Chapter 9: The Theory of Leaving and Staying

The demeanor of the guests at the banquet is very different from elsewhere. Elsewhere with rice, mostly for one person and one case, the case is laid out on the dishes, when there is a meat soup cooked by the wok, there are servants and servants according to the order of priority and sent out, Chi Tang is a child of the family, and in the Dong Mansion kitchen maid for a long time, this kind of feast and food way to see more.

But the Qianjia family set up a huge square table in the main hall, and a group of people sat around the square table, Chi Tang felt that this way was more cordial.

Chi Tang also met Qianchong's wife, that is, the sister-in-law that Ji Rui said before, she was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and she looked like a woman from an ordinary villager's family, warm and hospitable, like a housewife.

Ji Rui and Xue Yang both cordially called her sister-in-law, and she also responded happily, obviously having a very good relationship with the cadres and their fellow families.

"Clumsy Jing Li, a countryman, make some crude meals indiscriminately, don't be too slow. Qian Chong introduced his wife in this way, and also introduced the origin of Chi Tang and his party to the Li family.

The two were another salute, Li was generous, and said with a smile: "I heard Brother Chong say that he was going to come to the distinguished guests today, but now I can be regarded as seeing it, I specially took the good wine from the village, just to let the distinguished guests have a good taste, come, eat quickly, and the guests must not see outside." ”

Chi Tang felt a warmth in his heart, he didn't go to other people's homes as guests, but his friends who were martial arts heroes had rules at home, men had dinner, and women couldn't have to sit at the same table, except for the maids who served with the wine. This is the first time I have been so warmly received by a housewife, and I can't help but feel a little at home.

Li saw Dong Yao and Bao'er again, and praised one after another: "Yo, which young lady and son are these? This young lady is really beautiful, just like the person in the painting, well, this little boy is handsome, and he is smart and clever at first glance." ”

Dong Yao was praised in person like this, a touch of crimson surged up her cheeks, she was originally a willful lady, but this was the first time she was a guest at someone else's place, she was a little shy, and she was a little embarrassed to sit next to Chi Tang.

Bao'er smiled at Li, showing a lovely smile, and Li was even more happy when he saw it.

"Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Wushi. Wu Shi couldn't wait to greet Lee.

Li Shi was slightly stunned, glanced at the thief yellow dog a few times, and quickly replied with a smile: "Hello, no food." "The wife of the eldest disciple of the Qianjia family, what strange things have you never seen?" so she was only a little surprised by the talking dog, and then returned to normal, and touched the head of Wufeng a few times in order to welcome her.

Without food, he first squeezed his eyes at Yan Haozi, and then turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Xue Yang, meaning to see how popular I am, Yan Haozi ignored him, but Xue Yang glared at him, ready to reward him with a burst before he opened his mouth to say foul words.

The family feast of the Qianjia family soon began, with stewed pork, roasted lamb shank, boiled carp, and various vegetables on the square table, a plate of dried meat patties piled high on the side of the lacquered soup beans, and the beef bone broth in the soup beans was exuding an attractive aroma, and a large pot of steaming corn porridge was placed in the corner of the square table. The dishes are varied but not extravagant, and it can be seen that the housewife is ingenious.

The dry family is not so particular, several servants can sit at the same table, just sit under the square table, so that once there is a need for help, they can easily enter and exit, and even without food arranged a seat for him, and a dog's head was exposed among the crowd, drooling and feasting.

Chi Tang praised Li's craftsmanship while eating the dishes, he had never eaten well all the way, and now he ate such a delicacy that he was really almost swallowing his tongue.

Dong Yao was still a little restrained at first, but the delicious dishes soon made her put aside the reserve of the eldest lady: "The food here is really delicious, much better than what our kitchen cooks, sister-in-law is really amazing." ”...,

Only Yan Haozi sat on the edge of the foodless, watching the saliva of the foodless dripping, but he put down the bamboo chopsticks after drinking a bowl of corn porridge.

"Why don't you eat such a delicious dish?" Wushi swallowed a large piece of mutton and asked Yan Haozi vaguely.

"I'm a vegetarian. This table of meat is disgusting to watch. Yan Haozi replied lightly.

The no-eater laughed: "You son of a bitch with such sharp teeth, you are actually a vegetarian? ”

Yan Haozi replied without being surprised: "Who raised the two of us?"

Wushi was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then said dejectedly: "I!"

Yan Haozi patted Wushi's head: "Lesson, it's not impossible to scold foul language, but if you want to understand, if you scold people and dogs or something, think about yourself first, otherwise people don't scold, but they carry themselves." ”

Wufeng said with a bitter face: "Who said it wasn't, people always like to bring the word dog when they scold and swear, I didn't think about it, I always suffered." If there is anything missing, you can mention it more. ”

Yan Haozi nodded: "What is the master doing?" Don't worry, there is a master, and you will be covered for a month, and the scolding skills will go directly to the transformation realm." ”

The idle chatter of the two little monsters was not heard by everyone, because Ji Rui and Xue Yang were giving an account to Qianchong while eating.

"This time, I picked up a catfish monster on the way, and no one paid me, so I will enshrine the spirit gathering pot in the hanging spirit room later. However, in Jingling, the Dong family helped the bandits retreat once, and got 500 gold, 30,000 yuan, by the way, and the three healthy horses given by Dongjiazhuang, which were converted into enough for next year. Ji Rui and Xue Yang took out the gold and silver from their arms and put them beside Qianchong.

Chi Tang watched their senior brothers count the accounts, remembered the conversation with Ji Rui in Dongzhuang that day, and felt that it was not easy for the Qianjia family to stand up, so he hurriedly interjected: "I also have some here, which were rewarded by the old lady and the son of Dongjiazhuang, and they are all counted. As he spoke, he had to take money out of his bosom.

Qian Chong waved his hand at Chi Tang and smiled: "Zunjun is not a disciple of the Qianjia family, you don't have to abide by this rule, Zunjun's own money, just keep it for yourself." ”

Chi Tang said dissatisfied: "Since I have come here, how can I not be a disciple of the Qianjia? Besides, if there is no Qianjia master to save me, how can Chi be where he is today? ”

Ji Rui saw that Chi Tang insisted on giving money, so he said: "Brother Chi doesn't have to worry, in this way, tomorrow, Brother Chi will have the permission of the senior brother after my Qianjia's spiritual measurement, so that he can be regarded as a person in the Qianmen, and it will not be too late to make up the money and silver at that time, so I won't talk about this tonight." ”

Chi Tang was surprised: "The art of soul detection?" Without waiting for him to ask, Dong Yao spoke: "Are you short of money? It's okay, I'll send a letter to my family and send more money, grain, and rice? Why bother to count?" Dong Yao is a young lady from a big and powerful family, and she has no concept of money since she was a child, and with the wealth of the Dong family, she can't spend it in a few lifetimes, and she has never seen ordinary people so careful in her calculations, so she doesn't care about exporting to help.

Qian Chong had already learned the identity of Chi Tang's junior sister from Ji Rui's mouth, and when he heard Dong Yao say this, he just shook his head: "Thank you Miss Dong for your kindness, it's just that the Qianjia only accepts the money they deserve, not their own, and they don't take a penny, this is the Qianjia family rule, and it must not be broken." ”

Chi Tang secretly praised in his heart, the Qianjia really had a clear intention, and he had a lot of complaints about the Qianjia's method of collecting remuneration before, but now it seems that the Qianjia has its own measure, and it is by no means the kind of profit-making family that wantonly takes money.

Dong Yao was kind, but was blocked by the other party, and he was a little unhappy, but Li saw Dong Yao's uncertain face, and said a few more thoughtful words, which made Dong Yao happy again.

At the end of dinner, Dong Yao's stay was finally discussed. Of course, this was discussed behind her back when Li took Dong Yao and Bao'er to the backroom to wash. ...,

"Zunjun, the son of Nian Shengzi's predecessor is a genius who practices the art of subduing demons, and it is a blessing for the Qianjia family to be able to succeed in my family. But that Miss Dong ...... "Qianchong is a little troubled," ...... Although she is a person of temperament, she does not have the body of a mysterious spirit, and she can't practice any method of eliminating demons, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter my family. ”

Chi Tang was also frowning and groaning, Dong Yao's whereabouts are really difficult, if she just learns swordsmanship, it's a big deal to let her return to the village, and she can teach her a few tricks in her spare time, but she has already experienced the things of demons, let her stay at home, and the demons are likely to find her, not only harming her, but also implicating the whole village of Dong Mansion. But let her go to the city of condensation to escape the world, she is safe, but she can no longer reunite with her own family, she can't bear to think about it, besides, she can't explain to the Dong family, she took Dong Yao to detoxify, and when she turns back, she can't even see anyone, how can the Dong family give up?

"I have an idea. Ji Rui thought for a long time before he hesitated and said, "Tomorrow we will go to Xiuxuan Valley first, from Brother Chi to Bao'er, and then to this Miss Dong, let's use the spirit measurement technique to test them one by one, what if this Miss Dong still has some spiritual power?

Qian Chong smiled bitterly, this is equivalent to not saying it, with his thirty years of demon cultivation, he has not been able to feel the Xuan Ling Qi on Dong Yao's body at all.

Ji Rui also knew that the words in front of him were just a kind of self-deception and comfort, and the focus of his speech was on the back.

"If it really doesn't have spiritual power, it doesn't matter, just let her live in our Qianjia for a while, Brother Chi didn't have anything to do with her a few sword moves, and it can be regarded as the friendship of senior brothers, and after the New Year, the second son of the Dong family will come over, we will let the second son take Miss Dong back, carefully tell her to tell her about the demons, and then arrange a spirit from Xiuxuan Valley to accompany her to protect her, and notify us if there is a slight mistake, and we can be rescued." When leaving Zihan Courtyard, Ji Rui specially said hello to Mrs. Zihan, originally asked the second son Dong Hu to come to Luoxia Mountain to pick up his sister, but now in this case, the only way to let the second son Dong come to the Qianjia to find it, and when the time comes, Mrs. Zihan will tell the second son of Dong, and Mrs. Zihan will naturally agree.

Qian Chong thought for a while, but slowly shook his head: "Having said that, it is difficult to do everything. That Dongjiazhuang is located at the junction of the two places of Fly Mountain and Shui Shui, in case of any powerful demons, we drive thousands of miles, I am afraid it will be difficult to rescue. ”

The seventh disciple Guo Qihuai had been listening quietly on the side, and his eyes suddenly lit up at this moment: "I think this is an opportunity." ”

"How?"

"My generation has always taken it as my responsibility to kill demons and eliminate demons, and I am not afraid of demons appearing, but I am afraid that demons will hide and not appear. Let's just let Miss Dong return to the village, isn't that what kind of guest the Dong family recruits? We sent a few junior brothers to simply devote themselves to the Dong family's doormen, and take care of Miss Dong at any time, and once the demon is really attracted to come out, we will immediately get rid of it. ”

Ji Rui slapped her thigh: "Ah, what a trick to lure the snake out of the hole, why didn't I think of it!"

Chi Tang is happy, this is indeed a good idea.

Who knew that Qian Chong still shook his head: "It's not appropriate." First, it is certainly possible to arrange for our senior brother to go to the Dong family to lurk, but what if the demon never comes? If the demon does not appear for 10 years, will our hidden senior brother hide there for 10 years? Besides, now that the demon is raging, there are many places to be busy in the Demon Dao, so how can we waste manpower in vain? Second, this plan was thought about hundreds of years ago, but what kind of city of condensation can be used to send people to escape the world? This is really a very dangerous point. Third, you said that once a powerful monster appears, you will send a white rainbow message to summon your fellow people, but you have never thought about it, once the demon is launched, how much time can you give you to deal with it?

Guo Qihuai heard the stakes and didn't say anything.

Chi Tang listened to their conversation, and when he talked about Bai Hongxun twice, his body was shocked, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly asked Xue Yang: "Brother Xue, I remember that you once told me about the effectiveness of Bai Hongxun, can you say it again?"

Xue Yang looked at Chi Tang in some surprise and replied, "I said, that Bai Hongxun was launched with the power of the secret transmission of the Xuangong of the Qianjia Sect, and it is difficult for non-spiritual cultivators to see it with the naked eye. Brother Chi is the Southern Venerable Monarch, so he can see the white light of the White Rainbow. ”

"In other words, people who don't have the power of the Xuan Spirit can't see Bai Hongxun at all?" Chi Tang's tone was a little hurried.

"yes. ”

Chi Tang Huo Ran stood up: "But before entering the village, when Brother Xue sent the signal of Bai Hongxun, Miss Dong saw it clearly. ”
