There were wine and food stacked on the table, and the tables around Zhou were already full of people, and the shopkeeper of Songyi Building saw that the master and apprentice were on the table, so he hurriedly put on a smiling face, and came up and bowed his hand to the old man in a proper manner, and said, "Dare to ask, old man, but the knights on the rivers and lakes?"

The old man didn't pay attention to him, but Lu Qingxue on the side nodded and said, "Qingyun is straight up." ”

The shopkeeper still said with a smile on his face: "Since I agreed, this is not the great joy of the eldest prince of the Confucian Mansion in Chaoping City recently, and he invited the heroes and knights of the Quartet, and he ordered it earlier, saying that if there are people in the rivers and lakes and high-ranking officials, everything that is not known must be told." ”

The little beggar sitting next to him was confused, but he was still amused by the old man, there was a plate of meat and three dishes on the table, and the old man also held a wine jug in his hand, filled himself with a glass, and drank happily.

"The clouds are rising. ”

The shopkeeper's words had to come from Mo Liyu's chuckle, and he asked rhetorically: "The shopkeeper wants to ask the people in the rivers and lakes, don't you know that Qingyun is straight up?"

The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly and said: "The ordinary people, I really don't know the rules and cuts on the rivers and lakes, if you annoy the guest officer, the guest officer should not take it to heart." ”

"Okay, junior brother, don't talk about it, shopkeeper, we'll go to Confucianism after eating in a while. Lu Qingxue said.

When the shopkeeper heard that he said yes, he retreated.

The old man picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in the little beggar's small bowl, and said: "Eat enough, eat for nothing, lay a good foundation, wait until you return to Qingyun Mountain, teach you to practice for the teacher, and teach you to practice martial arts." ”

"You're not my master yet!" said the little beggar, wrapping his two little hands around his hand.

The old man straightened his face and said to Lu Qingxue: "Xue'er, quickly take this meat and eat it, this little beggar won't have to eat meat if he doesn't be your junior sister." ”

Lu Qingxue sneered: "Yes, Master." ”

The fat meat was picked up by the chopsticks, the little beggar was anxious, and took a bite on the chopsticks, the fat meat was soft and glutinous and sweet, sprinkled with a lot of powdered sugar, and it was really sweet to eat in the mouth, and the little beggar said vaguely: "Master, Master, I love meat, I love meat." ”

"Now you want to call Master? It's too late, you just don't have a share of this meat. The old man laughed, and the white beard was dragged by the little beggar, and he didn't care, just grabbed the little beggar's little hand.

The people around looked strange, an old man teasing a beautiful girl and calling him master, it was really strange, but no one paid attention to him.

There was a sound outside, and the people in the rivers and lakes who were the first to hold the sword were dressed in green, and there were twenty or thirty people behind them.

"First put on a few jars of good wine, charter a few side rooms, and pick some lean meat and meat. A sword-wielding disciple stepped forward and proudly touched a small flag in his hand.

Xiao Er's cloth who wiped the table threw it on his shoulder, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day of great joy for the Confucian Mansion in Chaoping City, and there is already news that the heroes from all over the world will be invited to go to the Confucian Mansion to eat wine and meat, and the monks and Taoist priests of Shaolin and Wudang have also gone to the guest officials for a day. ”

"Confucianism, everyone, the roast chicken and pork you eat are good, but it's too little, you look at our Wanjianmen this is no less than a hundred and ten brothers, I can't eat enough to go there, don't you just finish eating the wine and then come to your restaurant to eat a big meal, okay, the wine and food room is ready quickly, and I will pay the money first." The man who spoke took out two small silver ingots from his pocket and threw them into Xiao Er's arms.

"Ah, this ......" Xiao Er was about to speak, glanced at the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper nodded, and continued to code the abacus.

Xiao Er's eyes rolled and said: "Then please invite all the heroes to sit in the wing room on the second floor, and every four guest officers will be equipped with a Bianliang roast chicken, two catties of mutton, a plate of silver osmanthus fish soup, and then a small shop famous Fenqing, guest officer, okay?"

"Yes, yes, the second brother is very good at trading! In this way, five more catties of yellow mutton will be sent to each table, and then. ”

There was no time to refuse, a golden ingots were thrown in his hand, and the little second brother took a look, and weighed it in his hand, it was full of weight!

Xiao Er had a smile on his face, bowed and sent these uncles to the wing room on the second floor, and hurriedly ran down to hand the gold ingots in his hand to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was taken aback, the tooth mark on the ingots is still there, that's right, it is indeed a real small gold ingot, this guest is really generous enough, two small silver ingots, plus this gold, not to mention twenty or thirty catties of yellow beef, even a big yellow cow is only twelve or three taels of silver.

The shopkeeper muttered: "These Jianghu people are really generous, a meal of wine and meat is the meal money of ordinary people, I have really seen it in the past few days." ”

The little beggar heard clearly, chewing a big piece of meat in his mouth, and the old man was telling her that he would go back to Qingyun Mountain in the future and let her make a big bow and then re-apprentice to the teacher, saying that when the time came, he would invite many masters to let her know.

Qingyun Mountain, she has never heard of it, let alone seen it, Uncle Qi treated her well in the past, and now this old man treats her well, the little beggar couldn't help crying tears, the old man said to himself, drinking wine while talking, Lu Qingxue and Mo Liyu finished eating, went to book a room, and made the bed upstairs. The little beggar misses her father, she forgot her father's appearance half a year ago, and now she misses her father, and she only has sporadic memories.

"Don't be afraid, good boy, your master and your senior brothers who have never met will take care of you in the future, look at your senior sister Lu, how much I like you. The old man touched her head very charitentially and said, and the little beggar nodded vigorously.

Full of wine and food, the little beggar burped, and the senior brothers and sisters also came down, Mo Liyu looked at her with a long sword and said, "Okay, okay, look at what he eats, his belly is smooth." ”

Lu Qingxue chuckled, the old man also smiled, the little beggar scratched his head embarrassedly, and two small dimples appeared on his pale face.

The four of them went out of the restaurant and walked towards the Confucian Mansion, and on the way they saw many sedan chairs being carried by the servants towards the Confucian Mansion.

The door of the Confucian Mansion was erected on the platform of a pole of the sect flag, Shaolin Temple, Zhengyi Sect directly hung the word flag, hanging in the first place, and the banner is Emei, Qingcheng two factions, the Emei faction is all women, the disciples wearing crimson clothes came more than 30 people, sitting at a few tables, the same is drinking wine and eating meat, the ancestor Situ Xuankong passed down a set of white ape swordsmanship since the establishment of the sect, many Emei reclusive masters entered the Emei faction, on swordsmanship alone, self-proclaimed slightly better than Wudang.

"Dare to ask the predecessors which sect on the rivers and lakes they are, and the villain registers and makes a book. ”

Jianghu people are like this, they don't send many things, but they all like the master of the Confucian Mansion, and there may be some jewels in such a small box.

"Tianshu Pavilion looked at the door, left Qingfeng. The lord of Tianshu Pavilion heard about the Confucian banquet, and specially ordered me to come to present a gift, this bottle of Tianshu Pavilion healing elixir, with a lot of rare herbs, internal and external injuries can be swallowed, can save people's lives. The man claimed to be Zuo Qingfeng, threw the small box into the child's hand, and walked in by himself, ignoring the eyes of the people around him, his body was like a ghost, and some people were surprised, and he couldn't find the trace of Zuo Qingfeng for a while.

Lu Qingxue saw the gate of the Confucian Mansion from afar, and said to the old man, "Master, the Confucian Mansion has arrived." ”

Mo Liyu also saw it, looked at the generous door and said: "The Confucian Gate is really magnanimous, look at such a big door, I don't know that I think this is the palace inside." ”

"One person is enough to shine for thousands of years, and Old Master Kong is really powerful. It was the old man who spoke, and he looked at a line of small words written on the Confucian Mansion: The first authentic Confucianism.

There is also a Confucian banner written in the Confucian Mansion, which is full of young and handsome people in Jiangnan and Hubei, and young people are beautiful.

"The seniors came to the Confucian Sect to congratulate them?"

The old man lowered his eyes, and Mo Liyu beside him nodded and agreed: "Qingyun went straight to Ling Tianmen, write it down." ”

Ling Tianmen?

There were also many people in the rivers and lakes around, and they all turned around in the first moment, with surprise on their faces, and some people recognized them in astonishment and said, "Qingyun is straight up, white-clothed, the people from Ling Tianmen actually went down the mountain?"

"I actually said that it was Ling Tianmen's person, it's been more than ten years, and Ling Tianmen really hasn't come down the mountain for too long!"

"Anyone who has seen the people of Ling Tianmen, let's see if it's true!"

"Nonsense, more than ten or twenty years, Ling Tianmen except for a flying star who had already gone down the mountain and traveled in all directions to the Imperial City Division in the palace, how could any of us young juniors have seen someone who came out of Ling Tianmen. ”

There was also a strange whisper: "Senior brother, I don't know where Ling Tianmen is sacred? It's been ten years since I joined our sect, and I've never heard people talk about Ling Tianmen. ”

The senior brother looked at him and said: "The long-lost Ling Tianmen on the rivers and lakes has almost become a rumor in the market, I saw it once in the forbidden book room of our Double Snake Sect, sixteen years ago, there were people from Ling Tianmen who appeared in the rivers and lakes, and fought with the then Demon Sect Leader Nie Shaozai in the Zenyuan Temple, many famous sects on the rivers and lakes have senior masters to watch. ”

"The result?"

There were some young disciples around, and some young people from other sects came close to listen to some rumors about the rivers and lakes, even the well-mannered talents and handsome men looked at them.

"I've written it down, seniors, please come in. The boy said, he was an ordinary person, ordered the inkstone ink on the table, and continued to ask the next visitor who was going to enter.

The old man swaggered in, Mo Liyu and the female disciple Lu Qingxue also followed, and the little beggar took Lu Qingxue's hand and looked around.

Within the high walls on all sides, there were no less than 300 large tables in the wide hall, and many people did not have a place to sit, and they were embarrassed to occupy others, so they could only stand and eat wine and meat.

The sealed wine jar is piled up on a hill, the feast has begun for most of the day, and the wine jar that has been drunk is only a small half of the wine jar that has not been opened, and there are still maids and small servants who can be seen everywhere are busy.

There is everything on the wine table, roasted burnt mutton, fat pork knuckle, fat herring in stewed soup, that is, chickens and ducks, etc., I don't know how many have been prepared on this day, I can't eat the chicken, duck and fish meat of this Confucian Mansion, and I can't drink the wine that Confucius has already prepared.

Zhengyi Shaolin occupies a few round tables at the front, in addition to a small plate of tender yellow croaker soup on their table, it is a complete vegetarian dish, eggplant and melon, the chef's skill has nothing to say, that is the chef who retired from the imperial court, dare not slack off the Zhengyi Shaolin who came from afar, the master of the Confucian Mansion is very attentive, not only hired the imperial chef to make these dishes, but also found a living silver snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountain, and gave it back to the abbot of the Shaolin Temple who came here in person to repay the master.

Someone urged the person who was about to speak, and the man said: "Okay, okay, if you want to know, go and ask your seniors, in short, I just want to say, this Ling Tianmen, self-proclaimed Qingyun Zhishang, and the martial arts masters more than ten years ago called them the top of the rivers and lakes." ”

"It's really a big breath, above the rivers and lakes, it's really arrogant!"

"That's it! How big these rivers and lakes are, no matter what the devil's way, but in front of so many heroes of the rivers and lakes who came this time, who dares to say that they are above the rivers and lakes?"

The young man who was piled up with spoken words was not annoyed, but smiled: "This is recorded in a forbidden book, and it is not a legend of the rivers and lakes, maybe there is, maybe not, and now the leader of the Demon Sect has already changed others, what is there to argue, besides, look at those martial arts seniors, which one is not staring at that old man?"

Some of the young people around hurriedly looked in the direction pointed by the young man, indeed, many of the senior masters who were eating meat and drinking wine were slanting at those few people who claimed to be Ling Tianmen, especially the old man who was the leader, and their eyes fell even more.

"Oh, why don't you know that. Someone opened his mouth and said, glancing at the people around him.

"What's wrong?"

"Have you ever heard of the famous Flying Star Hand Yu Hua Nian on the rivers and lakes?" the man asked.

Someone replied to him, "The Imperial City Division's capital commander Feixing is in the year of Huanian?

"Tut-tut. The man laughed in a low voice, and many people around him showed different colors, and then the man smiled and spoke: "Didn't you hear the seniors over there chatting?, that flying star hand in the year is actually ......"

"Actually, what? Say it quickly!" The people who heard it were angry, and someone kicked him in the ass, and he screamed in pain and hurriedly said, "Yu Huanian is a person from Ling Tianmen." ”
