When Gu Chen raised his head, Master Dongyang had disappeared. People walking on the street looked at the young man who had kneeled on the ground strangely. No one noticed the coming and going of Master Dongyang. .
Gu Chen stood up, patted the dust on his body, and looked around blankly. In this strange place, he was alone and had nothing to offer him. What he should be thinking about now was how to survive as an ordinary person.
This was a bit difficult for Gu Chen, who had lived in Kunlun Mountain since he was a child, because he was unfamiliar with everything under the mountain. He touched his belly, looked around, found a bun shop not far away, and walked over with nostalgia.
Steamed buns were the only common food he was familiar with. When he was young, he was carried up the mountain by Master Dongyang. He was not suitable for spiritual practice at a young age. Although there were grains on the mountain, Master Dongyang thought it was troublesome to cook, so steamed buns became his Staple food, because steamed buns are easy to get and store, and can be eaten when heated. Then he started to practice and could eat bigu pills. Master Dongyang no longer needed to go to the mountain every three or four days for his food rations. After that, his cultivation level improved. , he could start eating grains by himself, so Baozi also stayed away from his life.
Thinking of steamed buns, he recalled that when he walked into the steamed bun shop, his face was full of emotion and expectation. Seeing his expression, the boss of the steamed bun shop suddenly felt that his steamed buns had a long way to go, so he quickly opened the steamers one by one and waited. Gu Chen chose.
Gu Chen looked at them for a long time, but suddenly he felt troubled. He felt that these buns were all different, and they were all different from the buns that Master Dongyang had brought to him. He couldn't help but wonder if these buns were real buns.
The boss waited for a while and finally felt strange and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what kind of stuffing do you want to eat?"
Gu Chen, the caretaker, has a handsome appearance, is dressed neatly in white clothes, and has a slightly pale face. He should come from a wealthy family, so the boss calls him very polite.
Gu Chen's eyes wandered and he asked at the same time: "What's the stuffing?"
"There's pork, bean paste, bamboo shoots..."
Counting them one by one, Gu Chen was confused as he listened. He didn't know what to choose. He just thought about what the fillings of the buns that Master Dongyang bought for him were supposed to be. But the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He couldn't figure out what the filling should be, and at the same time, he felt like it was both and neither.
Because he was thinking seriously, he stopped and his eyes naturally fell on a cage of steamed buns. The boss thought he had made a choice and quickly took out a steamed bun and handed it to Gu Chen.
"This is a meat bun."
Gu Chen took it with both hands, full of joy, as if the treasure that had left him was suddenly found, making him cherish it and stare at the meat bun in trance.
The boss looked at him for a long time and finally couldn't help coughing: "Sir, the buns are for eating."
Gu Chen came to his senses and quickly took a bite. The familiar and long-lasting feeling made him take a deep breath. The taste seemed even more delicious than what he had eaten when he was a child. He couldn't help but blurted out, "It's delicious." .”
The boss was very happy when he heard this and showed off: "Young master is really an expert. I am not bragging. Among the bun shops near and far in Qingmu Town, my buns, Zhang Dashan's, are the most delicious."
Gu Chen ate with gusto, the meat juice coating his mouth. While eating, he nodded secretly and said, "So this is Qingmu Town, and the uncle's name is Zhang Dashan."
Seeing that Gu Chen had almost finished eating, Zhang Dashan hesitated and whispered: "Master, one meat bun and two copper coins."
"Two copper coins?"
Gu Chen finished his last bite and looked over with confusion.
"Yes, two copper coins."
Zhang Dashan nodded and waited with a smile, but slowly he felt something was wrong. Why did this young man look so confused and bewildered when he mentioned "two copper coins"?
His steamed buns were delicious and cheap. Two copper coins were really not expensive. But looking at Gu Chen's expression, Zhang Dashan came up with an extremely ridiculous idea. Doesn't this kid not know what a copper coin is?
This ridiculous idea flashed past, and Zhang Dashan asked: "Sir, don't you have any money with you?"
Gu Chen shook his head, feeling vaguely that he had done something wrong.
"where is your family?"
"family?"
"Is there no one at home?"
Gu Chen thought about it, Master Dongyang was the person he was closest to, probably his family, so he said, "I have a master."
"master?"
Seeing Zhang Dashan's stunned expression, Gu Chen was startled, and then thought that he was no longer Kunlun's disciple, so he changed his words: "Teacher."
"What about your teacher?"
Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Let's go."
"Where have you gone?"
Gu Chen pursed his lips and said nothing. Zhang Dashan quickly reacted, thinking that this might be someone else's private matter and not easy to inquire about, so he changed his mind and asked, "When will you come back?"
Gu Chen shook his head and said, "I won't come back."
Zhang Dashan was speechless immediately. For a long time, Gu Chen stood there like a child who had done something wrong, with his head lowered. Although he didn't know what he had done wrong, he knew that he must have done something wrong somewhere. When he was a child, he was naughty. Every time he did something wrong, he would be like this. He would wait for Master Dongyang to punish him. He would do whatever Master Dongyang asked him to do. Gu Chen felt that the same should be the case at the foot of the mountain, and he was prepared.
"Forget it, let's go."
Gu Chen raised his head in surprise, doubting his hearing for the first time in his life. Zhang Dashan also looked at him, once again wondering about this young man's reaction. An ordinary child would not be able to run away after eating the Overlord meal. Although it was just a steamed bun, this How did the child react? If you know you don’t have to pay, shouldn’t you run out happily?
Gu Chen asked with some uncertainty: "Is this... okay?"
Zhang Dashan suddenly felt funny and said: "Then what do you want?"
Gu Chen said: "Didn't I do something wrong?"
Zhang Dashan asked again: "Then do you know what you did wrong?"
Gu Chen shook his head blankly.
Zhang Dashan sighed, thinking that he was a young man from a wealthy family. He was used to having to stretch his hands for food and open his mouth for clothes. He didn’t know anything about food, rice, oil, salt, or copper coins. He came to Qingmu Town to experience life, but this guy The young master had a good temper and a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes, although he didn't know where he was wrong. Then he thought that even the young master from a wealthy family liked his buns, and he felt satisfied for a while, and the last trace of anger in his heart dissipated.
He came over, patted Gu Chen's shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's just a bun. Just treat it like I'm treating you to dinner. The sun is going down, so you'd better go back quickly."
Gu Chen felt a little baffled and walked out of the bun shop without knowing why. He looked back and felt that he had learned something when he first came to the world under the mountain, but he seemed to have learned nothing at all.
It was getting dark, and there were fewer people on the street. He followed the flow of people, thinking about where he should go next, but before he could think clearly, he felt short of breath, weak, and deeply tired after walking a certain distance. It hit him, making him dizzy.
Gu Chen swayed and sat down on the steps in front of a store. He didn't pay attention to what store he was looking at. He just felt that he was very tired and wanted to take a rest. He felt that his body was very weak and his meridians were destroyed. After that, his body was a bit weaker than that of ordinary people. What could he do like this?
Gu Chen reluctantly raised his head, looking blankly at the people on the street, and murmured to himself: "I wonder if I can find a cave to rest here? No, this is not a mountain, and I am not a cultivator. There seems to be no cultivators here. By……"
His consciousness was a little hazy, in a trance, and his consciousness was a little light, but his head was getting heavier and heavier, and his eyelids slowly closed. The remaining consciousness made him think a lot, and he murmured like a dream.
"The buns are really delicious, better than what I...six years ago..."
Then he seemed to have thought of something, had some expectations, and his voice was a little unclear.
"Can I return to Kunlun in six years? And just like the buns will be more delicious after six years, when I return to the door after six years, everything will be better... better... master..."
