The war in Jiangnan broke out again, and the establishment of the three major camps made Xu Beiyou, the titular general of Pingyu, useless, but it was okay that he could stay in Houjian for a few more days, and he was not in a hurry to return to the imperial capital, let alone go to Jiangnan again.

Chengping twenty-four years, October. After entering the early winter from late autumn, although the snow has not continued to fall, the weather has become colder and colder, and the far north position of Houjian is even more cold, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the water is dripping into ice.

In this cold weather, there is a heart-warming happy event in Tianhai City, in which the parties are not others, it is Song Qingying, the deputy head of the Xuanjiao, and Chi Qingnu, one of the twelve hall masters, the two of them are determined to become Taoist couples under the rule of Wanyan Beiyue.

The so-called Taoist couple, originally the language of Taoism, originally meant to be partners in the practice of cultivation together, but later it gradually evolved into the meaning of two monks becoming a couple, which is equivalent to a husband and wife in the world. Among them, the extremely famous Taoist couples include Qiu Ye and Murong Xuan, as well as Gongsun Zhongmou and Zhang Xueyao and so on.

Because of this, the ceremony of forming a Taoist couple has become a top priority, just like ordinary people getting married, they have to hold a big banquet and feast on guests and friends. With the identity of this "newcomer", the people who can be invited are all people with prominent status, and they are all proud of it. Xu Beiyou, as the top figure among the monks in the world today, and the sect master of the Sword Sect and the son-in-law of the Great Qi Emperor, received an invitation from Song Qingying very early.

There is a distinction between superior and inferior people, and this is something that no one can deny.

The same is true of this wedding banquet, the most noble Wanyan Beiyue and others, of course, can't sit at the same table with ordinary guests, or even live in the same room with them, so in the end, Xu Beiyou, Wanyan Beiyue, Xiao Yue, Murong Xuanyin and a few other people live in a single room.

The two newcomers toasted outside, but the atmosphere inside was somewhat uncomfortable, after all, it was Wanyan Beiyue and Murong Xuanyin who lived in the same room, the two were one and the same, and they had been hostile for many years, and the grievances and grievances were not clear for three days and three nights.

In fact, Xu Beiyou, an outsider, is fine, the most embarrassing thing is Xiao Yue, she is one of the few people in the world who has ever seen Wanyan Beiyue's young appearance, Murong Xuanyin's appearance is the same as Wanyan Beiyue when he was young, this is like an old man and a young husband standing in front of him at the same time, and the taste is like a person who knows how warm and cold he drinks.

In addition, the wine and food of today's wedding banquet can not be said to be careless, today because of Wanyan Beiyue and Xu Beiyou, Song Qingying and Chi Qingnu attach great importance to it, and the husband and wife personally cooked a table of Suyun banquet from the Taoist sect, many of the rare ingredients used in it are unheard of in the world, only the major sects have special cultivation methods, and some of the ingredients are simply replaced by medicinal materials, that is, the rich Xuanjiao, dare to act like this, in exchange for an ordinary portal, this Suyun banquet will eat half of the family's foundation。

The names of Suyun banquet are also quite interesting, they are the spirit pill into the Ding, the longevity of the holy fetus, the seven return of the pill, the Qianlong Moyuan, the yellow bud Yuying, the nine turns to return the pill, do not forget not to help, plus two soup dishes to drink Daogui and Changsheng wine, a total of seven dishes and two soups, "seven dishes" are all allusions from the Taoist collection, "two soups" are all real things, longevity wine needless to say, it is not only a practice method, but also a Taoist medicine, Crouching Tiger Zhao Tinghu faced Xiao Yuanying when he relied on this thing to continue his life, drinking Daogui is even more famous, Gezu was in "Hug Puzi" There is a saying that if you take the three knives, the three corpses and nine insects will be destroyed, and all diseases will be cured.

Xu Beiyou saw that the atmosphere was stagnant, so he took the initiative to give two bowls of "longevity wine", of course, this "longevity wine" is not the immortal wine that can live the dead in Zhao Tinghu's hands, but rock sugar bird's nest porridge, and then sent these two bowls of rock sugar bird's nest porridge to Wanyan Beiyue and Murong Xuanyin respectively, and said with a smile: "Beiyou's trip to Houjian can be said to be worthwhile, in the final analysis, it still depends on the help of the two predecessors, so Beiyou takes advantage of this happy event to respect the two." ”

Wanyan Beiyue first looked at Murong Xuanyin, who was looking at his nose and nose, and then at Xu Beiyou, who was smiling sincerely, and reached out to pick up the bowl of rock sugar bird's nest porridge that had been pushed in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Murong Xuanyin immediately picked up the bowl in front of him.

Wanyan Beiyue took a sip and said slowly: "My family knows about my own family, you are very similar to my temperament when I was young, and you are paranoid, in order to deal with me, you could be mixed with Xiao Jin and Lin Han, at that time, I already understood that no matter what kind of 'surprise' you will give me in the future, I will not be surprised, so I will imprison you in the Star Picking Tower." ”

Murong Xuanyin drank his bowl of rock sugar bird's nest porridge and sneered.

Wanyan Beiyue continued: "In fact, looking at Houjian and Xuanjiao, you are not inferior to me in terms of qualifications and abilities, but your temperament is too stubborn, even if I put Xuanjiao and Houjian into your hands, I am afraid that it can only be prosperous for a while, not a long-term way." However, in this regard, I am not doing too well, I only have the cultivation path in my eyes, although my temperament is quite tenacious, but I am weak in scheming and inflexible. And Song Qingying lacks atmosphere, and his achievements are limited in this life. There are also Chi Qingnu and others, who are already the ultimate in blocking one side, but they can't do it if they want to be in charge of the overall situation, so don't mention it. As for those disciples of the younger generation, there may be people who will carry the crown in the future, but they are still too young, if there is any more time for Jiazi, they will be able to take over the mantle smoothly and take charge of the portal, but in such a long time, Xuanjiao as a whole will show a trend of green and yellow. ”

Murong Xuanyin was silent.

As the former leader of the Xuanjiao Sect, how could he not understand what Wanyan Beiyue said, but in order to fight with Wanyan Beiyue, he had no time and didn't want to think deeply.

Wanyan Beiyue sighed softly: "If you can be with me, after I take the last step, this great Xuanjiao will not be impossible to put into your hands." ”

Murong Xuanyin said expressionlessly: "It's so far, it's useless to talk too much, now I'm a wasted person, whether I can return to the top one day, I'm afraid it depends on fate, I don't force it anymore." It doesn't matter if you have it, you can't do it, after all, it's a fate, sometimes you have to have it, and you can't force it when you hit it. ”

When he said this, Murong Xuanyin's expression could not see half of his dissatisfaction and resentment towards Wanyan Beiyue.

It's just that in today's world, the person who knows Murong Xuanyin best is Wanyan Beiyue, and the old man said noncommittally: "Not long ago, Nangui asked me, can I take you away, whether it is to go to the imperial capital, to go to Jiangdu, or Biyou Island, which is possible in the future, in short, it is to leave and build to give you a stable place, I didn't answer him immediately at the time, I will invite you out of the Star Picking Tower today, and I ask you, are you willing?"

"If you want, you will leave with Xu Nangui. If you don't want to, stay here, and I'll make arrangements for you in the future. ”

Murong Xuanyin first looked at Wanyan Beiyue, then turned his head to look at Xu Beiyou, and after being silent for a long time, he said softly: "Wanyan Laozi and Xu Xiaozi, the younger one is better than the old one. ”
