Chapter 213 Inn
Fang Lu stood in the queue and observed it and found that there seemed to be no need for any way to enter the city. The guards just took a look and let someone enter.
But it's certainly not that simple.
If you don’t check anything, why do you still need to queue up to enter and exit?
An outsider like him might not be able to enter the city.
Fang Lu's mind moved, but decided to try it. If it didn't work, he would find another way. He lined up with the crowd, and it only took some time to make it his turn.
The two guards immediately stopped Fang Lu and kept looking at Fang Lu. One of the guards said, "Where is your city?"
Fang Lu smiled and said, "Two brothers, I am not from Shencheng, I come from a very far place."
"Where?" asked the guard.
Fang Lu made up a random place and said that he was a traveler who just wanted to spend the night in Shencheng.
The two guards obviously had never heard of them. One of them said, "No matter where you come from, not the people of this city, you have to pay three-month copper coins when you enter the city and take out the money."
Three-money copper coins... Fang Lu cried: "I'm not afraid to tell the two elder brothers that I was looted on the way and I'm penniless now."
"Then you said you would spend the night in Shencheng? What's the use of entering the city if you don't have money?" The guard said impatiently, "Go away if you don't have money, you'll get angry. I'll cut you with one knife."
"Now, there are still people who dare to walk around, but the money was robbed and not killed, which is a miracle." His companion smiled sarcastically.
Fang Lu turned around and left, walked a long way and turned back. He circled around and reached a place where no one could see it. There was no place to rely on the city wall. It was not easy to climb up, but it was not difficult for him.
Fang Lu took out the combat armor, put it on, and then confirmed through the reconnaissance mode that there was no one on the other side of the city wall, he flew up with Xiao Hei.
After easily climbing over the city wall, Fang Lu landed quickly and immediately checked and confirmed that no one noticed it. Then he removed the armor and put away the armor.
It’s not that Fang Lu is reluctant to let go of three-month copper coins, but that he really doesn’t have copper coins.
After Fang Lu entered the city, he took Xiao Hei around. The streets he walked by were very cold, most of the shops were closed, and no one cared about the few stalls on the street.
Pedestrians were in a hurry on the street.
The lives of the people in Shencheng seem to be very bad.
Fang Lu came to a small stall of Shaobing. The middle-aged man with a bitter expression immediately shouted enthusiastically: "Celebrity, are you going to have a Shaobing?"
Fang Lu smiled and said, "I want it, but I just came to Shencheng and spent all my change. I wanted to ask where I can exchange silver for copper coins. After I exchange it for copper coins, I will definitely come to my brother to buy ten sesame cakes."
"I don't know how much the guest official wants. If there is a small amount, I can exchange it for you." The stall owner said with his eyes rolling.
"The quantity is not small, my brother will tell me where to exchange it." Fang Lu shook her head and said.
"You can find a pawnshop by turning the corner in front of the street. Just go there to exchange it." The stall owner said helplessly.
Afterwards, Fang Lu asked about the exchange price again, and the stall owner said it one by one.
Fang Lu thanked him and left. He went to the pawnshop, exchanged five taels of silver for 500 coins, and then returned to the Shaobing stall.
The stall owner Shaobing was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Fang Lu would come back. After all, Fang Lu might just be talking.
"How much does a Shaobing cost?"
"Three copper coins per penny, ten copper coins per penny."
Fang Lu spent three coins to buy ten sesame cakes. The stall owner smiled and said that it was not easy to make money these days.
Fang Lu bit the sesame cake. The sesame cake had a crispy smell of fire and it tasted good. "Brother, you know I'm from a foreign country. Do you know where there is an inn that can spend the night?"
"Inn." said the stall owner: "There were three inns in the city, but I also knew that people are hungry these days and don't have the money to go to the inn. Now we only have one inn here, but I suggest you not to go. If you are willing to give it, you can come to my house and give it five cents... no, just a three cent copper coin is enough."
Fang Lu asked curiously: "Why can't that inn go to?"
The stall owner said: "It's not that I want to earn your money from you, that inn is not expensive. It only costs seven cents of copper coins a night, and it is not expensive to eat. But the people who live there are all tourists who come to Shencheng to kill ghosts."
"Those people are not even willing to provoke the guards in the city. If they accidentally anger them, they will not even have their lives. Why go to wherever they go?"
"Ghost?" Fang Lu said in surprise: "There is a ghost in Shencheng?"
"It is normal for the guest official to not know." The stall owner sighed and said, "But don't worry, it's not in the city, but Dipo Village not far from the city. It is now haunted and everyone passing by is dead. There is no way in the city, so he can only go to the provincial capital to issue a reward, which has attracted many tourists from the world, and now they live in inns."
"Dipo Village is haunted, why do they stay in the inn to eat, stay and do? Shouldn't they go to Dipo Village to kill the genius?" Fang Lu did not explain.
The stall owner lowered his voice and said, "There are a group of tourists who have been there once, but those tourists who have suffered a crushing defeat and very few have returned alive. This is the second batch. I heard that they are waiting for people and then going after too many people."
Fang Lu pretended to be curious and asked: "What is the reward the government gave? These people know that it is so dangerous, but they don't want to give up?"
"I don't know, I heard it's a lot of gold." The stall owner said: "Brother, listen to my advice. The water is too deep, so don't go."
Fang Lu smiled and asked for the direction of the inn and left.
Fang Lu felt that this matter was indescribable. There could be no only ghosts in Shencheng in this world. Why did a group of tourists die in the world?
Is it really a reward for the government?
But looking at the scene in the city, the government may not have much money, so how much is willing to spend to eliminate the ghosts in Dipo Village?
Unless the ghosts in Dipo Village affect the safety of Shencheng, the government will try to destroy the ghosts in Dipo Village at any cost.
Fang Lu didn't think much about what happened. He had nothing to do with him. He was just a passerby in this small world. What he was more concerned about was whether he could learn about Wu Yu Dan from these tourists.
Fang Lu soon found the only inn in Shencheng, with lights on inside and people were talking and laughing loudly.
This inn is in sharp contrast with the deserted Shencheng.
Fang Lu walked into the inn and found that they were indeed some strong and rude men, drinking, eating meat and joking loudly.
Only a small amount of eyes fell on Fang Lu and quickly moved away.
Fang Lu walked towards the counter.
The shopkeeper thought that Fang Lu would turn around and leave immediately when he saw the inn at the door, but he didn't expect Fang Lu to come over. He hurriedly asked, "Call or stay?"
"Are there any room for accommodation and meals?" Fang Lu asked.
"Yes, there are two more." The shopkeeper replied.
Fang Lu asked for one of the guest rooms, and he asked the shopkeeper to bring him all the good food and food.
