The sesame seed cakes made by Lan Muchuan were very delicious. Their reputation was not limited to Xiangnan Street, nor was it limited to Gujiuyang. Many foreigners had heard of Lan Wenchuan's Sesame Seed Cake Shop. When they came to Gujiu Yang, they would always go to this shop to buy a Sesame Seed Cake. Lan Wenchuan's sesame seed cakes were much more delicious than the ones from Lan Zhou.
Lan Muchuan had never revealed his secret recipe for making sesame seed cakes. When people asked him about it, he always said that it was a trade secret. According to him, he learned his craft from Wu Dalang of the Song Dynasty. It had been a long time since the Song Dynasty. Lan Muchuan said that he was Wu Dalang's direct disciple and had once worked as a waiter in the Wu family's pancake shop. These words sounded like a joke, but someone actually believed it without a doubt.
It wasn't easy to buy Lan Muchuan's sesame seed cakes. Lan Muchuan could only make 1,000 shaobing a day at most, and each person was limited to one. It didn't matter if you were a sh * t leader or a commoner, whether you were a business tycoon or a beggar…everyone was equal in front of the shaobing. If they wanted to eat, they had to line up. The strange thing was that everyone was willing to obey Lan Muchuan's command. Even the wealthy tycoons were willing to squeeze together with the beggars in tattered clothes for Lan Muchuan's shaobing.
It was said that the law was fair and everyone was equal before the law. In reality, the law wasn't as fair as people thought. It was impossible for everyone to be equal before the law, at least in the Great Shun Dynasty. In the Great Shun Dynasty, if there was anything that was truly fair, it would be the sesame seed cake. Lan Wenchuan's sesame seed cake was the fairest, most fair, and most open thing in the Great Shun Dynasty. Everyone was equal in front of the pancake.
Not only was Lan Muchuan's sesame seed cake delicious, but it also had a wonderful healing effect. Some people said that after eating Lan Muchuan's sesame seed cakes, people who had been paralyzed for many years were cured. Some people said that after eating Lan Muchuan's sesame seed cakes, people with terminal cancer were cured. Some people said that after eating Lan Muchuan's sesame seed cakes, AIDS had been cured. However, not everyone could have such luck. It was said that only by personally going to Lan Wenchuan's sesame seed cake shop to line up, personally taking the sesame seed cake from Lan Wenchuan's hands, and eating the sesame seed cake under Lan Wenchuan's gentle and kind gaze could one's illness be cured. This was why the rich would rather stand with the beggars than have their subordinates queue for them. Everyone was equal in front of the sesame seed cake. Therefore, everyone had to maintain their sincerity in front of the sesame seed cake. They had to pray sincerely and beg the boss of the sesame seed cake shop, Lan Muchuan, to sell the sesame seed cake to them.
"So, you can't get close to him." Ghost Moon said seriously to Shen Xianlai.
"I still want to ask him for advice on the cultivation method. How can I avoid him?”
"You haven't forgotten your identity, have you?”Ghost Moon sneered.
"Me? He was the substitute god of the Temple of Erlang in Shenshui.”Shen Xianlai puffed out his chest and said with the imposing manner of an Erlang God.
"Bullsh * t!" Ghost Moon couldn't help but curse." You self-proclaimed yourself as a substitute god, didn't you? When did Erlang Shen let you represent the temple in Sham Shui Tian? Your current identity is still that of an evil ghost, and an evil ghost wanted by the underworld! Are you not afraid of death if you dare to look for an immortal?”
Shen Xianlai scratched his head and smiled." I'm sorry. I've been pretending to be the Erlang God for too long recently. I really think I'm nothing."”
Ghost Moon nodded." To know that you're a scoundrel means that you haven't completely lost your mind. Now, you should leave. Be careful not to be discovered by the immortal next door.”
Shen Xianlai nodded and said," Thank you for your guidance, Brother Gui. I'm really grateful."”With that, the spirit body turned into a gust of wind and passed through the door. Although it was said to have turned into wind, ordinary people could not feel it unless they had a higher perception of spiritual power than a certain limit. On the other hand, Shen Xianlai was a spirit body, so he did not have to go through the door. He could also go through the wall, ceiling, or floor. However, he didn't do so because he still maintained some habits of strangers. He didn't like to go through the wall directly.
Ghost Moon watched Shen Xianlai leave and muttered to himself," Why would I hang out with these kids? How interesting. Don't worry, Shen Xian, I will investigate the identity of the person who sold the sesame seed cakes." His identity really made people very curious. Immortals? He shouldn't be selling sesame seed cakes in the mortal world, right?”
Shen Xianlai was walking on the road, and the surrounding strangers did not see him. Even the shamans who could see him would not think that he was a ghost. Because Shen Xianlai was no different from the pedestrians on the road. In fact, his expression was even more lively than those pedestrians. The eyes of those pedestrians lacked life and their expressions were somewhat numb. On the contrary, Shen Xian looked more lively.
Shen Xianlai walked into a small alley and suddenly felt a surge of Yin Qi. This kind of Yin Qi was unique to ghosts. Logically speaking, Shen Xianlai was also a ghost, so he should not be sensitive to it. However, Shen Xianlai had a very sensitive perception of this kind of ghost Yin Qi. Ordinary ghosts were very sensitive to the Yang Qi of living people and were even somewhat allergic to it. Shen Xianlai was the exact opposite. He was not sensitive to the Yang Qi of living people at all.
Therefore, Shen Xianlai was a very special ghost. Rather than saying that he was a ghost, it would be more accurate to say that he was a human, a living person without a physical body, only a spiritual body.
Soon, Shen Xianlai found out the source of the Yin Qi. Two Black Impermanences holding iron chains were dragging an old ghost with a white beard that reached his chest. The old ghost seemed unwilling to leave and desperately wanted to turn around.
Gu Xiyang was in a mess. Many Soulbringers were unwilling to go out to work. The fact that these two Black Impermanences were willing to go out to do business meant that they were brave warriors.
After the three ghosts approached, Shen Xianlai finally heard what they were arguing about. The old ghost wanted to beg the two reapers to give him a little more time to return to the world. Normally, he might be able to make an exception for the two ghosts. Unfortunately, evil spirits roamed the ancient ocean now. The reapers were afraid of him outside, so how could they dare to stay any longer? He wished he could take a rocket back to the Shing Wong Manor. He was also tired of this old ghost's entanglement.
Shen Xianlai was a busybody, but he didn't like to meddle in other people's business. Life and death were determined by fate. Many people wanted to live longer, but the messengers of death were only carrying out their own missions. Moreover, the Underworld did not have a Life and Death Book. They could not control the life and death of the human world at all. It was just that after the living died, the souls were captured by them and sent to the underworld. Even if the two messengers of death were willing to help the old ghost live for a while longer, it would not be called returning to life. It would be called moving a corpse.
Shen Xianlai unconsciously made way for Black Impermanence. When Yin Si was carrying out normal business, as long as he was not captured, he was still very willing to cooperate.
The two Black Impermanences had thought that Shen Xianlai was just a stranger. Now that he had stepped aside, they noticed him and realized that he was actually a ghost like them. When they looked again, they didn't dare to move forward.
