Chapter 178: Awakening

Zhao Qiao stretched out his chopsticks and took another bite of the dish, although he was a little distressed, he still ate with a fragrant aftertaste, and even the flow of mana in his body was a little faster.

It is said that after the monks have refined their qi into the body, they can replace their diet with spiritual energy, and abandon their dietary troubles, and for a while, the monks took not eating grains or even stopping eating altogether as a moral standard.

In fact, satisfying the appetite of the mouth, for the monks, although it has a certain degree of influence on cultivation, this effect is not fatal, and it can even be said that it is extremely limited.

Unless it's a big fish and meat all day long, if you occasionally meet the last time, otherwise, it won't have much impact on your cultivation.

Those with low cultivation may still have troubles with Gong, but with high cultivation, they can refine impurities into ashes in their bodies by their own means, and this impact is even more negligible.

Therefore, if it is for the sake of personal exchanges, it is not uncommon for the monks to hold a banquet.

The sect also has an attitude of not supporting but not opposing this.

Excessive pleasure is naturally not good, but usually the disciples either go out on tasks or retreat, and there is less interaction with each other, and the cohesion will naturally decline.

This is naturally not a good thing for the high-level of the sect.

Especially now that we are in the rest phase of the war, it is also excellent for the disciples to take this opportunity to relax and unwind.

Therefore, Zhao Qiao's banquet, with the acquiescence of the sect and the expectations of many fellow sects, the scale of the banquet held can be said to be rare and large.

The dishes and drinks used in the banquet, etc., Zhao Qiao also bled a lot for this.

The dishes use a lot of spiritual materials, although they are not very precious spiritual grass and spiritual plants, but the quantity is not cheap.

The monster meat used in meat dishes is also a "water" that no one usually wants, but it is better because of the variety and quantity.

Although it is suspected of being wasteful to make these things into dishes, it is not an exaggeration to say that these dishes made of aura-rich materials are all delicacies.

And you can also absorb the aura after eating, if it is comparable to the elixir, I naturally dare not say, but it is certainly not a waste of the time of those guests who came to appreciate their faces.

Coupled with the spirit wine purchased on a special trip, it can be said that the dishes at this banquet can not only satisfy the appetite, but also take into account the practicality.

At the very least, the time spent on this banquet is really not as much as the spiritual energy that can be absorbed by a full meal.

This can be seen from the satisfied expressions of the guests on the field.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qiao hurriedly put down two more chopsticks.

Although this banquet was helped by that person, and it was not entirely paid for by him, it was still a little distressing.

If you can eat a little back, you can also reduce your losses.

I just don't know what the purpose of those people is for him to set up such a banquet.

If you want to ask for something, it must be not small, otherwise it is estimated that the spirit stones for this banquet alone will not be able to return to the original.

But it's none of his business, no matter what those people do, anyway, as long as the relationship is not exposed, he himself is innocent.

Even if the relationship is exposed, he can use ignorance to excuse himself.

He's ...... anyway In a sense, it's really unknowing.

"Brother Zhao."

A fat monk who was shirtless and had a belly several circles larger than him stepped forward, his greasy hands didn't know what he was holding just now, but at this time, he directly put it on Zhao Qiao's shoulder.

"Congratulations to Brother Zhao for successfully advancing to the late stage of foundation building, and thank you Brother Zhao for today's delicious food, tsk, it's really a color, flavor, and wine, and the wine is even better, separation, good wine, good wine!"

Zhao Qiao almost couldn't remember who this was in front of him, the same disciple and brother of the Qingyun Sect who had built hundreds of foundations, he actually knew more than half of it, and it could make him feel raw, but he was unfamiliar to a certain extent.

obviously didn't know him much, but at this time, he was familiar with each other, and this behavior really made Zhao Qiao uncomfortable.

He was disgusted in his heart, but he didn't show it at all, and smiled politely, "Brother Tai thinks it's good to have fun, isn't it a blessing for you and me to have fun?" ”

As he spoke, he quietly shook the oily hand off his shoulder with the skill of picking up vegetables.

Although it was a banquet at this time, the monks did not have so many rules and regulations before, so it was natural for everyone to come and come as they wanted.

But no matter how you say it, they are also foundation building monks, and they are all people who have lived for at least a few decades, if they are put outside, they can casually go to those small sects to be the role of a sect leader and elder to dominate one side.

Not to mention that everyone is familiar with etiquette and the like, these things are too empty for monks.

But at least some of the etiquette, you still understand, right?

Zhao Qiao is not a person of Mu Ne, on the contrary, although he has excellent talent on the way to Dan Dao and has been addicted to Dan Dao for decades, he is actually no stranger to the management of human feelings.

Old and immortal is a thief, the life span of the monks is far beyond that of mortals, and they have lived for so many years, whether it is the cultivation of qi cultivation kung fu or some other common sense, even if it is not very good, but it will certainly not be so bad.

But this man ...... The feeling to Zhao Qiao is that he doesn't know which poor country he came from, but he is afraid that he is the type who has never gone out after entering the sect?

Otherwise, how could it be so superb?

"Hahaha, that's, that's."

The fat monk didn't mind, his body turned, and he revealed a bald piece of his head in front of Zhao Qiao, "Good wine and good food, it's another happy day, alas, Lao Tu, I haven't been so happy for a long time." ”

Zhao Qiao was originally disdainful of this person, and was about to find a reason to send him away, but the bald piece on the other party's head kept his eyes.

At the banquet, he was the protagonist, and his every move was extremely eye-catching, and he quickly reacted to his gaffe, but his back was still soaked with cold sweat.

The fat monk smiled and continued: "But if you stay in this kind of lively place for a long time, you will inevitably get bored, right? ”

"Right...... Right, right. ”

Zhao Qiao echoed continuously, if it weren't for his strong self-control, he still remembered where he was now, and he would almost catch the fat man in front of him for interrogation.

Anyway, the other party's cultivation is just in the early stage of foundation building, and the gap between the strength of the two sides is huge, although his combat power is not as strong as the one in the same level, but he is also sure if he wants to catch the other party.

But this is the Qingyun Sect, and this person is also his fellow brother.

Relying on the qi cultivation kung fu cultivated by learning alchemy, Zhao Qiao resisted the urge to do it directly.

I saw that the fat man had a mysterious smile on his face, and continued: "It's me...... Partition...... At this time, I must go out to breathe, well, I see the woods over there......"

"Not bad...... Not bad, uh. ”

He seemed to be genuinely drunk, and his speech was slurred, even intermittent.

After saying this, he shook his head and paced away.

In the two sentences just now, in the entire field, only Zhao Qiao was close enough to understand what he was talking about.

If it's someone else, you will feel that it's nonsense when you hear it, or you can just ignore it like the wind in your ears.

How many people are in this room? How many people are half-drunk like this fat man?

If you have to pay more attention to every sentence, then the monks here will not participate in the banquet, and directly set up an intelligence department.

In the entire venue, Zhao Qiao was the only one who paid more attention to the fat man's words because of a bald part of the back of his head.

Therefore, the key factors can be extracted.

On the surface, Zhao Qiao did not move after again, and talked and laughed with many of his peers in the staggered planning as before.

In fact, he finally found a gap after a change of lamps, and left the banquet venue directly without anyone noticing the two dodges.

The woods that the fat man talked about before are actually just a small hill formed by a few trees, which is inconspicuous.

In fact, no one will pass by here tomorrow, because this small courtyard is actually quite deserted when there is no feast, and the monks will not be able to come here without walking around.

Originally, it was impossible for Zhao Qiao to listen to other people's nonsense, but it was really because of the bald piece on the top of the fat man's head, which impressed him too deeply.

One of the many images used by "the man" is a fat man with a bald head on his head.

This is highly consistent with the fat man.

Coupled with the fact that he had never seen that fat man in the sect for so many decades, Zhao Qiao actually had a lot of speculation in his heart in the time he was trembling before.

The bald brain, the fat man, in a sense, these two things constitute the nightmare that will appear from time to time after his years of cultivation.

I'm almost going to turn into a demon.

Want not to pay attention...... That's really hard.

The grove, and there isn't much of it.

Zhao Qiao slowly moved forward along a market that was stepped on, and under the moonlight, the forest looked gloomy, and the vigilance in his heart was also full.

Although it is unlikely that there will be any mortal danger within the sect knowing that this is the sect, there is nothing wrong with being careful, right?

The grove is not big, although it is a step after the opening of the divine consciousness, but in half an hour, Zhao Qiao still walked back and forth here.

Oddly enough, he didn't find anything noteworthy.

When he was puzzled, Zhao Qiao suddenly heard a scream in the middle of the banquet.

The scream was heart-rending and piercing, as if it was screaming that he was being subjected to some inhuman abuse.

Before the screams of the first screamer stopped, a series of screams began to sound in the small courtyard of the banquet.

Zhao Qiao was shocked, what the hell is going on?

Before he could return, the pain in his abdomen suddenly began to emerge like cramps, making his face pale, so he couldn't care about anything, and began to meditate and use the mana in his body, and began to fight against this pain.

……

"I'm ...... Where is it? ”

Qu Zhaozhao opened her eyes in a daze, and the unfamiliar environment set off a wave in her heart, and this wave, after seeing Ye Chen meditating next to her, regained her calm.

"Senior sister, are you awake?"

Ye Chen broke away from the pretended sleep meditation, and after seeing Qu Zhaozhao really wake up, Bian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not to mention anything else, he gave enough healing pills, although I don't know how serious Qu Zhaozhao's specific injuries are, but so many high-grade healing pills can be saved, even if there are a few more holes in his body.

But theory is theory, and reality is another matter.

At the very least, during the time when Qu Zhaozhao suddenly fell into a coma after taking the medicine, Ye Chen was not sure what her current state was.

But now that she is awake, he can let go of the heart he carries.

Ye Chen picked up the more important ones, but he still told all the things that happened after Qu Zhaozhao was attacked and fell unconscious.

In fact, he didn't know much, the purple-skinned man was too fierce, and he also fell into a coma in the follow-up of the battle, if it weren't for Youran's presence, otherwise I was afraid that the sun wouldn't be able to see it tomorrow.

When he talked all the way about You Ran's final confession of the reason for coming to save them, even Qu Zhaozhao looked confused.

"Why did they do it? In other words, why does Xiaoqing have to help even if he asks for Youran? ”

This is the part she is more confused about.

Ye Chen clearly talked about the place where he and Xiaoqing knew each other, and he felt that there was no special reason in it.

"I don't know."

Ye Chen shook his head, "But at the very least, this kindness is not small. ”

"If they come back, we should be thankful anyway."

"That's how it should be."

Qu Zhaozhao nodded hurriedly.

You Ran and they saved not only Ye Chen, but also herself, and she definitely had to repay this kindness.

The You family has been destroyed, so the aura of the children of the You Ran family has disappeared completely, she is curious, where will the two masters and servants go in the future, or how to choose?

The follow-up content, the two did not discuss much.

Qu Zhaozhao's injury this time was not light, the previous sneak attack of the purple-skinned man could almost be said to be fatal, and many internal organs in her body had already been injured.

If it weren't for Ye Chen helping her as a follow-up attack and giving her the pill directly, the battle would drag on for a while, even if the purple-skinned man couldn't solve them, she herself estimated that she would probably die this time.

"I owe my junior brother one more time."

Qu Zhaozhao showed a rare embarrassed expression on his face.

When she heard Ye Chen describe the scene of holding herself and tying him just now, no matter how lacking her imagination was, that embarrassing picture would always appear in her mind.

"It's okay, it's a big deal." Ye Chen didn't care.

In his opinion, the current relationship between the two is not close to any extent, but when it is far away, it is also a friendship that I don't know how many times.

If it weren't for the gender problem, then he would probably be looking for Qu Zhaozhao's brother to match, if nothing else, just for a few months of mutual support.

"Not really." Qu Zhaozhao's cheeks showed a faint crimson, "I have always been grateful for everything that my junior brother has done for me. ”

Almost at the same time as these words came out, she reached forward and shook her hand and put her hand in Ye Chen's hand.

The atmosphere inside the circle instantly became a little different.
