Chapter 64: The Luo Family Gathering
Zhu Youdao calculated the time, and set off with Xie Xiaohong to participate in the rally initiated by the Luo family.
With Xie Xiaohong's three-layer foundation cultivation, it took two days to fly from Langya Mountain to Daluo Mountain, and the day before the party, the two arrived at the foot of Daluo Mountain.
There is an unwritten rule in the cultivation world that you can't fly over other people's mountain gates, otherwise it will be disrespectful.
Unless the strength is too strong and the behavior is domineering, otherwise when you arrive at the mountain gate, you have to walk up the mountain.
The junior sent by the Luo family to greet him outside the mountain gate was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. After Zhu Youdao handed over the invitation, the young man said respectfully: "It turned out to be Patriarch Zhu, please follow me up the mountain, our patriarch has prepared a place for the two of you!"
Because of the longevity of the monks, there are so many things that they can communicate, so such gatherings last for several days, and as the host, it is natural to prepare accommodation for the guests.
The young man's name is Luo Zhiyuan, he is very eloquent, and he keeps talking along the way, which reminds Zhu Youdao of Zhu Wen when he was a teenager, and he is also like this.
Time flies so fast, and now Zhu Wen has also passed the age of establishment, and he is also a big man in Yueguo.
Luo Zhiyuan led them to a bamboo building on the mountain and arranged for them to stay.
Zhu Youdao looked around and nodded with satisfaction, this bamboo building is obviously newly built, specially used to entertain the monks of this gathering, and the surrounding scenery is pleasant, it seems that the Luo family is very well prepared.
"Our patriarch will hold a banquet to entertain distinguished guests in the evening, if you two have any needs, you can also summon me, and I will wait not far away!" Luo Zhiyuan said again.
Zhu Youdao likes this kid very much, he can speak, and he is quick to do things. He took out a mouthful of flying knife magic weapon and handed it to him: "Thank you, this is the magic weapon flying knife I refined, it's not a good thing, you take it to play!"
The flying knives refined by Zhu Youdao are very beautiful, and they are imitations of Li Xunhuan's flying knife refining in the TV series in his previous life.
Luo Zhiyuan liked it very much at first glance, he hesitated: "How can I ask for the things of my predecessors, if the family knows about it, they will punish me!"
Zhu Youdao smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm a refiner, there are a lot of these things, if the family punishes you, just say that I insist on giving it to you!"
Luo Zhiyuan took the flying knife and left happily.
Xie Xiaohong suddenly said, "Will you have a child with me in the future?"
Zhu Youdao was stunned, Xie Xiaohong's thoughts sometimes drifted too fast, and he couldn't keep up.
He thought for a moment and said: "If you want a child, we will give birth, if you don't want a child, you won't have it!" However, we are all determined to be immortals, children can not be born casually, we must cultivate him to become enlightened, if the spiritual root is good, if the spiritual root is not good, it will drag down our path! I now know how thick it was to make a big wish to take Yun Niang to practice, if it weren't for you, not only would I not be able to take her, but even I would be dragged down to the point that I had no chance with the avenue!"
Xie Xiaohong raised her eyebrows: "Do you regret bringing Sister Yun Niang?"
Zhu Youdao shook his head: "It's not regret! Cultivating the Tao must first cultivate the mind, I have a few heart demon tribulations, and I must be enlightened in my heart! Since I have the idea of bringing Yun Niang with me, I will not give up because of any difficulties." But I understand such a thing as Yun Niang, but I can't do it again! One more Yun Niang, even you will be dragged into the abyss, and you will never recover!"
Xie Xiaohong glanced at him: "My Xie Xiaohong's child, how can the spiritual root be bad!"
Zhu Youdao smiled, and when he saw that there were chess sets prepared by the Luo family in the bamboo building, he suddenly became interested: "We haven't played chess for a long time, come, kill a game!"
I don't want Xie Xiaohong to look disdainful: "I won't play chess with you if I die, it's insidious and cunning, and it doesn't make people happy, I won't play with you if I don't play with Youqing!"
Leaving Zhu Youdao with a depressed face.
That evening, Luo Yuanshan, the patriarch of the Luo family, held a banquet to entertain the guests, and Zhu Youdao and Xie Xiaohong attended together.
When they walked into the Luo family's living room, there were already more than ten people seated in the hall.
"Patriarch Zhu came to the cold house, and the old man was not far away!" As soon as he entered the door, Luo Yuanshan greeted him!
Zhu Youdao said a few polite words to him, and hurriedly handed over the gift, the first time he came to the door, he couldn't come empty-handed!
Luo Yuanshan took the gift, handed it to the juniors accompanying him, took Zhu Youdao's hand, and enthusiastically introduced it to everyone: "Everyone, this is the patriarch of the Zhu family of Yue Kingdom, what a young hero! This is the first time to participate in our party, and everyone will be neighbors in the future, so they should take care of each other!"
After the introduction, he looked at Xie Xiaohong again: "This is ......"
Zhu Youdao said: "This is Neizi Xie Xiaohong, Xiaohong, I've seen you all Daoists!"
Xie Xiaohong bowed slightly, no longer hidden, revealing the cultivation of the foundation building period.
There was a commotion in the hall, and everyone didn't expect that this woman who didn't look very old turned out to be a monk in the foundation building period.
Luo Yuanshan was also stunned, he heard that there was a foundation building monk in the Zhu family, but he didn't think it was right in front of him. He clenched his fists and said: "It turned out to be Mrs. Zhu, it is rude! Patriarch Zhu and Mrs. Zhu, please take a seat!"
Zhu Youdao and Xie Xiaohong sat down on an empty table, and immediately the maid of the Luo family brought all kinds of fruit snacks, dishes and wine.
At this moment, a voice suddenly said, "Patriarch Zhu, the old man has a question I want to ask!"
Zhu Youdao was stunned for a moment, looked for a sound, and saw an old man with a long beard looking at him. He was a little puzzled, he didn't know this person, how could he have a problem to find himself?
At this time, Luo Yuanshan said to Zhu Youdao: "Patriarch Zhu, this is the patriarch of the Hulu Guyue family!"
He turned to the old man again and said, "Daoyou Yue, my Luo family invites everyone to come here to make Taoist friends and help each other! I don't want anything unpleasant to happen at the party! If you ask Zhu Daoyou about something I have advised you before, then don't open your mouth, lest others misunderstand us and deceive us!"
The old man surnamed Yue shook his head and stopped talking!
Zhu Youdao was inexplicable, that Patriarch Yue wanted to ask him for guilt? He didn't want to make an enemy in a daze, so he said: "Patriarch Luo, Patriarch Yue, can you two make it clear? My Zhu family is also here to make friends with fellow Daoists, and I have no contact with everyone here before, so I don't know how to offend Patriarch Yue, please just make it clear and see if there is any misunderstanding!"
At this time, the attention of everyone in the hall was focused to see what was going on.
Luo Yuanshan looked at everyone in embarrassment: "This involves one thing, Yue Daoyou told me before, I advised him not to mention it at the party, so as not to spoil the atmosphere of the party, and Patriarch Zhu is participating in the party for the first time, and mentioning it at this time will inevitably be suspected of bullying!"
Zhu Youdao said: "Thank you for the kindness of Patriarch Luo! However, I, Zhu Youdao, act in a straightforward manner, and there is nothing that the Zhu family cannot say to others! Patriarch Yue has an opinion on me, and I can just make it clear in front of everyone, who is right and who is wrong, and you have your own distinction, so how will my Zhu family get along with people in the future?"
Seeing that everyone was nodding, Luo Yuanshan sighed: "I won't participate in this matter, Yue Daoyou, you can say it yourself!"
