(Sorry, that's all for today, I'll make up tomorrow)

After entering Lujiazhuang, Guo Jing first arranged accommodation for Qiu Chuji and Yin Zhiping and his party of six. Ask them to rest first, and then have a feast in the evening.

At this time, it was about the afternoon when the card was sent, and Yin Zhiping, under the guidance of Zhuang Ding, went to the room arranged by himself, and after washing up, he also rested first. After nearly a month of continuous driving, with his current strength, although he will not be physically tired, he is still inevitably a little tired psychologically.

After resting for a few hours, when it was time to hold the lamp, Zhuang Ding invited them to the banquet.

The residences arranged by Guo Jing for Yin Zhiping and Qiu Chuji are adjacent, and they are all in the same courtyard. The six of them went out of the room, gathered again, and then followed Zhuang Ding to the front hall.

At this time, it was already night, and there were lanterns hanging inside and outside Lujiazhuang, and there were bright lights everywhere, and people were crowded everywhere. This hero's banquet is a rare event in recent decades, and more than half of the world's famous heroes and heroes attend the banquet. Although there are still three days before the official opening of the Heroes Conference on the eighth day of the lunar month, there are already many heroes from all walks of life who have rushed to Lujiazhuang and Dashengguan at this time.

The main hall, front hall, back hall, wing hall, and flower hall of Lujiazhuang are all full of tables, and a total of more than 100 seats have been opened. At this time, the banquet had not officially begun, and they were all seated in a chaotic manner, and when they met each other, they called friends and talked loudly.

There are guests who live in Lujiazhuang, each of whom walks out under the guidance of Zhuang Ding, and there are also guests who live in Dasheng Guancheng, and there are also guests who are led by Zhuang Ding and come to the village by climbing the mountain. It's the middle of winter. And after dark, the weather is even colder. But the atmosphere in Lujiazhuang was in full swing, and no one felt a trace of coldness. Not to mention these high-rollers and martial arts figures. They all come from winter practice and summer practice, but all those who have achieved martial arts have long been afraid of cold and heat.

Qiu Chuji, Hao Datong, and Sun Buer are not only of high rank and respect in today's martial arts, but also have a great influence on the rivers and lakes, and their group of six people were arranged in the seats closest to Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Qiu Chuji, Hao Datong, and Sun Buer sat at the same table with Guo Jing and Huang Rong, while Yin Zhiping, Zhao Zhijing, and Yang Guo were arranged in the second seat next to them. The six people were seated separately, but Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife had not yet taken the seats. Instead, he ran back and forth to greet a group of Jianghu characters. After the chaos was over and everyone was seated, Guo Jing and Huang Rong returned to the chairman and sat down, and then ordered someone to have a banquet.

At that moment, I saw that the Zhuang Ding were busy going back and forth, first a jar of wine was delivered, then a platter of various cold dishes had already been prepared in advance, and then a variety of hot dishes.

The chairman of Guo Jing's table and the second seat next to him, in order to take care of Qiu Chuji and Yin Zhiping, the monks did not eat meat, but they deliberately made more vegetarian dishes. There are also several jars of vegetarian wine.

After Yin Zhiping took his seat, he looked at the few people who were sitting with him, but found that there were two familiar faces present. Among them, there is Lu Youjiao, the elder of the West Road among the four elders of the beggar gang, who went down the mountain to walk the rivers and lakes the year before last. met Lu Youjiao on Dongting Lake, and also spent a few days with Li Mochou on Jun Mountain, the helmsman of the beggar gang. Lu Youjiao saw Yin Zhiping, and hurriedly got up with a smile to greet him. Meet him deacon.

Another familiar face, but he is a leading figure among the lay disciples of Shaolin Temple. Luoyang's golden knife Xiao Meng tastes Luo Yutang. When he visited the Sanlin Temple, he had a misunderstanding with the lay disciples at that time. also had a fight with Luo Yutang, and it can be regarded as not knowing each other.

When Luo Yutang saw Yin Zhiping coming, he also hurriedly got up to greet him and saluted him. Yin Zhiping also returned the courtesy to meet the two and said a few words to each other. Immediately, Lu Youjiao and Luo Yutang introduced him to several other people at the same table, and Yin Zhiping also introduced Zhao Zhijing and Yang Guo beside him to these people.

After a few people got to know each other, they sat down again.

After sitting down, Lu Youjiao smiled bitterly at Yin Zhiping and said, "Daoist Yin, you called me a cheater at the beginning. At that time, you were obviously with Li Mochou, the Chilian fairy, but you told me that it was Mo Zhiqiu, a disciple of Sun Zhenren, and I didn't know it, so I gave her a sword. ”

When they met the year before last, Lu Youjiao didn't know that Yin Zhiping was next to Li Mochou, but later Yin Zhiping disappeared, and the Quanzhen Sect sent someone to inquire about the news with him. And the news of his beggar gang is also well-informed, combined with Yin Zhiping's before and after all the way, he deduced that Yin Zhiping was followed by the famous devil on the rivers and lakes at that time, the Chilian fairy Li Mochou, not Mo Zhiqiu, a disciple of Sun Buer who he made up.

Yin Zhiping stood up and saluted: "Elder Lu, that incident is really offended, I'm sorry." But I also have no choice, then Li Mochou has too many enemies in the rivers and lakes. I'm going to take her with me openly, but I don't know how much trouble I'm going to get into. So I had to change him into a robe of the same style as my teaching, and made up a fake identity for her to hide from others. ”

Lu Youjiao smiled and said: "This matter is always called Huahua and can be ignored, then Li Mochou does have too many enemies, but you just hide it from others, but you shouldn't even hide it from me." ”

Yin Zhiping said with a smile: "This is indeed my fault, I will punish myself with three cups and confess to Elder Lu." With that, he picked up the flask containing the vegetarian wine in front of him, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all with his head raised. Seeing this, Yang Guo next to him stretched out his hand to hold the pot, and when Yin Zhiping put down the wine glass, he poured it for him again. Yin Zhiping continued to drink two cups in a row.

Lu Youjiao smiled: "Okay, but Daochang Yin is also happy." The old man should also accompany each other for three cups. ”

Then he had to take the pot and pour wine. Yang Guo was sensitive, quick-eyed, put down the sprinkling pot containing vegetarian wine in his hand, got up and grabbed the wine pot in front of Lu Youjiao, and said with a smile: "Let the juniors pour wine for Elder Lu." ”

Lu Youjiao glanced at him appreciatively, his eyes were extremely satisfied, and he turned his head to Yin Zhiping and said, "Daoist Yin has accepted a good disciple!"

Yin Zhiping smiled slightly.

Lu Youjiao poured wine under Yang Guo, and immediately drank three glasses in a row. In fact, after he learned that the so-called junior sister Mo Zhiqiu who was with Yin Zhiping at that time was Li Mochou, the fairy of Chilian, he also thought about why Yin Zhiping arranged a fake identity for Li Mochou, which was to facilitate the journey, so as not to cause trouble by knocking down Li Mochou's enemies on the road. So he didn't get angry about this matter. Now that I bring it up, it's just a complaint, and I don't mean much else. Yin Zhiping apologized for his crimes, and he didn't have any temper at all, and he was relieved.

The two of them drank three glasses at the beginning, and then everyone at this table also talked to each other and toasted.

Because it has not yet reached the first day of the Heroes Conference, the heroes and heroes from all walks of life have not yet arrived, so Guo Jing and Huang Rong did not start to talk about business at this early banquet. Guo Jing and Huang Rong didn't restrain them, they just let everyone drink happily.

Several people in the Quanzhen Sect are monks, and they are abstaining from alcohol and meat, so although vegetarian wine was prepared during the banquet, everyone did not drink much. And the intellectuals at the same table did not persuade them too much about the rules of the Quanzhen Sect.

After Yin Zhiping and a few people at the same table toasted a circle of wine, he didn't drink more, and invited a few people to poop themselves, he just lowered his head and ate the food.

After eating for a while, his heart suddenly moved, and he felt that someone was watching him. After he began to practice the first step of the "Innate Gong", so that he was able to increase his mental power, he found that the functions of his five senses had also improved. Up to now, with the growth of his mental power, his five senses have become more acute.

Sensing that someone was watching him, he turned his head with a keen sense and immediately found the person who was watching him. But I saw that the man was sitting at a table in a very remote corner, but he was also a Taoist priest, and he was about the same age as him, and he looked to be in his thirties, wearing a dark Taoist robe. But the light was slightly dim, and the man was in the corner, but for a moment he couldn't tell the difference, it seemed to be dark blue, and it seemed to be black.

The man's face was like a crown of jade, his sword eyebrows were bright, although he was staring at Yin Zhiping all the time, there was no intention of staring in his eyes, and his eyes were warm and peaceful. Seeing that Yin Zhiping suddenly turned his head to look, as if he had discovered him, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled, nodded to Yin Zhiping, and then raised the wine glass in his hand and toasted him with a glass of wine.

Yin Zhiping looked at this Taoist priest carefully from afar, and found that he did not have the slightest impression of this person in his mind, obviously he did not know him, but this Taoist priest seemed very interested in him, and also showed a friendly attitude. This made Yin Zhiping even more secretly strange in his heart, seeing that the Taoist priest gave him a glass of wine, so he also returned a glass.

Turning his head, he thought for a moment, stood up and confessed to everyone at the table, saying that he had seen an acquaintance and wanted to go over to say hello and toast a glass of wine. And they did not allow him to let him go. Yin Zhiping took a pot of vegetarian wine in front of him, took his own wine glass, and walked straight towards the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest saw Yin Zhiping coming over with a wine jug and a wine glass, smiled at him again, and got up to greet him.

Yin Zhiping smiled back, put his palms on his chest, made an inquiry with one hand, performed the Taoist salute, and said to the Taoist priest: "This Taoist friend is invited." ”

The Taoist priest also replied with a bow, saying, "Yin Daoyou is polite." ”

Yin Zhiping said with a smile: "Daoist friends know me, but I don't know Daoyou." Have we ever seen it? Don't you dare to ask the name of a fellow Daoist?"

The Taoist priest said: "You and I have never met, but I have admired Yin Daoyou's name for a long time. The poor surname is Bai, the legal name is Yu Toad, and the number is Haiqiongzi. ”

"Bai Yu Toad, Hai Qiongzi?" Yin Zhiping silently recited this person's name and Dao number in his heart, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, thinking of a person, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes a little and said in surprise: "You are Bai Yu Toad!" (To be continued.) )
