Chapter 122 Dragon Mother's Birthday Banquet

After that, Xin Changji didn't look at the two of them anymore, turned around and walked back to the strange rock, leaned on it and closed his eyes to fall asleep.

Qian Xiaoren curled his lips in disdain, turned his head to look at Qi Jingzhi, sized him up from head to toe, and then gave him a thumbs up and said, "Brother Lu is indeed an outstanding figure in Linshan! Xin Laosan has always had high eyes. Yu Ding, acting domineeringly, never takes people of your background seriously. Only when he can say those words, he already has a different opinion of you!"

Ignoring Qian Xiaoren, Qi Jingzhi took a deep breath, took back the smoky feather coat that was almost coming out of his body, and quietly swallowed back the air of pine, cypress, and first wood in his chest, and scattered it into his limbs and bones again. .

He seemed to be calm just now, but in fact, he had practiced Crane Crane and Wing Washing to the extreme, and could hardly bear it anymore, and was about to exhale like a howl and fight back violently.

It is true that Xin Changji's gaze concealed mystery and was so powerful that Qi Jingzhi was obviously covered by a spiritual mask, but he was still forced to move his heart and bones with all his strength. Broad artistic conception, this is worthy of stopping.

"Is that the heart shape? The power of one eye, and even this! It's no worse than the giant snake I slashed and killed in my dream!"

Recalling the towering giant who broke into the spirit mask and shook his mind violently just now, Qi Jingzhi still has lingering fears in his heart.

Qian Xiaoren said that Xin Changji looked at him differently, which is not wrong.Qi Jingzhi knew very well in his heart that the evil captain seemed to have touched the anger in his heart to fight the world through the spirit mask, so he suddenly stopped.

"If this is considered different, then it's really unique..."

Qi Jingzhi made a self-deprecating sentence, immediately sank his mind and sensed it, and saw that the angry crane in his heart had landed lightly, and it was obviously a little sluggish when it retracted its wings, but it was hard to hide its high-spirited and unyielding attitude.

Inadvertently, the lingering fear in his heart was replaced by uncontrollable excitement: "On the road of practice, the mountains are really higher than the other mountains, and all the mountains have amazing scenery! In the future, I will climb one by one, so that I will live up to it." Go around the world!
"Brother Lu, don't worry. Although Xin Changji has always been defiant, he is extremely respectful of rules, both for himself and others. Don't say that you haven't violated his taboo now, even if you accidentally violated it, as long as you haven't come out He will never dare to act presumptuously at the gate of the Jiao Mansion!"

Seeing that Qi Jingzhi remained silent for a long time, Qian Xiaoren hurriedly offered words of comfort, but what he meant was that if he left Jiao's mansion, Xin Changji would not be so easy to talk to.

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi came back to his senses, and couldn't help but smile, but through the mask of spirit, this smile looked very weird and ferocious.

Qi Jingzhi thought about it at this time, the so-called Linshan guest was just a random nonsense when he heard about the titles of Shanke and Shuibin in front of the mansion, and Xin Changji thought he was three-pointed, seven-pointed arrogant, and he didn't think so. Therefore, it has attracted the suppression of the other party, which is really a disaster.

"Huh? It's not necessarily an indiscriminate disaster..."

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but glanced at Qian Xiaoren beside him, and made a big note of this guy in his heart.

The two immediately moved forward again, and when they were far away, Qian Xiaoren looked behind him, and suddenly his voice became louder: "Brother Lu, I don't know, Xin Changji has been hated since he was a child, and he likes to be in front of his elders the most." Talking about people's merits, and always bullying the weak and fearing the strong, I don't want to become the captain of the evil spirits, and it will become even worse!"

"I guess he hid in the dark and watched today. If he can't be provoked, he will just ignore it. If he can't be provoked, he will definitely show up as he did just now, and shake his prestige as the captain of evil spirits! Brother Lu You Ping Pingli, the people who came to the door today are all guests, the host didn’t say anything, but he, an outsider, jumped out to point fingers, and I don’t know what kind of big clove garlic he is forcing!”

While talking, Qian Xiaoren led Qi Jingzhi around and around, through corridors and houses, and finally walked into an elegant gate hidden among flowers and trees.

Pointing to the simple and clean two-story wooden building in the courtyard, he proudly said: "In the past, when visitors came from the mountains, the Jiao family would always put the banquet here, and this time is no exception."

As soon as Qian Xiaoren's voice fell, a young waiter quickly came out of the small building, his face was full of joy, as if he was alive after a catastrophe, and he did not forget to lower his voice when he spoke: "Ninth Master, you are here!"

After the waiter finished speaking, he saw Qi Jingzhi's appearance clearly, and his face turned pale immediately.

At the same time, the window facing the courtyard door on the second floor was opened a crack, a huge golden vertical pupil flashed inside, and then a gentle voice sounded: "Several mountain friends, I just What are you talking about, Xiao Jiu is definitely going to come over and make trouble for us."

Qian Xiaoren is a perceptive person, immediately laughed, and waved at the young waiter loudly: "It's not the first time you have come here to serve here, why are you still so timid? Don't be afraid, there is Lord Jiu to support you today." , just go about your business with peace of mind!"

After finishing speaking, he led Qi Jingzhi into the small building, ignored the trembling male and female servants in the hall on the first floor, and went straight to the second floor.

This two-story building is not very big, and the second floor is naturally not very spacious, but because this banquet adopts the food-sharing system according to ancient rituals, only one master, eight pairs, a total of nine mats and food are placed on the floor. There is no other furniture, but it seems that the second floor is a bit empty.

As soon as he went upstairs, Qi Jingzhi felt several real eyes turning around him.

He looked back one by one calmly, and saw that the main table in the north was empty at the moment, and only half of the other eight food tables were occupied by guests.

On the left hand side of the honorable seat is the first seat, and there is a big python with golden eyes and green scales, wearing a black headband and black clothes, the upper body is straight, and the long tail is coiled very neatly, like a man sitting upright. old master.

Opposite the boa constrictor, a pitch-black horned owl half as tall as a person stood on the food table, with blue phosphorescent flames bursting out from the gaps between the black feathers on its body from time to time.

It turned its head to look at Qi Jingzhi, its eyes should have been huge, but at the moment it was sleepy and its eyes were a little blurred.

On the seat next to the big python, sat a middle-aged man in a yellow robe with scorched complexion. Apart from being much taller than ordinary people, there was no other abnormality. Feel good at first sight.

Although the person sitting opposite the middle-aged man in the yellow robe is also in human form, but his head is different, and the headless body in a tattered leather armor is sitting behind the food table, a good man with messy hair and blood stains. His head was resting on the food table, and he was looking at Qi Jingzhi with wide eyes and gritted teeth, and he didn't know what kind of deep hatred he had.

After seeing the appearance of these four people clearly, even Qi Jingzhi had expected it in his heart, but he really didn't expect that the so-called Mountain Guest Banquet would be such a wild dance of demons.

The four people sitting upstairs were naturally looking at Qi Jingzhi, their eyes intertwined, and the whole second floor was unavoidably eerily quiet.

The next moment, Qian Xiaoren suddenly took a step forward, and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiu has seen Grandpa Shengqing, Uncle Xiao, Brother Huang, and General Zuo!"

As soon as he saluted like this, the dignified atmosphere on the second floor was immediately broken.

"How many times has this old man said that we are friends of the same generation as our friends in the mountain, and you open your mouth and yell every time, it's really out of place!" Qing Mang, who was clearly the highest status, scolded, but his tone was very gentle.

It stared at Qian Xiaoren with its huge golden pupils, and said word by word: "Also, don't call me by my full name!"

As soon as the green python named Shengqing finished speaking, the Eagle Owl covered in black feathers and rising from green flames on the opposite side followed closely, saying the same word and sentence, but it sounded like strange laughter in everyone's ears. : "Little Jiu, don't ask Lao Oowle for money!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in the yellow robe with scorched skin couldn't help laughing at it, the laughter was clear and melodious.

He laughed a few times, then suddenly turned his head away, staring at Qian Xiaoren closely, with a very serious tone: "Xiao Jiu, don't make me laugh again!"

To Qi Jingzhi's ears, except for the eagle owl's words, the words of the green python and the man in the yellow robe are quite confusing.

He subconsciously looked at the last General Zuo, whose head was in a different place, but saw that although the head on the food table was still standing upright, it had no intention of opening its mouth at all, but changed the object of its glaring to Qian Xiaoren.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since you've arrived at my Qianjiu's land, everything is up to you!"

Facing the strange situation in front of him, Qian Xiaoren didn't seem surprised, instead he laughed wildly, raised his hand and pointed at the empty seat beside the man in yellow robe: "The left side is respect, brother Lu, please take a seat next to my brother Huang. .”

After finishing speaking, he himself raised his legs and walked towards the empty seat beside the left general.

"Wait!"

The man in yellow immediately stopped him, frowned and said: "They are all guests from the mountains, don't talk about these low and humble etiquette! Xiaojiu, you always make me laugh. If you sit across from me and I laugh, you may be seriously ill again. One time, when the time comes, that young man of the Xin family will make noise with me again!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Qi Jingzhi again: "This mountain friend doesn't seem like he likes to tell jokes, it's just right to sit opposite Huang!"

Qian Xiaoren, who was still full of arrogance just now, stopped, and his smile became a little embarrassing: "Brother Lu, look at this..."

Qi Jingzhi waved his hand at him indifferently, and went straight to the General Zuo who was decapitated in a different place.

"Wait!"

This time it was the eagle owl who spoke. This strange bird seemed to have finally woken up. A pair of eyes were wide open, and the green flames were also burning in the pupils, which revealed a more cruel light: "Old Huang, it is not the old man. Owl, I deliberately want to refute your face, but there must be a rule in everything!"

It turned its head to stare at Qi Jingzhi, and said with a strange smile: "Xiao Jiu was raised by some of us old fellows. Although he is inferior in seniority, we don't care. Naturally, he has a place upstairs. But you are a newcomer. What is your ugly bastard, we haven't nodded yet, although there are many vacancies here, there is no room for you!"

After the old owl had finished speaking, the green python on the opposite side spoke slowly: "Old owl speaks straight, this brother don't care. If Sheng's guess is right, your body should be a spirit soul, right?"

Qi Jing was startled, nodded immediately, and said in a muffled voice: "This seat is Linshan Lu Qiyun, the body is strong and refined, and I have seen a few brothers!"

Qian Xiaoren, who was a little embarrassed at first, couldn't help laughing when he heard that he called himself the seat, but quietly reduced his name by one word.

Qi Jingzhi's face was covered by the spirit mask, so he simply ignored this guy, pretending he didn't hear it, but the green python named Shengqing glared at Qian Xiaoren.

This big cyan python has a pair of huge golden vertical pupils, and it has an aura of calmness and prestige. Qian Xiaoren was stared at by it, and his laughter stopped abruptly.

Only then did Qing Mang look at Qi Jingzhi, nodded and said: "I see that the body of Brother Lu Duoshe is quite interesting. Although his cultivation level is not high, the breath in his body is very fresh, and there is a faint fragrance of pine and cypress. It should be from the Taoist sect A certain vein in it is just Shu Sheng's blind eyes, I really can't recognize which school or faction it comes from."

"Oh?"

The old owl on the opposite side of the green python suddenly became interested, with green fire in his eyes, he stared at Qi Jingzhi and said with a strange smile: "This is a bit interesting. The Jiao family has always been friends with the Qingxuan Taiyi sect. Today's banquet, There are a lot of those bull noses!"

At this moment, Qi Jingzhi suddenly wanted to understand why Xin Changji wanted to do something to him, and why he suddenly stopped.

In Xin Changji's eyes, Lu Qiyun, a guest from Linshan Mountain, has an inhuman appearance, and he is not a kind person at first glance, but he is still mixed with Qian Xiaorensi, so he cannot let it go.

However, after the fight, Xin Changji sensed his anger, and naturally noticed something abnormal, perhaps like this green python, and regarded him as a Taoist, so he retreated neatly.

"Brother Sheng's eyes are as sharp as a torch, and he has never made a mistake. I have always admired the old owl! But this alone is not enough to qualify this spirit to sit down." Eagle owl shook his head, his face full of disapproval .

Qing Mang was refuted, but he didn't take it as disobedience at all, and said with a light smile: "Although his body is only at the second level of cultivation, but what do you see on his waist?"

As soon as these words came out, not only the other three at the table and Qian Xiaoren, but even Qi Jingzhi himself couldn't help but look down at the red-gold short knife.

After a short silence, the man in the yellow robe spoke in a rather surprised tone: "This is... the red gold knife? How did I hear that the red gold knife fell into the hands of a young man surnamed Wei in Liaozhou in recent decades? "

Qing Mang nodded upon hearing the words: "As far as I know, the Chijin Knife is indeed temporarily kept by the Jiuzhen Wei family in Liaozhou. As for why it is in the hands of Brother Lu...you have to ask it itself!"

For a moment, the eyes of several people in the building fell on Qi Jingzhi's blue faceless strange face again.

Qi Jingzhi's heart was shocked, except himself and Qian Xiaoren who was also puzzled, it seemed that everyone in this building knew the details of the Chijin Dao, and they knew it far better than Old Wei.

He thought for a while, and immediately decided to tell the truth: "The original knife owner died in Linshan, and this knife was taken by me. Seeing what you guys mean, is there any secret behind this knife?"

Hearing his question, the mountain travelers looked at each other, but no one was willing to speak for a while.

After a few breaths, the man in yellow suddenly turned his head to look at Qing Mang: "What do you think, Brother Sheng?"

Qing Mang shook his head, and pondered: "We'd better not talk about this matter indiscriminately."

As soon as these words came out, even the most violent and surly old owl nodded silently.

The strange bird looked at Qi Jingzhi, and even his voice was a little weaker: "In that case, Brother Lu, please take a seat!"

Finally got the qualification to take a seat, but Qi Jingzhi was not half happy, but very heavy: "Old Wei, Lao Wei, I was able to have a seat at this Dragon Mother's birthday banquet because of your face, but you couldn't come in person Take a look."

He nodded, bowed his hands to everyone present, walked slowly to the seat next to General Zuo and sat down.

For some reason, there was a moment of silence during the meeting.

Suddenly, Qian Xiaoren's humble voice sounded out of nowhere, out of time, but at the right time: "Grandpa Shengqing, Uncle Xiao, Brother Huang, General Zuo, do you have any money with you?"
