Chapter 114, and the end of the black market

After going through many hardships and dangers, and even going through life and death to get to this ancient city, Ran Tianluo felt that it was very worthless on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also had a strong interest in this mysterious ancient city. At this time, Luo Xiaocheng was drunk and unconscious, and Ran Tianluo was ready to go out for a walk. Check out this legendary ancient city.

Pushing open the door and walking out, I walked through a corner of the cloister, and in a short time I was already in the hall. The hall of the inn is also circular, with a diameter of about 100 feet, and there are seventy or eighty round luxury Dan lacquer tables in between. On the second floor, where Ran Tianluo was located, there were two stairs that went around the wall and led to the entrance of the hall on the first floor.

Ran Tianluo gradually walked down the stairs on the right, and saw that directly below the floor slab on the second floor was the inn counter. There are all kinds of silk warp hanging in the inn, and there are countless precious jade glasses on the wall. I saw people coming and going in the hall, and I was puzzled. The people who come here are all beautifully dressed and extraordinary. But the food and drinks they ordered were worth a lot. Ran Tianluo looked at it, and the girls who served the food were all dressed luxuriously and gracefully, and she didn't feel very surprised.

Ran Tianluo had already changed into her snow-white green silk wide-sleeved long skirt when she went downstairs. The bloodstains and mutilations in between have also become flawless under her ingenious female popularity. Ran Tianluo walked into this hall, and in an instant, he had already attracted the attention of many people. For a moment, a sigh of embarrassment spread in the hall. Everyone's eyes slowly moved with her footsteps.

Ran Tingluo found a seat where no one was there and sat down, and after a while, a bunch of people came to talk, and Ran Tingluo smiled back and did not answer. Those people didn't get more benefits, but they were able to make the beauty smile, and they all left happily.

After a while, I saw a woman wearing a red silk veil from the Western Regions coming up, and the woman was very enchanting. Coupled with the transparent texture of the red gauze of the Western Regions, it does not reveal her sultry skin. The woman walked towards Ran Tianluo with moon steps. In the mouth:

"Yo, this guest officer is so beautiful, but how can he see such a face? Could it be the first time to come to our Immortal Town?" The woman's voice was very tactful, and it was even more enchanting.

Ran Tianluo nodded, the woman covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Don't be shy, guest officer, I am the shopkeeper of this Four Seas Inn, and my name is Yue Wuyan." ”

Ran Tianluo got up and saluted, and said, "I've seen the moon shopkeeper, and I've admired it for a long time." The name of the moon shopkeeper is not very practical, and the beauty of the moon shopkeeper is enough to shock the Western Regions, how can it be Wuyan. ”

Yue Wuyan squinted and smiled: "The guest officer is really good at laughing, where is the little girl as beautiful as the guest officer." You are the face of the country and the city. Just look at the eyes of these people around you. But when you said this, the little girl was very happy, and the money for the meal was given to you free. ”

Ran Tianluo smiled and said: "The shopkeeper is so generous, then I might as well be respectful." ”

Yue Wuyan lifted her gauze skirt lightly, sat down, and said, "I don't know what the guest officer is called, what are you doing in our remote town?"

Ran Tianluo said: "My name is Ran Tianluo, I wanted to go to Loulan, but I happened to pass by Zoumachuan, so I came in with my eldest brother to avoid the wind and sand, and replenish for one night." ”

Yue Wuyan listened to it and let out a strange sigh. continued: "Miss Ran's eldest brother is the Luo drunkard who just gambled with others?"

When Ran Tianluo heard her say that she was gambling and drinking, and her surname was Luo, she was already sure that it was Luo Xiaocheng, and immediately nodded. There was a burst of laughter in the hall. One said: "Drunkard Luo actually has such a handsome sister." Another said: "He doesn't have any sister, he is alone, girl, he is a good drinker and gambler, don't be deceived by him." ”

Yue Wuyan said with a smile: "Luo Xiaocheng is also a frequent customer in my store, but he still owes me a lot of wine money so far." I saw that he was alone, so I promised him a few days. He was fine, and he did send the money in a few days, but every time he did, he had to remove several jars of apricot blossom brew from me. Hehe, I really didn't expect that he was so blessed to have such a beautiful girl. ”

Ran Tianluo smiled: "The eldest brother likes to drink, probably because he has something on his mind. Don't worry about the monthly shopkeeper, I will pay for all the wine he owes. With that, he took out two gold bars from his bosom. Handed it to Yue Wuyan's face. Yue Wuyan saw that she was generous, and her attitude was several times better.

"This should be enough to pay for the drinks and the two of us. ”

Yue Wuyan said with a smile: "What did the guest officer say?" My Four Seas Inn is not a black shop, and the price of the house and wine is all at a price. I won't charge the girl a penny more. As he spoke, he shouted to a woman at the counter: "Qiu Ling, find one hundred and sixteen taels of silver for this guest officer." ”

Ran Tianluo waved his hand and said, "No need, I still have some questions I want to ask the shopkeeper of the month, so let this money be used as a thank you gift." ”

Yue Wuyan said: "Okay, this silver will be saved by the Four Seas Inn for the girl, and the girl will be given a big discount when she comes back next time." What does the girl say, in this Western Regions, if you want to be well-informed, but no one can compare to me Yue Wuyan, hehe, as long as I know, the little girl must know everything. ”

Ran Tianluo nodded and said, "How do you go to Loulan here?"

Yue Wuyan said: "What the girl said should be Shanshan, Loulan Kingdom has moved its capital to Mucheng as early as the Han Dynasty. The mud city is about 600 miles east of Boxian Town. It's still quite prosperous now, but it's quite big compared to our Boxian Town. But there is absolutely no comfort here for us. ”

Ran Tianluo said: "What kind of place is this?" I think the treasures and antiques in this hall are already rich. ”

Yue Wuyan smiled and said, "I'm just a businessman, these are just some gadgets to decorate the façade." The girl doesn't have to care. ”

Ran Qianluo nodded and smiled, and Yue Wuyan continued: "Look at me." The girl has been talking for so long, and I haven't even served a cup of tea, and others are going to say that I am not very hospitable. Qiu Lian, Qiu Yu, good tea, instructed Chef Zhou to make a few signature dishes in our store for this guest officer. The kitchen should take it, and in a short time, several women with good figures have already brought the meal. Yue Wuyan got up and looked at her, and bowed apologetically. said: "Girl, please use it slowly, I won't bother anymore." Don't worry about Officer Luo's meal, we'll deliver it to his room later. ”

Ran Tianluo thanked her, and Yue Wuyan entered the inner hall with a bewitching step.

After eating, Ran Tianluo felt strength. So he went out and went to the streets. But at the door of an inn, she found that this city was really different.

The entire ancient city was built in a valley. This valley is more than 200 zhang high, and the mountain walls on both sides are covered with plank roads, pontoon bridges, and houses and palaces. Many places have been carved deep into the mountain walls. The plank roads on both sides of the mountain walls are densely packed like spider webs. The houses are built in the air, one floor at a time to the top of the hill.

Looking up at the bottom of the deep valley, all you can see is a glimmer of sky. The light in the valley is not good, so there are blazing torches and stoves everywhere. Ran Tianluo looked around, only to see the first floor and above the trestle, there was a sea of people, and there was an endless stream. From time to time, a large cart of goods staggered across the dangling bridge. In this first layer, blacksmiths and silversmiths intersect, and there is a prosperous scene.

Ran Tianluo looked into the distance, with the help of a little light sprinkled by a line of sky, Ran Tianluo saw that the stones on both sides of the valley in the distance were carved into two face-to-face Buddha statues, the two Buddhas were as high as the valley, opposite to the embedded wall, the right hand was crossed in front of the chest, the left hand was stretched out, and the two palms were stretched together, forming a natural stone bridge, and the light of the sky was projected on the palms of the two Buddhas, which looked very mysterious.

In this valley, the higher you go, the higher the luxury of the houses. The pearl and jade glaze, carved stone railing, is very exquisite. Only this inn of the four seas was built in the valley and not on top of it. The circular style of the building seems to be out of place with other buildings. Ran Tianluo roughly counted, there were nine layers in this valley, and the levels on both sides were almost symmetrical. Ran Tianluo saw that there were caves on the interstairs here, and thought that this ancient city should not be as simple as what he saw now. The mountains on both sides should have been hollowed out. As a result, the city is much bigger than expected.

Ran Tianluo was surprised in his heart: "I didn't expect this ancient city to be so prosperous. Ran Tianluo was idle at this time, and Luo Xiaocheng didn't wake up, so he wanted to go shopping at this time. The things at the bottom are all ordinary things, all kinds of swords, silks, antiques. Although there are a lot of things, none of them can arouse Ran Tianluo's interest. Ran Tianluo looked bored, and went up to the second floor along a trestle bridge.

The things on the second floor are still relatively exquisite, and Ran Tianluo looked around, whether it was the delicacy of the things here or the number of types, they had improved a lot compared to the first layer. But although the things are good, the price is also much higher. There isn't much to be done in this layer. After looking at it for a while, I went directly to the third floor.

Ran tilted around in the third layer. It seems that there are a lot more high-end things on each floor. Ran Tianluo found many antique calligraphy and paintings on this floor, and they were all genuine. Ran Tianluo unexpectedly found two real books of Zhong Xuan. Something like this is basically priceless on the outside. But here it can only be ranked to the third level.

Ran Tianluo bought some wound medicine on the third floor, and also bought a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. I was about to rush to the fourth floor, but at the entrance of the plank road, I saw an inconspicuous stall with a guqin.

There was a shallow scorch mark on the tail of the guqin, and the whole body was shiny. For a pianist like Ran Tianluo, it can be seen at a glance that this piano is extraordinary and really a fine product.

Ran Qianluo couldn't help but murmur, "Good piano!"
