Speaking of this, Shen Mingyu set off before dawn, and as he walked, he involuntarily sneezed by the roadside in a clump of weeds. Rubbing his itchy nose, Shen Mingyu bypassed the thicket and finally reached the official road, seemingly near a small town at the foot of the mountain. The closest place here is Shuzhou, which is neither big nor small, but quite popular among the people of the immortal sect. Shuzhou is not particularly eye-catching, but if there's anything worth mentioning, it's the food. After all, half of the eight famous chefs in the world come from here, so the food here is the most delicious and welcoming. There are also many dishes with spiritual power, which are beneficial to eat. Thinking of the geographical records of Shuzhou, Shen Mingyu felt excited and determined to have a good meal this time.
Looking at both sides, Shen Mingyu felt a bit of a headache. He couldn't remember the way, even though he had read the geographical records of Shuzhou many times. This time, he forgot to bring it. Usually, when reading, his attention was focused on the food illustrations, so how could he remember the way?
Shen Mingyu picked up a tree branch and silently said to himself, "I'll rely on you to go that way." Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and Shen Mingyu threw the branch out. It landed perfectly in the ground in front of a small white rabbit nestled in the grass, burying it a third of the way into the ground.
The little rabbit didn't have time to hide and was startled, then ran in a certain direction.
Looking at the direction the rabbit ran, Shen Mingyu was a bit dumbfounded. Isn't that the direction he came from?
How do I go now!
Little rabbit, you really can't lead the way! Fortunately, the dilemma didn't last long. A team of people and horses appeared faintly on the official road, with the carriage filled with goods, looking like a convoy. Shen Mingyu casually greeted them and found out they were all heading to Licheng, so he explained his intentions. The leader of the group was also cheerful and, seeing Shen Mingyu dressed like a person from the jianghu, seemed like a righteous gentleman, and agreed to let Shen Mingyu sit at the back of the carriage.
Sitting at the back of the carriage, the scenery along the way kept getting farther and farther until it disappeared on the horizon. Accompanied by the sound of the carriage wheels and the swaying frequency, Shen Mingyu, who was sitting in a carriage for the first time in his life, leaned against the package behind him, enjoying the warm sunlight, and unknowingly closed his eyes.
"We have arrived, sir."
The leader looked at the still-closed eyes of Shen Mingyu and called out to him. It was only then that Shen Mingyu realized that he had also fallen asleep at some point, perhaps because the carriage was too comfortable.
"Thank you, brother." Shen Mingyu jumped off the carriage and extended a hand in a gesture of thanks.
"No problem, just passing by. We've arrived in Shuzhou, so let's part ways here." With that, he waved and headed off with his goods, disappearing around the corner at the intersection.
Shen Mingyu glanced at the carriage, then turned around and caught a whiff of a strong fragrance. Following the scent, he arrived at a steamed bun stand.
So this is where the fragrance comes from.
"Sir, three cents each, how many would you like?"
Shen Mingyu stared at the steamed buns and said, "Ten."
As soon as the person heard it, he quickly wrapped it up, "That will be a total of thirty coins, sir."
Shen Mingyu then realized that this place was different from the canteen in the mountains; they required money. Although his senior sister had given him some money, Shen Mingyu didn't know how much thirty coins was.
The number thirty coins sounded like a lot, so it was probably not cheap.
Shen Mingyu took out a gold ingot from his pocket and calmly placed it on the table, saying, "See if this is enough."
The man was a little stunned, then said, "It's... it's enough." His face then showed some hesitation, "But I don't have change for this!"
Shen Mingyu replied calmly, "Then use it to buy as many buns as it can."
Upon hearing this, the person's face became even more troubled, "This could probably buy three or four days' worth of buns!"
Shen Mingyu smiled and said, "Oh, I see."
After a while, people saw a man sitting at a stall, in front of him was a table full of food, and a bowl as tall as a person's knee. They saw the man still eating, the bowl still filling, and the man, though handsome, ate like a wild beast.
The people around formed a circle, watching in amazement at how someone could eat so much.
"Here you go, this is the candied hawthorn you wanted," said the stall owner, who had just been sent by Shen Mingyu to buy various snacks from different vendors, as a way to offset the errand fee.
Watching the man squeeze through the crowd, sweat dripping down his face, Shen Mingyu said, "Alright, you can close up shop now."
Shen Mingyu took the candied hawthorn from the person's hand, then tightly held five strings of candied hawthorn in the right hand, protecting them close to the chest, and avoiding the crowd. The person behind finally let out a sigh, looking at the stack of snail-folded tall bowls on the table, feeling amazed in their heart, this person can really eat, but I'm afraid ordinary people can't afford to feed them!
Shen Mingyu continued to walk and thought about how to start eating, should I eat them one by one?
Shen Mingyu walked on the street, attracting attention wherever he went. He had five strings of candied haws in his right hand, with the top piece of each string already eaten. He continued to eat them one by one, with each piece being devoured as soon as the previous one was finished. The children, envious of his ability to eat five strings of candied haws at once, began to pester their parents, demanding not just five, but ten strings to eat. As Shen Mingyu was about to eat the last two pieces, the candied haws in his hand suddenly disappeared before he could react. It all happened in the blink of an eye.
Two darts fell from the house pillar behind me, each adorned with a bright red bead, which upon closer inspection turned out to be a candied hawthorn fruit that Shen Mingyu hadn't had a chance to eat yet. Shen Mingyu stared at the two red candied hawthorn fruits, thinking to himself that if they hadn't fallen to the ground, they were still edible. Just as he was about to reach for them, the two darts seemed to fly out as if triggered by something.
Following the trajectory of the two darts, Shen Mingyu saw them fly into the opposite second floor. Outside the window, there was a flash of blades and swords, and the two darts continued to flicker, as did the two red sweet beads, shining brightly.
Eyes can only see and not eat. In a moment of urgency, Shen Mingyu lightly exerted force under his feet and jumped into the window. Amidst the chaos, Shen Mingyu reached out and grabbed the two flashing darts in the air, then decisively pulled out the two red beads and directly stuffed them into his mouth, cheeks bulging as he continued to chew. The people who were fighting were shocked and stopped one after another, looking at this suddenly intruding person who was still chewing on food.
"Don't eat." Luo Hongling Just as this person casually took my treasured weapon, I was shocked and hadn't recovered yet. Who knew this person would directly take the two candied haws from the ice sleeves and stuff them into their mouth, shocking me once again. Before I could tell this person that my weapon was poisoned, I saw them directly put it in their mouth. Sure enough, Shen Mingyu had barely chewed a few bites before there was a loud "thud," and the whole person fell straight back to the ground, lying stiff.
At the moment of closing his eyes, Shen Mingyu only felt that one of his eyes was blurred by a red color, and the person slowly walked towards him. Before he could see the person's face clearly, Shen Mingyu couldn't help but close his heavy eyelids.
