Chapter 124: Where to Stay
"Actually, it's not that we don't help us get in, it's that our wife is in retreat, and now it's been six years of retreat, and I don't know when we'll be able to come out!" one of the guards whispered to the Phantom.
The phantom didn't expect to catch up with Han Tianbao's aunt's retreat, this retreat naturally doesn't care about the outside world, let alone the nephew coming, even if his own son dies, he can't be disturbed during the retreat, so it is naturally impossible for these two guards to help them get through.
"What about the city lord?" asked the Phantom again.
"The Demon Lord is no longer in the mansion, it is said that something happened to the Ten Thousand Bones City, and several Demon Lords have gone to the Ten Thousand Bones City, and I don't know when I will be able to come back!" the guard said again.
Ling Jiujiu and the three of them were a little dumbfounded, especially Han Tianbao, he didn't expect to come to his aunt's house, but his aunt and uncle couldn't see him, so what should he do now?
"There is an Aunt Liu Yue next to my aunt, is she there?" asked Han Tianbao busily.
"I've traveled. The guard replied.
"What about Uncle Du Cheng?" asked Han Tianbao again.
"It's a retreat. The guard said again.
"Where's Steward Wang?"
"I sat down last yearγγ"

Han Tianbao asked several acquaintances he knew in a row, but these people were either dead or not at home, and Han Tianbao was completely dumbfounded.
γγγγγγγγγγγγ
As the sun set, the three of Ling Jiujiu sat by the river, silently looking at the thick fog on the river, and the three of them didn't know what to say, let alone what to do.
"Well, it's getting dark, where are we staying at night?" asked the Phantom, finally holding back.
"I, I'm hungry too!" Han Tianbao also whispered.
He hadn't eaten much for a day, and he didn't have Bigu Dan in his pocket, and he had already been pressed to his back by his hungry chest.
"Eat, you know how to eat, it's useless except to eat!" Ling Jiujiu glared at Han Tianbao fiercely.
Han Tianbao shrunk his neck at Ling Jiujiu's glare, he didn't blame him for this, why should he be angry with him!
"Oh, don't be angry, his aunt will come out of the retreat sooner or later, let's find a place to settle down first, and wait slowly!" said the Phantom Gang Han Tianbao in a round game.
"Do you think I don't know how to find a place to stay? The key is that you don't look around, where can we afford to live in the house here? You also went in to ask the price of the restaurant you passed by in the west of the city just now, a plate of fried spirit fern costs ten magic crystals, can we eat it?" Ling Jiujiu said with a cold snort.
It costs money everywhere, and it is his own money, Ling Jiujiu feels that his heart is going to break, and if they go on like this, they will go bankrupt if they can't wait for Han Tianbao's aunt to come out of the customs.
"I have a place to live, but it is possible, it may be broken!" Han Tianbao hurriedly and cautiously said, he understood Ling Jiujiu's temper, if he couldn't think of a way to solve the problem of life, it was very likely that this woman would dismantle his bones and sell him in a fit of anger.
Han Tianbao's so-called place of residence is actually an old house of the Han family, this house was lived by his father and aunt when they were children, and now the house is five or six hundred years old, Han Tianbao doesn't know if this house is still there, but they have no other place to stay now, so they can only go to the old house to have a look.
There is a place to stay, Ling Jiujiu is naturally happy, but when she heard that the house is in Xicheng, her face was dark again, when she came, the boat fare was ninety magic crystals, and when she went back, she asked for ninety magic crystals, and the round-trip fare alone was one hundred and eighty magic crystals, plus the ten yuan for listening to the song, it cost almost two hundred magic crystals to go back and forth.
Now is not the time to settle accounts, even if she is worried about money, she can't help but take this boat.
Ling Jiujiu and the three of them got on the boat again, but this time the rowing person was not the old man, but a middle-aged woman.
Ling Jiujiu felt strange, and the woman smiled and explained to Ling Jiujiu that there was not only one boat on the River Styx, but many, and these boats were all under the management of the city lord's mansion, and they only needed to pay a rent every month, and the rest of the money belonged to these rowers.
"That old man Zhao likes to slander people the most, whoever gets on his boat can't get out without a little blood!" The woman said with a smile again, and then she took out a small card and handed it to Ling Jiujiu and said, "The little woman's surname is Lu, everyone calls me Mrs. Lu, if you want to use the boat in the future, you can use this to call me, I will give you a twenty percent discount, and I guarantee that it is cheaper than others!"
The small card handed over by Lu Niangzi is somewhat similar to a business card, which is the lowest magic weapon, which can be used as a flying pigeon to pass a book, but this business card has Lu Niangzi's name written on it, so it can only be sent to Lu Niangzi.
Ling Jiujiu made this kind of small card when she first started refining, so she was not curious about the card, she just put it away, and then nodded and promised Lu Niangzi, promising that she would only take her boat in the future.
Lu Niangzi was very happy, and the smile on her face never stopped along the way, probably because she noticed that Ling Jiujiu and the three were not from Styx City, so Lu Niangzi said a lot of new things about Styx City, which made Ling Jiujiu have a general understanding of Styx City.
Lu Niangzi deliberately discounted the boat money, and also pointed out the way for Ling Jiujiu, Ling Jiujiu walked for more than half an hour in the direction Lu Niangzi said, and finally found the old mansion that Han Tianbao said in a remote place.
Standing at the door of the house, Han Tianbao rummaged through the Qiankun bag for a long time before finding the key to the house. The so-called key is actually a black jade plaque, and as long as the jade plaque is pasted on the door, the gate will be opened.
The three of them entered the courtyard, although Han Tianbao said that it was dilapidated, but after seeing the old mansion, Ling Jiujiu felt that it was okay, this house was indeed a little old, but it was not broken.
The house is a small courtyard, two floors up and down, there is a tall old locust tree in the yard, and the locust tree planted in the yard is unlucky in the eyes of mortals, but in the eyes of the demon cultivator, the locust tree can condense yin qi, which is conducive to the cultivation of the demon cultivator. That's why most demon cultivators will plant a locust tree or two in their yard.
There are a lot of weeds in the yard, but the house is not dirty because of the dust beads, and the room is full of everything, even the pots and pans in the kitchen.
"I'm going to cook dinner, my craftsmanship is very good!" Han Tianbao volunteered after seeing the kitchen.
"Do you know how to cook?" Phantom didn't expect that Han Tianbao, who had been a young master since he was a child, would be able to cook, which made him impressed.
"Haha, I used to like a girl, that girl's family opened a restaurant, in order to please her, I studied with his chef for a while. Han Tianbao said.
