Chapter 56: The Strange Elder
When night fell, the lights were bright in the Xia family's martial arts hall, and the clansmen were enthusiastically cheering Xia Mingfeng's name, accompanied by an old cough, which instantly suppressed other noisy sounds.
Xia Yuan, who was on the high platform, sat on the main seat in the middle, looked at the clansmen who had already stood in order, coughed and said: "This big competition is over here, reward Xia Mingfeng with a top-grade spiritual weapon, a bottle of Mingxin Pill, and a thousand high-grade spirit stones, and after today, Xia Mingfeng will be the position of the Xia family's young clan, and can participate in all things in the clan." ”
"Xie Old Ancestor" Xia Mingfeng took a step forward and bowed slightly.
"Award for the juvenile group Xia Mingxin, a high-grade magic weapon, a thousand low-grade spirit stones, and three bottles of Huiqi Pill, remember not to be greedy for fun, but to practice hard. ”
"Xie Lao Zu Reward" Xia Mingxin happily bent down towards Xia Yuan and bowed, and hurriedly stepped forward to receive the reward.
"Today, our clan ushered in two elders from Dao Xuanzong and Xuanwu Sect to watch this big competition, the two elders will invite some clansmen to enter the door, you follow your own wishes to join or not, and the clan will not interfere. After rewarding the two, Xia Yuan looked at the Ming Zi disciples who were divided into two groups and stood in a row.
"Mingfeng nephew, I don't know if you are willing to join my Xuanwu Sect? There are many benefits in my sect, I believe that after Mingfeng's nephew goes, he will definitely not treat you badly. After Xiong Hu heard Xia Yuan finish speaking, he flew in front of Xia Mingfeng with one step, promising benefits while fooling Xia Mingfeng into worshipping the Xuanwu Sect.
When Xia Mingfeng opened his mouth to say something, he saw Qi Hong also coming to him from Fei Fei at this time and said, "You"
"Brother Qi, this is your mistake, I'm talking to Mingfeng's nephew, you can't come and intervene. Xiong Hu hurriedly shouted.
Qi Hong didn't pay attention to Xiong Hu who was shouting on the side, and looked at Xia Mingfeng with some solemnity: "You are a disciple of the Mixed Yuan Sect?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiong Hu's originally gentle and smiling face became ugly, and his expression was a little iron-blue, but he didn't say anything.
"Yes, I don't know what advice the seniors have?" After Xia Mingfeng heard the question, he looked at Qi Hong and didn't know what it meant, so he replied out loud.
Qi Hong looked at it, and when Xia Mingfeng admitted it, a look of truth flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "Did you participate in the Winter Secret Realm two years ago?"
"Yes, is there something going on with the seniors?"
"What did you bring out in the secret realm?"
"Of course, the juniors and your fellow disciples just brought out some precious herbs from it, it seems that these have nothing to do with the seniors, right?" Xia Mingfeng was full of heart, his face was as usual, but there was a trace of vigilance in his eyes.
"You" Qi Hong was obviously annoyed by Xia Mingfeng's words, but his face immediately changed to a gentle introduction.
"Brother Xiong, you don't know how powerful the young patriarch is. ”
"Oh, does Brother Qi know?"
"Brother Xiong doesn't know, do you remember the Winter Secret Realm two years ago? At that time, Mingfeng Xiaoyou and the disciples of the Mixed Yuan Sect broke through the encirclement of many sects, and they were killing in and out of it, and it seemed that at that time, it seemed that Xiaoyou's cultivation was only in the middle stage of Tuna, right? In just two years, he has already entered the Qi refining period, and he is really a genius. ”
Although Qi Hong's mouth was complimentary, Xia Mingfeng still found a trace of hidden killing intent in his eyes.
After Xiong Hu heard what Qi Hong said, his fists tightened a little, his face was a little unnatural, and he glanced at Xia Mingfeng with some hatred.
The rest of the people who didn't know about the secret realm two years ago all listened attentively to what Qi Hong said, and more young people looked at Xia Mingfeng with adoring eyes.
"Little girl, how about entering my Dao Xuanzong?"
When Xia Mingxin was standing on the side, she suddenly saw Qi Hong arrive in front of her at some point, listening to Qi Hong's voice, a little bad face appeared shy, but her tone seemed a little firm: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I've already thought about it, like Brother Mingfeng, I want to worship the Mixed Yuan Sect like Brother Mingfeng." ”
Qi Hong and Xiong Hu looked at each other, and then selected a few more qualified young people and children to enter the Dao Xuanzong and Xuanwu Sect respectively.
"Okay, okay, two old brothers, since the people have been selected, let's hurry up and take the seats, shall the next people have already prepared the seats. Xia Haihao pulled the two elders of the Immortal Dao Sect at this time and walked towards the outside of the Yanwu Hall.
Xia Mingfeng came down from the ring, and Wang Jue and the others greeted him and said, "Senior Brother Xia, I guessed it all this morning, if you don't win, there will be basically no reason." Wang Yueru and Li Qi also nodded in agreement.
"Come on, senior brother, let's go eat something together, I heard that the clan has prepared a lot of delicious food to celebrate today. Xia Mingfeng smiled and said to Wang Jue.
Wang Jue drooled while smirking to himself: "It's delicious, hehe, what are you waiting for, Senior Brother Xia, let's go quickly?"
Wang Yueru and Li Qi looked at Wang Jue's stupid appearance, and laughed happily, causing the passing clansmen to look at them and stand there motionless, and hurriedly came back to their senses after hitting the person in front of them.
"Let's go" accompanied by Wang Jue's urging, Xia Ming led the way in front of the limelight and walked towards the outside of the Yanwu Hall.
When he was walking in the courtyard, he heard someone shouting behind him: "Brother Mingfeng, Brother Mingfeng is waiting for me." ”
Xia Mingfeng looked at the three people behind him suspiciously, scratched his head and asked, "Who is calling me?"
"Seems like I heard it too. ”
"Okay, Senior Brother Xia, I heard the voice of a little girl, and I didn't even let you go of such a little girl" Wang Yueru said righteously, and suddenly burst out laughing, Li Qi also pursed his lips and smiled, on the other hand, Xia Mingfeng's face had turned the color of pig liver, and he was obviously angry.
Xia Mingfeng shook his head helplessly and said, "Is it a delusion?" Just as he was about to leave, a voice came from behind him: "Brother Mingfeng, I just caught up with you, why do you want to leave again." ”
Everyone turned around to look at the voice, and it turned out to be her cousin Xia Mingxin chasing after her from behind, and said with a smile: "Mingxin, why are you here?"
"Brother Mingfeng, I want to worship the Mixed Yuan Sect and become a strong man like Brother Mingfeng!" Xia Mingxin's immature voice, speaking of determination, also made the second daughter on the side laugh.
Wang Yueru pinched Xia Mingxin's little face and said, "You have to endure a lot of hardships to enter the Mixed Yuan Sect, and you have to learn from your brother Mingfeng? His reputation is not very good in the sect! Do you still have to study?"
"Senior Sister Wang!" Xia Mingfeng hurriedly stopped her from going on, and Wang Jue and Li Qi looked up at the sky as if they hadn't seen anything.
Xia Mingxin pouted, and said to Wang Yueru unhappily: "You liar, you are a liar, Brother Mingfeng is so powerful, you must lie to me, and Brother Mingfeng must be very powerful in the sect, you must lie to me." ”
"Oh, I'm lying to you, or you can ask Senior Sister Li to see if I lied to you, your brother Mingfeng is very famous in the sect. Wang Yueru not only joked about Xia Mingxin, but also joked about Li Qi and Xia Mingfeng.
Li Qiqiao's face flushed, and she hurriedly pulled Wang Yueru aside, and said a little angrily: "Senior sister, what are you talking nonsense?"
"Okay, okay, the woman spares her life, I just don't play anymore. Wang Yueru pretended to surrender and chuckled.
Xia Mingxin looked at a few people strangely, and finally said to Xia Mingfeng with some expectation: "Brother Mingfeng, can you take me to worship the Mixed Yuan Sect?"
"Mingxin, aren't you afraid of hardship?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Okay, you go and talk to your parents these days, and get ready, but worshipping the sect is your own business, and I can't help you, but if you fail to worship the mixed yuan sect, I will ask the sixth uncle to send someone to send you back to the family at that time." ”
"Well, okay," Xia Mingxin agreed with obvious reluctance.
Li Qi and Wang Yueru looked at Xia Mingxin's pouting mouth, and scratched on it: "Let's go, let's go to dinner, see that the pouting mouth is about to hang up something." ”
A group of five people came to the hall together, and the elders and servants in the courtyard all shouted respectfully or cordially: "Young Patriarch"
Xia Mingfeng nodded calmly in response every time, but the joy in his heart had already been revealed from his eyes.
There are more than 20 tables on a boxy table of eight immortals, and there are eight plates on it, with all kinds of chickens, ducks, and fish, all of which have been fed by Linggu since childhood.
As everyone began to sit down, the maids all served the dishes on the table with soup bowls, Wang Jue looked at the dishes he had just eaten, and began to taste the soup served, there were sweet, salty, spicy, fresh, and there were about 20 dishes per table in total.
"Senior Brother Hiccup, what kind of way do you eat this? There are too many burps. After the banquet dispersed, Wang Jue hiccuped and talked, causing the three of them to laugh.
"Well, I haven't eaten much either, I seem to remember what my family said before, three or eight noodles, eight dishes, eight small bowls, eight big bowls, I remember that it seems to be like this. Xia Mingfeng tried hard to recall and remembered some.
After Wang Jue "burped" twice, he patted his stomach and said, "Yes, yes, I ate too much today, I like it." ”
"Senior Brother Wang, who let you eat so fast, and no one robs you" Wang Yueru was laughing at Wang Jue when a handyman behind him ran quickly.
"Young Patriarch, Patriarch, please go to the study. ”
"Oh, lead the way. Senior brother and sister, go back by yourself now, I guess my father has something to do with me. ”
"Well, Senior Brother Xia, you can leave us alone. ”
Xia Mingfeng followed the handyman through the courtyard and came to a study: "Father, are you looking for me?"
"Haha, Feng'er sit down and talk to her father. Xia Haihao said very happily, and dismissed the miscellaneous servants with a wave of his hand.
Xia Mingfeng got up and asked after seeing the handymen leave, "Father, is there anything to find me so late?"
"Enfeng'er, you will abolish Mingyuan today, in case your second uncle"
"Father means" When Xia Mingfeng was speaking, a murderous aura suddenly appeared on his body, which made Xia Haihao slightly stunned.
"Feng'er, no, let's wait and see what happens, if your second uncle doesn't do it, we won't have any reason to do it at all. ”
"By the way, my father, that Elder Qi Hong of the Dao Xuanzong, why do I think he is so strange?"
"Oh, what's so strange?" the father and son began to talk late into the night.
After Elder Qi Hong finished being a guest, he flew away, and when he returned to Dao Xuanzong, he kept telling something to the jade talisman in his hand, and after finishing speaking, he saw a big wave of his hand, and the jade talisman in his hand crossed the air like a meteor and disappeared into the night.
