"The train is about to arrive at the station, Beifeng City. Please check your carry-on luggage. Imperial Trains wishes you a smooth journey and looks forward to your choosing this train again. Thank you."
A sweet female voice sounded in the spacious carriage. This three-day long journey finally came to the end. The bright sunshine shone on the northern-style station, emitting little crystal lights against the white snow.
This is the northernmost city in the Cangyun Empire, and it is also the main city-level city closest to the northern border of the fairy world. As long as you walk thirty miles further north, you can cross the border of the empire and enter the real ice and snow area.
"Li Shaoxia, thank you very much this time. If you hadn't acted righteously, I'm afraid many more people would have died. Then I, the train conductor, will definitely be blamed. I will probably spend the rest of my life in prison."
Xie An held Li Mu's hand tightly. If it hadn't been in public, the conductor would probably have shed tears. At this time, Li Mu was simply his savior. No matter how much he thanked him, he would have shed tears. Too much.
"It's just a little effort. We are all from the Cangyun Empire, and if we encounter such a vicious monster in the territory, I think any cultivator will not hesitate to take action. Remember to record the entire process of this incident in writing. , submit it to the Imperial Transportation Department to ask them to be more vigilant and prevent this kind of black worm from killing civilians in other places."
Li Mu waved his hand, saying that he didn't put in much effort to deal with the worm monster. After bidding farewell to Xie An, who kept nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, he specifically found Mo Shang, who was instructing the servants to carry the luggage.
"This? This is the ring I gave to Fenghua when she got engaged. I haven't seen her wearing it since that day. I thought she just threw it away somewhere."
Seeing the gemstone ring that Li Mu took out, Mo Shang looked surprised. He put the ring in his hand and rubbed it back and forth. Finally, his eyes were fixed on the two inconspicuous words in the inner circle.
"I found this from the monster's body. It should be Miss Jin's personal possession. She collected it so well that the monster thought it was some huge treasure, and finally took it away."
Li Mu slowly explained the process of obtaining the ring. He could not judge Jin Fenghua's character and behavior. He could not verify whether she had done anything to regret Mo Shang after becoming a married woman.
But at least this ring stored close to her body shows that Jin Fenghua does not care about this marriage at all, and she even regards this relationship as one of her most precious things.
It's just that this person has passed away, and Mo Shang will never know what his wife thought. He can only hold the ring that sparkles in the sun tightly, resisting the urge to cry, and bow to Li Mu to thank her.
After coming out of the station, Li Mu finally felt what the real northern scenery was. Characteristic buildings with red roofs and gray walls were scattered on both sides of the street, and snow as high as ankles was piled in front of shops and residences.
Most of the travelers were wearing heavy cotton-padded jackets. In order to resist the cold, soft long-eared felt hats became standard equipment. From time to time, carriages passed by. In order to prevent slipping, the soles of these horses were also equipped with special iron hooves. Every step made a crisp sound, making Li Mu look sideways frequently.
The novel sight opened the eyes of Li Muda, who was born in Qinglan City. He walked up and down the spacious streets, and from time to time he would step into a certain store, as if he was full of curiosity about everything, but for food lovers, It is said that the pure and pure fragrance that gradually floats is undoubtedly the most exciting thing.
"The goose is slaughtered right now and cooked with our own special sauce. The best goose stewed in iron pot in Beifeng City is in our store. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay. Come and try it, gentlemen."
"Traditional Beifeng farm dishes, honey pot-wrapped pork, pheasant stewed vermicelli, and crispy mountain delicacies mixed with vegetables, you can only imagine it. We can't do it. Limited time lunch offer, come quickly, come quickly."
"The secret frozen cabbage passed down from our ancestors is made from the high-quality hind leg meat of the quasi-first-class demon beast - black dolphin pig. Beifeng City's unique cabbage and pork dumplings are only sold for five cangyun coins each. Today's big sale, don't miss it miss."
As soon as he stepped into the food street located in the center of Beifeng City, Li Mu was overwhelmed by the shouts and cries of sales. Northerners
He was already enthusiastic and had absolute confidence in his craftsmanship. When he saw a young man who looked hungry coming in, he naturally tried his best to drag him into the store.
"Sir, my scalloped pork belly is one of the best, and the dried tofu with sharp peppers is ranked second in Beifeng City. No one dares to say it is number one. Come in and try it."
"My guest, my guest, it seems that you are coming to Beifeng City for the first time. Then you must try my flower-stuffed ground three delicacies. This is an improvement made by my master based on traditional famous dishes. I guarantee you will eat it once." I ate it twice and couldn’t forget it. I felt itchy when I couldn’t eat it.”
"Sir, you'd better come to my place for dinner. Our Beifeng pork elbow is one of the best in the empire. Every year, many people from other places come here just for this rich and mellow taste."
Under the "indiscriminate bombardment" of countless stores, Li Mu quickly lost his target. He also wanted to eat this one, and that one looked good. In the end, he used his heart of the Holy Spirit to get rid of his growing appetite and chose a restaurant. Sit down and look at the refreshing and elegant little shop.
"Man, I'm from a foreign country. It's my first time in Beifeng City. Please serve me some of your specialties and a bottle of good wine."
The waiter in the store was obviously used to this kind of scene. He quickly filled Li Muxian with a cup of hot tea, and then he agreed and ran all the way to the kitchen. It didn't take long for him to bring several dishes and place them one by one. In front of Li Mu.
"Sir, these are three-thin fried beans. They are made from local shredded onions, coriander, and potatoes, plus fried peanuts in advance. They are sour, spicy and refreshing, and are just right for you to drink."
"This dish is stir-fried silkworm chrysalis. It is salty, crispy, spicy and has a high nutritional value. You will definitely like it."
"There is also this snow-coated bean paste, which is made of pureed bean paste and black egg white. Although it is simple, there are not many people in Beifeng City who can make it well. It is one of the characteristics of our store."
The waiter was very capable. Not only was his service very attentive, but he also explained clearly the recipes and stories of the dishes on the table. Li Mu, who had traveled extensively for many years, was a little surprised.
"My lord, please take your time and enjoy. The younger one's name is Fu Er. If you have any requests, you can just call me."
Fu Er accepted it as soon as he was satisfied, and took the initiative to retreat, leaving Li Mu some space to taste the delicacies alone. Such a comfortable experience made Li Mu, who had originally planned to leave immediately, began to think about whether to stay a few more days.
"I didn't expect there to be such a charming city in the north of the empire. Wouldn't it be a pity not to visit it?"
