Chapter 37 Scallion Pancakes
Zhou Tian was in a coma for unknown reason, but when he woke up again, he was already in Mo Xuan’s tavern.
Lying on the bed, he was still a little drowsy.
He looked around and his throat was a little dry and he was about to get out of bed and drink some water.
At this time, Mo Xuan came in with a plate of food and tea. Seeing Zhou Tian woke up, he came to his bed and helped him up.
"Junior Brother Zhou Tian woke up? I didn't expect you to recover so quickly. This made your old Xu and Mr. Hu very anxious."
Zhou Tian swallowed and pointed to the cup of tea on the table.
"oh."
Immediately, Mo Xuan handed him the teacup, Zhou Tian drank it all, and said happily: "Ah, good tea! I'm almost thirsty when I've been in the Thousand Spirit Tower for so long."
"How long have I been fainting?"
Zhou Tian turned his face to look at Mo Xuan, with a little more impatient look in his eyes.
"You have been in a coma for two days since that night, and today is the third day."
Zhou Tian was shocked when he heard Mo Xuan's words.
"This is not a delay in the itinerary. I have been in Dongchu for several days, but now I haven't even entered Xiyun Palace yet. Let the academy know. Do you think I'm intentionally delaying?"
After that, I'm going to get out of bed.
"What's the matter? The academy promised to accept you, and she wouldn't change her words. Even if you only arrive at the academy next year, the Master wouldn't say anything, let alone the disciples of the academy."
Zhou Tian doesn’t need to look at it, you can hear the voice that it is Lao Xu who speaks.
"Old Xu?"
Seeing that his face had almost recovered, Xu Qingnian stepped forward and looked at his wrist again. The Qihai vein disappeared again and sighed.
"Hey, I really don't know what your Qihai vein means, it will disappear later..."
Zhou Tian looked at Lao Xu's helpless expression and smiled: "It's okay, Lao Xu, I've been used to it. Anyway, when I arrived at the academy, my master will naturally teach me to break through the Qihai. It's okay."
When Xu Qingnian heard his words, he narrowed his eyes, nodded and smiled, "After the postgraduate entrance examination in Qianling Tower, the young master has indeed changed a lot. You should rest for a day first. Let's get up early tomorrow and go to Xiyun Palace. Nothing can hinder us this time."
After hearing this, Zhou Tian thought about it and thought of Lu Wu who was tamed by himself, and asked curiously.
"Old Xu, what about my self-defense beast? Why don't you see its shadow?"
Zhou Tian finally subdued Lu Wu, so of course he had to look at his spoils.
Xu Qingnian smiled with her hands facing him with her back.
"Haha, I almost forgot if you don't say it. Lu Wu is a precious alien beast in the world. You can use it as a self-defense beast. You are the only one in the world."
"Don't worry, remember what I said? The reason why the self-defense beast is called self-defense is that it will appear when you are in a critical moment. Otherwise, you can only wait until you reach the realm of Qi Zun to summon it to appear at any time."
Xu Qingnian's explanation was unclear. According to him, why did his self-defense beast disappear? And Mo Xuan's, even he had never seen it.
Zhou Tian pouted and his eyes rolled around.
"Where is Old Xu, Senior Brother Mo Xuan, Mr. Hu's self-defense beast?"
After hearing this, Xu Qingnian smiled at Mo Xuan: "Hmph, the self-defense beasts of the academy students cannot be seen by others at will. If they are seen, it will cause a lot of trouble to the disciples who hold the self-defense beasts, especially outsiders, and it is okay for their own students."
Then, Xu Qingnian activated Qi Hai, and his sleeves shook, and a bead as big as a round palm appeared in front of him.
Xu Qingnian handed the bead to Zhou Tian and said, "Look at the things inside the bead carefully and you will understand."
Zhou Tian was a little heavy when he first received the bead. He did not recover all his strength and almost failed to catch it and let it fall to the ground.
So I put it on the bed, looked carefully at the things in the bead, and calmed down and found that there was a strange beast inside the bead, but I couldn't call it a name.
"So your self-defense beasts are all in such beads."
"Well, yes, we can smash the beads to the ground at any time, and the self-defense beast will come out to fight side by side with us, but generally there are very few cases where the self-defense beast comes out to help you, unless the enemy you are facing cannot be controlled, cannot be defeated, and even life-threatening will be activated."
After Xu Qingnian finished speaking, Zhou Tian nodded in a vague way, looked at the bead on the bed, and played with it carefully.
"Okay, you have a rest, don't think about anything else, we'll set off tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Xu Qingnian shook his cuffs again, and the beads slid in with a "scream".
Before leaving, Xu Qingnian looked back and smiled, and the strange smile made Zhou Tian shudder.
"Old Xu? Is there anything wrong?"
Xu Qingnian's smile on his face made Zhou Tian much embarrassed for a moment.
"Young Master, I can see your strength clearly. Even the old master came forward in person to let me bring you back safely."
"Since you came out of Tianqian Town, your every move is in my eyes. Your growth is not a little bit. I think the master will definitely be the same as me when he knows it, and he can't stop smiling, haha."
Listening to Xu Qingnian's inexplicable praise, he was a little flattered, and his eyes didn't know where to look.
As Mo Xuan and Xu Qingnian left, the room calmed down again. He leaned against the bed, looked at Luan Feng hanging on the wall, and flew through his mind again countless previous scenes, but the only thing that he could not forget for a long time was Beimo's secluded.
This time, I successfully passed the Thousand Spirit Tower, and I probably rely on the power given by Youyou to persevere until now.
Thinking of Youyou and his father made him feel even more restless.
One more day of waiting will bring more danger to your father and Youyou. Although Xuantian Sect has the support of the Master of the academy and Shangguo in Beimo, it will eventually not quench the near thirst. Once something unexpected happens, the father's energy will be completely destroyed. Youyou is the daughter, what should you do then?
Thinking of this, he raised his energy, put on his clothes, pushed open the door of the room with Shangluanfeng, and walked out.
But just as he was about to go out of the tavern, Hu Sanhai stopped him in front of his chest.
"What are you doing? The injuries you have all your body should have just recovered. Are you going to leave now?"
Hu Sanhai held a large scallion pancake in one hand and grabbed Zhou Tian's collar with the other.
"Let me go! I have to arrive at the academy as soon as possible to protect my father and Youyou, otherwise there will be no meaning to enter the academy this time."
Zhou Tian wanted to pull Hu Sanhai's hand away, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it.
"Hurry up and go back, don't say you can protect your family or your relatives. Now you can't even protect yourself."
Zhou Tian was helpless, his health was not as good as before, and he could not break free from Hu Sanhai at all, so he could only follow him back to the room.
After returning to the room, Hu Sanhai found Xu Qingnian and Mo Xuan.
The three of them stared at Zhou Tian with extremely serious eyes, and Hu Sanhai was still holding the cake in his hand.
"Hey, your scallion oil pancake, this town is not like Tianqian Town, and scallion oil pancake can only be achieved at this level."
Hu Sanhai tilted his head and looked at Xu Qingnian with disgust and said, "I will leave when you finish eating this cake. You know how to go next."
Then, Xu Qingnian took the cake, said nothing, and started eating.
When Zhou Tian heard that Mr. Hu was about to leave, his eyes moved slightly, and looked at the other two people in front of him but had no reaction.
Looking at Lao Xu's eating behavior again, he looks like a child.
"Mr. Hu, are you leaving?"
"Well... the taste of this cake is still a bit worse than what the master made, but it's somewhat interesting."
Lao Xu muttered while eating. On weekdays, Zhou Tian didn't know that Lao Xu loved to eat cakes so much. Most of the time, he didn't notice that his father had served in the kitchen. Zhou Tian, who was a little curious, couldn't help but feel disgusted when he looked at his eating behavior.
"As for Mr. Hu, he will not always follow us. There are many things in the academy. Even if I have left the academy for so long, I know that every time Mr. Hu has finished selecting you freshmen, he will be sent to this tavern. As long as he can pass the test of the Thousand Spirit Tower next, he will complete his mission and go back to report his life."
"So it's no big deal. You'll see him again after a few days."
Zhou Tian looked at him and pointed with his finger.
"this?"
Hu Sanhai then stood up, crossed his waist and looked at Xu Qingnian beside him and said with a smile: "Your old Xu has loved eating cakes since he was a child, and he only ate scallion pancakes. I heard that the master said that Xu Qingnian has been very bitter since he was a child. It is his happiest thing to eat a few cakes every year."
"So, whenever he encounters something difficult or something happy, he will eat cake. This is his habit and his paranoia, which has been like this for decades."
"I think decades ago, when he was as young as you, when he just stepped into the gate of the academy, you could smell the rich green oil on his body, haha."
The more I listened to Zhou Tian, the more interesting he felt. I didn’t expect that he still had such a paranoid hobby at such an old age. A scallion pancake was so delicious. It was really a once-in-a-century experience, but when I looked closely, I still felt a little incongruous.
After a while, Xu Qingnian finished eating the cake and even burped.
"Okay, it's getting late, please leave quickly. The young master and I will go to Xiyun Palace tomorrow to get the object, and we will see you again soon."
Mo Xuan also stood up and bowed to Hu Sanhai.
"Okay, I'll leave..."
Then, Hu Sanhai took out the Xuantian Wudi Ruler and jumped, and a breeze came and disappeared.
"What? You need to pick up objects!"
Zhou Tian heard Lao Xu say that, he was a little confused. He clearly told himself that he was to take something to subdue a strange beast, but why did another one appear?
The feeling of being cheated and being tricked made Zhou Tian really unbearable. The whole intention of killing was written on his face and he roared: "What do you mean? Why do you always say half of it and hide half of it? What is this object?"
Seeing that Zhou Tian was extremely angry, Mo Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and asked him to sit down, and said earnestly: "It is the academy rule that enters the city to collect things, but it is also true that the self-defense beasts are not false. Senior Xu, Mr. Hu, I deceived you because I am afraid that you will be afraid of the Thousand Spirit Tower, so..."
"So what? After all, I am worried that I will be afraid of being in danger, and I will retreat when I hear that the Thousand Spirit Tower is so dangerous."
"Old Xu! They don't understand me, you don't understand yet. I, Zhou Tian, are you the kind of person who is greedy for life and fear of death? Besides, even if I am afraid and afraid, I will stick to it for my father, Youyou, and the dead mother."
"Old Xu! You disappointed me so much."
