Three hundred miles to the north of the mountain, there is a city named Yueling.

Yueling City is not big, but it is the only city that Lu Chen knows. The villagers in the mountains make a living by hunting, skinning and removing bones, and after drying the fur and bones, someone will send them to the city to sell, or exchange them for some firewood, rice, oil and salt. In the past three years, Lu Chen has been to Yueling City twice with his father, and he is not familiar with it, but he also has some knowledge.

He escaped from the mountains and traveled for ten days before finally arriving at Yueling City.

After paying a certain fee to enter the city, Lu Chen didn't have much money left. His mother was in such a hurry to pack his clothes that she only had time to bring a little bit of silver, not to mention lodging, and even eating was not enough. In addition, he has not yet lost the broken knife.

Coming from the mountains, he only knew the road, and did not dare to walk around, for fear that he would not go out of the mountains much, and he would lose his direction, so he has not been able to find a suitable place to drop this demonic broken knife. and feared that he would harm others, so he kept it with him.

The broken knife had already reined in all its breath, and it was no different from a mortal thing, and it was ridiculed by the guards when it entered the city.

Lu Chen didn't dare to make trouble here, so he could only endure it, and when he was able to enter the city, he hid the broken knife in the package, but he began to worry about eating again.

On the way here, he had eaten all the jerky prepared by his mother, and now he had not eaten for more than two days, and had only drunk some river water by the roadside. I have less money, and I don't know what to do for a while.

The street is wide, there are many shops on both sides, and the occasional smell of food makes Lu Chen feel more and more hungry. He stopped on the side of the road for a moment, staring at the steamed bun stall not far away, and finally relentlessly, took out all the remaining pieces of silver on his body, and bought three meat buns to devour.

"Why is the little brother so embarrassed, looking at you, it looks like you came out of the mountains, and you can't even eat?"

The owner of the bun stall was an old man with mottled hair, and when he saw Lu Chen's appearance, he couldn't bear it, so he gave him another bun.

Lu Chen's eyes lit up, he thanked him again and again, and stuffed the bun into his mouth.

"There are mountains on the east and west sides of Yueling Castle, and it is common to see some people from the village who come here to buy and sell goods. You baby, you don't look like it, you can't be homeless, right?"

The owner of the bun stall saw that there was no business, so he talked to Lu Chen.

"Hmm... Be. ”

Lu Chen didn't dare to tell his origins, for fear that someone would know about him. If you accidentally leak the news, you can't say that you won't be able to stay in this Yueling City.

"Seeing that you are young and a little pitiful, I will show you a way to live. ”

The boss smiled and pointed straight down the street.

"When you walk forward from here, the highest palace you see is Guanyun Tower. This Guanyun Building is a restaurant under the Liangyi Gate of the Gate of the Gate here, and now there are not enough people, and they are recruiting workers, and they are eating and living, and they give a lot of money. Moreover, the person in charge of this Guanyun Building is said to be a foreign affairs elder in the Liangyi Gate, if she can be appreciated, it will naturally have your benefits, and you may not be able to enter the Liangyi Gate as a monk. ”

When Lu Chen heard this, his heart moved.

He has no money on him, and if he wants to live in this world, money is indispensable. If you don't have money, eating and sleeping are all problems. As the boss said, if Guanyunlou really manages to eat and live, it is also a good place to go.

"Okay, thank you boss, I'll go and have a look. ”

Lu Chen thanked him and wanted to take some objects as a thank you gift, but the movements in his hands quickly froze in the air.

When the boss saw his embarrassed appearance, he immediately waved his hand and laughed.

"Thank you for not needing, not to mention that my old bones don't have any pursuits, if you want to stay here for a long time, you can take care of my business when you have the opportunity. ”

Lu Chen was grateful, and hurriedly responded, said goodbye to the boss, and walked along the street to find the location of Guanyun Tower.

When he didn't walk for a long time, the palace pavilion of the cloud tower that the boss said appeared in front of him.

This palace is full of vermilion lacquer and green tiles, magnificent, and there are water pavilions and pavilions blooming, a piece of jewelry. As far as the eye can see, there are clouds and mist between the pavilions of the palace, covering half of the cloud viewing building. Presumably, you can really see the sea of clouds churning on it, and it is a famous cloud building.

"It's amazing..."

Lu Chen was stunned, and it took a long time to finally come back to his senses, and he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

In front of this Guanyun Building, very few people enter and exit, and you don't have to think about it to know that it is expensive and not ordinary people can enjoy it. Just waiting for a while, Lu Chen found that most of the people who entered and exited it were real monks, and even existences with a vast aura like an abyss, like him, he didn't even have the qualifications to look up.

"The boss said that he was working here to eat and live, could it be to eat and drink jade liquid and live in this palace in the clouds?"

Lu Chen grinned, yearning in his heart, and rushed to the door with a few steps.

There was a guard in front of the door, and when he saw that a child in sackcloth like Lu Chen was approaching, and he didn't have much cultivation, he stopped him directly.

"You kid, you dare to come in dressed like this? The consumption here is very high, can you afford to eat?"

The guard smiled and blocked in front of Lu Chen, and there were people coming in and out on the side, and when their eyes swept over Lu Chen, they all looked with disdain.

"I don't eat, I just heard that you guys are looking for workers here, and I don't have a place to go, so I want to try it. ”

Lu Chen was not annoyed, he knew that he had no capital to be proud of himself in this place. There is a saying in the arrogant inheritance, the proud, when self-improvement and pride. If the cultivation is not enough, the strength is not enough, there is no reason to be proud, you can only be honest, otherwise you will not be able to say that some people will not be used to it, and you will slap it to death with one palm.

When the guard heard this, he looked at Lu Chen unexpectedly, only to see that the coarse linen clothes on his body were damaged in many places, and his body was not very clean, and he was very embarrassed.

"Okay, come with me, and I'll take you to the steward. ”

He nodded, and led Lu Chen to enter through the side door on one side, not passing through the lobby, but through the kitchen door, all the way to the backyard of Guanyun Building before stopping. But there is no way forward in front of him.

"Lord Steward, this person wants to come to Guanyun Tower to work. The man had already brought it, so I went back and kept guard at the door. ”

The guard shouted at the pavilion that loomed behind the bamboo grove, and then retreated.

Lu Chen looked around blankly, tiptoeing to look over, but he still saw a bamboo forest, at most he saw a red tile pavilion there, and he couldn't see if there was anyone in it.

"The cultivation of the Lingzi realm, the vigorous blood and qi should be the refining body. Yes, I think I can do heavy work. Come in and see. ”

A man's voice came from a distance, and a gust of wind blew at the same time. The bamboo forest made a rustling sound, and then broke a path, and the path was winding and secluded.

Lu Chen showed surprise on his face, tried to take two steps, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he walked in with confidence.

When you have to get out of the bamboo forest, you can see that it is much more open everywhere. The grass is green, the water pavilion flowers bloom, there is a rockery not far away, and the mountain is the pavilion and water pavilion of the corner seen before. There are white gauze cages around it, and only two figures can be seen sitting and standing in the pavilion. Although he could not see it clearly, he could recognize that it was a woman sitting there, and that the person standing behind him was a man.

"The clothes are untidy, the body is full of blood, and there is a faint fierce atmosphere. Where did you come from, and what is your identity? Why do you come to work in my Guanyun Tower, and what are you looking for?!"

The man seemed to turn around, facing this way. Lu Chen could feel a pair of eyes falling on him, as if he had seen himself through and all his secrets would be exposed.

He shuddered excitedly, and subconsciously blocked the ring on his right hand, silent and didn't know how to respond.

The man's tone was not good, but now seeing that Lu Chen didn't answer, some anger arose in his heart, and he immediately snorted coldly, which exploded in his ears like a muffled thunder, shaking his internal organs and trembling. A mouthful of reverse blood surged up, and Lu Chen desperately suppressed it, so he didn't spit it out, but his face became much paler.

"It doesn't matter. ”

The woman spoke softly, her voice was gentle, and when she fell into Lu Chen's ears, it seemed that there was a gust of fresh wind penetrating the inside and outside of her body, and the injuries in her internal organs were much lessened, and she immediately stopped hurting.

He was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and his appearance was no more than twenty-eight, and he thought he was a child of a nearby mountain villager. As you said, there is flesh and a fierce aura in this person's body. Although he didn't know why, his evil aura was very different from his own aura, and his blood qi was probably caused by encountering wild beasts and bandits, otherwise how could he be in tatters?

Lu Chen was still curious about how his injuries would heal, and when he heard the woman say this, his face was immediately happy.

"No!"

Before he could speak, the man spoke again.

"Qingyun Mountain has had a lot of friction with my Liangyi Gate recently, this person's origin is not clear, and he doesn't answer questions, so he can't say that he came from Qingyun Mountain..."

"He is from Qingyun Mountain, and my Guanyun Tower is just a mortal store, what is the picture?"

The woman interrupted him, stood up, and faced the man in the pavilion.

"Senior Brother Shen Cong, I am in charge of Guanyun Tower in the name of my master, and I am the one in charge here. How to do it, it should be up to me to decide, you are a guest here, and it is not good to act as a substitute. ”

The man named Shen Cong seemed to be stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Lu Chen grinned secretly when he heard it, but he already understood.

This Shen Cong thought that he was also from the Liangyi Sect, and he didn't know why he came here, but that woman was the manager of the bun shop as the owner said. It's just that its voice is crisp, like a yellow bird, and it doesn't sound like an old elder in my impression, but like a double ten.

"If you insist, so be it. ”

Shen Cong spoke again and sighed faintly.

The woman didn't say much to him, took two steps, lifted the white veil with her bare hands, and revealed a delicate face.

She wore a white dress and mopped the floor, and there were black stripes embellishing. The cloud sideburns are lightly pulled, the eyes are like double stars, and the eyebrows are picturesque, delicate and elegant. A smile on the corner of his lips is gentle and faint, just looking at it, it gives people a great good impression.

Lu Chenhe had never seen such a woman, and he was immediately a little stunned. When he reacted, he couldn't help but show a look of shame on his face.

The woman was not annoyed, but only smiled gently and beckoned him to come over.

"What's your name?"

"Lu Chen..."

Lu Chen obediently walked over, stood at the foot of the rockery, looked up at the person who seemed to come out of the painting, was defenseless, and answered truthfully. When he was sober, he reacted and scolded himself twice, but he couldn't help but sneak a few glances at the woman.

"Lu Chen?"

The woman read and nodded slightly. She just flipped her hand, and there was already an extra silver key in her palm, and then it was supported by Qingguang and hung in front of Lu Chen.

From there, head west and take the south path. At the end of the day, you will see a pavilion, and on the third floor, number four, is the room where you have the key, and I will send someone to bring you the appropriate clothes. The room is fully prepared, you can go and tidy up, you don't have to rush. Tomorrow morning at 9 a.m., someone will take you to familiarize yourself with the work, so don't oversleep. ”

With that, the woman smiled like water, and then turned around and went back to the pavilion. With a light brush, there is a faint sound of string music, which is better than the world.
