Chapter 161: The Secret of the Restaurant
The entire country of Wu is basically in this atmosphere, except for the wilderness mountain villages and some remote places, most of the places rich in resources are basically controlled by cultivators.
However, control is control, but people in the righteous path practice do not treat mortals as slaves to enslave, and most of them do not interfere in the lives of mortals on weekdays.
There is no phenomenon like the demonic forces that casually disregard people's lives and treat mortals like ants, after all, monks were all mortals a few years ago, and if they slaughtered all mortals, where would the monks come from.
What's more, the Vast Immortal Sect, the One Qi Imperial Sword Sect, and the Five Elements Sect are all sects that uphold the concept of righteousness, and they pay attention to entering the world and being kind to others.
Therefore, the mortals of Donglai City live a very good life, it can be said that they have no worries about food and clothing, and there are no natural disasters or plagues, and they are not afraid of any fierce beast attacks.
Gao Yuan walked down the street, listening to the constant sounds of selling and traffic on both sides, and suddenly felt very calm, as if he had integrated into the entire Donglai City.
"These mortals have lived in the city of Donglai for generations, without worrying about food and clothing, working at sunrise and returning at dusk, marrying wives and having children, and living and working in peace and contentment. ”
"If I hadn't found the old monster of Montenegro that day, I would have reached the age of marrying a wife by now, and my parents must have told me about their family affairs a long time ago!"
Gao Yuan's eyes were full of reminiscence, and when he entered this Donglai City, he was a mortal as far as he could see, and he couldn't help but think of his mountain village life in the past.
After walking for a while, Gao Yuan came back to his senses, and said in his heart that he almost forgot about the matter, now is the time to remember the past, since I have stepped into the immortal path, then I have to go to the end to see what the scene is at the end of the avenue.
"What should I do now? Do I go directly to the cultivation family and go straight in to see what the situation is? Or do I stand still first, find a place to stay, and inquire slowly?"
"There are also the two pursuers when they came, although they have not appeared, but it is very likely that they have already arrived in Donglai City, waiting for me here!"
"No! I can't just come to the door so rashly, since the second son of the Li family dares to blatantly not contact the sect, presumably things are not so simple, he should have something to rely on."
"If I rush to the door rashly, I'm afraid that someone else will fall into the hands, so I'd better find a place to settle down first, and then slowly find out the news!"
After thinking for a while, Gao Yuan made up his mind and decided not to go to the Li family first, but found a restaurant, ordered a table of wine and food, and prepared to investigate slowly.
Although Gao Yuan has learned the art of bigu, he does not reject food, and he has not eaten delicious food for a long time, and when the wine and food are on the table, Gao Yuan eats as if no one is around.
At the same time, while eating, he was also listening attentively to the conversations of other diners in the restaurant, to say where in the world is the most well-informed, nothing more than a restaurant and a green building;
People in these two places have a lot of mouths, and often after some people drink too much, they don't have a door in their mouths, some of them also say, and they don't say it, and they can often hear a lot of secrets.
Sure enough, not long after Gao Yuan sat down to eat, all kinds of news kept coming from his ears, and I don't know how these people knew.
At this time, it was lunchtime, there were a lot of people in the restaurant, noisy, drinking and bragging, fist fighting, and all kinds of miscellaneous sounds mixed into a pot of porridge.
Fortunately, Gao Yuan is no longer what he used to be, and his hearing is abnormal, so it can be said that when he poured his true qi into the acupuncture points around his ears, all kinds of sounds coming from the entire restaurant could not escape his ears.
After a while, Gao Yuan finally heard the sound of the conversation he was interested in, and the sound should have come from a box on the second floor, and it should be that two monks were drinking and chatting.
"Hey, Brother Li, your Li family's new head of the family has recently come to power, but it's terrible, I heard that the other two major families that are constantly expanding their sphere of influence and oppressing have repeatedly retreated, what is going on? Can you give some news to my brother?"
"Shhh
The person from the Li family who was questioned didn't seem to want to mention this topic at all, so he shirked it again and again, and the person who inquired touched his nose, so he had no choice but to stop mentioning it at the moment, and began to persuade him to drink again and again.
"Haha! It's my brother who is not good! Come Brother Li, brother, I'll fill you up again, how long have you said we haven't seen each other? It seems that since your new head of the family came to power, you have been busy, and I can't see your shadow on weekdays!"
"Don't you follow a good family master, seeing that you are going to soar, don't you like to take care of my brother? Don't you forget, I didn't take care of you back then!"
"Brother Ba, where are you talking about, you and I have been friends for many years, my brother has always treated me well, brother, where do I have such thoughts, come, brother, I'll have a toast with you!"
The two of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps, ate and drank, at least half an hour later, the wine had passed three rounds, and the dishes had five flavors, and they were all a little drunk.
The person who was called Brother Ba opened his mouth to inquire again, and he didn't know what he thought, he had the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking to the end, and he had been inquiring about the news in circles for a long time, and even Gao Yuan heard the meaning.
"Brother Li, in fact, your brother Ba seems to be beautiful, and he is the captain of the city patrol team, and he shows off his martial arts on weekdays, and your three major families also give your brother some face!"
"But in fact, who doesn't know that this Donglai City is the final decision of your three major families, our puppet city lord, who only knows cultivation all day long, and doesn't care about everything, how can you know the suffering of our subordinates!"
"If you really take your brother Ba as a friend, then you can tell me the truth, what happened to your family, this discerning person can see that you are going to make a big move!"
"Brother, you tell me a thing or two, brother, I have to prepare in advance, so that I won't be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, I can't say anything about my suffering, if you lose your life in plain vain, you don't want to see jokes!"
The eyes of the sex couldn't ask, and he thought about it, this time he used the bitter meat trick, and the voice of this remark was so emotional that even Gao Yuan was a little moved when he heard it.
The heart said that it seems that he said this, I'm afraid that the kid surnamed Li can't hold back, if he really knows something, he should always be able to reveal a thing or two, it seems that this meal was not in vain, there is really a windfall.
Sure enough, the man surnamed Li couldn't save face when he heard his old friend who had been friends for many years begging so hard, and he also strengthened a lot of courage with a little bit of wine, so he lowered his voice and said:
