The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 192 Gossip
After hesitating for a long time, Lian Xing finally agreed to Shen Youzhi's invitation.

This is not only because of the body's instinctive need to eat, but also because of psychological factors.

She and Yaoyue were raised as the heirs of Yihua Palace since they were young. They have always grown up in Yihua Palace and never had contact with the outside world.

Before Jiang Feng broke in, there wasn't even a man in Yihua Palace.

More importantly, in Yihua Palace, she and Yaoyue only need to concentrate on practicing martial arts, and don't need to worry about other things at all. There are special maids and maids who are responsible for basic necessities of life.

So after leaving Yihua Palace, she felt strange to everything in the outside world.

This feeling is like a transfer student who just transferred to another school when he was in school. Looking around, he doesn't know anyone, and he can't talk to anyone.

This sense of strangeness and alienation, as if excluded from the whole world, is extremely unbearable.

In contrast, Shen Youzhi who had met once was barely an acquaintance.

So Lianxing unconsciously regards him as someone who can be contacted.

Because the emotion of "familiarity" is relative, especially it will be magnified by loneliness.

When a person is in a completely unfamiliar environment, even a little related things will make him feel more intimate.

Afterwards, the two found a nearby town, planning to find a restaurant or inn for a full meal.

The town is not big, so naturally there is no road planning. The criss-crossing streets are not only narrow, but also intricate like a mess of twine. There are often three steps to a corner, and five steps to a wall.

Walking along a street for half a day ends up either walking into someone's yard or going back to the original point.

Even the vendors on the street seem to look similar, making people unable to tell the difference between east, west and north.

Fortunately, both Shen Youzhi and Lian Xing are very human, so they are not lost in this ball of "twist".

Yuelai Inn
This small inn has not been refurbished for many years, the wooden doors and windows are yellow and black, and it seems to have decayed to the depths.

Although old, it is extremely clean. There is no dust or oil stains on the tables and chairs in the store, and the gray floor tiles are also cleaned spotlessly.

This is the time for the "autumn tiger" to show its power, and the noon sun is even more venomous. Anyone who stands outside for a while will sweat profusely.

Therefore, many merchants gathered in the inn to rest their feet, drinking tea to cool down while escaping the heat.

"Shopkeeper, open a private room."

Two figures, a man and a woman, came to the counter from the door in an instant like wind and charm.

Only from this ghostly movement, one can know that the martial arts of the incoming person are extraordinary.

Those people who were amazed by the woman's peerless beauty before also hurriedly lowered their heads, for fear of offending the other party and causing themselves a disaster of death.

Beauty is certainly exciting, but life is more cherished than beauty.

"Sorry, this store only has rooms, not private rooms."

The shopkeeper looked at the pair of peerless man and woman, and said cautiously.

In a small town like theirs, the traffic is not very large, and there are only a few merchants who come and go. At most, they can only go to work and stay overnight. There is no need to open a separate room to eat.

Without demand, there would naturally be no market, so there was no so-called "private room" here.

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Shen Youzhi frowned slightly.

This is already the largest inn in the town, and it doesn't even have a private room.

After thinking for a while, Shen Youzhi continued: "In this case, open a large private room and deliver the food."

If it's just him, it doesn't matter where he eats, but in order to take care of Lian Xing's emotions, he must do his best.

More importantly, he wanted Lianxing to feel "familiar" and make her feel more at ease staying with him.

This can quickly resolve the gap between the two.

In a completely unfamiliar environment, if you meet someone who makes you feel at ease and at ease, it will be a matter of course for the two parties to become friends.

"Okay! You two come with me."

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, and led the two of them to the largest compartment on the second floor.

"Two guests, wait a moment. The younger one will ask the kitchen to prepare the dishes and send them over." The shopkeeper said cautiously.

Although their place is small, there are a lot of people coming and going, and occasionally they can meet some "masters".

Therefore, the shopkeeper is very aware of the temper of these "masters", and dare not be negligent.

If you annoy these people from the rivers and lakes, maybe your century-old shop will be open to the end!

"Okay, you go down first." Shen Youzhi said casually.

"Okay, if the guest officer has anything to do, he can greet the little one at any time."

While the shopkeeper exited the room, he also intimately closed the door for the two of them.

squeak-

After the door was closed, Shen Youzhi began to look at the guest room in front of him.

The spacious space is divided into inner and outer layers by a huge screen in the middle. The outer layer is furnished with tables and chairs, and the inner layer is a simple wooden bed.

Although it is far from exquisite, it is at least relatively spacious, and everything in the room is clean and tidy, which looks quite comfortable.

For such a small town, it is extremely rare to have such an accommodation experience.

For most of the bodyguards and traveling merchants who travel around the rivers and lakes, it is already very satisfying to have a Chase bunk that can shelter from the wind and rain.

But for Lian Xing, such an environment is already the bottom line.

Thanks to the clean up, she can barely accept it.

"Sit down." Shen Youzhi said, and he took the lead in sitting on the chair.

Lian Xing glanced at the table and chairs, and sat down slowly after confirming that there were no stains or dust on them.

"Aren't you people in Yihua Palace like you who love cleanliness so much?"

In order to prevent the atmosphere from becoming awkward, Shen Youzhi took the initiative to start the conversation.

"I don't understand what you mean." Lianxing frowned slightly.

For her, she didn't do this out of any rules or etiquette, it was just a habit that was almost instinctive.

"Then let me ask another question, have you been like this since you were a child?" Shen Youzhi asked again.

Things like habits are formed subtly, neither innate nor overnight.

When did it start?

Lianxing herself can't remember clearly.

I only know that as the Ming Yugong gets more refined, I can't tolerate dust in my eyes, and I hate those unclean things more and more.

When she was young, she would climb up the peach tree with her elder sister to pick peaches, without feeling dirty at all.

But now, she won't even touch a peach that hasn't been cleaned.

This is exactly the impact of Ming Yugong's top-level inner strength mentality on people's spiritual character.

The more advanced the martial arts, the more it is linked to the spirit.

Not only does it require a special state of mind when practicing, but it also affects and changes a person's character after the practice is completed.

People who practice yang internal energy tend to become hot-tempered, while those who practice yin internal energy gradually become colder and colder.

Only the yin and yang exercises can reduce this negative effect.

This is why Taoist internal skills are sought after by famous schools.

Although it may not be the fastest and most effective, it must be the most stable and easiest to learn.
