Volume I, Chapter 34
Today is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which is an important festival for the people. On this day, every family has to eat zongzi.
That is, today, the second major event in the martial arts in the past twenty years has ushered inβ that's right, this is the birthday of Shangguan Jiannan, the old owner of Zixia Villa.
Why not the first? Because the first important event was the catastrophic battle that almost overturned the entire Central Plains martial arts twenty-five years ago.
However, these two things are closely related to one person, that is, Shangguan Jiannan, a legendary figure in the martial arts.
Today's Zixia Villa is full of heroes, even more than ten years ago when they participated in the Heroes Conference.
Seeing that it was about to be noon, just as the heroes and heroes from all walks of life finished enjoying the outer courtyard of the villa and were about to enter the leisurely residence in the inner courtyard, the last group of guests and the most important guests were ushered in outside the Zixia Villa.
This leisurely residence is located in the southeast corner of the inner courtyard, which is a large annex.
"It's really the first village in the world!" When they saw the interior layout of the free house, everyone issued the same admiration.
It's just that in their eyes of surprise and admiration, they invisibly have more admiration for Zixia Villa.
Except for a quaintly decorated hall in the far north that exudes an air of adoration, all that remains is an empty space.
It was this emptiness that made them even more reverent of Zixia Villa.
The empty courtyard was divided into many areas of various sizes. And the name of each area turned out to be the name of their gang sect. It made them all feel very face-saving. Wouldn't it be very face-saving to let Zixia Villa know that there is such a sect in the rivers and lakes?
Of course, there is a difference, when everyone is seated in their respective areas. Only to find that in the closest place to the hall, the largest areas were still empty. Of course, none of this has much to do with them.
Each area is not independent, except for the different names of each area, each area is like a tavern, except that the tavern has no walls on all sides, so you can chat and drink with the people around you. Isn't this in line with the habits of the Jianghu people?
Soon, under the reception of Du Lao, those people came to the free house in the inner courtyard.
When those people walked through the area, all the gangs cast respectful glances. And the men, who didn't look at them, just walked straight to the area closest to the hall with a haughty smile on their faces.
Because these last guests are some of the most prestigious sects, three halls, four gangs and five factions in the rivers and lakes today.
Because at this moment, there are only one sect and the Jade Sword Sect in the two sects, the Liuyun Hall in the three halls, the Rainbow Gang in the four gangs, the three hundred and sixty-five Golden Dart Gang, and the five factions.
The five factions are the Black Water Sword Sect, the Red Fire Sword Sect, the Aoki Sword Sect, the Platinum Sword Sect, and the Loess Sword Sect that were differentiated from the Five Elements Sword Sect a hundred years ago.
This sect is the Tianji Sect, which is known as the first sect in the world, and the other of the two sects is the Demon Sound Gate, and the other two halls of the three halls are Wanhua Hall and Black Clothes Hall. The other two of the four gangs are the Shura Disha Gang and the Wanli Yellow Sand Gang.
They deserve to have such a look, and it seems normal to them.
However, there is one named the Cloud Shadow Gang, who doesn't seem to buy their account. But how could they pay attention to a nameless faction! It's just that no one knows that there is one less person in this Cloud Shadow Gang at this moment.
When they sat down, they heard a voice shouting, "Please, old farmer." All eyes were on the hall.
I saw that Shangguan Jiannan was wearing a purple and gold robe of wind and thunder, and stood in front of the hall with a red face on his face.
Shangguan Jiannan was followed by three people, an old man, and two young sons. The old man is naturally Du Lao, and as for the two sons, one is Shangguan Tianlei and the other is the blood playboy Chu Ci.
"Thank you martial arts friends for coming thousands of miles to Zixia Villa, I will first salute all friends for this glass of wine. After speaking, Shangguan Jiannan drank it all.
"We are honored to be able to celebrate Brother Shangguan's birthday. If there was no Shangguan brother, how could there be the harmony of today's martial arts. "It was the Sect Master of the Heavenly Machine Sect who spoke, and the eagle eyes were Jiang Fei.
I heard that the sect master of the first sect in the world said so. And all the people raised their glasses in unison, and they should shout.
Then Shangguan Jiannan said a few more words to everyone, and then left with Du Lao. Only Shangguan Tianlei and Chu Ci were left here to accompany all the friends in the rivers and lakes in his place.
Soon, the birthday banquet ended in the drunkenness of everyone.
At this time, the sky was dark, but the western sky, very red, very red, flowed there like blood. What does it seem to portend?
But in the eyes of everyone, this is a good sign, because today is special. Therefore, no one wants to think about the good, those taboo things. It's just that a blood-light disaster is coming.
Some drunken heads of various factions were graciously led to a place called the Water Cold Palace.
