Hong Chen followed the crowd to the Hero's Pool where the night banquet was held, and found that there was actually a large pool in the Hero's Pool, which was twenty or thirty feet square. There were many lanterns tied with paper and candles floating on the water, and many hanging lights hanging around.
The lantern illuminates the surroundings very brightly. Standing here, you can still hear the roar of the waterfall in the distance.
Hundreds of tables and thousands of chairs were set up by the pool. The disciples of Shenxian Villa led everyone to sit down. Hong Chen was originally following Yan Jie and others, but Jiang Xihe came next to him again: "Little Yan King, Divine Palm
Senior, our owner of the village invites you two to take a seat at the third table above."
Yan Jie happily said: "That's perfect." Then he hugged Qian Xuesong, who had been following him, and said: "Senior Qian, I wanted to communicate with you for a while longer during the banquet, but it seems we can only talk later.
Qian Xuesong smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Young people should get to know more powerful people. Those who can be invited to the upper three tables are not ordinary people."
Hong Chen wanted to refuse, but he felt it was very embarrassing to sit with Ji Cha again, so he and Yan Jie followed Jiang Xihe to the upper three tables next to the pool. At this time, they were the first to arrive, but
After sitting down for a while, more people came to take their seats.
Among the new arrivals, many of them were already known to Hong Chen in the past, or they were introduced by Liu Yizhi in the afternoon: in addition to the two village owners Ning Cai Rongrong and several disciples, there was also the Tianya Pavilion Master Spear God Qi Ying, whose disciples
Fang Shen, the lord of Zhenhai Palace, Bing Haimei
Xian Wu Yisi, the leader of Yunmo Sect Sword Emperor Liu Shiliang, the elder Yipo Yunxiao Song Xiao, Yunzhou Yunhai Jiaolong Yunmoxuan and several Jianghe Gang elders and many other masters. I have met Liu Quan of Xingyun Academy and Yu Jian who have fought against each other several times.
Tang Tieshou Wuqing Hailan is also there.
In addition, Hong Chen saw that the two men in gray robes who fought with him that night were in the same row. When he asked Yan Jie, he found out that one of them was Kuai Dao Wuying Zhou Jili and the other was Luo Jian Wuhen Sun Lanxi. When he saw them outside
The format of the numbers was uniform and interesting, and I asked about the nicknames of the other Nine Sword Heavenly Guards.
Yan Jie said: "Few people know the names of the first three guards, and I don't know them either. The remaining six guards are Zhao Liaoyuan, the 'Golden Spear Wuming', Lin Tianhan, the 'Yuxiao Wuxin', Lu Suqian, the 'Silver Hook Wuli', and you.
The known ones are Ying Hailan, Zhou Jili, and Sun Lanxi. The six of them are all top-notch masters in the world, and each is good at different weapons and martial arts."
Hong Chen said: "When I heard the name Nine Swords Heavenly Guards before, I thought they were nine people with swords to protect the emperor. I also wondered why Ying Hailan used iron claws. It turns out that there is only one person with swords."
Yan Jie smiled and said: "The 'swords' in Yujian Hall and Nine Swords Heavenly Guard are all symbolic. The name 'Jian' actually means to rely on the sky with the sword. Yujian Hall is dedicated to serving the emperor."
Organization. The Nine Swords Heavenly Guards are not the ones who use the swords, but the nine people who are actually the swords of the emperor." But I thought in my heart: Does this Master Hong really not know, or is he deliberately pretending not to know and teasing me?
By this time, the guests had almost arrived. Ning Cai Rongrong stood up and made an opening speech. Hong Chen couldn't understand many of the words in it, but the meaning of "righteous man", "hero" and "hero" was quite clear, and he couldn't help but feel excited:
I have been out of the martial arts world for so long,
I finally saw the true faces of the knights from all walks of life. Although they were ruthless to the demon sect, they were tolerant and generous towards their own people. If I could go with them, it would be much better than spending the whole day stealing and running away.
, no need to worry all day long.
Then he felt remorseful and guilty: "I think about the weapons I stole and looted with Ji Cha in the past. The original owners were all heroes. What I did was really indifferent to right and wrong. It was so wrong." Then I started to think about how to clean it.
He must clarify his identity and tell others that he is not the leader of the demon sect, but has been led astray, and what can he do to compensate the heroes who lost their magical weapons and gain their forgiveness.
But then he thought again: "Although Ji Cha is hateful, he has also helped me a lot. If I betray Ji Cha, it will not be a heroic act." For a moment, he fell into inner struggle and hesitation. Lian Ningcai Rongrong finished his speech.
Everyone started eating with chopsticks and raising glasses to drink without realizing it.
"Senior Divine Palm, Senior Divine Palm?"
A series of calls awoke Hong Chen from his trance.
Hong Chen looked up and saw Jiang Xihe standing in front of him holding a wine glass, bowing his head shyly, with a smile as bright as a flower: "Senior Shenzhang, Xihe is here to offer you some apology wine."
Hong Chen stood up from his seat in a hurry, and Yan Jie, who was standing beside him, had filled a glass of wine for him, picked it up and said, "Miss Jiang, those who don't know are not guilty. It's best not to pay any attention to the past." These words were clear.
The one mentioned above is Jiang Xihe, but it is a secret hope for her future situation. She hopes that one day after her identity is revealed, the heroes in the world will not pursue her past mistakes too much.
"Thank you, Senior Shenzhang, for your forgiveness. Xi He will do it first as a token of respect."
Jiang Xihe smiled sweetly, put the white porcelain wine glass next to her red lips, then covered her face with her sleeves and raised her head, then showed the empty wine glass to Hong Chenyi.
Seeing her finish the glass of wine, Hong Chen was embarrassed not to drink it. He raised the glass and poured all the wine into his stomach. He immediately felt that his throat was burning, there was an indescribable bitterness on the tip of his tongue, and his stomach felt uncomfortable.
It's fatal.
After Jiang Xihe, several more people came to propose a toast, and each of them spoke eloquently, almost saying that their admiration for the invincible senior Shen Zhang would never disappear. Hong Chen couldn't say anything nice, and he didn't want to refuse to show his kindness, so he had to
One sip at a time, a jar of strong wine was drained in no time.
The wine entered his stomach, but the drunkenness inside was completely eliminated by his strong internal force. Hong Chen felt uncomfortable and wanted to pee, but he didn't feel dizzy. Other people nearby also came over to raise their glasses one by one, and Cong Rong from Ningcai Rongrong
, to Song Xiao Fang Shen, to Yun Moxuan, Wu Yisi and others, the entire top three tables, except for top players like Qi Ying and Liu Shiliang, almost drank it all in turn with Hong Chen.
Hong Chen secretly admired these heroes and felt guilty and apologetic, so he had no choice but to endure the pain and keep drinking. However, he relied on his own internal strength to support himself and did not take the initiative to eliminate the power of alcohol like others.
After taking turns to drink alcohol, I finally became drunk and my mind became more and more drowsy. I only knew that someone was coming, so I raised my glass and drank, and I didn't realize anything else.
Everyone saw that Shenzhang Wudi was drinking very fast, his face was not red, and he didn't talk much. They just thought that he was conceited about his ability to cure hangovers, so they couldn't help but feel a sense of challenge. After one round, there was another round, and then another round.
The drunker Hong Chen got, the worse he became. Even though his internal strength was so high that he could counteract the sweat medicine on his own, the wine he drank into his stomach did not require any hangover cure. Even ten bulls could get drunk, let alone one person, let alone one who never drank alcohol.
boy?
The others were drinking, chatting and laughing among themselves, but Hong Chen couldn't hear anything. He only knew that once the hot wine was filled in the cup, he had to drink it. He didn't know how long it took before he was helped by Yan Jie to pee.
Seven or eight times, a clear and crisp sound suddenly hit my ears, coming from the pool.
The cool breeze from the air blew across his forehead, and Hong Chen felt a little more awake. He looked intently at the place where the sound came from, and saw two figures standing in the middle of the water, both wearing robes and hats. One of them was holding a
A long sword that reflected light, and the sound just now was made by him using his finger to flick the sword.
Not only Hong Chen saw it, but also all the heroes in the world saw it. At first, they thought it was a show arranged by Ning Cai and Rong Rong to cheer up, but even the two village owners were confused. The man who flicked the sword stretched out his finger to strike again.
After tapping the sword several times, the sweet sound of the sword suddenly spread throughout the top of the mountain. Qi Ying and Liu Shiliang were the first to react and spoke in unison: "'Sword Crazy' Luo Qinghan!"
