Cheng Li has always believed that eating is a very sacred thing and must be taken very seriously. No distractions, no interruptions. It was born out of his childhood and teenage years, wandering in the wilderness.

In those days, "hunger" was the norm of life. On the contrary, "fullness" is a very rare thing. If he is lucky enough to have this kind of experience, it will definitely be enough for him to miss the whole year.

However, after returning to the red dust. Cheng Li's seriousness towards food has made him an outlier in the eyes of others.

In the midst of the red dust, food is not hard to obtain. Therefore, the vast majority of people do not cherish food too much.

That's the case right now. The "Fox's Nest" – that is, Hu Yuji's luxurious sea ship – is on the first floor of the cabin, in this spacious grand ballroom. Although on every table, there are delicious food and wine. But there is hardly even one person who really uses chopsticks to concentrate on eating. Instead, they stared at each other, and the atmosphere seemed both awkward and weird.

In this atmosphere, Cheng Li, who still lowered his head and concentrated on eating, stood out from the crowd and attracted people's attention.

Inside the banquet hall, the tables are large and small. Next to the largest table of eight immortals, a total of ten strange people sat in total. These men were all in jute shirts, with many ears of bast shoes, huge gold rings hanging from their ears, and their hair was scattered like straw over their shoulders. His face was like a dead man, and he was expressionless.

The ten eccentrics, all sitting there with gloomy faces, neither ate nor drank. Just stared at the rest of the guests. Looking at their posture, it was as if one of them was counted as one, and all of them owed them millions of taels of silver and didn't pay them back, which was extremely uncomfortable. The awkward atmosphere in the banquet hall, eight or nine times out of ten, was deliberately created by them.

This group of people is not only dressed strangely, but also psychologically weird. It seems that when others are uncomfortable, they can be comfortable. But if someone else is comfortable, then it's their turn to be uncomfortable.

Therefore, when they saw Cheng Li always bowing his head to eat as if no one was around, treating them as nothing, this group of weirdos quickly couldn't sit still. One of the weirdos snorted coldly, suddenly waved his hand, took off the gold earring he tied to his left ear, and shot at Cheng Li.

The wild beasts of the wilderness are not allowed to be disturbed while eating. Failure to do so will be considered the most serious provocation. At the moment of lightning, Cheng Li's face sank, and there was anger in his eyes. Although the right hand holding the chopsticks did not move, the left hand reached to his waist and held the pistol in the holster.

At the same time, Shui Long Yin, who was sitting next to him, suddenly reached out and gently pressed Cheng Li's shoulder, and shook his head slightly, signaling him not to rush to do it. Cheng Li's movements slowed down slightly for a moment as a result.

A moment later, another Eight Immortals table on the east side also shot out a snow-bright light like a match at the same time. The light came first, impartially, and happened to collide with the gold earrings in mid-air, and there was a loud sound of "dang~". Then they landed separately. The white light appeared in its original form, and it turned out to be a single knife with a thick back and a thin blade.

However, although the gold earrings were volleyed and fell by a single knife, the offensive was endless. But seeing the blue light flashing, he quickly crawled out of the earrings, meandered on the ground, and rushed towards Cheng Li. But before he could swim a few steps away, "Grab ~" sounded softly, and he was nailed by another black light, and he couldn't swim anymore.

Looking at it intently, the blue light was neither gold nor iron, nor was it a hidden weapon, but a turquoise viper. As for the black light nailed to the poisonous snake, it is a thorn that grows from an unknown plant. Although it is wooden, the surface exudes a faint black light, and the hardness seems to be no less than gold and iron.

Cheng Li has always believed in the principle of "the grace of a drop of water, the spring reciprocates". At the same time, it also unswervingly pursues the principle of "tooth for tooth, eye for eye". He immediately raised his head and looked deeply at the Eight Immortals Table on the east side and the direction from which the black light came from.

On the table of the Eight Immortals, there were also many people sitting. At a glance, I could count nine people. These nine people are all dressed in green cloth and arrows, with a cloth cloth covering their heads, fish scale sprinkling shoes on their feet, and leggings tied to catch up with a thousand waves. Behind them were large knives with red silk tied to the hilt.

As for the place where the black light shot out on the other side, there were only two people. but a man and a woman.

Both of them are about 30 years old. The man's face is simple, and he is dressed in black, which looks quite majestic. The woman is quite beautiful, wearing a white dress and a gentle temperament.

Both of them carried long swords at their waists, and the scabbards were also divided into black and white. Whether it is dress or temperament, it can be said that it is a beautiful person made in heaven.

Shui Long Yin lowered his voice and explained to Cheng Li: "Those weirdos wearing gold earrings are from the Southwest Miao Gang. The members of the gang are all Miao people. These Miao people are quirky and like to play with disgusting things like poisonous snakes, toads, and centipedes. At the same time, he is narrow-minded, and often kills people when he disagrees. The one who threw the gold at you is the helper. ”

Cheng Li nodded and asked, "What is the origin of the other two groups of people?"

The water dragon groaned: "Those nine swordsmen all came out of the 'One Knife Village' in Taihang Mountain. Although this group of people robbed the house, they claimed to be good men on the green forest road, and when they saw the unevenness of the road, they did not do less, but they could be regarded as a gang of thieves. The one who helped you just now was Zhao Quan, the owner of the village. ”

After a pause, Shui Longyin continued: "That thorn is a special plant on Changbai Mountain. The Changbai Sword Sect used it as a hidden weapon. This man and woman are both masters of the Changbai Sword Sect. The male is called Mozhu, and the female is called Baimei. They are a well-known loving couple in martial arts. It is known as the plum bamboo double sword. ”

Cheng Li and Shui Longyin were talking in a low voice here, and the Miao Family Gang and Yidaozhai were not idle. Seeing that the big knife had shot down the golden ring, those strange people were furious, and they stood up one after another, pointing at the people in the village and scolding.

As Miao people, they originally spoke with a very strong accent. In addition, he speaks quickly, and occasionally mixes some Miao native language. Of the ten sentences, at least eight and a half sentences are not understood by others.

Although I can't understand it, just looking at their demeanor, there is no doubt that in this curse, it must be as ugly as it sounds. How could the people of Yidaozhai be willing to suffer? At that moment, they also stood up, pointed at the noses of these Miao people, and also scolded bitterly.

The Jinxi native dialect spoken by everyone in Yidaozhai is also accented, and it is also difficult for others to understand. Suddenly, the two sides flew foul language, and the local dialect was soaring, and they spoke to each other completely. The smell in the air is getting stronger and stronger. It seems that he is going to fight at any time.
