The Grand Master brought the Blood Demon and his party to the mansion.
The Grand Master is a person who believes in ghosts and gods. The Blood Demon is "calling for wind and rain" in Yunzhou in public. The Grand Master is really sorry that he could not witness it with his own eyes. The Grand Master now believes that the Blood Ancestor was a person from two hundred years ago.
It is also believed that the Blood Ancestor possesses the art of immortality.
For the dying Taishi, who was full of fear of death and longed for immortality, it was like grasping at a life-saving straw.
The guests and hosts were seated, Bei Mo, Snake Sword Laojun, and Yu Bei Xue stood behind the Blood Demon.
The grand master tremblingly served the tea himself.
The Blood Demon said: "The grand master personally serves tea, I really don't dare to do so."
Although the Blood Demon said this, he reached out and took the tea, feeling very relieved.
The Grand Master excitedly said to the Blood Demon: "Blood Ancestor, although I am old, in front of you, I am still a child of the younger generation. Therefore, you can bear this, Tea Blood Ancestor."
The blood demon smiled, and the demonic face became even more elusive.
He could see that the old master believed him completely.
The Blood Demon said: "Indeed, I woke up after sleeping for two hundred years. The blue sea turned into mulberry fields. So everyone in the world can be regarded as my descendant. In another two hundred years, I will still not change. I don't know what will happen to the world by then.
What does it look like? Alas, immortality is also a worry for me..."
Everyone longs for immortality, but it is the Blood Ancestor who is troubled.
This really makes the grand master who dreams of immortality extremely envious.
The Grand Master originally believed in ghosts and gods, and now that he is old, he is a little confused. He firmly believed what the Blood Demon said. The Grand Master stood up excitedly regardless of his dignity.
He held the table, bent his knees, and trembled slightly, as if he was about to kneel down to the blood demon.
Eyes full of longing.
The Taishi said: "Blood Ancestor, I... I also want to live forever. I won't worry about it! Please help me, please help me! As long as the Blood Ancestor succeeds, I will follow the Blood Ancestor from now on..."
The Blood Demon said: "The Grand Master treats me so kindly, of course I will make the Grand Master immortal. However, I have to ask the Grand Master to speak kindly for me in front of the Emperor."
The Blood Ancestor promised to make the Grand Master immortal, and the Grand Master was ecstatic. If no one else was present, he would have knelt down in front of the Blood Ancestor.
The Grand Master said: "I will definitely put in a good word for the Blood Ancestor, and I will definitely... I will also hold a... big banquet to welcome the Blood Ancestor. I will also let the officials see the Blood Ancestor's style. They also admire the Blood Ancestor!"
This is exactly what the Blood Demon wants.
The Blood Demon just wants more officials to regard themselves as "gods" like the Grand Master.
The Blood Demon smiled and said: "Everything is arranged by the Grand Master."
So that night the Grand Master held a banquet to welcome the Blood Demon.
He also sent out dozens of requests for remonstrance and invited all the prominent officials in the court.
Since the Grand Master was highly respected in the court, the officials also gave him face. Moreover, the officials also wanted to get in close contact with the god-man Blood Ancestor, and then build a relationship with the Blood Ancestor.
Because the temptation of immortality is too great!
Those officials who had not received the Grand Master's invitation were extremely disappointed and depressed.
That night, Shangguan Minghong, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, the Taiwei, the Minister of Dali Temple and other invited officials all came.
There are more than 60 officials at all levels.
The officials surrounded the Blood Demon like stars holding the moon, and greeted him warmly, hoping to leave a good impression on the Blood Demon.
Only Shangguan Minghong performed just right.
Neither cold nor overly enthusiastic.
When the Grand Master introduced Blood Demon to Shangguan Minghong, Shangguan Minghong nodded and said, "I've admired him for a long time."
After the Grand Master introduced the officials to the Blood Demon, the officials entered the banquet and sat down one after another according to their rank.
Prime Minister Lu is not yet in the future.
Once the meeting is over, it is inconvenient for the banquet to begin.
Everyone was chatting and waiting for the landing.
After a meal, someone suddenly shouted loudly outside the banquet hall: "The Prime Minister is here!"
Following the sound, Lu Xiang walked into the banquet hall.
After all, Prime Minister Lu was the prime minister of the dynasty. As soon as he entered the hall, all the officials stood up with a roar.
It also allowed the Blood Demon to see Prime Minister Lu's position in the court.
Perhaps this is why Prime Minister Lu arrived late.
Let the Blood Demon know that he is not someone to be trifled with.
All the officials stood up, and the Blood Demon slowly stood up as well.
A pair of unfathomable light red eyes looked at Xiang Lu.
Prime Minister Lu first nodded to the officials and then walked to the main table.
Prime Minister Lu didn't look at the blood demon. He smiled and cupped his hands towards the Grand Master and said, "I'm late because of important matters. Please forgive me, Grand Master."
The Grand Master smiled and said, "My Prime Minister is serious. I'm glad that you can come, Prime Minister. Since the Prime Minister has given up the punishment, it's better to be respectful than obey your orders. I will punish the Prime Minister with a few large glasses of wine in a moment."
Prime Minister Lu said: "I am willing to accept the punishment."
Then the Grand Master introduced the Blood Demon to Prime Minister Lu.
Only then did Prime Minister Lu turn his attention to the Blood Demon.
The two looked at each other with four eyes, the blood demon's eyes were mysterious and unpredictable, and Prime Minister Lu's eyes were deep.
At that moment, both of them seemed to feel the invisible power emanating from each other.
How did the officials and the Grand Master know that Prime Minister Lu and the Blood Demon had already had a secret contest?
Now the two of them regard each other as a serious enemy.
The Blood Demon spoke first, and he said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I have admired the reputation of Prime Minister for a long time, and I am truly lucky to see him today."
Prime Minister Lu also said politely: "Mr. Xue prayed for rain in Yunzhou and benefited the people. I also admire him from the bottom of my heart. I can't wait to meet you soon and have a glimpse of your style. When I met you today, you are indeed otherworldly."
The Blood Demon said: "Master Xiang has given me a reward."
Prime Minister Lu changed the subject again and said, "I have a question, and I would like to take the liberty of asking you, sir."
The Blood Demon said: "Excuse me, Prime Minister."
Prime Minister Lu said: "The Grand Master and all the officials treat Mr. Xue sincerely, but why does Mr. Xue treat him with a mask? And it's a monster mask. This makes me puzzled..."
The officials here are not fools. The implication of Mr. Lu's words is that the blood demon is too conceited and does not take officials into consideration. It is disrespectful to show sincerity to officials with a monster mask.
In fact, many officials were dissatisfied with the Blood Demon wearing a demon mask on this occasion, but they all wanted to live forever, so they had no objection. Now that Prime Minister Lu had spoken, the officials also looked at the Blood Demon, wanting him to take off the mask.
Yes, show your true colors.
The blood demon smiled, and he responded calmly: "To be honest with you, Prime Minister, two hundred years ago, I learned the skills and vowed to conquer demons and benefit the people from now on. Except for the first demon queen, my master made the face of that demon
Then the master asked me to put on the mask, and asked me to remember my duty and never slack off, to eliminate all demons in the world. For this reason, I swear that I will never take off this demon mask until the demons are gone. So I still ask for your support, Prime Minister."
Prime Minister Lu said: "Oh, in that case, Mr. Xue is even more admirable. May I ask, sir, how many demons are there in this world?"
The Blood Demon looked at Lu Xiang and said, "There are many more. And some demons also wear masks and look like humans. It is difficult to distinguish them. No matter what kind of masks they wear, they will not be able to escape my eyes in the end."
When the Blood Demon said this, his expression and eyes were even more subtle and thought-provoking.
Xiang Lu heard that the bloody magic words contained a deeper meaning.
Xiang Lu was shocked. Could it be that the Blood Demon smelled something?
Impossible, he has always acted cautiously.
Prime Minister Lu said: "I hope the Blood Ancestor will get rid of the demons in the world as soon as possible and show his 'true face'."
The Blood Demon also heard the meaning behind Xiang Lu's words.
Then Blood Demon and Lu Xiangxu said a few more words, and then they all sat down.
Grand Master, Prime Minister Lu, Blood Demon, Shangguan Minghong, Taiwei and other important people were sitting at the same table.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone outside the hall shouting and asking: "Who is that person?!"
