When the officials and ghosts heard that there was a big celebration banquet at noon, they were all happy.

The king of Xudu also issued an order: The commander of the 11th Route Army, after arranging the celebration banquet of his own men and horses, must come to the Chinese military tent to drink, and specially explained that Piao Ranzi and Meng Ge will not leave their side from now on.

The tenth road is the ghost army of the king of Xudu, he arranged the marching distance, ordered the three major judges such as the iron mask judge to act as the commander, handle military affairs, and take Piao Ranzi and Meng Ge to the various military camps to inspect it, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.

In the tent of the Chinese army, the iron-faced judge followed the arrangement of the king of Xudu and set up a banquet. One of them is a large table with three seats, and a row of long tables on each side, with nine seats in each row.

The king of Xudu led Piao Ranzi and Meng Ge to greet all the underworld officials and ghosts in front of the tent. As soon as noon arrived, Miaoguang and other five true monarchs, cloudy ghost monarchs, repeated heavenly ghost monarchs, strong ghost kings, leopard tail marshals, bull head marshals, horse face marshals, black and white marshals, night tour marshals, the three major judges, Zhong Kui and other eighteen people gathered in front of the Chinese military tent.

"Everyone, please" Although the king of Xudu is a holy king, he is also approachable today.

"Holy King, please," the underworld officials and ghosts said in unison.

The king of Xudu was also not polite, and was the first to enter the big tent, and everyone entered one after another.

"Holy King, please take a seat," everyone said in unison.

"This king is welcome" King Xudu knows that he is the only one in the chairman's seat, and others will never dare to do it or cannot do it. "Please sit down, too."

After the king finished speaking, the officials and ghosts all sat down on both sides, a row of nine seats, all of which were adjacent to each other, the five true monarchs sat next to each other, the three major judges sat next to each other, and the bull heads and horses sat next to each other.

There were only eighteen seats on either side, and of course Piao Ranzi and Meng Ge couldn't compete for it. The two men stood still in their tents, thinking that the holy king had arranged for them to pour wine.

"Everyone" As soon as the king of Xudu spoke, the ghost commander of the underworld quieted down, "Today's celebration banquet is to celebrate our underworld army, sweeping the mountains above, eradicating one side of evil, everyone has made great contributions, this king has thanked everyone for their great support."

"We are loyal to our duties, and it is a matter of course," the underworld officials and ghosts said in unison.

"Let's defeat the Wutong ghost and hold this celebration banquet early, it's all up to Chu Piaoran and Meng Ge to go deep into the tiger's den, I want to invite this great person to sit next to me, are you convinced?"

"Convincing" everyone.

"Brother Chu is loyal and brave, and he is indeed a rising star in the underworld, and I Zhong Mou is the first to admire," Zhong Kui said.

"Okay, Chu Piaoran, Meng Ge, please come to my side and take a seat," King Yudu beckoned to the two.

Although Meng Ge is a ghost official in the underworld, she is just a right-hand man under Meng Po, an ordinary little ghost official in Meng Pozhuang, and secondly, she only follows Piao Ranzi, as an assistant, and the king of Xudu invited her to sit beside her, but she never expected it, and she was suddenly cramped and uneasy, and she seemed at a loss, and she didn't know what to say.

"Saint Kings, great commanders. Piao Ranzi turned around and arched his hand, and said loudly: "This time to defeat the Wutong Ghost Army in the upper mountain, all the people fought with their lives. Chu only made a little effort, and he just wanted to redeem his merits. The Holy King was kind, but Chu really didn't dare to take it. ”

"Chu Piaoran, I sincerely ask you, you have to push back. "The king of Xudu said.

Piao Ranzi wanted to excuse himself, he said in his heart: The seat in the middle is too eye-catching, and he sits on it, and he looks proud of his merits, so he can't go.

Without waiting for Piao Ranzi to open his mouth again, the bull head and the horse face flew over, pulled him up from left to right, dragged him to the middle table, and said with a smile: "We sincerely invite you to take a seat, don't dismiss everyone's mind." ”

King Yudu got up and said with a smile: "Chu Shengjun, if you don't sit down again, it's your fault." ”

In this way, Chu sat down. Piao Ranzi said to everyone again.

"Chu Shengjun is really from an immortal Confucian background, so much courtesy," Miaoguang Zhenjun said with a smile.

"Many people are not to blame" Zhong Kui was immediately displeased when he heard it: "Mo Dao Confucianism is wrong, and the poems and books are not worth it." If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good. Zhong appreciates the old brother Piaoran very much, and he hates to see each other late."

Before Zhong Kui's death, he won the top prize in the examination and was interviewed in the Chang'an Golden Palace, but Tang Tianzi abolished his champion only because of his ugly appearance. Zhong Kui was furious, touched the temple and died. After his death, he was consecrated as a god by the underworld, and twice led the ghost soldiers to level the demons and kill the ghosts, and everyone and God knew it. When I saw Chu Piaoran today, I had the Confucian demeanor of him more than a thousand years ago, and I sincerely admired him.

Miaoguang Zhenjun has cultivated immortals since he was a child, and he hates the red tape of Piaoranzi, which provokes Zhong Kui to refute it, he looks at this ugly ghost, forget it, Miaoguang Zhenjun has to endure it - Zhong Kui is too ugly, very inconsistent with his aesthetic views, if he looks at him face to face and speaks, he will stammer.

"Meng Ge, what are you still doing in a daze" King Xudu beckoned to Meng Ge, and in this way, Meng Ge sat on the right side of King Xudu.

"The celebration banquet begins, everyone will have a toast for us in the same boat and break the five evil ghosts" King Xudu raised his glass and signaled to everyone.

"Cheers, cheers" is humane.

"Cheers to a big win" is humane.

After the king of Xudu drank the first glass of wine with everyone, the iron-masked judge stood up: "This time I exterminated the upper mountain, but the evil ghosts led by him have all escaped justice, and it is difficult to say that I have won a complete victory. ”

"Not bad, not bad. Seeing that the iron-faced judge had an iron face, the king of Xudu felt very disappointed. "However, the five-way ghost is responsible for finding the Buddha by fighting the victory, this monkey has great powers, let's just listen to the good news. Wutong Taimu, an old woman, is lonely and difficult to speak, and Wufu Chitose will only spread some plague ghosts, so there is nothing to worry about. ”

"For the Seven Immortals of Muke, two died, and the remaining five were all seriously injured by me, and they couldn't walk in the realm for at least a few years. "Cloudy Ghost Monarch Dao.

"Okay everyone, today is a celebration banquet, everyone is a meritorious person, you should drink a few more glasses. Anyway, in the afternoon, the teacher returned home, and everyone drank happily.

"The Holy King is reasonable" Zhong Kui picked up the wine glass and said to Piaoranzi: "Brother Chu, you go undercover in the upper mountain, you are the one who has made great contributions to the upper mountain, Zhong Mou will respect you first" After speaking, he drank it all.

Piao Ranzi picked up the wine glass, thanked Zhong Kui, and then drank it. The king of Xudu also toasted Piao Ranzi, and Piao Ranzi got up and thanked him. At the beginning of the banquet, everyone toasted Piao Ranzi, and Piao Ranzi returned the salute, he was addicted to alcohol for the past two days, and he just drank happily today.

Everyone saluted Piaoranzi and toasted Meng Ge. Meng Ge was very embarrassed: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am a woman, and I only have three glasses of wine, thank you here." ”

Meng Ge drank three cups, but stopped drinking, which made everyone very unhappy. Seeing that Piaoranzi was drinking boldly, without the slightest drunkenness, King Yudu said with a smile: "Everyone, although Meng Ge is a hero, his credit is not as great as Chu Piaoran's, and the amount of alcohol is not as high as Chu Piaoran's drinking, so let's persuade Chu Shengjun to drink two more glasses."

Everyone said yes in unison. The king of Xudu took the lead, and everyone took turns to toast Piaoranzi. Piao Ranzi didn't refuse, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank heavily.

In the blink of an eye, when it was time to apply for the afternoon, the king of Xudu saw that everyone was drunk, and got up and said, "This is the end of the celebration banquet." Everyone, you have also seen it, Chu Shengjun is really massive, I mention yì, on the way back to the underworld, you two generals are a group, and take turns to invite Chu Piaoran to drink, how about it?"

"Okay," everyone said in unison. "Then disperse, everyone go back and lead the army to open up"

"Holy King, I'm the first to invite Chu Shengjun," Zhong Kui stood up and said.

"Hmph, our five true monarchs are pioneers, and we should be the first to invite Chu Shengjun," Miaoguang Zhenjun also got up and said.

"I'm the first level demon handsome, I should be invited first" Zhong Kui didn't give in.

"Okay, okay, I think tonight, Marshal Zhong Kui will invite Chu Shengjun first, and from tomorrow, the two ghost armies will take turns to invite Chu Shengjun to drink, until the underworld. "King Xudu made the referee, and Miaoguang Zhenjun and Zhong Kui no longer argued.

Eleventh Road Ghost Army Division, 130,000 ghost soldiers marched westward again, along the way with flags covering the sun, whipping golden kicks, and singing triumphant songs.

The army did not move until then, and before it had traveled two hundred miles, it stopped at Anza. In the evening, Zhong Kui invited Piao Ranzi to come to the barracks, and called a few little ghost soldiers to accompany the wine, from the evening to the middle of the night, and then drank until dawn, when the army was marching out, Piao Ranzi was drunk and hazy, Zhong Kui was even more blushing and thick-necked, the two were supported by the ghost soldiers, got on the horse, and headed west......
