Volume 1 Chapter 19 The Pact of Life and Death
Ningxi Lake's bounty order was faked by Murong Junjie, which was originally a spirit master-level mission, and he used spiritual magic to disguise it as a spirit master mission. Although Lan Jiu and Ah Man, who were almost harmed, lost their lives, when they returned the token, they actually received a reward of one hundred taels of silver, and this windfall made the two earth buns very happy.
This hundred taels is the biggest wealth that Lan Jiu and Ah Man have ever seen in their lives, it is simply too much money.
Lan Jiu decided that no matter what, he would give the local tyrant a hand and go to have a big celebration.
She half-leaned on the counter and asked Xiao Erda of the Swordsman Inn, "Little brother, let me ask you, which is the best restaurant in our Longqing Mansion?" How much silver does it cost to eat a meal? "She is an experienced person, last time she ate a drunken fragrant chicken in the Zuixiang Building in Canglong Town, but because she didn't know the price, she ate chicken at one meal and starved ten times. We can't afford to make that mistake again this time.
The little brother looked up and smiled: "I can't say which one is the best, each has its own flavor." If you eat river fresh, go to Mingyue Tower, where the fish is a must. If you eat game, Muyun Pavilion is the best, there is a shop opened by the blue wolf clan, and all rare birds and beasts are eaten. Home-cooked side dishes go to Lao Lin's house, their house has been open for more than 800 years, and the taste is very authentic. And ......"
Lan Jiu couldn't listen to it anymore, why did these sound expensive: "Then, then, which one is the cheapest?" How much does the cheapest cost? ”
"The cheapest." The little second brother thought for a while: "Among what I just said, Lao Lin's family is the cheapest, if you eat a meal, you can order less dishes, and one or two hundred taels of silver will be enough." ”
Lan Jiu's arm leaning against the counter went weak, and his whole body slid down, almost falling into a dog's mouth. I was in high spirits just now, but now I am depressed again.
The little second brother looked at her like that, and suddenly laughed: "I'm teasing you, what I just said is not what we ordinary people eat." If you want to eat well, go to Beixifang, where there is a Sun family building, and the dishes are all authentic Longqing dishes that you are satisfied with, and the price is also affordable. Our gourmets in Longqing Mansion love to go there. Let your family eat less, and twenty taels of silver will care about the beauty of your food. By the way, be sure to order their spicy colorful chicken, in one word, absolutely! ”
"Deler, then we'll go to Sun's house." Lan Jiu took Ah Man with him, and on the way, he couldn't stop settling down with Ah Man: "You are not allowed to let go of eating, let's mainly go to taste the taste." ”
Ah Man nodded busily: "Boss, don't worry, you will eat the food first, and I will make the rest after you finish eating." ”
Lan Jiu gave Ah Man a look of "knowing the times".
This Sunjialou is really a good store known by locals, and you can smell the fragrance from afar. The spicy and fragrant taste drilled into my nose one by one, and my saliva couldn't help but bubble out.
Walking closer, Lan Jiu was shocked and sad, there was such a long line in front of the Sun family's building, and each person held a small bamboo sign with a number written on it. Okay, you have to queue up!
Lan Jiu took the number and looked at it, eighty-nine, and then looked at the person at the front of the line, holding a thirty-three number plate in his hand, and he had to wait for more than fifty tables to reach him. The little brother who sent the sign at the door, seeing her anxious face, said very intimately: "Girl, don't worry, our store is very big, and the first wave of customers is about to leave, and it will be your turn in an hour or two." ”
Lan Jiu and Ah Man haven't eaten all day for this big meal, they will already be hungry, but people, that's it, the longer they wait, the more they feel that it's worth waiting. So Lan Jiu was reluctant to leave. Anyway, the most thing she and Ah Man have is time, wait.
Ah Man also learned from the others to move two small chairs over, and sat at the back of the line with Lan Jiu.
The little brother really didn't deceive people, and after a while, the customers in the store walked out in waves. The team was suddenly shortened by a large margin, and hope was at hand. Lan Jiu kept poking his head out to watch, and he already felt that the trip was worth it before he ate it.
Sitting in front of them was a very beautiful fox demon with a fluffy tail swaying in a sweep. accidentally bumped into Lan Jiu, and the fox demon turned his head and said sorry.
"Hey, you fox demons also love to eat human food?" Lan Jiu asked curiously.
The fox demon's whole body turned around, and said with a smile: "I have finally cultivated into a human being, so naturally I want to taste the delicious food in the world, and then go to Ru Mao to drink blood, wouldn't it be a waste." ”
"Sister is really amazing, this person's words are much more level than what I said, and he is very literate." Lan Jiu's heartfelt praise made him feel that Longqing Mansion was really good, even a demon was so cultured.
The fox demon couldn't help but cooin and laugh when she heard her praise, a little like a fox calling: "Really? Are you sure? Actually, I don't go out very often, but this time I deliberately learned human language for a long time. Hey, why are there so many people, I don't know what food is the best here. ”
This fox demon seems to be particularly keen to speak.
Lan Jiu borrowed the words of the little second brother and said: "Be sure to order their spicy and colorful chicken, one word, absolutely amazing!" ”
The fox demon was very happy when he heard this, and poked a male fox demon sitting next to him with his arm and said, "Hey, the best thing to eat here is spicy colorful chicken, I love to eat colorful chicken, especially like to drink their blood." ”
The male fox demon was a little helpless: "It's all dead here, where is the blood for you to drink, if you want to drink blood, I'll catch two alive for you tomorrow." ”
The female fox demon was not happy: "I'm baba, what kind of living and dead, we are human now, so naturally we have to eat and boil hot, oh, no, how to say it, yes, cooked." ”
The man coughed twice: "Ahem, what the hell, choke me to death, you can eat it yourself later, I can't eat spicy." ”
Lan Jiu looked at the fox demon, then at her companion, and couldn't help asking, "Sister, are you all so beautiful in the fox clan?" ”
The fox demon was just about to answer, when he heard a yin and yang strange voice: "Yo, I'm not mistaken, the beggar is celebrating the New Year, and he actually came to the restaurant." ”
It's that hateful Murong Junjie again, how can he be everywhere. The road is narrow, and it's right.
Lan Jiu raised his eyes and glanced at him, he really didn't want to ruin his good mood for today's dinner because of him. But Murong Junjie still wanted to come up.
"Oops," he slapped his head exaggeratedly, "I forgot, you stole my bounty order and did a big job to make money, that's why you came here to eat and drink." ”
Not to mention how loud he said this, all the people in line looked at it for a while.
"How can there be such a person, stealing the reward order, it's too shameless."
"Yes, when did our Longqing Mansion have such a person with no moral qualities?"
"It must be a wild miscellaneous spirit, it must not be from the Xuanjian Sect, otherwise it will be expelled from the sect."
...... Murong Junjie was banned from receiving the order by the Cultivators Guild for two years because he privately changed the level of the reward order, which made him angry. happened to meet Lan Jiu, so he had to find some trouble to vent his anger.
For a while, there was everything to say, Lan Jiu wanted to calm things down, but he really couldn't swallow this breath.
"Can you, a spirit master, be stolen by me? Who believes when you say it? Even if it's true, it can only mean that I am capable, and you, yes, a, waste, firewood! "There is such a thing as quarrelling, Lan Jiu really hasn't lost.
"I'm sorry" Murong Junjie spat on the ground, he jumped to his feet with the sentence "waste wood", and people in the family from childhood to big family liked to scold him for "waste wood".
Speaking of which, this Murong Junjie seems to be particularly easy to be caught by Lan Jiu, and every time he can poke his most sore spot with a word, he glared at Lan Jiu with sesame eyes: "You have great ability?" Do you dare to make a life and death contract with me? ”
The contract of life and death is a contract signed between practitioners, and life and death are not pursued. And once the contract of life and death is signed, it cannot be canceled, otherwise both of them will be counterattacked, just like the oath of the Canglong Continent, as if they are controlled by a pair of hands in the dark. Anyway, once signed, no one can escape, can't hide. So this is a very solemn kind of challenge contract.
Ah Man hurriedly grabbed the corner of Lan Jiu's clothes: "Boss, you can't agree, he is a spirit master, which is clearly a bully." ”
"Yes, it's so unfair for a spirit master to sign a life and death contract with a spirit man." The people around him started talking again.
Murong Junjie was not ashamed, but proudly said: "If you don't dare, return the silver of the reward order to me." If it weren't for me, you two would have fed the fish. ”
"I've seen shameless, I've never seen you so shameless. You even ......" Lan Jiu was really angry with this shameless villain, and he almost shook out the fact that he killed Quande. But firstly, there is no evidence for that incident, and there is no basis for what they say, and secondly, they have suffered a lot of losses under Murong Junjie, if they force him to be in a hurry, with their current strength, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat. So, although he was angry, he still stopped and didn't continue.
"You little miscellaneous spirit, who are you ashamed of?" Murong Junjie was in a hurry, and a few wooden thorns flew over.
Do you dare to just move your mouth and don't do it, Lan Jiu complained bitterly in his heart, could it be that he couldn't eat today's feast, and he had to make Ah Man covered in injuries?
Who knew that the tail of the fox demon sister just now suddenly swept over, and the wooden thorns ding, all fell to the ground, scattered into the soil and disappeared.
"I said this duke? Ah, no... Male... Person? Oh no, male...... Son, yes, childe, it's not appropriate for you to bully a little girl in public, right? After speaking, she turned her head to look at Lan Jiu proudly and asked, "Sister, sister, what I said is right." ”
Lan Jiu nodded violently: "That's right, it's a second, this duke is bullying me." ”
The fox demon smiled and fascinated all beings. The male fox demon pulled her back with some impatience: "Don't be nosy." ”
Seeing this, Murong Junjie sneered: "My son's surname is Murong, and he is a member of the Wuji Sect, this is my private matter with her, you all give me less nosy!" ”
The male fox demon glanced at Murong Junjie unhappily, but he still grabbed the female fox demon who wanted to uphold justice. The female fox demon was unwilling to earn it, but was taken into her arms by the male fox demon, whispered a few words in her ear, and the female fox demon finally settled down. His eyes were staring at Murong Junjie deadly.
