Chapter 22: Moon-Viewing

At night, the county watch's office begins to come alive.

Groups of guests came in an endless stream, and the slightly larger families in the county were invited by Duanmu Rong, each family was limited to two places, and there were really a lot of people coming tonight.

The moon viewing meeting was held in the back garden of the county watchhouse, which was very large and did not seem cramped due to the arrival of hundreds of people.

Hundreds of talisman lamps were hung all over the garden, and on the lawn of the garden, there were two long rows of tables, on which were plates of melons and fruits and snacks, and guests from various families were seated one after another.

The rostrum of the moon viewing conference was built with earth-based spells, and there were only a few tables and chairs on the three-foot-high, extremely wide platform, two for the main seat, four on the left, and three on the right.

The rostrum was still empty, and the seated guests greeted each other, and some whispered to their companions.

This moon viewing meeting is spreading, and all families are very concerned about the results of the county guard mansion against the Lichen Sect, and the people who came tonight are all important people in the family,

The Xia family came with the patriarch and the great elder. The Xia family patriarch only has the eighth layer of the quenching body, and his eyesight is limited, and the great elder who is at the peak of the ninth layer of the quenching body came this time in order to see the waiting battle clearly, so as to evaluate the strength of the two sides.

Correctly assessing the strength of both sides is very important to each family, and it is related to the family's position and attitude in the future.

The head of the Xia family lowered his voice and said to the Great Elder: "Great Elder, this time many of the family's hidden masters are here, it seems that the rumors are true, there will be a good show tonight." ”

The Great Elder glanced at the Xia family patriarch, "Be calm and don't be anxious when there are major events. With that, the Great Elder closed his eyes and began to recuperate. The patriarch of the Xia family looked slightly ashamed when he heard this, and he was indeed a little anxious, he was busy gathering his mind and waiting for the start of the moon appreciation conference.

At this time, there was movement on the rostrum, Duanmu Rong accompanied the real people of the Xue and Wang families to appear on the rostrum, and Duanmu Zheng and Ge Songnan followed.

Duanmu Rong respectfully invited Xue Zhenren and Wang Zhenren to sit on the left seat, Duanmu Zheng and Ge Songnan also sat on the left, and Duanmu Rong sat on the main seat on the left.

Xue and Wang, as veteran Liding masters, have been familiar with each other for many years in the same city.

Xue Zhenren twisted his beard and smiled: "Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a few years, how are you doing lately?"

"It's all old bones, what's so good. It's Brother Xue, you have an outstanding junior in the family, and you can still think a little in your heart, unlike our Wang family, there is no successor! Once we old guys go, your Xue family can still hold on, and our Wang family is probably about to fall!"

"Brother Wang, don't worry, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, who can tell what will happen in the future. ”

Ge Songnan and Duanmu Zheng were also talking on the side, but they were not as relaxed as Xue and Wang.

Duanmu Zheng said in a low voice: "Brother Ge, why hasn't Yuanshao come yet?

"Probably not, I think Yuanshao is still very measured, I don't think he will joke about such a big thing. Ge Songnan didn't dare to say it to death, and his answer was vague.

Duanmu Rong sat alone on the prince's chair, his face was as usual, but he was also secretly anxious in his heart, Xia Yuan had not appeared for a long time, and his heart was also up and down.

The weather was fine on August 15, and a full moon was clearly visible in the sky, and it was about to rise in the middle of the moon.

Xue and Wang, who had been waiting for a while, were a little impatient, and Xue Zhenren was about to complain, when his expression suddenly moved, and he changed his words and said, "It's finally here." ”

Wang Zhenren also sensed it, and raised his head to look at the night sky.

According to the level of cultivation, the guests present all sensed it one after another, and a powerful momentum was rapidly approaching from the west. The Leaving Dust Sect is located in the west of Guning City, and everyone knows that one of the protagonists of tonight, the people from the Leaving Dust Sect are here.

Three bright lights in the night sky lit up from the west, quickly zooming in and approaching, approaching the three Liding real people of the Dust Sect with the finished glyph imperial sword. The three people's breaths are connected, like a whole, exuding a powerful momentum.

The three masters of the Dust Sect went out of the same sect, and at this time, they used the secret skills of the sect to condense the momentum, and the strength of the momentum was like substance.

The flowers and trees were affected by this momentum, like a strong wind blowing, the garden crackled and crackled, the trees swayed, the flowers and plants were low, and even some small stones were blown around.

Affected by this momentum, the guests also had difficulty breathing and struggled to move. Facing the power of the Lichen Sect, the leaders of these families were all terrified, and the fear and fear of the Lichen Sect in their hearts increased again.

The three people of the Lichen Sect came with this powerful momentum, and landed on the rostrum with a bang, and the leading sect leader Li Tonghai laughed loudly: "Duanmu County Shou, I'm sorry for being late." When do you have this Yaxing, what kind of moon viewing conference will you hold? ”

After a pause, Li Tonghai changed his tone, gritted his teeth and said, "Tonight, I want to see if the moon in the county guard mansion is particularly round, Duanmu county guard, don't let me down." ”

Duanmu Rong saw the three people of the Lichen Sect appear so strongly, and Xia Yuan didn't come for a long time, his heart was weak, and he forced himself to calm down, "Li Zhenren said with a smile, please sit down at the table." ”

Li Tonghai had already seen the entire rostrum clearly after sweeping it, and did not find any new faces, only a seat beside Duanmu Rong had a vacancy, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

The three of them from the Dust Sect slowly sat down, and Kong Lizhuo said with a little excitement: "Senior brother, it seems that the situation is not as bad as imagined, Duanmu Rong only invited a helper, and we may not be left behind, unless he invites a master who is at the pinnacle of the peak." ”

Li Tonghai bowed slightly when he heard this, and he thought the same way.

"Duanmu County Shou, why didn't there be any distinguished guests, who did you invite? Li Tonghai, who was in a relaxed mood, teased.

The two real people, Xue and Wang, as well as all the guests present, all looked at Duanmu Rong, and everyone was also very curious, wondering who he invited to help the county guard mansion suppress the Lichen Sect.

In front of everyone's eyes, Duanmu Rong saw sweat on his forehead, and he didn't know how to answer, when Xia Yuan's voice came from beside him, "Some people are really blind, Duanmu County Shou should not be like this kind of person, let's start the moon appreciation conference." ”

On the empty main seat beside Duanmu Rong, the figures of Xia Yuan and Yuehe slowly emerged from the void.

Xia Yuan was dressed in a pale cyan simple robe, sitting lazily and casually on the Taishi chair, while Yuehe was wearing a water-red dress, standing solemnly behind Xia Yuan, looking like a girl.

Li Tonghai's eyes shrank instantly, and he stared at Xia Yuan tightly, although Xia Yuan choked him with his words, he didn't have the heart to fight back at this time, it was really too weird for Xia Yuan to appear.

Xue Zhenren, Wang Zhenren, these two veteran Liding in the same realm as Li Tonghai also had a twinkle in their eyes, and they were also shocked by Xia Yuan's appearance.

Appearing so close silently, the late stage of Liding present was unaware, and the mysterious and weird thought made people gasp.

The other guests were also silent, and the one who appeared quietly on the rostrum looked even higher and more unfathomable than the amazing Lichen Sect.

The two high-level leaders of the Xia family were the most surprised, the Xia family patriarch was so stunned that his eyes were about to fall out, and the great elder of the Xia family also failed to be calm every time there was a major event, and he watched his children appear on the main seat of the moon viewing conference.

They still knew that they didn't have the right to intervene at this time, so they didn't make a sound, but all kinds of thoughts kept turning in their hearts, on the one hand, they were afraid that Xia Yuan would bring danger to the Xia family, and on the other hand, they also faintly hoped that Xia Yuan could create a miracle.

Xia Yuan glanced at Duanmu Rong beside him, who was still sitting there in a daze because he was closest to Xia Yuan and felt the deepest.

Xia Yuan pursed his lips secretly, his heart was just two fourth-order invisibility talismans, and these people were too much of a fuss.

He coughed, "Duanmu County Guard, the moon viewing meeting can begin." ”

Duanmu Rong came back to his senses, he was worthy of being the elite of the Duanmu family, and he quickly calmed down in a blink of an eye. Duanmu Rong calmed down, stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, today this official held a moon viewing conference, thank you for being able to come as invited." ”

"It has been a few years since this official arrived in Jianchang County, and he has a lot of feelings. Jianchang County can be said to be a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, with the majestic Lishan Mountain Range in the north and the turbulent Xiliu River originating here. The folk customs here are very simple, and many families are also very disciplined, which is really a good place for peace and tranquility. ”

Speaking of this, Duanmu Rong paused, and then his tone changed to serious, "However, in such a peaceful and peaceful place, there are some people who rely on their own force to wantonly oppress the good, run rampant, arrogant, and even disregard people's lives! As the county guard of Jianchang County, this official will never tolerate such gangsters in the county!"

"In the future, if anyone provokes local tranquility, this official will never let it go, and I, Duanmurong, swear here, that I will definitely make Jianchang County peaceful and peaceful from now on! I believe this is what everyone here wants to see. ”

Duanmu Rong turned to look at the seat on the right again, "Sect Master Li, you think so too, right?"

Most of Li Tonghai's thoughts were still on Xia Yuan, and his heart was full of questions at this time. Xia Yuan's strange appearance frightened him, but after calming down, he looked left and right at Xia Yuan, he was just a young man in his twenties, and his cultivation was only four layers of quenching.

Li Tonghai was unwilling to confront Duanmu Rong rashly before he figured out Xia Yuan's strength, and he sent a message to Kong Lizhuo: "Second brother, that kid on the main seat, you go and test it." ”

Kong Lizhuo also saw that Xia Yuan was very young, and he speculated in his heart that Xia Yuan could appear out of thin air, probably with the help of some secret method or secret treasure;

Hearing Li Tonghai's transmission, Kong Lizhuo stood up, "Duanmu County Shou, this moon viewing conference has just begun, you are so serious, how can you still be interested in moon appreciation." ”

Blocking Duanmu Rong's question, Kong Lizhuo pointed at Xia Yuan again, and said provocatively: "And this young man, is Duanmu County Guard in the wrong position? My great-grandson's great-grandsons are all older than him, what virtue does he have, and how can he sit on the main seat of the moon viewing conference?"

Duanmu Rong heard Kong Lizhuo humiliate Xia Yuan, and was about to reprimand him, but Xia Yuan opened his mouth.

Xia Yuan softly instructed Yuehe: "Yuehe, kill him." ”

The people present were all cultivators, and Xia Yuan said very lightly and casually, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
