Zhang Xiaoyao followed the familiar taste, and a two-story small wooden building came into view, the same style as when Penglai Xiandao was in front of him. On the first floor, there is a plaque on the door that says: "Penglai Fish You", a pair of short wooden couplets are hung on both sides of the door frame, the upper couplet: "Streams and mountain streams", and the lower couplet: "Flowers are full of pleasure boats".

For a moment, Zhang Xiaoyao's mind was full of the scene of Ping'er grilling fish by the Penglai cruise ship and what she said: "Streams and mountain streams, flowers full of cruise ships, small bridges and flowing water, and I hate to see each other late." "Isn't this exactly the content of the couplet in your store about this Penglai fish? Why are there only the first two sentences?

Zhang Xiaoyao walked directly into the hall on the first floor, there was only one waiter in the store at this time, the smell of grilled fish was coming from the back of the hall, the waiter saw Zhang Xiaoyao come in, and said directly and politely: "Welcome to Penglai Fish Your Shop, Hello Sir, our store is a grilled fish shop approved by the Lord of the Gods, there are all kinds of delicious grilled fish in the world, do you want to come first?"

"Excuse me, what's your signature grilled fish?

"I'm sorry, sir, the shopkeeper has just left, and she is the only one who can cook the signature grilled fish. If you insist on your signature grilled fish, but you have to answer the couplet outside the door so that I can tell you where to eat the signature grilled fish. ”

Zhang Xiaoyao said the last two sentences of the couplet without thinking: "The small bridge flows, and it is too late to see each other." ”

"Sir, you ...... You can call me Yuqian, please come with me to the second floor. Zhang Xiaoyao obviously saw the abnormality of the waiter Yuqian, and she was a little surprised and flustered just now.

Zhang Xiaoyao followed Yuqian directly to the second floor, which seemed to be a lounge, with only two rattan chairs and a wooden table.

"You, please be seated, the shopkeeper explained before leaving, if the person who answered the couplet can eat the three dishes of grilled fish she made herself. Please wait, I'll come when I go. ”

After a while, Yuqian came to the second floor with a large plate, she put three plates of unique grilled fish on the wooden table and said: "Sir, this first grilled fish is called the original heart, you can only understand it when you eat it from the head to the tail, please taste it." ”

Zhang Xiaoyao picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, but it was plain and bland, as if a person had just come to the world.

He then put it in his mouth again, and it was a sweet and spicy alternating taste that lingered for a long time, like the innocence of childhood, cheerful and sweet. Like a beautiful youth, sweet makes people unforgettable. Like a sad past, it is spicy and makes people cry.

"Sir, this second dish of grilled fish is called warmth, it is suitable for you to taste alone, I will go there to rest for a while, you can call me if you have something." ”

Zhang Xiaoyao couldn't help but pick up a piece of the second grilled fish and took a bite, it turned out to be the taste of grilled paste, it was exactly the same taste when Ping'er made grilled fish for the first time in Penglai, Zhang Xiaoyao unconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, and it was really black.

Zhang Xiaoyao then ate one piece after another, and the taste gradually changed, fragrant, sweet, and mixed, it was exactly the same as the taste of Ping'er's second, third, and tenth grilled fish in Penglai, this is the warm taste that Ping'er said.

"Ping'er, I know this is a grilled fish you made yourself, but where did you go?"

Yuqian heard Zhang Xiaoyao's whisper, she walked over, and then motioned to Zhang Xiaoyao to taste the last grilled fish: "Sir, this last grilled fish is called the afterlife, you'd better eat only one piece." ”

"The afterlife? the afterlife...... Why is it called the afterlife?" Zhang Xiaoyao quickly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and an extreme sour and bitter taste reached the tip of his tongue, as if it was really like the afterlife, endless sour and bitter after parting. After the bitterness, there is a faint sweetness, may the next life be as beautiful as meeting you.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyao's two tears fell on the grilled fish in the next life, and after eating these three grilled fish, she finally understood the meaning of Ping'er's expression.

"Yuqian, tell me, where did she go to Ping'er? Did she say anything to you? Tell me quickly, Ping'er must be in danger. Zhang Xiaoyao hurriedly grabbed Yuqian's arm and asked.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but before leaving, the shopkeeper just told me that only those who are destined can taste these three grilled fish that she left with her own hands, and I don't know where she went. ”

Zhang Xiaoyao let go of Yuqian's arm and was about to go downstairs, but heard Yuqian behind him answer: "Sir, if you want to find her, it may have something to do with the Lord of the Heavenly Gods in the portrait." Because I heard the shopkeeper secretly say to the portrait of the Lord of the Gods, it was not him, it must not be him. ”

"Yuqian, thank you, I understand. After Zhang Xiaoyao finished speaking, he turned into a streamer and disappeared on the second floor of Penglai Fish.

Yuqian, who was left, rubbed her eyes in disbelief, she really didn't see what the gentleman who had been wearing a depressed hat looked like and how he got out.

"I hope you can save the shopkeeper, you are so powerful, can you save our world?"

Zhang Xiaoyao walked alone on the street, and everywhere he could hear many people talking about something: "Have you heard? Tomorrow at noon, the Lord of the Gods will publicly execute the felons in the Tianshen Square, and those felons openly disobey the Lord of the Gods, and they also want to blow up the court of the Lord of the Gods. ”

"Lao Wang, you have to ask me about this, I saw it with my own eyes, they were all arrested one by one, and a very delicate and beautiful little girl was also arrested. That's a miserable thing, they are covered in blood and tied directly to the cross, and then the knife will fall and people die!"

"Lao Li, don't say it, I've really seen that little girl, she is the owner of Penglai fish! ”

"You don't even know where the Tianshen Square is? It's the original Tianzhong, phew! Call you cheap! The Tianshen Square is the Tianshen Square, follow the avenue in front of you all the way to the north, and you can see it. ”

When Zhang Xiaoyao came to this city, he never found an old man, who was the Lord of the Heavenly Gods who looked exactly like him, why did he call his name, and what was his purpose?

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyao heard Ping'er's news, it turned out that they were actually captured by the devil, Zhang Xiaoyao clenched his hands, his nails had cut his palms, and drops of blood dripped on the ground, but he didn't feel the slightest pain. His dark eyes didn't know what to think, and he disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.

After a few breaths, Zhang Xiaoyao had already come to the edge of the so-called Tianshen Square, where thick pillars were erected, dozens of large braziers were erected next to the pillars, and alien demons of different appearances were guarding the pillars, waiting for them.

Zhang Xiaoyao has been lurking, waiting for the opportunity to save the old man who was arrested. In the blink of an eye, the morning sun of dawn seems to have begun to become extremely dim, as if it is covered with a black veil.

It was spring, and the flowers were supposed to be blooming, but Zhang Xiaoyao saw the flowers on the roadside withering and the plants and trees falling leaves, and it seemed that it was autumn in a blink of an eye. It was still noon, and the sky was cloudless and windless, and the sky was getting darker.

Zhang Xiaoyao rolled out a palm of life without a trace, and landed on the flowers and trees, they really stopped falling leaves and withered, but in a blink of an eye, they changed back to the same appearance just now, as if someone was extracting the vitality of this world.

Tianshen Square was already surrounded by a crowd of people watching at this moment, they were used to seeing flowers withering and leaves falling, and they didn't know that Zhang Xiaoyao had discovered the secret of being extracted from the vitality of this world.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaoyao heard someone in the crowd say that there was only half an hour left before the noon execution, but there was still no figure of Ping'er and the old people.

Suddenly, three alien demons with extremely powerful breaths descended from the sky in the Heavenly God Square, one of them was an eight-winged spirit clan, a tall half-orc, and a six-headed and twelve-armed demon clan.

Zhang Xiaoyao tried his best to hide his aura, because he clearly felt that the aura of each of the three demons was more than ten times stronger than his own, presumably they were the Tongxian level who had completely stepped through that step or the Heavenly Immortal level above the Tongxian level.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Xiaoyao finally saw Ping'er and a group of familiar old people, Senior Brother Lin Lang, Long Shao, Wang Fatzi and others, escorted by the demon and tied to the thick pillars on the Tianshen Square.

Immediately behind them, a black-clothed and black-robed celestial god who looked exactly like himself appeared, and the moment he appeared, Zhang Xiaoyao's mind was stunned, and the connection between his mind was directly cut off, it turned out that he was the shadow clone he had never seen in the Netherworld.

The three powerful demons on the stage glanced at the so-called Lord of the Celestials with disdain, but they didn't show it particularly obviously. Zhang Xiaoyao has been blending in the crowd and staring at the stage, and the performance of the three powerful demons is also unmistakable, in Zhang Xiaoyao's eyes, the shadow clone should be controlled by them.

"Even if you are several times stronger than me, even if you die here today, I, Zhang Xiaoyao, will not survive secretly, and I will not watch Ping'er and them not save me. Zhang Xiaoyao was determined in his heart to use all his means to save people.
