    Chapter 158 Master drinks wedding wine

    When a sect gets married, the feast is held for three consecutive days. The first day is the Wedding Feast, which is held the night before the wedding. As the name suggests, it is for all the guests to wash away their dust and welcome the wind.But the biggest excitement that night was not at the drinking table, but at the hunting grounds.According to the rules, in the evening of that day, before the sun sets, a respected elder will place three deer with red silk antlers in the forest garden. Then the groom’s father will select twenty-two unmarried men and women to compete in the garden.

    If the guests hunt one of the three spirit-antlered deer, they can get tens of millions of gold prizes. In the final analysis, this is just a gimmick played by wealthy sects like Rufeng Sect and Gu Yueye.

    The Poetry Hall is condescending, with green tiles and flying rafts. Looking down from the hall, the hunting forest not far away is shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun.

    The guests arrived one after another and congratulated Nangong Liu. No matter who came, Nangong Liu politely returned the greetings one by one and invited him to the table. After half an hour of busy work, all the guests sat down in their seats. With the sound of the chime of Sile Pavilion, the night banquet officially began.

    “I don’t know which guests the head of Nangong will let go to the forest garden to compete.”

    “It’s not about drawing lots. Let me tell you, those who are drawn are all very lucky. Think about it, the one who hunts the deer with spiritual horns will receive a reward of tens of millions. The other person who does not hunt the deer can also get other spirit beasts or fairy fruits captured in the forest. Where can there be anything better in this world?”

    While they were having a lively discussion, the palace door suddenly opened, and Nangong Si and Song Qiutong walked up to the balcony at the same time. The handsome man and the beautiful woman, gold and red intertwined, came to the head of the house hand in hand.

    Nangong Liu stood up, nodded with a smile, and said loudly: “You distinguished guests come from all over the world, from all the major immortal sects and mansions. It is really a great honor for you to come to Rufeng Sect to attend the children’s wedding ceremony despite your busy schedule.”

    The guests below all praised him: “The master is so polite.”

    “The young master and the young lady are handsome, talented and beautiful, they are truly a rare pair.”

    “Yeah, yeah.”

    These flattering words were almost exactly the same as what the supporters said to me when I got married in my previous life. Mo Ran felt bored after hearing this, and his eyes subconsciously wandered around the crowd, and soon found Ye Wangxi who was sitting next to Elder Shuanglin.

    Ye Wangxi lowered his eyes, still dressed simply, and was just eating the food in his bowl, never raising his head to look at Nangong Si.

    Whether he’s expression or behavior, everything is the same as before, even calmer than usual. Perhaps because he has been living a very hard life, such people already know that they are unable to fight for their lives.Mo Ran looked at he and suddenly remembered that he liked a pagoda lantern sold in the night market when he was a child.

    The lantern was very delicately made, with every eaves tile outlined, but the old artist demanded a high price, so although the lantern was good, it never sold.Of course Mo Ran couldn’t afford it, but he. Almost every night, he would wait for the night market to open and run to the stall to look at it for a while. The shadows of the pagoda lights flowed, and the splendor was solemn, illuminating the child’s dark eyes.

    Until one day, a young man and woman came, all dressed in silk and satin. The girl took a fancy to the pagoda lantern at first sight, and just said she liked it coquettishly, and the man next to her paid for it and sold the lantern.

    The pagoda was taken away, and Mo Ran raised his head, watching the old artist take it down from the wooden shelf where it had been hung for a long time, and handed it to the girl’s hands. The swaying lights finally illuminated Mo Ran’s longing face, and then disappeared at the end of the night market street along with the pair of beauties.

    Mo Ran felt uncomfortable at the time, but he was also obedient and calm.

    He is the same as Ye Wangxi now. In fact, when they saw the pagoda lantern for the first time, they knew that such a luxurious thing was destined not to belong to them.In fact, every night when they are illuminated by the pagoda, they have rehearsed the situation of losing this light thousands of times in their hearts.

    It’s not about letting go and being relieved.

    But from the very beginning, I knew clearly how it would end, so I never dared to pick it up.

    “Come on, come on, the lot is drawn, the lot is drawn -” the old servant of Rufeng Sect held a large bronze twig pattern, came to the throne with a smile on his face, held it above his head, and presented it to Nangong Liu, “Master, the auspicious time has come, please invite the master to draw lots!”

    “Okay! Come! Head Nangong is here to catch one!”

    Nangong Liu said with a smile: “It’s better to obey orders than to be respectful. Twenty-two lots will be drawn. The young heroes who are drawn must be rewarded and participate in the night hunt. If there is anyone who is not willing to go, then please say in advance, thank you, thank you very much!”

    After waiting for a while, some girls from several small sects had low cultivation levels and were timid, so they asked their parents to go up and tell Head Nangong to take their names out of the book in advance.

    Xu Shuanglin glanced at Ye Wangxi and asked with a lazy smile: “Little Ye Zi, do you want to go and have fun? If you want to go, I will do something for you and open a secret door.”

    “I’m not going.” Ye Wangxi said, “Father, please tell the leader to remove my name.”

    “How can that be done? If I win, I will get 10 million gold.”

    Ye Wangxi: “…”

    Xu Shuanglin’s temperament was far more tame than his adopted son. He thought for a while, then curled up a wilted smile and said, “Then if you don’t want to go, then I will go.”

    “Father…you are already in your forties this year…”

    “What’s the matter? I look young. When I go and hunt down those three deer, I will get 30 million gold. If you don’t take the windfall, the earth will destroy you and the sky will kill you.”

    Xu Shuanglin insisted on going his own way and didn’t notice the frustration of his adopted son at all. He pulled up his shoes and went to find Nangong Liu with a smile.He Fu’er said a few words next to Nangong Liu, and others would only think that he was going to take away Ye Wangxi’s lottery. Who knew that he loved money as much as his life, and he wanted to get in and play with it.

    Nangong Liu quickly picked out the guests for Zhu Lu.

    “Chen Feng, Lin Sheng, Qu Yanran…”

    Elder Shuanglin stood beside him, took a handful of lots from the master’s hand, and reported them one by one, slowly and calmly: “Oh? This is a bit powerful, the proud son of heaven, Xue Meng.”

    Soon all twenty-one people were chosen, and there was still one left to go. Elder Shuanglin was very cheeky and raised his hand with a smile: “There is another person, I am an old man. Please give me some advice.” Nangong Liu knew the temperament of his elder, so he did not stop him. He just smiled helplessly and gave everyone a fuse and fireworks.

    “For deer chasers, the fuse will serve as evidence. After three whistles, it means that all three spirit-antlered deer have been caught, and the hunting is over.” Nangong Liu said, “We will personally welcome you back at Xiaoyue School Ground. The winner will be rewarded with tens of millions of gold.”

    Everyone heard this and applauded enthusiastically, cheering for their acquaintances.

    Nangong Liu said with a smile: “In addition, I have been asked by my son to add one more thing. The first place will be rewarded with ten demon wolves. Make a blood contract and take it home!”

    Demon wolf!

    Such a precious spiritual beast, it is hard to find even one on the black market, ten of them!

    The hall was boiling, and some people couldn’t help but stand up and shout to their chosen classmates: “Senior brother, it’s up to you! If you get first place, I’ll give you a polish on your boots for a year!”

    The whole room burst into laughter.

    A female cultivator was unconvinced and shouted loudly: “Brother, compete with them all. If you win, I will promise to practice dual cultivation with you!”

    “Wow – this is good, this is amazing, hahaha, whose fairy girl is so hot?”

    For a time, the Hall of Poetry and Music was filled with laughter and laughter. People who had originally lacked interest showed some expectation in their eyes, holding wine glasses and watching the grand excitement.

    Mo Ran left the table amidst laughter and said to Chu Wanning: “Master, I will accompany Xue Meng to the hunting ground first. You sit and eat and drink well, waiting for me to come back.”

    Chu Wanning said: “Go and tell Xue Meng, he is too reckless.”

    “Okay.”

    Mo Ran walked down the brightly lit gorgeous hall with the other twenty people. Chu Wanning watched the handsome and tall figures of the young men and women disappear into the vast night, and drank the daughter red in the cup.

    He feels that when he returns from the peak of life and death, he will have the money to build a spiritual stone road in the lower realm. He is his disciple and he is the most confident.

    Thirty million gold is at your fingertips.

    The young man entered the forest, but in a blink of an eye, before Mo Ran sent Xue Meng away and had no time to return, the first bright red fireworks exploded in the sky. Nangong Liu was amazed and sighed: “It’s really amazing. I haven’t even finished my cup of tea, but someone has hunted the first deer. I wonder whose disciple it is? So brave and admirable!”

    Li Wuxin from Bitanzhuang sat next to Nangong Liu. Hearing this, he twisted his beard and smiled and said: “If you are all interested, why don’t we come and have a bet? Who among these twenty-two young talents will win the prize and get a lottery of fifty thousand, and Li will come out to help the head of Nangong?”

    Everyone agreed, so twenty-two wooden sticks with famous names written on them were placed on the long table, and red silk was placed underneath. People who wanted to place bets stepped forward to write down their chips and pay.

    Xue Zhengyong turned his head and muttered to Chu Wanning: “Why did Bitanzhuang give 50,000 yuan, so little? Is the old man named Li very poor?”

    Chu Wanning said: “Small gambling is pleasant, but big gambling is harmful to the body.”

    Xue Zhengyong smiled and asked Chu Wanning: “Then let’s have some fun too?”

    Chu Wanning looked at he sharply and said nothing.Xue Zhengyong’s neck felt hairy when he looked at him, and he shrank his neck and said: “Okay, okay, I know you don’t like it, then -”

    “What are you doing Yiqing?” Elder Yu Heng took off his money bag, slapped it on the table, and said expressionlessly, “If you come here, you will hurt yourself.”

    “…”

    Xue Zhengyong stared at he for a while, as if he had seen a ghost, and then asked: “How much is the bet?”

    “Three hundred thousand.”

    “…So much? What if we pay for it?”

    “Can’t pay.” Chu Wanning said, “Don’t you want to build a spiritual stone road? With more money, you can build more roads in those villages that are particularly plagued by miasma.”

    Xue Zhengyong: “Are you really going? Is Xue Meng going to lose?”

    “You won’t lose, your son, you should know better than me.”

    “…………”

    Seeing that Xue Zhengyong was still uneasy, Chu Wanning said simply: “It’s up to me to pay, and it’s yours to win. Go ahead.”

    Names were written on the silk one after another. The small sect, who originally didn’t want to gamble, was really itchy, so they couldn’t help but spend some small money to try their luck.

    Nangong Si also found it amusing to see it, and got up to take a gamble. Song Qiutong called out to him: “Husband, why are you going too?”

    “I’ll win some money and buy you some jewelry.”

    Song Qiutong stopped talking, and his bright face dropped calmly, with strands of black hair falling from his forehead, looking particularly shy and pitiful.Chu Wanning glanced over there unintentionally. Seeing the sweetness of the newlyweds, he felt awkward and quickly turned his head back, so he did not see the vague uneasiness on Song Qiutong’s face.

    Nangong Si smiled and took the pen and walked in front of the long desk. He was about to pick someone and write a bargaining chip when he suddenly heard a sharp sound behind him, just between the electric light and flint. Nangong Si reacted as fast as a wolf.

    Powder crumbs flew everywhere, and it penetrated three points!

    “Who!”

    “There is an assassin!!”

    “Alert! Blow the martial law whistle!”

    Sharp whistles resounded throughout the seventy-two palaces in Washington, and the poetry and music hall where the singing stage had just been warmly ringing and melodious was suddenly in chaos, with swords drawn in all directions.

    Nangong Si’s eyes were dim, with a faint glimmer of ruthlessness. He suddenly wiped away the blood on his cheeks, strode to the pillar, and looked up.

    It was just an ordinary feather arrow, and it actually pierced deep into the hard nanmu. There was a small bamboo tube on the feather arrow. Nangong Si took off the bamboo tube with a stern face. His canine teeth were fierce, biting open the sealing wax, and a letter fell out.

    Nangong Si unfolded the letter and read the first paragraph with a straight face. His expression suddenly changed, and he clenched his fingers suddenly. He read it again in disbelief. This time, he was trembling slightly after reading it, and his fingertips even pricked the letter paper.

    “Si’er, what’s wrong?”

    Nangong Si raised his head, his nose wrinkled, his face ferocious, almost like a leopard.

    “It’s just a lie!”

    He said that he was about to destroy the letter.

    Nangong Liu was one step faster than he, raised his hand, trapped his son with spiritual power, and said in a low voice: “What’s going on? Give me the letter.”

    “Father, you don’t need to read it, it’s just a piece of nonsense!”

    Nangong Liu refused to listen, and waved his hand to take the letter from the hands of Nangong Si, who was unable to move.He took the letter, lowered his head and scanned it, and glanced at Song Qiutong very quickly. The color on his face instantly turned extremely ugly. Before anyone could react, he put the letter on the fire and burned it to gray black in an instant. Then he laughed dryly and said: “My son is right. It is really full of absurdity. I don’t know who did it to make such a cheap joke. This is really…”

    “What is it really?”

    From the corner of the eaves, a low hoarse voice suddenly came.

    Everyone’s expression changed. Ye Wangxi drew his sword and stood in front of Nangong Si. Chu Wanning also stood up and stared at the place where the sound came from.

    You must know that the Confucianism Sect is hosting such a grand event, and the disciples in charge of martial law are all high-level disciples of the sect. This person actually came to the top of the Shile Hall without anyone noticing, and no one noticed when he said “he”. He is obviously not an ordinary person, and should not be underestimated.

    “Head Nangong, I kindly remind you not to let your son marry a wanton woman for no reason. Instead of listening, you actually said that I was full of nonsense. It really opened my eyes.”

    Before he could finish his words, a dark shadow flashed past. When others saw clearly, he was already standing in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his hands, among the huge crowd.

    “Ah——!”

    “Run away, run away quickly!”

    The people who were close to him were momentarily frightened, and suddenly fell down like a tidal wave, instantly forming a deserted circle around him. The senior brothers protected the junior brothers and junior sisters, the head master protected the disciples, and the mature ones protected the younger ones.

    The man in black wore a ferocious bronze mask and a jet black cloak, and said calmly: “Why are you running away? If I were to hurt anyone, this palace would have been filled with blood. Just stay still.”

    The author has something to say: Well… I think the answer to the first gambling game can almost be seen 23333

    Small Theater “Born to Be Rebellious”

    Mo Ran: I heard that people who are cold and cold are not very good at drinking.

    Chu Wanning: Ridiculous, I will never get drunk after a thousand cups.

    Mo Ran: I heard that Gao Leng is not good at gambling.

    Chu Wanning: Ridiculous, I will win every bet.

    Mo Ran: I heard that Gao Leng doesn’t even bother to say I love you to her boyfriends during the Lantern Festival.

    Chu Wanning: Ridiculous, I…

    Mo Ran: Haha, I know that Master is different from those glamorous people outside. Come on, just say it, I will listen.
