Chapter 149 Banquet at the City Lord's Mansion
"Aren't you doing business?" Meng Furong's voice came from her heart. At this time, Tang Yue was buying croquettes at the stall. Tang Yue replied seriously, "It's important to be familiar with the environment. Otherwise, wouldn't it be miserable if you can't defeat me and have nowhere to run? Look, I've visited all the places in the past few days, even finding all the secret passages in the palace." Now, there are still a lot of serious things to do.”
Meng Furong was speechless. She had obviously been sightseeing these past few days. She had not missed the scenic spots and the Wase Restaurant. She also discussed the construction art and totems of the palace with her. Symbol, no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like you are doing something serious.
"It's up to you. I've never been to Xuanjian City before. I've been stuck in those who are doing chivalry, fishing for fame, and love and hate. I didn't think of wandering around. Now I've seen a lot. Interesting stuff. ”
“Right, once you’ve seen more scenery, all the entanglements in the past will become unimportant. Besides, now that you are pregnant, you should eat well, drink well and be in a good mood. Okay.”
In fact, Tang Yue was also very panicked. Zong Yingkong had accumulated more spiritual power here for hundreds of years than he needed for Mahayana ascension. The illusion could not last long. When Kong Yingzong could no longer be restrained, no one could resist.
But staying in the house will not help, and will only increase anxiety. It is better to go out and see Xuanjian City, in case you really can't escape, and you can still enjoy life.
When she returned to her room in the evening, a spiritual letter arrived. It was from Xuanjian City who invited her to attend the guest guests’ dust-cleansing banquet. It turned out that a week had passed and the city lord’s palace had finished selecting the guest guests.
"We have been waiting for this day. The hope of dealing with Zong Yingkong lies with the people in the City Lord's Mansion." Tang Yue said to himself and also to Meng Furong.
"How to persuade the people in the City Lord's Mansion to help us?" Meng Furong thought it was feasible, but she had never asked anyone to do anything, and she didn't know how to persuade the City Lord's Mansion.
"It's nothing more than beauty temptation, frame-up, moral kidnapping, etc. When the time comes, let's see which method works best."
"You are so treacherous."
" So, in this situation, is it possible to deal with Kong Yingzong? He did everything possible. "
"I know, but I failed to show my dignity."
“Are you scolding me?”
Meng Furong stopped talking, indicating that she acquiesced. Tang Yue decided to use up everything in her storage magic weapon and leave nothing for her. .
But she forgot at this time that this place was an illusion, and the things in the storage bag were also fake. They were transformed by the power of the Black Cloud Secret Realm. Even if she couldn't use them all, she couldn't take them out to Meng Furong.
And Meng Furong’s real magic weapon lies in her own hands.
The banquet held by the City Lord's Mansion was very large. It was estimated that three to four hundred monks attended the banquet.
Tang Yue was very puzzled. It was not that he wanted to rebel, and there had been no major wars recently. Xuanjian City actually hired so many guests? I took a closer look at each person's cultivation level. Most of them were in the Golden Elixir and Distraction Stages. There were dozens in the Nascent Soul Stage and a dozen in the Transformation Stage.
There were only three monks in the integration stage. They sat at a few low tables in front of the banquet like her, and they also kept silent and acted like a worldly master.
The city lord delivered an important speech before the banquet, "Thank you all for coming from afar and becoming our guests in Xuanjian City. From now on, we will work together for the prosperity of Xuanjian City."
After saying this, he toasted to everyone and used amplification techniques so that monks in the distance could hear his speech.
All the cultivators responded one after another, "Thank you City Lord."
"Without further ado, let's enjoy today's banquet."
The casual cultivators thanked the City Lord one after another. The banquet began. Since the other two monks didn't speak, she couldn't hold chopsticks, so she could only stay silent with them.
The city lord said to the three of them: "I, Zhao Tianming, have been the city lord for twenty years. Can the three of you formally introduce yourself."
The man sitting at the first table Cultivator, "I am Wupengcheng, a wandering cultivator with no fixed residence."
The second male cultivator: "I am Zhanyuan, from the small sect Yunxia, you may not have heard of it. "The city lord hurriedly replied: "Of course I have heard of the Yunxia Sect. It is located in the southeast and is famous for its sharp swords. "
"The city lord has heard about such a small sect, which is admirable." After the two of them exchanged polite greetings, it was Tang Yue's turn.
"I, Meng Furong, come from a hermit family in Xianyuan Mountain. The city lord may not have heard of it."
Only at this time did the middle-aged man sitting on the upper floor have the opportunity to look at this charming person. Chuoyue's beauty has a rare appearance in the world. He lost his composure for a moment and then hurriedly replied, "But the Meng family, the legendary descendant of the goddess?"
Tang Yue didn't know if it was true or not, so he just assumed it was. , she didn’t need to care about her face, “It’s just misinformation from the world, don’t dare to take it seriously.”
Meng Furong was dissatisfied in her heart and said: “What misinformation, my family is really the descendant of the goddess.”< br>
Tang Yue was surprised, then she was not lying all the way?
Zhao Tianming smiled slightly, "Monk Meng is so handsome that he deserves the name of a descendant of the goddess. There is no need to be modest."
The other party is also a person who looks at her face. It seems that she persuaded the city lord to help her. There is something to be said for dealing with Kong Yingzong.
Zhao Tianming asked the three Fusion Stage monks again, "But the food is not to your liking?"
One of the older-looking monks replied, "The delicious food prepared by the city lord Very good, nothing wrong, we just have questions in our minds and want to ask the city lord.”
He and another fusion-stage monk had "encountered" each other by chance in the palace not long ago and had exchanged views with each other. They only had no chance to meet this fusion female cultivator. She also had an outstanding appearance and could easily be misunderstood if she came rashly, so he did not get along with her. She communicates.
She remained silent, presumably because she agreed that she spoke on behalf of the three of them.
The city lord made an invitation gesture, "But it doesn't matter."
"We would like to ask why Xuanjian City invites so many guests. I see that there are many monks and disciples in the city lord's mansion. , and the cultivation level is not low, it is not a lack of manpower as your steward said.
The city lord handed over, "It's just like this on the surface. After half a month, there are three to five hundred disciples and monks in the city. I am going to Xuanyuan Mountain to join the Western Region Demon Slayer Team.
The incident happened suddenly and we had no time to prepare. The city will inevitably be short of a large number of manpower. Insufficient defense will lead to the covetousness of evil spirits and outsiders. Therefore, we issued a list of heroes to recruit everyone to come to our house and help us. ”
The disciples of the three major sects have always been responsible for slaying demons. Wherever there is a demon problem, they will first send their disciples as vanguards. If there is not enough manpower, they will ask other famous city-states in Liuzhou Continent to provide manpower.< br>
This monk has heard about this. A month ago, a powerful Flame Demon King appeared in the Western Region and invaded the mortal world, causing countless casualties. The heaven issued an edict, requiring the monks of Liuzhou Continent to eliminate the demons and restore the human world. Peace.
“So that’s the case, but I didn’t hear that Wuji and Xianyuan Mountains sent disciples to destroy demons, so why did it come to Xuanjian City. "
The city lord sighed slightly, "Xuanyuan Mountain has always been responsible for the demonic troubles in the Western Region. Whether the scale of this evil trouble is big or not, Xuanyuan Mountain has sent enough people, so Wuji and Xianyuan Mountains have not yet Can agree to form a demon slaying team to fight the demons together with Xuanyuan Mountain. It can be said that it is not small. The Balrog was born from eating the rare treasures of heaven and earth. It should not be underestimated. If there are not enough manpower, I am afraid there will be many casualties among the disciples. ”
Another fused male cultivator took over, "Xuanjian City has always advanced and retreated together with Xuanyuan Mountain, so it sent our disciples to help Xuanyuan Mountain eliminate demons and defend the way. It is really admirable."
"Excuse me. This is our responsibility. We must not be careless in exterminating demons. Only disciples who are trustworthy can participate. If a demon spy sneaks in, the consequences will be disastrous. We, Xuanjian City, can only quickly select the most capable disciples." Dear disciple, support Xuanyuan Mountain.”
The monk who spoke first poured a glass of wine, “For the City Lord’s Mansion to protect the peace of the human world, I would like to toast you with a glass of wine.”
Tang Yue and another monk also toasted to the city lord, and after a few polite words, they were finally able to eat.
The spiritual food and wine at the banquet were all very exquisite, full of color, fragrance, and characteristics of Xuanjian City. There were many well-made pastries, which to her were the most important ones in this banquet. thing. The next best thing is to establish a good relationship with the city lord.
