Chapter 16: Rekindle your fighting spirit

Speaking of the Chen Ji Restaurant across the street, it is the largest restaurant in Cangzhou City, not only the taste of food is one of the best, but the layout of the restaurant is also very different from other places.

The restaurant has three floors, the first floor is the hall, the second floor is the private room, and the third floor is the guest room for diners to rest, which greatly meets the needs of diners, and they are not afraid of being drunk and unable to find a place to go.

At this time, it was lunch time, and the hall on the first floor of the restaurant was crowded, accompanied by the crisp shouting of the shopkeeper, and the hungry diners started the dishes and chopsticks, pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and feasted.

In Ji Beichen's memory, he had never seen such a lively dining scene, and he was deeply attracted by these busy and noisy figures.

Zhao Ling'er saw that Ji Beichen's eyes were attracted by the restaurant, and she was secretly happy that she had chosen the right one, and couldn't help but smile coquettishly: "Brother Ji, this place tastes very good, why don't we go in too?" ”

Before Ji Beichen could answer, Zhao Ling'er heard Ji Beichen's stomach "grunt" a few times, and Ji Beichen stroked his stomach embarrassedly, which was considered an answer.

"Let's go, Ling'er has a treat!" Knowing that Ji Beichen was hungry, Zhao Linger took Ji Beichen's arm and walked towards the restaurant.

"Ling'er ......" Ji Beichen felt Zhao Ling'er's pull, and felt that it was really unseemly on the street, but it was not good to be angry at Zhao Ling'er.

Ji Beichen knew that Zhao Ling'er treated him as his brother, and since he couldn't push him off, she pulled him.

Entering Chen Ji Restaurant, the restaurant guy immediately came over to greet them, the guy obviously knew Zhao Ling'er, and directly took the two to the private room on the second floor.

Zhao Ling'er often comes to this Chen Kee Restaurant, and the signature dish is Chen Kee roast poultry, which includes chickens, ducks, geese and other large and small birds. Zhao Ling'er likes to eat the vegetarian roast goose here the most, and she can't wait to order the dish as soon as she sits down.

"Little Er, hurry up, you're hungry!" Zhao Ling'er happily ordered the food while urging the guys to hurry up and serve the food.

"Okay, sit down." The guy in the restaurant was very enthusiastic about Zhao Ling'er, and he didn't care about the guests in the other private rooms, so he went downstairs and rushed to the back kitchen after ordering.

Ji Beichen saw all these details in his eyes, thinking that the shopkeeper of the Hanging Ji Pharmacy Zhao had a good reputation in Cangzhou City, and was very loved by the people in the city, so he had met a nobleman.

Zhao Ling'er was innocent, but she didn't notice this, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, respectfully handed it to Ji Beichen, and said solemnly: "Brother Ji, drink tea first!" ”

Ji Beichen smiled and took the tea cup handed by Zhao Ling'er, looking at her so respectful, he knew that Shopkeeper Zhao should usually be strict with her tutoring.

After a while, the dishes were ready, a large table, with meat and vegetables, but it was comprehensive. Zhao Ling'er saw that the dishes were ready, and got up to prepare for Ji Beichen.

Ji Beichen looked at Zhao Ling'er's shadow standing beside him, and a spirit stood up, waved his hand again and again: "What is Ling'er doing, poor and blue-clothed, I can't stand this!" ”

"Brother Ji......" Zhao Ling'er pouted, her sincerity was extinguished, and her face was full of grievances.

Seeing Zhao Ling'er's well-behaved appearance, Ji Beichen couldn't bear it, and his tone softened: "Since Ling'er calls Poor Dao 'Brother Ji', don't be like this!" ”

"Yes, my good brother!" Zhao Ling'er's eyes rolled, but she was very satisfied with this result, and it was not in vain that she was so well-behaved just now, and she responded with her mouth, and then she ate the meal honestly.

Ji Beichen only understood Zhao Ling'er's careful thoughts at this moment, and shook his head gently. I thought to myself, since he had a relationship with the Hangji Pharmacy, he cherished the moment and recognized Zhao Ling'er's sister.

Ji Beichen raised his head and looked at the little girl who was munching on the roast goose opposite, and he sandwiched some vegetarian dishes to eat, thinking about the situation in the cultivation realm today that he heard today.

For example, if it is peaceful today, the people who cultivate the truth are mostly distributed in the "five major cities" in four states and eight directions, and they get along well with mortals.

The "four states" are Dongcang, Nanqiong, Xiliang, and Beiyou, and the "five cities" are Cangzhou City, Qiongzhou City, Liangzhou City, Youzhou City, and the head of a country located in the center of the four states-Beijing.

This Cangzhou city is located in the territory of Dongcang, just like the one in the Ji Beichen hexagram, Canglan Sea is the Vermilion Bird position, the Nine Tribulation Mountain is the Xuanwu position, the Soul Valley is the Qinglong position, and the Nanqiong is the White Tiger position. Before he entered the city, he made a divination, and the position of the white tiger in the west has changed, and there will be variables in Cangzhou City soon.

Since the head of the sect, he has not been down the mountain for many years, and has been practicing in retreat. The situation of the various Immortal Sect Demon Sects is still a little known, but the situation in the five major cities is not clear. He was concerned about the people in Cangzhou City, so he silently started a hexagram in his heart with plum blossoms, but the hexagram was unclear and difficult to distinguish.

Ji Beichen divined a few more hexagrams after that, but there was no result, and he didn't feel that his eyebrows were light. He remembered that on the day Lin Yuanfeng fell off the cliff, Mu Xiyao, the eldest disciple of Yuyin Sect, was also in the team besieging him, I am afraid that Nanqiong may have changed!

After being full of wine and food, Zhao Ling'er wiped the oil stains on the corners of her mouth with satisfaction, and when she looked up, she saw Ji Beichen, who was sitting opposite and frowning intently, with a sad face.

"Brother Ji......" Zhao Ling'er didn't know what Ji Beichen was thinking so sadly, so he called softly.

Ji Beichen knew that his expression was a little too serious at this time, for fear of scaring Zhao Ling'er, so he came back to his senses, turned his face to look at Zhao Ling'er and said, "Has Ling'er eaten well?" ”

"Eat well, Brother Ji!" Zhao Ling'er saw that Ji Beichen had regained his demeanor, and she was happy in her heart, and smiled sweetly at Ji Beichen.

Ji Beichen looked at Zhao Ling'er's smiling appearance, and his heart was a little touched. His parents died when he was a child, and he was displaced in the mortal world, sleeping in the open air, but it was the master who found him and took him back to the Cangxu faction, so that he could be regarded as having a place of refuge.

The experience of wandering around as a child made it difficult for Ji Beichen to take the initiative to get close to others. And Zhao Ling'er had only seen him once, so she trusted him and was close to him, so Ji Beichen slowly let down his guard and made up his mind. Just shouted at Zhao Ling'er and called him "Brother Ji", and he also tried his best to protect her.

——

On the way back to the Hangji Pharmacy from Chen Ji Restaurant, Zhao Linger still chattered non-stop, Ji Beichen had a good temper, listened with a smile, and sometimes responded with two sentences.

When Zhao Ling'er talked about her own pharmacy, her eyes flashed and she was very proud: "Hangji Pharmacy, although it is not the largest pharmacy in Cangzhou City, adheres to the concept of doing its own business and not bullying sisters-in-law. It has been 30 years since my grandfather's generation.

Originally, he only sold medicinal herbs, but when it came to his father, he began to have a doctor. My father didn't know how to practice medicine originally, but when he went out of the city to buy medicinal herbs a few years ago, he met a miracle doctor outside the city......"

"Miracle Doctor?" Ji Beichen listened to Zhao Ling'er talk about the things in the pharmacy, and was very curious about the miracle doctor that Zhao's shopkeeper got acquainted.

Zhao Ling'er nodded, and his expression rarely became serious: "Well, my father and his divine doctor friend are old friends, the two are like-minded, he taught his father some medical skills, although it is not much, it is very useful, and it is more than enough for my father to sit in the hall for consultation."

My father, a miracle doctor, traveled all year round and his whereabouts were erratic, but he came to stay at home for a few days every year, and occasionally sat in the hall for consultations. My father wanted to worship him as a teacher, but he politely refused, but he promised to accept me as his godgranddaughter, pass on my mantle, and let me call him 'Grandpa Stone'! ”

"Grandpa Stone?" Ji Beichen quickly thought in his mind, "outside the city" is the Valley of Leaving the Soul, will this "Grandpa Shi" be the predecessor of Shi Wuji?

Zhao Ling'er saw that Ji Beichen was interested in Grandpa Shi, so he continued: "Grandpa Shi is amazing, he not only knows the pulse but also divination. By the way, Grandpa has calculated in advance that Brother Ji will come to the store today, and asked Father to take care of you! ”

When Ji Beichen heard Zhao Ling'er's words, he guessed that the divine doctor might be Shi Wuji's predecessor. He didn't say goodbye a few days ago, but he wanted to meet no matter what, apologized, and said, "Since Doctor Shi has calculated that I will come, can Ling'er help me introduce me." ”

"Do you want to see Grandpa Shi?"

Zhao Ling'er expected that Ji Beichen would definitely be curious about Doctor Shi, and at this time, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Can't you see it?" Ji Beichen was a little embarrassed when he saw Zhao Ling'er, but he was not surprised. Shi Wuji's predecessor has a somewhat eccentric temper, and it is normal not to want to see him, a "disobedient" patient.

Zhao Ling'er really wanted to take Ji Beichen to see Doctor Shi, but she couldn't do anything about it: "It's not that I can't see it, I can't be the master of this matter, Grandpa Shi lives in the backyard of the pharmacy, usually lives in a simple place, and it is also a matter of mood to see a doctor, and it is rare to see outsiders!" ”

Seeing Zhao Ling'er's anxious appearance, Ji Beichen hurriedly shook his head and comforted her: "It's okay, Ling'er don't be embarrassed." ”

The two had already walked to the door of the Hangji Pharmacy between words, and Ji Beichen leaned over to clean up the hexagram table, preparing to continue to go out of the stall.

Zhao Ling'er was not in a hurry to go back to the pharmacy, moved a stool, and sat beside Ji Beichen obediently, wanting to talk to her brother Ji again.

"Alas", Zhao Ling'er sighed: "Just because of Grandpa Shi's temper, my pharmacy has offended many powerful people in the city!" Brother Ji should also be careful when setting up a hexagram stall in front of the door, there have been a lot of bad people coming to the store to make trouble recently..."

Speaking of the bad guys, Zhao Ling'er was immediately indignant, and the jade hand was clenched into a fist and gestured, as if to beat away those bad guys.

Ji Beichen listened to Zhao Ling'er's words, remembered the "triangular eye" who came to divination before, and understood: "triangular eye" should also come to ask Shi Shenyi to see a doctor, and it is estimated that he has not been able to invite people many times, and he plans to come hard today.

Ji Beichen was glad that he had driven away the "triangular eye". The Hanging Ji Pharmacy is kind to him, and if someone really makes trouble in the future, he will also help him. Although he didn't have the True Qi turnover in his body, he remembered all the moves on the sword technique, and it was still more than enough to deal with a few mortals.

Ji Beichen thought so in his heart, and the Cangxu Sword behind him felt the rekindled fighting spirit of the master, and the indigo light flashed leisurely......
