I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 28 Restaurant
inner city.

"A new disciple?"

The tiger demon drunkenly drank a glass of wine.

"Yes." The old man smiled and said, "But it's not certain. It also depends on his talent, his bones, his understanding, and his fate."

"Why?" The tiger demon burped and asked with a frown.

"My life is almost over, and I need a successor to pass on my master's teachings." The old man said calmly.

The tiger demon was silent for a long time before he said:

"Taibai, you are a sword immortal."

"Yes, I am, but it doesn't make me live forever, does it?"

The tiger demon put down his wine glass:

"How old are you? Fifteen thousand years old, just fifteen thousand years old. You can definitely prolong your life. You are a sword immortal."

"You mean the demon eater?"

"Yes, yes, that's right."

The old man shook his head and spoke kindly:
"I wouldn't do that."

The tiger demon widened his eyes:
"Why? I'm not asking you to eat humans. I'm asking you to hunt monsters, which is easy for you."

"When a demon eats a human, it can take the unfinished life span of the human and add it to its own body. This is because humans are born with five internal organs, six bowels, seven meridians, eight vessels, nine orifices, and 365 internal orifices, which are the number of the Zhoutian. The human body is like medicine, so eating humans can add to one's life span."

After a pause, the old man stared at the tiger demon:

"But do you know why people who eat monsters can also increase their lifespan?"

The tiger demon was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice:
"In the body of a cannibal, there is the 'medicinal power' of the person eaten, or the undigested life span. Eating a cannibal can also absorb the remaining 'medicinal power'."

The old man laughed, drank heavily, and then said:
"Yes, so, eating monsters to increase lifespan, how is that any different from eating humans? Essentially, what is being absorbed is still the remaining lifespan of the 'human'."

"Taibai!" The tiger demon was angry: "For you humans, this is not wrong!"

"I know." The old man continued to drink, his eyes blurry with drunkenness: "But I don't like it."

The tiger demon was completely silent.

After a long time, the tiger demon sighed:
"How much time do you have left?"

"do not know."

"Tell me about your new apprentice?"

"I told you, he is not yet my disciple."

The old man shook his head at first, then said with interest:

"But what surprised me was that he actually chose the picture of the Great Peng rising up."

The tiger demon was stunned for a moment, then reacted:
"You mean the scroll that contains the true meaning of that person?"

"Ah."

The old man smiled and said:
"I bet you a hundred bottles of thousand-year-old tiger bone wine that the boy can't even comprehend the Fuyao skill in it. Well, let alone glimpse the hidden truth."

The tiger demon curled his lips:

"You have so little confidence in your new apprentice?"

The old man sighed:

"After the palaces in the sky are destroyed and the demons rule the earth, no true genius will be born in the human race. You know that. The reason why the last Five Kings City of the human race can survive is all due to the human sages who did not belong to this era and were summoned by the blood sacrifice that year."

The tiger demon curled his lips:
"Yes, yes, but I don't know how I managed to summon a drunkard like you."

"Don't say that. Without me, you, the tiger demon, would still be suppressed under that demon city."

After a pause, the old man sighed:

"But you are right. What good can a drunkard like me do for the human race? For fifteen thousand years, fifteen thousand years, I have seen blood flowing, thousands of people wailing, and crying babies being swallowed whole by the demon king. I was powerless, I..."

He burped:

"Poetry and couplets can't save humanity, and neither can my sword."

“So, I’m tired of living.”

The tiger demon didn't say anything, just patted the old man on the shoulder.

"So do you want to bet?" The old man suddenly laughed and said, "One hundred bottles of tiger bone wine, one thousand years old."

"No gambling."

The tiger demon was extremely decisive, and his eyes turned vigilant when he looked at the old man:

"Don't covet my wine, etc. Damn it, how did you know I have thousand-year-old tiger bone wine???"

"Besides breaking your own bones to make wine, what else can you make by soaking? Well, it's hard to say." The old man moved his eyes downwards.

"Taibai!" the tiger demon was furious.

………………

It was the first time that Zhou Mu knew there was such a place in the breeding area.

The majestic pure white giant dog stopped and the black wooden chariot slowly came to a stop. The luxurious chariot pulled by the giant dog was inconspicuous here.

On both sides of the long street, there are similar or even more luxurious dog sedan chairs.

"Wutu, thank you for your hard work."

On the side, there was another dog sedan chair. Yu Meiren patted the giant mixed-haired dog and got off the specially made large sedan chair.

She glanced at Zhou Mu who also got off the black wooden sedan chair, and said gently:
"I'm very heavy, and every time I pull Urtula, I sweat profusely."

Zhou Mu looked at the huge mixed-haired dog named Wutu, which was panting and sticking out its tongue, and asked curiously:

"Big sister, how much do you weigh?" Yu Meiren squinted her eyes:

"Didn't anyone tell you that you can't ask a woman her weight?"

Zhou Mu shook his head honestly.

The two of them walked forward,

Zhou Mu fell behind half a step, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

There are 100 streets in the North District. The smaller the number, the closer it is to the inner city. Streets with numbers less than 10 are where the "rich" in the breeding area live.

Just like this North Seventh Street, it was Zhou Mu's first time here, and the buildings here were completely different from those on other long streets.

For example, the area between North 50th and North 70th Streets where he had been hanging out was mostly tube-shaped buildings, and the rest were old buildings with six or seven stories high.

And here?

The tallest building is only three stories high, with large vermilion pillars, copper-cast iron doors, and emerald green jade tiles, all of which are in the form of bracket sets, giving it an antique feel.

Even the lighting was provided by lanterns and candles, there was no electric light.

"arrive."

Yu Meiren paused and stopped in front of a three-story building. On the plaque in front of the door, the words "Shishe" were written in a flamboyant style, looking majestic and grand.

"Master Yu."

The woman came over with a twisted waist, wearing plain clothes and long hair tied up. The gilded hairpin in her hair was very conspicuous:

"Is it still the third floor?"

"Ah."

The woman bowed to the two of them gently and led the way up a staircase carved from a huge piece of wood.
There were quite a few guests on the first floor, a little less on the second floor, and only a few tables on the third floor.

All the seats were next to the windows, separated from each other by screens. In the middle of the third floor was a large jade stone about three or four meters high, exquisitely carved, with a young fox sealed in the jade.

With curiosity in mind, Zhou Mu and Yu Meiren sat down on either side of the table by the window. The gentle woman spoke softly:
"Master Yu, shall we continue as usual?"

Although the chair was extra large, it was still a bit difficult for Yu Meiren to sit in it. She pointed at Zhou Mu and said calmly:

"I did as usual, and so did he."

The gentle woman bowed again:
"I have never seen this gentleman before. Do you know his name?"

Before Zhou Mu could speak, Yu Meiren spoke first:

"You don't have to know."

"Yes." The gentle woman bowed again without haste, then took small steps, twisted her waist, and left quietly.

After the woman left, Zhou Mu finally let out a sigh of relief:

"Big sister, she is."

"Waiter."

Tangguan actually means waiter in a shop.

Zhou Mu swallowed his saliva:
"A waiter at the level of a strong body?"

He could feel that the gentle woman's blood and energy were very strong, no worse than No. 1!
Such a person is just a waiter?
Yu Meiren said calmly:

"Although this restaurant is located in the North District, it actually belongs to Tianxiang Pavilion."

"Tianxiang Pavilion?" Zhou Mu was a little surprised: "Isn't that the power in the East District?"

He had heard of this name. Its status in the East District was similar to that of the Fire Hall in the North District, and it was also a half-demon force.

"That's normal." Yu Meiren said, "In the entire outer city, there are actually more half-demon forces than you think. There are no less than 40 or 50 of them, big and small. Nonghuo Hall and Tianxiang Pavilion are just the most prestigious ones among them, so they are well-known."

"So many?" Zhou Mu was a little moved.

"Yes, but the most important ones are the North District Fire Hall, the East District Tianxiang Pavilion, the South District Tengshe Pavilion, and the West District White Fox Academy. There is a real demon behind each of these four houses, and they are the four managers of the breeding area."

After a pause, Yu Meiren corrected:

"That's not right. Tianxiang Pavilion is gone."

"No more?" Zhou Mu blinked. "When did it happen? I saw someone selling Tianxiang Pavilion's badges in a dark alley a few days ago."

He was a little surprised. Didn’t the senior sister just say that this restaurant belongs to Tianxiang Pavilion?

Why are they saying that Tianxiang Pavilion is gone now?

Yu Meiren smiled, did not answer, and just looked out the window calmly.
Zhou Mu looked over and the next moment.

"Roar!"

He heard a sharp hiss coming from far away in the east. Although the sound was very vague due to the extremely long distance, he could still sense the anger in it!

Most of the guests in the restaurant were a bit agitated, and many of them stretched their heads out to watch. Zhou Mu heard guests from another table not far away whispering:

"The real demon, the one behind the Tianxiang Pavilion, why is he roaring? Why is he so angry?"

Swirl around.

outside the window.

A giant dog could be seen coming at full speed with a blood-stained woman on its back, and it stopped downstairs of the restaurant.

Zhou Mu subconsciously stuck his head out of the window and saw the bloodstained woman throw the giant dog off, struggle to get up, and rush into the restaurant with a shrill voice:

"Last night, Tianxiang Pavilion."

“They were all slaughtered!”

A half-demon force that had the support of real demons and the masters and managers of the breeding area was slaughtered? ?

Zhou Mu turned back in confusion, and saw the senior sister calmly stroking her hair.
