Chapter 116: Appearance
The Wang family obviously attaches great importance to this banquet.
The five people who came to attend the banquet were all greeted by the Wang family in a special carriage.
These carriages are gorgeous and exquisite, and they are definitely well prepared.
Moreover, the time to arrive at the door of Wang's house was obviously calculated.
Zhou Heng arrived first, followed by Li Tonghe, Wan Hongyi, Si Ying, and Lu Xiuming.
This is based on the ranking of the tournament, but there is not much difference between the front and back.
The Wang family is a famous big family in the original Hefu City, and the house is naturally quite magnificent, with the vermilion gate, the stone lion of the town house, and the pattern of seven entrances.
Compared with Zhou Heng's mansion in Huangtong Mansion City, it is not far behind.
After Zhou Heng and the others arrived, all the members of the Wang family lined up at the gate to welcome them, and at the same time opened the gate and the side doors on both sides to show their respect for the masters who came over.
"Five heroes are invited to enter!"
There were hundreds of people in two rows, juxtaposed in two teams, forming a long road, and there was even a red carpet in the middle of them.
Such etiquette specifications have to be said to be dedicated.
There were many onlookers around who cast envious glances at Zhou Heng and the others, especially Zhou Heng, who was the leader, who was at the forefront.
However, Zhou Heng felt that this Wang family was very interesting.
In essence, the tournament was just a self-interested activity held by the Wang family in order to explore the mystery of the wordless monument as much as possible.
Judging from those restrictive clauses, the winners of the martial arts competition are just the Wang family's "perception tools".
It's just that for many people in the rivers and lakes, this may be their only chance to obtain advanced martial arts, so even if the restrictions are very harsh, at the beginning, most of them will be grateful to the Wang family in their hearts.
Therefore, normally speaking, there is no need for the Wang family to greet them with such a high standard of etiquette.
But that's what the Wang family did.
This is not only to build his good reputation as a corporal of Lixian, but also to avoid trouble in the future.
The people of the Wang family know very well that it is okay to restrict people from teaching the martial arts they have learned from the wordless tablet in the short term, after all, the time is still short, and there are not many people, but once the time is long, the number of people who are restricted becomes more, and it is a big trouble.
If these restricted people unite to deal with the Wang family, or create public opinion to try to get rid of the restrictions of those terms, it will be a big blow to the Wang family.
But if the Wang family has a very good reputation, and has always acted like a corporal of Lixian, and has always respected the perceivers very much, then they are standing at the peak of morality.
Whoever wants to get rid of the restrictive clauses formulated by the Wang family is ungrateful, that is, not moral, that is grace and revenge!
This is the power of righteousness.
Obviously, the leader of the Wang family is very cerebral and can see reality clearly.
Unlike some companies that Zhou Heng has seen on the earth, all kinds of terms are harsh, and he doesn't even bother to do superficial work, and his face is ugly and unscrupulous.
In the short term, as long as there are benefits, people can still endure it, but after a long time, or if there is any turmoil, it is inevitable that the wall will fall down and everyone will push it.
"This Wang family may have a great future, but I don't know who is the person who proposed this approach?" Zhou Heng said secretly in his heart, he walked across the red carpet with a smile on his face, and was the first to step into the door of the Wang family.
"Of course, the Wang family has to be able to survive this catastrophe. ”
The medieval wordless tablet has attracted the covetousness of many people.
There was just one question that made Zhou Heng puzzled in the past two days.
This wordless monument has been in the Wang family for ten years, why did no one care about it before, and now there are so many people who come to grab it?
Could it be that something has changed?
......
The back hall of the main house of the Wang family.
Wang Xinyue is choosing the wrench and jade pendant to bring to the old lady's birthday banquet today, she is the youngest girl in the Wang family's lineage, only sixteen years old, and is the great-great-granddaughter of the old lady.
looks like a flower and a moon, very beautiful, and is deeply favored by the old lady.
Every year at the birthday banquet, the old lady will specially ask her to come over to choose accessories to wear, in the words of the old lady, as long as it is what Xinyue likes, it is what he likes.
This old lady is the son of the first generation of the head of the family three hundred years ago, and now he is more than two hundred years old, and he is only a few decades away from the limit of the six grades of martial arts, and his mentality has almost entered old age, and he is quite fond of the younger generations in the family, especially the younger generations of the latest generation.
While choosing ornaments for the old lady to wear, Wang Xinyue asked curiously: "Ancestor, I heard my father say that our family let others understand the wordless tablet in order to interpret the mystery through a large number of martial arts as much as possible.
"Since that's the case, then why don't you let go of the news and let more people come to participate in the martial arts competition?
"Now the news of our martial arts competition is only circulating in the original Hefu City, at most it has spread to the Huangtong Mansion and other places next to it, and there are very few people who know about it. ”
"Hahaha, good crescent, you and the old man have an idea. The old lady smiled, put on a wrench, and said with a smile: "But this idea was vetoed by your father, and the spread of news about the tournament was deliberately restricted."
"That kid has always been thoughtful, in order to ensure that the secret of the wordless tablet will not be known by others through the collection of a large number of 'comprehension martial arts', our Wang family has formulated rules that restrict the teaching of comprehension.
"Such a restriction, it's good that there are fewer people, once there are too many people restricted, there will definitely be big variables, if it is only in this Yuanhe Mansion, the Wang family can still speak.
"But if you open up the scope, take the initiative to publicize, and let more people participate, it will definitely lose control, and even be counterattacked, and the gains outweigh the losses. Got it?"
"I see. Wang Xinyue nodded, as if she understood or not, and said: "It's always difficult to prevent people's mouths, and more people will definitely know about the martial arts competition in the future." ”
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, and it doesn't matter if there is a next martial arts competition. The old lady put on the ornaments, stood up, looked outside, and smiled: "Let's go, go to the front hall, everyone should be here." ”
......
Outside the gate of the Wang family's mansion.
He Mengqiu changed his appearance, became ordinary in appearance and temperament, wearing a green dress and plain skirt, which stood out to everyone.
Cloud sleeves are by her side, she is also disguised, her appearance is no longer experienced, and her clothes are also an ordinary group, looking just ordinary girls.
"Master, what you said before is true?" Yun Sleeve was a little worried, and said, "Will there really be a big change in the Wang family today?
"If he is not in danger, what is the teacher doing here?" He Mengqiu smiled: "Once something happens, the teacher will take you and him to leave this original Hefu City together." ”
"So serious?" said Yun Sleeve in surprise.
"Maybe it's just a skirmish, or maybe the entire original Hefu City is gone. He Mengqiu said: "Last night, I felt that there was an overseas scattered immortal distraction and descended across the void. ”
"Scattered Immortals!?" Yun Sleeve's eyes widened suddenly, she had heard He Mengqiu talk about such an existence, its form of existence was completely different from that of a normal martial artist, but it was very powerful.
"Let's wait and see what happens. He Mengqiu said.
......
In the other direction outside the Wang family's mansion.
This is a criss-cross alley with deep alleys, and due to the demolition and reconstruction after a while, it has been abandoned for some time, and there are few people.
Today, however, there are a lot of people gathered here.
There are men and women.
More than a dozen.
It's rare to wear black and white coarse cloth shirts, and their looks are very ordinary, and their faces are pale, their eyes are gray and black, and their every move seems to be sickly, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
But those women are all in their teens and twenties, their facial features and faces are very good, they are showy, slim, and all of them are beautiful women who are as beautiful as flowers.
They are the people of the Plague Emperor Sect and the Red Flower Palace.
Both groups are a sixth-rank martial artist leading a group of seventh-rank martial artists.
The six-rank martial artist of the Plague Emperor Sect is named Xin Shou, who cultivates the five-grade martial arts of the Plague Emperor Sect, the Black Death Plague Sutra, and has reached the seventh level.
The sixth-rank martial artist of the Red Flower Palace is called Han Yuxiao, who looks like he is in his twenties, as delicate as a girl, and is actually nearly two hundred years old.
She was in the dust in her early years, and later went through several hardships before she entered the Red Flower Palace.
Now Han Yuxiao has cultivated the ninth peak of the martial arts "Red Pill Indulgence Gong", a secret six-grade martial art, and his gestures have boundless charm, which can make people with weak willpower lose control of their lust on the spot and die.
"I've secretly arranged the sickness and poison. Xin Shou looked at the Wang family's mansion not far away, and said in a deep voice: "As soon as the notice from Lu Xiuming and Si Ying arrives, we will rush in directly, you go to distract people's attention, and we will snatch the wordless monument." ”
"Yes. Han Yuxiao smiled sweetly, her white fingers danced, put her hand on Xin Shou's shoulder, and said with a smile: "If it can be done, I can be at your mercy tonight, and my sisters can also reward these people you brought." ”
All the women in the Red Flower Palace smiled at the right time, and their charm was infinite, and the disciples of the Plague Emperor Sect who watched it swallowed their saliva, and even a few of their bodies reacted.
"More on that later. Xin Shou said lightly: "Big things are important. ”
"Okay, it's really boring~" Han Yuxiao sighed and said, "However, the previous lord said that the Five Elements Sect was determined to obtain the wordless stele, but why hasn't there been any trace of the Five Elements Sect until now?"
"Maybe they are thinking, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. Xin Shou sneered: "When we grab the wordless tablet, they will appear." ”
......
On a hill outside the original Hafu Castle.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, his mask in his arms, his pupilless eyes emitted light, shining in the void to form two light curtains, in which light and shadow appeared, and voices came out.
One of them shows the situation in the Wang family's mansion, and the other shows the situation of the Plague Emperor Sect and the Honghua Palace.
Everything they talked about was reflected in these two curtains of light.
Xuan Ge was still wearing a mask, he looked at the light curtain from the side, frowned, and said, "They all thought that this was only a six-rank battle, at most it involved a five-rank level battle......
"There is nothing wrong with limited knowledge and incomplete information. Tianshu said lightly: "This is normal. ”
"Heavenly spear, what is that wordless stele?" Xuan Ge looked at the handsome young man without pupils, and wondered, "Why did you attract overseas scattered immortals?"
"It's the Thirty-Sixth Heaven Scattered Immortal, isn't it obvious enough?" Heavenly Spear smiled, "Even if you can't guess, you'll know soon." ”
Xuan Ge was slightly silent and said, "The royal banquet has begun, and the Lord of the Five Emperors has not yet arrived." ”
"A few days ago, there was an abnormal movement in the Western Wilderness, and the energy of the two adults of the Five Emperors Inner Seat and Tianzhu was mainly focused on that side, and they might not be able to come in time. The Celestial Spear sighed.
"Shall we just stop this banquet?" Xuan Ge said, "And tell Zhou Heng the specific situation?"
"Then you and I will be killed by a few four-grade absolute peaks hidden in the dark in an instant. Tianshu shook his head and said lightly: "Let's wait and see what happens, since you and I can only do this, Zhou Heng, you don't have to worry, he has a substitute death charm in his body, and he can't die." ”
"I'm still not at ease. Xuan Ge said in a deep voice: "I'll try again and see if I can contact other adults."
"This time, even the Thirty-Six Heavens Scattered Immortals have appeared, but why don't you adults seem to be in a hurry?"
......
Inside the Wang family's mansion, the front hall and the main hall.
The decoration here is extremely gorgeous, and the strange flowers and trees have been specially brought from other places to decorate, and there are various gems inlaid on the walls, dazzling.
The old lady of the Wang family sat at the top, Wang Xinyue stood beside him, and the one sitting slightly next to him was the current head of the Wang family and Wang Xinyue's father, Wang Yuande.
In addition, the people sitting here are all descendants of the Wang family, all of whom are important people in power.
Zhou Heng and the other five people were arranged in the central seats, which were very close to everything, especially the open space closest to the center of the banquet.
In this clearing, a piece of deserving thing is covered with a red cloth.
It should be the wordless monument.
Zhou Heng, Li Tonghe, Wan Hongyi, Si Ying, and Lu Xiuming sat down one after another, Wang Yuande stood up and thanked him, and at the same time congratulated the old lady on a long life.
After some politeness, I finally got to the point.
Wang Yuande ordered the red cloth to be removed, and the true face of the wordless tablet finally came into the eyes of Zhou Heng and others.
"This is the wordless tablet?" Zhou Heng frowned slightly after seeing this wordless tablet.
This wordless stele is not strictly a stele of stone, it is an ivory white color, about five feet high, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, smooth on both sides and surface, but there are signs of fracture on the top, which seems to be incomplete.
The surface is covered with all kinds of irregular scratches, some straight and some curved, but each scratch makes people feel like they want to immerse themselves in it.
It's as if there is an endless mystery hidden in these scratches.
In particular, Zhou Heng has the basic attribute bonus of spirit +1, and in his eyes, this wordless tablet is like a huge treasure, which seems to contain the truth of the Great Dao and the true meaning of the law, so that he can't help but want to devote all his heart and soul to enlightenment.
At the same time, the Qingxia God scales he carried with him also trembled slightly at this time, as if there was some inexplicable connection with this wordless tablet.
As soon as the true face of the wordless tablet appeared.
Si Ying and Lu Xiuming's eyes lit up, and they looked at the few people around them without a trace, ready to move.
Wan Hongyi glanced at Si Ying and Lu Xiuming, and then turned his gaze to the wordless tablet, pretending to begin to comprehend.
Only Li Tonghe seemed to really come to comprehend the wordless monument, his eyes were extremely serious, and his gaze at the wordless monument even had a bit of worship, as if the believers had seen the gods.
"What is this wordless tablet?" Zhou Heng looked at the wordless tablet, suppressed the abnormal movement of this Qingxia Divine Snake Scale, and immediately made a decision, choosing to use the wordless tablet with a reward that he had received from opening the lucky bag before.
"Use the identification card!"
"Identification card: When used on a person or thing, its true information can be identified. ”
At this time, Si Ying and Lu Xiuming seemed to have received some prompt, and suddenly overturned the banquet table around them and rushed to the wordless tablet in the center of the hall.
Wan Hongyi followed.
Immediately after, a thick smoke suddenly spread, and two rays of light rushed in directly from outside the Wang family's mansion!
