"Old Master Lin, after saying goodbye four years ago, the younger generation met you again."

Seeing the old man walk in, Xu Fengshi immediately stood up, although the friendship and understanding between each other was not deep, but he still had several encounters with the old owner of the Lin family manor who often ran business in Yulin Island.

"I still remember you, you're the Xu kid who did outreach, right?" The old man walked in with a smile, greeted everyone one by one, and sat down on the main seat.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the dog Lin Ruwen, my only son, who has been helping the old man take care of the family business all these years." The old man gestured to the man who had just come in with him.

"Ruwen has seen gentlemen and ladies." Lin Ruwen's age looks similar to Shi Cheng, his appearance is elegant, and he has a scribe demeanor, and everyone present couldn't help but feel good when they saw him for the first time, and everyone got up and returned the salute.

Since the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce had already told the Lin family that Iron Mask had injuries on his face, he had to wear a mask (of course, this was Iron Mask's usual excuse), so the Lin father and son were not surprised when they saw Iron Mask, the masked man.

"Who are these guests?" Although he had already read the list of tenants, after all, the list did not list the specific identities of all the guests, the old owner of Lin still asked Xu Fengshi about the identities of everyone, and when his eyes swept over the hair of Han De'a, the eyes of the old owner of Lin showed a trace of disgust that was well hidden.

"Ah, junior, I'll introduce you to it." Xu Fengshi hurriedly started with Yang Qingwen and introduced the owner of Lin Zhuang one by one.

When introducing the three Shi Cheng, Xu Fengshi said: "These three sons are pharmacists between the East and the West, this Wu Gongzi is from the Eastern Continent Wu State, this iron-faced iron boy with a mask and Shi Chengshi Gongzi are both Chita people, in addition, don't look at Shi Gongzi as young, he is a silver medal Dan master certified by the Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce!" ”

Xu Fengshi knew that Wu Neng didn't like to tell his full name in front of others, so he only introduced his surname very intimately, and when introducing Shi Cheng, he emphasized Shi Cheng's identity as a Danshi.

Sure enough, when he heard Shi Cheng's identity, Lin Ruwen almost stood up from his chair in shock.

"Shi Gongzi is the Dan Master of the Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce?" Lin Ruwen lost his voice.

Although the owner of Lin Zhuang who was sitting next to Lin Ruwen was also surprised in his heart, he had seen a lot of winds and waves in his life, so he was still calm on the surface, but his still shrewd eyes couldn't help but look at Shi Cheng more.

Just when everyone was polite, He Cai instructed his servants to bring all kinds of appetizing dishes and fruit wine brewed in the manor.

"Yulinzhou is far less rich than Da Wei, but the old man has been running this Zhuangzi for many years, not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and seas, it is more than enough to come up with some delicious dishes to entertain everyone, please please, this meal is a family banquet, everyone should be at home, don't be restrained." The owner of the forest village stretched out his hand to greet everyone.

The servants handed over a variety of hors d'oeuvres, including a red, green and purple salad, a cold-cut lamb with a spicy oil dipping sauce, a golden and sweet pumpkin pie, a red and sour and hot braised fish steak, a fresh seasonal fruit platter, and a sweet and sour mushroom soup. The ingredients used in the hors d'oeuvres are not expensive, but it can be seen that the chef is very careful when cooking, which can also be well corroborated by Wu Neng's eyes staring at the plate.

Shi Cheng picked up the bamboo chopsticks with his right hand, and was about to clip a piece of fish steak to taste first, just when his hand reached out in the air, Xu Fengshi seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, Fengshi forgot to explain to you in advance that Mrs. Yang Qingwen is a believer in the sage of Jingmiao, so please eat with your left hand." ”

Shi Cheng's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and then slowly retracted them, he glanced at Yang Qingwen and found that her face had some displeasure on her face, and after hearing Xu Fengshi's proposal, her face looked a little better, and she nodded politely.

Shi Cheng thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered the article he had read from a book of Eastern Continent Chronicles, saying that in the era of the ancient gods, the ancient demons led by the evil gods attacked the human race and the demon race at the same time. Before a critical battle, due to the shortage of materials, the army was decadent for a while, and the proud disciple of the Qingyun Holy Venerable, Jing Miao Sage, stood up publicly, in front of everyone, personally fed on grass roots, tree bark and other things, and refused the hot meals, and instead distributed these meals to the warriors who fought bravely, which greatly increased the morale of the army on the Zhengshen side, and won the war. However, since a few decades ago, the Wei State and Hanyuezhou have been in a great way to interpret the scriptures, and many Jingmiao believers regard their left hand as a sacred hand because of this allusion, and many believers who are accustomed to using their right hand later forcibly turned themselves into left-handers, and there are even extreme believers who cut off their right hand in anger because it is really difficult to break the habit of using the right hand. In addition to switching to his left hand on weekdays, the followers of the Jing Miao Sage will also ask others to use their left hand when eating and doing things with them, as a sign of respect for the ancestors.

Shi Chengxin recalled the journey from Kawa Country to Kenbin Country, and found that Yang Qingwen had really been doing things with her left hand, but the three of them had not eaten with her, so today they knew the identity of Yang Qingwen Jingmiao's believer.

Iron Mask was still a little unclear, and it wasn't until Shi Cheng pulled him to explain in a low voice that he understood. Wu Neng has lived in the territory of Wu since he was a child, and he also knows the etiquette of various sects under the influence of his ears and eyes.

Lin Ruwen asked: "It turns out that Mrs. Yang is a believer who believes in the sage of Jing Miao, please forgive me for not preparing the hospitality well, dare to ask Mrs. if she has any other preferences in the dishes, we can also try our best to prepare it for you." ”

Yang Qingwen shook her head and said, "No need, what I like to eat, I may not be able to buy it in Kenbin Country." ”

Seeing Yang Qingwen say this, Lin Ruwen no longer insisted.

After tossing like this, the host and guests at the dinner table switched to eating with their left hands, but the interest of the old owner Lin didn't seem to be as high as it was at the beginning.

Switching to eating with his left hand naturally did not hinder Shi Cheng and Tie Mian, but it was still a little troublesome for Wu Neng, seeing the smooth fish and mutton slipping out of the pair of chopsticks in his hand again and again, Wu Neng, who had become a bitter gourd face, simply used a spoon to dig the fish into his mouth, or used chopsticks to fork the mutton with chopsticks regardless of Sven, and then sent it to his mouth.

Soon, the hot dish was also served, a large fragrant roast platter of roasted meat, with emerald lettuce as a base, and a roast pile of charred and crispy roast beef and mutton on the periphery of the beef and mutton, surrounded by a circle of barbecued sausages made from the estate's homemade sausages, and a circle of roasted potato chunks and raw shallots sprinkled with salt and black pepper, and the servants of the estate handed a dipping plate for the Lin father and son and each guest, which contained four dipping sauces to satisfy the different tastes of the guests.

Xu Fengshi is very talkative, just after a round of wine, he talked with Lin Shaozhuang, the owner of Tiannan Haibeidi, the two of them have not met much on weekdays, but when they chat, it is like a reunion of old friends who have known each other for many years.

Shi Cheng and the three listened quietly and cooked silently, Wu Neng originally wanted to interject a few words, but his experience was too shallow, so in order to prevent embarrassment and embarrassment, he finally kept his mouth shut honestly.

Chatting and chatting, the topic turned to the Kenbin Forbidden Zone, where a strange treasure is about to appear.

"Has your chamber decided to enter the forbidden zone?" Lin Ruwen asked as she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

Xu Fengshi nodded and said, "The monks of Yunhemen who will be invited by the association have arrived, Yunhemen is a big faction of the rivers and lakes backed by the Five Lakes Alliance, and they will always be invited to help, and it is inevitable to come to the treasures inside." ”

"Are the top few sects in the country not interested in the treasures in the Kenbin Forbidden Zone at all? Judging from the vision of the birth of this treasure, the quality of the spirit treasure is not ordinary. ”

"As far as I know, those real big sects are now concentrating on the prizes of this Sword Blade Conference, although the strange treasure in the Kenbin Forbidden Area is good, but it can't be compared to that prize. Brother Lin, you must know that this Sword Blade Conference is hosted by the Qingyun Sect, which is the most authentic in the world, and there is no need for the younger brother to talk about how extravagant the prizes will be. The last time Qingyun Sect personally hosted the Sword Blade Conference was twenty-six years ago, and it was the time when the chaos was very strong, and all kinds of materials were very tight, but that year's rewards were even more generous than usual, and the Zhenyun Sect, which won the first place, directly created four half-step grandmasters after eating the prizes! Do you know what this concept is? Among the top twenty sects in the Great Wei Dynasty, the average number of people in each sect who can cultivate to the half-step Grandmaster Realm is twenty-one, and although the exotic treasures in the Kenbin Forbidden Area are good, in my opinion, at best, they are only a quarter of the effect of the Qingyun Sect's prize twenty-six years ago. ”

Hearing this, Shi Cheng's ears also pricked up, he had already seen the news related to the Jianfeng Conference from the newspaper, and the place where the Jianfeng Conference was held was in Shengshan County in the north of Lingnan County, Shengshan County and Lingnan County both belonged to Lingnan Prefecture, and the South General Altar of the three main altars of Qingyun Sect was set up in Shengshan County. As early as when he was in the Western Desert Kingdom, Shi Cheng had proposed to go to Lingnan County together after leaving the Western Desert, in fact, he also wanted to take a look at the Jianfeng Conference.

Lin Ruwen asked suspiciously: "But as far as I know, according to the agreement of the rivers and lakes, in order to avoid undermining fairness, the top five Orthodox Sects are not allowed to send disciples to participate in group battles, and only a few young disciples between the ages of fourteen and eighteen are allowed to participate in individual battles." ”

"The prize this time is not the same, everyone, I also heard the gossip, but I think the credibility is quite high, this time the prize is that you can enter a newly discovered secret realm, since it is a secret realm, then the five authentic people will go in and see together, and no one can say no."

"Secret Realm?" Everyone present looked at each other, this is the first time everyone has heard of this kind of prize, although the people of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce are not people in the rivers and lakes, but a giant chamber of commerce like them inevitably has to deal with the sect on weekdays, "Isn't the matter of entering the forbidden area or secret realm used for trials and cultivation for the people of your own sect, how can it be used as a prize for the Sword Blade Conference?" ”

"Who knows, maybe that secret realm is more special." Xu Fengshi shrugged.

After the other people of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce were amazed for a while, everyone's topic quickly turned back to the Kenbin Forbidden Area, and the three of Shi Cheng were more and more surprised when they listened, although there was no giant sect to explore the treasure this time, but the name of the well-known sect could really make up a small basket, this small forbidden area with a radius of more than 100 miles, on the day when the treasure really appeared, I was afraid that it was more lively than the vegetable market.
