Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Tea Party Begins
The two walked around the streets of Yancheng and enjoyed the night view of Yancheng. Everywhere is brightly lit, and the crowds on the streets are bustling and lively.
This kind of scene is not like a city of cultivation, but more like life in the mortal world, which may also be a major feature of Yancheng!
The two of them came to a place filled with smoke and shimmering divine light. The place was shrouded in smoke, but there was a divine light circulating in it.
The unprecepted monk asked the person next to him, "Amitabha, do you know what kind of place this is? Why is it shrouded in smoke, but there is divine light emitting from it? There are so many people coming in and out, it's so lively!"
The person who was pulled and asked by the unpredicated monk was a chubby middle-aged man, who looked at the unpredicated monk obscenely and said, "I didn't expect that monks are not exempt from vulgarity these days!
Leaving the unprecepted monk there to chant Amitabha, Zhang Tianhao wanted to laugh but couldn't, so he could only hold back.
Zhang Tianhao walked up to the unprecepted monk and said, "Amitabha, fellow Daoist, let's break into this Longtan Tiger's Den today!"
The unprecepted monk responded: "Amitabha, what the Taoist friend said is that we are going to subdue demons and subdue demons today. With that, the two walked towards the smoke.
After the two of them came in, they both felt like they had entered a fairyland, and at a glance, they could see the divine ship in the sky, the divine light was shining, and the sound of fairy music was endless.
In front of it is a hazy lake, and in mid-air are floating ships. In the middle of these divine ships is a golden divine ship the size of a small island, as if this golden divine ship is honored.
The sacred ship and the divine ship were connected by a wooden bridge made of sacred wood, and one by one the monks took off into the air and rushed to the sacred ship, and many monks left from the divine ship with smiles on their faces.
Zhang Tianhao and the unprecepted monk flew towards the divine ship, which was a head ship, and all those who entered here had to enter from here.
Zhang Tianhao looked at a gold-inlaid door plaque with the three big characters of Jinxiufang, and the three big characters of Jinxiufang faintly revealed the breath of debut, which was a kind of detachment from the red dust and integrated into the red dust.
Hearing the unprecepted monk calling him, Zhang Tianhao gathered his mind and entered the Splendid Workshop. The whole hall is carved with dragons and phoenixes, and it is magnificent. As soon as they stepped into the gate, two young young monks dressed in brocade clothes came to receive Zhang Tianhao and the two of them, and asked, "Which garden do the two masters want to go to?"
The unprecepted monk said, "Of course it's the best one!"
"Are the two masters also here to attend the tea party hosted by the young master?
"Yes, we heard that the young master of the Splendid Workshop presided over a tea party tonight, so we came here. However, we have just arrived in Yancheng and have not received an invitation. Zhang Tianhao said with a move in his eyes.
The two girls glanced at each other and said to Zhang Tianhao: "The two masters are like this, you need an invitation to enter the tea party." However, the young master also instructed that if there are no young talents who have received an invitation and want to participate in the tea party, they only need to make up an invitation. It takes 100 catties of spirit crystals per person to make up an invitation, and the two masters please come with us to make up the invitation. ”
"Good. Zhang Tianhao responded. Then I followed the two girls to make up the invitation, but after getting the invitation, it hurt for a while. I thought that this was really a gold cave, and they were asked for a hundred spirit crystals for a palm invitation, and the two of them spent two hundred spirit crystals before they saw anything.
By now, Zhang Tianhao's spirit crystals have run out. I only paid for ten days in Feixian Building, but it was enough. Because the Genius List Contest is still ten days away, it will definitely be a battle in the sky, and it is estimated that he will not return to Feixian Tower.
The two followed the two girls through the divine ships and finally came to the largest golden divine ship in the middle, only to find that it was more than ten times larger than the one they had seen below before.
It was resplendent and the divine light flowed, like a huge shrine. The door plaque is written with three big characters of Jinxinyuan, which also contains Taoist rhyme.
The two girls brought them here and introduced them and left, for they were all young monks with great talents. The people here either have a big background or have great skills, otherwise they would not have received an invitation from the young master of Jinxiufang to participate in the tea party.
Therefore, in order not to disturb these people, and for the smooth progress of the tea party, they are not allowed to enter Jinxinyuan, and if there are guests, they can only be led outside the door of Jinxinyuan.
The unprecepted monk complained: "These people are really hypocritical, and they are engaged in these useless things. ”
complained and complained, and the two still pushed open the door and walked into the Jinxin Garden. After coming in, I found that there are pavilions, rockeries and flowing water.
When the two entered, they were greeted by a special maid who led them into a courtyard.
The courtyard was full of people, and the maids brought them here and said sorry and left. It means that you came too late, there are too many people here, and you have to find a place on your own.
Zhang Tianhao saw that it was really crowded with people, but there was no noise. The two squeezed in front of the crowd only to find that there was a small lake inside, with a promenade by the lake and a pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Most of the people are in the corridor, and only a few people sit in the pavilion, where they drink tea and talk about it.
The people in the pavilion sat on either side, and in the middle sat a woman dressed in white and wearing a white veil. Behind the woman sat two young girls, who were supposed to be her maids.
Zhang Tianhao thought to himself that this should be the young master of the Splendid Workshop, it looked quite mysterious, and with his soul power, he couldn't even see the cultivation realm of this young master.
He turned his head and was about to talk to the unpredicated monk, but he didn't expect the unpredicated monk to disappear. I only heard the voice of the unprecepted monk say: "Brother Hao, I have no interest in this tea party, so I will leave first." ”
Zhang Tianhao shook his head helplessly, he instantly understood what the unprecepted monk was doing when he heard this. It suddenly occurred to me in my heart that the purpose of the unprecepted monk coming to the Shenyang Empire this time was probably not simply to participate in the genius list competition, knowing that with the strength of the unpredicated monk, nothing would happen, so I didn't care about him anymore.
At this time, the young master of the splendid workshop spoke: "Fellow Daoists, the little girl Hua Yuxian. came from afar, presumably most of them came to participate in the genius list competition ten days later. The little girl is not talented, and she organized this tea party before the genius list competition, and thanked all Taoist friends for their appreciation. Hearing this, everyone echoed and thanked the young master for his invitation.
Hua Yuxian continued: "Because the little lady is not well entertained, and this pavilion is small, so you can't let all the Taoist friends sit here. Therefore, if you think of the Taoist friends who come from this pavilion, as long as you can compete with any one in the pavilion and get everyone's approval, you can sit here. This is also the main purpose of this tea party, which is to promote the communication between Taoist friends, so that everyone can gain something. As soon as these words came out, the people in the courtyard suddenly became noisy.
Everyone knows that the tea party between monks is naturally different from the tea party between mortals, and everyone gets together to try it out and speak by strength.
Zhang Tianhao also understood that the people in the pavilion were all the people who received the invitation. The people standing in the hallway are not invited, or they are not eligible to receive invitations, but there is still a chance to sit in the gazebo, and that is to defeat the people in the gazebo.
But the people who can receive the invitations are not ordinary people, and it is not easy to defeat them. And the tea that the people standing in the corridor drink is ordinary spiritual tea, and there is no place to sit.
"It's really realistic! But it's normal, the monk world is supposed to speak with strength!" Zhang Tianhao said with emotion.
Sure enough, at this time, Hua Yuxian said again: "The little girl here is not as good as the Divine Palace Immortal Courtyard of your Taoist friends, so she can only take out the soul tea that is picked once in a thousand years to entertain your Taoist friends." As soon as these words came out, everyone present was surprised: "Could it be the Nine Ghost Soul Tea that can nourish the soul and help people realize the Tao?
Hua Yuxian smiled and said, "The little woman's soul tea is naturally not the legendary Nine Ghost Soul Tea that can help people become holy, but it is just a branch of it that is reproduced. Although it is not as anti-heaven as the Nine Ghost Soul Tea, it is also very beneficial to the human soul. ”
"I see, it's really extraordinary that the flower fairy can take out a thousand-year-old soul tea to entertain us!" someone said.
"But the soul tea is picked once in a thousand years, and there is not much each time. Therefore, only people in the gazebo can drink it. The first part of this tea party is that the Taoist friends outside the pavilion challenge the Taoist friends in the pavilion, and after the end, the Taoist friends in the pavilion can challenge each other. Hua Yuxian said again.
Speaking of which, although the people in the pavilion are very confident, some people are inevitably a little worried. Fear of being defeated, that would be too humiliating.
Hua Yuxian seemed to know what these people were thinking, and said to the people in the pavilion: "Don't worry, fellow Daoists, everyone in the pavilion can drink soul tea now, and I hope you will forgive me for any inconsiderateness." ”
After saying that, he commanded the maid behind him. After a while, a handmaid brought the brewed soul tea to the table in front of the people in the pavilion. And the people in the corridor are still drinking ordinary spiritual tea, and after Zhang Tianhao drank it, he felt that although it was also a good tea, it was useless for cultivation.
After a cup of tea, Hua Yuxian spoke again: "The challenge starts now, I don't know which Taoist friend will come first." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a big man rushed towards the pavilion with a big axe. A young man sitting at the end of the pavilion immediately slashed at the big man holding a big axe, and the big man screamed and was directly slashed into the lake with a knife, and even the lake water was split.
The big man rushed out of the lake, glanced at his cracked chest and said to the young man: "I lost, alas, I have disgraced the Qingyang Sect." Then he turned and left, and as he was leaving, a maid brought a healing elixir.
The young man with the long knife in his hand said to the people in the corridor: "Who else wants to drink soul tea, hurry up, I don't have much patience with this son!" Everyone in the corridor was furious when they heard this, but when they saw that the young man with the long knife had defeated the big man with one sword, they all felt his strong strength.
That big man also has the strength of the Nine Heavens of the True Yang Realm, but he didn't even block the sword of the young man, the key is that this young man is also the realm of the Nine Heavens of the True Yang Realm. Although everyone didn't like this young man's lofty appearance, they had to admire his combat strength.
Then another eighteen or nineteen-year-old man stepped forward to challenge and said to the young man: "I am Li Changfeng of Xuantianmen, leave your name." The young man with the long knife said coldly, "The weak are not qualified to know my name. ”
Li Changfeng said angrily: "You, you dare to look down on me, I want you to see what it means to sit in a well and watch the sky!" After finishing speaking, Li Changfeng waved the long sword in his hand, turning into a sword qi full of sky and stabbing at the young man with the long knife.
The young man saw the sword qi in the sky coming towards him, and said, "This is a little interesting, not as weak as the one before. Then he slashed out the sky-full sword qi that slashed at Li Changfeng.
The sound of "crackling" sounded, and the energy generated by the sword qi and sword shadow confrontation lifted the lake into the air, splashing everywhere.
The two then had swords intersect and fight together. After a cup of tea, the young man with a long knife slashed out a huge sword qi and slashed at Li Changfeng. Li Changfeng's long sword was cut off, and the person was also swept away by the huge energy, and the sword qi entered the body, causing him to suffer heavy injuries and constantly spurt blood.
A maid sent a healing pill, and Li Changfeng temporarily stopped the wound after taking it. Then he said I lost and left.
The young man with the long knife stood in mid-air, holding his long knife and looking coldly at the people in the corridor.
Everyone was shocked by the strength of the young man with the long sword, this is still the one sitting at the end, if the person sitting in front does not know what kind of terrifying strength he has.
Soon after, someone stepped forward to challenge, but it was still not the opponent of the young man with a long knife.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy swung a sledgehammer at the young man with a long knife, and the young man with a long knife was almost vomiting blood from the hammer. At this time, a vicious look flashed in his eyes, and he had been fighting this young man with a sledgehammer for an hour.
This made him lose face, and a few people sitting in the back of the pavilion said to him: "Okay, no, come down quickly, I'll come." ”
When the young man with the long knife heard this, he directly spurted out a mouthful of blood on the long knife, and the long knife immediately turned blood red, bursting out with a terrifying aura.
The young man with the long knife quickly swung the long knife and slashed at the young man with the big hammer, the young man was taken by this terrifying evil qi, and he couldn't resist the knife shadow that was slashing at him all over the sky, and the knife qi directly split his chest, and fell into the lake for a long time, and the blood stained the lake around him.
Then a maid scooped him up, brought an elixir to heal his wounds, and then left with the help of the maid.
The young man with the long knife wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the people in the corridor with a disdainful smile again.
