"A jar of Lingdao Immortal Brew, ten pieces of Immortal Crystal. As for the delicious food, let's take a look at the individual tastings..."
The shopkeeper at the counter was still sitting upright as before, looking neither cold nor indifferent. After he said something briefly, he raised his hand to indicate the hanging list on the wooden plaque behind him, and then waved his robe sleeves. Three wine jars, as well as jade cups and jade chopsticks appeared out of thin air and landed on the square table in front of the three brothers in the blink of an eye.
This kind of hospitality even omits the waiter, which is novel and rare. However, a five-pound jar of fine wine is actually worth ten immortal crystals. It’s expensive!
Hutou grabbed the wine jar, sniffed it, raised his head and took a sip, smashed it with his big mouth, and replied: "The spiritual energy in this wine is not bad, but it is far worse than the century-old wine! I wonder what the delicious food is like ..." He turned to look at the menu on the wooden plaque and was stunned for a moment. Then he was pleased with himself and said with a smile: "The names of the dishes are really weird. Fortunately, our family knows the Chinese characters. I told the shopkeeper that I would like to read 'Spring Mountain is like this' ""
"No!"
The shopkeeper raised his eyelids slightly and answered simply. According to his experience, although the three old men had unknown cultivation levels, their clothes and accents were different, so they were clearly three foreign monks.
Hu Tou didn't pay attention to the shopkeeper's expression. He stared at the menu names on the wooden plaque on the wall and read with some difficulty: "'Ping Sha Luo... Wild Goose', 'Thoughts on the Autumn Moon', 'Golden Chrysanthemums in Bloom', 'Fairy' Looking back, oh! The name of the dish is really hard to pronounce, haha..." His ancestors came from ancient times, and with the inherited memory, it is not difficult to recognize the ancient characters on the menu!
"No!"
When Hu Tou saw that the shopkeeper said no, the smile on his face disappeared, but he saw that there was another dish name on the order, so he patiently continued to order: "The 'Danyang Blood' is a dish or a soup..."
"No……"
Did Hutou hear it again? With a "pop" sound from his big hand, he almost smashed the square table made of ancient wood into pieces, causing the wine jar, cups and chopsticks to jump up and down. He glared and scolded: "Are you deliberately having fun? There is no food, let me order something..."
The shopkeeper's body shook slightly, but he sat still as before. He looked at the tiger's head for a while and said calmly: "I have already told you, 'Look at the individual items and taste them.' If you want to enjoy it, please move to the elegant house in the courtyard..."
When looking at a single tasting, you just look at the menu and appreciate the names of the dishes. The hanging list on the wall is just a sign for appreciation.
Hu Tou was not unreasonable, and then looked around with a somewhat suspicious expression, thinking to himself: I didn't understand it before, so why did I get it wrong?
There were people drinking at the next table, but no one was enjoying the food. They were probably a little startled, and they all looked uneasy.
Hutou couldn't sit still and said: "There is wine here but no meat, let's go to the courtyard to enjoy the delicious food..." Seeing that his two brothers acquiesced, he left the table with the wine jar.
Lin Yi and Lao Long's eyes met and they stood up one after another. As expected, there is another place in the courtyard. Moving to the elegant house, the three brothers drank again.
The tiger head walked to the moon gate and was about to stride in, but was blocked by a flashing restriction. He forced his way in, but was afraid that the boss and the old dragon would blame him, so he had to stop and shout: "Why don't you accept the door behind closed doors..."
The shopkeeper spoke up at the right time: "Those who want to go to the backyard will have to pay ten sacred stones. If you are willing to pay for one hundred sacred stones..."
"It's just drinking and eating meat, how can it be so expensive?"
Hutou was surprised, but refused to give up. He waved his hand and said magnanimously: "I will give up hundreds of sacred stones today, but I want to see how famous your Wanxiang Tower is. You dare to cheat. Hum hum…”
Before the shopkeeper could finish his words, he was interrupted. He simply stopped decomposing them and continued: "One hundred sacred stones for each person. If you need anything else, we will make a price..."
One person has one hundred sacred stones, but three people have three hundred? There is still drinking and eating meat here, it is simply forced exploitation!
Hutou shook his head in disbelief, pointed the wine jar in his hand at the shopkeeper and cursed: "Why don't you fucking snatch it, that way it will be easier to get the sacred stone..."
Lin Yi was also a little stunned and said: "That's it! Just change homes..."
The shopkeeper stood up from the wooden stool he was sitting on and said calmly: "There are eighteen restaurants in Jielingxian Island. The menus and signs are all the same, and the rules are the same. Since the three seniors have their hands on We are in a tight situation, so we might as well come back another day..." He actually said goodbye to the guest, and did not forget to remind him: "Please also accept the thirty immortal crystals..."
My brother is a master of Dongtian, but now he is suddenly looked down upon by a junior Jin Dan? This is so fucking unreasonable!
Brother Tiger became angry and raised his hand to throw out a ray of light. More than three hundred shining sacred stones hit the counter with a bang, and then rolled down everywhere. He puffed up his chest, blew his beard and glared: "I am so poor that all I have left is the Divine Stone! If I don't open the restriction..."
The shopkeeper suddenly became confused. After he put away the sacred stone, a smile finally appeared on his face. He had three more white jade talismans in his hand and said: "As long as you have the forbidden sign of the shop, you can enter and enjoy the hospitality..."
Hutou was too lazy to talk, so he reached out and grabbed the jade talisman, and threw it to Lin Yi and Lao Long each. He said: "We can't waste three hundred sacred stones..." He turned around and stepped towards the moon gate, passing through in an instant. Lost due to restrictions.
Lin Yi raised the jade talisman in his hand and looked at it carefully. The jade talisman was three inches in size and embedded with a ban. On one side was the inscription of Wanxiangtang, and on the other side was the words "Guanhai Baiwei".
This Wanxiangtang was just a restaurant, but it was so mysterious! Three hundred divine stones were worth a lot! Not to mention Hu Tou's curiosity, even Lin himself wanted to find out...
Lin Yi and Lao Long nodded, each holding a jade talisman and passing through the moon gate. The scenery in front of them changed, and the two had met Hu Tou in a courtyard.
In the courtyard of twenty or thirty feet in size, there were mountains of stones, fountains formed pools, and ancient trees with sparse shadows and flowers. It was really a quiet place. On both sides of it were jade-refined houses, where several cultivators who had achieved the state of virtual integration sat idle, toasting and exchanging cups and enjoying themselves. Following the gravel path forward, there was another moon gate covered by a ban.
When Hu Tou saw his two brothers appear, he still felt bad and said, "Humph! I almost got looked down upon by that youngster..."
Just at this moment, a middle-aged man came from the Moon Gate more than ten feet away. He was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, who had already seen the jade talismans in the hands of Hu Tou, Lao Long, and Lin Yi, and bowed and smiled, "Three seniors, come this way..."
Although the three hundred divine stones were gone, the hospitality they enjoyed was really different!
Hu Tou was very emotional and said, "Damn, we are also rich people with a lot of money, roo roo..."
The three brothers followed the middle-aged cultivator across the courtyard and stepped into the Moon Gate, and the scenery they saw changed again. This is a closed courtyard, surrounded by green bamboos and flashing prohibitions. In the open space in the middle is a formation of three feet in radius, quietly shrouded in a layer of hazy light.
Seeing this, Lin Yi and Lao Long looked at each other. I thought I had come to the elegant room of the Jingshe, but I didn't expect this to happen. That is a teleportation formation, where is it going?
Hu Tou was puzzled and said, "We are here to drink and eat meat, why do you set up a formation?"
The middle-aged monk looked at the tokens on the waists of the three brothers, and smiled at the jade talisman in Hu Tou's hand, and said, "I guess the three seniors are new here and don't know the rules of Wanxiang Hall. If you want to experience the taste of Guanhai, you can only do this..." As he spoke, he made hand gestures. The formation feet embedded with crystals around them hummed slightly, and then a dazzling light emerged, and they connected to each other and slowly rotated. The entire teleportation formation was ready.
How can there be so many tricks for just drinking and eating meat?
Hu Tou couldn't help but raise the jade talisman in his hand, which was really engraved with the words "Guanhai Baiwei". He turned around and hesitated, "Boss..." Although he was reckless and careless, he would never do anything that would really hurt him!
Lin Yi seemed to be easy-going and nodded, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do!"
With the boss taking care of him, Brother Hu is not afraid of anything!
Tiger head strode into the formation, but still stared at the middle-aged monk with a covetous look. His posture is self-evident. I want to see what kind of sea view is today. The other party seemed to be unaware of the situation and just waited patiently on the side.
Lin Yi and Lao Long then stepped into the formation, and the transmission was immediately activated.
After a flash of light, the surroundings suddenly became dim. The middle-aged monk did not follow, only the three brothers slowly walked out of the formation with a look of surprise.
Is this a huge cave?
A place with a radius of a thousand feet, all mountainous, is flat and refreshing. In the middle, there is a stone pillar with a thickness of a hug and a height of a hundred feet rising from the ground, supporting a huge semicircular dome alone. And on the dome, there is actually a flash of water and a restriction!
This is the bottom of the sea, a place isolated by the prohibition, it seems familiar...
Tiger Head suddenly realized: "Damn! No wonder we need to use the teleportation array, this is deep under the sea! Drinking and eating meat like this is really interesting..." Among the three brothers, only he still held the wine jar in his hand, obviously still thinking about eating and drinking.
Old Dragon snorted as if he was not surprised, and said to himself: "As long as there is comfort, they will indulge in extravagance. From ancient times to now, these monks are still the same..."
Lin Yi did not speak, walked forward a few steps, turned around and looked around, his expression seemed to be thinking about something.
This place looks familiar, not without reason. The former Qixing Island Underwater City, isn't it the scene in front of you? It's just that compared with the two, there is a little more noise, but a little less loneliness, more swaying figures, but no houses and courtyards.
I still remember the four lines of prayer from the Seven Star Island: Seven stars see the moon and the light rises, the sea waves are unsteady in the underwater city; the immortals meet the Big Dipper and rush to the sky, the golden streets are empty and fireflies walk...
It is said that the underwater city back then was a place of refuge. But the place in front of me has become a place of extreme luxury?
The teleportation array I came from is intact, and there are more than ten similar arrays in the distance. In addition, there are hundreds of immortal masters...
