Chapter 280: Master Banquet
When the sky was bright, Wu Zhidao and Zheng Qihuai had already made several phone calls in a row. They all ask me when I'll be there.
When can I arrive, even if I go now, I have to wait for Niu Da to pick me up. Although the east gate cannot catch up with the first-tier cities, it can be from the west of the city to the east of the city, and it takes three or four hours to walk. It's just dawn, and even if it's a taxi, there's not even a figure on the road, let alone a car.
After tossing and renting for half an hour, Niu Da drove me to the Metaphysical Society. Wu Zhidao and Zheng Qihuai had been standing at the gate for a long time, looking in the direction I came from.
"Two old brothers, you are tired!" As soon as I got out of the car, I quickly apologized.
Wu Zhidao smiled: "Oops! What are you tired of! It's good for you to come, I don't know if the Venerable Master's experience is ready? If you're not ready, I've got a master's experience here. ”
"Yes, yes! Brother, you don't know that in three hours, it will be eleven o'clock when the master's banquet begins, and we can't delay it! Brother, it's good that you're here! Zheng Qihuai also said happily.
"I was ready last night, Brother Anglao Zheng, this is His Holiness experience. Don't know what else to prepare? I asked.
"It's nothing, you're a true newcomer to the Metaphysical Society. There are no enemies, and I believe that no one will look for trouble. Let's go in first, there's still a lot to deal with. By the way, I collected nine test stones from all over the country, scold us to take a look, you know their nature. Wu Zhidao said with a smile.
I shook my head, knowing that Wu Zhidao was afraid that I would make a fool of myself, so I said so, but I still refused: "Don't look at it, in fact, the five elements of gold and wood." For the sake of nature, wind, rain, thunder and lightning are the way of heaven, I know what is going on, and I really don't worry much about success or failure. ”
Following Wu Zhidao and Zheng Qihuai, they walked into the hall while chatting. At this time, the hall of the Metaphysical Society had completely changed. In the middle, nine bluestone slabs are built into steps, and they are three or four meters high in turn. Around the high platform, there are items that represent the fire and earth of Kaneki.
There is a saying about this called Kowloon Dengke. The higher you step on the bluestone slab every week, the more limitless your future achievements will become. To put it simply, it's like a talent who has worked hard for ten years to finally wait for the title of the gold list. But after all the troubles, in the end, under the watchful eyes of everyone, only one test paper was missing.
The difference is that Xiucai is for high-ranking officials, while metaphysicians are for the way of heaven. For the approval and giving of the Word.
I generally understood some precautions during the conversation with Wu Zhidao and Zheng Qihuai, which opened my eyes.
One of the taboos is that the parties to the Master Banquet must be the first to arrive and wait quietly for those who come to the Master Banquet.
I really don't know what the specific reason is, but Wu Zhidao's explanation is that the master is the darling of the creation of heaven and earth, and the appearance of a master means that more people have nothing to gain on the way to cultivation. So the master must be grateful.
Time flies, and two hours have passed in the blink of an eye. Under the sunshine, the metaphysical society is like suddenly wearing a layer of gold. And the first wave of guests to the master banquet also began to appear
The first one to arrive was Gao Qiyun of the Kyoto Genshu Society. Naturally, he was followed by his apprentice Liu Tiansheng.
"Hahaha! It really didn't disappoint me! Brother Ni, you are cultivating faster than my imagination! Gao Qiyun said with a hahaha smile as soon as they met.
"Oops! People are still at the peak of the third grade for most of the year, and the Ni brothers are all five-grade masters, which makes people really jealous to death! Liu Tiansheng still looked full of sissy and said writhingly.
"Huh! Hehe, seeing the smile, it's just some coincidence. President Gao, willow chest, please. I said with a smile.
Later, it turned out to be the Jiang family in Shanxi. Jiang Zhenlian is still as arrogant as before, and at this time, she is indeed cautious to follow behind the old and the young. The old man's face was somewhat similar to Jiang Zhenlian's. In particular, the smiling eyebrows and eyes seem to be a bit domineering and cynical.
The young man was about thirty years old. At this time, his face was solemn, like a piece of cold ice in the wax moon, which made people feel a cold chill as soon as they got closer.
The Jiang family in Shanxi is a very alternative existence in the metaphysical world. In each of the five northwestern provinces, there is a supernatural person. Five provinces are five families in charge.
This is not the status and identity given by the official, but the inheritance of these families since ancient times. These families also belong to the big family in the local area. However, the statement is not prominent among ordinary people. This is also the fact that these families are usually very low-key, and they will only appear in a few circles.
"Yes, it's really a hero from ancient times." The old man nodded and smiled approvingly when he saw me.
Jiang Zhenlian made a grimace at me, and her eyebrows looked very happy.
"It's over, Jiang Lao, please face it." I said quickly.
"Hmmm! Not bad, not arrogant, not impatient, very good. Jiang Lao nodded in approval, with a smile in his eyes and an indescribable emotion, which gave me the feeling that it was as if the old father-in-law was looking up and down for the first time when he saw his son-in-law.
I was also surprised that I suddenly had such a parable. I already have Mao Xueying and Ning Xiang, and I really can't tolerate others anymore. Besides, for Jiang Zhenlian, I treat it more as a buddy. Maybe it's because Jiang Zhenlian was dressed as a woman disguised as a man when she first appeared!
To my surprise, the guests who appeared in the third wave were actually the Lu Liang Zhou family. It's really a narrow road.
Lu Liang Zhou's family carried two huge coffins. In a congratulatory crowd, it looks unusually dazzling. The people next to him also unconsciously kept a certain distance from these guys.
The Lu Liang Zhou family is definitely an alternative in the Metaphysical Society, they are good at raising and controlling corpses. Carrying a coffin is their daily routine. But the coffin they brought with them today was a coffin made of pure copper.
Copper, also known as gold in ancient times, had the effect of warding off evil spirits. It is used to create a coffin, which is generally used to suppress the mutation of the corpse in the coffin. In the tomb robbers' trade, there are people who would rather meet the living Hades than touch the golden coffin.
One can imagine how terrible the contents of the copper coffin are.
Because of Yun'er's relationship, I have an almost endless relationship with the Lu Liang Zhou family, but what I never expected was that the other party actually came to participate in his master banquet. If it weren't for Wu Zhidao stopping me, I really wouldn't care about any master banquets, and I would have killed these monsters first.
"Ni Ge, don't be impulsive, this group of people may not be here for you, there are people from the metaphysical world from various families and good sects at the master banquet, and they are willing to come to help your luck at the master banquet. As long as the people of the Lu Liang Zhou family don't make trouble, let's have the master feast first. As long as you walk past the Path Stone, no one will be able to destroy your luck. Wu Zhidao said in a low voice.
I gritted my teeth and didn't speak, obviously I couldn't justify wanting to kill this person from the Lu Liang Zhou family today. It's also not suitable for the right time, place and people, so let these guys live for a while longer.
In the stands, a total of six people from Lu Liang's Zhou family came, all with sallow faces and expressionless faces. But the expression that looked at me was unusually cold. Obviously, these guys don't have any good intentions.
A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I glanced at Lu Liang Zhou's family meaningfully. He turned around and began to greet other guests. I was busy until eleven o'clock, and there was still an endless stream of guests outside the door, so I had to leave in front of the Dao Stone, and the others were cleaned up by Wu Zhidao and Zheng Qihuai.
The auspicious time had arrived, and the huge clock hanging in the hall struck eleven times in succession, and the hands stopped at the eleven position. There was a sudden silence in the hall.
Crunch! Crunch! In this quiet environment, the sound of scratching is particularly harsh. The people of the Lu Liang Zhou family had a mocking smile on their lips.
I smiled slightly, and stepped on the first stone slab with a nonchalant step. The slate trembled a few times and came to a steady halt in the air. Around the five elements of the element, a basin of clear water swirls to form a vortex.
This is the water stone of Jiangxi. Jiangxi mountains and rivers are beautiful, since ancient times it is a place where soldiers must fight, and because Jiangxi has more mountains and forests, the characteristics of Karst terrain and appearance are obvious, and there are rare wonders in many caves.
It is in these caves that the water stones appear. However, the number is extremely rare, and it can be said that it is very rare. The water stone is not made of the rocks in this cave, but the stones that are wrapped in stalactites in this cave. This kind of stone is cold to the touch, and it can even emit bursts of water vapor in the sun.
The first slate was so special that it would never have been possible if I had prepared it myself. In fact, if it weren't for Wu Zhidao's thoughts, I would have even forgotten that I still had a master banquet.
Stepping onto the second stone slab, he successfully left an inch-deep footprint on the first one.
The audience burst into applause. The slate is precious, and his material is also granite. With brute force, a sledgehammer can be used to shatter the slate to the ground with a single hammer, but it is absolutely impossible to leave only deep marks on it like playing with mud.
The second step still landed firmly on the stone slab. At this moment, the pressure of the fire suddenly exploded. This is a flint that is comparable to the first slate. There will be a force of repulsion under mutual restraint. If you don't have a deep understanding of the Tao, you will be thrown out.
But so far, I seem to be very relaxed, although the water and fire slate is mysterious, but how can it compare to my water and fire skills. If you have fire and water in your body, why should you care about water, fire and stones outside your body?
Immediately after that, I took the third step. A footprint remained on the second stone. ’
