Chapter 3: Suncheon City
Inside the restaurant.
"Sir, I'm really sorry. I don't know how to help you. The Starry Sky Altar involves space, and the distance can be far or near. It's really difficult to find someone after being separated." The old shopkeeper of the restaurant shook his head with a wry smile. .
Zhou Hao closed his eyes and opened them again, sighed softly, and then tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said: "It's okay, I'm sorry to bother the shopkeeper, these spiritual crystals are still yours."
As he spoke, he pushed out the white gift bag in front of the table and motioned to the waiter and shopkeeper to accept it.
"My guest is benevolent!" The shopkeeper cupped his hands.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" The waiter slowly took the kit, nodded apologetically and excused himself with the shopkeeper.
Next to Zhou Hao, the turtle was deaf to what was going on outside, and was only focused on reading the menu book. Its two small black eyes were staring at the various delicacies on the menu, and its saliva was dripping all over the floor.
At this moment, his clumsy little hand became as fast as flying, ticking boxes like crazy. This greedy turtle seemed to be trying to make a meal!
The restaurant was bustling with people, and the seats were packed. Everyone was talking louder because of the wine, and everyone spoke freely and endlessly.
"It's really lively on the Gongchen Bridge outside. Xie Yi, the ninth son of the Xie family, has fallen in love with a girl. Although the girl is young, she is really good-looking and a stunning beauty. The ninth son of the Xie family teased her and wanted to take her back. Hey, I was punched into the river by that girl!" A lean man who just walked in from outside took a sip of wine and told the "news" enthusiastically.
"Hey, it's the Xie family's young dog again. I've heard about his glorious deeds eight times this month, if not ten times. Every time, he teased a good family. He really deserves the title of young dog. Dogs can't change their habit of eating shit." A young man with an average appearance People sneered.
"Hahahahaha..." As soon as he finished speaking, the whole table started laughing, and they all agreed that Mr. Gou was well-deserved.
"I say you young people, don't be too arrogant. The Xie family is one of the three top wealthy families in Shuntian City. If you really piss them off, you don't know how they will die." At this time, an old man warned. road.
"That's true. Beating a dog depends on the owner. Besides, the owner is still a piece of iron. Forget it. Just shut up. Drink and drink. It's all in the wine!" Everyone nodded and stopped thanking him. Everyone at home raised their glasses and drank heavily.
On Zhou Hao's side, Wugui was still ordering.
"Have you finished eating after ordering so much?" Green Snake sat cross-legged on a chair, watching the turtle next to him frantically ticking the boxes and ordering, and couldn't help but complain.
"You're kidding, I seriously doubt you are insulting my belly. Who am I? I can't eat even the gluttonous things!" The turtle rolled his eyes at the green snake.
"Eat, eat, eat, I'll kill you!" Green Snake pouted.
Wu Gui was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore and continued to tick the boxes like crazy, vowing to order a Man-Han banquet.
"You guys, please take your time. I'll go out for a walk by myself. I'll be back soon!" Without Hua Huo around, Zhou Hao seemed to feel that something was missing. Her shadow was everywhere in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.
"Go on, go on, go out and relax, dinner will be served soon." Wugui waved his hand to Zhou Hao without raising his head.
"Yes, Zhou Hao, you might as well go out and relax. We will go to the experts tomorrow to ask for help. We will definitely be able to retrieve Hua Huo." Green Snake said.
Zhou Hao nodded and walked towards the door of the restaurant. He suddenly heard a lot of noise and various sounds.
The loudest among these voices was the one on the left. He vaguely heard a familiar voice arguing with others. It was not that the voice was so loud. On the contrary, it was almost quiet there, with a lot of excitement and less noise. Some were just sources of excitement. In conversation.
"Young lady, how dare you burn my noble young master Xie with fire? You will never leave alive today!" The young man in fine clothes was as black as carbon, and there was no trace of the young master who had been wearing Linlang's clothes not long ago.
He had just been fished out of the river by his servants. His embroidered clothes were soaked through and his whole body was charred. When he spoke, his teeth looked particularly eye-catching.
"You deserve it." The girl in red stretched out a slender jade finger and curled her red hair as if nothing had happened.
"What are you doing standing still? Come on!" The young man in Chinese clothes gritted his teeth and gave orders to the servants and guards around him. He himself was supported by two servants so that he could stand up.
The six servants said yes in unison, and then they saw six people raising their arms and punching, and six fist marks as big as millstones suddenly appeared in the air and hit the girl in red.
"Master, do we want to come too?" Beside the handsomely dressed young man, a servant holding his right hand suddenly asked a question.
Then the servant saw the young man in rich clothes looking at him with wide eyes and the corners of his mouth twitching.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" The servant swallowed and asked.
"I want to kill you!" said the handsomely dressed young man.
Zhou Hao looked to the left with some disbelief. His immortal eyes looked through the crowd and caught the crimson silhouette at a glance.
"Hanabi!" His heart and mouth shouted a name at the same time.
Phew, Zhou Hao disappeared in the next second, and a golden light rushed to Gongchen Bridge at sub-light speed.
At this time, six fist seals as big as millstones had already hit the air above the head of the girl in red. The latter was not afraid, and the Void Escape would be activated in the next moment.
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
However, a golden light penetrated the fist seals before they fell, and six thunderous sounds were heard in the air, and the onlookers all covered their ears.
The golden light fell in front of the girl in red, and Zhou Hao's face gradually appeared. The girl's eyes immediately lit up. She was surprised, happy, angry, and aggrieved. For a moment, she had mixed emotions, and thousands of words just came together. One sentence.
"Zhou Hao!" The girl opened her mouth and gently called out the name that she couldn't remember how many times.
"Hua Huo, I finally found you!" Zhou Hao's delicate face was filled with a happy smile, so sunny and gentle.
Hanabi's cold little face finally thawed at this moment, and her innocent and lovely smile once again filled her face. She threw herself directly into Zhou Hao's arms, who opened his arms at the same time.
"I'm sorry!" they said in unison. At this moment, these junior lovers just wanted to resolve everything and dissolve into love.
"Are you six eating dog food stupid? Go ahead and kill this couple of bitches!" Not far away, Xie Yi, who was covered in black and black, showed his white teeth and shouted viciously.
The six servants looked at each other and took action again, attacking from six directions. Zhou Hao and Hua Huo were surrounded by them.
"Just teach him a lesson, don't kill anyone." Hua Huo reminded Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao nodded, then raised his arms high and made fists. The roar of the unicorn came from the arms, and the two arms became golden and bright.
The six servants also gathered their momentum at this time, preparing to launch the strongest blow. With a loud shout, they all rushed forward and punched out six times. The ground shook violently and the air exploded.
Zhou Hao also raised his arms and struck out. He punched Liu Ding and Liu with his golden arms. The pressure rumbled and covered the void. In an instant, cracks appeared on the stone arch bridge deck, spreading from the middle to the end of the bridge, frightening all the onlookers to fly away as if they were fleeing. Leaving Gongchen Bridge, several people had no time to escape and were knocked straight into the river.
Gongchen Bridge has become a battlefield between Zhou Hao Huahuo and the Xie family.
boom!
The six arms of the six servants fell limply, their bones and tendons broken by the shock of the golden arm. The latter was a stunt evolved by Zhou Hao after watching Nangong Xun's golden lin arm once used with his golden eyes. It was extremely powerful. Fierce and domineering.
Zhou Hao took advantage of the victory and pursued the victory, punching and kicking the six broken-hand servants. No matter how much the six people resisted, they were still helpless. They felt that Zhou Hao, the golden immortal, was simply not on the same energy level as them, and he had the potential to crush them. , they had no power to fight back.
In this way, after the six servants were beaten by Zhou Hao, they were all thrown off the bridge like dumplings and fell into the river.
"Okay, it's your turn!" Zhou Hao turned to Xie Yi, whose facial expression was obviously tense, and walked towards him step by step.
"Don't... don't think that it's a big deal just because you knocked down a few servants. If you have the guts, wait until I call my tenth brother Xie Qiang to come. He is not an ordinary golden immortal. You will be beaten to death by him." road.
"Blow it up? Me?" Zhou Hao seemed to have heard something very funny. His sharp eyes stared at the young man in front of him, whose legs were trembling. The latter was looking at him like this, and his heart went crazy.
"Ah!" Zhou Hao suddenly yawned and couldn't help but stretch. His eyes no longer looked at Xie Yi, but turned towards Hua Huo.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. We'll still be here in an hour. You can call your tenth brother over, but I want to see who beats whom!" After Zhou Hao finished speaking, he locked hands with Hua Huo. , go down the bridge.
Looking at the backs of a man and a woman strolling in the courtyard, Xie Yi was so angry that his teeth were itching, but then he smiled and said in his heart: "What a wild boy, in this Shuntian City, my Xie family covers the sky with one hand, you A mere golden immortal is so supportive, I have to torture you to death tonight."
Xie Yi then flew away with the support of the two servants, ignoring the other six servants who were still in the river. He now wanted to take revenge, and his hatred for Zhou Hao Huahuo was already deep in his bones!
Cyclamen Restaurant.
Zhou Hao and Hua Huo walked in. When everyone saw them, their eyes suddenly looked strange and they couldn't help but look at them. The shadow of the famous tree clearly made them all remember this ordinary and handsome young man from the battle on the bridge just now.
He could easily defeat six Golden Immortals with just one person. This kind of achievement could only be achieved by the geniuses from outside the area who have been entering Shuntian City in recent days, right?
Who is this boy? from where? From which sect do you learn?
Everyone had doubts, but they didn't dare to step forward rashly. Who knew whether this seemingly harmless young man would commit murder for no reason.
The turtle and the green snake waved to Hanabi. They were also very happy to see the exquisite and lovely fairy Hanabi again. Zhou Hao and Hanabi smiled at each other and walked towards the turtle table.
"Wow, it's really a Manchu-Han banquet with one hundred and eight dishes! It's so rich." Zhou Hao couldn't help but twitch his fingers when he saw the delicacies placed on four tables.
"What is the Manchu Banquet?" Hanabi asked confused.
"This is what we say in the world. The Manchu-Han banquet is a palace feast during the Qing Dynasty. It has the characteristics of the palace cuisine and the essence of local flavor. It highlights the special flavor of the Manchu and Han dishes. Barbecue, hot pot, and shabu-shabu are almost indispensable. The missing dishes also demonstrate the characteristics of Han cuisine, including grilling, deep-frying, stir-frying, stir-frying, roasting, etc., which are truly the treasure and the highest state of Chinese cuisine culture. The Manchu-Han Banquet was originally a banquet between Manchus and Han people held in the Qing Dynasty palace. A kind of joint banquet. The Manchu-Hanban banquet usually serves at least 108 kinds of dishes (54 southern dishes and 54 northern dishes), and is eaten in three days. The dishes of the Manchu-Hanban banquet include salty, sweet and meat dishes. Vegetarian, using a wide range of materials, using fine ingredients, and all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas. It means the harmony of the Manchu and Han Dynasties, one family! But later, the meaning of the Manchu-Han banquet was extended to refer to rich and exquisite dishes, with a wide variety of dishes." Zhou Hao said slowly.
"So that's it. I think a real Manchu-Han banquet must be extremely delicious. I really want to try it." After listening to Zhou Hao's description, Hanabi felt like she was being caught by a monkey, and she longed for a real Man-Han banquet.
"There's just a lot of that stuff, but it's actually not interesting. I ate it every day and I vomited." Zhou Hao complained.
"Others say the grapes are sour when they can't eat them, but you say the grapes are sour after you vomited the grapes." Hua Huo rolled her eyes at Zhou Hao.
"Okay, okay, as long as you like it, I will definitely take you down to earth to have a Manchu-Han banquet. Eat it for three days and three nights. Let's see if you, a snack foodie, can't stand it!" Zhou Hao scratched Hanabi's nose with his index finger.
"Hook!" Hanabi said, stretching out her little finger.
"Pull the hook, just pull the hook." Zhou Hao chuckled, a little impressed by Hua Huo's childlike innocence, and he also stretched out his little finger.
Hook your two little fingers on the table, turn your hands together, and touch your thumbs to each other.
"Hang yourself with a hook, it won't happen for a hundred years..."
"Hey, hey, why is it only a hundred years? It's too short. No, no, no, change it." Hua Huo quickly interrupted Zhou Hao.
"What about ten thousand years?" Zhou Hao asked tentatively.
"Ten thousand years is not too long... Let me think about it... Then... one hundred million years! Yes, just one hundred million years." Hanabi rolled her eyes and finally finalized.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, little rascal." Zhou Hao saw that Hua Huo was extremely serious about her promise, and he understood more and more how deeply she loved him.
"You are the little scoundrel, and your whole family is the scoundrel." Hanabi snorted.
"Pull the hook, hang yourself, don't change for a hundred million years!" Zhou Hao and Hua Huo made a promise together.
"Don't change. Whoever changes is a puppy, a mangy dog!" Hanabi warned.
Wugui glanced at these two guys who were almost bored to death, and said with a look of disgust: "Two kids falling in love is so childish."
"You are naive, you know that eating and eating. This is called romance. You are a dead turtle. You do n’t understand the style, do n’t understand the romance, huh!" The green snake looked at Zhou Hao's bodies and the two people was tired of the two. Turtle, comparing the two, the energy is added to the energy.
"I'm sorry, my romance is eating. The most romantic thing I can think of is eating with you until we grow old." Oogway hummed with a proud look on his face.
"Okay, you win!" The green snake was successfully amused by the turtle and consciously joined the "eating army".
Next, the two beasts turned into emotionless eating machines!
In the wind and lingering clouds, cups and plates are in a mess.
Gobble it up and leave the leftovers cold.
When a whale swallows a cow and drinks, the cup and pot bottom out.
This meal was extremely satisfying. The four of them opened their bellies for the first time and tried their best. As a result... they were all full.
After having enough wine and food, the four of them staggered out of the restaurant. People on the street gave in one after another. Zhou Hao shook his head, activated his magic power, and his body instantly adjusted to its peak state.
Hua Huo, Oogway and Green Snake followed Zhou Hao's example and adjusted in turn.
"Boy, one hour has come. My tenth brother Xie Qiang is here, and you will be beaten to death by him!" On the Gongchen Bridge, Xie Yi changed into a black suit, with a tall and straight figure, full of style. He saw Cyclamen at a glance Zhou Hao and Hua Huo walked out of the restaurant and shouted loudly, fearing that the latter would escape.
"Don't be so loud, I'm not deaf." Zhou Hao responded loudly with great interest.
"I'll beat you behind your ears later!" A cold voice seemed to penetrate everywhere, coming from a figure on the bridge.
Zhou Haoxian looked around and saw that the man was also wearing mysterious clothes, standing with his hands behind his back, standing quietly on top of the stone lion on the bridge. He was of medium stature and slightly fat, with a face like a crown jade, fair and flawless, and his aura was calm and restrained, hidden and unnoticeable. .
"What a loud tone!" Zhou Hao pulled the fireworks and turned them into a golden light, which instantly landed on the Gongchen Bridge.
Xie Qiang's sharp eyes looked at Zhou Hao and Hua Huo who were right in front of him. The moment he saw Hua Huo's exquisite and beautiful face, his eyes lit up and his pupils stagnated slightly.
"What a beautiful girl!" Xie Qiang praised inwardly.
"I can give you a chance." Suddenly, Xie Qiang looked at Zhou Hao and said.
"What opportunity?" Zhou Hao wondered.
"As long as you give this girl to me, I can spare your life." Xie Qiang said calmly.
Zhou Hao's eyes suddenly darkened, and black lines appeared all over his head. He said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Hanabi bit her lips tightly and glared at Xie Qiang angrily. She didn't say a word because she knew that would be meaningless and would only attract a shameless response from the other party.
"Don't want to? Then there is no other way. I can only do it myself, kill you, and then snatch her away." Xie Qiang sneered.
"Tenth brother, kill this wild boy and avenge me." Xie Yi shouted from the side.
"Don't worry, I will beat him up!" Xie Qiang nodded, extremely conceited.
Zhou Hao smiled slightly and whispered: "I'm waiting."
boom!
Zhou Hao was the first to attack, pushing forward with a straight palm. The wind of the palm was extremely fierce, and there were sharp roars in the space.
Xie Qiang lifted off lightly with his toes, leaving the stone lion's head. Then he fell backwards and stepped down with his right leg, trying to crush Zhou Hao's right palm.
Zhou Hao didn't panic at all. He only saw his right hand spinning around in the air, then shaking hands into a fist and swinging it violently towards Xie Qiang's fallen foot.
The void vibrated, energy ripples scattered in all directions, punches and kicks appeared to be pushing and stomping, it seemed like they were evenly matched?
"It's interesting, I underestimated you." Xie Qiang said.
Zhou Hao didn't want to say any more nonsense. He just wanted to blow up this young man who was pretending to be deep and see how he could pick up his overconfident arrogance.
"Great Sun Palm!"
He muttered silently in his heart, and his right fist turned into a palm again. In the palm of his hand, a small sun kept spinning.
A huge golden palm print appeared, and Xie Qiang immediately changed his attack. He retracted his right foot and stepped forward with his left foot. A huge black footprint also appeared, containing terrifying power.
"I will use these immortal feet to crush your golden body!"
In the night sky, the golden palm print burst out with thousands of rays of light, like a brilliant sun rushing upward. The black footprints are like a deep black hole that swallows up all the light and goes down.
And victory or defeat lies between success and failure!
