Chapter 103 Warm Jade Pavilion
That night, guests gathered on Chijian Peak, and all kinds of light went back and forth at the peak. All of them were monks who were invited by Huo Yuanchun to attend the banquet.
Although it is only Huo Yuer's birthday party, Huo Yuer is the only daughter of Chimen. After all, everyone can't but give Huo Yuanchun this face.
Therefore, after the invitation was sent, even some leaders and elders came to support Huo Yuanchun.
In this lively atmosphere, several yellow lights flew far away and landed on the reception platform of Red Sword Peak, and the figures of Anle, Lin Xiao and several other Qingmen brothers appeared.
Two disciples of Chijianfeng, who were responsible for welcoming the guests, quickly greeted them and asked for the names of the visitors.
Lin Xiaoyang took the invitation in Yang's hand and sent the prepared gift to inform him of his doorway.
The two disciples could hear that it was Lin Xiao in Qingmen. They couldn't help looking at each other. They were a little surprised, and there was a trace of hatred in the surprise.
No wonder these two disciples have had a dispute with Huo Yuer in the past two months. After An Le complained in front of the elders and publicized by everyone, they have now made a lot of noise in the Lingxu Palace. The two disciples in front of him were both disciples of the outer door in the Red Gate. Naturally, they helped Huo Yuer. When they saw Lin Xiaozhen coming to the banquet, their expression suddenly cooled down.
Originally, according to the established etiquette, when the guests gave gifts, the welcoming disciples should be polite before receiving gifts, and a disciple should walk forward to lead the guests into the home of the banquet - "Warm Jade Pavilion" to rest.
However, after learning that it was Lin Xiao who came, these welcome disciples did not give Lin Xiao any good face, but simply accepted the gift, and then let Lin Xiao and Anle go to the Warm Jade Pavilion by themselves.
From beginning to end, their attitude can be said to be very bad.
Lin Xiao received such a cold treatment, but he himself had nothing. The happiness around him and several other Qingmen brothers felt very angry. Several times, Anle couldn't help scolding the two disciples, but was stopped by several slightly mild-tempered brothers around him.
On the way to the Warm Jade Pavilion, Lin Xiao found that some monks dressed in the clothes of the disciples of the outer gate of Chijianfeng were commenting on him and whispered. He frowned, but it was not easy for him to attack on the ground, so he pretended to turn a deaf ear and went his own way.
Before long, Anle and Lin Xiao came to what those disciples called the "Warm Jade Pavilion".
The so-called warm jade pavilion is an attic built on the mountain. It is four floors high and dignified. The whole body is carved with red warm jade and outlined by flying eaves, which is very elegant.
At this moment, the consciousness of the warm jade pavilion is full of voices, and the guests are staggering, pushing cups and changing cups, and the sound of loud laughter is endless.
The banquet of this dinner was arranged in the warm jade pavilion.
The ground floor and the second and third floors of the Warm Jade Pavilion are used to entertain many ordinary guests. The fourth floor was specially opened by Huo Yuanchun to hold another banquet to entertain the first seat of each peak and some elders of Lingxu Palace who came to congratulate.
Entering the warm jade pavilion, there are voices everywhere, staggering, so lively!
Because the ground floor and the second floor were already overcrowded, Lin Xiao and others had to go all the way to the third floor to sit down.
The places where several people went were very lively. The attic was full of tables and chairs, and the banquet tables were full of good wine and dishes. People gathered around the banquet and couldn't help persuading them to drink. Some good performers played their own spells in front of the public and had a lot of fun.
At this time, Lin Xiao, An Le and others had already walked to the second floor of the stairs and were about to walk to the third floor when they bumped into an "acquaintance".
"Zhang Jixian!" Lin Xiao's pupils shrank and recognized the person. He had not seen this guy for two months. Lin Xiao was on his guard all the time, but unexpectedly the two met here.
Zhang Jixian also saw Lin Xiao at the same time. First, he was a little surprised, and then sneered, "Oh, isn't this Brother Lin? I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently?
When he said this, his face was tense, and even the smile seemed to be squeezed out, and his tone was chilling.
Lin Xiao was not interested in talking to him. He didn't even bother to say anything. He just bypassed Zhang Jixian and walked directly to the third floor.
Anle saw Lin Xiao's move, but he just pondered for a moment, and then nodded to Zhang Jixian, which was regarded as a greeting, and then followed Lin Xiao upstairs.
The Qingmen brothers who followed Anle and Lin Xiao were shocked to see that Lin Xiaoli ignored Zhang Jixian. They saw Zhang Jixian's face turn pale and knew that Zhang Jixian was about to attack. How dare they offend the second brother of the Qingmen inner disciples at this time, so they quickly sued him. He hurriedly followed Lin Xiao and the others to the fifth floor.
At this moment, in addition to Zhang Jixian, there are dozens of inner disciples of the Lingxu Palace on the second floor of Nuanyu Pavilion, all of whom are monks of some origin. Many people know that Zhang Jixian intercepted Lin Xiao for the sake of Huo Yuer.
At this moment, when everyone saw Zhang Jixian being hanged there by Lin Xiao and others, they were talking about it. As they spoke, someone mentioned that Zhang Jixian was gray-headed by Lin Xiao's pile of runes two months ago, and some people began to snicker from time.
In full view of the public, he said hello first, but unexpectedly, Lin Xiao dared to fall on his face like this. Zhang Jixian's face was pale, and he still looked calm on the surface, but he was extremely angry.
"Good Lin Xiao, I'm not finished with you!" Zhang Jixian said with hatred in his heart.
It won't be long before Lin Xiao and Anle went up to the third floor.
Although there are still many monks here, there are still fewer people compared with the ground floor and the second floor.
At present, Lin Xiao led the way, Anle and others followed and found an empty table to sit down.
At this moment, the table is full of all kinds of spiritual food and jade liquid, but Lin Xiao and others have no appetite for chopsticks. Obviously, their appetite has been affected by the scene of meeting Zhang Jixian just now.
An Le patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder, "Brother Lin, you have completely offended Zhang Jixian. Be careful!"
Lin Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Is there any difference between offending Zhang Jixian once and offending him many times?"
Anle was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded, "That's right. Forget it. Let's not talk about this. Come on, let's drink!"
Instigation of Anle, everyone raised their glasses and drank a glass.
When he put down his glass, Lin Xiao sighed secretly. Although he had not gone out these days, he just wanted not to cause more trouble. But the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop. If you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, will others let you go?
Halfway through the banquet, Lin Xiao encountered a little trouble.
At this moment, he was sitting in a banquet in the hall on the third floor of Haoran Pavilion. A young monk he didn't know at all came to Lin Xiao. First, he pretended to get close to Lin Xiao and reported himself that he was a disciple of Chimen and had long admired Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao was perfunctory, and the monk sat down beside Lin Xiao. During the banquet, the monk often toasted Lin Xiao and was very close. On the contrary, this made Lin Xiao wary. He had no relatives with him. How could the other party spared no effort to get close to him? There must be other articles in it, right?
Lin Xiao was prepared in his heart and was not afraid that the man would play tricks, but pretended to make up.
Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, the monk took the lead in making trouble. First, he pretended to ask what gifts the monks in the next seat had given to Huo Yuer as a birthday gift. Those people seem to have a tacit understanding for a long time. What they say, from elixir to spiritual weapons, to vestments, etc., are some extremely precious objects.
The man then turned his head and asked Lin Xiao with a cunning smile, "I don't know what gift did you bring, Brother Lin?"
Lin Xiao secretly said that the actor finally came, but he had been prevented for a long time. At this time, he was not in a hurry. He just raised the glass in his hand, took a sip of wine, and smiled, "I can't compare with your brothers, but I have prepared some small gifts to show my heart. As for what it is, don't mention it.
The people in the next seat obviously expected that Lin Xiao would say so. Someone immediately said, "Brother Lin, this is your fault. Sister Yuer's birthday is the top priority of Chijianfeng this year. Thanks to Chi Jianfeng, who looked up to our brothers and invited us to the banquet. Who here did not try their best to prepare gifts to Did Miss Yuer smile? Brother Lin is so reckless that he failed Chi Jianfeng's kindness. Aren't you afraid of losing the face of Qingmen?
The man was so clever that he actually brought the little thing of gift-giving to the reputation of Qingmen. Moreover, the voice was very loud, which attracted the attention of the people around him. The eyes of the people around him suddenly looked at Lin Xiao. It seemed that they also thought that Lin Xiao was so pettish that it was really rude.
Lin Xiao saw that this matter had attracted everyone's attention and couldn't shirk it, so he had to use his brain to find a wording to get through this.
But at this time, someone sneered and said, "This brother is absolutely right. This person is indeed rude, but I'm afraid that you already know that this man's sister Yu'er, who had been injured two months ago, has been hiding in Qingmen and can't shrink. When the shrinking turtle, he is extremely afraid of things. Now it's shameless to have the face to come to the banquet.
The voice was very familiar. As soon as Lin Xiao heard it, he recognized who was hiding in the dark. He suddenly stood up and said coldly, "Zhang Jixian, I haven't settled with you yet. Are you aggressive everywhere?"
A monk stood up at the banquet not far away, with a sneer hanging on the corners of his mouth. It was Zhang Jixian.
"What, is there anything wrong with what we just said? Brother Lin, I'm just telling the truth. Why am I aggressive? Zhang Jixian sneered.
At this point, Lin Xiao already knew that the matter that everyone made things difficult for him was Zhang Jixian's work. A nameless anger surged up. At this moment, Lin Xiao had thrown away his patience, tolerance, tolerance and other emotions. Suddenly, a strong desire surged in his heart, that is, to kill Zhang Jixian's spirit in front of everyone. !
After deciding not to tolerate it, Lin Xiao calmed down instead. He snorted coldly, "Zhang Jixian, don't just stand and talk without hurting your back. Your and my grudges are counted today. Haven't you always wanted to teach me a lesson? I'll give you a chance today. How about we have a gambling fight!?
