Wangyuan City is located on the coast of the Xize Sea, the city is not large, the geographical location is remote, except for some monks who practice ascetic here, there are few other monks who live in some long-term places.

The aura here is relatively thin, and it is far away from the capital city where the Eastern Heavenly Alliance is located, the Eastern Heavenly City, there are no other products, and the monks can only rely on hunting the demon pills of the demon beasts in the sea in exchange for cultivation resources.

After Ping Fan took a turn in Wangyuan City, he couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on his face. There were no bustling street markets, no noisy shouts of buying, only a few humble shops, each with a few elixirs or magic utensils, and the men leaned listlessly in front of the counter, or in a daze, or counting their fingers in boredom.

Although there are many rooms in the city, most of them are empty, and no one lives in them, and even there are few pedestrians on the road, which makes the entire Wangyuan City look very depressed and deserted.

Ping Fan wanted to find a better restaurant to have a good meal and then sleep well, but he searched for a long time, and finally found only a small shop specializing in seafood.

It is said that it specializes in seafood, but in fact, there are no other ingredients available here except for the monsters in the sea.

"There's no way, we'll just have to settle here first. ”

Laughing helplessly, after saying a word to Xiao Diao on his shoulder, he strode into a small shop called "Wanghai Building".

As soon as I stepped into the store, I was greeted by the enthusiastic shouts of the guys.

"Welcome to our store, Taoist friends please. ”

A young man with a thin figure was walking towards him with a smile on his face, and judging by his dress, he should be the owner of this shop.

Ping Fan nodded at the young man, then swept his gaze to the store, and found that there was no one else in the store, let alone diners, except for a female nun leaning against the counter in a daze.

After finding a table and sitting down, Ping Fan asked the thin young man, "I said shopkeeper, why isn't there even a person eating here, is it that your family's dishes are not cooked well!"

Daoyou said with a smile, although the wine and food in this store are not as good as the big restaurants in Dongtian City, but they are not much worse, but this place is located in the middle of nowhere, there are no foreign monks, and the local monks only care about penance, which makes the business here worse. The shopkeeper sighed, then handed the recipe to Pingfan.

Pingfan smiled noncommittally, then took the recipe handed over by the shopkeeper, glanced at it casually, and found that most of the ingredients in it were the meat of the monster beasts in the sea, which was no different from the seafood that Pingfan said, he casually pointed out a dozen dishes, and then handed the menu back to the shopkeeper.

"That's all for me! Serve me another pot of good wine, and that's it!"

"Okay! Fellow Daoist waits, the dish will be served immediately. ”

The shopkeeper happily took the menu, and after a polite salute to the ordinary, he turned to the female nun on the counter and said, "Sister Yao, you're here, you entertain first, I'll go to the back kitchen to prepare first." ”

As soon as the nun who was leaning on the counter and was stunned heard that the distinguished guests were coming, the whole person suddenly came to her senses, and then she took a teapot from behind the counter, put a few pieces of spiritual tea leaves, and filled it with water, and came to the ordinary table with the tea tray.

"Fellow Daoist, please drink tea. ”

"Thank you!"

Ordinary poured a cup of spiritual tea, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and took another sip, just like the female cultivator named Yao Mei in front of her, the person is average, and the tea is also average.

However, compared to the medium-sized teahouses in Jiaozhou, it is still better.

After the female shopkeeper finished delivering the tea, she was about to leave when she saw the ordinary person stop.

"Female shopkeeper, your shop is so deserted, even if they are all closed and don't eat, but the pill or something, there is still a need for it! I see that there is no business in the nearby pill shop, what is going on?"

Ordinary people are very curious, not only the pill shop, but even the shop that sells magic weapons has no business, even if those people go out to sea all day long to hunt and kill the kraken, or hide in some dark place to retreat and practice, then they also need pills and magic weapons or something!

Besides, although this city is not big, it is not small after all, and it is impossible for only a few people to walk around in the market, which is a little wrong no matter how you look at it.

Yao Mei smiled bitterly, lowered her voice, and said: "Daoist friends don't know, this was not the case here, since someone found a large number of corpses of demon beasts in the nearby sea a year ago, there have been cases of missing monks in this city one after another~ Even the monks who went out to sea to hunt demon beasts have never returned, and in the end, the missing disappeared, and the walked, this Wangyuan City has become the scene it is today." ”

"Oh, and this matter, then why don't you go and find out the reason?

It stands to reason that so many people have died in this Wangyuan City, and as the city lord of this city, he has the responsibility to find out the reason, but looking at this situation, this city lord seems to be concerned.

"The city lord naturally checked, but he checked and checked, and finally only said that those missing people went to sea, as for why they didn't come back, they said that they might have been eaten by the kraken. ”

When Yao Mei said this, anger suddenly appeared on her face, and then she said: "Although it is very risky to go to sea to hunt demons, it is normal to die one or two, but dozens of people go to sea together, even if they go to sea and meet a powerful kraken, among dozens of people, they can escape back to one or two!

"Then why don't you go to the city lord theory?" asked Pingfan suspiciously.

"Of course, we questioned the results of the city lord's investigation, but the city lord said that this is the result, and if we are not satisfied with his investigation results, we can leave Wangyuan City on our own. What do you say the city lord is talking about, their foreign monks are fine, and they are gone. But how can those of us who have lived in this city for generations say that we can just leave!" The more Yao Mei spoke, the more excited she became, and in the end, even her eyes turned a little red.

"Serve!"

At this moment, the sound of serving food sounded in the back kitchen, and Yao Mei immediately got up and walked to the counter, brought a pot of wine and chopsticks and put it on the table, and then returned to the counter and said no more.

"Steamed Wenyao fish, braised mussels, Taoist friends, please use slowly. ”

The shopkeeper who entered the restaurant saw that she was talking in front of the ordinary, and after glaring at Yao Mei, he put the dish in his hand on the table.

"The insiders are not sensible, if there is anything missing, I hope that the Taoist friends will not take it to heart, this Luoyuan City is not peaceful, after using up the wine, if the Taoist friends are fine, it is better to leave quickly. ”

Pingfan nodded noncommittally, and from the eyes of the two of them, it could be seen that the shopkeeper obviously didn't want to say more about what was happening in the city, but he still kindly advised Pingfan to leave quickly.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he went to the back kitchen, and after that, Yao Mei never said anything to Pingfan, and there was only the sound of him and Xiao Diao drinking and eating food in the whole store.

Although these ingredients are not the meat of high-level demon beasts, they are quite delicious to eat. Half an hour later, the ordinary who was full of wine and food paid the shopkeeper a hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and under their grateful eyes, they left Wanghailou and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
