Sun Ji’s braised noodles and offal are still as delicious as before, or it is more like the taste of hometown. After coming to this world, Ning’an County is undoubtedly Ji Yuan’s hometown here.
In the past few years, the location of Sun Kee has not changed, the taste has not changed, the portion has not changed, and the price has not changed. Except that the stall owner has become older, everything remains the same.
After Ji Yuan finished the meal, he paid the noodles and exchanged greetings with Old Man Sun before getting up and heading to Miao Sifang.
Two of the store clerks in the temple outside the building changed, but the shopkeeper, a businessman like him, still recognized Ji Yuan after a few careful glances, and even remembered the general dim sum and Huadiao wine that Ji Yuan liked to buy back then.
Even Ji Yuan was a little surprised by this. After all, unlike Old Man Sun, who was mostly a regular customer, the daily flow of customers outside the temple was quite large. He walked out of the temple carrying two boxes of snacks and two bottles of Huadiao wine. When I was upstairs, even though I had already figured out how to get through the orifice, I still felt comfortable about it. It is always good to have someone remember me.
People who do business like this will pay special attention to some special customers. In a small place like Ning’an County, Ji Yuan is a person who needs special attention in the eyes of the shopkeeper, regardless of Ji Yuan’s own affairs. , to say the least, this is also a good friend of the No. 1 Scholar.
When Ji Yuan walked out of the outer building of the temple and walked towards the City God’s Temple, the young new guy in the building asked the shopkeeper confused.
“Shopkeeper, who is Mr. Ji just now, why are you so enthusiastic?”
The shopkeeper turned to look at the waiter in the store. Before he could say anything, a diner next to him spoke first. This person had just exchanged a few words with Ji Yuan.
“He is Mr. Jiyuanji who used to live in Ju’an Xiaoge. Haven’t you heard that story too? The story of the jujube tree that bore fruit overnight to send off the teacher.”
“Huh? There really is such a person!”
“Hehehe…”
The shopkeeper at the counter smiled and shook his head, while the diner was happy.
“Hey, second brother, you don’t believe that? Did you think I was lying to you when I said I had tasted those April dates?”
“How can that be possible, haha…”
The waiter excused himself with a vague answer, then quickly took the towel and went to clear the table elsewhere.
On the contrary, shopkeeper Dian sighed with emotion.
“Today, some pilgrims who came to offer morning incense told me that the Tianniu Square was full of fragrance, and the fragrance of jujube spread to the surrounding squares and shops along the street. It turned out that Mr. Ji was back!”
The diner who had just teased the waiter was shocked when he heard this.
“Is this really happening?”
“Well, it must be true!”
Not to mention the simple discussion about Ji Yuan in the building outside the temple, he is now heading to the Chenghuang Temple with snacks and wine to visit Song Chenghuang.
When I came back to Ning’an County, I still needed this courtesy, a box of snacks and a bottle of wine. When I left the City God’s Temple, I walked with the old City God who showed up in the county and chatted for a while, and then we said goodbye to each other. .
After finishing these necessary things, Ji Yuan will return to Ju’an Xiaoge…
In the evening, classes were over at the county middle school. After Yin Qing took the lead in saluting the Master, the students dispersed one after another. Yin Qing and the little fox also hurried home briskly.
Now Yin Qing is already eighteen according to the common calculation of age in this world. He has grown from a child to a teenager and from a teenager to a young man. With Yin Qing’s knowledge and intelligence, he can go to a large academy to study at any time. .
In front of others, Yin Qing behaved like a scholar who was steady and diligent. He would run very fast whenever he went to alleys with few people, and he didn’t even catch his breath all the way back to Tianniufang.
As soon as I arrived at Tianniufang, I smelled the fragrance of flowers again.
“Ah, the fragrance is still there, it’s not fake. Little fox, let’s go see the jujube tree.”
“Call me Hu Yun!”
“Okay, okay, Hu Yun!”
The fox grinned hoarsely.
At the second half of Tianniufang, the red fox also jumped off Yin Qing’s back. One person and one fox walked towards Ju’an Pavilion. When he turned the alley, he suddenly found the courtyard door of Ju’an Pavilion. It seems to be open.
“Hey! Is the door open?”
Yin Qing was surprised, and the fox jumped onto Yin Qing’s shoulder, looked at it, and then spoke in confusion.
“Is there a thief?”
“Stupid, the thief can just climb over the wall. Do you need to open the door? Besides, there are jujube trees there.”
One person and one fox quickened their pace as they spoke, feeling an inexplicable sense of anticipation in their hearts.
When I arrived outside the gate of Ju’an Pavilion, I looked in and saw Ji Yuan sitting in front of a stone table reading a book. There were also some pastries from the temple’s outer building on the table.
“Mr. Ji! Woo…”
Yin Qing and Hu Yun both screamed in surprise, and the latter even let out a fox cry in confusion.
Ji Yuan put down the book and smiled with Yin Qing, pointed to the snacks on the table, and nodded with the same smile to the somewhat uneasy Red Fox.
“You both come in, I can’t finish all the snacks in the temple building by myself.”
Yin Qing cheered and entered the courtyard with Red Fox. When she sat down in front of the stone table, she couldn’t stop talking. While eating, she started chatting with Ji Yuan.
Red Fox was a little reserved at first, and did not dare to speak human language. It was not until Ji Yuan took the initiative to talk to him that he began to speak human language, and talked to Yin Qing about some interesting things about learning human language.
That night, after Yin Qing fell asleep, Red Fox came alone outside Ju’an Pavilion, jumped lightly on the wall and jumped into the courtyard,
Ji Yuan hadn’t rested yet, so he was sitting on the stone table in the courtyard, holding a jade stick and drawing something with his hands, which was regarded as modifying the description of the old dragon’s method of receiving objects from the universe.
“Mr. Ji!”
“Yeah.”
Ji Yuan did not turn around to look at Hu Yun, but still gestured with the jade sign.
“Mr. Ji, I am going back to Niokui Mountain to tell the tiger about your return.”
“Oh.”
Red Fox raised his head and carefully looked at Ji Yuan’s unchanged face.
“Then you agree?”
Ji Yuan turned to look at him and smiled.
“Go ahead, go ahead.”
The Red Fox scholar held his paws and bowed to Ji Yuan, then immediately jumped out of the courtyard wall and ran towards the outside of Tianniufang.
Under the starry sky at night, there was a red fox running fast on the road outside Ning’an County, dragging its big fluffy tail, all the way to Niukui Mountain, reaching the foot of the mountain in more than a quarter of an hour, and nimbly darting into the forest.
About two hours later, a fierce tiger roar came from a cave on the mountain wall deep in the old forest of Niukui Mountain.
“Ouch…”
The fallen leaves and branches outside the cave were swept away by the wind blowing from inside.
The red fox clung to the cave wall tremblingly, not daring to move. The hair on its body was pulled straight as if it was facing a strong wind in the roar of the tiger.
A pair of green tiger eyes emitted a breathtaking light in the darkness.
“You said Mr. Ji is back!?”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah!”
Red Fox nodded quickly in response.
“Bang…bang…bang…bang…”
Lu Shanjun’s huge tiger body walked back and forth in the cave, and the soft hay under his feet was stepped on, making bursts of noise, showing a kind of excitement and a touch of impatience.
“Mr. Ji is back, Mr. Ji is back! Will he come to see me? Should I go and see Mr. Ji?”
“Bang…bang…bang…bang…”
The tiger’s heavy body stepped on the cave floor as if it were stepping on Hu Yun’s heart. Lu Shanjun did not ask any questions, so he just dared to lie quietly on the edge of the cave.
In fact, Hu Yun now felt a strange and interesting feeling in his heart. He had never seen the most terrifying Lu Shanjun in Niu Kui Mountain before.
The tiger turned its head and tail and kept muttering.
“No, no, no, I’m a tiger spirit and I’m so big. If I don’t scare people to death if I go down the mountain like this, the city gods and the likes won’t let me go either…”
Suddenly the tiger turned its head and stared at the red fox. Hu Yun, who was snickering secretly, almost had his hair stand on end, thinking that he had been caught snickering.
“Mr. Ji just came back today, right? Did he mention me? Did he say he would come and see me?”
“Uh…that…”
Hu Yun’s heart was racing with anxiety. Mr. Ji didn’t seem to mention Tiger Tiger, let alone come to see him. But if he disappoints Tiger Mountain Lord Lu now, wouldn’t he be eaten?
“Well… Mr. Ji should have come back last night. The jujube trees were in bloom last night… Then I went to the small pavilion tonight. Mr. Ji seemed to have known that I was going and agreed that I would inform the mountain. Jun is back…”
“What then?”
A big tiger face was less than two feet away from the red fox, causing the latter to tremble and swallow.
‘No more…’
“Oh oh oh, it’s all my fault. It’s all my fault. I just refined Henggu and couldn’t speak fluently. I saw Mr. Ji was so nervous that I couldn’t speak. When I heard that I was asked to go back to the mountain and tell the tiger, I couldn’t be more anxious. I jumped out of the small courtyard impatiently. Now that I think about it, he probably has something else to say. It’s all because I was too nervous…”
“You… roar…”
The tiger roared again when it got impatient, but there was not much anger behind the roar. Instead, its excited body also calmed down a bit.
“Hey…I’m afraid sir didn’t mention me…”
As soon as the slightly subdued voice fell, Ji Yuan, who had been leaning outside the cave for a long time, couldn’t help but laugh. The tiger spirit Lu Shanjun who had been so intimidating to him back then still had this side to him.
“I haven’t seen you for many years. Are you okay, Mr. Lu Shan?”
Ji Yuan’s voice entered the cave, making Hu Yun and Lu Shanjun inside both stunned. Then there was a strong surprise, the former was more surprised, the latter was more happy.
Brush~
A huge black shadow emerged from the cave, revealing an eye-catching tiger that was twice the size of an ordinary tiger under the moonlight.
The tiger jumped out of the cave and saw Ji Yuan leaning on the mountain wall. He immediately brought his hind limbs together to support his forequarters off the ground. The left palm of his forelimb pressed his right palm, hiding his claws in the flesh pad. If he didn’t have long sleeves, he would wear tiger hair. Cover the claws, raise the claws and forehead and bow.
“Student Lu Shanjun, please go to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com to meet you!”
Although common people also perform salutes in their daily lives, they are actually simplified. Lu Shanjun is obviously a big tiger, but from the angle of the bow to the posture of the salute, it is the most standard long salute, which is generally only used in Academy students are so solemn when they meet their master or disciples meet their mentor.
When Ji Yuan first came to this world, he didn’t understand the daily etiquette clearly enough. He received a similar courtesy from Mr. Lu Shan outside the mountain temple before parting, and he had no choice but to accept it now.
“Tiger, please wake up quickly, Ji has never taught you anything, you deserve it!”
“Sir, how can I say that he didn’t teach me anything when he gave me advice on En Tong Reconstruction? Now I have made progress in my practice, and the spiritual platform has become clearer and brighter. Mr. just doesn’t like me, a tiger monster. This gift is for me. But it can’t be saved.”
The tiger did not forget to raise his eyebrows and clasp his paws after bowing, and the whole etiquette was meticulous.
Ji Yuan tried to persuade the tiger spirit, but his body did not move. He stood there and received this gift, which also made Lu Shanjun secretly happy.
“Okay, in that case, I am in a good mood today, so I will tell you the essence of demon cultivation, and the little fox in the cave can come out too!”
Anyway, I have talked with Lao Long several times in the past two years, and I still have enough to survive.
Lu Shanjun’s tiger eyes shone brightly, and the joy in his heart turned into ecstasy at this moment. He understood the meaning of this sentence, which was as heavy as a thousand stones.
As for the red fox who jumped out of the cave, he was still struggling with the idea of teaching “Hu Yun”, but he didn’t have the courage to correct Ji Yuan.
