This is a city where mortals and monks coexist. I saw taverns, hotels, grocery stores, pawn shops, pharmacies along the way...it was very lively with people coming and going. The faint fluctuations coming from some people, many of them were similar to those of my former master and uncle, and some of them exuded terror. breath. The sky was getting darker, but there were more and more people on the streets. Slowly, all the streets became brightly lit. The two were surprised to find that it was not an oil lamp, but something shiny like a stone, which was brighter than the oil lamp. I don’t know how many times it needs to be brighter. Feeling the disgusted looks from the people around him, Ning Ping turned around and looked at the two of them. Indeed, the two of them were completely beggars now. Over and over again in his mind, he recalled the experiences in the city that Hua Wenyao once boasted about. A guest house on the roadside came into view. The word "accommodation" was written in big characters on the door. Accommodation was the first problem to be solved at the moment. "Sister Qing, let's find a place to stay and get clean first." "Well, but we don't have any money." Shen Qingyao said cautiously. "It's okay. I'm here. Master gave me some before." Ning Ping responded and pulled Shen Qingyao in without any explanation. People coming in and out saw the two of them giving way with their eyes and noses, which made them extremely embarrassed. It was brightly lit, except for one main passage, and on the other side was a place for eating. "You two, do you want some food and drinks or accommodation?" A waiter came over and blocked the two of them from the door. Although there was unconcealable disgust in his eyes, he still sounded quite polite.
"We need accommodation." Ning Ping said calmly, trying to sound more sophisticated. "Guest sir, we only charge spirit stones for accommodation here, you two..." Shen Qingyao on the side looked a little anxious after hearing this. The two of them escaped all the way but didn't even have time to bring out their clothes, so she whispered: "How about we go outside and take a look." Ning Ping smiled slightly at Shen Qingyao and said comfortingly: "No, I'm aware of it." After saying that, he turned around and continued to say to the guy: "Just lead the way." "Okay, please come this way. Accommodation, you two~" He was leading the way while singing in his mouth. The two of them came to the front counter, and a shopkeeper inside said: "There is still a Tianzi room, you two can do it." "Aren't there two?" Ning Ping frowned. "I'm sorry, there's only one room. You two are..." The shopkeeper looked at the two of them doubtfully. It seemed that they were brother and sister, and judging from the situation, they must have encountered some trouble outside the city. "We are siblings." Shen Qingyao said immediately from the side. Then he anxiously pulled Ning Ping's clothes and said softly: "Just one room, two rooms are a waste." "Then let's take this one, please shopkeeper." The shopkeeper immediately took out a wooden sign with a key hanging on it: "This is the key. Take it with you. One spiritual stone a day." Ning Ping was slightly stunned. He had never lived in a spiritual stone a day and had no idea about it. But his intuition told him that this spiritual stone was quite precious. However, this was not the time to inquire, so he took out a spiritual stone and put it away. On the table. The shopkeeper then put away the spirit stone with a smile on his face and said: "Come, take the two distinguished guests upstairs to rest." The waiter who had been standing by just now stood up a little embarrassed: "Please." The room was at the back of the second floor, and it became much quieter after arriving on the second floor. The waiter opened the door, welcomed the two of them in, and said respectfully: "Please come in, you two. Washing and other things are in the inner room. There is a supply of hot water inside at any time. If you need anything else, just call me. Then The younger one will leave first.” After the waiter left, the two closed the door. In an instant, the room became unusually quiet, and all the sounds outside disappeared. Both of them looked at this luxurious room in surprise. They had never seen a room that could be so beautiful. However, after they understood the value of the spirit stone, they only felt distressed.
I saw that all the furniture in the room was carefully made of unknown wood and polished with paint to make it shiny. The curtains and bedding were made of fine silk. After watching for a while, both of them became very cautious, because they saw that they were still dirty. "Sister Qing, you should take a shower first. The journey has been tiring." "Hmm~" Shen Qingyao responded, then walked towards the inner room that the waiter had just mentioned. But after a while, Shen Qingyao's voice came over. "Ning Ping, come here." Ning Ping arrived there immediately, and it turned out that Shen Qingyao did not notice the existence of water, but only saw some neatly placed towels and the like. After struggling for a long time, Ningping discovered that the water here was led from the wall, and a smaller compartment inside was thoughtfully equipped with toilets. Sure enough, people in this big city just know how to enjoy themselves. Not long after Ningping came out, he heard the sound of water coming from inside, and then the scene from the past reappeared in his mind. After finally getting rid of his random thoughts, Ning Ping discovered a big problem, that is, neither of them had a change of clothes, so they couldn't continue to wear the rags they were wearing. So Ning Ping came downstairs, planning to buy some clothes. "Brother, come here for a moment." When he got downstairs, Ning Ping observed other people's actions for a while and then followed suit, learning and applying them now. The waiter from the shop from before ran over in a hurry. "Excuse me, sir. Is there anything missing in your room?" "I want to ask, where can I buy clothes here?" "Oh, you want to buy clothes? I'll take you there. There's one next door, which happens to be owned by our shopkeeper. How about I take you there?" The waiter's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he took the initiative to agree. He was a thief in the market. You should know that everyone who can stay in their store is rich or noble. Don't look at the tattered clothes they wear, but not everyone can afford to live in a house that costs one Lingshi a day. "Okay, then you lead the way!" After saying that, the two walked out. Sure enough, there was a beautifully decorated clothing store next to the Yingkeju, with all kinds of clothes hanging in a dazzling array. "Auntie He, I'm bringing guests here to buy clothes. Can you recommend some?" As soon as the waiter entered the store, he called out to a wealthy woman inside. "Yes, Ah Fu. Please come in, distinguished guest." When the lady saw Ning Ping's expression, she did not show any disdain, but became even more enthusiastic. She knew all the guests who could stay in the next room, and judging from the situation, it might be some rich young man in trouble.
