There is an island above Taihu Lake, called "Bixin Island", where the main altar of the Chishui Gang is located. The island is wooded and beautiful.

A magnificent mansion is located in the middle of the island. This mansion is carved with beams and paintings, and the green tiles are flying, and it is built like the emperor's palace.

On this day, the mansion is lit up and lively. The three vermilion lacquer doors are opened, and you can see the wall at a glance. There is a Shu embroidery hanging on the wall.

The outer circle of the Shu embroidery is the pattern of a hundred birds and a phoenix, and the middle is a big longevity word, under the sun, the brilliance flows. Take a closer look, the word longevity is actually embellished with pearls.

Master Yan's birthday is a sensational martial arts event. Since the old man washed his hands, he rarely walked around the rivers and lakes. The big and small affairs of the gang are handed over to the cronies and nephews.

He is an old man with a good name and likes to make friends. Although he has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, his friends in the rivers and lakes are mostly taken care of by him. After receiving the invitation from the Chishui Gang, he naturally went to the banquet happily.

Among the guests, there are not only high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, but also star-crowned feathers with fairy wind bones, and Buddhist monks in hundreds of clothes. Roughly speaking, there are also thousands.

This altar is located on the island. A large number of guests can only come by water.

The Chishui Gang started by operating ships and dock businesses, and the boats of all sizes on Taihu Lake naturally obeyed the orders of the Chishui Gang.

To transport these guests to the island, half a month ago, the gang had already transferred thirty large ships to be responsible for welcoming the guests.

Thirty brigs lined up in a flotilla on the Taihu Lake, and the momentum was extremely majestic.

The hull of the ship is covered with colored satin, and the bow and tail are planted with tooth flags, and the wind is hunting. The guests on board also stood at the bow of the ship and looked up.

The water and light are in the sky, the sand gulls are gathered, and the outline of Bixin Island is already visible not far away.

The crowd was noisy and enthusiastic. Xiao Yunfan, Hou Tonghai, and Jin Lingdang were sandwiched between this crowd. Many of the heroes who went to the banquet this time were old acquaintances with Xiao Yunfan, and if he wanted to visit secretly, he couldn't reveal his whereabouts in advance. So the three of them changed their clothes.

The golden bell looked into the distance, her heart was full of sorrow, the closer the boat was to the island of Bixin, the more nervous her heart became.

Xiao Yunfan glanced at her face, and saw her with a sad face and said, "Qing'er, are you uncomfortable?" Jin Lingling smiled and said, "It's nothing, probably a little dizzy on the boat." ”

Xiao Yunfan said softly: "Then I'll help you go to the cabin to rest." The golden bell nodded.

Not long after, the big ship docked, and a team of palace maids came in the distance, all holding flower baskets, sprinkled on the red carpet with flowers, and actually paved a flower path.

In the sound of drums, the cable was lowered on the welcome boat, and several teams of big men had already moved the escalator frame to lean on the hull of the ship.

On the other side of the shore, a large group of people stood and waited solemnly. A treasure yellow umbrella cover, silk spikes in the wind, like the royal chariot and horse.

Under the umbrella cover, sat an old man with silver hair and a ruddy face. Behind him stood the helmsmen of the provinces. Seeing the guests disembarking from the boat, the old man got up and greeted him.

As the sound of drums and firecrackers gradually stopped, a big man shouted in a loud voice: "Welcome to the best master of Dajue Temple." "Twelve monks walked up to the flower path, and the tall monk in a robe was the abbot of the martial arts master.

The old monk had a plump face, his eyes were shining, and a snow-white beard perpendicular to his chest. The three old monks who followed him were Zhitong, Zhixian, and Zhisheng, and the remaining eight monks were all their disciples. Yan Chongxiao put one palm on his chest and said loudly: "The Buddha of the Supreme Master is here, and it is an honor to help him." ”

Zhishan returned the courtesy: "Yan Jushi is highly respected and respected. The old man is here just to lead his disciples to see the world. A little small courtesy, and please smile at the layman. Yan Chongxiao smiled: "The master is polite. Inside please. Several big men took the gifts from the monks. One of the ushers was in front of him, leading the monks to the gate of the house.

Zhang Tianshi of the Zhengyi Sect also walked slowly with his junior brother Yujing Zhenren. Zhang Tianshi put his palms on his chest and smiled: "Brother Yan's demeanor today is still better than in the past, you and I can drink a few more cups today." Yan Chongxiao arched his hand and said: "The Heavenly Master is here, it can be said that it has given Yan someone enough face, please come in quickly." ”

Jiang Hanyue took the position of the palace master on the Xuannu Palace, and it has been reported to the rivers and lakes, and the Chishui Gang also sent people to watch the ceremony and congratulate them that day. Now that Yan Chongxiao has passed his birthday, Jiang Hanyue is in charge of the door, whether it is in terms of etiquette or other reasons, he has to come. Yan Chongxiao saw that she was in charge of a faction at a young age, and she was greatly admired, and exchanged a few words of greeting at the moment. Everyone in the Xuannu Palace also entered the door.

After welcoming more than a dozen sects, Yan Chongxiao sent his eldest son Yan Zhenting and other helmsmen to replace him. Then he went to the door with Luo Jiutian and others to greet the leaders of those big factions. Dede

There were two handsome-looking women walking side by side in the crowd, and a young one said in a low voice: "Sister, do you say that Brother Xiao will come?" The elder said: "Of course, Old Man Yan's birthday banquet is a sensation in martial arts, and the characters who can come will naturally come to cheer." Moreover, Brother Xiao has a great friendship with this Chishui Gang Luo Jiutian Uncle Luo, how could Master Yan's invitation be missing his share. ”

The two of them are the two daughters of Tingyun and Luoyue, they came with Yin Thirteen, Ding Xiaoyu and others, and the two daughters remembered Xiao Yunfan, so they were looking for his traces everywhere. Yan Chongxiao changed into a bright red fu-patterned robe, and the Chishui Gang was the helmsman, and first toasted to the guests in the outer courtyard.

After turning around and returning to the hall, the guests sitting in the hall were naturally the distinguished guests invited to this birthday banquet. Yan Chongxiao stood in the center of the hall and said with a smile: "It's rare for you to give old and thin noodles, and a glass of water and wine is not a tribute." As he spoke, he lifted a bowl of the sea and raised his head to drink it dry.

The crowd in the hall praised in unison: "Old Man Yan has a lot. Yan Chongxiao said: "It's rare to get together with all friends today, the big guy doesn't have to be formal, sit down quickly." After the toast, he sat on a Taishi chair, and first a group of children formed a semicircle under the guidance of adults, knelt down and kowtowed in unison: "Congratulations to Grandpa Yan on his blessings as the East China Sea and longevity as Nanshan." ”

Yan Chongxiao laughed with a spring breeze on his face and said, "Good, good, good." Yan Qi, give the child some money to buy candy to eat. Yan Qi, the official of the Yan Mansion, took out the silver money from the plate beside the waiter and distributed it to the children. Then the nephews of each house came to pay their birthday gifts. The hall was crowded with people, laughing and laughing. After the ceremony, everyone sat down.

Among these sects, there are monks, Taoists, and female guests, so it is naturally inconvenient to sit in one place, but are led into a separate private room.

After entertaining everyone for dinner, the Yan family led the group to the back garden to enjoy the scenery. Because of the birthday banquet, the Yan family even renovated and repaired this back garden. Pavilions, rare birds and beasts, every stone and tree have a unique flavor. There are elegant people among the heroes, but they can see one or two, and most of them are rough people and don't care.

Along a path, through the moon cave gate in the back garden, the group of heroes came to a wide stone lawn. In front of the stone lawn, a lot of colorful silk tents are set up, and a flag is erected on each of the sheds, and the names of various sects are written on them. Two feet in front of the tent is a stage.

In the crowd, Xiao Yunfan suddenly saw a person with the same appearance as himself walking beside Luo Jiutian. He held the hand of the golden bell and suddenly forced, and the golden bell followed his gaze, and his heart was bright. Then he said, "Brother Xiao, that person's face ......"

Xiao Yunfan didn't speak yet, but Hou Tonghai said: "I saw that there is a real and false Monkey King in Mr. Sheyang's "Journey to the West", but I didn't think that I would see the real or false Xiao Yunfan today." ”

Xiao Yunfan looked at the person's appearance, and immediately understood in his heart, and thought: "No wonder Ling Taixu keeps creating incidents to make me slow down, it turns out that he wants to use my identity to commit murder." In that case, I'll have to join the Oni Sect to serve. Sure enough, it's a good calculation. ”

Xiao Yunfan whispered to Hou Tonghai: "Uncle Hou, you and Qing'er are waiting here, and I will debunk this person's face." Yan Chongxiao and a group of martial arts leaders walked in front. Xiao Yunfan dodged out and blocked everyone's way.

At this time, the helmsmen under Yan Chongxiao were winged in front of these leaders.

Yan Qi, a big official, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Friend, if the Chishui Gang has any inconsiderate hospitality, just say it." Xiao Yunfan glanced at Yan Qi and said lightly: "The Chishui Gang has nothing to entertain poorly. Yan Qi said: "Dare to ask what sect the name is, please say it, and personally lead the way." ”

Xiao Yunfan said: "No need. Yan Qi said: "Oh, since you don't have to, please get out of the way." Xiao Yunfan said: "Mr. misunderstood, I came to invite you to watch a good show." Yan Qi sneered: "My friend is really good at laughing, if you want to watch a play, you will act later." Please be calm. Xiao Yunfan said: "The scene I invite you to watch is more exciting than the one you ask someone to perform." ”

Yan Qi said angrily: "Your Excellency is here to find trouble?"

Yan Chongxiao and the leaders were also very puzzled, this kind of thing is naturally not good for them to come out, Yan Chongxiao stepped forward and said loudly: "Little brother, I don't know what kind of play you want to play for the old man?" His voice was loud, revealing a majesty.

Yan Qi arched his hand and said: "Master, this person is clearly ......" Yan Chongxiao waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to talk much. Xiao Yunfan arched his hand and said: "Old Gang Leader Yan, today is the day of your old man's birthday, and I can't bear to stir up the scene, boy, but there is a reason for it, please seniors, fellow Taoists, let's have a lot of Haihan." ”

Yan Chongxiao said: "Oh, the little brother has something to say. Xiao Yunfan said loudly: "Please also ask the jade lion Xiao Daxia to come out and see it." The man who was walking side by side with Luo Jiutian parted the crowd and walked out of the crowd. The crowd gathered around.

The man smiled and said: "In Xia Xiao Yunfan, I don't know what advice my brother Tai has?" If Your Excellency has any advice, we can change places to talk, this is the mansion of Old Man Yan, if you have a personal grudge with Zaixia, then it will be disrespectful to the master to use force at this grand meeting." ”

Many of the heroes have been to Huizhou, and Xiao Yunfan exposed the ghost's conspiracy that day, these people were very impressed by Xiao Yunfan, and they also admired it in their hearts. And at this moment, it would be too rude to see a nobody looking for him to be unlucky, and making trouble at someone's birthday banquet. There are also good people in this group of Hao, looking forward to the two sides doing it, so that there will be excitement.

Xiao Yunfan said: "You are Xiao Yunfan?" The man clasped his hands to his chest and said: "I am naturally Xiao Yunfan, there are many of my old friends here, even if Xiao is swaggering, but these old people should not recognize the wrong person." ”

Xiao Yunfan laughed when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to point at the man: "Then who do you see who I am?" Qunhao looked at it and couldn't help but exclaim. I saw that the appearance of the two was like a mold carved out. Some people of insight immediately guessed that one of the two must have used the transfiguration technique. The person who pretended to be Xiao Yunfan mixed into this birthday banquet, presumably with ulterior motives.

When several leaders saw the two, they couldn't help but be amazed. The pretending man forced his composure and said with a smile: "Dude, you are really good at disguise. I'm afraid you weren't sent by the Ghost Sect to go undercover, right?" This person reacted quickly, and used his words to counter Xiao Yunfan's army.

Xiao Yunfan shrugged and said, "I'm undercover? Although your appearance is similar to mine, the fake is always fake, and it can't be true. The man said: "That's right, fake is naturally fake." Then you don't have to confess quickly. ”

Xiao Yunfan smiled and said, "So if you want to do it with me, you can't ask for it." "The heroes all know that Xiao Yunfan's martial arts are outstanding, and as soon as the two of them make a move, they will naturally make a judgment.

But the man was very shrewd, and prevaricated with his words: "Why use force against you little thief." Today, Xiao someone will expose you in front of the heroes. ”
