Simultaneous travel: I am rampant in the domestic area

Chapter 93: Strange Stories from Bozhou

Chapter 93: Strange Stories from Bozhou
Southern Xinjiang, Luoxia Mountain.

The Tiangu tribe was built at the foot of Luoxia Mountain. From the foot to the mountainside, terraces were lined up one after another, and a dam stood on the mountainside.

When Lina arrived at the Tiangu tribe according to the instructions, dozens of people from the Tiangu tribe were standing on the dam, observing the rainfall in the next few days. The white-haired old woman in the lead was the leader of the Tiangu tribe, Tiangu Grandma.

"Grandma!" Lina waved her hands and shouted.

Grandma Tiangu noticed her, smiled, and changed her shape in a flash of lightning and came in front of her.

"Mother-in-law, why did you call me over here?" Lina asked curiously. She heard from her father that the message from Mother-in-law Tiangu was urgent, so she rushed over without even having time to eat.

Grandma Tiangu smiled without saying a word, and took Lina straight into the house. She took out a wooden box from the cabinet. Inside was a white jade-like insect that was shaped like a scorpion and had six limbs.

"This is the Seven Deadly Gu that Grandma's husband refined. Before he passed away, it was only halfway refined. Grandma spent twenty years to finally complete it." Grandma Tian Gu pushed the box to Lina and said, "Now I'm handing it over to you for safekeeping."

"For me?" Lina was a little surprised.

"No," Grandma Tian Gu shook her head, "I gave it to you for safekeeping. This time when I come to the capital, I will give it to the destined person."

A destined person? A string of question marks flashed through Lina's mind. She had no idea where this was going. What destined person? And entering the capital...

Lina reacted and said in surprise: "Can I go to the capital to play?"

"I've discussed this with your father and will let you take this opportunity to visit the human world." Grandma Tian Gu nodded, then said solemnly: "Lina, before you meet your destined person, you must protect the Seven Deadly Gu. Fate changes, and I see the future of the Gu Clan in that person."

Great!
Lina swallowed the last words of Grandma Tian Gu along with the Qi Jue Gu. Her mind was now full of the various delicacies in the capital that No. 3 mentioned.

So on the way back to the Power Gu Department, she couldn't wait to take out the fragment of the Earth Book and wanted to tell everyone the news. However, she found that No. 2 and No. 4 were also talking about going to the capital, so she quickly said:
What a coincidence! I'm also leaving Southern Xinjiang for Beijing tomorrow to travel. When I get there, let's have a drink together.

【Two: What did you say?】

Beside the official road, under a big tree, Li Miaozhen sat cross-legged, holding a small jade mirror in her hand, and her face suddenly froze.

Russell caught the change in Li Miaozhen's expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. A not-so-smart friend of mine said he wanted to travel to the capital." Li Miaozhen explained, raising the fragment of the Earth Book in her hand.

A rain of apricot blossoms finally reveals one's true nature. Since it cannot be avoided, it is better to let nature take its course.

Anyway, the man surnamed Luo said that he was not afraid of Tianzong, and he would hold up the sky if it fell.

It was also because of this that she told him about the Tiandihui and Taoist Master Jinlian.

"Friend, the one from the Gu Tribe?" Russell pretended to be surprised and said, "Then you have to tell her to be careful. After the Shanhai Campaign, Dafeng is not very friendly to the Gu Tribe."

"I understand." Li Miaozhen nodded.

The people of Dafeng hate the Gu tribe, from the government to the common people.

In the eyes of many low-class people in the underworld, taking any measures against the Gu tribe members is a matter of course. Even if the Gu tribe members are killed in Dafeng, if the government knows the identity of the other party's Gu tribe members, they will most likely choose to ignore it.

"Alright." After a while, Li Miaozhen put the fragments of the Earth Book back into the sachet, stood up and dusted off his body: "Let's go, it will be dark soon if we are any later."

"Bozhou City is twenty miles ahead. If we hurry, we should be able to get there before dark." Russell led the two horses that were grazing opposite each other over and explained their current location to Li Miaozhen.

The two of them were traveling by the official road, and by now they had left Yunzhou. If they hadn't been delayed, they would have passed through Qingzhou and Yongzhou and reached the capital in a month or so. However, given Li Miaozhen's disposition to help others when he saw injustice, this was obviously impossible.

The two of them sped all the way and finally arrived outside Bozhou City before the hour of You, which was still some time before sunset.

Although Bozhou is not very prominent among the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, its economy and people's livelihood are not much worse than those of Baidi City, the capital of Yunzhou.

Come to think of it, Qingzhou is the most prosperous among the nine provinces of Dafeng, and the land of this province alone accounts for nearly one-third of the taxes of Dafeng.

"It's just one night, is it necessary to stay in such a luxurious restaurant?"

In front of Zuiyunju, Li Miaozhen looked up at this luxurious restaurant whose storefront alone was three stories high and couldn't help but click her tongue.

It's not that I feel sorry for the money, but I think that for those who practice cultivation, sleeping in the open air should be the norm. Such luxury is unnecessary. It would be better to put the money to useful places, such as helping the poor and the elderly.

"Save when you should, spend when you should." Russell took the opportunity to grab Li Miaozhen's wrist and dragged her forward half coaxingly and half forcefully.

The waiter at the door, seeing the two approaching the restaurant, immediately stepped forward, bowing and nodding, and said, "My two guests, are you here for a night or to stay overnight?"

"Stay in the hotel!" Russell said, handing the reins to the waiter. The waiter quickly asked another waiter to lead the horse to the backyard, and he took the two of them to the lobby.

It’s strange that although it’s not too late yet, there is hardly anyone in the restaurant.

"Boss, two rooms upstairs." Russell took out a silver ingot from his sac and pushed it in front of the shopkeeper.

"How come you are so rich!?" Li Miaozhen asked in a low voice with a hint of surprise.

"Xu Qian'an gave it to me." Russell answered honestly.

When they were exchanging martial arts techniques earlier, the younger brother insisted that Russell had suffered a great loss and insisted that he accept the three hundred taels of silver. He had no choice but to accept it.

The shopkeeper accepted the silver and his hospitality doubled. He glanced at Luo Su and Li Miaozhen and thought of a plan: "I'm sorry, you two, but we only have one room left."

Russell & Li Miaozhen:?
Dude, don't lie with your eyes open! There's no one in this hall!
Russell widened his eyes and quickly looked at Li Miaozhen. Sure enough, Li Miaozhen also gave him a suspicious look, as if to say, "Something's wrong with you, little brother."

"Ahem, well, boss, this is fine." Russell coughed quickly a few times and knocked heavily on the table with his hand.

At this point, the shopkeeper no longer realized that he had done something wrong with good intentions. He smiled awkwardly and personally led the two guests to the third floor.

The room is at the end of the corridor and you can see the main road when you open the window.

However, there is not a single merchant or vendor to be seen on this main road now, and it is only just after the hour of You!

It is true that Dafeng had a curfew, but it was only implemented around the capital. Almost no other states had such a curfew. Yangzhou City, which was also under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, was famous for its bustling night market.

"Boss, why is it so quiet here at night?" Russell said, "I was thinking of going out to find something to eat later."

"Please don't. If you two feel hungry, I will ask the kitchen to prepare some side dishes and send them up immediately. As for going out, it's better not to mention it again. Even if you go out, no shop will receive you." The shopkeeper became excited and shook his head quickly.

"Why is this?" Li Miaozhen asked in confusion. He had never seen a curfew imposed spontaneously by the people without any written documents from the government.

"You two don't know," the shopkeeper came forward and said in a low voice, "Since half a year ago, there has been an evil spirit in the city. I don't know how many children have died!"

A demon that eats children!?
Li Miaozhen's eyebrows immediately raised, what a courage!
