Yunyi City, Pengke comes.

It is a single-family building built on an artificial lake in the middle of the city, backed by green mountains and willows, and several rows of wooden bridges above the turquoise lake to separate it from the land, creating an otherworldly mood.

As the largest, highest-grade and best-in-class restaurant in the center of Yunyi City, this restaurant gathers visitors from all over the world. When cooking gold and jade, the eight treasures and jade food offered are feasting, which means that the people who come can only be wealthy businessmen, and of course, it has also become a place for monks to adjust their food after boring cultivation.

On the second floor, there is a window seat with a beautiful view, and there is steaming hot tea on the table and a plate of fatty white shrimp filled with delicately carved white porcelain.

It's just that he doesn't have any desire to move his chopsticks, he just came here to inquire about some news, and the tea and food on the table were also specially ordered to stay.

The rippling light waves reflected by the lake swayed irregularly on his face, and the hustle and bustle of the restaurant made him a little distracted for a moment.

It was only two hours before the return of the Baiyang Sect monks, and the entire sect was on high alert, and at this time, he was also the first to go out of the mountain gate. When he went out of the mountain, the excuse for encountering the monk guarding the gate was that the medicinal materials in the sect were too consumed, and he made urgent replenishments according to the elder's instructions.

The monks who guarded the wheel under the mountain were also acquaintances, and there was naturally no doubt about Du Rong's words, although seeing that the sect had changed greatly now, there were some six gods and no masters, and the grounding order in the door had not had time to be promulgated by the elders for the time being, so he still let him go without hindrance.

Even if Du Rong didn't do it himself, Zong Cao and the others would order it. It's just that now that Feng Zizhen has not yet come out of retreat, the heavy responsibility of refining this elixir naturally falls on him.

In this special period, Durong, who has become the main alchemist of the Baiyang Sect, has naturally become a key object of protection, and if it is reported layer by layer, even if it is down the mountain, it is conceivable that there will be foundation building monks to protect it.

This has obviously become a big obstacle for Durong, who has his own thoughts, and he is naturally unhappy.

He was also extremely careful when he went down the mountain this time, and used the effect of the Breath Gathering Pill to completely suppress his cultivation, but now the outside of the Baiyang Sect was unexpectedly silent, anyway, there were no hidden people watching within the scope of his spiritual power exploration.

This abnormal state made him even more vigilant, and during this time, he finally learned a little bit by reading through the "Hundred Arrays Compendium". Touching the spiritual energy intake point of the formation and injecting his spiritual power, the dense fog surging at the foot of the Phantom Array Mountain also expanded slightly outward by two feet, extending to the road that could be traversed by horses.

This was enough for him to hide in it, sneaking all the way through the white mist, walking along the edge of the mountain range to the depths of the mountain forest before breaking out of the fog and heading in the direction of Yunyi City.

Of course, buying medicinal materials is one of the points on this trip, and the most important thing is that such a big thing has happened in the sect, and there will be gossip outside. Although there are so many disciples from this sect who have returned, and the information will eventually spread within the sect, after all, it is just the words of one family, and it cannot be trusted.

It's just that he sat in this Pengke for half an hour, although the words of the people nearby could reach his ears in every detail under the diffusion of spiritual power, but most of them were trivial daily matters between mortals. The people of other sects are also like the Baiyang Sect, he is not a single one.

Occasionally, there were conversations between monks, although there was talk about the withdrawal of the local sect's troops from the Dry Grass Valley, but most of them were also some followers, but there was one thing that they didn't know.

Not only the Baiyang Sect, but even the Tianxiang Pavilion, the Colorful Butterfly Valley, the Cangyan Sect, and the Zhou family all lost a lot of people and horses, and they returned to their respective territories and couldn't get out.

This is very intriguing, all the big forces in Yunfeng Country have taken similar methods since they returned from the Dry Grass Valley, if it is said that the prohibition in the valley has scared all the Jindan Foundation Cultivators into self-isolation, it is quite unreasonable.

Pick up a plump and round shrimp and put it in your mouth, and feel the refreshing shrimp meat bouncing in your mouth.

In addition to being a little bigger, a little fuller, a little more flexible, and a little more delicious than the ones I have ever eaten...... Other than that, it doesn't seem to have any other advantages. Just this thing dares to ask for twenty taels of silver, it's really a black-hearted shop.

Du Rong pursed his lips, thinking indignantly, and then threw a few more into his mouth.

Well, it's just more fragrant.

I felt that it would be difficult to gain any effective information if I continued to stay in the restaurant, so I still went to Yuannu's place, and I would definitely be able to get some news back.

When he put down his chopsticks and was about to get up, he saw a small face suddenly appear on the side of his table.

A boy who was no more than five years old, with a set of big, old clothes on his lean body, and his face was not as rosy as a child should have. Two small hands were on the edge of the table, and he was able to lift most of his head above the height of the table.

The small mouth pursed hard, full of longing, looking at the plate of shrimp in front of Du Rong that had eaten a few but was already a lot colder.

"Ah, whose child is this?" Du Rong shouted softly, looking at the boy who suddenly appeared at his table with amusement.

Hearing this, the little boy was a little scared but still reluctant to walk away, and subconsciously glanced back at the location of the hall. Following his gaze, I saw a woman in her early twenties, dressed as a clerk, busily cleaning up a table where the guests had just left.

A steward scrutinized her movements very carefully, and another ran to beckon the new guests to take their seats.

It turned out to be the child of the female helper in the store, looking at the child's yellow face and thin and very well-behaved, Du Rong also felt quite pitiful, and the feeling of sympathy for the disease arose.

I think that at the beginning, when he was so old, he was not lying outside the window of the main hall of the Yan Mansion like this child, watching the people inside against the table full of delicacies.

"Do you want to eat?" asked Du Rong with a pleasant face, knowing what the kid was thinking.

His already kind and cheerful face made the boy in front of him somewhat let down his guard. He nodded subconsciously, and then shook it quickly, but the pace that didn't move a single point still honestly betrayed the little one's inner thoughts.

Du Rong smiled warmly and didn't say much. He took another pair of clean chopsticks from the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fat shrimp, and handed it to the boy's lips as he looked more and more expectant.

"Come, brother, please eat. ”

Faced with the fresh scent of the river in front of him, the little guy couldn't help but lean over and open his mouth, carefully holding it in his mouth. After chewing it a few times, the little brain melon couldn't help shaking its head happily under the impact of the huge sense of happiness brought by the taste buds, and they couldn't help but smile warmly when they saw this.

"An An, how many times have I told you, you must not look for guests to eat! Why are you so disobedient this child!" A slightly anxious female voice came from far and near.

The female worker walked in small steps, rubbing her hands uneasily. Which one can dine here is not rich or expensive, in case their children are ignorant and casually annoys the guests here, then the entire Yunyi City is afraid that there is no place for their family.

The boy who was called An An turned around and said happily to his mother: "Mother, this is given to me by my brother himself, it turns out that this shrimp is delicious!"

Hearing the child's unadorned words, the woman's expression darkened, even if she was doing errands in this most exclusive restaurant, she could only get a commission of eight taels a month at best. Most of the rent for the house in the city that he shared with his husband was left, and even ordinary meat was rarely placed on the kitchen board.

She can't afford any of the dishes in the store, plus the leftovers of the guests can only be destroyed and discarded, and each table is equipped with a steward to inspect before and after the meal, so it is impossible to steal a bite.

This prevents Pengkelai from being left out of the extravagant ingredients and meals by a cheap means, so as to ensure that the business can still be so popular under such a high price.

"This guest, the child is still young and does not know how to be polite, if there is any offense, please bear a few points. The woman said apologetically, looking terrified.

"It's okay, this is what I did spontaneously when I saw that your child was well-behaved and cute, and besides, I have already moved a few chopsticks for this dish, so I still have to ask my wife to forgive me for feeding your child this leftover." ”

Seeing the panicked demeanor of the woman in front of him, he was quite emotional, once upon a time he was no different from this common people, but now he is a monk who can determine his livelihood in one sentence and cut off people's lives with his actions.

The polarization of this world is far more cruel and direct than that of the previous life.

Once cultivated, the fish jumped into the dragon gate.

Seeing that Du Rong was so easy to speak, the woman was very surprised, which of the guests who came here was not high, and regarded them as the lords of the subordinates at will.

I was moved in my heart, but I felt that my nose was infarcted, and I lowered my voice and said: "Where are the guests, it is a blessing to be able to eat such a bite with our pickled and humble bodies, and you will torture me when you say this." ”

Du Rong smiled, and was about to say something, but his diffused spiritual power unexpectedly caught information that sounded quite reliable.

After a while, he smiled at the boy and said, "An An, is it okay for this shrimp brother to take it away for you?"

The boy's eyes lit up, there were so many delicious things left, if he could bring them back, his father and mother would be able to eat them. But he still turned his head and looked at his mother, and the search in his eyes couldn't hide the longing contained in his eyes.

The woman looked at the lonely single pot dish on the Durong table, and hesitated: "Guest, you only have such a dish, if you give it to the dog, what will you eat?"

"I'm still waiting for someone to come, this thing is just for appetizing, they don't like this smell. I'm still stunned, wrap things up, I'll pay for it. Du Rong said, his eyes had already looked through the noisy crowd to the staircase on this floor.

"Thank you so much, as for how can this packaging fee make you break the bank. An'an, thank you for this distinguished guest!" the woman said happily.

"Thank you, brother, you're so nice!" the little boy called sweetly.

The helper who delivers the food to the restaurant has no reason to stop it, since it is the customer's intention. When it was put into the delicate wooden box and handed over to the little boy, he was firmly held in his arms, and his face was full of anticipation for today's dinner.

Seeing that this was just delaying his departure for a while, the child who had a message delivered to the door smiled and scratched his face.

"An An, you are really a little lucky star. ”
