Half an hour later, the mighty team arrived at the Yue Kingdom's palace, passed through the Xuanmen, and stopped in front of the Yushan Palace.
The Imperial Palace is magnificent, with the roof paved with glazed tiles and the corners of the eaves pointing to the sky, like a bird spreading its wings, which is very majestic.
Everyone got off the carriage, stepped onto the thick jade steps, and entered the hall. The hall was bright and spacious. The cloud ceiling was made of sandalwood beams, the jade walls were decorated with gold-plated mother-of-pearl wood, and the floor was covered with a thick carpet of peonies and flowers. It was very beautiful. luxurious.
There are more than 20 redwood dragon tables in the lobby of the temple, and one table is equipped with eight carved red sandalwood chairs. There were many people in the hall. "Tailie Taoist" Li Yuanfang, Shangguan Ming and others had already arrived. The children of the Li family stood up one after another and came forward to greet Liu Yu and others to sit down.
"Junior brother Liu, sit here." Li Chen waved to Liu Yu with a smile on his face.
"Senior Brother Li, long time no see. How are you?" Liu Yu said happily as he walked a few steps quickly.
I haven’t seen him for twenty years. Li Chen is still the same as before. He is tall and tall, slightly thin, with cheeks like a horse’s face and small eyes. But he is less wretched and more steady. He is wearing the blue dragon robe of the Crown Prince and has an extraordinary bearing. .
"Junior brother Liu, you haven't changed at all, you are still like a tree facing the wind. Sit down quickly!" Li Chen said haha.
"Senior Brother Li, you are joking." Liu Yu smiled awkwardly.
"Junior brother Liu, we haven't seen each other for twenty years! You went to Gao Cang Country without telling me. It's easy to find trouble for me. You will have to punish yourself with a few drinks later." Li Chen immediately complained.
"I left in a hurry. Senior brother, you were not in Muyuanyuan at that time, and I don't know where to find you!" Liu Yu explained with a wry smile.
"Brother, I just happened to go back to Hanyang City at that time. I really can't blame you. Did Gao Cangguo and his party go well?" Li Chen said with emotion.
Li Chen went back to Hanyang City at that time. When he returned to Huang Shengzong, he learned that Liu Yu had been sent to the distant Gaocang Kingdom. He couldn't help but worry about Liu Yu. They had not been apart for twenty years.
At noon, when Li Chen discovered Liu Yu in the crowd, he was very excited. However, due to the situation at that time, he could not talk too much. Later, he was delayed due to some things he observed, otherwise he would have gone to Liu Yu to reminisce.
"The people of Gaocang are simple and simple, and they have lived quite comfortably these years." Liu Yu replied.
"Brother, why are you in Hanyang Taoist Temple and not at Huangsheng Mountain?" Liu Yu asked doubtfully. The aura of Hanyang City is thin, much worse than that of Huangsheng Mountain.
The Li family appears to be the royal family of the Yue Kingdom, but is actually one of the top ten cultivation families of Huang Shengzong, second only to the Huang family and the Xiahou family. This is because the Li family does not have a master of golden elixirs, but the Li family has hundreds of foundation-building cultivators. There are five cultivators in the late stage of foundation building who are extremely powerful.
As a direct descendant of the Li family, Li Chen has both metal and wood spiritual roots. Although his qualifications are not the most outstanding, how could he receive the sect position at Hanyang Taoist Temple?
"It's relatively close to home. My brother is getting married. I have a five-year-old girl. I'll introduce you to her when they come later." Li Chen said with a smile.
Li Chen returned to Hanyang City ten years ago. Under the arrangement of his family, he married a female cultivator from the Zhou family. He then stayed at Hanyang Taoist Temple and became a Taoist temple deacon, distributing jianyue spirit pendants to city residents of appropriate age. Now his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi training.
Li Chen stayed at Hanyang Taoist Temple not only because it was close to home, but mainly to obtain the "Huang Ling Dan" and to earn more sect contribution points. Most of the contribution points awarded for sect missions abroad were very generous.
The only drawback of the sect's external mission is that the secular spiritual energy is too thin, but for Li Chen, this is nothing to worry about. As a member of the Li family, Li Chen's spiritual stones and elixirs issued by the family were enough to sustain his daily practice and quickly improve his cultivation.
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Liu Yu congratulated sincerely.
Liu Yu was very withdrawn in the Huang Sheng Sect and didn't know many people. Li Chen was his only good friend. Unexpectedly, Li Chen, whom he had not seen for many years, was already married and had a son. Liu Yu had mixed feelings for a while.
"Junior Brother Liu, what about you! Are you alone?" Li Chen asked with a chuckle.
"Little brother, I have a wandering life." Liu Yu smiled awkwardly.
"By the way, junior brother, why did you come to Hanyang with Uncle Shangguan?" Li Chen asked doubtfully. He knew that Shangguan Ming was in charge of "Bei Luan City", and he was just passing by this time to pick up the disciples of the sect to go to "Bei Luan City". Luancheng".
"My little brother received a sect mission to go to "Bei Luan City". The journey is far away. I took the "Huoyunfeng" of Uncle Guanshi to go there. I don't want to settle in Hanyang City." Liu Yu said with a bitter smile.
"Husband," a tall woman with a beautiful face wearing a green cigarette shirt came behind Li Chen and shouted softly.
"Xue'er, you're here. This is the junior brother Liu Yu whom my husband mentioned to you." Li Chen stood up and introduced.
"I, Liu Yu, have met Madam-in-law." Liu Yu greeted her quickly.
"Junior brother Liu, my name is Zhou Qiuxue. My husband often mentions you, saying that in the sect, you were the only one who could endure his nagging." Zhou Xiaoxue covered her mouth and smiled.
"Xue'er, what are you talking about?" Li Chen said awkwardly.
"Why, you can't say it." Zhou Qiuxue glared at Li Chen.
"Junior Brother Liu, when Li Chen was in Muyuan Yuan, I heard that he was very annoying and perverted. Is this true?" Zhou Qiuxue said slyly.
Li Chen blinked quickly and winked at Liu Yu behind Zhou Qiuxue's back.
"Senior Brother Li is an upright man, but he's just a little lonely! How could there be such a rumor?" Liu Yu said against his will. Li Chen was a wretched person back then. Whenever a female cultivator passed by, he couldn't take his eyes away.
"Xue'er, after so many years, you still don't understand my husband. How can I have the courage?" Li Chen quickly defended.
"Hmph! The first time we met, your eyes almost fell out. You didn't have the guts yet," Zhou Qiuxue said with a raised brow.
"Xue'er, you were so beautiful that day." Li Chen said flatteringly.
Liu Yu chatted with Li Chen and his wife, and talked about some simple pasts of their respective years. Li Chen and his wife were very interested in Liu Yu's life experience in Yannancheng.
During the chat, Liu Yu learned that Zhou Qiuxue was also a disciple of the Huang Sheng Sect, a ninth-level Qi practitioner, and a side branch of the Zhou family of the Shang Kingdom. The Zhou family was also one of the top ten cultivation families of the Huang Sheng Sect.
There were more and more visitors to the Imperial Palace. Most of them were members of the Li family, Liu Yu and others, as well as some heads of small families in Hanyang City. The hall was abuzz with excitement.
Rows of slender palace maids in red carried trays and began to serve food. On one side, the orchestra of palace maids in white played drums, chimes, pianos, flutes, flutes and other musical instruments. The sound is like a mountain spring winding from a deep valley, flowing slowly, which is particularly moving.
Dozens of people wearing light peony skirts followed the palace ladies and slowly entered the stage in front of the lobby to the melodious sound of silk and bamboo.
The dancers' faces are veiled, their slender limbs and waists are exposed in the air. They move lightly, their arms are relaxed, their skirts are slanted, and their dancing postures are elegant and eye-catching.
"Everyone, I am deeply honored to be able to attend this banquet. On behalf of the Li family, I would like to thank you all for coming. I would like to show you my respect first!" Li Yuanfang stood up and said loudly.
"Brother Yuanfang, you're welcome!" Shangguan Ming raised his glass and said.
Liu Yu stood up with everyone, picked up the wine glass on the table, faced the main table, and drank it all in one gulp. As soon as the wine glass was put down, the maid serving behind her leaned over to add more wine.
