Early the next morning, a young couple came to Liangjie Town.
According to the two men themselves, they were persecuted by bullies in the Tang Dynasty and had no choice but to escape here.
The two found the mayor, took out the only ten taels of silver they had and asked him to allow them to live in the town.
Seeing that the two were pitiful, the mayor couldn't bear to refuse, and finally placed them in an extremely dilapidated yard in the north of the town that had been idle for many years.
Afterwards, the mayor returned the money to the two men and asked them to use the money to start a small business to make ends meet.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the reputation of the young couple had spread throughout Liangjie Town, because they brought a delicacy that no one in the town had ever heard of - barbecue!
Whether it is meat or vegetables, put them on bamboo skewers and grill them back and forth over the charcoal fire.
During this process, sprinkle some condiments from time to time, and an irresistible aroma will come out.
According to common people's words, even gods can't resist such delicious food.
After the sun sets, people who have been busy all day gather with friends, order some barbecue, and chat over a jar of old wine, which has a unique flavor.
A month later, the young couple's stall had quadrupled in size, but customers still had to wait in line.
During this period, some people also secretly learned from the two of them, but the barbecue they made never tasted like theirs.
What's more, some people took advantage of their family's influence and asked the young couple face to face for the so-called secret barbecue recipe.
Unexpectedly, instead of refusing, the young man generously gave all the condiments to the visitor.
Although the barbecue tastes much better than other restaurants with the condiments given by the guy, it is still far from what the guy made by himself.
Fortunately, there are only two of them, and even if they have three heads and six arms, they can't entertain too many guests.
Many people did not want to wait, so they could only turn their attention to other stalls, so that latecomers would not be left in the cold.
When everyone becomes accustomed to eating barbecue, the town of Two Realms finally becomes more lively after dark than during the day.
Among the barbecue stalls, the business of the young couple is still booming because their food tastes the best.
However, the two of them are not greedy and will close the stall every time, even if the business is booming.
After closing the stall that day, as soon as the two returned to the living room, the woman complained: "Do you really want to be a businessman?"
The man smiled: "Do you think it's better to do this or practice?"
Seeing that the woman was silent, the man lay down on the chair and said, "This is the life of ordinary people. There is a trace of tranquility among the noise, and there is a trace of comfort among the fatigue."
Of course, the young couple are Xue Tianqing and Qingyue. They originally thought that making some snacks would not attract attention, but who would have thought that they would go through such a fuss.
Qingyue walked around the room twice: "No, this is too ostentatious. How about we do something else?"
Xue Tianqing smiled and said: "As things stand now, we must either keep doing it or leave Two Realms Town. Our business is the best. If we suddenly stop doing it, others will be suspicious."
After a while, Xue Tianqing said: "How about we go to Datang? I don't believe we can't wait for Jin Chanzi there."
Qingyue shook her head: "No, the Patriarch has ordered that you must wait for Jin Chanzi in Two Realms Town."
Xue Tianqing said in confusion: "Since there is only one road from Datang to here, why do we have to wait here? Can't we go to Datang?"
"This is the decree of the ancestor. I have to watch you and Jin Chanzi go west in Two Realms Town before I can return to the mountain to recover."
"Master, why don't you tell me these things instead of you? I am her disciple, okay!"
"Because you have been expelled from the division." Qingyue's answer was very straightforward.
Xue Tianqing was about to retort, but she heard a knock on the door, and then a loud voice shouted: "Shopkeeper, I just came back, and I have to travel far tomorrow. For the sake of the folks, can you make a barbecue for us?" ?”
Qingyue frowned and said: "Why did they come back? Didn't it say that the white fox spirit had burned the manor to the ground?"
Xue Tianqing scratched her head and said, "I don't know either. I saw the fire that day with my own eyes. Why don't you give me a reception and ask what's going on?"
As early as the third day after arriving in Liangjie Town, Xue Tianqing returned to Xuchuan's courtyard.
Because most of the Nuwa Stones have been taken away, and the White Fox Spirit has also withdrawn its magic of transformation, all of the current manor can be seen from the air.
In the distance, on a clear snowy day, I could see thick smoke billowing from the huge manor house and flames reaching into the sky.
On the path to the south, Qiu Ding was struggling forward with twice as many carriages and horses as when he came.
Apart from the thick smoke and fire, nothing was left in the courtyard, and Xu Chuan and his servants were nowhere to be found.
The underground fairy palace has been completely sealed, and it seems that the white fox spirit is preparing to return to the world in thirty years.
After Qiu Ding left, Xue Tianqing used magic power to erase the traces of the village's courtyard, and at the same time completely blocked the two paths leading to the village's courtyard.
During this period, a strange breath came from the ground. Although there was no sound, Xue Tianqing knew that it was the white fox spirit's gratitude.
After returning to Liangjie Town, as the barbecue business became more and more popular, Xue Tianqing put the Qiu Ding incident behind him.
I thought he had come back a long time ago, but who knew that the group had just returned to the town now, and it was still midnight.
Xujiazhuang Courtyard is only three hundred miles away from the town. Even if they go slowly, ten days is enough. How come they have to leave for more than a month?
Seeing Xue Tianqing's confused look, Qingyue said, "If I ask, everything will be clear."
Qiu Ding had indeed just returned to Liangjie Town, because even the guys accompanying him were the same ones.
Although he was considered a rich man, Qiu Ding didn't look like an outsider at all.
Not only did he say sorry, but he also helped arrange the tables and chairs himself.
After the roast mutton was served, and as soon as he took the first bite, Qiu Ding said loudly: "It's good, and it's worth their recommendation! The shopkeeper, all the food and drinks will be counted as double, just consider it as compensation for our intrusion."
After that, he said to the waiter: "I can't believe that after a long trip, my home has become like this."
One of the waiters said: "Sir, it's better not to travel far away like this in the future. I feel scared just thinking about it."
Qiu Ding smiled and said: "What's there to be afraid of? No matter whether it's a human being or a monster, everyone has to eat. As long as the public buys and sells, who do you do business with?"
"Shopkeeper, have you known for a long time that there is something strange in this family?"
Qiu Ding nodded: "Absolutely. It has been more than ten years. Xu Chuan's appearance has not changed at all. There must be something weird in it. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Now the villa no longer exists. It is a pity to think about it."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Xue Tianqing and Qingyue looked at each other, and then came to Qiu Ding with a jar of wine.
"It turns out that you are Mr. Qiu. I thought you were a guest on the way. I just heard that you once did business with monsters. Is it true? I thought that monsters were just legends."
Qiu Ding smiled and said: "My brother is still young and has never seen the world. Let me tell you, there are not only monsters in this world, but also many."
Seeing the fear on Xue Tianqing's face, Qiu Ding said with a smile: "Brother, don't be afraid. Monsters are just like people. As long as you treat them well, they will treat you well. I have been doing business with monsters for more than ten years, and I have not escaped unscathed." .”
Seeing Xue Tianqing's expression of doubt, Qiu Ding continued: "This matter started more than ten years ago. At that time, someone came to my store to buy every other month, and the quantity was extremely large. Later I told him , if possible, there is no need for him to come to the door, I will personally deliver what they need."
According to Qiu Ding, in the first few years when he started delivering goods, he had no doubts. He only thought that Xu Chuan and the others were a wealthy family who escaped from the world.
But seven or eight years later, Qiu Ding finally became suspicious when he saw that the appearance of Xu Chuan and several familiar servants had not changed at all.
A few years later, Qiu Ding, who had been ravaged by time and transformed into another person, finally determined that Xu Chuan was definitely not a human being.
In today's world, the only people with eternal beauty are monsters and gods.
Where are the gods in this world of mortals? Since he is not a god, the only possibility is that he is a monster.
When the matter was first confirmed, Qiu Ding was somewhat concerned, but thinking that the other party had not had any ill intentions for so many years, he worried about it again.
What's more, Qiu Ding once secretly tested Xu Chuan and asked him if he could make himself as young as him, but the answer disappointed him.
Xu Chuan told Qiu Ding that the only way to live a long and even immortal life as a mortal was to become a disciple and practice.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ding immediately gave up the idea of immortality and concentrated on his own business.
Not to mention whether he can find the legendary Immortal Cave, even the pain of Qing Xiu is not something Qiu Ding can bear. Now he can no longer do without the sensuality in the world of mortals.
Originally, Qiu Ding had given up on this idea, but the appearance of Xue Tianqing a few days ago gave him hope again.
He single-handedly defeated Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun twice. This is a true immortal!
However, Qiu Ding also understood that if Xue Tianqing offended Yang Jian, he would offend Heaven. This matter might not be settled easily, so he was not in a hurry to come.
Sure enough, just after Yang Jian and his men were defeated, Xue Tianqing and his two men left Liangjie Town because they were afraid of injuring the people.
Although he felt a little pity, when he saw the heavenly soldiers and generals arriving later, Qiu Ding felt a little relieved and felt that there was nothing wrong with being a mortal who was drunk and dreaming.
Having just put aside his thoughts about longevity, who would have thought that this time when he went to Xu's house, he would meet Xue Tianqing, who was staying there temporarily, and Qiu Ding's thoughts came to life again.
When he became a disciple of Qiu Ding, he never thought, nor dared to think, that he would be satisfied if he could learn a few life-extending techniques from the two of them.
Thinking that Xue Tianqing and the others had settled in Two Realms Town, and that he and Qingyue were familiar, Qiu Ding felt that there was some hope in this matter.
After making the plan, Qiu Ding couldn't sleep all night, so he prepared to go to Xue Tianqing to greet Xue Tianqing early the next morning.
Only halfway through the journey, Qiu Ding was informed by Xu Zhai's servants that Xue Tianqing and the others had left without saying goodbye.
When he heard that Xue Tianqing had left, Qiu Ding lost interest in staying and planned to deliver the goods as soon as possible and then return to Liangjie Town.
Unexpectedly, just after breakfast, Xu Chuan sent someone to invite him, saying that he had something important to discuss.
When he arrived at the hall, he saw the servants of the Xu family cleaning up the belongings.
Seeing Qiu Ding's confused look, Xu Chuan explained that someone came from his hometown last night and said that something big happened at home and that he must leave for his hometown immediately.
Qiu Ding has been struggling in the human world for decades and has already become a human spirit.
Upon hearing this, and the fact that Xue Tianqing left overnight, he knew something was wrong.
Despite this, Qiu Ding not only did not point it out, but asked Xu Chuan if he needed help.
Xu Chuan said it was not necessary, and only said that the manor house would be abandoned after he left, so Qiu Ding could just take whatever he liked.
Xu Chuan's generosity was beyond Qiu Ding's expectation. When he saw that the other party was sincere, he immediately took out his only three thousand taels of silver notes and sent someone to move the things.
Xu Chuan has been operating here for hundreds of years since the emergence of spiritual wisdom, and his home has countless jewelry and antiques.
When Qiu Ding came, he only had twelve large carts, which could not hold so many things.
Xu Chuan gave all his carriages and horses to Qiu Ding, and then reluctantly packed all the valuable items.
Qiu Ding bowed his hands and said goodbye to Xu Chuan. Less than five miles away with his carriage and horses, a fire broke out in the courtyard.
Looking at the thick smoke billowing in the mountains, Qiu Ding understood that Xu's house had disappeared, so he sighed and ordered his men to go to the nearest city.
