I have a city that never sleeps

In addition to these scholars who were allowed to enter the city that never sleeps for the first time, other people from the rivers and lakes who came to the city that never sleeps for the first time also love the various magical things in the city that never sleeps.

However, they have always been prepared to go to the city that never sleeps, and they have done a lot of homework before coming, so they know the city that never sleeps very well.

For example, the koi that will bring luck, for example, the effects of the four cuisines of Zuixianlou, or the high-quality weapons sold in the Weapon Pavilion...

Shi Miaorui is one of the people who came to the Weapon Pavilion from the rivers and lakes.

Although she is a woman, she is also a knight. As a knight, why don't she yearn for that unique and elegant weapon, and why don't she yearn for the admiring eyes around her.

After learning that she was selected for the city that never sleeps, she immediately raised hundreds of thousands of silver, just to come to the Weapons Pavilion to choose a weapon that only belonged to her.

Almost as soon as she arrived in the city that never sleeps, she directly pushed open the door of the Weapon Pavilion.

But even so, there are still many people who are choosing weapons in front of them. Shi Miaorui came to the whip weapon that he was thinking about, and wanted to choose carefully.

But the weapon that caught his eye was bought one by one, and she didn't even have time to ask the price.

Looking at the other customers, they all quickly picked up the weapons in the Weapons Pavilion as if they were robbing, and as long as they made a few gestures and thought it was feasible, they quickly went to the store waiter to pay the bill with the bank notes, for fear that the weapon would be taken by someone else if it was too late. Robbed.

That's right, after all, there are many people and few meat, and there will definitely be people who cannot be bought, so it is a very correct strategy to strike first.

But Shi Miaorui chose the most beautiful and most suitable weapon for her, and she didn't want to be as casual as others.

So she wandered around in front of the Weapons Pavilion longer than the average person. Seeing that the others had picked up their own weapons, she stood there depressed, unwilling to make a decision.

The shop waiter saw this scene in his heart, and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "What troubles do you have, but you are not satisfied with the weapons here?"

"That's right!" Shi Miaorui snapped her fingers, she finally found someone who understood the situation, "These whips are not beautiful at all, I don't like them."

The waiter rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled and said, "Everyone has their own preferences, and it's normal for a girl not to like it. If a girl wants to buy a unique whip that suits her wishes, should she choose to customize it herself?"

This sentence immediately aroused Shi Miaorui's interest, and she asked curiously, "Customization? How about a custom method?"

"It's very simple. The girl can draw the appearance of the weapon she wants, and a professional will help you draw the blueprint. The blueprint can be revised repeatedly. Make sure the girl is satisfied! Then hand it over to a special person to make, and this unique weapon will be made Out."

Seeing that Shi Miaorui was very interested, the waiter continued to add: "You can choose to customize the color, length, pattern, weight of the whip, and even engrave your own name on it. Each customized style will have random attribute changes, which can be changed more Good assistant master, what do you think?"

"Can you still leave your name?" Upon hearing this sentence, Shi Miaorui's heart was moved on the spot. Isn't this the weapon she dreamed of, "It's more money and less, I want to customize it!"

The waiter in the shop suddenly showed a happy smile: "The price fluctuates upwards from 30 taels of silver. It depends on the degree of difficulty you require. You can set the drawing first, and then discuss the price after the drawing is finalized. What do you think?"

Shi Miaorui immediately agreed. Anyway, the design drawings don't cost money, so let's take a step at a time.

So the waiter led her to the special painter and sat down facing each other. The painter was holding a rather slender brush in his hand, took out the rice paper and drew the general shape of the whip on it, and then Shi Miaorui made feedback and corrections.

Shi Miaorui made a lot of requests, but they were all reasonable: "The whip should be silver in appearance, with sharp barbs on the second half, made of a particularly hard material, and the tip must be sharp! The head of the whip must be golden. Wrap your hands, leave my name on it, and can you design a mechanism that can explode poisonous gas in the whip?"

Her voice unknowingly attracted many people, and they were very interested in hearing that she was ordering a weapon for her.

But before they saw the results, they didn't want to act rashly, so they stood beside Shi Miaorui as if they were watching, listening to her ordering of weapons.

When they heard that poisonous gas was going to be released from the whip, everyone looked weird, and couldn't help feeling that the little girl was so whimsical, how could there be a whip in the world that could release poisonous gas?

But the drawing staff on the opposite side circled one end of the whip without changing expression, and asked politely if it was designed as a mechanism from here.

Someone was really curious and couldn't help asking: "Wait, can this mechanism really be designed?"

"Of course." The painter smiled. "It just so happens that the man who forges weapons is very good at mechanisms. This requirement is easy to meet."

In a word, the eyes of the others lit up and their hearts moved even more.

Even such an unreasonable request can be fulfilled, my God, then they also want to design a unique weapon!

After discussing for a full quarter of an hour, Shi Miaorui's whip was decided.

The drawing staff looked at the blueprint, and stretched out their hands to compare the numbers: "The other places are very simple, mainly because the design of the mechanism took a lot of effort. It will cost a total of 45 taels of silver. Do you think it is acceptable?"

45?

Shi Miaorui thought about it, and was actually relieved, it was much cheaper than she imagined, not even more than 50.

The rest thought so too.

It’s a bit dumbfounding to say that a weapon costs 50 million taels of silver in the outside world. When they heard it, they turned green and cursed that this must be a black-hearted businessman, but in the city that never sleeps, a dish here costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. In the city that never sleeps, how can the 45 taels be so cheap!

Many people were very excited immediately and wanted to order an exclusive weapon.

"When will we be able to obtain weapons?" Someone asked impatiently.

The painter said: "If the speed is fast, it can be delivered tomorrow morning. If it is more complicated, it will be delayed for two or three days. At that time, the city that never sleeps will come to deliver the weapon on the spot."

This speed is fast enough, and everyone feels that this customized service is really good.

"But there is one thing that guests need to keep in mind." The drawing staff said seriously, "Once the drawing is handed in, it cannot be changed. Once the finished product is produced, unless there is an error in our side not customizing according to the drawing, we will not return it. To Making this kind of weapon requires the use of the finest essence stones, and it takes countless painstaking efforts, I hope all guests can understand."

"Understood, of course I will understand." Everyone nodded repeatedly, nonsense, even if it is for the sake of life, this must be understood, otherwise, when the sword god comes to the door, there will be no place to cry.

"Okay." The painter smiled, "Then I will send Smith's weapon blueprint to the forging room now, and I hope you can see the finished product as soon as possible."

"As for other customers who want to order, please wait a moment, we will receive them one by one."

Everyone made it clear, but Shi Miaorui asked curiously, "Can't I go to the forging room to see it myself?"

"This...I'm afraid it won't work." The painter smiled wryly, "Mr. Gongshu doesn't like people interrupting his work, so please forgive me."

Mr. Gongshu?

Everyone had never heard of this name, so they couldn't help remembering it in their hearts, and said yes.

There are a lot of people gathered in the weapon pavilion, and other places are naturally not far behind.

Where is the place most popular with civilians or people without money?

Of course it is the goldfish pond!

For only ten taels of silver, it is possible to obtain the scales of the luckiest koi, which will make those commoners who can't even afford a cup of tea crazy.

Anyway, it costs money to come here, so use the least amount of money to fight for the highest possibility!

Therefore, there are surprisingly many people who came to the city that never sleeps this time and wanted to feed the koi.

Everyone gathers in front of the goldfish pond, chooses a place where there are more koi to squat and cast bait, and then secretly hopes for the arrival of koi.

Zhu Yun is one of them, and she couldn't help but want to give it a try when people talked about the benefits of koi, but seeing that everyone gathered in the area with the most koi, almost crowded, she Some flinched back a few steps, but still chose a place with the fewest people to stop.

Honestly put in the bait, waiting for the luck of the koi.

Soon, there was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, and soon someone said happily: "Koi! It's the koi that came to me!!"

But who would have thought that as soon as this sentence was said, the koi was frightened by the shock of the movement, and a dragon swung its tail and ran in the opposite direction, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the empty space in front of him, the man fell silent: "..."

"I don't know that fish are most afraid of sound, you will scare it away if you are so loud!" The rest couldn't help but blame, "Hold down, don't scare my koi away!"

That's right, even if it's a fish in the city that never sleeps, isn't it still a fish!Also afraid of the sound!

Everyone immediately shut their mouths, not daring to disturb the rest of any koi fairy.

But his eyes were still looking at the bright red and beautiful koi with great excitement, imagining what it would be like when the koi presented him with scales from time to time.

But I don't know if it's because his eyes are too hot or what's the matter, the koi that is full of food and drink only takes a leisurely turn, and then leaves gracefully, not to mention the scales, not even a wave stand up.

This made people dumbfounded one after another, not knowing what was going on.

How could it be like this, they spent money, why did the fish leave without leaving anything after eating it!

"Wait." A person with a fiery temper suddenly forgot everything in a hurry. Seeing that the koi was about to leave, he even wanted to reach out and grab the koi to remove the scales.

But before his hand touched the koi's tail, he suddenly felt a pain in his knuckles, and saw the koi flying into the air, and a dragon swung its tail and slapped his palm directly.

In an instant, the man's fingertips turned red, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Hiss—"

Looking at the koi that got into the lake without any injuries, the man was dumbfounded for a long time, and finally he was dumbfounded and said: "Damn it, even the koi can bully me now! This strength is too great!"

"Who told you to use brute force to catch people!" Someone said contemptuously, "This is a koi from the city that never sleeps. It has spirituality. If it doesn't attack you, whoever it is!"

"Can you blame me!" The big man also blew his beard and stared, "Isn't it because it ran away after eating and left nothing behind? This is the king's meal, okay? That's ten taels of silver!"

"No one ever said that ten taels of silver can definitely get koi scales." Someone retorted, "If you can get it so easily, how can the scales have such a magical effect! The koi in this pond They have already been stripped bald!"

"That, that..." The big man didn't know what to say, so he could only say helplessly, "Then how do you get the scales?"

"This... I only heard that the woman who got the koi scales last time was just fed for a long time." Regarding this question, everyone looked at each other, "I can't tell if the feeding time should be longer?"

No one can answer whether this method is correct, because no one has succeeded so far, and they all sigh at a loss.

But at this time, someone suddenly spoke weakly from behind: "Well... Actually, I think I should spend more time with it, and if you make it happy, I will give you scales."

Only then did everyone turn their heads to look at this person, and when they realized that there was only a gray-looking girl in plain clothes standing in front of them, a bit of contempt appeared in their eyes.

Originally, the boredom of being in vain because of ten taels of silver was on the verge of breaking out: "The little girl speaks without thinking. We are human, so how can we grasp the psychological state of animals?"

"That's right, don't be ashamed if you don't have any evidence."

"I also want to know where your confidence comes from. Then why didn't you get the scales?"

Zhu Yun, who was scolded by everyone, looked embarrassed and uneasy.

Seeing her obsequious look, everyone felt even more disdainful, but someone suddenly saw the glittering golden-red object in Zhu Yun's palm, and said in amazement: "Wait, look at her hand! "

Everyone looked puzzled, and then they were all taken aback. This beautiful luster, this beautiful color... Could this be the scales of the legendary koi carp? !

"You, what is this in your hand?!" Someone stumbled and couldn't help asking, "Scales?"

Zhu Yun touched his cheek embarrassingly, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

This time, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Scales, did someone really get the scales they dreamed of without making a sound? ?

God, this is too lucky! !

No one dared to underestimate the woman in front of them any more. After being dumbfounded for a long time without saying a word, they only felt pain in their cheeks, and there was nowhere to put them down.

They couldn't help asking in embarrassment: "Then...how did these scales come from?!"

"I wonder if the girl can tell us..."

"I just played with the koi for a few minutes, and it happily gave me the scales..." Zhu Yun was not at all annoyed by what happened just now, and explained softly.

Is it really that simple? !

Everyone's eyes are shining brightly, as if they have found a new way to make a fortune.

At the same time, they also looked at Zhu Yun in shame, their attitudes changed 180 degrees, and they expressed their apologies in embarrassment.

"I'm very sorry just now. We were anxious. I don't know what you did just now? How did you play with the koi... If you are willing to tell me, I am willing to pay you!"

"As long as I can get the scales, I can give you three times the reward, can you guide me by the side!"

"I have deeply reflected on my mistakes, and hope that the girl can forget about the past and forgive me!"

……

Hearing everyone's confession from the heart, Zhu Yun finally smiled and squeezed the scales in his hand.

Perhaps this day will be her happiest day!

Many people come to the koi pond that costs ten taels of silver, not to mention the free money tree.

Looking around, there was a sea of ​​people, and there was an endless stream, almost filling up all the places in front of the money tree.

People closed their eyes and made a wish under the tree, and even made a wish for a full quarter of an hour, and they were reluctant to leave the money tree, which showed their inner piety.

But this cash cow can't fulfill so many wishes. Therefore, no matter how much they prayed, they didn't feel anything in the end, and could only walk forward shaking their heads.

"It is said that if the matter is urgent, pious in heart, and willing to exchange all costs, the money tree will fulfill your wish... Although I don't know if it is true or not." Someone sighed.

"This is what Hero Chu himself said. How can it be false? In fact, someone really saved his life by fulfilling his wish!" The others argued.

"Maybe it's because we don't have to worry about our lives that we are not favored by the money tree..."

"Won't people who are in danger of life want to come to Evernight City to save their lives? It's a pity that Evernight City doesn't seem to have a good doctor, otherwise it would be really saving lives."

"Now the configuration of the city that never sleeps is already very exciting, isn't it? It's all gods fighting, and another doctor will not be against the sky!"

"That's what I said, hahahaha. By the way, everyone, I heard that there is a new West Lake in the city that never sleeps. I just heard people say that they can go to the bottom of the lake to see the fish in person. It seems very mysterious. Do you want to go and see it together? look?"

"Oh? There is such a magical scenery?" Suddenly someone was very interested, "Even after visiting the bottom of the lake, you can also take a boat on the lake to enjoy the moon and drink wine. It's not interesting, let's go and have a look."

"Okay, let's go together! Let's go together!"

Everyone is looking forward to the newly opened attractions in the city that never sleeps.

When they came to the edge of the West Lake, they realized that the lake was bigger than they imagined.

Looking at the opposite scenery is almost hazy, plus the shape is rectangular, it takes an hour to go around the lake, and it is surrounded by large and small scenic spots, which is enough to enjoy the scenery.

At the starting point of the West Lake, everyone also found a map posted in the most conspicuous position, planning the route for everyone to play.

There are three possibilities for the whole route. The first one is to simply walk steadily around the periphery of the West Lake, but you can see standing towers, unique forest landscapes, and even some wonderful animals, etc. Etc... Suitable for guests who relax and enjoy the scenery.

The second is to go directly by boat. There are three types of boats, large, medium and small. The big boat can even seat hundreds of people. The construction is magnificent, and the small boat can accommodate less than ten people. In the second-floor cabin of the construction, it is also very wonderful for people to gather together to drink, have fun, enjoy the moon and the lake.

The third is the magical lake bottom tunnel, but because the location of the lake bottom tunnel construction needs to consider the environment, it is also necessary to walk to the designated location before playing.

Although guests can choose any of these three ways, the city that never sleeps still has a reasonable route plan.

First enjoy the beautiful scenery from the small road on the right side of the West Lake. On the way, you pass many scenic spots to reach the tower, where you can see the scenery of the city that never sleeps. Then take a boat for a quarter of an hour to reach the shore of the lake, and then walk directly back to the starting point through the tunnel under the lake. The whole journey only takes half a day. More than two hours, effective use of time.

Most guests will choose this plan. After all, there are so many places worth visiting in the city that never sleeps, and they can't spend too much time here.

So a group of people walked along the path one after another.

The path next to the West Lake is very well built. There is a quiet and dim flower world filled with fireflies, and there are bright lights that make the whole sky seem to be lit up with bright colors. Walking in this lush path, it seems to be able to experience two kinds of differences. Mood.

And the tourists were inexplicably unified at this moment, and couldn't help calling other guests who were walking alone to roam together.

Other scenic spots in the city that never sleeps will only turn them into competitors and enemies, but only this small road, as if the body and mind have been purified, the heart is filled with softness and warmth, so that all kinds of people can gather together, chat and laugh happily stand up.

You can see the thick-browed man with the weapon on his waist talking and laughing happily with the weak scholar, and you can see the young man in brocade clothes walking side by side with ordinary civilians.

You can also see these people of different identities gathered in a small group, laughing and joking as they walk forward slowly.

At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten all the differences and returned to simplicity and nature.

"Look! There are rabbits!"

Passing by a sign that read: Watch out for wild animals, someone suddenly shouted in surprise.

Everyone looked down, and sure enough, there were many cute snow-white rabbits grazing in the grass in front of them. Even though there were pedestrians passing by, they didn't seem to be afraid at all, and they still lay there firmly.

"Not just rabbits, look."

Looking around carefully, I found more strange animals, such as squirrels jumping on the branches, pandas rolling lazily, peacocks grooming their feathers, and even wild horses walking unhurriedly.

"This horse is really beautiful..." Someone couldn't help but sighed, and reached out to touch it for a moment.

As a result, everyone watched the originally leisurely and docile horses suddenly become enraged. They raised their front hooves high and kicked the guests unceremoniously, directly rolling and crawling on the ground.

They just made a mocking sound, and then walked away proudly.

This is not over yet, when he heard the neighing of the horse, the rabbit grazing beside him pricked up his ears vigilantly, his gem-like eyes flashed red, and he suddenly jumped up towards the guest, kicked his back foot and then kicked again. To the man's chest!

After that, the squirrel on the tree threw a lot of fruit shells on his head without saying a word, and the panda who was eating the bamboo also threw the bamboo at him...

After a while of flying and jumping, the man lay on the ground with his face covered in pain and screamed in pain, but the surrounding animals all left here immediately, choosing another quiet place, and the years were quiet.

……

"puff……"

As someone couldn't hold back the first sneer, in an instant, the onlookers laughed together:

"Hahahaha no matter how you say it, it's an animal from the city that never sleeps, you really want to touch it!"

"I actually saw contempt in the eyes of a horse. Pfft, it's so funny!"

"Even the rabbit jumps up and beats you... This is the first time I've seen a scene where a rabbit beats someone up, it's so strange."

"How can it be so interesting? Is it possible that all the animals here will come to beat people at the first time? It's really interesting."

"This is the end of angering the animals. Didn't you say that every plant and tree in the city that never sleeps has spirituality. It's better for everyone to pay attention."

Therefore, other guests who pass through this wild animal area again learn a lesson, no matter how much they like and how curious they are, they will not go up and touch them, after all, no one knows whether these cute animals will jump up and beat you!

Soon, they visited other scenic spots and even rested in a garden for a while before finally reaching the bottom of the tower.

The construction of the tower is very grand, in terms of height it has almost surpassed the height of the Tongtian Pavilion where City Lord Jiang is located, and the bricks and tiles of the pagoda are quite beautiful in shape, and there are crisp wind chimes hanging on it. When the wind blows, it seems to be playing music. The music is soft and relaxing.

It is said that by climbing to the top of the tower, you can have a panoramic view of the entire night view of the city that never sleeps, but at this height, if you climb the stairs one by one, you will feel like you will not be able to go up.

On the contrary, there are stepping stones specially built outside the pagoda so that those who can use lightness skills can quickly reach the top by stepping on them. However, these people's internal strength, endurance and lightness skills must also be tested.

Some confident people felt out of breath halfway up, and had to go back to the tower and use the rope in the center to jump down to the ground and return disappointed.

Only a few outstanding martial arts fighters were able to climb to the top of the tower. Although they were a little tired, when they looked down, it was as if they had opened up a brightly lit new world, which amazed everyone's vision.

The buildings are scattered and orderly, and the sky is lit by candlelight.

The sky is full of shining stars, and below is the warmth of life.

Everyone watched this scene for a long time, feeling extremely excited for some reason.

"Look, there is the Qingfeng Pavilion, there is the Zuixian Building, the Qinfang... the bookstore..."

"Where the water is still spraying is the music fountain, huh? There are still people using Qinggong to fly on the roof. It's really bold."

"Is this... the feeling of seeing all the mountains and small mountains at a glance?" Everyone couldn't help murmuring, "Sure enough, it seems that the heart is open and the mood is surging."

It is said that the fruits picked after victory are the most delicious. Now they are looking at every plant and tree in the city that never sleeps, and they feel joy and excitement from the bottom of their hearts. They are extremely happy.

"Look there!"

Someone suddenly looked at the murals in the tower at the rear, and saw that there was a night scene painted on the murals, which was exactly the same as they looked down from a high place.

In this painting, they can fully see all the buildings pointed out just now, which are reflected in their eyes like engravings.

There is also a sentence left with a pen next to it: This is a treasure dedicated to those who have reached the top.

At this moment, a touch of emotion suddenly appeared in my heart, and the few people looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at each other.

The scenery on the top of the tower will be a common secret that will last forever in their hearts.

After leaving the tower, it's time to take a boat. In order to save money, guests will choose a boat to play, and it will be more interesting if it is lively.

So five or 60 people got together and chose a medium-sized cruise ship and went in. It was only four taels of silver per person, which was very cost-effective.

The cruise ship is divided into upper and lower floors. The upper floor can enjoy the wind and the moon in the open air, and the lower floor can shelter from the wind and rain in the cabin. However, on nights when there is no rain, everyone still likes to go out to get some wind, so almost all the members came to the top deck. Or stand or sit, chat and watch the moon.

Some people even joked: "Why don't you talk about such a beautiful scenery, we have a lot of scholars and talents here, come and write a poem for us to appreciate?"

How could a scholar dare to be ashamed at this time, and waved his hands embarrassingly to apologize.

The rest of the people were not angry, and laughed loudly: "Speaking of how you were selected, I heard that Mr. Su Buyi is credited? I don't know much about him, why don't you sit down and talk to me?"

After all, someone boldly ordered some side dishes and drinks, and everyone sat at a round table and chatted cordially.

When the scholars heard that they wanted to talk about Mr. Su, they immediately refused to refuse. They could talk about interesting things about Mr. Su for three days and three nights!Gradually let go of his hands and feet, chatting with these people.

The beautiful moonlight, the wine filled with moonlight, the exquisite pastries, and the people who talked happily... People laughing and playing together have almost become the best memories in everyone's mind.

Perhaps they will only meet in the city that never sleeps, and it will be difficult for them to meet again after leaving the city.

But what does it matter?At this moment, everyone is the most strange friend, and everyone enjoys this happy night, abandoning all troubles.

After getting off the boat, everyone felt a little regretful that they couldn't talk for too long, so they decided to play together in the next lake tunnel.

They were amazed at how a passage could be built at the bottom of the lake, but following the guidance of the maidservants all the way down to the bottom of the lake, they were instantly stunned by the green world.

They seem to have come to a different new world. At the bottom of this lake, you can see fish swimming happily above your heads, you can see turtles curiously inquiring about you, and you can also see all kinds of aquatic animals Inhabit here and experience a different world under the lake.

"It's really amazing." Someone couldn't help but sigh, "I never knew that there is such a beautiful world underwater! The legendary Dragon Palace City, do you think it can be reached by this method?"

"Don't talk nonsense, that's where the gods live!" Immediately someone retorted, "It's not something we mortals can go to."

"Then tell me what the city that never sleeps is." Suddenly someone pointed out Hua Dian, "Isn't it the place where the gods are!"

The man fell silent immediately, "It's true..."

Not to mention other magical things, just talking about the open scenery of the West Lake, there is no place in the world that can match it, it can be said to be No.1 across the ages.

Such a city, coupled with those quite magnificent characters, what else can compare to the adjective immortal.

After a while of emotion, someone finally said leisurely: "Perhaps following the city that never sleeps, we can get in touch with a more wonderful world, perhaps following the city that never sleeps, we will usher in the most brilliant and prosperous Great Wei..."

Everyone thought deeply and couldn't help nodding their heads in agreement.

Even the city that never sleeps has become a place that people all over the world flock to. If it really grows into a city that anyone can enter, what earth-shaking changes will happen to the world!

The city that never sleeps, the owner of the city that never sleeps will lead them forward.

Although the road ahead is unknown, it is full of expectations and beauty!

While everyone was playing in the city that never sleeps, a black shadow secretly approached Qingfeng Pavilion with a depressed mood...
