Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 823 I'll Depend on You
Half a month later, Yi Shuyuan and others appeared on the peak of the mountain where the Zen pavilion was located on the back mountain of Daqiu Temple, accompanied by a spring breeze.

"I didn't expect that the mountains and rivers in this "Map of Mountains and Rivers" are so rich. I saw you refining this treasure with my own eyes. The power of immortals is so magnificent. Who can imagine it if you haven't experienced it yourself?"

Jiang Lang's words were full of emotion. The world of mountains and rivers was already another world, that is, a true paradise outside the world. It was even more magnificent than the definition of paradise in the immortal way. He could only think so, but he stopped there, because he dared not even think of anything deeper.

At that time, Jiang Lang actually didn't quite understand why Huang Zihe, an old minister of the East China Sea, had been obsessed with the "Map of Mountains, Rivers and States" after seeing it. At that time, there was no sign of this treasure yet, which shows how sharp the vision of old Huang Jiao was.

Yi Shuyuan also said something with a smile.

"Don't mention Brother Jiang. In fact, I couldn't imagine what's happening now."

"Hey, Jiang Long Wang, don't believe it. The gentleman is just trying to save your face!"

Hui Mian said this in a mean way, Jiang Lang glared at him, while Xue Tian only dared to laugh secretly on the side.

"Wow—"

The cry of an eagle echoed in the mountains. Yi Shuyuan listened attentively for a while, then slowly turned around and looked towards the cliff outside the pavilion. Jiang Lang and others seemed to have noticed something as well and turned around to look.

On the outer edge of the cliff, there is a plant with green leaves and red flowers, but now it is covered by ice and snow, looking like a beautiful ice sculpture.

Yi Shuyuan suddenly understood something and after counting with his fingers he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

It could be said to be an unintentional act. In fact, Yi Shuyuan seemed to have some feeling when he brought Jiang Lang into the Mountain and River Realm before. But if it was intentional, these delicious dishes were all brought by Jiang Lang, and taking out the Thousand Dou Pot was indeed to make amends.

Looking at the green leaves and red flowers again at this moment, Yi Shuyuan muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"Look at this situation, only one glass of wine was spilled"

"Hmm? Sir?" "Old Yi, what are you talking about? I'm warning you, don't play dumb with me!"

Yi Shuyuan waved his hands and said "I dare not", then he expressed his feelings after the calculation just now, pointing out everything that had happened here before as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Listening to Yi Shuyuan's narration, Jiang Lang walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the short-lived beautiful green leaves and red flowers frozen in ice. He turned back to look at Yi Shuyuan while thinking.

"If you pour out the remaining three cups of wine, this azalea will bloom from the cold winter to June and won't be frozen and destroyed!"

Huimian's tail swept over Xue Tian's head, and the latter also frowned.

Although neither Mr. Yi nor Jiang Longwang said who the monk was, Xue Tian now knew clearly.

"Junior Brother Xuesheng."

This junior fellow disciple who entered the Daqiu Temple a few years ago was actually reluctant to be ordained at first. Many monks in the temple did not want to accept him, but the master unexpectedly accepted him as a disciple for the first time, and his seniority was immediately raised to a very high position among the younger generation.

In the first two years, apart from a few eminent monks who were devoted to Buddhism, perhaps Xue Tian was the only one among the younger generation who treated Xue Sheng sincerely.

"Xuesheng?"

Hui Mian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.

"He won't be"

Xue Tian nodded.

"I heard that when I was walking through the ice and snow to reach Daqiu Temple, his mother gave birth in the temple, and the midwife was a fairy lady!"

“Oh, there is also this story.”

Jiang Lang sighed again, and Yi Shuyuan said "let's go", and walked down the mountain.

If they talk too much, Xue Tian might reveal that it was Mi Li who delivered the baby. Then Yi Shuyuan felt that his ears would be annoyed for a while.

When he went down the stone steps, Yi Shuyuan looked up at the sky and the circling goshawk had already flown away.

Although Qi Zhongbin had not told Yi Shuyuan that he could transform into a goshawk, and Yi Shuyuan had not seen the transformation process before, Yi Shuyuan still saw through it at a glance. Although he did not have the external brilliance of the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, it must be said frankly that his magic eyes were better than the real Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils.

In Daqiu Temple, Yi Shuyuan and others met the monk Wufa in the Zen room. Both sides mentioned what happened in the Zen Pavilion, which was both unintentional and seemed destined.

But there was not much in-depth conversation. Monk Wufa returned the cleaned food box and the tableware inside to Jiang Lang, and then Yi Shuyuan and others said goodbye and left.

Originally, we could have gone together on Xue Tian's day, but he declined.
-
Wanghu Tower is a time-honored restaurant located on the bank of Changfeng Lake in Changfeng Prefecture, Dayong. Thanks to the fame of Changfeng Lake, it has long been famous throughout Dayong and even abroad.

In order to maintain the reputation of their own Wanghu Tower, the Dong family tried every possible means to ensure that no matter how many expansions they made, the beautiful location of the building would be affected. They also racked their brains to pass on their own famous dishes while hiring famous chefs and training good disciples for Wanghu Tower. This is how Wanghu Tower got its reputation.

Nowadays, even though Wanghu Tower is not small in scale, it is becoming increasingly difficult to reserve a table at the Wanghu Tower. If you invite friends to have a meal at the Wanghu Tower, needless to say, both parties will feel very honored.

At noon today, Jiang Lang brought Yi Shuyuan back to the outside of the building. The area was already full of carriages and horses. Before they even got there, Hui Mian was already sniffing frequently.

"Alas, the dishes at Wanghu Pavilion are becoming more and more outstanding. It's a pity that Fellow Daoist Ao has no intention of hosting a Dragon Transformation Banquet. If he were to host one, I would definitely invite the chefs from Wanghu Pavilion to prepare it. With the rare and precious ingredients provided, it will definitely be better than the Dragon Transformation Banquet at the North Sea, even if it doesn't astound the three realms!"

"Hehe, we two finally have some common opinions. You don't have to be polite to me today. I'll let you eat as much as you want!"

At this moment, Hui Mian jumped directly from Yi Shuyuan's shoulder to Jiang Lang's shoulder, and the two of them walked towards Wanghu Tower first. Yi Shuyuan followed with a smile. To be honest, he actually missed the dishes in Wanghu Tower.

When Jiang Lang walked over, the two waiters at the door of Wanghu Tower saw him from a distance, and before the waiter arrived, they had already gone over to greet him.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Jiang? Long time no see—"

"Oh, Master Jiang is here!"

A waiter even shouted inside, asking Jiang Lang and Yi Shuyuan to arrive at Wanghu Tower, and even the shopkeeper came over to greet them.

"Master Jiang, you haven't come for a while since the last time you took out a table of food. Oh, you are not alone today. This person must be Master Jiang's honored guest, right? Come in, come in!"

"Hahahahahaha, this is Jiang's good friend. Is there a seat available?"

Jiang Lang asked with a smile, and the shopkeeper nodded attentively.

"Of course there are, of course there are. How can there not be any when Master Jiang comes? Oh, and we have some new dishes. I will send them to Master Jiang to try and give his comments. If there is anything wrong, I will ask the chef to make some changes!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Jiang Lang walked forward with a smile, and Yi Shuyuan followed beside him. Wanghu Tower solemnly invited them upstairs.

Many people who saw this scene thought that it must be princes and nobles who had come, but a small number of people who often came to Wanghu Tower knew that Mr. Jiang was not only the big sponsor of Wanghu Tower, but also an expert in food connoisseurship that Wanghu Tower wanted to honor.

In one of the private rooms in Wanghu Tower reserved for special situations, fine wine and delicious food were prepared.

After three rounds of drinks, the shopkeeper and a chef came to the private room with a few dishes. After exchanging pleasantries, they immediately explained their purpose and said nothing when they saw a mink eating at the table.

"Master Jiang, this is a dish that I ordered people to learn from Mingzhou. It is still a specialty there. It is difficult for ordinary people to taste and is very troublesome to prepare, but it tastes very delicious. Please try it and see if there is anything wrong with it!"

Jiang Lang and Hui Mian were both slightly stunned when they saw the dish. Yi Shuyuan knew it was not simple when he saw them like this, and he understood what was going on.

"Did you cook this dish?"

The cook responded quickly.

"Yes, Master Jiang, this dish is really not easy to make. Take this one for example. It must be handled very carefully. If it is not done properly, it is easy to get poisoned. Uh, Master Jiang, don't worry, I am very careful and there will be no problem. I can try it for you first!"

"No need, this dish can be made and tastes delicious in hot soup, it's really amazing!"

Yi Shuyuan didn't eat it at that time, but Jiang Lang and Hui Mian knew that this was clearly a dish that appeared in the North Sea Dragon Banquet, or it could be said to be a common ingredient used by the dragon clan. The only difference was that this dish was hot, and it had good color, aroma and taste. The other dishes were similar.

"Where did you learn that from?"

Jiang Lang asked, and the chef smiled.

"Before, tea merchants from Mingzhou came to our building. I happened to hear them talking about the strange things in Mingzhou. An old man named Mo studied the dishes of the Dragon Palace Banquet in his dream. He collected all kinds of rare treasures from all over the world and actually figured out something. The shopkeeper asked me to go and take a look. I was lucky, and old man Mo was open-minded and said he hoped to promote the dishes. That’s how I learned something."

Shi Sheng’s father!

The three people sitting at the table already understood.

Jiang Lang was not polite either. He directly stretched out his chopsticks to taste the food. Naturally, he praised it highly, but he also pointed out some shortcomings. After the shopkeeper and the cook left happily, Hui Mian couldn't wait to start eating the dishes.

This meal lasted quite long, from noon to night, and they kept adding more dishes. As for wine, there was naturally the thousand-bottle pot in Jiang Lang's hand.

However, they did not neglect their business during the meal, as the Turtle Prime Minister from Changfeng Lake also came by. Jiang Lang ordered the aquatic creatures in Changfeng Lake to go to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to report and inform them that Bai Jun agreed to the dragon clan's affairs.

But Jiang Lang himself did not go. In his own words, he had been sticking to Yi Shuyuan and relying on him for some time.

After all, if the four dragon kings came but couldn't find anyone, that would be a big joke.

Bai Jun is in the world of mountains and rivers, and can only enter and exit through the "Map of Mountains, Rivers and States".

Yi Shuyuan didn't care. After all, it was impossible for his White Dragon Transformation to hide from the dragon clan forever. Besides, maybe the timing was about right!
