Chapter 138: Banquet and Hospitality Discuss the Tao and Solve Doubts

As for the reason for Song Que's truce, everyone couldn't figure it out, but they didn't care.

As long as the end result is good, they are acceptable regardless of the process.

And now the result is that the battle between Song Que and Zhao Mingyuan revealed their peerless cultivation, and finally ended peacefully, and no one was obviously injured.

This is exactly the best outcome for them.

Therefore, they didn't care about Zhao Mingyuan's inner doubts. Just said, if you don't understand it, you can ask directly in person at the banquet in the evening.

Then, Zhao Mingyuan was pointed to his gray robe by Song Yuzhi and said: "Don't worry about these for now, you have come all the way, and you will fight a big battle before resting, so let's hurry up and go to the bath and change clothes to rest." ”

Zhao Mingyuan looked down, he had ridden thousands of miles, and he was already in the dust, and the battle just now was even worse. It may be a bit of an exaggeration to describe it as ragged, but it is really embarrassing, and you need to take a shower and change your clothes.

So, Zhao Mingyuan didn't shirk anymore, and under the arrangement of the Song family, he came to a quiet courtyard to bathe and change clothes.

It's just that while taking a bath, Zhao Mingyuan suddenly thought of Song Que leaving in a hurry, and a thought couldn't help but come to his mind.

Song Que was in a hurry to leave, could it be because he didn't want others to see his embarrassed side?

Could he be taking a bath at this time?

Although I feel that this conjecture has lost Song Que's perfect personal image, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this conjecture is very likely to be true.

It couldn't be that Song Que was seriously injured and almost wanted to vomit blood, so he reluctantly left, right?

It's impossible to think about it, but this guess is more reliable.

Thinking that Song Que might leave without saying a word with a cold face in order to maintain his image in front of everyone, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help laughing.

The lord of the cold face valve has a majestic face, but he is worried about the death of the society in his heart, what kind of third-rate plot is this?

However, Zhao Mingyuan knew that even if he was a master, it was possible to have a personality in private.

After all, he himself is still the number one master in the world, and he has ascended the throne as the king, is he really more noble than others?

The time soon came in the evening, and the Song family had already prepared a reception dinner and invited Zhao Mingyuan to the banquet.

Although the number of people attending the dinner was small, it must not be said that this reception banquet was not grand enough.

Because except for Zhao Mingyuan, the few people at this table are all surnamed Song, and they are all the most important people in Song Valve.

Song Zhi, Song Lu, Song Shidao, and Song Yuzhi are all the closest relatives of the Song family.

Needless to say, Song Que, the lord of the valve, has already taken on a new look and sat majestically in the first place.

As if intimidated by its majesty, everyone sat upright and did not say a word.

Seeing Zhao Mingyuan come in, Song Que, who had been sitting at the top with a solemn face, suddenly smiled, and beckoned to Zhao Mingyuan at the door: "Mingyuan is here, waiting for you!" Come, sit here! ”

As he spoke, Song Que even patted the vacant seat beside him and motioned for Zhao Mingyuan to sit beside him.

As Song Que's face changed, the atmosphere in the field was like an iceberg melting and the earth rejuvenated, and it was suddenly relieved. Everyone in Song Valve relaxed and greeted Zhao Mingyuan.

The scene was so harmonious that it seemed like it had really become a family feast.

Zhao Mingyuan sat beside Song Que in a daze, feeling Song Valve's careful hospitality, and there was still some unreal feeling in his heart.

Not long ago, he and Song Que faced each other with a sword, fighting to the death, and even almost died in the Knife Grinding Hall.

And now the two of them are close together, sitting around the same table, toasting together.

That's a big difference!

Could it be that this is recognized by Song Que?

It's like treating Zhao Mingyuan as their family, is this an alliance and marriage?

This banquet is not only a family banquet, but also the power center of Song Valve, which can determine the future direction of Song Valve.

Everybody's here, obviously talking about big things.

And the major event between them is naturally the alliance and marriage of the Zhao and Song families.

The rules of the Chinese, important decisions are discussed at the wine table, and the conference room is just a final formality.

It seems that this is also the case today, and this custom can be passed down for thousands of years, and it can be regarded as a part of Chinese culture.

In the same way, it is also part of the wine table culture to do the foreshadowing before talking about business.

Therefore, Song Zhi and Song Lu took on the burden of enlivening the atmosphere, starting from the introduction of the Lingnan special dishes on the table, and talked about the customs and habits of Lingnan and the characteristics of various ethnic groups, so that Zhao Mingyuan listened to it with relish.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very harmonious, but Zhao Mingyuan finally broke the atmosphere and asked if Song Que had left his hand when he dealt with that move.

It's not that he doesn't have enough concentration, it's that this issue is too important, so that Zhao Mingyuan is like a fish in his arms, and he doesn't vomit or feel unhappy.

Hearing this question raised by Zhao Mingyuan, Song Valve and the others immediately quieted down and looked at Song Que one after another.

Obviously, they are also curious about the answer to this question.

It's just that it may be that Song Que is too powerful, and they don't dare to ask him at all. Therefore, I have been waiting for Zhao Mingyuan to ask this question for a long time.

Faced with Zhao Mingyuan's question, Song Que had such an expression on his face. Obviously, he had already guessed that Zhao Mingyuan had this question.

It's just that Song Que didn't answer Zhao Mingyuan's question directly, but instead asked Zhao Mingyuan: "Do you know what happened to my sword domain and the sword qi that came from behind you at the time of my last move?" ”

Zhao Mingyuan shook his head, he really didn't know, he only had some guesses, thinking that it was Song Que's unique secret method.

After all, he himself has a similar sword domain, doesn't he?

Although Zhao Mingyuan's sword domain is not as large as Song Que's, maybe there is some trick in it.

Song Que did not hide it, but told Zhao Mingyuan that this was some attempt on his path after the Great Grandmaster.

Since he had practiced knives in the Sharpening Hall for many years, he naturally slowly discovered the sword qi and knife intent emanating from the Sharpening Hall. After research and attempts, he naturally found that he could get some bonuses in the Knife Grinding Hall and have stronger combat power.

Later, he used the whetstone as the cornerstone to sort out the sword qi and knife intent scattered in the entire knife grinding hall, imitating the dojo in myths and legends, and condensing his knife domain.

Facts have proved that in the Sword Domain, Song Que's strength has indeed risen to a great level, almost beyond the scope of the Great Grandmaster, reaching the realm of the Supreme Grandmaster.

It's just that his sword domain is not a real realm after all, it can only exist in the knife grinding hall and cannot be moved, so it is naturally not perfect.

Even so, Song Que also believes that this exploration of the future road is still effective.

Moreover, just looking at the similarities between his sword domain and Zhao Mingyuan's sword domain, the two of them coincided and both built the prototype of the domain, which shows that this is indeed a path for martial artists to become stronger.

Zhao Mingyuan's ability to open the sword domain with him also provided him with a lot of references, if the two of them communicated with each other, they might be able to carry forward this path and truly walk out of a great avenue.

As for Zhao Mingyuan's question of whether he is merciful, in fact, the real winner is him.

Song Que said: "My sword domain is the result of decades of condensation, but it was broken by your sword, how can I have decades to re-establish the sword domain?"

Since then, Song's strength is no longer what it used to be, so naturally you won. ”

In the face of Zhao Mingyuan, he asked if he still had the strength to spare, but he did not attack Zhao Mingyuan behind his back.

Song Que explained with a smile: "You have also cultivated the prototype of the realm, you must understand that to maintain a sword domain as large as mine, the consumption of essence and spirit is definitely not small.

And in the end, I even induced the sword qi that had been stored in the whetstone for many years to swoop out from behind you.

How could it be so easy to induce the sword qi that had been stored for many years?

That move has actually exhausted all my energy, and it is difficult to move again, so I can only watch you show your flaws, but I can't attack, so that you can win the final victory.

Or else?

Do you think I'm really trying to make you fail?

In fact, I did run out of energy in the end, so I had to admit defeat. ”

Hearing Song Que say so reasonably, although Zhao Mingyuan still had some doubts, he had to admit that he was very reasonable.

didn't wait for him to think about it, but he heard Song Que say: "I solved your doubts just now, but I also have something unclear and I need you to answer seriously."

That is, why did you choose to attack behind when you ended up with the choice between front and back.

Although it is true that the sword intent in the back is stronger, your final choice is not wrong.

But I was still standing in front of me!

Why did you choose that?

Do you already know that I have run out of energy? ”

Zhao Mingyuan shook his head and said, "Actually, I really don't know which side to choose.

In the end, when the crisis came, I could only unite my sword and let the sword in my hand lead me to attack.

It wasn't that I chose to attack the rear, but that my sword guided me in that direction. ”

"Good, good!" Song Que was amazed, slapped the table happily, and laughed loudly.

The people in Song Valve have never seen Song Que laugh so presumptuous for many years, especially the little characters like Song Shidao and Song Yuzhi, they have never seen Song Que laugh so happily.

Everyone couldn't help but be amazed, wondering why he was so happy.

After a while, Song Que's laughter went out, but he was still full of smiles, and said happily to Zhao Mingyuan: "That's right, that's it!"

Song didn't know any knife moves at all, and everything relied on the knife in his hand to tell me what to do.

Now, although you practice swords, you have also entered this realm.

My way is not lonely, my way is not lonely!

Hahaha~"

Hearing Song Que say that he didn't know any sword moves, everyone was surprised and unbelievable.

As the world's No. 1 knife master, Song Que actually said that he didn't know how to use knife moves, how could people believe it?

However, Zhao Mingyuan is convinced of this. After all, it is mentioned in the original book.

Thinking of his perception at that moment, thinking of "there is nothing other than the knife", Zhao Mingyuan suddenly understood.
