22. The world is thin, and the people are evil (2)
(It rained for a long time in the middle of the night last night, and the wind shook the doors and windows, and it was the first time that a southerner had seen this kind of weather when he was so old.) It's cooling, everyone pay attention to keep warm!It's going to get better!)
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The welcome hall is facing the gate of Dai'an Peak, supported by white marble, covered with vermilion tiles, and the hunting flag is swaying in the cold wind.
Entering the welcome hall, the heads of the four immortal gates had already sat down facing the gate, sitting in a row, obviously wanting to show that the four immortal gates were on an equal footing through the row.
Yu Junjian sat in the middle, curled his beard, and talked with Master Yijie. Yu Jun saw Liu Chan sitting behind him, and saw that Yu Jun was greeting Master Yijie, so he went to take care of Xie Lantian, the master of Canglang Pavilion.
From the inside to the outside, there is a small fairy gate outside the four immortal gates, and there are several dishes between the neighbors, and there are special people serving them on the back side to serve them. Although the banquet was attended by a large number of people, due to the large size of the welcome hall, it was very spacious even when everyone was seated.
Yan Lin saw Duan Hong at a glance, she was sitting in a row with the other three immortal sects on behalf of Wanyin Temple. Duan Hong seemed to be deliberately dressing up, and the corners of Yan Lin's mouth twitched, thinking that he should have used the fat powder he sent. While she was talking to Yu Qiao'er, she squinted at Yan Lin standing at the door and glanced at him coldly.
Yan Lin walked over with Tong Xi with a smile on his face. Yu Qiao'er followed Duan Hong's eyes, turned around and met Yan Lin's gaze, nodding and smiling at him.
As soon as Yan Lin sat down, Liu Chan stood up. Everyone was in the midst of a staggered discussion, but when they saw Liu Chan standing up, they all put down their dishes and chopsticks and stopped talking.
Liu Chan's makeup today is more exquisite, her eyebrows and eye shapes have been specially corrected, and her lips are smeared with crimson rouge, which looks particularly charming and moving. She was free and generous, and her voice was neither humble nor arrogant: "Dai Anfeng's hospitality is not thorough, and the banquet is slightly thin, don't be surprised." Once again, I would like to give you a glass and wash away the dust for you. β
This is a common clichΓ©, and Yan Lin is not very patient to listen to it as soon as he hears it.
Then she said: "Wanyin Temple is in trouble, and Ciyi Shi Taixian has passed away, which is really sad. Here, I propose that we all give another cup to Wanyin Temple to express our condolences. β
Yan Lin hurriedly got up with Duan Hong, and Duan Hong's thousand words were all thanks to the immortal sect present. Yan Lin thought that he could start eating, but he didn't expect Liu Chan to still focus on the people of Wanyin Temple.
Liu Chan said: "You are all quite concerned about what happened in Wanyin Temple, I wonder if you can ask Master Duan to tell me about the situation on the day of the incident?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Duan Hong, and Yan Lin put down his chopsticks and pretended to want to hear it.
Duan Hong got up and appealed to the main hall about the difficulties of Wanyin Temple, and when it came to burning Wanyin Temple, Yan Lin frowned.
The people who died in that disaster were their loved ones, and Yan Lin had not mentioned this matter since the incident, except after talking to Jiao Shuyu during the torture. In his dreams, inadvertently, those scenes came to his mind, and he never took the initiative to talk about those pains. Because every time you mention it, you add a new knife to the old scar, and the depression in your heart will be aggravated.
However, this time, Liu Chan actually asked Duan Hong to tell it in public, as if revealing the scar to everyone.
Duan Hong explained the details very well, and there were unrelated people here who secretly wiped their tears. In the end, Duan Hongsheng burst into tears, causing sobs to sound in the hall one after another.
But Yan Lin, who was obviously the most hurt, didn't cry, he walked around the crowd and looked at the woman with exquisite makeup. He was a little dissatisfied, whether it was to satisfy the curiosity of the people present or to have other plans, this move was too cruel for those who witnessed it.
Duan Hong was a little crying, Yan Lin stood up and patted her: "Senior sister, are you okay?" He helped Duan Hong sit down and handed over a cup of tea.
Yan Lin waited for Liu Chan's next move, but she only had tears in her eyes. Obviously it didn't fall, but he pretended to wipe away his tears with his cuffs.
At this time, someone at the end of the table said loudly: "Baili Jiuzhai is cruel and evil, we are here this time to discuss the matter of crusading against Baili Jiuzhai." Don't eat the big guys, think about how you want to avenge the little masters!"
"Yes, there is a Wanyin Temple in Nuoda, which burned down and emptied, it is really ruthless. β
"Almost all the doors have been destroyed, you see, there are only a few people left. β
"I heard that when the Wanyin Temple was burned, the Zhangjiang River under Wanyin Mountain was dyed red!"
"Wanyin Temple is one of the four great immortal sects, and they all suffered misfortunes, so what should we do with a small sect like us?"
"So we must unite to protect ourselves! We can no longer act separately like before, and we can't let Baili Jiuzhai break them one by one!"
"Yes, yes, we are only the thirty people in Xianmen, and if Baili Jiuzhai targets us, we will not have the ability to resist at all. Dai'an Peak is now the largest immortal gate in the Central Plains, so you have to hold this thigh!"
Yan Lin couldn't help but hear loud or small discussions in his ears, but he didn't say anything, just stared at Yu Junjian and Liu Chan secretly. The two men just nodded their heads as the crowd expressed their opinions, but they didn't say a word themselves.
The last master saw that the scene was too lively, so he came out and spoke: "Everyone, everyone!" "You don't need to panic, we are going to Dai Anfeng this time, in order to discuss the plan. As long as we twist into a rope, Baili Jiuzhai will not be able to repel us. β
A person in a corner shouted: "Let's start the Immortal Cultivation Conference! We need an alliance leader to lead us all to attack Baili Jiuzhai together!"
After he said that, a burst of appeals sounded, and Yan Lin saw that the corners of Yu Junjian's mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes became more profound.
"Bang Bang Bang" three times slammed the table, shaking the whole table was trembling. This move was a bit rude, if it wasn't for Xie Lantian, I am afraid that he would have been invited out of the hall.
Xie Lantian didn't stand up at all, but leaned on the back of the chair and said slowly: "Baili Jiuzhai destroyed Wanyin Temple for their inner dan, what are you so afraid of?
Xie Lantian spoke, and the small sect did not dare to refute.
At this time, Master Yijie said: "Pavilion Master Xie is wrong with this. Baili Jiuzhai is good for Wanyin Temple for Neidan, but in the final analysis, he still wants to refine it into an artifact and sweep away the Central Plains. The old monk saw that what everyone said was right, the immortal cultivation conference was to be held, and the alliance leader was also to be elected. β
Yan Lin touched his nose and thought, "Master Yihua hates Yu Junjian so much, but I didn't expect Master Yijie to speak for him." β
Xie Lantian said arrogantly: "Even if there is an Immortal Alliance, what's the use? Will the situation be better than now? It is said that our four major immortal sects also often have contacts, Wanyin Temple and Dai'an Peak are quite close, and I haven't seen any action from Dai'an Peak when Wanyin Temple had an accident." β
Judging the situation, Xie Lantian knew that the Immortal Cultivation Conference would definitely be held, but it did not necessarily mean that he Yu Junjian would be the leader of the alliance. He said this to make it clear that Dai Anfeng did not protect them when Wanyin Temple was killed. It was not protected at that time, and it may not be able to do so in the future.
Yu Junjian finally stood up after Xie Lantian spoke. He held the wine glass, and his eyes flashed with sincerity: "What Lord Xie said is right, the difficulty of Wanyin Temple is indeed wrong with my Dai'an Peak." The four immortal sects help each other, and when there is really trouble, no one helps each other. He turned to Duan Hong and said, "Little Master Duan, the contemptible person apologizes with wine." β
Yu Jun saw that he wanted to tell everyone that the Immortal Alliance was not established when Wanyin Temple was in trouble, and the other three immortal sects were all at fault if they did not help each other, and it could not be all blamed on Dai'an Peak.
Master Yijie didn't hear the cold guns and arrows in the language between Xie Lantian and Yu Junjian, stood up with a sad face, and followed Yu Junjian to Duan Hong: "Master Yu is right, Master Ciyi was killed on the way back from Jinshan Temple, and I, Jinshan Temple, will not escape the blame." β
The people of Wanyin Temple followed Duan Hong and got up to return the salute.
Yu Jun saw it and said: "Dai Anfeng is willing to help Wanyin Temple rebuild, I wonder if Little Master Duan is willing to appreciate it?"
Yan Lin's brows twitched. Seeing that Duan Hong agreed, he thanked him again. The more Duan Hong thanked him, the more everyone felt that the Dai'an Summit had reached out to the alliance when it was in trouble, and it was a responsible immortal alliance.
Sure enough, there was a humanitarian: "Dai An Peak is the number one immortal alliance in the immortal cultivation world, if you really want to hold an immortal cultivation conference, I want to vote for Dai An Feng!"
Several people responded for a while, and Yu Jun was humble again and again. He seemed to have a very high voice, and everyone supported him, but Xie Lantian, who was sitting on the side, was a little dissatisfied and looked displeased.
The discussion about the selection of the leader of the Immortal League lasted for a long time, and Yan Lin didn't want to listen to it anymore and began to pick up vegetables for himself. For some reason, the suspicion of Yu Junjian in his heart increased by another point.
He couldn't find Yu Junjian's motive for ignoring Jiao Shuyu's information before, but now he seemed to be vaguely aware of something. Maybe today's scene is Yu Junjian's motive?
If there was no burning Wanyin Temple, no one would be panicked, and there would not be such a high willingness to form an alliance; if it were not for Duan Hong's gratitude and dependence on Dai An Peak now, everyone would not believe in Dai An Feng overwhelmingly, intending to elect Yu Junjian as the leader of the Central Plains Immortal Alliance.
He wanted to tell Duan Hong about this, but he restrained himself. Without any evidence, how could he suspect Yu Junjian, who was about to become the leader of the Immortal Alliance?
