Chapter 90: The Night Banquet
After Zhuo Qingtan finished dressing again, he left Yiriju under the guidance of Wanqing and went to the banquet with her.
But she found out along the way that the moon-breaking building was amazingly big, and there were many formations between the various courtyards during it, so it was no wonder that there were not many little demons guarding it.
They walked through the courtyard of the layers of buildings and terraces, and walked for nearly an hour before they arrived at the hall of the banquet guests in the outer courtyard.
Zhuo Qingtan suddenly stopped at the door outside the hall, and was actually in a slight trance for a while, and all kinds of thoughts came to his heart.
The hall was dimly lit, and Xie Yu had already shed the tattered blue robe he had worn when he was in Immaculate Town.
He was dressed in a dark ink-colored robe and a wolf's hair, with one hand on his chin, sitting high on the first banquet in the hall, with a gentleman like jade and a noble bearing.
Xie Yuci Xuan-colored brocade clothes, full of embroidered gold threads.
And Zhuo Qingtan's jade crown is added, and he is dressed in cloud white.
It was late in the day, and the cold moon was in the sky.
They looked at each other from a distance through the flickering warm candle flames, just as they had been years ago.
I don't know what Xie Yuci thought of at this moment, he seemed to be silent at this moment.
The expression that seemed to be smiling at the corners of his mouth before gradually disappeared at this time.
His phoenix eyes stared at Zhuo Qingtan twenty paces away for a moment.
Not a word.
Wanqing was intimidated by the inexplicable silent atmosphere between the two for a while, and she subconsciously and cautiously looked at the expressions of the two at this time, and she didn't dare to say more.
A moment later, it was Zhuo Qingtan who took the lead in breaking the silence.
She flicked her cloud sleeves, took a step forward slowly, calmly stepped into the threshold of the hall, and then smiled faintly and said:
"Gongzi Xie, you said earlier that your family is in the middle of the road, it seems that Gongzi is too humble. Such a family background should be the home of the rich in the Northland."
Somehow, as her words landed, the atmosphere in front of the hall relaxed, and the air seemed to start flowing again.
Xie Yu smiled suddenly, as if nothing had happened.
"Where, the money or treasures of the house are just mundane things."
He tilted his head slightly, carefully looked at Zhuo Qingtan's dusty eyebrows and elegant clothes, and couldn't help but smile lightly.
"However, if these mundane objects can be worn by Miss Zhuo, they will also add a bit of extravagance. So it seems to be a blessing for them."
Zhuo Qingtan had already sat in the first distinguished seat of Xie Yu's resignation under the guidance of the servant girl disguised as a little demon.
She nodded to the little demon with a slight bow, and then turned her head to look at Xie Yuci with a calm expression.
"Gongzi Xie, you invited me to visit Yanzhou Mansion with you, I shouldn't have been so bad at the scene. But I still want to ask more, during this period, is the safety of my disciples guaranteed?"
Zhuo Qingtan asked this question because she had long suspected that the missing Immortal Sect disciples around the secret realm of Sufeng Valley were probably taken away by Xie Yuci.
Its purpose is naturally to lead her out of Chong'a Mountain in Yunzhou and go to Sufeng Valley in person.
It's just that I don't know where they are being detained by Xie Yuci now.
"Naturally, the disciples of your sect are very good."
Xie Yuci glanced at her with a smile and said lightly, "In comparison, Miss Zhuo's body is not very tough. Speaking of which, the late youth also knows a little bit about the art of Qi Huang, so why not let the late green take the pulse of the girl and prescribe a few decoctions to regulate it."
Zhuo Qingtan paused slightly, and then refused with a faint smile.
"There is no pain in the lower part of the world, but the spiritual veins were slightly damaged by the fire in the center of the earth, and you can slowly adjust it yourself. There is no cure for this injury, so there is no need to trouble the young girl."
Naturally, she couldn't let them test her current physical condition.
Zhuo Qingtan's body was burdened with eight bone nails in the Duan Void Palace, and since she recovered the memories of her previous life in the secret realm of Sufeng Valley, she had already understood why Master Lu Hua would use the eight bone nails to suppress her spiritual veins and bones.
It's just because once Zhuo Qingtan's divine soul approaches the four secret realms, it will react with it.
Thinking about it, after the lord of the palace brought Zhuo Qingtan, who was still in infancy, back to the Duanxu Palace of Chong'a Mountain, her soul had a special reaction with the power of the enchantment in the secret realm of Taixu, so it attracted the attention of the palace master.
Although the palace master didn't know the truth, he vaguely knew that her body was strange, and it would even affect the stability of the four secret realm enchantments.
So, when she learned that the secret realm of the Wufu Haijun Heavenly Cliff had been broken, and she was at the scene, the palace master was probably also worried in his heart.
If it were someone else, Xu is palace master would have already moved to kill her and kill her to protect the stability of the righteous path.
But the human heart is inherently biased.
Zhuo Qingtan is not an outsider.
It is the heir of the Duanxu Palace who has been cultivated by the master of the palace, and the inheritor of his Taoism.
He couldn't put his heart down to hurt the killer to completely cut off the troubles, so he could only use the secret method of the Duxu Palace, and in the name of ordination, he used the bone nail to suppress Zhuo Qingtan's spiritual veins and root bones, so as to avoid the four secret realm enchantments from regenerating visions because of her proximity.
It's just that when Zhuo Qingtan didn't know what was going on, he was actually deceived by Xie Yuci with the whereabouts of the missing disciple, and directly entered the formation king in the center of the secret realm of Pingjin Pavilion Sufeng Valley.
Therefore, it allowed Xie Yuci to take advantage of the loophole and take back the part of the divine power that was blocked in the Sufeng Valley Secret Realm Array King, causing the Sufeng Valley Secret Realm Enchantment to also be broken.
So, after Zhuo Qingtan figured out all the joints, he categorically couldn't let them call her pulse.
If they broke the bone snail, in addition to punishing and torturing people, they also had other uses, but they were afraid that they would forcibly take out the eight bone stud nails in her body.
At that time, there may be no need for her to enter the Secret Realm Array King willingly, Xie Yuci only needs to forcibly bring her to the vicinity of the Secret Realm Enchantment, which is very likely to cause turmoil in the Secret Realm Enchantment.
"It's just that the spiritual veins are damaged, Xie doesn't think so, right?"
He raised his eyebrows, looked at her thoughtfully, and said, "Miss Zhuo has no spiritual power in half of her body, she sleeps less and dreams more, and she loses weight so quickly that she even needs to bring that Raushzi magic weapon to weaken the six senses to heal her injuries. I'm afraid this is not a minor illness.
Not to mention...... Although Miss Zhuo asked for immortals and was a disciple of the immortal sect, she was only a mortal body. The fire in the center of the earth is probably not a trivial matter for mortals."
Xie Yuci said this, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhuo, it's not good to avoid medical treatment."
Zhuo Qingtan smiled calmly, and deceived him indifferently.
"I don't hide it, although I don't know why, but I was born with an abnormal talent, and I am not an ordinary mortal. Although the fire in the center of the earth is fierce, it is not a difficult disease for me to heal.
And there is no spiritual power circulation in the next week, and it is not due to serious injuries. It was because of my reckless transgression that temporarily sealed my spiritual veins so that I could meditate and no longer act impulsively.
This is a cultivation of the mind, and I am also sincerely taught, so I don't bother Xie Gongzi."
Xie Yuci couldn't help frowning when he heard this, but the next moment he chuckled out with a "sneer", and then shook his head.
"The noble sect elder is really good and "funny", not only letting the horses run, but also not allowing the horses to graze.
The hundred schools of Xianmen have always respected and humbled by the strength of their strength, but Xie didn't know that the respected master let a disciple who couldn't exert the slightest spiritual power go out to serve for him, and eliminate the demon guard...... Does he really trust his subordinates so much, or does he think your life is too long?"
Zhuo Qingtan frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Gongzi Xie, this is a bad statement. Duanxu Palace is now the head of the four immortal gates, because of the establishment of Duanxu Palace, thousands of years of giving up the small self, into the big me, generation after generation of disciples with their lives to eliminate evil, protect the peace of the mortal world, in exchange for the current Xianmen hundred schools of worship.
The hundred schools of Xianmen have always used virtue to convince people, and there is no such thing as respect and inferiority, let alone respect and humility based on strength and weakness."
Xie Yuci let out a soft "heh" when he heard this, and then lowered his head and gently rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
Sure enough, he shouldn't have said this to Zhuo Qingtan, a "little old-fashioned".
So, in the next moment, he nodded as if he had been taught, and said half amusementously and half perfunctorily:
"Miss Zhuo said
is reasonable, but Xie is narrow-minded. Eat vegetables."
He lifted his chin slightly, and gestured to Zhuo Qingtan for the exquisite dishes in front of him.
It seems that a magic circle has also been arranged on the table, and the dishes are displayed on it, and the temperature has not decreased in the slightest, and it is still steaming.
A steaming copper stove hot pot billows white smoke, and the aroma of food fills the hall.
Zhuo Qingtan looked at Xie Yuci through the white mist, and was speechless for a while.
...... His temperament has really not changed at all.
In the past, if she said something about a topic that he didn't want to continue, he would pretend to agree with it first, and then find a side topic to prevaricate.
However, Xie Yuci rarely argued with her, and the number of disputes between them was only a handful.
Once was when she used herself as a container to absorb the fierce power and anger of the mortal world;
One was when he was later beaten back to his original form, erased his memory, and sealed him on the coast of the East China Sea.
And the last time was the death farewell of Xianshan Daiyu that shocked the Three Realms.
It turned out that they had known each other for a lifetime, gathered less and separated more, and fought ...... I've only quarreled three times.
