Chapter 28: The Thoughts of the Parties
"When the matter of the banquet of thousands of people in front of me is finalized, I will plant spiritual roots. Yan Yan turned his back to Canghua and squatted in front of Qingtian, his tone was very calm.
Canghua bowed: "Okay, I can do it at any time." ”
Yan Yan: "Will the Nine Spikes be ripe by then?"
Canghua: "You don't need to worry about this. ”
Yan Yan knew that what Canghua said was so easy, that is, he had to use his own spiritual power.
Yan Yan looked back at him: "You want to ripen the Nine Spikes, and you also have to help me plant the spiritual root, will it affect you?"
Although Canghua had already begun to cultivate, he was only a wisp of remnant soul after all, and the speed of improving his spiritual power was limited, but he promised without hesitation, which made Yan Yan a little moved.
"It's okay, even if you consume more, it's a big deal to recover after a while. Besides, I can cultivate now, and I won't be sleeping for as long as I used to. ”
Canghua didn't care about what he said, but Yan Yan knew that the long time in his mouth was three thousand years.
According to this ratio, how long does it take to convert to "a while"?
Seeing that she was worried, Canghua gently comforted: "Since I have told Er Cheng, I will do my best to go to the future with you, and I will not leave you alone." ”
Yan Yan's heart was shocked.
Since he has spoken to her, will he also be in a life and death agreement?
Raising his head, facing the purple eyes of Shangcanghua with soft stars, Yan Yan was silent for a moment and changed the topic: "You told me." I mentioned it to Mu Juan'er and them about the impact of Qi fluctuations on the creatures in this world, but I don't think anyone will believe it, and people in the world usually only believe what they see with their own eyes. ”
Canghua: "It's okay, even if this thing really happens, you can't do it, it's important to protect yourself first." Find an opportunity to plant spiritual roots as soon as possible and start cultivating. ”
"Good!"

"Master, Bi Cheng actually left without saying hello this morning, this is sneaking away. Hehe, he's giving up competing with Master for chef in advance. Manlu whispered to Chef Qu's face, a gloating smirk.
"Phew!" Chef Qu took a sip: "Lao Tzu has seen the surname Bi unpleasantly these years, relying on a little craftsmanship, who will show him a long stinky face all day long?
Man Lu was on the side to help flatter and echo, and when he heard the last sentence, he smiled and said: "The chef must be you, Master, you are also in the eyes of the apprentice's performance this time, if Bi Cheng leaves, his lack of ......"
Chef Qu slapped Man Lu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, when I become the head chef, the sous chef will reward you with a boy!"
"Okay Master, in the future, you will be the apprentice's father, and the apprentice will definitely honor you as much as his father!"
The beginning of the morning (3 to 5 a.m.) is the heaviest time for people to sleep.
At this hour, the vast majority of people in Luwu City were asleep, and even the stray cats and dogs in the deep alleys on the street corners yawned to find some sheltered woodpile and snore.
However, in a huge city, there are always people who can't sleep peacefully, such as Ye Xianglang who walks the streets and alleys, and then the chef Manlu of Haoyuanlou, and Bi Cheng, the former assistant chef of Haoyuanlou.
The east of the city, is the place where the rich gather to live, walk into this piece of urban area, the people on both sides of the road are sparse, the competition is all Zhumen embroidered households, the pavilion and the pavilion are faintly leaning out of the eaves of a carved beam from behind the gable, just like the boudoir girl who is shy hidden in the deep house, it is desirable.
The dark gray coarse felt shoulders that were tightly wrapped around his upper body were hidden by the blue brick exterior wall of a house on the corner of the street, and he couldn't help but look in one direction with his neck stretched.
About half an hour later, a Qingwei carriage slowly came from the other end of the bluestone road, there was no driver on the wheel, but the horse stopped at the corner where Manlu was located very obediently and neatly.
Manlu hurriedly ran over and respectfully bowed to the falling cyan curtain: "Everything has been done according to your instructions, but that thing is a little insufficient, you can reward some more for the small ones." ”
After Manlu finished speaking, the car was very quiet, and after a few breaths, from the gap next to the curtain, a fair-skinned, slender and even-boned man's hand stretched out, Manlu hurriedly reached over, and a pale yellow paper bag and a small bag of silver fell on Manlu's hand.
Manlu thanked him happily, and the horse pulling the cart did not stop long, and before he could straighten up, he slowly opened his hooves, and still turned back and left along the road from which he came, and soon disappeared completely into the gray morning mist.
Manlu was holding a silver bag in his hand, and he was overjoyed, this money was really easy to come by...... He swayed his steps, wondering where to drink two glasses......
Before the person had gone far, Manlu's ears suddenly "buzzed", and his whole person was stunned.
As if a voice was heard from outside the sky, an ethereal voice that could not be distinguished between male and female sounded in Manlu's ears: "The banquet of thousands of people in the mansion, you must do what I instruct." If there is a mistake, your life will not be guaranteed. ”
Man Lu peed his pants in fright, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Don't worry, the little one must do what the fairy master ordered, and the little one won't dare to deceive the fairy master even if he lies to my father......"
Everything around is still quietly shrouded in the night.
On the branch of the old tree at the head of the wall, a napping fat cat was woken up by the sound of a full record of crying, and its eyes opened a slit, and it looked at him lazily, and then closed again, and soon a rhythmic snoring sound.
Manlu, who was kneeling in the middle of the street, secretly looked around with his eyes, made sure that there was no movement, got up and ran.

To the north of the city is the city gate close to Luwu Mountain.
Contrary to Dongcheng, this is the area where the nine streams under Luwu City gather the most, and it is also the area where all kinds of small merchants and hawkers gather in the whole city.
Every morning, the hunters bring the game they have hunted from the gates into the city and sell it to the butchers who wait here in the middle of the night, waiting to grab the first thing for the day.
Bi Cheng and Yan Yan were standing with a group of meat vendors at the moment, waiting for the return of the hunters.
The night dew was heavy, dyed through the hot sideburns, strands of hair were attached to the side of her face, and the hair on the top of her head was still hung with very small droplets, fluffy, looking like the down feathers of a chick, covering her usual cleverness, adding a little softness to her temperament.
Looking at the thin and petite Yan Yan, standing in the middle of a group of five big and three thick butchers, Bi Cheng was a little moved in his heart.
Although this girl is not wearing high-quality silk and satin, she is also dressed up a little exquisitely, with a neat and delicate body, and her gestures have her own unique temperament.
Yan Yan told him to go out this morning last night, he didn't think that she would personally accompany him out in the middle of the night, but when Bi Cheng pushed open the courtyard door, Yan Yan was already waiting for him at the entrance of the alley, and she was no longer dressed in the beautiful gauze skirt the day before.
This girl was not only smart, but also more diligent and thoughtful than he thought. Don't look at her usual words and actions, it seems a little improper, but if you want to do things seriously, she immediately reveals a rare spirit in her bones.
I thought of the things that Yan Yan taught him on the road just now, as well as the things he had never heard of, which sounded strange and made a lot of sense......
Looking at Yan Yan at this moment, Bi Cheng really had some reverence for his master in his heart.
