Big brother is as beautiful as scum [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 222

Now that Jing Li and Cang Qi are both Nascent Soul stage monks, their speed is naturally faster than in the past. When they arrived at the gate of the city, they were just in time for Chen Guangjing. There was no rush to come to the door.

Most of the Xing'an city are monks, but some mortals also live there. Therefore, in addition to shops with various magic tools and treasures, there is also a morning market like other ordinary cities. Jing Li follows the flow of food in the air. Scent, dragged Cang Qi to find a wonton shop smoothly.

The location of this wonton shop is not in the center, but it is also not far away. Jing Li is sitting right where you can see the street—Zhenqi Pavilion is right next to the street, and it is diagonally opposite to this wonton shop. If the door opens in a while, you can sit here can see.

There are many monks in this city, and there are many monks on weekdays. Ordinary residents who want to come to this city are used to it. Like ordinary people elsewhere, they trembled when they saw the monks.

He quickly brought two bowls of wontons, took the money from Jing Li, thanked him, and quickly left.

I don't know if it's because the quantity of wontons in this restaurant is already large, or the shopkeeper added some more on purpose. The big wontons with thin skin and filling are filled to the brim in the big porcelain bowl.

Jing Li scooped one up with a spoon and tasted it, no wonder the shop is full of people, the taste is really good.

There were also a few small porcelain jars on the table, all of which contained various seasonings, Jing Li didn't think too much, just added a spoonful of chili sauce into the bowl, and scooped up another wonton.

"puff!--"

Jing Li, who was so hot that his lungs were almost set on fire, didn't lift the bowl. He was looking for water, and he handed the cup to the corner of his mouth with one hand. Drink it up in one gulp, the hot feeling in the mouth and lungs will disappear, but there will be a hint of coolness and sweetness.

Jing Li thought about it for a while, and looked at Cang Qi with some uncertainty, "Jiuye Lingjiang?"

Cang Qi nodded, and put his bowl of wontons in front of Jing Li, replacing Jing Li's original bowl.

Jing Li looked at his bowl of red wontons, and his eyelids twitched. Cang Qi’s diet has always been light, and he couldn’t even stand the spiciness. Cang Qi probably couldn’t do it anymore. Seeing that Cang Qi had already picked up a spoon and put a wonton into his mouth.

When he let go of the bowl just now, he put the spoon back into the bowl. Cang Qi exchanged the two wontons without changing the spoon. Seeing him directly using his original spoon, Jing Li felt a little uncomfortable Yes, I glanced at the spoon in Cang Qi's hand for several times, and finally couldn't hold back and said, "Well, brother, I'll go get you another spoon..."

Cang Qi lowered her eyes and responded, waiting for the wonton in her mouth to be swallowed before opening her mouth. "Need not."

Jing Li didn't bother to pay attention to the question of whether Cang Qi could eat spicy food at the moment, and moved uncomfortably on the stool, and couldn't help but glance to the side several times, until Cang Qi had eaten the whole bowl of spicy food. After eating the wontons, the bowl in front of him remained still.

Cang Qi looked at the wontons that had been soaked for too long and had become mushy, raised his hand and gave Jing Li a brain collapse, and said with a smile, "Who was crying for hunger just now?"

Jing Li's face became hot, and he subconsciously picked up a spoon to scoop up wontons, but Cang Qi held his hand and pulled him up, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something else."

Jing Li glanced at him blankly, then looked down at the table, only to find that the wontons had been soaked in the water for too long, and they had long been mushy.

It's still early, and there are plenty of early shops in the city.

Jing Li looked at the salted bean curd in front of him, then at the shrimp dumplings and scones on his left, then at the siu mai and crystal cakes on his right, and touched his nose. His senior brother really touched his preferences. be clear...

Because the breakfast was rich in variety, it took Jing Li a long time to eat this meal. When Jing Li finished his breakfast, Cang Qi raised his eyes to look at the sky, guessing that it was almost time, got up to pay the bill, and took Jing Li to the table. Li walked towards Zhenqi Pavilion.

Almost all the shops on both sides of the street have opened their doors now, and the pedestrians on the road are much more lively than when they first entered the city. Although they are not so crowded, they are not far behind.

Jing Li was pulled by Cang Qi, still a little puzzled, "There are quite a lot of people in Xing'an City."

It's just a medium-sized city, and the flow of people is almost catching up with Qiyang City.

Cang Qi glanced at both sides, and noticed that most of the people around were traveling in the opposite direction to them, but walked inward, and then looked up at the crowd coming, and found that the end of this road was exactly where they entered the city. The city gates, that is, are mostly outsiders like them.

After crossing two streets and turning a corner, there is the small building of Zhenqi Pavilion.

Just as Cang Qi thought, the gate has been opened to both sides, and there are two guards standing on each side of the gate.

Jing Li raised his face and looked at this small building. Compared with the branch in Qiyang City, the scale of this one in Xing'an City is naturally much smaller. Also exquisite.

As soon as the two of them entered the building, a boy from the seventh floor of Qi Refining came over to guide them attentively. When Jing Li said that he was looking for an auctioneer named Xia Lan, he hurriedly led the two of them to the private room upstairs. Li met the steward here.

After the steward heard the little boy relay their intentions, he nodded, waved his hand to signal the little boy to back down, and waited until only the three of them were left in the room, then said, "Just a few days ago, I did receive a call from Xia Lan." The summons said that there will be two people coming over then, and it seems to be the two."

Jing Li nodded and asked, "Miss Xia said that there has been news of the Drunken Cloud Emerald Stone Essence, where is it?"

The manager stroked his beard and said, "I'm afraid this matter is a bit troublesome."

Jing Li was taken aback, "Why did the manager say that? Could it be that the thing is in some extremely dangerous place?"

Cang Qi suddenly thought of the large number of people pouring into the city that he saw on the road just now, and frowned slightly. Could it be that all those people came because of this?

But judging from their direction, it seems that they are not coming to Zhenqi Pavilion.

Seeing that Jing Li had lost his mind, the steward quickly waved his hands and said, "Hey, I didn't make it clear, it's not what you think."

After finishing speaking, he straightened out his thoughts before continuing.

"I, Zhenqi Pavilion, will definitely try my best to complete the matter for the guests. Since I accepted the commission from the two, we have also sent a lot of people to inquire about the news." After making a small advertisement, the manager started to get down to business, "The Drunken Cloud Emerald Essence is extremely rare. We sent out so many people, and we will only get the news not long ago. I wonder if the two of you have heard of Shanhai City?"

Jing Li was a little dazed, he had never heard of Shan Hai City, but Shan Hai Jing knew about it...

Cang Qi thought for a moment, "Demon City?"

"Exactly!" The steward clapped his hands together, "Exactly the Demon City!"

Seeing that Jing Li was not clear about Zhuli, he hurriedly explained, "Although you can see traces of the Yaozu in many places, most of the Yaozu don't like to have too much contact with the outside world, and even if they come out, they may not communicate with others. The Shanhai City is the main gathering place of the monster race, and all the people living in the city are the monster race, so it is difficult for outsiders to enter."

"...So, what you mean is that the Drunken Cloud Jade Stone Spirit is now in the hands of the Yaozu?"

The steward nodded, and then said, "Although it is usually difficult to enter Shanhai City, this time there is a good opportunity, but I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome to get the Drunken Cloud Jade Stone Essence."

"?"

Don't tell him that the thing is in the hands of the patriarch of the demon clan, who is heavily guarded...

Facts have proved that Jing Li's crow's mouth is always a good spirit but not a bad spirit. Although the facts are slightly different from what he guessed, they are still the same.

"The old city lord of Shanhai City is said to be the third expert among the monster clan. He has already cultivated in the fusion stage hundreds of years ago. None of the people in the city will end well." The steward sighed for a moment about the strength of the city lord, and when Jing Li heard the words "integration period" and felt that this trip was hopeless, he suddenly changed the subject and said "The current city lord is his son. This city lord and his wife are very affectionate, but the city lord's wife was seriously injured in an unknown place in the early years, and she has never recovered. I heard that it is even worse now, and there is no cure. If you don't use this method, I'm afraid it will disappear."

This topic was jumping too fast, Jing Li was stunned for a moment before he realized it, hesitatingly asked, "Could it be that the city lord offered a reward to the whole Dongling Prefecture in order to save his wife?" Then the Drunken Cloud Emerald Essence happened to be the reward?

"That's not the case." The steward waved his hands and said, "This city lord has a beloved daughter under his knees. The city lord and his wife love this daughter very much. Knowing that time is running out, the city lord's wife wants to choose a good son-in-law for her beloved daughter. In order to be able to take care of her beloved daughter after I leave, the Drunken Cloud Jade Stone Essence you need is the dowry."

Jing Li: "..."

The whole room fell silent in an instant.

It took a while before someone broke the silence.

"……bride price?"

The steward took a sip of tea comfortably, nodded to Jing Li, and said that the latter heard it right, it was a dowry gift, and then explained, "The city lord has no children under his knees, and only this daughter, naturally he will not let his daughter Those who marry outside must recruit a son-in-law."

After speaking, he glanced regretfully at the two young talents sitting across from each other. As the steward of the Zhenqi Pavilion, he had a vicious and sophisticated vision. When he saw the hands of the two, he knew that they were a couple. Naturally, I won't go to this muddy water again, otherwise, I can give it a try, maybe I have what I want, and I can get a city and a beautiful girl for nothing.

Although it is different from the Longtan and Tiger's Den originally envisaged, the difficulty is more than that.

How can they do this? They can't steal the bride price from other girls, can they?Besides, there is such a master who is suspected to be in the Mahayana period. Even if he wanted to snatch it, he would probably be slapped to death before putting the thing in his pocket.

Otherwise, I'd better look for it and see if there are any other places, the difficulty factor is too high...

Thinking like this, Jing Li's eyes fell on the steward who was drinking tea from a teacup, "...Besides that, is there any other news?"

The steward shook his head regretfully, "To be honest, Drunken Cloud Emerald Essence is hard to come by, and if you can find one, you are a lucky star..."

How can this be good...

Jing Li frowned in confusion, feeling a little tricky.

"Since there is such a movement in Shanhai City this time, there are many people compared to those who went there?" Cang Qi asked suddenly.

The steward was a little puzzled, but still replied, "Naturally, after all, apart from the Shanhai City represented behind this lady, it is said that this lady herself is also a beauty that is rarely seen in a hundred years, and she has a special physique. There are so many people, once the news is released, those people will naturally flock to it.”

Cang Qi nodded slightly, expressing understanding, put a storage bag on the table, and pulled Jing Li to leave.

Jing Li was in the fog, and seeing Cang Qi's normal expression, he seemed to have made up his mind, so he couldn't help wondering, "Brother, what did you think of?"

Cang Qi raised his eyebrows and said with a chuckle, "We don't need it, there are always people who need it."

Jing Li: "???"

Nine Flowers Sect, Jingtao Peak——

Chen Sha, who was practicing, opened her eyes suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, a jade talisman appeared in her hand, and when she brushed her fingertips, she saw that it was Jing Li's message——

"Brother Chensha, are you interested in finding a Taoist companion?"
