Chapter Forty-Nine: First Contact with an Immortal Cultivator
Outside the east gate of Chengdu City, three people walked from Yangguan Avenue to the city gate at this time.
The first person looked to be less than thirty years old, wearing a high crown of purple and gold hair, a long white beard, a tall figure, wearing a dark wide-sleeved robe, black cloth shoes, and a feather fan in his hand.
The latter two are all dressed as samurai, wearing short-sleeved samurai robes on the top, long trousers on the bottom, and black cloth shoes on their feet. Among them, the sturdy man carried a broad, two-handed sword behind him, while the younger one wore a long sword at his waist.
The three stopped a hundred meters from the city gate and looked at the road beneath their feet. From here, a concrete road with three horse-drawn carriages running side by side leads to the city, with a white dotted line in the middle of the road, which divides the concrete road into two roads on the left and right.
The leader asked as he walked by, an elderly man dressed as a civilian.
"Elder, what made this road, and what does it mean to draw a line in the middle?"
The old man saw that the other party seemed to be extraordinary, and hurriedly replied.
"Back to this nobleman, this is a new thing created by the lord of the country, called cement, and now Hanjun is paving roads with this thing, which is very convenient and comfortable to walk."
"The middle line is drawn to draw two roads, and the county has a rule that both people and vehicles must walk on the road on the right, otherwise they will be warned if they are found and fined after three times."
When the leader heard this, he pinched the thumb and index finger of his right hand together, raised his palm and gave a strange salute to his chest, and then said to the old man.
"Thank you, Elder!"
The old man didn't even dare to say it, and then he left.
"It's funny."
The leader smiled, pointed to the road and continued to praise.
"It's a lot of fun to walk on the concrete road and the rules of walking."
The samurai, armed with a great sword, bewildered, asked for advice from the leader of the leader.
"Senior brother, what is the reason why you came from the sect of the land of gods this time?"
The leader looked helpless.
"To be honest, I don't know very much either. Pyri sent down the decree and ordered the sect to send people to the newly established Han County on your Saturn Continent to contact the lord here and see what kind of person he is, I know so much at present. ”
"Just for the sake of a little lord, I sent you and your junior brother over together?"
The samurai, with a two-handed sword on his back, was puzzled.
The leader explained.
"After all, it is the will of the faction, and it is also appropriate to be cautious, not to mention, this lord is not just a small lord, but also a high-ranking priest of the eighth order, a descendant of the god of literature."
The two-handed sword warrior was taken aback when he heard this.
"Eighth Order! How is it possible, even if he is a descendant of the God of Literature, it is absolutely impossible for him to rise to the eighth order in Great Xia, how old is he? ”
The man at the head replied with a little bitterness in his mouth.
"Fifteen."
When the two-handed sword warrior heard this, his mouth opened almost into a fist, and he was shocked.
At this moment, the young man with a long sword at his waist, who had been silently beside him, suddenly spoke.
"Senior brother, do you see if there is something wrong with the aura here?"
When the leader heard this, he immediately put away his mind and looked intently.
"The aura here is like this, could it be that there is something wrong with the Dao Academy's Spirit Gathering Array?"
Sensing the seriousness of the matter, the leader asked the two-handed sword samurai somewhat harshly.
At this time, the two-handed great sword warrior also felt that the aura content in the air was high, and he defended a little nervously.
"There is absolutely no possibility that there will be a problem with the Spirit Gathering Array, the Daoist Academy has a special person responsible for inspecting the formations in each county every year, not to mention that this year's spiritual energy is more than before."
"That's weird, let's go to the city and have a look."
So saying, the leader led the two men towards the city gate.
The Fenggong warriors guarding the gate outside the city gate, although it was strange that the three people stood on the side of the road for a long time before they began to enter the city, but after checking that the three of them were not carrying contraband, they asked their Fenggong people to let them into the city without saying anything.
"These gatekeepers are quite honest, not as greedy as the gatekeepers in other places."
The junior brother with the long sword agreed with the gatekeeper's observance of the law.
"This shows that the lords here have a very high ability to rule the territory, do you see it, the faces of the ordinary people here are very good, which shows that the income of the civilians in the territory is very good."
The two-handed greatsword warrior looked around, then agreed.
"That's true."
Soon the three of them came to the Temple of Literature Square.
"It's huge! Hey, what kind of monument is this? ”
After admiring the scale of the square, the young disciple found a stone tablet engraved with the law.
The three of them walked up to the stele and read the inscription carefully, all of them were surprised.
"This can't have anything to do with Tiantiao, the lord of this small place is so well-informed, what happened last month, he immediately knew about it, and he also made a law in imitation of Tiantiao?"
The young junior brother guessed the cause, but he guessed the cause and effect.
The person at the head makes a suggestion.
"It should be the Temple of Wenshen, this temple is so big, why don't we go and worship it first."
After all, if there were no gods of literature to create characters, they would still be the same as the cultivators of ancient times, and they could only pass on the method orally, not as they do now, and there are exercises that can be used as a reference for cultivation.
The three of them entered the Temple of Wenshen, and at the same time found the statue of Wen Jiming next to the statue of Wenshen.
The two-handed greatsword warrior said with a smile.
"This lord is so bold that he actually placed his own statue next to the statue of the god of Wen."
The steady leader gave a fairer analysis.
"I guess it should be the lord's family, the decision made because of this lord's contribution to the family, after all, this is also their family's family temple."
The two-handed greatsword warrior began to take an interest in the lord.
"I think when I see him, I can try to compete with him, after all, I haven't fought against an eighth-order priest yet."
The leader thought about it for a moment and admonished.
"It's not impossible to compete, but after all, our immortal cultivators are much stronger than other professions in their own cultivation, and they pay more attention to attacking and killing and self-cultivation, so remember the main point to the end, after all, the sect's decree seems to have good intentions towards it."
The two-handed greatsword warrior nodded.
"I understand senior brother, just try what it's like to compete with a warlock, and I will definitely save face for him."
After worshipping the god of literature, the three of them walked out of the main hall together, and saw many people queuing up in front of a tall building opposite. The young junior brother pointed in the direction of the restaurant and said to the other two.
"There are so many strange things in this city, senior brothers, you see, there are many people lined up there, and I don't know what they are doing."
At this time, a local man came out after offering incense to the god of Bun, passed by them, and after hearing the young man's words, he enthusiastically introduced them.
"It is a restaurant opened by the chef of the lord's house, and the dishes made are all specially eaten by the lord's family, which is said to be a treasure that has never been eaten outside, and all the adults who have eaten a banquet in the lord's house say that it is delicious."
"Today is the opening day of the restaurant, and there are too many people who come to visit, so there is a queue."
As soon as they heard this, the two juniors felt hungry at the same time, and they almost spoke in unison.
"Why don't you go and try it too, senior brother?"
The steady senior brother also thinks this is a good idea.
"Let's go, let's taste the treasures of the lord's house too."
So the three of them came to the front of the Wenfu Cuisine Restaurant, followed the people in front of them to line up, and the three of them were lucky, not long after, there were seven or eight tables of guests at once, and at the same time after eating and checkout, the three of them were soon led to an empty table by the guys in the store.
After the three of them were seated, the leader said to the man.
"We just came to Chengdu City, and we don't know that your dish is delicious, so why don't you recommend it."
The trained guy was dedicated, asking the trio.
"How many nobles can eat spicy food, do you like sweet and sour tastes?"
The leader waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter, we don't have taboos, as long as it's particularly popular, though."
As soon as the guy heard it, he knew that he was a high roller who didn't care about money, and hurriedly agreed.
"Okay, you wait, I'll serve you food soon."
After a while, four cold dishes were put on the table first, and the guy asked.
"The hot dishes will have to wait for a while, the nobles want to drink, and our store has the famous Du Kang wine."
The two-handed swordsman slapped his thigh.
"I said that Hanjun seems to have heard of it before, and it turns out that Du Kang wine is from your local area."
Dude is proud.
"You're right, that's the secret recipe that our lord came up with, and today you are lucky, as long as the first two hundred tables of guests order Du Kang, the store will give the cellar a year's old wine, and a few nobles will be blessed."
The leader was also very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly said.
"Let's have three bottles first, it's not enough for us."
"Okay!"
The man then went down to get the wine.
This is the current peculiarity of the other world, and since there is no other business to enjoy, food and wine are almost common hobbies of all professions.
An hour later, the three of them, who enjoyed the perfect wine and food, began to walk outside while burping contentedly, picking their teeth with toothpicks they had never seen before, and at this time, Wen Jiming and the others also walked out of the private room upstairs.
Wen Jiming and the others had eaten very early, but considering that there were too many guests outside and there were many people queuing at the door, they stayed in the private room for more than half an hour, and only walked out when they heard that there was no more queue outside.
As soon as Wen Jiming and the others walked down the stairs, they were discovered by the people who were eating around, and then stood up and saluted Wen Jiming, and said hello, Wen Jiming could only salute the people who saluted one by one, and then continued to walk outside.
The three senior brothers who were also walking outside the restaurant suddenly heard a burst of greetings of "Hello to the lord", and they all turned around, and the two-handed big sword warrior said to the leader after seeing Wen Jiming.
"This must be the young country lord, yes, I'll go meet him for a while."
The leader wanted to stop it, but as soon as he raised his hand, he immediately put it down, because the two-handed big sword warrior had already arrived in front of Wen Jiming.
Wen Jiming was just about to go out, when suddenly a burly man with a two-handed sword on his back blocked his way.
"You're the priest lord, I'm from the Cloud Dao Academy, how about we have a discussion?"
