Chapter Seventy-One: The State Banquet

At noon, the sun curled up the leaves, and the long noise added to the sweltering heat.

In the wide carriage, He Yiming, who was sitting opposite Shui Xuanjin, glanced out of the car.

At the time of the New Year, he was ordered to go to Yuan's house in Jinlin with his uncle, when it was still a cold winter and heavy snow. But now months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather has become hotter.

For half a year, it was like a trance.

He turned his head to look at Shui Xuanjin on the other side, this old man already knew that his life would not last long, but from his body, he could not feel any depressive breath.

If it weren't for the perception of being an innate powerhouse that allowed him to affirm this, then he would definitely not believe that the body of this lively and cheerful old man in front of him was decaying at a rapid rate.

As if sensing He Yiming's gaze, Shui Xuanjin opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother He, I am an old man who is about to enter the ground, and I am not a big girl like a flower, what do you think I do?"

Although the two of them have only met a few times, and they have known each other for less than three days, for some reason, the two of them are quite close to each other.

This may be because Shui Xuanjin knows that his fate will not last long, so he has let go of all his minds, and He Yiming's mood is much more complicated, but the only thing that is certain is that he is full of real affection for this old man.

At this moment, after hearing the old man's ridicule, He Yiming suddenly remembered the scene in the study yesterday, his face was slightly red, and he said, "Brother Shui, how do you know?"

His heart was full of surprise, with his own cultivation and strength, he didn't even find this old man, which seemed a little unlikely.

Shui Hyun Jin laughed, and his dexterous ears suddenly moved.

These ears seemed to come to life, and they slowly lengthened, and finally became the same size as He Yiming when they first met.

If it is an ordinary person who sees this scene, then the first feeling must be that he has encountered a youkai. If a colleague from the 21st century travels here, then he will definitely think that the old man in front of him is a pig demon illusion.

But He Yiming knew that the reason why the old man was able to do such a terrifying level was only because he had cultivated the innate miracle skill of Shunfeng Ear to the peak.

Even when ordinary people are staring at their scalps in anger, their ears will have subtle expansion and contraction, and the innate powerhouses are even more exaggerated, they have been able to completely control every part of their body. It's like He Yiming, after cultivating the bone transformation technique, the acquired realm can only expand and shrink one head, but when he reaches the innate realm, let alone one head, even if it is two heads, there is no problem.

Shunfeng Ear itself is an innate exercise, so when the cultivation reaches the peak, it is not an exaggeration to exaggerate the expansion of the ear.

Seeing that these ears were windless and automatic, He Yiming's heart suddenly became clear, and said, "Shunfeng ears?"

Shui Xuanjin laughed, with indescribable joy in his laughter, and said, "Brother He, although Shunfeng Ear has little effect in actual combat, it is an innate exercise after all. If you can't even hear this little movement, then can it still be listed as an innate exercise?"

He Yiming's face sank slightly, and he said, "Are you spying on me?"

Shui Xuanjin waved his hand again and again, and said, "I just heard a little sound when I was practicing every day, where will I spy on you." ”

His tone was calm and selfless, and his eyes were as clear as water, without the slightest cloudiness and blur of ordinary old people.

He Yiming nodded slightly, inexplicably, he just believed the old man's words. Although there was no evidence, he just believed.

However, looking at these ears, He Yiming's heart was extremely envious, and he made up his mind that after he went back today, he must learn this exercise.

As if seeing He Yiming's thoughts, Shui Xuanjin sighed lightly and said, "Brother He, I know you want to learn this exercise, but this exercise is not the power of the five elements after all, if you don't have a natural physique suitable for cultivating the wind system exercises, I'm afraid that no matter how hard you try, it will be difficult to learn the essence of it in the end." ”

The corners of He Yiming's mouth drew a trace of an unfathomable and profound smile, and said, "I understand, thank you Brother Shui for your guidance." ”

Shui Xuanjin shook his head, he could naturally see that He Yiming didn't really have a dead heart, but it was good for him to touch a nail like this. Only after suffering a loss can you truly remember this lesson.

The carriage finally stopped, and they had already come out of Shao Mingju and entered the royal family of Tianluo Kingdom.

After getting out of the carriage, He Yiming's eyes turned, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the strength of the Tianluo Kingdom was really about to surpass the Huowu Country.

In front of them, the red brick hall stands tall, and the white stone staircase is divided into the left and right sides, and in the middle is a giant dragon of the same staircase, giving people a sense of majesty.

In front of the carriage, it turned out to be the crown prince Yu Xiaoyi who came to greet him in person.

In front of Shui Xuanjin, Yu Xiaoyi didn't have the prince's frame at all, but respectfully treated him as his disciple. After seeing the old man come down, he immediately stepped forward and gently grabbed the old man's arm, his movements were so smooth, it was obviously not the first time he had done this kind of thing.

Shui Xuanjin nodded slightly at him, and there was the old man's doting on his children and grandchildren in his eyes.

After coming into contact with this ray of gaze, He Yiming actually thought of Bao Ye, who was attacking the tenth-layer internal strength in Hejiazhuang with all his strength at this moment, and he didn't know if his old man had successfully succeeded.

Climb the stairs, and soon, you will be in front of the Dragon Pavilion Palace. Looking up, there were four dragons with teeth and claws coiled on the ridge. There is a pearl in the middle of the two dragons. The two dragons looked back, looked at the nearby pearl with greedy eyes, and stretched out their huge claws......

This sculpture of two dragons playing with pearls is so vivid that it can almost be fake.

He Yiming's gaze stayed on it for a moment before retracting it.

In the main hall, the dragon and phoenix dance on the purple and red pillars, carved vividly, vividly, and ready to come out. The four walls of the main hall are colorful and dizzying.

In the main hall, it turned out to be sitting in separate seats according to the ancient rites, and there were already hundreds of seats in the entire hall, and He Yiming glanced at it, and immediately saw that among these people, there were also two people, Uncle He Quanxin and He Yitian.

He was slightly stunned in his heart, it was indeed a bit unexpected that he could come here as them.

He Quanxin's father and son nodded slightly to He Yiming, but sat in the back seat and did not step forward.

He Yiming also nodded slightly, but his gaze didn't linger too much on them, because he had already seen the innate powerhouse sitting on a seat in the main hall.

Every innate powerhouse is different, and they all have their own temperament. The innate powerhouse sitting in the main hall at this moment is a man with a strong sense of existence.

He sat calmly in a corner of the main hall like this, but after anyone entered the main hall, the first thing they saw and felt seemed to be the middle-aged man in this corner.

He wears a rare set of crimson robes, like a huge light bulb, emitting infinite light and heat, reminding everyone's attention all the time.

It was the first time He Yiming had seen such a person who unscrupulously maintained his momentum at such a height.

However, after sensing his momentum, He Yiming also had to admit that this person did have arrogant qualifications. Because the aura sensed from him is so powerful that it is absolutely unique in his life. Even if it was the three innate powerhouses that He Yiming had encountered, it seemed that they were inferior.

Although this person's appearance looks middle-aged, He Yiming has long heard Xue Lie say that this person's real age is close to more than 100 years old.

It's just that for a congenital powerhouse, this age is not very big, if nothing else, then he has at least a hundred years of life.

Shui Xuanjin and He Yiming entered the hall almost at the same time, and the moment they entered the hall, this person immediately opened his eyes.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and a powerful innate true qi filled his eyes, and his fierce gaze slashed like a blade.

Yu Xiaoyi, who was supporting the old man, accidentally raised his eyes, and when he touched this gaze, he suddenly felt that his eyes were tingling, as if he had been pricked by a needle.

He didn't know in his heart, knowing that this was a contest at the level of an innate powerhouse, and he was just an unlucky ghost who was caught up in the whirlpool.

Although he immediately closed his eyes, this uncomfortable feeling did not fade immediately, and the two lines of tears immediately slid down his handsome face.

He Yiming's face was slightly gloomy, he stepped forward, and actually grabbed ahead of Shui Xuanjian, raised his hands, and suddenly sealed.

Ten fingers intertwined, as if there was suddenly a strange whirlpool in his hand, the palm of his hand shook like a big drum, and an invisible and colorless true qi instantly popped out.

When he dealt with Lu Xinwen, the true qi stimulated by him was not yet silent and invisible, but after reading the original copy of the Voldemort seal and the ** seal, he made subtle improvements to his sealing method, and the needle-shaped true qi stimulated by the Tibetan needle seal was not only three points more powerful, but also more difficult to detect and dodge.

Cheng Fu's face changed slightly, he was tempted just now, but he didn't really make a move. But he didn't expect that the other party would immediately start fighting without saying a word, which was too lacking in the demeanor of an innate powerhouse.

He snorted coldly and stretched out his hand, the clothes he was wearing were wide and fat, especially a pair of sleeves, which were far beyond a large margin.

At this moment, when he stretched out his hand, the sleeve suddenly turned into a sea of red, meeting He Yiming's needle-shaped true qi.

A crisp sound suddenly sounded in the hall, as if gold and stone were clashing, crisp and pleasant.

He Yiming's eyes raised slightly, and then he heard Shui Xuanjin's voice sounding behind him: "Brother Jiuwencheng's long robe is made of fire silk and steel wire taken from the active volcano, although it is not a treasure, but even if it is a treasure, it is difficult to hurt. Now that I see it, it really deserves its name. ”

He Yiming's heart moved slightly, knowing that Shui Xuanjian's words were for himself.

If you fight with Cheng Fu empty-handed, then when you don't know the details of this long shirt, you will inevitably suffer a big loss.

Cheng Fu stood up slowly, he looked at Shui Xuanjin quietly, and after a while, he said: "Brother Shui has won the prize, a small long shirt is really not as good as Brother Shui's eyes." ”

Shui Xuanjin smiled slightly, reached out and gently rubbed Yu Xiaoyi's temples a few times, Yu Xiaoyi let out a sigh of relief and opened her eyes. Although his eyes are still a little red and swollen, he is fine.

He bowed his head and said softly, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Shui Xuanjin pressed his hand, and then entered the seat that had been prepared long ago with He Yiming.

When he was seated, the old man chuckled and said, "Brother He, thank you for your help." ”

He Yiming smiled awkwardly and said, "This is him who cut my face, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

As soon as Cheng Fu entered the main hall in Shui Xuanjin, he immediately provoked without scrutiny, clearly wanting to force Shui Xuanjin to make a move.

He Yiming knew that Shui Xuanjin's physical condition was definitely not suitable for being an enemy with a master of the same level, so he immediately took the first step, but how could this mind hide from the old and immortal Shui Xuanjin.

The two of them glanced at each other, they both knew it in their chests, the old and the young all had the feeling of seeing each other late, especially He Yiming, once he thought that the other party's life was not long, maybe only a few years, his heart couldn't help but be slightly sour.

Some people, who have only met once, are like friends for many years, and they talk very speculatively. But there are also people, even if they see each other every day, they are strangers.

The relationship between people is definitely the most elusive thing in the world, and it is also unreasonable.

Even He Yiming himself is a little strange, what he did was indeed a little irrational. It's just that if you have to think about the consequences in everything, then life is too boring.

In the next seat of Cheng Fu, there are two handsome men and women, they look no more than twenty years old, their looks are somewhat similar, but they have a graceful and luxurious atmosphere, which makes people dare not look at them.

When He Yiming's gaze fell on the two of them, the two of them bowed slightly at the same time.

Although the identities of these two are noble, in front of the innate powerhouse, they are not willing to be rude, and they are not willing to inexplicably provoke the disgust of the innate powerhouse because of a little thing.

A crisp bell rang leisurely, and then an old man dressed in fine clothes walked in from the apse, surrounded by several people.

When he appeared in the main hall, except for the three innate powerhouses, everyone in the hall stood up, including the two young men and women. It's just that, unlike the others, these two just bent down to greet them.

The old man did not sit down immediately, but took the lead in front of Shui Xuanjin, and said apologetically: "Uncle, these are Master Cheng Fu from Kairong, as well as His Royal Highness the Third Prince and the Fifth Princess, they all want to see you no matter what, so I have to work hard for your master, and I ask my uncle to forgive me." ”

Shui Xuanjin smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, it is also my honor to be able to meet the Kairong royal family and the master of protecting the country, you are so careful." ”

He Yiming naturally knew that this was Yu Ruipei, the contemporary king of Tianluo Kingdom, but he didn't expect that with the respect of His Majesty the King, he would have such respect for Shui Xuanjin. But after thinking about it, it suddenly became clear that Shui Xuanjin was the fateful friendship of previous generations of kings, and almost lived in the capital of Tianluo in the second half of his life.

After Yu Ruipei saw Shui Xuanjian, his eyes fell on He Yiming's body, and he immediately smiled sincerely, and said, "Master He, it is really a blessing for my country to be able to invite you." ”

He Yiming bent down slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you are too complimentary." ”

When facing the lord of a country, He Yiming can't be as calm and arrogant as Shui Xuanjin. After all, people are more than 200 years old here, and in comparison, He Yiming, who is only sixteen years old, has much weaker confidence.

Yu Ruipei did not entangle with He Yiming too much, he then greeted the three distinguished guests of Kairong Kingdom, and then ordered to serve drinks and dishes, as well as singing and dancing. After a while, the atmosphere in the stadium suddenly became lively.

This time, those who were able to come to the main hall to accompany them were all famous figures in the Tianluo Kingdom, and they represented the top existence of this country.

As He Yiming, he should have lived alone, but when he and Shui Xuanjin insisted on sitting together, no one had the courage to raise an objection.

During the banquet, He Yiming could often feel a burning gaze glancing towards their seat, which was like substance, as if he wanted to see through their seat. However, the strange thing is that there is no hostility and provocation in such an unscrupulous gaze, it just makes him feel extremely depressed.

His brows furrowed slightly, and He Yiming said softly: "Brother Shui, what does that Cheng Fu want to do?"

Shui Xuanjin smiled and said, "He wants to see if the old man is really as rumored." ”

He Yiming was stunned and said, "Didn't he see it?"

Shui Xuanjin smiled and said: "Of course, I don't see that unless it is a real hands-on battle, the old man is sitting here, and who dares to despise it." ”

He Yiming opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Shui Xuanjin smiled and said, "But it's strange to say, when I first met you, I could feel that you had already seen my physical discomfort." Could it be that you have cultivated some strange exercises?"

He Yiming smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Shui, I can't hide it, I didn't practice any strange exercises, but I could sense that life seemed to be passing away in your body, so I showed such an expression at that time." ”

Shui Xuanjin looked surprised, shook his head and sighed, and said, "It turns out that he is talented, which is really enviable." ”

He Yiming knew that this keen feeling must be related to the adventure at the bottom of the lake that day.

Suddenly, Shui Xuanjin's helpless sigh came into his ears: "Cheng Fu has not seen through my reality today, I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future, it is really a headache." ”

He Yiming looked at his sad face, and a strong emotion suddenly surged in his heart, wanting to inherit the position of the protector master, but when the words came to his mouth, he finally controlled it, but there was an unknown emotion in his heart.
