This rest lasted until night.
Everyone felt hungry.
Gu Xiaotian was okay. He ate a few peaches when he came.
Huang Shengjie is not doing well.
This day, apart from choking on a mouthful of lake water when I fell into the lake, I haven't eaten anything until now.
Huang Shengjie shouted in pain: "This wretched place, instead of entertaining us with good wine and meat, let me drink the lake water. The lake water is salty and unpleasant to drink. Maybe those shabby boatmen are still standing there." People are peeing on the shore!"
Gu Xiaotian smiled at Huang Shengjie and said, "Yes, those boatmen did pee into the lake."
Huang Shengjie quickly pretended to be vomiting, but it seemed that he really felt nauseous.
Gu Xiaotian remembered that Lao Tao had said that he would wait for him under the restaurant if nothing happened in the evening, so he might as well take Duan Peng and Huang Shengjie with him so that Lao Tao and others could meet them.
After all, in Gu Xiaotian's heart, although he couldn't beat Duan Peng, at least he could win against Huang Shengjie, and at worst it would be a 50-50 split.
Gu Xiaotian said: "Lao Tao, the boatman said he would wait for me under the restaurant in the evening. How about you go with me to meet that Lao Tao?"
Duan Peng didn't have any objections, but Huang Shengjie was worried.
Huang Shengjie said with a worried face: "Lao Gua, that boatman hasn't said a word to us since we boarded the boat. I was kind enough to get close to him, but you didn't see the look in his eyes, as if he was saying dare to say a word to me." , the end result is death.”
In Huang Shengjie's mind, these boatmen were masters of martial arts who could kill with just their eyes.
Now Lao Tao wants to treat Gu Xiaotian to a meal, even if it is not the Hongmen Banquet.
The real assessment of Ouju Haishan will only begin in ten days. If something happens at this time, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Gu Xiaotian didn't care. After all, Lao Tao had been smiling since he got on the boat. He even asked Gu Xiaotian to chat about family affairs and even gave him a peach. He didn't think this would be a Hongmen Banquet.
Duan Peng looked at the book and said: "Shengjie is worried for a reason. It is always right to be careful in everything."
Gu Xiaotian sighed, wondering when his two companions would get rid of their bad habit of being suspicious.
However, Duan Peng put away the book, "However, it is not a big deal for these boatmen to treat guests to dinner in the restaurant. I happen to be hungry too."
At this time, both of them proposed to go to dinner, and Huang Shengjie had no choice but to follow them silently, with a look of sadness still on his face.
Gu Xiaotian originally wanted to call Wen Moyin and others. He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it. He didn't know where he was going.
But Gu Xiaotian is not allowed to think about it. He believes in the strength of Wen Moyin and others. It is still difficult to make any mistakes in Oju Haishan.
When going downstairs, Gu Xiaotian said with emotion: "If we had the strength we have now, maybe we would be four people walking together now."
Duan Peng and Huang Shengjie lowered their heads and said nothing.
They knew who Gu Xiaotian was talking about.
However, it is a done deal and cannot be changed.
...
The first floor of the restaurant.
Gu Xiaotian went around and found Lao Tao and Lao Gua who were drinking at the inner table.
Gu Xiaotian stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Senior, I'm here."
Lao Tao drank the wine with a smile on her face, looked at Duan Peng and Huang Shengjie brought by Gu Xiaotian, and laughed, "Here we come, sit down quickly."
Everyone took their seats one after another.
At the dinner table, Lao Tao was actively inviting Gu Xiaotian and others to drink, and he was full of praise, "You can't drink the wine in this restaurant anywhere else, only Oju Haishan has it."
Gu Xiaotian is not good at refusing, he is not good at drinking, but he can still drink a few drinks.
As soon as the wine entered his throat, Gu Xiaotian felt comfortable all over his body. The wine seemed to have magic power and seemed to be strengthening Gu Xiaotian's energy!
This strange feeling was just like the scented tea that Xiao Chaocin let him drink when he was at Zuowang Peak.
Huang Shengjie always liked drinking. After drinking one cup after another, he immediately felt a little drunk, and he and Lao Tao stood shoulder to shoulder like two old brothers.
Lao Tao had already drank a lot before Gu Xiaotian arrived, but she was not drunk at all. She stared at Huang Shengjie's sword box thoughtfully.
Huang Shengjie also noticed Lao Tao's eyes and opened the sword box, "Old senior, what advice do you have for my sword box?"
Lao Tao asked: "Is this sword box of yours one of the best for human escape?"
"Exactly."
Lao Tao immediately smiled brightly and teased Lao Gua, who was sitting across from him without saying a word, "This boy is Yun Hanxing's apprentice and has not run away. No wonder you picked him, Lao Gua. Maybe he is avenging the sword strike of the past." .”
Lao Gua had a dish with chopsticks and a glass of wine. The expression on his face was still cold. When he heard Lao Tao teasing him like this, he put down his glass and said, "I'm not so narrow-minded. I'm just testing Yun Hanxing's disciple. She's so strong." Don't bring back a loser."
Lao Tao pointed at Lao Gua, with a smile still on his face.
See through but not expose.
Only now did Huang Shengjie understand why when he got close to Lao Gua, Lao Gua looked like he wanted to kill him. He felt that he was wiping his master's butt.
As they pushed the cups and changed the cups, everyone was already a little tipsy.
Lao Tao also sighed: "It's been years since I drank so happily."
Gu Xiaotian held the wine glass and asked: "Senior Tao, the Oju Haishan assessment will not officially start until ten days. Why are so many people here so early?"
Indeed, looking around, except for some boatmen, the rest of the people in this restaurant are young people. Judging from their attire, it is obvious that they are elite disciples of a certain sect, or some casual cultivators traveling together.
Lao Tao answered: "Ouju Haishan has always been like this. It is said that it starts in ten days, but people often arrive here half a month in advance. There are two reasons."
"First, the scenery of Oju Haishan is pleasant, and the fairy energy in Oju Haishan helps them recover their bodies, so that their daily practice will be improved to a higher level."
"Second, if you come early, you can choose to form an alliance."
Gu Xiaotian asked doubtfully: "Form an alliance?"
Lao Tao nodded, "Although a branch can stand alone, it cannot stand out in the forest."
It has been three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.
Lao Tao stood up and patted Gu Xiaotian on the shoulder, "I'm very optimistic about you, kid. Don't let me down. Before the exam starts, come and have a drink with me when you have time."
Lao Tao went to the front desk to pay the bill, said goodbye to Gu Xiaotian, and walked out of the restaurant.
Lao Gua followed Lao Tao and looked back at Huang Shengjie. Huang Shengjie also noticed the look in Lao Gua's eyes. The look in his eyes wanted to eat Huang Shengjie up on the spot, giving Huang Shengjie goosebumps all over his body.
After everyone finished eating the last bit of food on the table, they returned to the fourth floor.
Coincidentally, Wen Moyin and his party also came back.
Seeing Gu Xiaotian who was blushing after drinking, Wen Moyin stepped forward with a smile and pointed Gu Xiaotian's forehead with his finger, "Hey Gu Xiaotian, why don't you call me senior sister when you drink?"
Gu Xiaotian felt a sense of injustice in his heart, "Senior sister, I knocked on your door for a long time, but you were not here."
Wen Moyin waved his hand, "That's all, senior sister, we went to find some old friends so that we can have someone to take care of during the assessment."
As soon as Gu Xiaotian learned about the alliance, he immediately became interested and hurriedly pulled Wen Moyin and asked: "Senior sister, are these old friends you are looking for to form an alliance with us?"
Wen Moyin looked at Gu Xiaotian with interest, "Do you still know about the alliance?"
Gu Xiaotian nodded.
In fact, Wen Moyin didn't originally intend to tell Gu Xiaotian. First of all, Gu Xiaotian has been living in Taibai since he started practicing martial arts. Naturally, his friends in the world would not recognize him, so it would be in vain if he said it.
Secondly, with Gu Xiaotian's acting style and his belief that people's hearts are inherently good, don't fall into the trap of someone with bad intentions. In that case, the gain will outweigh the loss.
So Wen Moyun planned to handle these matters personally. As for bringing Shang Ziqing and others with him, it was because among these people, their realm was the highest. If others formed an alliance with them, others would feel more at ease.
If Huang Shengjie, who looks like a fool, is brought along, others may wonder when Taibai became a fool.
Wen Moyin yawned, "I'm tired today. I'll take you to meet those people tomorrow. Just remember to talk less and listen more and watch more."
After saying that, Wen Moyin turned around and entered his room. The others looked at each other in confusion, and after a brief greeting, they also returned to their room.
In the room, Gu Xiaotian and three people were crowded on the double bed, which was a little crowded.
Huang Shengjie said with lingering fear: "Lao Gua's look in his eyes makes me want to eat him up. I won't leave the house these days. Don't let that old guy sneak attack me while I'm walking on the road."
No matter how Gu Xiaotian tried to persuade him, Huang Shengjie refused to go out. In the end, Gu Xiaotian had no choice but to go with Huang Shengjie.
Duan Peng fell asleep early. He never talked much, and no one knew what he was thinking.
However, Duan Peng is really a very reliable friend.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next day, Wen Moyin patted Gu Xiaotian's door at the door of the house and asked Gu Xiaotian to follow her to get to know the people who had formed an alliance.
After Gu Xiaotian and Duan Peng got up, they freshened up briefly and then asked Huang Shengjie, who was still lying on the bed: "You really don't want to get to know the friends you have formed an alliance with?"
Huang Shengjie seemed to be still awake, or maybe he drank too much yesterday, and his head still hurts slightly. He covered his head and said, "I'm not going, you can just go."
Gu Xiaotian stopped trying to persuade him. Huang Shengjie sometimes got angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Wen Moyin was the only one outside the house. Wen Moyin was holding a meat bun that he got from somewhere in his hand and handed it to Gu Xiaotian.
After Gu Xiaotian devoured it, he thanked him.
Wen Moyin joked: "If you eat my steamed buns, why don't you come to my room at night?"
Gu Xiaotian's head shook like a rattle.
Fortunately, Wen Moyin didn't get entangled too much and turned to look at Duan Peng, "You know who the person we are forming an alliance with is, right?"
Gu Xiaotian also looked at Duan Peng. Duan Peng was drinking with Lao Tao Lao Gua downstairs with him yesterday, and Duan Peng usually stayed at home, so how could he know to form an alliance with them? Who is the person?
Duan Peng looked at Wen Moyin with surprise in his eyes, as if nothing could escape Wen Moyin's eyes.
But he still said calmly: "If your guess is correct, it should be someone from Tianxiang Valley."
Wen Moyin looked at Duan Peng with a smile, "You really know everything."
Duan Peng, however, was not pleased with himself and replied straightforwardly: "I guessed it."
Wen Moqi said he was bored. If he stayed with someone like Duan Peng for too long, he would probably die of boredom.
Wen Moyin turned around and went downstairs, followed by Gu Xiaotian and Duan Peng.
At the door of the restaurant, Wen Moyin warned again: "When you meet someone later, be sure not to talk. Those women have never seen a man, so don't try to hook you up."
