Shaw Danon was surprised, said: "You, you..."

Zeng Shushu pursed his lips and said, "Look at how scared you are. What does it matter? Ever since I started learning the Art of Sword Manipulation, I've naturally had to practice it frequently. I've been flying all the way here, and when I'm tired, I'll go down and take a stroll. What's so great about that? "

Shaw Danon was speechless.

Listening to their conversation, Kevern smiled, turned to Lu XueQi and said: "Lu shimei, it is getting late, we will stay here tonight and continue our journey tomorrow."

Lu XueQi's face was as cold as ice, without the slightest expression, and only nodded lightly.

After entering the city, in order to avoid trouble, they had already changed their Qing Yun sect disciple attire, so it did not arouse any suspicions. But Anan XueQi's beauty caused quite a commotion, causing many passersby to stop and look. Shaw Danon peeked at Anan. Though she was expressionless, her eyes flashed with anger. He couldn't help but worry for the passersby. If Aeolian Firmus is unsheathed, half of this ancient city will be destroyed.

But Anan's self-restraint was much better than Shaw Danon expected. Anan did not do anything until they entered a tavern called "Shanhai Yuan". Kevern was the most experienced in the group. He was the leader of the four. He was also the one who arranged the accommodations. After that, they were arranged to stay in the best room in the back garden.

This Shanhai Garden was very big, there were four courtyards in the back garden. The four of them lived in the west garden, each of them had a room. After resting for a while, Kevern called for everyone to eat at the restaurant in front.

Shanhai Garden had its own restaurant, located on the busiest street in HeYang City, but in the VIP lounge on the third floor, it was very quiet. There were less than ten tables in the spacious hall, and right now there were about five tables with guests eating at them. Kevern called the waiter over and ordered a few dishes. He seemed to be very familiar with this place, so he was most likely a regular.

Shaw Danon thought. He was born in a farmer's family. He had never been to such a luxurious place like Shanhai Yuan. When he passed by the second floor, he saw the hall was magnificent. But when he got to the third floor, he saw the carvings of dragons and phoenixes, mahogany beams, antique, completely different from the second floor. Of course, he didn't know that when people reached a place of wealth, they would instead pursue status and taste. Even though some people liked splendor and luxury, in order to let others say that they were cultured, it was common for them to attach themselves to elegance.

The four of them sat at a small table near the window. Zeng Shushu glanced at the decorations in the hall and said to Kevern, "Brother Qi, the price here is not cheap, right?"

QiHao smiled and said: "This is the best restaurant in HeYang City, naturally it won't be cheap, but our Qing Yun sect has a good reputation here, their boss is eager for us to come, he won't charge us much."

Zeng Shushu made an "ah" sound and nodded his head in agreement. After a while, the waiter brought a few plates of stir-fried dishes to the table, especially a plate of fresh stewed fish at the end. The fish's body was elongated, the front was round, the back was narrow, the body was dark brown, and it had two pairs of whiskers, thick and long. The most important part was the meat was white and smooth, the aroma was very appetizing.

Shaw Danon was always interested in cooking, but he had never seen this kind of fish before. He couldn't help but asked the waiter: "Waiter, what is this fish called, and how is it cooked?"

The waiter chuckled and said, "Customer, you really have good taste. This' Clear Braised Dreaming Fish 'is our Shanhai Garden's signature dish. It is fragrant and tender, fragrant and sweet. Within a hundred miles of HeYang City, it is very famous …"

Shaw Danon swallowed his saliva, picked up the chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He immediately closed his eyes and nodded: "Ah, the meat is really good, but it is cooked even better. The sweetness is added some sugar, ginger to remove the fishy smell. Eh, it has the flavor of fried onions, must have used fresh onions. Ah, the rarest is the pepper, five spices, eh... that's right, and sesame oil, the taste is so good. Amazing, amazing!"

His intoxicated look made Kevern and Issa dumbfounded, even Anan also looked at him with a strange expression. But the waiter standing at the side was really impressed, loudly praised: "Customer is really an expert, you know what is good for you!"

Shaw Danon noticed everyone's expression. His face blushed, quickly put down the chopsticks, but still asked: "May I ask waiter, where does Longfish come from?"

Before the waiter could say anything, a woman's voice from the big table next door said, "This Longfish is a special product of the Zhugou Mountains in the south. It's a thousand li away from here, how could it be transported here? Aren't you lying?" (Note 1)

Everyone was surprised. They looked at that table and saw there were eight people sitting there. Six men in yellow clothes, two women. One of the women was wearing a light purple dress, her face was covered by a light veil, her face could not be seen clearly, but the exposed skin was snow white. The other woman was the one who spoke. She was not old, only about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was wearing a light green dress, her face was beautiful, thin eyebrows, snow white skin, a pair of bright eyes were very lively, even compared to Anan.

Shaw Danon exclaimed: "Ah". After the woman said that, her eyes fell on Anan, it seemed she was also surprised by Anan's appearance. Women love beauty, even Lu XueQi who was usually as cold as ice, could not help but take a second look at that woman.

The waiter smiled apologetically: "Customer is right. But you don't know, a hundred years ago, Longfish was unique to Zhugou Mountain in the south. But then Jadeon's Master Doyal Shen passed by Zhugou Mountain, purposely moved the Longfish back, placed it in Jadeon's Yin River. Now, it not only survived, but also became prosperous. We are all indebted to Qing Yun Hill's Profound Daoist immortals, that's why we have this good fortune! "As he spoke, his face revealed an expression of extreme reverence.

Shaw Danon and the other Jadeon people were very happy. But the girl heard it, looked at the veiled woman, then sat back and snorted.

After finishing the delicious dinner, Shaw Danon and others returned to their house with satisfaction. Kevern said to them at the door of west garden: "Tonight everyone can rest here. Tomorrow morning, we will go to Kongsang Mountain."

Shaw Danon and Issa answered, but Anan did not say anything. She went back to her room and closed the door. Kevern was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly at the two: "Shidi, you should also rest early."

Shaw Danon looked at Kevern's handsome face. Under the setting sun, Kevern's spirit was not any less than usual. Instead, it was like he was out of this world. Shaw Danon suddenly felt disheartened. He reluctantly greeted Issa, then ignored Kevern and went back to his room.

Issa laughed, chatted with Kevern for a while, then both of them went back to their rooms to rest.

That night was the first time Shaw Danon left Mount Jadeon for five years. He tossed and turned, not knowing why he could not sleep well. When he finally managed to fall asleep in the middle of the night, he suddenly dreamed that he was covered in blood and stood in the middle of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. At the same time, an indescribable fanatical killing intent surged in the depths of his heart. It was as if the red blood in front of him was like sweet spring water, attracting him, enticing him, making him want to kill to obtain all of this.

"Ah!"

Shaw Danon woke up from the dream. He sat up, panting. His body was soaked in sweat. After a while, his beating heart slowly calmed down.

He sat in a daze in the dark for a long time. Unintentionally, he reached out his hand and touched the firestick beside his pillow. A cold feeling enveloped him. This dream was very similar to the nightmares he had been having over the years. It was as if he had turned into another person. The bloodthirsty and vicious man in the dream made him feel fear.

There was no sound, and the surroundings were pitch black.

He crossed his legs, sat up straight in the darkness, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, put his hands together in front of him.

The darkness was like a gentle woman, gently wrapped around his body. A layer of faint golden light was faintly emitted from his body. Reflecting the faint light, Shaw Danon's face was covered with a layer of solemnity that he should not have.

After a long time, the layer of golden light faded away. Shaw Danon opened his eyes in the darkness. His heart was peaceful. Every time at this time, he especially missed the kind monk Pozhi.

He did not feel sleepy anymore. He walked to the door, opened it and walked out. The rooms next to him were all dark. Kevern and others must be asleep. Shanhai Court's back garden was built in a garden. There were four courtyards in the four directions. Shaw Danon walked out from his West Garden and came to the garden in the center of the garden.

It was already late at night. Looking at the sky, stars filled the sky. A full moon hung on the edge of the sky. The night wind was gentle, with a hint of fragrance. The path was winding and deep, leading to an unknown place. Beside the path, grass, shrubs, all kinds of flowers were blooming.

Shaw Danon's heart was confused. He walked down the path. The wind brushed against his face, bringing a hint of coolness.

In such a quiet night, a young man was walking alone in the deep garden, reminiscing the past.

Beside the road, a small flower was trembling in the night wind. There were crystal dewdrops on the pink white petals. Shaw Danon stopped and stared at it dumbfoundedly.

There was a faint fragrance coming from it.

Suddenly, a slender hand, like coming from the eternal darkness, with a kind of beauty, with the moon and stars in the sky, touched the flower.

Broke it off!

At that moment, a "boom" sounded in Shaw Danon's mind. It was like the moon had lost its light. The garden suddenly fell into darkness.

He turned his head and looked at that direction, with a little bit of hatred.

A young girl in water green dress stood there, like attracting the light from the sky. She gently put the flower in front of her nose and took a deep sniff.

Note one: "Classics of Mountains and Seas, Book of Mountains, Book of Mountains, Zhu Gou Mountain" Another five hundred miles south, called Zhu Gou Mountain, no plants, many sand and stones. It is a mountain, a hundred miles wide, many sleeping fish.
