Chapter 119: Good Hope Tower
On the vast and boundless sea, the strong footsteps of the sea breeze pass by, and the waves are turbulent and roll up thousands of piles of snow. It is the deep and powerful masculine music played by the sea.
Ten days across the sky, the dazzling sunlight reflects on the sea surface, as if it were coated with a layer of silver. The sparkling waves make the sea scenery even more picturesque.
Between the sea and the sky, a blue light traveled from west to east, as fast as lightning, and suddenly returned to the shore of the mainland from the vast sea.
This shore belongs to Baiyu City - the westernmost place in Xizhou!
Like Dongzhou Shuntian City, on the west coast, at the border of Baiyu City, there is also an immortal cultivating sect similar to Jueqing Palace. However, compared to the aloof and secluded world of Jueqing Palace, this sect seems too humane. .
Dragon Slaying Pass!
The reason why it is named after the Pass is because this sect built a city wall called Chang Pass on the west coast that stretches for 100,000 miles. In the Chang Pass, a dragon corpse of the Immortal King realm is embedded. It is said that the dragon corpse is actually Dragon King of the West Sea.
The leader of the Dragon-Slaying Pass became famous because of that dragon-slaying battle. Among the masters in this battle, Qixing founded a sect and became the Dragon-Slaying Immortal King known to everyone in the West Continent. It is a pity that the Dragon-Slaying Immortal King's Dragon-Slaying Sword later turned out to be the Sword Spirit Devourer, killing the human Immortal King and leaving the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm for the Fallen Immortal Realm. He has killed countless immortals in the past three thousand years. Master. Some people speculate that it is probably because the ghost of the Dragon King of the West Sea who was killed by the Dragon-Slaying Immortal King is still there, and his immortal thoughts are hard to kill. It merged with the sword spirit to cause the current situation.
Nowadays, due to the lack of Immortal King-level masters in Zhanlong Pass, the status of its sect is naturally declining, falling again and again. If there is not a quasi-Immortal King in the pass who is struggling to support it, I am afraid that it will be coveted by those ten in an instant. The moderate forces of the West Sea Dragon King and Dragon Corpse in the Long Pass of the Thousand Miles of Walls were completely wiped out.
The quasi-immortal king was none other than Ma Lisu, the Taoist companion of the Dragon-Slaying Immortal King Long Aotian. Because the immortal martial art he practiced was called the Seven-Colored Fantasy Sword, he was known as the Seven-Colored Sword Immortal.
"Wow, what a spectacular Great Wall! I never thought that someone would build the same square city and long pass in this fairyland."
Near the west coast, you can see a long and winding snow-white city wall standing tall, really like a lying white dragon, majestic. Seeing this scene, Zhou Hao could not help but feel nostalgic. When he was still the emperor of Zhou Dynasty in the lower world, he also followed the instructions of previous dynasties and built the Great Wall to resist foreign invasion.
"Be careful, there is an astonishing energy wave coming out of that long pass. Even if it is not as good as the ruthless palace master, it is definitely not something we can compete with. In my opinion, we should take a detour, otherwise our lives may be in danger." Green Snake's eyes were fixed on the snow-white Great Wall, and soon a solemn look appeared on her face. She saw bright red blood stains all over the wall, and concluded in her heart that it was definitely not the blood of an ordinary creature.
"What do you mean? There are Immortal King-level experts in that city?" Zhou Hao was shocked when he heard this.
"It's very complicated. I can't explain it clearly. This Great Wall alone makes me feel a deep chill, as if it has the emotions of an immortal, with hatred and anger." Green Snake said.
"Yes, the Great Wall itself is very scary. In comparison, the strong men in the city don't seem so powerful." The turtle and the green snake agreed, and both saw the strangeness of the snow-white Great Wall in front of them.
"Why can't I understand what you mean? Is this Great Wall more terrifying than the Lord of the Heartless Palace?" Zhou Hao asked doubtfully.
"Don't ask, just take a detour. The most urgent task now is to find someone to ask about Funny Island!" Oogway waved his paws and reminded Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao nodded immediately. When he thought that Hanabi was still in pain from the Shark Eclipse, all his thoughts came back. No matter what the Immortal King or Immortal Master you are, Hanabi's life is real because the Great Wall is closed.
The snow-white city wall spans a hundred thousand miles, and even an immortal's eyes cannot see the end. However, Zhou Hao is sitting on the back of Lan Qilin, and a hundred thousand miles is just a blink of an eye for him.
Bypassing the Zhanlong Pass from the left, Zhou Hao came to a restaurant. This was a tower with nine floors. Every floor was bustling with people. As the saying goes, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. What are rivers and lakes? There are no more than four words: Humanity and sophistication!
If you want to find out something, a restaurant is undoubtedly the best place to go.
"This guest who has come from afar, please come in and I will show you the way. I must be a little tired from the journey and just come to our Haowang Tower to have a rest. Our Haowang Tower is the best fine restaurant along the West China Sea. , I guess you are not from Xizhou by looking at the guest officer’s clothes, so you are here today, the seafood delicacies in our restaurant are outstanding, in addition to the delicious food, there are beauties and fine wines, I guarantee that you will be satisfied!”
Zhou Hao had just driven the blue unicorn and landed on the main road of the White Jade City. Before he could walk towards the restaurant in front, he saw an enthusiastic smiling face. The man looked to be in his early twenties, with a delicate face, red lips and white teeth. Zhang Linglong talks a lot, and wearing a navy blue shirt makes this young man even more energetic, giving people an excellent first impression.
Zhou Hao praised in his heart, it was indeed a fairyland, an ordinary restaurant waiter has such a worldly temperament!
"You're so complimentary. It's obvious that I'm courting you because of Zhan Yue's mount, Blue Qilin. Why are you so happy?" Wu Gui stood on Zhou Hao's shoulder and complained.
"Wow, you're a roundworm, right? You know what I'm thinking?" Zhou Hao turned around and asked in surprise after being exposed by the turtle.
"Whatever you are thinking is written on your face..." Oogway said quietly.
"Is it really that obvious?" Zhou Hao touched his chin.
Seeing that the "distinguished guest" in front of him was a little absent-minded, the waiter at Haowang Tower hurriedly raised his voice and said: "Sir, please come inside and I will take you to the upstairs seating area, where you can enjoy the beautiful view of the West Sea."
"Oh, okay, I'm sorry, I was distracted for a moment. This little brother, please take me to your second floor." After being shouted by the young man, Zhou Hao came back to his senses instantly, smiled apologetically, and took out a bag of spirits. Jing threw it to the young guy.
"Well, thank you for the objective reward. Thank you for the objective reward. I will choose the best private room on the second floor for you, and let the beauties of our restaurant entertain the guests." The handsome boy caught the spirit crystal and took a look at the bag. Oh, my goodness, there are a hundred bright red Zhu Yan Spirit Crystals. These are top-quality goods. As expected of a master who uses a unicorn as a mount, he is indeed generous.
"I don't need a private room, and I don't need a beauty. Just find me a seat by the window facing the sea." Zhou Hao waved his hand.
"Okay, okay, everything depends on the guest officer." The young man nodded repeatedly, with a smile on his face.
Then Zhou Hao followed the restaurant waiter into this pagoda-style restaurant, and saw all kinds of people. It was really packed, just like the last time at the Cyclamen Restaurant, but the scale of this Haowang Tower was far greater. Beyond the former, the guests who come here are by no means ordinary.
As the young man said, the food at Haowanglou is mainly seafood. After all, this is the west coast, so it uses local ingredients and is famous for its local characteristics.
Diners on the first floor generally order fish, shrimps, crabs and shells from the West Sea. These seafood contain rich fairy essence and exude five colors of light. For them, they are all great tonics, which can enhance their cultivation and prolong their life. Although the Immortal Realm is a world of immortality in the eyes of mortals, immortality is eternal life after all. It will eventually decay, and there will be an end day, which is the decline of the five immortals. Not to mention the likes of Immortals and Golden Immortals, even if they have the power of the Immortal King and Immortal Master Participating in nature, you will inevitably die in the end, but the length of time is different.
The young waiter had a white towel on his right shoulder. From the moment he entered the door to the escalator, he was smiling broadly, nodding and bending, and kept saying, "Eat and drink well, you guys." "Just say hello to whatever you want to eat and drink." "I'm fine." You speak." . .
The antique tower building is made of various precious fairy trees. It has a special aroma that makes people feel comfortable. The carved beams and painted buildings inside the building are beautiful and grand. If you just eat here, it would be a bit tacky.
When he came to the escalator, the young waiter stopped, bent down and nodded, making a gesture of inviting guests upstairs. Zhou Hao nodded slightly and started to climb up the stairs. This escalator is a spiral staircase located in the center of the restaurant. 123kanshu.com
Although the people on the second floor are still noisy, it is not as noisy as the first floor. The food the diners eat is much richer and more exquisite than that on the first floor. There are all kinds of seafood delicacies neatly placed on an Eight Immortals table. Just a sniff is of great benefit to the human body, and it can be called a medicinal diet!
"It's so fragrant, I can't stand it anymore. I want to order food, I want to eat, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The turtle saw all the delicious food around him, but he could only suck it in with his nose. It was so greedy that its saliva dripped all around. Hao's shoulder.
"Calm down, we are here to inquire about information, not to satisfy your personal desires." The green snake hit the turtle on the head with its tail.
"It's okay. Don't ask about Gong while eating. We can just treat ourselves as normal diners who come to the restaurant to eat." Zhou Hao said softly.
"Sir, do you think it's OK to arrange this position for you?" The handsome young man pointed to a window seat on the west side.
Zhou Hao nodded and said yes. Then he walked over and sat down, where he could just see the blue sea. The salty sea breeze penetrated through the window sill and went straight into his nostrils, with a warm breath.
"Yes, I like this position very much. Now let's start ordering like crazy. My belly is already hungry and thirsty." At this time, the turtle had jumped off Zhou Hao's shoulders and became normal size. It tried to stand upright. The waist bar sat cross-legged like a scholar. Zhou Hao, who was opposite it, almost died laughing when he saw this. He was thankful in his heart: Fortunately, we haven't eaten this yet, otherwise we would have wasted so much food.
Theirs is a private seat. The table is not high, only reaching the level of the human knee. Therefore, there are no chairs, only four straw futons as seats. The turtle and green snake sat side by side, and Zhou Hao sat next to the smaller blue unicorn. Even though the latter was a mount, in this fairyland, the status of the mount was not much lower than that of its owner. It was very common to share meals at the same table. .
"Sir, this is the menu card for our Haowang Tower. Please take a look at it." The young waiter handed Zhou Hao a beautifully crafted jade plaque with the word "two" engraved on it.
"Menu card?" Zhou Hao took the jade card and asked with confusion.
"My guest doesn't know. The tables in our store are all specially made. Do you see a sunken place in the middle of the table? Just put the jade sign in your hand on it, and the menu on the second floor will be displayed on the table. ." The young man explained quickly.
"I see, that's interesting." Zhou Hao smiled knowingly, and then gently placed the jade card called the menu card into the square groove on the table.
In an instant, a curtain of light appeared on the table, and within the curtain were lifelike dishes. There are snapper and lobster, abalone and sea cucumber, clams and scallops, snails and sea crabs... There are thousands of dishes available, either steamed and stir-fried, or braised for a delicious flavor, or slow-cooked and braised, or fried and boiled... Eighteen kinds of cooking methods emerge in endlessly.
"The Immortal Realm is the Immortal Realm. This kind of work that would be considered extremely extravagant in the mortal world is probably just ordinary here." Zhou Hao shook his head with a wry smile. He remembered that he once boasted of being the most luxurious person in the mortal world. He is an emperor in his food, but now he seems to be too ridiculous.
"This is simply... paradise!" Wugui's eyes were almost dizzy, and his saliva flowed all over the floor in an exaggerated way.
"Sir, if you want any dishes, you can touch the virtual dishes on the light screen. The chefs in the kitchen will make the dishes in the shortest time. At that time, a gourmet girl will bring the dishes to you. During your meal, If you have any other requirements, you can tap the menu card three times, and we will have a dedicated waiter to serve you wholeheartedly. Finally, I wish you a happy meal, and I will go out to solicit customers!" the young waiter explained with a smile.
"Okay, little brother, go ahead and get busy." Zhou Hao said.
"I want them all! If you order all these dishes, I will die alive, wow." The turtle couldn't walk when it saw the delicious food. It kept touching the light screen with its little black paws for a while. .
"I'm sorry, turtle, are you rich? Every dish on the second floor costs no less than 300 high-grade spiritual crystals. If you order them all, I don't have the money to pay for you." Zhou Hao's eyes almost popped out of his head. , every dish on the light screen has a clearly marked price. There are thousands of dishes on the menu on the second floor. He can't afford to pay for all the dishes even if he sells himself and the turtle.
"I want them all! If you order all these dishes, I will die alive, wow." The turtle couldn't walk when it saw the delicious food. It kept touching the light screen with its little black paws for a while. .
"I'm sorry, you're very rich, turtle, right? Every dish on the second floor costs no less than 300 high-grade spiritual crystals. If you order them all, I don't have the money to pay for you." Zhou Hao's eyes almost popped out of his head. Okay, every dish on the light screen has a clearly marked price. There are thousands of dishes on the menu on the second floor. He can't afford to pay for all the dishes even if he sells himself and the turtle.
"Having fun when you go out to eat is the most important thing. You always use money to talk things over and lower the price. This is a fairyland. Don't use your mortal ways to pollute the harmonious fairy atmosphere of the entire fairyland, okay? Be more magnanimous and don't act like a common person. Fortunately, you were once a personal emperor." Unexpectedly, the old turtle god was here, careless, and while ordering dishes, he still had time to talk, and "sincerely" advised Zhou Hao.
"Haha, do you know that I used to be the Human Emperor? But now I am just an ordinary person, ah, no, ordinary immortal, how do you want me to enlarge the situation? What they want is for me to enlarge the wallet!" Zhou Hao's mouth twitched, Gan smiled.
"Okay, okay, I just need to order less. After all, the table is too small and can't fit at all. Just order half of it."
"Well, that's right...~~~~Bah, you're right, what's the difference between half order and full order? Labor and management can't afford it!"
In the end, with the intervention of Green Snake's third-party "friendly greeting", Wugui only ordered twenty dishes. This made Zhou Hao once again understand a very simple and practical truth: try not to talk about problems that can be solved by hands!
Restaurants are indeed the most earthly places, bringing together three religions from the southeast, northwest, and nine streams. No matter where you come from or what your background is, as long as you have money, you can be on an equal footing with everyone, eat the same, and drink the same.
On the second floor of this restaurant, the surrounding diners were enjoying delicious food and drinking freely. After three rounds of drinking, they couldn't help but feel a little drunk, so they talked without any scruples like pouring beans through a bamboo tube. It was really said that they could say whatever they wanted. Zhou Hao didn't hear anything about how to find Funny Island, but he did hear a lot of anecdotes and gossip about Xizhou and Xihai.
"Hey, brothers, have you heard about it? There has been a big incident in the West Sea recently. It is said that the fairy race in the sea has obtained a treasure and is preparing to attack Dragon Slaying Pass."
"I know, I know, it has spread. I heard that just three days ago, a great immortal-level master in Xihai borrowed a sacred object from the Jinzhou Monster Clan. The sacred object is said to be an immortal king-level magic weapon, so in Xihai Only the Great Immortal has the confidence to declare war on Dragon-Slaying Pass."
"Three thousand years have passed, but Xihai still refuses to give up?"
"Hmph, of course it's impossible to give up. The old Dragon King in the West Sea was killed by Long Aotian, leaving the West Sea without an owner. More than half of the entire West Sea regards the Xian family on the Xizhou Continent as their mortal enemies, and Dragon Slaying Pass as Long Ao The only proof of existence in the sky is that it will naturally bear all the wrath of the West Sea."
"It's all the fault of Long Aotian. In order to forge his own fairy sword, he actually thought of slaying the dragon and quenching it. Just slay the dragon if you say slay the dragon, but he also killed the Dragon King of the West Sea. It caused harm to our White Jade City for almost 10 years. It has been invaded by the Xihai fairy race every year. If Xizhou and Xihai hadn't signed a king's contract, the immortal kings of both sides would not be able to interfere, otherwise the Dragon Slayer Pass would have been destroyed countless times."
"This time Xihai is going to attack Dragon Slaying Pass on a large scale again. I want to see how that widowed quasi-immortal king Ma Lisu defends the pass. It would be best if both sides die together. That would be a happy event for everyone."
Listening to the "high talk" of the diners around him, Zhou Hao roughly understood the reason why the west coast was not peaceful recently, but he was not interested in either Dragon Slaying Pass or the Xihai Immortal Clan. Only Funny Island was his Topics of greatest concern.
"Hey, you just mentioned that the Great Immortal of the West Sea borrowed a magical weapon from Jinzhou to deal with the Seven Colored Sword Immortal Ma Lisu of Dragon Slayer Pass. Do you know how powerful that weapon is?" At this moment, a chuckle came from the right side of Zhou Hao's table, and everyone on the second floor turned their eyes to the owner of the laughter.
There was also an elegant seat, and there were only two young people sitting there. One was very tall and muscular. Even when he was sitting cross-legged, he was half taller than a normal person standing. The other person is tall and thin, with a long face and longer hands. He looks like an ape. If the former is white and fat, then the latter is black and thin.
The two of them sat opposite each other, and the dishes on the table were already in a mess.
It was the tall and thin young man who spoke earlier. When he saw that everyone was looking at him, he stopped showing off and said loudly: "That weapon is King Kong, the strongest among the seven demon kings a hundred thousand years ago. The orangutan's magical weapon - Qi Tianzhu! It can be big or small, giant or thin. Within this immortal domain, it can break all the barriers under the immortal master and reach anywhere it wants to go. It is a true demon The clan’s peerless sacred object!”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the immortals present were shocked and dumbfounded. It was true that the name of the Demon King King Kong Ape was as loud as thunder, and his deeds had a far-reaching impact.
However, at this moment, Zhou Hao was also shocked by the man's words. He murmured: "You can reach anywhere you want to go..."
