Jiguo Turmoil Chapter 43 Golden Dining Hall
Jiang Chen found a restaurant called "Golden Dining Hall", the name is quite meaningful, so that he just glanced at it and had the idea of wanting to go in and taste it, the restaurant has a total of seven floors, the next two floors are for people to eat, upstairs is a place for guests to rest, because it came earlier, there is still a while before the peak of business, so there are not many people in the restaurant for the time being.
Jiang Chen deliberately found a window position on the second floor, ready to taste the meal here, and specially ordered two dishes called Jinzhu Wenling Soup and Baifu Bizhu Diet, which seems to be extremely elegant when you hear the name, and does not lose its characteristics, Jinzhu Soup is made of a very common medicinal food material Jinzhu, which is very good for pregnancy and nourishment, and that Baifu Bizhu Diet, as the name suggests, is made of a kind of beads born and raised in the Bibo Lake in the territory of Dashang, which is of great benefit to the martial arts to refine their muscles and bones.
The materials used seem simple, they are all very common spiritual materials, but after being boiled by the famous medicinal dietitian in this building, the effect can be multiplied, and the price is fair, the two medicinal dishes ordered by Jiang Chen just now cost him a total of thirty spirit stones, and the materials to be used in it alone are estimated to be more than ten spirit stones, if the described effect can be achieved, then this price is not expensive.
Nowadays, there are many warriors who are even willing to choose to order medicinal food instead of choosing to buy medicine, because in terms of the same effect, the price of medicine is much more expensive than that of medicinal food, but the difference between the two is that the medicine is fierce, although it has some harm to the body, but it is better to have a quick effect.
The medicinal diet has mild spiritual power, which can have a warming effect on the body, but because it is not harmful to the body, the effect is slow, and which of the two is better can only depend on the needs of the warriors.
For Jiang Chen, he doesn't need this to have much effect, as long as he can improve his food, and then don't bring too much turbidity to his body, feeling the warmth in the soup spoon, a trace of spiritual power is constantly being released from his mouth, the delicious taste stimulates the taste buds, and the comfort enjoyed by spending money is vividly displayed at this moment.
Compared with the medicinal food he had prepared before, the bowl of Jinzhu Wenling Soup in his hand was simply the best delicacy, three or two bites, Jiang Chen couldn't wait to pick up another bowl of Baifu Bizhu Food, the taste was sweet and delicious, Bizhu was scattered by spiritual power, and it melted in the mouth, I really can't imagine how the medicinal dietitian came up with such a method, just some ordinary spiritual materials, can be made into such a strange thing that takes into account both deliciousness and medicinal effect.
I heard that there is a pill called Bigu Dan, which can be taken without eating for three months, but now, it is rare to see Bigu Dan, and I don't know why, he wandered around the shops in Fang City, almost never saw Bigu Dan, Jiang Chen did not deliberately pursue the reason why it is difficult to see, the practice of one was originally to seize Shou Yuan from the sky, change his life against the sky, everything in the world is developing, including Bigu Dan and other things may be eliminated for some reason.
The emergence of professions such as pharmacist and medicinal dietitian is not a new adaptation to this era, and with the change of the environment, or these two professions may disappear in the future.
He didn't delve into the reason, he ate medicinal food by himself, as long as he reached the foundation building period, he could permanently open the valley and replenish the spiritual power by absorbing the aura, but if the martial artist was not congenital, he could not open the valley, one was that the blood aperture needed to inject a large amount of energy from the outside world, and the martial artist did not absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth enough, so he could not directly absorb the spiritual energy like a qi refiner, especially the martial artist of the qi and blood realm, although he could attract the aura of heaven and earth, but the consumption of energy was greater, and he could not do it like a qi refiner in the foundation building period to open the valley.
Only when a martial artist reaches the innate realm and the vitality in his body is self-generated, he can achieve Bigu, so the appearance of the medicinal dietetic master is of positive significance for the huge number of martial artists, or it is the huge group of martial artists that gives birth to the emergence of the medicinal dietetic.
When Jiang Chen was eating, three big men came up on the second floor, the three of them had green tendons exposed in their hands, and their bodies were full of qi and blood.
The three of them didn't seem to take Jiang Chen in their eyes, just as he didn't exist, they talked loudly, and it seemed that having Jiang Chen on the second floor didn't affect the conversation of the three of them.
Jiang Chen didn't care about this when he saw this, he was almost finished eating, and he was sitting by the window at the moment, just wanting to take a look at the lively market, and when he saw the three of them coming up, he just glanced at it and looked away.
But at this moment, the voices of the three people next door suddenly became smaller, Jiang Chen instantly noticed the strangeness of the three people, his face was silent, his eyes pretended to look out the window, but in fact, he was concentrating on listening to the content of the three whispers.
"Did you hear that? After the auction, the city lord will hold a sacrificial ceremony in the eastern city, sacrifice 800 warriors, and pray for the blessing of the king of Shang! One of the younger men whispered with his hands over his mouth.
"Old Five, where did you hear this kind of news?" The bearded man sitting next to the young man asked suspiciously.
The young martial artist glanced around, and seeing that Jiang Chen hadn't seen it, he continued: "I have a brother who works as an errand in the City Lord's Mansion and is responsible for guarding the altar, and he drank with me last night. I heard that the altar had been set up, and even the eight hundred warriors were imprisoned in the altar, and at night, there were bursts of shouts from inside the altar. ”
Another thick-eyed man also asked suspiciously: "For no reason, why does the city lord sacrifice eight hundred warriors to pray for the blessing of the king of Shang?" ”
"I heard my brother say that the city lord turned his back on King Ji and turned to Dashang, but the king of the town who entered the city today didn't seem to believe him, and asked him to continue to arrest the fugitive warriors of the Ji Kingdom in Sangcheng, and let the city lord use the warriors who belonged to the Ji Kingdom that he captured not long ago to sacrifice and pray for blessings to show his loyalty."
When the young warrior heard the thick-eyebrow man ask, his voice lowered by three points and said.
The bearded man shook his head, and said with a trace of anger on his face: "The big business is really excessive, now there is only Sangcheng left in the Ji Kingdom, and the royal family has been wiped out by it, and it is necessary to hunt down and kill the fleeing warriors, if there is really no benevolence at all." ”
The two of them listened to the bearded man's words, and hurriedly glanced at Jiang Chen, covered his mouth with his hand to signal him to whisper, and the young warrior immediately said: "Brother Zhang said cautiously, now that the Sang City is tight inside and outside, the City Lord's Mansion is arresting people everywhere, be careful that these words are heard and you will be framed as a remnant of the Ji Kingdom." ”
It's good that the young warrior didn't say this, but after speaking, the anger of the bearded man was aroused, and he said in a low voice viciously: "Dashang is so unreasonable, sooner or later he will die at his own hands." ”
The thick-eyed big man shook his head, as if he didn't agree with the bearded man's words: "The strength of the big business is not something that we low-level martial artists can imagine, I just hope that after these eight hundred people are sacrificed, Sangcheng can usher in stability, and the three of us should say less to avoid getting into trouble." ”
When the young warrior heard this, he nodded and said: "When I sacrificed, I heard that the whole city should be under martial law, and no one is allowed to haunt the city without permission. ”
"It's really strange for you to say, the three of us have been escorting caravan supplies for the family all year round, but this year's goods seem to be a lot more than usual, this trip, let's say that we have already made three trips this month, is the business so good recently?"
The thick-eyed man took a big gulp of tea and said strangely.
When the young martial artist heard this, he didn't hurry to refill his teacup with a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "What's so strange about this, I heard that this auction event is much larger than before, if Sangcheng hadn't encountered the big businessman's conquest, I was afraid that there would be more people coming, and more people would buy more things, I still hope that the family business will get better and better, so that the three of us brothers can also earn more spirit stones." ”
Hearing this, the three of them laughed, and their voices were not as quiet as before.
The bearded man also agreed: "It's true, after this trip, my magic weapon will be in place, and when the spirit stone is finished, I will take the two brothers to have a good time." ”
Jiang Chen listened to the words of the three of them one by one, and when he heard the young martial artist say that Ji Chengdian was preparing to sacrifice eight hundred martial artists, he was shocked in his heart, if he hadn't personally experienced the horror, he might not have felt anything when he heard it.
At the time of the sacrifice, in order to make the ceremony solemn, a series of prayers are first held, and in this process, the blood of the sacrifice is used as a medium to pray, so the sacrifice does not die at once, but is brutally tortured, and when the vitality gradually wears away, after the prayer is over, all the sacrifices are buried.
The cruelty in it, Jiang Chen couldn't even bear to look at it directly, some people either had their hands cut off, some or their feet were cut off, and the person presiding over the ceremony didn't care how these sacrifices struggled, and when the ceremony was completed, after the sacrifice ceremony communicated with some existence in the underworld, the flesh and blood vitality of all the sacrificed people would be sucked away, leaving only one bone in the same place.
When Jiang Chen was first arrested for sacrifice, because there was a puppet left by an old Taoist priest, he escaped by luck, but after he escaped by using the ground trap charm, he found that all the buried people were only bones, and the flesh and blood had disappeared without a trace.
This is the horror of the sacrifice, he secretly suppressed the news in his heart, and made up his mind to wait for the auction to end as soon as he left Sangcheng, and fled far away, although his strength was low, but he also had his own part in the attack and killed the more than 100 cavalry, if he was deliberately searched, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not find himself from the clues, so although he hid his identity now, he could still leave early and leave early.
As for what the three people said about the frequent escort of supplies by the family, he had the same idea as the three of them, but he only felt that the business had improved due to the influence of the auction, so he had to transfer goods from other places, so he didn't take it seriously.
Seeing that the three of them were still talking about each other, Jiang Chen was not interested, and left the Golden Dining Hall after settling the account.
