Chapter 6: The Night Banquet of the City Lord's Mansion (Xiao Erqiu Collection)
Time passes, like a white horse passing through a gap.
Through this half-day study, Lin Xi has basically mastered the humanoid language of Jin Mixing, and also has a general understanding of Jin Mixing, and learned from Apricot that it was Han Shuang City Lord who rescued him back, and the so-called grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, not to mention the grace of saving life.
The sunset is remnant, the forest is dyed, and the cold city is full of frost in autumn and twilight.
The apricot leads Lin Xi in front of the head, through the cloister of the city lord's mansion, the cloister is carved and jade, the top of the corridor is composed of green tiles and red beams, the cyan moire tile head and the animal pattern dripping eaves are arranged intertwined, the garden flower garden outside the corridor is delicate and gorgeous, the flowers are red and willow green, the water in the Huaqing pond is shallow and the fish jumps, and the brocade scales are crowded.
Walk through the corridor, come to a straight to the city lord's palace of the avenue, the avenue is made of carved bluestone bricks staggered paving, the middle of the road surface bluestone carved pattern abrasion, seem to reproduce the noble yin and cheap in the world, the world is rushing, the stone statues of the golden star monsters on both sides of the avenue are displayed in turn, majestic and solemn, the appearance of the stone statue is mottled with rock scale, revealing the long years.
"Lord Lin, the city lord rarely entertains guests in the main hall, which shows that the city lord attaches great importance to you", Kyoko said with a side smile as she led the way.
Lin Xi nodded and smiled silently, and walked straight towards the main hall.
The main hall is heavy with golden tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, Lin Xi walked to the door of the main hall, and a man's loud voice came from the main hall.
"Little brother, have you recovered? Come to my Han Shuang City as a guest, welcome", Han Shuang went out to greet him, and said with his hand: "I was supposed to entertain the little brother earlier, but I just happened to be entangled in mundane things and couldn't get separated, I'm really sorry."
Previously, he Han Shuang did have something to do, and he went to the retreat of the second elder early in the morning, in order to identify the authenticity of the diffuse body, he could only forcibly invite the second elder of the retreat, the second elder of the clan was the only monk in their clan who was in the middle realm of the wood lineage Yuanjun, so only he could identify the authenticity of this diffuse body.
After Han Shuang received the second elder's affirmative answer, she happily put away her diffuse body, and her heart also felt grateful to the old woman and Lin Xi last night.
Xingluo treasures are divided into seven grades, the three-grade wood system is not too rare in the star Luo treasures, its preciousness is because of its wood attributes, Jin Mi Xing is affected by the Jin Mi Yuan, so the other attributes of the Star Luo treasures on the Jin Mi Star are very few, and the number of cultivators is very large, the wolf is more fleshy and less so it is difficult to get it, and to cross the planet to other planets, only by breaking through to the Yuan King Realm, or having a wind system celestial weapon, can it be done.
Lin Xi saw a burly man with a bunch of hair and a crown and black beard, dressed in a golden silk python robe, and almost a foot tall, with two men and two women coming up, and the mountain-like aura was suppressed, in front of them, Lin Xi was like a villain in Lilliputian, which really shocked Lin Xi, and thought to himself:
"It seems that I still underestimate the impact of Mi Yuan on the body, these three men are stout and large, almost all of them are more than three meters tall, and the height and size of the women are still within my comprehension, I hope I will not be transformed into such a monster, if I want to become like this, can I still be counted as a human on the earth?".
"Lord Han Cheng is polite, how can I, Lin Xi, go out to greet you, and I can't repay you for saving my life, I'm really ashamed", Lin Xi hugged his fists and bowed, Han Shuang hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the salute when he saw this, and held up Lin Xi with one hand and said.
"Little Brother Lin doesn't know, I'm not the one who saved you", Han Shuang held his beard and said, "There is someone else who saves you, you just live in my house temporarily, and you can't talk about saving your life."
Then he motioned for Apricot to take a seat, and turned around and walked towards the main seat.
The whole hall is supported by six carved Fulong stone pillars, the high platform inside the hall is in the right position, the two sides in front of the main position are inlaid with gold edge and black cases are neatly arranged, the case is placed with white jade plates, gold foot bottles, delicacies, elixir jade dew.
Han Shuang waved his hand to signal everyone to take a seat, and followed the maid to warm the wine and add bottles, and when the maidservants retreated to their sides, Han Shuang sat sideways facing Lin Xi and introduced everyone one by one.
I saw that above the high position on Han Shuang's side, a woman was graceful and luxurious, jeweled, and graceful, this was Han Shuang's wife.
The man sitting opposite Lin Xi was dark-skinned, with thick eyebrows and starry eyes, a square mouth and a wide nose, and an engraved soft towel on his forehead, this was Han Shuang's third brother, Han Jian, the lord of Xicheng.
The man sitting next to him had a bun in his hair, a sharp beak, an eagle's nose and a white beard, and looked at Lin Xi with a slight contempt in his eyes, his gaze wandered, and the one with the appearance of a villain was the second elder Han Mo.
The last woman has a hairpin with beaded hairpins and flying fairy buns, dressed in a golden butterfly skirt, with a graceful demeanor, a waist like willows, white skin like snow, eyebrows like green feathers, teeth like shellfish, delicate eyes and shyness, this is Han Shuang's only daughter, Han Xianger.
Lin Xi smiled together as a happy party, and after the ceremony, Han Shuang briefly recounted the mysterious old woman who entrusted the unconscious Lin Xi to Han Shuangcheng last night, but did not mention the old woman's reward, Lin Xi was silent when he heard it, and secretly thought about it in his heart:
"The mysterious old woman's kindness to save her life should be remembered in my heart, but I don't know if the old woman knows that I am not from the Mi Realm? Saving me intentionally or unintentionally? Since I am placed here, it can be regarded as a temporary place to live, and if I come, I will be safe, and I can take the opportunity to quietly integrate here, and I can also learn the secret of Mi Yuan's cultivation, which is not a good thing."
During this time, the second elder Han Motuo left the table and left first after bidding farewell to everyone, and Han Shuang did not stay, and sighed lightly:
"It seems that the second elder still has a lot of complaints about disturbing his retreat."
"Little brother Lin Xi doesn't know what the relationship is with that old woman, now that I am in Hanshuang City, if there is a place where I need Han's assistance, although I am open, although I am not a decent person, I am still the master within the thousands of kilometers of the veins of Hanshuang City" Han Shuang rubbed the golden wine bottle on the case with one hand, and said in front of everyone.
In Han Shuang's eyes, Lin Xi was naturally unsightly, but the strength of the old woman behind him made him pay attention to it, and he didn't even doubt that Han Shuangcheng could be overwhelmed by the old woman.
"It's just an old man, I was killed on the way, fortunately, I happened to meet her to rescue, and then I fell unconscious, and when I woke up, I found that I had arrived in this Han Shuang City, the kindness of the Han City Lord, the kid should be remembered in his heart, the kid really had a reluctant invitation, and he went to the city lord Haihan", Lin Xi was invited to drink and put a cup in front of the case, looked up at the main seat and answered.
In Lin Xi's opinion, this person who can control the land of thousands of miles is very remarkable, and it is much bigger than ordinary countries on the earth.
"What's the matter?
"The boy has lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests with his father since he was a child, and he knows very little about the way of cultivation, and the boy wants to ask the Lord of Han City for a teacher, who can teach me some cultivation methods in a simple way, but this time he feels helpless with a lack of strength, so he has the heart to practice in order to gain the power of self-preservation", Lin Xi said slowly.
Lin Xi saw that Han Shuang was thoughtful, and after a moment of silence, he felt that he was abrupt, and recalled: "Is there anything difficult for Han City Lord? If it is inconvenient, he will be abrupt."
"Oh, this matter is not a difficult matter, but it is not a trivial matter to accept apprentices, to obtain the consent of both parties, Brother Lin is not an extraordinary person, you must carefully choose a teacher", Han Shuang replied with a restrained prevarication.
Lin Xi is secretly embarrassed in his heart, as Yuan Tai, he has no potential for cultivation, and the masters in the clan will definitely not accept Yuan Tai as an apprentice, and if he arbitrarily arranges an unpopular monk to be his master, it will be too rude, it is really a dilemma and inconvenient to say clearly.
"Father, can you allow me to accompany Brother Lin to practice, Brother Lin is full of lightness, presumably he has not stepped into the cultivation yet, Brother Lin's current cultivation realm only needs some basic methods of cultivation, with me to accompany each other, there is no need to learn from another teacher", said to Han Xiang'er, who was sitting at the end, lightly opened his lips, and said coquettishly and shyly.
As the daughter of the patriarch, Han Xiang'er was discriminated against by the clan because of her delicate corners, and she understood her father's difficulties, or her deep sympathy for Lin Xi, so Han Xiang'er decided to help.
"Oh, I don't know what Little Brother Lin thinks of the little girl", Han Shuang took the conversation and asked.
"That's very good, then there will be Miss Lao Han", Lin Xi got up and said to the invitation cup.
"Brother Lin first came to Han Shuang City, the little girl has been entertained by her father since then, tomorrow I will lead Brother Lin to play in the city first, relax my mind, and then practice is not too late", Han Xianger got up and stroked Luo's skirt, and said with a smile when she was invited.
"Miss Han thinks about it properly, and the cultivation is all arranged by Miss," Lin Xi replied with a smile.
In a few moments, the cup was changed in the hall, and the chips were staggered, and they gathered together.
Until late at night, parting words.
