Chapter Forty-Eight: There Are Many Things in the World That Are Frowned Upon
There is no word in this world other than beauty to describe what is happening right in front of you.
This scene is really too shocking and incredible.
So much so that when the hour had passed, and noon came, Li Xiu's hand had left the plum tree for a long time, and there was a little movement above the silent plum hunting banquet.
It was the sound of breathing, and all the monks present were the monks of the Three Realms, and it was impossible for the breath to make a sound, and if it could be heard, it meant that the emotions were very intense.
Ye Xiu's face was full of admiration, and his heart was really the same as when he was in front of the academy, whether it was Tang Kingdom or Huangzhou, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World could be as calm as a cloud, calm as flowing water, and it seemed that no matter what was put in his hands, he could become at ease.
Ji Zhihua was shocked, revealing a look of great disbelief, and shouted several times that it was impossible.
The sound was very loud, and the thousands of plum blossoms on the vibrating plum trees were constantly shaking.
It also woke up the rest.
More than 200 pride sons of heaven looked at the plum tree that bloomed like a flower, and they didn't know what words to say for a while, it was the Shangqing Palace Lord who personally came forward to invite the Tiangong Taoist to make the plum tree, which contained an unknown number of meanings.
It is a great thing to want to make a flower bloom, and now Li Xiu actually made it bloom all over the tree, and it only took a moment before and after, which is a scene that has never appeared since the opening of the first plum banquet.
For hundreds of years, I don't know how many Tianjiao have come to participate in this grand event, and I don't know how many people hope to be able to use this plum tree of Tiangong Taoist to hone themselves.
No one has ever done it ever to fill the trees with flowers.
This is the first time, and probably the only time.
The pupils of hundreds of people shrank suddenly, and their hearts were extremely shocked, but they didn't dare to speak at all, and only the sound of Ji Zhihua Wuzi still refusing to believe was left in the audience.
The Plum Hunting Banquet has changed, and it is no longer the same, or it has just begun at this moment, but it has already ended.
Because no one could do what Li Xiu did, even Chun Qiuxue and Chu Yang both looked at the plum tree with complicated eyes and did not move.
I didn't even try, it's not that I don't have courage, but I have self-knowledge, it's a good thing to face difficulties head-on, but I still choose to face difficulties when I can't resist things, and if I succeed, it's called courage, and if I fail, I'm not self-sufficient.
This thing is unlikely to succeed.
Two quarters of an hour had passed since Li Xiu let go of his hand, and no one had moved half a step in this long time, and the plum blossoms were still blooming.
In the past, plum blossoming would only last for a few breaths, or a cup of tea or a stick of incense.
Now it has been two quarters of an hour, and it is two quarters of an hour full of flowers.
When this prince of the Tang Dynasty first arrived in Huangzhou, he stood proudly in front of all the so-called proud sons of the heavens, and made them only bow their heads and be speechless.
This is true at the Plum Hunting Banquet, and it is also true in Yunlu City.
Millions of people looked at the beautiful scenery of plum blossoms and trees without the slightest expression or thought of appreciation, and the indescribable shock filled their hearts beyond words, even those affiliated sect families who followed Wanxiang City widened their eyes in disbelief.
I think it's ridiculous.
A Tang person, a Tang man who has never been in contact with the Plum Hunt Banquet and doesn't even know about the Tiangong Daoist people, just used a moment of kung fu to bloom all over the tree, is there anything more absurd in this world?
They don't think so.
But Hua Yuyao's face didn't have too many shocked expressions, that face just returned to its original appearance in a trance, she and Li Xiu had an ordinary relationship, and they only met each other a few times, but they seemed to be commonplace for the things in front of them, just like how incredible and how to talk about big things in the world, as long as it happened in Li Xiu's hands, it was a trivial matter.
Somehow, she's gotten used to it.
Since Li Xiu's hand was placed on the plum tree, Chun Qiuxue has never said a word, no matter how quiet the scene is, no matter how provocative Liang Xiaodao's gaze is.
She now understood Hua Yuyao's thoughts.
I also know what kind of person this Royal Highness the Prince is.
Chu Yang looked at the look of admiration on Ye Xiu's face, his eyes lowered, and the fighting intent on his body gradually disappeared, he knew that he would not be Li Xiu's opponent, so there was no need to continue.
"I lost. ”
He spoke.
Chunqiu Xue lowered her head and was silent.
No one spoke, Li Xiu looked around, and the people who looked a little strangely avoided the sight.
He looked at Hua Yuyao and said softly, "If you don't mind, I hope you can keep your promise." ”
If they lose the bet, they will have to bear the consequences of failure, and their consequences are very simple, that is, they are forbidden to participate in the sword trial conference held in Wanxiang City.
The pride of heaven and the son of the Tang Kingdom, the son of heaven and the prince of the Tang Kingdom, who were hundreds of thousands of miles away, made a big bet.
The bet was lost.
"The Tang people keep their promises, there has always been a promise of a thousand gold, if you lose, you have to admit it, if someone repents, I will go to Baishanmen, I believe that no one wants to go to this step. ”
Li Xiu's voice sounded in the courtyard and reached everyone's ears, making these people's faces change again.
There is no doubt that they will definitely lose by Li Xiu's worship of the mountain gate, they can't afford to lose face like this, not to mention that it is really not worth it to have a life-and-death grudge with the prince of Tang Guo because of this matter, and this bet is indeed lost by them.
"Your Highness doesn't need to worry, if you lose, you lose, and we will keep our promises. ”
Chu Yang took a deep breath, and the calm on his face finally made bigger waves, and said softly.
Li Xiu nodded and looked at the others.
The others looked at each other, took one last look at the plum blossoms that were still in bloom until this moment, and finally did not dare to say anything against them, and said in unison: "We will keep our promise." ”
Li Xiu looked at Hua Yuyao again.
Hua Yuyao had a pale face on her face, what she wanted in this life was to make a greater reputation, so as to bring the Shangqing Palace to a position no less than that of the Holy Sect, and if she lost now, it would be equivalent to losing an opportunity.
But he still nodded lightly and said, "Don't worry, what the Shangqing Palace promised will definitely be done." ”
Li Xiu glanced back at Murong Xue, and said in his heart that this was indeed the truth.
This may be the fastest plum hunting banquet that has ended since the previous session, and because of the existence of this gambling contract, more than 200 people in the field are not in the mood to continue, and they stand in place one by one and look a little shaky, and it seems that they have not recovered from this shock, like a big dream.
Chu Yang's face returned to calm, but with admiration in his eyes, he said: "This matter will soon spread all over the world, Wanxiang City is not easy to provoke, not to mention a major event like the Sword Trial Conference, I don't know what the cause and effect you are talking about, but since it is cause and effect, it is impossible to stop in advance, so you will continue to do such things, but this is very dangerous." ”
Ziwei Mountain is a bright and upright force, and Chu Yang is also a bright and upright person, this is an admonishment and a reminder.
Li Xiu looked at him and said lightly: "That's my business." ”
......
......
Chu Yang understood what he meant, it wasn't what it had to do with you, it was what I could solve.
I couldn't help but bow my head slightly and said, "That's good." ”
The two should not be able to talk about hitting each other at first sight, then this is respect and admiration for the opponent.
Li Xiu rarely glanced at him more, and he could understand the meaning of his words, this is a very good person.
So he said with a rare opening: "Thank you for the reminder." ”
"Your Highness is gracious. ”
The plum banquet continued, but the people around them were already on pins and needles, eager to leave the table earlier, after the end of this gambling contract, they were not just complying with it, how to explain to the elders of the sect after going back, that is the most important thing.
One is not good, even if they are the sons and daughters of their respective forces, there is no good fruit to eat.
Liang Xiaodao kept holding Xiong Pang and didn't speak, things have developed to this point It is already excellent, and there is no need to add fuel to the fire.
"It was a good party. ”
Li Xiu stood on the side of the plum tree, holding a wine glass in his hand, and poured half a glass of wine in it, he raised it to his chest and gestured to the people around him, and said.
Everyone hurriedly raised their wine glasses, forced a smile on their faces, and said politely.
Even the Holy Son Ji Zhihua of the thirty-sixth cave reined in his previous sharp appearance, holding the wine glass silently, for some reason, looking at the young man in front of him, he actually remembered Zifei who was a generation of rampage.
Maybe this person is really like Zifei, with a peerless elegance.
The beginning will end.
It's just that today's plum hunting banquet ended too quickly, starting at three o'clock and ending at three o'clock at noon.
During this period, Hua Yuyao, as the host, didn't say anything, except for a few words with Li Xiu.
The so-called unhappy dispersal thought of this scene, but the unhappiness in front of him looked a little joyful, at least before leaving, everyone saluted Li Xiu with a smile that was uglier than crying, and then left the courtyard one by one.
There was a wind in the courtyard, and Chun Qiuxue looked up at Liang Xiaodao.
Liang Xiaodao put the raccoon on top of his head and then spread his hands to show that it had nothing to do with him, the dark clouds in the sky had not yet dispersed, and this wind should be a precursor to the imminent rain.
There is always some sign before anything happens.
is like this wind, the battle with Liang Xiaodao and Chu Yang.
And the countless plum blossoms scattered in the wind all over the ground at this moment, are all signs that something is about to happen.
The plum tree is still quietly blooming, and the plum blossoms on the tree will rise with the wind, and the original place will grow again in an instant.
It's been an hour since the flowers bloomed all over the tree.
The plum hunting banquet has ended, and the more than 200 proud sons of heaven who came to participate returned to their respective residences in a trance, looking like they should still be in a trance for a while.
The elders of the Shangqing Palace turned off the upside-down mirror hanging in the sky of Yunlu City with a pale face, even if they lost the picture and sound in that small courtyard, the millions of monks in Yunlu City still did not slow down.
The flowers bloom all over the tree, and they continue to die for an hour, which is surprising and even terrifying.
But what shocked them the most was the cause and effect that the prince of the Tang Kingdom said, they were very curious about what could make His Royal Highness, who was pampered and honored in the Tang Kingdom, not want to go millions of miles to the Wasteland, just to target Wanxiang City and this sword test conference?
And he succeeded, even if it was only the first step.
Forty-six first-class forces withdrew from the sword test conference today, including even the Shangqing Palace and Ziwei Mountain, which are the top among the first-class forces, as well as the slightly inferior Ling'er Mountain and the Thirty-six Caves.
Moreover, judging by the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, he wants to make all the first-class forces withdraw from this sword test.
Without the participation of first-class forces, no matter how much attention is paid to this sword test, what is the use?
Is the incomparably precious Cangshan Snow Quota just allowed by the so-called pride of heaven of those second-rate forces? That is the real thing that makes a mockery and a generous disgrace.
This is a big deal that hits Wanxiang City's face, but it won't be so easy to let him go, not to mention that Xue Wuye, the young city lord of Wanxiang City, is even more ruthless, Li Xiu provoked him, even if the scenery is momentary now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move forward in the future.
But Rao is like this, the shock in the hearts of millions of people has not disappeared at all, I don't know how many years, no one in the land of Huangzhou has ever dared to challenge the authority of the five major factions.
Even the Holy Sect, which has been in the limelight the most in recent years, has to temporarily avoid the front in the face of the five major factions.
The old lady who accompanied her to the Tang Kingdom as Hua Yuyao's escort last time was quietly looking at this small courtyard from a distance, her gloomy eyes were always staring at Li Xiu's back, she had seen the pride and conceit of His Royal Highness the prince in the Tang Dynasty earlier, and she didn't expect that she would not restrain herself at all in Huangzhou.
This is a barren state, with thousands of families and intricacies, if you think that you can still be like in the Tang Kingdom when you get here, it is a big mistake.
There is no Tang Law, no Beidi border army, and no academy in Huangzhou.
This time, the plum hunting banquet ended hastily, and it was not only Li Xiu who offended Wanxiang City, these first-class forces who did not participate in it were probably implicated, and there was no grudge, but if they met Wanxiang City in the future, they would definitely frown.
And there are often many things in the world that are frowned upon.
As the host, the Shangqing Palace is the first to bear the brunt, especially Li Xiu is not qualified to participate in the plum banquet, and the reason why he can participate is completely because of Hua Yuyao's acquiescence.
Thinking like this, her already gloomy gaze became even more gloomy.
She is a cultivator of the Five Realms, her realm is already high, and she is standing in the shadows, of course Li Xiu can't feel her existence, but someone can.
Xiong Fat stepped on the top of Liang Xiaodao's head with both feet, and a pair of small short legs stomped on Liang Xiaodao with a slight force, and then jumped onto Li Xiu's shoulders and rode on his neck.
Lying on Li Xiu's head, he didn't look back, just shook his tail hanging behind his back gently.
The space rippled like the surface of the water.
Blocking all visits, the old woman was slightly startled, because there was no longer Li Xiu in her eyes.
She stood there in silence for a long time, then sighed.
Turn and leave.
Tang Guo is Tang Guo, and no matter where he goes, he is the son of Tang Guo.
