Banquet at the Golden Mansion (20)
"Rest early, we have class tomorrow, so I won't be at home with you!"
Xue Keer, who had eaten a full dinner and played ball for a while, looked at the time and it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, sent Xiao Tao back to the bedroom, said goodbye after a while, and turned around and walked upstairs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mr. Xiao, your body's resilience is very strong, and within a month, you should be able to fully recover!"
In the common sense of ordinary people, it takes a hundred days to break the meridians and bones, but as a cultivator who has stepped into the second realm, his physical fitness has long reached the limit of ordinary people. Coupled with his already young body, he asked the personal doctor in charge, as if he had been treasured, twice a day in the morning and evening, to help Xiao Tao check his body and record relevant data.
"Rest early, we won't call you tomorrow morning, get a good night's sleep!"
Xiao Sha walked at the end, and after helping Xiao Tao tidy up the futon, she said softly. After making sure that Xiao Tao had no other problems, he turned off the light in the bedroom and gently closed the door.
This night, Xiao Tao slept very soundly and peacefully, and he had no dreams until the next day, when the sky was already bright.
"What time is it?" "Sir, it's 10:15 a.m." "I've slept for so long!"
Ringing the bell at the head of the bed, Xiao Tao asked the maid and the private doctor who walked in at the entrance. After learning that he had slept for more than twelve hours, he smiled a little speechlessly.
"Sir, Miss Mao Bingbing of the Mao family, Miss Zhong Wen of the Zhong family, and a gentleman surnamed Zhou, said that he was going to visit at noon, would I like to arrange it?"
"The two of them, and one Mr. Zhou, is it, Master Zhou!?"
Xiao Tao hesitated for a moment, nodded to Steward Tian who was standing at the door, and then, like an emperor, was waited for to put on his clothes and shoes, and walked towards the dining area.
After breakfast, Xiao Tao went directly to the rooftop. Today's weather is good, and recently the steward Tian has sent some good flower potted plants, which is also a good place to relax.
Near noon, a maid walked up to the rooftop and told Xiao Tao that the guests had arrived. Xiao Tao was led by a private doctor and a maid and slowly walked downstairs.
"Master Xiao, I said goodbye in a hurry last time, and I didn't see each other again, but it was such a scene, it was really embarrassing!"
A person with a familiar aura on his body, a familiar voice also sounded in his ears, Xiao Tao smiled, and as soon as he stepped down the stairs, he spoke.
"Hehe, Master Zhou! was supposed to be a junior, but I visited you in the past, how dare I bother Master Zhou to make a trip, this is really a sin! ”
Zhong Wen and Mao Bingbing next to him also stepped forward and said a few words to Xiao Tao, and Steward Tian, who was standing on the side, led a few people to the reception room next to him after greeting them.
"The world is impermanent, and blessings and disasters are unpredictable! This is also the cause and effect of my calamity, I can't escape, I can't hide! ”
After Master Zhou heard Xiao Tao's words, he sighed with some emotion and said in a somewhat depressed tone.
"Alas, I originally listened to what Miss Zhong and Miss Mao said, I thought it was just an ordinary eye disease, but I didn't expect it to be a matter of heaven, it seems that it can't help much!"
He, Zhong Wen and Mao Bingbing didn't come empty-handed, they had prepared a lot of tonic medicines that were good for the eyes, and even things that were only circulated in the circle of cultivators. But after really seeing Xiao Tao's eyes, he realized that things were much more troublesome than he imagined.
"Maybe only by making a move can the 'magic barrier' be eliminated, and you will be able to return a clear sight in front of you!"
Master Zhou's words only made Xiao Tao smile indifferently, and he had no plans to take it on. After Senior Brother Lichen appeared, he understood that these things were something he had to experience, and he could help him with the help of others.
"When I returned from the Jin Mansion yesterday, I was given some mundane things, which tasted good, and I happened to be full of food with me, and it was not in vain to come to me!"
After greeting a few people, Xiao Tao waved his hand to the maid standing aside, and said with a smile to the three people sitting next to him.
"Hehe, that's really a blessing to be able to have a good meal!"
A few minutes later, a few maids put away the tea in front of them, and ten exquisite dishes filled their tables. The ensuing rice, with the ultimate gluttonous temptation, was placed in front of several people.
"Master Zhou, Miss Mao, Miss Zhong! Please don't be polite, feel free to enjoy, I won't be polite with a few people! ”
Xiao Tao, the maid next to him, helped to clip some meat and vegetarian dishes in the bowl, said politely to a few people, and then took them up and enjoyed them.
"Haha, it's really satisfying! Last time I said it, I was still stained with the light of the Lingshi, and I was fortunate to enjoy a dinner with state banquet-level treatment, but this time I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to eat again! The wish for the rest of my life is enough! ”
Even Zhong Wen and Mao Bingbing, who usually don't eat much, added rice twice. Master Zhou sighed with emotion, swallowed the last bite of rice in the bowl, patted his somewhat swollen stomach, and said with a smile on his face.
"Xiao Tao, in fact, we came this time to find you!"
Seeing that Master Zhou seemed to be preparing a long speech, he expressed the evil feelings in his heart, although this meal was indeed a rare delicacy, but they also had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Xiao Tao knows his own family affairs, since he lost his sight and regressed in cultivation, his strength is less than one-third of what he used to be because the bones of his body have not completely healed. And Mao Bingbing should also know about these situations, but he doesn't know why, and he still has something to come to.
"Half a month ago, we just finished a gathering of cultivators! It's said to be a party, but it's actually a competition! ”
Mao Bingbing put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Xiao Tao with a bit of heat in his eyes. Zhong Wen also took this opportunity to slowly tell Xiao Tao the ins and outs of the party.
"The Great Tribulation?! So why is there such a thing as a fight? ”
Xiao Tao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling that this matter was a little unusual, and asked in a deep voice.
As far as he knows, the five techniques of mountain, medicine, life, divination, and physiognomy, except for the "mountain" gate, have little contact with each other, and they are also caused by many reasons in history. However, in Zhong Wen's narration, Shanmen, as the head of the five arts, turned out to be the sponsor of this gathering, and it was also they who facilitated the competition.
Strictly speaking, Xiao Tao also belongs to the mountain gate, and naturally knows that many people led by the Buddhists and the Taoists of those sects have never allowed their disciples to participate in the affairs of the other four sects, and even the previous several "gatherings" of cultivators, as always, they just sent an idle person in the sect to be a witness.
