Whether it was Xu Huaigu or Yu Qin, although they had long wanted to see each other, they did not expect that the meeting would be so hasty.
Xu Huaigu couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed in his heart. He should have thought of it a long time ago. Yu Qin was also a disciple of the Fuyao Sect and might have attended on behalf of the Fuyao Sect. If he had asked Lin Cangyang in advance, this would not have happened.
When Xu Huaigu saw Yu Qin, he was surprised first, and then happy. Long time no see. It had been two and a half almost three years since the last time we saw each other in Fuyao Sect. Xu Huaigu remembered it clearly.
What's more, during this separation, Xu Huaigu experienced life and death, but fortunately came back from the dead. Under the ups and downs, the relationship between the two became more and more precious.
When he saw her at this time, Xu Huaigu just wanted to rush up to hug her and talk about what he had experienced over the years. Yu Qin also had countless questions in her heart that she wanted Xu Huaigu to answer.
It's just that now at the banquet, with hundreds of monks watching around, the two people's looks at each other from a distance have attracted the attention of many people, let alone hugging each other.
Xu Huaigu is not a very generous person emotionally, and Yu Qin's temperament is also petty and shy. The two of them cannot be unrestrained in this kind of situation.
Besides, there were many people at the scene who didn't know the relationship between them. If they did that, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble.
Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin only looked at each other, but it seemed as if the atmosphere around them had suddenly changed in a thousand years.
Yin Zizhi looked at Li Zi, his eyes uncertain, unable to tell whether it was good or bad; Li Zi glanced at Yu Qin in confusion, and then looked at Xu Huaigu; Lin Cangyang was keenly aware of the eye contact between them, and frowned slightly for a moment, as if in his heart What was she thinking about? Fan Xuan also saw Xu Huaigu, her expression was still indifferent, and she didn't know if her heart was the same as her face.
Those who were interested had already noticed the subtle changes in the atmosphere in the field, and some even slightly raised the corners of their mouths, waiting for a good show, but all this was interrupted by a heroic laugh.
"Hahahaha, Brother Xu, why are you here too! What a coincidence!" This sound was like a morning bell waking someone up from their sleep. Xu Huaigu suddenly woke up and quickly turned to look at the place where the sound came from. Everyone also looked at it.
But he saw that the person laughing loudly was a young swordsman, about twenty years old, sitting in a seat in the middle and above the first-class sect.
He was smiling happily, not caring about the looks of the people around him. When Xu Huaigu saw him, he couldn't help but smile and replied: "Li Siqing? Why are you here?" It turned out that this young swordsman was Li Siqing from Qingfeng Valley.
It is said that he received the inheritance from Taoist Huanglong and entered the direct lineage of Qingfeng Valley. In recent years, his cultivation has improved and he has broken through one realm above the six realms and is already a monk in the seventh realm.
There is a woman sitting next to him. That woman Xu Huaigu has also seen. She is also the direct descendant of Qingfeng Valley, named An Xiaoyu. When Xu Huaigu saw her, she was already in the sixth realm. Now she is still the same as before. In six realms.
"Qingfeng Valley was invited, and I was the first one to come forward. As you know, I made up my mind to fight the demon clan to the end, and now I have fulfilled my promise." After smiling, Li Siqing frowned and said,
"But it's strange. I remember that a few months ago, the sect master received a letter from Liu Waner from China, saying that you died, which made our sect master very sad. I have always felt sorry for you. Especially Liu Waner, she I was almost heartbroken, and I said..."
"Stop it first!" Seeing that Li Siqing was speaking freely, Xu Huaigu sent a message to him in Busy Heart Lake,
"It's better to talk about these personal matters in private, and don't mention them in front of so many people." But the words are like water being poured out. The speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention. As soon as Liu Waner's three words are spoken, it is like the tip of a needle. It penetrated into the hearts of some people.
Li Zi was the first to frown and looked at Xu Huaigu with a scrutinizing look; Yu Qin also lowered his head and frowned, biting his lower lip gently.
"Woo" made a small sound. Xu Huaigu scolded Li Siqing in his heart. Li Siqing just thought that he was an innocent person with an innocent face. An Xiaoyu beside him sneered and shook his head.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue was becoming more and more chaotic, Lin Cangyang, as the host, stood up and said: "You Taoist priests know each other on weekdays, so naturally you can't help but reminisce about old friendships when you meet. However, the purpose of this banquet is to discuss jointly fighting against demons. Regarding the tribal army, please be patient. We will discuss business matters at the banquet, and there will be more time in the future. You can get together by yourself to discuss private matters." Everyone nodded in agreement, and Lin Cangyang turned to Xu Huaigu and said: "Then please Mr. Xu as soon as possible Take a seat." Xu Huaigu hurriedly agreed and sat in the front row with Li Zi, surrounded by disciples from the three first-class sects.
On the stage, a maid handed Lin Cangyang a booklet. Lin Cangyang unfolded the booklet and said, "All the Taoist priests have arrived on time. Now let me read out the names of each sect and the monks present as a token of appreciation. For the purpose of understanding.”
"Fuyao Sect, Yin Zishi, Li Zi; Zixia Sect, Fan Xuan, He Renxin; Xingyue Sect, Xia Ying, Guan Songhai; Ye Xiu, Xu Huaigu..." As soon as the word Ye Xiu came out, there was a sudden sigh.
Some people were unconvinced and whispered: "I thought he had some origins to be able to sit side by side with the three major sects at the front, but I didn't expect him to be an unknown wild cultivator! How do we arrange this seat? Our sect Are the disciples of the sect inferior to wild cultivators?"
"Hey, brother, what you said is wrong. You only heard the word "Ye Xiu" in front of you, but you didn't hear his name? Xu Huaigu, this is our natural sword fetus from East Fuyao Continent!"
"It's actually him? Isn't it said that there are only seven people born with swords in the whole Central Territory? No wonder the princess attaches so much importance to him. He has learned a lot today." There were good and bad comments, and Xu Huaigu didn't care whether he heard them or not. , just sitting upright, his expression unchanged.
Lin Cangyang coughed twice, suppressed the commotion, and continued to read: "Taihua Mountain, Li Zi." As soon as the three words "Taihua Mountain" came out, the sighs that had just been subdued immediately started again, and they were louder than Xu Huaigu's. .
Especially the two people from the Zixia Sect, Fan Xuan and He Renxin, who were sitting in the front row, immediately looked at Li Zi, frowning, and their eyes were not friendly. Taihuashan and the Zixia Sect have always had an enmity. This is a match. There is an old story about the so-called Dao Unification, but it has been a long time ago and Xu Huaigu does not know the specific details.
He only knew that Cui Ku had even pursued and killed Sun Xiang because of this incident. From this, he knew that the grievances between the two sects were by no means trivial.
Now it is indeed not appropriate for Lin Cangyang to pronounce the three words Taihua Mountain in front of the Zixia Sect. In addition to the Zixia Sect, other sects in East Fuyao Continent also have serious opinions about Mount Taihua, mainly because Mount Taihua is the largest sect in Central China.
The monks present in the East Fuyao Continent all know that the major sects in the Middle-earth have reached an agreement and want to throw away the East Fuyao Continent as a discarded child. Under such circumstances, the monks in the East Fuyao Continent unite together and report to the group. To keep warm, everyone still has a lot of grievances against those in Middle-earth.
"Oh, I wonder who is sitting in front of you. It turns out to be someone from Taihua Mountain. What they say about the Taoist Holy Land is just a group of people who are as timid as mice. They only dare to hide far away in the middle of the earth, but I haven't seen anything sent out. Is the great monk coming to join the battle?"
"That's right, what's the use of sending a junior here? I don't dare to look at my cultivation. How can I pretend to be so pretentious!" Li Zi couldn't bear the sect being humiliated the most. When he heard this, he immediately frowned and patted the table. About to have an attack.
When Xu Huaigu saw it, he hurriedly grabbed her and advised her: "Ignore them. Those are just idle people who like to talk. There is no need to violate my common understanding with them. You and I just go to the battlefield and have nothing to do with them." Li Zi remained the same. Unable to get angry, Xu Huaigu persuaded him a few more times before calming down.
But when this scene fell into the eyes of everyone, Yu Qin felt even more aggrieved, and Yin Zashi frowned even deeper.
Lin Cangyang continued to read the names on the book, and now the scene gradually became more orderly. After a while, after reading the names of the monks present, she began to introduce the two people around her: "After introducing the names of the Taoist priests, please allow me to introduce them. Check out the two gentlemen next to me."
"The gentleman on my left is named Ling Li. He was the previous national advisor of Dayu Kingdom and was good at strategy. He and I will go to the battlefield with you to supervise the army. The gentleman on my right is named Lu Zijin, a military strategist from Xuanwu Mountain in Central China, is also a monk in the Nine Realms. He was born in the East Fuyao Continent, so he volunteered to come from Central China to fight against the demon clan. He is currently General Zuo of the Dayu Kingdom's border army, commanding Two million frontier troops. You will join General Lu and form an independent military camp, which will be directly dispatched and dispatched by him." No one had any objection, Lu Zijin stroked his beard, followed Lin Cangyang's wishes, and said solemnly : "You are all the pillars of our East Fuyao Continent. Now that East Fuyao Continent is suffering from an unprecedented disaster, it is my honor, Lu Zijin, that you are willing to do your part and let me take care of it. I hereby promise that I will definitely treat you all." I will try my best to develop my talents so that everyone can find their place, and I will try to ensure your safety as much as possible, but I still want to remind you that the battlefield is no child's play. Now that you are on the battlefield, you must be prepared to sacrifice."
"After this banquet is over, I will prepare a military merit book for everyone present, recording the number and level of monsters you have killed. I must emphasize that when you enter the military camp, you are the people of the border army, and they will not be controlled by the clan. The level of the sect depends only on how many monsters you killed and how many big monsters you have in the military merit book! All your military achievements will be recorded in the record. When you return to your own sect, this will be a supreme honor! Moreover, I just saw that you are still prejudiced against each other's sects. I would like to advise you that you should put aside all the previous grievances for the time being. If you are angry, you can attack the monster clan in the south. Don't target ourselves. Compatriots!" After Lu Zijin spoke from the bottom of his heart, everyone was infected and nodded in agreement.
Seeing the great atmosphere in the venue, Lin Cangyang couldn't help but beam with joy and said: "Since you are so cooperative, I must show our Dayu country's gratitude and respect to you. Come, serve wine and tea, let's have a drink together!" The maid They walked out from the side door, tea and wine were brought to them, and the servants brought exquisite dishes, which were displayed in front of everyone's table.
An Xiaoyu took the wine and shook her head with a smile: "This Princess Cangyang is also funny. She actually treated us as ordinary guests to the banquet. Who knows that monks don't usually eat?" Li Siqing was happy to have wine. After eating the food, he said with a smile: "Senior Sister An, you are too noble. Free food and drinks are not good? It is better than spending money in a restaurant. If you don't eat, I will eat for you." Then, he picked up the chopsticks and went to An Xiaoyu's table to pick up the food.
An Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him, held a chopstick between her two fingers, and hit his palm hard. The pain made Li Siqing cry out, and then she smiled proudly and gave up.
Li Siqing screamed in pain, glanced at An Xiaoyu twice, but felt happy in her heart. Unexpectedly, Senior Sister An, who had only dared to look far away and was as cold as an iceberg, would actually have such a fun side after getting to know each other, but she had a different charm, which made him feel a little itchy.
In the past few years, the Taoist companion he had been longing for was still nowhere to be found. Although An Xiaoyu beside him was very good, with a high level of cultivation and a beautiful person, deep down in Li Siqing's heart, he had already Hiding someone quietly.
At Huanglong Temple back then, there was not only a sword cultivator who was as innocent as a deer in the forest, but also a swordsman who dared to face the female ghost of the Seventh Realm alone with a sword.
She said her surname was Zuoqiu, and she was later punished by the sect leader to face the wall and think about it for three months, so that she and Xu Huaigu left together, and she was never able to see her again.
Years have passed, how is she doing? After the banquet, be sure to ask Xu Huaigu about her whereabouts.
In February, the heavy frost killed the peaches and plums, and they were no longer seen. The green jade tiles and the pink beauties were gone. Li Siqing was drinking wine at this time, thinking about his old friends. Who would have expected that the person in his heart would also become one of the piles of bones on the road.
