Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 789

"May I ask if the four senior brothers were invited to this wedding banquet, or are they just wandering around like us when they have nothing to do?"

Zhao Xiu smiled slightly: "With our cultivation base, how could we be invited here, it's just for fun."

"It is said to be lively, but it is actually a special trip for the feast of the Liu Mansion. Otherwise, who would travel thousands of miles to come here to eat and drink, as if we have never had a banquet." Xu Yang said, looking at his appearance is very hearty People, without hiding like Zhao Xiu, directly explained the purpose of coming.

"Oh? Is there any mystery behind this banquet in the Liu residence?" Tangning asked curiously after hearing what he said.

Yu Yang looked at the three of them with a half-smile: "It's not a mystery, but it's a good opportunity to get in touch with the senior management of the headquarters. Isn't that why you are here?"

Zhang Ziqing said: "So, the head of the department and the supervisor will all attend this banquet?"

Zhao Xiu glanced at him: "Are you really ignorant or are you pretending you don't know? Haven't you attended such a wedding banquet before?"

"We have lived in the land of Qinghai for a long time, and we are ignorant and ignorant. Please enlighten me."

"Banquets like this usually have a show to add to the fun, and the outstanding ones are selected to show their strength in front of the master. There are a lot of distinguished guests, and the main figures of the various forces in the city will be there. For us, it is a show. Good opportunity, get it!"

These words are very straightforward, and the meaning in the words is obvious. Most of the people who came here to participate in the banquet in Liu's residence are disciples who have nothing to do with the bottom and have no background.

Therefore, I want to use the stage of the banquet to show my strength, squeeze out the heroes, and get the attention of the high-level.

Tang Ning asked, "Is there any precedent for this kind of thing? I mean someone who beat the crowd by using banquets to entertain the show, and was reused by the top management. Is there really such a person?"

Zhao Xiudao: "Of course there are, there are not a few of them! Otherwise, why would so many people travel thousands of miles to attend the wedding banquet? Do you think they are here to eat and drink?"

"As long as you can win the top spot, show your strength against the crowd in front of the heads of all forces in this city, add luster to the faction, and guarantee to be reused. These are unwritten rules."

"In the final analysis, the banquet is just a gimmick for us. In fact, it is more like a contest between young disciples of various forces. If you can outsmart young talents from other factions, will you not be reused by the high-level leaders of this faction?" ?"

Zhang Ziqing asked: "I don't know if there is such a precedent in this department? Is there anyone who has been reused because of this?"

Xu Yangdao: "The most recent time was more than a hundred years ago, the wedding banquet of the son of the Qianyue Sect head teacher in this city was also a big banquet. The seventh squad of the first brigade was directly transferred to the brigade directly under it.

"Since then, he has made steady progress, and even has an exclusive practice place in the spirit gathering formation. He has received many tasks, accumulated merit points, and exchanged them for corresponding infants. He was successfully promoted to Yuanying a hundred years ago."

Tangning said, "Is Uncle Xing still in the headquarters?"

"Of course he is. He is now a popular celebrity with Mr. Fang."

"I don't know what exactly is the show that Senior Brother Zhao mentioned?"

"Of course you will know when the banquet starts." Zhao Xiu finished his sentence, and saw four or five monks walking in carrying a huge black stone slab and placed it in the center of the courtyard.

The stone slab was about three feet long and one foot high. It was as smooth as jade. It looked ordinary, but it was extremely heavy.

How do you know it?Gein, the five monks carrying the stone slab are all Jindan cultivators, but judging from their appearance, they are actually very strenuous.

The five people lowered the black stone slab slowly, and there was a bang, like a castle falling down. The ground shook slightly, and the five people breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Ning noticed that since the five monks carried the stone slab here, everyone's attention was attracted by the stone slab. It seemed that this black stone slab was what Zhao Xiu called a "fun show". What does it do.

Tangning looked around. There were [-] round tables in the courtyard, and there were about [-] people sitting there.

Among them, the Taixuanzong disciples alone occupied three tables, and the others, such as the Mirror Moon Sect, Xingyue Sect, Canglang Sect, Qianjia Sect, Huayuan Sect, and Liuyun Sect each occupied a few tables.

"Senior Brother Xu, could this black door panel be the fun show you are talking about? I don't know what it is?" Zhang Ziqing asked.

"This is called a fourth-order force test board. The main material is refined from Xuanyuan stone, and the deck and sides of the Xuanling ship are also mostly refined from this stone."

"Does it do anything?"

"This thing is generally used in the sect to detect the power of magical powers. All magical powers in this sect's Sutra Pavilion are divided into several levels. The standard of differentiation is the power of magical powers. .And to detect the size of the power is to use force to test the board. The force test board is a kind of spiritual weapon, which is divided into several levels."

"That is to say, the fourth-order force test board corresponds to the strength of a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage, right?"

"more or less!"

"Why are there no Nascent Soul cultivators here? Have they been divided into another area?"

"Of course, not only the Nascent Soul cultivator and the Jindan cultivator are separated, but also the Taoist sect, the chamber of commerce, the practice family and the loose cultivator. There are only Taoist cultivators here."

"Then how to test?"

"It's very simple, put your palm on the force measuring plate, and then continuously transmit the spiritual power in your body, and you can get a corresponding value."

"Isn't it said that it is used to detect the supernatural power of spells? Don't you need to cast spells?"

"That's the second round of the competition. Three winners will be selected and brought to the main table to display what they have learned in their life. The master will reward objects according to the corresponding performance." After Xu Yang said, he saw a group of women in white clothes outside. Holding jade plates in their hands, they file in.

Not long after, vegetables, fruits, wine and food were placed on the table, and the fragrance of fragrance came from the nostrils, filling the entire courtyard.

The people of the Liu family are quite generous, with dozens of third-order spiritual food on the table, and two pots of spiritual wine per person, just for this table of wine and food, it is far more than the birthday gifts of the three of them.

"Thank you all fellow Taoists for attending the wedding banquet in our mansion in spite of your busy schedule. Today is my uncle's [-]th birthday. I hope you all come and return with great joy. Although our mansion is small, we never neglect the distinguished guests. Vegetables, fruits, wine and food , Today is not enough, everyone enjoy it." At this time, several men and women outside came to the courtyard, and a middle-aged man with big ears said first, but he was a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

After the man finished speaking, several men and women behind him came to each banquet table to toast and persuade. In an instant, the whole courtyard became active, and everyone drank and chatted happily.

"My lord, Liu Yuan, thank you fellow Taoists for coming to our residence to attend my uncle's wedding banquet. I hope you will forgive me for not taking good care of you." The middle-aged man came to Tang Ning and the others and greeted them.

Everyone got up one after another, and Zhao Xiu took the lead to say: "Senior, you are being polite. Senior Liu cares about money and righteousness. He is famous all over the world. No one in Xuantang City knows it. I have admired Senior Liu for a long time. It is a pity that I have never seen him before. Today I can see you." It is an honor for us juniors to participate in the [-]th birthday of the seniors."

"This first glass of wine is to celebrate my uncle's [-]th birthday with all of you." Liu Yuan took the wine glass from the jade plate in the hand of the maid in white behind him and drank it down in one gulp.

Everyone drank too.

"For the second glass of wine, thank you all for giving us all the noodles. You came to our wedding banquet in your busy schedule. I wish all fellow Taoists smooth sailing in your future cultivation and prosperity." Liu Yuan drank another cup and drank it all.

"The third cup of wine! Our house has prepared some gadgets. If you are interested, you can come forward to try it. If you are skilled, you can go to the uncle's banquet and show your power. The uncle will reward you a lot. "Liu Yuan drank three cups in a row, chatted for a while, then left, and went to another table to persuade him to drink.

After he left, several people took their seats. Everyone drank the spiritual wine, ate the spiritual food, and chatted.

Unconsciously, after drinking for three rounds, the setting sun was setting in the west, Liu Yuan walked to the huge black stone slab in the center, and coughed slightly: "Everyone, please be quiet, listen to me, today the house is full of high-profile guests, and the honored guests are like a cloud, making the humble house luxuriant. , On a festive day, our house is not happy, Tebuli has a test board, I dare to invite you to have a try, it is the intention of making friends through martial arts."

"Those who have the skills to overwhelm the heroes can show their power in front of my uncle. My house will reward me a lot. I don't know which fellow Taoist will come to try first."

The voice resounded throughout the courtyard and was clearly heard by everyone.

All of a sudden, the courtyard was silent, and no one spoke.

After a while, at the banquet table on the left, a burly man dressed in Xingyuezong's costume slowly got up, walked to the stone slab in the center of the courtyard, and said to everyone, "Xingyuezong Duan Shiping, you have made a fool of yourself."

"Fellow Daoist Duan dares to be the first in the world, this kind of spirit is enough to stand out from the crowd, please." Liu Yuan said with a smile on his face, flattering Duan Shiping and at the same time secretly stomping on everyone present, obviously to provoke them. At the same time, the maid next to him nodded A stick of incense.

Duan Shiping put his hands on the stone slab, but he saw a faint light on the slate, and a huge cylindrical symbol appeared on it, divided into ten grids, and the white gas in the cylinder was slowly increasing.

As the spiritual power in his body continuously poured into the stone slab, the black slate slab became more and more radiant, and the white gas inside the cylinder also rose higher and higher.

As time went by, the black stone slab covered by his hands turned red and spread to the surroundings. After burning an incense stick, Duan Shiping was already slightly out of breath.

"It's time for a stick of incense, Fellow Daoist Duan, you can stop now." Liu Yuan said.

Duan Shiping left the stone slab with his hands, and exhaled slightly. At this time, nearly half of the entire slate has turned red, and the white gas in the cylindrical symbol that emerged on the slate has also crossed two grids.

After Duan Zhengping's palms left the stone slab, the light emitted by the slate quickly dimmed, the crimson color disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the white gas marked by the cylinder on it also disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Is there any fellow Taoist who is willing to come up and have a try?" Liu Yuan looked at the crowd and said.
