Chapter 0330: Sword Gate on a Moonlit Night
The moon is setting, several peaks of Jianmen are lit with blazing bonfires, in the afternoon, the head of the giant Que ordered to slaughter a lot of spirit beasts, at this time they have been set up on the fire, the aroma wafts out from the top of each peak, it can be clearly smelled on the mountain road, these nine mountain roads are also lit with torches, there are male disciples carrying barrels of good wine, walking between the peaks, they look relaxed, casually tell jokes, or talk about the outstanding senior sisters and sisters of each peak, this kind of relaxed atmosphere, in fact, has not appeared in Jianmen for a long time.
Many disciples have just started, and before their cultivation is on the right path, the war between the two clans has escalated in an all-round way, and the Sword Gate has inevitably been swept in, and the peaceful time they should have has been replaced by endless guarding and guarding tasks, until now, every exit of the Sword Gate and every important node of the formation has disciples guarding it all day.
Ju Quezi was rarely interested today, maybe because he saw Luo Tian's true strength, or maybe because Su Qi suddenly came over, which gave him a good excuse to catch the wind, in short, he was ready to celebrate, although he also knew that the Upside Down Mountain was still in the north of Lingxu Mountain, and the threat was always there, but after all, the disciples in the sect had also been nervous for more than ten days because of the demon clan's attack on the mountain, and they urgently needed to relax at this time.
So Ju Que simply held a bonfire meeting.
And the disciples of the Sword Gate, except for those who are still on the task, the rest have gathered in the square of the Juque, Lihuo and other peaks, at this time the peaks are noisy, the meat has not yet been roasted, almost the fire, most of the people are gathered to blow the cowhide, the most discussed topic is naturally the nine hanging water in the daytime, the disciples who were fortunate enough to watch it up close were already the center of the crowd at this time, foaming at the mouth, preaching the elegance of Luo Tilt. And among these peaks, the most lively is Lihuo Peak, because Liuchu Peak is too cold, there is no way to do any bonfire meeting, so the disciples all ran to Lihuo Peak, at this time the disciples of the two peaks have already begun to fight wine, and the noise can even be heard by Juque Peak not far away.
The aroma of the meat is getting stronger and stronger, and the people on this fire are all high-grade spirit beasts, from Bazhen chicken to dragon scale cow, all of them are worth a lot of money, these disciples are difficult to have this kind of mouth on weekdays, there is that delicious master, since this meat rack is on fire, his eyes have been firmly on those busy cooks. The chef of this Jianmen actually has a very good background, he stayed in the Dali Palace in his early years, and was rewarded with a second-grade official position, he is one of the famous chefs in the Eastern Wilderness, he resigned thirty years ago, and was invited to Jianmen by Juquezi, and has stayed until now. When the sword gate was broken, this guy hid in the cellar and survived, and when the dust settled, he did not leave the sword gate, and was still working as a cook in the mountains.
Most of the other cooks are his disciples, and they all have excellent skills, but if it is the one who has the most appetite for Juquezi, it is naturally this old man named Xiang Yun, at this time, he is busy at the top of Juque Peak.
Su Qi squatted under a roast chicken, taking a sip of the wine in the cup, while the fox next to him was drooling, looking no different from a gluttonous little doll waiting to be fed, Su Qi glanced at him with disgust, "Isn't your fox family a hidden sect? Shouldn't it be that you are so rich that you don't have a disdain for this kind of thing? Why do you have such a useless expression?"
Fox Ji glared at Su Qi fiercely and licked his lips, "You know a fart!"
"No quality. Su Qi turned his head, and at the other end of the square, Ju Que Zi was sitting with Hu An, Hu An seemed to be whispering something, and Ju Que Zi had a cheap expression, he was holding a jar of wine in his hand, and patted Hu An's shoulder while drinking, and the sound of laughter could even be heard by Su Qi here.
"Alas, our family is very rich, yes," Fox Ji wiped the corners of his mouth, there was a trace of greasy on his fingers, he couldn't hold back just now, and finally reached out and tore off a piece of slightly charred meat from the roast chicken, put it in his mouth and swallowed it quickly, the happy look on his face made Su Qi look quite unbearable, and decided not to grab this roast chicken with him for a while, Fox Ji licked the oil from his fingertips, with a sad face," But from my ancestors to my father, they all thought that eating was a waste of the monk's time, and the cook at home was only for those children...... Now I want to vomit when I see the pill. ”
Su Qi patted him on the shoulder and said with pity, "This chicken is all yours." ”
"Who's that?"
Fox Ji pointed to a girl who was standing quietly not far away, she was carrying a long sword, holding a pot of wine in her hand, leaning against the stone pillar of Juque Peak Square, her posture was slender, the dim fire light shone on her body, and the white dress matched very well, her side face was bright and uncertain, under the moonlit night, she looked very lonely.
Su Qi hesitated for a moment, casually stuffed the cup in his hand into Fox Ji's arms, got up and walked towards Lu Celadon.
"Damn!" Fox looked down at the cup in his arms, scolded indignantly, and then turned his head again, staring at the soon-to-be-roasted chicken and drooling.
Getting closer, Su Qi finally discovered what Lu Celadon was looking at.
"There will be a chance. Su Qi stood beside her, and the peaks in the distance were deep black under the moonlit night, and she couldn't see the details clearly, but whether it was Lu Celadon or Su Qi, they were very familiar with the outline.
Lu Qingci didn't turn her head, her hearing was very good, she could distinguish dozens of swords just by the sound of swords, and after years of getting along, she had long been familiar with Su Qi's footsteps, "Some people have waited too long. ”
Her voice was cold, always reminding Su Qi of the orchid at night, this girl grew up with him, but in fact, he watched her grow little by little, from that painful girl to a girl who rarely showed emotions, and only in front of him and Zhao Riyue would she confide her true emotions.
"The Shanshui Sect has rebelled to the side of the demon clan, and the Tianji Pavilion will not spare them. ”
"I'll have to do it myself. Lu Celadon turned sideways, she was very tall, she looked at Su Qi in a daze, there was a very special brilliance in her eyes, but after a while, she lowered her head, "I'm still too slow." ”。
"In a place like Qishan, your cultivation speed is already amazing, and didn't the old man say that sometimes, too fast may not be a blessing. Su Qi flicked her hair lightly and changed the subject, "I haven't talked to the old man since I came back, do you know why the Demon Ancestor made a move against the Sword Gate?"
Lu Celadon was stunned for a moment, her slender eyebrows raised slightly, she glanced back at Ju Quezi, who was standing up and about to announce the start, and said in a low voice, "I heard Master say that there is a knife buried under the Sword Gate. ”
