Chapter 10: Enthronement Ceremony
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This day is June 26, the day of the enthronement ceremony of the palace master of the Demon Palace. All the forces of the rivers and lakes attended the ceremony and sat in the front hall of the Demon Palace.
At that time, Zhan Duxiao burned incense and worshiped his ancestors in front of everyone, completed the succession ceremony, and then raised his glass to everyone present and said:
"I have to work for all the seniors and friends to watch the ceremony, and I am grateful for the evening night, and I hope you will have a special banquet all day long, entertaining the guests, and I hope you will return happy. ”
"The palace master is polite. Everyone drank a glass of wine or tea, and the guests and hosts were happy. The one-day feast began.
~~~
During the banquet, the good relationship came together to tell each other goodbye, and you came and went. If the relationship is not good, there are also words and cold eyes. But because he didn't want to save the face of the Demon Palace, the scene was still generally calm, until this peace was broken by one person:
"The younger generation Hengguo Ni Shengxiu is new to the rivers and lakes, and he still doesn't understand many things. For example, the palace master of the Demon Palace did not introduce everyone present, and the juniors did not understand it. In my opinion, it is a great honor to meet the most prestigious seniors and the younger generation of leaders from all walks of life. I do not belong to any sect, and I would like to respect you in my own capacity. In this way, how many sects are there here, and how many cups are there to drink, I don't know what you think?"
"Good!" immediately someone coaxed.
"yes, we want to know who you are. ”
"Brother Ni is so courageous. ”
"Brother Zhe, what is his idea?" Chan'er recognized Ni Shengxiu and hurriedly asked.
"My identity hasn't been revealed yet, and he's a little out of breath. It's a shame that he still has the patience to go around such a big circle. He said with a faint smile on his lips.
"Didn't you restrain him that day?"
"We ordered those people's acupoints and brought them back to my father to dispose of, and my father asked Uncle Chi to throw them out of the Hidden Mist Forest, and when their acupoints were unlocked, he let them leave on their own. ”
~~~
"So, let's start the toast from this side in order. Ni Shengxiu continued, walked to the first table in the east, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "The first temple in the world, Ci'an Temple, located in Hengguo, is no stranger to everyone. This must be the junior brother of the abbot Master Yibei, the 'Medical Immortal' Master Yishen? The younger generation has admired you for a long time. ”
Yi Shen is about sixty years old, and his appearance is inconspicuous, but he is the best person in Ci'an Temple, and he is famous all over the world for his medical skills, and is known as "medical fairy".
"Ni Shaoxia is only eighteen years old, and his reputation is already in the rivers and lakes, which is not simple. The old man drank this cup with tea instead of wine. Yi Shen said as he picked up the teacup.
"Master, can you introduce who ......these two little masters are?" Ni Shengxiu turned the empty cup upside down, signaling that there was no wine left, and then looked at the two young monks beside Yi Shen and asked.
"This is the disciple of the abbot's senior brother, and next to him is the disciple of Lao Gu. ”
"The little monk is polite. The two said in unison.
Ni Shengxiu took a slight look at Praruo and Youran, both of them were around twenty years old, and Praruo seemed to be older than Youran. The more he looked at it, he was leisurely and humble and polite, while Prajna had a kind of indifferent bearing that was beyond the world, and Ni Shengxiu hurriedly folded his hands and bowed.
~~~
"This table is from the Moge Pavilion located in Yi Country. Since the previous cabinet master, Mu Qin, has risen again, and the Moge has been on the right path. The current cabinet master, Guan Zhou's predecessors, is currently recognized as the highest martial artist in the rivers and lakes. This brother should be Brother Guan Shu, the little pavilion master of Moge. ”
"It's Guan Shu down there. ”
Ni Shengxiu filled his wine glass according to the ceremony, and drank it all with Guan Shu.
There were two people on each side of Guan Shu, and they were the four entourages brought by Tang Yin's sixth brother from Moge. However, at this moment, Tang Yin and his sixth brother were nowhere to be seen.
When Ni Shengxiu and Guan Shu were drinking, Chan'er looked at the rut inquiringly, only to see that his eyes seemed to blink inadvertently, and a smile appeared on his lips. Helian Jialu, on the other hand, stared at Guan Shu in slight surprise.
~~~
Ni Shengxiu moved to the table next to him, looked at the people present for a moment, and said:
"These guys...... Although he has never seen it, he can guess a thing or two. That mysterious Shibuya in the eastern part of the Night Country, right?"
"You do have two hits. If you hadn't said in front of so many people that you didn't belong to any sect, I would have almost thought you were a 'stream' person. Dressed in green, her heart was straightforward, which made the surrounding atmosphere suddenly smart.
"The girl is overrated, I just know a little bit of the skin. As for the detailed identities of several people, I also ask the girl to explain my doubts. ”
Xian'er received a look from the man in white, and then said leisurely:
"His name is Monmoto, and he is the second valley master of Shibuya. Shibuya was founded by the valley owner and him. This is Sister Ningyan, the master of the three valleys of Shibuya. As for this ...... It is Nanaya Lord Tian Chiritsu. ”
"Girl, what about you?" said Ni Shengxiu.
"He's my maid. Tian Qianli interjected.
"Seventh brother. Meng Ben sighed in his heart, and the two of them didn't look at the occasion when they were arguing. So he reluctantly spoke, interrupting the war of words that was about to break out between the two, "He is our sister-in-law, Jun Xuan'er." ”
"Jun Xuan'er...... Could it be that the girl is a descendant of the Yuhu faction?"
"Hehe, I'm really more and more optimistic about you. I didn't expect that there are still people on this river and lake who remember the Yuhu faction. She smiled noncommittally.
The collapse of the once prosperous Rumor Lake Sect was caused by a holy decree of Emperor Tao of the Kingdom on the eve of four years ago, and the descendants of the Rumor Lake Sect not only did not have the prestige of the head of the house, but on the contrary, they were very likely to be included in the hunt list. Moreover, although there are few people with the surname of the Night Country Jun, it is not just the Junli family of the Yuhu Sect. Ni Shengxiu felt speechless and didn't ask any more.
~~~
"The predecessors of the Weiguo Tuoba have a long reputation, and a scimitar never leaves the body. Ni Shengxiu walked to the next table and stood still, bowed to Tuoba, and said, "The father of the predecessor studied under the rare Tianzong genius Que Lao, so he is also from the same door as the Zhan Palace Master of the Demon Palace. ”
"Not bad. Tuoba Xian lazily changed into a more comfortable position and said, "Besides these?"
"My predecessor had a daughter who was known as the 'Flower of the Prairie', probably the girl in front of me. Ni Shengxiu was amazed by Tuoba Yue in his heart, if it wasn't for Tuoba Dedication, he would have stepped forward to be a "beautiful woman".
However, there was one person who really stared at Tuoba Yue naked (separator) naked (separator) in front of Tuoba Xian. Ni Shengxiu secretly looked at that person, although he was sitting with the six entourages of the Tuoba family, the bearing he exuded was by no means that of ordinary entourage.
"Hey, shouldn't most men stare at women endlessly, why are you looking at me!" the man said suddenly.
"Well, this brother is ......" Ni Shengxiu's face turned pale, and he was about to have a seizure, but he remembered that the Tuoba family was not easy to offend, so he forced him to say casually.
"Ignore him. Tuoba Yue, who had never spoken, suddenly said coldly.
"Yue'er. Tuoba Xian frowned slightly, looked at Ni Shengxiu and explained, "He is the little girl's savior, Guo Ye." We happened to be staying in the same inn when we were leaving the country, so we came together. ”
"Who knows if it's a coincidence, you pick ......"
"Genius, Miss Yue, just say that you owe me a life, and you don't have to praise me like this? Guo Ye interrupted Tuoba Yue's words.
"Hmph. Tuoba Yue held back the anger in her heart and didn't speak again. Arguing with him is simply self-deprecating. And his father was also eccentric, looking at his hippie smiling face, he accommodated him. Is it because I owe him?
~~~
When Ni Shengxiu withdrew his gaze, his gaze pretended to drift over Tuoba Yue's face again. At this time, he suddenly envied Chu Bai, he didn't need to look at it to know that guy must be not far away, and he looked at Tuoba Yue's eyes without blinking. And he endured it again and again because of his scruples about his image.
But when he saw the person sitting at the next table, he immediately put away all his thoughts. He really didn't expect that these people would also come to the Demon Palace, and the next moment he seemed to have seen the scene of several people holding treasure maps in their hands.
"This table must be the five with the highest martial arts among the nine brothers of the Yuan family. The junior Ni Shengxiu has seen several seniors. Ni Shengxiu bowed to a few people very respectfully.
"What are the five highest martial arts, don't dare to be. But only five of our nine brothers are still alive. One of the people who was facing Ni Shengxiu said lightly.
"What the third brother said is right, we live in seclusion in the mountains of Yi Country all day long, and I heard that there is a grand event in the Demon Palace today, so let's take a look. What martial arts, what seniors...... These words sound awkward to me. A man next to the person who had just spoken spoke to himself.
"Dare to ask the names of several seniors ......"
"It's not that we have been in seclusion for too long, and today we can't even see a familiar face except for Yishen. But this kid is not small. Okay, I'll tell you about it, Sixth Master. The one on the far left said, "The one in the middle is my eldest brother Yuan Yiqiang." The two people who spoke just now are my third brother Yuan Sanxiang and my fifth brother Yuan Wuzhen. This is my ninth brother, Yuan Jiutian. ”
"Then you must be Yuan Liujie's senior. Ni Shengxiu said respectfully.
Yuan Yiqiang looks to be in his old age, Yuan Sanxiang, Yuan Wuzhen, and Yuan Liujie are also around sixty years old, and Yuan Jiutian ...... No matter how you look at it, you can't be more than thirty-five years old. It is indeed surprising to say that he is the younger brother of several people.
Yuan Jiutian just raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Yishen in the distance when Yuan Liujie mentioned Yishen, and then his eyes became confused again.
"Yes, yes, you have some knowledge. In this way, let's make a bet, if you can guess the origin of the three girls over there, the sixth master will teach you a style of swordsmanship. ”
"Thank you, senior!"
"Hey, don't be too busy thanking just yet. On the way here, the sixth master saw the girl in the middle repelling a disciple, but he couldn't see who she was learning from, so he was really curious. ”
The old man laughed. The little girl Qi Ying has never studied under others, but how can Ni Gongzi guess?"
When Ni Shengxiu heard the prestige, he was shocked. If Tuoba Yue is the most beautiful woman on the grassland, this Qi Ying is the most beautiful woman in the southern water town, and the two are also of the same age, for a while it is like a bright moon in the sky and a moon shadow in the water, it is difficult to distinguish between the high.
"Oh, girl, is it possible that your martial arts are self-taught?"
"How can Qi Ying have such skills, this martial arts are all passed down by my father. ”
"I don't know Ling Zun's surname?"
"My father passed away four years ago, and even the old man can't see the path of Qi Ying's martial arts, so everyone here must not know about my father. Besides, Qi Ying still has a family vendetta that has not been avenged, maybe the enemy is here, so please forgive the little girl for not being able to tell her. ”
In this case, the sixth master's curiosity disappeared. You and the sixth master are also fateful, you can speak if you encounter any difficulties in the future, the sixth master has always counted when he speaks. ”
"Thank you, old man. ”
~~~
"As we all know, there are two military divisions under the master Che Wolf Wu of the lonely country Juxu Village, and this one is Si Ze, the martial military division. In the next long worship of the daimyo. ”
"Ni Gongzi does know a lot about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and I am looking forward to what characters you will discover at the next few tables, hum. Si Ze sneered meaningfully, "I drank this cup." ”
"Please. Ni Shengxiu and Si Ze exchanged a drink, and then greeted two of them at the next table with a smile, "Big brother, Brother Chu." ”
"Hmm. ”
"This one is the eldest disciple of the head of the Taiwu Sect, Ding Shu's senior, and also my brother, Ni Xuyao. This is Chu Bai, the second disciple of Ding Rate's predecessor. ”
"I will help you avenge your revenge, why bother?" Ni Xuyao said to Ni Shengxiu in a low voice.
"Of course I believe that the eldest brother will help me take revenge, and you even brought the four brothers Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu Brothers. But I want to make Yinchen Xuan the public enemy of the whole rivers and lakes, if I don't do this, how can I know how many people are on our side?"
"I support your second brother's approach, don't you see the fire in Si Ze's eyes? I have long heard that they have a feud between Juxu Village and Yinchen Xuan, and now we have another helper. As long as I can grab the treasure map of Hidden Dust Xuan, I can be regarded as making up for it," Chu Bai said with some excitement......
"What's wrong with Brother Chu?"
"This ......"
"He lost the order. Ni Xuyao said with a cold face.
"Someone stole it from me. Chu Baiqiang argued.
Ni Shengxiu thought to himself, maybe it was the woman who was harassed by you who hired someone to steal your door order in retaliation in order to get angry. The color of the wine is really wrong, remember to remember.
~~~
"Brother Zhe, Juxu Village and Taiwumen don't mention it for the time being, what do you think of those people in the Yuan family?" asked Helian Jialu.
"I don't remember any friendships or festivals between the Demon Palace and their Yuan family. Since it has nothing to do with it, I'm afraid that I came here for the same purpose as everyone else. ”
"Then how can you be so calm?"
"With you and Chan'er, the county lords of the two countries, what am I afraid of?"
"You ......"
"I'm kidding you. Don't worry, Guan Shu will help me. ”
"When have you met him?"
"Today is the first time I've seen you. ”
"Then how does he know who you are and how can he help him!"
"If there is a person in this world who can stop the people of the Yuan family from embarrassment with us, who do you think it will be?"
“…… The Guan Zhou seniors of Moge?"
"Isn't that it. ”
"You mean, he's going to come over in person?"
Just look at Guan Shu's expression. ”
Helian Jialu frowned slightly and looked over, only to see Guan Shu smiling lightly, and staring at Ni Shengxiu who was wandering between the tables with a good expression. At this moment, Helian Jialu suddenly felt that Guan Shu was not annoying. Thinking of the scene where he shook off the petals of the locust flower for himself, she couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing Helian Jialu's smile and knowing that she was no longer worried, he exhaled secretly, but his expression became solemn.
"Brother ruts?" Chan'er put her hand over the rutted hand.
"How nice it would be if you were like her. But you always know what I'm thinking. Plugging smiled a little helplessly.
"Are you worried that when the old pavilion master Guan comes, the relationship between the Moge Pavilion and us will be exposed?"
"yes. Moge is the power that we have been hiding in the shadows, and with them, there is a possibility of surprising victory. I don't want to use it lightly. ”
"Silly brother, stop thinking about avenging my father and mother...... The power of Moge should be used where it should be used most. I want you to be safe more than revenge. ”
"I'm the one who bothered you. ”
"I wanted to come on my own. ”
"You......" Plug Ru looked at Chan'er's smiling eyes, and his heart was very warm. He said to himself in his heart that he would definitely protect this girl. Certain.
~~~
"These seven...... If Sheng Xiu is not mistaken, he should be the person who is located in the world's first dart game in the Night Country, the Zhaoxu Dart Game, right?"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. A young man in white replied.
"Little brother, which of you is the one in charge?" Ni Shengxiu asked casually.
"Presumptuous! Don't be rude to Xin Gongzi!" the six people around the white-clothed young man said sharply.
"Hey, who allowed you to meddle again!" the young man in white glared at a few people.
"Xin Gongzi forgives his sins. ”
"Aren't they too fierce for you? The young man in white said to Ni Shengxiu with a smile.
"He's such a beautiful man. Chan'er whispered to the block.
"Thank you, girl, for your appreciation. The young man in white suddenly turned his gaze to Chan'er, smiled and nodded.
"Ah......" Although the two tables are only a foot apart, his voice is already very small, he didn't expect to be heard by the young man in white, Chan'er suddenly felt embarrassed to do something wrong and be caught.
"It seems that he is not as simple as he seems, and his martial arts are far above yours. Plugging whispered in Chan'er's ear.
"My name is Xin Pupu, and I am sixteen years old this year...... "The young man in white introduced himself with a sunny smile on his face.
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. Although this young man is not short, and he is very good-looking between his eyebrows and eyes, he is obviously still a child, who would have thought that he would be the same age as today's protagonist - Zhan Duxiao, the palace master of the Demon Palace. I heard him go on to say:
"I don't want to scare you anymore, but godfather...... Ah, that is, Huang Geng, the owner of the Zhaoxu Dart Bureau, he said that he must let me say this...... So you're going to listen to it...... I'm the second game master of the Zhaoxu Dart Game. When my godfather is away, I am in charge of everything big and small. ”
After Xin Pupu said this, he breathed a sigh of relief exaggeratedly, and looked at the people around him with a smile.
Everyone was talking, and only those with slightly higher martial arts skills restrained their contempt for Xin Pupu.
"This little ghost is a good material for martial arts. It's a pity that we swore back then that we would only accept one more apprentice from Nanying. Yuan Liujie couldn't help but sigh.
"Sixth brother......" Yuan Yiqiang suddenly spoke, "Nanying is not your apprentice. ”
"Hehe, I'm just quick to talk. Yuan Liujie smiled wryly, and said to Yuan Jiutian again, "Ninth brother, you didn't say anything to me." ”
“…… I'm fine. Yuan Jiutian gently spit out these three words, and then fell silent again.
Before Yuan Yiqiang, Yuan Sanxiang and the other four had time to sigh, they were attracted by Ni Shengxiu's voice on the other side:
"We also met on a narrow road, aren't we?
It looks like the main event is finally about to be staged......
