The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 126:123: Banquet and Memorial Ceremony (Subscribe please!)

This should be a thrilling chase!

Starting from the life and death arena, they dispersed in all directions and chased each other in the mountains and woods, constantly performing scenes of chasing and killing, escaping and fighting.

It took three full days before the people from Wenxiang Temple returned one after another. By the fifth day, almost everyone had returned.

Most of these people were injured to varying degrees, but most of them held their heads high, smiling happily and in high spirits.

What greeted them were the various thoughtful arrangements made by Hao Songqing, the chief steward of Wenxiang Temple.

Starting from the city gate, he specially arranged servants to guide the disciples. The returning disciples of Wenxiang Temple would first be led to the hall to hand over their tasks.

They are all people risking their lives, and what they care about most is their respective points.

Here, their points will be calculated clearly, and all kinds of tasks will be completed one by one.

If you have someone in mind, you can leave a list at this time to determine the martial arts, medicine, or money you need.

It’s just that we still have to wait for a while for the real thing. It’s not that Wen Xiang Guan broke its promise, but the one-time expenditure is too much. Even Wen Xiang Guan needs time for statistics, scheduling, arrangement and even production.

The 'Calming and Soul-Calming Incense' is the most representative of them.

Once all this is done, a servant will lead them to wash up first.

Wash away the dirt in the bathhouse, and there are special masters to scrub your back and give you massage to relax your body and mind.

There are also buffets, and all the famous chefs in Anyue City gather here. Banquets are held every day, and you can eat whenever you want, with good wine and delicious food.

There are also the softest beds where you can rest without worrying about any enemies.

There are the best doctors to help treat the injuries. As long as the patient is still alive, Wenxiang Temple will use all kinds of good medicines.

Even all the brothels in Anyue City have been booked. If you want to indulge yourself, you can order anyone you want.

All of the above are free of charge and everything is borne by Wenxiangguan.

With this arrangement, no matter how much murderous intent or resentment there was before, it would almost all be gone after a few days in this gentle place.

Of course, Wenxiang Temple was not idle during these five days.

There are not too many things to do, such as collecting corpses, setting up altars, counting losses, sending people to take over Yunya Mountain, etc. Wenxiang Temple has arranged everything in an orderly manner.

Although Yunya Mountain was burned down by a fire, there are some things that cannot be burned. There are definitely many valuable things, which are naturally worth cleaning up and counting.

However, these Zhou Wu never showed up, and everything was handled by the chief steward Hao Songqing.

……

Five days later,
In the evening, in the bamboo garden.

Chu Zhou sat behind the desk, holding an ancient book in one hand and tapping the pages with the other, flipping through the pages.

He read very quickly, ten lines at a glance, without even trying to understand the whole thing. The more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed.

Wei Jinkui was also sitting at the side, holding a book in his hand. He looked a little listless, but it was obvious that he had gotten over the pain of losing his son, and his eyes were clear.

After a long while, Chu Zhou finished flipping through the ancient book in his hand and threw it casually. There were more than ten books of the same type on the desk.

He rubbed his brows and asked, "Uncle, are you sure that it was these Desire Demons who broke into the Yunya Sword Sect and set fire and killed people that day?"

Chu Zhou did not pursue the Yunya disciples for too long. He returned early and heard about the Yunya Sword Sect. He naturally asked Wei Jinkui to find out. Then, he found a lot of ancient books about the "Xuan Yue Sect" in the library of Wenxiang Temple.

"I am not sure!"

Wei Jinkui shook his head and said, "I have never seen it with my own eyes before, and I haven't seen it this time either. If you want to ask for a definite piece of information?

How can I tell you for sure?! But…"

"But what?"

“However, according to the information I gathered, those strange people are almost identical to those described in the ancient book.

Also, in the Anyue City government, there is an old official named Li who saw the characteristics of a demon disciple from the corpse and insisted that the incident on Yunya Mountain was done by these people. "

After a pause, Wei Jinkui continued, "Of course, these are not the most important evidence. The most important thing is that there was a ghostwriter who tried to climb the mountain to make a fortune when the Yunya Sword Sect caught fire.

Then, he saw that the Xuan Yue Witch had a battle with Ba Zong Gongye King. The outcome was unknown, but he could hear their conversation clearly.

This person is also the source of all the news!"

Chu Zhou asked again: "Has anyone seen Ba Zong Gongye Wang in the past few days?"

"Never!"

"That's it!"

Chu Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, looking serious, and no one knew what he was thinking. However, Wei Jinkui could not help himself.

He said: "Master, tell me, could it be that Wenxiang Temple is colluding with Xuan..."

"Shut up!"

Chu Zhou interrupted, and he glanced over, his five senses heightened to the extreme. After making sure that there was no one around, he said, "Uncle, there are some things that cannot be said casually!
Even if you have some guesses in your mind, you can't say it!

This is not a trivial matter, this is a matter of life and death!"

Wei Jinkui pursed his lips and said, "I know!"

Chu Zhou ignored him and lowered his head slightly, frowning in thought.

Wei Jinkui’s meaning was very clear. As far as the final result was concerned, it was possible that Wenxiang Temple was colluding with Xuanyue Sect.

Otherwise, given the morality of the Demon Cult, how could it be possible for them to do something that would benefit the Wenxiang Temple?

That fire was an important turning point in the battle of life and death!

But the problem is, that's the Xuan Yue Sect! If the Pure World Red Lotus Society is a professional rebel, determined to turn the world upside down; then the Xuan Yue Sect is an expert at stirring up people's hearts. With just a few words, they can bewitch people and make people's hearts full of evil.

What Chu Zhou saw from these books was that the Xuan Yue followers were lurking around powerful people.

Either magnifying their ambitions or stirring up their desires will only make their behavior more and more tyrannical and foolish, until finally, the world is in chaos.

They can be seen in almost every last dynasty, the men as counselors and the women as concubines, and this has never stopped.

There were even people who boasted of being wise and brave, with outstanding willpower, and did not believe in the ability of this Xuan Yue demon disciple, but almost all of them became the people who lost their country and their race in history books.

In a sense, this Xuan Yue demon is more terrifying than the Red Lotus Society.

This is because the Pure World Red Lotus will take the lower level route, and unless it really can't survive, at most it will cause chaos in a city or a place.

But this Xuan Yue demon could cause a massacre that sweeps across an entire prefecture or country.

If, Chu Zhou only said if, Zhou Wu really cooperated with such a person, then he would not only be eager for revenge, but would even be unscrupulous.

Frankly speaking, Chu Zhou was somewhat conflicted at this time. On the one hand, he thought that Zhou Wu should not be so unwise as to collude with the Xuan Yue Sect, which was simply courting disaster.

On the other hand, he felt that with Zhou Wu's personality, he wouldn't care about the Xuan Yue Sect or the Desire Demon Disciple.

He only cares about achieving his goal!
But no matter what, after today, it’s better to stay away from Zhou Wu!
"Big Brother, Big Brother, we are back!"

The sound of footsteps accompanied by shouts interrupted Chu Zhou's thoughts. He raised his head slightly and saw Yi Huai stepping into the door with brisk steps.

Behind him was Wei Fangjie, following with a gun; and there was a drunkard old man Feng Yan, looking around with a relaxed look.

Chu Zhou came back to his senses, stood up, and went to meet them. He glanced at Yi Huai and Wei Fangjie and said with a smile, "Look at you guys, you've gained a lot!"

"Senior Feng is an old hand. With him leading us, we never stepped into traps when we hunted down others. It can be considered as a great experience."

Wei Fangjie spoke the truth. When chasing fugitives in the mountains and forests, it is still unclear who is the hunter and who is the prey.

At this time, the importance of experience is revealed, otherwise you might really be cheated!

Chu Zhou heard this, looked at the drunkard old man, and said, "Old drunkard, thank you!"

"No thanks, no need to thank me!"

The old drunkard Feng Yan waved his hands and said, "If anyone wants to thank someone, it should be you. Your two junior brothers are so strong, coupled with my experience, that we can be invincible and kill people everywhere.

You didn't see that every Yunya disciple we caught up with looked as pale as death, and they didn't even have the courage to fight for their lives.

Even that innate warrior can be killed if the three of us work together!
Haha, now I know that Xiantian Wufu can really kill!"

Chu Zhou asked: "So, do you have enough credits for what you need?"

"That's enough, that's enough. Even if the three of us split the bill, it's enough for me to buy another pillar of calming incense."

At this point, he paused and looked more serious: "Thank you, my friend!"

"nothing!"

Chu Zhou looked at the sky and said, "Since we are back, let's go together."

"Why go?"

"Zhou Wu has prepared a grand banquet today to entertain the heroes of this battle. Let's go together."

……

After a great victory, there must be a grand banquet. This is a universal truth in any world.

What was unexpected was that Zhou Wu held this banquet directly in the ancestral hall.

The history of Wenxiang Temple is not very long, and the only people enshrined in the ancestral hall are his previous masters and uncles.

But on this day, hundreds of tablets appeared.

As for outside the ancestral hall, tables of banquets have been set up in the huge square.

Chu Zhou saw many familiar names in the Patriarch's Hall, such as the great elder Shi Tingshou who had died before, and the right protector Xie Lihuang.

There were also the Wenxiang Temple's chief disciple Yin Shengyun and the left protector Mei Jiaoniang who died in this battle...

Looking closely, although Wenxiang Temple won the battle, the price it paid was indeed not small, and it could even be said that the losses were heavy.

Of course, given the current situation in Tianquan County, Zhou Wu has the power of Dasheng, and even if his strength has been greatly weakened, no one dares to disobey his words.

This is what people want!
It is worth mentioning that the words "my wife" were added to the title of Mei Jiao Niang's tablet.

Obviously, King Wu of Zhou recognized this woman as his legal wife.

Chu Zhou, along with the old drunkard, Yi Huai and Wei Fangjie, first lit three sticks of incense for everyone, and then were led to their seats by a servant.

As a powerful man who could kill the innate, Chu Zhou naturally sat at the main table. Next to him were the Hammer King Cao Bao, the innate worshipper Zhongli Linghui, and the Tiger Demon Pavilion Master Zuoqiu Tong.

When he saw Chu Zhou, Cao Bao's eyes suddenly brightened up. He came over and started chatting with him.

Chu Zhou naturally didn't have many concerns and chatted with him casually until a cup of tea later, when everyone was almost gathered and Zhou Wu finally showed up.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Zhou Wu's face was still a little pale, but the aura of a superior in him had increased instead of decreased.

Even his moving eyes, every look and every movement could affect the atmosphere in the room and make people afraid to look at him.

He walked to the front of the main hall, took out three incense sticks, lit them, bowed slightly, and inserted them into the incense burner, but his eyes lingered on the tablets.

It was not until a moment later that he turned around, his eyes seemed to pass through everyone, and then he said: "Gentlemen, are you confused as to why I would set up this banquet here?"

　It’s too much if you don’t give me tickets at the end of the month!
