Chapter 40 The suggestion of the man in white robe
When I said this, the man in white still maintained a heartwarming smile, but I always felt that the sentence was said to me alone, which means that I would violate the rules. Will I give me a warning?
I was quite helpless, but there was no way. Who told me to see through that I came from disguise? Who would have been guarded against such people?
Think about it, I am really brave. There are so many experts in the market. Since I can see through my disguise, other experts may not be able to do so, but how can I take care of so many? It is more important to find my senior brother and sister first!
I was thinking about my own thoughts, while the man in the white robe was busy allocating the rooms. He seemed to have full trust in everyone. For those who said they knew the place, he usually let those people go to their own rooms.
After the monk and Mr. Su said goodbye to me and went to my room, I was the only one who was not arranged.
"Let's go, I know it's your first time to come to the market, or to enter the cave for the first time." The man in white robe still walked in front of me with his smile.
The simple words made me shocked, and was it also seen?
The man in white robe seemed to have no intention of explanation and walked straight towards a certain direction. I had no choice but to follow him. He didn't explain, but I would ask: "How do you know that it was my first time here?"
The man in white robe did not look back, his voice was gentle but like the spring breeze in March: "My talent may be average in terms of practice. But I have a special ability, which is to remember people's eyes. To be precise, it is not only a simple face, but also a breath I will remember once I come across it."
When I said the last sentence, the man in white robe stopped and turned to look at me. His face was still smiling, but he felt that he felt more distance than the cold face that attracted people, because he was even more incomprehensible and could not get close to me.
I looked at him and didn't know what to say for a moment. Of course, I wouldn't believe in his practice that was just such a normal thing.
The man in white robe just smiled and added: "For so many years, I have always been the one who is responsible for the reception of distinguished guests in the cave, so I feel that you are a little strange."
After saying this, the man in white robe walked straight forward again, and I could only keep up again, but at this time, my heart was no longer a helpless feeling, but a vague but exciting thought appeared in my mind.
I wasn't sure about the consequences of saying it, but I had to give it a try, so I called the man in white robe.
He turned around with a smile, but there was a look of confusion in his eyes.
"Me" I hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to say it out loud: "I want you to do a favor?"
"We do not participate in any guest's activities, and we will not pay attention to the relationships or grudges between guests. We are not responsible for anything except rules. Please forgive me for not helping you." The man in the white robe refused very gently, which made people have no temper at all, but it also made people have no hope at all. He didn't even let me say what I wanted to help.
This person is as I feel, although he looks gentle, but he is more indifferent than the cold-hearted person.
Actually, I just heard of his ability and asked him to help me find where my fellow brothers and sisters are. Although it was a little abrupt and the consequences were a little unpredictable, it was not too difficult, right? At least I can be sure whether they are in the cave area.
After being rejected, the man in white robes and I were silent all the way. He walked in front and I followed behind. I didn't know how many turns along the way, but I hadn't reached where I lived yet.
But I didn't care at all where I lived, even if they arranged a dilapidated house for me.
In fact, the "scenery" on the street diverted my attention. The houses on both sides were actually various shops, and the things sold were all kinds of. Combined with this antique building, I felt like I was dreaming about returning to the Tang and Song dynasties. It was the most desirable era in China.
But it is not entirely true, because in addition to medicinal materials, these shops mostly buy and sell some things that practitioners need. Will normal Tang and Song markets sell these things?
But no matter what, walking in it, I feel like I have been separated from the present world.
"Actually, if you can pay a certain fee or price, you can also temporarily own such a shop, so that it will be more convenient for you to buy and sell things or collect information. These shopping streets will be open from 9:00 to 12:00 in the morning and from 3:00 to 6:00 in the afternoon. It will be lively at that time. If you are interested, you can also take a walk." The man in the white robe turned around and probably saw that I was interested in the shops on the street, so he explained to me.
"Can the tent area come up to rent shops?" I asked. If this is true, then we have to take a good look. Maybe they will rent a shop?
"They can't. They have their own trading area. VIPs can go down to their trading area. They can also pay a certain fee, but they cannot rent the shops here. In fact, the specific rules are a booklet in your room. "The white-robed man usually answers my questions in detail, but in fact he doesn't give me the chance to ask the next question at all.
During the conversation, the house that belonged to me arrived soon. The location was pretty good. Behind it was one of the commercial streets. You could see the three huge statues from the front. In this way, it was still considered the "golden position" here? Since I was prepared for me, why should I treat me so preferentially? I can't understand.
The man in white robe pushed open the door of my room and I walked in. The whole room was simply decorated but antique. Like the appearance of the house, it was full of the style of the Tang and Song dynasties, beds, seats, and screens, and everything was achieved in the details, completely imitating that era.
Could it be that the Snow Mountain lineage has existed since the Tang and Song dynasties? I wondered, but this is obviously impossible to ask.
When I was looking at the house, the man in white robe had already walked to the door. I thought that according to his personality, he would not say a word of nonsense to me, but he didn't want to walk to the door. He suddenly stopped and looked at me with a smile.
"There is something else?" I asked with my eyebrows.
"If I were you, I might have gone out less unless it was a special situation." The man in white robe said something to me inexplicably.
I narrowed my eyes and asked, "Why?"
"The market is a grand event in the world of cultivators. Generally, after three days, cultivators who come here will reach a peak. It is not an exaggeration to think about it. There are so many people and eyes, so if you go out, it will be meaningless to disguise." The smile on the face of the man in the white robe seemed to be more sincere.
But I was amazed, there are so many 100,000 people? But compared with the population of this planet, there are very few 100,000 people. Even if the gathering here is not all of the cultivators, it is somewhat a representative of the number. It seems that compared with some eras, practitioners are indeed gradually declining.
However, at the same time, I also understood the meaning of the man in the white robe. He really kindly reminded me, and there was something in his words.
I was not a fool, so I asked directly: "What is the special situation?"
The man in white robe tilted his head slightly, and said in a naive way: "Does everyone look for different people? If you are looking for someone, you must not miss tomorrow. Tomorrow is the fourth day, and the number of people here has reached its peak. Then, according to the rules, a fish jumping roar gate meeting will be held. Of course, the specific rules are explained, you can look at the booklet placed at the bedside."
After saying this, the man in white robe was about to leave, but how could I let him leave like this?
"Why do you need to help me?" I asked loudly. It was a bit strange that I helped me even though I knew I was pretending.
"If you think I am kind, why do you have to know the reason? If you need a reason, it's very simple. You came in disguise, obviously to avoid something, but we have been peaceful here for too long and will not allow anything outside the rules to appear, that's it." The man in the white robe replied without missing a trace.
"But why do you remind me how to find someone?" I think the question I asked was very idiotic, but I had to ask. If the Snow Mountain lineage had the intention to help me, my affairs and even my situation would change.
"Are you looking for someone? Oh, I only knew." The man in white robe looked innocent, and then a smile hung on his face again. But no matter how I looked at him, he felt a bit cunning.
He left, and I stood in the room a little blankly, always thinking that my life was so good, and I met strange people and things again. After being bored for nearly a minute, I remembered the rules at the head of the bed.
