Chapter 229: Ghosts
On the Tianyao Continent, years of great famine are not uncommon, so there are always a group of starving ghosts floating around in the world who are not allowed to reincarnate.
When the thoughts of hunger and resentment accumulate to a certain extent, the starving ghosts will cause trouble in the world and start eating people.
This kind of starving ghost has suffered too much in his life, died in such a tragic way, and has so many resentments that even some eminent monks in the area cannot save him.
Therefore, in the land of Zhongyou, chefs of the dead are sent out every year to travel around the world with spoons and cook delicacies of all kinds in order to save the souls of the dead.
Everyone in the world is afraid of the name of the heroic spirit of Zhongyou, but no one will pay attention to remember that in the land of Zhongyou, the dead chefs sent out every year have indeed saved many countries from many ghost disasters.
A disaster involving cannibals and ghosts.
Difficulty of chanting.
Sometimes, a bowl of hot soup and rice can bring peace to the souls of the dead and peace to the world.
Thinking of the truth here, Fang Geyu couldn't help but take another look at the old woman.
But under the stove, there was a short, skinny black dim shadow, falling on the pile of firewood, holding a bowl of hot noodle soup, and eating quietly.
The old man stood peeling garlic under the candlelight.
The shadow was eating noodles in the dark.
Beside the candlestick stand two incense sticks, one long and one short, like a yin and yang.
With a touch of warmth.
At this time, she finally understood why this Bashu noodle shop was deserted by customers, but this elderly woman still persisted in running the shop.
Get up early and work hard every day.
She said that her old man stayed in Xianling City forever, so she would stay here with him.
She did not want to move because she was worried that the old man in her family was blind. If she moved, she would never be able to find her way home.
The one who cooks is the one who eats the living, and the one who is in charge of the dead is the meal.
Every spoonful is the yin and yang of life and death.
For some reason, looking at Bai Lian who was quietly eating red oil soup noodles with his head lowered, Fang Geyu, who had always been unfazed by the cold, felt a bit of confusion and pain in his heart for no reason.
She tapped Balian's head with chopsticks, and said in a deadpan tone: "Did I say I don't eat noodles?"
She put the noodle bowl in He moved closer, picked up a noodle and rolled it with green vegetables, lowered his head and took a sip, then ate it.
Lash's eyes were red and she couldn't hide her tears. She hummed twice and refused to admit defeat: "The food in Bashu is nothing more than this."
Balian coughed twice, and his lips were a little red. He wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and lowered his body.
He pulled up his collar and exposed several bottles of soy milk hidden inside, and said with a smile: "I also have several bottles of sweet soy milk, all for you to drink."
I don’t know. Why, Fang Geyu felt very funny when he saw him lowering his body and looking like offering a treasure.
It is clearly not a precious object.
A bottle of sweet soy milk costing seven cents is really rare for her.
Fang Geyu, who was secretly sarcastic in his heart, unceremoniously reached out and took out the bottles of sweet soy milk, and placed them one by one on the table. The two little boots under the table tapped each other lightly. Toe shoes.
Looking at the appearance, I thought that this sweet milk was brought to Xiao Yuan'er, but now I took it all out and gave it to her. She was about to say two stinging words every day when Fang Geyu raised her head and met Bailian's eyes, but she saw her eyebrows as curved as the moon from those clean and pure black pupils.
Smiling like a kitten that stole a fish.
What the hell!
Who is this? !
How could she wear Fang Geyu's face and still smile so... disgustingly!
After being stunned for a long time, Fang Geyu felt that this ghost noodle shop was really scary. Could it be that she was possessed by something dirty?
With trembling hands, he quickly took out a silver-gray pendant mirror from the Qiankun bag and took a look at himself. His eyes were black and not red.
This means that she is not possessed by a ghost.
The person who laughed just now was really her.
Fang Geyu is incredible.
She, the majestic eldest lady of Shifang City, the richest woman in the world, could be so simple... entertained by a few bottles of sweet milk.
When did she become so poor and never see good things?
"Don't look in the mirror when eating. It's cold and the food will get cold after a while." Balian warned.
Fang Geyu put the mirror away. The red oil on the bowl of hot soup was gone. Bailian drank it with a spoon. The soup was bright yellow and not as spicy as before.
She also took a spoonful, sipped it, and said, "What do you want to tell me in detail?"
While speaking, Fang Geyu put the old woman in the small plate. The man made the omelette and put it in the noodle bowl. He pushed it in the direction of Balian: "I don't like eating this, so you can eat it for me."
Bailian curled his lips and smiled, He didn't refuse and took a bite of the fried egg. It was also delicious.
"Fang Geyu, in previous years, when Xianling City chose the city lord, would they give three months' notice in advance?" he asked.
Fang Geyu dipped a piece of fried noodles into the hot soup, and it tasted spicy and crispy.
She took two mouthfuls of hot mist and responded: "Xianling City rarely chooses a city lord. You also know that ordinary practitioners have a long life span. The last city lord lived for nine hundred and thirty years. Buried a year, ten years ago.
The exam is just being chosen now, and the female official of the Seal next to the Emperor is sitting in the fairy city. In fact, the position of the city lord is not in a hurry to be chosen. As for whether the big exam five hundred years ago was notified in advance, I guess there is really no one. Care, what’s wrong?”
Bailian lowered his voice and said: "I suspect that the big exam in Xianling City is said to be officially started in three months. In fact, it is not the case. The invitations were distributed early and the fairy city is already overcrowded. I am afraid that this exam will be held every day. From the moment a person enters the city, he has The silence began."
Fang Geyu was surprised for a moment and was about to ask more. When she thought about it carefully, she slowly lowered her eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "This is really like a queen. The style is really disgusting.”
Bailian said: "I think these three months are just the first round of exams. As for how to successfully pass this round of exams, there are too few clues and I don't know yet."
Fang Geyuhe Smiled: "I only know that I have done nothing and only immersed myself in the room to study hard. This first round of exams is probably equivalent to handing in a blank paper."
Bailian nodded. , said: "So it's okay to be in the city. If you wander around a bit more, you might get something unexpected."
Fang Geyu clicked his tongue and said very impatiently: "What kind of status is this young lady? What does it look like to wander around the city like a country bumpkin? "
Bailian is lowering his head to deal with the fried eggs and beef in the bowl. He likes this old woman's cooking skills very much. More importantly, he can taste the taste of human food, which is very impressive. move.
After hearing Fang Geyu's words, he answered without thinking: "What's the matter? Miss Fang is not a country bumpkin, but the corpse demon next to her who just came out of the mountains can reluctantly be a country bumpkin. Please invite the eldest lady." Show your kindness and show me the world.”
Fang Geyu laughed out loud, and couldn't help but kick his legs with his little feet under the table: "They would say it's difficult, you are trying to imitate my lady's tone."
