Chapter 18: The Betrothal Feast
The conversation broke up unhappily.
Lin Luo lay on the bed and closed his eyes in contemplation.
He doesn't like his fate in the hands of others, and it is estimated that everyone doesn't like their fate to be manipulated by others.
Without Dingshuizhu, it must be difficult to go to Naihe, but you can't lose your life because of Dingshuizhu.
This journey seems to be in the dark, but if you think about it carefully, except for the nine tasks given by the mysterious old man, every step seems to have been deliberately arranged.
"A heavy hall comes and a heavy high, thousands of heavy and heavy into the clouds, into the clouds and treasures, master, I will go in and be happy...... hehe. β
Before the turtle arrives, the sound comes first.
Lin Luo, who was deep in thought, was pulled back to reality by the out-of-tune ballad of the little turtle.
With a "bang", Lin Luo's door was rudely kicked open.
I saw the little turtle carrying his hands behind his back, taking square steps, and swaying directly into Lin Luo's room.
Looking at the little turtle again, the original pink pants have become carbon black, and they are full of burned holes, and the turban tied to the head is gone.
"...... are you?"
The little turtle proudly touched the top of the bare head with its front paws, and replied, "Don't say it, that girl is a friend worth making and can lead the way." Although the group suffered a little today, it was worth it. β
Lin Luo didn't have the heart to listen to the little turtle's vernacular, so he simply lay down on the bed again.
"Boy, I heard that you are going to bury Xiantai?"
Lin Luo had no intention of speaking.
The little turtle poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all, and said: "It is said that thousands of years ago, there was also a kid named Lin Luo who entered the burial immortal Tai, and I heard that it was also for the golden pupil. β
After speaking, he squinted at Lin Luo.
Seeing that Lin Luo still didn't react, the little turtle sighed and turned to leave, muttering as he walked: "The golden pupil is not fake in Naihe, so I don't want to know what the golden pupil is?"
Lin Luo sat up, feeling that the little turtle was inexplicable, and since he called the dragon clan, it seemed that everyone had told him a big truth.
Lin Luo touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said to himself, "Let's go?"
Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
Long Qing'er stood in front of the door, but she didn't plan to come in.
Lin Luo stood up and asked, "Miss Qing'er, is there something?"
Long Qing'er still looked cold, and did not answer Lin Luo's question, but asked rhetorically, "Are you going or not?"
"Uh......?"
"My father said you would go, but I didn't believe it. β
Lin Luo smiled awkwardly, and the idea of going to go that had just germinated disappeared in an instant, and he didn't care about it: "Does it matter if I go or not?"
Long Qing'er stared at Lin Luo for a moment, and only then did she say that Lin Luo's heart was furious: "The father who should be said has told you everything, although this trip is extremely dangerous, it is also related to the fate of my Golden Dragon Clan and even the entire Dragon Clan." β
The Golden Dragon Clan, or the entire Dragon Clan, what can he do to an outsider?
"I know that as a foreigner, all these things have nothing to do with you, but a big man has something to do and something to do, and I still know such a truth as a woman, what about you?"
"Those who achieve great things are not limited to small sections, I am responsible for my reputation, and I will reply happily, whether to go or not?"
Lin Luo touched the bridge of his nose and hesitated, "Uh......?"
"Cowards, not even women!"
After speaking, Long Qing'er turned around and left.
"Hey, my little temper, who do you say is a coward, who is not a man?"
As soon as the words came out, the white clothes had long disappeared from sight.
"Boy, you're really wrong. β
Such an abrupt voice startled Lin Luo.
The little turtle leaned against the root of the wall, holding a withered grass in his mouth, and said vaguely: "This Long Qing'er is indeed pitiful, my father set up an engagement banquet, but my fiancΓ© refused to show up, a girl's family, where is the face, alas." β
After speaking, the little turtle spit out the withered grass in his mouth, glanced at Lin Luo, and sighed deeply because he hated that iron could not become steel, and turned to leave.
The little turtle shook his head and muttered as he walked: "Coward, the master has seen the wrong person." β
Lin Luo is so angry, he doesn't know anything, but in the eyes of these people, he has become a coward.
The angry Lin Luo paced back and forth in the room, "I'm a coward, I'm a man of several feet, I say I'm a coward, then I'll show you tough!"
-------------------------------------
As night falls, the lights come on.
A large hall of the dragon clan is very lively, ninety-nine mahogany tables and stools in the main hall are neatly placed, the night pearl originally used for lighting is also artificially attached to a layer of red curtains, and there are nine red lanterns hanging on both sides of the main hall, all of which imply that the world lasts forever.
The most lively thing is the square outside the main hall, where thousands of people are busy nervously, or hanging lanterns, or setting up tables and stools, or putting dining utensils.
As the night gets deeper and the lanterns get brighter and brighter, the inside and outside of this hall become more lively.
"Woo, woo, woo," three low horns sounded.
"Bell, bell, bell," three more drums sounded.
"Patriarch, please, Elder Tai!" a high-pitched shout echoed throughout the dragon clan.
The inside and outside of the originally noisy hall instantly fell silent.
Long Xiangtian and the three elders came from far and near, followed by Long Qing'er, at this time, Long Qing'er was dressed in pink, standing up, her already fair face was deliberately painted with powder, and her thin eyebrows were drawn, although she still looked indifferent, but it added a little amazing.
Long Lifei laughed loudly, and together with Long Liyang, the master of the Black Dragon First Vein Sect, he hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Lifei and Liyang have seen the three elders. β
Then he hugged his fists and saluted: "Congratulations to the patriarch, congratulations to the patriarch." β
Long Xiangtian also laughed twice, hugged his fists and saluted back: "The little girl is married, and she is not out of the cabinet, why should the two clan uncles come in person?"
"The patriarch's words are killing the two of us, the three elders came in person, how can we not be reasonable, besides, Qing'er has been smart and clever since she was a child, as an elder, I want to see who has such good luck from heaven. β
The three of them laughed "haha", exchanged a few words of greeting, and led each other into the main hall.
Long Qi, who was following Long Xiangsen, as a junior, would definitely not be able to interject, but he had always been gentle and elegant in the eyes of others, but he always lowered his eyelids.
Everyone sat down, and the dragon clan patriarch Long raised his wine glass to the sky, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's little girl is engaged, and this banquet is specially organized.
"!"
The wine glass was full, and Long Xiangtian continued: "Everyone, I think that my dragon clan has stood in the Ancient Continent for more than 100,000 years since the founding of the three ancestors, and has experienced countless battles of all sizes, although it has not been completely victorious, it should not be underestimated, this is the credit of the ancestors, it is the credit of everyone here, this cup respects the ancestors, respects yourself, come, do!"
"!"
The wine glass continued to be full, Long Xiangtian picked up the wine glass, strode towards the gate of the main hall, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "This third cup, I want to announce one thing first, after I have discussed with the two door masters, the burial immortal Tai will be opened in three days, and the three veins can each select ten young generation clansmen to enter the experience, for one month, those who successfully return can enter the seventh floor of the Treasure Pavilion, come, do!"
At this time, no one at the scene echoed anymore, some were shocked, and some were eager to try.
Burial Immortal Tai, the place of great evil, there are still countless ancient demons living inside, a little careless, will be a catastrophe, of course, there are countless spiritual flowers and fairy grasses in this burial immortal Tai, and in that ancient period, the great cultivators who fell here are also everywhere. What's even more attractive is the treasure of the seventh layer of the Dragon Clan's Treasure Pavilion, which is enough for a lifetime.
Some of the older dragons chewed the flavor, shook their heads and laughed dumbly, and then took their wine glasses and drank them.
The people who can sit in the dragon clan hall are all people with status in the dragon clan, and their words and deeds must be in line with their own identity, and they are at most blessed, and they are talking in small voices in groups of three or two, so the atmosphere is relatively dull.
But outside the hall, it was very lively, there were people fighting wine, there were fist fights, there were jokes, and even more so those who drank and vomited, and those who lay on the table and pretended to sleep, like a philistine banquet.
I don't know who drank too much or did it on purpose, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Patriarch, on the day of today's engagement, why can't you see that lucky boy." β
As soon as these words came out, shouts and coaxing outside the hall were endless.
"That's it, old man, I'm still ashamed. β
Long Lifei also joked with a smile: "Xiangtian, other people's golden houses are hidden, you are a hidden son-in-law." β
In the hall, as Long Lifei said this, the atmosphere was also much more relaxed, and everyone laughed.
At this time, Long Xiangtian was in trouble, according to his calculations, this Lin Luo should come, but now he muttered a little in his heart, if Lin Luo didn't come, it would be a big mess today.
Outside the main hall, on the most side of the table, the little turtle was holding a wine jug in his hand, burping wine, and said with a big tongue: "Boy, the master really didn't misunderstand you, it's good." β
The little golden dragon is also a virtue with the little turtle, lying in a wine glass, his face is flushed, and he is babbling something.
Long Xue'er picked up the wine glass, touched the glass that Lin Luo put on the wine table, and said drunkly: "Brother-in-law, should I congratulate you or should I grieve for you, my sister is cold all day long, and has violent tendencies, you have to be careful." β
Long Xiangtian smiled embarrassedly, and just when he didn't know what to do, he saw Long Qing'er stand up, walked to the center of the hall in a generous manner, changed his previous indifference, and said with a smile: "Lin Luo, I know that you have come, why don't you dare to show up, I know that you know your feelings, you know my intentions, why don't you dare to face it." β
In the main hall, although Long Qi already knew about this, when he heard Long Qing'er's words, his face was obviously stiff, and he took a drink from the wine glass.
Outside the main hall, there was a commotion again, "Lin Luo, Lin Luo......." β
"Brother-in-law, I'll support you, up. β
The little turtle was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he howled and said, "Lin Luo is here." β
"Huh!" all eyes focused on Lin Luo.
Lin Luo put down the wine glass he had just picked up, "I'm afraid you won't make it." β
As soon as he stood up, there was another commotion.
Long Xiangtian saw Lin Luo appear, and his hanging heart finally let go.
Under the gaze of so many people, it was the first time for Lin Luo to experience it, and he was inevitably a little nervous in his heart, and his walking posture was a little uncomfortable.
Long Qing'er couldn't help but smile when she saw it in her eyes.
Here, Lin Luo just walked to Long Qing'er's side, outside the main hall, a person carrying a wine jug, stood up leisurely, and said, "I said, you outsider, the toad jumped over the dragon gate, but what is so special?"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and an old man sitting next to this person hurriedly pulled him to sit down, and said with a smile: "The dog drank too much, drank too much." β
