Ying Feng pulled the tassel of one end of the rope, and there was a strange blurry feeling as it swung in the air, as if his vision was also restrained near the rope. But when he looked closely, this feeling disappeared. It was very magical.
Seeing that the two friends were staring at him, Ying Feng felt very proud. Seeing Ji Yuan eating hot pot, and thinking of his uncle Ji's temper, he talked to the two friends who came from afar without any psychological burden.
"This is the Immortal Binding Rope I mentioned before. This treasure was made in Jiufeng Cave Heaven. It was made by the five top masters of immortals and monsters working together with my uncle Ji's Samadhi True Fire. It does not enter Yin and Yang and does not belong to the Five Elements, but it can enter Yin and Yang and change the Five Elements. It is ever-changing and difficult to escape. My father told me personally that the moment the treasure is made, it will be a gift from heaven and earth with countless auspicious signs!"
"Oh..." "Hiss... My dear..."
The two people standing by were feeling spicy on one hand, and genuinely shocked on the other. This treasure was right before their eyes and within their reach. But let alone them, even if the most evil monster in the world came, he would only salivate at the sight and would not dare to snatch it.
This Long Zi was talking in such a fantastic way, yet one could sense that every word came from his heart. It was really interesting, and Ji Yuan wanted to laugh as he listened to him.
Seeing Ji Yuan smiling, Longzi, who knew Ji Yuan well, knew what Uncle Ji was thinking. While returning the rope to Ji Yuan, he said.
"Hey, Uncle Ji, please don't laugh. What I said can't be considered a lie, right? Could it be that my father is lying to me?"
"That's true, but if you guys don't eat anything, I'll eat all the food on the table."
Ji Yuan picked up a piece of meat, dipped it in the sweet and sour dish beside him, then rolled it in the dry powder spicy dish before putting it in his mouth. The taste in his mouth reminded him of his previous life. The enjoyment was difficult to express in words.
Ying Feng came back to his senses and saw that Ji Yuan had eaten up half of the food on the table in a short period of time. However, this was also because the new dishes had not arrived yet, so he quickly invited his two friends to eat together.
"Eat, eat, eat. Eat everything. Don't be restrained just because Uncle Ji is here!" "Okay!"
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, eat too!"
The other two monsters were still reluctant to let go. Longzi and Mr. Ji were uncle and nephew, and the latter might have watched the former grow up. But they didn't dare to do so. Fortunately, Mr. Ji was quite easy-going, and of course it was definitely because he knew that they were Longzi's friends.
As early as when he first came to this world, Ji Yuan knew that some monsters were so huge that the food they ate at the dinner table would not even be enough to fill their teeth. It must be very boring to eat with them, right
But as he got to know them better, he no longer thought so. As long as monsters, goblins, and other huge alien races have reached the point where they can transform into humans, their structure is not much different from that of humans. From the moment a bite of food enters the mouth to the moment it is swallowed, the taste, the chewing feeling in the mouth, and the satisfaction brought by eating delicious food are exactly the same, but it is difficult for them to get full or gain weight.
To some extent, Ji Yuan is similar. What kind of state is this? This is the physical state that many people dreamed of in their previous lives! So the four people at the table ate hot pot, and they really enjoyed it, without any unpleasant feeling.
"Sir, your dishes are here~~~"
An agile waiter came around the table next to him, holding in each hand a long tray that was larger than an ordinary tray. Each tray was filled with things, piled up high, including vegetables, chopped lamb and boneless fish.
"Excuse me, sir, for giving me a hand!"
Ying Feng quickly stood up to help, and placed one of the waiter's trays on a shelf at one side, while the waiter put the other one there himself. He also pulled away the two shelves on top, as it turned out that one of the bamboo shelves was just enough to hold the trays.
"Thank you, sir. I'll collect the empty shelves. Um, I'll add the broth to your pot later."
The waiter seemed very enthusiastic and put the empty plates one by one. Suddenly, he smelled a spicy smell on the table and saw the spicy noodle plates of Ji Yuan and others.
"Uh, we don't have it in our store. What is this, sir? It smells really good. Can I have a taste?"
"You can try using your hands to fry things made with red pepper and Sichuan pepper powder."
After Ji Yuan said this, the waiter said "oh" and reached out to pinch a little bit of powder and put it into his mouth.
"Hiss... Hoo... Tsk tsk, this thing is really powerful!"
The waiter wanted to say a few more words, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to leave with the tray and dishes. When he arrived at the kitchen, his nose and forehead were sweating. He immediately admired the four people in the corner. How could anyone swallow such words? However, on this day, the waiter felt that he had enough energy no matter what he did. He didn't feel cold or tired, and the cold wind outside was as comfortable as the spring breeze.
After the waiter left, the ingredients on the table were fully replenished. When the four of them started eating again, Longzi felt that Uncle Ji really had no aversion to the two people next to him. Only then did he realize that it was a mistake and started to introduce his two friends to Ji Yuan.
These two people are from the East China Sea and live in an ocean trench overseas. Although they have no affiliation with the Ying family, they are the kind that can be called upon at any time.
Almost half an hour had passed. Except for Ji Yuan, Longzi and the other two people at the table were sweating profusely. They had never experienced sweating while eating before, but they still enjoyed the meal very much.
Since the old dragon was not there, and he heard that the dragon girl was still in the East China Sea, Ji Yuan felt that there was no need to go to the Tongtian River Water Palace. After finishing his meal, he said goodbye to Ying Feng and others at Zhuangyuan Ferry, walked onto the river bank alone and left.
Longzi stood by the river and watched Ji Yuan leave. He continued to greet his two friends after he could no longer see them. If these two people were not there, he would definitely have to walk for a while with his Uncle Ji, or simply go to Ning'an County for a trip or something.
"Hey, that's not right. Didn't you two keep clamoring for a chance to get guidance from an immortal? Uncle Ji is right in front of you, why didn't you mention it just now?"
Ying Feng looked at the two people beside him, both of whom looked embarrassed.
"Well, that... I don't have the courage to say..."
The other person was still thinking of a reason, but after hearing the other person being so frank, he no longer felt any burden and spoke honestly.
"Me too."
“Hahahahahahahahaha… ouch, I’m dying of laughter, hahahahahaha…”
Ying Feng burst into laughter at what the two said. They had been bragging before, saying that if they saw a real immortal, they would definitely try to beg. The other one boasted that he would kneel down and kowtow to move heaven and earth. But when they met Uncle Ji, not only did they not dare to beg, they didn't even dare to say a word.
After a while, Ying Feng stopped smiling.
"Let's go, let's go to the Water Palace. I think most mortals are braver than you."
One of them grinned and finally told the truth.
"That's because mortals don't know who's sitting next to them. Your Highness, we two are not like you, who can be free in front of Mr. Ji. To be honest, when we were young and ignorant, our original Black Shark ate fishermen who fell into the sea more than once. We were already very brave to sit down and eat and drink normally..."
"Yes, Your Highness, look at my palms. The sweat hasn't gone away yet. Half of it is from the spiciness, and half is from the fear..."
Ying Feng restrained his frivolous look.
"So that's how it is. Uncle Ji really hates evil people the most. My father also said that Uncle Ji looks easy to talk to, but he has definitely killed many demons and evil spirits with the Qingteng Immortal Sword. But you don't have to take it too seriously. Uncle Ji is a true cultivator. If he had a problem with you just now, he wouldn't have been so kind to you. I don't have that much face."
"Yes, yes, Your Highness is right!" "Yes, this is the best!"
"Let's go, let's go to the Water Palace."
…
Although he didn't see Old Dragon, Ji Yuan was in a good mood after eating a hot pot. He even planned to make a pot himself so that he could try it again when he wanted to eat it in the future. Anyway, he now felt that he not only had a talent for cultivation, but also a talent for cooking.
After only half a day of walking in the clouds, Niu Kui Mountain and Ning'an County in the distance appeared in sight.
As soon as he returned to Ning'an County, Ji Yuan felt emotional again. This time, including the time on the road, almost seven years had passed. For ordinary people, how many seven years can there be in their lifetime
I don't know how Sun Yaya is doing now. She should be 18 years old now. Has she persisted in practicing calligraphy in the past seven years? I don't know how Hu Yun is doing in his practice. How much progress has he made? I don't know whether the jujube tree in the yard will bloom this spring, and whether it will bear fruit now
Ji Yuan could not calculate everything. There were some things he could not calculate, and some things he did not want to calculate. With all these thoughts in mind, Ji Yuan landed outside Ning'an County as usual, and then walked slowly towards Ning'an County step by step.
Ning'an County seems to have not changed at all. The main streets and alleys have not changed, and people's busy routines have not changed. However, Ning'an County has been changing all the time. Every year there are always new houses built, which always attract new people and send off old ones.
"Is Mr. Ji back?"
Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard the greeting out of the blue. He turned around and saw an old man sitting in front of a roadside stall selling fruits and vegetables. Ji Yuan didn't recognize this old man at all. He had heard his voice before but not familiarly, probably because he had never talked to him before.
Seeing Ji Yuan stop, the old man stood up and took a closer look.
"It's you, sir. My eyesight is good. I'm not mistaken! Oh, I'm Wang Xiaojiu, the ninth child in my family."
"Ohhh, it's you."
Ji Yuan's words were purely polite. He really didn't remember this person at the moment and didn't know who Wang Xiaojiu was, but the other party seemed unusually happy.
"Yes, yes, that's me. I used to work at the temple building. I even prepared a table of cakes for you. You and an old man even thanked me. At that time, I had already worked there for two years, and few people would thank me!"
After hearing this, Ji Yuan immediately remembered who the other person was. It was the waiter from the temple building who had greeted them when the old City God invited him to have breakfast.
"Sir, you still remember me, hehehe, oh, by the way, sir, look at these vegetables, take some, take some and eat them, I grow them myself, with abundant rain and sufficient manure and water, and I just picked them this morning, they are fresh and delicious!"
"Uh, no need. Ji just came back and has to clean the house. I don't have time to light the stove. I'll eat out. Come buy groceries later if you have a chance."
"Okay, if you want it someday, just come and get it! You are truly a god. It must have been thirty years, but I feel like I have only seen you for the past thirty years!"
The old man was very enthusiastic, so Ji Yuan had to agree verbally, then said goodbye and left. At the same time, he thought to himself that maybe he should not maintain his old appearance in Ning'an County, and maybe one day in the future, Ji Yuan should "die" in Ning'an County.
