The time of cultivation is not the same as the world, and three days have passed.

Qi Jingzhi was practicing in the room with his eyes closed, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the courtyard door outside, and immediately got up and walked out of the room.

When the courtyard door opened, I saw a steward of Jiao's annex waiting outside the door with a maid.

The maid held a wooden table with clothes stacked on top of each other, and even a pair of boots.

When the steward saw the door open, he hurriedly bent down and saluted, and said respectfully, "Honorable guest Wanhai!"

Qi Jingzhi walked out of the courtyard gate, looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but ask, "It's still early before the birthday banquet at this moment, is there anything to do with Jiao?"

"Indeed, there is something to disturb, and I ask your guests to forgive their sins!"

Steward Jiao said, turned around and pointed to the wooden case in the maid's hand: "These were sent by Young Master Lang, including a dark blue dark flower narrow-sleeved brocade robe, a leather belt, and a pair of black boots."

"Young Master Lang's original words are that there are many people in the world who are judged by their clothes, these clothes are all used by the Jiao family's children every day, and there is no obstacle to using fists, feet, bows and knives, the whole set is new, and I hope my brother will not dislike it."

"Young Master Lang?" Qi Jingzhi understood after thinking about it for a while, this should be Jiao Yulang.

Although along the way, whether it is the gods such as Yu Laochenghuang and Zhu Yihou, or the monks such as Liu Muzhi, Deng Fuqing, and Mu Yingxian, they have never despised him because of his humble background, and he himself has never felt that there is anything wrong with the sackcloth and straw shoes on his body, but he will not refuse Jiao Yulang's kindness.

"The guest is as he pleases, as he should."

Qi Jingzhi smiled freely, immediately turned around and went back to the small courtyard, and said as he walked, "You guys sent clothes for my brother, what is there to blame for me? By the way, does your young master Lang have anything else to say?"

Seeing this, Steward Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took the maid to follow up: "Young Master Lang also said that today's birthday banquet in the mansion is divided into several places, and the guests entertained are different.

may be because he is looking for someone to pass on the words on his behalf, Jiao Yulang's words and sentences are not only much more elegant, but also quite subtle, quite like the style of a family.

Qi Jingzhi smiled again: "No wonder you want to send me clothes. Where does he want me to go?"

Steward Jiao shook his head: "This Young Master Lang didn't say anything, only a few words at the end. The original words are that before the elder brother enters the mansion, he will know when he opens his eyes and takes a closer look, except for the banquet, he can go anywhere he wants."

"The villain's words have been brought, and this is the farewell."

After that, Steward Jiao ordered the maid beside him to put the wooden case on the stone table in the courtyard, and then retreated together.

"There are two of them."

Qi Jingzhi bowed his head lightly towards the two, and couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart: "Open your eyes and take a closer look? Is this what opens my eyebrows?"

He closed the courtyard door, took the wooden case containing the clothes back to the room, and looked through them carefully, and saw that these clothes were of the highest quality in terms of materials and workmanship, and there were no special marks, so they should not be recognized as Jiao's children when they went out.

Qi Jingzhi immediately took off his sackcloth and straw sandals under his feet, and put on a brocade robe and black boots, which seemed quite suitable at first glance.

Then, he looked at the black leather belt left in the wooden case, and suddenly shook his head with a smile, and turned his left hand up.

Almost at the same time, the sash appeared in his palm.

Since he met Mu Yingxian that night, Qi Jingzhi would go to that garden every night after dark, sit by the pool to sense and refine the qi of pine and cypress armor, and then try to slowly swallow and refine, integrate into his body and smoke and feather clothes, as a cultivation of this layer of induction realm Xiaxia.

During this period, except for the green-haired rabbit who came to take away the emperor's anointing wine, the beautiful and unparalleled girl never appeared again.

In addition, Qi Jingzhi stayed in the room all day long, either to draw gold qi to cultivate and make up for Tiger Zen, or to find ways to attract the accompanying mirror spirit of the bronze mirror.

Although this companion mirror spirit still refused to deal with Qi Jingzhi, he finally discovered a wonderful use.

That is, everything that has been refined by the mirror spirit can be reused

Stored in the mirror, and retracted freely. This is also the proper meaning of the question, since at the beginning of refining, the mirror can swallow those evil spirits into the black mirror, and then spit it out, there is no reason why it can't be after refining.

It can be seen that the companion artifact spirit is indeed as Mu Yingxian said, and it is more like some kind of magical spell before it is formed.

In this process, Qi Jingzhi gradually discovered that the scarlet belt and the silver candlestick seemed to be real objects, but their essence was somewhat similar to his smoky feather coat, and the evil qi gathered and dispersed, as if it was between the virtual and the real. It's a pity that these two strange things can't be directly incorporated into the body like the smoke and feather coat, and they still have to be passed by the mirror spirit.

With this discovery, Qi Jingzhi was overjoyed and touched the bypass, and gave birth to all kinds of wonderful ideas.

For example, now, he closed his eyes and concentrated, his eyebrows and his mind were open, and he silently recited the "Secret Method of Riding the Clouds", and at the same time his right hand gently wiped it on the corpse.

After repeating this, the faceless head and silver scales on the ragged corpse gradually disappeared, and turned into a genuine silver belt, its length and style were exactly the same as the black leather belt sent by Jiao Yulang.

Qi Jingzhi opened his eyes, tied his ragged belt around his waist, looked down, and saw that the silver belt of the robe on his body was quite compatible.

He nodded with satisfaction, tightened the scabbard in his sleeve, took the red gold bead into his arms, carried the long knife to fry his life, lifted the white ape fruit box, walked out of the door with a new look, locked the door and the courtyard door one by one, and then walked out of the annex with many guests who lived here.

The birthday of the Dragon Mother is the biggest event in Chaozhou and even the surrounding states. The scale of this celebration is very large, there are a lot of workers and purchases, almost the entire Chaozhou city has benefited from it, and on the right day, it is everywhere to put up lights, and the people of the city celebrate.

Qi Jingzhi walked slowly along the flow of carriages, horses and people, passing several theaters and porridge sheds along the way, and walked for a long time before seeing the gate of the Marquis Yunxiang's Mansion from afar.

He remembered Jiao Yulang's instructions, opened his eyes and looked intently, and saw that the door of the Xuanchang Mansion suddenly separated from the middle and became two side by side.

In front of the two mansions, there are new clothes and hats in front of the Jiaofu steward to welcome guests, the left side of the mansion is still crowded, guests gathered, but the right one is full of doors, countless pedestrians, cars and horses pass by, but no one looks at it.

"Hey, from the moment you walk through the door, you've divided the guests into two categories! If you want to enter the gate on the right, you must start with a monk who has successfully enlightened the spirit of the sensing realm and truly embarked on the path of cultivation, and at worst, you must also have a good secret technique of strange things, otherwise you won't even know where the gate is opening."

Qi Jingzhi sighed secretly, frowned and thought about it, and suddenly turned around and left.

He searched carefully for a few moments, and finally found a secluded alley.

He walked straight into the depths of the alley, and when he saw that there was no one near him, he suddenly flipped his left palm, and the silver candlestick immediately appeared, and the blood-red candlelight lit up, covering the young man's figure.

Qi Jingzhi put down the food box, changed the candlestick to his right hand, and wiped his left hand on his face, and immediately turned into a faceless man with a cyan face.

Immediately after, he stretched out his hand and shouted in a low voice, "The Red Gold Knife is coming!"

As soon as the words fell, the red gold beads that had been fed immediately flew out of his arms, and when they showed the shape of a knife in the air, they even had the knife buckle to hang the knife.

Seeing this golden short knife again, Qi Jing's heart couldn't help but flash a trace of gloom.

He didn't have much interest in Jiao's aunt's birthday banquet, he just wanted to take a look for Lao Wei, so he naturally had to bring the red gold knife instead of the red gold bead.

He hung the red gold knife on his belt, took back the silver candlestick with his left hand, lifted the food box on the ground with his right hand, turned back and walked out of the alley, and without hesitation walked towards the gate on the right.

If His Royal Highness Lao Wei was here, he would not be willing to sit with ordinary guests.

Under the light of red blood, Qi Jingzhi let the endless flow of cars and horses on the street, squeeze through the bustling crowd, walked to the deserted mansion gate, and looked up at the wide plaque hanging in the middle of the top.

"Build the Mansion of the Marquis of Yunxiang."

Several large iron hook silver paintings and golden light bloomed, smashing down towards the blood light around him.

Qi Jingzhi flipped his left hand, put away the silver candlestick, and suddenly appeared in front of the mansion.

Originally, there was nothing

The welcome manager who chatted with Lai was suddenly startled, his eyes flew over Qi Jingzhi's face and waist, and the breath on his body was immediately put away, and then he took the initiative to greet him.

"The villain has no eyes, and he has neglected the distinguished guest, forgive the sins!"

Between the steps, the welcome steward had already restrained his shock, and while confessing his guilt, he made a gesture to pick up the food box in Qi Jingzhi's hand.

Qi Jingzhi calmly handed out the food box and said in a muffled voice: "This is the four-color longevity fruit, I wish the dragon mother pine crane a long life, and the immortal blessing will be forever!"

"Thank you!"

The welcome steward carefully took the food box, his eyes swept the carved picture on the box, and a smile appeared on his face, and while stretching out his hand to greet the guest, he respectfully asked, "Please forgive the villain, dare to ask if the surname is Wei?"

Being able to stand at the gate of the mansion at such a time to greet guests, this steward's insight is really extraordinary, and he actually recognized the red gold knife at a glance.

Qi Jingzhi stepped up the stairs, shook his head and said, "The East China Sea Golden Sword Wei has passed away, and his sword is my own."

Hearing this, the welcome steward's face did not change at all, and he stretched out his hand half a step behind to lead the way, and said respectfully, "I see! The one who comes is the guest, and the villain dares to ask where is the name of the high surname and the immortal mountain?"

Qi Jingzhi's footsteps did not stop, and he said lightly: "Linzhou, Luqiyun, I have some friendship with the jade characters in your mansion."

"It turned out to be Master Deer from Linshan!" The welcoming steward immediately gave a loud compliment.

Seeing that the blue-faced faceless man who suddenly appeared outside the gate of the mansion did not say anything to correct it, several waiters immediately sang loudly on the side of the porch inside the door: "Master Linshan Deer is here to worship!" The four colors of longevity fruit, I wish my aunt and grandmother Songhe a long life, and immortal blessings will continue forever!"

Qi Jingzhi heard it in his ears, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart: "Just because I have a strange appearance, and the birthday gift I bring is a mountain product, I am regarded as a demon and a monster in Lin Mountain by this steward." Chinese Net

"This Chaozhou Jiao clan really deserves to be a military marquis family with profound heritage, and when a demon like me came to the door, the steward who welcomed the guests didn't even pay attention to it."

Ignoring the few hidden glances that fell on his body, Qi Jingzhi stopped and asked, "I heard that there are many banquets in the mansion today?"

"What Master Lu said is right, depending on the identity of the guests in the house today, it will be divided into two banquets, inside and outside. At this time, the people sitting on the main table of the internal banquet are all the gate lords and sect masters who have been friends with my Jiao family for generations, the state pastors, the demon suppression generals and other *** eunuchs, the state city god, the Chaojiang water god and other great gods, in addition to the several masters and generals under my command who are waiting on the side."

The welcome steward paused, and when he saw Qi Jingzhi bowing his head slightly, he continued: "In addition to the main banquet in the inner banquet, there is still a banquet in the side halls of the two compartments according to the division above.

After a brief pause, he added, "These are only rough divisions, and you can choose any one of them, and you can move between the halls if you want to do so."

"Oh?"

Qi Jingzhi was slightly stunned, and then asked, "If Golden Dao Wei is here, which seat should he enter?"

The welcome steward thought for a while, and replied: "Golden Dao Wei is a great man in the East China Sea and has a far-reaching reputation, except for the main seat, the rest of the side halls can be obtained, but the Liaozhou Jiuzhen Wei clan is not obvious, and the Golden Dao Wei himself has not taken refuge in any family or sect.

Seeing that Qi Jingzhi nodded again, the steward waved to the waiter who was waiting on the side, and asked tentatively, "I don't know which seat Master Lu prefers?" Oh, there are still a lot of empty seats in the mountain right now, and it's very quiet."

Qi Jingzhi was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a young man's voice behind him: "What else is there to hesitate about? If you follow my ......."

Qi Jingzhi immediately turned around and looked, and saw a young man who was not yet weak and fast-paced into the mansion.

This young man looks seventeen or eighteen years old, his body should be thin and small at this age, only half a head taller than Qi Jingzhi, his facial features are mediocre, only a pair of big eyes are shining.

He wore a hat on his head, a brass robe with narrow sleeves, a brocade belt around his waist, and black leather hexaly boots.

Just look at this pair of official boots, you can know that this person is a person in the public family, only

For some reason, he had a string of cyan copper coins tied with a red thread around his waist, which looked very strange.

The young man saw Qi Jingzhi's faceless monster face at a glance, and the half of the words behind him choked back.

They stopped suddenly, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on their faces: "There are even mountain visitors I don't know in this Chaozhou?"

Before the words fell, the young man's figure flashed, and he was already approaching.

He grabbed Qi Jingzhi's arm and introduced it familiarly, "Brother Tai, please! The younger brother Qian Xiaoren, the word Xuanhuang, the Ren of A, B, C, D, and the Xuanhuang of A, B, C, D. I'm the ninth in the family, you can call me Xiao Jiu, Qian Jiu, and Xuan Huang, but don't call me Xiaoren!"

This Qian Xiaoren's cultivation is not known, but his body is very fast, and he doesn't even change his breath when he speaks, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be taken aback, and saw that the other party didn't use much strength in his hands, so he immediately withdrew his arm quietly.

He didn't tell who was older and who was younger, and said in a muffled voice, "I am a guest of Linshan Mountain! Brother Qian Jiu, if it were for you, where should I go?"

"Haha, Qian Jiu has seen Brother Lu!"

Qian Xiaoren seemed to be very familiar with Jiaofu, and his face was very big, and he didn't see him bring any birthday gifts, but he waved lightly to the welcome steward and the waiter who stepped forward, then reached out again to grab Qi Jingzhi's arm, and walked towards the mansion with a sullen head.

The welcome steward smiled sincerely, but instead saluted Qian Xiaoren, took a few steps back silently, and then turned around and returned to the door of the mansion.

Qian Xiaoren didn't look back, and said as he walked: "Brother Lu shouldn't have been out of the mountains much, and it is the first time he has come back to Chaozhou, so he must not know the local atmosphere. According to my experience, the first few seats are nothing more than families, sects, officialdom, gods and gods, these people all have their nostrils facing the sky, dog-eyed people, and they are always staring at the main seat, and we can't afford to put a hot face on someone's cold ass."

"As for the leftovers of the first few seats, most of them are here to climb the high branches, and occasionally there are a few road fields, and there is no telling which big man is standing behind them. These people are either submissive and refuse to say much, and they dare not drink too much, or they are very hypocritical, and they can't listen to a word of truth, and their friendship is not less than half a point, and they are really boring!"

Qi Jingzhi heard that he was interesting, and before he could speak, he saw Qian Xiaoren's big eyes roll, and asked shyly, "Brother Lu, do you have any money with you?"
