Chapter 364: The Old Man
"I really want to keep drinking, but it seems that time is running out. ”
Suddenly, Feng Yue frowned, looking like his interest was interrupted but helpless, he sighed and patted Ye Wen's shoulder, and after glancing at Xiahou Tianyi over there, he looked at Ye Wen helplessly and said, "The old guy who is presiding over this banquet is here, and we will have the opportunity to sing about wine again later." ”
With that, he stood up with the empty jar and staggered in the direction of his seat, almost bumping into the waiters who came and went between the tables along the way, but fortunately the waiters were well-trained and avoided the past one by one, and even so, this swaggering appearance attracted a reproachful look.
Ye Wen looked at this scene, and subconsciously couldn't help laughing, thinking that this brother Feng is really a wonderful person, and his gestures are extremely rude and rude, but it is not like the arrogance of the kind of gentleman, but it makes people feel that he is approachable.
But......
Ye Wen watched Feng Yue's back as he left, and suddenly turned his head to look at Xiahou Tianyi on the other side of the wine table, at this time, the nobles who had originally surrounded Xiahou Tianyi reluctantly left one by one, obviously knowing that the next banquet was about to start, and it was not suitable to continue to entangle.
Ye Wen thought of another thing, according to Xiahou Tianyi's original hint, he himself belonged to Su Linglong's side, but after some communication and investigation, the information obtained was obviously contrary to the other party's statement, on the other hand, Feng Yue's attitude just now also seemed quite strange, Feng Yue still ignored Xiahou Tianyi when he knew that Xiahou Tianyi was trying to join Linglong Sect.
And Xiahou Tianyi himself seems to be entangled by idle people and can't get out, but in fact, if he really wants to get out of the entanglement, it's just a matter of a few words, although those nobles are extremely thick-skinned, they definitely don't dare to be clumsy and anger a high-powered leader.
However, he knew that Feng Yue, one of the members of the Linglong Sect, was at the same wine table, but he didn't say anything about it, not only did he not mean to be close to him, but he didn't even have the most basic greetings, and the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, treating each other as a transparent existence.
What is the reason for this?
Could this be the tacit mode of getting along with the members of the Linglong Sect? So is Xiahou Tianyi a member of the Linglong Sect now?
As soon as he thought of this, Ye Wen's mind naturally appeared Su Linglong's stunning beauty, he lowered his head and drank the wine, and his heart was constantly thinking about the strangeness, but due to the lack of information, he was basically in a state of incomprehension.
The noise around them gradually fell silent.
Ye Wen looked at the upper position of the hall, and saw that a group of people were pouring out of the temple gate on the left, surrounded by an old man wearing a noble fox fur and white hair, about sixty or seventy years old, with wrinkles on his face like mountains and rivers, and his body was a little rickety, but there was a feeling of abyss and mountains when he walked, which was unfathomable.
This feeling is not unfamiliar to Ye Wen, since he came to practice, he knows that once a monk reaches a certain level, his gestures will faintly fit the breath of heaven and earth, and naturally give birth to an aura that makes people's hearts palpitate, but based on the different experiences and characteristics of each monk, there are differences in the momentum and aura.
For example, the deputy commander was full of murderous aura like a sea of blood, for example, the commander of Xiahou was as majestic as a mountain, but the old man in front of him was completely different from the two mentioned earlier, although the breath between the walks was as deep as abyssal water, but there was no kind of incidental killing intent and battle intent, as if he was born with no trace of an axe and chisel that deliberately launched his momentum.
Facing the vicissitudes of life and the quiet eyes like a frozen lake, Ye Wen's heart was shocked, it was the first time he felt the power of his gaze so intuitively, and it seemed that he could make people intoxicated and forget his own mind, and then Ye Wen was suddenly startled, knowing that he had almost lost control of his spiritual sense just now, if such a situation appeared on the battlefield, even ten lives would not be enough.
The old man, who was surrounded by many guards, slowly walked up to the middle position above the hall under the gaze of everyone. It wasn't until the old man stood firmly there, and the guards around him stepped aside, that most of the people on the field came to their senses, and their eyes showed a look of confusion and shock.
Ye Wen glanced around, knowing that most of the people who were so drunk that they couldn't extricate themselves from the trick just now, but there were also masters who could rely on their own will and strength to break free, and those who had just come to their senses were shocked in their hearts, they couldn't understand what had just happened, why just one look could make them lose control.
Only a strong person with a high level of cultivation like Ning Gongzi can regain consciousness as soon as possible like Ye Wen, and calmly observe the surrounding situation, because of this, the moment Ye Wen glanced over, he also happened to be opposite to Ning Gongzi's gaze.
The pupils of the two of them shrank slightly at the same time, and it seemed that a spark burst out in the middle of the line of sight, but then they looked away as usual, and returned their attention to the old man in front of them.
"Quiet. ”
The old man with his hands on his back slowly walked a few steps forward, without the slightest expression on his face, with a cold and serious look, his eyes slowly swept over the banquet participants sitting below, and two words were gently spit out from his mouth, and his voice was not very loud but echoed in the hall, like a thunderclap in the hearts of everyone present.
The young nobles who had begun to be frightened and began to whisper were suddenly silent, and looked at this old man who was far above them in awe in terms of status and strength, as if they were looking up at a high mountain.
The lights were dancing silently, and there was silence in the Four Elephants Hall.
The old man said indifferently: "The old man announced that the Moon Art Banquet has officially started here, please feel free to enjoy it!"
As this sonorous voice echoed in the main hall, rows of waiters streamed in from outside the hall, each holding a jade plate full of delicacies in his hand, skillfully serving it to the wine table, and filling the empty wine bowls.
Seeing the plates of dishes in front of them brought up, and looking at the old man with a calm face, the nervous noble children in the audience suddenly relaxed, and the hall that had been silent suddenly began to have human voices, and they thought at the same time that since it was the beginning of the banquet, it could not be a dead silence like a funeral.
Thinking like this, seeing that the old man seemed to have no intention of drinking, the children of the nobles, who had always been difficult to settle down, went from whispering to letting go of the topic, and for a while the wine table was staggered, and soon the scene became noisy again.
"This old guy is the elder of the Fan family in the four major families, and he is also the master of ceremonies in charge of the Yueyi banquet, and the banquets in the past ten years have basically been supervised by this old guy. ”
Xiahou Tianyi, who sat next to Ye Wen again, knew that Ye Wen was still quite unfamiliar with the person who hosted the banquet, so he explained in a low voice.
Ye Wen was speechless for a while, and glanced at Xiahou Tianyi helplessly, thinking that you are a patrol commander level, maybe you still have a friendship with the Fan family, but you can talk nonsense, and call this obviously high-status old man an old guy?
