However, neither Jing nor Wei, nor the so-called "Businessmen of Hundred Eyes Country", noticed that there was a small and misty variable in their wishful thinking.
In a tea shop ten miles away from the city, a short man with a rough appearance and short clothes walked into the tea shop. He was carrying a small package on his back, followed by a mangy yellow dog. He looked inside and shouted: "Shopkeeper, please bring me a pot." Hot tea and some tea and food."
After hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly glared and shouted: "Which...which nostril of yours smells that there is something unpleasant in our shop?"
When the man saw the shopkeeper's panic expression, he felt a move in his heart and said, "Is there any hot wine?"
The shopkeeper shook his hands and said: "No, no, our store has never sold anything that is not cold. If you want something hot... if you want something that is not cold, go and look for it elsewhere. Our store abides by the law. There is nothing that is not cool."
The man tilted his head slightly and said, "Is there any other home nearby? Since there is no such thing as yours, tell me what else you have to eat and drink. Once you're full, you can go on your way."
The shopkeeper was frightened and reluctant to give up the business. He stared at him for a few times to see that he was not obsessed with hot tea and wine. Then he slowly took out a pot of cold tea and a plate of cold yellow buns, placed them in front of the man, and added He said: "Small shops always only have these, and we don't sell anything that is not cool."
As if the man hadn't heard anything, he was immersed in drinking tea and eating steamed buns. He drank both the tea and steamed buns in a short time like a storm. The mangy yellow dog was circling aside, trying to jump on the stool from time to time, but was hugged by the man. But it was steamed buns. Not even a piece of skin was given to him. The shopkeeper thought it was a wild dog and was about to chase it away. The man stood up and took out a small cloth bag from the package. He counted a few coins and settled the bill with the shopkeeper. After picking up the clothes and the package on his back, he walked out of the tea shop, and the mangy dog followed him on the road without needing to be greeted.
The shopkeeper kept watching his back as he walked away on the road, and there was no way to ambush anyone in the vicinity. His heart that had been hanging for a long time was just put into his stomach. He recalled the man's dark complexion, the calluses on his hands, and the look of him gobbling up food. , spat bitterly: "It turns out he's not a businessman wearing makeup, but a reckless man from the country. What's hot? It's hot. I've been worried for a long time, and even blurted out the word 'hot'. Alas, this word But he was unlucky, so he quickly rinsed his mouth with herbal tea." He thought so in his mind, and he took a pot and poured himself a cup, gargled his mouth, and spit out the door again, like sending a plague to the tea shop. Those "hot" words in the conversation were sent out.
Little did he know that what he was saying to himself was carried by the wind to the ears of the man just now.
"The rules of the Yunwu Kingdom are really weird. Saying the word "hot" is like selling private salt. Is a pot of hot tea and hot wine still a crime of decapitation? No, they obviously have a pot and a stove. The walls are so blackened that the cold tea is just that. The left and right tea leaves are soaked in water. These steamed buns are not immortal food and cannot be made without firewood." He said, clasping his hands together, he swallowed them in the tea shop just now. The yellow steamed bun he had placed appeared intact in his palm, and the mangy yellow dog next to him actually meowed twice!
This man who looks like a rough country man is actually Xiao Rushi, a survivor of the Xiao family in Qingzhou, Baiyan Kingdom, who has been transformed using immortal magic!
The yellow dog accompanying him was the transformed civet cat that carried him out that day!
Xiao Rushi put her hand on the steamed bun and said to the civet: "I know you also want to know what's going on in Qingzhou as soon as possible, but the two countries are thousands of miles apart, and ordinary people have no idea what's going on. They can only visit the local immortal family. Only then can we know one thing or two. Since we want to visit, we must not understand their rules, be rude and rash, and fail to ask for news, which will only hurt ourselves. "
He learned this the hard way!
On that day, he went down to Qiyun Peak for the first time to go on a mission in the mortal world. The landlord gave him two maids. He thought it was just like the rules on Qiyun Peak, so he returned several gifts, accepted them generously, and went to the mountain for a day. Reporting to my father almost made him angry! Needless to say, he was punished later. Although he had suppressed a lot of anger because of this, he should keep in mind the lessons he received. He should never act rashly. Otherwise, at his age, even if he encountered big changes, how could he Be cautious! His appearance at this time was also the result of careful consideration. His unattractive appearance and coarse clothes could reduce a lot of unnecessary glances. The face of an adult man would attract less attention than that of a young man when buying a hotel or restaurant.
Of course he didn't need to buy a hotel or a hotel. As a direct descendant of a true immortal, his treasures were far beyond what Xiao Ruyun could compare to. However, there were many people in the place where he ate and stayed, so it was the easiest place to get information, so he came down the mountain. He also followed the example of ordinary people living in a hotel, but he couldn't really eat the rough things in the market, so he stored them by transporting them, just like the yellow steamed buns just now.
Not long after, he and the civet walked five miles and got closer to the city. He saw several inns open on the roadside, with buildings and halls. The scale was far greater than the tea shop just now. They picked out a few inns on the street. , each has a certain old inn written on it. It seems that the owners are different, but without exception, they all have an eye without a pupil painted on the top of the cloth. The strangest thing is the signboard of each store, either in gold and clay regular script or in red. The words are written in cursive script, with different styles, but the eyes are the same black with white, which looks a bit oozing under the blue sky and daylight.
What kind of number is this?
Xiao Rushi glanced attentively, walked closer, and happened to see a little boy pouting and carrying many bowls and basins to wash at the well, so he walked forward and started chatting: "Little brother, the top of these guises What is the pattern? What is its origin? "
Seeing that he was a rough man, the young boy exclaimed: "What pattern? This is the talisman of the master who believes in the immortal religion - it scares Ni to death. Each one costs three to five hundred silver, and the whole family has to eat cold food and kneel to pray." , there are many rules, but they are really useful. As long as they are upheld, no matter how domineering the officials or tax collectors are, after seeing the guise of our store, they can only sneak away with their tail between their legs against the wall! "
Xiao Rushi and the civet disguised as a mangy yellow dog nodded in agreement, praising the young man for his culture, and slowly asked that the "immortal religion" was not taught by the local immortal family, but one that appeared not long ago. "Eye Guoxian Cult"!
Xiao Rushi and Civet were shocked when they heard this! They were born and raised in the Kingdom of Hundred Eyes, but among the immortals in the Kingdom of Hundred Eyes, there is no "immortal religion" that has this sneaky reputation!
It's rare for a young guy to get compliments, so he didn't notice that the two of them looked wrong and just kept talking. ()
