Chapter 796 Disciples and Disciples
Li Changxiao traveled through the mountains and crossed the rivers. The mountains and rivers had not changed much compared to more than a hundred years ago. The green mountains were still green, and the clear waters were still clear. When he walked through the places he had visited a hundred years ago, there was nothing much left except a sigh in his heart.
After traveling slowly for several months, we finally arrived at Dayu City. The capital of Dayu State was moved once more than a hundred years ago. From then on, it settled in Xingbang City. The name was changed to "Dayu City". From the hasty settlement more than a hundred years ago to the current capital of a country, the atmosphere is completely different.
The area is more than seven or eight times larger, with a black tower in each of the east, south, west and north, implying the power of suppressing all directions. In the center of the city, the imperial palace is magnificent and covers a vast area.
A scene of prosperity and wealth. Li Changxiao walked to the street, and the ground was smooth and comfortable. He walked a long way without realizing it. He looked around and saw that the shops on both sides were open. There were many shining jades inlaid on the plaques.
It flashed and shone, and it was very eye-catching. Today, the Tianji Dao in Dayu is flourishing, and everything has traces of the Tianji Dao. The daily life is also very different from that of ordinary ancient people. It is very convenient, and even Li Changxiao was amazed at many places.
Li Changxiao returned to the old medical shop. He found that after more than a hundred years, the medical shop was still there. The front door was very clean, spotless, and there was not much difference from more than a hundred years ago.
Let's look at the restaurant opposite the clothing store. Li Changxiao remembered that the restaurant was called "Hao Xiang Restaurant" and was opened by a couple. It is still there today, and it is doing better and better, with a large number of stores.
Only a hundred years had passed, and the couple was probably long gone. Every time Li Changxiao fell asleep and regained consciousness, he would find that many familiar people were gone.
He walked into the restaurant and ordered some of the dishes he had eaten before. The restaurant was run by a couple. They were very young, about 20 years old. They were about the same age as the couple at that time. It was as if they were old friends again.
The man was cooking and the woman was keeping the account at the counter. The waiter brought the dishes to the table. The first dish was shredded pork with green peppers. This dish was a hard dish. It was cooked with a lot of heat and oil, and the aroma was rich. After a while, the second dish came to the table. It was a stewed fat meat. The fat meat was very particular. The lean meat and fat meat needed to be alternated, stacked one after another, and the meat was shaped like a pagoda.
This kind of meat is called "five-layer tower" by the people. It has five layers, one fat layer and one lean layer. Because the raw materials are relatively strict, the price of this dish is also a bit expensive. Li Changxiao picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The fat and lean meat tasted neutral and the aroma was overflowing, making it fat but not greasy and lean but not dry. He couldn't help but pick up the rice bowl and took a few big mouthfuls of the food.
After swallowing, he was completely satisfied. Li Changxiao smiled, thinking that the old taste was the best to stimulate the taste buds and fill the stomach. During this journey, when Li Changxiao had enough money, he was also very prosperous. When he came across high-end restaurants, he would go up and sit down and order some special food. Many of the food tasted really good, which made people feel refreshed. But after eating a few more bites and a few more meals, it was inevitable that the freshness would be lost.
On the contrary, this century-old shop’s dishes are not for the sake of being “new” or “strange”, but for filling the stomach. Instead, you will never tire of eating them, and the more you eat, the more delicious they become. In addition, the memories add flavor and color. When you eat them, you will have a different experience that others cannot understand.
Li Changxiao was quite pleased that the cooking skills and taste of the young couple he had saved had been passed down. That was good enough. Li Changxiao felt his pocket and found some money left, so he waved his hand and ordered three more dishes and some drinks.
A person sat alone and drank. He was having a great time, but also felt lonely. While he was eating, a group of soldiers in black armor rushed into the "Hao Xiang Restaurant". Passersby were shocked and left one after another. The young couple dared not say anything and looked at the door tremblingly.
A young man got off the sedan chair, looked around, and when he saw Li Changxiao, he immediately walked over in two or three steps, knelt on his knees, and said, "Grandmaster!"
Li Changxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, stopped eating, and looked at the person carefully. The young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome and resolute, with bright and clear eyes, but he was actually very cunning. Li Changxiao asked, "Grandmaster?"
The young man said, "Yes, you are my great master." Then he told the reason. It turned out that this young man was a disciple of the current monarch.
The ruler of Dayu is not based on blood, but on master, which is really strange. One lineage is passed down to another, and the master's inheritance includes many tests, such as traveling around the world and crossing the world, which are all tests of the character and thoughts of the disciples. So that they can become wise rulers in the future.
Moreover, Wang Ruyi set a strict condition. In contrast to his own lineage, he had to pass the examination to become an official. After entering the court as an official, he had to start from a small county magistrate and be promoted step by step. He could not take shortcuts and become lazy.
On the contrary, it stopped the delusion of someone ascending to heaven overnight. Those who could enter Wang Ruyi's school were all outstanding. The young man in front of him, named "Yuan Qingzhi", was a disciple of the emperor.
He was familiar with Dayu's history and knew that there was a medical shop on this street that was of great significance to my grandmother. Before her death, she had visited this medical shop more than a thousand times, as recorded in history books.
He was clever and guessed that this clinic must be related to his master's grandfather, so he sent people to keep an eye on the clinic, and whenever a person in white passed by the clinic and stopped in front of it, he would have people report to him.
After years of perseverance, today, a quick report was received that a "suspicious person" had appeared. Without saying anything more, he led the black-armored soldiers to the restaurant, where this scene had just occurred.
Li Changxiao looked at Yuan Qingzhi meaningfully. The little action and the little thought could not escape his eyes and ears. Someone was inspecting and reporting, he knew everything, but he just ignored it.
Yuan Qingzhi suddenly felt terrified. The gaze of the man in front of him seemed to see through him inside and out, making him feel like he was in a cold winter day without any clothes on.
Yuan Qingzhi said, "My great-grandson came in a hurry and was not thoughtful enough." He waved his hand and asked the black-armored soldiers to disperse. The restaurant became lively again.
Li Changxiao pinched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "This meal is on you."
