Chapter 22: The Great Birthday of the City Lord
Lu Zheng and the monster in the clouds wandered around Xiangyun City for a day, and because the city lord's birthday was approaching, the streets and alleys were a lot quieter. The pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info just the situation of the gas field between the Taoist cultivator and the demon cultivator, and it has not decreased, but it has changed from slashing with a knife to snorting and rolling their eyes at each other.
Unexpectedly, Lan Buregret did not take the initiative to seek revenge, and Lu Zheng did not believe that the city lord's yellow paper could hinder that person's wishes. It's just that there is one less Lan who does not regret it, but there are hundreds of Dao cultivators and demon cultivators who are ready to go, one by one, with wolf-like shining eyes, and follow Lu Zheng and the monster in the clouds all the way, either brightly or secretly.
Lu Zheng guessed that in this Xiangyun City, the news that he had spiritual martial arts must have caused a storm in the city, and as soon as the ban on martial arts passed, there would be trouble coming to the door.
In this regard, Lu Zheng didn't care about it, except for his daily movements, he didn't go out, he devoted himself to cultivation, and made small improvements. After accidentally watching a battle between Dao Xiu and Demon Xiu with dishes and chopsticks, he actually touched the heartstrings, and Xiu Wei vaguely had the posture of impacting a one-star martial artist.
In the evening of this day, Lu Zheng and Yunzhongwei took a walk after dinner, but they were stopped by a running black-clothed guard on the street.
"Please stay, this is an invitation signed by the city lord of my family personally, and I hereby invite you to the city lord's mansion to attend tomorrow's evening birthday banquet. β
There were a lot of people around who followed Lu Zheng, and when they heard this, they looked at each other, and looked at Lu Zheng with a little more caution in their eyes.
Lu Zheng and the monster in the clouds glanced at each other, and there was a trace of doubt in the eyes of both the master and apprentice, one thought that he had barely seen a few living people in the short time since he crossed over, and the other thought that he was mysterious and unpredictable, and no one knew what he was capable of. So why did the city lord of Xiangyun City invite the two of them to the birthday banquet for no reason? Could it be that this city lord also listened to the rumors and wanted to snatch the legendary spiritual martial arts?
However, the heart magic trick has planted seeds in Lu Zheng's sea of knowledge, and it has merged with Lu Zheng's soul, and whoever wants to snatch it will kill him.
Suddenly, Lu Zheng and the others looked at the black-clothed guards with the eyes of class enemies.
The guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a "grunt", and involuntarily took a few steps back, before explaining: "You don't have to worry too much, my city lord doesn't value spiritual martial arts. β
As soon as the guard's words fell, there was a sneer all around, and someone muttered in a low voice: "Ghost only believes!"
The black-clothed guard's face twitched a little, and when he saw Lu Zheng's master and apprentice's expressions as usual, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "My city lord has a saying, there are few people in the world who can get out of trouble smoothly from the ghost crying prison. Since the two of them can get out of prison and incite a group of animals to rebel collectively, they are probably not ordinary people. β
The implication was that the city lord was interested in the two of them, so he wanted to meet them.
"This Xiangyun City Lord is really omniscient and unfathomable. Lu Zheng sighed, and he had a trace of curiosity about the city lord of Xiangyun City who he had never met. In a place like the Ghost Crying Prison, there shouldn't still be embarrassing news spreading around, how did the city lord of Xiangyun City, who was thousands of miles away, know about it?
Hearing this, the black-clothed guard had a complicated expression, hugged his fist, pressed the invitation in his hand into Lu Zheng's arms, turned around and left in a hurry.
Lu Zheng saw that the other party was in a hurry, and thought that he had invisibly offended the other party, otherwise why didn't the other party dare to look at his face?
Later, Lu Zheng realized that the people were completely ashamed! The so-called city lord was completely different from what he imagined.
Lu Zheng looked down at the purple gold invitation in his arms.
As soon as the delicate invitation card was opened, a few polite official clichΓ©s appeared in front of him, and there was a ghost-like signature behind it, Tang Yu.
A soft white light flashed, and a roll of paper fell off the invitation. Lu Zheng glanced at it and found that it was a relatively shallow pointing map.
"Master, what do you see here?" Lu Zheng asked the monster in the clouds.
Yun Zhongwei stroked the beard on his chin, glanced at the greedy cultivators around him, turned his eyes to look at Lu Zheng, and said dryly: "Since the city lord has invited us, we are guests from afar, so we should naturally go." β
Lu Zheng nodded, and also felt that it would be a good choice to go to the City Lord's Mansion.
Seeing that the sky was approaching, the master and apprentice simply set off immediately and slowly moved towards the direction pointed on the map.
Before the night banquet began, Lu Zheng and the others finally followed the map to bypass most of Xiangyun City and successfully arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
Looking at the City Lord's Mansion in front of him, which obviously belonged to the tallest building in Xiangyun City, Lu Zheng really wanted to pull out the person who drew the map behind him and beat him up, the lines were crooked, pointing to the confusion, at this level, he was embarrassed to come out to paint?
"I think eighty percent of this map was drawn by the city lord Xiao'er!"
"Twisted like this, this skill, there is indeed no one else except the city lord. I just don't know if more than half of the guests have taken a detour because of the map this year. β
Not far away, two young men dressed in the same cyan suits bowed their heads and talked to each other, and their voices faintly reached Lu Zheng's ears.
Lu Zheng listened to it for a while, and secretly thought, feeling that the city lord of Xiangyun City is a child control, and the city lord is willing to let his younger son mess around with such a big event. I can't say that the immature signature at the end of the invitation is a masterpiece belonging to the city lord's child.
"The birthday banquet is about to begin, please take your seats. β
In the depths of the palatial mansion, a shout carrying a real wind broke the whispers of conversation outside the mansion.
Everyone's bodies shook, and they all straightened their clothes and strode in.
Lu Zheng and the cloud monster hung at the end of the line, quiet all the way, and soon were ushered into a table in the corner by the servants.
The people at the table, you look at me, I look at you, there are Taoist cultivators, demon cultivators, and scattered cultivators, and suddenly no one looks at anyone pleasing to the eye, sneering and sneering, and his eyes flying, in such a weird atmosphere, Lu Zheng simply raised his head and stared at the vacant high position in the field. I also want to know that it is the position of Tang Yu, the owner of Dashou and the city lord of Xiangyun City.
"The city lord has arrived!"
Without making the guests wait long, the voices that had been chanted before began to sing and cheer again.
As a steady and powerful footsteps approached, Lu Zheng saw a tall and imposing man coming in disbelief.
This person is not outstanding, but his eyes are deep and dark, and the whole person is like a hard rock that has been baptized by countless years, and his whole body has a natural momentum, and the coercion of the superior swept the audience.
Lu Zheng thought that the city lord of Xiangyun City was quite extraordinary.
But immediately after, I saw this extraordinary "city lord" bow his head and turn sideways, letting a jade-crowned boy who was no more than his waist and abdomen height behind him.
The tall man bowed slightly, picked up the boy and placed him on the throne, while he himself stood behind the boy with his head bowed.
The cultivators who were invited by the local people of Xiangyun City immediately stood up, clasped their fists and shouted: "City Lord Wanfu, mighty Kangtai!"
Lu Zheng's mouth opened wide and his jaw almost dropped. He never thought that the city lord of Xiangyun City would be a little kid who looked less than ten years old!
