Chapter 36 Like Master, Like Disciple
Due to factors such as the hot climate, in meat-eating countries, items related to cooling and heat-reducing effects often sell particularly well, and ice cubes are one of them.
Considering the strong business opportunities and huge demand in the meat-eating country, many shops selling ice cubes have emerged.
Xu Ren'er and the others followed Chicken Breast Danbai into the city and found that every few steps they could see a shop selling ice cubes.
Perhaps it is because there are many shops selling ice cubes and there is competition among peers, which results in the ice cubes here not only being cheap and of good quality, but also being in sufficient quantity.
Xu Ren'er quickly accumulated enough ice stock.
"Ren'er... I feel like... happiness is about to... overflow."
Tang Qiuyue said incoherently.
Xu Ren'er turned his head and found that Tang Qiuyue's eyes were extremely excited. Her mouth was full of food and her cheeks were bulging, like a squirrel eating.
At this time, Tang Qiuyue had already changed her clothes and adapted to the local customs. Judging from her clothes, she seemed to be no different from the locals.
Xu Ren'er still remembers that when Tang Qiuyue just changed her clothes, she was a little shy, as if something was not used to it and she felt uncomfortable.
After walking a few more steps and getting used to it, she found that the new clothes were not only lighter but also cooler than her previous clothes. She immediately fell in love with this feeling.
"What are you eating? Why are you so happy?"
Xu Ren'er was amused by Tang Qiuyue's expression and asked.
Tang Qiuyue directly handed a bag to Xu Rener. Xu Rener took it and saw that it was full of grilled skewers.
There are many varieties of skewers, including lamb skewers, chicken skin skewers, squid skewers, beef skewers, starch sausages...
Xu Ren'er looked confused. She carefully opened the bag, took out a mutton skewer, and took two bites...
Just at that moment when she bit it, she understood Tang Qiuyue's excitement at the moment.
No matter how the food in the fruit country is prepared, it always tastes like fruit.
At the beginning, they would keep eating out of curiosity about new things. After all, there are many varieties of fruits and it is not easy to get tired of them.
However, as time passed, they were not indigenous people and had long been accustomed to the taste of fruit.
When all the fruits and foods are almost finished, the "food desert" in your mouth comes.
Especially for those who practice martial arts, their demand for meat is extremely high. If they do not eat meat for a long time, the feeling is like cutting meat with a blunt knife.
Xu Ren'er ate with relish and quickly finished all the skewers that Tang Qiuyue handed to him.
Tears of emotion slowly fell from the corners of her eyes. She had not felt this kind of taste for a long time.
"Don't get too excited, there's still a lot here. We just bought them along the way..."
Mo Youli said softly to Xu Rener.
Mo Youli was also eating. He was a little more restrained than Xu Ren'er and Tang Qiuyue, and his manners were dignified. However, his eating speed was very fast, so fast that outsiders could only see his afterimage.
As for Tang Beiju, he said nothing, but just kept eating, as if he was a starving ghost reincarnated.
When the others saw this, they were all puzzled.
Apple Xinshan and Qingti Yaoming thought to themselves:
Is there a meat shortage over there in the mixed world? Why are they eating so... angrily?!
It's no wonder they used the word "sad and angry" to describe it. It's really hard to describe the expressions of Xu Ren'er and the others while they were eating.
Have you ever seen a group of people crying in anger while eating?
"Are you... abusing them... in terms of diet?"
Apple Xinshan couldn't bear to watch it, so she turned and asked Litchi Yuhui next to her.
As soon as she turned her head, she was startled.
Lizhi Yuhui, whom she was questioning, was now stopped by a street stall, sitting casually on a small stool with his legs spread apart, one hand on one knee, and the other hand holding chopsticks. His upper and lower limbs formed two irregular and crooked "M" shapes.
The man who was originally as elegant as a green bamboo now blended perfectly into the bustling city, as if he was an ordinary foreign tourist who found a place to cook a meal.
In front of him was a small round table filled with meat dishes. Lizhi Yuhui's chopsticks moved back and forth quickly on the table.
If Apple Xinshan hadn't been so skilled in martial arts and had excellent eyesight, she probably wouldn't have been able to see even the afterimage.
Next to him, there was a "white mountain" piled up, which was made up of empty plates.
Apple Xinshan: ...
I thought it was the master who abused his apprentice, but now it seems that like master, like apprentice.
Compared to the surprise of Apple Xinshan and Green Grape Yaoming, Chicken Breast Danbai and the others were much calmer.
The food in their country is delicious. It is natural for outsiders to fall in love with the food produced in their country. There is nothing to be surprised about!
——
After eating and drinking their fill, they soon arrived at the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Two huge stone rabbits stood at the entrance of the Imperial Master's Mansion, supporting their bodies on all fours, with their chins raised proudly and looking down at the front with disdain.
In Xu Rener's opinion, most families choose to place stone lions on both sides of their doors to create a majestic and upright image.
Rabbits are small in aggressiveness and tend to be honest and cute in appearance, so few people would choose to carve stone rabbits and place them at the door.
Out of curiosity, Xu Ren'er approached the two stone rabbits, looked up at them for a few more seconds, and then walked away reluctantly.
"Why aren't you moving?"
Xu Ren'er looked back and found that after Chicken Breast Dan Bai and the others led Xu Ren'er and his group to the gate of the National Master's Mansion, they did not take any further action.
Hearing the question, Yupi Haochi just shook his head and sighed:
"It seems that we can only stay in an inn today."
Xu Ren'er: "Why?"
"The door to the Imperial Master's Mansion has always been controlled by the two stone rabbits. Today, they stood motionless on both sides of the door, which means that the stone rabbits are out today.
Generally speaking, the stone rabbits are rarely absent at the same time. When they are not there, the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion will be in a state where only exits are allowed but no entry is allowed.
Blame it on us coming back at the wrong time, just consider it bad luck."
After the explanation, Yupi Haochi turned and left, followed by the steak and shrimp.
Slowly, the people from the Imperial Master's Mansion dispersed one by one, leaving only Chicken Breast Danbai and Lamb Chop Menghuo, who had a slight liking for them.
"Let's go! I'm very familiar with this area. I know which inn has the most comfortable environment and the most considerate hospitality."
Yangchou Menghuo took the initiative to step forward and said.
The others walked away too quickly, and before Lizhi Yuhui could ask anything, he saw Yangpai Menghuo taking the initiative to talk, so he expressed his doubts:
"Do we have to wait for the Stone Rabbit to come back?"
Facing his lifesaver, Yangpai Menghuo naturally knew everything and replied:
"The door of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion was made by our Imperial Preceptor himself. It incorporates many materials and is imbued with some of the Imperial Preceptor's power, making it indestructible.
Shitu was personally appointed by the Grand Master to hold the key to the gate. Besides Shitu, the Grand Master is the only one in the world who can open the gate of the Grand Master's Mansion."
This successfully aroused Tang Qiuyue's curiosity:
"What if I need to return home for an emergency, and the Imperial Preceptor and Stone Rabbit are not here? What should I do then?"
This question stumped Yangpai Menghuo.
He lowered his eyes, hiding his disdain and ridicule for the rules of the Imperial Master's Mansion. When he raised his head, a helpless expression appeared on his lips as he replied:
“The rules of the Imperial Master’s Mansion are explained to you on the first day you enter, so situations like this rarely occur and everyone tries to avoid them.
If you are unlucky enough to encounter such a situation, you can only accept it."
Hearing this, Xu Ren'er was thoughtful, grasped the key loophole, and said:
"From what you said, it seems that the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion is actually allowed to be destroyed, and no compensation is required after the destruction, right?"
Yang Pai Menghuo was slightly stunned, then nodded and said with a smile:
"Yes. But so far, no one has ever successfully destroyed it."
Perhaps feeling that his explanation was a little insufficient, Yangpai Menghuo continued to add:
“Many people have heard about the gate of the Imperial Master’s Mansion. To prove their strength, they have come here one after another, but in the end, they all return disappointed.
If you are also interested in destroying the gate, it is still early and you have plenty of free time, so you can give it a try."
After saying that, he took a few steps back, stood behind Chicken Breast Danbai, and looked at them with a smile.
Xu Ren'er and his group looked at each other. Pingguo Xinshan and Qingti Yaoming silently took two steps back, showing with their actions that they were not very interested.
Tang Qiuyue pointed at herself and said, "Then I'll go first?"
Lizhi Yuhui followed closely behind: "Then I cut off the tail?"
Xu Ren'er shook his head: "Then I'm second?"
Mo Youli raised three fingers: "Me third?"
Tang Beiju looked around at them, pursed his lips, and reluctantly imitated Mo Youli, raising four fingers: "Four."
After confirming the order, Tang Qiuyue strode to the front door, her face full of eagerness to try.
Her hands were facing behind her, and those were her two-headed giant axe, tucked behind her waist.
Hamigua Henhuai is a person who is truly worth making friends with. Before they set off, he was kind enough to help her redeem her weapon from the auction organizer.
"I'm starting!" Tang Qiuyue shouted.
She leaped into the air, spinning rapidly back and forth several times in the air, preparing to increase the force before the attack.
As she was spinning, due to her extremely fast speed and the heavy weight of the giant axe, a strong wind was created, and the hair of the people around her began to fly backwards wildly.
"Bang-bang-bang"
The first giant axe hit the gate, the second giant axe hit the gate, and the two giant axes hit the gate at the same time.
The door didn't budge.
Seeing this, Tang Qiuyue had no choice but to carry the giant axe, do a backflip, move away from the gate, and put away the giant axe.
She shrugged and glanced at Xu Ren'er: It's your turn.
Xu Ren'er raised his dog paw and waved it at the door twice. Seeing that there was no effect, he immediately gave up.
When she turned around, she still had time to give Tang Qiuyue a mysterious smile, then lowered her head and shook her head, with a hint of pampering in her smile.
After years of friendship, Tang Qiuyue instantly understood her smile: You, look at you, you are so fancy and have to go through so many preparations, you might as well learn from her, save some energy, and be more decisive!
Tang Qiuyue:......
Mo Youli and Xu Ren'er had a similar style of doing things. He raised the white jade flute on his waist and knocked twice on the door to test whether there was any hidden mechanism that could be activated.
After exploring for a long time and seeing no response, he shook his head helplessly and retreated behind.
The calmness with which they dealt with the matter made Tang Qiuyue, who had just made a big fuss, seem particularly impulsive and brainless.
Tang Qiuyue covered her face with her hands, hiding her embarrassment and confusion: Why did she feel so upset?
While Tang Qiuyue was covering her face, Tang Beiju silently stepped forward, pulled the sword out of the scabbard, and slowly stroked the sword with his hand, as if he was facing his lover whom he had been in love with for many years.
"What are you dithering about? No one will appreciate your grace no matter how much you dither!"
Keeping a good mentality, Tang Qiuyue saw that Tang Beiju was slow to move, and immediately urged him in a careless manner.
After she finished urging, she felt a little secretly happy in her heart. The corners of her mouth could not help but rise high, and she couldn't stop smiling at all.
Hahahaha! She's not the only one who likes to act flamboyantly!
Tang Beiju, who understood Tang Qiuyue's psychology in a second: ...
A warm smile flashed across his eyes. He turned his head to look at the gate, circulated his internal energy, and infused it into the sword.
When he infused his internal energy, the world changed instantly.
"go!"
The moment he opened his mouth, Tang Beiju moved.
The powerful sword intent directly hit the door, and the door actually began to produce tiny cracks.
