Chang An smiled. The door of Zhou Ziheng's medicine shop was closed. Although Uncle Zhang's noodle shop was open, there seemed to be no one there.
He roughly scanned the street. From the street to the end of the street, there was a distance of at least a hundred feet, but there were only about a dozen stores open.
At this moment, the sun was rising, and there were no pedestrians on the street. He really didn't know how he could survive doing business on the street like this.
"Just in time, I'm a little hungry. Do you have anything to eat here?"
Chang An saw two tables set up in front of the restaurant and sat down.
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he was very happy and immediately started to introduce Chang An to Chang An with a dance of joy.
"Young man, you are here. You must try my shop's signature noodles."
Um?
Chang An wondered, isn't this noodles a specialty of Ningchuan Prefecture?
"Uncle, are you from the north?"
Uncle Zhang waved his hand
"Young man, you are really good at joking. I am a native of Youzhou."
Chang An felt even more strange when he said this.
"Okay then, I'll try the signature lo mein."
Uncle Zhang turned around and started busy.
Chang An looked at Uncle Zhang's back and pretended to ask casually
"Uncle Zhang, you must be in your sixties or seventies at your age."
Uncle Zhang's back stopped, and he raised his head slightly, as if he was remembering.
"Oh, if you put it that way, it will be sixty-five this year."
"You don't have a family or anything?"
"Hey, I'm a bachelor. After my parents died, I was all alone."
The corners of Chang An's mouth rose slightly.
"You are already sixty-five, so you should have experienced the era of Youfu."
Uncle Zhang turned around
"You've asked the right person. I'm probably the oldest person in Youzhou City. It was so tragic three years ago. I don't even know how many people died."
"Then how did you survive?"
"Me, hehe, I took off a set of Jianghu people's clothes from those corpses, mingled among the Jianghu people, and survived by luck."
"Then you didn't leave with us?"
"I've lived here all my life, and I can't leave. With this little skill, the adults in Shelou often want to change their tastes, so they come here to do business."
The two chatted incessantly, and Uncle Zhang's noodles were also ready.
Before it was served, Chang An smelled the familiar smell.
"Gulu gulu."
Chang An knew as soon as he tasted it that it was the same as the noodles he had eaten in Ningchuan Prefecture.
"Uncle, are you really making this skill yourself?"
Chang An couldn't help but ask.
"I have eaten this kind of noodles in the north before, but it is their specialty there, so I was quite surprised to eat this kind of noodles in Youzhou."
Uncle Zhang said in shock
"Young man, you have actually been to the north. You must have seen a lot. Yes, you did learn this method of making noodles from others."
Chang An smiled and said nothing.
"Gulu gulu."
The bowl of noodles was quickly eaten. Chang An wiped his mouth with satisfaction and was about to get up and leave.
Uncle Zhang suddenly asked
"By the way, are the Ziheng brothers and sisters staying at your place these two days? Are they okay?"
Chang An paused.
"fine."
After continuing to stroll around the street, Chang An returned to the compound.
"Uncle is back!"
In the front yard, five children were playing. When they saw Chang An coming back, they greeted him together.
After a few days of nursing, these children looked much better.
"Hello, are you happy staying here with your uncle?"
"happy!"
they shouted.
"Hahahaha, brother Chang An, come to the backyard to drink!"
Wan Chaoyang's voice echoed in the courtyard.
When Chang An heard this, he couldn't stop smiling.
"good!"
In the backyard, Zhou Ziheng was feeling Wan Chaoyang's pulse.
"You just recovered, and you're using your internal energy indiscriminately, and you still want to drink?"
Zhou Ziheng rolled his eyes at Wan Chaoyang.
Wan Chaoyang grinned
"Aren't you, the miracle doctor, here?"
Chang An heard this and said doubtfully
"Brother Wan, what's wrong?"
Zhou Ziheng said in a strange way
"This guy ran to the Dragon Tower and had a fight. Now he has lost all his internal strength. When he came back, his face was so pale that he looked like he was about to die."
Chang An smiled, this brother Wan really holds a grudge.
Wan Chaoyang looked indifferent.
"It's so nice to beat those bastards to a pulp. It's really nice to have them hang me up for a few days, but they don't want me to take revenge."
Zhou Ziheng mocked
"I'm just afraid that before the revenge is fully avenged, I'll be exhausted."
Then he slapped Wan Chaoyang on the chest, and Wan Chaoyang grinned in pain.
"Be gentle."
Chang An smiled
"It seems that I can't drink this wine today."
"By the way, what did you find out there? Is it really a plague?"
Wan Chaoyang asked.
After saying this, the smile on Chang An's face disappeared instantly and he shook his head.
"I always feel like someone is plotting something secretly."
"How to say?"
"Brother Wan, don't you think it's strange? First, there was trouble in the Red Emperor City, and many workers died. Within a few days, a plague broke out in the adjacent Baidi City."
Wan Chaoyang held his chin with his left hand, thinking deeply.
"It makes sense, and the laborer who died in the front yard is also weird."
Chang On Road
"I asked the housekeeper about it, and it seems that Shelou is indeed conducting experiments on reincarnation."
Wan Chaoyang analyzed
"First there was a dispute between the old and new schools. Then, Brother Chang An, you destroyed the new school's experiment and kidnapped five children. It seems that the new school's experiment cannot continue."
"Now there is unprovoked chaos in the five cities. It seems that the construction of the five cities has to be stopped."
Hearing this, Chang An suddenly realized
"Brother Wan, you mean that someone is sabotaging the plans of both the old and new factions at the same time."
Wan Chaoyang Road
"It looks like this, and the spearhead of all this ultimately points to the Youzhou Competition, because no matter what, the old and new disputes will have an outcome after the Youzhou Competition."
Wan Chaoyang's words gave Chang An a new idea. No matter how many seemingly unrelated strange things happened recently, it seemed that in the end, they all pointed to the Youzhou Competition.
Feeling the strange looks from Wan Chaoyang and Zhou Ziheng, Chang An felt embarrassed.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Brother Chang An, I think you should go to the competition."
"Um!"
Chang An was startled.
"I'm going to participate in some competition. Besides, the chief steward has already made a deal with Chen Buyi and won't use me to win the competition."
Wan Chaoyang looked at Chang An with a half-smile.
"I'm not talking about you participating in the Youzhou Competition on behalf of the housekeeper, I'm talking about you competing for the position of building owner."
"That makes sense."
Zhou Ziheng also echoed:
"Instead of the two factions fighting to the death, it would be better for you to take the lead directly and everyone should stop playing."
Chang An shook his head like a rattle. Are you kidding? He was living a good life. How could he be the boss of a killer organization?
"Brother Chang An, don't be too hasty to refuse. Think about it, with your leadership, the Twelfth Floor can still return to its original ways. This is a great merit."
Wan Chaoyang continued to persuade Chang An.
Chang An glanced sideways
"Brother Wan, why don't you go? It's not difficult for you to win over the owner of the building."
Wan Chaoyang said modestly
"How can I compare to you, Master Chang? You are highly respected in the world, and your martial arts is also the best in the world. In terms of martial arts and prestige, how can I compare with you?"
July 20, Kunlun.
"woke up!"
"Uncle Master, Sister Sheng is awake!"
Chang Shengmi stared, only to see the girl with a tiger-like head running around in front of her eyes.
No, why does this voice sound so familiar?
"Squeak!"
She heard the door open, and the sound of wind and snow quickly filled the house.
"It's so cold."
Chang Sheng couldn't help shouting.
"Close the door quickly!"
Yan Sihai's voice reached his ears, and Chang Sheng frowned.
"Sheng Wazi."
"Sheng Wazi."
Chang Sheng waved his hand and said irritably
"Why can I still hear your old liar's voice in my dream?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
The girl's laughter came again.
"Boom!"
Chang Sheng suddenly felt a warm palm touching her abdomen.
Then, she felt a majestic vitality circulating along the muscles and veins in her body.
Her eyes shot open.
"Ah!"
With a clear whistle, my mind has never been so clear.
She sat up.
Several pairs of eyes were staring at her.
Mo Bei was sitting beside the bed.
"Brother Mobei."
Mo Bei touched her forehead and felt for her pulse.
"My body is fine."
"Where am I?"
Chang Sheng looked around blankly.
Zhuang Xiuyu jumped to the bed and held her hand.
"Sister Sheng, I am Xiaoyu, and we are in Kunlun."
"Kunlun? Why am I here? Am I not in Penglai?"
Yan Sihai said
"That day you lost your strength and went into shock. We were trapped in Penglai for a long time. Mobei came over and rescued us."
"What about the Saint and the Saint Queen?"
"After rescuing us that day, Mobei placed them in the military camp in Xiangxi Prefecture. Based on the news in the past two days, he is uniting various armies to blockade Penglai."
Chang Sheng asked again
"What about my brother, any news?"
Mobei Road
"He was the one who asked me to go down the mountain to save you."
"My brother is far away in the north, how can he know about the affairs of the capital?"
Yan Sihai took the words and explained
"It's Zhou Xi'er. He found Zhou Xi'er in the north. He followed the clues and discovered that the transportation channel we have been checking actually has two destinations. He guessed that there is another person who has been secretly using the channel opened on the 12th floor. aisle."
Mo Bei continued.
"Just in case, Chang An wrote to me and asked me to go to the capital to look after you. Unfortunately, when I received the letter, something had happened in the capital, so I went a step too late."
Chang Sheng suddenly realized
"As expected, my brother is the smartest."
The corners of Mo Bei's mouth raised slightly and he looked at Zhuang Xiuyu beside the bed.
"He's also very good at taking advantage."
Zhuang Xiuyu looked at Mo Bei pitifully.
"Uncle Master..."
"Come out and practice."
Mo Bei turned around indifferently.
Seeing Mo Bei's indifference, Zhuang Xiuyu turned to look at Chang Sheng and said coquettishly
"Sister Sheng..."
"I promised Chang An that I won't allow you to go down the mountain until you reach the master level. If you want to find Chang An as soon as possible, then be diligent."
Mo Bei's voice came again, and then he moved and disappeared directly into the house.
Yan Sihai narrowed his eyes slightly, with a puzzled look on his face.
"How come this kid can't tell what state he has cultivated to now?"
Chang Shengdao
"Don't you know how to look at bones? Why can't you tell?"
Yan Sihai shook his head
"Looking at the bones, this guy is no different from an ordinary person. He can even be described as having no strength to tie a chicken with his hands. But through my observations these days, I can see that this guy has a charm that is different from other people."
"I can only say that it is unfathomable."
