I am cultivating and becoming a saint in a parallel world

The Z164 train passed through fifteen cities, passing by the endless Qinghai Lake, the ethereal and mysterious Kunlun Mountains, and the Tanggula Pass far away from the hustle and bustle, carrying Wei Xuan Shang from the bustling metropolis to this pilgrim on the roof of the world. 's holy place.

The sky here is as clear as blue, the sunshine is bright and warm, there are many temples in the city, prayer flags are fluttering in the distant mountains, there are snow-capped mountains soaring into the sky, and lakes embracing the sky.

On Maburi Mountain in the northwest of the city, the majestic red and white palace stands; in the old city, incense is lingering in front of the temples, thousands of butter lamps are lit day and night, and there are traces of countless pilgrims on the bluestone in front of the door.

On Barkhor Street, local people and foreign tourists mix and interact. From time to time, a few cats and dogs would run out and fight, and devout believers could also be seen prostrating themselves on the ground and kowtow.

Xu Tianming took Wei Xuanshang into a bar and restaurant with local characteristics. This is a small yellow building, which is in sharp contrast to the large white walls around it, and has a sense of warmth because of its unique colors and decorations.

There are three floors in the small building. The first floor is the aisle, which is narrow and dark. The top floor is the terrace, which is covered with a huge tent. The center of the bar is on the second floor.

The bar is not very spacious, with bright Gesang flowers placed on the wooden tables and chairs, Thangkas hanging on the walls, and decorations in ethnic minority and religious styles. The windows are large, and the sunlight shines in from the outside, interweaving with the orange lights. People inside will fall into a lazy and ethereal atmosphere that is accentuated by the weight of history and the mystery of religion.

"Is this here?" Wei Xuanshang looked around. This place was nothing like the Naihe Bridge she imagined.

"This is the door." Xu Tianming found an empty seat and motioned for her to come with him.

"Door?" Wei Xuanshang asked as he stepped up to follow, "What door?"

"You'll find out later."

Wei Xuanshang took off his backpack and peaked cap and placed them on the chair next to him.

"Orange juice, Coke, Sprite, choose one." Xu Tianming took the menu and ordered a few dishes skillfully, then raised his eyes and asked Wei Xuanshang.

What to drink at the bar.

Just as Wei Xuanshang was about to open her mouth, the other party seemed to have a glimpse of her thoughts in advance: "You are underage and cannot drink."

Wei Xuanshang: "..."

Minors in the Suppressing Evil Division can fight monsters and kill enemies, but they cannot drink alcohol.

"Cola."

……

Not long after, the service staff brought out several exotic specialties, a brightly colored cocktail, and a can of Coke with a straw inserted into the mouth.

"Try it and see if it suits your taste."

After spending so many days together, Wei Xuanshang gradually understood Xu Tianming's behavior. It was impossible to have any tense moments with him.

No matter when and where he is, he can always maintain a relaxed and elegant posture, and a gentle and leisurely look.

Wei Xuanshang gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask, picked up the Coke, took a big sip, and turned into a cook.

……

After drinking and eating, when Wei Xuanshang felt that the big man opposite was finally going to answer her questions, she saw him suddenly get up and leave.

Wei Xuanshang: "?"

She quickly grabbed her backpack, put on her hat, and followed.

"Are you ready?" Xu Tianming stopped in an inconspicuous corner, where there was a small door. It seems that the back should be a place to store sundries or cleaning tools.

Wei Xuanshang looked at Xu Tianming doubtfully: "What are you preparing for?"

Xu Tianming did not answer, but stretched out his hand, took her hand, and pushed the door open with the other hand.

Before Wei Xuanshang could react, the scene around her suddenly began to change rapidly. Just like a beautifully packaged item that has been burned by fire, the outer decoration quickly fades into nothingness, revealing the true appearance inside.

In the blink of an eye, she was in another world.

I saw that the environment in front of me was several degrees darker than before, and the decoration style changed from religious and ethnic style to cyberpunk style.

Sci-fi, dark, and very visually impactful.

The melodious Tibetan chanting disappeared and was replaced by mechanical music.

This space was much larger than the previous bar. Wei Xuanshang stood in the hall and looked over. She didn't know if it was due to the influence of the lighting. She didn't see the edges or walls.

Her shoulder was suddenly bumped.

"Feel sorry."

A gentle girl said sorry to her.

Wei Xuanshang raised his head, and the other party turned around and looked over.

Her pupils shrank slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to take a defensive stance.

Standing two steps away was a woman wearing a red hip-hugging dress, with a curvy figure and wavy permed hair.

But her face has no facial features at all!

Like a flesh-colored, peeled egg, smooth.

When she was talking to her, a part below the "egg" seemed to move, giving the impression that a solid part melted into a liquid. When she finished speaking, she became complete and smooth again.

The other party didn't seem to notice Wei Xuanshang's shocked expression at all. After apologizing, he turned and walked towards the dance floor. There were a large number of people of all kinds... or more accurately, living creatures, dancing and dancing to the music.

"It's the white-faced woman." Xu Tianming explained, "A kind of spirit that looks like a human, but has no facial features."

"Relax," he said. "The only things you can do here are consumption and transactions. Besides, whether it's personal grudges or official business, you have to go outside to resolve them."

"For example, because you are on the bounty list, half or even more than half of the people here are probably interested in your life, but they will never take action against you here."

"..." Wei Xuanshang, "Then what are we going to do next?"

"I'll take you for a walk and learn a lot."

Wei Xuanshang followed Xu Tianming into the bar. Whenever Wei Xuanshang's eyes lingered on a living creature, Xu Tianming would give her an explanation.

"This kind of pig-like and sheep-like spirit, named Lao, likes to eat brains. In their diet, living human brains are greater than dead human brains, greater than live animal brains, and greater than dead animal brains."

"It's easy to kill it. You just need to take a fresh cypress branch and stab it into its body."

"Ice silkworms grow in extremely cold places. The silk they spin out is extremely tough and can be cut continuously with swords. It can prevent fire and water. It is an excellent material for refining spiritual weapons..."

After walking across the dance floor where the music was boiling, Wei Xuanshang followed Xu Tianming into the elevator and walked up one floor.

"What is this place?"

The space in front of him was noisier than the dance floor just now, but there was no music, only the sounds of humans and animals.

"casino."

"?"

As a flower who grew up under the red flag, in Wei Xuanshang's subconscious, anything related to pornography, gambling and drugs was not a good thing.

"What are we doing in the casino?"

"You still lack a knife to take advantage of." Xu Tianming said, "You are here, try your luck."
