Chapter 81: Guest
On this day, they were invited by a handsome old man to his manor for the New Year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
They met when they were watching a Qinglou dancer dancing Hu Xuan dance, the dancer danced exquisitely, the appearance was beautiful, and the audience applauded after a dance, only Jun Changning and Xie Lanyong sat quietly, and their reactions were flat, and even the little girl with a tray to wrap her head was embarrassed to step forward.
Xie Lanyong's face was covered with the mask that Jun Changning had worn before, and he was so graceful that people didn't dare to look at him directly. Jun Changning beckoned to the little girl, put a gold dollar in the tray, and smiled at her.
The little girl's eyes were stunned, her cheeks were flushed, and Le Taotao was floating even when she walked.
When I walked out of the workshop like the stars holding the moon, I met a handsome old man who had just come out of the antique street.
If a normal person doesn't suspect that he has bad intentions, he will secretly muttered to himself if he is suffering from a nervous disorder, but Xie Lanyong's master and apprentice are not ordinary people, and they are not a little cramped and guarded by street conversations.
Jun Changning stood quietly next to listen to his master and this old man, from the gods in the mythological story to the history of the founding of the Damin Empire, from the living habits of various tribes in the north to the transportation cost of Jiangnan trade.
In the end, seeing that there were more and more onlookers, and if they didn't leave, they would cause a traffic accident, and under the reminder of the people who accompanied him, the old man clapped his palms together and invited them to his home as guests, and promised to make them feel at home.
Xie Lanyong couldn't see the expression on his face wearing a mask and only showing his chin, and nodded elegantly and reservedly: "It's an honor." β
This reaction is simply the same as when he asked Zen Peak, Jun Changning blinked his eyes, thoughtful.
The old man of Yan Kong is a senior local tyrant and a celebrity, living in the middle of a low mountain, covering an extremely wide area, the manor is a scene step by step, every angle can be painted, although the exquisite design is not as good as the atmosphere of the east hall of the sleepless moon on the Zen Peak, but it is the artificial carving to the extreme, Jun Changning politely praised the taste of the master.
The master was very happy, and felt that he had met a confidant, if it weren't for Xie Lanyong's cold sweep, the old man would have grabbed Jun Changning's hand and sighed to see each other, and talked about how much effort and energy he had spent to establish this manor.
The corners of the eyes of the attendants in the manor twitched, and their expressions were very ashamed, eager to sew their master's mouth shut, wouldn't such a cheap gesture scare away the guests?
Xie Lanyong was calm and calm from beginning to end, even if he couldn't see his face, his demeanor also poured everyone, Jun Changning was expressionless, and he was very proud in his heart.
The old man's surname is Ye, a rare surname, and it is also the top family of the Damin Empire, and it is said that he once married the royal family, and his status is very noble.
Jun Changning glanced at Shizun and was silent, is he still a relative of Shizun? No wonder people are so pleasant. Suddenly, he felt that he couldn't embarrass his master, and his words and deeds became solemn.
As the New Year approaches, the reception banquet is also very festive, of course, this kind of family with an ancient heritage, no matter how festive it is, it also carries the pride and nobility reserved to the bones.
This kind of banquet style is more polite than enjoyment, Jun Changning doesn't like it, she just stops with the master to raise her glass, greetings and dishes, and is bland from beginning to end. Now that she doesn't need to bother with human affection, she has no intention of forcing herself to pretend to be happy, even if the old man asks if the hospitality is not good, she only replies by nature.
Indifferent to the point of arrogance.
After the banquet, Xie Lanyong and the old man of the night talked under the candlelight, and Jun Changning was like a sculpture outside the magic object next to him, which caused the owner here to look at her curiously and amazemented.
In the middle of the night, after personally leading them to the residence, the old man said goodbye gracefully, brushed his sleeves away, his clothes were flying, and his demeanor was not at all like the obscenity of talking during the day.
Jun Changning was amazed.
Their residence is an independent small courtyard, rockery and flowing water, green trees are sparse, a few swans swim around in the water, and there is a pavilion in the undulating place, the layout is exquisite and exquisite, and it is very pleasing and warm.
The house was built uphill, in a trapezoidal shape, Jun Changning followed Xie Lanyong and walked in, as soon as he entered, he found that there was someone in the main room, not one, thinking that it was a servant, she naturally went to the empty side room, of course, the main room was left to the master to live.
Jun Changning thought that his filial piety was commendable, and he came to the room to take a casual look, and was not too surprised by the exquisite details and decorations everywhere, pushed open the retro-style screen window and looked out, and couldn't help but be stunned, took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to prepare to practice calligraphy, and hurriedly went out, looking at the person who was sitting alone in the courtyard in puzzlement.
"Master, why don't you go to restγγγγγγ" Her question was automatically silenced after accidentally spotting the scene in the main room.
Jun Changning looked at the master who was focusing on the flowing water under the rockery, and felt slightly embarrassed in his heart, standing there without knowing where to put his hands and feet, and he was cramped.
In the main room, under the dim yellow and ambiguous light, several stunning young men and girls in light gauze clothes knelt on the ground in a humble and prostrate posture.
It was taken by the host to entertain the most distinguished guests.
This was not an abrupt move, and it was even more commonplace for Xie Lanyong, but he had been away from the mortal world for too long, and he was temporarily shortened of breath by this kind of battle.
He looked at the girl's embarrassed appearance, a trace of embarrassment slipped over his face under the mask, and he was quiet for a while before he said softly: "It's not early, you go and rest first." β
"Uh, okay, okay." Jun Changning rushed into the house almost immediately, but when he closed the door, he hesitated for a moment, would the master be useful?
Before she could think of the thought that suddenly came to her, there was a few lines of footsteps in the courtyard that gradually faded away. Jun Changning stayed for a while, scratched his head unladylikely, came to the window, spread out the paper, and began to practice calligraphy.
It wasn't until Jun Changning's mind was completely immersed in the paper under the pen that the people in the main room breathed a sigh of relief, Xie Lanyong raised his hand to remove the mask, held it in his hand, and his mind gradually drifted away.
Forbidden Sea, the place where the original Zen Peak was asked was only a bare three white broken peaks.
Bai Jingtong rubbed his eyebrows, tired and helpless to look at the man in white who was sitting opposite with light chestnut eyes, only to feel that the light emitted by the golden stem green leaves embroidered on the white clothes was so dazzling, and he spoke weakly: "Yue Zhenren, we have made a demon oath, please tell your conditions." β
This battle to exterminate the demons did not lose a single soldier in the Xiuzhen Realm, but in the past two years, the so-called "Heavenly Punishment Operation" has almost wiped out the entire Xiuzhen Alliance, and the remaining people who are still alive are all trapped in the Tianluo Net Great Array, which also forced him, the commander of the alliance, to take the initiative to sue for peace.
I heard that the demon cultivator had taken the opportunity to capture the base camp of the various sects and factions that sent troops this time, and when he thought of this, Bai Jingtong didn't know whether to hate or respect Xie Lanyong, and his calculations were not leaky.
Yue Wumian smiled faintly, and there was a mockery in his light chestnut eyes, if it weren't for Chan Xi secretly helping, where would there be these so-called sects and sects at this time, I am afraid that they would have all become the territory of demon cultivation.
He looked at the rival in front of him, who was not a rival in love, and thought that he had coveted Mingxi, even if Mingxi was no longer there, he still felt that the other party was hateful everywhere: "Please help build another Zen Peak." I don't know why Chan Xi sent back such an inconsequential request, a cold and indifferent face flashed in his mind, it could only be related to that child.
The corners of Bai Jingtong's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to react.
Asking Zen Peak is made up of the white bones of thousands of monks who died in the last battle between humans and demons, how can it be said that it can be built, he would rather the other party ask for a few high-grade spiritual veins!
