Taoist is a bit salty

"Oh, wait and see." Qing Lu smiled and greeted the two young boys for dinner.

Although the two teenagers are both human in appearance, they are not serious when they look like monkeys.At least the guests who were eating at the same table looked at them with strange eyes.

All three were delicious meat, and at first they let go of their cheeks to eat, and the ones they ate were hearty.

It's just that the speed of the disc is too fast, which makes the guests at the surrounding tables show contemptuous expressions.

It's like watching a bunch of rednecks! !
How many years have you eaten meat?

In fact, the three of them just have a better appetite.

I eat in a hurry.

The meal finally came to an end, and the store owner had ordered the young man to come to ask for money, for fear that Qinglu and the three of them would be eating Bawang's meal.

There are all kinds of weird things these days, if you really encounter someone who eats the overlord's meal, you can only deal with it separately.

The young man stood firmly behind Qing Lu, as if waiting for her to pay.

"How much?" Qinglu asked.

"Eight thousand and five hundred yuan of spirit stones, all the odds are wiped off by you. Do you think it's time to settle the bill?" The boy looked at the three with a wary expression.

"Without Lingshi, can Shenjing take it?" Qinglu asked.

As soon as he heard that there were no spirit stones, the buddy almost jumped up, but fortunately Qinglu said the word Shenjing again.

He has never seen Shenjing, but the shopkeeper is said to have received it.

"Shenjing is also available. You take it out first." The man said uneasy.I wonder if the three of them have god crystals?
Qing Lu nodded, and directly threw a divine crystal the size of a soybean grain into the tray in his hand.Originally, the god crystals in Qinglu's hands were usually cast into standard god crystal blocks using divine tools.

Later, I found out, ahem, it doesn’t need to be that big.

Zhenji simply cast a batch of Shenjing bean paste the size of a soybean for her to use outside.It is also easy to find change on the tile surface.

"So small?" The man was suspicious.

"This is Shenjing, even if I take out a big piece, you won't be able to find it." Qing Lu said.

The little guy continued to be suspicious, this little thing is really worth more than 8000 Lingshi.At this time, the shopkeeper rushed over in a hurry.As soon as Qinglu took out the Shenjing, the shopkeeper saw it.No matter how young Shenjing is, she is still Shenjing. He is really a little bit, and he doesn't dislike it at all.

After carefully appraising it, it is the True God Crystal.Even if the size is a bit small, the shopkeeper is also happy.

"My lord, the purity of your god crystal is pretty good. One grain can be worth more than 1 spirit stones with me. In this way, I will get back your 500 yuan spirit stones, do you think it will work?" the shopkeeper said.

Qing Lu was a little surprised, how could she exchange so many spirit stones for such a small divine crystal?
"That's fine."

Sure enough, the spirit stones that the store took out were also small.

It was much smaller than the standard spirit stones she saw outside, only a quarter of those big spirit stones.As for the purity, it is almost the same as the ones outside.

So tiny! ! !
I didn't expect her to be smaller than others! !

Relatively speaking, she still made a profit. It is estimated that such a large Shenjing outside could not be exchanged for so many small Lingshi.

Of course, it is not excluded that those who are in urgent need will change.

Qing Lu accepted the spirit stone in dismay, and walked out of the store, only to find that the wind outside was blowing very loudly.There are too many small and light items on the street that are blown directly into the sky.

Not only was the wind strong, but the sky was also gloomy as if it was about to rain heavily.

I have to find a place to hide from the rain.

"Master, five hundred paces to the east, there is a pretty big inn, which looks pretty good." Yun Yan hurriedly introduced.

"You lead the way, let's go."

People who were blown by the strong wind could hardly keep their eyes open, and the patter of rain began to fall.

Under Yun Yan's guidance, Qing Lu simply took the two young boys into an inn on a relatively high ground.The location where the inn was built was on a high terrain, and the ground floor was a three- to four-foot-high stone platform.

On the stone platform, a five-storey tall building of stone, brick and wood was built.The overall architectural style is high-profile and luxurious, very in the style of the sea people.

When Qing Lu led people into the first floor of the inn, she found that many people were already stranded in the lobby.

Some people were looking for a house to live in, and some people ran in to hide from the rain.

Everyone is talking about the wind and rain outside.

Telling about the impact and expected loss on oneself.

Qinglu listened carefully, and heard something like a big storm that hadn't happened in 60 years.

What sea water may pour into the market or something.

"Go to your counter and book three rooms. We will rest here today." Qinglu assigned Yundou to work.

Yundou immediately went to book a room, and he returned soon after.

"I booked three suites on the fifth floor. The three suites in a row are all next to each other and have a shared balcony. However, the price is also expensive. Three suites cost three thousand spirit stones in one night. I directly pressed two The divine crystal beans given by the master."

Qinglu nodded in satisfaction.

"The female manager at the counter over there said that this big storm will last at least seven or eight days. When the big storm passes through the border, there will be not only strong winds, but also heavy rain. If there is all water outside, it is difficult for us to leave. Why don't we book ten Day, wait for the water to recede before leaving. So we’d better stay in the store for a few more days. So I booked a room for ten days.”

"It makes sense." Qing Lu nodded and said.

The young man who is the guide servant has complicated eyes.

Can he say that his female manager is a sales pitch?
Absolutely not.

As soon as they entered the suite on the fifth floor, it was raining heavily outside the window.

The rainwater pouring down from the Tianhe River flooded the streets below at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then the water continued to rise, gradually submerging pedestrians' ankles.

Less than an hour later, someone shouted, "The water is coming up, the water is coming up."

When Qing Lu walked to the window, she saw the sea water rushing in, and soon half of the surrounding first-floor houses were submerged.All kinds of seafood shyly drifted in the sea water.The new place makes them a little strange, a little cramped.

The sea water rose so fast that it didn't take long to cover the first floor of some houses.There are also some simple houses that were directly submerged in the sea water or pushed and collapsed in the sea water.

The door attendant gently knocked on the door, and brought three pots of hot milk tea.

"This season here, there are big storms every year, and the seawater floods the first and second floors often. We have taken good protection, and the entire building of the inn is embedded with a large number of protective formations. Even if the seawater is rising now, our floor There is not a drop of water on the inner layer.

All guests are at ease. "

Qing Lu suddenly realized that she was here to comfort herself and others not to panic.

"Won't it flood to the fifth floor?" Qing Lu asked.

"Up to three floors at most, and the fourth floor has never been submerged." The attendant said frankly.

"I can rest assured that."

Seeing that the guests expressed their peace of mind, the attendants left here and went to other rooms to comfort the guests.Qing Lu didn't know how many people lived in this building, and there were indeed many formations inside and outside the house, and she didn't like wasting divine energy.

But without Shenjing's investigation, wouldn't she go out and take a look?

When Qing Lu went down to the first floor alone, she found that the door was still open.

Even a few side doors started.A large amount of sea water roared and flowed through the formation in front of the door.

A few residents also took their fishing rods with great interest and threw them into the seawater to get a catch.

At this time, what can you fish for?

Can't you catch loneliness?

Lonely didn't catch it, but a man covered in injuries was washed into the gate of the inn by the water.Qing Lu clearly saw that the opponent was approaching the formation at the gate, suddenly there was a flicker on his body, and then he flashed into the interior of the inn.

"It's Mr. Ding, come here quickly. Call the doctor quickly." The female steward at the counter shouted palely.

Soon someone carried that Mr. Ding away.

Then every so often, a few more people were drawn in from the sea water.

All of them were covered in cuts and bruises, looking as if they were about to die.

Unsurprisingly, they were all acquaintances at the inn, and the female steward behind the counter turned pale with horror.From being calm and calm at the beginning, it has become pale and frightened now.

After getting involved with seven or eight big living creatures, Qing Lu waited for a long time but no one got involved again.

She simply went back to sleep.

Qing Lu didn't get up until noon the next day.

As a result, when I looked outside at this time, the strong wind and heavy rain were still blowing, and the sea water had indeed covered the second floor and began to evolve towards the third floor.

The main building of the inn made a slight creaking sound, as if it could hardly bear the load.

In fact, where it is difficult to bear the load, it is obviously because of the various pressures and impacts brought by the external sea water, which is somewhat unbearable.

At this time, there are not many buildings still standing on the interface.

About one-tenth of the original.

Other buildings collapsed under some inexplicable impact.

There are a lot of messy breaths floating under the sea water.

It's hard to tell what's inside.

Such windy and rainy days really lasted for a full five days.

The big storm is gradually weakening, completely disappearing in their area.

However, the rising sea water is difficult to descend for a while.

Still need to wait a few days before being able to retreat.

This time the sea water only penetrated the second and a half floors, as expected, there were no houses that penetrated the third floor.

Seeing the storm pass, the tenants on the first and second floors rushed to the counter to demand their money back.

They hand over the room for a good house.When this big storm comes, there will always be eyes staring at you outside the window every day and night, and there will be weird things constantly swimming from one end to the other. What kind of oppressive feeling is this?

What the hell house.

So everyone ran to ask for a reduction of the room fee as a mental damage fee.

It's a pity that the inn is worse than them. If you want money, you will die.

Anyway, no refund.

The two sides had a lot of quarrels, and in the end they didn't know who mediated, although they reconciled.But something strange happened.

Although the inn promised to reduce the room rate by half, the guests on the first and second floors did not continue to stay and checked out one after another.Before anyone went down, they left by boat.

In another three to five days, some people entered the inn to find someone, asking their relatives or friends.

Only then did everyone know that all the tenants of the rooms on the first and second floors who left at that time returned to their homes and all disappeared.

When those who came to find someone asked, the people in the inn said they didn't know.Anyway, those people have left, and many tenants who are still staying in the inn know and have seen it.

As long as you leave the inn, the inn will take care of it.

When Qing Lu left with the two little monkeys, she saw another guest who had lived on the second floor planning to leave with her relatives and friends who had come to look for her.

On the forehead of the other party, a gray mark was clearly marked.

But he and his relatives didn't find out at all.

The people in the inn acted as if they did not exist, and let them leave after paying the full rent.

The two little monkeys wanted to leave with their team, but they were caught by Qing Lu. "Go, go and eat before leaving."

After Qinglu and the others were full, they left, and saw not far from the gate, where the daughter of a previous guest was crying.There were also people watching around.

It turned out that not long after they walked out of the inn, the little girl's father and other relatives and friends walked into a gray mist, and then disappeared.The little girl was the only one who woke up by herself and didn't step into the gray fog at the last moment.

At this time, the gray fog had disappeared, and she had no clues to find someone, so she could only stay where she was and cry helplessly.

She couldn't even ask for help in this market.

Qing Lu led the two little monkeys across each other and left.

As Yundou walked, he transmitted his voice to his master. "Master, why did that group of people disappear?"

"In the inn we stayed in, there was something squatting outside the building. But during heavy wind and rain, those who lived on the floors submerged by sea water were marked by it. As long as they come out, they will be eaten." Qinglu only Direct voice transmission to Yundou: "The inn was very protective of the guests at the beginning, and tried hard to erase those marks, but then they didn't know what happened, and they gave up their efforts. As a result, the marked guests all gone."

Yun Dou was startled when he heard that.

How can it be like this?

"What the hell is going on??"

"They didn't want us to know, and I'm not willing to investigate." Qing Lu said.The investigation has to go back in time, which will consume Shenjing.Especially going back in time, it consumes seven or eight divine crystals every day.

I don't want to waste it.

"I always feel a little weird." Yun Dou said.

"If there is fate, we will always meet in the future." Qing Lu said.Anyway, she has low resources now, so she doesn't want to work hard anymore, she just wants to wait for the rations to drop from the sky.As long as the quality is good, she doesn't mind no matter what it looks like.

As long as you can eat it.Taste almost she agreed.

The sea water receded completely, and a large number of hawkers appeared on the street from nowhere.

They yelled hard one by one.

Qing Lu stopped when she was walking.The hawker selling wild dragon eggs that I saw that day appeared again.

This time he placed a large pile of hill-like eggs of various patterns and sizes on the fabric of his stall.

Qinglu saw it, and rushed over excitedly.

Those balls, she felt that some of them were destined for her, hahaha.

As soon as she moved, the two young boys followed suit.
