Chapter 17: Late Night Noodle House
Looking at the rain outside the door, Mo Chen retracted his thoughts, turned back to the house, and took out the [Travels in Mountains and Seas] and looked at it with relish, he is still in a state of ignorance about the various aspects of the immortal cultivation world, and this volume [Travels to Mountains and Seas] records many interesting stories and secrets in the immortal cultivation world, although there is no magic power on it, but there are also some experiences of the immortal who wrote this book for cultivation, every time he reads this volume, Mo Chen has a slightly different experience.
Unconsciously, it was already dark outside, Mo Chen lit the candle, rubbed his stomach, and said to himself: "I don't know if there is still food to sell at this time?"
At this time, there was still some light rain dripping, Mo Chen held up an oil-paper umbrella in one hand, and held a lantern in the other, walking outside, it was raining today, many people had eaten dinner early to rest, and as far as the eye could see, only one or two households still had lights in their homes.
Walking to the noodle shop of Old Man Yang's house, it was surprising that the stall had not yet been closed, Mo Chen walked into the noodle shop, and saw Old Man Yang sitting on the stool in a daze with nothing to do, he heard the sound, turned around, and saw Mo Chen walking in, and a smile immediately bloomed on the old face: "Mr. Mo is here, haven't you eaten yet?" I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you right away." ”
Mo Chen was stunned when he heard Old Man Yang's words, and when he heard this, the latter confiscated the stall specifically to wait for him? ”
When he walked to a place and sat down, his expression suddenly moved, and he shouted to Old Man Yang who was cooking noodles: "Old Yang, please have two more bowls of noodles, Mo and two friends will be there soon." ”
"Okay, I'll cut you some more beef, haha. Old man Yang laughed and agreed, wondering who Mr. Mo's friend was.
After a while, Old Man Yang really saw two old men coming over, one of them was wearing a brocade robe, with white hair and white beard, and he had a majestic bearing when he walked, it was Zhao Yuanlou, the city god. The other old man was dressed in a sackcloth and held a cane in his hand, with a smile on his face that looked kind.
"The two of you are here to find Mr. Mo, Mr. Mo is already waiting for the two of you inside. Old man Yang said.
Zhao Chenghuang smiled at Old Man Yang, and then led the old man in Mai beside him in, Mo Chen saw the two of them come in, stood up, and saluted the two, "I've seen two adults." ”
Zhao Chenghuang and the old man in sackcloth hurriedly returned the salute, and Mo Chen smiled: "Please sit down, two of you." ”
Zhao Chenghuang and the others sat down and said to Mo Chen: "Mr. Mo, let me introduce to you, this is our land lord of Anxi County." ”
Although Mo Chen had some guesses, he was still a little surprised, the land of a county, plus the city god, this can be said to be the two highest bosses who control the affairs of ghosts and gods in the entire Anxi County.
"It turned out to be the face of the land lord, and Mo Chen was polite. Mo Chen said.
The land lord hurriedly replied: "Mr. Mo is polite, the old man has heard Mr. Mo's name for a long time, and he has long wanted to visit and was afraid of disturbing your Qing Xiu, but I didn't expect to see you here today, and the old man is very lucky." ”
"The two of you came to Mo so late, I don't know what's going on?" Mo Chen asked.
Zhao Chenghuang's face became solemn, and he said: "Then Wujiang ghost cultivators have news, and they will return to the east of the city tonight, and there are five powerful ghost cultivators who will come back with him, and they will offend my yin in the near future." ”
Mo Chen smiled slightly, his face was full of ease, and then said: "Don't worry, Lord Chenghuang, Mo has already taken countermeasures, Lord Chenghuang is sure that Wujiang is not from the border of the Great Yan Country...... The noodles are coming, eat the noodles first, let's talk while eating, today's meal Mo invites the two. ”
Old man Yang put three bowls of noodles on the table, took out a large stack of beef and put it down, and said, "Three slow use, if the beef is not enough, Mr. Mo, you call me, and I will cut it again." ”
Mo Chen smiled: "Enough is enough, thank you Elder Yang." ”
Old man Yang nodded, walked aside, Mo Chen smelled the aroma of lo noodles and beef, and had already had a great appetite, greeted the two of them, and ate first, Zhao Chenghuang and the two of them had no need for this kind of worldly food, and even eating too many mundane things had some impact on cultivation, but Mo Chen just said that he would please, and the two of them were not good at Mo Chen's interest, so they could only pick up chopsticks and eat.
The three of them chatted while eating, Mo Chen briefly talked about his plan, Zhao Chenghuang and the land prince immediately smiled, Old Man Yang looked at the three people who were talking happily, and the old face picked his ears suspiciously: "Strange, why can't you hear Mr. Mo and them talking? And how are these two friends of Mr. Mo also a little familiar? Could it be that he has eaten in the old man's noodle restaurant before?"
After eating, Mo Chen went to settle the bill, but Old Man Yang refused to accept it, Mo Chen had no choice but to secretly transport a trace of mana and throw a tael of silver into the cash box unconsciously.
The three of them came out of the noodle shop, Zhao Chenghuang had to pull Mo Chen to sit in the Yin Division, Mo Chen couldn't resist him, so he had to walk towards the Chenghuang Temple with the two, and the old man Yang on the other side was cleaning up the guys, no one came to eat noodles today except Mo Chen, and he didn't have a stall until now because he thought that Mo Chen didn't look like a person who could cook, and he was waiting for Mo Chen.
While cleaning up, he thought about his grandson Ah Niu, and even learned a few big characters with Mr. Mo, although it is unlikely that he will be an official in the future, but after all, he is not an illiterate Bai Ding. And the old gentleman in brocade just now, his body is so majestic, and he looks more generous than the county commander, isn't it a big official? Mr. Mo knows a lot of people.
"Bang!" Suddenly, as if thinking of something, the kitchen knife in Old Man Yang's hand fell to the ground, almost cutting his foot, and he himself was unaware, still looking ahead in a daze, constantly recalling the faces of the two old men just now, and finally overlapping with the statues in the two temples.
"City ...... Chenghuang ...... Lord God, Earth ...... The land lord ......"
Thinking of this, the strength of Old Man Yang's whole body seemed to be emptied, he sat down on the ground, and only came back to his senses after half a ring, tremblingly packed up his things, closed the door, picked up the cash box and walked towards the house where he lived. ”
Old man Yang turned his head in a trembling and said in a trembling voice: "Old woman, I saw the gods today!"
Mrs. Yang snorted: "Have you seen a fairy?" I think you have seen a ghost, and you haven't come back from the stall so late, so you have to wait for that Mr. Mo!" After speaking, he took the cash box in Old Man Yang's hand, and suddenly felt that something seemed to be rolling around in the cash box.
Old man Yang didn't know that there was money in the money box, and when he heard his wife's unceremonious words, he hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, you mother-in-law, I saw it with my own eyes, Mr. Mo and Lord Chenghuang and Lord Di are eating at the same table, you ......"
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Yang turned around with a silver ingot, and when Old Man Yang saw it, his eyes widened suddenly: "This ......"
Looking at the weight of the silver, I am afraid that it is not less than one or two, Old Man Yang recalled that no one except Mo Chen came to the noodle restaurant to eat noodles all day, could it be Mr. Mo......
"Old woman, go and call your son and daughter-in-law over. Old man Yang suddenly said loudly.
Mrs. Yang looked at him puzzled and asked, "What are you calling them for?"
Old man Yang looked at the one or two pieces of silver, and said excitedly: "Offer these two pieces of silver, and in the future, they will be offered together with the ancestral spiritual position, and the descendants of the Yang family will worship every day in the future, even if the family is ruined, they are not allowed to use it." ”
Then he took the tael of silver with trembling hands, as if holding some treasure.
"This is not the silver given by mortals......"
