The fifth day of February.
Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom welcomes the grand event, Heroic Gathering will be held as scheduled!
Early in the morning, amid bursts of salutes, Boss Li of Li's Restaurant led all the store clerks and Wood Spirit Servant who helped with chores, wearing neat uniforms and well-trained smiles at the corners of their mouths at a 45-degree angle, to send off the VIPs staying in the store to go out for the competition.
"I wish Master Sha a successful start!"
"Yes, yes! Turn left when you go out, and go where there are many people. Today Origin Opening is happy everywhere, no matter where you go!"
"Fellow Daoist Li will open a VIP room for another five days? That's right. Fellow Daoist, you are confident that you can pass five levels in a row and win the first prize in one fell swoop!"
Boss Li hasn't stopped talking all morning. As one of the few restaurants in the Far West inner city that does not offer special services and has no special features to attract special tourists, he must put in more enthusiasm and thought than his peers in order to win more Spirit Stone from outside monks during the duration of this Heroic Gathering!
After the last guest was sent away, Boss Li's stiff old waist had a chance to straighten up. He rubbed his neck, looked at a group of impatient guys, and even waved to give them a day off. Although it was a bit painful to still pay him half a day off, but today, if he didn't give him this leave, these bastards would really dare to skin him alive.
He himself wanted to take a break!
Heroic Gathering, the founding of the Wanxiu Dynasty, such a grand event was probably only experienced by the Heavenly Origin Dynasty in the ancient times when humanity was at its peak. Now that he was here, how could he not experience it personally.
He even signed up to participate in the spiritual chef project. Whether he got good results or not is not important, but the souvenirs given during the competition are important!
He quickly put on the gorgeous robe, not to show off, but just to not embarrass Kaiyuan People.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard bursts of salutes. Boss Li looked up and saw brilliant fireworks exploding in the sky that was always shrouded by death clouds in the far west. The unheard-of exclamations of monks from other places rang in his ears. The local monks knew how to bury their exclamations in their hearts and speed up their steps like Boss Li.
"As soon as the salute is fired, the opening ceremony will begin. Lao Li, you can't get a seat even though you're walking on your feet. Come on, get in the car and I'll give you a ride!"
The acquaintance Old Wang drove a Gliding Spirit Car that was not very low-key and had little use other than showing off his wealth, and fell in front of Boss Li.
Boss Li hesitated, thinking that although the hearse might not be much faster than his legs, Old Wang was well organized at the Far West Elder Hall, and he was still showing off the front-row tickets he had been assigned a few days ago. This was not a prostitution, nor was he sorry for the pain he Boss Li had suffered from his unfaithful reception of Old Wang over the years.
Holding Old Wang's increasingly plump waist, facing the puzzled, suspicious, and slightly disgusting eyes of the foreign monks, Old Wang turned the accelerator, and Gliding Spirit Car was sliding and sliding in the air more than ten feet.
"Old Wang You haven't been to a restaurant for a while, and you're almost too thin! If you hadn't called me, I almost wouldn't have recognized you!" Boss Li was riding in a car, blowing the wind, and saying beautiful words that were heartbreaking.
"It's not like I've lost weight! I've been bitten by the elders these days. The elders said that I was too fat, which damaged Elder Hall's image, and they forced me to practice Qigong to lose weight. However, I finally got over it. After watching the opening ceremony today, Lao Li, you have to cook for me in person!"
Old Wang licked his plump lips, and the sound of saliva slurping covered the sound of wind in his ears. Boss Li endured his nausea and said:
"The Hall of Elders is too much. With your qualifications and temperament, Old Wang, if you put them out, they are a symbol of the national strength of Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, and an ironclad proof that Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom favors the people of Jixi. How can it be embarrassing? In my opinion, the political consciousness of those elders in the Elders Hall is still not in place!"
"Who is Far West? How do you say it, Lao Li? Old Wang I am Kaiyuan People, Kaiyuan People with a good foundation!"
Old Wang, who was born and raised in Far West, was 10,000 unhappy when he heard Lao Li calling him Far West. He squeezed the brakes and pinned Lao Li to the sky. Lao Li also reacted immediately. Knowing that he had made a mistake, he held his hands and apologized:
"Kaiyuan People, we are all Kaiyuan People, Old Wang you were in the fairyland when Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom was established, you are not Kaiyuan People, who is still Kaiyuan People!"
After a long apology, he smoothed out Lao Wang's hair. After the gliding hearse slithered forward again, Boss Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The identity boundaries between foreign monks like them are becoming increasingly blurred, and the slogan put forward by Zhenren Su has come true. People who come to Kaiyuan are Kaiyuan people. Even the aborigines of Jixi like Lao Wang are now very concerned about others calling them Jixi people.
It's not that they forget their ancestors because of their ancestry, it's just that they have nothing to miss about their days as Far West people. Instead, it's the century-old prosperity of Origin Opening that gives them a greater sense of identity as Kaiyuan People.
But in fact, there is a difference between Far West people and foreign monks like them. At least, Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom's policies are supportive to Far West people, and there are many preferential treatment for the Far West Elder Hall like Old Wang.
But Old Wang was a distinguished guest in his restaurant, so Lao Li would not be foolish enough to argue with him. The two chatted and laughed for a few more words, and then they landed near the conference venue.
Tsk!
Whoosh whoosh!
Tweet, Tweet, Tweet!
They saw a Flying Peng Puppet, a Auspicious Cloud Crane, and a Celebration Cloud Vehicle passing their hearse quickly. Because they overtook without saying hello, the spiritual power they aroused almost overturned the two people on the Gliding Spirit Car. Old Wang had such a hot temper that he immediately started to curse.
"Anyone with no qualifications dares to race in the inner city. Your grandpa and I have installed surveillance cameras in the hearse. I have to report you!"
"Old Wang What are you doing? Delete the surveillance immediately. That's Temple District's person and has privileges!"
Boss Li, who values being friendly and getting rich, was very envious of Old Wang's character of being angry when unhappy with anyone, but after seeing the people across from him wearing white robes with gold trim, he didn't quite approve of Old Wang's approach.
Since Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom attracted a large number of immigrants, the inner and outer city of Far West has been expanded several times, but it has also been overcrowded and many problems have arisen, one of which is sky transportation.
Originally capable monks, in order to show their superior cultivation and can fly in the sky, they would never walk on the ground. The more people who fly, the more accidents will happen and the more people will be crippled.
When Su's Group launched various flying puppets, and other industries followed suit, launching flying vehicles like Old Wang and Gliding Spirit Car that could realize the dream of escaping into the sky regardless of cultivation level, the sky in West City became more and more crowded day by day, with more flying people and more useless people.
Until True Person Su launched Flight Law, it was required that all high-altitude escapees in West City must be registered, and their speed and route would be restricted based on comprehensive considerations such as their cultivation level and tax amount, and flying vehicles must be equipped with monitoring puppets provided by Su's Group to supervise each other and help law enforcement make fair decisions in handling accidents.
This rule has made Su's Group's surveillance puppets so popular. Let's not talk about it for now. Let's just say that after this rule, the number of air crashes in West City has indeed decreased a lot.
If measured by this law, the white-robed monks in front of them should indeed be scolded, but there are always some privileged people who can transcend the law.
Temple District and several newly introduced Deity Attendant are among this list.
In today's world, evil spirits are in power, and the mortal monks of the Celestial Origin Realm are troubled by them. Therefore, believing in ghosts and gods and asking for help from ghosts and gods has become very popular among mortal monks, and the incense of the gods is becoming more and more prosperous day by day.
And a god can not only bring protection to the local area, but also promote the development of god-related industries, such as temple construction, incense and candle trading, etc., and attracting a god can also attract a series of gods Believers, which is the hot spot in the talent competition between Heavenly Origin and Great Immortal Kingdom today.
True Person Su was far-sighted and planned Temple District to place gods in Far West very early. In this wave of competition among gods, Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom became the third choice for many new gods after the Penglai Immortal Kingdom who created Human Heavenly Court, and Execution Heavenly Kingdom who took charge of the gods.
For these newly introduced gods, True Person Su has also given many special policies. For example, before they have adapted to the rules of the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom, the rules of the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom are temporarily not applicable to them!
But obviously, Old Wang does not agree with Boss Li's point of view, and only thinks that he is cowardly.
"Privileges? What's wrong with privileges! Who hasn't got some privileges yet! I am a native of Far West, the target of True Person Su's repeated requests for preferential treatment, a good citizen who knows the law and abides by the law, what can be wrong with reporting this gang of drag racing gangs who are on the road to crime!"
Didn't you just say that you are Kaiyuan People! When it comes to privileges, you remember that you are Far West!
Boss Li was speechless to Old Wang, and only whispered, "You can see clearly, these people are Feathered Serpent Cult. They are good at cursing and like to play with snakes. The key is that after worshiping gods, they will not recognize their relatives and will punish every penny spent. If you report them, they will be fined a few hundred Spirit Stone at most. You will not be able to sleep well in the future."
Old Wang took a closer look and saw the man in white robe who was attracted by his scolding and turned his head. His sinister eyes were as scary as a criminal snake. He immediately shrunk his eggs. He sincerely smiled at him along with Boss Li and handed him over. He also grabbed the surveillance puppet on the hearse and quickly deleted all the surveillance footage just now, regardless of whether he could see clearly.
After the men in white robes in front turned their heads and flew away together, Old Wang dared to spit below and said with great contempt:
"If you tell me, although True Person Su is wise and powerful, when it comes to introducing gods, True Person Su still does not consider it. Good gods are good. Like Peach Deer God, he is smiling all day long. As long as Spirit Stone The offerings are in place, and you don't even need to go to the temple to burn incense. He delivers the peaches to your door himself. The service is beyond praise. But like this Feathered Serpent God, his reputation has always been bad. Even the attendants are so incompetent. I don't know what kind of trouble he will cause in the future. True Person Su should be carefully selected."
Spitting everywhere! You are not qualified! Boss Li buried the complaints in his heart and only said:
"Look at it, you and I are only Qi Refining. We are too skilled to worry about national affairs. These people and gods are left to True Person Su to take care of. It's important for you and me to stay in a good mood and watch the show later. I heard that True Person Su created a theater troupe with puppets, and the opera sang..."
"Old Li, I don't like to hear what you say. What's wrong with our low cultivation level and limited level? Why can't we worry about the important affairs of the Immortal Kingdom? You know, the good days you and I have today are hard-won. Whoever wants to destroy the peace of the Immortal Kingdom is us. We are enemies, we don't have any other skills, we still need to have patriotic feelings, but if you sing opera, the opera troupe is really good. The bitter opera they sang made my Grand Elder cry when I think about it in the middle of the night!"
After a few more words, Gliding Spirit Car finally sneaked to the conference venue.
The main venue is located in Kaiyuan Grand Auditorium. This building was built by Su's Construction Group and completed on the 10th anniversary of the founding of Origin Opening. With its height of spiraling into the sky and reaching into the clouds, it can withstand the full attack of Fifth-Tier Great Power without falling. It is like spring all year round and has a comfortable level of hot and cold adjustment. It was determined to be the first fifth-level Spirit House built by Western Sea Cultivation World and was built by a living practitioner. It has become the preferred venue for the Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom to hold various festival celebrations and large-scale conferences over the years.
As soon as Boss Li got off the bus, he was in a hurry to part ways with Old Wang. Although his front row ticket was favourable, the people sitting in the front row were all privileged dogs with the same status as Old Wang. With Old Wang's bad mouth, if you hang out with him, who knows if he will be implicated and offend someone that Boss Li can't afford to offend.
As soon as he opened his legs, he saw Merfolk Maidservant with a cute face and chubby figure walking towards Old Wang enthusiastically.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, please come with me and take a seat. You can take the inner passage, but there is no need to queue up!"
Merfolk Maidservant's voice is soft and waxy, which is exactly the type that Boss Li likes. He falls in love with him as soon as he hears it, and he goes to hold his hand. But he is not bold enough to hold 's hand. Among Su's Group employees, even privileged dogs don't dare to mess with Merfolk Maidservant, holding the big fat hand of Old Wang, followed Merfolk Maidservant, and with the swaying of her hips as she walked, Boss Li's heart and soul were swayed to the horizon, and she could no longer think of anything else.
"This girl is really exciting!" Old Wang said with a knowing smile like a man's, winking at Lao Li.
Boss Li was so shocked by his words that he quickly covered his mouth and stared back at Merfolk Maidservant who was very angry but looked cuter and apologized again:
"Fellow Daoist Wang has had trouble with his practice recently. His mind is sometimes clear and sometimes confused. If there are any offensive words, please don't blame me!"
Merfolk Maidservant naturally didn't believe his lies, but he didn't go online. He just snorted softly from his nose, turned his head, and continued to twist and turn to lead the way. After all, they, the murloc clan, have since followed True Person Su, and all of them have joined Su's Group In the end, Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom did gain a status that she had never had in the past, but after all, she was still in the service industry, and there were often monks who talked a lot. As long as they didn't actually invade her, she could tolerate it. According to True Person Su, half of the salary she earned was the grievance fee.
Seeing that she didn't pursue the issue, Boss Li breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he could no longer appreciate the beautiful scenery. He could only be alert to Old Wang's actions at all times.
He was also frightened along the way, because Old Wang himself was too unqualified in speaking and could not stand other incompetent people. As a result, he Boss Li had to laugh more often than when he was working in his own restaurant.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Wang Daoyou is not talking about you, he is talking about me being fat and big-eared, selling dirty cotton and making dirty money!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll wipe up the phlegm that Fellow Daoist Wang spits out!"
"I'm offended, I'm offended, Wang Daoyou... forget it, he's out of his mind!"
"Forgive me, he is brainless!"
"Don't argue with fools!"
"He is the youngest son of the third elder!"
