Talk about the world of mortals in detail
Chapter 544 Gains and losses
At this time, the wonton stall had also been packed up. The stall owner rolled up the tarpaulin, arranged the bamboo poles, put the simple tables and chairs on the shelves, and then pushed the cabinet cart and started moving.
This means that today's busy work is over. Go home now and get two hours of sleep before you have to work early!
That is to say, the stall owner is now considered to be in his prime, and he can push this heavy cart.
At this time, the time has come, and Xintian County has already become quiet. The lights in every house have been extinguished. Except for the lanterns in some places, the streets have also become dark.
A lantern on the front of the cabinet truck illuminated the stall owner's way home, and the "gurgling" sound of the rolling wheels seemed to be the last movement on the street.
On the contrary, the pots and stoves on the cabinet cart were still steaming hot during this process, which is where the smoke and fire in this world is rich.
Not long after, Shi Sheng and Qi Zhongbin flew over Xintian County in the sky. Scanning below, the streets were already quiet. The wonton stall they had just stayed on had also closed down and left.
The two of them just rowed through the city and looked at the land in all directions. There was the city below, there were mountains in the distance, there were swamps everywhere where the drought relief canal passed, and there were even fields with fragrant soil everywhere.
"Gone?"
Qi Zhongbin was confused in the sky, and Shi Sheng frowned.
"It's impossible. No matter how fast it is, it can't get rid of us in the blink of an eye after being hit by the Qiankun Circle. With such speed, we don't have to work in the middle of the night."
Qi Zhongbin nodded.
"What the senior brother said is absolutely true, but it must not be flying anymore. The elixir is a shortcut. It cannot be calculated or touched. Even the elixir energy has disappeared now."
"This is the strange thing. When the star power spreads, when the peripheral star power is exhausted, the elixir energy should overflow, but you can't smell it!"
Shi Sheng looked very distressed. He had seen this "star" for many years, but he didn't expect to miss it tonight!
"Senior Hui, do you know the whereabouts of the elixir?"
Shi Sheng looked up at Hui Mian, who was lying on his head, and the latter yawned.
"If you can't find it, it means it's not yours, and I didn't see it either!"
Hui Mian really didn't see that the magic power of the demon body at this moment has already reached its current bottleneck, so in terms of Taoism, it is actually not as good as Shi Sheng and Qi Zhongbin at this moment.
But just because you didn't see it, you didn't see it. It doesn't mean that Hui Mian really has no idea where the elixir is.
“I want to eat the wontons from this restaurant, it’s not satisfying at all!”
Hui Mian suddenly said this, and Shi Sheng had no choice but to say helplessly.
"But Senior Hui, the stall has been closed, and he won't be out again until early tomorrow morning. Then he can just have breakfast at my house. I'm sure he will eat more food than at this wonton stall."
Hui Mian sat up from Shi Sheng's head.
"That's different. Your breakfast doesn't have the wontons at this stall."
Qi Zhongbin and Shi Sheng laughed.
"Senior Hui, are you being unreasonable, or..."
Halfway through the words, Shi Sheng and Qi Zhongbin had something in their minds. The brothers couldn't help but look at each other, thinking of the ambiguous attitude of Senior Hui in front of the stall just now. Maybe there was something different about this stall owner.
——
However, Shi Sheng, Qi Zhongbin and Hui Mian were dazzled by the brilliance of the star power and failed to see clearly the light of the elixir revealed behind them, but it does not mean that no one saw it clearly.
At least two pairs of eyes in the distant mountains could clearly see the flash of red light.
In this case, the two fairy lights on the horizon disappeared one after another, and no one could help it.
The fish in the mountain pool is now flying into a large water channel in the mist, and is traveling quickly along the "Chu Canal" that extends in all directions. It wants to rush to Xintian County at the fastest speed.
At the same time, after the fish swam away, the soil on a mound in the mountain collapsed, and amidst the movement of dust, a giant figure slowly crawled out.
This thing has four legs, a short tail, a carapace on its back, and a skirt. It turns out to be a large turtle.
As the giant turtle climbed out of the mound, it was as if water had gathered in the soil and kept overflowing. The color of the water quickly changed from turbid to clear. It was an underground spring, and the giant turtle rode the water gathered by the spring all the way down the mountain. It is also getting smaller and smaller.
The elixir, the elixir!
As long as I take the elixir, I won't die!
As long as I take the elixir, I can make great progress, maybe I can successfully transform into another form, or even go further!
Many turtles are heterogeneous species, and this one is no exception. It has a relatively long lifespan, but it is often more difficult to cultivate such heterogeneous species.
This turtle is also walking in the drought-resistant canal.
At this moment, the Xingluo elixir that everyone was looking for was still hidden in the raw wonton.
As the saying goes, success is also a result of fireworks, and failure is also a result of fireworks. Everyone patronizes the wonton stall on the street, which is one of the representatives of fireworks in the world. He even took this opportunity and added the specialness of Dao Dan to successfully escape the eyes of the two immortal cultivators.
But because of the strong smoke from the wonton stall, the pot in the cupboard was still steaming when we got home.
The pyrotechnics seemed to have trapped the elixir, as if drunk and dazed. It was more likely that the effect of the attack on the Qiankun Circle was inside. At that time, I used the star power to escape, but now it is slowly "coming up". The warmth The feeling of thick smoke in the heat is even a bit like being in a former alchemy furnace.
At the wonton stall owner's home, the cupboard cart gradually cooled down, and the wontons that were not sold out at night were temporarily placed here.
There was a burst of light in the house, and then it went out quickly. The stall owner, who had worked hard all day, had already fallen asleep. It turned out that although he was diligent, he had not married yet. His parents were not around, so he was alone at home.
After the lights were turned off in this house, Shi Sheng and Qi Zhongbin had already arrived at this residential area and outside the courtyard of the wonton stall owner's house.
Qi Zhongbin looked at the courtyard of this house and saw many black things in the dustpan in the corner of the courtyard. Shi Sheng also followed his line of sight and frowned immediately.
"Hair? He's obviously a wonton seller, so why does he have so much hair? Besides, his body and skin are affected by his parents, so who would cut so much hair?"
Qi Zhongbin had already reacted and couldn't help but look at Shi Sheng's head.
"This is the stall owner's hair."
"The stall owner's?"
Shi Sheng was confused. He only came to Lingdong later that year. He didn't understand many things as Qi Zhongbin had always been there, so he hadn't reacted at this moment, and Hui Mian on his head was already grinning.
"Boy Qi seems to understand, because this stall owner is one of the seventy-two ghosts with long hair!"
"The long-haired ghost! It turns out he has been reincarnated!"
Shi Sheng subconsciously looked up at the sky, and then turned his gaze from the sky back to the top of his head, while Hui Mian smiled and flicked his tail.
"good!"
As soon as he said this, Shi Sheng understood immediately.
There are thirty-six Tiangang ghosts and seventy-two Earthly Demon ghosts in the Demon-Fuming Palace of Emperor Fumo-Fu in the far north. They are also under the jurisdiction of the Great God Yunlai, so Senior Hui quickly understood who the stall owner was as soon as he saw him.
"Although the long-haired ghost has been reincarnated, his hair tends to grow wildly when he is born, reaching up to his heels. Therefore, although his body and skin are influenced by his parents, he still trims them frequently."
"I see, but since the long-haired ghost is here, where is Zhou Youzhi?"
Zhou Youzhi, formerly known as Zhou Lin, is the child who was almost killed by the long-haired ghost at the beginning of that year. He is also the "creditor" of the long-haired ghost. Whether the long-haired ghost can return to the seventy-two ghosts depends on him.
After Shi Sheng asked this question, he actually already knew the answer. Zhou Youzhi is still alive.
The stars in the sky flow, and time gradually passes.
"Oh oh oh~~~"
It was still dark, the rooster crowed, and the wonton stall owner was still asleep, but after a while, he got up on time.
Clean up your personal hygiene, check your hair, wrap it up, wash and tidy yourself up, and then start preparing to go out.
The first thing is to clean up the mess from last night’s stall, wash the pots and dishes, wash the kitchen utensils, clear away the ashes, and then knead the noodles and fillings.
When everything was ready, it was already dawn. The man lit a fire and boiled water in the stove of the cupboard truck. Not long after, the water boiled.
The leftover wontons from last night were thrown directly into the pot by the man. Not long after, a strange aroma wafted out of the pot.
"hiss"
The man took a breath of the aroma and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Today's first pot of wontons tasted so good!
But when the man finished cooking the wontons, he went out and opened the courtyard door and looked into the residential square. On the other side of a small river in the square, an old man had come out with his arms around his body.
Shi Sheng and Qi Zhongbin were sitting on a roof at the moment. Looking at the old man, they both understood immediately.
"Zhou Youzhi!"
Because what happened back then, Zhou Youzhi's body suffered a lot after all. Even though he seemed to be no different from ordinary people after proper treatment, as he got older, he now looked older than his age.
He is in his fifties at most, and looks like he is eighty or ninety.
"Uncle Zhou—I'll send you a bowl of wontons—"
The old man looked here and coughed a few times in response.
"Don't bother."
Although the sound was not loud, the man here seemed to hear it very clearly.
"It's okay - I'll be fine soon -"
The old man over there looked at the man on the other side of the river and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He had been lonely all his life, but when he got old, there was someone who was as filial to him as his own son.
"I can just go and get it myself."
The old man's voice was not loud, and he knew that others might not be able to hear him clearly, so he walked over there.
At this moment, the man had returned to the stove, took a bowl and started serving wontons. He separated two bowls, one for himself and one for the old man.
A handful of chopped green onions were thrown into the bowl. The man couldn't help but smell it, oh, it smells so good.
"Hey, Uncle Zhou will definitely like to eat today!"
After muttering, the man took the spoon and put it in the bowl, then hurried out with the bowl in hand. However, he saw that the old man had already climbed onto the stone bridge of the river. The man was startled and he quickly quickened his pace.
"Uncle Zhou, I'll just come -"
Soon the man rushed to the bridge, but because he rushed too fast, the wonton soup spilled onto his hand.
"hiss"
The man couldn't help but place the bowl on the bridge railing, shaking his hands in pain, and the old man suddenly became concerned.
"Oh, are you burned?"
"Uh, it's okay, Uncle Zhou, today's wontons are delicious! Eat them quickly, I'm afraid I can't help but finish them all!"
The old man smelled the wontons, and it was indeed so fragrant that his index fingers twitched. However, the scent was combined with the scent of green onions and was limited to the surroundings of the two of them.
"Oh, stop taking care of me, it will delay your marriage."
"Don't say that, Uncle Zhou. When I was a child, my parents almost abandoned me because I was born with crazy hair. It was you who tried to persuade me. Later, when I was no longer welcome at home, it was you who always helped me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have grown up. Isn't this a favor?" How should I behave? Even now, many people in my neighborhood think that I am ominous."
The man said it sincerely, then thought of something and quickly looked away.
"Come on, Uncle Zhou, eat it while it's hot."
"Okay, then I'll eat here."
"Oh, let me bring you a stool!"
The man hurried back, and the old man sighed, picked up the wonton bowl, blew on it and ate a wonton. He immediately felt refreshed. It tasted really good!
In the small river under the bridge, a fisherman who also got up early was arranging steel forks and fishing gear in his hands. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the scene on the bridge.
Both of them are good people, but it's a pity that neither of them is what they want. Why don't you find a marriage for Liu Changfa yourself? This man also knows how to repay his kindness, and he should remember it in his heart.
At this time, the old man on the bridge had already scooped up a bulging wonton and brought it to his mouth. He had just bitten it, and a rich fragrance was already spreading.
The elixir! It's here!
Shi Sheng and Qi Zhongbin were both shocked, it seemed that it should be his!
At this moment, under the bridge, there was suddenly a black shadow in the water.
"Boom~"
A certain black figure hit the bridge pillar hard. The old man on the bridge suddenly became unsteady and the wontons in his hand fell out.
The monster is so brave!
Shi Sheng and Qi Zhongbin didn't notice the monster under the bridge for a while. Perhaps it was because the monster was entangled with the elixir and was confused, but its appearance at this moment made Shi Sheng angry.
The Qiankun Circle in his hand flashed away in an instant, directly hitting the black shadow.
"Bang~"
At this moment, a white light suddenly appeared in another stream of water, and a fish soared into the sky, like a carp jumping over a dragon's gate, and opened its mouth to bite the wonton.
The speed was so fast that even Shi Sheng and Qi Zhongbin were taken aback. It was obvious that he had used a special method.
At this moment, Yu'er looked up and saw the shocked old man holding the railing and looking under the bridge.
At this moment, the figure of the child beside the ditch seemed to overlap with that of the old man.
It's him! ? Zhou Youzhi! I will repay you!
With this thought in his mind, the fish fell into the water with a "plop". Falling with the fish was a turtle on the other side of the bridge that was circled by the universe.
Huh~
A cold light flashed, and a harpoon was directly inserted into the turtle that fell into the water. The monster whose door was broken by the Qiankun Circle was actually penetrated directly by the fisherman's harpoon.
"Hahahahaha what a big turtle!"
The fisherman's excited voice sounded.
