Section 6 Birthday Banquet and Resignation
The previous nightmare startled Shi Yi into a cold sweat, and after sitting for a while, Shi Yi turned around and picked up the jacket that had just fallen due to waking up. He stood up and looked outside, the snow on the roof melted, ticking down the eaves, I don't know when, the chickadees began to chirp again, all this indicates that the cold is fading away, the earth is warming, but at this moment, Shi Yi's heart is never colder.
............
The rest of the time, Shi Yi felt extremely slow, he had never been to the study building since he was drunk that day, he was packing his bags every day, and he couldn't wait to escape from here.
Finally, the birthday of the ancestor has finally arrived, and after today, everything will end......
Early this morning, Luo Yun went to the back mountain alone, Xing Yue's residence is here, and only Xing Yue lives in the entire back mountain, which can be said to be quite secluded, Luo Yun also recalled that he used to be here, practicing martial arts with his brothers and sisters. However, the silence here today was broken by the noise, and the flow of people was endless, Luo Yun smiled when he saw this, and went straight into the courtyard through the side door.
"Luo Yun, after many years, you have gained a lot of weight. At this time, a white-haired old man suddenly walked briskly and said to Luo Yun with a smile.
"Hehe, in addition to sleeping and eating all day long, it's hard not to gain weight. It's the elder brother, still the same as at the beginning, old and strong. Luo Yun found out that the person who came was Senior Brother Zhang Tuo, so he said with a smile.
"Hehe, I'm getting old, especially in recent years, and I feel like it's getting worse every day. I am really ashamed to give it to me, this word is used on the master and his old man, and it is well deserved. Let's ask, who in the rivers and lakes can be like the master, who can still be able to convince the heroes of the rivers and lakes in his old age. Zhang Tuo sighed with a smile.
"Senior brother's words are really good, look at this courtyard full of guests, docile as a chicken and rabbit, if it is not for the prestige of the master, with the sect that has been destroyed over the years, the famous family that has been destroyed, I am afraid that you and I are brothers, don't want to walk out of this courtyard vertically. As she spoke, another man came and sneered.
"Tu Fan, be cautious. Today is the master's birthday, don't say something out of tune. Hearing Tu Fan's words, Zhang Tuo frowned, and said with a smile.
"Yes, I am really happy to see the old man today, especially to see the old man today. Second senior brother, don't come unharmed. Tu Fan came closer, didn't look at Zhang Tuo, stared at Luo Yun and smiled.
"Hehe, Tu Fan, you are a lot more cheerful than before, and your previous stuffy gourd personality has also changed. Luo Yun looked at Tu Fan and laughed and joked, and his words were not at all like he hadn't seen him for more than ten years.
"I'm still me, just as I was before. I just saw that the second senior brother was happy, will the second senior brother complain about me and avoid it for more than ten years?" Tu Fan asked with a burning gaze at Luo Yun.
"Hey, it's been so many years, what's not wronged, and it's still my own brother. The loneliness in Luo Yun's eyes flashed for a moment, and then he said with a smile.
"Senior brother, don't worry, after today, I owe you, and I will repay you with interest. After saying this, Tu Fan arched his hand to Luo Yun and left reflexively.
"Tu Fan has really changed a lot. Luo Yun pondered for a moment and said to Zhang Tuo.
"I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and who will remain the same, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. Luo Yun, you sit down first, I have to greet the guests on behalf of the master. Zhang Tuo didn't know what he thought, sighed with emotion, lost some interest in chatting, and then left with a confession.
Luo Yun casually found a seat, watched Zhang Tuo leave, and sighed that it was really a matter of right and wrong, there were five senior brothers, and he used to have the best relationship with his senior brother Zhang Tuo and the third junior brother Tu Fan, but now he is not speculative. As for the fourth elder Yansen, because he started a little late and was scheming, Luo Yun was a little repulsed by him, and the fifth Xue Xiao sneaked into the door after Luo Yun was injured, so he had never been in contact, but I heard that he was very young.
In this way, while thinking about some people and things in the old days, Luo Yun picked up the wine gourd he had prepared on his waist and poured himself a drink.
There was a constant stream of guests, and the scene lasted until noon, and there were still people with gifts, and they kept coming here.
The banquet spread all over the courtyard, and the disciples in the door acted as miscellaneous servants, serving food to and fro for the guests until the meal was almost finished, when Xing Yue was late, only to see him pick up the wine glass, toast a glass of wine to the guests, and then leave everyone and leave alone.
Although this act was rude, no one present dared to complain. Because five years ago, someone just paid the price for this, the price of extinction. The shackles of time seem to have lost their role in Xingyue, ordinary people know that a generation of new people on the rivers and lakes will replace the old, the old, weak, sick and disabled will be ruthlessly eliminated, or die in vendetta, or finally be injured, in short, the years are ruthless, and it is right to die when you are old. But Xing Yue broke this law, getting old and strong and even getting stronger and stronger, always making people feel incredible, I believe that after a bloody lesson, as long as Xing Yue is alive for a day, no one dares to challenge his status.
Luo Yun was actually quite worried before he came, worried that the master Xingyue was really old and confused, and if he couldn't even recognize himself, it would be really troublesome. But just when I saw Xing Yue come out, as before, he was still the master with a childish face and full of energy, and even looked younger than his senior brother Zhang Tuo.
Although he hadn't seen him for more than ten years, Master Xingyue still recognized Luo Yun in the crowd at a glance.
After the feast, there was a mess, and the disciples in the alliance began to work hard to clean up.
"Luo Yun, you can make it easy for me to find it, the master just ordered, let me take you to the inner courtyard to talk. The master said that it was rare for the five masters and apprentices to get together and wanted to take this opportunity to chat together. Zhang Tuo saw Luo Yun cowering in the corner drinking, and then complained and said.
"Well, yes. It just so happens that I also have something I want to talk to the master. Luo Yun said and put away the wine gourd.
Entering the inner courtyard and walking to the hall, Luo Yun found that he seemed to be the last to arrive, in addition to the Xing Yue sitting in the center, the right hand was Tu Fan, Yan Sen and an unknown young man, I think it should be Xue Xiaoqian, but Luo Yun was surprised when he saw the real person, he was indeed very young, he looked only about thirty years old, and among the remaining four, even the youngest Yan Sen was almost fifty years old, as for the senior brother Zhang Tuo, he was already sixty-seven years old. It is indeed very eye-catching to mix such a young man in the middle of a group of old guys.
Luo Yun looked at Xue Xiaoqian and smiled, but the other party didn't even give Luo Yun a straight look. After being bored, Luo Yun followed Zhang Tuo and sat in the row of seats on the left side of Xingyue.
"Since the retreat five years ago, there have been very few times when masters and apprentices have gathered together, and this time it is a birthday banquet, and it is rare for us masters and apprentices to gather here. Zhang Tuo, have you handled the things inside the door smoothly recently?" Xing Yue sighed a few words and asked Zhang Tuo.
"Please rest assured, everything in the door has been taken care of, and the second batch of cultivation disciples has also been assembled, and they can be arranged to the master tomorrow. "Since the retreat of the criminal Yue five years ago, Zhang Tuo has been serving as the head of the league.
"Luo Yun, how has your injuries been in recent years, has it improved?" Xing Yue nodded with satisfaction to Zhang Tuo, and asked Luo Yun again.
"Master Xie cares, but the chronic illness is difficult to heal, and his body is not as good as day by day. Master, the disciples came today, one is to celebrate the master's birthday, and the other is because the disciple feels that time is running out, and he wants to return to his hometown with his apprentice. Luo Yun originally planned to say this in the evening, but just now Zhang Tuo suddenly talked about recruiting disciples, Luo Yun knew the depth of the water, and he didn't want to inquire more or get involved, so he said it in advance.
"No!" As soon as Luo Yun's voice fell, a voice suddenly sounded.
