Volume 1 Gods and Demons in Troubled Times Chapter 50 Hongmen Banquet
As soon as Yi Chu Daoist pulled Lu Cong and was about to land, Lu Cong only showed his upper body, but as soon as the clay pot in his arms appeared, black clouds suddenly surged above the barren sea that had already fallen into the night, the wind was furious, the waves were monstrous, and the abandoned jade ferry boat that stayed outside the barren sea secret mansion shook with it.
Suddenly, the night sky was pitch black, overshadowing the light of the stars and moon, as if there was a great murderer in the world. Seeing this situation, Yi Chu Daoren, who landed first, turned around, blocked Lu Cong, his hand was extremely fast, and he took out the clay pot in Lu Cong's arms at once, and said in his mouth: "Qi!" The other hand stretched out two fingers, and the golden light flashed at the fingertips, pointing between Lu Cong's forehead, and in the next moment, Yi Chu Daoist slapped the clay pot between Lu Cong's forehead, and the clay pot flashed and disappeared, and finally "clang" and fell on the wooden bridge between Lu Cong's forehead, which happened to be the midpoint of the two life fires.
A strange feeling of uneasiness quietly floated out of the clay pot, and when I saw two very different fires on the left and right, I was amazed. A mass of tenderness and tranquility, a mass of ferocity and impermanence. I couldn't wait for Yiruo to secretly observe one or two more, and the pitch-black fire of life swelled and grew together, as if he wanted to drive away a guest, so frightened that he hurriedly retracted into the clay pot. The pitch-black fire burned the clay pot, and the flames enveloped half of the clay pot, but the clay pot was unmoving, extremely hard, and not afraid of the power of the pitch-black life fire.
After the clay pot was hidden in Lu Cong's body, the abnormal movement on the barren sea disappeared in an instant, and the black clouds gathered and dispersed, giving this night sky to the stars and moons again.
The young man who had been standing on the deck of the ferry looked at the four people walking towards the ferry from afar, and said nothing. After the abnormal movement just now, his face has been gloomy, holding the dull stone seal in his hand, even if the abnormal movement of heaven and earth just now disappeared at a very fast speed, and the stone seal that was active for a moment also returned to calm again, but it still made him a little uneasy, and he always felt that something was wrong.
The young man, who had thought for a moment, ordered, "Wait, no! Bring all the monks in the bilge to the deck at once! Remember, tonight we will entertain the students and let them eat and drink to their heart's content. Wolves, you must put away your posture too, and you must not be rude to them, do you know what to do?" said the young man's tone.
"Yes! The subordinates understand! The subordinates will not miss the young master's important affairs!" The wolf demon in luxurious clothes hurriedly responded, and the two sides of the slightly lowered head could be seen with different pupils, at this moment the wolf paw was holding a rocking fan, blocking his chest, and immediately summoned a few little demons, set up two round tables on this deck, and then ordered to go down, let the little demon bring good wine and food from the room, and after the arrangements were made, the pupil wolf walked down to the cabin.
When Lu Cong and the four of them returned to the cabin on the bottom floor of the ferry, the cabin board was reclosed in the sound of the gears turning, and by the inexplicable lights of the cabin, it could be seen that all the monks on the ground floor were like when they got off the boat before, gathered around the steps at the staircase, but the talking demon clan standing on the steps was changed from a fish to a heterochromatic pupil wolf demon.
Ferry offshore.
"Everyone, I think the trip to the secret palace is tiring, the owner of the ship ordered me to prepare a little wine, to entertain you for a moment or two, if you don't dislike it, please come with me!"
Subsequently, many monks followed one by one, thinking that it would be better to have a meal and see what the owner of the ship was like. Lu Cong and the four of them were no exception, after handing over the four flowing colored chime stones, they also followed, Hu Lunyun was the most excited, as an earth immortal, he no longer needed external food to maintain his strength, but the appetite was what Hu Lunyun did not want to give up.
There are two round tables on the deck, one table sits around eight or nine people, and the dishes on the table are different from the rough food eaten by ordinary demon clans, and the various delicacies in the plates and dishes are not inferior to the restaurants in the world.
After taking their seats, whether they knew each other or not, some of the monks had already met each other two or three times on this ferry, and it was a wine banquet, and the guard in their hearts was more or less relaxed.
"Do you know why the owner of the ship has a banquet to entertain us today? There has never been such hospitality on this ferry before?I was almost thrown off the boat last time!" a monk dressed in a wide red Taoist robe and bare his chest said to the people around him: "I'm afraid that the owner of the ship has something to ask me for?"
"Out of ion, what the hell are you doing with this? You have a few pounds and a few taels, it's not clear to everyone, instead of daydreaming here, it's better to finish this meal and go back to your Canggou Cave to have a good life and cultivate!" A middle-aged man from the Nong Sect in a cloak sneered at the next table.
The monk snorted angrily, cursed in a low voice, picked up the glass of wine in front of him and drank it.
The cloth-clothed monk at the same table as the monk of Nongzong sat cross-legged on the stool, his hands folded, he had no intention of eating the table, and when he heard the conversation just now, he said softly: "Why should the monks of Kufeng be sarcastic, they are also cultivators, and they also need to support each other in climbing the mountain and climbing the road!"
"Monk Qiyun, Lao Tzu doesn't accept your affection, Lao Tzu can't beat Kufeng! So let him go, when one day I go out of the ion Dao luck and break through the realm like drinking water, Kufeng will not have to kneel down and beg me to open the net! Hmph!" Ku Feng didn't speak, and Izu drank the wine first.
Ku Feng's eyes squinted: "Why don't you go now?"
The ion immediately raised a glass of wine, saluted Kufeng, drank it all, and then stopped making a sound, Kufeng sneered, and no longer paid attention to the ion.
There are a total of nineteen monks at the two tables, and those who don't want to speak are silent, and they are looking around and sociable, and those who like to communicate are toasting everywhere, Hulun Yun is the last person, whether it is a human or a demon, and the wine is toasted, and it is okay to drink it, and if you don't drink it, all kinds of vulgar words are sprayed all over the wine glass, and although some people on the two tables don't like it, no one has not drunk the glass of wine he handed to him, and even the Qiyun monk has taken a glass of water with the water method, and Hulun Yun has a drink, so that Hulun Yun, who is happy with half a point of wine, smiles happily.
Lu Cong didn't say a word, the chopsticks didn't stop, he ate a lot, Yi Chu Daoist didn't enter at all, Xiao Fengqi spit out with a sip of wine, and then didn't move, in addition, the three of them stared at Hu Lunyun and watched him play treasure non-stop, just in case.
After three rounds of drinking, the young man who was the owner of the ship finally came to show up, the rather sturdy young man was seven feet long, holding a glass of wine in his hand, still wearing a scorching cloud and wind helmet, wearing a dazzling sun armor, the helmet covered the upper half of his face, and the two square holes on the helmet were like black holes, without a trace of light.
As soon as the young man came, the demon clan on duty around him immediately turned around, all facing the people on the wine table, accompanied by several flickering tentacles behind him, and the fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"You have worked hard in the secret mansion, I salute you with a glass!" After that, he drank all the wine in his hand, "You have worked hard, but I Wuyuan has a reluctant request, and I also ask you to tell me more about the situation in the Secret Mansion of the Wild Sea now! Wuyuan is grateful!" Although Wuyuan's voice is light, it is not small, and the monks present have a good impression of it for a while.
Lian Lian took the lead and said: "Young Master Wuyuan, except for a few unbreakable prohibitions and inaccessible halls and hidden places in the Wasteland Secret Mansion, almost everything is empty, and I and the Broken Lion have not gained anything from this trip, maybe there is no place for foreign monks to explore in this Wasteland Secret Mansion." The other monks nodded their heads, agreeing with what Lian had said.
Lian Lian is a little disliked, although he has cooperated with Wuyuan several times, but the reward given by Wuyuan has been getting worse and worse in recent times, if it weren't for the fact that Wuyuan had saved his life, he was afraid that he would not have come.
Wu Yuan nodded, and suddenly smiled at Hu Lunyun, whose cheeks were slightly red, and said, "This senior seems to have gained a lot, I wonder if he has had an adventure in the secret mansion?"
Hu Lunyun frowned, the treasure hunt, each with his own ability, who has the ability, who has the treasure, but as soon as this Wuyuan said this, the monks present suddenly looked at him with different eyes.
Hu Lunyun, who was only half drunk, pretended to be very drunk at the moment, took off the brown bow behind him that Wuyuan had been staring at for a long time, threw it over, and shouted loudly: "My trip is like enjoying the scenery, but the scenery is not good, and I am a little disappointed." But fortunately, this longbow was found in a firewood house, I was originally a rough man in the mountains, good at shooting, and seeing that the gray brown bow was acceptable, I took it down and used it for bird shooting!
Wu Yuan held a shrunken stone seal and swiped it on the brown bow, and when he didn't see any vision, he smiled and said: "How dare you! How dare you! The things that my predecessors loved, Wu Yuan didn't dare to take love! I was just a little curious!" After that, Wu Yuan stood up and returned the brown bow to Hu Lunyun's hand, and Hu Lunyun, who seemed to have no waves, took the brown bow again, re-carried it, and hurriedly drank another cup to suppress the shock.
Wuyuan remained silent, and drank another cup with a cup of Hulunyun.
Seeing that Wuyuan's eyes fell on his side, Yi Chu Dao immediately cried: "Poor Dao is miserable! As soon as he entered the cave mansion, he was trapped by the prohibition of this school's martial arts, and he didn't come out until the second day, fortunately he met the two donors of Lian Lian and Broken Lion, and Poor Dao had to get out of danger, where can I still find the treasure, so I had to pick up two flowing colored chime stones with my little apprentice, so that I could come back and make a difference!" Yi Chu Daoren's voice was high-pitched, like a woman.
Wuyuan listened to Yi Chu Daoren's cry, his eyes looked at Lian Lian, and Lian Lian nodded slightly, confirming that what Yi Chu Dao said was true.
Wu Yuan glanced at Lu Cong, who was still eating, and then ignored it directly, moving to Xiao Fengqi.
Xiao Fengqi said directly: "Except for wine, there is nothing else!"
Wuyuan sighed and didn't ask any more.
In the end, to no avail, Wu Yuan had to stand up and have two more drinks with the monks present, and left, but his attention still fell on the four people who left the secret mansion last.
When it was over, Wu Yuan and the pupil wolf said: "Send someone to keep an eye on them! You will also keep an eye on them until you reach Shenglong Continent! You can't let go of their every move!"
The pupil wolf nodded, and watched Wuyuan leave.
Late at night, everyone left the table, the banquet dispersed, the wind and waves were calm, and the ferry boat still headed towards Thang Long Chau.
