New world, holy night calendar year 101021, New Year's Eve.
Blue Star, Yan Country, Bailu City.
As the year changes from old to new, Bailu City at night is already filled with a festive atmosphere.
People gathered in the streets and alleys, laughing with each other and waiting for the early morning in various ways.
During this year, Blue Star people have made progress in different aspects.
In terms of technology, because of our good relationship with the Meteorite Tribe of the Ancient World, we have continued to receive the most powerful ancient artifact technical support in the entire Sanctuary this year.
Especially the birth of the first giant ancient artifact spaceship independently built by the Blue Star people made all the Blue Star people cheer and excited.
Although it is still not as good as other holy planets that can easily create super giant ancient artifacts, it is enough to make the Blue Star people proud.
Because this is a masterpiece of ancient artifacts that they completed independently under the limited resources of Blue Star!
But compared to the major breakthroughs in technology, the practice aspect is somewhat unsatisfactory.
Although Medicine Master Glazed Light King Buddha returned Buddhism to heaven and earth, Blue Star became the birthplace of Buddhism, the current mainstream practice system in the Holy Land.
However, due to natural reasons such as the planet being too small, lack of resources, and poor aura, it is difficult for Blue Star to become a giant in the spiritual world.
On the contrary, those sacred planets with favorable conditions, after receiving the Buddhist culture spread by Blue Star, caught up from behind and gradually surpassed Blue Star in terms of progress.
Not only that, some planet practitioners also look down on Blue Star because of this, thinking that Blue Star people are inherently unsuitable for practice.
There are even more extreme ones who want to revise the history of the origin of Buddhism and claim the orthodoxy of Buddhism as their own.
If the ancient world had not come to help and criticized this shameless behavior with righteous words, it might have been successfully stolen by clowns with ulterior motives.
But no matter what, Blue Star's practice culture is still moving in a good direction.
In particular, Yanguo heard that a young talent had emerged and entered the holy realm with an invincible appearance.
On the road to the stars he passed, countless geniuses were defeated by his hands.
The sanctuary was shaken for a moment, and everyone was wondering if this was a sign of the rise of the Blue Star cultivation world.
The strange thing is that the detailed information about the young talent seems to be hidden by a mysterious force, making it impossible for outsiders to know.
He only vaguely knew that the young man came from Blue Star Yan Country.
"Right! Right! Right!
Okay, almost done, ready to land! "
In front of a snack bar in the seaside food street of Bailu City, a young man in work clothes was holding a walkie-talkie and giving instructions.
What he commanded was a motorcycle flying in the sky.
The motorcycle has a cool and majestic appearance, with eagle-wing-like parts on both sides of the body.
Two exhaust pipes extending backwards sprayed bright lasers, causing the two motorcycles to hover in mid-air.
However, such a gorgeous motorcycle is just a cargo motorcycle in this era.
The person sitting on it is not a will-o'-the-wisp boy, but a middle-aged man wearing the same overalls as the young man on the ground.
Behind the middle-aged man, on the tail fin of the motorcycle, stood a square metal box.
There was a faint icy breath coming from the side of the box.
This kind of box is also one of the most representative products integrating technology and practice in the current era, called [Convenient Ice Box].
As the name suggests, it is a metal box made with technological means and combined with the breath of ice to create a convenient box with freezing function.
Therefore, this convenient refrigerator is widely used to transport food over long distances to keep it fresh.
Especially in this era when interstellar travel has become a commonplace, this kind of product is even more needed.
It seemed that two men, one young and one young, were preparing to unload the goods.
Under the command of the young man, the flying motorcycle landed accurately on the open space not far from the snack bar.
The bright laser lights on the exhaust pipes on both sides slowly dim, indicating that the motorcycle has stopped operating.
"Damn it, raw beef is getting harder and harder to buy nowadays. It took me a lot of effort to buy 500 kilograms of it in Beast Luo Star.
Those bastards from Beast Luo Star are each more difficult to deal with than the last.
I was almost dragged to celebrate the New Year in another place! "
The middle-aged man complained and called the young man to come over and help unload the goods.
"Beast Luo Planet? Is it the planet in the Southern Wilderness
I heard that there used to be a race called the Star Demon Clan in that star field, but they disappeared overnight for unknown reasons, leaving behind many desolate planets.
Later, some criminals wanted by the Sanctuary fled there and gradually developed their own power."
While helping to unload the goods, the young man looked like he was recalling and thinking.
Then he smiled and comforted: "Thank you for your hard work, you have to deal with the descendants of those criminals."
"Alas, the native cattle are almost extinct now, and only the genetic cattle are left.
Only the primitive planet in the southern wilderness has a small number of native cattle.
The key is that our store’s specialty, Supreme Beef Noodles, requires native beef.”
After the two unloaded the box, the middle-aged man opened the box, took a look at the frozen beef inside, sighed, lit a cigarette, and threw one to the young man beside him.
Two streaks of gray smoke rolled up in the breeze and dissipated bit by bit into the night sky.
"call-"
The middle-aged man leaned lazily on the edge of the box and blew out a long puff of smoke.
The hand holding the cigarette pointed in the direction of the sea: "Will you follow me there to relax later?"
When speaking, the corners of his mouth curved in a way that all men understand.
The place the middle-aged man was pointing to was the East China Sea east of Bailu City.
More than 100,000 years ago, the East China Sea was just an ocean.
However, with the development of the times, the entire East China Sea has been developed into a new look.
Under the night, high-rise buildings are like steel dragons, hovering above the sea, converging into a giant maritime city across the sea.
Colorful lights flow between the steel city and the sea, reflecting a bizarre night scene of the times.
Brilliant electronic fireworks shot up into the sky non-stop tonight, covering the sky with layers of colors without making any noise.
It was as if there was a mysterious force hiding all the noise.
From time to time, aerial motorcycles form patrol teams to patrol the skies around the maritime city.
That was not a cargo motorcycle ridden by a middle-aged man, but a combat motorcycle with combat power comparable to the armored vehicles of the old era.
It is also the standard equipment of the maritime urban police force.
As for the modern city across the East China Sea, it has a retro name - "The City That Never Sleeps".
An ultra-luxurious city that is rumored to have an ancient world background and combines Blue Star's most advanced technology with the highest level of enjoyment.
A top-notch gold-selling cave that ninety-nine percent of Blue Star people don't have the confidence to step into.
Compared to the colorful city that never sleeps, this food street across the sea seems much quieter.
Especially the snack bar called [Night Food] where the two of them are located is even more deserted tonight.
A warm yellow light shone faintly through the half-open door.
From time to time, you can hear a loud, powerful voice shouting something cursing.
"What is [General Manager Li] doing crazy again?"
The middle-aged man glanced coldly in the direction of the store and said something sinister.
Then he turned his head and looked in the direction of the Evernight City again, with a longing look on his face: "I don't know if I will have the chance to become a permanent resident of the Evernight City in this life."
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he nudged the young man with his elbow: "Hey, you haven't replied to me yet.
Are you going to the city that never sleeps with you later? "
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the young man looked at the Evernight City intently for a while, then shook his head and said: "A place like the Evernight City that is full of life and money, is not a place for ordinary people like us to stay.
I heard that even ordinary practitioners cannot gain a foothold in it.
Perhaps only practitioners in the [Ancient Qiwu] realm can."
"Hey! Don't talk about these things that rough people like us can't understand!" The middle-aged man interrupted the young man impatiently, widened his eyes and said: "I want to ask you for the last time, will you go to the Nightless City with my brother?"
This time the young man shook his head without thinking, "Today is New Year's Eve. After moving the goods, I will go back to have a reunion dinner with my family."
As he spoke, the young man's lips couldn't help but curve into a warm smile.
"Bang! Disappointment!"
The middle-aged man didn't say anything more, he just looked in the direction of the city that never sleeps and smoked a cigarette.
During this process, the voice of [Manager Li] in the store became louder and louder, and he became more and more anxious.
The middle-aged man was already in a bad mood, and now he couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "I really don't understand how a shabby snack bar can have the confidence to name it [Supreme Beef Noodles]."
"You don't know anything about this." The young man shook off the ashes from his cigarette and said with a smile, "The [Night Food] restaurant we work at has a lot of history."
"Hey! This shabby shop is the shabbiest in the entire food street. What does it have to do with it?" the middle-aged man complained complainingly, "If it weren't for the need of a stocker here and I was short of money, I wouldn't come here. This kind of bird has no place to apply for a job."
The young man shook his head and looked at the night food shop not far away. His tone gradually became ethereal: "Actually, I came to this shop to apply for a job because I accidentally learned about the history of this shop."
"History? Hahahaha!" The middle-aged man laughed so hard that the cigarette in his mouth was shaking, and pointed his little finger at Ye Shi behind him, "Just this shabby shop
history
Little brother, are you trying to make me laugh on purpose? "
The young man continued to shake his head, but his eyes when looking at Ye Shi became distant: "Once upon a time, I thought like you.
However, you have never thought about why an ordinary snack bar can stand in this bustling commercial snack street? "
The middle-aged man paused slightly with his smoking hand and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Because the business is so bad, I am not taken seriously by my peers at all."
"The business of night food is not bad." The young man's eyes revealed mystery, and his voice lowered, "According to my observation, there may not be that many customers coming to this store, but most of them exude a strong aura.
There are even some customers who can take my breath away with just one look.”
"Are you crazy about wanting to be a cultivator? You're talking so much." The middle-aged man rolled his eyes fiercely.
"Maybe." The young man shrugged, "But let's not mention my matter first. The historical background of night eating has indeed been verified by me personally and I guarantee it is true."
He stretched out his hand to the middle-aged man, indicating to give him another cigarette, and then said leisurely in the latter's eyes: "According to my investigation, the history of night eating can even be traced back to the Holy Spirit more than 101,000 years ago. "Ye Calendar First Year"
"What?! Are you saying that Night Food is a shop that is more than 100,000 years old?!
Little brother, do you really not have a fever in your brain? "The middle-aged man looked at the young man more and more like he was looking at a fool.
"Don't worry, just listen to me." The young man was a little annoyed after being interrupted many times, but he continued patiently: "According to my research, Night Food was originally a snack bar opened by a university professor named Ye.
According to rumors, Professor Ye was kind-hearted. He felt sorry for the poor life of the fisherman Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang, so he donated his snack bar to the couple.
The Zhuang couple, who suddenly got a snack bar, did not dare to neglect it and worked conscientiously to pass on the night snack from generation to generation.
After more than 100,000 years, the descendants of the Zhuang family have gradually become richer by relying on their income from night food.
About a few years ago, the descendants of this generation of the Zhuang family donated the night food to a couple, which is our current owner."
"hiss-"
The middle-aged man on the side suddenly cried out in pain.
It turned out that he was so stunned that he didn't react until the hot cigarette ashes fell on his hand.
"Are you telling the truth?" the middle-aged man asked with his eyes wide.
"Think about it carefully, what is the surname of our current boss?" the young man reminded.
"Nonsense, his surname is Ye, doesn't everyone call him [Brother Yexiao]?" The middle-aged man said and suddenly came to his senses.
A pair of eyes also widened: "Wait! Ye? Professor Ye?"
"That's right." The young man nodded, "There are rumors that the descendants of the Zhuang family generously donated the store because the recipient of the gift was the same Professor Ye who helped their ancestor Zhuang and his wife more than 100,000 years ago. A last name.”
"Wait a minute!" The middle-aged man seemed to suddenly think of something. He pointed in the direction of the Evernight City and asked anxiously: "The descendants of the Zhuang family you are talking about are not the famous wealthy family bankers in the Evernight City, right?"
The young man didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
His reaction shocked the middle-aged man so much that the cigarette in his hand almost flew out: "According to your words, if the banker made his fortune by eating at night, why would he be willing to give up this cornucopia to others
Just because the current boss has the same surname as that Professor Ye? "
"As for this issue, I actually can't figure it out, so I've been investigating it secretly." The young man frowned and looked at Ye Shi and murmured to himself: "It's just that every time I think I'm getting close to the truth, I always feel that there is a pair of Eyes were watching me secretly, telling me not to cross the line.
Like a ferocious beast watching in secret, I lost the courage to continue investigating time and time again.”
"So I guess that there must be a super powerful force guarding behind this seemingly ordinary snack bar.
And that is a terrifying existence that you and I can’t even imagine! "
The young man said with a serious expression.
The middle-aged man seemed to want to ask something else. Just as he opened his mouth, he caught a glimpse of a figure hurriedly walking out of the store from the corner of his eye.
He immediately curled his lips and took back his words.
He muttered in a low voice: "Manager Li is here."
What hurriedly walked out of the night meal was a young man of medium build and fair complexion.
At this time, he looked anxious, his eyes kept looking into the distance, as if he was in a hurry to see someone.
It seems that this person is the [General Manager Li] mentioned by the middle-aged man.
After seeing [General Manager Li], the middle-aged man continued to smoke cigarettes in his own way.
He raised his head as if he didn't see Manager Li.
Only the young man quickly put out his cigarette and greeted [Manager Li] with a smile: "Brother Li, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Eh? Lao Zheng, Xiao Lin?"
[Manager Li] Then he noticed the two people in the shadows next to the box and paused.
Judging from his title, Lao Zheng is the middle-aged man, so Xiao Lin naturally calls the young man.
"Why are you two still here?" [Manager Li] said with a displeased look on his face: "Stop procrastinating, hurry up and get the goods to the warehouse, and then go home for dinner.
Otherwise, when Hiro comes back and sees me, he will definitely reprimand me for treating my employees harshly! "
As he spoke, he looked at his watch anxiously: "Oops! I won't chat with you anymore, I have to rush to greet Hiro and the others!"
After leaving these words, he walked away in a hurry.
"Bah! You know how to show off your authority!" After [General Manager Li] left, Lao Zheng spat on the ground with a look of displeasure.
He was still mumbling: "I don't know what kind of backdoor was used to let this guy get the position of employee supervisor. Do you really think he is the general manager
When I was hanging around outside, this guy was still wearing diapers!
You dare to teach me a lesson, you are so ignorant! "
"Don't say that, Mr. Li. Brother Li is usually very nice to us.
If he really dares to treat us harshly, his entire family will not be able to spare him. "Xiao Lin patted Lao Zheng on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
"I'm not saying that he treats us harshly, it's just that it's very unpleasant to be stepped on by a guy younger than me." Lao Zheng muttered.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these annoying things on a great day like today." Lao Zheng waved his hand at the smoke in front of him and asked casually: "By the way, who did that guy say he was going to pick up just now?"
"It seems to be a person named Ahong." Xiao Lin said halfway, his voice suddenly became trembling: "C-could it be the legendary young master?!"
"The legendary young master's family?" Old Zheng was a little confused.
“Because I have never seen Shaodong’s before I came to this store.
I have only heard of his name, Ye Minghong.
I heard from other employees in the store that Shaodong's family seemed to have gone out on a study trip very early.
but"
"But what?" Lao Zheng asked perfunctorily, somewhat disapprovingly.
"But I guessed from some clues that the young master is probably a cultivator!
And he is not an ordinary practitioner!
I even suspect that the mysterious background of Ye Shi is related to the young master! "Xiao Lin said with determination.
"Bang! You're getting sick again." As soon as Lao Zheng heard the word "practitioner", he waved his hands in disinterest, "Stop getting sick, quickly move the goods into the warehouse with my brother, and then hurry to the city that never sleeps."
"No!" Xiao Lin's suddenly louder voice startled Lao Zheng.
"It's rare to see the true face of Shaodong's family in Lushan. I must not miss this opportunity!" Xiao Lin looked at Lao Zheng seriously, "The goods can be moved at any time, but this may be the only opportunity to see Shaodong's family. We must not miss it. !”
"Crazy man, if you want to see him, go and see him yourself." Lao Zheng rolled his eyes.
"Hehe, you have to see me this time if you don't want to." Xiao Lin suddenly laughed.
Just when Lao Zheng was confused, he discovered that Xiao Lin was looking at the beach not far away.
I saw a group of people walking slowly on the beach under the light.
Taking the lead and walking in front, the one with a diligent look on his face was [Director Li] just now.
Among the other people, there were also people who looked familiar to Lao Zheng and Xiao Lin.
That is Yexiao, the owner of Yexiao, known as [Brother Yexiao], and Yexiao's wife, An Xiaoying, the proprietress who runs Yexiao together with Yexiao.
She was a strong woman whose outbursts were enough to silence all the employees in the store.
Holding their arms, walking in the middle was a beautiful girl dressed as a college student.
Lao Zheng and Xiao Lin had met this person several times, and they both knew that she was the daughter of Ye Xiao and An Xiaoying, named Ye Zhinuo.
As for the other people, Lao Zheng and Xiao Lin didn't know each other.
But the two of them could see at a glance the good temperament exuding from those people, as if they were not in the same world as them.
However, so many people could not cover up the light of the young man in the crowd.
The young man had black hair, black eyes, and a handsome face.
A pair of seemingly calm eyes, but they seem to contain the stars of the universe, making people unable to help but fall in love with them.
Every frown, every smile, every move, is as if made in heaven, as elegant as a fairy.
The Fengshen is handsome and ethereal, just like the legendary son of the God Emperor, a noble man and a proud man.
There is majesty in the calmness, and unfathomableness in the majesty.
All in all, his whole body exudes a peculiar temperament that cannot be described in words.
And looking at the way he was chatting and laughing with Ye Xiao and others beside him, could it be that the legendary young master's family - Ye Hong
I don’t know if it was because the young man’s appearance was so outstanding that both Lao Zheng and Xiao Lin were fascinated by it.
It wasn't until a group of people came in front of him that he suddenly woke up.
But when they came back to their senses, they found [Manager Li] glaring over him.
"I-let's move the goods right now!"
Lao Zheng and Xiao Lin panicked on the spot and hurriedly prepared to move the convenient ice box.
Oh my God! What are you doing
This is laziness in front of the boss!
According to the contract, they can be fired directly.
Even if you are as proud as Lao Zheng, you are not willing to lose your job on a day like New Year's Eve.
"Don't move yet."
A pleasant and clear voice suddenly came from the crowd, but it was the young man who stood out.
I saw him looking over with a smile: "How can anyone still be working on New Year's Eve
Quickly put down what you are doing and go back to celebrate the festival. "
After saying this, the young man looked at [General Manager Li] with the same smile: "Brother Dafa, I know there should be some reason for this.
But according to the night food rules, employees cannot be allowed to work on New Year's Eve.
The same goes for you, there is no need to make a big show to welcome me, Mu Ya is still waiting for your brother to go back to celebrate the New Year. "
"Yes, yes, yes" [Manager Li] kept nodding in response.
It was obviously winter, but sweat kept flowing down my face.
"Have you two heard this? Hurry up and put down what you are doing and go back to spend time with your family!
Don’t worry, your salary will be paid as usual! "
[General Manager Li] turned around and shouted to Lao Zheng and Xiao Lin. While shouting, he kept winking at the two of them, with pleading in his eyes.
'Amazing'
Lao Zheng and Xiao Lin had this idea in their minds at the same time.
The young man looked young, and he had a warm smile like a spring breeze when he spoke, but a few words frightened [General Manager Li] like this, which shows how afraid [General Manager Li] is of that young man.
The two of them had basically determined the boy's identity.
"No, no need, we'll move the goods into the warehouse before leaving."
In front of this young man, Xiao Lin became extremely nervous for some reason.
"Yes, yes, this is our job."
Lao Zheng also said quickly.
His tone turned out to be as stuttering as Xiao Lin's.
"Then thank you for your hard work."
The young man smiled, said nothing, and led a group of people towards the night restaurant.
When only Lao Zheng and Xiao Lin were left outside, they were still in a daze, as if they were still immersed in the boy's inexplicable aura.
"This is so weird. I was trembling just now because I was talking so much." Lao Zheng scratched his head in confusion.
"Quick! Move the goods quickly!"
Xiao Lin urged Lao Zheng and glanced eagerly in the direction of the store, with some excitement in his eyes.
Ever since his soul woke up in the sanctuary and merged with the body of this time and space, Ye Hong had been planning to return to Blue Star for a visit.
See how the Blue Star in this new world is different from the one in his memory.
Those who came back with him naturally went to visit his family in the Holy Land.
Interestingly, in this new time and space, their family still has a shop called Night Food.
And this store is exactly the night snack bar that Ye Hong opened in Bailu City on the ancient Blue Star when he traveled through time and space and returned to the past!
Before heading to the underwater ruins, Ye Hong transferred the snack bar to the Zhuang couple, Zhuang Zhuang and Zhuang Li.
Going around and around, for a hundred thousand years, the descendants of the Zhuang family made a fortune relying on Ye Shi and the recipes left by Ye Hong.
And under the secret care of Li Zhouzhou, Li Tangtang and others, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and the incense continues.
Until a few years ago, the descendants of the Zhuang family transferred Ye Shi to Ye Hong's parents in this time and space.
Coincidentally, this night restaurant also has assistant Murong Tingmeng, staff supervisor Li Dafa, chef Pu Yunyue and others.
And the reason why they join the night diet is almost the same as in another time and space.
Ye Hong believed that even if he had not transferred the store to the Zhuangs a thousand years ago, or even if he had not opened this store, there would be other channels for this store to appear in a hundred thousand years later. There are other reasons to gather those familiar faces.
Perhaps, this is what Li Shi once said about time and space cause and effect.
Under the cause and effect of time and space, the thread of time and space still develops towards Ye Hong's familiar memory, but only removes the existence of the Star Demon Clan alone.
“I miss you so much”
Ye Hong entered the store, stretched out his hand to caress the tables and chairs in the store, and murmured softly.
The decoration style of the store is actually the same as that of a night food in another time and space.
In this regard, Ye Hong could only sigh once again at the power of time and space causality.
"Brother, you haven't been back for several years. Of course you miss everything in the store." Ye Zhinuo bared his teeth and smiled beside him.
Ye Hong just smiled and said nothing.
He is the only one who understands that what he misses is not only this night eclipse, but also the unknown night eclipse in another time and space that is in the memory of the soul.
"Okay, don't talk so much.
Today is New Year's Eve, and we haven't prepared the New Year's Eve dinner yet.
Mother, come here and help me prepare. "
Yexiao said and was about to take An Xiaoying to the kitchen.
But his move was stopped by Ye Hong with his hand: "Mom, Dad, just rest today. Leave the New Year's Eve dinner to me."
Seeing the confident and calm smile on Ye Hong's face, Ye Xiao was startled at first, and then deliberately said with a straight face: "You brat, just because your cooking skills are better than mine, you look down on my cooking skills, right?"
An Xiaoying looked at Ye Hong worriedly: "Ahong, you have just been discharged from the hospital, so why don't you stop doing all this?"
"Don't worry, I'm in good health." Ye Hong smiled reassuringly, and winked at Ye Zhinuo, who was covering his mouth and snickering.
Ye Zhinuo understood and took Ye Xiao and An Xiaoying to rest.
"You guys should sit down and have a good rest. It's been a hard journey." Ye Hong said to the group of people following him in the store.
These people were sent to him by Li Zhouzhou to escort him from the Holy Domain back to Blue Star.
Although with Ye Hong's strength, he really couldn't think of anyone else in the entire sanctuary who could threaten his safety.
But Li Zhouzhou, who was worried, still insisted on sending this group of people to guard Ye Hong.
It happened that Ye Hong and his family wanted to go back to Blue Star for the New Year, so they brought them back by the way.
"I will obey the order of Senior Ye!"
A group of guards agreed in unison and went to rest aside.
Seeing their respectful attitude, Ye Hong shook his head in confusion.
Ordinary people may only think that Ye Hong is a spiritual genius, but these guards around Li Zhouzhou are different.
With their identities, they are already the tip of the iceberg who can vaguely understand Ye Hong's identity.
So much so that when they met Ye Hong for the first time, they all respectfully called Ye Hong [Ye Hong].
Because they know that the unified calendar of the current world - [Holy Night Calendar] is inseparable from Ye Hong!
If Ye Hong didn't like publicity and forced them to change their names, this title would probably have followed Lan Xing.
Just as Ye Hong shook his head and was about to go to the kitchen to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, he saw Li Dafa running in from the door with a large group of employees.
They looked panicked, their steps were messy, and they looked outside the store from time to time.
"Something big happened!"
