On the night of the fifteenth day of the first month of the second year of Zhengtai, the Son of Heaven of Middle Earth invited the cultivators of the sect to a banquet in the Imperial Garden to thank the Daomen for their great merit in saving the people of Middle Earth last year.

Kunlun's me, Princess Lin, Liu Ziyue, Zhang Ji, Song Xingxing, Dragon and Tiger's Mei Wucheng, Shangguan Pianpian, Xu Huisi, Wu Meng, and Yuan Zhi of Xingzong A total of ten people went to the Imperial Garden to attend the banquet of the Son of Heaven. The Nangong Panshi of the Star Sect was unable to come due to retreat and cultivation, and Tang Weiyang, Lin Chaoyan, Mo Yubing, Zhong Dajun, Wang Shaozong, Xie Chengfeng, Teng Bayun, Qin Xiao and six swordsmiths of the Sword Sect, a total of 14 people went to the Imperial Garden to attend the banquet of the Son of Heaven. It turned out that Xiaoyue, a member of the Sword Sect invited by the Son of Heaven, was punished back to Shushan because she violated the rules of the Sword Sect Discipline Academy, and she couldn't come.

The Imperial Garden is located in the northern suburbs of Gyeonggi, upstream of Cheonil-su. In ancient times, it was the hunting ground of the emperor of Middle-earth, with lakes and mountains, and countless rare beasts and birds. Emperor Taizong Taizong set the old rule: in spring and autumn, the imperial garden is open to the four people of Shinong, industry and commerce every month. But this year, in January, the Imperial Garden made an exception to close the mountain for January, and concentrated on preparing for the Lantern Festival feast for us.

Earl Yin Wei of the imperial capital pulled out 300 Zhuji halberders and 3,000 qi practitioners to equip the forbidden army with various kinds of ordnance, which were led by five Jindan commanders and stationed in various key places in the imperial garden to protect the Son of Heaven.

On the evening of the 15th, we entered the Imperial Garden with two chariots and horses.

All the three princes and nine kings (except for the imperial capital at the end of the nine kings, Count Yin Wei, who stayed in the capital) greeted them in the pavilions and pavilions by the lake - Taishi Xun Si, Taiwei Yan Luobai, Imperial Shi Dafu Zhizhi, Liubu Zhengqing and Yaqing, Guangluqing and Yaqing, Gongnei Qing and Yaqing, Imperial Capital Ciyin, etc. (I only remember Du Zimei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who came to Longhu Mountain to greet us, Shi Ziming, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Kong Zhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who was responsible for the expansion of our Shangqing Palace).

The civil and military magnates led us to the Taiye Pool of the Son of Heaven Imperial Pavilion in the heart of the garden.

Tonight, the sky is clear, and the moon is empty. Surrounded by the inner servants of the neon clothes, the young son of heaven and the three beauties of the Allure City were already waiting in the east seat of the master in front of the palace

-- Taishi Xun Si informed us: The most noble and strict beauty is the mother of the Son of Heaven, the Empress Dowager Zhen Yunyi, the daughter of the former Yaqing Zhen Yuandao of the Ministry of Rites, who practiced the art of sword immortals in Shushan when she was young; Although the woman deliberately concealed her sadness, her melancholy color was still unconsciously revealed, and the last lively girl was Princess Roufu, the beloved sister of the Son of Heaven, who was the princess who married the Son of Heaven and the left general Nangong Panshi at the court meeting.

"It's not as good as Ao Jiu. ”

In her thoughts, Princess Lin commented.

The Kunlun Dragon and Tiger people sat down at the west seat. The remaining few honorable seats are waiting for the Yuanying Master of the two sects.

The Jizo Lion put the collar of the spirit animal identity around his neck and sat down with Feng Meng at the table of Princess Lin and me. I hope to stay with Xiao Zhi's last empty seat - the hour is not early, I don't know when she will come to the palace from the company camp?

The inner puppet taps the jade.

The handsome members of the Sword Sect entered the garden one after another. Princess Lin looked at a woman among the fourteen who was as beautiful as a peach and a plum, and as cold as frost and snow, and handed me a divine thought,

"She is Mo Yubing, who is ninth on the list of mountains and rivers. When I encountered the barren mountain, I used the Five Elements Qi Refining Soldier, and she didn't unseal the higher prohibition of the divine sword, so she slashed through the void and left. ”

Completely different from her human temperament, the flying sword held by the cold-faced woman in her hand did not have the slightest surprise in my divine thoughts and six senses, but it was just a four-turn treasure soldier with two handles in the inner disciple of the Sword Sect - according to the rules of the Sword Sect, the sword of the Dao Fetus Jin Dan was at least a five-turn treasure soldier.

-- Is that one of the five great divine swords, the "Flying Immortals Outside the Heavens"? What a big difference between this famous nine-turn divine sword and Lin Zhenren's Biluo Yellow Spring!

"A hundred years ago, the master of the Flying Immortals outside the sky was Murong Guantian's henchman Tang Rou, the Yuanying powerhouse of the Tang Sect. After Lin Daoming was given the Biluo Yellow Spring of his master Yun Zhenren, he fought against Tang Rou's Flying Immortals outside the sky and obliterated the sword spirit of the Nine Turns Divine Sword. For example, today's new sword spirit of the Outer Flying Immortal and Mo Yubing's mind are the same, and since the divine sword is obscure, it also proves that she is not in the state of mind of fighting now; if she wants to fight, the Flying Immortal outside the sky will lift the ban layer by layer according to the different opponents. ”

Meiwucheng Road,

"This is my experience of fighting with Mo Yubing in the last mountain and river list. At that time, she unsealed the Flying Immortals outside the sky to eight turns three times, and the true yuan was not enough to drive the divine sword, and she didn't know that she would be able to drive several eight turns to slash after more than twenty years. ”

Princess Lin snorted, "You really look down on me." The last time we fought, this woman only unsealed to seven turns to deal with me. ”

Pian Pian sighed lightly, "It's really the true yuan of the mountains and rivers." ”

I think of Xiao Zhi's alfonsino that has also fallen.

"Then who was the Sword Sect member who defeated Murong Guantian back then?" I asked.

"Yuan Jun knows Murong Guantian, but he doesn't even know the person who defeated him?--It's the head of the Sword Sect, Tianluoge! He used the chapter of the head of the divine sword, Yuan Shizhi, to wipe out the sword spirit of the Murong Demon Nine-Turn Divine Sword Golden Eye Snapper. ”

Princess Lynn looked at me with her hand on her cheek.

"The Jiangshan Dynasty has outstanding heroes, and the head of Tianluo and Lin Zhenren have been leading the Daomen for a hundred years after they eliminated the demons. On another day, the teachers and friends here will inevitably be able to bear the heavy responsibility of the Daomen. ”

Meiwucheng encouraged us. After a few days of contact, I feel that this senior brother of Dragon and Tiger is gentle and gentle, and he has a gentleman's style.

Mo Yubing's gaze turned to us, and an ethereal sword intent swept through my thoughts, as if the sword wind was swept away.

My hand rested on the sword of the silver serpent. The woman only revealed a little sword intent, and my silver snake sword spirit was aroused with surging battle intent, which was too uncalm.

Mo Yubing's gaze did not intersect with anyone at our table, but fell on Murong Zhi's empty seat.

"Where's Yuan Zhi?"

A cold thought sounded in my heart, it was the woman who asked me.

I don't answer.

Mo Yubing sat in her seat, speechless like a stone statue.

At the Sword Sect table, Tang Weiyang and Lin Chaoyan talked and laughed freely, Zhong Dajun occasionally asked them for advice or two, and the other ten people listened respectfully. Carefully observed, the status of the Sword Sect is clear and strict, and no one has the slightest transgression, which is quite different from our Kunlun's freewheeling, Longhu's mentors and friends.

Mo Yubing was speechless, and no one dared to talk to her. Lin Chaoyan seemed to turn a blind eye to her. Only Tang Weiyang sometimes talked to Mo Yubing for a few words. Mo Yubing didn't speak, just nodded slightly or shook his head in response.

Liu Zi beside me grinned, "This woman is just a girl chopping wood, and since she joined the Sword Sect, she has been pretending to be cold and noble, and her shelf is bigger than that of the princess and county lord." ”

In the file of the Manying Society, I read that Mo Yubing is a female sword fairy who walks in the six paths of Yan Zhao to slay demons and eliminate demons, and Xiao Zhi has a great relationship with her. Could it be that Xiao Zhi said that the eyeliner of the Sword Sect is-?

The puppet knocked on the jade chime, interrupting my thoughts.

――In the distance, the figure of a beautiful boy in black and a girl in white appeared on the water's edge. The face of the girl in white was vaguely haggard, and I had unspeakable pity in my heart.

Wen Hou and the Son of Heaven briefly talked about the situation of the Lantern Festival in Beijing. Murong Zhi said to the Son of Heaven, "The ministers followed Tianbo Hou to cross the river and build a fort, and in more than ten days, they repelled dozens of harassing demon soldiers and stabilized the company camp. Tianbo Hou Tuochen Qi Qi His Majesty, tonight he can not be ordered to go to the banquet, to the north bank day and night to guard the Yuanying Demon attack-we captured the demon general confessed: Xiao Longyuan has sent demon soldiers to lobby the demon monkey Dejian in Guanzhong to help, and the ghost king who is lurking in the Nine Shadows also has the intention of coming to Hebei to help. ”

We and the Sword Sect are in peace.

"Tianbohou is really respectful. A few days ago, many envoys had been sent to report the military situation to the Taiwei Mansion, and this time I was tired of Aiqing to play to me again. ”

The Son of Heaven smiled.

――I know that Hebei has gathered Yuanying peak demons like Xiao Longyuan and Ao Taotao, and Qingwei Zhenren of Tianluo and Dragon and Tiger can only maintain the Qin Wangjun from retreating for many months. Yuwen Badu's glorious victory on New Year's Day seemed to make Xingshì turn to the side of the sect, but the news that Murong Zhi spit out seemed to mean that Batu had just stabbed a hornet's nest and lured the evil demons to the imperial capital for hundreds of miles.

――If Xiao Longyuan's lobbying is successful, the four real-life demons will gather in Zhongzhou!

"It's not a good thing. Such a mountain and sea of demons are enough for us to slay Mingxin. ”

Mo Yubing suddenly spoke, her eyes fixed on Murong Zhi.

Tang Weiyang on the Sword Sect seat said loudly to the Son of Heaven:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! We have four emperors, the governor of Jiangnan, Qingwei Zhenren of Dragon and Tiger, and Ji Liuli Zhenren of Kunlun. Even if the four demons gather, His Majesty can sit back and relax—what's more, in my opinion, it was just Xiao Longyuan's bluff trick after being defeated by the Grand Duke!"

Without waiting for the Son of Heaven to respond, Zhen Yunyi, the mother of the Son of Heaven, had already folded her palms and bowed to the southwest of Shushan, and muttered in her mouth: "Selfishly hope that the Huixu Ancestor of the Sword Sect and the ancestors of the Emperor Family will bless our mother and son safely." ”

Murong Zhi returned to our seat and gave Mo Yubing a look.

"She and her sister—?" I asked.

"One has experienced some life and death in Yanzhao, and has saved each other's lives several times. Murong Zhi said lightly and smiled at us, "Although I haven't rested for a few days, I can still fight with the upper level of the Sword Sect, Jin Dan."

Princess Lynn took her hand,

"Looking forward to Sister Zhi's Excalibur!".

Wenhou Shennian asked me how I was recovering.

("Zhenyuan has reached the scale of the middle level of Jindan, and the Silver Snake Sword has also been cultivated seventy percent - the last time I contacted the Son of Heaven, I didn't achieve anything, I wasted the magic weapon of the sect, and I lived up to the hard work of my senior sister.) I replied.

("It's okay, we have a big trend.") Moreover, everyone is of one mind. Wen Hou said.

The jade of the inner puppet sounded again.

Suddenly there was a strange fragrance in the air, the fairy music was fluttering, and the five immortals came in a vacuum.

In addition to Ji Liuli and Yuwen Badu, I also saw three strange real people with immortal wind bones.

The civil and military elites bowed and gave way. The people of the Sword Sect stood solemnly.

Yuwen Batu took a seat at the head of the Sword Sect. The people of the Sword Sect saluted him.

Another middle-aged man wore a purple cloud robe, wore a long sword at his waist, held a whisk of dust in his hand, and walked leisurely in front of the Son of Heaven's banquet.

The young man of Danho Mime respectfully offered the man a seat like a disciple.

"Emperor, please. ”

The man nodded his head and sat at the head of the Son of Heaven as usual,

"Xiao Longyuan is not worried, the Son of Heaven does not have to worry. ”

He said.

"The disciple and the Queen Mother are at ease. ”

The Son of Heaven replied.

Ji Liuli, who holds jade ruyi, accompanies a handsome middle-aged man and a girl Dao Gu who holds the red dust.

Princess Lin's face was surprised, and then she tilted her head away, and Liu Ziyue quietly pushed me, and I followed the rest of the people to stand solemnly.

The man's jade tree is in the wind, his clothes are unstained, and his appearance is five points similar to Princess Lin, but he has a majesty.

"Disciples, see the master, Liuli Zhenren, Qingwei Zhenren!"

Liu Ziyue took the lead and said. I read along.

Yan Yuan bowed to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven returned the salute, and he exchanged a salute with Wenhou, and then bowed to us and took a seat at our chief. The girl Daogu and Ji Liuli also received the courtesies of the Son of Heaven and the doormen, and then sat down in the second and third seats respectively.

Princess Lin and I changed seats and tried to stay away from Yan Yuan.

("I'm still angry with my father's scolding me.") She said in her thoughts.

The sky falls and the head high-fives,

"Daoists from all walks of life are here, so let's start the Lantern Festival feast. ”
