All in all, this was a city that was built purely for fist techniques and battles, just like all the towns in the World of Fist God.
On the street, a few priests of the Fist God's Temple, whose bodies were covered in tattoos, walked past with solemn expressions.
Gus and Grey hurried to hide in a corner, feeling that the steam balls in their baskets had become extremely heavy and hot.
Swallowing, the siblings began to search along the wall.
In the notes left by their dad, there were secret codes for the communication between machines and steam believers.
In particular, Qianyuan City, which was the closest city in the north to the Red Gold Town, there was a large altar for machines and steam believers. It could be considered their headquarters within a thousand kilometers. Their dad had been here many times to participate in the activities of the machines and steam believers. That was why he had been able to return to the Red Gold Town to build his own underground laboratory.
According to the notes, the siblings soon found the secret codes on a greasy wall in the south of the city, which was a residential area where restaurants were gathered.
It was an irregular circle, with a few streaks that represented flames inside. The strokes were clumsy and looked like children's graffiti. It was impossible to notice them unless one paid attention. Even if one did notice them, they wouldn't understand what they meant.
But Gus and Grey knew that the circle represented the steam engine, and the flames naturally represented the burning power source inside the steam engine.
Therefore, Gus let them out, and Grey picked up a stone and added a few lines that represented steam to the pattern. One of the lines was particularly long and pointed to the left.
Then, Gus and Grey walked to the left of the pattern and sat down, pretending that they were taking a break after walking for a long time.
According to their dad's notes, there were always people from machines and steam believers monitoring the secret codes. Soon, they would discover that someone had added a few lines to the pattern.
Then, they would be able to follow the direction of the longest steam line and find them.
Both Gus and Grey narrowed their eyes and looked around. They didn't know who would be the monitor and the receiver among the crowd on the street.
The waiter of the restaurant across the street was yelling loudly. The owner of the weapons shop next to him was knocking out swords and shields with a "ding ding dang dang dang" sound. Further away was a clinic where people could massage and massage the muscles, as well as treat animals with knives and axes. On the other side of the road, there were a few children playing wrestling with a "ping ping ping pong" sound. Everyone looked suspicious, but they didn't seem to be the culprit if they looked closely.
At this time, among the children who were wrestling, there was a thin child with yellow hair. He was thrown down by his companions again, and his face was bruised and swollen. He couldn't help but cry.
The other children laughed aloud and showed off without any sympathy. The strong preyed on the weak, and the winner was king. That was a principle that all the children in the World of Fist God understood.
The thin, yellow-haired child was so angry that he got up and ran away without looking back. He stopped playing with his companions and ran to Gus and Grey and sat down beside them.
Gus and his sister were waiting for someone to pick them up. Of course, they didn't want to be spoiled by a kid.
Unexpectedly, when they were about to drive the yellow-haired child away, the child, who was holding his head with both hands and seemed to be crying silently, suddenly made a squeaking sound through the gaps between his fingers.
The sound was very soft. In the ears of those who didn't know what was going on, it was no different from a normal cry.
But when Gus and Grey heard it, they were stunned and couldn't believe their ears.
The yellow-haired child was imitating the sound of boiling water.
According to the legends, the sages of the School of Machinery and Steam had comprehended the most mysterious truth from the boiling and screaming of hot water.
"Squeak, squeak!" The yellow-haired child continued to squeak.
"Wu …" Gus tried to imitate the sound of the steam whistle and responded.
In the ears of the passers-by, the two of them were making meaningless sounds.
Even if they were discovered, there was no evidence. It was said that they were shouting a heretical slogan.
Only the two of them knew that the secret signal matched.
The yellow-haired child was still holding his head in his hands. His shoulders were shaking as if he was crying very sadly.
But he moved his butt closer to Gus and whispered in a very low voice, "The third shop on the left is called 'Li's Beef Soup'. Go in and tell the waiter that you want two bowls of beef noodles, thick noodles, heavy green and spicy noodles, two poached eggs, and a plate of beef tongue. The waiter will say, 'We don't have beef tongue.' Then you will say, 'Then you will get a plate of beef tripe.'"
After saying that, the yellow-haired child walked away as if nothing had happened. It was as if he didn't know Gus and his sister at all.
Gus and Grey looked at each other and felt that it was unbelievable.
They raised their heads and looked at the restaurant across from them. There was indeed a 'Li's Beef Soup' in the smoke-filled restaurant.
It wasn't dinner time, but the restaurant was still bustling with people. It seemed that this restaurant had good food, which was why there were so many customers.
Even the chimney in the back kitchen of the restaurant was emitting smoke day and night.
Gus and Grey walked in and were pushed to a corner. They had to wait for a long time before a waiter came up to greet them.
The two of them followed the child's instructions and told the waiter the exact same thing. The waiter yelled loudly and really served them two bowls of green and spicy noodles with a poached egg and a plate of tripe.
The two of them looked at each other, but the beef noodles here were really good. The soup was mellow, the noodles were chewy, and the poached eggs were still dripping with sugar. The two of them had been running in the forest in the heavy rain for several days. They had been eating and sleeping in the wild for a long time. They had been suffering for a long time. So, they immediately gobbled down the food and burped.
At this time, the waiter came up and asked them to pay the bill as if nothing had happened.
The two of them were puzzled. They stared at the waiter for a long time, wondering what was going on. Were they really here to eat?
They paid the bill in confusion. When they were about to go out and ask the yellow-haired child again, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper came up and asked them politely what was in the basket.
The two of them looked at each other and said that they were pheasants and ducks that had just been hunted in the mountains.
The shopkeeper said that the shop happened to be buying a few pheasants and ducks to make soup. He asked them to check if the pheasants and ducks were fresh in the kitchen. As long as the food was good, the price would be negotiable.
Gus's heart skipped a beat. He gently pulled Grey and followed the manager to the kitchen.
As they expected, after passing through the smoky kitchen, a few brawny men with fierce faces and murderous auras approached them.
"Did you draw the pattern on the wall?"
A fat man who was wearing a greasy apron and looked like a chef said coldly. "How do you know the pattern? What are you doing here?"
"We saw the pattern in our father's notes."
Gus made up his mind and said, "We're here to find Luo Xinglong, Uncle Luo!"
Luo Xinglong was the heavily wounded disciple of machinery and steam that the two of them's father, 'Glenn', had met near Red Gold Town.
He was also the guide for the fist technique genius Glenn to step into the path of evil.
