Three Realms Sanatorium

City B is an international metropolis, and its central area is a large-scale commercial complex with an unusual scale and a huge tourist throughput.

The coffee shop where Gu Shi and Xie Jiusi are located is not far from the food street, and they don't even need to take a car.You only need to walk through a few landmark office buildings, and then cross a main road that serves as a pedestrian street, and you can reach the noisy and lively night market street.

Xie Jiusi followed Gu Shi across the pedestrian street, and walked through a quiet alley, when his eyes suddenly opened up.

Gu Shi jumped forward and jumped out of the alley: "It's here!"

With a solemn expression, Xie Jiusi carefully looked at the street in front of him.

This road is specially built for the night market.

It is completely different from the modern commercial pedestrian street across the street in that it is in the style of traditional buildings.

Red walls, wooden buildings, glazed tiles, paper lanterns hung high on the eaves.

The bright light shines from the shops on both sides of the road, and falls on the shop signboard with the standard plaque, fully illuminating the bronzing photos without neon lighting.

Except for the restaurant-style buildings, the targets here are small stalls and hawkers, and there is also a bar across a waterway, and folk songs plucked by guitars are heard.

The heat of the food soaked the coolness of the autumn night, and the blowing wind was full of lively fireworks.

The people coming and going held food and drinks in their hands, and some carried unfinished bottles of wine, laughing wantonly and freely.

The decibel that would be harsh in other places, but here it just adds a small dimension to its liveliness.

Crowded and noisy, but with a delicate order.

Gu Shi looked at Xie Jiusi's face full of inquiry, hesitated to speak, and then decided to let Xie Jiusi observe this terrible method of human beings by himself.

Gu Shi asked, "Do you have anything to eat?"

Xie Jiusi was very cautious: "Listen to you."

Gu Shi glanced at a little bit of Heguo next to him, and decided to buy them all because he had just received a huge sum of money.

He ran over to scan the QR code to order.

Xie Jiusi looked at Gu Shi's back.

Gu Shi's clothes are out of tune with modern society today.

His trouser legs were stained with mud, and he carried a bamboo basket on his back. The commoner clothes on his body looked very old. The buttons were all ancient buckles, and even the shoes were cotton shoes with traces of mending.

It's as if people from decades ago have traveled through time.

Unexpectedly, it seamlessly connects with this old-fashioned street.

Seeing that Gu Shi's figure was about to be overwhelmed by the crowd, Xie Jiusi followed his breath.

Sensing that the people around him were avoiding him, Xie Jiusi simply followed Gu Shi closely to prevent him from being pushed away by the crowd, while he observed the surroundings very intently.

—The humans here seem to be very happy.

Xie Jiusi came to this conclusion very easily, as for the others, he didn't see anything special yet.

Gu Shi thought that Xie Jiusi said he liked spicy food better, so he went straight to the barbecue and frying stall.

Xie Jiusi noticed that Gu Shi had gone away and came back, and immediately smelled a spicy pepper.

"Take it." Gu Shi stuffed the big flowering sausage in his hand to Xie Jiusi, "Try it!"

Xie Jiusi looked at the string of big sausages in his hand, the outer skin was fried crispy after being cut open by the knife, and the edges were slightly burnt. The whole string of sausages was covered with red oil. .

Gu Shi took a bite of his own sausage, and the old sausage, which the boss had specially fried to make it crispy, even made a crisp sound at the entrance.

Xie Jiusi also took a bite.

With the sausage in his mouth, Gu Shi asked expectantly, "How is it?"

Xie Jiusi nodded: "Not bad."

Gu Shi felt that there was probably nothing to say, but he heard Xie Jiusi say, "I like this."

Gu Shi suddenly became fascinated: "Not only this, human beings are really good at enjoying food, come with me!"

Xie Jiusi nodded upon hearing this.

Gu Shi dragged Xie Jiusi into a Sichuan Xiang Chuan Chuan Guo. Seeing that the bustling hall became colder by more than one level with Xie Jiusi's entry, he simply reserved a private room.

Gu Shi held the menu and asked Xie Jiusi, "Do you eat a lot?"

Xie Jiusi wasn't sure either, but anyway, he had never had enough to eat.

So he nodded: "Big."

Gu Shi immediately waved his hand and ordered a whole menu.

The waiter in the private room was stunned, glanced at Gu Shi's clothes, and couldn't help but confirm to Gu Shi: "Is there any friends coming later?"

"No, it's just the two of us." Gu Shi waved his hand, "It's okay, we can pack if we can't finish eating, there are a lot of people in the family."

The waiter hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "We have to pay first before serving."

Gu Shi heard the words for a while, how could he not understand that people were worried that they would not have money to pay after ordering.

He looked down at his clothes, and thought, no wonder: "Okay, where do I pay the bill?"

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief: "The front desk."

It just so happened that Gu Shi received a reminder on his mobile phone to pick up the goods, so he put on his backpack and said to Xie Jiusi, "Xie Jiusi, I'll go to settle the bill first, and take the milk tea I ordered before, and then buy some things from other small stalls when I come back. I am proud!"

Xie Jiusi nodded to Gu Shi.

His eyes are smeared with everything about human beings, so naturally what Gu Shi says is what he says.

Their boxes are on the third floor.

Not long after, Xie Jiusi looked through the window and saw Gu Shi hopping out of the shop with a basket on his back, and disappeared into the crowd in an instant.

Gu Shi put the milk tea he got into the basket, thinking that he should buy something to go back.

It's not that he is not short of money, it's just that this money can't be spent on snacks from the street to the end of the street.

Moreover, Xie Jiusi deserved the most credit for this money, and it was nothing worthwhile to spend on Xie Jiusi. Gu Shixuan thought that even if he picked up the leftovers, he would still make a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Gu Shi simply and neatly started sweeping the street.

Xie Jiusi likes to eat spicy and heavy flavors, so the goal is very clear.

Gu Shi bought all the way from the street to the end of the street, and bought a basket of snacks. In addition to the snacks that he guessed would meet Xie Jiusi's taste, there were also some that he had eaten before and thought they tasted good.

Gu Shi was in a happy mood, put the stinky tofu he just bought into the basket, and walked back humming a song.

As a result, he bumped into a mob of people at the door of the store.

Thinking about the pile of soup and water in his back basket, Gu Shi stopped and let the large group of people go first.

As soon as he stopped, he heard someone from the crowd calling him, "Gu Shi?"

Gu Shi was taken aback, and looked up, only to realize that this vast group of people were all his classmates.

Gu Shi counted the number of people and found that 28 of the [-] students in his class came. Basically, those who chose to stay in City B after graduation were all here.

Gu Shi smiled: "What about the party?"

He didn't bother to ask why they didn't call him.

Gu Shi himself doesn't know why, but anyway, he has not been very popular with friends, and he was almost isolated during college.

Several people in the crowd showed a bit of embarrassment.

The leader of the squad didn't change his face, and greeted with a smile: "Are you coming here to eat too?"

Gu Shi nodded: "Well, go in and stand at the door to block other people's business."

A group of people entered the door.

When the last ones looked at Gu, they asked loudly, "Little Daoist Gu, what are you wearing today?"

The sound was really loud, so loud that the whole hall looked towards Gu Shi. The monitor who was walking in the front turned around when he heard the sound, and saw Gu Shi, as if he had just discovered Gu Shi's attire.

The person who spoke seemed to have received great encouragement, and shook his hair like a peacock spreading its tail.

How could Gu Shi fail to feel the malice from this person.

He looked down at his attire, imitating Xie Jiusi's look of knowing nothing, showing a puzzled expression, and said slowly: "The attire of ordinary working people."

"..." Gu Shi answered these words so smoothly that the man didn't think of how to continue for a while.

Then someone said again: "Little Daoist Gu is going out to the restaurant today, isn't he saving money? Got rich?"

"You're joking." Gu Shi smiled contrivedly and shyly, and babbled nonsense without blinking, "It's just a windfall, a small profit of a hundred thousand or so."

The man choked up immediately.

But the squad leader who had opened the box said loudly: "I've opened the box, Gu Shi, why don't you save some money, don't waste it after making some money, let's have a meal together, I'll treat you."

The class leader's family is considered a bit powerful in City B. During college, he spent a lot of money to treat his classmates to dinner. Not to mention their class, the entire department has many fans.

Gu Shi put on an exaggerated expression of regret: "Thank you for your compliment, but I don't really like eating with a licking dog."

The faces of the group of people changed, but no one wanted to recognize the name "Licking Dog" aloud.

Gu Shi was grinning and in a good mood, humming a song and went upstairs.

joke.

I have never coaxed you in front of ancient gods and demons, how many mere humans would you coax?

In terms of verbal battles, I haven't even lost to Gu Xiuming!

Xie Jiusi watched Gu Shi enter the door happily.

"A good thing happened?"

"It's not a good thing, but I'm happy." Gu Shi said, and put the things in the basket on the table one by one.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people entered the box next to it which was originally empty.

Gu Shi listened and found out that it was his classmates.

The sound insulation effect of the box is not good, but Gu Shi and Xie Jiusi don't care about the opposite side.

Gu Shishun asked Xie Jiusi: "Did you observe anything?"

Xie Jiusi pondered and shook his head: "I didn't notice any abnormalities, but the human condition here is very good."

"Hmm, what else?" Gu Shi asked while unpacking the packing box, and then stuffed a pair of chopsticks into Xie Jiusi's hands, "Talk while eating."

Xie Jiusi obediently picked up a piece of fried fresh milk.

"When I just came here, I found that the people there..." Xie Jiusi pointed to the bar opposite, "They are not afraid of me."

Gu Shishun glanced at it, thinking that it was normal, after all, wine is strong and cowardly.

While eating, Xie Jiusi talked about some discoveries.

He was a little distressed, because he didn't notice any traces of spells, let alone the horror of nightlife.

On the contrary, the humans here seem really relaxed and happy.

It's really amazing to be able to hide to the point where he can't even notice the traces.

Xie Jiusi sighed: "Humanity's methods are really powerful."

"But I didn't see that you have much regard for human beings." Gu Shi said bluntly.

Gu Shi discovered this when he and Li Shuzui met for the first time.

These old monsters say that human beings are the masters of the earth today, but in fact they don't take human beings seriously at all.

His view of modern human technology is basically equivalent to the concept of "Oh, it's so interesting that my kitty can open the door by itself", and he doesn't put human beings on an equal footing with himself at all.

Gu Shi couldn't understand: "You have clearly seen the methods of human beings, why do you still look down on them?"

Xie Jiusi was holding a skewer of beef with coriander, and when he heard Gu Shi's question, he seemed very incomprehensible.

"Humans today can't stand shoulder to shoulder with us." He said, "They are different from Kuafu's ancient humans. Humans today are weak and short-lived."

"..."

That means you haven't suffered a real beating.

Gu Shiliangzi was speechless.

"Okay." Gu Shi nodded.

I hope you can still say this when you learn about two bombs and one satellite and intercontinental missiles.

Xie Jiusi looked at Gu Shi, who was boiling beef in the hot pot, for a moment: "You don't agree?"

"No." Gu Shi shook his head and changed the subject, "I'm just thinking about my plan."

"what's the plan?"

Gu Shi is solemn: "Three Realms College Compulsory Education and Higher Education Study Plan."

Xie Jiusi: "?"

Gu Shi talked about his plan to let the group of old monsters in the Three Realms Court come into contact with humans and learn human knowledge.

Xie Jiusi frowned slightly: "Learning from humans?"

Gu Shiyi spoke sternly: "Human beings will die easily, but knowledge will last forever, just like the spells handed down from ancient times. Knowledge is the most precious wealth. Learning more things will definitely not go wrong!"

"you're right."

Xie Jiusi was quickly persuaded, and unknowingly emptied another box of Spike potatoes.

He put the carton aside, saw the box of black squares next to it, took it immediately, and opened it.

An indescribable smell rushed over.

"..." Xie Jiusi closed the lid silently, "What is this?"

Gu Shi took a look: "Stinky tofu!"

Xie Jiusi was silent for a moment, then hesitated: "...food?"

"Yeah." Gu Shi nodded repeatedly.

Xie Jiusi looked solemnly at the stinky tofu in the box.

Humans are amazing, he thought.

Even this kind of thing can be made into food.

Seeing that he was still not moving, Gu Shi said, "This is delicious!"

Xie Jiusi: "..."

Gu Shi would not lie to him, so it must be really delicious.

Xie Jiusi hesitated, and was about to open the lid when the door of their box was pushed open.

A man pushed the door open and came in, leaning on the wall, looking drunk, with his tongue hanging out, he saw Gu Shi sitting opposite the door at a glance.

"Gu Shi!" He yelled.

The noisy sound from the box next to it suddenly fell silent.

Xie Jiusi put down the box in his hand: "Do you know each other?"

"My classmate." Gu Shi pointed to the box next to him, "They are all my classmates over there, but we don't have a good relationship."

Xie Jiusi nodded. He didn't know what his classmates meant, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Gu Shi's bad relationship with a group of humans.

"Do you know why you don't have a good relationship with us?" The man said with his tongue out, "Because the sister the squad leader likes likes you, he said he wanted to show you good-looking hehehe!"

Gu Shi: "..."

Ah this?

There was a sound from the box next door, and the sound of "thump, thud, thud" footsteps came, and then the squad leader's face appeared.

With a dark face, he staggered the man who was drunk, and said angrily, "He's drunk."

"Wow." Gu Shi grinned, "It's okay, I forgive you, after all, there are many girls who like me, and it's normal for you to like one of them."

The monitor's face instantly turned green.

Gu Shi was angry: "Hey, don't be unhappy, it's really not your fault, it's because I'm too good."

Xie Jiusi sat next to Gu Shi, showing a very approving expression: "That's right."

Gu Shi's words faltered suddenly.

The waiter came over at this time and invited the two at the door to leave.

Gu Shi turned his head to look at Xie Jiusi, and Xie Jiusi was also looking at him: "?"

Gu Shixiao whispered: "At that time just now, there is no need to cheer."

It's embarrassing when someone suddenly agrees with you when you're feeling weird.

"?" Xie Jiusi was a little confused, and then lowered his voice, "I'm just telling the truth."

Gu Shi choked up, feeling that his face was a little hot from the red oil pan boiling on the table, he turned his head, poked the enoki mushroom in the bowl, and remained silent.
