There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 178 Banquet for Ziluan (please subscribe)

Jinhuai Fucheng.

In the private room on the top floor of Fuqing Restaurant on the same street as Daozang Hall, two well-dressed waiters were carefully cleaning the hard-to-find dust everywhere in the private room. The order given by the shopkeeper in the morning was to make this private room invisible. A speck of dust.

Outside the box is a circular corridor built around the wall on the third floor. The rows of red-painted windows are all open. The sea breeze is strong, but the open windows do not move at all. The bright sunlight falls on the thick red carpet on the ground, and there is no trace of it. A little dust.

Several young men carefully carried pots of spring orchids that bloomed in early spring and placed them on both sides of the carpet. They carried clean white towels with them. If they accidentally soiled the place, they had to wipe it clean immediately.

After placing the flowerpots, the servants would hide the white towels in their pockets and head downstairs with their heads lowered.

There were only a few people in the hall, which was usually crowded with people, because someone had booked the restaurant today. The waiters in the restaurant were standing on the edge waiting for orders. The best seats were for those in Taoist robes. monk.

The leader is clearly Wang Ping. He is standing in the center of the hall. Liu Zixiu and Xingshan are at the door. There are also some inner disciples outside to act as facades and to stop some unreasonable guests.

Three days ago, Wang Ping officially sent an invitation to Zi Luan. He received a reply yesterday. He sent another invitation this morning and is now waiting for a reply.

At four quarters, an inner disciple quickly ran through the gate and handed the reply in his hand to Liu Zixiu. Liu Zixiu turned around and walked to Wang Ping to hand out the reply.

After Wang Ping picked it up and read it carefully, he took out another post he had written in advance and handed it to Liu Zixiu, saying, "You will send this invitation in person."

"it is good!"

Liu Zixiu got the invitation and walked out, and then came back less than a quarter of an hour later. At a quarter past noon, another reply was sent from the other side. This time, there was no need to post again because the guests had already left.

After Wang Ping got the post and read it, he walked to the door of the restaurant in person. From a distance, he saw Zi Luan wearing a blue Taoist robe and walking towards the restaurant with a smile. He quickly led Liu Zixiu and Xingshan walk over.

"Taoist Master Ziluan." Wang Ping first bowed with his fists clasped.

"Taoist Priest Changqing is very polite."

After some polite remarks and introductions, the group of people walked to the door of the restaurant and entered the restaurant. Wang Ping stood sideways to the side. Zi Luan was not polite, and stood boldly in the middle of the crowd. Surrounded by the group of people, Go to the private room on the third floor.

Only Wang Ping, Zi Luan, Liu Zixiu and Xing Shan entered the box, while the other inner disciples could only wait outside.

The dining table in the middle of the box was removed because none of them had a big appetite. The table was replaced with a chessboard. The gentle spring sunshine outside the window happened to fall on the chessboard at the moment, giving the room an otherworldly feel. Feel.

"I remember that this building was just built when I was first promoted to the second realm. I was here at that time, drinking tea and chatting with Xiu Yu, talking about our future and past."

Zi Luan sat down due north, acting like a master, and invited Wang Ping to sit down as well.

After Wang Ping sat down, he continued: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, a dynasty changes. Most of the friends around me have left, and some have become enemies."

He stared into Wang Ping's eyes, "Will we become enemies in the future? Or one day you will leave first. Of course, it is also possible that I will leave first."

Wang Ping kept calm after hearing this and said with a smile: "Will the Taoist priest be hesitant at this moment because of the uncertain future?"

"of course not!"

"I do not know either…"

"very good."

Zi Luan made an invitation, "Want to play another game?" and then motioned for Wang Ping to go first.

Wang Ping didn't show any politeness and naturally fell down.

After half an hour...

When the chess game entered an anxious state, Wang Ping said with a smile: "The current situation in the world is also like this chess game."

"Yes, and neither."

Zi Luan responded with a smile: "Our chess is in a confrontation, but the chess board in the world can be changed artificially. It just depends on whether the person playing the chess is willing." After he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Wang Ping's initiative. Said: "It depends on whether you can make up your mind, fellow Taoist."

Wang Ping immediately raised his hands and said, "I am willing to serve the Lord and the Taoist Master."

Zi Luan was not too surprised. He said the word "good" and then gently dropped a piece. At this time, Liu Zixiu and Xing Shan, who were watching the chess game next to them, also bowed to each other.

"Good chess."

Wang Ping also dropped a piece after praising him.

"My chess skills are definitely not as good as Mr. Zixiu's. I heard that even the national players are no match for you." Zi Luan looked at Liu Zixiu and said.

"Taoist Priest is joking, what we are cultivating is to join the world. A person who joins the world is in the game, how can he be the opponent of the person playing chess." Liu Zixiu bowed humbly.

"Mr. is humble."

Zi Luan fell down again, but his eyes fell on Wang Ping.

Then there was the "click" sound of chess pieces falling one after another. Wang Ping tried his best to follow Zi Luan's thoughts.

Two quarters of an hour later, Wang Ping threw down two chess pieces and admitted defeat.

Xingshan beside him immediately served tea to the two of them. Zi Luan picked up the tea cup with a smile and said with a smile: "It has been decades since I had anyone to play chess with me."

Wang Ping suggested with a smile: "Shangyang Mountain has been almost restored over the years. If we have time another day, we can go to Shangyang Mountain to play a game of chess. I heard students from the academy at the foot of the mountain say that if you sit on Shangyang Mountain, your chess skills will be much better." , because no one dares to live up to the beauty of the mountain.”

"Shangyang Mountain... I went there when I first became successful in Qi training. I have been busy since then, but I have no time, and my memory is a bit blurry."

Zi Luan fell into short memories...

The two chatted like this, slowly increasing their trust in each other. Their topics continued, allowing each other's humanity to stabilize.

When the sound of the three-quarter time came from the street, Wang Ping looked at Liu Zixiu and Xingshan beside him and said, "You guys go down first."

"Yes!"

The two of them resigned.

When they walked out, Wang Ping smiled and said, "I have something important here."

Zi Luan became interested, pointed at the chessboard and said, "Let's talk about it while we're at it."

"it is good!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Ping made it clear about his acquisition of extraterrestrial monsters and the First Sect. He told the truth about everything except the party. In the end, he did not try to be smart and said what to do. He just asked how to do it. Get the two second-level monks from the first sect.

"I know Mr. and Mrs. Lu Wen, how did the things in their hands contact you?" Zi Luan asked this question first after listening. It seemed that the two second-level monks of the First Sect were nothing to him.

"The invitation was sent." Wang Ping said this answer smoothly.

"I almost forgot, fellow Daoist, you are the richest man in the four southern districts, and now you are also the inspector of Daozang Palace." Zi Luan suddenly realized.

After saying that, he paused and said with a smile: "The best way to deal with your matter is to talk to the two monks of the First Sect and see if we can reach a good deal. If they are willing to pay a high price, we can buy it back. Let this be over."

Wang Ping pondered for a few breaths, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Fellow Taoist Lu Wen once wanted to negotiate with them, but all ended in failure!"

"Yes, they are more stubborn than the old bastards from the Zhenyang Sect..." Zi Luan followed up and said: "Now, what the Lord wants is peace in the world, and a peaceful world must be maintained, and the bad places must be maintained. , and the lunatic on the first day was obviously broken, so using lunatic to deal with Old Antique is a perfect match."
