Comprehension era

Today's winter is very cold, and on New Year's Day, there is a light snowfall, covering the whole city in severe cold.

At the subway exit in the south of the city, a young man wearing a padded jacket and carrying a backpack stepped out of the subway steps, and was immediately surrounded by a group of tricycles and motorcycles.

"Where is the handsome guy going?"

"Can the soft homeland go? Ten yuan."

"Brother, come with me, where can I live comfortably?" There were also a few gorgeously dressed women who wore short leather skirts in winter and winked at the young man.

The young man ignored these solicitors. He walked through the crowd, carrying the backpack in his hand, and walked straight to the convention and exhibition center near the subway entrance.

It has been two days since the trade fair started, I don't know if it will be too late to rush now.

Ever since Dong Canghai came out of the police station, he has been entangled by Fatty Wang, the director of the small factory. In desperation, Dong Canghai had to settle the arrears problem first.

He spent almost all of this month to make money.The way to make money is also very simple - catch ghosts.

The two love spiders in Dongcanghai can trap ghosts with silk. This month, the two poor little spiders have been exhausted. They have to be released almost every two days to catch ghosts and make money desperately.

As for the ghosts caught by Dong Canghai, he has no way to solve them. Finding Hongdao to save them is expensive, and the Devil's Crying Stone can't absorb them, so he can only put those ghosts and spider webs into glass vials and store them first. I'll talk about it later.

Because the last ghost was a bit vicious, it took Dong Canghai a lot of effort to catch it. After this trouble was solved, the fair had already started for two days.

This time, due to time constraints, Dong Canghai didn't have time to prepare too much when he came to the trade fair. He just put some things he thought necessary in his backpack with the idea of ​​gaining insights, and set off.

After getting off the subway and walking for less than 10 minutes, Dong Canghai came to the gate of the Convention and Exhibition Center.

This is a large trading house built by the government five years ago. There are many trading venues inside. A road at the entrance passes through the entire venue, and empty and vast trading venues are built on both sides of this road.

Dong Canghai was a little surprised that the monk meeting would be held in such a place.He walked around the convention and exhibition center, and it was empty, only a few ordinary people were wandering around, and nothing unusual could be seen, which made him a little frustrated.

But Dong Canghai was not willing to leave like this, he waited in place for another two days, and it was not until the third day that he saw another acquaintance.

The old monk Hongdao was walking towards this side with a bulging backpack in his hand.

The old monk saw Dong Canghai from a long distance, and greeted him: "Hey, are you coming to the trade fair too?"

Dong Canghai said: "Yes, I got an invitation card a few days ago and planned to come over to see the world. But it's very deserted here, there is no sign of a trade fair at all? Or is there another way to get in?"

"Oh, it's easy to talk about!" Hong Dao's smile became more and more kind, with a hint of cunning in his kindness, "10 RMB, or a Devil's Crying Stone, I'll tell you."

Dong Canghai was once again refreshed by this monk at this moment, what about the strength of character of the agreed monk? !Is this about to start blackmailing?

There must be no money, Devil Weeping Stone... I still have one in my purse, but it is useless, do I want to exchange it?

While Dong Canghai was still hesitating, a slightly thick voice sounded behind him: "Don't be fooled! There are more than a hundred thousand Devil's Cry Stones."

Dong Canghai turned his head and saw a tall man in black, about 27 or [-] years old, standing behind him at some point.

The man had sharp eyes, a high bridge of nose, thin lips, and his serious expression looked very serious.He looked at Hongdao with a trace of contempt and disdain in his eyes.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhang!" Hongdao immediately yelled, "Brother Zhang, why did you come so late this time? I was joking with this kid. How could a monk really steal people's money?"

After finishing speaking, Hongdao raised his hand, a faint golden light flashed, and the person disappeared.Judging from the speed of Hongdao's escape, the old monk seemed to be very afraid of "Brother Zhang".

Dong Canghai saw Hongdao cast a spell, so he followed his example, threw the invitation card in his purse into the air, and took the opportunity to inject spiritual power into it.

But that invitation card didn't absorb any spiritual power at all, it floated in the air and then fell to the ground.

"You're new here?" The man in black who had already opened the passage and was about to go to the trade fair did not disappear immediately, but looked at Dong Canghai in surprise.

Dong Canghai blushed and picked up the invitation card on the ground, and said a little embarrassedly: "Yes... I didn't expect this invitation card to be used in this way... Ha ha."

"Show me your card." The man in black walked up to Dong Canghai.

Dong Canghai took a look at this man with the Celestial Eye Technique. He could only feel the spiritual power fluctuations on the man, but he couldn't tell how strong it was. This meant that the man was much stronger than himself, and there was no need to fight against him, so Dong Canghai Pass your card to the man.

The man in black turned the card over, looked at it, stretched out his hand, and wiped it lightly, a faint black air dispersed from the card.

"On this invitation card, there is a restriction imposed by the ghost, you can't use it." The man in black said, "I erased that restriction, you can try again."

Dong Canghai threw the invitation card in the air again, and with a whoosh, the card turned into a golden light and flew forward.A faint translucent golden light curtain appeared in front of Dong Canghai.The card spun rapidly on the mask, spinning out a passage that only allowed one person to pass through, and appeared in front of Dong Canghai, and some broken snow drifted into the passage.

This was the first time Dong Canghai had seen such a spectacle. He was a little dazed, and walked around the light curtain. The front and back of the light curtain were ordinary cement road buildings, and the passage in the middle was like a Like a door that appeared out of nowhere, it reminded Dong Canghai of the space-time passage.

He carefully walked towards the passage on the light curtain, and when he entered the passage, the card disappeared in mid-air, and in front of Dong Canghai, a world completely different from what he saw outside appeared. .

What appeared in front of Dong Canghai was a lobby of a hotel. At the entrance of the lobby there were some crushed snow that came from nowhere, and there was a trace of mud on the welcome mat at the entrance.

But the center of the hall is very clean and open, and warm as spring, many people come and go in it.At the customer service desk in the lobby, like ordinary hotels, clocks from various countries, dates, and today's room prices are hung.The staff in black uniforms help check-in guests into their rooms with a smile on their faces.

Dong Canghai saw that the man in black was next to him, he should have come in with him, so he turned his head and greeted him: "Brother Zhang."

The man in black nodded his head as an answer. He walked straight to the service desk, flicked a card, and said bluntly, "Deluxe private room."

Dong Canghai followed behind the man, and glanced at the price tag hanging on the wall. The luxurious single room here is more than ten times more expensive than outside.

When it was Dong Canghai's turn, he thought about it and decided to choose the cheaper six-person room.He chose this room not only because it was cheap, but also because it was convenient to communicate with the people around him, and to inquire about some information that he would not normally know.

Dong Canghai's room was on the tenth floor, and the man in black's room was on the eighteenth floor. The two entered the elevator together, and it was a little awkward to look at each other without words, so they exchanged names.

"My name is Zhang Fan, and I belong to Qi Le."

Dong Canghai had never heard of Qi Le, and he didn't know what it was, probably some kind of sect-like organization?Dong Canghai silently guessed in his heart.

"Where are you from?" Zhang Fan asked.

Dong Canghai said: "I came here to take a look by myself, Brother Zhang, is the Qi Le you just mentioned a gang?"

Zhang Fan was a little surprised: "Have you never heard of Qi Le?"

Dong Canghai shook his head, so Zhang Fan just oh, without explaining, the atmosphere in the elevator became a little dull.

Ding dong!When the elevator reached the tenth floor, Dong Canghai touched the room card in his purse and was about to go out, but he heard Zhang Fan asking from behind: "Are you really a newcomer who doesn't know anything?"

Dong Canghai turned his head: "Yes."

Zhang Fan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Just to remind you, when we get to the room later, it's best not to tell others about your situation."

Dong Canghai didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but Zhang Fan didn't seem to intend to explain. He just said, "I live in Room [-] on the eighteenth floor. If you feel uncomfortable living in my room, you can come to me."

"Thank you, Brother Zhang. I came here to find you after I put away my things. I just have a lot of things to think about and ask you for advice!" Dong Canghai was very happy to meet such a senior.

Zhang Fan ignored Dong Canghai's words, just nodded, pressed the door close button of the elevator, and continued to go up.

As the elevator door closed, Dong Canghai took out his room card and swiped it towards the sensor in the room shared by six people.

When he entered the door, Dong Canghai was still pondering why Zhang Fan thought that he would be "unaccustomed to so many people"?

But as soon as he entered the door, he immediately understood what Zhang Fan meant by "not used to it".
