Beiyin Great Sage Chapter 47

  Chapter 47 Visitation

  The censer rises and curls green smoke.

   An unknown musical instrument played a pleasant sound.

   Elaborately made snacks are neatly placed on exquisite porcelain plates.

  Red jam, white cream, and fresh fruit are dotted in the middle. Not to mention the attractive appearance, the tangy aroma alone makes people salivate.

  Through the window sill surrounded by branches and flowers, you can see children playing and laughing on the street, as well as the slow pedestrians.

   "This is the inner city!"

  Dai Lei's voice was full of emotion, and her eyes were complicated.

  Compared with the chaotic, dangerous, and indifferent environment of the outer city, the peaceful atmosphere of the inner city is like two worlds.

Do not!

   Not like.

  Separated by a wall, there are two worlds!

  People in the outer city live in fear every day. Even the nobles in the eastern city sometimes lose their heads for no reason.

   And the inner city.

  With the Huo Mansion in charge, no one dares to make trouble here.

  Even the leaders of the Yulonghui, Liurentang, and Heilian must be honest, but they all have their own residences in the inner city.

   "Yes." Zhou Jia also expressed emotion:

   "It's no wonder that Situ Lei is so obsessed with the house in the inner city. After entering the inner city, he no longer has to live a life of fighting and killing."

  A house in the inner city can be described as a radish and a pit. Unless the former owner is dead, otherwise, even if you have money, you can't buy it.

   "The inner city is really good, at least relatively safe." Chen Hui nodded and stretched out her hand to signal:

   "Eat, try the snacks here. This food cost me an Origin Stone. I don't know when I will come next time."

"Um."

   The two nodded and tasted desserts.

   I haven't tasted sweets for several months, and I revisited this sweet taste again.

  Especially Dai Lei.

  Since she went to the Yulong Club, she has worked hard every day these days, and has never had a full meal. She has almost forgotten what sweetness is like.

  Today is the day when Dai Lei and Zhou Jia made an appointment to visit Chen Hui in the inner city.

  The three of them rarely get together, and the situations are different.

  Dai Lei specially wore gorgeous clothes to adorn herself, but the wrinkles on her face, the calluses on her hands, and the fatigue in her eyes were hard to cover up.

   These all show that her life is not easy.

   Zhou Jia became more and more calm. He was not good at speaking, and he was always vigilant about the surrounding environment, and he never dared to relax.

  Only Chen Hui.

   Still in high spirits, with vivid eyes, full of curiosity about everything here, only slightly sad when mentioning the earth.

  The difference in environment between the inner city and the outer city also changes them.

  In just a few months, it is completely different.

   "What are your future plans?" Chen Hui looked at the two of them while eating snacks.

   "Plan?" Dai Lei held a bean cake in one hand, she had already lost the temperament of an urban beauty, curled her lips when she heard this, swallowed the dessert in her mouth, and said:

   "Does it count as living?"

"certainly…"

  Her voice paused slightly, and there seemed to be a slight change in her eyes:

  "If possible, I want to live a better life and not be bullied anymore."

   "Me too." Zhou Jia smiled lightly:

   "Live well, live as long as you can, see if you can meet people from the earth again, it is best to go back."

   "Well, on the basis of surviving, become stronger."

  Going back to the place where he came from is an obsession in his heart. Even though he knows that the hope is slim, he is unwilling to give up.

   "Where are you?" Dai Lei looked at Chen Hui:

   "Cheng Qi has been gone for a few months, what's your plan?"

   "I..." Chen Hui lowered her head.

  Cheng Qi's death was also a blow to her. Although the other party was at fault, the two had good times together.

  In fact, in her heart, she had planned to forgive Cheng Qi.

  But before she could express her intentions, news of Cheng Qi's death came.

   Seeing Chen Hui's expression, Dai Lei pursed her lips.

   Facing a friend who hadn't changed or even looked younger than before, she couldn't suppress her jealousy, so she deliberately mentioned Cheng Qi.

   "Stop talking about it." Zhou Jia shook his head, changed the subject and said:

   "I heard Mr. Huo is married to Miss Qian, will you go to Huo's mansion too?"

   "No." Chen Hui shook her head:

   "It's not so easy to enter the Huo Mansion. The reason why the housekeeper chose me and Rong Rong was actually to recruit temporary workers."

   "Fortunately, Ms. Qian misses the old days. After leaving the mansion, she still let us stay in the original house and do some cleaning errands, but the monthly payment is a little less."

   "There used to be two origin stones, but now there is one."

   The corners of Dai Lei's mouth twitched slightly.

  She worked hard for a day, but only had 20 origin stones, only half a month of origin stones, and she was often bullied.

"correct."

  Recalling one incident, Chen Hui was shocked:

   "When Ms. Qian got married, she gave each of us five Origin Stones as happiness money, and asked Sister Cuizhu to teach the door-origin technique."

   "I'm now a second grade!"

"Ah…"

  Dai Lei's shoulders collapsed, and she rolled her eyes:

   "You're so lucky, I'm dying of jealousy."

   "Hee hee..." How can Chen Hui not understand the thoughts of a good sister, but the joy in her heart can only be shared by two people, and she doesn't mind.

  She was also jealous of Dai Lei's figure.

   "Miss Qian is nice to people, and she told us a lot of things."

  Holding her chin up, Chen Hui's eyes flickered:

   "I heard that in the distance, there is a place called Hongze Waters. There are many human races living there, and it is far safer than here."

   "If I have any plans for the future, it should be going there."

   "Hongze waters?" Zhou Jia was thoughtful.

  Although Chen Hui's cultivation level is not high, she lives in the inner city and has some relationship with the Huo Mansion, so her vision surpasses others at certain times.

At least.

  He never thought about leaving Huojiabao and going to other places.

   "Where are you?" Chen Hui looked at Zhou Jia:

   "I heard that you also joined the Ichthyosaur Society?"

   "Yes." Zhou Jia nodded:

   "I work in a mine. Something happened to the mine recently. I don't need to go there for the time being. I don't know what I will do next."

   "It's not bad." Dai Lei said:

   "I heard Zhao Gang say that you have made great contributions, and you will definitely be promoted this time. Maybe the mine will be handed over to you in the future."

   Zhou Jia shook his head.

  This possibility is unlikely. After all, he has just joined the Fish and Dragon Society, and the elders lack trust in him. There is a high probability that he will be transferred.

  No matter what, it is best to get a raise.

   On the way back, Zhou Jia went to the refining equipment shop.

  What he wanted has already been built.

   "Your ax has been hammered and some materials have been added, making it harder and sharper than before. The handle is one meter and two fen long, the blade is one foot, and the total weight is fifty-three catties. It is the best of the low grade."

  Imported weapons are roughly divided into upper, middle and lower classes in Huojiabao. They are not all classified according to power, but also depend on price and materials used.

  Zhou Jia bumped the ax in his hand. Compared with the original one, it was one size smaller after tempering, but it was easier to hold and the weight was appropriate.

  Fifty-three catties, it sounds a bit heavy.

  However, he uses a shield and doesn't know much about footwork or flexibility. Naturally, the heavier the better, and the lethality of chopping monsters like this is relatively greater.

"The material of this shield is wind and thunder wood, which contains the power of lightning. It is actually an excellent wood. Unfortunately, it is seriously damaged. I can only give you a rough repair here. If you want to bless it, you need to go to the inner city ancient hammer shop."

  The shopkeeper handed over the thickened shield again, and said:

   "After modification, there will be more chances to trigger lightning in the future, but this kind of electricity can only be effective for people of the third rank or below."

   "Stronger people..., except in special circumstances, are almost unaffected."

   "Chenghui, sixteen Origin Stones!"
