I Can’t Be a Sword God

Wolf Smoke and Sand Mouth.

Night fell.

This is the Kingdom of Jinque, the first country of the Heluo Dynasty to the West. In ancient times, there was a prosperous Western Dynasty. In order to welcome merchants from east and west, a huge golden city gate was built here.

Many years have passed, that prosperous dynasty has long been torn apart, and the never-closed golden gate has long been buried under the wind and sand. However, the business trips that come and go have not stopped for thousands of years.

Dust and sand cover the golden gate, and the cloth shoes never rest.

From a high-altitude bird's-eye view, this is the first oasis on the edge of the vast desert. At this time, it is the only candle in the darkness.

During the day, the street market, which was crowded with people, has already rested. Except for the gathering places of some literati and refined scholars, the whole oasis can be called quiet.

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

Tuk tuk.

A magnificent attic, with the signboard of "Yunlai Inn", perhaps it has been blown by wind and sand for a long time, and the words on it are a little mottled.

"Who is it?"

The proprietress, who was stout and wearing an apron, opened the door, and saw a tall and thin Taoist priest with a black face, smiling, "Auntie, we are here to stay."

"It's full, go elsewhere." The proprietress responded, and was about to close the door.

The black-faced Taoist hurriedly stopped him and said, "Auntie, we have traveled half of Jinque City, and you are the last inn. Can you be accommodating and help us find a place to live?"

"They said they were full, don't you understand?"

The proprietress glared, the black-faced Taoist retreated subconsciously, and with a bang, the proprietress closed the door.

"this……"

The black-faced Taoist priest is none other than Du Lanke, a third-generation disciple of Jiangnan Shilipode Yunguan.

He ate a pure rejection, scratched his head in embarrassment, turned around and said, "Look at this..."

It turned out that behind him, there were still a few people standing under the steps.

The one at the front is an old Taoist priest with a sense of demeanor, with a smile on his face and fluttering clothes, he just feels that he is not a mortal.

The second one is a brocade-clothed young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a sad and irritable expression on his face.

The third one is a little Taoist priest who is so handsome that it is almost hard to see, with a calm expression. Just standing there quietly, as if thousands of stars gathered in one body.

The fourth is a little girl in a fringed dress with fair skin and a lovely appearance. It seems that he is a little sleepy, rubbing his eyes, and the dull hair on his forehead is drooping.

These few are exactly the group from Deyunguan.

Leading by Yu Qi'an, Li Chu, Wang Longqi, Du Lanke, and Xiao Jinli came hand in hand.

Wang Longqi saw that Lao Du was embarrassed, so he stepped forward and said, "Communication requires skill, let me do it."

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

Tuk tuk.

"Who is it again?"

The stout proprietress opened the door again, and this time she saw a face with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a smirk.

"Sister..." Wang Longqi said with a smile: "Look, it's getting late, where can we find a place to live? I think sister, you are kind-hearted, so you must not bear us to sleep on the street, right? How about..."

"roll."

Boom!

This time, before he finished speaking, the door was slammed shut, almost hitting Wang Longqi's nose.

There was also a faint curse from the proprietress from inside, "The most annoying are these peddlers who are greedy for the beauty of the old lady..."

Wang Longqi scratched his head and muttered softly, "You can insult my personality, but not my taste..."

"Okay, Young Master Qi, come back, don't be ashamed." Dulan Ke waved, then turned his head and said: "When I entered the city, there were many business travelers with their own bedding lying under the city gate. Now it seems that they It's not to save money, but there are too many merchants and there is no place to live. I think, if we can't, let's find a place for the night, shall we?"

"It's not necessary." Yu Qi'an shook his head and said to Li Chu: "Disciple, why don't you ask?"

Li Chu glanced at the master, nodded and said, "Okay."

He stepped forward and knocked on the door again.

Tuk tuk.

"It's not over yet, don't you know how powerful this old lady is... huh?" The proprietress rolled up her sleeves and opened the door cursingly, as if about to make a move, suddenly changed the subject, paused, and asked: "This little Taoist priest , what are you doing?"

Li Chudao: "Poverty Road came from Dongtuheluo, and traveled to the Western Regions. Passing by here, I want to stay overnight, and I will leave tomorrow. I wonder if it is convenient?"

"Okay, okay." The proprietress smiled without hesitation: "We open the door to do business, there is no reason to push the guests out. Hey, the Taoist priest also brought four little things, come here, let's come in together .”

Later, Yu Qi'an said to Wang Longqi earnestly, "Did you see it? Communication requires skill."

Wang Longqi: "..."

The proprietress yelled: "Come on, Xiaoer, arrange accommodation for the guest officials."

The little guy over there came over, wondering: "Miss Boss, we are fully booked before dusk every day. After working so hard, how can we still have a place to stay?"

"Why not?" The proprietress rolled her eyes, "Isn't the firewood room still empty?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and said: "Let the guests live in the firewood house? Isn't it good?"

"Of course it's not good. I'm asking you to tell the other guys to sleep in the firewood room tonight and free up your room for some guests." The proprietress waved her hand.

"Huh?" The boy was even more taken aback.

Never thought she would have such a hand.

"Ah what? Hurry up." The proprietress glared at him again.

Maybe it's been a long time, the little guy was stared at like this, he didn't dare to talk nonsense immediately, and ran over to tell the guys the bad news.

The proprietress turned around, and immediately said to Li Chu with a smile on her face again: "Master Xiaodao, I'll ask them to clean up the room right away, but the room the guys live in is a bit cramped, and I'm going to wrong you and these guests. "

"Thank you Madam Boss, don't feel wronged." Li Chu nodded and said.

"Those guys take a break in the hall first, and I'll make a pot of hot tea for them."

After all, the proprietress also twisted her thick waist and left slowly.

A group of five sat down around the table.

"No matter what, I finally rested." Yu Qi'an sighed.

If it were Li Chu himself, it would only take a moment to fly all the way to the Western Regions. But because four of the five could not fly, he could only ride with him on the rented Zongmen mount, and flew for a full half a day before going to the border gate of the Heluo Western Region. After receiving the certificate of customs clearance at the border, he came to the first place outside the customs, the Kingdom of Jinque.

After a day of tossing, the rest of them were exhausted.

At this time, there is no scenery of the Western Regions at all, only a vast expanse of night.

Among the group, Yu Qi'an came to look for the Big Dipper Star Bead, Li Chu came to protect the master, and Lao Du came to help Li Chu with his backpack. Wang Longqi hitched a ride to save the child's mother, and as for the little koi... Yu Qi'an decided to take it with him.

The old Taoist said that for such an important matter, you must bring the small koi, not to mention whether it is necessary, at least for auspiciousness.

"Go to the market tomorrow and buy a map of the countries of the Western Regions, then rent a mount and go straight to Bailang Kingdom." Lao Du planned, "Anyway, finding the star beads is a matter of chance, so why not go to Bailang Kingdom first?" Help Qi Shao handle things, so that he can rest assured."

"Yes." The old Taoist nodded in agreement.

Wang Longqi was quite touched, and said: "Guanzhu Yu, thank you so much. If this matter can really be done this time, I, Wang Longqi, swear to heaven that I will become brothers with different surnames and let you be my forever." Good brother!"

Before the old Taoist could speak, Durant quit, "Seventh Young Master, you are wrong. I treat you like a brother, but you want to treat me like a grandson?"

Wang Longqi blinked and said with a smile: "Then I, Li Chu, and you are all sworn brothers, and it's over. We are all brothers. You go back to the Taoist temple and talk about your own."

Old Du waved his hand: "Fuck you."

Just as I was talking about this, the proprietress over there came over to say hello again, "Handsome little Taoist priest, there are four of you over there, our room is ready, come quickly."

"Thank you, lady boss."

After saying thanks, Li Chu and the others went to their respective rooms.

As the proprietress said, the place where the guy lives is certainly not very big, but fortunately, it is clean and tidy, and it is not bad for a night.

Especially when I think of those guys who are huddling together in the woodshed to keep warm, I suddenly feel that this place is considered superior.

In addition, they were tired from tossing and tossing during the day, and the few of them soon fell asleep.

The moon fell into my heart.

After an unknown amount of time, a small thud suddenly sounded in the quiet night. It's like a frog jumping into a paddy field, it doesn't affect the tranquility of the night.

But Li Chu's eyes suddenly opened.

There is a monster.

This chapter seems to have no real content, but the next small plot needs at least 2,000 words to finish, so let's just start and write tomorrow.
