Chapter 481: Desert Lonely Smoke
Returning to Changling, we came in a hurry and went quickly.
There are not many old friends left in Changling County. Pang Shilong, the county magistrate who had been on the battlefield together, has also been promoted to work as a job in Langya County. Many of the colleagues from other county government offices have survived. Many of them have made a fortune and left Changling County. Some of them were injured and returned to their hometown to retire.
In short, there were not many real old friends, and they were all gone. As for those who could be remembered by Gu Qingci, he quietly went to see them and did not disturb them from leaving.
At the beginning, he was just a county magistrate, and his identity gap was not that big, which made him feel many different emotions. He only wanted this emotion to be kept in his heart forever and did not want to be destroyed by a meeting or a "marquis".
After only one day staying in Changling County, Gu Qingci rushed to the depths of the desert. He had been delayed by deliberately coming to Changling County before. Although he knew that the Langya Sword Sect was in Langya County, he did not rush there. It was meaningless. Not only did he waste time, he could not see Liu Yiqing.
Mo Lanying said that she saw a corner of the future.
Mo Lanying said that she didn't want Liu Yiqing to die, which means that the future she saw was Liu Yiqing who died in this battle between the righteous and the demons.
Gu Qingci believed Mo Lanying's words because he knew very well that this battle between the righteous and the demons was just a formality in the eyes of the righteous and the demons. However, due to the reason of Ksitigarbha, the battle between the righteous and the demons may suffer a great loss.
The white jade carriage, replaced by camels, set out from Changling County and headed towards the yellow sand all over the sky.
On the tenth day of August, after several days of wind and dining in the open, I finally found an oasis in the desert.
In the past ten days, Gu Qingci has seen the harsh environment of the desert, with wind and sand all day long and the sun is poisonous. Fortunately, they have prepared in advance and have complete supplies, which has avoided the embarrassment.
After entering the oasis, the environment here suddenly became clear. In this world full of golden yellow, it seemed like a piece of jade. Although the vegetation here is still not very good, it is already valuable.
There is a small town in this oasis called Qiandeng Town, which is very simple. Even the inns and restaurants look like they have not been repaired for many years and may collapse at any time. However, although this town is not big, it is full of internal organs and is full of business.
When you enter the town, you will be covered with noise, people coming and going, there are locomotives, and there are groups of people. All kinds of people appear very crowded in this town. Due to the wind and sand, many people are covered with veils on their faces. Therefore, Gu Qingci and dozens of people came in, but they were not very conspicuous.
"Young Master," Lei Ying walked beside Gu Qingci and said, "This is the only oasis in a radius of hundreds of miles. Over the years, merchants and people traveling around the world have more and more people resting here, so this town has emerged here. This time, because of the battle between the righteous and the demons, the town is even more lively. However, don't look at it, it is actually still very large, and everything is available."
Gu Qingci nodded and said, "This is normal. As long as there are business opportunities, no matter how bad the environment is, there will definitely be someone to do business. Moreover, for practitioners, the environment is a little harsh and there is nothing to accept. However, this kind of place still lacks order and is very chaotic."
Lei Ying nodded. He was a scattered person in the world and knew the nature of these places very well.
At this moment, a Xingtianwei came over in front of the street and bowed: "Young Master, there are too many martial arts people coming to Qiandeng Town during this period, and there are no inns available. We had to find several inns to barely get enough for everyone to live in."
Gu Qingci waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm not a spoiled young man, I just need to have a place to live."
After a while, Xing Tianwei took Gu Qingci and his party to the edge of Qiandeng Town. A not very good inn, with two floors, a flag at the door, and a large wine word flying in the wind.
Fortunately, although the inn is simple, it is still clean.
Gu Qingci was very satisfied. He untied his veil and walked in first. He saw that there were many people in the inn, some of whom were three or two at a table, talking and drinking wine, while others were eating dishes silently alone and drinking a small sip of wine from time to time. The entire inn was obviously filled with dusty people, but they were as quiet as when the old scholar in the village lecture hall was giving lectures.
This scene surprised Gu Qingci a little. The waiter who was pouring tea was a person with vision. He could see Gu Qingci's doubts at a glance and explained quietly: "Young Master, there are more than a dozen disciples of Xuannv Palace living upstairs and are resting. The following guests are worried that they will affect the female heroes, so they are all deliberately careful."
Gu Qingci smiled slightly. The waiter was intentional. He was deliberately reminding him that the people living in the inn were from Xuannv Palace, so he would pay attention. Xuannv Palace is a member of the seven sects and eight sects in the world. There are many rules, and they are arrogant and arrogant. If they are not careful, they will offend them.
The three most powerful female sects in the world, except for Qixiufang, who are businessmen and have a good temper, the disciples of the other two sects are famously not easy to mess with. Moreover, they are all women, with small minds and are also the easiest to offend.
The waiter deliberately reminded Gu Qingci because there are many young men from aristocratic families in the world. When they see the fairies of Xuannv Palace and Cihang Jianzhai, they are prone to lose their composure and lead to conflicts.
Gu Qingci smiled faintly, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I understand. I have someone to clean up the room and prepare for orders of food."
"Okay." The waiter bowed and said, "I'll go and arrange it now."
Because Xing Tianwei came to say hello in advance, the inn was ready, and not long after, the food was brought up.
Because the inn was a little crowded, Gu Qingci and his group were left with five or six people, besides him and Lei Ying. The inn did not have many meals to prepare and they were very fast.
Just as Gu Qingci was having a meal, he heard someone beside him whispering: "Two days ago, news came from Fengmanlou that the leader of the Qingyang Wulin League Gu Qingshi actually held the ancient legendary armor of Tiefutu in his hand. It is said that several great cultivators in Kuaiji killed the people of the Qingyang Wulin League. The leader of the League Gu found out, and led Tiefutu to chase after him for thousands of miles, killing all the great cultivators."
