As the gate opened, the people finally stopped being silent and knelt down to kowtow.
"Shangxian! Happy Lantern Festival!"
"Exalted Immortal! Please protect the health of my whole family!"
"Good luck to the Immortal! Good luck to the Immortal!"
In an instant, Ouyang was almost stunned by all kinds of chaotic words of blessing.
What on earth is going on?!
He couldn't understand. He just let the family's children become apprentices in a low-key manner. How could it turn into this?
However, the enthusiasm of the people and the "Dongdongdong" kowtows made him have no time to think carefully, and directly threw out a spiritual light with his left hand, giving everyone a buff.
Coming!
The breeze blew by, and the buffed people finally calmed down, but although they no longer kowtowed, the fire in their hearts did not go out.
They looked at Ouyang at the gate and spoke again.
"Immortal, please send me some immortality!"
"Yes, Immortal, my old mother has severe cold in her legs. Please send down some elixir to save my old mother!"
"Immortal! My child is naughty and broke his leg. I also beg for some fairy medicine!"
The voices of thousands of people sounded at the same time, making the ancestral home a chaotic scene.
"enough!"
A not-so-severe shout sounded in the ears of the people.
The voice was not loud, but it suppressed all their words, and seemed to have an indescribable power that completely cooled down their fiery hearts.
They all raised their heads and looked at Ouyang, who was standing at the door with a solemn expression, and suddenly realized that they were about to suffer.
Liyue Seven Stars!
This is an almost huge person!
Hey young!
Don’t let what was originally a happy event turn into a funeral!
The people reacted one after another, opening their mouths to say something more but not daring to speak again.
Ouyang stood at the door. Seeing that the situation had stabilized, he calmed down the pressure on him.
He really didn't expect that the common people could break through the buff of Lin Zi Jue because he hadn't received any evidence yet, it was just a fictitious news about the Immortal, and he was so excited in his heart.
It seems that they really underestimated these people.
At the entrance of the ancestral house, the atmosphere became quiet.
Ouyang was thinking about how to make the people disperse, but the people looked at him eagerly.
At this time, Dianthus squeezed out from the crowd with difficulty.
He saw Ouyang's face sinking and came to the rescue bravely.
He knew the beginning and end of the matter. It was a good thing, and he didn't want to cause something bad to happen.
Who is Ouyang?
Liyue Seven Stars!
The common people have no idea in their minds, and they don't have many ideas, but at least they know a little bit.
Now in the entire Qianyan Army in Liyue, as long as Mr. Ouyang needs any help, everyone is willing to come and help!
The reason for this is because the new Qianyan Army reform plan has begun to be implemented.
Ouyang's reputation among the Qianyan Army was already extremely high.
"Sir, the common people just heard that a Seven-Star Lord came to the town, and it happened to be the Sea Lantern Festival, so they came here early this morning to seek good luck."
"But Leping Town is far away from Liyue Port and doesn't know much about some magic. Please don't be angry. I'll have people disperse them right away."
Dianthus' attitude was very respectful, but what she said and what she wanted to do was to make peace with her.
There was nothing he could do. In this situation, there was Lord Ouyang on one side and the common people on the other. No one would get any benefit from offending him.
We can only let our men disperse the people gathered here first, and pretend that nothing happened.
I also hope that Lord Tianshuxing will not anger him because of this matter.
After listening to Shi Zhu's words, Ouyang looked at the people who were silent but very longing in his heart, and sighed in his heart.
Forget it, blocking is worse than opening up.
Ouyang stood at the door with his hands behind his back and said calmly.
"My name is Ouyang. I am now the head of your family. I am one of the Seven Stars of Liyue. I am not an immortal."
"But the next head of my noble family will indeed become a disciple of the Immortal today."
As soon as he finished speaking, looking at the people who were getting excited again, Ouyang raised his voice and continued: "Your family is very happy today. I will have people set up a flowing table here, and I will ask all the people to enjoy it."
After saying that, he took out a money bag from his finger and pointed it towards Shizhu, who subconsciously caught it and couldn't help but look at Ouyang in surprise.
But what he saw was Ouyang who had turned around.
Uh...what are you doing for me Mora?
Reward?
Suddenly, he recalled what Ouyang had just said, and suddenly he understood.
This is to make him responsible for handling the running water banquet!
Not daring to neglect, he immediately turned around and got out of the crowd, looking for someone to get ready.
And the people were even more lively.
"Immortals! There really are immortals!"
"The flowing water mat! The flowing water mat provided by the immortal!
!”
The words awakened the dreamer. I don't know who in the crowd howled, and the people immediately woke up.
That’s right! The flowing water mat purchased by the immortal may have some miraculous effects!
People who thought of this started to run back.
"I, let me, let me, my old mother will come to me when I go back! I can't eat more of the banquet hosted by the immortal."
"I am coming too!"
"I'll go back and pick up my son!"
Soon, everyone in the ancestral home was running away.
They had forgotten what Ouyang said and automatically regarded the flowing water banquet that Ouyang wanted to hold as if it was purchased by an immortal.
And I firmly believe that eating it will bring me some immortality.
Ancestral house, inner courtyard.
Ouyang didn't know what was going on outside. He first returned to the front hall and took out all the dishes Shen He had prepared for him.
Thanks to Shen He's wife's thoughtfulness, she has packaged various snacks and dishes from restaurants in Liyue Port.
He waved his hand to three tables and placed all the dishes on them.
There are not many dishes, but as long as they are enough, these Liyue Port dishes are just some embellishments, and most of them are taken care of by the restaurants here in Deleping Town.
Then he took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a treasure pill, crushed it, and used spiritual power to control the powder and sprinkle it evenly into the dishes.
He didn't know what people outside would misunderstand, so he just made some preparations to be prepared.
As soon as this happened today, no need to think about it. After a while, the flowing water table on the street will be full of people, and people will definitely eat all the food.
This treasure pill can indeed be understood as a "miracle medicine", but it is not that magical. It just helps those people to regulate their bodies and not be harmed by eating too much.
As soon as I finished these things, I saw the uncle walking out as if he smelled something.
"My little friend, do you want to celebrate?"
"Well, by setting up a few tables of running water mats, we can have fun with the people."
Ouyang looked indifferent and replied in a nonchalant manner.
He now feels that his relationship with his uncle is very strange. To call him an enemy would be too much.
Not to that extent, not at all.
But to say they are friends... doesn't seem right.
The relationship between father and son is even more ridiculous!
Of course, given that the other party is a god, as the most basic respect, Ouyang can reluctantly be a father for once. (No!)
Get back to the point.
Seriously speaking, the relationship between the two should be somewhere between family members and friends.
The reason for saying this is that Ouyang can feel that the uncle, as a god, does not treat him condescendingly.
The two are equal to each other, which makes Ouyang very comfortable.
Just like now, he is angry in his heart, so he can not give the uncle any shame.
The uncle hit a snag and didn't take it seriously. He looked at the dishes on the table casually and said, "What are you going to do with the treasure thief group that occupied the magpie's nest yesterday?"
"Let's deal with it according to the laws of Liyue." Ouyang replied.
It's still the same as before, neither salty nor bland.
He was filled with great anger yesterday, thinking that there was something wrong within your family, but it turned out to be just a group of treasure-stealing gang members, so he didn't bother to take action himself.
It is enough to leave the security issues to Qianyan Army.
I just don’t know where Beidou has gone, and he has been gone for so long this time.
If the time was as promised, she would probably be dealing with the treasure thieves in this area by now.
Ouyang kept thinking about his own affairs, but the movements in his hands did not stop.
Waves of spiritual power melted the medicinal powders under his control.
The uncle looked at the careless Ouyang and said pointedly: "Gan Yu's report shows that you want to deal with Liyue's treasure stealing group in the future. Do you want to arrest them all?"
"Kill if you need to kill, and arrest if you need to." Ouyang glanced at the uncle inexplicably, "Is there anything wrong with this?"
"Of course there is nothing wrong with that, but I hope you remember that the purpose of punishment is not to destroy, but to educate."
Riddler again?
Ouyang stopped what he was doing and looked at the old man who seemed to be really chatting. He was a little confused as to what the other person wanted to do.
Thinking of yesterday's unexpected encounter, Ouyang became more and more certain that the uncle must have something to do, and not the so-called "just passing by"!
"What do you want to say?"
"It's nothing. It's rare to be a witness. I'll go up and have a taste of the flowing water table later."
After saying that, the uncle walked away, leaving Ouyang looking at him with a dissatisfied look on his face.
The time comes to noon.
Dianthus was very efficient, and soon twenty tables of flowing water tables were set up on the main road in Leping Town.
All the restaurants in the town were even mobilized for this purpose.
The whole street was full of people.
The news has spread, and unless they really can't come, everyone has dropped what they are doing and hurried over.
The flowing water table provided by the immortal!
Don’t worry about whether it’s true or not, it’s a free meal anyway, so it’s not a loss at all!
But more people have already made up their minds to sweep away today's banquet.
If it weren't for the rules not to pack it, many people would have been ready to grab it directly.
Squeak——
The door of the ancestral house opened, and a group of helpers carried dishes one after another and placed them on the table.
"Come on, give in, give in!"
There were shouts, and helpers from the restaurants in Leping Town brought their prepared dishes here.
Soon, a table of eight dishes was placed.
The people soon discovered that this banquet was slightly different from the previous ones, and the dishes on each table were different.
Although they all have eight dishes, there are always three or two dishes that are different.
This makes it difficult for those people who deliberately think of it as "immortal cuisine".
Of these...which one is the most immortal?!
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, unable to make up their minds for a moment.
It was almost time here. Ouyang led everyone out of the house and deliberately held Gui Chuanyu in his arms.
"Today is the day when the next generation of your family will become disciples. It coincides with the Hai Lantern Festival. On such a happy day, my family will hold a banquet here to celebrate and have fun with you all."
After saying that, Ouyang came to the main table, picked up a glass of wine and said, "I want to stop chatting. Everyone, let's have dinner!"
"Ohhhhhhh~!"
"Quick!"
"Grab! Grab quickly!"
The opening of the banquet was like the sound of a command gun, and the people surrounding the street immediately rushed forward and started to grab seats.
If everyone didn't think these dishes were extremely precious, they might have turned the table over because of the squeeze.
During the looting, Ouyang controlled his spiritual power and tried to maintain order. Fortunately, Qianyan Army also came to help, and nothing bad happened.
Mandrill stood aside, looking at the scene in front of him, and whispered: "Ignorance."
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt something was wrong.
He turned around and saw Zhongli standing next to him, looking at the scene in front of him with his arms crossed as well.
Zhongli said: "Everyone has his or her own limitations. No one is the same, let alone you and them. So eat with peace of mind and don't do unnecessary things."
"Yes, Mr. Zhongli."
Mandrill sat next to Zhongli very obediently.
The small interaction between the two was seen by Gui Chuanyu. His little eyes looked at Master and then at Zhongli, and his little head was filled with greetings.
Master seems to respect Uncle Zhongli very much?
But Ouyang didn't pay attention to them, his eyes were always paying attention to the people's reactions.
It's not because I was drugged and I was afraid that they would do something bad after taking it.
It was the reaction of these people that made Ouyang feel bad.
The situation in front of him made him feel more and more that he had rejected his child's proposal to become Zhongli's teacher yesterday.
He was just an immortal, but the people in Leping Town were almost crazy. If he really became a disciple of Zhongli...
Do you really want to be the emperor?
He glanced at the child in his arms, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think he was a person with the qualifications of an emperor.
Forget it, if you are full, you will lose. It is better to prepare for some things in advance.
I am so blessed that I recall an article from the Tao Te Ching: If you hold on to your wealth, you will not be as good as you are; if you hold on to it and sharpen it, you will not be able to keep it for a long time; if you are full of gold and jade, no one can keep it; if you are arrogant and rich, you will suffer the consequences.
.The merit is then withdrawn, which is the way of heaven.
boom--
The streets were still very lively, and those who had not grabbed a seat were looking eagerly at the people eating and drinking.
Gui Chuanyu has slipped off Ouyang's arms and ran to the master.
But Ouyang, who was standing there, saw a beam of light falling from the sky and wrapping him up.
The star that represented his zodiac sign once again bloomed with dazzling light at this moment.
The wind surrounding him became more and more gentle, and the Tao Yun lotus flowers bloomed. There were loud sounds in his ears, but unfortunately he couldn't hear them clearly.
The duration of the sudden vision feels long, but in fact it is very short.
After a few breaths, those visions dissipated.
If Ouyang hadn't clearly felt the abundant energy in the space of the life constellation at this moment, he would have thought it was an illusion.
Not only that, the streets in front of them were still busy, as if they couldn't see the light, the lotus, and the sound.
small book booth
Is this...the Tao Te Ching so monstrous?!
He stood quietly for a while, repeatedly confirming the changes in the zodiac space, and then slowly brought himself back to reality.
At the same time, Sky Island.
The cross-shaped crimson portal was opened.
The girl felt the strange energy fluctuations and said unwillingly: "Why! How could this happen?!"
"In this case, wouldn't it be even more impossible to catch him?"
Leping Town.
The lively atmosphere continues.
Many people who had not been able to grab a seat began to look at the main table.
Looking at Zhongli, Mandrill, and Gui Chuanyu, they started talking about each other.
"Well, you see, the youngest child should be the next generation head of your family as Mr. Ouyang said. Then the person he is apprenticed to is the one sitting in the middle?"
"Hiss... He's so handsome and has such a noble demeanor, maybe he really is an immortal?!"
"Not necessarily. It's obvious that the cold-faced guy's appearance is in line with the immortal's style. That kind of incompatible style is right."
"Go aside! That guy might not be an adult yet! What are you talking about!"
"You're the one talking nonsense!"
The sound of debate rang out, and many people quarreled about it.
But some people ignored the quarrels and came directly to Ouyang.
"Sir Ouyang, I am very happy today. Can you tell me who your child has become his teacher?"
The visitor was also bold enough to ask.
No way, in Liyue, not everyone may be enthusiastic about the pursuit of immortality, but they will always be curious about the legends.
After that person asked, the whole street seemed to become quiet.
The people held their breath for fear of missing a word.
Ouyang, who was still feeling the changes in himself, returned his mind after hearing this.
He didn't get angry at the other person for interrupting him. Instead, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he came to the old man who was eating vegetables in a playful manner.
With a slap on his shoulder, Ouyang said in a calm tone under the strange look in the uncle's eyes: "This is a distinguished guest of our noble family. Since you are curious about who is the immortal, I can give you a chance."
"As long as you can compete with him in drinking, I, Ouyang, will tell you who is the immortal!"
boom!
The atmosphere reached a climax with Ouyang's words!
Almost in an instant, the common people picked up their wine glasses and came to the uncle. They were so excited that they didn't say anything and simply drank it up.
That scorching gaze brought the shocked uncle back to his senses.
Ouyang?!
He looked at Ouyang, who had moved away from him, with disbelief in his eyes.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
When Ouyang saw the uncle's expression, he stopped and laughed loudly.
It’s rare to cheat an uncle, so comfortable!
I want you to always be the Riddler, and I will trick you like this if I get the chance!
But before Ouyang could finish laughing, Shi Zhu hurried to his side.
"Sir, we are extremely urgent. This is the confession of the treasure thief group captured yesterday!"
Gah?!
Like being showered with ice water in the middle of summer, Ouyang's laughter stopped abruptly.
He took the confession from Shi Zhu, with an ominous premonition in his heart, and looked at the old man sitting there unconsciously.
I saw the uncle raised the corners of his mouth and drank the wine glass in his hand.
Haha, this can be considered a tie.
Zhongli no longer paid attention to Ouyang, and accepted the toasts from all the people one by one without rejecting them.
