Chapter 31: The Feast of the Fire God (I)
On the first day of the lunar month, there was a lot of snow, and the feast of the fire god had signs of opening.
From the time of the hour, there were all kinds of visions in the mountain fifty miles away from the city of the Fallen Immortals, the springs in the mountains began to gush out fine wine, the snow melted at the top of the mountain, and the waterfalls that had been rare for decades fell slightly.
This means that at the right time of the night, there will be a heavenly fire.
When the three of them came to the mountain, the foot of the mountain was already overcrowded, except for the countless monks of Middle-earth to pay homage to the only miracle of this great wilderness, and interestingly, there were many demons.
The Great Wilderness was abandoned because of the disgust of the gods, but all the demon merchants who looked at the money did not care about these, and enthusiastically solicited all kinds of business, some specialized in carrying soft sedan chairs to send people up the mountain, and some specialized in sending water and food, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the end was very lively.
It's just that all the springs in Yanshan have been guarded by demon soldiers sent by the Emperor of the Western Wilderness to prevent robbery, and the queue waiting for the wine is long, and each person can only make one pot.
A few days ago, Zhou Jing, who suddenly found that he was in the way, went to line up neatly, and only waved his hand at the two of them: "See you on the top of the mountain." ”
Who wanted to make Fox Zhenzhen follow closely behind, and he didn't mean to leave at all, he couldn't help but squint: "What are you doing?" ”
She replied quickly, "I want to taste this wine too." ”
Saying that, Qin Xi also lined up: "I want to too." ”
These two people are really annoyed, what kind of relationship is it? Is he avoiding it or not?
The wine bottle could only be bought from the demon soldiers, one or two silver coins, and the fox Zhenzhen muttered while taking out the money: "The Emperor of the Western Wilderness will really make money." ”
However, he is the emperor of the wilderness, and every inch of the landscape in the entire western wilderness belongs to his family, and he is already amiable if he doesn't ask for a sky-high price.
Qin Xi fished out a pot of wine, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, sure enough, the smell was fragrant and rich, which was quite different from the variegated wine brewed here in the Great Wilderness, and there was some smell of Middle Earth wine.
There were already enthusiastic demon merchants soliciting business around, and they said enthusiastically one by one: "The weather is cold, do you want to spend 20 yuan to warm up the wine and drink it again?" Three pots can be cheaper." ”
Don't mention anything else about the demon businessmen in the Great Wilderness, just talking about the means of making money, it is really pervasive.
Seeing that the three of them had handed over the wine, the demon merchant was so happy that his eyebrows fluttered, and he said in a loud voice: "I think the three monks with extraordinary demeanor must be monks from Middle Earth, right? The palace on the north side of the mountain has been under the hands of several monks with a lot of money these days. ”
"Whose palace?" Because he was taken captive by the third prince and went to the Juntan Palace, Hu Zhenzhen was a little concerned about the word palace.
"It seems that you are the first time you have come back to the mountain. The demon merchant handed back the hot wine jug, "It used to be the palace built by the Emperor of the Western Wilderness to enjoy the feast of the fire god, and after he got tired of seeing it, he showed great mercy and opened the palace for visitors to rent and play." By the way, I heard that there is a lot of alcohol over there, and my daughter is there to warm up the wine for the guests, so you have time to take care of business. ”
There is also such a good thing as continuous drinking! Zhou Jing didn't care about the two of them, and galloped away like a gust of wind first.
At that time, it was already dark, and as soon as I entered the gate of the palace, I saw that lanterns were hung on every tree, and the snow was bright in all directions, and the long tables were lined up along the corners of the wall, and the wine and pastries were indeed laid out on them. There are a lot of people around, and nine times out of ten it is Middle-earth monks talking and drinking. From time to time, there are sturdy and plump banshees in the crowd smiling and shuttling, or delivering pastries or hot drinks, the scene is lively and a little weird.
"It's a sight you won't see in Middle-earth. Zhou Jing took the big red jade on his waist into his arms, so as not to be recognized by the master and ran to make noise.
Qin Xi did the same, and also hid the Yuqing ring properly in his hair, so as not to let it hang outside all the time.
Before they could get a drink from the banshee, they suddenly heard a burst of drums in the distance, and the rhythm was very fast, and the three of them couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
The structure of the palace here is very strange, there are two layers inside and outside, the outer layer is where they stay, there is only a garden gate leading to the inner layer, and there are demon soldiers guarding it, and the drum is coming out from the inside, beating fiercely.
It is the palace again, the singing and dancing of the Lingren, and the guard of the demon soldiers inside and outside, so extravagant and extravagant, and domineering, it is naturally the handiwork of Zixufeng, and they really picked the Lingren to bring to the mountain.
Zhou Jing remembered that the annoying Purple Void Peak monk he knew was not there, and immediately smiled: "Purple Void Peak hates everything, but I like this money-burning arrogance, there must be good wine and good food in there, let's sneak in?"
That's exactly what I mean.
Qin Xi beckoned to the fox Zhenzhen, and the three of them only picked up the tree and walked under the tree like thieves.
The two young Taishang Pulse monks have absolute confidence in their cultivation, even if they sweep away the wine and food inside after entering, they will not be found out who did it, who wants to get to the wall yet, but they see the crowd suddenly separated like waves, and a column of demon soldiers came behind them, and they walked in front of the three of them.
The beast demon at the head smiled and bowed: "I heard that there are Taishang Vein monks here, the monks of Purple Void Peak, please be sure to enter the garden, and the three of you please come with us." ”
As soon as the monks outside heard the word "Taishang Pulse", their voices were in full swing. Zhou Jing was embarrassed for a while, and surprised for a while, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a thin purple light passing through the inner zenith, and suddenly realized - no, the Purple Void Peak monk he knew was actually there, and he even released the Purple Mirror to patrol, no wonder he found them at once.
What's even more bizarre is that the Purple Void Peak cultivator can even summon demon soldiers? Qin Xi said strangely: "You are?"
The beast demon guard was very calm: "We are specially guarding the palace for the Emperor of the Western Wilderness, if there are guests who rent the palace, we naturally have to do things for the guests." Please. ”
The atmosphere of the Western Wilderness is really completely different from the Southern Wilderness, this Western Wilderness Emperor seems to be looking at money, as long as there is enough money, even the demon soldiers are lent to the monks, I really don't know whether to say that he is willful or careless.
Qin Xi looked around, Tai Shangmai's identity was exposed in such a place full of monks, and most of the outside could not be left, but if he went in......
He suddenly gently grabbed Linghu Zhenzhen's arm and said, "Then go in and have a look." Miss Linghu remembers, from now on, you are our little sister. ”
*
Entering the garden gate, the scenery is very different from the outside, several nine-curved bridges are built on the water, and finally converge into a huge water pavilion. There is a white jade platform in front of the water pavilion, and there are people singing and dancing on it, and the drums are bursting. Looking up from the Jiuqu Bridge, the field of vision is really very wide, and it is indeed the best place to watch the sky fire landing.
At this time, a group of monks came up to the bridge to greet them, and the young man at the head was dressed in a royal blue robe, tall and tall, it was Zhao Zhen, a monk of Purple Void Peak that Zhou Jing knew.
"Brother Cong Hua, I didn't expect you to be in the Great Wilderness, I haven't seen you for two years, and your demeanor has become more and more extraordinary. Zhao Zhenpi stepped forward with a smile and bowed, his eyes stayed on Ling Fox Zhenzhen for a moment, and then said: "These two are your junior brothers and sisters? ”
Zhou Jing also wanted to laugh at the flesh and not laugh, but a group of monks from other sects in Wuyang flocked to the door of the self-report, and he couldn't wait to have ten mouths to deal with it, and the skin and flesh couldn't laugh very well.
Seeing that their greetings were endless, Ling Fox Zhenzhen saw a bunch of delicacies on the long table under the lamp not far away, and was about to go over to smell the smell to satisfy her hunger, when she suddenly heard Zhao Zhen ask: "This junior sister is not like a monk, is she a newcomer?"
No, she subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but Qin Xi on the side quietly stepped on her and replied very seriously: "She is a little junior sister." ”
Zixu Peak has always been wealthy, with nostrils facing the sky, and there will be no one anywhere, so that they know that Linghu is an ordinary person, and they will inevitably ridicule this. In their opinion, Baume & Mercier will only communicate with Baume & Mercier, the so-called phoenix does not live with grass chickens, what kind of face does it take with Taishangmai, they don't care, they are afraid that they will step on it.
Anyway, there are many surnames in the world, and most of the surnames "small" and "junior sisters" are also available, and the lies are so round.
Where is Zhao Zhen willing to believe, and smiled lightly: "I have always heard that there are nine disciples under the main seat of the Great Mai, but I didn't expect to accept new disciples, I don't know the name of the senior sister?"
No matter how you look at this girl, she is an ordinary person with no cultivation, and she is still abnormally beautiful and beautiful, and the two obscene monks of the Taishang Mai will definitely not do anything good when they take her with them. He had a disagreement with Zhou Jing, thinking that his character was not good, and he didn't even have a good impression of the entire Taishang Mai.
Ling Fox Zhenzhen wittily shut up, and Qin Xi said: "I'm sorry, the little junior sister is silent, and even the master's questions are rarely answered. ”
He led her to the lamp, and when he saw that no one was coming, Fang said in a low voice, "Remember to call me Senior Brother Yuanxi." ”
She grabbed dates and ate them, and replied very neatly: "Okay, Senior Brother Yuanxi." ”
He paused, and then said, "It's weird, let's call it again." ”
