Outside the bamboo building, the young man tied the door lock, and glanced at the door frame of the bamboo building, the Spring Festival couplets pasted during the New Year, "The years are prosperous; ”

This was written by Lin Xuan's little girl herself, and Liu Pingsan was grinding ink for her on the side.

At that time, the young man felt that Lin Xuan's sister's handwriting was really good-looking, better than what the teacher in Taoping Town had written before, but when Liu Pingsan thought of Taoping Town, the young man's heart was a little sad.

Liu Pingsan took one last look at the bamboo building, turned around, and strode down the mountain, ready to see the place where he had been away for more than half a year, Taoping Town.

Rushing in the mountains and forests is really a normal thing for Liu Pingsan.

He took out a map from his arms, flipped to the marked place and looked at it, this was given to him by Lin Xuan's sister before, and also marked the route from the bamboo building to Taoping Town for him.

After roughly determining the direction, Liu Pingsan put away the map and walked in one direction.

After walking on the mountain road for about five or six days, Liu Pingsan finally saw a human town, and there were three big characters written on the city gate: "Qingrui City".

The boy looked at the big city from afar, and his heart was shocked.

I didn't expect Qingrui City, which was a small point in size on the map, to be so magnificent in reality, and the city wall alone was estimated to be dozens of meters high, Liu Pingsan thought to himself.

When approaching the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city signaled Liu Pingsan to put his hand on a large stone pillar, only to see that when Liu Pingsan put his hand up, a faint yellow light lit up at the place where his hand touched the stone pillar.

Seeing the light, the soldier glanced up at Liu Pingsan, smiled at him kindly, and then said to his companion who was sitting next to him with a pen to record: "Human cultivator, Huang Zhenjing. ”

After doing all this, the soldier took out a bronze medal, handed it to Liu Pingsan, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Little brother, you take this token well, if you meet a patrolling soldier in the city, you can take out this token and show it to them, it can save you a lot of trouble, if you go to an inn opened by ordinary people to stay, you can also save some silver taels with this token." ”

Liu Pingsan will never ignore the kindness of others, so he also smiled and said, "Okay, thank you big brother, I will remember what you said." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome, little brother walk slowly. ”

Liu Pingsan nodded, turned around and walked towards the city.

Seeing Liu Pingsan's back gradually disappear at the gate of the city, the soldier who spoke to Liu Pingsan just now patted his companion's shoulder and said with a smile: "That little brother, it seems that he should be a loose cultivator." ”

The latter asked suspiciously, "Wang Ji, how do you see it?"

The soldier guarding the city, who was called Wang Ji by his companions, explained: "Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run? Although I am not a cultivator myself, I have really seen a lot, have you seen a person who came out of the big sect is not arrogant, and can still talk to us ordinary people in a friendly manner?"

"That's true, but those loose cultivators probably rarely have this young man who is so easy to talk to, right?"

"Whatever, let's meet with others, it's just a meeting in Pingshui. Anyway, I think that young man is good, and I really hope that there will be more such people in this world, so as not to treat us ordinary people as people. ”

"Wang Ji, you should pay more attention to what you say, but don't forget that it is on the city tower behind us, but there are real immortals......"

"Well, I know, I'll just say it casually."

It's just that Liu Pingsan, who had already walked to the city gate at this time, didn't hear what the two people behind him said.

Liu Pingsan picked up the token and looked at it carefully, only to see that the token was engraved with the word "Hemeng" in the middle, and there were two small characters "Qingrui" in the lower left corner.

Although Liu Pingsan didn't ask the two soldiers in detail before, he could roughly guess the function of this token, first, it was a symbol of the identity of a cultivator, and second, it should be to facilitate the management of the city.

Liu Pingsan turned around and glanced at the city tower, and thought to himself: "Sure enough, the outside world is just like what Grandpa Lin said, it's not that simple. ”

Although the two soldiers guarding the city just now were just ordinary people, when Liu Pingsan passed through the city gate, he still felt a faint coercion coming down from above the city tower.

Liu Pingsan remembered that Grandpa Lin had told him before, whether it was passing through the human city or being a guest in someone else's sect, he should not easily use his divine sense to explore the surrounding environment, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the owner of the place, and he resisted the urge to use his divine sense to investigate.

Seeing that it was getting late at this time, Liu Pingsan was ready to find an inn to rest for the night, just so many days he had been in the wilderness, and he didn't dare to sleep too hard at night, he really needed to repair well.

When Liu Pingsan was wandering around aimlessly, about to find an inn, a woman who looked to be about thirty or forty years old walked up to Liu Pingsan and said with a smile: "This little brother, are you looking for a place to stay?"

Liu Pingsan, who was not in the deep world, didn't think much about it, so he said: "Yes, auntie." ”

"Oh, little brother, do I look that old?" the woman glanced at Liu Pingsan with a little disgust and said with a smile.

Liu Pingsan smiled and scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.

"But ah, if the little brother lives in the hotel, looking for me can be regarded as finding the right person, our family is dedicated to opening an inn, more than a hundred years old, the room is cheap and affordable, how about it?"

Liu Pingsan didn't have any ideas at this time, so he nodded.

The woman asked Liu Pingsan to follow her, all the way through the streets and alleys, and finally turned into a small alley.

At the end of that, Liu Pingsan saw a small inn that was only two stories high, which looked very old from the outside, and the location of this small inn was already a short distance from the center of the city, Liu Pingsan couldn't help frowning.

But when Liu Pingsan walked into the inn under the leadership of that woman, and looked at the inside of the inn, he was quite satisfied.

After all, this place, although it looks old on the outside, is quite tidy inside, and it seems that the owner of this shop should also be a person who loves cleanliness.

Hearing the sound of talking from the door, a lame man walked out of the inn, walked up to Liu Pingsan, bent down slightly, and said with a smile: "Little brother, are you here to stay in the hotel?"

The woman explained, "This is my man. ”

Liu Pingsan nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

The man saw that Liu Pingsan's afterglow was looking at the inn, and said a little embarrassed: "Little brother, we don't have a big place here, the environment is not too good, and the rooms are almost the same, there is nothing to choose, two taels of silver a night, there are four houses in the west, if you want to live, just pick one." ”

The woman laughed and scolded on the side: "Okay, you are a lame man, it's like this when you go back, the old lady finally brought back a guest, do you have such a business? I want the old lady to marry you, but it really has been eight lifetimes of mold." ”

The man smiled innocently and said, "We can't lie to people, no." ”

Liu Pingsan interjected on the side: "It's okay, it's okay, I just like this uncle's character, I think the environment here is very good, I'm not a particular person, just choose one." ”

The man agreed, and then shouted to the back of the store: "Second baby, come out and take the guests to choose a room." ”

As soon as the words fell, a child's immature voice came out of the back room, and then Liu Pingsan saw a little boy coming out of the back room, looking a little fat, white and clean.

The second baby took the lantern handed to him by his father, and walked upstairs with Liu Pingsan, chattering with Liu Pingsan all the way.

As for the woman, she glanced at Liu Pingsan who was walking upstairs, then glanced at her husband, turned around and walked towards the outside of the inn, obviously trying to take advantage of the fact that it was still early to attract a few more guests.
