The pot of tea on the windowsill has been brewed for a long time, and the temperature is just right at this time.
Chu Yuzhi went to pick it up and flipped over five tea cups, all of which were half full. With a turn of his hand, the five cups of tea fell lightly into the right place.
This seat today.
Zuo Guangshu spoke very little.
As the host, Qu Shunhua entertained the guests enthusiastically, and as the host and guest, Jiang Wang also cooperated very well.
Chu Yuzhi, on the other hand, acted quite sincerely, neither hiding his affection for Ye Lan'er nor praising Jiang Wang.
However, his expression was very measured, neither arrogant nor too flattering, and always maintained a distance that would not offend anyone.
As for Yelan'er...
Jiang Wang didn't understand much and wasn't curious.
Perhaps after he also achieves the Divine Presence, he will become curious about Ye Lan'er and wonder about her strength in the Divine Presence.
While a few people were chatting, Qu Shunhua suddenly asked again: "I heard from Guangshu that Brother Jiang asked if the banquet here can be packed?"
Jiang Wang was greatly embarrassed.
He mentioned it casually to Zuo Guangshu earlier that he just habitually stocked up delicious food for An An.
Knowing that today's banquet was hosted by Duke Huai, how could he have the nerve to say "package"?
What made him even more angry was that Huangliangtai, which he came to at the same time as Zuo Guangshu, never left his sight. When did this kid tell Qu Shunhua?
Why are you saying everything?
"I asked Guangshu so much before because I was a little ignorant and didn't know where Huangliangtai was." Jiang Wang was a little embarrassed, but said sincerely: "I also wanted to bring some to my friends to try!"
"No problem, leave this matter to me." Qu Shunhua said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, when will you leave Chu, I will help you prepare."
Jiang Wang refused deliberately. If it were him, he would not accept the favor in vain.
But thinking about the beauty of this place today...
How can An An not be allowed to taste the beauty in this world?
When the words came to his lips, they became: "Then I would be disrespectful."
"Brother Jiang doesn't treat me as an outsider, that's my blessing." Qu Shunhua smiled in his eyes and asked: "We are going to have a seat anyway. How many people does Brother Jiang want?"
How many more people can be served?
Jiang Wang was overjoyed and immediately said: "For two, for two!"
Then he thought, Lingxiao Pavilion is the territory of a certain person named Ye after all, and he still needs to take care of his face, otherwise, will he frown again when we meet next time?
After thinking about this, he said: "Let's share it with three people."
Then I thought that senior Ah Chou, the Zongzong Divine Beast, had no idea what his temper was, so he should give him some face. As the saying goes, don’t worry about the scarcity but the inequality. If you invite the Pavilion Master but not the Zongzhen Divine Beast, will it happen?
What if you want to make him angry? What if you stumble An An?
So he said: "For four people. Yes, four people."
He is counting things one at a time, so if someone who is not familiar with him sees him, they will inevitably think that he is trying to take advantage of the situation and is greedy.
Qu Shunhua felt that Brother Jiang was really sweet-tempered, straightforward and cute, and chuckled: "Then it should be for five people. I guess Brother Jiang forgot to include himself."
What a good girl!
It goes so well with Guangshu!
Jiang Wang was very touched and stood up directly: "What can I say? My dear sister-in-law, I'll give you a toast with tea instead of wine!"
"Brother Jiang, don't call me that, we haven't reached that stage yet." Qu Shunhua refused, with shame on his face, but he stood up and raised his glass.
He also reached out and pushed Zuo Guangshu: "Brother Jiang has stood up, can you still sit down?"
Zuo Guangshu's ears were red, but he still stood up holding the tea cup.
This scene is very much like a newlywed couple serving tea to their elders.
Jiang Wang struck while the iron was hot: "I'm determined to call you my sister-in-law! I don't recognize anyone but you!"
Of course Ye Lan'er knew what Qu Shunhua was thinking, and he smiled when he heard this: "I heard this!"
Chu Yuzhi laughed even more and said: "I should bear witness to this statement!"
It's a banquet, and the guests and hosts in my building are enjoying themselves.
…
…
The actual meal didn't take much time, but it took a few hours to chat and drink a few bottles of wine after the meal.
Jiang Wang talked about his experiences traveling around the world, and Qu Shunhua talked about the legends of Chu. Everyone laughed and left the table.
The carriage left Huangliang Terrace, seemingly taking away the eager atmosphere.
In the carriage, Jiang Wang held Zuo Guangshu's hand and said drunkenly: "Guangshu, please listen to my brother's advice. This Shunhua is a good girl, you must not let her go."
Zuo Guangshu twitched his hand in disgust, but failed to do so: "Isn't it just a meal? Why should it be more than this! Let go of your hand first."
"How are you talking! Are you the one who wants to have a meal? Of course the banquet in Huangliangtai is really good..." Jiang Wang squeezed his hands tighter: "But brother Wei has seen Shunhua's quality.
!She’s good! Very nice!”
Zuo Guangshu stepped back to avoid spitting Xingzi: "Of course I know she is very good."
"I know, what next?" Jiang Wang sighed worriedly: "Guangshu, you should marry her sooner!"
Zuo Guangshu was silent for a moment and said, "How can you start a family if you haven't accomplished your career yet?"
Jiang Wang rolled his eyes and was very dissatisfied: "You two princes, the top dignitaries of Chu, what more achievements do you want?"
Zuo Guangshu said in a low voice: "That is the Zuo family's achievement, not mine."
"Guangshu." Jiang Wang was just threatening, but changed his tone to Huairou, and said sincerely: "I am a brother for your own good. Life is long and short. The pursuers of such a good girl are like crucian carp crossing the river.
, I don’t know how many people in the world are thinking about it! If you don’t take advantage of it now, I’m afraid you’ll regret it later!”
"I have taken good care of it." Zuo Guangshu said unconvinced: "Every time she comes back to look for me, I accompany her. I often go to look for her when I have time. Whenever I go somewhere, I never forget it.
Her gift."
Jiang Wang suffocated for a moment and then said: "I'm talking about certainty! Do you understand certainty?"
He looked sideways and said in an old-fashioned way: "Today's young people are uncertain. The world is changing so fast, and it is common for people to break up after an engagement. How can you say that you are committed to it? If you want to truly get married, you have to
Only when the identity of husband and wife is established can we be sure of it. Do you understand?"
Zuo Guangshu thought for a while and asked, "Do you understand it well?"
Lord Jiang was speechless for a moment.
"Unlucky boy!" He flicked Zuo Guangshu's hand away: "If you don't listen to big brother, you will suffer a loss in front of you. Just wait until you regret it!"
"I didn't listen." Zuo Guangshu felt aggrieved: "But I'm only sixteen years old, will I get married at sixteen?"
Lord Jiang hummed: "Sixteen is not too early. You have ambitions but not your youth, do you understand?"
"Brother Jiang, how old are you?" Zuo Guangshu asked.
The carriage drove down the long street.
Sauvignon Blanc sings in the sheath.
After three breaths, Jiang Wang decided to forget this topic completely.
"Speaking of which..." He was no longer drunk at this time and said thoughtfully: "Just now Qu Shunhua said that he was going to see Zen Master Yue... do you know who he is?"
Brother Jiang didn't say anything about getting married soon, Zuo Guangshu was happy and relaxed, and casually said: "Yue Tiannu, sister of the Qu family invited me to help with the mountain and sea realm."
Yuetiannu? This name is quite strange...
"How strong is this person?" Jiang Wang asked seriously: "Do you know what he is good at and what he is not good at?"
"The strength should not be bad, the peak of Wailou Realm..." Zuo Guangshu paused here, and said with some suspicion: "What do you want to do?"
"Analyze your opponent." Jiang Wang said matter-of-factly: "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle!"
Zuo Guangshu was shocked.
Who are these people?
Just now, I was urging Qu Shunhua and I to get married quickly, but why did we become rivals again in the blink of an eye?
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Wang stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Zuo Guangshu: "Aren't we not married yet? Then we are still two families. In the mountains and seas, we compete fairly! Tell me, what is Yuetiannu's background?
?”
Zuo Guangshu was stunned for a moment, but he still said obediently: "He is a disciple of Xiyue Temple."
"Xiyue Temple?"
"The great clan of the Northern Territory, the friendship established by the Qu family in the early years. Does Brother Jiang know about it?"
"Oh, not very familiar."
"This sect is relatively mysterious and not deeply involved in the world. Therefore, relatively speaking, its reputation is not that prominent, but its foundation is there, and it is not weak..." Zuo Guangshu explained, and then advised: "Brother Jiang, don't go
Test your skills."
"Well, since you said so."
Zuo Guangshu nodded happily and was stunned again.
Hey, are you so easy to talk to this time?
"Let's talk about the other people! I fought against Xiang Bei today. Everyone who should know must already know." Jiang Wang asked: "Who are the people participating in the Mountain and Sea Realm this time?"
"You already know each other." Zuo Guangshu said.
Jiang Wang thought for a while: "Dou Zhao, Zhong Liyan, Wu Ling, Xiang Bei, you, Qu Shunhua, Chu Yuzhi?"
Zuo Guangshu nodded.
"There are only seven admission places in the Mountain and Sea Realm?"
"The opportunity to enter the mountain and sea realm is obtained by relying on the Nine-Zhang Jade. This time there are seven of us." Zuo Guangshu said, taking out a piece of snow-white jade with phoenix patterns from his arms, and handed it to Jiang Wang: "Everyone who has
Anyone with the Nine Chapters Jade Bi can bring one person into the mountain and sea realm together with him, which is what we call a helper."
Jiang Wang took the jade and looked at it in the carriage.
This piece of jade is about the size of a palm. It is smooth and flawless, with phoenix patterns engraved on the corners. There is a faint force swimming in it, giving it a sense of agility. But if you look closely, you don't know where the power lies.
"Isn't it called Jiuzhang Jade? Why are there only seven places?" Jiang Wang asked casually.
"At first there were nine chapters, but later two chapters were lost." Zuo Guangshu explained, stretched out his hand and opened the sunroof of the carriage: "You can shine it with sunlight and look again."
Jiang Wang then put the piece of jade in the sunlight, and when he took it back, words appeared on the jade. It was a poem, engraved in Chu characters with a floral style, and the title was "Ode to Orange".
》.
Its text says
"The Empress is a beautiful tree, and the oranges are blooming.
He refused to move after being ordered to live in the southern country.
It is so deep that it is difficult to move, but it is more determined.
The lush green leaves are a joy to see..."
All the script books in the world are born to tell the Tao. Practitioners who have seen the Tao script will not be slow to learn the scripts of various countries. Jiang Wang, who has memorized "The Swordsman Cuts the Sea", will not be slow at all.
I am unfamiliar with the Chu characters used in the southern regions.
This poem is fresh and unique, and will be a masterpiece wherever it is placed.
However, Lord Jiang has no ability to appreciate poetry. He just feels...
Anyway, it’s better than Xu Xiang’s masterpiece.
That's it.
"Which chapters are missing?" Jiang Wang asked slightly curiously.
""Sorrow" and "Sorrowful Wind"."
""Sorrow"?" This title aroused Jiang Wang's interest.
Ying is the capital of Chu, the city of kings, what is there to be sad about?
"It is a tribute poem written by the sages after the Ying capital was conquered in history." Zuo Guangshu said, and couldn't help but recited: "When a bird flies back to its hometown, a fox will always be on a hill when it dies."
Jiang Wang has not yet read the history of Chu's defeat. But he can understand this poem.
Birds fly thousands of miles and eventually return to their hometown. When a fox dies, he always faces the hill where he was born.
Who can not miss his homeland?
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment.
Zuo Guangshu glanced at him secretly and asked proactively: "Do you know how to enter the mountain and sea realm?"
Jiang Wang calmed down his emotions for a moment, smiled and asked: "How to enter?"
"I told you, Taixu Illusion Realm borrows many aspects from our Chu country, including the way to enter Taixu Illusion Realm!" Zuo Guangshu said: "We will directly enter the mountain and sea realm through the Nine Chapters Jade Bi.
Isn’t it similar to entering Taixu Illusion through the Moon Key?”
"So..." Jiang Wang asked: "Is the mountain and sea realm also the place where the soul appears?"
"That's not true." Zuo Guangshu shook his head: "The realm of mountains and seas is entered by the body and soul together."
Jiang Wang smiled: "In this regard, it is the same as many secret realms."
Zuo Guangshu also laughed. Just because the way of entering the Taixu Illusion Realm is similar, it is indeed not very tenable to say that the Taixu Illusion Realm is a reference to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
"No matter where you are, can you use the Nine Chapters Jade to enter the Mountain and Sea Realm when it opens?" Jiang Wang asked.
"That should be the case." Zuo Guangshu said: "In history, there were people who lived in seclusion in Yong State to avoid disaster, and also participated in that mountain and sea battle with the help of the Nine-Zhang Jade Bi. So in theory, I took this jade bi to go to Qi State to find you.
, you can also participate in the mountain and sea realm.”
Jiang Wang smiled: "There is a chance that this piece of jade with nine chapters cannot be saved."
Zuo Guangshu also smiled: "That's the truth!"
Jiang Wang thought for a while and then said: "So, the mountain and sea realm, like the Taixu Illusion Realm, spreads across the entire world?"
"Maybe it's different." Zuo Guangshu shook his head: "But what the specific difference is, we probably have to go in to know it ourselves. After all, it's only in recent years that everyone has started to talk openly about Taixu Illusionary Realm. In the past, no one compared it with Shanhai
The situation is relatively good."
"What's the battle fatality rate in the Mountain and Sea Realm?" Jiang Wang asked again.
Zuo Guangshu shook his head: "Almost no one will die."
Jiang Wangqi said: "The physical body and the soul enter it together, how can there be no death?"
"There are rules in the mountain and sea realm. Those who are 'killed' will be eliminated." Zuo Guangshu said: "But although they will not really die, the origin of the soul will be cut off by 30%."
"Who cut it off?" Jiang Wang asked sensitively.
"It's the rules of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Anyway, everyone who dies in the Mountain and Sea Realm will have his or her soul damaged. No more, no less, 30%."
For practitioners, having the soul's origin cut off by 30% is also a very serious loss and will directly affect the path to divine arrival.
But compared to the risk of dying in battle, this outcome is undoubtedly much easier to accept...
Jiang Wang analyzed calmly: "If it is really the body and soul that enter the mountain and sea realm together, then there must be a way to completely kill the opponent so that the rules of the mountain and sea realm can't protect the dead. Otherwise you wouldn't say 'almost',
It almost means that someone really died in the mountains and seas, right?"
"..." Zuo Guangshu was confused: "Jiang, Brother Jiang, who do you want to kill?"
…
…
…
Ps: 1. "Ode to Orange", "Sorrow for Ying", and "Sorrow for the Wind" are all chapters in "Nine Chapters" written by Qu Yuan.
I borrowed it to be the key to the mountain and sea realm.
2. I am very satisfied.
In four days, everyone rewarded more than 40 alliances.
Many readers came to Qidian to re-order.
I can say that the readers of "Bare Heart" support this world more than the readers of any other book.
Looking at the monthly rankings, in just four days, the number 99 has already reached 14,000 followers.
Even if you have 10,000 followers, you won’t be able to make it into the top 100 at the beginning of the month!
Look at the comment area to see how many people are active.
What else can I say?
These four thousand words are added for all genuine readers who support this book.
It doesn’t count monthly passes, nor does it count as debt repayment.
My fight is over.
Thank you everyone.
This chapter has been completed!
