Chapter 285: Eating is a big problem
The magic weapon used for the return trip was not a flying boat, but Zhao Ruoxi's "green yarn tent".
A fluffy mass, as soft as a cloud, ten feet in circumference, enough to accommodate hundreds of people, as if covered with a layer of veil, but only a gentle breeze under the extreme speed of flight.
Sitting cross-legged on it, Xu Chen asked Song Yongping, "What are your plans in the future?"
Song Yongping smiled: "Didn't you say that you would take us out?"
Xu Chen squinted at him and asked, "Did you plan it from the beginning?"
"That's what I said!" Song Yongping smiled slyly and replied: "I didn't propose it first when I promised to do something!"
Xu Chen was silent for a moment, and said suspiciously: "You can't get out by yourself?"
"Do you think it doesn't cost money to go out?" Song Yongping said solemnly: "The more closed the domain, the longer it will be preserved, you understand this truth." In this era, this world has long since lost the slightest spiritual energy, and the various domains are only relying on a few spiritual veins to survive. ”
"It costs a lot of aura to break the big array and go out, and it will inevitably come in some toxins after the big array is broken, which will cost some aura, and the person who goes out has to wear an aura bracelet, which is also an aura, it doesn't seem to be much, but it adds up to a lot, and the limited aura in each domain will only get less and less. ”
Xu Chen was silent and asked, "Then why do monks often appear outside?"
"People always have to communicate!" Song Yongping said with a smile: "Besides, there are not a few people who have such thoughts as Zhao Yincheng, even if they grab more spiritual veins, they can't go up, and they may live longer! Otherwise, what do you think the purpose of the several wars in the past 10,000 years?"
"You want to go with him?" Zhao Ruoxi, who was sitting on the side, suddenly interjected: "Then can I go with me?"
Xu Chen was slightly stunned, looking at Zhao Ruoxi's good-looking smiling face, and was about to answer.
Yang Ziyun, who was sitting next to Xu Chen, said coldly with a straight face: "Can't!"
Xu Chen tilted his head, and Yang Ziyun's face was brewing with dark clouds, so he had to smile awkwardly at Zhao Ruoxi.
Zhao Ruoxi's face could not hide her disappointment, but she turned to talk about the interesting story of Biancheng.
The seriously injured Che Chi sat alone to breathe, while the teenagers lay behind Xu Chen to rest, and only Zhao Ruoxi's moving voice and Yang Ziyun's cold gaze remained on the green gauze tent.
The speed of the green gauze tent was very fast, faster than the flying boat that completed the sea that day, and it only took more than an hour to get from Turtle Island to Biancheng.
When the green gauze tent landed in the City Lord's Mansion, it was almost noon, and Zhao Ruoxi immediately took Xu Chen and the others to an independent courtyard.
"Do you want to rest first, or do you want to bring food right away?"
Before Xu Chen could speak, as soon as he heard that there was something to eat, Shi Lei's eyes immediately lit up, and he leaned over and asked, "Is there anything to eat?" Is it delicious? I have lost several pounds of dry food every day these days!"
Zhao Ruoxi smiled and said: "Of course it's delicious! What Xiaoshi likes to eat, just tell her sister, and my sister will make it for you!"
When Xu Chen heard this, he was surprised: "You can also cook?"
"Of course!" Zhao Ruoxi said proudly: "I am a good cook!"
"Yes, then you must try it!" Xu Chen said with a smile.
"Then wait a minute!"
Zhao Ruoxi finished speaking and left.
Looking at Xu Chen's expectant look, Yang Ziyun said indignantly: "What's the great thing about being able to cook? I'm going to live for so long, I'll do it too!"
Seeing that Xu Chen still didn't react, Yang Ziyun said angrily: "I won't eat it!"
After saying that, he chose a room and slammed the door in.
Xu Chen's head suddenly became as big as a fight, and he turned his head to see that the brothers were whispering, so he scolded: "Look at it! I don't want to eat anymore, do I?"
When it comes to eating, it's a problem.
These days in the lost space, the teenagers eat all the dry food that Xu Chen prepared in the outside world, beans, flour, vegetables, meat, eggs, fish and shrimp and other chopped and stirred and steamed lumpy cakes, the taste is not good, and the stomach is just full of hunger.
When eating, the teenagers took off their hoods, chewed them in three or two times, swallowed them, and took a few sips of water, and it was over.
But now this ...... You can't let your brothers eat with hoods, right?
Xu Chen didn't expect it at first, but when a table full of dishes was placed in front of him and the brothers could only stare dryly, it was suddenly realized.
"Why don't you eat it?" Zhao Ruoxi, who had been busy for a while before serving the wine and food, looked at the indifferent teenagers and wondered: "But the dishes are not appetizing?"
"Oh, no!" Xu Chen, who was in a tangle, hesitated: "Uh...... We have a habit of not having outsiders present during meals, otherwise we ......."
For such a lame reason, Xu Chen couldn't say it anymore halfway through.
Fortunately, Zhao Ruoxi is an empathetic girl, and she knows that Xu Chen has something unspeakable to hide at a glance, although she also wants to know more about Xu Chen's secrets, but seeing that the situation is stiff, she has no choice but to smile: "I originally planned to greet you well, but if this is the case, I will be out of company!"
With that, he left the spacious lobby and waved the maids who delivered the food to step down.
Seeing this, Song Yongping and others, who were at the same table, had no choice but to leave one after another.
Xu Chen glanced at Song Qing beside him, and Song Qing hurriedly got up and closed the door.
Xu Chen didn't think it was enough, took out a few array plates, and laid out a formation to isolate the divine sense, and then said to the brothers with a depressed face: "You say, what should I do now?"
"Why don't you take off your hood and eat it with your breath?" Fang Zhou is also a foodie, looking at the dazzling array of dishes in front of him, he has already moved his index finger.
"Beat to death! Beat to death!" The stone that had long been unbearable stuffed his mouth full of vegetables, nodded vaguely, and after swallowing it in one gulp, he suddenly said with a face full of surprise: "This thing is so delicious!"
Hearing him say this, how could the young men, who were already hungry, still be able to endure it? They took off their helmets one after another, and stuffed themselves with their breath.
"Pay attention to turn off the switch of the cylinder, be careful not to collapse the house!" Seeing this, Xu Chen had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.
At first, it was okay, and the teenagers who ate the delicious food were satisfied, but after holding on for a while, the teenagers who did not have the slightest oxygen supply began to be unable to support it.
While chewing food in their mouths, the teenagers hurriedly put on their helmets again, immediately turned on the switch of the cylinder, and after breathing fresh oxygen, their faces were better.
However, only a moment later, the faces of the teenagers suddenly tangled!
He quickly took off his helmet and vomited on the ground.
"Damn! What is this?"
The boys spat out a pile of gray powder, accompanied by a little liquid, which looked similar to the decomposition of the monks.
Xu Chen thought about it, and immediately suddenly said: "The mouth and nose are connected, and the food in your mouths has been decomposed!"
Hearing the eldest brother say this, the teenagers suddenly looked sad, and they all looked at Shi Lei, who was eating heartily, and their eyes suddenly became bad.
Feeling the unkind gaze of his brothers, Shi Lei grabbed the thigh of an unknown animal in his hand, stopped, and said with a wry smile: "Why don't you wait until I finish eating, and I will give you the jade pendant?"
Xu Chen thought for a moment and said, "That's it, everyone swallows the food and then breathes, although the food may also be broken down in the esophagus and stomach, but I think it should still be able to replenish energy......
Xu Chen really has no way to do this situation, although the oxygen is from the mouth and nose to the trachea and then to the lungs when breathing, but it is difficult to ensure that there is no oxygen in the stomach, and these foods in the cultivation realm will have to be decomposed by oxygen before they have time to be digested by the stomach.
And Xu Chen and Shi Lei carried jade pendants, and oxygen directly entered the lungs through the body surface, so they could naturally enjoy the food wholeheartedly.
As soon as he heard what the eldest brother said, the foodie Fang Zhou suddenly looked sad: "If you want me to eat a pile of dust into it, then it's better not to eat it!"
The mouths of the teenagers had long been nourished by the food cooked by Xu Chen, but when they heard that the delicacies on the table turned into a pile of dust in their stomachs, they suddenly lost their appetite.
Shi Lei, who was working hard, suddenly trembled, and when he looked up, he saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, full of resentment.
"I ...... I'm going to hurry up!"
The teenagers ate a meal for a long time, and after Xu Chen and Shi Lei finished eating, they passed the jade pendant one by one.
It's not just a matter of swallowing it, everyone has to wait for a while until the food in the stomach is roughly covered by stomach acid to ensure that it is not broken down by the oxygen that is inhaled.
Of course, in the absence of a perspective lens, you can only make a rough estimate and ask for comfort.
Zhao Ruoxi, who was outside the door, waited for a long time, and his divine sense probed over and over again, but he found nothing, and there was a trace of doubt on his curious face.
The door opened again, Xu Chen clenched his fists, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry!
Zhao Ruoxi glanced at everyone with an inquiring gaze, and she had no choice but to smile and reply: "There is a lantern festival in the city at night, do you want to go?"
"Lantern Festival?
After speaking, Xu Chen stopped, different regions, and naturally different habits.
Zhao Ruoxi nodded and said, "It's a celebration to commemorate the last dynasty!"
Xu Chen asked, "Shuofeng Dynasty?"
Zhao Ruoxi was slightly startled and asked, "Do you know too?"
Xu Chen smiled and nodded: "I have seen it in ancient books." ”
"No wonder!" Zhao Ruoxi was relieved, but said with a lonely face: "People only remember this festival now, as for how it came about, I'm afraid few people know!"
Biancheng is a city on the mainland 10,000 years ago, and it has always adhered to Zhengshuo.
Since the great changes in the world and the world, how can the various sect forces that have long been tired of the shackles of the dynasty still abide by the laws and decrees of that year? Over the years, they have constantly downplayed the influence of that dynasty and even consciously destroyed some classics, just to maintain their own independent rule.
It's just that time has passed, and even in Biancheng now, few people remember the events of that year.
Xu Chen couldn't understand Zhao Ruoxi's sentimentality, so naturally he couldn't comfort anything.
Zhao Ruoxi, who felt out of shape, hurriedly came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I came to you that night!"
Then he turned and walked away.
After thinking about it, Xu Chen still walked to Yang Ziyun's room, knocked on the door and said, "Are you still angry?
"You have to take care of it!"
"Then do you eat or not?"
"I don't want to eat what the old woman made!"
"Shall I do it for you?"
“…… It has to be better than hers!"
"You haven't eaten anything anyone else made, how can you compare?"
"You have to take care of it!"
……
