I Can't Be Sword God

466 The Jinque country

Wolf smoke wind sand pass.

Night fell.

This was the Jinque Kingdom, the first Kingdom to arrive in the Heluo dynasty from the West. In ancient times, there was once a prosperous dynasty in the Western regions. In order to welcome merchants from the East and West, they had built a huge Golden City gate here. It was said that it would never close, and it became a magnificent sight for a time. It was called the Golden Palace.

Many years later, the prosperous dynasty had long fallen apart, and the Golden Gate that never closed had long been buried under the wind and sand. However, the number of traveling merchants had not stopped for a thousand years.

Dust and sand covered the Golden Palace, and the cloth shoes did not rest.

From a bird’s eye view, this was the first Oasis at the edge of the vast desert, and it was the only candle flame in the darkness.

The streets and markets that were bustling with people in the day had already gone to bed. Other than a few gathering places for scholars, the entire oasis could be considered quiet.

At this time, there was a knock on the door at the end of the long Street.

Du, du, du.

There was a magnificent attic with a sign that said ” cloud Inn “. Perhaps it had been blown by the wind for a long time, the words on it were a little mottled.

“Who is it?”

The lady boss, who was wearing an apron and had a strong build, opened the door and saw a tall and thin black-faced Taoist priest. He was smiling. Auntie, we are here to stay.

“We’re full, let’s go elsewhere.” The lady boss responded and was about to close the door.

The black-faced Taoist quickly stopped her. hey, Auntie. We’ve traveled half of Jinque city and this is the last Inn we have. Can you make an exception and help us find a place to stay? ”

“I said it’s full, don’t you understand?”

The lady boss glared at him, and the black-faced Taoist priest subconsciously took a step back. With a bang, the lady boss closed the door.

“This bi an ...”

The black-faced Taoist was none other than du Lanke, the third-generation disciple of the deyun Taoist temple in ten miles of pode in Jiangnan.

He scratched his head in embarrassment and turned around. “Look at this Yingluo.”

It turned out that there were a few more people standing below the steps behind him.

The one in front was an old Daoist with a Sage-like air. He had a smile on his face, and his clothes fluttered in the wind. He didn’t seem like a mortal.

The second one was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a brocade robe. He looked worried and impatient.

The third one was a dazzlingly handsome young Taoist priest, who looked indifferent. He just stood there quietly, as if thousands of stars were gathered on him.

The fourth was a little girl in a colorful dress with tassels. She had fair skin and a cute appearance. He seemed to be a little sleepy and was rubbing his eyes. The ahoge on his forehead was soft and drooping.

These people were from deyun temple.

Yu Qi ‘an led the way, followed by Li Chu, Wang longqi, du Lanke, and the little koi fish.

Wang longqi saw that old du was defeated, so he went forward and said, ” communication requires skill. I’ll do it.

Then, he stepped forward and knocked on the door again.

Du, du, du.

“Who is it?”

The brawny lady boss opened the door again, and this time, she saw a face with thick eyebrows and big eyes with an evil smile.

“Sis,” Wang longqi laughed.”You see, it’s already late, where are we going to find a place to stay? I see that you’re beautiful and kind, sister. I’m sure you can’t bear to see us sleeping on the streets, right? Why not Zhenzhen?”

“Get lost,” he said.

Bang!

This time, before he could finish, the door was slammed shut, almost hitting Wang longqi’s nose.

The curses of the lady boss could be faintly heard from inside,”I hate these lechers who covet my beauty, Yingluo.”

Wang longqi scratched his head and mumbled, ” you can insult my character, but you can’t insult my taste, hehe.

“Alright, seventh young master, come back. Don’t embarrass yourself.” Du Lanke waved his hand and turned around.”When we entered the city, weren’t there many merchants lying under the city gate with their own bedding? now it seems that they didn’t want to save money, but there were too many merchants and no place to live. Why don’t we find a place and make do for the night?”

“There’s no need for that.” Yu Qi ‘an shook his head and said to Li Chu,”Disciple, why don’t you go and ask?”

Li Chu looked at his master and nodded. “Alright,” he said.

He walked forward and knocked on the door again.

Du, du, du.

“Are you done? don’t you know how powerful I am?” The lady boss rolled up her sleeves and opened the door while cursing. She seemed to be about to make a move when she suddenly changed the topic. She paused and asked,”Little Daoist priest, what business do you have with me?”

“I’m from Heluo in the eastern lands,” Li Chu said,”and I’m on a journey to the Western regions. I’m just passing by and would like to stay the night. I’ll leave tomorrow, would it be convenient for you?”

“Alright, alright, alright.” The lady boss smiled without hesitation,”we’re open for business, how can we push our customers away?” Aiyo, Daoist priest even brought four little things. Come, come, come, come, come in together.”

Behind him, Yu Qi ‘an said to Wang longqi, ” “See that? Communication requires skill.”

Wang longqi,”hehe.”

“Come, waiter,” the lady boss shouted,”arrange a place for our guests to stay.”

The shop assistant came over and said awkwardly, ” lady boss, we’re always full before dusk. Where are we going to find a place to stay? ”

“Why not?” The lady boss rolled her eyes. isn’t the woodshed still empty? ”

The young man was stunned for a moment and said,”letting the guest stay in the woodshed?” That’s not good, is it?”

of course not. I’m asking you to inform the other guys to sleep in the woodshed tonight and leave your rooms for the guests. The lady boss waved her hand.

“Ah?” The shop assistant was even more stunned.

...

He had never expected her to have this up her sleeve.

“What’s with the” ah “? Hurry up and go.” The lady boss glared at him again.

Perhaps it was because he had been intimidating them for a long time, but the young man did not dare to talk any more nonsense after being glared at. He quickly ran over to inform his employees of the bad news.

The lady boss turned around and immediately smiled at Li Chu. “Little Taoist, I’ll immediately ask them to clean up the room. It’s just that the workers” room is a little small, so I’ll have to trouble you and these guests.”

“Thank you, lady boss. I won’t feel aggrieved.” Li Chu nodded.

“Then please rest in the hall for a while. I’ll go make a pot of hot tea for you.”

After saying that, the lady boss also twisted her thick waist and left leisurely.

The group of five sat around the table.

“No matter what, I’m finally able to rest.” Yu Qi ‘an let out a long sigh.

If Li Chu was on his own, it would only take him a short while to fly all the way to the Western Region. However, since four out of five of them could not fly, he had no choice but to ride on the rented Mount of his sect. After flying for half a day, they arrived at the border of the Western Region of Heluo. After collecting the customs document at the border, they arrived at the first stop outside the border, the Jinque Kingdom.

After a long day, the others were all exhausted.

...

At this time, the scenery of the Western Region could no longer be seen, only the vast night.

In the group, Yu Qi ‘an was there to look for the Big Dipper star bead, Li Chu was there to protect his master, and old du was there to help Li Chu carry his bag. Wang longqi had hitched a ride to save the mother, and Yu Qi ‘an had decided to bring the little koi fish, Chenchen.

The old Daoist said that he had to bring the little koi fish for such an important matter. It didn’t matter if it was useful or not, it was at least for good luck.

“I’ll go to the market tomorrow and buy a map of the Western regions. Then, I’ll rent a Mount and head straight to the White jade nation.” Old du suggested, ” anyway, finding star beads is also a matter of luck. Why don’t we help seventh young master first so that he can rest assured? ”

“Sure.” The old Daoist nodded in agreement.

Wang longqi was very touched and said,”sect head Yu, I’m really grateful.” If I can do this, I, Wang longqi, swear to the heavens that I will become sworn brothers with you, and you will always be my good big brother!”

Without waiting for the old Taoist to speak, du Lanke said, ” seventh young master, you’re in the wrong. I treat you like a brother, but you’re going to treat me like a grandson?”

Wang longqi blinked and smiled. then Li Chu, you, and I will become sworn brothers. We will call each other brothers. You can go back to the temple and talk about your own things.

“Go to hell,” elder du waved his hand.

Just as he said that, the lady boss came over to greet them. handsome little Taoist, and the four of you over there, our rooms are ready. Come over quickly.

“Many thanks, lady boss.”

After thanking him, Li Chu and the others went to their respective rooms.

As the lady boss said, the place where the waiter lived was definitely not big, but fortunately, it was clean and tidy, so it was not bad to make do with it for a night.

Especially when he thought of the few workers who were now gathering in the woodshed to keep warm, he suddenly felt that this place was already considered a good place.

Coupled with the fact that they were tired from the day, the few of them soon fell asleep.

The moon fell into his heart.

After an unknown period of time, a small plop suddenly sounded in the quiet night. It was like a frog jumping into a paddy field, but it did not affect the silence of the night.

However, Li Chu’s eyes suddenly opened.

There was demonic Qi.
