Chapter 139: The Feast
After this incident, Gu Yue didn't come to them again for the remaining days, but Gu Sheng came alone again, apologized again, and invited them to eat once in a restaurant specializing in demon beast meat on Guanhua Street.
"This monster meat is better than the cook at home. ”
Gu Xi praised while eating.
Gu Sheng said: "Where are there many demon beast meat at home for the chef to practice, and besides, these restaurants and restaurants, although the specifications and grades are different, but since they can open, they must have their own set of recipes." ”
"Alas, I don't know how the ninth sister is doing now, the ones we used to eat were not as good as the cooks at home, and now the ninth sister's skills are good, and we who have made meritorious deeds have lost that blessing, which is really a pity. ”
Gu Xuan sighed.
Speaking of Gu Yue, Gu Sheng was slightly embarrassed, but he still said apologetically: "I have eaten a few times, and the ninth sister's skills have improved a lot compared to before, which may be related to the different ingredients she uses, but there is still a long way to go from a real celebrity chef." ”
Seeing the sincerity of what Gu Sheng said, Gu Xuan didn't want to embarrass him anymore.
Gu Sheng glanced at Gu Xiu, pondered for a while, and said: "When I received a letter from my mother before, I learned that the eighth sister had advanced to the middle stage of condensation, and after this meeting, I have forgotten to say hello to the eighth sister, eighth sister, congratulations on the success of the advancement, and my brother toasts you." ”
Gu Sheng said, picked up the wine cup in front of him, and saluted Gu Xiu.
Gu Xiu was not ambiguous and had a drink with him.
Three days passed in a flash, and this day was a big day that had been prepared for several years.
Because Gu Xiu and Gu Xuan both had jade plaques that could enter the city lord's mansion to watch the birthday banquet, the two got up early in the morning.
After the two of them left the house, they found that the entire inn was almost half empty, and most of them got up earlier than the two of them.
"Can these people enter the City Lord's Mansion?" Gu Xuan was quite surprised.
When the guy heard her words, he explained with a smile: "That's not it, although the City Lord's Mansion is huge, and there is a large space formation that expands the space, not to mention that there are a lot of monks in the city, during this time, there are countless foreign monks who just come to the feast, if everyone can enter the City Lord's Mansion, where can the City Lord's Mansion accommodate so many people, if you want me to say, among all the monks in Shangcheng now, there is not one in a hundred monks who are qualified to enter the City Lord's Mansion to participate in the birthday banquet."
As for these fellow Daoists who got up early in the morning and set off, most of them were monks who could not enter the City Lord's Mansion, and the monks who were qualified to enter the City Lord's Mansion to attend the birthday banquet would not rush like this. ”
Gu Xuan wondered, "Why is this?"
Today, almost no guests will stay at the inn, and the guys are happy and relaxed, but they are not in a hurry, and continue to explain to them: "Take a good seat." ”
"Although most of the monks are not allowed to enter the City Lord's Mansion to participate in the birthday banquet, the square in front of the four gates of the City Lord's Mansion, east, west, south, and north is open to the public during the three-day birthday banquet, and all monks are allowed to watch the birthday banquet from the square.
At that time, the City Lord's Mansion will arrange a scene formation in front of the four major mansions. ”
"Liujing Formation?" Gu Xuan didn't know much about the formation, and the Liujing Formation was a relatively rare and rare formation in the formation, and she had never heard of it, so she looked at Gu Xiu inquiringly.
Gu Xiu refines the magic robe, and some formation runes often need to be arranged on the magic robe, and she also knows about the Liujing array in the immortal cultivation world, but she has never arranged it, but it is still okay to introduce it to Gu Xuan.
"The Lingering Array is divided into two types: real-time and outdated, I think what the City Lord's Mansion wants to arrange this time should be a real-time Lingering Array, right?"
The guy nodded again and again, "Daoyou is right, this time it is to use the real-time scenery array to map the scene in the city lord's mansion to the four major mansion gates, so that a group of monks outside the city lord's mansion can watch the feast in the mansion, I heard that there are many repertoire prepared by the city lord's mansion this time, including fighting methods, fighting arrays, fighting talismans, fighting pills and other links to compete for strength, as well as pleasing dance music and endless music, as well as the display of various special secret methods and secret techniques, which is really exciting." ”
Hearing him say this, Gu Xiu and Gu Xuan didn't want to talk to their guys anymore, so they wanted to hurry over.
Seeing that the two of them hurriedly said goodbye and left, the guy hurriedly reminded: "The two Taoist friends don't know if they can bring some food by themselves, and they don't eat or drink for three days and three nights, although they can bear it, but on that occasion, if they eat delicious food and watch wonderful songs, this is comfortable."
Although there are also food sellers in the square, they are ridiculously expensive, ten times more expensive than usual, which can be regarded as a conscience price. ”
This guy obviously also regarded the two as if they didn't have a jade card.
Gu Xuan was surprised and asked, "Could it be that Mrs. Nuoling's birthday banquet didn't provide food?"
The guy choked for a moment, and said busily: "This city lord's mansion is naturally provided, not only is it provided, but also I heard that it is a rare delicacy, tsk, if you can enter the city lord's mansion to participate in Mrs. Nuoling's birthday banquet, even if it is only in the outer city, eat that food, appreciate that gorgeous clothes, and watch that wonderful performance, you will have no regrets in this life." ”
Gu Xuan glanced at him strangely, and said in her heart that this guy's pursuit was too low, if according to his thoughts, she and the eighth sister would enter the City Lord's Mansion for a trip, wouldn't they be able to enter the Netherworld Mansion directly, and there would be no regrets anyway.
"Since food is provided at the birthday feast, we don't have to bring our own food. ”
Gu Xiu said with a smile, leaving a blank look at first, and then reacting, all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred instantly appeared on his face in the empty lobby, and pulled Gu Xuan out of the inn.
After walking for a while, Gu Xuan suddenly remembered Gu Wang and the others, "The second brother and the third brother don't know if they are leaving?" Didn't the guy just now say that everyone who doesn't have a jade plate will leave early, so that they can find a place? If they are lazy, they won't be able to find a good position. ”
"Didn't they tell us yesterday that they would go their own way, the third brother said that he didn't have a jade plate, and he was jealous when he saw that we had a jade card. ”
At this time, there are many people on the road, and almost everyone is going in the same direction.
This is not right, because the city lord's mansion has four major mansion gates, and the direction of each mansion gate is different, but the street where they are located is closer to the east gate, so almost all the monks in this area rush to the east gate.
"Ten thousand empty alleys, but that's it!" Gu Xuan sighed.
When the two arrived at the East Gate of the City Lord's Mansion, the square in front of the East Mansion Gate was already full of people, and on both sides of the square, there were various stalls, some selling roast monster meat, some selling spirit fruits, spirit tea, and spirit wine, as well as all kinds of small snacks containing divine breath, which was extremely lively.
Directly in front of the Dongfu Gate, a wide passage that could probably accommodate two carriages was vacant.
There were guards from the City Lord's Mansion waiting there to guide the monks who held the jade plaques.
Although Gu Xiu and the others did not have a spirit beast to pull the cart, they were accompanied by a third-order demon beast Earth Wind Bear, which was also able to strengthen their momentum.
Gu Xuan looked at the beautiful spirit beast cars lined up in front of him, and the spirit beasts pulling the carts were even fourth-order, fifth-order, and even sixth-order, and said softly to Gu Xiu: "It seems that the earth wind can't give us momentum." ”
