Ning Caichen was naturally very happy that Xu Yang was willing to travel with him. After all, the world was hard and he might be killed at any time along the way. Xu Yang seemed to be a successful cultivator, so it was naturally much safer to travel with him.
The story of A Chinese Ghost Story did not last long. Even with the plot of the second movie, it should not be long. Therefore, Xu Yang was not in a hurry. He walked side by side with Ning Caichen and chatted casually with him.
Although Ning Caichen was a scholar, he wasn't the kind of scholar who didn't pay attention to the outside world. Therefore, from Ning Caichen's words, Xu Yang gradually gained some understanding of the situation in this world.
Just as Xu Yang thought, it was a chaotic world now. Bandits were rampant, and the officialdom was dark. Everyone would do anything to survive. In addition, demons were rampant. The whole world was in an unpredictable chaos.
Everyone knew about chaotic times, but what was it really like? To be honest, Xu Yang had never seen it before. This time, he could take a good look at what the chaotic world looked like.
Xu Yang remembered that in the second book of A Chinese Ghost Story, even the current state preceptor was a centipede spirit who had successfully cultivated.
After walking for a few hours, Ning Caichen was out of breath. Xu Yang was not flushed or out of breath. However, Ning Caichen's stomach grumbled on the way, making him blush.
Seeing Ning Caichen's expression, Xu Yang smiled and said," Since you're hungry, let's sit down and eat before leaving."
" Taoist priest, I'm so sorry." Ning Caichen sat down and took off his luggage. He took out a palm-sized pancake and said to Xu Yang," I only have this piece of pancake in my hand. I'll give you half."
As he spoke, Ning Caichen tried to break the cake, but his face was flushed red. He couldn't break the cake. Ning Caichen looked even more embarrassed. He took the cake and knocked it on the stone. The cake didn't break, but the stone was broken in half. Looking at the cracked stone on the ground and then looking at the cake that was still intact, Ning Caichen was dumbfounded.
Xu Yang couldn't help but laugh when he saw the unbelievably hard pancake. When he watched the original novel, he saw this scene at the beginning of the novel. The pancake was so hard that Ning Caichen cracked the rock. In the end, he had no choice but to kick the pancake away and even broke his shoe. It was one thing to watch the movie, but it was another thing to see it with his own eyes now.
"Now I finally know why you were able to travel safely. It turns out that you still have such a killing weapon in your hand. Others will naturally be on guard against knives, spears, swords, and sticks. If you take this cake out to smash people, they will not be on guard and will immediately fall for it.”，Looking at the pancake in Ning Caichen's hand, Xu Yang couldn't help but tease him with a smile.
"Taoist priest, don't tease me.”，Ning Caichen scratched his head. A pancake that could be cracked open by a stone was naturally inedible. He threw the pancake aside awkwardly.
"Alright, stop eating your hard pancakes. Let's make two bowls of noodles.”，Xu Yang said with a smile.
"Noodles?" Ning Caichen was baffled. How could he cook two bowls of noodles in this desolate mountain without any cooking utensils?
" Watch me perform a magic trick for you," Xu Yang smiled at Ning Caichen's stunned expression and said.
With a bang, a cardboard box suddenly appeared.
"There's an egg!" Ning Caichen couldn't understand the chocolate, bread, and ham inside the box, but he could recognize the packaged marinated eggs. His eyes lit up and he couldn't help but swallow.
Xu Yang took out two barrels of instant noodles, a few pieces of ham, two pieces of bread, a few braised eggs, and two bottles of mineral water and coke. Then, he packed the big box again.
He took out a stainless steel bowl and boiled some hot water. Then, Xu Yang came out with two buckets of instant noodles. In an instant, the fragrance of the instant noodles spread out, making Ning Caichen sniff hard.
Ning Caichen had been staring at Xu Yang's actions ever since he took out the big box. He didn't recognize the bread, ham, and coke, but he thought they were all food. At least he recognized the braised egg and mineral water.
In this chaotic era, it was already considered a luxury to be able to eat a big white steamed bun while on the road. There were actually eggs here?
Ning Caichen's eyes were filled with admiration when he saw Xu Yang take back the huge box. There was a magical power called the World in the Sleeve in the myths. It was said to be a spell that only immortals could use. However, judging from the Taoist priest's means, it was comparable to the legendary World in the Sleeve.
The instant noodles, after being rinsed with boiling water, would immediately be filled with fragrance. The hungry Ning Caichen twitched his nose. The intoxicating fragrance made his stomach sound even louder.
Ning Caichen found it hard to believe that the white flatbread that was washed with plain water could become so fragrant in such a short time. Could this be the delicacy of immortals? Licking his lips, Ning Caichen felt lucky that he could have the chance to eat a heavenly delicacy one day.
Well, in the real world, instant noodles might really be just junk food, but it was undeniable that the fragrance of instant noodles could really make people's fingers move. Especially for people like Ning Caichen who were hungry, his eyes lit up, and the fragrance made him greedily inhale.
Taoist priest, can we eat this?" Ning Caichen rubbed his hands in embarrassment and asked.
He really couldn't understand. Even if it was to cook noodles, it would take so long. However, the Taoist priest just rinsed it with water. In just a few seconds, it was so fragrant? He didn't even need to cook? This was indeed a divine delicacy.
"Alright, you can eat now." Seeing Ning Caichen's impatient look, Xu Yang smiled and brought a bucket to Ning Caichen. Then, he peeled the braised egg and ham and threw them into the broth.
Ning Caichen couldn't wait any longer. He picked up a plastic fork and took a big bite of the noodles like Xu Yang.
" Ah…it's so hot…Phew…Delicious…"
Ning Caichen let out a cry when he took a big mouthful of scalding noodles. However, he was reluctant to spit it out. He endured the heat and ate it. Then, he widened his eyes and said," Is this the noodles that immortals eat?" This delicacy was indeed incomparable to the noodles eaten by mortals. It really made people want to swallow their tongues.
Xu Yang took a bite of bread and noodles. He looked at Ning Caichen's dazed expression. It was just instant noodles, but it was as if he had eaten dragon liver and phoenix marrow. This made Xu Yang feel very interesting.
Ning Caichen licked his lips. The taste was really memorable. He looked at the braised egg, bread, and ham. Ning Caichen also peeled them like Xu Yang did just now. Well, they didn't taste as good as the noodles, but they were still pretty good and fragrant.
" Phew…I'm so full…" Ning Caichen finished a bucket of instant noodles, a piece of bread, two braised eggs, and a ham. He looked very satisfied. He rubbed his belly and lay on the lawn, sighing inwardly. This was indeed a divine delicacy. Today's meal could be said to be the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life.
After finishing everything, Ning Caichen held a can of Coke in his hand. It was sealed with an iron sheet, but he didn't know how to open it. Ning Caichen looked at Xu Yang in a daze.
" It's called Coke. Well, it's a drink similar to tea," Xu Yang said to Ning Caichen as he pulled the tab.
"Drinks? After eating this delicacy, there were still drinks?”，He imitated Xu Yang and pulled the tab on the can. He took a sip and found it very delicious.
This made Ning Caichen feel that he could eat so well on the road. In this era, everyone who was on the road only brought some dry food with them. They didn't even think about eating anything good. However, today's meal was far more delicious than Ning Caichen had imagined. The best thing he had eaten in his life was braised pork, but compared to Taoist priest's immortal noodles, it was like cloud mud.
