Chapter 896: Revisiting the Old Place
After leaving Canglang City, Zhou Cheng was not in a hurry to go to Western Qin, after all, there was still a month before the Dark Emperor's Relic Mansion would appear, and before that, the Dark Emperor's Relic Mansion would be floating in the turbulence of time and space, and there was no need to worry about Chu Li escaping.
Therefore, Zhou Cheng's itinerary was not fast, and after two or three days of stop-and-go, he came to a big city near the edge of the water, Ming Xuancheng, where he planned to take the waterway and take a boat to Western Qin.
This is not the first time Zhou Cheng has come to Mingxuan City, but the last time he came was seven years ago, when he was just a fledgling strength refiner, and he didn't even have a nickname for the exit, and now he has become the world-famous "No. 1 in the ages".
It was when he traveled to this city that he understood the sinister and bloody rivers and lakes, and it was precisely because of this city that he met Shen Die's family by chance, and he also got a "treasure box that can open the Xuantho Earth" that can prove the Divine Monarch in one step.
Now the old place is revisited, but there is also a different taste, seven years in the past Ming Xuan City layout has not changed much, but the road has been renovated, there are a few people who were originally small houses have become deep house compounds, there are also some of the original large families suffered from the decline, quite a sense of right and wrong.
However, Zhou Cheng did not have any familiar people in this Mingxuan City, and this feeling was a momentary emotion, not deep.
Ming Xuancheng is close to Cangshui, the air is humid, there is often a light rain, today happened to meet the rainy day, the rain is not big, just like a cow's hair, dripping down, Zhou Cheng ignored the light rain, walked through the wet road, and came to a restaurant that he had been to.
Seven years ago, this restaurant was still a restaurant specializing in selling special snacks, the scale was not large, but it attracted many diners with its special flavor, and the business was quite prosperous, but that's all.
Now this restaurant has become a seven-storey point, carved cornices, so exquisite, the area has been expanded three times, it should be bought some of the storefronts on the side. If it weren't for the restaurant's plaque still saying 'Duwei Building', Zhou Cheng almost thought that he had made a mistake.
"The guest officer, please!" Xiao Er's voice greeting the guests sounded, Zhou Cheng looked over, and saw a twenty-something shopkeeper coming out with an umbrella to cover Zhou Cheng from the rain, and then said enthusiastically: "It's raining outside, please come in quickly." ”
"You're very thoughtful in this restaurant. Zhou Cheng smiled, praised the service attitude of Xiao Er in this store, and casually rewarded Xiao Er with a piece of broken silver, and said with a smile: "Take it, reward you." ”
This piece of broken silver weighs about three taels, which is indeed a huge amount of money for an ordinary shopkeeper, but it is not enough to summon calamity, and it is just the right amount.
Therefore, Xiao Er did not refuse Zhou Cheng's reward, and said with great gratitude: "Thank you to the guest officer, thank you to the guest officer!"
After Zhou Cheng walked into the restaurant with Xiao Er, he didn't go to the top floor, he found a vacant seat in the lobby and sat down, Zhou Cheng looked around and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there are so many guests in this weather, and the business is very good." ”
Xiao Er said: "The guest officer doesn't know, today is the day when the latest Yinghua List and the Three Lists of Heaven, Earth and People are announced, and our Duwei Building is also a place to post a list, so people come to the restaurant to join in the fun." ”
I didn't expect that the location of this list still has an advertising effect, should I charge some advertising fees?" Zhou Cheng's mind diverged endlessly, but on the surface, he still said quietly: "I see." ”
Xiao Er took out the menu and put it on Zhou Cheng's table, and asked respectfully, "What does the guest officer want to eat?"
Zhou Cheng looked at the menu and ordered a few special dishes at random, and said, "That's all, I've been here a few years ago, but I'm a little nostalgic." ”
"It turned out to be the old man of the restaurant, please wait a while, and the food will come soon. Xiao Er took the menu and hurriedly sent it to the kitchen.
While waiting for the dishes, Zhou Cheng exuded his divine sense and looked at the guests in the lobby of the restaurant, and found that most of them were mortals who had not cultivated, but there were also some young refiners in the spirit stage, and even in the heroic stage, and a few of them were in high spirits, as if they were looking forward to something, maybe some amazing achievements, to be able to make it to the Yinghua list.
The rivers and lakes are still the same rivers and lakes, but the younger generation has changed their appearance, the pride of the sky on the Yinghua list in the past, I don't know how many people still maintain the limelight of the past, and how many are silent, and they are not everyone.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the times have changed. For Zhou Cheng, the days of the heroic and heroic list have gradually gone away.
"Why did you suddenly sigh with emotion?" Zhou Cheng sighed lightly in his heart and thought, "I'm still quite young when I calculate my age, why do I suddenly look like an old man?"
The chef of Duwei Lou was as good as he was seven years ago, and the delicious dishes were quickly served, and Zhou Cheng was about to enjoy them, but two acquaintances appeared in his senses.
The shopkeeper welcomed in two new customers, these were two young nuns, one older and one younger, the older one looked to be in his thirties, with a gentle and beautiful appearance, dressed in a blue monk's robe, which made people feel calm when they saw it.
The young one looks only in his twenties, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, skin like snow, a little cinnabar between his eyebrows, indescribably pure and beautiful, wearing a moon-white robe, walking like a bright moonlight illuminating the world.
After the little nun came to the restaurant, she looked around, and finally her eyes stopped on Zhou Cheng's body, she ran over happily, sat down opposite Zhou Cheng, and said with a smile: "Hey, Qingyuan little donor, we meet again." ”
"I've seen Master Zhan Hui. Zhou Cheng laughed, then got up and bowed to the nun behind Zhan Hui: "I've seen Master Qingluo." ”
The person who came was none other than Qingluo Shitai, the true master of Tianyue Nunnery, and her disciple Zhan Hui.
......
At the same time, in a large mansion in the north of Ming Xuancheng, this is the residence of the former county guard, although Daqi does not allow the county guard to be re-elected, nor does it allow the county guard to continue to stay in the county town where he originally served after leaving office, but the mansion is allowed to be retained.
A few days ago, Zhang Gan, the county guard who had been out of office for several years, and now the governor of Jiangbei, returned to the little master, making the deserted mansion lively again.
At this time, Zhang Qian was fiddling with a token in the room, his eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something, and a respectful voice sounded outside the door: "My lord, Zhou Qingyuan has come to Mingxuan City." ”
"Zhou Qingyuan......" Zhang Qian's movements in his hand paused slightly, put the token on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Okay, the official knows, step down." ”
"Yes, sir. The figure outside the door disappeared in an instant.
"Zhou Qingyuan, open the Xuandi treasure box, this official has been waiting for too long!" Zhang Qian grabbed the token, which had the words "Pure Yang Golden Void" and "Qingyuan" written on it, and with a slight force, the token was shaken into powder! )
