The welcome knew the order of the lord of Zhong Zhai to lead Mingzi and Hu Niu to the upper seat. But this seat is exquisite. There are so many heroes and heroes here today, most of them are characters with heads and faces. Jianghu people talk about pomp and face. You are the head of a faction, I am the leader of a mountain, why should you be the top and I should be second. In the eyes of the Jianghu people, the seat is by no means a trivial matter, so it is not uncommon to fight on the spot. Therefore, this time, Zhong Kunlun held a "golden basin to wash his hands" banquet, and specially ordered people to spend a lot of time and energy to arrange the seats for the heroes. Tian Zhige, the owner of Dazhai, had been in charge of a cottage alone before, and he had a lot of experience in this area. Xiao Junnan, the master of Sizhai, has always been by Zhong Kunlun's side, and he is more familiar with the characters in the rivers and lakes that the master has befriended. Therefore, this important task was planned by Tian Zhige and Xiao Junnan and his subordinate owners.
According to the status of the Jianghu characters who came today and the relationship with Zhong Kunlun, the master of Tianzhai and the master of Xiao Zhai arranged a main table of fifty people, which is a large round table with a diameter of more than six zhang, and those who can sit on this table are all prominent figures in the rivers and lakes. The main seat of this table is naturally the protagonist of today, Zhong Kunlun, the chief owner of Black Dragon Village. Behind this large table, there are ten large round tables with a diameter of more than three zhang, each table has a main seat, which is sat by a person with a relatively high status who is not at the main table, and the four owners of the village and the owners of the sub-village are in the second seat as accompaniment. Further back, more than 100 tables are placed in turn, and the main and secondary seats have been arranged.
Because all the seats have already been arranged, this welcome doesn't know where to greet Akiko and Tiger Girl. He had to ask the two of them to wait for a while, and he quickly ran to the main table, where Tian Zhige, the lord of Dazhai, was greeting a few important guests. The welcome guest walked to Tian Zhige's side, and the owner of the village knew that he had something, so he arranged for the guests to sit down, and then turned around and asked him: "What's the matter?" The welcome guest told the situation of Mingzi and Hu Niu, and said the order of the head of the village, and then asked the owner of the village. After Tian Zhige listened, he followed the instructions of the welcome guests and looked at Mingzi and Hu Niu in the distance. I saw that Mingzi was not very old, dressed in coarse cloth monk's clothes, and at first glance he was a wandering monk, while the tiger girl was also coarse cloth coat, and the village girl was dressed as a villager. He frowned, and said in his heart that the main table, even the upper and second seats of the "Tian" seat were already full, how could there be any seats. What's more, these two people know at a glance that they are not great characters. But under the order of the head of the village, he couldn't help but receive it, so he came to Mingzi and Hu Niu with the welcome.
Mingzi saw that there were about forty people coming, with a white face and short beard, and a tall posture, and at first glance he was a good martial arts practitioner, but his face was gloomy and he was not angry and arrogant. The welcome was busy introducing that this was the Lord Tian Zhige of the Black Dragon Village.
When I went up the mountain before, the welcome introduced that the owner of the big village was nicknamed "Leng Yanlang", Mingzi thought, he probably got this title because of his gloomy face and cold attitude, so he didn't care.
Tian Zhige hugged his fist at Mingzi, who was busy clasping his hands together and saluting, and asked, "I heard that the senior monk is from Shaolin, but I don't know what to call the Dharma name?"
Mingzi hurriedly said respectfully: "The little monk's name is 'Shi Ming'." ”
Tian Zhige said in his heart, speaking of Shaolin's "interpretation" generation, it is only under the "Xuan" generation represented by Xuanjing Abbot today, and the status of the rivers and lakes is not low. But this "interpretation" has never been heard, I think it should be Shaolin "interpretation" of the word disciples, probably this "interpretation" is just to enter the temple early, mixed with the name of the "interpretation" generation.
At this time, Xiao Junnan, the owner of the fourth village, came over, and Mingzi saw that he was not very old, with delicate facial features and clever eyes. Xiao Junnan had already heard about Mingzi and Hu Niu from others, and after he greeted a few guests, he came over to take a look at the excitement. Tian Zhige saw him coming, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xiao is here, let me introduce you to the Shaolin monks." ”
Akiko has dark skin, and if it was white, you can already see him blushing. He was called a high monk several times, and he was terrified in his heart, so he quickly said it again, saying: "The little monk's Dharma name is 'Shiming'." ”
Tian Zhige introduced: "This is the youngest and most promising master of the four villages in our Black Dragon Village, Xiao Junnan and Xiao Zhai. ”
Xiao Junnan was not as cold as Tian Zhige, but said with a smile: "Brother Tian made fun of me." Then he smiled and said to Mingzi: "Master Shi Ming is from Shaolin, and today I came to witness my master's 'golden basin washing hands', welcome." ”
Akiko hurriedly said a few polite words respectfully. Xiao Junnan immediately asked about the situation of several monks in Shaolin, and Mingzi answered truthfully. Xiao Junnan handed Tian Zhige a color, which meant that after his own temptation, Mingzi was indeed from Shaolin. Tian Zhige gave a look back, which meant that even if he was from Shaolin, he was not a powerful person, but he was just a monk who ate food. At this time, a few more important guests came to the Huixian Hall, and Xiao Junnan hurriedly said, "Brother Tian, I'm going to entertain those people." After turning around and looking at the tiger girl, he gave Tian Zhige a look. Tian Zhige knew in his heart that Xiao Junnan had come to see the excitement, and these two people had to deal with it themselves, Xiao Junnan's last look was to tell himself that this Shaolin monk had brought a woman to eat, and it was not a serious way. Tian Zhige already despised Mingzi in his heart, because of the tiger girl, he looked down on these two people more and more, and now he just wanted to get rid of these two people quickly. So Tian Zhige greeted the greeting before he came, and said: "You take the Shaolin monk to the 'Hai' seat and arrange the seat there, don't be lazy." ”
This welcome knew that in addition to Zhong Kunlun's fifty-person table, this seat was divided into "heaven" and "earth" seats. There are a total of ten tables of "Tian" word seats, and all the guests who can not be on the main table, but have a more distinguished status, are accompanied by four village owners and sub-village owners on these ten tables.
The "earth" seats are divided into 12 classes, and each class has a number of tables. The last of the 12 seats is the "Hai" seat, and all the tables for this seat are at the back of the hall, and there is no specific guest list, just a spare seat reserved in advance. Even some disciples of the small sect who came to congratulate them didn't need to be arranged here, how could Tian Zhige's intention be unknown to the guests.
So his attitude also became sluggish, but he still honestly led Mingzi and Hu Niu to the "Hai" seat. No one has yet sat down at the table, and the tables are empty. The welcome was flattering, and an empty table was arranged for Akiko to sit on the upper seat. The people who could have sat here are now taking advantage of the opening of the banquet to get close to those "big shots", how can they sit here honestly like Mingzi and Huniu. After the welcome arrangement, Mingzi and Huniu immediately went to do other things. The tiger girl sat next to Akiko, and she took Akiko's hand while watching the welcome walk away.
