After singing the song, Lu Chengji began to feel regretful.
Hey, how come I started singing along without realizing it?
Why is this song so catchy? He didn't want to sing it.
He quickly closed his mouth, but even though he closed his mouth, his mind couldn't stop, and the song kept looping in his head.
The cycle continued until he reached the entrance of Medical Valley.
Then, here, he heard a magical and rhythmic accompaniment. Suddenly, his eyes began to stare straight, the veins on his forehead jumped, and he felt as if his head was about to explode.
After a moment, the accompaniment ended, and the same magical singing began: "Ah la la ah bili pali..." [Note 1]
The song that was playing in his head suddenly disappeared. For a moment, this song was the only one left in Lu Chengji's mind.
He felt as if his brain was almost pierced and his soul was greatly stimulated.
He almost forgot to rein in his horse, but fortunately he finally reacted in time, stopped the horse, and continued to stay in the same place.
The extremely enchanting melody made his mind go blank, and the veins on his forehead seemed to be beating rhythmically.
When the song finally ended, he came to his senses and felt like he had survived a disaster. He couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Looking around, I saw that everyone else present was also stunned and motionless, with expressions on their faces as if they had been struck by lightning.
In the melody of this song, everyone was so shocked that they forgot what they were doing. It was not until the end of the song that the still picture finally came alive again.
Then, someone finally spoke up:
"Boss, can we skip this song next time? It's horrible."
"After listening to this song, I am almost dying. Help me, miracle doctor, please save me."
"How can there be such a terrible song in the world?"
"Boss, please be so kind as to spare everyone here."
"Shopkeeper, you've killed me! I was planning to go to the Xianyuan Hotel to practice, but after hearing this song, I couldn't hold back and actually broke through. My five taels of silver! Compensate me!"
But then another song started playing: "My dad just wanted to kill him, just wanted to kill him..." [Note 2]
Compared to the previous song, this one seemed more normal. At least it didn't make people's heads ache. Most of the protesters immediately shut up.
But the disciple from the Medical Valley who had accidentally broken through to a new realm was unyielding: "Boss, come out quickly and give me an explanation!"
Lu Chengji: “…”
Isn't a breakthrough a good thing? Why would he ask for compensation? Besides, the Ming Inn isn't someone you can easily bully. They wouldn't pay compensation for something like this, right?
But then Manager Ming came out of the inn, and there seemed to be a colorful object squatting on his shoulder.
Because the distance was a little far, Lu Chengji couldn't see clearly what it was.
Shopkeeper Ming said, "I just asked the robot. This song is called 'Swinging Onion Song.' Now that it's proven to have the effect of helping people break through, isn't that a good thing? You might as well spread this news to others as soon as possible. Maybe someone will be willing to give you a reward to at least make up for some of your losses. If you don't go, I'll send someone."
The disciple from the Medical Valley was startled and bowed, saying, "Goodbye." He turned around and ran quickly towards the Medical Valley.
Lu Chengji nodded in agreement. The song did sound terrifying, but if it could force people to break through their realm, what did it matter if they endured some mental torture? This was indeed a good thing.
He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, told his servants to hurry over and line up, and he himself led the horse to go to Ming's Inn to rest.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a breeze suddenly blew towards him and he smelled a strong fragrance.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, squinted his eyes and took a closer look, but he couldn't see clearly because of his poor eyesight.
He had no choice but to follow the direction of the wind and quicken his pace to approach a person who was queuing.
When he got closer, he finally saw clearly that it was a bucket of strange noodles.
The noodles were all twisted and tangled, and the soup had a surprising amount of oil in it. But how could Ming's Inn be willing to use so much oil? Besides, Ming's Inn was known for its terrible food, so how could they possibly make something so delicious?
Or is it that the noodles are actually brought by the person eating them?
He looked up at the person eating noodles and said, "Excuse me, where did you buy these noodles?"
The person eating the noodles was originally in a daze, not yet fully recovered from the mental damage, but he suddenly came to his senses after hearing this: "It's from the Ming's Inn next door. They make the noodles and deliver them to you. You don't have to wait in line, and you don't have to delay eating the noodles. The price is not too expensive."
After saying that, the man slurped the noodles, eating with a relish and a look of enjoyment on his face.
Lu Chengji looked at the man eating and smelled the aroma of instant noodles. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said, "Thank you for letting me know."
He turned around and walked quickly towards Ming's Inn. There was a large shed outside the inn, with many tables and chairs placed under the shed.
The dynamic music is still echoing. Both the instrumental accompaniment and the singing make people feel excited. They can't wait to take off their clothes and start dancing and swordplay.
He didn't know what instrument was accompanying the singer. This was the first time he heard such an inspiring instrumental sound.
The waiter ran up to the restaurant happily, "Sir, what would you like to order? Our Ming's Inn has recently launched instant noodles, self-heating hot pot, cola, Sprite, coconut juice, orange juice..."
The waiter listed a number of items in one breath, then went on to explain in detail, "We'll make instant noodles and self-heating hot pot for you. Drinks like Coke and Sprite are also iced. Enjoying a sip on this scorching summer day will surely refresh you. These items were specially purchased by our shopkeeper from the Xianyuan Hotel. Stock is running low, so it's first come, first served. Don't miss out."
"Xianyuan Hotel?!" Lu Chengji remembered, isn't this where his distant cousin lives?
"It's the Xianyuan Hotel next to the south gate of the county. There are now purchase restrictions at the Xianyuan Hotel, and the self-heating hot pot has been taken off the shelves. You can't buy it even if you want to." The waiter said and then waited. It seemed that Lu Chengji was a wealthy man and would most likely be willing to pay for it.
Unlike some people, who know that they can buy these things at a low price at Xianyuan Hotel, would rather suppress their cravings and find time to go to Xianyuan Hotel in person.
Lu Chengji said, "One serving of instant noodles, one serving of self-heating hot pot, and one serving of Coke. Also, take my horse out to feed and water him. Waiter, who sang that song just now? And what instrument was used to accompany it?"
"It is said that these songs are sung by the gods in heaven, and of course the instruments are only available in heaven, which is not something that we mortals can make." The waiter explained proudly. He took the reins from Lu Chengji and turned to leave.
Lu Chengji asked suspiciously, "Immortals?! Once a warrior breaks through the void and ascends to become an immortal, won't he never be able to come back? How can immortals exist in this world?"
The waiter said matter-of-factly, "But the owner of the Fairy Garden Hotel is a deity. Everyone thinks so. Besides a deity, who else could have the same magical powers as that owner, constantly bringing down things from the outer world?"
Lu Chengji was confused: "Something from the outer world? Then who is the person singing?"
"That's a robot. Didn't you see the robot on the shopkeeper's shoulder? My shopkeeper bought it from the Xianyuan Hotel for a hundred taels of silver." The waiter pointed at Shopkeeper Ming standing nearby. "But the song isn't sung by the robot. It's said that it just recorded the song and played it back for us."
At this time, another beautiful song rang out: "The vast horizon is my love, and flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills..." [Note 3]
This time the singer has changed from a man to a woman, and it seems that each song is obviously sung by a different person.
Lu Chengji listened carefully and found that the singing seemed to come from the shopkeeper.
This time the song still sounds catchy, and people can't help but get into it as they listen.
The waiter turned around and prepared to leave.
Lu Chengji quickly came back to his senses and called out to him again: "Wait, you just said that the owner of the Xianyuan Hotel is a god?"
"Of course, I've seen many people like you who don't believe it, but as long as you go to Xianyuan Hotel and see it for yourself, you will know that she is indeed a fairy from outer space." The waiter stepped forward and prepared to leave.
Lu Chengji suddenly recalled the letter he received. The content of the letter clearly asked him to go to Xianyuan Hotel.
Could it be...
Did he have a misunderstanding before?
Lu Chengji quickly perked up and asked, "Waiter, wait a minute. I have a question. Can the owner of the Xianyuan Hotel restore a broken meridian?"
The waiter stopped and turned back, "Of course. You mean the hot springs? Hot springs can indeed cure terminal illnesses and reconnect severed meridians, but everyone only has one chance to be cured in their lifetime. My shopkeeper said that the reason the owner made this restriction is perhaps to encourage everyone to cherish life and not over-rely on the owner's magic and neglect the study of medicine. After all, once the owner completes his training on earth, he will eventually leave this world. Ultimately, we can only rely on ourselves."
Lu Chengji: “!!!”
So, he actually misunderstood what his distant nephew meant. It turned out that the one who could cure him was not Yigu, but the owner of the Xianyuan Hotel who was a god who came down to earth?
But who could have imagined that a tavern (sounds like a liquor store) could actually restore a person's severed pulse? Anyone who heard of such a thing would only scoff, right?
He stood up suddenly, his inner anxiety beyond words, and snatched the reins from the waiter. "Waiter, can you deliver my shopping as soon as possible? I'm planning to go to the Xianyuan Hotel right now."
"Ah? Okay, wait a moment." The waiter turned around and ran away.
After a while, he brought over a bucket of instant noodles, a self-heating hot pot, and iced cola. "This cola was chilled by the store's experts using Yin-Cold Qi. It's said that it tastes even better this way..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Lu Chengji take the thing, then immediately jumped on it and galloped away on his horse.
