Chapter 2 The Gift of the Birthday Banquet

In the past two days, everyone was busy the day before, or putting on lights, or cleaning the courtyard, or preparing side rooms, preparing for Shen Qingtian's birthday banquet, but Shen Xian didn't see anyone, Shen Qingtian estimated that he was hiding in the refining room to play with things, and only sighed and didn't say much. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Yuqing'er wanted to find it, but Mu Ren stopped her, if Shen Xian came back at this time, it would inevitably be another pause. Mu people advised Yu Qing'er to ignore it for the time being, and just do the things in front of her well.

The big guy prepared everything the first day, and there was nothing to do all night, and everyone seemed to be used to not going home for three days, and no one asked. Yu Qing'er remembered Mu Ren's words and didn't go to Shen Xian, but she was always worried in her heart, and she couldn't sleep at night, so she came to the yard to stroll.

The starry night was cold, and Yu Qing'er looked at the starry sky with her hands on her cheeks and was stunned. She is in her prime, and she was born beautifully, but at this moment, there is a wisp of sorrow between her eyebrows, which is particularly moving.

"Senior sister, haven't you slept yet?" There was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and the figure of Mu Ren slowly appeared in front of Yu Qing'er. Mu was born handsome and tall, and in terms of qualifications, he was the best among Shen Qingtian's disciples. He was twenty years old, and many people had asked matchmakers to come over to say goodbye, but he was unwilling. Everyone, including Shen Xian, knew that what he liked was his little sister Yu Qing'er.

"Senior brother, you didn't sleep either?" Yu Qing'er's big watery eyes looked even more beautiful in the starlight, and Mu Ren was stunned. After a while, he smiled and said, "I practice boxing, and I may sleep late." But tomorrow is the master's birthday, I won't delay, you don't have to worry. ”

"I'm not worried about Senior Brother!" Yu Qing'er smiled, "Senior Brother is so powerful, I'm not worried!" but Senior Brother Shen ......" Yu Qing'er said this with a slightly worried look, "He is helpless, he should be very lonely now, right? I don't know when he will come back? Will he come back tomorrow for Master's birthday?"

Mu Ren looked at Yu Qing'er's face, a touch of loss flashed, and then he smiled stunnedly: "Little junior sister, don't worry, although Senior Brother Shen is stubborn, but he won't lose his manners, he will definitely come back tomorrow!"

"Well, it's still Senior Brother who understands him!" Yu Qing'er smiled at Mu Ren, "I'm not worried, I'll go to sleep!" As she spoke, Yu Qing'er jumped away. Mu Ren wanted to say something, but the words stopped when they came to their mouths.

Helpless, the real helpless is me! Mu Ren clenched his fists, raised his eyes to look at the stars in the sky, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Early the next morning, as soon as everyone in the martial arts hall got up, Shen Qingtian's friends came to congratulate him on his birthday. Shen Qingtian instructed his disciples to set up the table and lead the guests to the hall to drink tea for a while. After a while, a few friends from the rivers and lakes came, and they were all invited into the courtyard to sit down, and the invited cooks had to start getting busy early. By noon, the courtyard was already full of people, some of whom were heroes whom Shen Qingtian had met when he was young, and who had not had a deep friendship, but who had come all the way to make friends; some were Shen Qingtian's best friends, such as several disciples of Tiangangmen and a big man called "Nine Pattern Dragons", and so on; some were neighbors who were familiar with each other in the town, or villagers who came from neighboring towns and wanted their children to apprentice. In general, Shen Qingtian has a lot of face, and this birthday banquet looks very lively.

"Xian'er, haven't you come back yet?" Shen Qingtian stood at the door to greet the distinguished guests, looked at the sky and asked the people around him.

"Master, the young master hasn't come back yet, do you want the little one to find it?"

"No, the hour is almost up, if he doesn't want to come back, that's it!" Shen Qingtian said, seeing that no one on the street came again, turned around and entered the martial arts hall, walked to the front of the court, and smiled at the people seated: "Today is Shen's fiftieth birthday, thanks to everyone's love, come here without tireless journey, Shen is grateful!" Shen Qingtian bowed to everyone, and said, "Today, everyone will drink and eat well, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

"Congratulations to Brother Shen!" everyone raised their glasses in unison. At this time, a man dressed as a scholar stood up, walked up to Shen Qingtian with a jade box in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, I miss it very much! Today is your birthday, you should accept this small gift!" Shen Qingtian raised his eyebrows and said happily: "This, this is the 'Dragon Elephant Pill'?"

"Brother Shen has good eyesight, this is the low-grade Dragon Elephant Pill recently refined by the family teacher, which is quite beneficial to Brother Shen's cultivation!" the scholar smiled and closed the jade box and handed it to Shen Qingtian. Shen Qingtian thanked himself, drank a glass of wine with the scholar, and invited him to take a seat.

Then several of Shen Qingtian's friends offered birthday gifts one after another, most of them were elixirs that organized the meridians, healed injuries and diseases, and some gave exquisite jewelry, but they were all utensils that could only be viewed, after all, the consumption of refining artifacts was too large, and it was not something that ordinary people could take.

"Hmph, what you give can also be called a birthday gift? Don't you underestimate our brothers?" a bearded man suddenly stood up and sneered.

"It turned out to be the 'Nine Pattern Dragon' brother, what do you mean by this? You don't like what we give, could it be that there is a better birthday gift?" the scholar asked with a smile as he sat down. These people all know the temper of this "nine-striped dragon", so they are all smiling and not angry.

The "Nine-Patterned Dragon" sneered again, ignored the scholar, walked up to Shen Qingtian, bowed down, and said, "Brother, brother, I have a birthday gift, it's not as good as those 'balls'!"

"I said brute, what are you doing, we haven't seen what is in this box yet, why did you close it? Isn't the thing in your box unsightly? Could it be really a 'ball'?" The scholar laughed on the side, and the people in the courtyard laughed, everyone knew the character and net worth of this "nine-striped dragon", and the things in the box were not outstanding, but he liked to fiddle with publicity, so he deliberately made these famous.

"Hmph, they all say that your 'white-faced judge' nose is as dog-like as your master, and it seems that it is only in vain!" The nine-patterned dragon stuffed the box into Shen Qingtian's hand, turned his face sideways and sneered at the scholar.

When the scholar heard this, his nose trembled, he took a breath, his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed, "This, this is, 'Enlightenment Pill'?"

"Enlightenment Pill?" The knowledgeable people present were all shocked when they heard these three words.

The nine-tattooed dragon looked at the expressions of these people, smiled proudly, and said: "This is what I got from the 'Master Qingyi' not long ago, originally I went to him to learn Buddhism, and by the way, I asked him for a birthday gift, hehe, I didn't expect to be seen by me this 'Enlightenment Pill'." He was going to leave it to his own apprentice, and I begged a few times to no avail, but then an old man came and said a few words, and Master Qingyi handed over this 'Enlightenment Divine Pill' to me and asked me to pass it on to my brother, hahaha, how about it, can you take my nine-pattern dragon?"

Everyone listened to the nine-pattern dragon laughing, and it took a while to come back to their senses, although they didn't know what this "Enlightenment Pill" was, but when they heard the name of "Master Qingyi", they all felt that this thing was extraordinary, and they congratulated Shen Qingtian one after another.

Shen Qingtian's face was happy, and he patted the shoulder of the nine-patterned dragon a few times and said, "Good brother, good brother, come, brother and you have three drinks!" As he spoke, he took the wine glass, filled it with good wine, and drank three glasses with the nine-patterned dragon.

Yu Qing'er and several disciples who were sitting on the side looked at Shen Qingtian blankly, they had never seen Shen Qingtian so happy, and they didn't know what the "Enlightenment Pill" was.

Yu Qing'er pulled the corner of Mu Ren's clothes beside her and asked, "Senior brother, what is that Enlightenment Divine Pill?"

Mu Ren looked back at Yu Qing'er, no one noticed his strange expression, not even Yu Qing'er.

"The Enlightenment Pill is a kind of pill that can help cultivators improve their realm and break through the bottleneck, in general, it is also divided into four grades: lower, middle, upper and best like other pills, but the degree of cherishment is comparable to that of a divine weapon! Even a major sect like Tiangangmen has a few Enlightenment Pills at most, I really didn't expect that the nine-patterned dragon got one, and I don't know if he had a problem with his head, so he used it as a congratulatory gift?" Mu Ren said, sighing, very sorry.

"Back then, the master saved the life of the nine-patterned dragon, and the nine-patterned dragon always wanted to repay this kindness. It's just that he didn't expect that he didn't use the Enlightenment Divine Pill himself, but he used it to congratulate the master on his birthday!" Yu Qing'er nodded and said, "It seems that this nine-patterned dragon is really a hero!"

Just when Yu Qing'er was praising the nine-patterned dragon, a person suddenly crashed into the door. The figure took a few steps to the front of the court, leaning down and kneeling in front of Shen Qingtian.

"Dad!" the person called out and raised his head, but it was Shen Qingtian's only son, Shen Xian.

"Dad, the child is coming back late!" Shen Xian saluted his father and said, "Today is Daddy's birthday, and the child also has a birthday gift for Daddy!" As he spoke, he took down a silver dagger from his waist, held it with both hands, and continued, "This is a dagger refined by the child, and it has no name for the time being, but it is a low-grade weapon!"

"Oh?" Everyone present looked at the short sword that Shen Xian was holding, the sword was sharp, the silver light swayed, judging from the color, it was a low-grade silver weapon, which was worth a lot!

"This, this is what you refined?" Shen Qingtian was a little surprised, according to reason, Shen Xian's refining qualifications are ordinary, and he has never heard that he can refine low-grade weapons, it can be said that they have long believed that Shen Xian will not be successful in this regard, but today he suddenly held this blade, which inevitably surprised and doubted him. It's just that he saw Shen Xian's gray face again, his clothes were also tattered, and there was a smell of metal all over his body, and he believed Shen Xian's words in his heart.

"Dad, this is indeed what I refined, you see!" Shen Xian said, picked up the short sword, turned around and waved at a locust tree in the courtyard, a silver light suddenly crossed the trunk, and then there was a "ding" sound, and I saw a sword mark left on the trunk, and a little silver sword head was nailed to the trunk.

Shen Xian put a little bit on the hilt of the sword, as if he had pressed some mechanism, and the sword head was withdrawn, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a short sword again, and he held it and dedicated it to Shen Qingtian.

"Oh, it's really my brother's doing!" Yu Qing'er exclaimed in surprise, unconsciously took out the short wooden sword that Shen Xian gave her, and performed again. Now everyone understands that the short sword is really made by Shen Xian, and Shen Xian doesn't know when he has entered the palace of refining, which is different from practicing martial arts, and entering the hall means that Shen Xian is very likely to become a master of refining weapons in the future!

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Everyone present congratulated Shen Qingtian, Shen Qingtian had never been so happy as today, took the short sword in Shen Xian's hand, inserted it in his waist, hugged Shen Xian, and said a few words "good" again and again, even ignoring the brocade box containing the "Enlightenment Pill" in his hand.

For Shen Qingtian, there was nothing in this world that made him happier than Shen Xian being able to learn a craft.

Everyone was happy, except for the Muslims.

He stared blankly at the short wooden sword held in Yu Qing'er's hand and the happy look on her face, and then at Shen Xian, no one noticed that he unconsciously clenched his fists.
