Chapter Twenty-Eight: Monsters. Starting point, do you still want an old turtle?
Because they were worried about the wanted by the government, Shen Yu and his entourage did not dare to take the official road, so they could only go over the mountains and mountains, and try their best to walk on some sparsely populated, winding, and dense mountain paths.
The four of them walked for more than two months, and only walked more than 600 miles, which is a little exaggerated, and it is really not much faster than a turtle crawling.
In the past two months, the four of them can only rely on playing some game to satisfy their hunger, don't look at Yuan Yue's numerology skills are very good, and they can even order Taoism, but when it comes to martial arts cultivation, this Yuan Yue Taoist is really not much stronger than Shen Yu and Xiaoxiao, thanks to Zeng Jing's swordsmanship now, otherwise a few people would really be completely dumbfounded.
Shen Yu and Xiaoxiao have learned a lot of things from Yuan Yue in these days, Yuan Yue taught Xiaoxiao that he really worked hard, and he couldn't wait to teach all his skills at once, but teaching Shen Yu was obviously too different, and said that he would spare a quarter of an hour every night to teach Shen Yu some Taoism, then it would really only be a quarter of an hour, even one more breath was impossible.
But what made Yuan Yue feel frightened, Zeng Jing felt admiration, and what made Xiaoxiao ecstatic was that no matter what Dao techniques Yuan Yue taught Shen Yu, Shen Yu would learn it as soon as he could, and he would be able to understand it in a while, and in just over two months, Yuan Yue actually had a feeling that he didn't know what to teach!
You're going to heaven!
Are the current second generation of officials terrifying?
Anyway, on this day, the four of them finally entered the territory of the Three Gorges Mansion, the easternmost part of Yuzhou Province, and several people were tired and hungry, so they hurriedly found a tavern and walked in.
During this period, although the four of them can eat different game every day, they have no seasoning and no cooking skills, and the taste can be imagined!
"What do the guest officers want?" The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic, and did not despise the four of them because of their ragged clothes or dusty servants, sat down with the four of them, and wiped the already very clean dining table with a rag again.
Yuan Yue exhaled a long breath and said with a lot of money: "All the delicious food and drink come up, and prepare four more upper rooms for us." ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Don't blame Daoye, there are only two upper rooms left in our tavern at the moment." ”
Shen Yu said: "Two rooms are just two, hurry up and arrange it for us, we have been on the road for a long time, and we have to rest after eating." ”
The shopkeeper agreed and hurried to make arrangements, but at this moment, he only heard a few diners next to him talking in a low voice.
This said: "Lujiazhuang offered a reward of 100,000 taels of silver and invited people from the Daomen, what is the reason?"
I heard the villagers of Lujiazhuang say that the Lu family is now haunted, ah no, it should be a haunted monster, pestering Miss Lu every day, Lu Yuanwai invited a nearby monk and Taoist priest to go to subdue the demon, but the monster's mana is very strong, and those monks who went to the Lu family were either scared away, or died directly in the Lu family. ”
"Ah, it's impossible, is your news accurate, how could such a strange thing happen?"
"Hey, of course my news is true, my brother-in-law's family are all villagers in Lujiazhuang, how could they fabricate such a story out of thin air, besides, the Lu family offered a reward of so many silver taels and invited people from the Daomen, doesn't it explain the problem?"
"Oh my God, if anyone can help the Lu family eradicate the monsters, it will be a full hundred thousand taels of silver, and you won't have to worry about eating and drinking for ten lifetimes!"
Zeng Jing was indifferent to Xiaoxiao, Shen Yu was thoughtful, Yuan Yue stretched out his hand and picked his nostrils, eager to try.
Soon, the shopkeeper sent a variety of fragrant and various meals one by one, and also brought two jars of fine wine and a pot of good tea to a few people.
For a while, all four of them had green eyes in their eyes, and Yuan Yue was even more drooling, without saying a word, including Xiaoxiao, all of them were swept away, gobbling up, and the shopkeeper who watched it was stunned for a while.
Not to mention, the chef of this tavern has really good cooking skills, plus the best hard dishes are served to Shen Yu and the four of them, except for fish and mutton and dog meat, there is no pork and chicken and duck at all, so the taste is wonderful.
Xiaoxiao ate for a while, suddenly remembered something, hurriedly stopped the chopsticks, got up and poured Shen Yu and the three of them full of wine, and then sat down again and began to eat.
Yuan Yue picked up the wine bowl, Meimei took a big sip, burped the wine, and said to Shen Yu: "Stinky boy, Poor Dao decided to go to that Lujiazhuang to take a look, not for the 100,000 taels of silver, but simply to eliminate harm for the people, what do you think?"
Shen Yu didn't think about it, and said: "Of course you can, my generation cultivates the Dao, it should be like this, not to mention that once we earn the 100,000 taels of silver, we will be able to suffer a lot less on the way to Yangzhou Province." ”
Yuan Yue picked up a piece of fragrant, smooth and tender dog meat and threw it into his mouth and chewed it, and after he was done, he scolded Shen Yu: "Things that have no interest, my generation cultivates, who cares about those yellow and white things, a young man like you who is pampered and refuses to suffer a little sin, what can he do in the future." ”
Shen Yu put down his chopsticks, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Dao Chang's words are reasonable, but I'm thinking, who will pay for this meal?"
Yuan Yue just brought the wine bowl to his mouth, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly put down the wine bowl and said in amazement: "What do you mean by this?"
Shen Yu stood up and slapped his pockets with a wry smile on his hands.
Zeng Jing and Xiaoxiao also reacted, and almost said in unison: "I don't have either." ”
The corners of Yuan Yue's mouth twitched: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Shen Yu: "Because I really want to eat it!"
The shopkeeper walked over with a straight face, no longer had the enthusiasm he had before, and said lightly: "Excluding the two upper rooms, the food, wine, and tea money are a total of ten taels of silver, who will give you a bill?"
Zeng Jing rubbed his hands with an embarrassed face.
Xiaoxiao flicked his wrist, and the piece of fish meat he had just picked up fell back into the plate.
Yuan Yue glared at Shen Yu fiercely and scolded, "Ask you, didn't you hear?"
Shen Yu said: "Dare to ask the second brother, what will be the consequences if I don't know how to make money?"
The diners next to him burst into laughter, looking at Shen Yu as if they were looking stupid.
The shopkeeper beckoned, cheered, and rushed over two strong men with big shoulders and round waists, staring at Shen Yu viciously.
Shen Yu touched his nose: "Don't slap your face, okay?"
He stood up with a smile: "No one can hurt my son-in-law." ”
Zeng Jing suddenly blocked in front of Shen Yu, holding the hilt of his sword, and the hero said shortly: "In this way, you beat me, don't beat the three of them, I promise not to fight back, how about it?"
