It was noon, there were dozens of desks in the inner courtyard of the ancestral hall of Hekou Town, various dishes and wines were displayed, and the entire ancestral hall was shrouded in the aroma of wine and meat.

Outside the ancestral hall, the people of Hekou Town lined up in a long line, and everyone came to offer their best food.

Only the most sincere and highest-status townsfolk are qualified to sit and eat with the immortal elders of the Holy Lotus Sect in the courtyard, which is an honor and an immortal fate.

In order to show their sincerity, each household brought out the best of the best.

It's a pity that the people of Hekou Town have made offerings many times earlier, and many families have long been overwhelmed, and they really can't get any good things at home.

Dozens of tables of wine and food have been gathered, and the entire town has almost been emptied.

But the people are still happy in it, thinking that on the road to seeking immortals, the food is all dross, and they will become immortals in the future, and they don't need to eat at all.

However, there are always so many wealthy families in a town, and the family can afford a sheep, then it must be more face-saving, and it is appropriate to leave a seat at the banquet.

The folk couple mixed in the crowd, carrying a pot of dozens of catties of mutton, which attracted many envious eyes.

But the couple didn't have any expression, they kept their heads down all the way, and no one knew what their expressions were.

"There is a evil animal in the family who slanders the immortal chief, can you behave well to please the immortal family? Otherwise, not only will you not be able to become an immortal in the future, but you will have to go to eighteen layers of hell. ”

Not far away, the townspeople of the same town said sourly.

The couple still didn't react.

The two came to the entrance of the ancestral hall, and there were people from the Holy Lotus Sect guarding them: "Which family, which household, what is it given?" ”

The two put down the cauldron and opened the lid, and a rich aroma of mutton came to their faces, with a smell, which is the most unique sign of mutton.

The guard's saliva flowed out at once.

Mutton is a good thing, even if it is rich, it is not something that you want to eat.

The woman said, "Li Fu's family, slaughtered the last sheep in the family, and gave it to all the immortals to taste." ”

The guard didn't say much, picked up the scoop in the pot and scooped up a scoop of soup, and drank it regardless of the burning mouth.

The rich flavor of the mutton soup stimulated the taste buds, and the guards shook their heads so beautifully: "Tut-tut...... This smell is strong enough! ”

A pot of mutton soup attracted several more people, and they came to taste it first.

Several people tasted it separately, and they still couldn't get enough of it, and especially praised the couple's sincerity, and let them go directly into the inner courtyard and take their seats.

Mutton soup is not uncommon on the dining table in the inner courtyard, and I don't know which one serves the sauce meat that is eye-catching.

Not for anything else, but for this sauce meat is a raw cow to be slaughtered.

In the fifth year of Zhenguan, slaughtering cattle in broad daylight is celebrated, and only in the Holy Lotus Sect can we see such a spectacle.

It was not early, and the disciples of the Holy Lotus Sect and the Famous Sword Villa arrived and sat down one after another, even with the hundred and ten townspeople behind them.

This meal was a great deal for the townspeople, but for the Holy Lotus Sect, it was a light meal.

There was nothing to say during the banquet, and everyone ate separately.

Bai Song was also in the middle of the banquet, and he also sat among the core members.

There was wine in front of the table, and the Dharma Protector took this opportunity to pour wine for Bai Song as an atonement.

Bai Song was absent-minded, scanned the surroundings, and found that he didn't see Mo Lao.

"Deputy Envoy Bai, what are you looking at? Cai, as a protector of the Dharma, has wrongly blamed Deputy Envoy Bai many times, which is really a sin. This glass of wine ......"

"Why don't you see Mo Lao?"

"Mo Lao has something to do temporarily, so he will go first. What is the matter with Deputy Envoy Bai? ”

Bai Song shook his head: "It's nothing...... Since Mo Lao is not here, there is less trouble. ”

"Trouble?"

"It's nothing, just a casual talk. Why don't you see the Holy Envoy of the Southern Regions? ”

The Dharma Protector frowned, and said in a low voice: "This person has bad intentions, I'm afraid he has absconded in fear of crime at this moment." ”

Bai Song smiled, did not break it, raised the wine glass with a smile and took a sip.

At this time, a steaming bowl of mutton soup is served.

In ancient times, there was a lack of spices, and the smell of mutton was extremely strong, but it was this smell that instantly aroused everyone's taste buds.

For a moment, the entire table was filled with the sound of swallowing saliva.

"This sheep is delicious enough, you can drink it hot, and when you are full, you will have the strength to hurry." We still have two days to go to Yangzhou. The Dharma Protector took the lead and spoke.

Everyone was unceremonious, and they served soup one after another.

When he arrived at Bai Song, Bai Song waved his hand and signaled that he didn't want to.

"Deputy Envoy Bai, this sheep soup is the best thing, don't you want to taste it?"

"Recently, the liver fire has been too strong, and the mutton soup is too hot to eat." Bai Song replied lightly.

Everyone knows that Bai Song is a doctor, and it is not strange to pay attention to his own conditioning, and the people at the same table don't take it seriously.

Sitting next to Bai Song was Qing'er, who had a soft spot for mutton soup, and rarely took the initiative to get up and want to serve a bowl.

Bai Song frowned, got up to stop him.

Bai Song's action instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Qing'er was also quite puzzled, and looked at Bai Song suspiciously.

"Bai Gongzi, this ......"

"Miss Qing'er forgot the allergies on her face? Your constitution can't drink this. ”

Bai Song's calm face was very serious, and with Qing'er's understanding of Bai Song, she seemed to see a different signal in the other party's eyes.

Qing'er frowned slightly, not knowing what Bai Gongzi was going to do, but instinct made her choose to give up and sit back in her place silently.

Although Bai Song's statement makes sense, it seems a little strange in the eyes of everyone.

But for a while, I couldn't feel what was strange.

However, in addition to Bai Song and Qing'er, among the core members of this table, there was one person who did not serve sheep soup.

This person is the owner of the Famous Sword Mountain Villa!

The Dharma Protector was very vigilant, stared at Shangguan Ke suspiciously, and asked in a low voice: "Zhuang Master, why don't you drink this sheep soup?" ”

Shangguan Ke smiled and said easily: "Protector, Shangguan can't stand the smell of mutton, so you can see it." ”

"Can't stand the smell of mutton?"

The Dharma Protector frowned and thought, instinctively feeling that things were not that simple.

At this time, a person next to him smiled and said, "Dharma protector, what are you doing here?" They don't eat us, and when the mutton soup is cold, it will be tasteless. ”

So saying, the man took a sip.

"Wait!" The Dharma Protector suddenly scolded in an aggravated tone.

Everyone was startled and looked at the Dharma Protector inexplicably.

"Wait a minute, everybody!" The Dharma Protector said in a deep voice, then took out a silver needle from his sleeve and put it into the mutton soup.

At the same time, the Dharma Protector narrowed his eyes and stared at Bai Song deadly.

Bai Song saw this scene and noticed the eyes of the Dharma protector.

At this moment, Bai Song suddenly sat up straight and met the gaze of the Dharma protector meaningfully.

The atmosphere suddenly became serious, because Bai Song and the Dharma Protector looked at each other, and there seemed to be a signal of danger in the air.

Everyone looked down at the mutton soup in their hands, and suddenly they were in a trance, and they couldn't help but ask secretly in their hearts, is there really something wrong with this mutton soup?

After half a minute, the Dharma Protector finally withdrew his gaze, and at the same time took out the silver needle and put it in front of his eyes.

The silver needle did not change color!

"Hiss......" The Dharma Protector took a breath, feeling a little weird.

The silver needle is still as usual, exuding a silvery white luster.

"Not poisonous?"

"Harm!" Someone on the side sighed and patted the Dharma Protector on the shoulder: "Dharma Protector, what are you doing here?" What a meal, you made so nervous! These drinks and food are all tribute from the townspeople, and the whole town is ours, do you still think that those stupid people can poison us? Even if it is poisonous, with the skills of everyone here and the medical skills of Deputy Envoy Bai, there is no need to worry at all. ”

After speaking, the man drank the mutton soup in one gulp, and then sighed: "It's delicious!" ”

And then another bowl.

A pot of mutton soup was not much on dozens of tables, and everyone began to scramble for fear of being robbed.

Seeing that everyone began to eat wine and food, the Dharma Protector's somewhat hanging heart also relaxed.

It's ridiculous to think about it, but the person just now was right.

Everyone here is an old man with decades of skill, why are they afraid of poison with their internal strength? Even if it is toxic, it can be forced out by internal strength.

Besides, even the silver needle has been tried, how can it be poisonous?

Thinking about it, I also drank the mutton soup in one gulp.

Seeing this scene, Bai Song showed a knowing smile, and then looked back at the other tables in the courtyard, and saw the people at the other tables chatting heartily, holding hot mutton soup in their hands, and eating mutton in large gulps.

Bai Song narrowed his eyes and looked at the sun above his head a little strangely, with an indescribable sense of relief.

There was a sentence that Bai Song held in his heart, if it wasn't for greed for life and fear of death, he would have wanted to shout it out loud.

But now, he can only say silently in his heart: "Girl, brother has avenged you!" ”

Everyone greedily indulged in wine and meat, and only Qing'er paid attention to Bai Song's every move.

In Qing'er's eyes, Bai Gongzi is not a person who will make strange moves for no reason, and the current Bai Gongzi must have something else hidden in his heart.

"Bai Gongzi, what did you do?" Qing'er took advantage of everyone's inattention and asked in a low voice.

Bai Song smiled and leaned into Qing'er's ear and whispered something.

Hearing Bai Song's words, Qing'er's eyes widened in shock, and her eyes suddenly became frightened when she looked at Bai Song.

Bai Song pinched Qing'er's little hand with his left hand, and gently patted the back of his delicate hand with his right hand: "Qing'er, now you have two choices, one is to watch them die one by one, and the other is to tell you everything you heard and let me die with them." ”

Qing'er sat in her seat in a daze, in a trance and at a loss.

Bai Song didn't say any more, he kept silently holding Qing'er's hand, not relaxing for a moment, and at the same time he didn't forget to drink and praise enthusiastically with everyone present, looking familiar.

And Qing'er just sat in place, and the chopsticks never moved.

Seeing Bai Gongzi dealing with everyone around him as if nothing had happened, Qing'er's heart felt a trace of fear for this man for the first time.

At the same time, Qing'er also had a lot of doubts in her heart, was Bai Gongzi's words true?

Bai Gongzi's poison can make everyone present have no life?
