From Chapter Seven of Xuanjun

Chapter 65 The Night Banquet
Fenghua Building.

The five-storey building rises from the ground, with carved railings and jade bricks. In terms of magnificence, it is not inferior to the homes of nobles.

As soon as Shen Yi and the other two arrived at Fenghua Building, they were led into the building by a slave, and went up to the top floor.

There are no other guests on each floor along the way, only guards standing one after another wearing armor and sabers. The standard leather armor of that color proves their status as city guards.

When we arrived at the hall on the top floor, we saw that the tables and seats had been prepared, and a young man in white robes was sitting on the main seat, with a smile on his face and an elegant expression.

This person is the grandson of the sword god. He was weak and sick and unable to practice martial arts, but he has made rapid progress. It took only three years to reach the fifth "Sword" Baichou on the list.

Its name is "Sorrow", but there is no sorrow in his brows and eyes. There is humility on Fengshen's handsome face. Seeing Shen Yi and Wu Yin coming, Bai Shou immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said, "You two... ·The three of you are willing to come to the banquet, it is indeed Bai's luck, please sit down."

As soon as he stood up, a long sword with a wooden sheath on his waist came into view.

The scabbard is made of wood, with dragon patterns and cloud seals carved on it, and the hilt is made of purple sand and copper, with a low and solemn feeling.

The name of this sword is "Jinghong", it is the sword of "Sword God" Mo Wentian when he was young, and it was passed to Baichou after he formally started practicing.

Seeing that he was also treated as a guest, senior brother Hu happily pulled the corner of Shen Yi's clothes with his paws, and said in a low voice, "Brother, this benefactor Bai is a good person."

"Your good man is worthless."

Shen Yi replied in a low voice, and looked at the others calmly.

Apart from Baichou, there are three other people at the banquet at the moment.

"Ms. Rong Bai introduced to the three of you. This one is brother Chen Chenyun from the Tianhe Sword Sect."

Baichou stretched out her hand and introduced to the young master who was wearing a light silver brocade robe, a silver crown on his head, and a jade flute in his hand.

"This one is Zhou Xiaotong, the son of Mr. Zhou, the county lieutenant."

Dressed in a Confucian uniform, dressed as a scholar, but with a long sword on his waist, the young master casually bowed his fists, looking quite contemptuous.

His appearance also let Shen Yi know why the soldiers of the city defense battalion appeared here.

As for another court figure in the county, Shangguan Ming, the son of the late governor Shangguan Pei, did not come here.Shangguan Pei had just had his funeral, and if Shangguan Ming dared to go to the Fenghua Building for the banquet, gossip about a dutiful son would probably spread in tomorrow's county.

"And this one is the young master of the Dajiang Gang, Brother Xiong Tuxiong."

Xiongtu stood up and clasped his fists.

Jiange, Dajiang Gang, Tianhe Sword Sect, well, the three parties who jumped at Linglong Tiesha all came together.

In addition to the son of Zhou Ziwu, the county lieutenant, the banquet at Fenghualou was a Hongmen banquet no matter what.

"There is one more..."

Baichou wanted to introduce again, a figure hurried into the hall, said with a smile, "Sorry, I'm late. Taishilou Lei Dazhuang, I've seen you all."

Lei Dazhuang, an old acquaintance, clasped his fists and bowed to everyone, expressing embarrassment all the time.

"I don't need to make any more introductions, I'm already acquainted with Master Wu Wang."

Lei Dazhuang walked to the seat next to Shen Yi and sat down, looking familiar.

His arrival eased the tense atmosphere and did not allow the banquet to develop directly into the Hongmen Banquet.

However, Shen Yi knew that although Lei Dazhuang was not considered an accomplice of the others, his position was biased.

From the secret book obtained from the corpse of the middle-aged scribe, it can be seen that Taishilou has been paying close attention to the big and small things in the Jianghu. It may be the eyes and ears of Emperor Daxuan to monitor the world.

After Lei Dazhuang arrived, there was no one else in the hall except the servants who were serving at the side.The soldiers of the patrol battalion were all guarding outside the hall, and the older masters from all sides did not appear.

At least, as Kong Kong said before, Wan Shanliu from the Dajiang gang who was so angry that he wanted to beat him up on the spot was not there.

I just don't know if Baichou, Lei Dazhuang, and Shen Chenyun of the Hejian Sect have any elders to protect the way that day.

The food and wine are served together, all vegetarian, and the exquisite dishes make the big tiger salivate.

"Everyone, let's talk while eating."

From ancient times to the present, the wine table culture can be said to be unique in the East, even in this different world, it has not ceased in ancient times.Baichou was the first to move his chopsticks, and said to everyone.

"Brother, can I eat it?" Brother Hu asked Shen Yi immediately.

"Eat."

Shen Yi smiled, "Anyway, we're just here for a formality."

The thoughts of Baichou and others are nothing more than those few points.

One, meet Lin Feng.

Second, let the three factions who are under house arrest be released from prison early.

Three, it is natural to find the two people who committed murder in the county today - Tian Tian Wu Di and Faceless Sword Demon.

For the above three points, Shen Yi said that they were all dreaming, and it was absolutely impossible to agree without a reason.To put it bluntly, this night banquet is just a feast of wrangling, and there will be no result in the end.

Shen Yi and the big tiger just eat and drink, and give Wucai a strong reputation at critical moments, and the rest depends on Wucai's performance.

Brother Hu heard the words, and immediately lowered his head and ate without any hesitation.

It's behavior immediately made Zhou Xiaotong who was sitting across from him change his face, obviously seeing the other party's perfunctory intention.

He picked up the chopsticks and touched Su Zhai, then put it down directly, and said with a sneer: "It's really rare, people can still sit with animals, this is really the first time Zhou has seen it."

Although this young man had good eyesight and saw Shen Yi's perfunctory, he was obviously not the one who could hold his breath.After realizing that the goal was difficult to achieve, he began to sneer.

"Amitabha," Shen Yi lightly pressed Brother Hu's back, touched it reassuringly, and said, "In the eyes of monks, all beings are equal, and there is no distinction between high and low. It doesn't matter if it's a human or an animal."

He looked at Zhou Xiaotong with a smile, that peaceful and equal look made Zhou Xiaotong extremely angry.

"You dare to scold me!" Zhou Xiaotong slapped the table angrily.

When Shen Yi spoke, he stared at Zhou Xiaotong, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.In his eyes, Zhou Xiaotong is no different from a beast.

Of course, no matter what the meaning is, he would not directly jump in the face. Seeing Zhou Xiaotong angry, Shen Yi said in surprise: "Why did Benefactor Zhou make such a statement? The little monk just said a Buddhist principle, but there is nothing against Benefactor Zhou." Meaning, not to mention Zhou's benefactor is an animal. It's just equality, equality!"

Seeing this, Wu Yin next to him was slightly taken aback, and then chose to remain silent.

If you can make the other party take the initiative to turn their faces, it will save you a lot of trouble.

What Shen Yi said was a needle hidden in the cotton, Zhou Xiaotong became even more angry when he heard the words, and immediately wanted to throw a cup as a pretext, and called out five hundred knives and axes to chop Shen Yi off.

At the critical moment, Lei Dazhuang suddenly said: "Speaking of Buddhism, I have a doubt, and I want to ask you two."
