Chapter 34: Were You a Member of Qingyunmen Before?
Heyang City, located fifty miles south of Qingyun Mountain, is the largest and most prosperous place within a radius of 100 miles. The city has a population of at least 200,000 to 300,000 people, and its geographical location is good, and there are many business travelers.
"It's a lot better than Hangzhou."
Walking on the street, Yang Xuan saw the bustling crowd coming and going on the street, with a lot of traffic and shouting.
It's also funny, Yang Xuan is a child of a mountain village farmer in the Heaven-Covering World, even if he was taken away by the Feather God Dynasty, he has never seen the big city in his hometown.
When I arrived in the desolate world, after worshipping under the Bodhi Patriarch, I rarely went out on weekdays, at most I walked around the small towns around Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.
After all, those monsters in Xiniu Hezhou are not vegetarians, and Yang Xuan doesn't dare to joke with his own life.
It was only after arriving in the Wind and Cloud World and the Flood World that I finally saw the big city inhabited by humans.
Walking along the street, Yang Xuan walked all the way and looked all the way, and stopped when he came to a restaurant.
"Shanhaiyuan?"
Raising his head and looking at the signboard in front of the restaurant, the three gilded characters, Yang Xuan seemed to think of Shanhaiyuan's "stewed fish", but Chef Zhang ate what he said was good, and it must taste good.
Anyway, we won't be able to stay in the Zhuxian World for long, why don't we go in and try it?
As soon as he stepped into Shanhaiyuan, he was greeted by a shopkeeper. The second child of this shop is used to seeing people coming and going in Shanhaiyuan all day long, and he is also a very eye-catching character. Although Yang Xuan was only wearing a Taoist robe, his demeanor between his gestures was naturally not comparable to that of those walkers, and the shopkeeper immediately said with a little flattery: "This Taoist chief, is it better to stay in the store?" ”
"Poor food."
"Okay! The governor of the province, please! Xiao Er shouted, led Yang Xuan into the store, and walked upstairs.
Under the leadership of the shopkeeper, Yang Xuan walked up to the second floor, although it was not the third floor where the young master pursued identity and elegance. But it is also magnificently decorated, and it is a place where rich people, ordinary cultivators, and chivalrous people gather.
Seeing that there were few people on the second floor at this time, Yang Xuan was also happy, found a table by the window and sat down, and said to Xiao Er: "Come to 'stewed fish', and then serve a few signature dishes casually." ”
"Hehe, guest officer, you can order the right dish," Seeing Yang Xuan's signature dish 'stewed fish in Shanhaiyuan' by name, the shopkeeper immediately said with honor, "Do you know, a hundred years ago, this fish was indeed unique to Zhugou Mountain in the south, but then Qingyunmen Dao Xuanzhen passed by Zhugou Mountain and specially moved this fish back......" He said, his face showed a look of great reverence.
"Oh." Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows, it seems that this Qingyunmen's influence in the world is really great.
The restaurant of "Shanhaiyuan" is not a modern kitchen, and the speed of serving is ...... You know. And it's fish stew again, so naturally the speed can't be fast.
While the dishes he wanted had not yet been served, Yang Xuan closed his eyes and pondered, recalling the contents of the fourth volume of the Book of Heaven.
"This fourth volume of the Book of Heaven actually expounded on the grand idea of taking oneself as the heaven and earth, refining the true element, and building a solid foundation, and after I comprehended this volume of the Book of Heaven, my cultivation actually reached the peak of the late stage of refining the gods and returning to the void, and I only need to take one step forward to be the realm of refining the void and the Tao. If you get the fifth book of heaven, wouldn't it be ......"
Just when Yang Xuan's heart was hot, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder, only to hear a voice beside him, with a little anxiety and eagerness.
"Ahh This little brother, you are covered with dark clouds, Yintang is black, and your face is dead, something is not good! ”
Yang Xuan opened his eyes, how did this sentence sound so familiar, he turned around to look, and saw an old man standing beside him, with white hair and a mediocre face.
"I wonder what's the matter with the old man's name?" Yang Xuan asked suspiciously.
The old man covered his snow-white beard with his hands, and said in a fairy manner: "Little brother, I see that your Yin Tang is black and your face is dead, so I will stop you and show you a clear way." After speaking, the old man frowned, looked Yang Xuan up and down, and looked Yang Xuan's heart up and down, and then said: "Well, it seems that you really have a big disaster, why don't I take a look at you, how about it?" ”
"Looks?" Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then noticed that the old man was still holding a bamboo pole in his hand, on which was hung a white cloth, with four words written on it: Immortals guide the way.
Isn't this Monday Sen?
"I don't know what this old man is called?" Looking at the old man in front of him, Yang Xuan asked.
"Haha, old man Zhou Xian." The old man was also not polite, he sat in front of Yang Xuan and said with a smile.
"Sure enough, it's Zhou Zhou Xian, if that's the case, then I'll ......" made up his mind at the moment, Yang Xuan smiled again, "That relationship is good, I'm also bored, it's better to ......"
"Dao Chief, your dish is here." At this moment, the shopkeeper came up with the dishes ordered by Yang Xuan.
"The old gentleman might as well eat first and then get down to business," Yang Xuan pointed to the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm in for a treat." ”
"Hehe, then it's better to be respectful than to obey." When Zhou Xian saw that Yang Xuan was going to invite him to dinner, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The best restaurant in Heyang City is "Shanhaiyuan", it costs a lot of money to come here to eat, and now there is a good opportunity to eat, how can you miss it?
Not to mention that there is a plate of famous "stewed meiyu" on the table, the meat is white and fragrant, which makes the index fingers of the Zhou Xian move when it comes.
Zhou Zhou Xian didn't pay attention to it, so he picked up the chopsticks and ate the dish in a big gulp.
Yang Xuan saw Zhou Zhou Xian disregarding the appearance of eating, shook his head again and again, and picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the plate of "stewed fish" and put it in his mouth, only to feel that the fish meat in his mouth was tender and white, melted in the mouth, and was extremely delicious.
"This 'stewed fish' really lives up to its name." Slowly savoring the fish in his mouth, Yang Xuan suddenly felt that all the fish he had eaten in the hotel in his previous life, whether it was steamed, braised, fried or something, was not as delicious as such a piece of fish.
Scooping another spoonful of soup into his mouth, Yang Xuan found that the soup was made of unknown ingredients, and there was an aftertaste in his mouth after tasting it, which made people linger for a long time.
Full of wine and food, Zhou Zhou Xian picked up a cloth handkerchief and wiped his somewhat greasy mouth, and said with a smile, "Childe, since you have also eaten rice, then let me count the old man for you." ”
"No, I'm not trying to tell a hexagram," Yang Xuan put down his chopsticks, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I don't understand one thing, and I want to ask the old gentleman." ”
"Oh? Not a fortune teller? Zhou Zhou Xian looked stunned, but when a piece of gold was placed in front of Yang Xuan, Zhou Zhou Xian immediately changed back to his signature smile.
The Taoist chief wanted to inquire about something, but said, "Weighing the piece of gold in his hand, there are at least twenty or thirty taels, and Zhou Xian's face is full of joy," The old man has been traveling from south to north for many years, and he doesn't know how many strange things he has seen. ”
"Old man, were you from Qingyunmen before?"
