Chapter 47: VIP Treatment [Ask for Collection]
As he got closer and closer to the city that never sleeps, Zhang Changkong could already clearly see the ice-carved city, full of lights, so lively.
It's completely carnival-like, and it doesn't look like a fake.
Along the way, I only felt that the entire Night Field was desolate and uninhabited, and when I arrived at the city, I realized that the City That Never Sleeps was not the wild place I imagined.
Zhang Changkong and the others fell down and walked towards the city gate.
I saw that there were two passages at the gate of the city, one passage was unguarded, allowing pedestrians to enter and exit freely, and the other passage was guarded by two white-robed monks, who were checking the documents of the group.
There were one man and three women in that group, and their outfits were slightly different from those of Yingzhou, with narrow sleeves and wide clothes, and they didn't cover their knees.
"Well, it turned out to be a distinguished guest from overseas. Is there an invitation?" the white-robed monk greeted the distinguished guests respectfully.
The man didn't answer, but took out an invitation and handed it over.
The white-robed monk looked at it, and suddenly his waist bowed lower, and then he raised his hand back, and a black-clothed waiter greeted him, beckoned the group to sit on the golden snow, and walked away.
The little junior sister looked at it in a daze, and pulled the senior brother to walk towards the unguarded passage.
"Wait!" Zhang Changkong paused for a moment and walked towards the white-robed monk.
"Hey, senior brother, we don't have an invitation...... "The little junior sister hurriedly followed and whispered.
"Just come with me, we have it. Zhang Changkong gave the little junior sister a comforting look.
Senior brother has always acted unexpectedly, since he said that there must be, the little junior sister obediently followed.
When he came closer, without waiting for the white-robed monk to stretch out his hand, Zhang Changkong handed over the invitation.
The little junior sister showed a surprised look, this senior brother actually had an invitation, why hadn't he mentioned it before.
"It turned out to be the high deacon of Haiyuan, I didn't expect such a young ......" The white-robed monk handed back the invitation, and a black-clothed waiter came up to wait.
"Please!" the black-clad waiter bowed and led the two to a snow.
The two of them got on the snow chariot, and when they didn't walk for a long time, they came to an ice sculpture castle with four big characters written on the nightyard inn, which should be the official place of the city that never sleeps to entertain distinguished guests.
The black-clothed waiter respectfully led the two to a guest room, and the little junior sister touched the wall, but did not feel the cold, and couldn't help smacking her tongue: "This castle is not made of ice." Is it crystal?"
"Of course not. If such a large guest house was made of crystal, it would be too expensive. This is by adding something called warm fluorite to the ice, which can not only keep it translucent, but also increase the temperature of the ice wall without being too cold. The black-clothed waiter smiled and wanted to retreat.
"Wait. Zhang Changkong thought of the night of the full moon, and hurriedly stopped him and asked, "This is the first time we have participated in the grand event of the city that never sleeps, and we don't know the process yet, so please tell me about it." ”
"Carnival at night, naturally based on carnival, there are no big rules, as long as you bring enough chips.
The link is naturally the highlight of the nightless store on the last day, and someone will come to inform the two of them at that time.
Until then, you two can do your own thing.
Since this is the first time to visit the city that never sleeps, I suggest you go out and take a stroll, the city that never sleeps is still worth visiting, especially the ghost market. ”
"Ghost market?" the little junior sister was stunned.
"Well, girl, don't you know, the ghost market is the largest trading market in the city that never sleeps, and all kinds of cultivation resources and magic weapons can basically be found there.
Now that it is time to catch up with the five-year nightless carnival, many people come early, even two or three months in advance.
Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to participate in the nightshop, but if you visit the ghost market, you may be able to find what you are looking for. ”
"That's right...... Why is it called a ghost market? Other cities become ghost markets before dawn, but once they enter the night plain, there is no day and night, so why are there ghost markets?"
"The ghost market has a long history, it is said that at first there was only night in the night and no day, and then after the night plain immortal sect moved into the night plain, the night plain became only day and no night, and at the same time built the city that never sleeps. It's just that the name of the ghost city has not been changed and has been used. ”
"In that case, what about the full moon night?" Zhang Changkong threw out his biggest doubt.
"You'll know when the time comes. ”
The black-clothed waiter smiled and closed the door with a resignation.
"Actually still remain mysterious?" Zhang Changkong muttered, and the doubts in his heart became even heavier.
When the little junior sister saw the black-clothed waiter leaving, she immediately asked, "Senior brother, where did you get the invitation?"
"I picked it up. ”
Zhang Changkong replied casually, but it was indeed picked up, and it was not a lie to her.
"You've been with me all along, when did you pick it up, why don't I know......?
No one believes the truth these days......
"Okay, let's rest for a while, and then we'll go to the ghost market. Listening to what the waiter said so well, I was also a little tempted. ”
After Zhang Changkong finished speaking, he found that there was only one bed in the room.
The little junior sister also found out about this problem, and she was embarrassed for a while.
"This, this, why is there only one bed? Little junior sister, if you don't sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the ground......"
"How can you sleep on the ground, it's so cold!Senior brother, why don't you squeeze it......" After the little junior sister finished speaking, she also felt embarrassed, and suddenly blushed.
hurriedly added: "I don't have to sleep much anyway......"
"Then let's practice together!" Zhang Changkong blurted out.
"Who is double cultivating with you......" The little junior sister's face turned even redder, and she was flushed.
"I mean meditate. Zhang Changkong swallowed his saliva, feeling a little embarrassed, "I'm still meditating on the ground, don't worry about the cold ......"
In less than half a day, the two of them were already in good spirits, and they asked the housekeeper about the path of the ghost market, left the castle, and ran straight to the ghost market.
The ghost market is in the west of the city, only a few dozen miles away from the guest house, which is not far.
The roads in the city that never sleeps are wide and clean, paved with ice, and carved with moire on them.
On the one hand, it is for the sake of aesthetics, and on the other hand, it is also for the sake of anti-slip.
It's just that the moire pattern is slightly different from what I've seen before, more like some kind of dragon pattern.
There are various shops, restaurants, and inns on both sides of the road, all of which are beautiful ice sculpture houses.
Here, there may be a shortage of other masonry log materials, but the least lacking is ice, ice and snow everywhere, and you can take it at will.
The store is even more crowded, and who wants to miss the nightless event that only opens once in five years......
After about half an hour, the two of them could already see the gatehouse of the ghost market, with red lanterns and red silk hanging on it, which looked very festive.
At the gate of the ghost market, there are some brokers squatting, and as long as they see people coming, they will hula and surround them.
It's kind of like ...... Tour guide for tourist attractions.
I saw a broad-faced man who was closest to them, shouting at them.
"Two sons, I, Li Dazui, have been in the city that never sleeps for hundreds of years, and I am most familiar with this area of the ghost market. You're looking for me!
As long as it's what you're looking for, there's nothing I can't find!"
