Chapter 655 Hundred Fruit Banquet
“That’s it.”
Liang Yan finally knew why the Zuoqiu family of Huangshi Mountain had such a high status in the Xu State, even the Qianyuan Holy Palace. To marry them.
It is not because of how strong this cultivation family is, but because they have a backer from an outsider monk. Although this backer may not be able to contact them anymore, it is the orthodoxy left behind by him after all.
Who knows if this person will return to Nanchui on a whim?
Therefore, no one in the major sects in Nanchui, including the five great sects, dared to look down upon this family of immortal cultivators, and had always maintained its detached status.
At this time, Zhuang Zhengqi said again: "The ancestor of the Zuoqiu family was a registered disciple of that monk. He later stayed in Huangshi Mountain to guard the Yellowstone Heavenly Book. But this thing is magical after all. The Zong's strength is not to be underestimated. The Zuoqiu family did not dare to occupy this thing alone, so they made a rule to hold a Yellowstone event every hundred years and invite Nanchui colleagues to come and understand. This stone."
"During the Huangshi Festival, there was also a 'Hundred Fruit Banquet', which was held in memory of the original monk. Only those who received the white invitation were eligible to participate. Banquet."
After hearing this, Liang Yan finally understood the origin of the Huangshi Festival and the Baiguo Banquet, and also understood the meaning of the invitation in his hand.
“No wonder the two people looked so surprised just now. It seems that there must be some benefits to this ‘Hundred Fruit Banquet’, otherwise a sect leader would never be so rude.”
Liang Yan thought about it secretly and then asked: "I heard that as long as you are invited to participate in the Huangshi Grand Meeting, you can be allowed to understand the Yellowstone Heavenly Book. But I don't know what's so special about this 'Hundred Fruit Banquet'?"
< br>Zhuang Zhengqi chuckled and said: "It is said that The monk left a spirit tree behind before he left. This tree blooms and bears fruit once every hundred years, and the Zuoqiu family uses these hundred spirits in order to make friends with various forces in Nanchui. If a banquet is held to entertain all parties, everyone who participates in the banquet shall I can get a spiritual fruit!"
"That's it!" Liang Yan nodded and asked, "But I don't know what kind of spiritual fruit it is that can attract the hearts of all parties."
“It’s hard to say for sure. According to legend, this spirit The tree is a bit weird, and the hundreds of spiritual fruits it bears are all different. You will have to eat them to find out the specific effects of the fruit. But I think it is just one of several effects: strengthening cultivation, nourishing the soul, and strengthening the body. One." Zhuang Zhengqi said thoughtfully.
"It seems that Zhang is lucky to have such a benefit!" Liang Yan smiled slightly, cupped his hands towards Zhuang Zhengqi and said, "Thank you, Master, for your advice!"
"Haha, Elder Zhang, you don't have to be polite. Everyone in our Xu Kingdom knows these inside stories. Speaking of which, I quite envy you. If you can participate in this 'Hundred Fruit Banquet', you will definitely get a spiritual fruit. This kind of chance is comparable to enlightenment. The Yellow Stone Heavenly Book is more realistic after hundreds of years. Not many people can really comprehend one or two magical powers from those strange rocks."
Liang Yan could naturally see the envy in his eyes, but he also knew that the sect master was relying on him very much and would never do it. She would have some evil thoughts just because of an invitation, so she just smiled honestly.
At this time, several Ningyang Sect elders in the arena have withdrawn their defensive forbidden methods and returned home. The remaining sects that did not get the rankings all went down the mountain with depressed faces and gloomy moods. In front of the huge mountain gate, only a few sects that have some friendship with Ningyang Sect are still here.
"It's time for us to leave. We'll go back to the Huxin Sect to recuperate, and we'll set off for Huangshi Mountain in three days!"
Zhuang Zhengqi didn't have any friendship with the Ningyang Sect. He was in a good mood just now. Xia and Liang Yan chatted for a few more words. At this moment, they didn't want to stay any longer. They led several members of the Huxin Sect down to Ningyang Mountain with Liang Yan and Jia Ruoyan, and drove back to the Huxin Sect in the Dunguang.
In the next three days, Liang Yan and Jia Ruoyan stayed behind closed doors and did not participate in the affairs of the Huxin Sect. This made everyone think that the brother and sister were two ascetic cultivators, so no one came to disturb them.
On the morning of the third day, when Liang Yan and Jia Ruoyan arrived at the Huxin Sect's meeting hall, Zhuang Zhengqi was already sitting at the main seat, and there were more than a dozen monks on his left and right. They are all above the foundation building stage and are the backbone of the Huxin Sect.
Zhuang Zhengqi was having a lively chat with a young woman in palace attire at this time. This young woman was also in the late stage of foundation building and was obviously entrusted with the power of the Huxin Sect. As for Muzhou, who he had favored before, he was being left aside now and looked completely neglected.
In fact, Muzhou and this woman, as Zhuang Zhengqi's right-hand men, have always been valued by him. The two of them also fought openly and secretly, but Muzhou usually had the upper hand.
But after this trip to Ningyang Mountain, Zhuang Zhengqi was very disappointed with Muzhou and turned to rely on this female cultivator.
“Ning Rou, my participation in the Huangshi Grand Meeting this time is related to the inheritance of our sect. I hope you can take good care of the Huxin Sect in the days after I leave, and don’t slack off at all! "
The female cultivator in palace attire nodded and said: "Sect Master, just go with peace of mind, the sect has If I'm here, there won't be any problems!"
"Okay!"
Zhuang Zhengqi smiled slightly. When he saw Liang Yan and Jia Ruoyan walking in from the outside, he immediately stood up and said: "Elder Zhang, you two brothers and sisters are here, let's set off immediately."
"It all depends on the arrangement of the sect leader!" Liang Yan said with a bow.
The dozen monks present looked at Liang Yan with some curiosity. Although they had heard rumors about them before, some people still doubted their strength.
However, Zhuang Zhengqi would not have any doubts. He had seen with his own eyes how powerful Jia Ruoyan's magic power was, and even he did not dare to say that he could win surely.
He waved behind him, and Shengchi walked out of the crowd and followed them.
"Everyone, we are about to leave for Huangshi Mountain. This trip is related to the survival of the sect. In the days when I am not here, I will ask all the elders to be more attentive and try their best to assist Ning Rou!"
"Don't worry, Sect Master, we will defend the Huxin Sect to the death!" More than a dozen elders in the field replied almost in unison.
Zhuang Zhengqi smiled slightly, turned around and nodded to Liang Yan and others. The four of them signed the secret at the same time, each took up an escape light and flew out of Daze.
Huangshi Mountain is a cultivation force with a special status in the Xu Kingdom. There are no sects or aristocratic families within 800 miles of it.
Huangshi Mountain is surrounded by a spiritual river. It is said that as long as monks in the Golden Core stage fly above this spiritual river, they will inexplicably lose all their magic power and fall from the air.
Only by walking out of the scope of this spiritual river can one regain his magical powers.
Therefore, everyone who wants to enter Huangshi Mountain must take a special wooden boat arranged by the Zuoqiu family on the other side of the Ling River to cross the river safely.
