This world is divided into four continents, Luzhou in the north, Shenzhou in the east, Zhan in the south, Niuhe in the west, and rivers and seas are separated by rivers and seas between each continent.

It has been 34 days since I left Chengdao Mountain

At this time, the fifth dream injury had healed, and after that long conversation, the distance between the two had unconsciously narrowed a lot.

"Uncle Shi, look at the fortress in the distance, after that, we will reach the boundary of Dongsheng Shenzhou. The fifth dream sat next to Li Yushuang and explained to him.

In the book, it is recorded that the terrain of Dongsheng Shenzhou is gentle, the people are prosperous, tens of thousands of years are governed by the Ji family, and it is rumored that the successive heads of the Ji family are the chosen sons, called by the saint, the contemporary sage Ji Fanliu is a rare Ming Jun in the world, under his rule, Dongsheng Shenzhou is more prosperous than in the past, orderly, far better than the other three continents. Li Yushuang recalled what was described in the book and said.

"Uncle Shi is mostly right, but there is one thing, Ji Fanliu passed away when I passed through Dongsheng Shenzhou six months ago, and it was the third son Ji Chanqiu who took over the position of saint, I don't know what kind of situation this Dongsheng Shenzhou should be in now. The fifth dream said.

"That's a pity, such a celebrity, when I was a child, I thought I would meet one day. ”

"But now that Dongsheng Shenzhou is in the east, it may be a little unpeaceful. Li Yushuang showed a look of regret on her face, and her bright eyes looking into the distance seemed to have found something.

"What does Uncle Shi mean by this?" said the fifth dream.

"You'll find out later. ”

Seeing that Li Yushuang had no intention of answering, the fifth dream didn't ask much, her uncle spoke in a fog, which made it difficult to guess, and she got used to getting along these days.

..................

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two of them drove the bronze horse to the cloud chariot and came to the sky above the fortress level, and the fifth dream finally understood the meaning of what Li Yushuang had just said.

Above the fortress, three men dressed as officers, all wearing white linen scarves around their waists, and flying swords of the imperial envoys, stood in the air, as if waiting for the arrival of Li Yushuang and the others.

"Please stay, both of you. One of the three men spoke, his face was charred, and he thought it was caused by the sun guarding the border all year round.

"What's the matter?" Li Yushuang parked the Tongju Cloud Riding Car outside Sanzhang Kai and asked.

"I'm afraid the two of you haven't lived in Dongsheng Shenzhou in recent months. The black-faced man said.

Li Yushuang bowed slightly, noncommittal.

"Six months ago, on the day of the first saint's funeral, the new saint issued a decree, during the state funeral, I was afraid that there would be thieves and disturb the peace of China, so I specially ordered us to guard the border fortress and strictly investigate the people who entered the continent, I don't know where the two teachers came from, and what is the so-called thing when they come to my Shenzhou?" asked the black-faced man.

Knowing the black-faced man's intention, Li Yushuang took a white jade token from his waist and threw it at the man. He arched his hand and said: "I came from Beiju Luzhou, went to Nanzhan Buzhou, passed through here, please make it convenient." ”

The black-faced man held the white jade token, looked at it carefully for a while, and then moved forward to Li Yushuang, returned the token with both hands, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the immortal master of Chengdao Mountain, disrespectful and disrespectful, I think I have a younger brother, and Shangjiazi is fortunate to worship your ......"

"This military master, can you let us pass?" Facing the flattery of the black-faced man, Li Yushuang took the jade card and interrupted.

"That's natural, please take care of yourself. Seeing that Li Yushuang had no intention of talking, the black-faced man was also interested, hugged his fists and said, and then turned sideways to make a way.

"It's hard work. Li Yushuang gestured, and the speed of the bronze horse riding on the cloud car suddenly increased, sweeping into the distance.

Looking at Li Yushuang's distant figure, the black-faced man restrained his smile and returned to his previous appearance of not being angry and arrogant. The younger officer next to him asked, "Boss, what is the origin of that kid, even you are so respectful." ”

The black-faced man glanced at the young officer and said, "You kid, you're still too young, and you still have a lot to learn." ”

............

Li Yushuang and the others walked out of the fortress, and the fifth dream couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle Shi, how can the black-faced man who guarded the city be so polite to you, the last time I passed by here, the soldiers guarding the city were all fierce." After that, he looked at the white jade token on Li Yushuang's waist, and his face was puzzled.

On the other hand, Li Yushuang seemed to know what she was thinking, and threw the jade plate to the fifth dream, and then explained: "This is the white jade order of the Danding of the Enlightenment Mountain, and the old man of Yunxin and the junior disciples of the wordless generation have a piece, but it can be regarded as the black-faced man who has some knowledge, which saves a lot of trouble." ”

The red-crowned white jade makes the carving exquisite, and the start is warm, and the fifth dream is very novel, and it looks up and down.

"Do you know where this Shenzhou Kyoto is located?" asked Li Yushuang.

"To the southeast, about nine hundred and fifty miles from here, Uncle Shi is going to Kyoto?" asked the fifth dream.

"That's right, as mentioned in the book "Miscellaneous Records of the Four Continents", there is a whole building in Kyoto, Shenzhou, and the steamed buns sold are the best in the world. ”

Hearing this, Fifth Jimeng couldn't help but smile and said, "No wonder Uncle Shi, you were in a hurry day and night a few days ago, it turned out that you were thinking about the steamed buns. ”

"But Uncle Shi, I heard that this food is full of benefactors and guests in the whole building, and I am afraid that it will take another half a day to eat it later. ”

"Sit tight. As soon as Li Yushuang's words fell, the speed of the Tongju Cloud Riding Car suddenly increased by a few points, and under the action of inertia, the fifth dream shook and fell in the carriage.

"Uncle Shi, slow down, slow down. ”

............

Shiquanlou, founded 900 years ago, is the most prestigious restaurant in Dongsheng Shenzhou, with branches all over China, but if you want to eat this steamed bun, you must have the main store in Kyoto.

Three hours later, Li Yushuang and the others entered Kyoto, and after inquiring about a gourmet, they finally arrived at the Shiquan Building before noon.

Li Yushuang stands outside the building to observe the whole building, resembling a six-story pagoda, the red vermilion lacquer door is open outward, the helmet top eaves are covered with blue and blue glazed tiles, a plaque is hung under the pineapple horizontal wood, the black lacquer gold seal "eat the whole building" three words, the pen style is flying, the momentum is like a dragon and snake, at a glance you know that it is from everyone's hands. Before entering the building, the aroma of the dishes mixed with the bustling market wind has already arrived. More than a dozen extraordinarily decorated carriages stopped on the side of the road, and the coachman looked into the building from time to time, smelling the aroma and urging his tongue to relish, as if all the delicacies were in front of him, accompanied by the salty baked cakes in his hands.

"This whole building is inevitably too magnificent. "The fifth dream is also in the restaurant business at home, and regardless of the color and fragrance, just by looking at it, it is already a high opinion.

On the other hand, Li Yushuang's complexion has not changed, although this whole building is magnificent, but compared with the many magnificent Taoist places in Chengdao Mountain, it is not as good as the charm.

"Let's go. Li Yushuang said that, and walked towards the building, and before he entered the door, the second child in the store had already trotted to the two of them.

"Yo, two masters Gui'an, I don't know where you two are going today. The little two asked with a smile on his face.

"These layers, but what else is important?" said the fifth dream.

"This is the first time you've come to eat the whole building, we don't look like those pickled places here. Be careful. Let's listen to the little one tell you in detail. Xiao Er restrained his smile slightly, cleared his throat, and said.

"Cough, we eat the sixth floor of the whole building is very particular, this second floor is the rhyme of the product, the whole building is located at the intersection of Zhuque Street and Baihu Street, the pawn businessmen, the scholars and yamen are endless, taste the delicacies, smell the hustle and bustle, a few bowls of wine under the stomach, express the chest directly, the most marketable atmosphere. The third or fourth layer is to appreciate the glow, after the unitary time, the day is sinking in the west, the twilight is gradually revealed, on the place of appreciating the glow, better than here, look at the whole Kyoto, and do not make a handful of the number, then come to the plate of red meat on the lees, watch the glow, taste the glow, naturally it is very pleasant. These five or six layers are indulgent and happy, since ancient times, the literati and have been happy to climb high, indulge wantonly when they are indulgent, often leave ink treasures to help the fun, these five or six layers are often patronized by talented writers, wine over three rounds, leaving countless pen and ink real traces, in the past, there were singers and swords to help the fun, but in recent days can not be liturgical music, some pity. ”

This little two explained quite carefully, Li Yushuang bowed slightly after listening, took out a thumb-sized gold bead from his arms, flicked his fingers, Xiao Er was so busy that he caught it with his hands, and received customers for many years.

"Let's go to the fifth or sixth floor. Li Yushuang said.

"Well, you two please. Xiao Er bowed to his side and made way for him, and when Li Yushuang and the two crossed the threshold, Xiao Er ran to the two of them and shouted, "Xiao Yanagi, Xiao Yanagi." ”

More than a dozen years later, a boy about thirteen or fourteen years old ran briskly with a roll of bamboo slips in his arms.

"Uncle Zhang, you call me?" the young man called Xiaoyanagi asked.

"If you don't call anyone, let's go to you, quickly invite the two distinguished guests to the sixth floor, so that they can wait, if you annoy the distinguished guests, see how I clean you up." Xiao Er said viciously at the young man with his front foot, and turned around with a flattering smile.

"Second master, let this kid take you two upstairs. ”

"Good. Li Yushuang bowed slightly.

"Two distinguished guests, please come with me. Xiao Yanagi led the way, and Li Yushuang and the others followed closely behind, stepping into the sixth floor.

"Today's private room is full, if you two mind, you can sit here for a while, have some refreshments, and I will arrange it for you as soon as possible." Koyanagi said.

Li Yushuang's eyes swept under the panoramic view of the sixth floor, on the limestone painted walls, there are indeed a lot of poems and songs, landscape pictures, five square spaces, only in the corners of the scattered four mahogany round tables, in the six floors there are only six officials in the southeast sitting around a table, but it is not noisy.

"No, here it is. Li Yushuang stretched out his hand and pointed to the round table in the northwest corner and said.

"Well, please sit down and make a pot of tea. With that, Koyanagi hurried downstairs.

As soon as Li Yushuang and the others sat down, the fifth dream said: "Uncle Shi, your shot is too generous, such a big gold bead is enough for two years of living for hundreds of families." ”

"Gold and stone are a thing, cultivators don't value it, if you want to, go back to the mountains to go to Wumengzi, he alchemy all day long, there are many of these things. Li Yushuang replied that he had never been down the mountain, and he had no concept of gold, silver and money, so he did not cherish it.

The fifth dream heard this, but he didn't know how to refute it, at this time, Xiaoliu held a pine tea tray, put the two teacups lightly in front of the two, and after each was full, he spread out the bamboo slips that he had held in his arms before. said: "Aquatic flower tea, you two slow use, this is the recipe of our whole building, you two take a look, this sea bass is newly caught from the river today, it is very fresh, you two want to taste it......"

Li Yushuang and the others looked at the names of various dishes on the bamboo slips, thought for a while, and ordered four dishes: "Steamed Rice Buns, Begonia Cakes, Crab Roe Crispy Soup, and Wine-Stuffed Glutinous Dumplings".

A quarter of an hour later, the three dishes were ready, except for the steamed buns.

"This food is really not in vain, these three dishes are of the highest quality regardless of color and fragrance, but I don't know what the legendary steamed bun tastes like. The fifth dream said, but the bamboo chopsticks in her hand did not stop for a moment, sleeping in the open for more than 30 days, and it was rare to have half a day of leisure, not to mention that there were such delicious foods to taste, so that she had completely abandoned her previous reserve.

"Hmm" Li Yushuang replied vaguely, and was also reluctant to drop the chopsticks.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps at the stairs, and I saw Xiaoliu running briskly from downstairs with a drawer of steamers.

"Steamed buns, here you are"

With a twist of his right hand, Koyanagi drew an arc in the air, and the steamer was lightly placed on the table, and the lid of the cage was lifted, and a cloud of water vapor wrapped in an indescribable aroma rose into the air.

When the steam dissipated, Li Yushuang and the others saw the true face of the powder steamer bun.

The translucent dough has a faint golden color, which is different from the ordinary steamed buns, and there is a hole the size of a fingernail in the fold at the top of the dough, from which the overflowing oil is crystal clear, and the tender filling is obviously extremely condensed after repeated beating.

Not to mention the taste, this appearance alone is enough to boost the appetite of Li Yushuang and the others.

"The two masters use it slowly, and the small ones will retreat first. Xiao Liu turned around and was about to leave, but before he could take two steps, he saw Li Yushuang grab his wrist violently.

"Master, what are you?" asked Koyanagi, turning his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"Uncle Shi, what's wrong?" Seeing Li Yushuang's fierce expression, the fifth dream also asked.

"Stuff is still coming. Li Yushuang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his words were extremely displeased, even slightly angry.

"What is it, master, don't make fun of me, how dare you touch your belongings. Xiao Liu said with a smile, but a panicked look appeared on his face, although it was only for a moment, it was still noticed by Li Yushuang.

"Come back quickly!" Li Yushuang shouted angrily, and the strength in his hand also increased a little.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Xiao Yanagi's smiling face seemed to be frozen at this time, except for the left arm that was grabbed by Li Yushuang, his body turned half a circle in a strange posture, and his wrist suddenly shrunk a few points.

"Bone shrinking method!" Li Yushuang said secretly in his heart, only to feel that his palm was empty, between the electric light and flint, Xiao Liu was about to get out of his control, Li Yushuang ran the exercises, bent his fingers into claws, and the true qi of the Dao was condensed at the fingertips, converging into the shape of a tiger's finger, and pierced half an inch under his skin before Xiao Liu broke free.

The tiger's finger-shaped true qi pierced into his body, and Xiao Yanagi felt a sense of detachment, his legs weakened, and he almost collapsed on the ground.

"Little thief, I don't think you want to eat anymore. Li Yushuang glared at Xiao Yanagi angrily, and the latter's heart trembled, and a drop of cold sweat ran down his eyebrows.

"Don't, I'll pay you back. Koyanagi shouted, rubbing his other hand on his body, for fear that if he was a little slower, he would "be in a different place".
