Zhaoyue Island can be said to be unknown to everyone in the East China Sea cultivation world, but in fact, although Zhaoyue Island has some scenery, it is not a spiritual island or a fairy mountain.
The reason why Zhaoyue Island has such a reputation is because it has three mountains nearby and is under the direct jurisdiction of the Immortal Sect. In the chaotic East China Sea cultivation world, it can be said to be a place of order recognized by everyone. Over time, it has become a meeting place for many parties. Money comes from all directions.
The entire Zhaoyue Island is also a huge Xianjiafang City. There are many treasure pavilions and cloud towers everywhere, scattered among the mountains and rivers. They are connected by suspended corridors on the top and bluestone streets on the bottom. Pedestrians are bustling, and there are also small boats directly. Along the river, through the bridge hole, and into the lake on the island, there are many flower boats and boats in the lake, with countless people coming and going.
The most conspicuous building in the fairy city of Zhaoyue Island is undoubtedly Pengxuan Pavilion. As the main pavilion of Pengxuan Pavilion, it is not just a gorgeous pavilion, but is built on the basis of the mountains. From bottom to top, there are many The villa is a villa built into one building. It is divided into a main building, hospitality, spiritual animals, elixirs, utensils, pawns, Taoist scriptures, fairy treasures and many more, each with its own duties, and there are also various decorations in between. Viewing pavilions and listening to perfume pavilions.
After parting ways with the merchant ship He Shanhai a few days ago, Xu Zhuang stopped wasting time and fled at full speed for several days. During this period, he only stopped on a deserted island for half a day. Finally, he arrived at Zhaoyue Island and went straight to Pengxuan Pavilion. Come, show me the jade order, and look for Zhang Ji to see you.
At this time, Xu Zhuang had been following the waiter around for a long time, walking through a hanging corridor outside a waterfall, then turning into a mountain road, and walking dozens of steps before arriving at the door of a moon cave.
When he looked up, he saw the four characters "Qinfang Water Pavilion" written on it. At this time, the waiter had stopped, and Xu Zhuang entered the door alone. As soon as he passed the moon cave, he heard the faint sound of Sheng music, and turned around the Pingshan Mountain. Passing through the luxuriant leaves, I saw a pavilion next to a green lake. There were beautiful figures of orioles and swallows. There were people holding harps, some playing flutes, some holding fans opening and closing, and dancing gracefully...
The person he was looking for sat down by the lake with his back to Xuzhuang, drinking and singing along with the music, feeling very happy.
Xu Zhuang walked into the pavilion on steps, and the song and dance happened to be coming to an end. The man clapped his hands in praise, laughed and said, "Good song, good dance, reward!" and asked the attendants to reward him quickly.
"Brother Dao Zhang is also very leisurely and elegant."
"Ah!" Zhang Ji looked back and was surprised: "You are...Xu Zhuang!"
Zhang Ji stood up hurriedly, took two steps forward, and said in surprise: "I heard a message from outside that someone came to see me with a token. I thought it was an old friend... I never thought it was Brother Xu!"
He shook his head and laughed at himself: "I am not a true seeker like Brother Xu to have such 'leisure and elegance', so there is nothing worthy of praise."
"Brother Zhang is too modest," Xu Zhuang said.
"Hahaha! Let's not talk about this! It hasn't been that long, less than twenty years? When you and I met, I felt that Brother Xu was hiding the Qingyun Weapon and was waiting to shock the world. As expected, Brother Xu returned to Dongshengzhou Not long after, I heard the news in the sect that Brother Xu had refined a high-grade golden elixir, killed the five-clawed flame dragon, and became famous in the Divine Continent. This shocked me greatly! I didn’t expect to meet Brother Xu again so soon, so hurry up Please take a seat!"
Zhang Ji laughed, called Xu Zhuang to sit down, and said to the waiter, "Why don't you prepare the fairy fruit tea? Remember to go to the Immortal Food Studio and get the best pastries...Brother Xu! How about sharing a glass of wine?"
He seemed to be asking Xu Zhuang, but without waiting for a reply, he ordered repeatedly: "Anyway, bring the tea and wine! Remember, bring my jade liquid, don't bring bad wine, it's disrespectful!"
Then he said to the singer and dancer: "Dance again! If you please Brother Xu, I will give you a big reward!"
Seeing this, Xu Zhuang swallowed his original words and said with a smile: "How can I be treated so warmly by Brother Zhang?"
"Hey! Brother Xu, we're out." Zhang Ji waved his hand, took the jug and ear cup from the table, poured a full cup, and handed it over with both hands: "You should say: It's hard to refuse such kindness! Drink! "
"Hahaha, it's hard to refuse such hospitality! Drink!" Xu Zhuang stopped being polite when he heard this. He took the ear cup with both hands as a gesture, drank it down, and laughed heartily.
"Drink!" Zhang Ji drank a glass, then took a wine pot and poured it into it. After pouring half the cup, the pot was full of wine. At this time, the waiter brought fairy fruit, pastries, spiritual tea, and jade liquid. Zhang Ji quickly took the jade. liquid, poured the wine, and then the two of them tasted the Penglai Immortal Brew.
The glasses were mixed together, and in the blink of an eye, half the pot was in his stomach. The jade liquid was very mellow and fragrant. Zhang Ji was already a little drunk before he could cure the hangover. Then he smiled and said: "Brother Xu! I haven't seen you in more than ten years." , and now we are in the East China Sea, but what’s the important matter?”
Xu Zhuang fiddled with his wine glass, pondered for a moment, and then said bluntly: "To be honest, I'm bothering Brother Zhang today because I have something to ask for."
Zhang Ji looked displeased when he heard this and said, "Brother Xu is also out of sight, and he still talks to me with these polite words. Brother Xu's matter is my Zhang Ji's matter. As long as I can help, I will never do anything about it." The principle of hands.”
"Then I'll thank Brother Zhang first." Xu Zhuang drank the jade liquid in the cup, raised his glass and said with a smile, "I want to ask Brother Zhang about someone."
Zhang Ji asked, "Who is he?"
Xu Zhuang said: "I heard Brother Zhang talk about you in the past, and you have a friend who is the successor of Tianmo Taoism."
"Oh?" Zhang Ji stopped drinking when he heard this, "What does Brother Xu mean?"
Xu Zhuang smiled and said, "I want Brother Zhang to introduce this fellow Taoist to me."
There was confusion on Zhang Ji's face: "This? I remember that Brother Xu doesn't seem to associate with people in the devil's path?"
Xu Zhuang laughed and said: "Brother Zhang misunderstood, aren't all the mysterious demons in the world seeking the Tao? Even if they are people in the demonic Tao, if they don't do things that harm the world and harm the law, there is no reason why they can't make friends with Zhang. I want to be able to make friends with Zhang. The Taoist friends that I associate with are not like this, right?"
Zhang Ji laughed when he heard this and said, "Brother Xu's words are very reasonable. How can my friend Zhang Ji be such a person?"
"To be honest, Xu is really in trouble, and he needs to use the devil's magic to solve it." Xu Zhuang took the wine pot, poured jade liquid for the two of them, and said with a smile: "They are just people in the devil's way, and their whereabouts are secretive. , there are even fewer people who inherit the Heavenly Demonic Way... It is difficult to find his whereabouts, and Xu does not dare to trust him casually."
"That's it! I, Zhang Ji, will take care of this matter." Zhang Ji heard this and immediately said, "Brother Xu, don't worry, I will definitely arrange for you to meet Fairy Shi."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Xu Zhuang paused at the wine glass in his hand, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, a woman in a plain dress and a white gauze appeared in his memory.
It couldn't be such a coincidence that he could bump into someone who had a grudge against him?
Xu Zhuang rubbed his wine glass and asked with a calm expression: "Xianzi Shi?"
"Yes, Fairy Shi is the successor of the Heavenly Demon Taoism that Brother Xu is looking for." Zhang Ji said: "Brother Xu, you can rest assured. It has been half a hundred years since I met Fairy Shi as teenagers. Zhang can Guaranteed, absolutely trustworthy.”
Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment, then put aside his doubts for the time being and said with a smile, "In that case, I'll trouble Brother Zhang."
Zhang Ji drank the jade liquid and laughed and said: "Brother Xu came at a good time. Fairy Shi's whereabouts are unpredictable. I couldn't help you at first. It was just not long ago that I received the news that Fairy Shi had come to the East China Sea again." news."
Xu Zhuang was a little surprised. The whereabouts of the demon monks had always been secretive. He had not originally expected to succeed easily during his trip, but unexpectedly, he succeeded without any effort. It seemed to be a coincidence.
Xu Zhuang asked, "When did Brother Zhang introduce me to Fairy Shi?"
"Hey! Brother Xu, don't be anxious. It was not Zhang Ji who dragged her away. In fact, I only know that Fairy Shi is now in the East China Sea, and I don't know where the fairy is." Zhang Ji said while pouring wine, "But...Brother Xu, please. "
Seeing that Zhang Ji had not finished speaking, Xu Zhuang was not in a hurry. He took the wine glass and the two drank another round. Zhang Ji then said: "Brother Xu, do you know that there will be a treasure fair in Pengxuan Pavilion soon?" , there will be treasure auctions for nine consecutive days, and Fairy Shi has already signed a letter with me, asking me to reserve a seat for her. Brother Xu, why don’t you stay with me for a few days, when Fairy Shi comes to Pengxuan Pavilion, I Let’s arrange a meeting for the two of you.”
Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll bother Brother Zhang."
"We're seeing you again! Brother Xu, you can stay here and we'll treat you well." Zhang Ji smiled and said, "Come on, come on, let's have a drink first and then we can talk."
"please."
"Please!" The two raised their glasses and drank again. The guests were all enjoying themselves for a while. Within an hour or two, they drank up a pot of jade liquid. This wine is a collection of Penglai. It is said that it is brewed from thousand-year-old spiritual fruits. Drink it in your mouth. Needless to say, it is fragrant and mellow, and it also has the effect of improving one's cultivation. After one pot is poured into his stomach, Zhang Ji is already drunk and his eyes are blurred. It is not enough, and he wants to call the waiter to get some wine.
Xu Zhuang said hurriedly: "Brother Zhang, I'm a little tired. Although the jade liquid is good, it's not too late to drink it again. It's better to stop here today."
Zhang Ji was startled for a moment and remained silent for a while. He seemed to be using his energy to relieve the hangover. The drunkenness in his eyes had dissipated a lot. He apologized: "I haven't seen you for many years. On a whim, I forgot about Brother Xu because of the long journey. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
He called the waiter again and ordered: "You will take Brother Xu to settle down at Jiazi Xianke Building later, and then send word to the pavilion. Brother Xu is a good friend of mine. Please don't offend the distinguished guests. Do you understand?"
"This..." The waiter was puzzled, "Please tell me, Pavilion Master, the last Jiazi Xianke Tower has already been occupied by guests the day before yesterday."
"What?" Zhang Ji frowned and said, "Who are the people living in Jiazixianke Building now? You can report them one by one, and I will personally explain the situation and ask them to move..."
"Hey! Brother Zhang, wait a minute." Xu Zhuang stopped him and said, "The guests have already moved in. There is no reason to ask people to move here. I am not a luxurious person. Brother Zhang can just arrange it as he pleases."
"How can that be done? Don't mention Brother Xu's status. You and I are close friends. How can Zhang not treat guests well?" Zhang Ji said.
Having said that, the guests entertained by Pengxuan Pavilion in Jiazixiankelou were all of high status. Zhang Ji could not help but feel distressed. He pondered for a moment and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Yes!" He excitedly said to the waiter: "Go quickly. I'll have someone clean up the Yuxian Tower, take the used things to my place and store them, replace them all with new ones, and later take Brother Xu to stay at the Yuxian Tower."
When the waiter heard this, he bowed quickly and trotted out of the water pavilion.
Xu Zhuang asked suspiciously: "Brother Zhang, this Jade Immortal Tower is..."
Zhang Ji smiled and said: "Brother Xu, don't worry. The Jade Immortal Tower that I leave to my clan sister's usual residence when she goes to Zhaoyue Island is also built on the Jiazi spiritual veins, and all the configurations are aligned with the Jiazi Immortal Guest Tower." , please satisfy Brother Xu."
"This..." Although Xu Zhuang felt a little inappropriate, Zhang Ji's kindness could not be postponed again and again, so he had to accept it.
After a while, the waiter returned to the pavilion and said that the Yuxian Tower had been packed up. Zhang Ji immediately ordered him to take Xu Zhuang to settle down. Xu Zhuang followed his lead and stood up to say goodbye to Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji smiled and said: "Brother Xu, I must have another drink someday."
Xu Zhuang shook his head and laughed. He cupped his hands and turned around and said to the waiter: "Please lead the way."
The waiter bowed slightly and said, "Please, Mr. Xu."
So Xu Zhuang followed the waiter to the Yuxian Tower. The waiter said that the Yuxian Tower was built in the Jiazi spiritual vein in the mountain, very close to here.
Sure enough, not long after walking along the mountain road, Xu Zhuang noticed that the air was full of energy. Xu Zhuang saw that several pavilions were vaguely visible in the mountain, perhaps Jiazi Xianke Tower, but the waiter led Xu Zhuang in another direction, and the environment gradually became quieter. , not long after, Yuxian Tower suddenly appeared in front of us.
The Yuxian Pavilion is covered with glazed tiles, and the red couplets are engraved with regular script. The whole thing is very beautiful, but Xu Zhuang didn't appreciate it much, and his eyes fell on the front of the pavilion.
A young man and several servants were waiting in the open space in front of the pavilion, as if they had been waiting for a long time. Xu Zhuang saw that the man was dressed luxuriously and looked expectant. The servants around him were holding various rare treasures and exquisite gift boxes in their hands, as if they were waiting for someone. Xu Zhuang had already faintly smelled the smell of trouble.
Xu Zhuang felt that the person he was waiting for was unlikely to be him, and this was actually the case. The man had been looking forward to it, but when he saw Xu Zhuang approaching with the waiter, he was not happy, but looked confused.
"Stop!" The man suddenly spoke in an unhappy tone, "Who are you, and why are you hanging out in Jade Immortal Tower?"
This man was really a little confused, and he made rude remarks when he was blocked here. Xu Zhuang frowned slightly and said calmly: "I am a guest living here, how can you be wandering around? Who are you, blocking the road here for no reason?"
The man had a ridiculous look on his face and said with a smile, "Where did you come from to tell such a joke? Who doesn't know that Yuxian Tower is the residence of Penglai Shuyu Fairy in Pengxuan Pavilion?"
Seeing that something was wrong, the waiter hurriedly said: "Mr. Lian, Mr. Xu is the distinguished guest of the Pavilion Master. The Pavilion Master personally ordered me to take Mr. Xu to stay temporarily at Yuxian Tower."
"What?" Hearing this, the man surnamed Lian asked in surprise, "Just now you were so anxious to clean up, didn't you think that the Jade Fairy wanted to move into the Jade Fairy Tower?"
"Exactly." The waiter said.
Hearing this, Xu Zhuang already knew in his heart that the plot of the play was really boring and he didn't want to pay attention to it anymore. He shook his head and walked straight to the pavilion past everyone.
Before the man named Lian could stop him, he suddenly saw Xu Zhuang's expressionless expression and retracted his hand unconsciously. He frowned and remained silent for a moment, then said unhappily: "Let's go!" and hurriedly left with his attendants.
