Su Huai stood at the foot of the towering city wall, gazing at the human soldiers clad in black armor and wielding long spears, a ripple of subtle emotions stirring within him.
After nearly a week since leaving the Snow Mountain, he encountered countless villages similar to Rongxia Village along the way.
Following the villagers' guidance, he finally arrived at the "bustling place" that was said to be unreachable.
This was the first large city of the human race that Su Huai had seen since coming to the Divine Domain.
It is said that the city master of Linjiang City is a strong person in the middle of the national boundary, who has been protecting this city for a thousand years.
There are not many teams entering the city, mostly people from villages around with a certain self-protection force, coming to the city to sell some specialties and accumulated ghost materials.
Then, through the city's market, they buy back some cultivation resources for the villagers.
Su Huai saw two carriages carrying spiritual fruits like "Chi Shui Tangerine" at the city gate, waiting for the guard's inspection.
The guards first collect the city entrance fee according to the number of people, then ask a few questions, use a magic tool similar to the demon-reflecting mirror to sweep a few times in the team entering the city, and finally issue a yellow paper with a seal, allowing people to enter the city.
Su Huai happened to be behind those carriages.
After handing over the city entrance fee of ten silver skull coins, the scribe sitting on the side of the city gate began to interrogate.
"Name?"
Su Huai swallowed his saliva: "Qian Sihai"
"Cultivation?"
"Late Emperor Realm"
The scribe's hand holding the pen froze, looked up at Su Huai a few times.
"You can stay in the city for three days. During this period, do not cause trouble in the city. Otherwise, the law enforcement team has the right to suppress and even kill you. You must leave the city within three days."
"Okay."
There is no more nonsense, that mirror magic tool sweeps Su Huai's body, and after confirming that he is a human, the scribe quickly stamps and lets go.
Su Huai took a look at the yellow paper in his hand.
This is something similar to a temporary ID card to prevent foreign people from staying in the city.
There is also a note below, which can extend the stay time through a high fee service, and the fee is the same for everyone, ten silver skull coins a day.
If you exceed the time limit and have not left, and are unwilling to pay, the law enforcement team has the right to forcibly expel.
Put away the ID card in his hand, Su Huai began to wander in this city.
The little skeleton did not follow him into the city, but stayed at the city gate, diligently doing the job of a traveling merchant.
Su Huai blinked, after all, it is not a full-time bodyguard. It is already very good to follow all the way, and it is impossible to protect closely.
Most of the people in the city are ordinary people who are busy for a living, restaurants, inns, vendors, and even brothels and gambling houses...
"Brother, come in and play ~"
"Today, there is a flower queen sitting in the pavilion to play the tune, many talented scholars compete in poetry and verses. If you win the top, you can spend a good night with the flower queen!"
"..."
"I have no money."
The girl holding the handkerchief to welcome Su Huai stopped, then turned around with a face full of bad luck, and welcomed a fat middle-aged man.
Su Huai curled his mouth.
Which family's talent will be in the brothel to recite poetry and drink?
You ask Li Sidao to go to the brothel? If it's not as good as Li Sidao, then I don't recognize your family's talent.
In short, everything in the fairy domain is the same in this city, even making Su Huai feel a kind of illusion that the divine domain is very peaceful.
Until he walked into the market for monks and saw the corpses of demons on the table and on the ground, he returned from the bustling market to the world full of blood and killing.
There are many low-level demons in the market.
There are not many people selling ghost materials, after all, ghost materials are mostly toxic, and apart from refining instruments, there are not many uses.
Through the market, Su Huai saw two acquaintances.
Cao Jiaxue, with an apron tied around her waist and her hair tied up, was standing in front of a table selling fish, and from time to time she turned to poke the man beside her a few times.
"Shout, hurry up and shout!"
"If you don't shout loudly, how can there be business?"
The former dignified and full-bodied Jin captain, with a black face, skillfully cut open the big fish in front of him with a kitchen knife, then dug out the crystal core, and put the fish meat on the chopping board in front of Cao Jiaxue.
Jin captain limited skin - killing fish guy!
Su Huai couldn't help but laugh, put on a hood to cover his face, and then slowly swayed to the fish stall of these two people.
"Boss, how much is this fish per catty?"
Cao Jiaxue turned her head: "This is the five-order demon beast Qingfin Silverfish from Lanwen River, only twenty silver skull coins per catty!"
"Twenty silver skull coins?"
Su Huai picked up a fish and weighed it.
"Is this fish cooked?"
"Ah... Ah?"
"I'm asking if this fish is cooked?"
Cao Jiaxue closed her mouth and didn't speak. She has a good appearance, and because she has been a village head for a long time, she has a capable temperament, and her facial features are naturally a bit charming.
During her time selling fish for a living in Linjiang City, she has encountered many men who are looking for trouble.
In her view, Su Huai belongs to those who are looking for trouble.
It is obvious that Jin captain also thinks so, and he chops the kitchen knife on the chopping board with a bang, holding a short spear in his right hand, glaring at Su Huai fiercely.
"What do you mean? If you don't want this fish!?"
"If this fish is cooked, I will definitely want it!"
Su Huai raised his head and revealed his face.
Cao Jiaxue and Jin captain were immediately stunned.
"Su..."
"Shh -"
"My name is Qian Sihai now, don't blow it."
Jin captain took back his short spear, expressing contempt for Su Huai's behavior of hiding his identity.
"Why did you come here to sell fish?"
Jin captain lowered his head and didn't want to speak, starting to silently tidy up the fish stall, and Cao Jiaxue smiled and explained to Su Huai:
"There's no way, in order to have a place to stay here, we can only do some fishing and selling fish."
"Brother Yuan Chong's short spear stabbing technique, let alone other things, at least it is accurate when catching fish."
Su Huai's mind emerged with the scene of Jin captain sitting in a small boat, with a short spear in his left hand and a fish fork in his right hand, with a cigarette in his mouth, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Jin captain's face turned even darker.
"It's been more than two months since we last saw you, we thought something happened to you..."
"I heard that the night after we moved away from Rongxia Village, there was a ghost tide, and the area where the original village was located was completely submerged."
Cao Jiaxue still felt apprehensive when talking about this matter.
"Thanks to your reminder to move ahead of time!"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid all the villagers would have died there."
"It's not easy to meet today, come on, let's go to our place, and we will entertain you!"
