The morning mist filled the mountains, covering hundreds of miles in radius. It was a sunny day in early September, and there was a joyful atmosphere both inside and outside Piaomiao Peak.
Big flaming red lanterns surround the mountain. Eighteen red lines are drawn out from the main peak of Piaomiao. They are spread directly across the Jiuyuntai of the three peaks to the peaks of Lingqiao and Jiuge. The momentum is absolutely magnificent.
The mountains are full of green bamboos and blooming flowers, and all kinds of martial arts practitioners shuttle among them. It's like a vast ocean with no end as far as the eye can see.
In front of the palace gate, the huge square has been covered with red sandalwood incense tables, surrounding the majestic palace and stretching eastward.
At the beginning of September, the big day of Jiu Qimu's birthday banquet has arrived. Today, there are many guests coming from north to south, including ghosts and snake gods from Jingzhou to the entire Qixia Realm, and even the close friends Jiu Qimu made in Jiujie Mountain.
Strong men and powerful men appeared one after another. After a five-day banquet, the martial arts practitioners wandering around the gardens finally gathered together, waiting for the auspicious moment to come and congratulate Mr. Jiu Qimu on his birthday.
When it was almost an hour before the birthday celebration, Piaomiao Peak was already overcrowded, but despite the countless martial arts cultivators who came to celebrate the birthday, the square in front of the mountain gate seemed very orderly.
There are eighteen roads up the mountain, and the winding paths are quiet and quiet. Although there are many people, there are no signs of congestion. Guests from all over the place come to sit in front of the mountain gate one after another under the orderly arrangements of the disciples of Zizaigong, and all of them follow the etiquette list.
The identity and cultivation level left behind by the master are drawn up.
In this kind of occasion, the value of cultivation must be reflected. No matter which sect leader you are or how noble your status is, when you arrive at the scene, you must accept the arrangements of Zizi Palace, and only those who are strong enough can sit near the front.
There is a special area on the left side of the square in front of Zizai Palace, where the Jiu family arranges some distinguished guests. There are no restrictions there. For example, Mu Yanzhe and Mu Huachang from Haoyuan are arranged there.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Jiu Yingming of the Jiu family, together with Jiu Kuangjie and his nephew Jiu Kuangren, greeted and escorted them off in front of the Zizai Palace. They were very busy, and some distinguished guests with special status were sitting on the left.
There was a special area waiting for the banquet to begin, and the entire square seemed very busy and orderly.
Because the banquet was about to start and all preparations had been completed, all the guests were sitting in front of the mountain gate, waiting for Jiu Qimu to appear.
At this time, the martial arts cultivators present on the top of the mountain are basically all top masters. Not to mention all of them are in the Chengdao realm. At least they are not as strong as the middle and late stages of Miaodu, leaving only those with relatively low strength.
They are arranged all the way to the back according to their personal cultivation. There is a saying in the Hongtu world called a banquet.
Because it speaks with strength, this method is the fairest and most reasonable, and will not cause dissatisfaction among the guests. Moreover, at this time, the host hosting the banquet has too many trivial matters, and the guests will not come forward to disturb him.
After all, it was just a formality. In the previous three days of the banquet, some of the guests had already decided who they wanted to see or do whatever they wanted to do. All they had to do was go through this formality and after Jiu Qimu appeared, they shouted "congratulations to the old palace master Jiu" at the same time.
If longevity and heaven are equal, the banquet will be over.
But at this moment, Mu Yanzhe found Jiu Yingming out of desperation.
Why?
Because he can't find his daughter.
"Brother Jiu."
"Oh, Brother Mu, there are too many trivial matters. Don't worry if I didn't go over to visit you." Jiu Yingming pretended to apologize first.
"No, no." Mu Yanzhe quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Jiu, have you seen my little girl?"
"Miss Mu, no? What's wrong? Is she not here?" Hearing this, Jiu Yingming pretended to be stunned for a moment, then turned around and called Kuangren Jiu: "Madman, madman, come here."
The dove madman ran over and said, "Dad, what's going on?"
"Let me ask you, where did you go after enjoying the flowers in Muyuan with Miss Mu yesterday?" Jiu Yingming asked.
Madman Jiu glanced at Mu Yanzhe and said, "After appreciating the flowers, Miss Mu went back. What? Did something happen?"
Jiu Yingming said: "Now that I ask you, I just can't find Miss Mu. Think about it carefully, where did Miss Mu go?"
"This..." Kuangren Jiu pretended to be puzzled and said, "I don't know either. Miss Mu later said that I wanted to accompany her when she wanted to go shopping, but she said no, so I sent her to Qinghe Pond and left.
I haven’t seen Sister Mu since then. Dad, what happened?”
"Miss Mu can't be found. Hurry up and go to each garden in person and ask the disciples below to look around. Go quickly." Jiu Yingming quickly ordered.
As for Mu Yanzhe, knowing that the Jiu family and his son were the busiest at this time, when he heard this, he felt a little embarrassed, so he said: "Ah, no need, no need, maybe the little girl is playful and forgets
When the time comes, the two of you have to prepare a banquet, and there are many trivial matters, so Mu should go find them in person."
Hearing this, Jiu Yingming took Mu Yanzhe's hand and said with a smile: "Brother Mu, Piaomiao Peak is not big or small. Maybe Miss Mu is on the mountain, or wandering around the Nine Pavilions of Lingqiao.
It's nothing, don't worry."
After hearing this, Mu Yanzhe smiled and said in greeting: "Haha, this is the sect's holy place in the Freedom Palace. Of course nothing will happen. It's just that this child is very willful and will cause trouble to Brother Jiu."
"Hey, Brother Mu, what are you talking about? Are we still outsiders due to the relationship between my father and your father? If you are strolling in your own garden and talking about whether it is troublesome or not, Brother Mu, you are obviously an outsider." Jiu Yingming pretended.
said.
Mu Yanzhe was concerned about Mu Huachang's safety and didn't want to talk any more, so he bowed down and said, "Okay, you two are busy, I'll walk around."
"Please, please, Wu Xiao, come here and walk around with Brother Mu, look for the nearest garden, and see where Miss Mu is." Jiu Yingming did not accompany him personally, but he also found a confidant to accompany him.
Mu Yanzhe went to find Mu Huachang.
And just after the two left, Kuangren Jiu sneered, and leaned next to Jiu Yingming and said, "Dad, Mu Yanzhe won't make trouble, right?"
Jiu Yingming glanced at his son, and said with a cold breath at the corner of his mouth: "Tsk, what trouble did he make? He doesn't know where Mu Huachang went. Now he is just anxious. The banquet will start in an hour.
, and the banquet only has one hour to end. When the guests have dispersed, we will send someone to pretend to look for him, and then let the sword demon go back to kill Mu Huachang and transport the body back. By then, everything will be empty.
After retrieving his body, he said that Cheng Kong had evil intentions, but he had to believe it even if he didn’t believe it.”
The dove madman laughed, raised his thumb and said, "Dad is still smarter."
"Okay, stop flattering and go greet the guests. By the way, have the wine pourers been arranged?"
"Don't worry, it has been arranged a long time ago. Oh, by the way, Dad, I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
"I think it's a bit redundant that grandpa has to drink every time he celebrates his birthday. How about this? Let's just let grandpa have a drink this time and pay tribute to the guests. We'll skip the wine from our own family, and then we'll have some fun.
The show is in the front row and ends early. What do you think?"
Jiu Yingming thought for a while and said: "Okay, let's do as you say. Anyway, the current master of Zizi Palace is not your grandfather, so it seems redundant to do so many etiquettes. We, father and son, have been exhausted these days, so hurry up and give them
They send it off so that they can go and check the gift list later, which is the main business."
"Hehe, that's what I thought."
"This boy."
The two father and son took advantage of Mu Yanzhe's visit to Mu Huachang to chat for a few words, and then they went about their duties and went on to the next step of the birthday banquet.
But at this time, Jiu Kuangjie, who was anxiously going to the room, was entertaining guests not far away while looking around with his eyes, and kept mumbling: "Where the hell did this guy go?"
?”
…
At the same moment, Xuan Zhong disguised himself as an ordinary Jiuge disciple and met outside Xiaoyao Valley. In the endless forest, there were rows of rows of houses, and in the gaps between these houses or inside the houses,
A large number of people are gathering.
"The Shougu disciple of Xiaoyao Valley is from Wangyuan Lin Jiang Chengshan. Please cheer me up later. Our manpower is limited. Once the war starts, we must take control of Xiaoyao Valley within a stick of incense. Mr. Liu
, Mo Lao will follow me later. The other party doesn’t know that we are going to cause trouble. There are definitely not many experts. In one round, clear out everyone inside. Tianjue, your task is to wait and see what happens with Wang Hai. As long as we successfully capture
Xiaoyao Valley, immediately arrange for Xiao Yue’s disciples to set up the formation, don’t give the other side a chance to counterattack, do you understand?”
"Brother, don't worry, everything has been arranged."
"Yeah." After Xuan Zhong finished speaking, he glanced at the disciples of Xiaoyue Sect, and then said: "Okay, everyone is ready."
At this time, Huang Tianjue came over and whispered: "Brother, where is the second brother? Why didn't I see him?"
Xuan Zhong said in a deep voice: "Don't ask too much, your second brother will be here. Although our manpower is limited this time, the victory lies in the fact that the enemy is overt and we are covert. Don't mess around. Just do what you need to do."
…
On the other side, Spirit Beast Valley.
After five cups of rice, Shangguan Ruofan and others gathered together and surrounded outside the valley. The team of only four thousand people seemed to be very large, but it was still slightly inferior to the tens of thousands of horses in Kuangren Pavilion.
"I heard that Feng Xiaozi is missing?" Fan Wudou asked while sitting deep in the woods looking at Mrs. Hongxing.
"Well, the person disappeared on the second day of the birthday party." Mrs. Hongxing said in a calm tone.
"Is nothing wrong?" Fan Wudou asked worriedly.
"Probably, no." Mrs. Hongxing sighed: "That boy has a lot of ideas. He must have been tripped up by something, otherwise he wouldn't have come. We don't need to worry about him. At the beginning, we
I don't plan to take him with me, so everything should go according to plan, but this matter can't be spoken out, Ruofan, do you hear me? Everything should go according to plan, don't mess around."
