Chapter 224: The Night Banquet Begins
"Hidden in a coffin?"
“......”
There was no word on the roof for a long time, and there was a faint question of peony downstairs. Reading Pavilion Free Serialized Reading Network casually, the four people on the roof of the building all turned their eyes to the right side, staring tightly, behind the white curtain, the back half of the figure...
That's indeed a coffin.
And it's a coffin that people can't forget at a glance. Seven feet long, three feet wide, and four feet high. Carved with all sorts of strange spell patterns. Forty-nine sheets of palm-sized pieces of bright yellow rune paper, with bright red charms written on them, were pasted on the edges of the coffin's top lid on all sides. If what Peony said is correct, the possibility that the sixth person hid in this coffin is indeed very high.
However, Xia Xun quickly poured a spoonful of cold water on their thoughts...
"Not inside, it's outside..."
Xia Xun downstairs shook his head, looked at Peony's beautiful eyes, and said affirmatively: "That person is hiding three feet under the coffin, where it meets the ground." The breath is very weak, but the qi and blood are strong, you can't smell it, it should be that he used some extremely clever concealment method, which is not surprising. ”
"Oh..."
After Xia Xun finished speaking, Peony nodded his head as if he didn't understand. And the tension here has eased a lot, and at the same time there is a little surprise.
What I was surprised was that I was surprised that Xia Xun's legendary divine consciousness was superb. You don't need to look at it, just with the mystical and mysterious six senses, you can take in the things beyond the wall... And, what slowed down was that Xia Xun was talking about concealing methods, not hiding what a terrifying person. Such an inference undoubtedly made dozens of old Taoists in the house settle down a lot of hearts. After all, life and death fights, as long as they are not invincible opponents, then everything is easy to say. If you can't win, you can still have a chance to run, right?
It's just that this is just the moment.
But it doesn't represent the four business predators on the roof of the building, who have been scared to the core. Xia Xun talked, the atmosphere upstairs and downstairs went to two extremes, the downstairs turned from frightened to slow, and the upstairs turned from horror to fear in an instant!
Without it...
It's because they can see it, but they can't see anything...
This is not a contradiction.
On the roof of the building here, what the four business road predators could see was Xia Xun's "three feet under the coffin, where it meets the ground", which was where the strange young man with the coffin was sitting quietly. And what they can't see is that at this moment in this position, except for the reflection of the young man and himself...
Where is the sixth person Xia Xun said?!
And, Xia Xun said earlier that the man used extremely clever concealment methods, so that the strong smell of peony could not smell any clues. This may be excusable and reasonable.
But, it's not logical!
The four of them were no more than three feet away from the coffin! Between the two, although there was a thin white veil covering it, it did not hinder the sight of the coffin at all. At such a close distance, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was close at all.
And that's exactly what happened!
The four of them had been in the same room with the strange young man with the coffin for several hours. And all the while, they never felt the existence of the so-called sixth person. Even at this moment, even if Xia Xun had already explained the location clearly, their eyes could see clearly, but they still didn't notice any abnormal clues!
It's scary...
In the face of such a fact...
Where is it just an "extremely clever means of concealment", which can be described in a simple sentence? There is a soul but no color, no shadow, no form, such an existence, except for those legendary ghosts, how can it be human?
But are there really ghosts and gods in the world?
Shake...
Thinking of this, the four people who had been killed in the mall for a long time couldn't help but shudder. They seemed to suddenly understand why Jin Buchanghui would rather be a dog than stay in Yueyang Tower and wait for this strange young man with a coffin...
Because...
What will happen in Yueyang Tower tonight is likely to be several times more fierce and bloody than the turbulent waves on the Yingshui River!
Such a possibility can be seen from the strange boy in front of him who has been sitting quietly for several hours and is motionless. It can also be seen from the dozens of old Taoists downstairs, as well as the green shirt who just went upstairs, the sackcloth, the green feng, and the little ruffian. As for the invisible sixth person in Xia Xun's mouth, it is one of this possibility... Inevitable!
Because, the existence of "him" is only killed!
Blood!
"Hehe..."
The four of them had nothing to say, but they didn't dare to speak. Therefore, this sneer could only come from the lips of the strange young man behind the white curtain. He sat quietly for several hours without moving, and after this laughter, he finally moved!
His movements were very small, and he didn't have too many expressions, just holding the porcelain cup with two fingers and taking a sip of light wine, and that's it. Immediately after that, he put down his glass, and quietly cast his eyes out the window, returning to his previous posture, and there was no movement...
It feels like his small action is like responding to the speculation of the green shirt downstairs, just a silent statement.
Harmless...
"Let's go in..."
seemed to feel the meaning of an action, and Xia Xun downstairs then withdrew his gaze looking up at the roof. Holding the jade hand of the peony, he slowly walked into the wing...
“......”
Looking at these three young people, the more than 30 veteran Taoists here are very unpleasant. The light hidden in the eyes, or suspicion, or resentment, or a little fear, each has subtle differences.
"Who is that person?" After Xia Xun, Peony, and Mo Xian sat down on the edge of the central round table one after another, the old Taoist on the railing outside the room, with a long beard of white flowers, asked in a deep voice.
"I'm not sure..."
After pouring three cups of tea, Xia Xun thought about it and replied, "But, I can sense his existence." According to the degree of vigor of blood, it should be a peer. ”
"Oh..."
“......”
The old Taoist seemed to understand something from Xia Xun's two sentences, nodded heavily, and didn't ask any more questions.
At this point, this little episode is over.
For the so-called sixth person, whether it is a human or a ghost, in fact, everyone already knows in their hearts. As for what his appearance represents, and in which direction he will lead tonight's events, it is not known for the time being. And his existence is like the beginning of Zangfeng's appearance, which makes the already anxious heart even more worried, just like the surging water, surging endlessly, flowing eastward...
Make tea and drink water, and look north without words.
Looking up and down the river, the silver moon and red silk fluttering, people and the silent night meditating.
At the same time that Xia Xun and the four of them climbed the Yueyang Tower, Xia Yuan at the other end also led the number one hundred and ten people and horses to officially enter the venue of tonight's night banquet. And, Master Hu, who ate Xia Yuan's dismount, stopped a lot. didn't take his hot face anymore to stick to Xia Yuan's cold ass, and he didn't take his cold face to not know what to do. After all, people want faces, trees want bark, and he can't compare to the shameless dog who doesn't change gold. He still can't fully control the resentment that ordinary people should have, but he has been in a high position for many years, and he has a little more city government and bearing than ordinary people...
After Xia Yuan and the others sat down one after another, there were no empty seats for the banquet seats up and down the river, and there were no more whispers, and the sound finally condensed to the freezing point of tonight.
Only the sound of the endless churning waves, accompanied by the sound of heavy breathing, secretly tells the gloom of this place.
The real Lantern Festival...
It's about to begin...
"Sasha..."
Yes, here we go.
Master Hu on the edge of the red cloth Yan tidied up his clothes a little, restrained three points of resentment, picked up seven points of righteousness, and walked along the edge of the red cloth to the bottom of the red cloth. Bow deeply to the banquet guests on the east, west and south sides, and then clench your fists with both hands, raise a few inches towards the sky, and shout loudly!
"The bright moon, the mountains and rivers, the wind is endless, and the long water is miserable. Thank God for the beauty and give the Lantern Festival a good night. I also thank the heroes of all walks of life in the seventeen states and thirty-three counties of the Southern Regions, who went to the banquet with their faces, and fulfilled this century-old story tonight..."
Gently pick it up and put it down gently.
After saying the opening sentence that was not painful, Master Hu flattened his raised fist a little, and suddenly changed his tone very abruptly, and continued to shout loudly towards the guests who were here for several miles!
"There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun..."
"The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, and it turns into a bird, and its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, and he flies angrily, migrates to the South River, the water hits three thousand miles, and he sways up to 90,000 miles, and he rests for more than ten years. Its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky, and its claws are like the lightning of waterfalls and thunder!
At this point, there was a pause.
However, Master Hu's words must not have been finished yet. Without it, it was because a travelogue of an ancient sage was changed a few words at will, and then it came out of Master Hu's mouth, and it completely changed its taste.
It's a strong king's spirit!
Therefore, this foreshadowing has come out, and in Master Hu's mouth, there will inevitably be a follow-up...
"Huang Fu Nanyu, waiting for the destiny of heaven..."
Sure enough, not long after the words stopped, Master Hu opened his mouth again and shouted loudly. This time, however, he spoke extremely slowly, as if he wanted to convey every word clearly to the ears of everyone in the room. It also seems that he is brewing something...
"The destiny of heaven returns, the loess returns! The heart of the world returns, and the people are safe!"
"Raft!"
At the last word, Master Hu's hands clenched into fists suddenly waved vigorously!
"Phoenix, Emperor!"
"Knock knock!!"
The words fell, the order came out, and the first drum sounded.
Following Master Hu's last four words, 100 tiger skin drums that had already been prepared on both sides of Yingshui shook at the same time! The roar trembled for nine days, and the waves of the river suddenly lost its surging waves. It's like an endless giant beast roaring from both sides of the strait, shocking the world from all directions!
"Knock knock!!"
The momentum of the drums set off a dozen strong winds, blowing straight to the banquet guests on the deck, their clothes and long hair fluttering, and their bodies trembling. If it weren't for the fact that the guests who came to the banquet tonight were all high-ranking people, otherwise it would be a question of whether they could sit still.
"It's a big deal..."
"There are so many blue-eyed tiger skins in reserve!"
At the beginning of the storm, some of the bright-eyed banquet guests immediately recognized the extraordinary features of the big drums on both sides of the strait.
"Blue-eyed Tiger"...
