Chapter 3 Linzhou City

The scorching sun, from spring to summer, after more than three months, Tao Zi from the east to the middle, finally entered the boundary of Zhongzhou - Linzhou City.

When she told Yan Cheng that she was going to go to the secular world that day, Yan Cheng didn't say much, but only told her that if she continued south from the wooden house for about five or six miles, she would see fog on the flat ground, and at this time, she would walk into the fog and close her eyes, regardless of the north and south, and she would be able to reach the secular world.

Tao Zi didn't doubt that he had him, and sure enough, he left the cultivation realm like this.

In the past three months, Tao Zi has walked all the way and walked for I don't know how many miles.

If she is in the mountains and forests, she will collect herbs and wild mushrooms after the summer rains, and if she arrives in the village, she will exchange the herbs and mushrooms from the mountain vegetables for a little food. If you're lucky, you'll have a good Samaritan take her to the next village.

Thanks to the pustules on her face, and the fact that most of these villagers were rustic and did not meet bad people, and that she did not encounter terrible beasts along the way, the journey was quite smooth.

As for being afraid of the dark or something, it was the first difficulty that Tao Zi had to overcome. The results speak for themselves.

The meal style is open, and the journey is hard, but Tao Zi doesn't feel that it is too hard, she always has a clear goal - she wants to go to Dengzhou first, and then go all the way north to Zhaoyao Mountain!

There is a swaying platform on Zhaoyao Mountain, she wants to hit the fairy fate, she wants to rise to the top, she also wants to cultivate immortals, she also wants to become stronger, don't be manipulated by others at will, she wants to avenge her mother and herself!

Originally, Tao Zi was in Liuxian Town, although the town was remote, but it was also in the immortal cultivation world, and staying in the immortal cultivation world was more likely to worship the immortal gate, just like Tao Linghua, who entered the immortal gate through the triennial opening of the Tianshu Palace backed by Liuxian Town.

And she didn't know if the third young master Zhang really said that day that his father went to the Tao family to ask for justice, once the Zhang family really went to the Tao family to ask for someone, with Tao Zhenshan's means of refining qi and Tao Linghua, sooner or later they would find her hiding place.

Once found by the Tao family, the consequences were unimaginable, so she didn't dare to bet, so she would not hesitate to step into the thick fog at the beginning.

10,000 years ago, the eight major sects divided the cultivation realm and the secular realm, and divided the flat area of the Central Plains into the secular realm, after more than 10,000 years of replacement and development, now there are twelve countries coexisting on this plain, collectively known as the twelve kingdoms of Middle Earth.

Linzhou City is the easternmost border city of the Twelve Kingdoms, which is said to be a border city, but it is also the largest city that Tao Ziye has passed through along the way.

After entering the city and thanking Uncle Zhao who was driving the ox cart, Tao Zi walked towards the crude medicine shop.

After exchanging some money, Tao Zi went to the ready-to-wear shop, and then prepared to find an inn to live in, and take a good rest before continuing to set off.

As soon as he said go, Tao Zi and the pharmacy guy inquired, and finally chose Donglai Inn, because although the façade is not big, it is not small, and more importantly, it has a good reputation.

When she entered the Donglai Inn and said that she was going to stay for a few days, the young man at the inn was shocked.

Tao Zi is still dressed in a coarse cloth and has been sleeping in the open for more than three months, and his face is very dark, but the poisonous sores are still terrifying, and he is described as a waste.

She is not afraid of the young man's scrutiny, and the last thing she is afraid of is the scrutiny of others along the way.

"This little guest officer, is he still staying in a hotel? or is he looking for someone? Are you a person?" If you change to another store, you may beat Tao Zi out as a beggar, but the guy here only looked at it for a moment before regaining his composure, but he still has to ask.

"Staying in the hotel, my father just sent me into the city and went out to run errands, because it was inconvenient to take me, he asked me to come to stay first, and he came to look for me in two days. Of course Tao Zi wouldn't tell him the truth, she was also tired, otherwise she wouldn't have come to the inn to stay openly, although she felt that she had grown a lot taller in the past three months, but after all, no matter how tall she was, she would just look like a child.

After saying that, he gave the guy a tael of silver.

"Okay, please upstairs. Tianzi room B, the third room on the left is. Sure enough, the guy who saw the money no longer had doubts in his heart, and when he heard that he had an adult with him, he also relaxed and beckoned Tao Zi upstairs.

After entering the room, Tao Zi asked for two buckets of hot water and a bowl of somen noodles, and after preparing to eat enough, take a good bath.

A full bowl of somen noodles, decorated with two shiitake mushrooms, two slices of green vegetables, and a few green onions, is so good-looking, Tao Zi didn't care about appreciating it, and ate a bowl of noodles clean after a while. At this time, the two buckets of water are also good.

After changing to the second bath bucket, Tao Zi felt much cleaner, and after soaking for about half an hour, the water was cold, so he reluctantly left the bath bucket and took out the new underwear he bought in the ready-to-wear store to change in.

Then he didn't care about the time or whether his hair was dry or not, so he went straight to bed.

Ah, how long has it been since I slept in a soft and comfortable bed, Tao Zi sighed with satisfaction, and then fell asleep with his eyes closed.

........................

"Selling steamed buns, hot and freshly filled meat buns, three pennies a penny!

"Wonton wontons, chicken soup wontons, fresh and filling!"

......

When I woke up, it was already dusk, Tao Zi walked leisurely on the streets of Linzhou Chengxi City, and the various food stalls on the street were working hard to attract customers.

Tao Zi picked up a shop and sat down and asked for a bowl of wontons.

"Catch him, catch the thief!" Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the bun shop not far from the neighborhood.

Immediately someone followed the prestige.

"I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" didn't run far, an eight or nine-year-old kid was trampled on the ground by the owner of the bun shop.

The child didn't care about the punches and kicks on his body, he just desperately stuffed the buns into his mouth, but unfortunately he ate too quickly and was choked and rolled his eyes. The owner of the bun shop stopped his hands and feet.

Tao Zi brought a bowl of warm wonton soup from the wonton stand, walked up to the young man, and poured it for him.

After a while, the young man finally swallowed, and his complexion returned to normal. Tao Zi paid attention to him.

The clothes were so dirty that they couldn't see the color, they were skinny and dirty, but their eyes were unusually bright. Now, these bright eyes were staring straight at Tao Zi.

Tao Zi looked away uncomfortably from him, got up and handed the owner of the bun shop two pennies, and then pulled up the child on the ground.

"Boss, another bowl of wontons!" Tao Zi was a good person to the end, and simply invited the child to have a full meal.

It didn't take long for a bowl of wontons to come to an end.

"My name is Si Yi. ”

Tao Zi looked at him eating wontons and eating steamed buns with a completely different demeanor, although he was hungry, he had a good demeanor, which was very inconsistent with his beggar attire. But she didn't plan to report her names to each other, after all, she just made a move, and it was just because she saw that this child thought of herself a few days ago, and she sympathized with each other.

"Thank you for today's events. He will repay him one day!" Si Yi saw that Tao Zi did not answer, nor was he angry, and after saying this, he took a big stride away.

For Tao Zi, this is just a small episode, and in an instant, he started to do his own thing.

She was going to inquire about the news of the dart bureau or the car dealership, and heard Uncle Zhao, who had taken her into the city before, said that there was a car dealer in Linzhou City, and as long as the fare was sufficient, it was possible to take it to other big cities, but it would take half a month or a trip to ten years.

Tao Zixin said, the world of cultivating immortals is different, and this secular world even has intercity buses.

Three months before, she didn't know how many blisters had broken on the soles of her feet.

As soon as he said it, Tao Zi took a step towards the nearest car.

Arrived at the car dealership, it happened that there was a trip to Dengzhou the day after tomorrow, Tao Zi could not hide his excitement, tomorrow just another day of rest, and then set off the day after tomorrow, it was really not delayed at all, she paid the deposit happily, the store gave her a wooden card with the word "Chen", the day after tomorrow only need to hold this wooden card and pay the remaining half of the deposit to go to Dengzhou.

It was going well, everything was going well, but she always felt like someone was watching her after she left the wonton shop. The feeling made her uncomfortable, so she walked briskly towards the inn.

When I arrived at the inn and saw the guy with a smile on his face, the uncomfortable feeling disappeared.

After that, Tao Zi thought that maybe she thought too much about herself, but she always had some concerns, and finally thought of a compromise solution, put two chairs against the door, and then hung a string of bells she had just bought outside to the window, and put a dagger under the pillow, so that even if someone came in, it would always make a noise, and she would definitely be able to detect it if she was sleepy.

Everything was ready, Tao Zi finally felt a lot more relieved, so he slept with his clothes.

It was night, and Tao Zi seemed to smell a sweet fragrance in his sleep, and then fell into darkness again.
