However..,
Even if it was ugly..,
It was best to go too. He was not like the Rain Master, who had been in the Hidden Cultivator Sect for hundreds of years. He was also not like the Earth Master, who had a secret mission at hand. He was also not like the Navy, who wanted to do whatever he wanted. What could they do to him? If he was no one, he would always be an exception.
If he did not want to attend, he would not attend,
In the long run..,
The others were dissatisfied and discussed spiritedly,
Even if he felt that it was nothing..,
But it was not easy for Jun Wu to do it. Therefore, he immediately agreed to Shi Qingxuan, "Okay..,
I will definitely be there. "
In a few days..,
Xie Lian tried several methods, but he could not successfully separate Qi Rong's soul from this man's body.
Qi Rong became more and more pleased. Fortunately, there was a millet who did not mind feeding his "father". Otherwise, Xie Lian really did not want to stuff anything into this mouth. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival..,
Xie Lian set up an array outside the Pu Qi Temple and locked the door,
He left Ruo Xie to continue tying up Qi Rong,
He went to the Immortal Capital to report.
Shi Yun said, "The White Jade Capital in the sky, the twelve buildings and five cities. The immortals caressed my head, tying my hair and receiving longevity. "
This was the White Jade Capital. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Immortal Capital had a new atmosphere. Other than that, Xie Lian saw many guards on the streets, corridors, and near the buildings. It was likely that after the Flower City broke in, they had increased their vigilance by several times. The banquet was set up in the open air in front of the moon. The fragrance lingered, the auspicious clouds, and the flowers were like blowing snow. One could enjoy the banquet while admiring the moon and watching the night. Admiring the moon in the human world, one would use their thumb and index finger to make a circle. The moon would at most be framed in this circle. However, admiring the moon in the Immortal Capital, the full moon was bright and white, like a huge jade screen standing not far away. It was as if one could catch up to it in a few more steps. It was a beautiful scene that could not be seen in the human world.
The leader of the banquet was naturally Jun Wu. However, how the others sat was a huge mystery. The order and position were very particular. It was impossible to sit high, and the priest himself was probably unwilling to sit low. Xie Lian did not care about this. However, he had to attend the Mid-Autumn Banquet in formal attire. In other words, it was best to dress like the statue in the human world on the day of the banquet. Xie Lian didn't have a statue of a god right now, so he was still wearing a white Daoist robe and a bamboo hat. It was unavoidably shabby, but he really didn't have any better clothes. This kind of attire was quite eye-catching, so he felt that it was better to sit a little more inconspicuous.
Unexpectedly, he had already found a random corner to sit down. When he raised his head, he saw Feng Xin walking over. Both of them hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly at each other in greeting. Feng Xin took a few steps forward, then turned back and asked, "Why are you sitting here?"
Xie Lian thought he had sat in the wrong seat, so he stood up and said, "I thought I could sit anywhere."
Feng Xin was about to speak when Xie Lian saw Shi Qingxuan waving at him from afar. At this moment, Shi Qingxuan was in a female form. Feng Xin turned around and seemed to have seen a shadow. He turned pale with fright and left hurriedly. Shi Qingxuan called out again, "Your Highness, over here!"
Wind Master was a very popular person in the Heavenly Court, so her seat was naturally very good, as it was closer to Jun Wu. With this call, many Heavenly Officials looked over. Jun Wu, who was originally resting his chin on his hand, also saw Xie Lian and nodded slightly at him. Xie Lian could only go over. Along the way, he didn't see Lang Qianqiu. It was said that in order to find Qi Rong's whereabouts, he had pushed off the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Shi Qingxuan found a seat for Xie Lian beside him. The fengshui was excellent, so Xie Lian felt that it wasn't too suitable. However, it was hard for Wind Master to refuse his kindness. She had already pressed him to sit down and said, "When the banquet is over, I'll bring you to find that child. He's a little ugly, but he's quite well-behaved. "At this point, he could only express his thanks. When he turned his head, the person sitting near the two of them was Ming Yi. He was currently playing with a jade cup, and the hand holding the cup was even whiter than the jade cup. Seeing that his complexion was fine, it seemed that the injuries he received in the Ghost City had already healed. Xie Lian said, "Lord Geomaster, I trust you have been well."
Ming Yi nodded, as if he didn't want to talk. Shi Qingxuan, on the other hand, was the complete opposite of him. He knew everyone and could even exchange a few words with people tens of thousands of miles away. Xie Lian really admired him for being able to remember the names of so many Heavenly Officials. Sitting beside him was a teenager around eighteen or nineteen years old. He had a high nose, deep eyes, and slightly curly black hair. Xie Lian didn't recognize him, and he also didn't recognize Xie Lian. The two of them looked at each other for a while, both feeling baffled. In the end, Xie Lian casually greeted him. Looking around again, he saw that Feng Xin and Mu Qing were separated by an incomparably wide distance. Sitting directly opposite him were three Heavenly Officials who were conversing with each other in an extremely familiar manner.
On the left was a black-robed civil official. He had a dignified appearance, and as he spoke, his five fingers tapped on the table rhythmically. His expression was calm and composed, and he looked strangely familiar. In the middle was Pei Ming, whom Meng Qi was already very familiar with. On the right was a white-robed young master, gently waving the paper fan in his hand. On the front of the fan, the word 'water' was written, and on the back, there were three lines of water ripples. His appearance was somewhat similar to Shi Qingxuan's, but when he looked disdainfully, he had an arrogant and frivolous attitude. He looked gentle, but his eyes clearly showed that he looked down on everyone. Other than that Shui Hengtian, who else could it be?
Xie Lian understood in his heart, "The Three Poisonous Tumors."
That black-robed civil official must be the male form with the strongest mana of the Ling Wen. As expected, he had a dignified appearance. The three of them exchanged greetings, praising and flattering each other in all sorts of ways. Shi Qingxuan could be heard repeatedly saying in a low voice, "Hypocritical, extremely hypocritical." Xie Lian, however, felt that it was rather interesting. At this moment, he saw that there was a gorgeous pavilion in front of the banquet. The four sides were covered by red curtains, and he asked, "What is that?"
Shi Qingxuan smiled and said, "Oh, you don't know, this is also a very popular game in the Heavenly Heavens. Come, come, I'll show you, it has already started! "
Just as he finished speaking, a few muffled thunder came from the sky. Jun Wu looked at the sky, poured a cup of wine, and handed it over. Hence, amidst the thunder, the Heavenly Officials at the banquet started to laugh and shout as they passed the cup of wine, saying, "Don't give it to me! Don't give it to me! "" Pass it to him! "
Just by watching others play, Xie Lian roughly understood the rules and thought to himself, 'So it's beating the drum and passing the flower.' Everyone passed the cup of wine that Jun Wu handed over to them, and they couldn't spill it. They could pass it to anyone, but they couldn't pass it back. When the thunder stopped, whoever had the wine cup in their hands could take it for fun. It was just that they didn't know what kind of fun they were going to take. This game could be said to be very unfriendly to Xie Lian. Whoever you passed the wine cup to, you would be toying with that person, so normally, you would pass it to a few people who had a good relationship with you. However, he wasn't familiar with most of the Heavenly Officials present, so how could he casually play with others? At most, he could only pass it to Master Feng, but who knew if Master Feng would be the person who passed the wine to him?
Xie Lian thought to himself, 'It's best if no one passes it to me. But maybe I'm just overthinking things. 'Before he spoke, the first round had already ended. The wine cup stopped in Pei Ming's hands as everyone expected, and it seemed that Pei Ming was already used to it. Amidst the loud cheers, he drank the wine in one gulp. The Heavenly Officials clapped their hands and shouted, "Rise! Rise! "
Amidst the cheers, the gorgeous pavilion slowly pulled up the curtains on all sides. They saw a tall general standing on the stage, walking with his head held high, looking very awe-inspiring. He didn't seem to see the Heavenly Officials below, nor did he see the strange scenery outside the pavilion. He took a few steps and started to sing, his voice getting more and more excited.
As it turned out, whenever the wine cup was passed to a Heavenly Official, the pavilion would bring up the human world's drama about that Heavenly Official and act it out for everyone to see. Because people loved to make up stories, who knew what kind of thunderous drama they would come up with, or whether they would just happen to be chosen. This game could be said to be extremely shameful and thrilling. However, this was where the fun came from. One had to know that General Pei's drama was wonderful because the female lead was different every time. Sometimes it was a fairy, sometimes it was a female demon, sometimes it was a young lady. Each female character was more beautiful than the last, and the story was more unscrupulous than the last. The Heavenly Officials watched with great interest, attentively waiting for the female character to come on stage. Sure enough, not long after, a young lady dressed in black appeared on the stage. Her voice was like an oriole, and the two sang for a while. The lyrics and music were quite provocative and bold. The more everyone looked at the two, the more they felt something was wrong. One after another, they asked, "What's the name of this play?" "Who is the woman General Pei is seducing this time?"
At this time, General Pei on the stage said, "Jie Qing — —"
Below the stage, Pei Ming and Ling Wen both spat out a mouthful of wine.
Who else could Jie Qing be? Ling Wen's real name was Nangong Jie. All the Heavenly Officials were shocked. How could these two actually have an affair?!
Ling Wen wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and said indifferently, "Don't think about it. I made it up. "
Although the two people involved were a little depressed, they were lucky enough to be thick-skinned enough. They acted like they didn't see anything on the stage. Shi Wudu, however, didn't let them off. He waved his fan and said with a smile, "This play is very interesting. What do you guys think? "
Ling Wen said, "I don't have any thoughts. This play is very old. Back then, my idol wasn't like this. It's just folklore. Think about it carefully. In folklore, as long as it's a woman, how many Old Pei hasn't seduced? "
Everyone deeply agreed. Pei Ming said, "Hey, you can't say that. In folklore, I've indeed seduced almost all of them. I really haven't. Don't accuse good people. "
Ling Wen said, "According to what you said, the folklore says that I've seduced more male Heavenly Officials, but I haven't even seduced a single one. Isn't that like sitting on pins and needles?"
Ever since Ling Wen was appointed, folklore had always said that she had seduced a Heavenly Official. This was also one of the reasons why Ling Wen's hall was cold and had no worshippers in the beginning. It was said that when the protests were fierce, she was scolded badly. People often threw dudou and menstrual cloth into her merit box. But if the male Heavenly Officials had such rumors, they were known to be dissolute and could still enjoy it. Although the circumstances were similar, the outcome was very different because of the difference between men and women.
Just as they thought about this, the next round began. Shi Wudu was still laughing just now. This time, it was his turn. The two malignant tumors beside him made a congratulatory gesture to him. "Live karma, please receive it."
Shi Wudu frowned and drank the wine. The curtain slowly rose again. Before it reached the top, two long cries came from inside.
"Wife —"
"Langjun —"
It was full of love, twists and turns, lingering. Hence, Xie Lian, who was below, saw with his own eyes that Shi Wudu and Shi Qingxuan had goosebumps all over their bodies.
Shi Qingxuan jumped up and said, "Brother —! Quickly pinch it off! "
Shi Wudu immediately shouted, "Put it down! Put it down immediately! "
He didn't need to look to know that what he had drawn this time was definitely the folklore of Master Navy and Master Wind as husband and wife. Love and hatred were always people's favorite when telling stories. It was best if there was, but it was better if there wasn't. Logically speaking, what the Heavenly Officials did themselves was the authentic legend. But sometimes, looking at what people gave them, one couldn't help but admire that this was the real legend. Once Shi Wudu spoke, the curtain really fell down. All the Heavenly Officials wanted to laugh but they didn't dare to. It was hard for them to hold it in. Xie Lian smiled and asked, "Master Wind, is there a way to lower the curtain?"
Shi Qingxuan still had lingering fears and said, "Yes, it's a small matter. Just donate 100,000 merit points!"
"…"
While Xie Lian was speechless, the third round began. This time, the thunder didn't rumble for long, and the wine cup was passed to the young man beside Xie Lian.
Seeing this result, the reaction of the Heavenly Officials was a little strange. It wasn't very enthusiastic, but it wasn't very cold either. It was as if they were interested in watching a show, but they didn't want to show it too obviously. The young man didn't seem to be interested in this game, but he still drank the wine. He put down the wine cup and the curtain was pulled up again.
There were two people standing on the stage. One was a young general with curly hair like a stone lion's mane. Although it was extremely exaggerated, it could be said that he had an imposing appearance. He should be the young Heavenly Official. The other one was a hideous clown with a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks. He was jumping around on the stage. When the young man faced him, he pretended to be serious, but he was very greasy, which made people even more disgusted. When the young man turned around, he bared his teeth behind his back and stabbed with his sword. There was no doubt that he was a despicable villain who did one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
That clown's acting was extremely exaggerated, as if it was a comedy. When the Heavenly Officials saw this, their reactions were different. Xie Lian noticed that the Heavenly Officials in the lower positions were all laughing heartily, while the Heavenly Officials in the upper positions, such as Shi Qing Xuan, Shi Wu Du, and the others, were mostly frowning and silent. They didn't find it funny. At the same time, he also noticed that the veins on the back of the young man's hand suddenly bulged. Although he couldn't understand what was being played on the stage, he could roughly guess that it was insulting another person. Moreover, even if he didn't know who it was, he still felt that this kind of arrangement made people feel extremely uncomfortable. Seeing that the young man seemed like he was about to explode, he picked up a chopstick from the table and threw it towards the rope that hung the curtain.
The chopstick, which wasn't sharp, brushed past the rope and unexpectedly cut it. The curtain fell with a crash. All the Heavenly Officials were startled and all said, "How can this be?" "What is this!" They all looked towards Xie Lian, and some even stood up. Xie Lian was about to open his mouth, but in the next moment, something exploded beside his ear. It was that young man who had crushed the white jade wine cup.
He seemed to be infuriated by this play. He threw away the broken pieces of the jade cup in his hand and jumped up onto the table. With a step, his figure shot up like an arrow and entered the pavilion through the curtain. Several Heavenly Officials rushed up to lift the red curtain, but there was already no one inside. Everyone was startled and said, "Not good, not good, His Highness Qi Ying went down to beat people again!"
Xie Lian thought, "Qi Ying? Qi Ying Palace Hall? Western Martial God Quan Yizhen? "He hurriedly asked Shi Qing Xuan," Master Feng, what's going on? What's going on with His Highness Qi Ying beating people? "
Shi Qing Xuan came back to his senses and said, "Beating people means … … beating people. Cough, you might not believe it, but Qi Ying often beats his own believers. "
"… …"
This was the first time he heard of a Heavenly Official beating his own believer. This was something that would cause the Heavenly Officials' hearts to plummet. He still wanted to ask more, but he heard a Heavenly Official say in a displeased tone, "This Quan is too insensible. Everyone is playing happily, but he doesn't know how to cooperate. Who hasn't been made fun of? Didn't General Pei and Ling Wen ZhenJun get made fun of? Besides, he's not the one being made fun of, so why are you so angry? "
"That's right, this person really thinks too highly of himself. Even if he has anger in his heart, how could he let it out at this time? It's a good banquet, who came specially to look at his face? Really … … "
"Okay, okay, a little brat is a little brat. He's already gone, without him, we can play to our heart's content. "
Hearing this, Xie Lian looked pensive. The banquet was only slightly chaotic for a while before Ling Wen seemed to have sent people down to deal with Quan Yizhen's matter. After a few Heavenly Officials appeared to pacify them for a while, the banquet and game continued. Thus, amidst the sounds of thunder, the fourth round of beating drums and passing flowers began.
