In a bustling market, four white horses pulled a large cart with eight round wooden barrels more than one person high.

A finger-thick bamboo knot is inserted into the barrel underneath the barrel to seal it tightly.

Thin waterlines gushed out from the eight bamboo knots on both sides of the cart, and the strength of the water formed a gradient, which just covered the range from three zhang away to the bottom of the rut.

Wherever the cart passed, vendors, shops, pedestrians, carriages and horses, and those with quick hands and feet hurriedly lifted their hijab shirts and avoided them from afar, and those who were not very agile were poured into soup from the waist down.

Yuchang City, as the capital of the Shangguo of Nankang, is very noisy and boiling with cars and horses, people coming and going. If it weren't for the cleaning with a water truck in the morning and evening, it would always be inevitable that the smoke and dust would be like sand and be sloppy on the body, which would hurt the dignity of the capital of a big country.

Just five or six feet behind the cart, a huge green ox walked leisurely, as if the big waterwheel in front of it was used as its own weapon to open the way.

On the back of the green ox, carrying a handsome young man in a green robe, and a teenage girl with bright eyes and bright teeth.

The girl was originally sitting upside down on the back of a cow, using the young man's broad back as a chair, lying leisurely. After a while, she seemed to feel unsatisfied, and turned around and leaped vigorously, and sat on the young man's shoulder. Then he took out two rock sugar gourds out of nowhere, one in each hand, and devoured them with gusto.

Those who are expected to see this scene on the street can't help but look sideways. Secretly said that although this girl looks handsome and gratifying, she is full of beauty, but she is clearly in her teens, but she is still riding on people's shoulders, which shows that she is from a large family that is used to arrogance.

There are old and sophisticated people who look at it and secretly guess. The young man in front of him doesn't look like a first-class servant, maybe he is the brother of this little girl's family.

But he didn't care. He had already made an agreement with Huang Xiyin for three chapters, and let her ride for another two years, and this treatment would never be available again.

As for Huang Xiyin, her appearance was always about a year or two older than her peers, but after she was promoted to the spirit form, this characteristic gradually reversed.

After the spirit form, the face is slightly more autonomous. Under the intentional adjustment, today's Huang Xiyin is younger than children of the same age. At this time, she was already thirteen years old, but looking at her face, she was only in her early tens.

As early as a few years ago, Gui Wuyi asked for the secret realm key of Yuqing Gate in the North East Huajie Heaven. This time I went out, I was going to go straight to the point, first take the two secret medicines, and then talk about the rest.

But once he got out of the door, because of the sudden change, Gui Wuyi had a strange feeling in his heart, so he decided to follow his own wishes and cruise for a while.

The passage that Gui Wuyi walked on was naturally to return to the Yunzhong faction through the Great Circle Array, and then connect to the 100,000 Lian Cave Nanyu by the secret teleportation array of the Yunzhong faction.

But once Angelica Wujiao and Huang Xiyin appeared in the underground secret realm, they found that this place had already been empty.

Not only is Nan Yu not here, but even the Demon Sect monks under his command are nowhere to be seen.

Nan Yuyi seemed to know that Gui Wuyi would return through here soon, and he deliberately left a letter for Gui Wuyi.

The letter said that he had other important things to do with following the Great Demon Venerable of Zhvara, and that the Demon Dao side had other arrangements here, and that as for this 100,000 Lian Cave Underground Secret Realm, he would give it to Gui Wuzhi and serve it as a secret place for him to operate.

The epistle was written three years ago.

When Gui Wuyi first saw this letter, he thought that the demonic forces had withdrawn from the Donghua Realm. When he saw Nan Yu say that the Demon Dao had other arrangements, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

The underground secret realm of 100,000 consecutive caves has been operated by the Demon Dao for a long time, and it is an excellent and extremely secret latent foundation. If the demonic forces completely withdrew from the Donghua Realm, it would be fine, since there were new forces to take over, why not take them over, but instead they would be blamed for nothing?

Could it be that when he reached the level of Nan Yuyi in the Demon Dao, what intrigue and disagreement calculations were there?

It is precisely after experiencing the changes of 100,000 consecutive caves that Gui Wujiao has a feeling in his heart, and it seems that there is a fate implicated with him not far away, so he might as well go with his heart.

"Master, I'm going there. ”

Just as he was thinking about it, a sweet voice came from his ears, and at the same time, he saw a green onion white finger, pointing to a very prominent three-story building on the opposite side of the official road, and the green flag was fluttering.

Above the gate, there are three big characters written on the plaque: "Natural Residence." ”

But it is one of the most prestigious restaurants in the city.

Compared with the endless stream of people on the street, the people who enter the gateway of the "natural dwelling" are many rarer. But all the people who entered were dressed in luxurious silk, carrying cigarette pouches in their hands, or hanging bird cages, or twisting folding fans and holding incense burners, obviously they were all wealthy eunuchs.

Gui Wuyi stretched out his hand and leaned on the back of his head, touched Huang Xiyin's belly, and said dumbly: "Two or three hours in the morning, you have eaten a lot, haven't you eaten yet?"

Huang Xiyin didn't answer, looked up, and saw that the two rooms with blue tiles and white walls and the Zhu Gate were hidden in the official toilets in the city, so he slipped into it.

After half an hour, after coming out, he touched his flat belly and said with a smile: "You can still eat." ”

Gui Wuyi shook his head secretly, and together with Huang Xiyin, he came to the door of the "natural residence", and Shi Shiran entered it.

The guy standing in front of the door looked very clever. He was stunned for a moment, then trotted in three steps and two steps to Gui Wuyi, bowed, and said in a loud voice: "Honorable guest, please go up to the second floor." ”

The "natural dwelling" portal is strict and has its own set of rules. If a guest comes with a foot, leading the horse to drink water and feed the forage, there is a special process. The guy had seen the two of them riding a big green ox approaching the door, and he was already ready to beckon him, but when he looked closely, the green ox in front of him was no longer there, so he couldn't help but be more respectful.

Gui Wuyi smiled in his heart, he meant to do this, teaching him to see.

However, judging from the attitude of this fellow, although he was respectful, he was not flustered, and it was obviously not the first time that he had entertained a monk.

Although the Shangguo of Nankang is a mortal kingdom, three thousand miles north of Yuchang City is where the mountain gate of Jianyue Xuanzong is located. Those Qi cultivation and foundation building realm cultivators who have achieved nothing on the path and have poor qualifications, and finally live in seclusion in Mortal City, are actually not uncommon.

After finding a good private room upstairs and sitting down, two servants handed over copper basins and hot water, and one of them held the menu and said with a smile: "I don't know what the distinguished guest wants?"

Huang Xiyin was already sitting upright on the chair, and when he heard this, he hurriedly jumped down and said loudly: "Make one of each of the specialties in your store." ”

The guy smiled and said, "There are two hundred and fifty-six kinds of dishes in our shop." After speaking, he looked at it without blame.

Although he knew that the real decision was to blame, if these gentlemen and unruly girls lost their temper, it would also give them a problem.

Gui Wuyi smiled slightly, unveiled the menu in his hand, flipped through it for a while, and said: "One sugar cake, one chestnut cake, one flower cake, one bean cake, one milk cake, one coconut wine, one deer pear pulp, one papaya juice, one plum blossom wine, one perilla drink, one lactose ball, one crispy abalone snail, raw and cooked lotus root, barilla soup, horn roasted kidney, green onion and rabbit, fried lungs, fried quail, suckling lamb bone soup, one roasted pufferfish, and one steamed mandarin fish." ”

There are five kinds of pastries, five kinds of wine, and ten kinds of dishes.

Turned his head and glared at Huang Xiyin, and said, "Is it enough for you to eat?"

Huang Xiyin naturally smiled, squeezed his fists, and returned to his seat.

The "natural residence" is full of food and lodging. However, due to the tension of the upper room, according to the custom, if the guest needs accommodation, he will take the initiative to call the number on the left-hand counter as soon as he enters the door. Those who take the initiative to walk into the restaurant are all diners without exception.

This guy is also a clever man, and when he saw that he was not to blame, he plucked up his courage and took the initiative to say: "There are seven or eight good places to play in Yuchang City. And the shop is located in the center of the city, which is very convenient to come and go. If the immortal intends to see the secular scenery here, there is still a room waiting in the store. ”

Now that he is in the private room, he has changed his title, no longer called "honored guest", but honored by the word "Shangxian".

Gui Wuyi thought for a while, and said, "If you eat this meal and nothing else happens, I will stay here for three days." ”

The man only felt that the words of the innocent were a little strange, but he still answered the words.

Taking advantage of the conversation between the two, Huang Xiyin had already grabbed the cold drink of the pastry presented first and devoured it.

Those pastries were six pieces per plate, for a total of five plates and thirty large pieces. But Huang Xiyin did not eat a piece of pastry, but took a bite in the east and a bite in the west, and in a few moments, he swallowed more than ten pieces of pastry like a dog had gnawed, and there were gaps everywhere.

The young man just thought that Huang Xiyin's days of sleeping in the open had passed for a long time, and he secretly said in his heart: "It is said that cultivating immortals is bitter." It seems that in addition to the long lifespan, it is still the mortal flower world, and the days are more moisturized. ”

After only a few bites of side dishes, he opened the door and waited slowly.

The direction of his private room is right opposite the entrance of the "natural residence".

After wandering with the tide for a few days, when he came to Yuchang City, Gui Wuyi vaguely felt that he seemed to have lost the direction of exploration. At this moment, Huang Xiyin suddenly wanted to come here to have a good meal, and he was blameless. I believe that in two or three days at most, the things that should be in the heart are here.

"Where's the shopkeeper?"

As he was thinking about it, a loud voice penetrated into the eardrum, and a person suddenly entered the main entrance of the "Natural Dwelling".

This person has a dignified appearance, and his roots are not weak. He is extremely tall and has a two-foot long hair on his chest, which is unforgettable. Of course, this is the image of this person as a foundation building monk in the eyes of Gui Wuzhi - this person is not only a monk who has just built a foundation, but also a demon monk!

It's just that there is no fault in his heart at this time, and there is no abnormality in his heart, so he is sure that this demon monk is not the "fate" he is looking for.

But in the eyes of those mortals with the naked eye, this long-haired middle-aged man is in tatters and dusty, far from being compared with the celebrities and dignitaries who have entered the restaurant one after another, and most of them are a down-and-out and vulgar footman.

Just looking at this very burly figure and carrying a long sword behind his back, the "natural residence" did not dare to ignore it, and after a while, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper walked out, greeting with a smile on his face, but it was a well-honed face.

After asking the reason, I only heard the burly middle-aged man with long hair say: "It's the blessing of your store." There is a certain thing, if the shopkeeper hangs it under the plaque of the store, it can help you Yongzhen Guidian luck and prosperity for 500 years. ”

The heart of the shopkeeper is that Nankang has been in the country for 276 years so far. Although it is prosperous now, there are many disadvantages in secret, and I don't know how many fortunes there are. You can guarantee my "natural dwelling" for 500 years, isn't it nonsense?

However, he still smiled on his face, and echoed casually: "May I ask what the Venerable Guest said is the treasure of suppressing luck?"

The long-haired middle-aged man stretched out his hand, took out something from his sleeve, and held it in front of him. This thing is sauce-colored, boxy, and has words engraved on it, which seems to be carved from a piece of peach wood.

The shopkeeper's face changed, he groaned slightly, instructed the man to take this thing, and said in a loud voice: "Take two hundred taels of silver as a thank you and give it to this guest." ”

The man was stunned, then turned around and went away, and ordered the silver to be fetched.

The rules of natural living are strict. Although this young man was dissatisfied, he still hurriedly responded, but it was difficult to say how he slandered in his heart.

But this middle-aged man with long hair suddenly burst out laughing, the sound shook the roof tiles, and the timbre was also very sharp, and even the guests dining in the lobby were alarmed.

The shopkeeper's face remained unchanged, his hands were clenched into his sleeves without a trace, and he said indifferently: "What else do you have for your honorable guest?"

The long-haired middle-aged man said loudly: "I gave my friend five hundred years of luck, such a great achievement, you only gave me two hundred taels of silver." Isn't my most wonderful treasure sold cheaply?"

The shopkeeper was invisible, but his voice was a little lower unconsciously, and he said lightly: "How much do you want?"

The long-haired middle-aged man said loudly: "I give a wonderful fate, and I can't shorten my daily use." Every 100 draws, and there are not many materials. Since you have given your store 500 years of fortune, and you will give the income of our store for five years, we will pay it off. ”

The guests who were originally dining separately in the restaurant were in an uproar when they heard this. The five-year income of "Natural Residence" is not two or three hundred thousand taels of silver. Is the person who came crazy and crazy, or is it really a hard idea?

The shopkeeper's face finally sank, stretched out his hand, waved his sleeves, and shouted in a low voice: "Fork out!"

From the inconspicuous corner of the store, suddenly five or six strong men came out, holding big sticks, about to beat the long-haired middle-aged man indiscriminately.

It's a pity that these five or six big men haven't reached the body yet, only to see this long-haired middle-aged man flick his sleeves slightly, and a few strong winds throw out, and these five or six people cried wolf and fell to the ground. And all the sticks in his hands were shattered into powder.

The shopkeeper's face changed, and he quickly turned his head to look at the corner of the store, as if begging for help.

PS: It's much better today. Strive to have another watch in the evening, and resume the third watch tomorrow.
