Chapter 63: The Night Banquet
Fenghua Building.
The five-storey building rises from the ground, carved railings and jade masonry, and when it comes to magnificence, it is not inferior to the dignitary's house.
As soon as Shen Yi and the other two and a tiger arrived at Fenghua Building, they were led to the building by a wealthy slave, and went up layer by layer to the top floor.
There were no other guests on each floor along the way, only one guard after another in armor and swords standing, and the standard leather armor of that color proves that he is a city guard.
When I arrived at the hall on the top floor, I saw that the table was ready, and a young man in a white robe sat on the main seat, with a smile on his eyebrows and eyes, and his expression was elegant.
This person is the disciple of the Sword God, who was weak and sick before the age of eighteen and could not practice martial arts, and after the age of eighteen, he advanced by leaps and bounds, and it took only three years to reach the fifth "sword" Bai Chou on the list.
Its name is "sorrow", but there is no sorrow between the eyebrows and eyes, the handsome face of the rich god is modest, seeing Shen Yi and Wuyin coming, Bai Chou immediately got up, hugged his fists and said: "The two of you······ The three of them are willing to come to the banquet, it is really Bai Mou's luck, please take a seat. ”
As soon as he stood up, a wooden-sheathed sword at his waist came into view.
The sheath is made of wood, carved with dragon pattern cloud seal, but the hilt of the sword is purple sand and copper, with a low sense of coldness.
This sword is called "Jinghong", which is the sword of the "Sword God" Mo Wentian when he was young, and it was passed to Bai Chou after he officially began to practice.
Seeing that he was also treated as a guest, Senior Brother Hu happily pulled the corner of Shen Yi's clothes with his paws, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, this Bai Shi is a good person." ”
"Your good guy is really worthless."
Shen Yi replied in a low voice, looking at the rest of the people quietly.
In addition to Bai Chou, there are three other people at this night banquet at this moment.
"Rong Bai is the introduction of the three, this one is Brother Shen Shenyun of the Tianhe Sword Sect."
Bai Chou stretched out his hand and introduced to the son who was dressed in a pale silver brocade robe, wearing a silver crown and holding a jade flute.
"This one is the son of the county lieutenant Lord Zhou, and Zhou Xiao is the same brother as Zhou."
Dressed in Confucian clothes, dressed as a scholar, but with a long sword at his waist, the son casually hugged his fists and saluted, looking quite contemptuous.
His appearance also let Shen Yi know why the soldiers of the city defense battalion appeared here.
As for another figure in the court of the county, Shangguan Ming, the son of the late county guard Shangguan Pei, did not come here. Shangguan Pei has just come out of the funeral, if Shangguan Ming dares to go to Fenghualou for a banquet, it is estimated that tomorrow the gossip of a certain filial son will be spread in the county town.
"There is also this one, who is the young gang leader of the Dajiang Gang, Brother Xiongtu."
Xiongtu stood up and clenched his fists.
Sword Pavilion, Dajiang Gang, Tianhe Sword Sect, okay, the three parties who jumped in the Linglong Iron Brake at the beginning are all here.
Coupled with the son of Zhou Ziwu, the county lieutenant, this banquet of Fenghualou is a Hongmen banquet no matter how you look at it.
"And one more ······"
Bai Chou was about to introduce again, and a figure hurriedly walked into the hall and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm too late." Taishi Lou Lei Dazhuang, I have seen you. ”
The old acquaintance Lei Dazhuang hugged his fists and saluted everyone, and said he was embarrassed.
"I don't need to introduce myself to the next, but I am an acquaintance with the little master of Wuyu."
Lei Dazhuang walked to the seat next to Shen Yi and sat down, looking familiar.
His arrival eased the gradually solemn atmosphere, and did not let this banquet develop directly towards the Hongmen Banquet.
However, Shen Yi knew that although Lei Dazhuang was not an accomplice of the others, his position was also biased.
From the secret book obtained from the corpse of the middle-aged scribe, it can be seen that Tai Shilou has been paying close attention to the big and small things in the rivers and lakes, and it may be the eyes and ears of Emperor Daxuan to monitor the world.
After Lei Dazhuang came, there was no one in the hall except for the servants who served on the side. The soldiers of the patrol battalion were all outside the hall, and the masters of the older generation from all sides did not appear.
At least, as Void said before, the Dajiang Gang Wan Shanliu who was so angry that he wanted to beat the other party on the spot was not there.
I just don't know if Bai Chou, Lei Dazhuang, and Shen Shenyun of the River Sword Sect have elders around him to protect the way.
The wine and dishes are all on the table, all the vegetarian food, and the exquisite dishes make the tiger swallow his saliva.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk while we eat."
From ancient times to the present, the wine table culture can be said to be a unique in the East, and it has not been broken even in this other world. Bai Chou was the first to move his chopsticks and greeted everyone.
"Senior brother, can you eat it?" Senior Brother Hu asked Shen Yi at the first moment.
"Eat."
Shen Yi smiled, "Anyway, we're here to go through the motions." ”
Bai Chou and even the rest of the people's thoughts are nothing more than a few points.
One, meet Lin Feng.
Second, let those who are under house arrest of the three factions be released from prison as soon as possible.
Three, naturally, it is to find the two people who committed murder in the county town today - the invincible and the faceless sword ghost.
Shen Yi said that they were all dreaming, and it was absolutely impossible to agree without cause. To put it bluntly, this night banquet is a feast of ripping, and there will be no result in the end.
Shen Yi and the big tiger just ate and drank, and gave Wuyin Zhuang a strong reputation at the critical moment, and the rest was all up to Wuyin to play.
When Senior Brother Tiger heard this, he directly lowered his head and started eating, without hesitation at all.
Its behavior immediately made Zhou Xiaotong, who was sitting opposite, change his complexion, obviously seeing the other party's perfunctory meaning.
The chopsticks he picked up and plucked the vegetarian food, then put it down directly, and sneered: "It's really rare, people can still sit at the same table with animals, Zhou is really the first time I've seen it." ”
Although this son has the vision to see and see the perfunctory on Shen Yi's side, he is obviously not the master who can calm down. After realizing that the goal was difficult to achieve, he began to sneer.
"Amitabha," Shen Yi gently pressed Senior Brother Hu's back, touched it soothingly, and said, "In the eyes of the monks, all beings are equal, and there is no distinction between high and low. It doesn't matter if it's a human or an animal. ”
He looked at Zhou Xiaotong with a smile, and his peaceful and equal eyes made Zhou Xiaotong very angry.
"How dare you scold me!" Zhou Xiaotong slapped the table angrily.
When Shen Yi spoke, he stared at Zhou Xiaotong, which meant that it couldn't be more obvious. In his eyes, Zhou Xiaotong is no different from a beast.
Of course, no matter what it meant, he would not jump his face directly head-on, seeing Zhou Xiaotong angry, Shen Yi was surprised: "Why did Zhou Shizhu say this, the little monk just said a word of Buddhism, but he didn't mean to target Zhou Shizhu, let alone say that Zhou Shizhu is a brute." It's just equality, equality! ”
Seeing this, Wuyin beside him was slightly stunned for a moment, and then chose to remain silent.
If you can make the other party take the initiative to turn their faces, it will also save you from the effort.
Shen Yi's words were hidden needles in the cotton, Zhou Xiaotong heard this, his anger was even more intense, and he immediately wanted to drop the cup, and called out five hundred knives and axes to cut Shen Yi.
At the critical moment, Lei Dazhuang suddenly spoke: "Speaking of Buddhism, there is a confusion below, and I want to ask the two of you." ”
