On this Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the custom, Lao Mai himself accompanied his sister and brother-in-law to drink tea and eat together after dinner, while listening to the occasional whistling fireworks outside, xs. warm colors

Naturally, if you are tired of it, there is no other program to watch, just like every day after 7 p.m., half an hour after 7 p.m., all TV remotes will fail.

In the casual chat, Ah Liu asked Lao Mai if he had seen his uncle recently, and Lao Mai remembered that because he was too busy with everything before the holiday, he didn't have time to ask Ah Liu's uncle to visit the old minister.

Lao Mai has always been a grateful person, and always remembers that the old minister took him, so he decided to go to the door before the Lantern Festival to pay a visit to his old age after returning from this outing.

The zero o'clock on the first day of the Lunar New Year is coming, under the watchful eyes of the family, Lao Mai and A Liu dismantled several rolls of round car cannons known as hundreds of thousands of heads, wrapped around three long bamboo poles, and rested on the porcelain wall outside the gate.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Lao Mai drove a small Wuling car, took the two chicks to a local product management company in the city to gather, and prepared to take the same bus to the airport in the suburbs.

Yu Mu and Sasha yawned and reluctantly got up to wash, and after getting into the car, they leaned back in their seats and dozed off again.

Last night in the town, every household was setting off a large number of firecrackers, dense, resounding the sound of cannonballs, until almost two o'clock in the middle of the night, only to subside a little, the fireworks with a whistling sound of all kinds of cupola fireworks still did not stop, every once in a while there was a bang, sometimes mixed with the loud sound of the big head cannon, so that the whole street vibrate.

The people in the town who wanted to sleep couldn't sleep until about four o'clock in the morning, when the sporadic sound of artillery fireworks finally stopped completely, and the dark night fell silent.

At a glance, it was really silent, but the person who finally fell asleep did not have a few hours later, and the sky began to light on the first day of the new year.

Lao Mai drove to the gate of the souvenir company with an independent compound and office complex, stopped, hung up his luggage backpack, and lifted the two sleepy-eyed chicks out of the car one by one.

At this time, on the side of the road where the sky was dark and few people and cars were scarce, there was already a Daewoo luxury bus, the electric door was wide open, and people drove to the company security guard one after another, handed over the car keys to the company's security guard and drove to the courtyard to park, and lined up with their families to wait for the bus.

After last year's annual meeting, most of the people in the Jinshi Sect knew Lao Mai, and the people who were waiting to get on the bus with their families saw Lao Mai pulling the two chicks over, and they all bowed their hands and said "Happy New Year to the Seventh Ancestor" or "I have seen the deputy sect master" and other compliments.

"Happy New Year, everyone, let's be courteous, I can't empty my hands," Lao Mai nodded and smiled.

The two chicks lowered their heads as if they were sleepwalking, and their long hair was scattered to cover their faces, like Lao Mai holding two "sadakos" in both hands.

Lao Mai smiled and nodded to everyone, and asked the security guard to take the car keys to park, and when everyone was polite to get out of the way, he pushed the two sleepwalking chicks into the car and put them into a three-seater, so that they leaned on each other and continued to sleep.

He put a few luggage backpacks by himself, and then sat down next to the two chicks, and looked left and right, good guys, the forty-five-seat luxury bus was almost full, and it seemed that there were more than thirty people of all kinds waiting to sit in the carriage.

Originally, there were less than ten disciples who officially went to participate in the Zhongzhou Doufa Festival, but now when I look at it, almost everyone brings their families with their mouths, and then look carefully, all of them are juniors, and most of them are teenage girls, even if there are little boys, they are under ten years old, and the big boys above junior high school no longer like to play with adults.

Almost all of the people who can cultivate to the early stage of foundation building and the Great Perfection of the Qi refining period are grandparents, and their wives and children are all middle-aged or above, so it is inconvenient for this kind of sect activity to follow, and it doesn't matter if those little granddaughters and grandchildren are there, grandpa loves his grandchildren, and by the way, he takes them to play and meet the market.

Lao Mai was looking left and right, only to see a dark figure at the car door, and two middle-aged and elderly men came in, and when they looked at it, it was Xu Zhongxian and Liu Zhongming, the nephew of the third division who had not been seen for a long time.

The aura emanating from Xu Zhongxian's body has reached the peak of the Great Perfection of Qi Training, and it seems that he is about to be able to build a foundation, but Liu Zhongming is already in the middle stage of foundation building.

The two teachers and brothers greeted Lao Mai together, and then asked Uncle Seventh to sit in the seat reserved for him behind the driver's seat.

Lao Mai didn't want to move the nest after sitting down, and he had to take care of the two chicks, so he said: "It's good to sit like this, you don't need to change seats, you can also find a seat to sit together." ”

So the brothers and sisters had no choice but to sit down in the seat opposite him to talk, and while shouting to see that everyone was there, they ordered the driver to drive.

Some high-level people went to the airport on their own, such as Mu Qingzi, who took Xiao Daotong directly from Wuxiang Taoist Temple to the airport in his Lincoln special car.

There are also a few people like Fang Zhonghua, the fourth disciple who is resident in Shenguang, who flew directly to Zhongzhou in advance to meet again, and he also has an independent mission, which is to go to the front station of the sect.

This time, Ah Guangshou did not follow the old camp, and along the way, the fifth disciple Xu Zhong was first arranging the affairs of the team.

The bus entered the large area of the airport, and Yu Mu and Sasha came to their senses, looking at the large passenger planes roaring and landing from a distance through the wide glass windows and marveling.

When they got off the train and exchanged tickets at the waiting place, the two looked up at the spacious and bright waiting hall, and felt that it was much grander than the waiting hall of the city railway station.

The flight is on the Shenzhen Airlines Boeing 737-800 passenger plane, waiting for the leisure according to Xu Zhongxian, this is a passing passenger plane, this model of passenger aircraft Lao Mei over there 98 began to be allowed to sell, 99 years before importing domestic, Shenzhen Airlines flew less than a year, is a new aircraft, is a can adapt to a variety of bad weather, a high degree of automation of the passenger aircraft.

Lao Mai only looked at stocks and Taoist doctrine on the Internet, not at the plane, nodded noncommittally after listening, he sat with Mu Qingzi, who had already arrived, surrounded several high-ranking sects, chatting and gossiping at will.

Soon after queuing up to check the door, he and Mu Qingzi got on the plane through the boarding cabin, surrounded by two disciples and a cadre.

Although Jin Shizong is not a charter plane, it also occupies nearly one-third of the seats in the cabin, and the senior management of Jin Shizong all sit in the senior cabin, and the rest of the people, including Yu Mu and Sasha, are all sitting in the ordinary cabin.

In fact, there is not much difference in the seating cabin of this aircraft, the premium cabin is located on both sides of the front two-seater, and the ordinary cabin is located on the middle and rear sides.

Yu Mu and Sasha have been mingling with a group of little girls who are in junior high and high school since they were in the waiting hall, and they no longer pester Lao Mai, and they sit in a bunch when they get on the plane, chattering about children.

Old Mai Lede didn't have to take care of them, so he chatted with Mu Qingzi about the sect's participation in the Zhongzhou Fighting Fa this time.

Xu Zhongxian has not yet advanced to build the foundation, but Fang Zhonghua is after taking the foundation building pill, he took the first step to the early stage of foundation building, and his cultivation is basically stable, Liu Zhongming recently advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, and after stable cultivation, he returned to China, ready to ask Shizun for the cultivation method of the middle stage, in addition, there are two other disciples of the sect who advanced to the early stage of foundation building.

In this way, the candidates of the Jin Shi Sect to participate in the Zhongzhou Dou Fa this time have one foundation building consummation, two foundation building stages, three foundation building stages, a total of six innate realms, plus Xu Zhongxian and other three disciples who are at the top of the Qi Cultivation Great Perfection and may break through the innate at any time, a line of nine people is enough to deal with all the situations that may arise in the Dou Fa meeting.

The Shenzhen Airlines 737 passenger plane that the Jinshi Zongmen people took arrived at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport after an hour and 40 minutes of flight from the time it took off.

In the parking lot outside the main entrance of Tianhe Airport, there are luxury buses sent by the Immortal Dao Sect to pick up and drop off visitors from various sects waiting around the clock.

Mu Qingzi and Lao Mai got off the plane and got on the bus waiting for Jin Shizong together, and went straight to the direction of Zhongzhou County.

The newly renovated asphalt road along the way is very easy to walk, but in just a few hours, the bus arrived at a small county town surrounded by mountains, shaded by green trees, and the environment is very quiet, which is Zhongzhou City, the fixed location of the Five Sects Fighting Dharma Meeting in the Inland Xiuzhen Realm.

The accompanying family members have their own Xiandao sect special personnel to entertain them for lodging, eating, and leisure, and the elites of the sect who participated in the Dharma Fighting Meeting lived together in a relatively remote villa.

Lao Mai explained a few words to Yu Mu and Sasha, and then asked them to go with the sect's family team to settle in another hotel.

He made a special trip to bring Sasha, but he was also afraid that Yu Mu would feel lonely when he was unfamiliar with his life, and now Yu Mu has been recuperating with the Five Elements Exercise for a month, and his physical fitness is much better, and his appearance is exquisite and the same as that of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school student.

She mixed with a group of little girls from the sect, and it was also very natural, and she played happily with them with Sasha, naturally she was not lonely, and Lao Mai was relieved to participate in the Dharma Fighting Meeting.

The venue of the Dharma Fighting Festival is from the backyard of the villa, out of the backyard is an artificial stone forest, through the nine bends and eighteen bends of the rock path, you will come to a double gate with copper rings, where it looks very hidden, vines are hidden at the end of the stone forest, as if embedded in a large stone mountain.

Entering the door is the stone road, the way into is the steps downward, the steps made of stone slabs go to the end, out of a stone arch, it is an oval valley with a high dome, the flat ground is paved with large bluestone slabs, there are two round stone platforms more than one meter high in the middle, dozens of meters apart from each other, there are five stands carved out from the mountain wall around, and there are steps to go up.

This is the venue of the Zhongzhou Fighting Festival, which was actually excavated in the belly of the mountain, and the stone wall is covered with dark brown moss, with mottled traces of countless years.

Mu Qingzi led the people of the Jinshi Sect to his own stand, where the table had been cleaned, and on the wide platform of the stepped type, a brand-new table and futon were placed, enough for more than a dozen people to sit.
