Chapter 162, Special Dinner
In view of the fact that the young disciples of the three 'Qing' sects had already arrived, the protocol of the Ziyang Sect informed the people of each sect that a special dinner banquet would be held in the Dao Gong Dharma Hall on the first floor of the Qibao Pavilion at two o'clock in the evening.
Today, the Ziyang Sect, the Qingyun Sect, the Qingcheng Sect and the Qingyang Sect are also known as the Four Great Dao Immortal Schools in the cultivation realm.
The Ziyang faction has been established for more than 2,000 years and has been living majestically on the majestic Ziyang Mountain on the west side of Middle Earth. Because the patriarch of the Kaipai sect, Tsing Yi Daozun, inherited the Book of Heavenly Dao, made full use of the true mysteries of the universe, and backed by Kunlun Mountain, and stained with the immortal veins of the Divine Domain, it is naturally worshiped by hundreds of sects, admired by ten thousand doors, and is a leader in the rivers and lakes and the cultivation realm, just like the purple microstar high in the night sky, overlooking the vast earth, shining with endless light.
The Qingyun faction is located in Qingyun Mountain on the north side of the Central Plains, and the Qingcheng faction is located in Qingcheng Mountain in the southwest mountains and rivers, both factions also have a heritage of nearly two thousand years, and their strength and influence are only inferior to those of the Ziyang faction, and they are not even much different, which is the north and south wings of the Middle-earth Continent in the cultivation realm.
The Qingyang faction was founded by the seventh generation of the Ziyang faction, Qingyang Zhenren, who traveled to the coast of the East China Sea, although the sect was only passed down for three generations, but the Qingyang faction rose at the same time as the Dahua Dynasty. Qingyang Zhenren's eyes are like torches, adhere to the "heart of birth into the eye of the world" founding purpose, standing in the mountains to look at the court and the opposition, the different realms of Taoist cultivation are summarized as "nine orders and three clears", for the court to cultivate a batch of batches of handsome talents, three hundred years in the Dahua Dynasty will enter the phase, so the influence in the current dynasty is greater than the Ziyang faction, has long stood among the four famous schools. However, the Qingyang faction still humbly called itself a young sect in front of the Ziyang faction, which won wide acclaim, coupled with the fact that it acted first and morality, and now it has a reputation in the cultivation world.
It's just that in recent years, as the Dahua Dynasty has gradually declined, the Great Penal State in the west, the Great Youguo in the north and the East China Sea have risen up and infiltrated the inside and outside of the Dahua Dynasty. They supported the local alien cults, surrounded and encroached on the martial arts forces in the Xiuzhen realm around Ziyang Mountain, besieged the Ziyang faction, and tried in vain to cut off the connection between the Ziyang faction and the three "green" sects, waiting for the opportunity to destroy the Taoist sect in this Middle Earth and annihilate the Taoist system of Dahua. Those manglin, mountains, rivers, and rivers that connected the hinterland of the Dahua Dynasty were successively encroached upon by the Demon Clan's Great Hidden Country, the Heavenly Clan's Great Punishment Country, and the dark forces of the East China Sea Dragon Court, and the Ziyang Sect's limelight was not as good as it was year after year.
Before the time came, Liu Huacan, a young man in white who was in charge of signing in at the pavilion gate during the day, and Li Yueran, the girl in charge of reception, came to the Daogong Hall on the first floor early to arrange and prepare for tonight's banquet. As soon as the two of them arrived, they saw the three people from the Qingyang faction walking in first.
"Senior Brother Ma, Senior Brother Wan, Senior Brother Li, so early!" Liu Huacan hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"The matter of the old sect is the matter of our young sect, we just come over first to see what we can do to help?" Ma Qinghe said humbly.
"Thank you, Brother Ma. Actually, it's nothing, there are a lot of volunteers here, and the two of us are just talking. Liu Huacan replied.
"Senior Sister Yueran, I'm glad to meet my sister here. You are also a 'Qing' generation?" Li Qingtong said with a smile.
"Yes, I can't write two 'Li' characters with one stroke. I am a young disciple who has been in the business for less than seven years, and the master said that now the customs have changed, and the name does not necessarily have to be embedded with the word 'Qing', so it is directly called the original name. ”
"May I ask who your master is?"
"My master is the famous Xuan Mingzi!" Li Yueran said proudly.
"My master is also Xuan Mingzi!" Wan Qingye interjected.
"I know, the first seat of Feng Ming Peak is as famous as my master. Li Yueran said.
"Both of them are still real temperaments, with similar tempers, and I heard that they are still a pair of confidants for more than 30 years. Wan Qingye said.
"Yes! A pair of teachers in temperament also brought out a pair of disciples in temperament. Li Yueran sighed leisurely.
Of course, the three of Qingyang Mountain understood that she was referring to the Qingqiao girl who is now a holy aunt in the Heavenly Clan-the daughter of Xuanmingzi of the Ziyang Sect, and the disciple of Xuanmingzi of the Qingyang Sect-her fifth senior brother Shang Qingtian, who is a well-known Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the two major sects.
"Senior Sister Yueran, do you know what the main content of tonight's banquet is?" Li Qingtong asked quietly.
"It should be a matter of the formation in the Valley, right?" Li Yueran replied uncertainly.
During the conversation, the disciples of various sects and sects also came to the Dharma Hall one after another, including Yuan Qingxiao and Wang Qingyang, the two senior brothers in charge of the protocol department of the Ziyang faction, Su Qingyue, Han Qingyan and Lu Qingbo, Tao Qingni and Rao Sang'er of the Qingyun faction, Yang Nanchuan, He Qilang and the little junior sister Bai Suzhen of the Qingcheng faction, plus Yao Yuan of the Huayin Sect, Chu Yuntian and Mi Huanchen of the Wuyun Sect, Zhu Yantai and Yue Xianxi of the Xiaoxiang Academy, Zhao Wujian and Yan Beisheng of the Yuyang Gate, Wu Xiutao and Xi Rujuan of the Tianmu Division, Ruan Zhongyong and Ruan Zhiyong of the Nanyue Sect, Chen Xianghua, Xian Zhida, Gao Beiwang, Wei Baifeng of 100,000 Gates, Duan Shanyu and Bai Shengtian of Dali Division...... There are no less than 50 young heroes from all walks of life.
Wang Qingyang smiled and said to Yuan Qingxiao: "Fifth Senior Brother, it turns out that all the sects and factions have arranged for young disciples to play as the vanguard!
Yuan Qingxiao said with a smile: "Of course, so the head master has even reserved the topic in advance, I'll wait for the juniors to learn more!"
"Hello Senior Brother Ma! Hello Senior Brother Wan! Hello Senior Brother Qingtong!" The people from Wuyun Sect and Xiaoxiang Courtyard saw the three members of the Qingyang Sect, and greeted them from afar.
"Senior Brother Su, please! Senior Brother Han, Senior Brother Lu, please!" tonight's hosts, Yuan Qingxiao and Wang Qingyang, gave in and sat down at the chief table with the five members of the Qingyun faction.
Bai Suzhen called Li Qingtong, and Li Qingtong called Yao Yuan again, so that the people of the Qingcheng faction, the Qingyang faction and the Huayin Sect sat together.
Heroes and young heroes from all walks of life greeted each other and sat down one after another. There were seven or eight people at each table, and there were seven tables in total.
At two o'clock, the food and wine will be served, and the special meal will start on time. Yuan Qingxiao, the welcoming envoy of the Ziyang Sect, presided over the dinner party.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Ladies and Gentlemen, I and the Eleventh Senior Brother were arranged and entrusted by the head of the sect to serve as the welcome envoys of the Protocol Department this time, and greeted the distinguished guests of all sects and factions in the colorful pavilion of Luwei Town at the foot of the mountain. You have traveled a long way, encountered mountains and roads, built bridges when encountering water, and had to get rid of all kinds of fierce spirits and monsters along the way, and also got rid of the entanglement and obstruction of the Phantom Demon Celestial Clan, you have worked hard!"
Su Qingyue, who was at the same table, stood up at this time and said in a loud voice: "Thank you for the care of the head of the Xuanyangzi sect of the Ziyang faction, and thank you for the love of Senior Brother Yuan and Senior Brother Wang." I don't feel hard at all! The Ziyang Ceremony, a gathering of thousands of years, goes to the soup and fire, and we yearn for it. ”
"Ziyang Grand Ceremony, once in a thousand years! Go to the soup and go to the fire, and your heart yearns for it!" Han Qingyan beside him immediately stood up and shouted.
"Ziyang Grand Ceremony, once in a thousand years! Go to the soup and go to the fire, and your heart yearns for it!" More than 20 people at the next table immediately cheered loudly.
"This is too contrived, isn't it?" said Bai Suzhen.
"Shh——!h Her eighth senior brother Yang Nanchuan whispered.
"It's too fake! Oops! I suddenly have an upset stomach," Li Qingtong whispered to her, hurriedly stroking his stomach with his hand.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Suzhen asked eagerly as she stared at him with wide eyes.
"Nausea. ”
"Sick to your stomach?" Bai Suzhen was inexplicable.
"With so many disgusting flies, can you not be sick to your stomach?" Li Qingtong said seriously.
"You're all necrotic!" Bai Suzhen hurriedly slammed the back of her fist into his stomach.
"Stop making a fuss, listen to what is said over there. Li Qingtong said.
“...... Today, the reason why this welcome division is set up outside the mountain is because there are too many rules and precepts on the mountain, and the Ziyang faction also understands the differences between various sects and sects, and the rules and precepts are different, and they are all young people, people who refine and refine qi, and their bodies need to be greatly replenished, besides, who doesn't like to eat meat!"
Yuan Qingxiao was talking over there, and everyone applauded.
"Come, fill it all up!"
