Chapter 1942 The Big Ox
Just as Liu Jun and the others were listening attentively to Elder Bi You's account of the origin of Qianyu City, a burst of noise suddenly sounded outside the box door, mixed with the exceptionally clear cry of a cow. Breaking the original tranquility.
"This...cow braying?" Liu Jun frowned unconsciously, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart, as if this sound had echoed in a corner of his memory, but for a moment Its exact origin is difficult to capture.
Seeing this, Elder Bi You also stopped talking, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, and asked: "Cow braying? How could there be such a noise in this bustling restaurant? Could it be the latter? The chef is killing the cow? But the sound sounds like it is coming from the front."
Liu Jun thought for a moment, stood up, and said to Elder Bi You and everyone present: "I'll go check the situation first, you guys first? Eat.”
After that, Liu Jun stepped out of the box and slowly walked down the stairs, secretly speculating on the source of the cow's braying. As his footsteps gradually moved downward, he was surprised to find that the deafening cow cry was actually coming from the lobby on the first floor. The cow's sound was so penetrating that it reached the fourth floor.
The moment he stepped into the lobby on the first floor, he was stunned by the sight in front of him. The first floor of Ruyi Restaurant was now in chaos, with tables and chairs overturned and diners running around in panic. The initiator of all this was actually a huge ox.
The cow was originally going to be slaughtered in the backyard kitchen. At some point, it broke free from its restraints and ran all the way to the lobby on the first floor. Wherever it passed, tables and chairs were overturned one after another, and the scene was once out of control.
"Quick! Hold it down!" The restaurant owner jumped up and down in a hurry, pointing at the big ox that was still rampaging, and shouted with a livid face. After hearing this, several guys quickly gathered around and tried to subdue the out-of-control animal. However, the strength of the big bull was amazing, and no one could get close for a while.
When Liu Jun saw this, he couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, there are so many coincidences in this world, and he unexpectedly encountered such a bizarre scene in such a place.
Just when Liu Jun was about to turn around and go upstairs, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the heavy and slightly rough collar around the cow's neck, and he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The huge ox also discovered Liu Jun's presence at the same moment and rushed over without hesitation, hiding tightly behind Liu Jun. At this moment, the chefs who were busy in the back kitchen, as well as the guards specially maintained by the restaurant, all rushed forward with ferocious looks. At this moment, the shopkeeper saw clearly that it was Liu Jun standing there, and he shouted loudly, trying his best to stop these aggressive people.
"Um, distinguished guest, please give way and don't hurt you. We have to take this cow back." The shopkeeper hurried forward with a look of fawning on his face. Said with a smile.
Liu Jun lowered his head slightly and glanced at the trembling big ox behind him, and then without hesitation took out a thick stack of sacred coins from his arms. "I bought this cow. It hit I'll pay for the bad things."
"This, this" the shopkeeper's eyes stared straight at the stack of sacred coins, his heart was beating again, and his face looked embarrassed again. look. You know, the stack of sacred coins given by Liu Jun is more than enough to buy a thousand cows, but this cow was kept here by a distinguished guest, and he asked them to kill it and use it to entertain the guests. Yes, if the distinguished guest comes and cannot see the scalpers, it is not impossible to demolish their restaurant.
"Isn't the money enough? Then add some more." Liu Jun slowly took out a bunch of brand-new divine coins from his sleeve and patted it gently on the table. The crisp sound was extremely clear in the noisy restaurant. The two stacks of divine coins were stacked neatly together, shining with golden light and exuding an alluring luster, enough to make everyone present look at them.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened instantly and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He was obviously shocked by the sudden huge wealth. The chefs, guards, and diners enjoying the delicious food beside him also stopped what they were doing and focused their gazes on the stacks of divine coins, their faces filled with surprise and envy.
"As expected of someone who came from a powerful force. This move is simply writing a legend with money. You can convince people with money, even if they don't accept it." Some people in the crowd whispered, their words full of awe. .
However, faced with this temptation that could make anyone sway, the shopkeeper had a bitter look on his face and shook his head helplessly: "Dear guest, you really misunderstood. This scalper does not belong to our restaurant, but to our restaurant. It is temporarily stored here by another distinguished guest. If it is really our wine. I will give you the property for free without any hesitation."
Liu Jun frowned slightly when he heard this, but then he relaxed and smiled: "Oh? What about these? You, go talk to the person who deposited the scalper.”
As he spoke, Liu Jun waved his sleeves slightly, and saw a flash of light, and a huge wooden box suddenly appeared on the ground.
This wooden box is simple and solemn. The lid is half open, revealing the densely packed and shining spiritual stones inside. Each of these spiritual stones is crystal clear and exudes a soft light. They are obviously of the highest quality and extremely valuable. In some cases, they are even more precious than large-denomination divine coins.
Everyone present, including the shopkeeper, was once again deeply shocked by this scene. They had never seen so many high-quality spirit stones. For a moment, the entire restaurant fell into a brief silence. Only the soft light on the spirit stones was swaying gently, as if telling some unknown secret.
The corner of Liu Jun's mouth raised slightly, and there was an unquestionable determination in his eyes: "The cow, I took it away. As for the depositor, you tell him, the scalper is mine."
< br>After saying that, Liu Jun had an unquestionable determination on his face. He did not look around again, as if the disturbance had nothing to do with him. As he turned around, he stepped up the stairs with firm and powerful steps, each step. Every step seems so decisive and confident.
And the huge ox, although its movements were a little clumsy, swung its round butt, followed closely behind, and went up the stairs.
The stairs of this Ruyi Restaurant are indeed spacious and strong. Each wooden board is carefully crafted and can withstand a lot of weight. But even so, when the huge body of the big ox stepped onto the stairs step by step, people could not help but worry about the endurance of the stairs. If the stairs were not strong enough, they would have collapsed under the weight of the big ox. As for the guardrail, it is even more worrying. If it cannot withstand the impact of the big scalper, the consequences will be disastrous.
The shopkeeper stood on the first floor, watching this scene with mixed feelings in his heart. He carefully put away a whole box of heavy spiritual stones, and carefully counted the two stacks of divine coins on the table, with excitement on his face. This windfall came so suddenly that he was caught off guard. However, while he was excited, he began to worry again. Although this wealth was tempting, he didn't know how to explain it to the distinguished guest. After all, this scalper is indeed special. If a distinguished guest asks about the scalper's whereabouts, how should he answer?
Liu Jun went up to the fourth floor and walked directly into their box with the big scalper. The atmosphere in the box was originally a bit dull, but when the huge bull head suddenly broke into sight, everyone in the box was shocked and speechless. Everyone's eyes fell on the big ox, as if they had seen something incredible.
Elder Bi You was so surprised that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. His eyes widened and he looked at Liu Jun and Big Ox with a blank look on his face. He didn't understand, why did Liu Jun bring back such a cow when he went down? Where did this cow come from? Why did Liu Jun come here? His heart was filled with doubts and confusion.
Other people in the box also cast curious glances and whispered, trying to guess the origin of the big scalper and Liu Jun's intentions.
However, Liu Jun didn't seem to notice this. He went back to his seat and sat down. Then he patted the big ox on the back and motioned for it to sit down too. The big scalper seemed to understand what Liu Jun meant, and he obediently found a corner and squatted down. His big eyes rolled around, looking at everything around him curiously.
"Elder Liu Jun, who are you?" Elder Bi You asked with confusion on his face, his eyes glancing at the big scalper lying on the ground with an innocent look on his face from time to time.
The big scalper's eyes seemed to still be flashing with a bit of lingering fear, obviously he was still frightened by what he had just experienced.
"This big scalper is actually my friend." Liu Jun patted the wine bottle in his hand, took a sip, and explained, "I don't know what happened, but he suddenly lost his human form and returned to his original form, almost He was killed by the cook of this restaurant."
"Losing the human form? Returning to the original body?" Elder Chen Shanhe frowned when he heard this, and exchanged a meaningful look with Elder Bi You. There seems to be some unknown secret or some deep worry hidden in their eyes.
Liu Jun keenly caught the strangeness between the two of them, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance in his heart.
"Why, what do you know?" Liu Jun put down the wine bottle and looked at Elder Chen Shanhe and Elder Bi You with burning eyes.
Elder Bi You and Elder Chen Shanhe looked at each other again, seemingly weighing something. In the end, it was Elder Chen Shanhe who broke the silence: "It is said that the Eden messengers of Qianyu City, especially the messengers with six wings and above, possess a mysterious staff. This staff has incredible power and can turn some already... The monster that transformed into a human form was forced to return to its true form.”
"Six-winged Messenger?" Liu Jun's eyes suddenly shrank when he heard this.
Elder Bi You just said that the highest number of Eden messengers in Qianyu City is the Eight Wings. Then these Six Wings are most likely the top brass in Qianyu City, and they are definitely the big shots in the city.
Recalling the words of the shopkeeper when he just bought the big scalper, Liu Jun couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart. Who is that distinguished guest? Is it the Seraphim? What happened?
A series of questions swirled in Liu Jun's mind, making him fall into deep contemplation. Elders Bi You and Chen Shanhe were waiting quietly. They knew that any unnecessary words at this time were redundant, and they could only wait for Liu Jun to think on his own.
“Little Er” Liu Jun shouted softly towards the carved wooden door outside the box.
"Here we come, our distinguished guest will wait a moment." A waiter wearing a green shirt and a white scarf on his shoulders hurriedly walked into the box. His eyes quickly and respectfully glanced at Liu Jun, with a professional smile on his face, "Dear guest, What are your orders?"
"Take me to the place where I live." Liu Jun stood up gently and patted the huge ox beside him.
Then Liu Jun turned around and glanced at everyone in the box with gentle eyes, "You guys eat first. I plan to go check out the place where I live first and see if I can get this guy back to his human form."
"Okay" everyone nodded after hearing this.
Behind the restaurant is a majestic five-story wooden building, which is as tall as the restaurant, as if it were two giants standing side by side. An exquisite wooden staircase winds between the two buildings, which is convenient for passage and adds a bit of elegance.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Liu Jun walked along the stairs and slowly entered the wooden building specially designed for accommodation.
His room is still located on the fourth floor. The space is spacious and bright, and the layout is simple yet luxurious. There are several pieces of exquisite furniture placed in the house, all of which are carefully carved from fine wood. Each piece reveals the craftsman's exquisite skills and extraordinary taste. An elegant landscape painting hangs on the wall, adding an air of literati to this quiet space.
Stepping into the room, Liu Jun looked around and nodded with satisfaction. This residence was in line with his taste.
After the guy left, Liu Jun patted the big ox next to him again, took out a Transformation Pill and handed it over. This Transformation Pill was not an ordinary thing, but one he refined. The special Transformation Pill is an enhanced version of the Transformation Pill. If this pill doesn't work, it will be a headache for him.
