In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the highest observatory in Daying City, this majestic city sandwiched between mountains seems to wake up from its sleep and suddenly becomes noisy and lively.
The last animal cart loaded with night incense had just driven out of the city gate, and many shops had removed their door panels. More and more pedestrians appeared on the streets, and they were busy and hurried.
The waiter at the bun shop on the street placed the steaming steamer on the table stand, and the rising white mist instantly merged into the cool air.
There were two or three shouts not far away, but they were greetings from familiar neighbors.
Wang Chen walked leisurely along the long street, feeling the unique smoke and smoke in this world, feeling calm and peaceful.
This is the sixteenth day since he came to Daying City.
In the past half month, Wang Chen, with the support of the Xi family, straightened out the internal affairs of the Shangxun Tianshi Pavilion and established his authority as the guardian Tianshi.
Although he doesn't really hold the power, at least he won't be underestimated or regarded as weak.
Wang Chen did not rush to move the deacons below to avoid further intensifying the conflict with the local forces headed by Wu Jingwei.
But he will not sit still in Tianshi Pavilion and let his opponent make moves.
On the other hand, Wang Chen would not completely believe in the Xi family.
Just yesterday, Wang Chen announced his retreat and then activated the defensive array of Tianshi Pavilion.
In fact, he quietly sneaked out of the mansion this morning.
Wang Chen holds the control token of Xuntian Master Pavilion's magic circle in his hand, and has practiced the hidden magic to an extremely high level. It is easy to hide it from the eyes and ears of the mansion.
At this moment, Wang Chen was one foot shorter than before, his cultivation level was only at the fifth level of Qi training, and his appearance was completely different from that of his original self.
I guarantee that the person who is most familiar with Wang Chen will not be able to recognize him standing in front of him!
Wearing a set of old-fashioned clothes and carrying an inconspicuous magic sword on his back, he was like a newly arrived casual cultivator, full of curiosity and freshness about everything in Daying City.
After walking for a while, Wang Chen sat down in a breakfast shop.
There is a large pot at the door of this breakfast shop, which is full of mutton and mutton bones cut into pieces. The firewood below is burning brightly, and the mutton soup in the pot keeps boiling, exuding an alluring aroma.
Wang Chen felt very appetizing just looking at it, so he ordered a large portion of mutton bone soup and two grilled naan dishes.
The grilled naan is bigger than your face, with the aroma of browned wheat on both sides. You can eat it dry and chew it hard, or you can tear it off and soak it in the mutton soup, soak up the oil and water, and stuff it into your mouth. The taste is very good.
Wang Chen finished off two large sheets of roasted naan in one go, and also completely destroyed the mutton bone soup, but he was still unsatisfied.
So he asked the store to bring him two meat buns.
At this moment, Wang Chen suddenly felt something strange.
He turned around and saw a dirty boy of twelve or thirteen years old squatting on the corner of the street ten steps away.
Looking longingly at Wang Chen's table...
Sheep bones!
These mutton bones were all leftover from what Wang Chen had just eaten. They were chewed up quite cleanly and there was no trace of meat left.
However, in the eyes of this half-grown child, it is like a pile of treasures!
Wang Chen thought for a moment and raised his hand to call the waiter over.
"Pack me two more meat buns."
Wang Chen pointed at the young man and said, "Give it to him."
The waiter was stunned. He turned to look at the young man, and then lowered his voice and said: "The immortal master is merciful, but I dare to advise you, you'd better not do this, or you will get entangled."
Wang Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the store clerk would persuade him like this.
He waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, you can just send it."
Seeing Wang Chen's insistence, the waiter stopped talking and quickly gave the boy two meat buns.
The guy pointed at Wang Chen and told him that Wang Chen gave it to him.
The young man took the meat bun and stuffed it into his arms, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to Wang Chen.
Then he got up and ran away.
Wang Chen didn't pay attention and asked the waiter to give him another bowl of mutton soup. He ate two meat buns until he was half full.
After eating and paying the bill, Wang Chen got up and continued wandering on the street.
While walking around, he found that the building density in Daying City was particularly high, with houses and tiled roofs stacked on top of each other, and the heights were generally around five or six stories.
The tallest ones can even reach seven or eight floors.
Many buildings look very old, but the overall solidity is no problem at all. After all, this is a world where immortals can be cultivated, and there are so many monks in Da Ying City.
There are often many families living in a building, which reminded Wang Chen of the kind of tube buildings and group rental houses in his previous life.
There were many shops and workshops of various kinds on both sides of the street. He noticed that some workshops were underground and could only be reached by walking down long steps.
The streets and alleys are densely connected to each other, and people who are unfamiliar with the environment can easily get lost when they come here.
As for the residents here, there are monks in robes and warriors in powerful attire, and there are even more casual cultivators from outside like Wang Chen.
Wang Chen also found that the folk customs here are quite tough, and there are many burly and rough-looking people. They speak loudly, behave rudely, and curse when they disagree.
It's just that he scolds and scolds, and he doesn't take action easily. It's not because he's angry but because he's jealous.
There are also a lot of people in Jianghu gangs. They swagger through the streets in small groups, and passers-by and even monks they meet dodge.
Da Ying City felt more like an ordinary city to Wang Chen than a fairy city.
Its temperament is completely different from Wanling City and Xihai City!
Wang Chen visited several stores at random and asked about local prices.
The price of spiritual rice here is a bit expensive, but there is a large supply of ordinary rice, so ordinary people should have no problem if they want to eat enough.
Swords and weapons are much cheaper than in Wanling City, including magic weapons.
Da Ying City's "industry" was obviously quite developed. Wang Chen saw several foundries and blacksmith shops.
As for items such as elixirs, talismans, etc., they are almost the same as those in Wanling City.
What Wang Chen didn't expect was that as he walked, there were two more "tails" behind him.
Someone is stalking him!
Although the other party's behavior was quite covert, it could not be concealed from Wang Chen's spiritual consciousness.
The guy who made the shop early was right in his words, and he was really right!
This made Wang Chen quite surprised.
He just gave away two meat buns, without showing off or showing off his wealth, so why did he get into trouble?
Do you have to pay taxes if you do good deeds here?
Wang Chen thought for a while and walked towards an alley that seemed deserted.
The "tail" behind him immediately followed.
As a result, as soon as Wang Chen turned a corner at the alley, he saw a young man running towards him quickly and said to him anxiously: "Quick, come with me!"
