Once the banquet has reached this point, there is no point in continuing it.
All the guests said their goodbyes and left one after another with rather complicated feelings.
On the other hand, Qiu Jianji, who was at ease and optimistic, took the little Taoist nun Nianxin and her parents to stay in order to express his solemn thanks to Xia Tian and Headmaster Ren in person.
"Senior Brother Qiu, I'm really sorry for letting you see this joke."
Master Ren and Qiu Jianji are peers of the same age, and they have practiced Taoism together in Zhongnan Mountain since childhood, so their relationship is naturally much closer than with others.
Qiu Jianji smiled faintly and said casually: "Headmaster Ren, you're too polite. I'm the one who has been the joke for more than 20 years."
"Hey, I've heard about you too."
Headmaster Ren sighed and couldn't help but feel that he was in the same boat. "I was in a life-and-death situation at that time, so I couldn't help. I'm really sorry."
Qiu Jianji was open-minded and did not take these things to heart: "Teacher Ren, there is no need to be like this.
Everyone in the world has their own destiny, and you are not a true god, so how can you have insight into everything.
I brought my disciple and Nian Xin to stay because I wanted to say thank you to Divine Doctor Xia and Master Ren. Without you, An Xin Guan would have died."
"Pindao didn't do anything, it's all thanks to layman Xia."
Headmaster Ren didn't dare to take credit, even his own life was saved by Xia Tian, and he really didn't do anything.
When Xia Tian saw these two people approaching him, he couldn't help curling his lips: "What do you two want to do? You won't talk nonsense for a long time."
"It's not nonsense, I just want to express my gratitude."
Qiu Jianji answered with a smile.
Xia Tian said impatiently: "This is nonsense.
If you do things with benefits, cure diseases and save people, you will have already settled down.
The thank yous come and go all the time, endlessly, very annoying."
Having said this, Qiu Jianji couldn't say anything more. The little Taoist nun Nianxin and her family could only hide their gratitude in their hearts, thinking that one day they would find an opportunity to repay them.
"Senior Brother Qiu, since you have come to the mountain, don't leave in a hurry. There is no shortage of guest rooms in the Chongyang Palace. You can stay for a few days."
Headmaster Ren Chong Qiu saw the opportunity and handed over his hand, and said seriously: "Besides, there are some things that Pindao still needs your help to deal with."
Qiu didn't refuse when he saw the opportunity. He stayed here specifically because he had some considerations in this regard.
"Okay, okay."
Headmaster Ren was very happy and was about to say something else, but someone interrupted him.
"Master, how should we deal with this person?"
The Taoist Priest with thick eyebrows reached out to grab the real person Hongyang who was lying on the ground groaning silently in pain, and said to Headmaster Ren: "He comes from the Little Immortal Realm. I'm afraid it will be a disaster to keep him. It's better to kill him with a knife to avoid future troubles."
He said this so loudly that everyone who stayed in the hall couldn't help but look over.
"That's a strange thing to say."
Shi Chun had a simple mind and subconsciously replied: "If you kill him, then you will have a deadly feud with Xiaoxianjie, and the consequences will be even greater."
When the thick-browed Taoist priest heard this, he couldn't help but glared at Shi Chun: "What do you know, a kid?"
"Hey, I'm not a child, I'm an adult already."
Shi Chun glared back in displeasure, "Also, adults would only reply like this when they can't speak to children."
"you!"
The thick-browed Taoist priest couldn't hold back his temper. He just wanted to yell and scold Shi Chun, but he met Xia Tian's careless eyes and was immediately silenced.
Xia Tian said with a smile: "If you want to kill him, you don't have to ask. Just take him down secretly and find a place where no one is around to kill him."
"This person offended me, Chongyang Palace, and I have no personal grudge against him. Why should I kill him?"
The thick-browed Taoist priest argued.
"Idiots are idiots."
Xia Tian looked contemptuous and said lazily: "I want to kill him but I am afraid of being resented by the people in the fairy world, so I want to play the trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife. Who do you think is stupider than you here?"
Headmaster Ren looked at Taoist Master Nongmei for a while and said meaningfully: "Dan Chen, I have trusted you so much that I entrusted you with all affairs inside and outside Zhongnan Mountain during the retreat.
However, the forbidden land of Zhongnan Mountain has become a sieve. Many forces have taken root there and almost destroyed my spiritual veins of Zhongnan Mountain. How do you explain it?"
The thick-browed Taoist priest opened his mouth, but said nothing.
"That's all."
Headmaster Ren sighed and waved his hand: "In view of the relationship between master and apprentice for many years, I don't hold too much responsibility as a teacher. You went down the mountain by yourself, leaving the word "Dan Chen" behind. Take your common name and go back to the world.
.”
The thick-browed Taoist priest suddenly raised his head and asked in disbelief: "Master, are you going to expel me from the master?"
"You can stay in the mountain if you want. Then we'll deal with it according to the sect's rules."
Headmaster Ren snorted coldly, "You are banned from cultivation, stripped of your clothes, and sentenced to stay in an ice room for seven or forty-nine days. Do you think you can survive?"
Unexpectedly, the thick-browed Taoist priest actually kowtowed and replied loudly: "This disciple is willing to be punished."
"Everyone, what do you think of this?"
Headmaster Ren was very surprised and couldn't help but look at Qiu Jianji, Xia Xia, Zhang Mingtuo and others, obviously seeking their opinions.
"This is your Chongyang Palace's internal affairs, I won't care about it."
Zhang Mingtuo was still drinking wine and admiring the moonlight, too lazy to deal with this kind of thing.
Xia Tian was even less interested, and said lazily: "If you don't have anything to do, just leave. I still have to go to bed with the little long-legged girl and the pure girl."
Ning Ruirui couldn't help but correct her: "It's you who sleeps with you. Chunchun and I will sleep together."
"It doesn't matter, it's all the same."
Xia Tian said with a smile.
Shi Chun hugged Ning Ruirui's slender waist and raised his eyebrows at Xia Tian with a proud look on his face.
Obviously, Xia Tian and the three of them are not interested in how Headmaster Ren will deal with the thick-browed Taoist Priest.
However, Qiu Jianji said a kind word for Taoist Priest Nongmei at this time: "Senior nephew Yue, there is no merit but hard work in these years.
What happened to Xiaoxianjie and Gao Jianfeng were all evil causes that were planted decades ago. It is not appropriate to blame them all on him. It is better to give him a chance to change his ways."
"Since Senior Brother Qiu speaks for you, let's deal with it according to the sect rules."
Headmaster Ren suddenly waved his robe, raised his hand and knocked away the thick-browed Taoist Priest.
The bushy-browed Taoist priest opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of hard work, then fell to the ground slumped, but still said loudly: "Thank you, Master, for showing mercy."
"Take him to the ice room, and no one will let him out until seven, seven, forty-nine days!"
The palm that Headmaster Ren just struck only sealed most of Taoist Priest Nongmei's cultivation, turning him into an ordinary person. As for whether he can survive the forty-nine days, it depends on his destiny.
Soon, Taoist Priest Nongmei was taken down by two Quanzhen Taoist priests.
Zhang Mingtuo held a bottle of wine in his hand, stood up and walked to Master Hongyang, who was still twitching silently, and said to Headmaster Ren: "Your disciple, it's okay to say that the real trouble is this person, how to deal with it."
Qiu Jianji couldn't help but frown, and said with some worry: "If he is really the envoy sent by Xiaoxian Realm, then we really can't kill him, but we can't let him leave just like that.
For a while, there really is no way to have both ends."
"There are not many ways to achieve both ends in this world."
Headmaster Ren quickly made up his mind and said calmly: "Regardless of whether he is an envoy from the Immortal Realm or not, since he dares to peek into my Zhongnan Mountain spiritual veins, he deserves what he deserves.
If the little fairy world comes to my Zhongnan Mountain with a grudge because of this, then the poor path of cause and effect will take over!"
I have to say that Headmaster Ren is still somewhat responsible. If he doesn't take over this cause and effect, then it will naturally be Xia Tian who will bear the grudge in the Little Immortal Realm.
But Xia Tian is his and Zhong Nanshan's great benefactor, how could he let Xia Tian bear such consequences after saving them.
Zhang Mingtuo naturally saw through Headmaster Ren's thoughts, and was a little worried about the future of Zhongnan Mountain, but he did not stop it, because this was the responsibility that Chongyang Palace had to bear, and because of Headmaster Ren's responsibility, he felt that he had no way to save him in the first place.
Wrong person.
"Okay, okay.
Why are you talking so tragically?"
Zhang Mingtuo laughed loudly, holding the wine bottle and leaning back and forth between Headmaster Ren and Qiu Jianji, "Come on, come on, it's moonlight like this, it would be a waste not to drink. You two drink with me."
Headmaster Ren and Qiu Jianji did not refuse, so the three old men went to drink and chat together.
In summer, Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun walked along the mountain road towards their residence.
"The moonlight is so beautiful."
Shi Chun raised his eyes and looked at the full moon in the sky, and said with a sigh: "It's almost the middle of the month, and the moon should be full by then."
What Ning Ruirui was thinking about was the Little Fairy World. According to what they had learned before, the full moon was when the entrance to the Little Fairy World appeared.
"Little long-legged girl, it's getting so late, let's go to bed early."
Xia Tian approached Ning Ruirui with a smile and said, "Go to bed early and get up early, so you will be in good shape."
"Brother-in-law, you said it wrong."
Shi Chun was stunned for a moment, then corrected: "It's obviously 'early to bed and early to rise for good health', do you think we haven't heard this saying?"
Xia Tian couldn't help but glance at Shi Chun: "Girl Chun, I didn't say anything vulgar, I just said my truth."
"What's your point? You just want to take advantage of Sister Ruirui."
Shi Chun wrinkled his nose and exposed it ruthlessly.
Xia Tian curled his lips: "It sounds like you don't want to take advantage of it."
"That's different, I'm a girl."
Shi Chun retorted confidently, and then his face changed, "Brother-in-law, you don't want to eat Sister Ruirui tonight, do you?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Xia Tian yawned lazily.
"Of course it does matter, just add me."
Shi Chun said excitedly: "However, I won't participate in the war, I will just visit... Ah, Sister Ruirui, why are you beating me?"
Ning Ruirui's pretty face turned red. She was convinced by this pair of gangsters and said angrily: "I will sleep alone tonight. Chunchun, you can find another room by yourself. None of you can sneak in, otherwise you won't be able to sneak in."
Blame me for falling out."
"Hey, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, look at it, now I have no chance even if I get hurt."
Shi Chun put his chin on his hands and sighed with some disappointment.
At this time, Xia Tian and the three of them had already reached the door of their respective rooms.
"Um, Xia Tian, come to my room."
Ning Ruirui was about to open the door and go in, but suddenly the things she encountered while taking a bath flashed through her mind, so she shouted to Xia Tian.
Xia Tian was still a little disappointed, but now his eyes suddenly widened. In less than half a second, he carried Ning Ruirui into the room like a ghost and locked the door.
Shi Chun was left confused, feeling as if he had been abandoned.
