Banquet farce
After the ceremony, it was a banquet of course. Of course, the hall is not suitable as a place for banquets. The group returned to the outer courtyard and set up a bamboo hut in the square where the annual puja is held. Each guest sat cross-legged on a futon, with a small table in front of him, on which was placed a self-pourer-made pot and a small wine glass. Then there are four or five dishes of dried fruit and side dishes. The Buddha does not eat meat and does not drink alcohol, so the self-poured pot is filled with spiritual dew collected from the flowers of the 10,000-year-old pine and apricot trees. The guests who came today did not have a foundation building period below, so every table was served with tofu made of ryohua pulp. But there was only a small drop, and there were only three or four pieces in it. The rest of the dishes contained only a small handful of dried fruits. But people who know the goods will not be stingy with Fahua Temple.
As today's Buddha, Qingli of course has to sit on the main seat and accompany the guests to drink and feast. The elders, however, do not attend such feasts. They had already returned to the Scripture Pavilion. The Spirit Void Sword Venerable of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect handed over Murong Yu to all the real people, and ran to find Qingtan to catch up. However, Lingxu's seniority is high, and the people here really don't dare to pick his courtesy. Of course, there could be no singing and dancing performances at the banquets of the Buddhas. But that doesn't mean that Buddhist practitioners are boring. There are many disciples who choose musical instruments as their usual hobby. At this time, there were disciples sitting by the lake playing elegant music, which made the whole banquet more elegant.
Those leaders generally only drink spirit dew and occasionally eat other spirit fruits. However, the small handfuls of 10,000-year-old pine cones, apricot fruits, and the tofu made of Liuhua syrup on the plate were all given to his disciples. Since there are no singing and dancing performances, it is more convenient for a group of leaders to talk and communicate. It stands to reason that the worst of the guests who came to watch the ceremony were also from second-rate sects, so they should be quite knowledgeable. But this time there was an exception. In the second-rate sect, the inorganic faction in the middle and lower reaches has changed its head. However, this head is not the original candidate.
The inorganic faction is located in the border of Yannan, where it is sparsely populated and lacks resources. As a small sect, the inorganic sect was able to leap to the ranks of second-rate sects because it was rich in iron concentrate. The inorganic faction is not strong, but it has a lot of eyes. If it weren't for the fact that all the sects were monks, this sect would be like a large secular family. And the most important thing that wealthy families lack is to compete for power and profit. The new head Feng Chi who came this time was not favored by his master, so he did not receive any training as the heir to the head. However, before he joined the faction, he was the son-in-law of a small Xiuzhen family, and he would compete for power and profit since he was a child. No, the former head went out and met the Demon Cultivation Fall. When he got the news, he bought the murderer and assassinated the senior brother of the sect who went out to find the body of the head of the family. After other unsavory means to eliminate other stumbling blocks, Feng Chi sat in the position of head.
Of course, Feng Chi, who was not a core disciple, was not carefully cultivated by the former master, and his vision was extremely low and he was jealous of his ability. In addition, he is extremely greedy, but he can't completely hide his shortcomings. Therefore, the guests of various sects who came to Fahua Temple to observe the ceremony this time found out his temperament after talking with him. A group of people have long since beaten it into the ranks of incompatibility. There are even the heads of second-rate sects who want to go back and talk to the third-rate sects that they have befriended from their own sects. It is impossible to say that the third-rate sect they have befriended can pull this inorganic sect down and rank themselves among the second-rate sects.
This wind gallop is a big young master who loves to enjoy in the secular world. After he came to power, the inorganic faction was even more greedy for pleasure. So how could such an elegant banquet in Fahua Temple suit his taste. Feng Chi was already jealous of Qingli becoming a Buddhist son at a young age. Judging from his habitual thinking, other major sects should not want Buddhism to continue to grow. The friendly attitude between the heads of the major sects should only be a superficial situation, and there must be endless fighting in private. So he thought that if he gave Qingli no face, he was afraid that he would be able to curry favor with the three major sects, and it would be even more beneficial for the inorganic sect to secretly befriend these sects at that time.
In fact, the heads of the second-rate and above sects in the Brahma realm, as long as they have received the training of orthodox heirs, know the reason why these sects can exist for a long time. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Brahma Realm and the Extraterritorial Demon Realm were not just the existing passage on the side of the Cold Water Palace, but there was a large area of border. And the battle between humans and demons caused great damage to the vitality of both sides. And in the end, the elders of the Buddha Sect and all the Supreme Elders of the three major sects joined the elders of other sects to sacrifice their lives to completely separate the Demon Realm from the Brahma Realm. And the Demon Realm has since become an extraterritorial Demon Realm. The sects that participated in this battle at the beginning gradually developed into the major sects they are today. And the backbone sects in the second-rate sects are also the sects that participated in the war that year. Nowadays, the number of second-rate sects has increased, but it is the old comrades-in-arms who are really recognized by the top sects.
Perhaps these leaders do have their own sectarian interests at heart. But the Extraterrestrial Demon Realm and the Brahma Realm are not completely out of touch. In order to prevent the arrival of the next human-demon war. These sects, which have been inherited for thousands of years, are actually tightly united in private. There may be some disputes between the various sects for some interests, but they will never completely turn their enemies around. And Buddhism often exists as a peacemaker at such a time. This is also the reason why Buddhism has a transcendent status in the Brahma realm. Maybe some sects will decline because of such and such sects. But as long as they don't die, other sects will also reach out to help them at critical moments.
As a latecomer sect in a second-rate sect, the inorganic faction has never known the mystery of this, not to mention the improper origin of this head of the sect. This time, Feng Chi opened his mouth with a small abacus: "I thought that Fahua Temple, as the ancestral temple of the Buddha, also had some family background. That's what it turned out to be for us. It seems that this Buddhism is not as beautiful as it seems on the surface. ”
As soon as Feng Chi's words fell, a group of people looked at him as if they were mentally retarded. Where did this fool come from, but he went wild in Fahua Temple. However, a group of people still wanted to see the methods of the new Buddha of the Buddhist Sect. If Qingli can't stand up, it will be difficult to find the Buddha sect in the future to coordinate the major affairs between the various sects.
Qingli didn't even change a smile on her face. She leisurely put down the cup in her hand and said, "This black chicken is still the head of the crow faction. Forgive me for being too young to remember your name. ”
A group of people laughed secretly. However, this group of people looked at the innocent appearance on Qingli's face, and they felt very familiar. The head of the sect who had suffered the loss of Qingtan instantly shuddered, and mourned in silence for the head of the inorganic faction.
"What black chicken faction? I'm the head of the inorganic faction. "I want to smash the cup in a hurry. However, he suddenly saw Qingli's cold gaze at him, and unconsciously put down the cup in his hand. After doing this action, he secretly scolded himself in his heart for being useless, and was actually shocked by the eyes of a little girl.
"Oh, it's the crazy boss!" Qingli accentuated the crazy word. Many of the leaders present immediately understood Qingli's consciousness. Isn't that crazy? You can't do such a stupid thing if you're not crazy.
"The crazy head is the head of a second-rate sect, so he may not know. On the plate in front of you are tofu made of ruffle syrup. 10,000-year-old pine cones, 10,000-year-old apricot fruits, and pickled 10,000-year-old ginkgo fruits. Qingli said sarcastically, "This thing is not very precious, but it is just to improve the qualification of the monk." But nothing is too much. If you eat too much of this thing, I'm afraid that someone like the crazy boss won't be able to withstand the explosion of the spirit root. Therefore, for the sake of a monk like you, who is more than 300 years old and has just entered the Yuan Infant Period, and for the sake of treating everyone equally, I can only grieve all the heads to follow and taste a little something. ”
Qingli's words not only satirized Feng Chi's lack of knowledge and bad qualifications, but also pulled the other heads into the water. Originally, you could have eaten more, but unfortunately I could only wronged you in order to treat everyone equally. These leaders are not shallow-eyed, and of course they will not be angry about this. But a group of people laughed.
At this time, no matter how stupid Feng Chi was, he could hear Qingli's sarcasm. During this period of time, the wind and water caused the inner swelling of Feng Chi's brain to heat up, and he actually attacked Qingli. The leaders around were about to cry stupidly by this man. This is to make a feud with the Buddha. Attack the Buddha, even if the Buddha doesn't love to fight, he will attack the inorganic faction. Think of the Cold Water Palace five hundred years ago. Originally, the sect that had been inherited for 10,000 years was simply made to the bottom of the second-rate sect, and in the end, it was wiped out. Now it seems that this inorganic faction is about to follow in the footsteps of the Cold Water Palace.
Don't look at Feng Chi as a Yuanying Zhenjun, but his qualifications are not as good as Qingli said. This cultivation is originally piled up with pills, and he dares to take action against the Buddha cultivators who can challenge the level. Qingli just wanted to make a move, but Xiao Jin, who was sitting on the side, jumped out first. Xiao Jin, who officially became the guardian beast of Qingli, was simply furious when he saw that someone dared to make a move on Qingli in front of it. Xiao Jin, who is equivalent to the late stage of Jindan, jumped out and gave Feng Chi a left hook.
The power of the golden-eyed mighty ape is well deserved. A punch slammed into Feng Chi's face, making a creepy cracking sound. When everyone took a closer look, the right side of Fengchi's face was completely sunken and fell to the ground unconscious. Next to it was the blood he spat out and a few teeth. If he hadn't been a monk, he would have died on the spot. Everyone couldn't help but shudder. This guardian beast is a little too vicious.
Qing Xun, the head of the Fahua Temple Discipline Academy, directly called his disciples to detain Feng Chi and his disciples. As for how to deal with it in the future, of course, it will not be announced after this time.
Qingli said slightly apologetically: "A little farce has disturbed your interest. We're sorry that this was not the right arrangement. I'm here to toast you with a glass of dew instead of wine, which is considered to be an apology to everyone. ”
Everyone hurriedly said: "Where is it not the master's fault. Then he lifted his glass and drank it down.
The banquet at the back was more harmonious. A group of people even reached a brief agreement on matters related to the sect competition conference that would be held in a few years. It can also be regarded as allowing everyone to have a further understanding of Qingli's ability to deal with external affairs.
In general, except for that little farce. Kiyori's first banquet as host was quite a success.
