Chapter 144: The Birthday Banquet
The birthday feast in the evening started on time. Since it is a birthday feast, the birthday gift is naturally an indispensable stage.
Fanghu Mountain, as the head of the Five Immortal Mountains, is naturally the first to bear the brunt at this time. Tao Yao sat down and was still very curious about the birthday ceremony, after all, this was the 10,000-year birthday of Ning Tian Immortal Venerable, and the birthday gifts prepared by the immortal mountains must be good and fine. They didn't hear the master mention it on the way here, so they were naturally very curious.
Qingfeng presented a birthday gift on behalf of Fanghu Mountain, "Fanghu Mountain congratulates Ning Tianxian Zun on his birthday!" Qingfeng has a two-handed tray, which is also covered with a red cloth, and the red cloth is lifted, and inside is a set of glass crystal cups. This is not an ordinary glass crystal exhibition lamp, this is refined by Bo Yan himself, and the wine will be warmed when poured into it, even if it is a cold day, you can drink it directly, and you don't have to warm the wine. Tao Yao and they have only heard that Shizun has such a set of treasures, and today is the first time they have seen it, the glass crystal cup is glowing with colorful streamers, and Tao Yao is envious, but they didn't expect that Boyan Xianzun gave this treasure to Ning Tian Xianzun.
Ning Tian Immortal Venerable naturally knew about this treasure, and arched his hand towards Bo Yan, "Thank you Bo Yan Immortal Venerable for cutting love!"
Bo Yan arched his hand and smiled back.
Next is the gift of several other immortal mountains.
Daiyu's Bitong Immortal Zun sent her the elixir Gu Yuan Dan, Gu Yuan Dan is different from Pei Yuan Dan, Pei Yuan Dan is to improve the cultivator's cultivation in a short period of time, to the detriment of himself, and Gu Yuan Dan is really to help improve the cultivation, although the improved cultivation is surprised by the different understandings of each person, but as long as it is improved, it will not fall.
What Yingzhou Bai Yi Xianzun sent was a unique book that recorded the divine soldiers. Ning Tian Immortal Venerable is warlike, and he is also very good at studying divine weapons, so Bai Yi Immortal Venerable's gift can be regarded as a good one.
And what Yuanqiao's Yunhai Immortal Venerable sent was a huge night pearl, as big as someone's head. Although the Night Pearl is very large, compared to the previous ones, the birthday gift of this Yunhai Immortal Venerable is much inferior. After all, this night pearl may be rare for ordinary people, but for them, it is not difficult to go to the sky and the earth, so this seems a little commonplace.
Ning Tian Immortal Venerable sat on the main seat, and it was rare that he did not have a cold face. He picked up the wine and coughed lightly a few times before he spoke, "Thank you to a few Immortal Venerables for coming from afar to participate in my birthday banquet, and thank you to the disciples of the Five Immortal Mountains who came to congratulate you on your birthday." Today's drinks are enough, so you don't have to stick to the details. ”
After sitting stiff for a long time, this sentence was the most beautiful thing Tao Yao had heard. She was already a greedy person, looking at the delicious food on the table, but she couldn't move her chopsticks, she could only swallow her saliva, and she could imagine how painful it was.
For a while, the chips were staggered, and the cups were changed, so happy.
Because their locations are arranged in the order of the Five Immortal Mountains, the distance between Taoyao and Yuqin is relatively far, so they can only look at each other from afar, and then eat their own.
During the dinner, Tao Yao noticed that Yelan, who had previously blocked them from going to the forbidden land, did not seem to have a good relationship with several senior brothers. The Eagle Falcon is ruthless and belligerent, and it is reasonable that the relationship with several senior brothers is not good, but it is not easy to understand that the seemingly gentle Night Blue is also in harmony with the senior brothers, is it because it is too gentle, but it does not match the aggressive aura of this Penglai Mountain? But this is also an internal matter of Penglai Mountain, Tao Yao just thought about it for a while and did not delve into it.
The dinner did not end until midnight, and before the banquet was dismissed, Ning Tian Immortal Venerable repeatedly instructed everyone to stay in Penglai Mountain for a few more days, and the disciples of Wuxian Mountain could take this opportunity to learn in private, and repeatedly stated that the point was over. It was rare for Ning Tian Immortal Venerable to be so enthusiastic to stay, and several Immortal Venerables naturally responded. What's more, learning from each other is also a way to promote everyone's cultivation.
At the end of the dinner, Yueyao was already drunk and dizzy, and was sent back by Haoyue. Tao Yao didn't drink much because she had something on her mind, and those things pressed on her heart, so she didn't feel sleepy, so she thought about taking advantage of the cold moonlight to go around Penglai Mountain to see if Penglai Mountain would have a different scenery at night.
At this time, most of them had already fallen asleep, including those disciples of Penglai Mountain. As a result, the road was exceptionally quiet, with only occasional insect chirping, which made people feel lonely and lonely.
Tao Yao walked and walked, and unconsciously came to the forbidden place that she had been to during the day. Strangely, she seemed to see Ning Tian Immortal Venerable, as well as the figure that flashed by during the day before. Tao Yao's heart couldn't help but start gossiping again.
"Could it be that the figure I saw before is Ning Tian Immortal Venerable's partner? The reason why this place has become a forbidden place is to facilitate Ning Tian Immortal Venerable's golden house to hide his partner? But having a partner is not a shameful thing, why hide it? Bai Yi Immortal Venerable and tourmaline did not deliberately hide it, this seems to be a little too unreasonable. Could it be because Ning Tian Immortal Venerable has always had that cold face, afraid that the matter of immortals will affect his majestic image in front of his disciples?"
"Tao Yao, what are you doing?" suddenly a hand put on Tao Yao's shoulder.
Tao Yao was not lightly affected by the sudden voice, and when she turned around and saw the person coming, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Senior Brother Qingfeng turned out to be you!" Tao Yao couldn't help but mourn for herself in her heart, she had been unfavorable recently, and she was always easily frightened.
"What's wrong with you? I've called you several times in this sneaky place. ”
Hearing Qingfeng's question, Tao Yao discovered the secret with a look on her face, and with an expression that she couldn't wait to share with others, she leaned close to Qingfeng's ear, "Let me tell you, I just saw Ning Tian Immortal Venerable." He was in the middle of the forest with a woman. He gestured to the inside of the forbidden ground.
The two of them are rarely so close, Qingfeng was a little uneasy for a while, and the tip of his nose was the fragrance of flowers on Taoyao's body, which was light and light, but it tugged at his heartstrings. So much so that he didn't listen to what Tao Yao said.
"Senior Brother Qingfeng, why don't you speak?" Tao Yao saw that his words were not answered, and touched Qingfeng with his arm.
Qingfeng came back to his senses, "What did you just say?"
"I said, I saw Ning Tian Immortal Venerable and a woman in the middle of the forest, behaving tightly, do you think it could be his partner?" Tao Yao repeated again, not noticing Qingfeng's gaffe at all.
Qingfeng looked up and looked at the pitch black in the distance, nothing but the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, "Are you sure you read that right?"
"How could you be mistaken!" Tao Yao pointed to a place in the distance.
"Well, but that doesn't mean anything, even if Ning Tian Immortal Venerable has any partner, it's understandable. Qingfeng didn't dwell too much on the fact that Tao Yao really saw it.
"However, why did you say that Ning Tian Immortal Venerable was sneaking around? This is not something unseemly. ”
"It's not sneaky, maybe I just don't want to be bothered by people. Qingfeng was made to cry and laugh by the things that Tao Yao made up in his head.
"Oh......" Tao Yao still felt a little strange, she always felt that the woman's figure was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember, she thought that if she got closer, she might be able to remember. "Senior brother, let's go over and have a look?"
Qingfeng patted Tao Yao's head, "What are you thinking about this little head? Even if you are curious, you have to restrain yourself, this is Penglai Mountain, not Fanghu Mountain." Ning Tian Immortal Venerable is not a Bo Yan Master, but he will not get used to you. Do you think that with your and my cultivation, you can follow the past without being discovered? Since Ning Tian Immortal Venerable intends to conceal it, do you think that if you break through his secret, he will make you feel better. In my opinion, if he gets angry, he will not show mercy to your subordinates for the sake of his master's face. If you really don't want your little head, I won't stop you, just go, I'll collect your body when the time comes. ”
Sure enough, Tao Yao listened to what Qingfeng said, "Then I still won't go." Although she was indeed curious, her own life was important.
"Hmm!" Qingfeng smiled triumphantly, he knew that blindly blocking would only make Tao Yao's curiosity stronger, so it was better to retreat like this. In fact, if it was someone else's business, Qingfeng would definitely satisfy Tao Yao's curiosity first, but this Ning Tian Immortal Venerable had always been ruthless, and he would still give priority to Tao Yao's safety.
"By the way, Senior Brother Qingfeng, why did you come here?" Tao Yao then remembered this question.
"Oh, I couldn't sleep and went out for a walk, and I just happened to see you. Besides, I didn't see whether Ning Tian Immortal Venerable was secretly hiding the immortals, but I saw you looking like a thief secretly. Qingfeng didn't say it, he actually came over because he saw Tao Yao walking here alone and couldn't rest assured. Before Tao Yao really let go of Mo Li, he didn't want his feelings to put too much pressure on Tao Yao, this kind of distance was just right, and it could appear in time when she needed it, and it wouldn't be a problem for her. In fact, in love, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to be too gentlemanly, and that kind of unenthusiastic attitude can often only stay at a distance that is not far away.
"Why? Tao Yao was a little weak-hearted, because Fang Cai did look like a thief. "That's okay, let's go back together!" Because he turned around and encountered the matter of Ning Tian Xianzun again, Tao Yao's mood was much better, thinking that the time was not too early, so he wanted to go back and rest earlier. There will be a ring tomorrow, so that the people of Wuxian Mountain can compete. Although, Tao Yao is not keen on competitions, but he still has the desire to watch the excitement, not to mention, I don't know if there will be someone who wants to compete with him, and he can't fight when the time comes. Surrendering without a fight is more embarrassing than losing the competition.
"Good!"
The two walked side by side, stepping on the cold moonlight, like a slowly unfolding landscape painting. It's just that no matter how beautiful the scenery is, there will eventually be a day when it will wither, and people who are already on different paths will eventually go in different directions.
