Chapter 472: Chapter 166: The Art of Sorcery and Gu! Are you eating a pig? You’re eating a Taoist! (A 10,000-word Chapter asking for subscriptions)_3
It was unclear whether Yun Jiuqing’s luck was simply good or it just a coincidence, but soon after Yun Jiuqing uttered those words, several people inside the shop appeared, looking as if they had eaten their fill, their faces gleaming with grease and contentment, as they walked out.
Upon seeing this, Yun Jiuqing was even more delighted, "Daoist Priest Fan! And that young Taoist priest! Come quickly!!!"
With one hand, Fan Wu placed it on the shoulder of a commoner in front, giving a gentle push. This push did not topple the man over but merely shifted his body to the side by a few steps.
Fan Wu thus forcefully made his way through the crowd...
Bullying his way into creating a path for himself.
This scene caused Xing Fengzi, who was following behind Fan Wu, to click his tongue in astonishment.
Just as Xing Fengzi... was about to follow closely behind Fan Wu, he heard Daoist Fan Wu suddenly say, "Don’t you find these people a bit strange?"
Xing Fengzi realized Daoist Fan Wu was speaking to him; he hurriedly responded while following behind Fan Wu and entering further inside, "Daoist Fan Wu, what do you mean?"
He heard Fan Wu say, "Ordinary people, when pushed so rudely by me, would feel either anger or fear, yet did you see any other emotion in these people apart from greed for food?"
Xing Fengzi was startled and he glanced back and forth behind him.
In an instant, he was thoroughly shocked.
Because he realized that Daoist Fan Wu was right—those who were rudely shoved aside by Daoist Fan Wu did not show any anger, fear, or even surprise on their faces... It seemed they only displayed intense craving for the food and desire for full stomachs.
Bizarre! Extremely bizarre indeed!
Xing Fengzi immediately became vigilant, and while on guard, he also felt very ashamed that he needed several reminders from Daoist Fan Wu before he noticed something was amiss here.
Had everything he learned at Di Zu Guan been in vain?
"Daoist Fan Wu, what should we do now..." Xing Fengzi tentatively asked.
"Let’s go inside and sit down," Fan Wu replied: "Since Yun Jiuqing has already secured entry, we naturally should sit down for a while, we can’t just come here for nothing, can we?"
Having said that.
Fan Wu had already stepped into the shop and then found a rare empty seat.
Next to him was Yun Jiuqing, and without any hesitation, he sat down.
Seeing this.
Xing Fengzi could only put aside his curiosity and sit down with a hint of caution.
As for Old Blue Ox? It found a corner on the roadside and laid down leisurely.
In the shop, someone dressed like a Shop Assistant scurried over to the table where Fan Wu and the others were sitting, then, with an eager face, he addressed Fan Wu and the others, "Dear guests, what would you like to eat? Our establishment has been running in Neihai County for..."
"We’ll have everything!" Yun Jiuqing slapped a silver note on the table, and the shop assistant’s eyes bulged at the amount written on it.
Yun Jiuqing continued, "Whether it’s cheap or expensive, high-selling or low-selling, bring out one of everything! I don’t like making choices, I like having it all!!"
"Sss!" The Shop Assistant hurriedly collected the silver note and then bowed repeatedly, "Rest assured, guest, I’ll let the kitchen know right away, to give priority to your table and serve you all the dishes our shop offers!"
"Humph!" Watching the Shop Assistant’s retreating figure, Yun Jiuqing poured herself a cup of complimentary tea.
After taking a sip, she uttered, "Never would have thought I’d be this lucky this time, it must be because of that uncle of mine with the abysmal luck!"
Then she seemed to notice that something was off with the expressions of Daoist Priest Fan and Xing Fengzi.
Oh no, that’s not right...
Daoist Priest Fan’s expression was, in fact, not unusual, but Xing Fengzi’s face showed a hint of concern.
Yun Jiuqing could vaguely make out that Xing Fengzi’s face bore traces of apprehension and caution. Seeing his expression, Yun Jiuqing was quite curious.
She couldn’t help but ask, "Could it be that the Taoist priests from Di Zu Guan have a precept against eating meat?"
Xing Fengzi shook his head, "Although we cannot eat some kinds of meat, most meat is permissible."
"Then why the long face?" Yun Jiuqing was even more puzzled.
Xing Fengzi asked weakly, "Yun Scholar, haven’t you noticed anything unusual here?"
"Ah?" Yun Jiuqing was taken aback, "Is there? Isn’t it lively here? Nothing seems wrong to me!"
"It’s excessively lively!" Xing Fengzi reminded her.
Yun Jiuqing expressed her surprise, "Really? In my memory, it has always been bustling like usual!"
Xing Fengzi stated, "What I mean is... the patrons of this establishment are too devout. Yun Scholar, do you see any other expressions on their faces? Can you detect any different emotions in their eyes?"
Upon hearing Xing Fengzi’s remarks, Yun Jiuqing truly took a serious look at the movements and expressions of some people around her.
Upon closer inspection, Yun Jiuqing couldn’t help but be startled.
It seemed...
Indeed there was something slightly off.
