The Wonderful Way

Chapter 52
After the nun's non-stop introduction and the tacit consent of the high-ranking monk, Chu Miao knew where these two people came from.

It turns out that the owner of Shuranlou is this "Ji Lao".

Ji Lao's name is Ji Liancheng, he was originally a monk near the Tianji Sect, he traveled here and there, and he has only been in Zhusi City for about sixty years.

Ji Liancheng has always liked to study spiritual food and spirit wine, and the random building in Tianjifang City was the first shop he opened.

It's just that he likes to travel and hang out everywhere, and he doesn't stay in each place for a long time, so the shop in Tianjifang City didn't open for a long time, so he left.

Because the people invited didn't know how to cook the spiritual meal, the spiritual meal in the random building in Tianjifang City was very mediocre. Only the spiritual wine he provided every year was attractive.

Fortunately, there are many acquaintances in Tianjifang City, and the shop has been open for many years, and it has gradually become famous, so some people are willing to try it just for the spirit wine.

Later, every time Ji Liancheng traveled to a city that he thought was good, he would open a shop there, and if he didn't want to stay, he would leave the manager and leave.

It's just this kind of casual management, coupled with sometimes "forgetting" to supply wine to the shop, which led to the closure of most shops. So far, only this and the original shop in Tianjifang City remain.

Because Ji Liancheng had a bad temper most of the time, and this shop didn't invite anyone else, only him and the chatty female nun ran it.

Intentionally or not, the two offended many customers. Coupled with the remote location, fewer people came to this store.

There are only a few regular wine lovers who come to pick up wine on a regular basis. Except for Chu Miao and the other two, the last batch of customers will come to the store every year.

The more direct reason is that Ji Liancheng had a feud with Jing Mu, the lord of Zhusi City, and he enclosed the land as soon as he arrived in the city and opened a shop directly.

Lord Jingcheng asked him to hand over spirit stones to buy land, but he also refused. Both of them are high-level monks, and if they do it, it will spread thousands of miles.

Lord Jing let a group of monks in the early stage of foundation establishment come to ask for debts every few days, which made the bad business even worse, but Ji Liancheng refused to leave.

The female cultivator's name is Ruhua, and she claims that Ji Liancheng specially picked it up and stayed by her side to help.

Ruhua looks to be in her forties, with a slender figure and fine eye lines, but her appearance is worthy of the name of Ruhua.

Although he was chatty, he knew how to measure it, and he didn't mention Ji Liancheng's cultivation level or who he was from the Tianji Sect.

Chu Miao and Gu Nianning naturally wouldn't ask too much, but their eyes twitched when they heard the reason why Ji Liancheng didn't leave.

"The shopkeeper said that Old Man Jing is not a good bird. He wants to wait here until the next election of the city lord, so that he can vote for Old Man Jing's sworn enemy."

After finishing speaking, Ruhua also felt a little speechless, and was about to complain when she suddenly remembered that Ji Liancheng was in the back kitchen, so she shut her mouth resentfully.

Chu Miao did not completely relax her vigilance, and knew that too much talk would lead to loss, so she just kept silent and listened to Ruhua's introduction of Zhu Sicheng, waiting for the spiritual meal to be served.

On the contrary, Gu Nianning listened with gusto, and seemed to be very interested in Ruhua, and kept asking about Zhu Sicheng's interesting stories, and chatted harmoniously with him.

After waiting for a while, a jug of wine floated steadily from the back kitchen to the table. Ruhua opened the wine without bothering her anymore, and left the table knowingly and entered the back kitchen.

As soon as Chu Miao opened the wine, she smelled a mellow aroma, which was exactly the same as the one she drank in Tianjifang City.

While sipping the wine carefully, the two waited for the spiritual meal that hadn't been served for a long time. It wasn't until the small jar of wine was half gone that the food slowly floated out.

After serving the table, Chu Miao and Gu Nianning couldn't help their appetites, they tasted each dish one by one, and felt that they had never eaten such a delicious spiritual meal.

The three dishes are all the same dishes in the random building in Tianjifang City, but the taste is as different as cloud and mud.

Among them was a piece of Hanyu fish fillet, spread out in the shape of blooming white lotus, drenched with a layer of bright juice, the appearance was similar to the one in Tianjifang City,

But once you eat it, you will know how much meticulous effort has been put into this recipe.
It melts in the mouth, the taste is incomparably delicious, and the spiritual energy in it is also very pure, obviously the fish used is also unusual.

The two of them ate the two meat and one vegetarian cleanly, and the aura in their bodies almost grew a little bit, and they wished they could meditate on the spot and refine it.

Ruhua had already entered the back kitchen at this time, and only Chu Miao and Gu Nianning were left in the hall. Although Ji Liancheng said that the spirit stones would not be accepted, it was impossible for Chu Miao and them to leave immediately after eating.

But if he left the Lingshi with the same price as the Tianji random building and left quietly, I'm afraid it would only offend people.

The two called Ruhua a few times, but there was no response, so they sat at the table and chatted about the three dishes, all of which were still unfinished.

After a while, Ji Liancheng's voice came from inside, "Don't leave after eating, wait for the wine to be delivered? You are really greedy!"

Chu Miao and Gu Nianning were helpless, they saluted and thanked the empty store, and after saying goodbye, they went out of the store.

Just as he was stepping out of the door, Ji Liancheng seemed to sigh, which was indistinct and unreal.

Two jars of Wuquan floated from the store into the hands of the two, and with a bang, the door was completely closed.

Chu Miao looked at the wine in her hand, and then at the random building that gradually disappeared into the formation, feeling even more weird in her heart.

Seeing that Chu Miao was very vigilant, Gu Nianning put away the wine and said, "Senior Ji is really a good person, no, he even gave us wine! You don't want me to grab it."

Chu Miao listened to Gu Nianning's half-hinting and half-true words, and thought of the fact that she might be able to deduce, she let go of her suspicions.

What's more, good things can't be stopped anyway, and bad things can't be stopped either. After putting away the wine, he walked back to the inn with Gu Nianning.

……

Behind the random building, in a large lotus pond, there is a platform made of Zhong Lingyu.

Ji Liancheng sat on the platform, closed his eyes and frowned, holding his finger in his hand, as if he was trying to calculate something, his face looked a little pale.

Ruhua sat obediently outside the lotus pond, seeing Ji Liancheng's state, he no longer dared to chatter like before, and even his eyes did not dare to flash randomly anymore.

After half a day, Ji Liancheng opened his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief, but he still looked preoccupied.

Ruhua hurriedly asked: "The shopkeeper, is she born from Su Hui? Why did she travel so far to practice, and she is not afraid of being careless..."

As she spoke, she found some bad luck, so she quickly poohed a few times, "Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji, she is a person with a peculiar destiny, and she will definitely live well."

Ji Liancheng on the platform returned to his usual appearance in a short while, and when he saw Ruhua, he started chatting again, his head hurting.

"What are you worrying about? If you don't practice, you will be beaten back to your original form. If you don't go to the advanced stage! If you can't beat the debt collector, I will drive you to Ji Lianyu."

Ruhua was taken aback, "Don't, don't, the shopkeeper has something to say, I won't go to your devil brother, I will practice hard, and I will definitely beat those annoying debt collectors away!"

Seeing that Ji Liancheng didn't speak after finishing speaking, he couldn't help pursing his lips, lowered his head and played with his sleeves and said:
"Actually, I'm only around four hundred years old. What's the rush for advancement? Our Wutong can live for ten thousand years, and my cultivation is already the fastest."

After finishing speaking, he slapped his head again, "Ah, I almost forgot, I am not the number one now, the one with the braids just now is the fastest in cultivation, he is only about two hundred years old, tsk tsk tsk, he has already practiced the twelfth level of Qi It’s true that the wave behind pushes the wave ahead, my Wutong family still has a lot of celestial attitudes!

Ever since Lord Chifeng ascended to the throne more than ten thousand years ago, it has become more and more difficult for our clan to cultivate a human form. This time, two geniuses, me and Xiao Zhuier, have emerged again and again, which is really a blessing for our clan..."

Ruhua shook her head and looked proudly at Ji Liancheng, only to find that there was no trace of Ji Liancheng on the Zhong Lingyu platform.

After muttering a few more words, Ruhua turned into a lush sycamore tree and stood beside the lotus pond. The breeze blew through the sycamore leaves, as if Ruhua was still chattering.
