Chapter 63: A Day Trip to King Kenbin

"Lao Wu, we are out, you have a good rest at home today, and there is food left for you in the basket downstairs." Shi Cheng shouted through the door to the inside of the shower room, and soon, Wu Neng's weak response came from the other side of the door.

"I left you a bottle of health potion underneath, which is made with fresh medicinal herbs that I bought from the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce on the road, which can help you recover your strength and consolidate your cultivation today. If you don't have enough food in the basket, you can ask the family who works nearby to say hello to the back kitchen, but according to the lease, you will have to pay a little extra money. I left some Tongbao on the table and used them if I needed them. ”

"Hmm......" Wu Neng replied weakly again.

Shi Cheng put his mind at ease, patted his clothes, and left the small building with the iron mask.

In the morning, he had already greeted the family of the manor, and when Shi Cheng and Tiemian went out, a carriage was already waiting outside.

The coachman, a rainforester with neatly trimmed hair and an official speaker, politely asked where Shi Cheng and Tie Mian were, waved his whip, and drove the carriage out of the place.

Shi Cheng and Tiemian first went to the best cloth village in the city, Shi Cheng planned to buy a set of clothes suitable for the weather in Rainforest Continent for himself and Wu Neng Tiemian, in the previous days, the three of them generally found a spacious and breathable thin clothes to put directly on their bodies, not to wear other clothes inside, although this kind of outfit can also adapt to the humidity and heat around them, but it always looks a little strange, after all, when Shi Cheng and the three of them left the Western Desert Country, it was a serious winter, and most of the clothes in the luggage of the group were prepared for autumn and winter.

After arriving at Buzhuang, Shi Cheng picked out three large rainforest robes, and then selected a few clothes for washing, and after buying clothes, the two went to a grocery store under the guidance of the coachman to replenish some daily necessities.

The matter of procurement was busy, and the group went around and went to the only pharmacy in the city, Shi Cheng replenished his medicine bag, although the quality of the medicines sold in the pharmacy in Kenbin City was like that, but it was much better than the herbs that could be dug up in the deep mountains of Kawa Country that could not even be found in a serious pharmacy.

After all this, Shi Cheng and Tiemian found a restaurant with a lot of customers for lunch, and there was no plaque engraved with the name of the restaurant on the main entrance of the restaurant, but instead a wooden plaque hanging in a conspicuous place next to the main entrance, which was engraved with a pattern suspected to be roast chicken.

In addition, there is a notice posted on the right hand side of the main entrance of the restaurant, and the name of the restaurant is not written on the notice, but a line of eye-catching large characters.

"This store is only for foreign merchants to consume, ordinary Kenbin people, cats and dogs and other pets are not allowed to enter."

"I don't know what the name of this restaurant is, look at this brand, it won't be called a roast chicken restaurant and a roast chicken restaurant, is it a custom in this country?" A brainless thought popped up in Shi Cheng's heart.

After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, he finally got a seat, and Shi Cheng invited the coachman to go up to eat with him, but the coachman smiled and excused himself, he planned to go to the neighborhood to forage for food by himself.

Shi Cheng and Tie Mian went up to the second floor under the guidance of the shop guys, and after sitting on their seats, the smiling guys handed over a piece of bark paper with the name of the dish written on it.

There are still a lot of names of dishes on the bark paper, and there are translations written in Wei Guoguan under the recipes written in Chu Ze, which is a bit beyond Shi Cheng's imagination, but the names of many dishes can't be seen at a glance, and they should be local specialties.

After flipping through for a while, Shi Cheng chose a dish for himself and Tie Mian with a simple and easy-to-understand lemon crispy fish, a piece of sweet potato cake and a large pot of herbal tea.

"Iron Mask, what do you think of this city?" Shi Cheng asked.

"It's much better than Kawa City and Batu City, and it's still much worse than Ximo, but there are still a lot of people coming and going." Tie Mian replied, "This month's road has been full of desolation, and this Kenbin City is in the Northern Rainforest Continent, which may be a rare existence. ”

"Indeed, and you see, there are many more people dressed as foreign merchants and martial artists in this restaurant than there are locals who come to drink." Shi Cheng said as he quietly pointed to the Hanyue people at a few adjacent tables with his hand, "When I was in a hurry before, I heard Xu Fengshi say that this city is a necessary route for businessmen from the south to the north, plus the recent appearance of strange treasures in the Kenbin Forbidden Area, after we enter the forbidden area, we will face a lot of competitors." ”

"What, you've made up your mind to take part in the Treasure Hunt?" Iron Mask asked in a tone of indifference.

"It's all here, why don't you go and have a look?" Shi Cheng said with a smile, "At the moment, we haven't heard of a Grandmaster Realm master coming to grab the treasure, since this is the case, you and I are both half-step Grandmasters, and we are a very competitive treasure hunting team in ourselves." ”

"I don't care, there's nothing else to do in the past month anyway." Iron Mask shrugged.

People came and went up and down the restaurant, just when Shi Cheng and Tie Mian were chatting and talking, the two tables of foreign guests had already gotten up and left, and the vacant seats were soon filled with new guests, and the people who came to eat in this restaurant were basically foreign guests, and few locals came in, even if there were, it seemed that they were also local wealthy people from the clothes they were wearing.

Seeing that Shi Cheng, who had been secretly looking at the guests around him, his face suddenly became very unsightly, and he opened his mouth and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Tie Mian, we've been in the North Rainforest Continent for about four months." Shi Cheng's eyes were very solemn.

Iron Mask nodded.

"You haven't walked a lot, but what was your first impression of the land?"

Tie Mian thought for a moment and said, "Chaos, poverty, and disorder, at present, the Kenbin Royal City looks good, but compared to the Royal City of the Western Desert Kingdom, it is still far inferior. ”

"Yes, if you look at the road surface of this city, you can see that even in the bustling areas of the city, the carriage is too bumpy."

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"If I were the flag bearer of the Lu Clan, I would not let go of such a land, this is one of the best big rear."

Hearing this, Tie Mian Huo straightened up, "Do you think the Lu clan forces will operate here?" ”

"Who knows...... But one thing that struck me as strange was that the Redwood City corpse robbery case was in full swing in the western part of the Western Desert Country, but we had never heard of a large-scale corpse robbery here after staying in the Northern Rainforest Continent for so long. ”

"Maybe there are .......," Iron Mask muttered, "In the case of Kawa Country, the government is not well managed, and the internal war is mired in civil war, I am afraid that no one will have the heart to pay attention to such things." ”

"But it's strange to say, in the rebellion of the Lu tribe back then, Rainforest Continent was actually a continent that was less injured in comparison...... When the Lu clan was at its peak, all the major powers in the world were beaten by them, but even so, Luzun didn't seem to have the idea of treating the Rainforest Continent as a big rear. Shi Cheng analyzed slowly, and gently tapped the desktop with the fingers of his left hand, he had been with Shi Cheng for so long, and Tie Mian also knew very well that tapping things with his fingers subconsciously was a habitual action of Shi Cheng when he was in thought.

The two of them discussed a few more words, but they couldn't think of a reason, and what Shi Cheng and his party could do at the moment was to do the current thing well.

Although the restaurant was crowded, the speed of serving food was not slow, after the shop guy handed over the hot and cold dishes and a pot of fruit wine, Shi Cheng and Tie Mian stopped talking with a tacit understanding and ate quietly, but their ears were pricked up high, eavesdropping on the conversations of the diners around them.

The two of them sat quietly in place for nearly half an hour, but what they heard was mostly the boasting voices of some Jianghu guests, and another discovery that made Shi Cheng a little frustrated was that many of these Jianghu guests were disciples of scattered cultivators or small sects, and they came here to try their luck with the dream of getting rich overnight, and most of them couldn't even tell what the vision of the strange treasure was when it was born.

But fortunately, after waiting patiently, it will eventually pay off.

A few guests who had just gone upstairs and were sitting in the corner attracted Shi Cheng's attention, there were five of them in a group, wearing gray rainforest robes of similar styles, and their average cultivation was also significantly higher than that of other Jianghu guests in the restaurant, there were three people in the martial arts realm, and the remaining two were cultivators in the realm, Shi Cheng looked at it slightly, the person with the highest cultivation was actually still a high-level cultivator realm.

Diametrically opposed to the other drinkers in the restaurant who were chatting, these five Jianghu guests with a highly uniform dress style were quite low-key when talking, in this crowded restaurant, it was really not easy for an ordinary person or even a weaker monk to hear their conversation clearly, but it was a pity that it was Shi Cheng, the top half-step grandmaster, who paid attention to them.

"Old horse, are you ready for the work?"

"Almost, hehe, the Kenbin Forbidden Area is not big, but those stupid two-pole people really think that they can find strange treasures by casually walking around in the forbidden area, and if they don't arrange some means, how can they catch strange treasures?"

"Okay, there's no need to say that, although most people still follow the trend, but there are so many people gathered in Kenbin City, how can there be no good players who know how to do it, we still have to be ready to grab treasures with our peers."

"The back hand we arranged was carefully planned by the elders, and it started as early as when there was a vision in the Kenbin Forbidden Zone, and others can still have us to prepare for a long time?"

"In short, you can't be careless, Liu Duo, you have kept in touch with all parties these days. Old Ma, keep an eye on the forbidden area, you can't relax, the next vision is expected to appear in more than twenty days, as long as we can succeed, not only will we have an explanation to the upper sect, but the part we can share the profit may also make the young master's illness better, and when the time comes, our brothers will be the heroes of the door! ”

"Master, the slave ...... over the jungle"

"Silence!" The monk at the head quietly pointed around, "There are a lot of people here, let's go back and talk about the specific affairs." ”

The gray-clothed monks nodded in unison, and after a moment of silence, they chatted about other topics, this time the topic they talked about was not what Shi Cheng was interested in, basically it was all about what they had seen and heard along the way, and occasionally interspersed with some things about the sword conference, but the tone of these five people was quite tight, as if they were afraid that the people next to them would overhear their coming, and the conversation between the five people was also very restrained, although Shi Cheng was well-informed, but after all, most of the time since he came out of the mountain was still spent in the Western Continent, There are thousands of sects in the Eastern Continent, and it is impossible for him to know the characteristics of each sect thoroughly.

However, from the words of these people, Shi Cheng could also think of more information about the strange treasure itself, this treasure seemed to be some kind of elixir that could be consumed.

"Don't look at the Kenbin forbidden area, but it is not easy to find the treasure, due to the unique growth environment, there are many naturally formed prohibitions around the forbidden area, I just don't know what means these people plan to use to catch the treasure." Shi Cheng thought to himself.
