Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 33: Party party
Walking up the mountain road, after passing the Erzhongtian Archway, you have officially entered the "Red Plum City".
Although it is a temporary city, there are all kinds of restaurants, inns, clothing stores, pharmacies, etc. in the city. The steps paved with jade are staggered and the alleys of houses with green bricks and green tiles are deep and deep, giving it the appearance of a beautiful mountain city.
Hongmei City has a layout of four openings and eight verticals. The building complex looks random, but in fact it is closely related to the layout of the formation. Xiaoyao Palace, as the host, occupies the Tianyuan position, stands on the top of the peak, holds the main door opening position, and is the first core in the formation. The six major sects belong to the six directions, but they occupy the other six gates, leaving only the Death Gate untouched and left to the scattered cultivators from all directions.
Through the long block, we came to a building courtyard with red walls and white tiles. On the plaque at the main entrance were written three characters: Dijian Garden.
This is where the Xiyue Sect is stationed.
Dijian Garden is located in the south of the Five Ridges. The Zhangjing Gate is away from its position. Because it is away from the main fire and the moon is still white, the red wall and white tiles are built as a mark. In addition to the Xiyue Sect, there are also some large and small dependent sects in Wenxin, forming a large independent area.
After entering Dijian Garden, there was a handyman director. After knowing that Tang Jie was a student of Xiyue and an official participant, he led Tang Jie to a place called Qingxinxuan, where the academy arranged for him 's residence.
This Qingxinxuan can be considered a clean and elegant place, and Tang Jie is quite satisfied.
This is the gathering area for Xiyue students. As soon as Tang Jie arrived, many people knew that Tang Jie was coming. Therefore, the guard Tianchong Shimeng immediately rushed to kill him. When he saw Tang Jie, he shouted: "You are so good!" Tang Jie, you still know that when you come back, I almost thought you died in some poor mountain and bad water."
Tang Jie asked with a smile: "Listening to this tone, how long have you been here?"
"I've been here for more than twenty days." Shi Meng replied: "Of the twenty participants in the college, you are the latest to come. If you don't come again, the Xie College will send someone to find you. Now No, someone is starting to prepare to replace you."
Wei Tianchong said: "Don't care about anything else, hand over the puppet to me first and let me see if it is damaged."
Tang Jie returned the puppet to Wei Tianchong, and saw Wei Tianchong looking left and right at the puppet, checking it repeatedly, fearing that it was damaged somewhere, which made Tang Jie helpless: "I'm sorry, you came here not to look for me, but You came here looking for a puppet, you are so chilling, young master."
"Nonsense." Wei Tianchong replied angrily: "I worked so hard to make such a third-grade war puppet, and you disappeared with it before I even used it once."
"It's just a third-grade war puppet. Look at your nervous look. Didn't you see that there are third-grade war puppets everywhere in Hongmei City? They are all black-armored war guards wearing strong armor." Tang Jie said this. As soon as it came out, Wei Tianchong also showed fascination in his eyes. Apparently he had been shocked by the black-armored war guards in Hongmei City these days. He said to Tang Jie: "Tang Jie, you said we should also give this war How about adding a suit of armor?"
"Do you know how much it costs? For weapons and armor, you have to add at least 10,000 more."
Hearing this number, Wei Tianchong immediately shook his head. Making puppets has depleted his fortune, and he will not be able to come up with this money in a short time.
It was Tang Jie who said, "But if the young master dares to take risks, I might be able to help him get something done."
"How?" Wei Tianchong asked.
"Of course they were taken from those black-armored war guards." Tang Jie replied with a smile.
Wei Tianchong was startled when he heard this and shook his head repeatedly: "Are you crazy? You dare to do this? Don't say that those black-armored war guards are difficult to deal with, even if they are really easy to deal with, let Xiaoyao Palace know , even if you and I are Xiyue students, we still have to walk around without food."
"What if I have a way to deal with it but never let them find out?"
"This..." Wei Tianchong hesitated.
As he was thinking about it, he saw several more people rushing in from outside. The leader was Peng Yaolong, followed by Qi Shaoming, Ye Tianshang, Cai Junyang, and several others who were also students of the Immortal Fate Association. Tang Jie knew each other but was not familiar with them.
As soon as Peng Yaolong arrived at the door, he shouted to Tang Jie: "Well, Tang Jie, you are on the road alone, traveling around the mountains and rivers. You are really having fun, and you didn't come until now."
Tang Jie smiled and said: "Isn't there still a few days until the start? I have calculated the date. It is rare to come out, so naturally I have to travel well."
"Don't do this. I bet that you didn't go on a trip to Tang Jie, but for a trial." It was Cai Junyang who understood Tang Jie and revealed the secrets of Tang Jie.
Ye Tianshang already said: "It's easy to prove it, just open his mustard bag and you'll know it at a glance."
Everyone was already making a fuss, wanting to see what benefits Tang Jie would gain from going out alone.
Tang Jie reluctantly begged for mercy: "No, no, brothers, please let me go. At the worst, can't I treat you to a meal?"
It was impossible for everyone to actually open his mustard seed bag and look at it. When they heard this, they all applauded.
Even Qi Shaoming said: "There is a Tianxiang Tower opened in the west of the city. It is said that there are all kinds of rare delicacies. I have always wanted to try it, but I am short of money. Since Tang Jie wants to treat guests, how about going to Tianxiang Tower? ?"
When Tang Jie heard this, his face collapsed: "Young Master Qi, you are so tight that you can't afford it, and I can't even afford it."
Qi Shaoming replied seriously: "It doesn't matter, we won't eat you too much, just one or two thousand for each person is enough."
"..."
The group of people went to Tianxiang Tower noisily.
This Tianxiang Tower is also considered a gold-selling place in Hongmei City. Although the things inside are good, they are also surprisingly expensive. When Qi Shaoming mentioned coming to Tianxiang Tower, it was just a joke, but Tang Jie actually agreed.
When they arrived at Tianxiang Tower, after Tang Jie ordered the dishes for everyone, even Wei Tianchong stuck out his tongue and said: "Red braised glutinous ox tongue, steamed ghost-faced fish, fried moon shadow silkworms... Tang Jie, these dishes Are you afraid of asking for three or four thousand?"
Tang Jie smiled and said, "Isn't Jun Yang tricking me into telling me that I went to the trial? I did get some benefits from this trip. In this case, I naturally have to talk about my feelings. . You’re welcome, I can still afford this meal.”
Everyone looked at Tang Jie in a strange way.
Being able to treat everyone to a meal worth three to four thousand yuan casually probably meant that Tang Jie had to earn at least twenty thousand yuan. Being able to earn this in such a short period of time only shows that Tang Jie's strength has improved again.
For Tang Jie, in addition to showing off his strength, spending money to treat guests also has another important meaning: to build closer relationships and make friends with others.
Those who can sit together now can be said to be the most outstanding students of Xiyue Academy. In the past, these people had no time to get together due to their own cultivation, so it was difficult to meet, so it was difficult to make friends.
The convening of the Immortal Fate Meeting gives everyone an opportunity to temporarily put aside their cultivation and re-understand it from a new perspective.
This opportunity to get to know each other is much better than the battle over true inheritance.
In the battle for true inheritance, you fight against me, which can easily damage harmony.
The battle for immortality is about working hand in hand to fight against foreign enemies. At this moment, all students are not competitors, but cooperate with each other.
For this reason, Tang Jie also intended to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with everyone.
It is definitely a good idea to treat guests.
Take this opportunity to make up for some of the unhappiness caused by the true mission, and also take this opportunity to re-establish friendship with those friends who have known each other for a long time but are not familiar with each other.
Sure enough, after a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere of the conversation became lively.
At this moment, Tang Jie said: "Speaking of which, there is something that I am quite puzzled about. Logically speaking, it is not too late for me to come today. Why do you look like this? It seems that among the students from the six major sects, I The last one to arrive? Why are you all here so early?"
Peng Yaolong and others looked at each other, and then suddenly laughed together without answering.
Shi Meng still said: "Tang Jie, you are also stupid sometimes. Have you forgotten why this Immortal Fate Meeting was held?"
"Of course it is for the future contribution of Xiaoyao Palace and... the little palace master?" Tang Jie was stunned, and suddenly understood.
For this Immortal Fate Meeting, the most important thing for the six major sects is naturally who owns Xiaoyao Palace in the future.
But for the participating college students, the most important thing is who the young palace mistress will marry!
If you want to marry the little palace master, strong strength is essential, but strength alone is definitely not enough. After all, fists can only allow students to enter the top ten. Who to choose among the top ten is the little palace master himself. Have the final say.
For this reason, almost every young student who aspires to become a palace master has a plan in mind.
The best way is to come to the Red Plum City in advance and look for opportunities to get acquainted with the young palace master.
If we can get to know the little palace master and establish a relationship before the official competition, then all that is left is just a question of the top ten. If he could capture the heart of the young palace master, even the top ten issues might not be a problem.
For this reason, the students all came to Hongmei City in advance, always looking for opportunities to meet the little palace master. People like Tang Jie who have no interest in the little palace master would naturally not think of doing this, so they didn't come until now.
"So that's it..." After realizing it, Tang Jie couldn't help but smile and said, "Have any of you seen the little palace master?"
A group of people at the table looked at each other and spread their hands at the same time, showing that no one was lucky enough to see them.
A student named Zhu Fengdao said: "But we didn't see the little palace master, but it doesn't mean that the little palace master didn't see us. ~IndoMTL.com~ The little palace master is known as the country's beauty and heavenly fragrance, and this Tianxiang Tower happens to be named after The name is Tianxiang, so maybe it was set up by the little palace master to observe people coming and going. He might be hiding in some hidden corner now, secretly watching us!"
As soon as he said these words, several students immediately straightened their clothes, spoke and behaved solemnly, and the atmosphere at the whole table became silent.
However, some students were disdainful and said sarcastically: "A noble girl with golden branches and jade leaves would hide in a corner and peek at you? What a beautiful thought!"
Zhu Fengdao was immediately unconvinced and said: "What's wrong with the beautiful girl of heaven? In the end, she still has to marry a student of the Six Schools? This is a big deal for the students, but it is not a small matter for the little palace master? Do you think she is just like that? Are you willing to randomly pick one among ten strange men? These days, the little palace master is probably looking for a suitable match. Just watch, there is no telling when something will happen, that is, the little palace master is using it to test Everyone has good moral character. So everyone, remember, don’t show mercy when you are a knight, and use your sword when you can do justice!”
"Bah, how hypocritical! What kind of chivalry and righteousness is this? It's more like deceiving the world and stealing fame." Cai Junyang said dissatisfied. Throughout his life, he pursued the sword as he pleased and traveled thousands of miles as a knight, so he was very dissatisfied with what Zhu Fengdao said.
Zhu Fengdao was not happy either: "It's your fault if you don't want to. I kindly gave everyone advice, but why did I fail? If you really have such character, if anything happens, don't take action. , lest people say that you are trying to please the little palace master. Anyway, there are many cultivators on Hongmei Ridge, and you are not the only one missing."
"You also know that there are more cultivators on Hongmei Ridge than ordinary people. How many injustices can happen to make you stand out?" someone sarcastically said.
"That's hard to say. Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there is a gap in strength, there will be injustice. Who said injustice must happen among cultivators?"
As Zhu Fengdao was talking, he heard a sudden noise downstairs.
