There is a winding mountain canal at the foot of Junshui Peak with gurgling water, named Junhua Canal. The sect built a green bamboo dining hall under the waterfall at the source of this canal, which can accommodate hundreds of people for dining.
At this moment, there are no empty seats in the dining hall, there are constant laughter and laughter, the mist is surrounding, the aroma of food is fragrant, and the New Year’s Eve dinner is served.
There are nearly forty tables in the hall, with eight people per table, and a total of eighteen dishes, including six first-grade spiritual meals and two second-grade spiritual meals, including braised brown rabbit meat, Baibao duck, white fungus and ginseng cake, etc.<
/p>
Each table is also equipped with four pots of one-grade spiritual wine. This is the banquet specification for this year’s sect’s New Year’s Eve dinner.
Not only this dining hall, but also hundreds of large and small dining halls up and down Huangsheng Mountain are like this. All sect disciples can go to any dining hall early to find an empty seat and have a good meal.
In addition, each dining hall also accepts reservations. Hua Lingshi can reserve a table in advance, add dishes, or upgrade the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, which is a "package".
Bu Xuanyu, Xuanhan and Xuanyue, together with their two senior brothers, had reserved seats in this dining hall early. At the price of 18,000 low-level spiritual stones per table, they reserved fourteen tables to entertain their respective disciples.
Disciples.
There are also eighteen dishes, but it is much richer than the New Year’s Eve dinner arranged by the sect.
There are two third-grade spiritual meals, including steamed jade shrimps and stewed tiger and leopard ginseng, six second-grade spiritual meals, and ten first-grade spiritual meals.
Each table is also equipped with a pot of mountain spring spiritual wine. In short, you can drink as much as you want, but the spiritual wine is enough.
This dining hall is located under the waterfall at the foot of the mountain. It is built next to the water. If you look up through the window, you can see the waterfall flowing down the cliff. You can smell the rumbling sound of the water and drink the wine. It is very comfortable.
This is not only the New Year's Eve dinner every year, this dining hall is quite popular, so you need to book in advance.
In addition to the fourteen tables booked by Liu Yu and the others, the other tables were also booked two or three times in advance. The sect leader Yizi booked more than twenty tables, and the remaining ones were Ming, Zhu, and Shanzi.
A disciple of several lines.
Many disciples exchange cups and cups, and disciples from all walks of life who know each other walk back and forth to congratulate, eat and drink, and the hall is full of joy and excitement.
"Have you heard? A thunder leopard escaped from the Spiritual Beast Sect three months ago. It is said that it escaped into the Black and White Mountains, but it has not been found yet!"
"I've heard it a long time ago. The Spirit Beast Sect has suffered a big loss this time!"
"Who can say otherwise? The high-level spiritual beasts raised by the sect can still escape. In my opinion, everyone in this spiritual beast sect is a loser!"
"My little brother, let me ask! What level of spiritual beast is this Thunder Leopard? Why does this senior brother say so!"
"It's just a spiritual beast. It just ran away. What's the fuss about it?"
"The Spirit Beast Sect has a great cause, so what does one spirit beast mean?"
"To put it lightly, this Thunder Leopard is a fifth-level spiritual beast. It can be raised up to the sixth level with careful care. The beast elixir it produces can be refined into the "Lei Yuan Leopard Dan". The entire Spirit Beast Sect only has more than fifty animals in total." "That's right, this "Lei Yuan Bao Dan" is a sixth-grade high-level elixir. Taking it can increase the success rate of the Thunder Tribulation by 10%. It is a rare and top-quality elixir."
"After running away like this, just say you feel sorry for me or not!"
"What! This beast elixir can also increase the success rate of the golden elixir's thunder tribulation!"
"If this is the case, then the Spirit Beast Sect will really suffer a big loss this time!"
"Tell me, how many spiritual stones is this "Lei Yuan Bao Dan" worth?"
"Don't think about it, there is a price but no market!"
"Why don't you take a closer look at such a rare spiritual beast?"
"Yes, who knows how to escape?"
…
While eating, drinking, talking and laughing, someone suddenly mentioned that a thunder leopard raised by the Spiritual Beast Sect escaped a few months ago. Many disciples couldn't help but become interested and started talking about it unconsciously. There were different opinions for a while.
"The Spiritual Beast Sect attaches great importance to the Thunder Leopards they raise, so how could one of them suddenly escape?" Taoist Xuanyue couldn't help but mention it after hearing the comments from the disciples around him.
"Not long after this happened, word spread in Beiluan City. I happened to go back to Beiluan City at that time. It is said that the owner of this thunder leopard had planned for a long time and wanted to secretly take this thunder leopard to rebel against the sect.
Run away."
"However, he was discovered by the Spiritual Beast Sect in the end, and he was killed on the spot during the pursuit."
"But this thunder leopard has escaped into the Black and White Mountains, into this vast mountain. It will be too difficult to hunt down this leopard." A middle-aged Taoist sitting next to Liu Yu took over and said.
This humane name is Lingcao, and he is the deputy leader of the Green Eyes Gang. With his cultivation in the Third House, he is the shopkeeper of "Qingji Shanhuo".
It stands to reason that this New Year's Eve dinner is only for disciples of the Huang Sheng Sect, but Liu Yu booked a "private banquet" and did not have the Hua Sect's spiritual stone. To entertain one or two outsiders, he only needed to inform the sect in advance that the sect would accept the banquet.
The door will not bother you.
"The contracted spirit beast is Thunder Leopard. Even if he has a "Lei Yuan Leopard Pill" in his hand, why would this person defect?" In addition to Xuan Yu, Xuan Han, Xuanyue and the deputy leader of the Blue Eyes Gang, Ling Cao, the rest of the table
The next four people are all disciples of Xuan Han and Xuanyue, and their cultivation has reached the foundation building stage. One of them asked in confusion.
"Senior nephew Xuanming doesn't know something. This Thunder Leopard is only a fifth-level spiritual beast. If you want to be promoted to the sixth level, it is not easy to successfully condense the life essence pill."
"In addition to investing a large amount of spirit stones and carefully caring for and feeding each thunder leopard, the Spiritual Beast Sect also selects a potential companion monk to practice special beast cultivation techniques when it reaches a young age." p>
"Different from other animal cultivation methods, which use animals to raise humans, this method uses humans to raise animals."
"This selected companion monk, also known as the "Beast Master", is actually the nourishment provided by the Spiritual Beast Sect to the Thunder Leopard to promote the Thunder Leopard's smooth advancement and speed up the probability and cycle of condensing the Life Essence Pill."<
/p>
"When the Lei Guangbao condenses the natal elixir, the Spirit Beast Sect will kill the beast to obtain the elixir and refine it into the "Lei Yuanbao Dan"."
"As for the selected companion monks, because they spend a lot of their own energy to raise thunder leopards, they will damage their own Tao foundation, and it will be difficult to improve their cultivation."
"There is almost no possibility of advancing to the golden elixir realm. In addition, the refined "Lei Yuan Leopard elixir" has nothing to do with this person. Naturally, there will be people who are dissatisfied and are looking for opportunities to defect with beasts!" Xuan Han shook his head.
Said with a sigh.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"So that's how it is. No wonder someone would defect!" Taoist Xuanming couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this.
"Xiaodao also heard that the escaped Thunder Leopard was a pregnant female beast. The beast fled into the Black and White Mountains and disappeared."
"The Spiritual Beast Sect released news last month. If anyone discovers traces of this beast and reports it to the Spiritual Beast Sect, they will receive generous rewards." Taoist Lingcao continued.
"Then if someone goes into the mountain and captures this beast, or finds traces of this beast, he will be famous immediately!" A pregnant thunder leopard, this is not a mobile treasury, Taoist Xuanming couldn't help blurting out.
"No, as soon as the news came out, a large number of monks from Beiluan City joined forces and went into the mountains to search, causing another bloody storm in the entire Black and White Mountains!" Taoist Lingcao then said with a bitter smile.
He grew up in the Green Eyes Gang, and he knows all about the intrigues and intrigues in the vast mountains.
"Money and silk are so touching!" After hearing this, Liu Yu couldn't help but shake her head.
"Let's not talk about this, come and have a drink!" Xuan Han suggested, raising his glass.
"Come, come, come!" Everyone immediately raised their glasses to welcome him.
"Junior Wang Mo, pay homage to the master, and pay homage to all the seniors!" Before Liu Yu and others could put down their wine glasses, Xuan Lin's disciples came to propose a toast with their wine glasses.
Afterwards, disciples continued to come to toast one after another, and Liu Yu and others would also go to the tables of other Zimai peers and say hello to each other.
The banquet lasted until Xu hour. It was already dark and everyone slowly dispersed. Many Qi practitioners would immediately leave and rush to Huangyu Square to watch the excitement.
Every year, the sect holds a night party in Huangyu Square. The sect arranges for beautiful young female nuns to perform singing, dancing, instrumental music, and plays. During the singing and dancing period, there are also many lucky bags and red envelope activities.
By guessing riddles, matching pairs, etc., the disciple who guesses correctly will be rewarded with a lucky bag containing various amounts of spiritual stones.
When Liu Yu was practicing qi when he was young, he also liked to join in the fun, but he was too shy to ask him to go on stage to guess riddles. He didn't dare to play with pairs. The only lucky bag activity he participated in was catching lucky cranes.
The seniors of the sect will release some paper cranes regularly, and all Qi-training disciples can fly and catch them. If they catch one, they will receive a lucky bag.
Now Liu Yu had no interest in going to the night party, so she left the dining hall and did not go back to the cave. Instead, she went to find Bai Niang outside Huangling Cave, and brought her a moon-howling wolf, and she also had extra meals during the Chinese New Year.
One person and one snake go to the peak and look down. At night, half of the peak is lit up with various fireworks. The topaz square and the foot of the mountain are dotted with lights, like stars in the sky. That is Liuxian Town.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Liu Yu, blowing the mountain breeze, could not help but think of one friendly face after another, which gradually became more and more like a lake due to the passage of time.
Just staying there quietly until midnight, Liu Yu said goodbye to Bai Niang and flew to the ancestral hall.
Every year, the sect leader or elder will bring the foundation-building disciples who stay at the mountain gate to celebrate the New Year, and burn incense to worship the sect ancestors in the ancestral hall at midnight when the old and new ones change.
…
"My ancestors! The younger generation, Sheng Yi, has come to worship with his disciples! I hope that all the ancestors will protect our sect and prosper." Sheng Yi, the real person, was dressed in costumes and holding a pillar of red incense. The third elder Qiu Mu and the fourth elder
On both sides of the Xuanmu body, there are more than two hundred foundation-building disciples.
As Master Sheng Yi gave the order of sacrifice, everyone held incense and bowed in order.
Then one by one they came forward and inserted the incense sticks in their hands into the "Golden Dragon Cauldron" in front of the altar, Liu Yu was among them.
Behind the cauldron is the altar. On the altar stands a katama tablet. Behind hundreds of soul tablets, four majestic and dignified gilded statues stand.
Positioned one in front, two in the middle and one in the back, the front one is the statue of Fairy Jian Yue, which is also the smallest. In the middle on both sides are the Antarctic Changsheng Emperor and the Arctic Emperor Ziwei. The last one is the tallest and is Taiqing Taoist.
At this time, this was the case for all the sects, big and small, in the Eastern Yuan Realm. Not only the cultivation sects, this scene also happened in front of the altar tables set up by thousands of secular households, and stood in front of the statues of the Immortal Jian Yue in various towns in the Eastern Yuan Realm.<
/p>
At this moment, tens of thousands of immortal statues in every corner of the Eastern Yuan Realm began to emit dazzling auras amidst the devout prayers of the common people in the world.
