Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace

Chapter 221 We Want Five Floating Cloud Pavilion Passes

The shabby noodle shop is located in a small alley, which is very remote. If you don’t come here specifically to find a noodle shop, there will probably be no customers coming to such a remote noodle shop to eat.

Yun Chenghao walked in front, saying as he walked, "This place is really remote, so I need to get the pass to Fuyun Pavilion."

Yun Chengxiao continued, "This Floating Cloud Pavilion is a place that cannot be seen in public, so this pass is naturally kept secret as well."

Yun Chenghao asked, "How can I get this Floating Cloud Pavilion pass?"

Yun Chengyuan said, "It is said that the Floating Cloud Pavilion pass is issued ten days before the opening of each ghost market. Only two hundred passes are issued. You need to bid for the pass at a specific time, and the highest bidder wins."

"When you get to the noodle shop, watch your mouths." Yun Chengyan reminded Yun Chengyuan and the other two.

A few of them walked through a long alley. When they walked out of the alley, their view suddenly opened up. A shabby noodle shop appeared in front of them. The sign read "This bowl of noodles is super delicious". Next to the sign was a thumbs-up emoticon and a square root of two.

Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows when she saw this. Could it be that the owner of this noodle shop was a time traveler?

Yun Chenghao looked at the noodle shop sign and smiled, "This noodle shop sign looks very unique. The owner of this noodle shop must be an interesting person."

Yun Chengxiao raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What does 'ga ga' mean?"

Yun Qingqing took over and explained to him: "Hahaha, it's very meaningful to be here."

Yun Chengyuan smiled and said, "Then this bowl of noodles is delicious. It means this bowl of noodles is very delicious."

Yun Chengxiao laughed and said, "This boss is really not a modest person."

Yun Chenghao continued, "Maybe the boss wasn't lying. His noodles are really delicious."

Yun Chengyan curled the corner of his mouth and said, "Stop talking nonsense and go in and take a look." As he said that, Yun Chengyan took the lead and walked into the noodle shop.

Yun Qingqing and the other three followed closely behind him and walked into the noodle shop.

This is a very small noodle shop. The space inside is cramped and can only accommodate five square tables. The tables and chairs have been worn by time and the paint on them is mottled, and they look like they are quite old.

The noodle shop was empty, with only the gurgling sound of boiling water coming from the kitchen.

Yun Chenghao frowned and shouted, "Is anyone there?" His voice echoed in the noodle shop, but there was no response. There was only the gurgling sound of boiling water in the kitchen.

Yun Chenghao couldn't suppress his curiosity and walked towards the kitchen.

Just as he took a step, a creaking sound suddenly came from the second floor, as if someone was coming down.

Yun Chenghao stopped and looked towards the second floor.

Yun Qingqing also stared at the second floor, wanting to see if the person coming down was the "time traveler".

An old man slowly came down from the second floor. His hair was gray and his left eye was tightly covered with a black cloth. With every step he took, the wooden stairs creaked.

The old man came up to the crowd, sizing them up with his cloudy right eye, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Are you guys here for the Floating Cloud Pavilion pass?"

Yun Chengyan nodded, "Old man..." Before he could finish, the old man interrupted him, "The Floating Cloud Pavilion passes have all been distributed today. If you want a Floating Cloud Pavilion pass, come early tomorrow."

Yun Chenghao became anxious upon hearing this: "Uncle, we've come all this way here hoping to get the pass as soon as possible. Could you please be flexible and show us a way so we can get it today?"

The old man snorted coldly and said, "This is the rule of Floating Cloud Pavilion. There is no room for compromise."

Yun Qingqing asked, "Old man, who wrote this sign for you? It's quite unique."

The old man said, "It's just something I came up with. It's nothing special."

Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows when she heard this. "Old man, can you draw the square root of two?"

The old man was startled when he heard this, and looked at Yun Qingqing with complicated eyes, "Do you know the square root of two?"

Yun Qingqing nodded, "Yes."

Yun Chenghao had no idea what they were talking about, so he curiously asked Yun Qingqing, "Abao, what is the square root of two that you and the old man were talking about? Why have I never heard of this term before?"

Yun Qingqing smiled and said, "Sixth brother, this is a bit complicated to explain."

Yun Chenghao heard this and said, "Then I won't explain."

The old man listened quietly, a strange light flashing in his single eye. He looked at Yun Qingqing and said, "If you can match the couplets in my shop, I will grant you the pass today."

Yun Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, "Okay, old man, please take out the pair." Then she asked the old man, "Old man, do you know what "Lao Tie" means?"

A subtle surprise flashed across the old man's face when he heard this. His single eye narrowed slightly. After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke, "Little girl, that word you said is quite strange. Where did you hear it from?"

Yun Qingqing's eyes flickered slightly. She knew that this old man was not a time traveler, but might know the time traveler. Yun Qingqing did not answer directly, but smiled and said, "Old man, please take out the pair. I will try to see if I can match it."

The old man looked at Yun Qingqing deeply, and without saying anything else, he took out a tattered booklet from his pocket and said, "I said the first half of the pair, you said the second half, the first pair, I always get cheated when playing games with friends."

Yun Chenghao frowned, puzzled, "What kind of strange pair is this? What is this game, what is this?"

Yun Qingqing's eyes lit up when she heard this pair, and she immediately said, "The lottery scratch cards are all empty."

It's obvious that this pair was left behind by that "time traveler". It seems that this old man has some relationship with that "time traveler".

The old man cleared his throat and continued, "My dear, your order is awesome."

Yun Qingqing reacted quickly and said with a smile, "Internet celebrities are crazy about attracting fans."

The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he continued, "The chicken stewed with mushrooms is super delicious."

Yun Qingqing smiled and continued, "Big goose stewed in an iron pot is the best."

The old man's eyes gleamed even brighter as he continued to recite, "The story of Wu Song slaying the tiger has become a legend.

Yun Qingqing smiled and continued, "Lu Da's fist subdued the evil tyrant."

The old man closed the worn booklet, stared at Yun Qingqing with his one eye, and slowly said, "Since you have matched the couplet, this Floating Cloud Pavilion pass is given to you."

After saying that, he took out a pass engraved with mysterious patterns from his arms and handed it to Yun Qingqing.

Yun Qingqing said, "Old man, we want five Floating Cloud Pavilion passes."

The old man frowned and said, "This is the only one I can give you. According to the rules, the others must be auctioned, but I can make an exception and let you buy them. However, to buy this pass, you must pay at least one thousand taels of silver notes each."

Yun Qingqing said readily, "Okay, old man, I'll buy it. Sell me five passes."

Yun Qingqing said this and took out five thousand taels of silver notes from the space and gave them to the old man.

The old man took the banknote and said to Yun Qingqing, "Wait here for me. I'll go upstairs to get you a pass."

"Okay." Yun Qingqing nodded obediently.

Seeing this, the old man walked upstairs. The stairs made a creaking sound with every step he took, as if they could not bear the weight.

After the old man left, Yun Chenghao curiously asked Yun Qingqing, "Abao, how do you know those strange words?"

Yun Qingqing replied, "Sixth brother, after I became more mature, a lot of strange words came into my mind."

Yun Chenghao didn't say much after hearing this, but smiled and said, "Abao, it's a good thing you have these strange words in your head. That's why it was so easy for us to get the Floating Cloud Pavilion pass. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have gone through a lot of trouble to get this Floating Cloud Pavilion pass."
