Next to Jin'ao Island, there is another small island. Although it is not as spectacular as Jin'ao Island, it is the center of the Northern Seven Islands. The scenery on the island is just fine, but there is a lagoon in the center of the island, which is extremely clear. I don¡¯t know what year or month it is, and thousands of carps are stocked. Every cloudless night, the moon¡¯s shadow is reflected on the lake, the stars are bright, and there are carps jumping When the water comes out of the water, pearl-like water columns splash up, shining brightly under the moonlight. Sitting in the pavilion on the island by the lake and watching this wonder, it is really like a fairyland.
The name of the island is "Canglang Island", the name of the pavilion is "Yinyue Pavilion", and the name of the scenery is "Qianli Yaoye", which is one of the thirteen scenic spots in Penglai.
Cheng Jun and the others¡¯ reception banquet was held in the Yin Yue Pavilion.
The space of Yunyue Pavilion is not big, but the monks always have a way to subtly transform the space. There were nearly thirty people sitting inside the pavilion and on the terrace outside, and it was not crowded at all.
Needless to say, Cheng Jun¡¯s side has come. Everyone who is supposed to come has come. There are also many people coming over there, twice as many as here. Wang Zhongyang and Fei Zhongqing were both sitting in the crowd. Judging from the ranking, Wang Zhongyang can be ranked in the front row of these people, but Fei Zhongqing can only sit in the second row. It seems that these people are not all ranked according to their cultivation level. Fei Zhongqing's cultivation level is enough to sit in the second row. First row. Sitting at the head of the table was an older woman who still had her charm. Sitting on the table, she stared at Cheng Jun and the others with a pair of pink and phoenix triangular eyes.
Cheng Jun was sitting at the top with a smile on his face. He didn¡¯t have to be humble. When one team contacted another team, it was natural for a representative to come forward. No one else in this team had this qualification except him.
Today¡¯s banquet is called Jie Feng, but the food and wine on the table are really shabby. Except for a pot of wine on each table, which is as golden as amber, it seems to be a bit like the wine from an immortal family. The other dishes are all yellow and listless, just like the people here.
The people here are the twenty monks opposite.
Among the twenty people, except for the two or three people sitting in one row and Fei Zhongqing in the second row who was still somewhat energetic, the others were a little listless and looked like they had not woken up from their dreams. Even those who were slightly sober looked at Cheng Jun and the others with eyes that could hardly be called friendly.
The atmosphere of this banquet was not right from the beginning.
Cheng Jun has also participated in many banquets. Whether it is the Hongmen Banquet or not, the host always shows some sincerity at the beginning, or makes a toast, or arranges some singing and dancing. It is the first time that there is nothing like this time.
His palace is naturally enough for him to maintain his grace, but there are always people behind him who are unhappy. Bai Shaoqing's displeasure was written on his face. Cheng Jun also knew that he had a bad temper, so he always placed him next to Qin Yue and Guan Li, hoping that Qin Yue would persuade him, and even if he couldn't, at least Guan Li would stop him.
After drinking three glasses of wine, Bai Shaoqing went to Qin Yue's side and said, "What do you mean? Do you want to drink until the banquet is over? After all, there are about ten real people and thirty monks sitting here drinking wine together. It's boring." boring?"
Qin Yue said "hmm", glanced at the people in the first row, and said, "How can it be boring? If you observe carefully, judging from the details, it is more beautiful than any big show."
Bai Shaoqing glanced at everyone one by one and said: "Other than that I think they are all lazy and have no energy at all, I don't see any difference."
Qin Yue said: "Well, look at the leading woman and her wine pot and glass."
Bai Shaoqing looked carefully and saw that the woman was holding a set of luxurious wine sets that were glittering with gold and inlaid with jewels. She was holding them tightly with one hand, looking a little deliberate and said, "It's nothing special. I'll just watch her." Are you holding the wine glass too tight? Hey, is it because he threw the glass as a sign of victory, and the swordsmen and ax hands on both sides came out and hacked him to death with knives? "
Qin Yue almost didn't laugh out loud and said: "You also read some legendary story books or something? Not really, but it is true that they ambush a lot of killing moves. Before the banquet, the sword pavilion once turned around, and the light The mechanisms and formations are just"
Having said this, there was finally movement in the banquet over there. The leading woman stood up and said, "Junior Brother Fei, come with me and introduce me."
Fei Zhongqing stood up and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoists, this is our eldest sister of Penglai Xianzhou, Wei Zhongxiu."
Cheng Jun stood up, greeted Wei Zhongxiu who came over, and said, "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Wei, here is Cheng Jun." Wei Zhongxiu's cultivation was quite good, but he was not on the threshold of a divine king, and was not worthy of being called by Cheng Jun. She is a senior.
The Wei Zhongxiu hummed, looked at Cheng Jun carefully, and said, "I heard that you are a monk of the Fayuan Sanren lineage?" His voice was sharp and his tone was not polite.
Cheng Jun smiled and said: "That's right, I'm from overseas Lingyuan Island." Fayuan Sanren's Zhengshuo is on Lingyuan Island. Cheng Jun didn't know that the group of people didn't know, but his answers were always perfect and impossible to make mistakes.
Wei Zhongxiu said: "Did you come back this time because of the reputation of our authentic Penglai Immortal?"
Cheng Jun knew that she was talking about saving face, but he still said "Huh?" on the surface. Fei Zhongqing winked repeatedly, and Cheng Jun pretended to be stunned and said: "Yes, we are like this."
Wei Zhongxiu said: "You are very pursuing. Are all the people on your side your fellow disciples? Their cultivation level is pretty good." In fact, she has been exploring the strength of Cheng Jun's side and carefully calculated the number of real people on both sides. , then he calculated that his side was better, and then he came out to toast.
Cheng Jun said with a smile: "Yes, these are all my classmates."
Wei Zhongxiu said: "Since you are sincere and want to come to Penglai Immortal Continent to pay you a visit, we can't drive you out. It's just that no outsiders have come here for thousands of years. You can make an exception if you want. We have to make an agreement with you."
Cheng Jun knew that there must be this level, and said: "You tell me."
Wei Zhongxiu raised his eyebrows and said in a sharp voice: "The first rule is that no one is allowed in or out of our place. Once you enter here, you are a member of Penglai Wonderland. People outside have nothing to do with you. All relatives from outside will be cut off. Relationship. You are not allowed to go out without permission, let alone bring others in."
Cheng Jun said softly: "The first one is very harsh. Then we won't be able to get out in the future?"
Wei Zhongxiu said: "If you want to go out, you have to erase all the memories here. We have a selfless spring here. You can go out after taking one cup. But the medicinal name of the spring water is Ganglie. Will there be any sequelae? We don't know. I guarantee it.¡±
Cheng Jun¡¯s eyes moved and he said, ¡°Then I have no choice but to agree.¡±
Wei Zhongxiu said: "Very good. The second rule is that since you join my sect, your previous sect will not count. Naturally, you have to join first. We are all your brothers and sisters. You must be respectful and respectful." Disobedience." What she said was very powerful, but when she gestured "brother and sister", she swept past a row of lazy monks, and she obviously lost the battle.
Cheng Jun said: "Of course, I respect all fellow Taoists from the bottom of my heart."
Seeing how sensible he was, Wei Zhongxiu nodded and said: "Thirdly, the things in Penglai Wonderland originally belonged to us, but now we have to give you a share. I'm afraid it's unfair, right? You have to take out the things from outside. Come and make up for our losses." The rest of the people were listless, but when they heard Wei Zhongxiu asking for something, they immediately raised their heads, and even the few sleepy monks who were lying on the table straightened their backs temporarily.
Cheng Jun said: "That's right. It's just that the world of monasticism outside is far worse than here. I just have some superficial things. How can I show them in front of you?"
Wei Zhongxiu said: "Don't worry about it. It's my problem whether we like it or not, and it's your problem whether we give it to you or not. If you are sincere, you can give it to us all at once, and it's pointless for us to keep urging you to ask for it." ¡±
Cheng Jun glanced at the eager crowd and said with a smile: "Understood, I will send you the list later. If you need anything, you can just delete it. By then, you will definitely have everything you need."
Wei Zhongxiu said: "Very good. If you bring something, I will write your names into the Penglai Immortal Genealogy. Don't say I cheated you."
Bai Shaoqing couldn't bear it anymore and said to Qin Yue: "Since it is something that can be obtained by paying money, why do you call it an immortal genealogy? It is not as rigorous as the direct descendants of the Dao Palace. Do we care about his 'general genealogy first and then genealogy' Do you really have to spend a lot of money to buy it?"
Qin Yue shook his head slightly and said: "Don't care about these superficial things. When has Jiange ever suffered a loss? Even if trouble comes and you really have to take out some money, you will eventually get it back with interest. Bargaining is the part. It¡¯s not a big deal, let¡¯s see what we do next.¡±
I heard Wei Zhongxiu say: "Since you agreed to everything, you can enjoy the treatment of Penglai children without writing it into the immortal genealogy. Let's move to Qiji Island today." Speaking of Qiji Island, below Everyone said "Oh" and seemed to be in a bit of an uproar.
Cheng Jun muttered: "Qiji Islandbut I don't know where it is?"
Wei Zhongxiu said: "The second island of the South Six Islands is the most spacious, and it is just suitable for you to live in."
Cheng Jun said: "The Southern Six Islandshow did I hear that they belong to the demon clan"
Wei Zhongxiu interrupted: "I haven't heard anything about it. You also know that all the seven northern islands have their own owners. How can we make room for you? The six southern islands are all empty. You can live here wherever you like." Maybe. Feeling a little guilty, she said these words quickly and her tone became higher and higher.
Bai Shaoqing sneered: "The six southern islands are all occupied by the demon clan. Is this forcing us to fight to the death with the demon clan before we have a stable foothold?"
Qin Yue said: "This is the intended meaning of the question, but it doesn't matter. I'm afraid they have something wrong."
Cheng Jun suddenly smiled and said: "In other words, as long as we can live here, we can live anywhere in Nanliu Island, right?"
Fei Zhongqing said: "Of course" Before he finished speaking, Wei Zhongxiu had already grabbed theHe said: "Who said that? Only Qiji Island. The other islands are our place. Even if the aliens on the island recede, we cannot just give it to others."
Cheng Jun said: "I remember that there is Chilian Island between Qiji Island and Beiqi Island. If Chilian Island is not taken back, we will not be able to reach Qiji Island. That is to say, after we arrive at Qiji Island, Chilian Island will be It belongs to all fellow Taoists, right?"
This was clearly forcing Cheng Jun to fight for their territory. Everyone behind Cheng Jun flashed a look of anger. Wei Zhongxiu coughed and said, "Aren't you willing?"
Cheng Jun smiled and said, "Okay."
Bai Shaoqing almost jumped up, but Qin Yue held him down firmly and said, "It's not time yet."
When Wei Zhongxiu heard Cheng Jun's promise, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, let's have a drink and it will be considered a contract." He picked up the wine flask, filled it with Cheng Jun, and said, "I respect you, fellow Taoist." ." As expected, he took a drink first.
Cheng Jun picked up the wine glass and slowly raised it to his chin. Qin Yue suddenly withdrew his hand from Bai Shaoqing's arm - with a "pop!" sound, the wine glass hit the ground and shattered.
Cheng Jun's eyes were as cold as lightning and he said, "Are you guys going too far?"
