Raising the Demon

Chapter 397
The pearly dragon shines on the fire, and at night it meets the Chaoyun banquet in the Zhu Palace.

At night, the Marquis of Wuyun's mansion was brightly lit, and the servants who came and went hurriedly came and went, serving the delicious food and wine in turn.

It was rumored that Marquis Wu Yun was a very hospitable person, and his reputation was well-deserved.

King Zhuan and Marquis Wu Yun pushed the cups together, sometimes talking in low voices, sometimes laughing loudly, Elder Pingqi also sat on one side. On Zi Baifeng's body.

Zi Baifeng sat down, and beside him was Wu Pugan who was accompanying him. Wu Pugan sometimes whispered something to Zi Baifeng, and Zi Baifeng responded politely.

On the opposite side, sitting next to the old Taoist was Wu Pukun. He was staring at Zi Baifeng with two eyes, making threatening expressions to Zi Baifeng from time to time, but Zi Baifeng could not see it.

In order to add to the fun, Marquis Wu Yun also invited masters from the Liyuan to cheer for the fun. While performing in turn, Zi Baifeng saw the figure of Red Gu Niang, but he did not expect that it was Hong Gu Niang who was invited by Marquis Wu Yun to visit. The team, and Hong Guniang simply made a gorgeous appearance in Wu Yunhou.

At this time, the hoarse voice of Hong Gu Niang was singing "Tao Qing" in a low voice:
"Floating life disturbs the world of mortals, don't ask about fame and fortune. Idlers are poor, riches and honor are floating clouds. Le Linquan harms the whole body. The general, who lifts the tripod to pull the mountain, only ends up killing himself. Learn from Fan Li to return to the lake, Zhang Han thinks of watermelon, and the rich children and grandchildren of the countryside. Competing like a drunk in the world? I once discussed with the masters, but I don’t envy Yuan Rongyin. Huanhua Village, covering the firewood gate, there is no worries. Open a bottle, write a detailed paper, and be happy and leisurely.”

King Zhuan and Marquis Wu Yun, who were talking, gradually stopped. Marquis Wu Yun nodded his head, looked at Hong Guniang, and shook his head as the tone of her singing changed, and King Zhuan also showed a thoughtful look.

"Good song, let me give you some wine!" After the song ended, Marquis Wu Yun shouted loudly, and immediately someone brought fine wine and silver taels, and the red drum girl drank generously to receive the reward, a blessing to Marquis Wu Yun. going down.

"Wait a moment, Miss. I have a question for you. What is your name? Where is she from? I heard that the girl is not from Zai Tianfu. Who made this song? I have never heard anyone else sing it before." After listening to it But Wu Yunhou stopped Hong Guniang and asked.

Hong Gu Niang smiled and saluted again, although her voice was hoarse, but she had a strange aura: "Qi Hou Ye, the servant's famous person is called Hong Gu Niang, she is originally from Zhuaner Kingdom, and she just came to Zaitian Mansion a few days ago , to be honest, the lyrics for this song are at the banquet."

Red Guniang looked at her eldest nephew, Bai Feng, and smiled slightly, with a somewhat smug look, as if to say: "I didn't expect that, I'm also here to attend the banquet."

Hong Guniang has a completely different temperament from Zijian. Zijian is calm and heavy, but Hong Guniang wants to be a child more and more these days, and sometimes she will play tricks on Zi Baifeng. Sometimes Zi Baifeng feels that she is not much. Instead of a sister-in-law, she has a troublesome older sister.

At this time, Zi Baifeng felt a little headache, if you come to participate, just come and participate, if you dare not say it, let's not say it, okay?

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Zi Baifeng bit his bullet and said, "Red Guniang is my sister-in-law, and she came to Tianfu with me."

"You are also the author of the poem?" Marquis Wu Yun slightly raised his eyebrows, and said, "You are the foreign surname of Zhuan Er Kingdom... Zhen Guohou?"

In fact, Marquis Wu Yun didn't pay much attention to Zi Baifeng, one is because Zi Baifeng is too young, and the other is that he is just a foreign surname who belongs to the country, and he, the foreign surname of the celestial kingdom, is the same as him. Bi, it's not on the same level at all, and he does have the qualifications to despise Zi Baifeng.

"Bai Feng is the number one talent in our Zhuaner Kingdom. He took part in the imperial examination in our Zhuaner Kingdom and won three grades in a row." King Zhuan introduced with a smile. Just now he was worried about how to bring the topic to Zi Baifeng. It's a matter of course.

As soon as he said a word, Marquis Wu Yun looked at Zi Baifeng in a different way. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my old Wu envies scholars the most in my life. Unlike me, I can't read a basket of characters with big words." .”

He was exaggerating, and Zi Baifeng could see clearly that although Marquis Wu Yun was not considered a great expert, his strength was definitely not weak. As a monk, it was almost impossible for him to be illiterate. Out of good intentions, Zi Baifeng of course wanted to catch him, and hurriedly said: "Master Wu, you are too serious, boy, these are just trivial tricks, not worth mentioning."

"If this is just a trivial skill, then who else dares to call themselves a genius?" Wu Yunhou said in an elder tone: "Young people, humility is good, but being too humble is hypocrisy."

Zi Baifeng smiled and did not refute. He actually just wanted to say that the reason for his humility is that he actually copied this piece of music. Needless to say, either when he was giving lectures to the little ones, the red drum girl After listening to it, either Hong Guniang looked through the books in his study and remembered it.

"Compared to Master Zihou's achievements in other aspects, this is really just a trivial skill." Elder Pingqi, who had been pouring wine in his belly, suddenly said, and then he said to Marquis Wu: "Master Wu, you may not know, This Marquis of Zhen Guo does not say that his Taoist name is not Baizi, but he is the suzerain of Bird and Mouse Temple, in fact, he also has another title, called Yaoxianzi Baifeng."

Elder Pingqi saw the harmless appearance of Zibaifeng's people and animals, pretending to be low-key over there, he really couldn't see it, so he spoke out to expose him, and at the same time reminded his old friend, don't underestimate others easily, So as not to be seen as a joke.

"Not Baizi? Watching birds and mice? Fairy Baifeng...Zi Baifeng...fairy?" Hearing Elder Pingqi's words, Marquis Wu Yun's eyes widened.

King Zhuan was also a little stunned. Where did the demons and immortals come from?Why doesn't he know?
In fact, this is all thanks to the inspection department. During the period when Zi Baifeng and the others flew to Tianzhou by boat, rumors about Zi Baifeng have been rumored, but most of the rumors are another name "Fei Baizi". Bai Feng's Taoist name.

It's not that Baizi's real name is Zibaifeng, he doesn't say a word, and his name is Master Huaisu. Only those who have studied and understood Zibaifeng carefully can know.

Like Elder Pingqi, it was because of some erroneous circumstances that Zi Baifeng could be connected together after knowing a little bit, because Zi Baifeng was so lacking in the demeanor of a master, he looked like an ordinary boy.

When Zi Baifeng's name came out, they were still on the road, and after arriving in Zaitian Prefecture, they hadn't had much contact with the cultivation world, so it's not surprising that they didn't know.

As for Marquis Wu Yun, although he is also a monk, all he contacts are people in the officialdom, and he has relatively little contact with sects, so it is normal to not know.

But even Wu Yunhou, who doesn't have much contact with these things, has heard the name of Yaoxian these days.

"The demon fairy Baifeng, not Baizi..." Wu Yunhou looked Zi Baifeng up and down seriously as if seeing Zi Baifeng for the first time—in fact, it was indeed the first time he was seriously looking at Quantum Baifeng, He said again: "Disrespect, disrespect, it's really too negligent. Come on, move the seat of Lord Zihou to the top. Lord Lord Zi, those who don't know are not guilty. I will punish myself with three cups!"

As he spoke, he drank three cups in a row, but Zi Baifeng didn't stop him, he just drank three cups.

The fine nectar and jade liquid, a ray of hot air at the entrance, runs through the whole body. This wine is a rare and good wine, but it is also full of energy. Fortunately, everyone is a monk, so they are not afraid of getting drunk.

After such an episode, the atmosphere became much more heated. Because of Zi Baifeng, even the red drum girl became a guest of honor, and sat in the position that Zi Baifeng had just now.

Sitting on one side, Wu Pukun looked at Zi Baifeng suspiciously, as if wondering, is this guy really that powerful?I can't see it at all, it's a fairy or something, it's a lie.

Zi Baifeng did not expect that his competitor, Elder Pingqi, would help him prove his identity, which made things much easier.

"Elder Pingqi, I didn't expect you to be here." Zi Baifeng cupped his hands, "Last time we only met once, and I haven't thanked Elder Pingqi yet."

Elder Pingqi smiled and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say."

He clearly helped Zi Baifeng stop Wu Pukun last time, but actually protected Wu Pukun's safety. He didn't tell Wu Yunhou about this, but when Zi Baifeng mentioned it, it made Wu Yunhou puzzled: " You have met before?"

Zi Baifeng smiled slightly, and didn't say much, he came here today to ask for help, so naturally he didn't want to help Elder Pingqi earn his reputation and gain hatred for himself.

"I'm going to sing another song to cheer you up." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit weird, Hong Guniang certainly knew why, she got up with a chuckle, and walked back to the stage. There were a few drum beats, and her lips parted lightly. She sang again, but this time it was a cheerful song. The red drum girl gently twisted her waist on the stage, but she was charming but not gorgeous, beautiful but not vulgar, and attracted everyone's attention. Those guards and servants standing on one side, the two brothers Wu Pugan and Wu Pukun who are full of blood, even Wu Yunhou and others couldn't take their eyes off.

After the song of Red Gu Niang ended, Zi Baifeng said: "Master Wu, actually, I have other important matters to accompany His Majesty King Zhuan to the banquet this time."

"Oh? I have something to do, but please tell me. If I can do it, I will do it." Marquis Wu kept his posture very low, showing enough friendliness to Zi Baifeng.

Zi Baifeng explained his reason for coming, Marquis Wu Yun frowned suddenly, his face looked distressed, and said: "Other things are easy to talk about, but this matter is difficult, Brother Pingqi..."

Wu Yunhou looked at Pingqi. If he didn't know who Zi Baifeng was, it would be fine. After knowing Zi Baifeng's identity, Wu Yunhou was actually beating drums in his heart. It is rumored that he can go directly to the list of land, at least the list of great masters. In terms of status alone, he is probably higher than him, let alone cultivation. If Zi Baifeng is angered, he doesn't know what will happen.But Elder Pingqi is of course not easy to deal with. Leaving aside the decades of friendship between the two of them, Elder Pingqi himself, or the Jiqiaozong itself, is difficult to deal with. Although the Jiqiaozong is not big, its status is extremely special , has connections with the Great Sect, the Inspectorate, and even the royal children of the Heavenly Dynasty. Although Elder Pingqi asks him now, more often, it is he who asks Elder Pingqi.

In particular, Zaitian Mansion, as his fiefdom, cannot be passed on to his descendants. The reason why he sold all his land and handed it over to the Jiqiao Sect for development is also to grab more benefits and leave it for his descendants. The next retreat.

Don't look at the current Wuyunhou's mansion, but when he dies, his sons will be kicked out and nothing will be given to them.

Fortunately, in these years, he has also done a lot of business operations, turning many places into his own private land, so that he can sell it to the Jiqiaozong.

"It turned out to be you!" Pingqi was stunned for a moment. He only knew that someone was negotiating with him about buying land. I didn't do much research, but I was very surprised at this time. It turned out that the person who came to buy the land was Zi Baifeng.

No wonder, Zijian is Zi Baifeng's father. When he came to find him, he actually came to investigate the situation, not because he met by chance. Afterwards, he refused to agree to be his apprentice, probably because he was a competitor with him.

But this Zi Baifeng, he would even think of buying land?
Could it be that behind this young fairy, is there any expert advice?
It's one thing to be well-educated, another to be talented, but quite another to have business acumen.

If someone occupies these three items, then God will love him too much.

"I didn't expect that my opponent was you, Elder Pingqi. I sent someone to talk to Ji Qiaozong, but it didn't work out." Zi Baifeng said, he turned and said to Wu Yunhou: "Wuhou Lord , I wonder under what terms Ji Qiaozong got your promise? I am willing to offer better terms in exchange for the friendship of Marquis Wu."

"This is actually not because of the conditions..." Marquis Wu Yun subconsciously wanted to refuse. The Jiqiaozong is a professional. There is no doubt about it. Although Zi Baifeng is known as a demon fairy, he is too young and has no hair If the matter is not secure, it concerns his descendants, so he dare not entrust it to Zi Baifeng easily.

"Master Wu, there is an old saying that goes well, business is business, and friendship is friendship. Lord Wu, you value love and righteousness. I admire this very much. However, when doing business, I always think that you don't need too much emotion. Factors..." He turned his head to look at Elder Pingqi, and said: "Elder Pingqi didn't think so, but I think that you, Lord Wu, refused to give me a chance because of Elder Pingqi's friendship. It's really sad...”

He paused, and said: "Master Wu, I also know your concerns, how about this, you give me a chance to compete with Pingqi elders on the same stage, and compare which one can bring the greatest benefits to Lord Wu. How about your interests?"

Zi Baifeng knew that although Marquis Wu Yun said that he sold the land to Jiqiaozong, in fact it would never be so simple. He thought that Marquis Wu Yun used the land as a shareholding, and finally divided it into shares. Neither Wu Yunhou nor Elder Pingqi refuted this point.

That being the case, Zi Baifeng is relieved, he is confident that he can get more benefits for Marquis Wu Yun.

"This..." Marquis Wu Yun really couldn't easily agree, because he would offend Elder Pingqi, and Marquis Wu Yun, who was caught in the middle, was also a little mad. He regretted why he had invited King Zhuan to a banquet.

For a while, the surroundings became quiet, and everyone didn't speak, but looked at Marquis Wu Yun, waiting for him to make a decision.

Marquis Wu Yun was in a difficult situation, he looked at Zi Baifeng, then at Elder Pingqi, but he didn't know what to do.

"I've long heard that the Jiqiao Sect's amazing skills are unparalleled in the world. I wonder if Elder Pingqi would like to bet with me?"

Although Elder Pingqi is old, he can't be provoked, and he has absolute confidence in his ingenious sect. Whether it is architecture, design, or formation, they are definitely not weak. He doesn't think he will be inferior to Zibai wind.

After struggling for a while, Elder Pingqi agreed, saying: "Okay, since Your Excellency Yaoxian has already said so, let's take a bet. I don't know what the bet is?"

"The winner wins all, and the loser loses. Whoever loses will withdraw from the competition and hand over the land, how about it?" Zi Baifeng said.

"It's not fair." Elder Pingqi shook his head, and said: "If my ingenious sect wins, you have nothing to lose, Your Excellency, but if you win, Your Excellency, we will lose everything."

"Then how about I add more bargaining chips?" Zi Baifeng pondered for a while and said, "Well, I have a simplified copy of the formation diagram here."

Zi Baifeng took out a copy of the formation map from his pocket, threw it to Elder Pingqi, and said: "If I lose, I will hand over the entire copy of the formation map to Ji Qiaozong, how about it?"

Although Elder Pingqi is an elder of Jiangmen, not an elder of Qimen, he is also quite proficient in the formation, at least he still has the eyesight to read the formation. When he glanced at the formation, his eyes widened immediately, as if He looked down bewilderedly.

After a long while, he reluctantly threw the formation map to Zi Baifeng, but shook his head again, saying: "It's still not enough... we need to add more chips."

Zi Baifeng thought for a while, and said: "Then how about this, in my territory Mengcheng, there is a place called Jijian Forest, there are thousands of spiritual swords in Jijian Forest, if I lose, I will just play tricks How about ten disciples of Zong offering ten high-grade spirit swords?"

Pingqi has seen Zi Baifeng's Golden Sword Demon before, he doesn't know which spirit swords compare to the Golden Sword Demon, but it sounds pretty good.

But Elder Pingqi still refused to agree, he shook his head and said: "It's not enough, you guys have quotas for the Mianxian Conference, let's take out three quotas to gamble, how about it?"

"Three quotas?" Zi Baifeng thought for a while and said, "Three is three."

It seems that the Jiqiao Sect is also extremely short of places to enter, so it makes such a request.

But since this is the case, they can't lose even more.

Elder Pingqi didn't think he would lose either.

Under the witness of Marquis Wu Yun and King Zhuan, two elders, Zi Baifeng and Heping Qi, signed the bet and made a written document, and the bet took effect.

The winner wins all, and the loser loses all. With the addition of ten spirit swords, three entrance quotas for the Fairy Fairy Conference, and the immeasurably huge subsequent benefits, this is a gamble that is unrivaled in the world.

Hearing the bet between the two parties, King Zhuan felt terrified, and held back several times before making a sound. He also has shares in Zi Baifeng. If Zi Baifeng loses, what should he do if he is allowed to be out of the quota? He is not enough now.
