Lucheng.
A golden bell stands suspended in the sky.
It was gradually beginning to spread, and the wisps of light disappeared, and the diffuse golden light completely disappeared in about a quarter of an hour.
The blurred night spread and enveloped the earth again.
The raging flames on the other side of the Xijiang River have turned into ice and snow, and have become completely silent.
The war was over, and everyone successfully reunited and returned to Lucheng from the other side of the Xijiang River.
This battle was a disaster for the Xijiang Sword Sect.
Basically, 99% of the disciples who stayed behind in the sect died, and only a few survived. Now including the disciples in Lu Cheng, together, there are only more than 20 disciples who have entered the sect, but there are more registered disciples, etc. There are about a hundred or so.
If we count the disciples of the Xijiang Sword Sect who are traveling all over the world, the number of disciples who have entered the family can reach about fifty. Many of them have settled down in various places and have been passed down in the form of families.
Compared with the heyday of the Xijiang Sword Sect, when there were more than 200 disciples, it was a huge difference.
Therefore, the Xijiang Sword Sect will be rebuilt next, and at the same time, the disciples who have wandered around the world, as well as the disciples who have settled down and settled in the family, must be recalled to the Xijiang Sword Sect.
In the past, when the Xijiang Sword Sect was at its peak, there was naturally no place for them. After all, they were a carrot and a pit. Now, after the Xijiang Sword Sect was robbed, there is already a place for them to take over.
This is the foundation of the big sects. Their power is not concentrated in the sect, but scattered in all directions. For example, the Xijiang Sword Sect has a lot of power scattered in various counties in Qizhou. They use the Xijiang Sword Sect as the main body and take on their own responsibilities. node.
It is constantly expanding the influence of Xijiang Sword Sect and increasing the strength of Xijiang Sword Sect. If there are talented disciples or disciples, they will recommend to enter Xijiang Sword Sect to practice.
When the backbone is destroyed, it still has the foundation to make a comeback.
Along the way, the great elder chattered endlessly, like an old woman.
Dou Changsheng refused repeatedly. The Xijiang Sword Sect was a trap and Dou Changsheng did not want to jump in. On the contrary, Zhao Qi remained silent until he arrived behind the Zhou Mu's residence.
Only then did the Great Elder stop nagging and talk about the nonsense about the Xijiang Sword Sect.
In the hall with a simple layout, each master took his seat.
This time, including Wang Zhoumu and the Grandmaster Dou Changsheng, there were eight people in total.
The two grandmasters who were with Wang Zhoumu were also members of the imperial court, and both came from the military.
Xiao Tianming and others have already left. They came to Qizhou to investigate the case and establish their reputation as the Four Kings and Eight Dukes. They went back when the matter was over.
There are many strong men in the army. The Zhou army has always been secretive, and few outsiders can know the details.
However, these strengths are far from Lu Cheng's limit. There will definitely be no less than five grandmasters in the imperial court here, or even more, otherwise they will not be able to suppress these monsters and monsters.
After all, Lucheng is a great city in the world and can be the capital of kings in troubled times. During the Great Shang Dynasty of the previous dynasty, Lucheng was the eastern capital among the five capitals.
Nowadays, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not establish five capitals, but only one independent capital, the capital, which gathered the power of the world to support the capital. In this way, the status of Lucheng dropped a lot.
Wang Zhoumu and the two strong men in the army were all strong men in office. Other forces such as the Lord did not take action at all this time.
Dou Changsheng knew well that Wangzhoumu was worried about chaos in Lucheng and needed to leave some strength behind. At the same time, he was also worried about the local forces. These two strong men in the army were all transferred from other places, so Wangzhoumu could rest assured that they would not backstab him at the critical moment. , suddenly revealed his identity as an evil heretic from the Tianmo Sect.
We met briefly in the hall to talk about the general situation. Zhao Qi had already taken the initiative to invite him and said: "The Xijiang Sword Sect can survive this time because of your rescue."
"Now that the sky has lighted up, I am heading to Xijiang Yue Restaurant. I will host a banquet to thank you all."
Wang Zhoumu was the first to decline and said: "Today's fire not only destroyed your Xijiang Sword Sect, but also caused turmoil in Lucheng. I don't know how many evil heretics took advantage of the situation to wreak havoc in Lucheng."
"I need to clear Lucheng and then allocate funds for disaster relief. I am quite busy with official duties, so I will not go there this time."
Zhao Qi invited him several times, but Wangzhou Mudu was resolute and did not intend to go at all.
Not only Wang Zhoumu, but also the two strong men in the army. They did not want to be involved with the Xijiang Sword Sect at all. After the incident was over, they simply ignored Zhao Qi and chose to leave and return to the military camp.
Wang Zhoumu declined, but Mr. Wang did not refuse. He reached out and stroked his snow-white beard, "Master Zhao invites you, so I won't be polite."
The matter has passed, and the world will be peaceful next. Naturally, Mr. Wang plans to have a meal. This time, he is very worried. He has to have a good feast of beasts and drink some spiritual wine to calm himself down.
Wang Zhoumu frowned and looked at Mr. Wang's message and said, "Third uncle, why are you joining in the fun?"
"Didn't you teach me since I was young that I should be a steady person and avoid associating with troublesome people?"
"Now that the Xijiang Sword Sect is in trouble, there will definitely be a whirlpool of trouble. In the past, the docks controlled by the Xijiang Sword Sect and there were many shops near Xijiang. The origins of some businesses are not honest and there are many competitors."
"After the Xijiang Sword Sect was robbed, others will definitely be watching with eager eyes. The Xijiang Sword Sect can no longer defend itself."
"This banquet is fake. The real purpose is to use the reputation of the masters to intimidate all parties. Even if they fail to intimidate, it will make them hesitate and buy themselves some time."
Mr. Wang stroked his beard and replied via voice transmission: "This moment, that moment."
"We have paid such a big price tonight, how can we not eat a feast of beasts?"
"Now that I am over 180 years old, I have osteoporosis and qi and blood are declining. It is the time when I need supplements. Chef Nangong's feast of beasts not only tastes delicious, but it can also replenish qi and blood."
"If you have the ability, invite Chef Nangong to your home and feed me a feast of beasts every day for a few years to recuperate my energy and blood. Maybe the old tree will be rejuvenated, break through the bottleneck, and return to its peak."
Wang Zhoumu stopped talking and ignored his third uncle. It was extremely rare to have a feast of beasts. He had to eat every day. What a family.
Mr. Wang was not angry and took the initiative to chat with the first elder. They were about the same age, and the first elder was more talkative, but he talked more than Zhao Qi, and both of them had more words in common.
"Dou Mingzhu."
Zhao Qixiang invited everyone, and finally came to Dou Changsheng. He took the lead in bowing to Dou Changsheng and said: "I misunderstood Dou Mingzhao at that time, and I would like to apologize to Dou Mingzhao."
Zhao Qi bent his waist very low, already at an angle of 90 degrees, and thanked him sincerely: "I was so frightened at that time that I couldn't speak in a panic. Please forgive Dou Mingzhou."
Dou Changsheng took the initiative to step forward, helped Zhao Qi up and said, "Master Zhao doesn't need to mind. I understand that I was in a desperate situation at that time."
"It's all understandable."
Zhao Qi, who was taciturn and cold-faced along the way, has now recovered and has immediately transformed into the Zhao Qi that some people admire, some are afraid of, and some are afraid of in Lu Cheng.
After Zhao Qi straightened his back, he burst into tears and said, "I am really touched that Mr. Dou can forgive me."
"Tonight at Xijiangyue Restaurant, I must catch Dou Ming until he is drunk and return."
"Please rest assured Dou Mingquan, the Xijiang Sword Sect will send you a heavy gift afterwards to repay Dou Mingsu's life-saving grace and save the Xijiang Sword Sect from the fire and water."
Dou Changsheng refused repeatedly, but Zhao Qi was very enthusiastic.
The final result is.
【Ding! 】
【A friend detected! 】
[Congratulations to the host friend for +1! 】
[Zhao Qi has been added to the friend list! 】
"Let's go to Xijiangyue Restaurant."
Zhao Qi greeted everyone and went to Xijiangyue Restaurant together. He spent a lot of money to win the banished immortal room and invited Chef Nangong to a banquet of beasts. He hasn't eaten yet?
Now is the time to invite all the masters to a banquet.
After walking out of the hall, you can see many disciples of the Xijiang Sword Sect standing outside the Zhou Mu Mansion. These are all disciples of the Xijiang Sword Sect who have entered the house. They live in Lucheng, so they survived this time.
All of them were arranged by the great elder outside the Prefectural Mufu Mansion. Now this place is the safest in Lucheng. Even if a monster wants to attack the official government, it must think carefully.
After a short delay, all the disciples of the Xijiang Sword Sect gathered together, and a group of dozens of people headed to Xijiang Yue Restaurant. The Xijiang Sword Sect encountered a catastrophe and needed to cheer up.
Now that so many masters are being hosted at the banquet, the depressed mood of the Xijiang Sword Sect has also cheered up a little.
Along the way, he walked through the streets and alleys. The pomp and show in Zhao Qi's alley was not small, as if no one would see him. Especially the hearty laughter that sounded from time to time seemed to indicate the close relationship between Zhao Qi and the masters.
This scene was all seen by Dou Changsheng. Zhao Qi can serve as the head of the Xijiang Sword Sect and is respected as the Seventh Master in the world. Of course, he is not only powerful, but his rank is also not low. Now that he has recovered, he speaks every word All have a kind of magic.
It seems that every sentence comes from the sincerity, even if it is flattery, it will not make people bored.
Especially the old man's words made Mr. Wang's smile brighter and brighter, which perfectly set off the atmosphere and allowed everyone to talk freely without any embarrassment.
The presence of such a person can only mean one thing. Their level of chatting is far above yours.
A huge crowd of people arrived at the Xijiang Yue Restaurant.
Looking up at this large restaurant, which was about thirty-six stories high, standing on the ground, Dou Changsheng slowly withdrew his gaze. The last time he left, there were eyes peering at him. Even when he was on the other side of the Xijiang River, that kind of The feeling of peeping has never disappeared,
But this is not a big problem, because Dou Changsheng is so eye-catching, it is a strange thing that no one is prying.
Yue Linglong stood at the door of Xijiang Yue, staring deeply at Dou Changsheng with a pair of beautiful eyes, and violent fluctuations occurred in her heart.
That.
That god of plague.
Why are you here again?
In one day, he visited three times.
Can't stay here any longer.
Something is going to happen.
