Chapter 914: Dramatic Changes in the World
The waiter was skinny, with high cheekbones, narrow eyes, small cheeks and thin lips, and a sly look. He looked up and down at Li Changxiao, and his eyes showed surprise. He was really surprised. He thought that he had been running this inn for eleven or twelve years, and had seen many guests coming and going. Although he had not set foot in the underworld, he was already in it, and had seen all kinds of people. But this person with such a strange appearance was the first time he had seen it in his life. It was not ugly or handsome, but it was strange enough! Today really opened his eyes. If he had the ability to draw, he would have wanted to draw it on the spot so that others could see it too.
The waiter bent over and laughed. His mouth was thin but his teeth were protruding. His upper and lower teeth were not even, and they were both leaky and crooked, black and yellow. This smile was really creepy. Li Changxiao's heart sank. He didn't know how long he had been asleep. He didn't know how the world was changing, but seeing the waiter in such a state was obviously not a good sign. He had been sleeping for a long time. If he had just walked on the long road in the forest and saw the beautiful scenery around him, he would still retain some of the beauty in his dream. At this moment, he was waking up from a big dream and facing the world nakedly. For a while, he didn't know what to feel. The closer he was to his cultivation, the more lonely he faced. Although he used to walk alone on the road, the immortal monks were still there. They would pass by each other, look at each other from a distance, or walk side by side. Even if it was only a short distance, there were still people on the road. Later, the immortal monks disappeared, and he looked at the mortal beings, who were not bad either. The lights were dim and they lived and worked in peace. After that, I'm afraid that scene will never be seen again. Li Changxiao looked calm, sorted out his thoughts, and was about to order some food.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the door was kicked open, and it hit the wall with a "bang". It was dark at this time, and it was late at night. Ordinary people had already fallen asleep. At this time, the people who came to the inn to rest were definitely not ordinary people. The waiter knew this very well, so no matter how strange the visitor was, he would be respectful and would never neglect him at all. He didn't like the sound of the door being kicked, and cursed in a low voice: "Bastard!" But he turned around and smiled. The visitor stepped over the threshold. The candlelight of the inn shone on him. Only then could he see his true face.
It was a middle-aged man in Taoist robes who walked into the inn.
The robe was black and white, with the left side black and the right side white, but it was asymmetrical, with more white and less black. The man had a crown on his head and a long sword on his waist. At first glance, he looked like an immortal, very elegant. However, if you look closely, you can see that he had a limp on his right foot, and when he walked, one leg was higher than the other, and one leg was shorter than the other. His face was not good-looking either, with a long square face and pockmarks on both cheeks.
He is much more handsome than the waiter.
The waiter was originally serving Li Changxiao. But when he saw the Taoist enter the store, his eyes lit up immediately. He had never seen such a divine person before, and he was so envious. He didn't pursue the sin of kicking the door before. He immediately went to greet him and said, "Divine person! Great divine person! It's an honor to have you visit our store! An honor!" He even kowtowed to him.
The waiter said to Li Changxiao, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you bow? It's not easy to see such a deity. If you miss this opportunity, you can't blame anyone else if you are haunted by evil spirits in the future!" Seeing that Li Changxiao was unmoved, the waiter actually wanted to reach out and pull him away.
But he was skinny and weak, how could he pull Li Changxiao. Li Changxiao was unmoved, and quietly observed the two of them. He sighed again and again in his heart. Now the world is a little worse.
The Taoist priest saw that Li Changxiao was unwilling to pay homage, and he threw his sleeves in displeasure. He chose a table and sat down, saying, "Where did this weirdo come from!" The waiter tried to pull Li Changxiao but he didn't move, so he ignored him and quickly replied to the Taoist priest, "I don't know, I don't know. He has a weird appearance, and I'm afraid his brain is not normal. Just ignore him."
The Taoist said, "Hmph! I'm so hungry. Bring me some food and wine. I have to hurry up after I finish eating!" The waiter said, "God, it's getting late here. If we meet a big tiger on the road, wouldn't it be dangerous? Why don't you stay for a while?" The Taoist said, "That's okay. It depends on my mood. Maybe I'll feel like going on the road after I'm full." The waiter said, "Great, great, Taoist, please stay for a while."
Soon, the Taoist's table was full of food. A dish of monkey head soup, a dish of human leg skin, a heart to ward off evil spirits. A jar of strong liquor made of unknown ingredients. As soon as the cork was opened, the smell of liquor wafted out. The inn was filled with the tempting aroma of liquor.
The Taoist said, "Not bad, not bad." He held up the monkey head and started to eat it with relish. The monkey head was already well-cooked, with the skin and bones falling off. The Taoist slurped it up, and the skin and meat all went into his stomach. Li Changxiao saw that he was eating very happily but had no appetite, so he ordered two ordinary side dishes, fennel beans, and pork elbow. He also ordered a jar of fine wine.
Not long after, the waiter brought it up. He looked very surprised and pointed at Li Changxiao and asked, "Why are you eating such strange food?" Li Changxiao smiled and said, "Is it the fennel beans or the pork elbow that are strange?" The waiter said, "Both are strange."
The waiter said, "Those fennel beans are for children. Pork elbows are also for children. Once they grow up, they will not be able to eat these things at all." Li Chang laughed in surprise, "Is there such a thing? I can clearly taste how delicious it is."
After finishing the meal, Li Changxiao bought a room and went upstairs. He lay on the bed and thought deeply about what he had just seen and heard. This inn was very strange. He didn't know if it was like this everywhere or just this inn.
While he was thinking, the Taoist also ate and drank enough, and went upstairs to rest. The guest room was opposite Li Changxiao. The Taoist was lame, but he walked fast. But he needed help to go up the stairs. The waiter was very respectful and served him very attentively.
After being sent to the room, there was a round of flattery. The Taoist was quite pleased and could not hide his smugness. After half an hour, the waiter turned off the lights and went back to sleep. Everything was quiet. Li Changxiao lay on the bed and made a plan. There was no rush at the moment. First, understand the current situation and then think about the next countermeasures.
He had a vague feeling that the disease of longevity might have spread, and that the disease of longevity was the source, leading to countless downstream diseases...
