Chapter 41 The old meet
After a while, the waiter sang loudly and brought a tray of food over.
He quickly placed it on the table, "What other orders do you have, sir?"
Lingqing first picked up the spoon and put a spoonful of beans into his mouth.
The marinade is immediately salty and fragrant, the bean curd is tender and smooth, and it is topped with minced pork, fungus, diced pickles and other condiments.
The whole thing burst out in Lingqing's mouth, causing him to let out a pleasant moan.
"This is life, this is eating!"
Then I picked up the fragrant and crispy roasted beans, took a bite of the beans brains, and took a bite of the roasted beans. After a while, I had a bowl of beans brains in my stomach.
At this time, he happily picked up a palm-sized bun and had time to talk to Xiao Yi.
"Second brother, if you're not busy, how about you chat with me?"
After asking, he bit down hard on the bun and started eating it with rice porridge and pickles.
"Wherever you are, just ask whatever you want."
"sit."
Lingqing stuffed the remaining buns into his mouth, and then he had time to reach out and let him sit on the stool next to him.
Seeing that he wanted to refuse, he pushed him down and then picked up another fried dough stick.
"I would like to ask my second brother, how far is it from Laoshan?"
"Sir, you want to go up the mountain to seek immortality and seek enlightenment, right? It's not far away. Just walk more than ten miles east from the town."
Xiao Yi looked at him a few times, smiled and said.
"Sir, please don't think I'm too talkative. There are quite a few people coming and going to seek immortality, but most of them stay on the mountain for a year and a half before they all come down.
At least three to five days.
I think the guest officer is also a happy person, so it’s better not to take this trouble.”
"Oh! Are there many people here seeking immortality?"
"A lot, why not a lot? Most of the people like guest officers are going to seek immortality."
Xiao Yi nodded affirmatively, he knew clearly whether it was too much or not.
Daling Town is the closest town to Laoshan Mountain, and this restaurant is also the only restaurant in the town.
Most people who come and go to seek immortality will eat here and inquire about the situation in the mountains.
It can be said that this store is supported by people like this. Especially in recent days, there are many more people than before.
"I don't know if there are gods in this mountain, but I believe there are.
As for whether he can become an immortal...
I only know that many people come with confidence and then leave frustrated.
It can be seen that becoming an immortal is not achieved by just eating and drinking.
According to me, it's okay for your guest to go for a walk in the mountains, but don't get your hopes too high.
I heard that it was a miserable place on the mountain, and only porridge and bran cakes could quench hunger and thirst.
Although the food in the small shop cannot be called delicacies, it can still be called delicacies.
If you go to seek immortality, you won't be able to eat such delicious food."
"Thank you so much, little brother. I don't know, little brother, everyone in the past came to that temple to worship immortals. Have you ever heard of Shangqing Temple?"
Seeing that the second brother was really kind-hearted, Ling Qing didn't refute and asked directly.
"There are many visitors to the temple on Mount Laoshan, and I have heard people talk about the Shangqing Temple.
I heard that it takes two or three days to walk to the east of the mountain, near the sea.
But the mountains are high and the forests are deep, so it’s not easy to walk on this road.”
Xiao Yi thought about it and found that she had indeed heard someone talk about it before.
He also understood that most people like this who seek immortality and seek immortality are those who will never hit the wall and never look back.
It is useless to talk too much. Instead, it is better to guide them with good words and help them avoid detours on the road. After they can no longer stand the hardships on the mountain, they will naturally give up the idea and come back.
He didn't hold anything back when he asked Lingqing, and told him the way into the mountain in detail.
"Sir, I'm going to the kitchen to have a look."
Seeing that everything that needed to be said was almost said, and the chicken and fish on the back kitchen drawer were about to be steamed, Xiao Yi stood up and said.
“The food is here!!”
After a while, Xiao Yi shouted and brought up a plate of chicken, fish and meat.
"Thank you, little brother."
Lingqing pulled off a chicken leg and stuffed it into Xiao Yi's hand, then started eating it without waiting for him to refuse.
"Thank you for the reward." Upon seeing this, Xiao Yi said thank you and turned to leave.
Although some meat can be mixed in during normal cleaning, it is still different from what the guests offer.
"Uh~~~"
After a gust of wind and lingering clouds, Lingqing hugged her belly and let out a long belch.
I was very hungry along the way, but the food was not very good.
"Second brother, pack some roast chicken and some smoked fish for me. I want to take them away."
After resting for a while, Lingqing picked up the bookcase, picked up the wooden stick, walked towards the counter, and said to Xiao Yi.
"okay!"
While Lingqing was checking out and registering, Xiao Yi also packed up the chicken and fish.
"Sir, are you going to visit the Shangqing Temple?"
Just as he was about to leave, the shopkeeper suddenly said.
"If you, sir, are not in a hurry, you might as well wait a moment."
"oh?"
"I remembered that two people yesterday said they were going to visit the Qing Temple on Mount Laoshan. You might as well go with them so that you can have company on the way."
"Yes, yes, why did I forget about this?"
Xiao Yi, who had just delivered the roasted chicken and smoked fish, also said quickly.
"But the two of them came too late yesterday. The shop was almost closed before they came, so I only heard a few words."
The shopkeeper then said: "Xiao Yi, go to the back and ask those two..."
"Lao Zhu, hurry up, hurry up!"
Before the shopkeeper could finish what he said, he heard a fierce sound coming from the backyard.
"It's none of your business to urge me. Yesterday you insisted on keeping me chatting so late. Now I know I'm in a hurry."
Another person said impatiently in the face of urging.
But Lingqing sounded familiar to these two people.
"After suffering for such a long time, and now it's almost here, isn't it exciting for me?"
"If you can't enter the mountain gate because it's late, I don't see how excited you are."
"Bah, bah, bah, you pig can't spit out ivory from your mouth, so you can't say something good."
As the sound got closer and closer, two familiar figures appeared in front of Ling Qing.
"Shopkeeper, prepare some food for us immediately, hurry up."
One of the handsome young men holding a long sword shouted loudly, followed closely by a fat Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe.
It was Zhang Zhe and Zhu Guang.
"Zhang Zhe, brother Zhu Guang, long time no see." Ling Qing raised his hand to greet the two of them.
"Lingqing?!"
"Brother Lingqing?!"
The two of them looked up and shouted in surprise when they saw Ling Qing: "You're here too."
"It turns out that the three of you know each other, so it will be more convenient." The shopkeeper couldn't help but said as he watched the three of them greet each other.
After the three of them exchanged pleasantries without saying much, Zhang Zhe and the other two bought some more food, then said goodbye to the shopkeeper and turned to leave.
After leaving the town, the three of them walked eastward.
On the way, we talked to each other about our experiences after entering the dungeon.
After the dungeon was opened, everyone chose to disperse their identities and appear alone near a small town or village.
Originally, Lingqing looked at Zhang Zhe's outfit and thought he would choose a swordsman or something like that, but he didn't expect that he would also choose a scholar.
Zhu Guang chose to be a layman, and what he got was not what he expected, it was just some metaphysical knowledge and anecdotes.
Along the way, we encountered some strange events.
