Chapter 112: Attending the Banquet
While Mo Liang was immersed in his cultivation, the sky gradually changed from early morning to noon, then to evening, and finally it was completely dark.
Mo Liang's cultivation went straight to practice for a whole day.
Mo Liang withdrew from his cultivation state, looked at the sky, and it was almost time for the banquet to begin, so Mo Liang got up and washed up briefly, and came to the main hall.
Leng Yue and Hu Yue'er had already returned, and the three of them were sitting together with Hu Qing'er at the moment, leaning their heads together and muttering that they didn't know what they were talking about.
Maybe it's because they're both women, the three of them seem to have become good sisters in just one day, Hu Yue'er's personality is much more cheerful than her sister Hu Qing'er, and she is saying something excitedly with a small face at the moment, causing the other two to burst out of laughter like silver bells from time to time.
Seeing Mo Liang's arrival, the pair of fox sisters Hu Qing'er and Hu Yue'er hurriedly stood up and saluted, while Leng Yue's face was a little unnatural.
"What are you talking about, so happy?"
Mo Liang stepped forward and asked curiously.
"No, nothing."
Hu Yue'er rubbed her fingers nervously, and said in a low voice, her eyes were full of nervousness, and then she whispered: "I'm sorry, Childe, Yue'er shouldn't go out without Childe's consent, if Childe wants to be punished, then punish Yue'er alone." ”
After speaking, Hu Yue'er stood in place nervously, not daring to look directly at Mo Liang.
Mo Liang shook his head and said, "When did I say that I was going to punish you." ”
"Huh? Childe, aren't you angry with Yue'er? ”
Hu Yue'er raised her head and asked with some puzzlement.
"I'm not that small." Mo Liang smiled faintly and said: "It's just that this Shangyuan City may be a little unpeaceful recently, after all, you have a special identity, so it's better to go out less recently, otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause some unnecessary trouble." ”
"Okay, Yue'er understands."
Hu Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and a smile appeared on her little face again.
"I'm going out for a trip, and I might be back late, so you don't have to wait for me." Mo Liang Dao.
"Okay son."
Sisters Hu Qing'er and Hu Yue'er nodded in unison, indicating understanding.
Mo Liang turned his head and walked out of the small courtyard with confidence, and Leng Yue opened his mouth behind him, wanting to say something, but he still couldn't say it.
It wasn't until Mo Liang's figure completely disappeared from the field of vision of the three of them that Sister Hu Qing'er sat down again, and Hu Yue'er looked at Leng Yue and said, "Sister Leng Yue, don't you want to ask what Gongzi is going to do?" ”
"Why do you ask this?"
Leng Yue asked rhetorically with some puzzlement.
"Childe is so powerful, and he is so handsome and chic, aren't you afraid that he will be taken in by a woman outside and be robbed of his love by a knife?"
Hu Yue'er asked as she pretended to be surprised.
"You girl, don't talk nonsense."
Leng Yue's face turned red when she heard this, and she snorted.
"What nonsense am I talking about?" Hu Yue'er stared at a pair of sparkling beautiful eyes and said: "In my opinion, if you like one, you have to reveal your heart directly to the other party, otherwise I am afraid that I will suffocate to death." ”
"Yue'er, don't say it."
Hu Qing'er gently pulled her sister, although Hu Yue'er was a little reluctant, she still listened to her sister's words and didn't say more.
On the contrary, after Leng Yue listened to Hu Yue'er's words, her beautiful eyes flashed a trace of confusion, and she pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.
......
Juyi Building is the largest restaurant in Shangyuan City, and it is also the place with the highest consumption, and those who can come here at this time are all people with heads and faces, and ordinary people are not even qualified to step into Juyi Building.
But Mo Liang just showed the invitation that Qiao Shan gave him during the day and lit it up to the guards at the door, and suddenly the guards turned one hundred and eighty degrees, bowed their heads and led Mo Liang to the largest private room on the top floor of the Juyi Building.
The guard pushed open the door of the private room for Mo Liang, it was not so much a private room, but a huge main hall that was more suitable, the area was a few points larger than the area of the Jade Pavilion auction hall, at this time, a huge rectangular wooden table was placed in the center of the private room, and the table was full of all kinds of delicacies, including some spirit fruit treasures, which could be sold at a high price in the outside world, but here they were taken by anyone.
At the same time, there are dozens of beautiful maids shuttling through the private room, and plates of food and wine are placed on the table like flowing water, this scene is really surprising.
When Mo Liang arrived, there were already many people of the same age as Mo Liang sitting on both sides of the wooden table, some men and women, who were talking and laughing with each other at the moment, and when they saw someone coming in, these people's eyes only stayed on Mo Liang for a short time, and then they started talking to the people next to them again.
Sitting down in a position next to the wooden table at will, Mo Liang picked up a spirit fruit like grapes and put it in his mouth, the entrance of the spirit fruit suddenly turned into a warm flow into the body, and at the same time, a clear fruity fragrance overflowed in Mo Liang's mouth, Mo Liang couldn't help but nod secretly, it was worthy of the banquet held by the disciples of the Shangyuan Sect, if it was really a big deal, I am afraid that the cost of tonight's banquet alone is estimated to be an astronomical amount.
Just as Mo Liang nodded secretly, a warm voice sounded in Mo Liang's ears: "In Xia Feng Hang, dare to ask Brother Ren's name." ”
Mo Liang turned his head to look when he heard this, and saw a young man wearing a blue and white jade robe with a face like a crown of jade looking at him, and when he saw Mo Liang looking, the young man nodded and smiled slightly, looking very gentle.
"Mo Liang."
Mo Liang also nodded in response.
"It turned out to be Brother Mo." Feng Hang bowed his hand slightly, and then asked, "Brother Mo came to the banquet alone tonight?" ”
"Exactly."
"Then it seems that Brother Mo must be very confident in his own strength." Feng Hang smiled slightly when he heard this.
"It's okay."
Mo Liang said casually.
Just as Feng Hang was about to ask more, the door of the private room was pushed open again, and a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes and a long sword at his waist walked in. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the private room was shocked, and then their eyes were staring at the sword-carrying young man, it was really Xiao Luoyu, such a Tianjiao actually came?
Facing the surprised gazes of everyone, Xiao Luoyu calmly looked at the people present, and then sat down in an empty seat, his body was straight, even if he was sitting, he gave people a sword-like feeling.
Feng Hang, who was sitting next to Mo Liang, also looked at Xiao Luoyu with a shocked expression, and seeing him like this, Mo Liang asked, "Brother Feng, who is this Xiao Luoyu?" ”
"You don't even know Xiao Luoyu, who is ranked seventy-sixth on the Heroes List?"
Feng Hang looked at Mo Liang in confusion, as if he was looking at a dumpling from the countryside.
"It turned out to be Tianjiao on the list of heroes, no wonder these people reacted so much." Mo conscience knew it in his heart.
And Xiao Luoyu's appearance seemed to be an introduction, and then several Tianjiao on the list of heroes arrived one after another, and the appearance of each Tianjiao would cause a burst of exclamations, and for a while, the atmosphere of the entire venue reached its peak.
When everyone came and sat down, a young man with a slightly rough face got up from his seat and said in a loud voice, "Everyone. ”
His voice was not loud, but it rang in the ears of everyone present, and for a moment everyone stopped talking and looked at the young man.
Facing everyone's eyes, the corners of the young man's mouth raised slightly: "Thank you for coming to the banquet tonight, let me introduce myself, I am Jiang Xiaotian, the initiator of this banquet." ”
"It turns out that this person is Jiang Xiaotian."
Mo Liang was a little surprised, this young man noticed it when he first came in, and at that time he only felt that this person was a little different from others, but he didn't expect that he would actually be the initiator of this banquet.
And when they heard that this young man was Jiang Xiaotian, the others were a little surprised, they were originally a little complaining about the fact that Jiang Xiaotian had not appeared until now as the initiator of the banquet, but who knew that the people had already come, but they had not found out.
But it's not to blame that they can't recognize Jiang Xiaotian, but they come from all over Southern Shenzhou, and they haven't met before, and Jiang Xiaotian is a disciple of Yuanyang Sect, his status is very high, and he is a figure they can't see on weekdays, so it's not a strange thing that they can't recognize Jiang Xiaotian.
"I wonder what is the meaning of Brother Jiang's initiation of this party tonight?"
Someone asked the question in everyone's hearts, they didn't know each other, they all came to Shangyuan City from all over the world to participate in the Zhegui Tea Party, but soon after arriving in Shangyuan City, they received an invitation from Jiang Xiaotian, with the mentality of meeting the monks of the same generation, coupled with Jiang Xiaotian's special identity, so they agreed to come to the banquet.
In the face of everyone's doubts, Jiang Xiaotian glanced at everyone present and said, "The main purpose of this banquet is to provide an opportunity for everyone here to talk, you can exchange your cultivation experience with each other, and you can even exchange hands or barter for trades. ”
"To put it simply, you can treat this banquet as an ordinary gathering between peers, and I think this may also meet the needs of some of your colleagues here."
"I see."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but some people still asked with some hesitation: "But we are not familiar with each other, what if someone has a bad heart and is ruthless in the competition, or is shoddy in the transaction?" ”
Jiang Xiaotian said with a serious face when he heard this: "Although you can rest assured, this gathering is very important, if anyone dares to kill or use any shady means, don't blame me Jiang Xiaotian for turning his face and not recognizing people." ”
"As for the shoddy things in the transaction, if anyone dares to do this, I will not let him go either, so what do you have to worry about?"
"He is worthy of being a disciple of the Yuanyang Sect, and he admires it."
Someone gave up their hands in admiration.
"Praise it, since you all have no opinions, then I announce that this banquet has officially begun."
Jiang Xiaotian laughed and waved his hand.
When the words fell, the venue suddenly became lively, everyone was looking for suitable objects to talk or exchange, and many people were trading, and for a while, the whole private room was like a small vegetable market, and the sound was boiling.
"This Jiang Xiaotian has some skills."
Mo Liang sat in his seat and did not move, there was a pot of fine wine on the table in front of him, and Mo Liang scanned the situation in the private room with his eyes while drinking.
Although the private room seems to be bustling and chaotic, it is faintly divided into several circles, and the circle headed by Jiang Xiaotian, the initiator of this party, is mainly formed, and those Tianjiao who are on the list of heroes form a circle, they sit together, while looking at the lively private room scene, while drinking and talking, everyone else wants to talk to them, but they are all sent away by Jiang Xiaotian and their words.
The other thing is that the children of those families and the disciples of the sect form a circle together, and they exchange their cultivation experiences with each other, exchange transactions with each other, and vaguely exclude other outsiders from the outside.
As for the last circle, there are those scattered cultivation geniuses who have no background, they gather together to form a circle, but they are relatively simple compared to the other two circles, not only are they a little worse than others in terms of cultivation, but even the things they take out and trade are much worse than those in other circles.
"That's rejection."
Seeing this scene, Mo Liang sighed slightly in his heart, no matter what period it is, there will always be prejudice and rejection among the monks of the human race, and these children of powerful sects or families always have a natural sense of superiority in their hearts when facing monks who have no background in casual cultivation, and they have a sense of rejection in their hearts for these monks of the same generation as them.
Therefore, in some places, these noble-born children often unconsciously group together to exclude the monks from the casual background.
In the same way, monks who are born in casual cultivation will even become cautious when facing their peers who are born in powerful forces, for fear of inadvertently offending the other party and bringing disaster to themselves, so even if these people have the talent to not lose to the other party, they will often lose their enterprising spirit because of this cautious mentality, and after a long time, they may even wear out the Dao heart that has become stronger.
And once you don't have the Dao heart to become stronger, you are destined to have no chance with the strong in this life.
