Chapter 999

After the shopkeeper left, Meng asked, "Xiaohua, when … when did you come to this restaurant?"

"Five years ago?"

Zhang Xiaohua said meaningfully, "Back then, I spent fifty copper coins to have a meal here!"

"Hahaha, fifty copper coins?"

Meng gradually understood the meaning of fifty copper coins after leaving the Chanting Incense Cult. She couldn't help but chuckle. But before she could finish laughing, she suddenly woke up and grabbed Zhang Xiaohua's arm, "Xiaohua … you … you said five years ago?

Wasn't that when I met you? "

"Yes, that's right!"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded solemnly, "It was five years ago when I met you and Shitai Shitai outside Poyang Town!"

"God bless me, god bless me …" Meng's eyes were almost filled with tears when she heard that. She clasped her hands together and thanked God sincerely.

Meng's memories started when she met Shitai Shitai. If they could find the place where she met Shitai Shitai, they would most likely be able to find her origins. However, Meng followed Shitai Shitai back to the Chanting Incense Cult and never came out again. Shitai Shitai also didn't tell her where she met Meng. Later, Shitai Shitai was killed and Meng didn't know where she met Meng.

The Great Master Chang Geng of the Dalin Temple wrote Poyang Town's name on the list. But before they could find Poyang Town, they gave up. If they didn't meet Qu Zhigao at Dragon Mountain and talk about Poyang Town, they probably wouldn't have come here to take a look!

"Then … why don't we hurry over and find that ferry and thatched cottage?" Meng was a little anxious.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled, "Since we're already here and Qu Sanfeng isn't here, the mysterious person behind us probably doesn't know where to start.

Moreover, the most important thing is that when you left with Nun Jing Xuan that day, I came out from there alone. I have long forgotten the path I took. If I don't investigate clearly, where do you want me to find it? "

"Yes, I understand!" Meng nodded.

As he spoke, the shopkeeper walked over with a jug of wine in his hand. He sat down beside Zhang Xiaohua and smiled. "Have you been here before, Dear Guest?

Forgive my poor eyesight, but I did not think of it! "

"Haha, there are so many people coming in and out of the restaurant every day. If you remember, you would have already …"

"You have a point. Sigh, back then …"

When the shopkeeper saw that an outsider from Jianghu actually remembered him from his early years, he felt rather emotional. While drinking, he bragged about his story. In fact, it was very simple. It was just that the shopkeeper was nimble and quick-witted. Thus, he won the appreciation of the old shopkeeper and betrothed his only daughter to him.

While the shopkeeper was showing off, the waiter served a few secret dishes and the spicy chicken offal. Looking at the spicy chicken offal that was already in her memory, Zhang Xiaohua was very emotional even before she ate it. That was then and this was now. In just five years, the vicissitudes of life had changed so much!

"Eh?"

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, your chicken offal is obviously much lesser than before. Why is it more expensive?

As a person … it's better to be more honest! "

Who knew that the shopkeeper didn't blush at all. He shook his head and said, "You don't know. This dish was left behind by the old shopkeeper. How would I dare to smash the signboard?

It's just that in these few years, the price of pork has skyrocketed. Not to mention other things, the amount of pork that ordinary people eat has increased exponentially … "

"The price of pork has increased?

What does it have to do with chicken offal? "

"Dear customer, if the price of pork has increased, won't the people who eat meat have to spend more money?

Where will the money come from?

It's nothing more than the price of rice and the price of things to buy. If these things increase, won't the price of the people who buy these things increase as well?

Then … not to mention other things, won't the price of the ingredients, feed, and waiter in the other shop increase as well?

Since the price of feed will increase, won't the price of the chicken offal or chicken offal in the other shop increase as well?

If that's the case, won't the spicy chicken offal in front of you also increase in price? "

Zhang Xiaohua was flabbergasted and speechless. He'd been wholeheartedly focused on cultivating the immortal dao and had never imagined that the affairs of the world would be so complicated. How could a small restaurant like this contain so much knowledge? How could it reveal so many things in the world …? Karma and reason!

Unknowingly, the hand of karma in the Heavenly Dao Galaxy became a little clearer.

"Dear customer, dear customer?"

When he heard the manager's call, Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have awakened from a dream. He was jolted awake from his immersion in the comprehension of karma. "Come, come, guest. Try my spicy chicken giblets. Does it still taste the same?

Although the chef has changed, the taste should still be the same! "

Under the shopkeeper's hospitality, Zhang Xiaohua, who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, also ate two mouthfuls. As for the taste, please, it was all spicy. Back then, Zhang Xiaohua had drunk a few pots of tea. How could she taste it now?

As for the other secret dishes, she only tasted them briefly. It was the same for Meng. After eating a little, she put down her chopsticks. She still wanted to hurry and find out about her origins.

"Dear customer?

Is it not delicious? "Seeing Zhang Xiaohua and Meng put down their food after a few mouthfuls, the shopkeeper was very surprised.

"Haha, it's nothing. It tastes the same as before. It's just that … I'm not hungry or thirsty. I only came in because I saw an old friend!"

"Oh, by the way, shopkeeper, is there a Mountain God Temple around Poyang Town?"

"Mountain God Temple?" The shopkeeper was stunned and said casually, "No, there isn't.

I've lived here for more than twenty years. I've never heard of any Mountain God Temple! "

"How is that possible?"

Zhang Xiaohua said curiously, "I've been there before. It's … on a mountain outside the town!"

"Oh, I see."

The shopkeeper patted his forehead and said, "Dear customer, you're talking about the small temple on Python Mountain, which is more than ten miles west of the town. That small temple has been abandoned for a long time. As for whether it's a Mountain God Temple or not, I don't know!"

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought of this small temple!"

"It's west of the town. Haha, that's great!"

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaohua reached into his bosom and took out a silver ingot. He smiled and said, "The food is still the same as before. Not bad at all. The last time I came here, I only spent fifty copper coins. This time, no matter what, I cannot be stingy!"

When the shopkeeper saw the silver ingot, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Dear customer, you don't have to be like this. I already said that it's 05% off. You only need to pay one silver ingot …"

"One silver ingot?

Or 05% off? "

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. When she was at Huan Xi Manor, her monthly allowance was only three coins. However, now that she thought about it, perhaps her monthly allowance at Huan Xi Manor would increase as well.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't say much. She threw the silver ingot on the table and stood up to leave.

The shopkeeper quickly stood up to send her off. When they reached the entrance of the restaurant, Zhang Xiaohua looked at the street not far away. She turned her head and asked, "Oh right, I remember there's a ruffian in town called Brother Fan. I wonder if he's …"

"Brother Fan?" The shopkeeper was surprised, "You even remember this customer?

However, that guy didn't have a good ending. Two years ago, he blackmailed a young master. The young master's family came back to seek revenge. He was buried in the ground and skinned alive … "

"Sigh, the heavens are fair. It's not that they don't want revenge, it's just that it's not time yet!"

Zhang Xiaohua sighed and leaped onto his horse. Together with Dream, they galloped towards Python Mountain, which was located in the western part of town.

Poyang Town. Zhang Xiaohua met her dream five years ago. She also met her second brother who was a bodyguard. Most importantly, she found a money pouch that could store items and a jade slip that could concoct elixirs. That day, Zhang Xiaohua vaguely suspected that Jing Xuan came to Poyang Town for the jade slip and the money pouch. Now, he was even more certain that Shitai Shitai came to Poyang Town because she obtained the immortal records of the Incense Cult. However … Shitai Shitai didn't pass the test in the Refining Heart Cave or didn't obtain the inheritance of the Incense Cult. Therefore, she couldn't use her divine sense to discover the cave under the mysterious restriction and returned empty-handed.

Poyang Town … was also the beginning of her dream's story. How could Zhang Xiaohua not have a deep impression of it?

Zhang Xiaohua and her dream arrived at the town within the time it took to eat a meal. Of course, it was not winter and everything in the fields had changed. Zhang Xiaohua came to Poyang Town from the Mountain God Temple by following the footprints of martial arts masters. Most of the footprints were in the fields. At this time, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't recognize whether it was the mountain he had been to before or not.

When they got close, Zhang Xiaohua released her divine sense. Seeing the Mountain God Temple on the mountain was still shabby, she said with a smile, "It's really here. In my impression, it was a high mountain. Now it looks just like a big mound. Compared with Lingering Fragrance Peak, it is really ugly!"

"Where is the Mountain God Temple?" Dream asked.

"You have to go up the mountain and go around several peaks to see it!"

"Alas, five years ago, you were still a child. It's really not easy for you to come down from the mountain."

Dream sighed and said, "By the way, I remember that master told you the way out when we left. How did you get so far away from the town?"

Zhang Xiaohua touched her nose and asked, "When Shitai Shitai took you away, how did you get out?"

"Nonsense, of course …" Dream was stunned when she said this. She laughed and said, "I understand. Master took me there with Qing Gong. You … how did you know Qing Gong at that time?"

Then her eyes softened and she said, "It's hard for you, Xiaohua. You actually … returned to the town from the ferry with your own strength!"

"Hehe, that's right. I, Shaoxia, have been outstanding since childhood. Even the teacher of our Guozhuang House didn't dare to accept me. He was afraid that he would lead me astray!"

"Hahaha," Dream laughed and her gloominess disappeared.

While they were talking, the two of them went up the Python Mountain. After a while, they arrived at the Mountain God Temple. Zhang Xiaohua released her divine sense and slowly found the direction according to her memory. She pointed at the place where the setting sun fell and said, "Dream, over there … is the place where we first met!"
