In the early morning of the next day, Ji Ruochen followed Xu Zekai to the Luoyang Prince's Mansion. Luoyang King Li An will hold a banquet in Tingsong Tower today to entertain Ji Ruochen. The Luoyang King likes to practice Taoism as much as the emperor today, and he heard that another disciple of the Tao Te Sect has arrived.

Luoyang was immediately overjoyed and made arrangements for today's banquet early.

The banquet was originally scheduled for noon, but Xu Zekai said that Prince Li was a good-natured man, and the palace supported many virtuous and upright people, which was worth seeing. Ji Ruochen originally thought that Li An was just like ordinary officials and noble families, raising a small family.

They are unknown people from a small sect, but since Xu Zekai said they are worth seeing, these people are definitely not ordinary people. It’s just that the monks seek immortality, not worldly wealth. Since they are successful in Taoism, they don’t want to travel and cultivate immortality.

Why would you succumb to this palace?

The Royal Palace of Luoyang is located next to the emperor's palace, occupying the entire square. The palace is majestic, with many green buildings, and its grandeur is self-evident. There are palaces, gardens and pavilions in the palace, all with red lacquer and gold-nailed doors and emerald glazed tiles.

, with white jade as the steps and gold as the walls, the magnificence is only slightly inferior to the emperor's palace.

The carriage entered from the west gate of the palace and slowly stopped in the Huiyuan. This garden consists of four independent courtyards and a waterfront tower. It was a place used by the King of Luoyang to temporarily rest the righteous people in the world.

Xu Zekai led Ji Ruochen straight to the second floor of the balcony. The second floor was all opened up into a hall, which was transparent and bright. Some exotic flowers and plants were placed in various places in the hall, which added a bit of elegance. It was indeed a place to enjoy the scenery, listen to the pines and taste tea.

A good place to drink. At this time, there were three people sitting in the hall. Among them, two middle-aged Taoist priests were sitting by the window, and an old man with a long beard was sitting on the other side.

After Xu Zekai entered the hall, he first saluted the three of them, and the three immediately stood up and returned the salute, obviously thinking highly of him. Ji Ruochen saw that the old man's face was kind, honest, and clear.

Qian. And the two middle-aged Taoist priests were even more impressive. Their true energy was full and almost overflowing. At a glance, it was like there was a sea of ​​light in their belly. Ji Ruochen knew that the cultivation levels of the three of them were much higher than his own.

, are equivalent to the realm of the highest purity in the Three Pure Secrets, and I am in awe at the moment.

Xu Zekai first pointed to the old man and said with a smile: "This is the elder of the Bibo Cave Zongran Sect. The elder's Blue Water Black Ice Curse is one of the best in the world. I admire it very much."

After hearing this, the old man laughed happily, and immediately held up his hands and said: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk! How can Mr. Zekai's discernment be met by a little trick?"

Xu Zekai pointed to the two Taoist priests again and said: "These two are the Dragon Elephant Heavenly Lord and the White Tiger Heavenly Lord from the Seven Sacred Mountains. The two Heavenly Lords are extremely powerful in Taoism and have access to all dharma, but they can't explain it.

Which one is their unique skill?"

The Dragon Elephant King was born very tall and black, with a strange face. Although it is unknown whether he really has the power of a dragon elephant, he looks a bit like a dragon elephant. The White Tiger King is not much shorter than the Dragon Elephant King, but he is

He was as lean as a stick, with only a pair of slender eyes that shone brightly.

The two Heavenly Lords were obviously very arrogant. They looked Ji Ruochen up and down and saw that he was young and not very knowledgeable. Except for a ring with an unknown purpose on his left hand, he didn't have any decent magic weapon on his body.

They all regarded him as Xu Zekai's nephew and descendant, and he was just looking for a way to get ahead.

Without waiting for Xu Zekai's introduction, Longxiang Tianjun sat back in the chair, waved his hand and said carelessly: "Mr. Zekai's character is nothing to say. Don't worry, since you introduced this child, I will wait for you in the future."

I will take care of you."

Xu Zekai's smile did not change, and he thanked Lord Longxiang for his kindness. The Lord White Tiger looked around once, and when no one else came in, he immediately asked: "Mr. Zekai, Prince Li is hosting a special banquet for me today."

Who is this distinguished guest, and why hasn’t he arrived yet?”

Before Xu Zekai could answer, his sleeve was pulled by Ji Ruochen. Ji Ruochen got close to him, gathered his true energy, and asked in a very low voice: "Isn't this Seven Sacred Mountains an evil sect?"

Xu Zekai tilted his head slightly, his smile remained unchanged, and he replied in a low voice: "Now we are all ministers of the same palace, so there is no distinction between good and evil..."

Ji Ruochen suddenly remembered what Master Ziyang said in his letter, "Don't have a mind of right and wrong." He nodded and remained silent. The White Tiger Heavenly Lord stared at this side with bright eyes, and suddenly sneered and said: "Little guy, everyone, now

We both work for Prince Li and work under the same master, so how can we distinguish between good and evil?"

Ji Ruochen's expression remained as usual, but he was shocked. He secretly thought that he was whispering the secret method of his sect. If people from other sects were not as good as the Eight Meridian Masters, they would never listen. But this White Tiger Heavenly Lord didn't look like he could compete with him.

This sect looks like a real person, what is his secret method to make his words heard?

Xu Zekai smiled slightly and said: "The White Tiger Heavenly Lord is a man of great wisdom. He is familiar with the affairs of the world, knows the general situation, understands the situation, and knows the current affairs. With the eyes of the Heavenly Lord, he can see through what we think in our hearts, and it is not difficult."

Ji Ruochen knew that Xu Zekai's words meant that the White Tiger Heavenly Lord was just guessing, and he did not really hear what they were saying, so he was immediately relieved. It's just that the White Tiger Heavenly Lord could guess so accurately based on just a few clues.

Divide skills.

White Tiger Heavenly Lord was obviously very impressed by Xu Zekai's words. He smiled so hard that his long eyes turned into slits, and his impression of Ji Ruochen also improved. He also waved his hand and smiled at Ji Ruochen: "You

I'm lucky to have an elder like Mr. Zekai. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask, my two brothers can still do something. Ah, by the way, what's your name?"

After Xu Zekai heard this, he immediately took a step aside, let Ji Ruochen out, and said with a smile: "This is my uncle Ji Ruochen of the Taoist Sect. Let's get closer and closer to each other in the future."

"Uncle Master!?" Lord Longxiang shouted and jumped up.

"Uncle Master?!" Baihu Tianjun screamed and fell into the chair.

"Exactly. Uncle Ji is currently listed on the Ziyang Zhenren's door wall." Xu Zekai said with a smile.

True Lord White Tiger was suddenly shaken, and with a flick of his body, he was in front of Ji Ruochen in an instant. He smiled sincerely and brightly, took Ji Ruochen's hand, and said in a very affectionate manner: "I asked, "Brother Ji, how can he be like this at such a young age?"

What about your cultivation! Seeing that you don’t have a magic weapon on your body, it turns out that your state of mind cultivation has reached a state where it can directly point to your true heart and not be faked by external objects! My brothers are dozens of years older, but their state of mind cultivation is still far from this.

Realm, ashamed, ashamed! Let’s get closer to each other in the future! Get closer to each other! If you have anything to say, just ask, my two brothers can still do something!!"

Ji Ruochen felt the powerful words coming from his hand, and his face turned green and white. Now he finally understood why Xu Zekai just repeatedly emphasized that the White Tiger Heavenly Lord 'knows the general situation, understands the situation, and knows the current affairs'.

His ability to adapt to the wind is truly unparalleled.

Before he could react, Dragon Elephant Heavenly Lord suddenly jumped up and was at his side in an instant. Even though Dragon Elephant Heavenly Lord was tall and strong, his leap was as light as smoke and as fast as wind.

It was astonishing to hear the thought. Long Xiang Tianjun said loudly: "Since you are Mr. Zekai's uncle, then Immortal Yunfeng must recognize you?"

Ji Ruochen was confused and said, "You mean Senior Brother Yunfeng? We meet him often!"

Snapped!

Dragon Elephant Heavenly Lord clasped his palms together, clapped Ji Ruochen's left hand in it, held it tightly, then grinned, and a dragon-like smile appeared on his black face, and said repeatedly: "Brother Ji

, if you come back to the mountain in the future, be sure to send your best wishes to Immortal Yunfeng for me! Although I haven’t seen you for ten years, I still remember the teachings of Immortal Yunfeng in my heart. I only regret that there is a difference between good and evil, so I can’t go to Xixuan Mountain.

Pay a visit to his old man."

Ji Ruochen could only nod his head repeatedly, but how could he say anything? From this point of view, this Dragon Elephant Heavenly Lord is also a person who 'knows the general situation, understands the situation, and understands current affairs', and is no worse than the White Tiger Heavenly Lord.

However, Ji Ruochen felt a little confused in his heart. He had always seen Taoist Master Yunfeng being mediocre, busy with trivial matters, and there was nothing surprising about him. Why was he so respected by the Dragon Elephant Heavenly Lord?

The atmosphere in the hall was completely different now. The two heavenly kings, Long Xiang and White Tiger, moved their chairs and sat next to Ji Ruochen, one on the left and the other on the right. They began to talk wildly. They took over the honors and left Xu Zekai aside.

Finally, Ji Ruochen finally got rid of this embarrassing moment when the King of Luoyang gave him a banquet.

A banquet has already been arranged upstairs in Tingsong. Although this banquet is a family banquet, the banquet still includes all kinds of delicacies, birds, fish, turtles, etc. The sixteen dishes alone are filled with great craftsmanship.

He is capable of doing things. The money spent on this table is more than enough for ordinary people to use for one year.

When Ji Ruochen and others sat down at the table, King Li An of Luoyang was already sitting in the main seat, waiting for the arrival of the guests. At that time, high-ranking officials and dignitaries were banqueting guests, and the host would not sit down until all the guests had arrived. Li Angui was the king of the feudal territory, and there were people who were appointed as officials with armor.

In terms of power, there were not many people above him in terms of power in the dynasty, but he was the first to sit down and wait for the guests. This shows that he treated all guests with courtesy and his extraordinary demeanor.

Before leaving, Xu Zekai explained the etiquette rules to Ji Ruochen one by one. Although monks do not adhere to conventional etiquette, the basic etiquette cannot be discarded.

There was only one table at the banquet, and there were nine guests. They were all people with different appearances and profound virtues. It seemed that Li An was really unique in recognizing people. There was only one woman at the table, and Ji Ruochen had met her once before.

It was Fairy Jingyu who had appeared during the battle outside the Great Wall. Many years later, Jingyu's appearance became even younger. However, Ji Ruochen had grown up from a skinny boy, and his demeanor and demeanor were completely different. It seemed that Jingyu didn't recognize her.

Get him out.

After the guests were seated, Li An held up the golden cup, stood up from the table, and said loudly: "As the saying goes, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. I think I, Li An, am an ordinary person. I can get the love and help of immortals. I don't know how many lifetimes it took me to cultivate."

Blessing. Without the help of all the immortals, how could I, Li An, be where I am today? All the immortals are people who eat the wind and drink the dew. It is difficult to drink this vulgar wine. However, the mansion is crude and there is no preparation in the hurry. I still invite the immortals.

Haihan.”

After saying that, Li An immediately saluted all the guests. All the guests returned the salute and said, "Your Majesty, you are welcome!"

Li Anshi is forty-two years old, but he is very well maintained. He looks no older than his early thirties. He has a tall figure, a handsome face, and a pair of long and narrow eyes. He looks aristocratic. In terms of seniority,

Li An is the nephew of the emperor of the dynasty, and he has been favored since he was a child. He regards himself as a royal relative, but is so modest and gentle. It is no wonder that he can recruit so many people in the Tao to help him.

Li An waited for the guests to be quiet, and then said: "Today's meeting is, firstly, to thank the immortals for their help for many days, and secondly, it is to welcome Ji Ruochen, Ji Shaoxian, the Taoist Sect, and wash away the dust. Ji Shaoxian is young.

Even if you can have such a position, even if you can be ranked among the immortals one day, it is just around the corner. How lucky is this king to get to know such a person!"

Ji Ruochen was secretly observing the guests and Li An in the banquet. At this moment, when Li An heard his name being called, he immediately stood up and thanked him. He was naturally handsome, and for five years in the mountains, he taught and solved problems all from the Taishan Beidou in the monastic world.

He is a kind of person who has seen many magic weapons that are rare for ordinary monks to see in his life. He also possesses immortal secrets. Unknowingly, his demeanor has changed.

The guests had already seen that he was not wearing a magic weapon, so they admired him even more. This man's heart is strange. Before Ji Ruochen reported his identity, in the eyes of everyone, he looked shabby without a magic weapon. Once they knew his identity and seniority,

, not wearing a magic weapon is a sign of cultivating one's mind.

Next, there was a banquet with singing and dancing, and the guests and hosts had a great time.

Xu Zekai was already the head of the guests, and since Ji Ruochen was his uncle, he was naturally more senior, so he and Xu Zekai sat on Li An's side. The White Tiger, Dragon, and Elephant Ertian Monarch was profound in his conduct, so he should have sat down for the first time, but the two of them

At the same time, he sat next to Ji Ruochen. Not only did the White Tiger Heavenly Lord whisper to Ji Ruochen all the time, but the Dragon Elephant Heavenly Lord also always turned around his huge body and found some topics to talk to Ji Ruochen.

Everyone knows that the two heavenly kings of the Seven Sacred Mountains are notoriously quick-witted. Seeing them working so hard to show their goodwill to Ji Ruochen, they can't help but think more highly of Ji Ruochen. The king of Luoyang, Li An, saw him.

I also thought deeply and began to gather together.

Ji Ruochen has been patient for five years, and he no longer likes to show off his temperament. Being the guest of honor at the banquet like this today really makes him feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, most of the people here are cultivators, and even Li An has been practicing since he was a child.

Taoism, so the topic naturally turned to cultivating immortals and visiting Taoism, which made him feel more natural.

Ji Ruochen possesses the Immortal Art of Dissociation and has a keen understanding of all spiritual powers and treasures. Therefore, although he does not understand the Taoism of each sect, he discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each sect when discussing it, and his opinions are often to the point.

Pointing directly to the source. All the guests present were greatly surprised, and gradually put away their disdain.

Ji Ruochen was accustomed to observing people's words and emotions. After a few sentences, he realized that everyone's reaction was wrong, so he never mentioned his own opinions. When someone asked about spiritual issues, he just said that he was young and ignorant and had no knowledge. His modesty made everyone even more angry.

I was in awe, thinking that he was able to worship under the disciple of Master Ziyang at such a young age. Sure enough, he could do what ordinary people couldn't. In ancient times, famous teachers gave birth to great disciples. Master Ziyang was in charge of the Daode Sect, and the disciples he chose were naturally great.

The banquet lasted from afternoon to sunset. Li An was so drunk that he had to go back to the harem to rest. Before the banquet, he insisted that Ji Ruochen stay temporarily in Huiyuan, which is the best place.
To be continued...
