Chapter 958: Sitting in the corner of the wall and being left out in the cold
The passages in the Thousand Machines Fort are intricate, not only intertwined on the plane, but also in the upper and lower spaces.
This structure, similar to that of a cotton thread ball, made Zheng Qiu feel extremely big, and he couldn't remember the route he had traveled at all.
The strange thing is that everywhere you walk is silent, and you can't see any figures, as if the entire people of the Thousand Wonder Silver Castle have disappeared.
After about four incense sticks, Situ Fengxiu led everyone back to a spacious passage.
After a while, a cultivator came running in front of him, who was the junior disciple he had seen at the door of the passage before.
The junior brother ran to Situ Fengxiu, lowered his voice and said, "Senior brother, the castle master asked you to take Boss Zheng and them over, and everyone is waiting in the central hall." ”
Seeing Situ Fengxiu nodding, the junior brother added uneasily: "Senior brother, don't talk nonsense later, the crisis has been resolved!"
Hearing the words that the crisis was lifted, Situ Fengxiu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes flashed with a complicated look.
He finally knew why his junior brother's attitude was so strange before, and the crisis had been resolved, which proved that the monster had been killed.
I went to great lengths to invite Zheng Qiu here, but after all, I did useless work.
Since they didn't need Zheng Qiu's help, how would the castle lord and elders treat these visitors, and what should they do if they did something unflattering.
Situ Fengxiu felt very embarrassed, he knew that if something unpleasant happened later, then Zheng Qiu would definitely blame himself, thinking that he had lied before.
"Senior brother, senior brother?"
The junior brother asked twice, and Situ Fengxiu woke up from his thoughts.
Situ Fengxiu knew that he had no way to get out, so he had to bite the bullet and lead Zheng Qiu and the others: "Boss Zheng, the castle lord and the elders are waiting in the central hall, and I will take you over." ”
Zheng Qiu noticed the change in Situ Fengxiu's expression, and he was already prepared in his heart, but he still smiled and didn't say anything.
They followed the passage to the end, then up the circular slope, and finally came to a steel wall carved in relief.
The younger brother pressed the relief on the wall, and with the sound of clicking parts, the entire metal wall rose upward.
Only then did Zheng Qiu know that it was not a wall, but a gate two feet and two feet wide.
The door opened, and everyone could see the scene inside the central hall at a glance. The hall of the temple is full of tables, and the tables are piled up with flowers, delicacies, and wines.
The cultivators of the Thousand Wonder Silver Castle sat at the table, holding their cups and laughing and drinking, the air filled with the smell of celebration.
It turned out that the people of Qianqi Silver Castle were all nesting here, no wonder there was not a single ghost outside.
Seeing these people so happy and happy, Gu Ya muttered on the side: "These fools shouldn't win." ”
Zheng Qiu sighed softly, and then echoed: "It seems that we will run for nothing." ”
At this time, the lord of the castle who was sitting on the upper seat had already seen Zheng Qiu and the others, so he pretended to exchange a few words with the elders on the side seats.
One of the puppet sect elders stood up and walked slowly in front of Zheng Qiu and the others, smiling and nodding.
The first sentence he said was not to Zheng Qiu, but to order Situ Fengxiu: "Fengxiu, this trip has worked hard for you, sit casually and celebrate well." ”
Situ Fengxiu's mind was full of question marks, celebrating, celebrating what?
He wanted to ask, but when he saw the elder's stern gaze, he immediately remembered the reminder of his junior brother just now.
"Thank you, Elder!"
Situ Fengxiu bowed, didn't ask too many questions, and walked quickly to the vacant seat to take a seat.
As soon as Situ Fengxiu left, the smiling expression on the face of the Qianqi Silver Fort elder in front of him instantly turned cold.
"Boss Zheng, you must be tired from coming from afar.
I'll take you to rest, there's still a seat here. ”
Before Zheng Qiu could speak, Gu Ya couldn't help it at first, and raised her hand to point at the old man's nose and was about to get angry.
Seeing this, Zheng Qiu immediately pressed Gu Ya's arm and blocked her behind him.
Then he replied quietly: "The child is not sensible, the seniors are not strange, where are we sitting?"
Hey, this Zheng Qiu is very easy to talk to, and he didn't get angry.
The elder wondered in his heart if Zheng Qiu was too young to have much experience and couldn't hear the ridicule in his words.
Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't think about it that much, just get things done.
So he took Zheng Qiu and the others to the corner of the main hall, where a wooden table with paint had been temporarily placed, and a bunch of old wooden benches with no backrests were placed on the side.
Gu Ya saw it from a distance and wanted to lose her temper again, but was blocked back by Zheng Qiu again.
She was very dissatisfied, and raised her hand to poke Zheng Qiu's thigh, and the cold air brought a stinging pain, which couldn't help but make Zheng Qiu gasp.
"Ancestor, please raise your noble hand and don't toss.
I'm not stupid, how can people not understand this attitude.
Let's bear with it, let Qianqi Silver Castle make a move first, and then there will be time to teach these guys a lesson. ”
Hearing these words, Gu Ya's impatient face suddenly softened a lot, and she snorted at Zheng Qiu and turned her head away.
Soon, the puppet sect elder took Zheng Qiu and the others to the lacquered wooden table, and said slowly: "Boss Zheng, you just sit here and rest, and I will ask the disciples to bring drinks and food." ”
Zheng Qiu bowed his hand: "Then thank you for your hospitality!"
Everyone sit down, you're welcome, Qianqi Silver Castle will definitely bring good things over. ”
There was a lot of dust on the old wooden bench, but fortunately there were no stains, everyone waved their hands to clean it, sat down and waited one by one.
The Puppet Sect Elder showed a strange smile, and immediately turned around and walked towards the banquet in the hall of the palace, and finally sat directly on the side seat.
During the whole process, he didn't instruct any disciples at all, let alone show that he wanted to entertain.
Of course, the others also saw the abnormality of the elders of Qianqi Silver Castle, Shao Wei frowned and muttered: "What's the matter with these people in Qianqi Silver Castle, they invited us all the way over, but they ignored us as air. ”
Kanchi observed for a moment and guessed in a low voice, "It is very likely that Qianqi Silver Castle has already defeated that monster, so it ignored us."
It is estimated that this banquet is also related to the victory over the monster. ”
Not long after Kan Chi finished speaking, the Lord of the Castle stood up with a glass and began to address the elders and disciples.
"Today is a special day, and this victory is a special victory.
For this victory, we have sacrificed a lot, and many heroes have been born.
First of all, let us raise a glass to the memory and gratitude of those who have made sacrifices, and it is their efforts that ......"
In the corner of the hall hall, Zheng Qiu heard the castle lord say these words, and licked his lips with a sneer.
"Kanchi, you really guessed right, Qianqi Silver Castle really relied on its own strength to get rid of that polluter.
They don't need us anymore, and their ability to cross the river and tear down the bridge is very good!"
