16. Party (4)

Only then did Chu Ning know that the person in front of him was Meng Liangyan, who was famous for his erudition, and he was also the person who was rumored to have a deep affection for Su Tianxin and even delayed his life.

Meng Liangyan's clothes have been washed white, revealing simplicity that does not match his identity and fame, obviously his mind is not on this on weekdays, but the jade on his waist and the crown on his head are also a lot, which fully meets the requirements of orthodox etiquette.

Although he should be at least forty years old, his face does not look old, and it is even vaguely conceivable that he must have been a handsome young man when he was younger, no wonder he could make a queen do such a thing for him. It's just that he has obviously been drinking heavily for a long time and staying up late, and his face is always a little tired, and he has to cough heavily before he can say a few words.

The Meng family is a family of poets and scholars, and the rarity of Meng Liangyan is that he is not only a famous Confucian, but also proficient in superb spiritual arts. It is rumored that he is likely to be one of the examiners in this year's Lingque Terrace selection. Most of the girls here are going to participate in the selection this year, so they don't dare to offend him no matter what.

In just a few words, he sent a group of twittering girls and asked Zhong Xuan and Ji Ying to take them to change their clothes, and even Su Jinyao and Su Qingyue were invited to leave, but they only specified that Chu Ning wanted to stay.

Meng Liangyan took out his signature piece, dipped his finger in the stick powder and wrote the word "flower", this is the simplest illusion spell, according to the spell list circulated among the Lindu family, it should be able to conjure up falling flowers.

But Meng Liangyan twisted his fingers, and a layer of blue light appeared on the spell, and then, within three steps around him, snow like goose feathers fell. When he wrote that word, he had in mind not open flowers, but snowflakes.

"Those young ladies, in order to memorize the name and function of the spell, like to play lottery." Meng Liangyan withdrew his hand, and the spell stick fell to the ground, "However, they don't know that what they did is completely wrong, the curse name is not fixed, what really matters is the strong desire in your heart." ”

Meng Liangyan casually talked about something else, such as how to make the sign and the stick, and different ingredients will cause the effect of the spell to be very different. For example, everyone will have their own special method of opening the spell, which can not be too simple to prevent it from being cracked by people with ulterior motives, but also not too complicated, so as not to be slashed by the opponent before they have time to do anything.

Soul control is ever-changing, but in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a spell, a beast, and a weapon.

As for beast control and weapon control, they are actually means for soul control warlocks to enhance their own strength. It's just that the more powerful the spirit beast and spirit weapon, the more tempered it is, and it is not easy to subdue. But the spiritual weapon is a little better, even if you can't tame the ready-made one, you can find a way to make it yourself, and then slowly cultivate it to enhance your spirituality.

It is estimated that the time is not early, and it is time for a banquet on the side of Songxi Garden, which is hostile, so Meng Liangyan will not say anything else, but finally tell Chu Ning: "The content of the assessment during the selection is nothing more than these three aspects, you just need to choose your own spirit beasts and spirit weapons before the formal selection begins." Even if you are not satisfied for a while, you can replace it later, but if you miss any of them, you will be eliminated directly. ”

As long as...... That's it...... Chu Ning hadn't come back to her senses for a while, and it wasn't as easy as he said, with less than four months to go, where did she go to find spirit beasts and spirit weapons?

Meng Liangyan just finished what he wanted to say, turned around and left. After walking a few steps away, he turned around and said very solemnly: "There is a person who is looking forward to your performance when choosing a candidate on the Spirit Bird Stage. "There are no other words.

Chu Ning had no choice but to use the courtesy of a student to thank the teacher and bid him farewell. She originally thought that Meng Liangyan might be an unforgettable old love for Su Tianxin, so she wanted to give her daughter some help. But his last sentence made her wonder again, "there is a person", it is definitely not himself.

The white-bodied and black-tailed kitten was originally lying on the grass, lazily basking in the sun, and when he saw Meng Liangyan leaving, he reluctantly yawned and led the way to Chuning to Songxi Garden.

The main hall of Songxi Garden has been filled with several cases of huanghuali wood, and several piles have been gathered along the auspicious cloud patterns on the ground. Everyone who came to the banquet had a separate table and a different table.

As soon as she entered the door, Chu Ning saw Su Qingyue beckoning to her, leaving a seat for her next to her small case.

Su Jinyao has always been advised by Princess Ankang to have more contact with Princess Yunle, the daughter born to the current queen, so she naturally came to Princess Yunle at this time and did not sit with them.

Princess Yunle's biological mother is the current queen of Dongqi. After Zheng Ji's death, King Qi took the opportunity to worship in the capital of the Son of Heaven and asked to marry a Wang Ji as his wife. Speaking of which, the king of Eastern Qi is just a prince divided by the Son of Heaven, but this queen is the real Son of Heaven Wang Ji, a golden branch and a jade leaf.

The king of Qi doesn't love her much, but he respects her very much, as long as this queen from the royal capital is there, Dongqi can command the surrounding small countries, as if they are a hegemon.

As soon as Chu Ning sat down, the dishes were put on the table, and the steaming roast pork seemed to have some special spices added, and it smelled very good. A little maid came up to her and helped her cut the meat into small pieces.

Before she could take a bite, a middle-aged woman with a high bun on her head walked in, and the lady behind her was holding a small pear box.

Some of the guests have already recognized that it is the wife of Meng Liangyan's eldest brother and the mother of Meng Zhongxuan and Meng Jiying. When the hostess arrived, the guests took it for granted that she was here for her daughter to entertain the scene, so as not to entertain them inadequately. A few people who had always been close to the Meng clan had already stood up with wine bottles and greeted them with a smile.

Mrs. Meng passed in front of those people, but she didn't stop, and nodded slightly to them: "I'm sorry, there are some urgent matters here that need to be dealt with immediately, and then I will take the little girl to toast a few people." ”

She walked in front of Chu Ning and stopped, and motioned to the maid to bring forward the pear wood box in her arms, although she opened her mouth to ask, she used a very positive tone: "This young lady is from the Su family, and her name is Chu Ning, right, the things in this box are the congratulatory gifts you brought today, right?" ”

Chu Ning stood up and saw a gold ring embedded in the lid of the box, on which fell a small piece of bamboo, clearly written with her name and the emblem of the Su family.

"From the box," she replied without humility, "is there anything wrong with that?" ”

Mrs. Meng snorted coldly: "Since it is confirmed that it is you, then please give an explanation in front of everyone, and send such a thing as a gift, what does it mean?" ”
