Chapter 67: A Meal Triggers a Conflict
Duanmu Haoyang was the first to walk into Xiangyunju, and the three of them followed, and when they saw three handsome men and women of seventeen or eighteen years old and a fat man who looked close to twenty years old, they entered the store, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted them.
"Hello four guest officers, are you dining or staying in the hotel?"
"What kind of rooms do we have in the hotel?" Jin Congbai likes this kind of thing, and he is the most positive.
The shopkeeper is a martial artist who is at the peak of cultivation during the refining period, and he usually sees a lot of cultivators, watching the guests enter the store, standing behind the counter, greeting each other with a smile, and hurriedly responding.
"The cultivator has five low-level spirit stones in a single room for one night, nine spirit stones in a double room for one night, and there is a separate courtyard in this store, each courtyard can accommodate three to six people, a hall, each person is a separate bedroom, equipped with the same number of cultivation rooms, and the cultivation room is protected by a formation, of course there are more spirit stones, I don't know what kind of guest room the four guest officers want?"
Jin Congbai was just about to step forward to discuss the price with the shopkeeper, Duanmu Haoyang immediately raised his hand to block it, and after listening to Jin Congbai's bargaining many times, he was already a little impatient.
"Fatty, shut up, or we won't let you eat tonight!
Jin Congbai saw Duanmu Haoyang like this, as long as he kept his mouth shut, his heart was full of unwillingness, as if he had suffered a big loss, Haoyue and Haoxing looked at it from the sidelines and just laughed "hehe".
Duanmu Haoyang asked for a separate courtyard that could accommodate four people, and the price was reasonable, fifteen spirit stones per person per night. The four of them were not sure how long they would stay, so they paid for two days and prepared to eat first.
The four of them sat down near the window, and the shopkeeper put the list of dishes on the table, standing beside Duanmu Haoyang and waiting for them to determine the dishes.
"What to eat, Haoyue and Jin Fatzi have the final say!" Duanmu Haoyang and Haoxing did not have any special requirements, and handed over the right to order food to the two partners who love to eat.
"Brother Haoyang, it's always meat these days, how about eating something light today?"
"No, I want to eat meat, and I want to eat all the food in this store!" Jin Congbai is really not afraid of getting fatter, and eating is currently one of the items he is most interested in.
"Steamed cold pond cod, braised black hidden pork chopsγ...... Braised Huangxian lamb belly ......"
"The four seasons are like spring, stir-fried green spirit beans, purple vegetables wrapped in spirit rice......"
The two of them ordered more than 30 dishes, and the shopkeeper looked at them all over, thinking to himself how long these people hadn't eaten, why did they order so much? And they all looked like cultivators, so they didn't need to eat so much!
Haoxing really couldn't stand it, "Sister, Brother Jin is okay, let's eat it often in the future, why bother with this meal?"
Haoyue's face was slightly red, she looked at Duanmu Haoyang, stuck out her little tongue, and put down the list in her hand.
"How many dishes do we want?" Jin Congbai looked at Xiao Er next to him, not realizing that there were a lot of dishes to be asked for.
"Guest officer, it's only thirty-six dishes. β
"What, thirty-six dishes, that's all, there are only a few of us, why don't you stop me?"
Xiao Er was speechless, thinking that the more you ordered, the better.
Although he said a lot, he didn't mean to reduce, "Okay, that's all, six dishes at a time, meat and vegetarian matching, round by round, no interruption is allowed, understand?"
The shopkeeper responded and turned around to arrange the dishes.
The surrounding guests looked at Duanmu Haoyang and the others curiously, especially some cultivators, and shook their heads and sighed, as if they saw a hillbilly.
Duanmu Haoyang didn't think anything about it, just a few partners were happy, just a meal, why care about other people's opinions.
While waiting for the dishes, you can enjoy the street view, and you can also hear many people talking about various things in Xiangyunju.
"You have heard that Leng Cailiang, the young hall master of Danyang Hall, has returned from the Absolute Yin Cloud Ridge today, and there is not a single entourage left when he entered the Absolute Yin Cloud Ridge, and all of them are buried in the mountains and forests. β
"Is there any news from Niguang Hall? β
"It's just that I heard that the orchestra pit also went to the depths of the Absolute Cloud Ridge, and he followed the people of the Oneiroi Sect. β
...... "I don't know when our sect will be able to get the protection of the Oneiroi Sect. β
"If you want to be beautiful, just our small sects, only the part of being bullied" ......
"I heard that Leng Cailiang has found the ruins of the cave about the Jindan cultivators, and tomorrow I will announce the location of the ruins in the arena and invite the cultivators to dig together. β
"How could something so good, it must be dangerous, otherwise how could it be possible for us to know the news. β......
The gossip continued, and Duanmu Haoyang and the others heard a little useful news, the so-called ruins turned out to be the cave mansion of the Jindan cultivators.
Moreover, people do not shy away from discussing the issue of ruins, it is very obvious that Danyang Hall and Niguang Hall deliberately released news that they want to explore the ruins, and the degree of danger can be imagined.
Duanmu Haoyang transmitted, "It seems that the matter of the ruins is not simple, with the participation of the superior forces of Danyang Hall and Niguang Hall, the news can still fly all over the sky, and it will be announced to the public, it is estimated that there will be a lot of casualties among the people involved." β
"Boss, people die for money, birds die for food, there is enough temptation, will cultivators still care about life and death?"
"Yes, if a cultivator wants to break through the barrier of cultivation, it is like a carp crossing the river, the carp jumps over the dragon gate, and whoever can stand out is the final winner. "Haoxing thinks more clearly about things, just like when he was caught by Lu Xi, he knows that if Duanmu Haoyang can't save him in time, the spiritual fire will dissipate, but he still hasn't succumbed, because he understands that many things can't be fought for, the so-called fight is not necessarily fighting for something, sometimes it is a belief.
"Brother Haoyang, let's take a closer look at the introduction of Jueyin Yunling at night, and then inquire about the news tomorrow, if necessary, let's go and take a look." β
Duanmu Haoyang nodded, Haoyue's inner tenacity and bravery, he admired it very much.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please, the first round of six dishes is here!"
The dishes with six meat and vegetables were quickly arranged, Xiao Er left, and Jin Congbai was the first to pick up the tableware and began to sweep.
β...... Delicious...... This is not bad, boss, hurry up and eat, this is not the same taste as your barbecue. β
Although Haoyue likes food, she can't let go of it in crowded places, and she eats more reservedly, after all, she is a girl.
The four-wheeled dishes were swept away by several people, the plates fell to the plates, the bowls fell to the bowls, and the table was a bit messy.
The fifth round of dishes is served...... Jin Congbai was opening his mouth to praise the deliciousness of the dish, when a discordant female voice sounded.
"Where did the barbarians come from? Have they never eaten a delicacy before, and what a bad luck to eat with them!"
Duanmu Haoyang's face suddenly turned cold, and he looked at a girl about twenty years old, and it was she who spoke. But he didn't have a seizure, he felt that eating out, which might be unavoidable, eating his own, whatever she did.
The other three are the same, it's just a meal, there is no need to have a conflict, and besides, they are about to finish eating.
"Where's the shopkeeper, kick them out for me, hillbilly, and keep yelling for a meal!"
The shopkeeper walked out of the counter and bowed, "Miss Ruicai, forgive me, there is no reason to expel customers in business." β
"You don't listen to Miss Ben's words, do you want to be the shopkeeper here?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Ruicai, Xiangyunju is the property of Niguang Hall, and it is not the turn of a disciple of Danyang Hall to point fingers. "The shopkeeper has been responsible for managing Xiangyunju for many years, and he is also a person who can talk to the hall master in Niguang Hall, and how can the affairs of Niguang Hall be managed by Danyang Hall.
"You ......" Rui Cai was speechless, so he had to turn around and walk towards the four of Duanmu Haoyang.
