The fact that so many people enter the mountains from here means that this place is the closest to their destination.
The reason why there are so many congratulatory guests is not just because Hong Teng has great reputation, but also because he is the daughter of a state pastor.
In terms of status, Lu Kai was higher than Hong Teng. There were many sites like Jian Yuan Mountain in Luan Prefecture under Lu Kai's jurisdiction, and his beloved Mingyue was considered to be married off.
Yu Qing couldn't figure out who the visitors were, so he just watched Qin Jie and others go away, wondering why these guys were here.
When he thought about the four million taels he had lost, he felt a little itchy. If not, he would not have come here to worry about it.
All the congratulatory gifts were picked out, and Meng Wei left four people to take the car away and settle it down.
Although the remaining four people were strong and strong, they were all ordinary people. Except for Yu Qing and the other three, all the remaining people were from Bihai Shipping Company. The reason for recruiting porters was purely to deceive others.
Twenty porters carried twelve loads of gifts. Two people carried the sliding pole and carried You Lingluo into the mountain. The remaining six porters took turns for the whole team, excluding the three escorts from Yu Qing.
Yu Qing and the other three felt that they were doing well, and they looked energetic and tried their best along the way.
Nanzhu, in particular, became very serious again, and the preaching mode of being a teacher started again. He almost kept talking, carrying a big stick over the mountains and ridges without being able to keep his mouth shut, and caught the porters chattering non-stop.
, how many people in the family, etc., the most disgusting thing is to teach others how to behave.
I even worry about whether it's hot or not, and whether I should take off a piece of clothing.
Speaking of which, Nanzhu's voice was the only one left during the journey, and none of the porters wanted to pay attention to him.
Meng Wei didn't want to look back, and You Lingluo seemed to have listened to the lullaby and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Yu Qing was convinced by this senior brother. He could talk nonsense to a beautiful woman like Tie Miaoqing, and he could even continue chatting with these rough guys. It was impossible not to be convinced. I really don't know how he and others had so much in common.
Look at the other Mu Aotie, he can't even beat a fart with a stick.
In the past, there was a second senior brother, Gao Yunjie, who acted as a mediator between the two of them in the temple, but I didn't feel anything. Now, I feel more and more that these two senior brothers are two extremes.
Walking along the trails that have been trodden by people, the deeper you go into the mountains, the more tranquil the mountain scenery becomes, the more towering trees there are, and the more common you see trees that are too big for several people to hug.
Generally speaking, the speed of the group was quite fast, and from time to time they would overtake other groups of congratulators who stopped to rest.
Keep walking, even though there are people reserved to take turns carrying the load, there will still be occasional breaks along the way.
The group walked until dark, holding torches and continuing to move forward. They often encountered demon cultivators who were interrogating them.
It was not until the beginning of Haishi that a brightly lit place was seen in the mountains, and the destination of this trip was Yuanshan.
The group set out early in the morning and didn't walk until late in the evening. The road was not very far, but it was not easy to walk and it was quite time-consuming.
It was dark and I could no longer see the appearance of Yuanshan Mountain clearly. I only felt that the mountain was very high. On the way up the mountain, there was the sound of gurgling water or the rumbling sound of waterfalls from time to time.
The road on the mountain is already relatively easy to walk. There are steps all the way and there are occasional pavilions in the mountain. It seems to be no different from the human world.
In order to welcome visitors, many lanterns were hung on the road.
Climbing up to a large platform on the mountainside, the eyes of the sweaty people suddenly brightened. In the brightly lit scene, the pavilions and pavilions shaded by ancient trees looked like a fairyland.
There are high steps that look like a ladder leading directly to the top of the mountain. There are lights and colorful lights all the way, and a palace-like existence can be vaguely seen above.
There were already guests waiting at the entrance. Meng Wei presented a gift list and congratulated him. Immediately, the demon cultivator from Yuanshan came over and carried away all the congratulatory gifts.
You Lingluo, Meng Wei and the two guards were regarded as the main guests and were invited to the upper level. It was said that Hong Teng was hosting the banquet in person.
"Brothers, you have worked hard all the way. Please come and take a seat. We have enough food and wine. Feel free to eat and drink. You are welcome."
A demon cultivator invited Yu Qing and others to sit down.
These coolies are not qualified to go up there, so they can only go to the flowing water table in front of them, but it is quite good to be treated like this. Under ordinary circumstances, how could Yuanshan take them seriously?
The big day is tomorrow, and the flowing water table has been laid out today.
There is no way, it is inconvenient to enter the mountain. Guests need to arrive one day in advance, otherwise they will not be able to catch the wedding banquet tomorrow.
The guests followed the host, and the three brothers first threw the sticks they were holding into the grass, and then followed the others to find a few tables to eat and drink. The food and wine tasted pretty good.
"Thanks everyone for your hard work, eat more, eat more."
Nanzhu, who had a mute voice, greeted everyone. He talked too much along the way and made his voice mute.
After drinking and eating, a group of people sat and waited for a long time before they saw You Lingluo and others coming down, and then took them down the mountain. A demon cultivator led them to the house where they stayed at the bottom of the mountain. The three brothers hurriedly walked out of the grass.
Picked up his stick.
According to their number, they were given a yard with more rooms.
Even though there were more rooms, servants like Yu Qing could not share a room with each other. The twenty or so people were divided into four rooms and slept on the same bunk.
As soon as the bedding was laid out, Meng Wei appeared at the door and said hello, "Niu Youqing, come here."
Yu Qing responded and walked away.
Meng Wei pointed at Nanzhu and Mu Aotie who were also going to follow, "I didn't call you."
The two had no choice but to stop.
Meng Wei took Yu Qing directly to the study room in the guest house, where You Lingluo was sitting upright behind the case, waiting under a dim light.
"Sir." Yu Qing greeted him politely.
You Lingluo pointed to the chair next to her, "Sit."
Yu Qing waved his hand, "No, no, no, just tell me if you have any orders."
You Lingluo didn't force any more and said silently: "On the way, I saw that you are quite smart and diligent, and you are also literate. I am determined to train you. If there is an opportunity, would you like to go to Yin State with me?"
Yu Qing was stunned, "The younger one is from Jin State, why are you going to Yin State?"
You Lingluo: "You are still too young to bear the heavy responsibility. The head office of Bihai Shipyard is in Yin State, which allows you to learn more things. When you learn well, the local shipyard can be managed by you.
Yes, don’t you want to?”
Seeing Yu Qing's hesitation, Meng Wei on the side intervened, "It's really your husband who has taken a fancy to you. This is a good opportunity that no one can ask for."
Yu Qingdun was made a little uncomfortable. He didn't want to take charge of some shipping company in this poor place, but the reality was that it was difficult for him to refuse. He was a coolie and had such a good opportunity in front of him. It would be too abnormal for him to refuse.
Already.
After thinking about it, I had to hesitate and said: "Sir, Yin State is too far away. I have to go back and discuss it with my family before making a decision."
Meng Wei immediately looked at You Lingluo's reaction. You Lingluo smiled without forcing it, "Okay, then think about it again. You are tired after running around all day, so go back and rest first."
"Yes." Yu Qing immediately resigned.
After he left, Meng Wei, who had been waiting at the door for a while, quickly returned to the desk and said in a low voice: "Sir, why bother with him? When the matter here is over, you might as well kidnap him to the State of Yin."
You Lingluo sighed: "It would be nice if it was as simple as you said. Some things cannot be forced and require his own willingness. Forget it, let's take care of the immediate things first. What on earth is this kid here to do?
, you need to keep an eye on him, the breakthrough in this trip might be him."
Meng Wei: "Sir, don't worry, the coolies with them are all our people. The three of them are trapped in our crowd, and their every move is being watched even when they sleep."
…
The top of Jian Yuan Mountain is half hollowed out, and the excavated mountain walls are integrated with the brick and wood structure, which is quite impressive.
According to reports from various places, there were no guests here today. Hong Teng stood up with his back on the long desk. He had a strong body, round eyes and a golden beard.
After explaining some things, he walked up the stairs smelling of alcohol and entered the highest palace.
There is also a stone door behind the main hall. It was pushed open and then closed with a buzzing sound. Inside was a cave. Hong Teng looked straight for the beautiful maid who had been waiting on the bed for a long time.
The beautiful body on the couch was in a sultry posture. Hong Teng rushed up to play with it, but found that there was no response. He felt something was wrong. When he checked, he found that she had been restrained and had fallen into a coma. He was shocked, and then he woke up and looked around.
When he ducked into the side room, he found someone sitting behind the desk.
He is a well-groomed man with a jade face and purple gold crown, red lips and a hooked nose, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He is handsome and quiet. He is dressed in a black cloak. He leans on the back of the chair and flips through the book, looking fascinated.
Hong Teng was just about to yell at who it was, but when he saw the face of the person clearly, panic flashed in his eyes. He took a few steps forward and asked anxiously: "Are you...are you the third cave master of Qianliu Mountain?"
The man slowly turned the pages of the book, without even raising his eyes, and said calmly: "Have you and I seen it?"
"You haven't seen the little demon. It was the little demon who was lucky enough to catch up with you, Third Master, when he went to Haishi." After Hong Teng finished speaking, he took two steps forward and knelt down on one knee, "Little Demon Hong Teng, I would like to meet you, Third Master."
Lord!"
In my heart, I was actually shocked and confused. I didn't know how the other party came in, let alone what the other party meant by appearing here.
The man known as the Lord of the Third Cave put down the book in his hand and looked at him, "I heard that you are going to have a big wedding, so I came here to congratulate you."
Hong Teng sweated a little, this was a person who didn't even dare to make a mistake in front of a big demon. He was nothing in front of others, and said in fear: "Don't dare, it's just a trivial matter, it's not worth alarming the Third Master. Third."
When I come here, I must have some instructions, and I also ask Third Master to make it clear that if the little demon can be used in any way, he will go through fire and water without any hesitation!"
"Get up and talk."
"yes."
After the person stood up, the Third Cave Master asked: "Have you ever heard of the fact that the Great Sage took action and forced Earth Mother to kill one of her disciples, and then Earth Mother took in two more female disciples?"
Suddenly jumping to such a high-level figure, Hong Teng looked solemn and replied: "Such a big event, it is difficult for the little demon not to hear about it."
Third Cave Master: "Do you know the identities of the two new female disciples Earth Mother has accepted?"
Hong Teng thought for a while, "I heard that one is named Zhong Ruochen and the other is named Wen Ruowei. They are biological sisters. One takes his father's surname and the other takes his mother's surname. They are both the daughters of a wealthy businessman named Zhong in the capital. And that Zhong Ruochen was once
There is a fiancé who is none other than the world-famous great talent, the newly discovered beauty Ash Heng. For some reason, Zhong Ruochen regretted the marriage and abandoned it due to Ash Heng. Third Master, this is what the little demon knows. Is there any mistake?"
