Chapter 34: The Vegetarian Feast

The theft of the Xiqi Imperial Palace caused a lot of noise all night, and the chickens and dogs were restless.

Emperor Xiqi, who was cultivating in the outer garden, hurriedly returned to the palace, and Prince Pingjia hurriedly opened his gift, and a thief sneaked into Yuyang Palace and snatched a fairy pet Pixiu.

Thankfully, there was nothing else to lose.

Emperor Xiqi saw that his face was pale, but Prince Pingjia only said that he was slightly injured, and did not say a word about the secret room.

Outside the long pavilion in the eastern suburbs of the capital, the lush buildings, the shadows of the flowers are swaying, the sound of the piano fluttering in the moon pond is melodious, and the eyes are raised to see Zining snuggling against the railing of the water pavilion, with a smile on her face, and sleeping sweetly.

The prince of Tanglin lowered his head, looked at Zi Ning with indifferent eyes, and said leisurely: "You really plan to mix in the vegetarian feast, this is too risky." "The eyes turned from Zi Ning to Yue Hengtang, Kunlun Emperor has a special identity, and coming uninvited at the vegetarian banquet will definitely attract all kinds of suspicions.

Yue Hengtang's deep gaze fell into the dark night, and he said lightly: "I can't show my face in public, but I have to try to find out who is the minion of the Heavenly Demon and clear the portal in time." ”

For this operation, he needs the help of the prince of Tanglin.

Tanglin Gongzi's eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "I didn't promise to help you." Moreover, you don't involve Zi Ning, this is a grudge between the immortal clan and the heavenly demon, and it has nothing to do with her. ”

Yue Hengtang's expression moved slightly, and he said for a while: "Xuannu has been reborn in 100,000 years, and I don't know how many people covet her." It is precisely for Zi Ning that the traitors in the Immortal Dao Realm must be found out. No matter what happens, I will accompany her to face it and get through it. ”

Donglin Gongzi turned around suddenly, his eyes became complicated, and he muttered to himself: "Xuannu, it turns out that Zining is the rebirth of Xuannu." ”

Yue Hengtang nodded slowly, "Wuji Xuannu has been reborn, the world is in chaos, Zining needs someone to protect her." ”

Tanglin Gongzi fell into deep thought, and took a long deep breath, "Okay, I'll help you this time." I will appear at the vegetarian banquet, and you will use the stealth trick to enter the hall, which will not attract attention. I will monitor Emperor Fa Dove's side, you keep an eye on Prince Pingjia and the others, especially be careful of what Fang Luoxi does. Whether this matter can succeed or not depends on luck and chance. ”

Yue Hengtang nodded and said calmly: "Tonight's matter, Prince Pingjia will definitely not dare to publicize it, we have a great chance of success." ”

looked at the sleeping Zi Ning slowly, and saw that her pink face was like a little apple, pursed her small mouth, and slept soundly.

Zi Ning, don't be afraid, I will protect you.

......

On the day of fasting in the immortal realm, Emperor Xiqi invited the 72 caves of the 36 caves of the Taoist clan to gather in the Yuzun Mansion to go to the vegetarian feast.

In the afternoon dusk, the Empress Hua Yao of the Immortal Clan holds the precept ceremony, the main hall of the Yuzun Mansion is lit up, and twenty-four round night pearls hang on the top of the palace, lined with the yellow palace lanterns, shining with soft light and shining brightly.

Eight vermilion lacquered nanmu pillars in the hall stand upright, and the banquet table is arranged in two rows of forty tables along the edge of the pillar, and two or three people share a table. Empress Hua Yao has a noble status and is listed in a single seat, accompanied by Emperor Fa Dove and Princess Tong on both sides.

Prince Pingjia was injured last night, his face was extremely haggard, but he could barely support it, on his left was the Mud Pill Zhenren of the Peacock Spirit Cave, the Sansan people of the Danxia Cave, and on the right were the Judao people of Mianzhu Mountain and the Dunxian Ancestor of the Lingyuan Cave.

In addition, Zhenxu Cave, Maogong Cave, Meishan Cave, Jincheng Mountain, Yunhuang Mountain, Maling Cave, Xiaoyao Cave, Luluotai, Tongbai Cave, Horseshoe Mountain, Qingyuan Mountain, Lanhe Mountain, Yuanchen Mountain and other blessed land caves, as many as 100 people came to the banquet. Although they are all small Dao Clan Cave Mansions, it is also a rare event for cultivators to gather together.

Emperor Xiqi was dressed in a gorgeous crown, sitting on the high seat of the main seat, and seeing the guests' sideburns flashing during the banquet, they were full of fairy wind bones, and he couldn't help but feel quite surprised. The Xiqi country is so famous, and the four seas and eight wilderness return to the heart, so it attracts many immortal people to come to the banquet.

It's a pity that the immortal clan only came to Empress Hua Yao, and it would be such an honor if the Kunlun Emperor could be invited to the banquet.

Everyone in the Dao Clan Cave Mansion had long wanted to witness the immortal posture of Empress Hua Yao, and when they saw it at the vegetarian banquet at this moment, they were amazed, their hearts swayed, and they couldn't restrain themselves. For Emperor Hair Dove marrying the Empress of the Immortal Clan, who is both talented and beautiful, he is both envious and jealous.

Mud Pill Zhenren looked at the Empress Hua Yao on the banquet from afar, and saw that she was wrapped in gorgeous clothes, her skin was like snow, and her face was full of radiance, and she couldn't help but lose her mind. Turning his head to look at the young maids serving in the hall, he suddenly sighed secretly, although there are many beauties in the Yuzun Mansion, they are all together, and they are not as good as a finger of Empress Hua Yao.

Seeing that Yuzun was not at the table, he asked strangely: "Yuzun's mansion organizes a vegetarian banquet, but Yuzun himself does not attend, somehow?"

Emperor Xiqi said with a smile: "The real person doesn't know, seeing that Su usually doesn't like vegetarian food the most, and he doesn't like to be restrained, so he can't attend." ”

Everyone nodded silently, Su Wen Yuzun likes beautiful food, enjoys the glory of the world, and never eats these light vegetarian foods. His temperament is so peculiar, but it is really not easy to refine to the realm of the first cultivation of the Dao clan.

People who cultivate immortals, lust, greed, and hatred, and the mundane feelings of red dust are all obsessions of demonic obstacles, hindering the advancement of cultivation, but Yuzun is stained with almost everything, but he can also refine his unattainable cultivation, which shows that his qualifications are against the sky.

Suddenly, I heard the bell outside the hall ringing, "Penglai Wonderland Dongling Gongzi is coming-"

The guests who were seated stood up, and all eyes turned to the entrance of the main hall. Emperor Xiqi was surprised, and shouted in surprise: "Hurry up, please, quickly prepare the VIP seat." Immediately, his subordinates added a table to the throne, and the wine utensils and utensils were neatly arranged.

The prince of Tanglin is a nobleman of the Penglai immortal clan, and his temperament has always been lonely and cold, and he is proud of not conforming to the customs, but this time he actually came to the vegetarian feast, which surprised everyone.

A clear and graceful flute sound from far to near, the breeze and green shadows flashed in the hall, and the prince of Tanglin spun down from a high place and slowly fell in front of everyone's eyes.

Princess Tong sat on Empress Hua Yao's side, clenched her hands, stared at him with obsessive admiration, and muttered in her mouth: "Brother Tanglin-" There was a slight melancholy in her eyes, and she was moist with a hint of moisture, unwilling to look away.

There has never been more extravagant hopes, just a glimpse from afar. Even if it is separated by green mountains and clear water, it is just a glance.

The prince of Tanglin bowed his hand slightly to Emperor Xiqi, nodded and smiled at Empress Hua Yao, and then sat down. Yue Hengtang, who had cast the trick of invisibility, stood quietly beside him, and a pair of eyes scanned out alertly, passing over the faces of all the guests at the banquet.

The spies of the heavenly demons who were bought by the heavenly demons were hidden among these people.

Tanglin Gongzi sat in the seat, his eyes were as clear as water, his face was indifferent and silent, he was dressed in green clothes and flute, and his hair was hanging down, which suddenly became a quiet picture.

Prince Pingjia's face was gloomy, there was the sound of the flute of the prince of Tanglin in the palace last night, and then the thieves broke into the Yuming Palace, broke through the iron cage and snatched Bai Pixiu, and then entered his secret room to destroy the pill, these things must be inseparable from the prince of Tanglin.

At this time, the banquet had not yet begun, and the guests were chatting left and right.

Prince Pingjia didn't smile at his skin, and arched his hand: "Last night, the prince's Yuyang Palace was stolen, and an ancient immortal pet Pixiu was lost. I don't know who did it, but I hope that the son of Donglin will guide me. ”

Donglin Gongzi's face was calm, without any fluctuations, and after a while, his pure eyes turned to him, and he said lightly: "The prince's face is not good, I am afraid that his cultivation is excessive." Sometimes, the way of heaven is natural and natural, and if you are in a hurry, you will inevitably have shortcomings. There is a way that the sins of heaven are forgivable, and the sins of oneself cannot be lived, what does the prince think?"

When Prince Pingjia heard what he said, he couldn't help but be angry and ashamed, his face was red and white for a while, and he had to say, "That's right. Hurriedly avoiding the cold gaze of the prince of Tanglin, pretending to be indifferent and calm, and secretly hated in his heart: "The one who broke into Yuyang Palace at night must be the prince of Tanglin!"

"When-when-dang-" The bronze bell on the eaves outside the hall rang three times, and the feast of vegetarian food officially began. The hall was quiet, and everyone knelt in front of the low couch, kept the vegetarian etiquette, and silently worshiped heaven and earth.

There was a burst of silk and bamboo fairy music, and two teams of young maids wearing palace sara clothes appeared, holding white jade-colored bowls and plates in their hands, slender and slender, and walked into the hall.

On the couch table, there are 12 immortal vegetarian dishes, Suxian water melon shreds, Su Lingbao chowder, millennium ginseng fresh mushrooms, Lingyam fragrant stewed hanging cloud silk, Taiwan mushroom fried Xianyou vegetable stewed gluten, fairy root bamboo roll burst water spirit lotus, 100-year-old bean paste stewed fried spirit oil tofu, fairy silver sunflower box side dish, spoon fairy sunflower cake and red cake, vegetarian filling thin skin bag, ** rice, fairy silver spirit silk noodles each.

These vegetarian dishes are made of fairy grass and spiritual flowers, and all the guests can't help but move their appetites when they see it. They usually take fairy grass, and they swallow it raw with roots and leaves, and the taste is bitter and astringent, and it is very unpalatable.

And this vegetarian feast uses fairy grass and spiritual flowers, with dishes that are often eaten by mortals, cooked deliciously, with attractive color and aroma. The guests stared at each other, eager to see all the twelve vegetarian dishes into their eyes.

When Emperor Xiqi saw this scene, he was very proud in his heart, and he smiled slightly at the thin beard that stroked his chin. In order to prepare for this vegetarian feast, Xiqi invited a famous immortal chef in the immortal world to prepare the ingredients of the fairy grass and spirit flower one month in advance, which can be described as painstaking.

......

Behind the rockery in the garden of Yuzun's mansion, Zi Ning hurriedly changed a fragrant brocade dress to herself, frowning: "I listened to your words, what else do you want?"

The girl in front of her was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a face with a sharpened chin, and sneered: "The last dish of the vegetarian feast will be sent in by you, remember, you are not allowed to play tricks, otherwise your mother will die!"

Zi Ning's heart froze, and her eyes looked her up and down, "I know, you are Fang Luoxi!" Emperor Fa Gu arranged for Fang Luoxi to enter the hall to dance, but for some reason he suddenly changed his mind.

"What should I do?" Zi Ning was secretly anxious, Fang Luoxi threatened Lin Niang's life, and Yue Hengtang and they were still in the vegetarian banquet.

Fang Luoxi pursed her lips, revealing a very unfathomable expression, "You go into the palace to deliver food, find an opportunity to get close to Prince Pingjia, and secretly change the jade belt around his waist." As he spoke, he took out a fake jade belt and handed it to her.

Zi Ning frowned, bit her lip, and said, "Okay, I'll help you steal the jade belt, don't embarrass my aunt." Reaching out to pick up the food box, the mood was also heavy.

kept chanting secretly: "Zi Ning, don't worry, A-Niang will definitely be fine." ”

Outside the vegetarian banquet hall, the two teams of young maids were impatient, and when they saw Zi Ning coming over, one of them said, "The guests are waiting for the last dish, why did you come." They only recognize clothes and not people, and this girl wearing fragrant brocade is the person they are waiting for.

The maids each held a large bowl with a green jade porcelain lid, neatly arranged in two columns, a touch of goose-yellow palace clothes swayed, with the melodious sound of fairy music, they stepped into the banquet hall. When he ascended, the main hall was decorated with flowers, which made everyone dizzy.

The guests suddenly saw a graceful skirt flash, and a beautiful girl dressed in gorgeous clothes, carrying a red bamboo carved food box, lifted the corner of the skirt and walked in. The palace lamp reflects her dark silk dress embroidered with spring purple cloud patterns, which is unusually beautiful and luxurious, and a dragon title bead inlaid with treasure steps is inserted on her head, shaking and shaking.

Empress Hua Yao was stunned, this is Zining!

When the prince of Tanglin saw Zi Ning enter the hall, a trace of surprise appeared on his calm face, and his divine sense immediately swept to Yue Hengtang, and asked, "Why did Zi Ning come, you actually let her show up in front of so many people?"

Yue Hengtang saw a touch of melancholy on Zi Ning's face, his eyes trembled, and he replied with his divine sense: "Someone persecuted her." ”

At this time, a dark smile flashed on Emperor Hairdove's face, and his eyes like vultures stared at Zi Ning.

Hmph, the Xuannu was reborn, and this king will let the people of the Dao Clan Cave Mansion see the Xuannu.

His cold eyes glanced at Empress Hua Yao, and secretly thought: "Hua Yao, Zi Ning is the daughter born to you and Jian Zun, and you have hidden it from this king for more than ten years. Since she is a Xuannu, let her life be worse than death!"

Princess Tong on the other side of the couch table was in a fluctuating mood, raised her eyes and glanced at Donglin Gongzi, seeing him staring at Zi Ning intently, she suddenly felt a pain in her chest, "Why is she here, she is still ghostly, do you have to pester Brother Tanglin?"

The guests did not know who the girl was, and they all whispered to each other.

She is wearing the most precious fragrant brocade in Xiqi country, and the fragrant wind is wafting around, with a noble and outstanding style. The bun was high and coiled, and two strands of loose hair hung down on both sides of the ears, revealing a neck as white as jade. The deep collar wraps around the neck, the waist is fluttering, the rings are jingling, and the waist is swinging, swaying.

is so beautiful and extraordinary, I don't know which princess of the Taoist Cave Mansion.

Prince Pingjia's eyes flashed, revealing a strange look, "This woman is not Fang Luoxi, so who is she?"

Fang Luoxi: Hmph, you haven't seen Miss Ben's methods yet, when you come out of the banquet, I'll give you another surprise!
