off from the mortal world, but to be mortal! I should take a different path of cultivation!"
Thinking about the questions he had discussed with Daoist Xingchen, Lu Jian fell into a deep sleep.
At this time, a little bit of dust and mist that could not be seen by the naked eye floated from all over the house from the surrounding area, drifted to Lu Quan's side, and entered his body with his breath and breath.
Early the next morning, Jiang Xiaobai sat downstairs and waited for the landing pressure.
After the land pressure was cleaned, he came down to look for him.
After a good night's sleep, Lu Jian felt that his cultivation had improved again.
Jiang Xiaobai led the landing pressure and walked towards the inner city.
Along the way, Jiang Xiaobai pointed out all kinds of residences, shops, and occasionally the landscape, so he explained.
For example, in a square paved with smooth bluestone, there is a huge axe, which is stained with patina, and half of the axe blade is stuck into the ground.
Jiang Xiaobai pointed to the giant axe and said, "This giant axe is said to be a weapon left behind when the giant ape was killed during the beast tide. ”
Lu Jian asked suspiciously, "Beast tide?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: " Thousands of miles away in the north of the Black Panther City, there is a deep forest in the dark night, it is said that hundreds of years ago, there were countless monsters there, a certain year, those monsters for some reason seemed to go crazy, and collectively flocked to the Black Panther City, so, in this Black Panther City, between the immortals and the monsters, there was an unusually tragic battle, that battle, it is said that it lasted for a month, and later, under the leadership of the Heavenly Master, most of the monsters were finally killed and injured, and since then, no monsters have appeared, however, the battle made the cultivators also suffer a lot of vitality, and in the Black Panther City, it was almost destroyed。 ”
Speaking of the battle a hundred years ago, Jiang Xiaobai was a little proud and a little afraid. It must have been a tragic scene of that year, which has been passed on from generation to generation.
Sure enough, along the way, the closer you get to the inner city, the more relics of this ancient battlefield will be.
Lu Jian even saw a copper spear dozens of feet high, straight into the ground, the blood groove of the gun heads of those few people was still dark red, I don't know how much blood stained back then, it will not be dispersed for a hundred years.
Lu Jian looked at these ruins and was also shocked by the battle back then.
In the imagination, monsters dozens of feet high, holding spears and giant axes in their hands, dance ferociously in human cities.
In my ears, I still seem to be able to hear the heavy wheezing sound, the sound of killing me, and the screams of all kinds of knives and axes entering my body.
Just when Lu Jian was a little distracted, he heard Jiang Xiaobai say: "Immortal Master, look, in front of you is Lord Tianbo's Tianbo Mansion!"
Lu Jian looked up and saw that at the intersection of several avenues, a two-story tall building, like a black box left by a giant, lay there.
Yes, the building is weird, like a chest with a lid, with a semi-dome roof.
There is no gate in the boxy area below.
There was only a place that resembled a lockhole for a chest, and there was a circular hole in the middle of the building, a few feet above the ground, but it was so huge.
This is Tianbo Mansion?
