"Old man, your food and drinks are ready."
Naturally, the waiter didn't notice the strange behavior of the two people, and put the food and wine on the plate on the table one by one.
"Thank you, waiter." The drunkard quickly stood up and helped the waiter put the food on the table. Mu Jingyu was about to stand up to help, but was stopped by the drunkard's eyes. Knowing that there must be something fishy, he turned back and sat down.
After the waiter bowed his back and took a few steps back, the drunkard looked around without leaving any trace. Especially when he saw that the two tables of monsters did not notice him, he pretended not to care and handed the waiter just now. He put a small piece of animal skin into his arms.
"My good disciple, please try the special wine and food of Tianxiang House. The preservation is different from those in other states." The drunkard's expression returned to normal. Seeing that Mu Jingyu was still looking at him intently, he picked up the chopsticks and tapped. After finishing the meal, I urged him a few times.
Mu Jingyu's thoughts at the moment were all about the animal skin that the drunkard had just put in his arms. Hearing this, he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the plate of pure animal soup stewed with unknown meat.
In just a moment, I was attracted by the delicious food. I couldn't help but praise him repeatedly, and put several pieces of meat into my mouth. While chewing, I asked: "Master, what kind of meat is in this Shiquanbai Beast Soup? This kid has lived so long. Time, I have never eaten such delicious food.”
It was already ten minutes past noon, and Mu Jingyu's stomach was already growling. At this moment, after taking a few bites of delicious meat, I couldn't stop immediately. He was mumbling something in his mouth, but his hands were not idle. He picked up the bowl of fragrant rice in front of him and stuffed his mouth full.
The drunkard picked up the teapot that was smoking, filled a cup of tea for him, and handed it to him: "Slow down, kid. Take a sip of tea first to calm your breath. Don't choke."
At the same time, he said in his heart: "As for what kind of meat is in this, I won't tell you, so as not to spit it out after hearing it."
Mu Jingyu ate it with relish, but he had no idea that this pure animal soup was made from ugly animals such as toads, pythons, monitor lizards, and rock monkeys. It was made using a special secret method to cover up the original appearance of the soup. The fishy, bitter and spicy taste has become fragrant and the meat is fresh and smooth.
Even the Yunshan Mist Snow Tea and Moxiang Rice are irrigated with the blood of a kind of earthworm called Chicory eel. Therefore, its taste and aroma are different from ordinary tea rice.
In just a short time, Mu Jingyu ate all the food. After removing the last bit of rice from the bowl, he suddenly saw a palm-sized circular token at the bottom of the bowl, with a few small characters engraved in the center.
He let out a light sigh in his mouth, and was about to take the thing out out of curiosity, but saw the drunkard suddenly coughed a few times, took the bowl of rice in front of him, and poured it into Mu Jingyu's bowl.
"My good disciple, you must not be full yet. I will leave this bowl of rice for you to eat as well."
Watching the drunkard pour all the rice into his bowl, a token of the same size was revealed at the bottom of the bowl. With a gentle tap without leaving a trace, it fell into the palm of my hand. Then it slid into the sleeves.
"Oh? Oh, disciple, thank you Master for your concern." Mu Jingyu still didn't understand why the drunkard insisted on eating in Tianxiang Tower because of these two small tokens.
After thanking him immediately, he ate the remaining rice in a few gulps. In the end, he imitated the drunkard's behavior, and while he was raising the bowl to pour rice into his mouth, he took advantage of the situation and put the token at the bottom of the bowl into his sleeve.
"Waiter, let's settle the score!" The drunkard motioned Mu Jingyu to stand up. After touching his stomach, he glanced at the two tables of monsters without leaving any trace. After seeing that they all just looked at the two of them casually, they felt relieved.
"Have you two guests finished eating? It's one tael of silver in total. Please go downstairs and ask the person in charge to take over the bill." Upon hearing this, the waiter ran upstairs quickly and guided the two of them downstairs to settle the account. Clean the dishes and chopsticks on the table quickly.
"Thank you." The drunkard held a broken piece of silver in his hand and led Mu Jingyu towards the stairs. Just when I came here, I felt two vague eyes looking at me and Mu Jingyu.
The pace didn't stop at the moment, as if he didn't notice it. Just when he went down to the first floor, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he sneered: "Haha, I didn't expect that I was discovered by someone."
Mu Jingyu heard the faint laughter from the drunkard's mouth and was confused for a moment. But now that they were in the noisy environment on the first floor, they were worried that there would be hidden spirits watching the two of them, so they didn't say anything.
The two spirits sitting in the stairwell also stood up when the drunkard finished settling his accounts and walked out of Tianxiang Tower. Following them downstairs, after paying the bill, Diao stood behind Jiugui and Mu Jingyu in the distance.
"Third brother, are you sure there is anything suspicious about the old man and the young man?"
After leaving the restaurant, the slightly short and dark-faced spirit looked at the two people a hundred feet away and asked in a low voice.
"Hahaha, fourth brother. Although the old guy deliberately restrained his aura, he still couldn't fool my eyes. Just now when the waiter led them to the second floor, I became suspicious. I just saw that they were all dressed as businessmen. I thought they were just two ordinary businessmen who came here to do business, and it was normal to have some cultivation. But..."
Another elf with a slender figure, a long face and a broad nose stretched out his neck that was obviously much longer than ordinary people, and looked at the two people with a sneer.
"But when the waiter brought the food, I made a special trip and smelled some of the food they had just ordered. I realized that there was actually a soup of all kinds of beasts that ordinary humans would not order, and I immediately got excited. Suspicious."
"Just now, while they were going downstairs, I used my true energy to test the old guy, and found that his cultivation level was not the Qi transformation realm as I thought before. Apparently, he deliberately hid his true cultivation level. The two of us agreed. The leader of Qingyun Village has ordered us to patrol within Zhanzhou, Nanhai. Since we have discovered suspicious persons, we naturally cannot let them go."
This Qingyun Village is responsible for secret investigation and inspection of the entire Yaoming Palace's sphere of influence, and promptly discovers the whereabouts of suspicious people. The leader of the village, Chuanyunzi, is actually a pangolin who has been practicing for hundreds of years and is extremely good at identifying people.
And the twelve secret investigators below are all all kinds of spirits who are proficient in this way. And this lynx and Yunlu Jing were one of the twelve secret investigators personally appointed by Chuan Yunzi.
The two of them have been wandering near Longshou Mountain all year round. They can be said to be the pair of secret agents closest to the outer reaches of Yaoming Palace's sphere of influence in Qingyun Village. Their own cultivation levels are not too low, and they have both reached the peak of Guiyuan.
At this moment, in order not to alert the snake, the two spirits attracted the attention of Jiugui and Mu Jingyu. They waited until they were four or five miles away before they both followed them.
Logically speaking, based on their cultivation, it would be impossible to lock the two people's auras at such a long distance without using the true energy lock.
But this lynx's nose is extremely sensitive. As long as he has smelled it, he can smell it accurately even if it is dozens of miles away. And Yun Lujing's eyes can also see every move ten miles away.
With these two innate characteristics, they are naturally not afraid of losing track of their target.
As for the two tails hanging behind him, Mu Jingyu would naturally not notice them based on his cultivation level. But the drunkard also pretended that nothing happened. After leading him on the official road for seven or eight miles, he raised his head and looked at the surrounding terrain. After seeing that there were no traveling merchants in front or behind, he suddenly got into the dense forest next to him. .
This forest has obviously not been walked on for a long time and is overgrown with weeds. Mu Jingyu followed behind, and after walking a few steps, he took out the token that he had quietly put into his sleeve.
After leaving the restaurant just now, he wanted to ask the drunkard what the use of this small token was. It was only because of the constant presence of traveling merchants on the road that I suppressed my curiosity.
Now that we have arrived in the dense forest and see no one behind us, we naturally can't help ourselves: "Master, what kind of riddle did you just give the waiter in the shop? And what are the two tokens at the bottom of the bowl for?"
After hearing this, the drunkard took out the token from his sleeve, looked at it carefully in his hand, and said: "My good disciple, take out your token and look at it, don't you know?" .”
After Mu Jingyu groaned, he smiled dryly and scratched his head. Why didn't he think of such a simple thing?
After taking out the token he had put away, he looked at it carefully in his hand. I just felt that this token was different from the two tokens I had seen held by Liu Xie and the person pretending to be a black cat.
Not only is it much smaller, it is barely as big as the palm of your hand. But the weight is much heavier than expected, and it seems to be like an ordinary token, not made of ordinary gold and jade.
He lowered his head and turned the token over again, and found that the colors on the two sides were also different. The color on one side was black with a little fluorescence. After taking a closer look, I found that this little fluorescence formed a small Chinese character. The other side is entirely black and green, with the appearance of a mountain village engraved on it. Near the bottom, there are four small characters engraved on it: Wuyuan Shanzhai.
"Boundless Mountain Village?" Mu Jingyu muttered it softly, and for a moment he couldn't understand what the words "Ling" and "Boundless Mountain Village" engraved on it meant.
"Not bad!" The drunkard said at the right time, took the token from Mu Jingyu's hand, first compared it with the token in his book, and found that the style was the same before returning it to Mu Jingyu.
"These two tokens are the tokens of Wuyuan Village, one of the seven villages of Yaoming Palace. Only with these two tokens can we walk in Zhanzhou, South China Sea with confidence."
After listening to the drunkard's explanation, Mu Jingyu suddenly said: "I understand what Master means. This place is within the sphere of influence of Yaoming Palace. If you want people to sneak into the hinterland of Danchan Mountain without anyone noticing, you must have something." Something to hide one’s identity.”
Having said this, Mu Jingyu understood why the drunkard hesitated to stay in Tianxiang Tower. For, it is these two tokens.
Thinking that Wangxian Tower has been operating here for more than several years, he must have a lot of things from Yaoming Palace on hand for the casual cultivators who come and go here. And after the drunkard revealed his identity to the waiter, the name of the dish he reported must also be an extremely secret code. Therefore, the waiter in the shop can deliver what the drunkard needs.
"However, even if we get these two tokens, we don't look weird! Once someone discovers them, they can't be fooled by just these two tokens. Maybe it will arouse suspicion. Here." Mu Jingyu said looking at the old face of the drunkard.
"Silly boy, do you think I was full after spending a long time talking to that old liar in the small town of Linjin?" The drunkard laughed and cursed, then took the Bai Rong Fen given to him by Taoist Tai Er. come out.
"Bai Rong fan?" Mu Jingyu chewed these three words carefully again, and then laughed and said: "It turns out that Master has already thought of a plan, and I have been worried about it for a long time."
It was only then that Mu Jingyu suddenly realized what this Bai Rongfen was.
"Without further delay, you and me, master and apprentice, should change your appearance quickly. Otherwise, it will be troublesome when those two followers catch up."
Before Mu Jingyu understood what the drunkard meant by "following his followers," he saw that he had already poured some powder from the porcelain bottle. First, he smeared it on his face, and then patted the remaining powder on Mu Jingyu's face.
"Ahem, cough, cough, the smell of Bai Rong powder is so pungent." As the powder spread, Mu Jingyu poured a lot of it into his mouth and nose, and he couldn't help coughing violently. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised that the drunkard in front of him had changed his appearance.
"This...this...Master, is this you, old man?"
I saw a pale face, two fangs exposed under the corners of the mouth, and a high nose, like a terrifying face like a wild boar, appeared in front of me.
