Zhou Lu walked out of the deep and narrow Wuyi Stone Cave, found a small teleportation array, and a ray of light teleported back to his stone house. Carefully changed into a new clothes, and patted his fat face against the light jade wall, feeling quite energetic, then he squeaked and pushed open the stone door and walked out.
Today's celebration in the restaurant is specially held for the twenty of them, I heard that the previous powerhouses of the temple will come, and there will be many high-ranking figures of the major forces in Purgatory City, taking this opportunity, you can meet many people, and you will know more big people, and walking in Purgatory City in the future will be much smoother.
Therefore, for such a celebration, Zhou Lu is very much looking forward to it.
In the valley outside, the sky was slightly dark, and the green trees and flowers obliquely covered the stone path, and the road brushed past the flowers and trees to the adjacent stone house and knocked softly.
After a while, Mo Qingsleeve pushed open the door and walked out wearing a brocade silk long skirt, and Zhou Lu's eyes suddenly changed
On Mo's light-sleeved long skirt, dark brown silk threads are embroidered on the fabric to create strange and strong branches, and the peach-colored silk threads embroider plum blossoms one by one, plum blossoms extend from the skirt to the waist, and a dark purple belt tightens the thin waist, showing the slender figure even more.
Mo Qing's sleeves look bright and unbelievable when he dresses up a little.
Zhou Lu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and sighed: "It's so beautiful, I won't get tired of watching it in my life."
Mo Qingsleeve gave Zhou Lu a sweet look.
Over there, Guan Dongyang, who was dressed in sackcloth, was pushing open the door, and when he heard this sentence in one foot in the door and one foot outside the door, seeing Zhou Lu's flirting and scolding appearance, Guan Dongyang was embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know whether it was better to come out or go in, he coughed vigorously, reminded that there were still outsiders over there, and then walked over with a smile.
Mo lightly concealed his sleeves behind Zhou Lu, and secretly twisted it the waist of the grinning fat man in annoyance.
"The celebratory feast is about to begin in a moment, let's go. ”
Guan Dongyang looked at Zhou Lu and the two with a smile, in his heart, such a sweet little couple is much more real than those who are bent on killing and only know how to pursue the way of heaven without distractions. Guan Dongyang only has envy for Zhou Lu and the two.
The three of them laughed and walked side by side towards the outside of the mountain.
"Who will come over today?" Zhou Lu asked casually.
Guan Dongyang pondered for a moment and replied:
"Most of the disciples involved in secular things in our temple, including district supervisors, workshop owners, stokers, soldiers, and punishments, should be there, and the rest are representatives of various forces in the city, chambers of commerce, workshops, mines, and furnaces, I'm afraid there won't be hundreds. ”
"So lively?"
Zhou Lu said with a smile: "There are so many people, I'm afraid that there won't be a lot of trouble when socializing, and I can't remember who did what for a while." ”
The celebration party held by the Reincarnation Trading Pavilion for him and Mo Qingsleeve was very lively, and looking at it like this, today's scene will be even hotter than that day.
Guan Dongyang's expression was a little strange, he glanced at Zhou Lu, who was full of interest, shook his head with a wry smile, and stopped talking:
"Zhou Lu, today's scene, I'm afraid it's not what you imagined......"
Zhou Luzheng turned around and asked Mo Qingsleeve what she had practiced these days, she didn't listen to Guan Dongyang's words too clearly, and Guan Dongyang didn't say it anymore, the three of them walked quickly all the way, and finally walked out of Fengshen Mountain and entered the city street, Guan Dongyang led the way, walked on the bustling street, walked out of a few streets, and at the corner of the densely populated street, a magnificent restaurant stood tall.
There is a disciple of the temple at the door of the restaurant, guiding the visitors to take their seats upstairs.
Guan Dongyang led Zhou Lu and Mo Qingsleeve over. This session is with the first champion of the previous session, and it is difficult not to attract attention.
One of the leading disciples at the door ran over quickly, greeted with a smile on his face, and asked the three of them to go directly to the hall on the third floor.
The respect of the disciples made Zhou Lu full of joy, and the three of them went upstairs all the way to the hall on the third floor, and the other disciples who were admitted to the temple today were basically almost there, and they gathered together in a bunch of east and west to chat, and saw Guan Dongyang and Zhou Lu coming up together, and several people took the initiative to come over to say hello.
was admitted to the temple in the same class, so I naturally felt close when I got together.
There are also many people who secretly sneak their eyes to Mo Qingsleeve, and when they look at it, they turn their heads red-faced
The charm of Mo Qingsleeve was so great, Zhou Lu felt funny, pulled Mo Qingsleeve by his side, and talked and laughed with those people who came around.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and two large flaming red lanterns are hung at the gate of the restaurant, and the endless stream of guests6 continues to arrive, and from time to time there are clusters of people walking up to the hall on the third floor, either with a lofty spirit, or with enthusiasm and heartiness, or with a harmonious fortune......
Those are all representatives of the major forces in the city.
There are more and more people on the third floor.
However, Zhou Lu and those disciples who had newly joined the temple gradually felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and the atmosphere here today was very different from what they imagined.
Among the guests who came, many of them noticed Zhou Lu and came over to greet them warmly and say some words of congratulations.
But that's not all.
Compared with the atmosphere that day in the Reincarnation Trading Pavilion, when Zhou Lu was completely the protagonist and everyone was surrounding him, today's greetings from those people had a taste of going through the motions, and there was no real heat from the heart.
Daopan Qi and the others also noticed this strange atmosphere, and their eyebrows gradually condensed.
The bustle in the restaurant is a little different from before, that is, the twenty of them have not become the protagonists they imagined, those guests who congratulate them did not enthusiastically surround them in the middle, those guests talked to each other, nor their achievements in the assessment, those people even looked up at the staircase from time to time, as if they were still waiting for someone.
Zhou Lu and these people were all surprised.
Isn't this banquet held today just for them to celebrate? Why are they standing here with a bit of a dispensable taste?
Zhou Lu pulled Mo Qingsleeve and deliberately shrank to the corner of the hall, alienated from the crowd, but it did not cause any impact, no one paid attention to their small movements, and more people's minds were not on them at all.
Over there, the faces of those disciples of Daopan Seven were all a little depressed. They originally came over with fiery enthusiasm, but who would have thought that at the celebration banquet with them as the protagonists, there would be a cold scene around them from time to time
Zhou Lu and Mo Qingsleeve glanced at each other in surprise.
It's only been three days since the temple assessment, and the embers haven't dispersed, so why are they all gone?
At this moment, there was a sudden low uproar in the hall, and almost all the guests in the hall became hot at the same time, and they swarmed around the staircase, and from the staircase, a strong man with a tiger's back strode up the stairs.
"Inspector Du is here......"
"Inspector Du is so free today, is it out of the customs? I haven't seen Inspector Du for a long time, last month our Chamber of Commerce had a large-scale event to invite Inspector Du to come, but I didn't find you. ”
The people who surrounded the past greeted each other with a mouthful of words, and the Du supervisor walked towards the hall surrounded by everyone while talking and laughing heartily, and in the hall on the third floor, Du Supervisor suddenly became the focus of a qiē, and some of the people around him couldn't greet him, and there were those who wanted to squeeze in from afar.
There is a clear difference between this scene and Zhou Lu's side.
Zhou Lu was a little stunned.
Didn't he say that it was for twenty of them to celebrate, such a scene caught him a little unexpected.
In the crowd, Guan Dongyang walked to the side of Zhou Lu at some point, looked at the people in the distance and whispered: "That Du Inspector is a disciple sent to the city from outside the temple, and he is responsible for the operation of the 14,000 large and small chambers of commerce in the city, and he is extremely powerful. ”
"That'...... So what are we?"
Zhou Lu touched his nose and asked.
Guan Dongyang smiled and said in a low voice:
"You guys, this celebration banquet is held to celebrate your admission to the temple, but the disciples who have always joined the temple are not the protagonists on this day, and being admitted to the temple actually doesn't mean anything, and the ones who are really valued are those who can rush higher on the list of gods. ”
Guan Dongyang Chongdu supervised Nu Nu Nu Mouth:
"That Inspector Du is quite eye-catching in the list, and he was sent to the city to be responsible for the supervision of the Chamber of Commerce by the elders of the temple, and only these powerful temple disciples will be vigorously surrounded by various forces in the city. ”
Guan Dongyang then said:
"Otherwise, if you think about it, just because you are admitted to the temple alone, what does it have to do with those big people who have hands and eyes to the sky and amazing wealth, the temple holds today's celebration, and people are willing to come, isn't it because there will be Du Inspector on this day, and those people will also come. ”
"I see. ”
"It's the list again, and it's how important the list is. ”
Zhou Lu was a little helpless, and asked with a wry smile: "So, Senior Brother also encountered such embarrassment ten years ago." ”
Guan Dongyang nodded: "It's the same experience, so I empathize with your embarrassment." ”
Zhou Lu and Guan Dongyang laughed at the same time.
As the two of them were talking about this, the crowd in the hall whispered again, and there was a person who came up the stairs with a somewhat pale face, but his eyes were like electricity, which made people know at a glance that he was an extremely shrewd cultivator, and this person was seen as soon as he went up the stairs, and a large group of people swarmed around to ask long and short questions.
The man nodded very calmly, talked and dealt with them one by one, and it was also a kind of ability to deal with so many people at once, but behave calmly.
Guan Dongyang whispered beside Zhou Lu: "That's the cold envoy sent out from outside the temple to be in charge of taxes in the city, this person can be said to be the same as Du Inspector, he holds a lot of power, and there are too many people who want to slap him." ”
Zhou Lu nodded: "Is Envoy Leng also the best on the god list?"
Guan Dongyang snorted: "Envoy Leng ranks around 1o6 on the list of gods, and it only took one hundred and fifty years for people to rush to such a high position. In fact, the disciples who are admitted to the temple have two goals in the end, one is to continue to pursue the way of heaven, to be able to enter the domain-level temple, and even enter the general temple to become a higher-level powerhouse, and the other is to enter the world and seek a solid net worth. ”
Guan Dongyang Yin Yin persuaded: "Zhou Lu, work hard, strive to have an amazing appearance in the list, only by attracting the attention of the elders, you will not be so embarrassed to be alone in the future, and you can attract attention wherever you go like them." ”
While speaking, a few more people walked up the stairs, surrounded by delegations from the major forces in the city, the atmosphere was hot and eager, Guan Dongyang whispered to Zhou Lu one by one, those people were all some powerful people in charge of the lifeblood of the city, and they were all people in power sent by the temple to the world.
Knife Plate Seven They finally understood what was going on at this point.
Around them, there would be people who came over to congratulate them with a smile from time to time, but they couldn't compare with those people who supervised Du.
Du Inspector and they also came over to congratulate the twenty people with Zhou Luwei and say some blessings, after all, they are all the same door, and today's business is to hold a celebration banquet for these twenty people to be admitted to the temple.
However, almost all of them were in the top 16o on the god list, and each of them was a big man who stood alone, and they didn't take it seriously at all for these new disciples and sisters who had entered the temple.
The difference in strength and identity between each other is too great, and the tone of their blessings has a teacher-like, condescending taste.
Twenty people's hearts are full of taste.
Can be admitted to the temple, which one is not arrogant, these people are secretly competing in their hearts, aren't they rushing high on the god list, wait for us to see it later.
At this time, Zhou Lu's eyes suddenly noticed the location of the staircase, and the figure of the owner of Qi Fang hurriedly squeezed up.
"Master Qi is also here. ”
Zhou Lu breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, feeling relaxed.
Finally, there is a sincere person who came to say hello to them, and there is no need to be false here.
"Master Qifang, ...... here"
Zhou Lu greeted him from afar, and greeted him side by side with Mo Qingsleeve.
There were more and more people on the third floor, and no one paid attention to Zhou Lu's side, Qi Fang Master squeezed through the crowd, walked quickly towards Zhou Lu and the two, and when he got closer, Zhou Lu asked with a smile:
"Why didn't they come, by the way, today is the auction day of our trading pavilion, and the pavilion must be very busy. ”
The face of the owner of the Qi Fang has been a little ugly, until he came to the vicinity of Zhou Road, the owner of the Qi Fang lowered his voice and said: "Our auction can't be completed, the City Lord's Mansion sent a large number of guards over, saying that they would investigate and deal with the prohibited ores in our trading pavilion, and our auction was forced to stop." ”
"Damn", Qi Fang scolded hatefully: "The matter of prohibited ores is obviously an open secret, which chamber of commerce in the city does not do this, but on the day when our trading pavilion was the most prosperous, it was fiercely investigated and dealt with, isn't this clearly aimed at us." ”
Zhou Lu and Mo Qingsleeve were stunned for a moment, and turned their heads to look at each other in surprise.
"The City Lord's Mansion sent the government guards to investigate? Could it be that it has something to do with the incident where I injured Fu Dongyang?"
Zhou Lu asked in a low voice.
Doesn't it mean that the relationship between the Hong Pavilion Lord and the City Lord has always been very good, and the two parties suddenly clashed so fiercely, so in the middle, only Fu Dongyang can explain it. The Reincarnation Trading Pavilion used the Zhou Lu Ring Tournament to stir himself up, and Zhou Lu took advantage of injuring Fu Dongyang to ascend to the throne, and the city lord was angry with the Trading Pavilion, this explanation should be able to explain it.
The owner of Qi Fang was silent and did not speak, and finally gritted his teeth and continued:
"No matter what, the city lord and our trading pavilion have made their enemies public, and the city lord's mansion has vigorously supported another chamber of commerce these days and given a lot of inclined policies, which is also afraid that our trading pavilion will be the only one to suppress us. ”
