The cannon fodder female partner becomes a god by practicing involution

Chapter 255 Unreasonable Things

After arriving in Huoli City for more than half a year, all the monks who live in the city have recognized Shen Qingluo, and the innkeeper is no exception.

Seeing the Lord of Dan Qing Que coming at this moment, the shopkeeper was a little surprised, and he quickly stepped forward to greet him and bowed respectfully.

"Senior, what are your orders when you come to the shop?"

Shen Qingluo said bluntly: "Is there food in the inn that is specially provided for mortals and does not contain spiritual energy?"

"Uh," the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, "Yes, senior, what are you doing?"

He also understood the situation of Dan Qing Que. This senior was the only one in the palace. How could such a good person want food from a mortal?
Because of doubts in his heart, the shopkeeper subconsciously asked, and then immediately realized that such behavior was probably taboo.

For a moment, there was some anxiety on his face, but Shen Qingluo didn't pay attention to these details.

The little girl was probably a commoner in the city. The innkeeper had been here for many years and should have known a lot of people. He might know her origins, so he simply said:

"Not long ago, a girl fainted in front of the Danqing Palace. I checked and found that she was fainting from hunger. There is no human food in the palace, so I came here to have a look and prepare to buy some food to go back."

Seeing that she was not angry, the shopkeeper felt relieved and said, "Senior, wait a moment, I'll get someone ready immediately."

With that said, the shopkeeper waved to the waiter, called him over, and gave a few instructions. The waiter quickly left and went to the back kitchen of the inn.

While waiting, Shen Qingluo continued: "Since I came to Huoli City, I have been busy refining elixirs and maintaining the operation of the industry, so I haven't paid much attention to the people in the city. Does the shopkeeper know what the life of mortals in the city is like? Are they generally miserable? "

"Reporting back to my predecessors, this is not the case. Although the environment in Huoli City is harsh and crops cannot grow, the city lord's palace sends out a large amount of food supplies every year. If nothing else, there is absolutely no shortage of convenient food.

For monks, one or two spiritual stones can buy a lot of food for mortals, and no one will make a fuss about it.

Moreover, the continuation of Huoli City cannot be separated from these mortals. They have lived here and multiplied for generations. If there are people with spiritual roots among the descendants, they will be connected to the city lord's mansion and cultivated from an early age.

Nowadays, most of the monks in the mansion come here like this. Although the overall strength of the monks in Huoli City is not high, they occupy a large area, and the total number of mortals in the city is almost one million.

Every six years, the City Lord's Mansion will organize a spiritual root test. There are sometimes a dozen children with spiritual roots, and sometimes there are dozens.

I used to be one of them, but unfortunately my qualifications were too poor to break through the foundation building and I couldn't bear the hardships of cultivation. Therefore, after applying to the deacon of the mansion, I left the city lord's mansion and came to this inn to work as a shopkeeper and spend my days leisurely. Just killing time. "

At this point, the shopkeeper realized that the topic had gone too far and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Senior, please forgive me. I talk a lot, and I can't take it back."

Shen Qingluo said with a hint of a smile: "It doesn't matter, I have never heard of the news you mentioned before, so you can go on."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper felt slightly refreshed and continued: "Most of the people in Huoli City live in the west of the city. The city lord's palace will send people to inspect regularly. If any house is short of food, it will be replenished immediately.

As for the houses and residences, if they see that they are too dilapidated and about to collapse, they will help repair them. Anyway, for monks, it only takes one or two sticks of incense to build a house.

Most of the monks in the mansion were born in this city, so they are not as indifferent to the mortals here as they are in the outside world. Overall, the monks and mortals get along very harmoniously.

Senior, you said that the little girl fainted from hunger. I'm really curious. Logically speaking, such a situation should not happen in the city unless she was abused. "After saying this, the waiter came over with a tray full of food.

There were no guests in the inn now. The innkeeper hesitated for a moment, looked at the girl with gentle eyebrows, and said bluntly: "With your permission, senior, I would like to go there with you."

This was exactly what Shen Qingluo wanted. She nodded and agreed. At the same time, she took out a few low-grade spiritual stones and used them as the cost of buying food.

When the shopkeeper saw it, he waved his hands repeatedly.

"Senior, it's just some food for mortals, no need for spiritual stones at all."

After hearing this, Shen Qingluo put the spirit stones he took out directly on the table next to him, "I didn't bring any money, and I can't take the food for nothing. Let's just leave it like that. To me, these spirit stones are nothing."

After saying this, she waved her sleeves, put away the food handed by the waiter, turned around and walked out of the inn.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he quickly gave instructions to the waiter to keep an eye on the inn, and he immediately followed the girl.

Not long after, the two came to the gate of Danqing Palace.

Pushing open the door and walking into the house, Shen Qingluo waved his sleeves and took out the food he had just put into the storage bag. He was about to cast a spell to wake up the little girl. At this moment, the shopkeeper hesitantly said:
"I seem to have seen her somewhere before, let me think about it. By the way, about twenty-six years ago, when I was still in the City Lord's Mansion, I once went out on a mission and met this little girl in Flame Ridge."

Hearing this, Shen Qingluo looked at the shopkeeper with suspicion.

"You mean twenty-six years ago? Her bone age is only ten years old, and she was not born at all twenty-six years ago. How could you have seen her then? Is it just a mistake of recognition because of similar appearance?"

Even if you are reincarnated, your appearance will not be the same as in your previous life. This is the default rule of heaven.

The shopkeeper affirmed: "You can't be wrong, senior, you see, there is a striking crescent birthmark under the corner of her right eye. There are many people with similar looks, but after all, there are only a few with birthmarks on their faces, especially since the birthmarks are in exactly the same location."

The memory of monks is generally very good, and they basically have photographic memory, so Shen Qingluo did not doubt this description.

"When you met her, did you observe her bone age? How old was she specifically?"

"Um, he seems to be ten years old too?"

The shopkeeper recalled it carefully and his tone became unbelievable. He looked at the little girl a few more times to make sure he recognized the right person. Goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body and he subconsciously took a step back.

"Senior, she. The person I saw back then was indeed her, but twenty-six years have passed. Under normal circumstances, her bone age should be thirty-six. I...impossible, this..."

At the end of the sentence, the shopkeeper was a little incoherent.

"Don't panic!"

Shen Qingluo interrupted him, and after he calmed down a little, he continued to ask: "Flame Ridge is outside Huoli City, which means she is not necessarily a citizen of the city?"

"Yes!" The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, "I have never seen her in the city before, and the children of any family are more than twenty years old. It's as if time has stopped on her."

"Can the shopkeeper describe the specific circumstances of meeting her in Flame Ridge?"
