Looking south to Buzhou, Nanming Kingdom, and Mohua County.
Mohua City is very large, and there are many pedestrians coming and going on the streets. Among them, you can see some immortal cultivators wearing sect costumes. There are also all kinds of shops, and it is a bustling scene. If you take Qingfeng City and Mohua
Compared with the city, the two cities are not comparable at all. After all, Mohua City is also the main city of Mohua County.
It was almost lunch time, and a four-story restaurant in the city named "Pinxianju" was already full of diners.
For ordinary restaurants, it is unimaginable that all four floors are already full before dinner time. But in Pinxianju, this scene has long become the norm, because Pinxianju is not
An ordinary restaurant, it is a fairy kitchen restaurant.
The kitchen of Pinxianju is very large, with more than a dozen immortal chefs busy inside.
If you are the back cook of an ordinary restaurant, and more than ten chefs are cooking at the same time, then no matter how fragrant the smell of a single dish is, when the smells of so many dishes are mixed together, the smell will hardly be called attractive. However,
After all, Pinxianju is a Xianchu restaurant. The smells produced by more than a dozen chefs cooking dishes at the same time are still mouth-watering after being mixed together. Even the waiters who are used to smelling the smell of Xianchu dishes enter the back kitchen to serve the dishes.
When I drink it, I still can't help but take a few deep breaths intoxicated.
"Is the food ordered by the customer at table seven ready?"
A middle-aged Taoist man entered the kitchen.
"Shopkeeper, the dish ordered by the customer at table 7 will take a while to be ready. The stew time of this dish is not enough, and the flavor will not come out at all."
The Fat Immortal Chef, who was being questioned by the middle-aged Taoist, didn't even turn around as he spoke. He was concentrating on using the Fire Control Technique to stimulate the fire. His eyes were fixed on the milky white soup boiling in the clay pot, as if he was afraid of missing something.
Same.
"It's okay, it's just that the guests at table No. 7 were busy, so I had to come over and have a look! Just cook the dishes as you should, and don't spoil the taste just because the guests are anxious." said the middle-aged Taoist.
"Shopkeeper, I know." Fat Immortal Chef said.
"Mr., don't pay much attention to that table of guests from now on. Every time I like to order dishes that take a long time to cook, and I like to rush them every time, it seems like I have a sense of superiority." A young woman was cooking on the stove on the other side.
He spoke.
The young woman was very beautiful, and her cooking skills were so flawless that the middle-aged Taoist was a little crazy.
"Master said that the shopkeeper should not pay attention to the guests at that table. He can only deal with it with his words."
A cook said this, then looked at the young woman and said: "Master, if we were in Jixiang Xiaozhu, we would definitely not accept such guests, right?"
"Jixiang Xiaozhu does not accept requests for food. This is the rule of the store. Customers who break the rules will naturally not be accepted."
Mentioning Jixiang Xiaozhu, pride appeared on the young woman's face, but after she finished speaking, she sighed again.
"I wonder how Jixiang Xiaozhu is doing these past few years? How is sir?" the young woman murmured.
"Madam, why don't we find some time and go back to Jixiang Xiaozhu?"
The middle-aged Taoist's eyes lit up, and his voice was full of emotion.
"How can we leave? If both of us leave, Pinxianju won't turn into a mess?" The young woman sighed again.
The middle-aged Taoist said nothing more, but memories surged in his mind. He thought of many people he would often think of. When the images of these memories settled on a young man, the middle-aged Taoist murmured: "Old man
Zu, how have you been these past few years?"
The person called "Ancestor" by the middle-aged Taoist is naturally Gu Zheng, while the middle-aged Taoist and the young woman are Yunqing Zhenren and Jin Yan respectively.
After leaving Jixiang Xiaozhu that year, Master Yunqing and Jin Yan traveled around, and finally came from Dongsheng Yingzhou to Nanzhan Buzhou, and opened this Xianxianju restaurant in Mohua City.
The kitchen shop has more than a dozen apprentices.
Due to Yunqing's poor talent in cooking, he did not learn cooking from Gu Zheng in Jixiang Xiaozhu. Therefore, in Pinxianju, his identity is only the shopkeeper of this restaurant, managing the kitchen and teaching.
The cooking skills of the disciples are all Jin Yan's responsibility.
Master Yunqing is very idle. He is said to be the shopkeeper of Pinxianju, but in fact he does not take care of things very much. There is a special accounting room for things like settling accounts. At most, he can just socialize with regular customers and take care of some things that need to be negotiated.
Business. After all, fairy coins are not the only currency in circulation in Xianchu shop. There are some things involving resource exchange that ordinary clerks cannot handle.
On the one hand, he is too busy, and on the other hand, he is too bored to stay in the front, so Master Yunqing likes to go into the kitchen when he has nothing to do, even if he is quietly immersed in memories, or watching Jin Yan cooking, this is all for him.
It's a kind of enjoyment.
"Shopkeeper, the guests from Qingfeng Pavilion are looking for you."
The waiter's voice interrupted Master Yunqing's enjoyment.
"Just come!"
Master Yunqing responded, raised his legs and left the kitchen.
There are private rooms in Pinxian Ju. This is a private room that requires additional payment of fairy coins to enter.
Among the ten private rooms in Pinxianju, Qingfeng Pavilion is the most expensive. The private room fee alone costs five Blue Fairy Coins. There are also certain requirements for entering and ordering dishes. It cannot be lower than the limit in this private room.
Price. The reason why the private room in Qingfeng Pavilion is the most expensive is naturally because the place in Qingfeng City has extraordinary significance to both Master Yunqing and Jin Yan.
When Master Yunqing went to the kitchen, there were four guests in the Qingfeng Pavilion. These four guests were an elder and three disciples of Lingyun Sect in Mohua City. Master Yunqing was also familiar with them.
Master Yunqing originally thought that the person who was looking for him was still the original guest, maybe because he wanted to add more dishes or something, but he didn't expect that after entering the private room, what he saw was a fat-looking man standing in front of the window.
figure.
"Fellow Taoist Xiong!"
Master Yunqing was full of surprises. Although he did not use the methods of a cultivator to feel the energy of that figure, just by looking at that figure, he could be 100% sure that the person standing in front of the window was the person he had not seen for many years.
There is no doubt that I will see Xiong San!
"Fellow Taoist Yunqing, you are welcome and safe!"
Xiong San turned his head, his trademark silly smile unable to conceal the vicissitudes of life on his face.
Master Yunqing's heart skipped a beat. In his impression, Xiong San always had a playful and smiling face. Even if he was unhappy, he definitely didn't have the sense of vicissitudes he feels now! What's more, in the case of Master Yunqing, a person who has been through this before.
In his eyes, the only explanation for the vicissitudes of life on Xiong San's face at this time was that he was hurt by love.
"Fellow Daoist Xiong, where is Miss Lingzhu?"
Master Yunqing really didn't want to ask this, but he couldn't help but ask.
When Xiong San left Jixiang Xiaozhu, he went to look for Lingzhu. He and Master Yunqing hadn't seen each other for so many years. When they met, they looked like they were hurt by love. This made Master Yunqing very curious. Lingzhu and Xiong San
What happened in between.
Faced with Master Yunqing's inquiry, Xiong San smiled bitterly: "Do you have any wine?"
"Yes, that's enough!" Master Yunqing said quickly.
Ten jars of fairy wine were quickly placed on the table, the kind that weighed two kilograms per jar, weighing a full twenty kilograms.
Master Yunqing originally wanted to take the wine bowl, but when he saw that after Xiong San patted the mud seal open, he was about to take the altar to drink, so he quickly raised the altar to welcome him.
The wine jars of the two people collided together. Master Yunqing took a deep sip of the aroma of the wine before drinking it. This fairy wine is a rare fairy fruit wine. The aroma of the wine is very rich. If it weren't for a distinguished guest like Xiong San, he would normally
Mr. Xia Yunqing will not sell it to guests for drinking.
However, compared to Master Yunqing, Xiong San did not smell deeply at all. He was not tasting, he wanted to get drunk! The light red wine just poured into his mouth like that, and waited.
When he put down the wine jar, he had already consumed two kilograms of fairy wine.
The fairy wine brewed by Jin Yan was very strong. Xiong San, who wanted to be drunk, did not use his fairy power to suppress the wine. After drinking these two kilograms of fairy wine, his face was already red and his eyes were filled with a hint of drunkenness.
"Gurgling..."
The sound of drinking heavily was heard again, and this time the person drinking heavily was Master Yunqing.
Master Yunqing could tell that Xiong San was in a bad mood, and also knew that Xiong San wanted to get drunk. He also planned to get drunk with Xiong San, but he didn't expect that Xiong San would ask for drunkenness in such a way.
"Fellow Taoist, you don't need to do this."
Looking at Master Yunqing who was drinking heavily, Xiong San's eyes turned red.
"Gurgling..."
Master Yunqing did not speak immediately. He drank all the jar of fairy wine and put it down before he smiled and said, "It's great. It's the first time I drank so much fairy wine in one go. It's so clear!"
"If you use the bowl, there is still business to be done in the store! Since we have opened this Xianchu store, business will naturally come,"
"What kind of business is not going to happen? We are a family! If my family is not in a good mood, why should I care about the business?"
Before Xiong could finish his three words, he was interrupted by Master Yunqing. Master Yunqing, who also did not use his immortal power to suppress his drunkenness, was also very drunk at this moment.
After hearing Master Yunqing's words, Xiong San was moved. He had already seen that Master Yunqing had planned to drink with him as much as he wanted today, so he said, "Then let's all use bowls!"
"You don't need the altar anymore? If you think using the altar is satisfying, let's continue to use the altar. You don't have to worry about Jinyan. Pindao will send a message to her now to tell her that you are here and let her take care of things in the store first.
." said Master Yunqing.
"Just drink from a bowl. You can still get drunk with a bowl anyway. This fairy wine must be brewed by Jin Yan, right? Drinking like this is a waste."
Xiong San paused: "As for informing Jin Yan..."
Seeing Xiong San smiling bitterly but hesitating to speak, Master Yunqing said: "Don't worry, Pindao knows how to tell her, let's drink just the two of us."
Master Yunqing certainly understood that Xiong San only wanted to talk to him alone at this moment.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist." Xiong San smiled bitterly again.
"What are you saying thanks for?"
After glaring at Xiong San, Master Yunqing sent a message to Jin Yan.
Jin Yan, who was cooking, heard that Xiong San had arrived, and her eyes immediately lit up, but after hearing Master Yunqing's words later, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Jin Yan was not angry because of what Master Yunqing said, but she felt very unhappy. There had been no news about Xiong San and Lingzhu for so many years. Who would have thought that when there was news again, it would not be good news.
"Why!"
Jin Yan sighed, turned to the immortal chefs in the kitchen and said, "Hurry up, try Xianju's signature eight dishes and two soups!"
Master Yunqing ordered four dishes and one soup. He knew that Xiong San, who wanted to get drunk today, actually had no intention of tasting the delicious food. But since Xiong San came to see him, he must treat him well. Jin Yan had already treated Xiong San
San is a family. Although she also wants to meet Xiong San, she understands that it is not convenient for a woman to go there at this time. She can only use generous hospitality to express her care and concern.
greeting.
"Master, what kind of guests are here? Do you need to rush?"
Someone asked curiously.
There are no rules in Pinxianju, but things like expediting rarely happen, which makes Jin Yan's disciples very curious.
"We have people coming to the house. The dishes should be cooked carefully. If anyone doesn't cook well, don't blame me for giving him a heavy punishment!" Jin Yan said seriously.
"Home?"
Jin Yan's disciples all widened their eyes. They did not feel that the heavy punishment was scary, but their eyes lit up because Jin Yan mentioned 'home', because they all knew that the home that Jin Yan mentioned must be the extreme punishment.
Xiangxiaozhu.
In Qingfeng Pavilion, Xiong San and Master Yunqing drank three bowls in a row. When the fourth bowl of wine was poured, Xiong San picked up the wine bowl and did not touch Master Yunqing again. He looked at the wine swaying in the bowl and began to talk.
What happened between him and Lingzhu.
Back in Jixiang Xiaozhu, Lingzhu left without saying goodbye.
Xiong San had a very bad feeling about the Lingzhu leaving without saying goodbye. He didn't wait for the Lingzhu for too long in Jixiang Xiaozhu and began to trace the whereabouts of the Lingzhu.
Since he and Lingzhu have been Taoist companions for many years, even if Lingzhu leaves without saying goodbye, Xiong San still has a way to sense her location.
Xiong San did not expect that this tracking path would last intermittently for fifteen years. During this period, the location of the spirit bead was either moving, or his sense of the spirit bead was lost.
During the fifteen years of suffering, Xiong San did not have any communication with the Lingzhu. He could only infer that the Lingzhu had been controlled by the angry waves. The angry waves had measures to cut off the connection between the Lingzhu and him, but they failed.
It has never been successful, which is why there is this intermittent loss of induction.
In the sixteenth year of Xiong San's search for the Lingzhu, he finally found the Lingzhu in the sea of despair in Nanzhan Buzhou.
Nu Tao is a demon cultivator in the sea and has the royal bloodline of the Abyss clan. Although this clan has declined, he still has many subordinates.
When Xiong San passed through all the way and entered the abyss, and saw the Lingzhu and Raging Waves, he was already seriously injured.
Xiong San's cultivation level is not very high. During the sixteen years of tracking the spirit bead, his cultivation level has almost not improved. He was able to pass through and enter the abyss to see the angry waves and the spirit beads. It was just the plan of the angry waves!
Moreover, if Lingzhu had not been resisting Nu Tao and threatening him with death, it would have been impossible for Xiong San to complete the victory. Nu Tao, who had taken the trouble to kill him, had killed him countless times.
The spirit bead has been controlled by Nu Tao, but that is not absolute control. The spirit bead is still of great use to Nu Tao, so Nu Tao has never done anything to her.
After Lingzhu saw Xiong San, she cried so much that Xiong San's heart was broken. She told Xiong San that her fate was already determined after she turned the 'blue coral' into an abyss treasure tree. She asked Xiong San not to be so stupid and forget.
There is such a person as her.
Xiong San naturally refused to give up the Lingzhu. For him, the Lingzhu had already been a part of his life.
Xiong San could not convince Lingzhu to go back with him, and Nu Tao certainly would not allow such a thing to happen. He told Xiong San that letting Xiong San enter the abyss to kill so many aquatic tribes was already a way for him to let Xiong San calm down.
Give in, if Xiong San still doesn't know how to advance or retreat, he doesn't mind trying to get the Lingzhu hurt, but he also wants to solve Xiong San's trouble.
Is Xiong San afraid of death? Xiong San is not afraid! If he was afraid of death, he would not go into the abyss without hesitation.
Since he couldn't take away the spirit bead, Xiong San didn't want to live anymore, so he launched a suicidal attack on Nu Tao.
Even if Xiong San launches a suicidal attack, he cannot be the opponent of Nu Tao. Seeing that Xiong San is about to be killed by Nu Tao, Lingzhu, who was originally controlled by Nu Tao, goes crazy.
Although Lingzhu was restrained by the angry waves, he has always been thinking of a way to get rid of the angry waves, but this is an extremely difficult road to take, and the chance of success is very slim. And the angry waves have never dared to go too far with the Lingzhu, except for the Lingzhu
In addition to being useful to him, if he pisses off the Lingzhu, he himself will not feel too good. After all, the Abyss Treasure Tree is already regarded as the Lingzhu's demon weapon. He has royal blood, although he has no control over the Abyss Treasure Tree.
Some of the control rights, but of the same control rights, less than half is still with the Lingzhu!
Lingzhu also cares about Xiong San very much. For her, if Xiong San is going to die, her survival will lose all meaning. Even if she can get out of trouble in the future, she will definitely become a walking corpse. This is not what she wants to see.
result.
Lingzhu's participation in the battle made Nu Tao furious, but from Nu Tao's point of view, the direction of the battle was still under his control.
Arrogant and furious, Nu Tao made a wrong move. After he beat Xiong San to a near-death state, he did not kill Xiong San immediately. He wanted Xiong San to see with his own eyes how he tortured Lingzhu to vent his anger.
purpose.
Xiong San is not an ordinary demon cultivator. When the angry waves tortured Lingzhu, he awakened the special magical power belonging to his second inner elixir. It was this magical power that changed the direction of the war. He and Lingzhu joined forces to kill
They lost the angry waves that could not have been killed by them.
Unfortunately, before his death, Nu Tao caused the Abyss Treasure Tree to turn into nothingness, and the Lingzhu also suffered fatal backlash. Xiong San could only watch as she disappeared with the Abyss Treasure Tree.
Xiong San wanted to follow the Lingzhu, but before the Lingzhu disappeared, he told him to live well.
After leaving the abyss, Xiong San wandered like a zombie for five years, and then found a place to sleep for thirty-five years.
The place where Xiong San slept actually belonged to Mohua City. After finishing his slumber, he came to Mohua City. Hearing about the Xianchu restaurant here, he came to take a look.
Xiong San talked about what happened between him and Lingzhu, and during this period he drank a jar of wine. He was swaying as he sat there.
The eight dishes and two soups on the table were put on the table while Xiong San was telling the story, but Xiong San, who wanted to get drunk, only tasted it.
Although the incident happened to Xiong San, Master Yunqing felt uncomfortable hearing it. During this period, Xiong San drank as much as he drank, and his body looked shaky.
"Do you want to continue drinking? Or should I arrange a place for you so you can have a good sleep first?"
Master Yunqing felt that he would collapse if he drank any more. He didn't know how to comfort Xiong San, so he could only say this.
"Have another bowl!"
Xiong San raised his wine bowl to Master Yunqing again, and after the two touched it, they drank it all in one gulp.
Master Yunqing originally thought that Xiong San could drink some more, but who would have thought that Xiong San would lie down on the ground after just one bowl of wine.
