Chapter Twenty-Three: Restless Kindness
The palatial city lord's mansion, a luxurious and restrained open-air banquet. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The city lord of the fart boy with finely carved facial features sat in a high position, raised his head with his chest straight, his expression was very young and old, and he said slowly in a dragging tone: "Today is the tenth birthday of the city lord, and it is also a celebration of the promotion of the city lord to the nine stars of the monk, and the double happiness is celebrated, so we invite distinguished guests." You don't have to be restrained today, but drink with the lord of the city. ”
With that, Tang Yu picked up a glass of fruit wine on the table in front of him, got up and waved his sleeves to most of the guests who didn't know him.
Everyone immediately got up, raised their glasses, and blessed them with real or false intentions, and drank them all in one gulp.
Lu Zheng and Yun Zhongwei sat in the corner of the banquet, followed Daliu to get up and toast, and then sat down, and did not talk to the cultivators at the same table, they should eat and drink.
Tang Yu smiled, turned his head and said to the tall man behind him: "Today's city lord is very happy, but unfortunately his physical strength is limited, so you will arrange it next, deputy city lord." ”
After saying that, Tang Yu half-squinted and leaned on the back of the wide chair with his arms folded. That leisurely and casual state that cannot be ignored really makes people think that he is watching a play, not attending his birthday party.
The deputy city lord Meng Ao bowed down respectfully and promised.
After a while, there was a crisp high-five from the high position, and suddenly there was a graceful woman in a graceful light dress rushing in, raising the drum and beating the strings, playing the piano and plucking the strings, like the Nine Heavens Immortal, flying and dancing.
Silk and bamboo orchestras, fairy dances, and delicacies are all refreshing.
Lu Zheng picked a vermilion spirit fruit and put it in his mouth. The spirit fruit is fragrant, the entrance is like a red dragon fruit, the taste is sweet, and it still has a bit of aura to infiltrate the heart, and the heart is suddenly clear.
Lu Zheng drank another glass of spirit wine, which was also beneficial.
Laughter gradually came out of the banquet, and the atmosphere was harmonious, but there was still a clear distinction between Dao cultivation and demon cultivation, and there was also a kind of person who was sandwiched between Dao and Demon cultivation and had his own faction, that is, an intermediate force such as the city lord Tang Yu.
Most of these three groups of forces hold their own identities and watch out for each other, but they talk to each other but do not deliberately suppress them, Lu Zheng was forced to listen to a lot of secrets. For example, the head of the sect and the concubine of the dozens of houses just gave birth to a big fat boy, but unfortunately the child has no talent and is incompetent in cultivation. Another example is which mountain has frequent visions that are worth seeing.
"I heard that the south has not been peaceful lately, and as long as the cultivators from outside walk in, few of them come out alive. Even if they come out alive, they become insane and completely ruined. ”
"I've heard that some strange beast mountain spirits are vying to move south, and the beast tide is continuous, and visions are falling from the sky, and there are probably strange treasures born there. ”
"But I have heard that the southern side of the earth is broken, and the evil spirit is overflowing, and there will be great calamity. ”
Lu Zheng was fascinated by what he was hearing, but there was a sight in the distance that could not be ignored. Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked, the owner of the sight turned out to be today's ten-year-old birthday star Tang Yu.
In the spirit of eating people and having a soft mouth, Lu Zheng's attitude was not bad, he raised his wine glass and toasted in the direction of Tang Yu, but he still divided his ears and continued to listen to the gossip at the same table.
Tang Yu grinned, with a faint expression of interest on the face of the young man, and then, he actually walked in front of Lu Zheng in person, opened his mouth and smiled: "You are Lu Zheng, I heard that you have spiritual martial arts?"
Tang Yu is the protagonist of tonight's banquet, and his movements are naturally seen by everyone present, and as soon as he says this, it is naturally almost an announcement from the audience.
Lu Zheng bared his teeth, as soon as he heard Tang Yu speak, he felt that the other party was uneasy and kind, and his previous curiosity about this mysterious city lord was all broken, and he only felt that this person was also like the treacherous Mrs. Menyan who was a type who had nothing to do.
Facing the greedy or suspicious gazes around him, Lu Zheng coughed, his expression was very calm, he sat firmly on the bench, pouted and raised his head: "The city lord said that he laughed, Lu Zheng's ability is just a little inheritance in the sect, it is indeed a little unique, but it is not enough to reach the level of spiritual martial arts." ”
Lu Zheng's words were tantamount to a slap in the face, and there was a sound of gasping on the scene.
Tang Yu said that he was a loose cultivator, so he claimed to have a sect, said that he had spiritual martial arts, and he said that this was a sect inheritance.
Meng Ao, the deputy city lord who followed closely behind Tang Yu, turned a little dark, and looked at Lu Zheng with a bit of sharpness in his eyes.
Lu Zheng didn't care, and ignored it.
Like Tang Yu, who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, he still pretends to be innocent, he has seen a lot. He has also seen a lot of people like Meng Ao who are self-respecting and self-reliant. But so what? Lu Zheng believed that one day, he would stand in a higher position than Tang Yu and gain more strength than Meng Ao. So now, it's not worth being angry at all.
After all, Tang Yu was only ten years old, and when he saw Lu Zheng's posture of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, no matter how old he was, he was a little unbreathable, and he always felt that his authority had been challenged.
"Huh. I hope that after tomorrow, you can be so calm. Tang Yu sneered, and the ill-intentioned in his eyes was undisguised.
Tomorrow is the last day of the three-day ban on martial arts, and I believe that as soon as the ban is lifted, these cultivators, who are accustomed to licking blood from the knife's edge, will rush to snatch the legendary spiritual martial arts with all their might. At that time, Lu Zheng, a small monk Jiuxing, had no power to resist at all.
"Hehe, the city lord will wait and see. As if he couldn't understand Tang Yu's cynicism, Lu Zheng arched his hand at Tang Yu, and returned with a smile without smiling, still sitting still.
Tang Yu gritted his teeth, immediately waved his hand, and left with Meng Ao. But before leaving, this person suddenly turned around and leaned into Lu Zheng's ear, as if he had just remembered, and whispered in a slightly exaggerated tone: "Oh, I forgot to tell you." ”
"The master behind the Devil's Cry prison is my cousin. My future cousin-in-law is really taken care of. It's a pity that my cousin didn't come because of something this time. Hehe. ”
Lu Zheng dared to guarantee that Tang Yu's last hehe was definitely not friendly.
The host of the banquet left the venue early, and the rest of the guests either did not agree with each other or had a deep hatred of blood, you cut my demon cultivation master, I cut your Taoist fiancée, and immediately got up and quickly left the venue under various excuses.
Lu Zheng and Yun Zhongwei walked at the end of the crowd as usual, and as soon as they walked to a quiet garden, they saw two big men pulling and pulling, and gradually their words escalated, turning into a fierce quarrel.
The surrounding guests who had not yet completely withdrawn, when they saw this scene, they either secretly rubbed and stopped their steps like Lu Zheng's master and apprentice, peeked and eavesdropped openly, or they had a straight expression and turned disrespectful and sped away.
The two male protagonists in the other side were immersed in their own world, and they didn't notice that a large number of shiny "light bulbs" had gathered around them.
Coincidentally, one of the male protagonists is the object of Lu Zheng's first use of the heart magic trick, the shirtless man Zhao Ying.
