Chapter 227 Become famous
"drink!"

The wine bowls were clinking and the fragrance spread for miles. That night, the whole Yucha Town could hear the cheers and laughter coming from the restaurant.

Under the curious gazes of passers-by, several strong men temporarily hired by the restaurant, bare-chested and carrying large wine jars, followed the waiter and strode into the lobby.

Seeing the new wine arrive, the people around the table became excited, and soon several young men and women came forward. They stretched out their hands and easily scooped up the wine jars - even several strong men would sweat profusely when lifting this stuff, but they lifted it up easily with one hand.

In less than a moment, several hundred kilograms of wine were distributed among the crowd and into individual wine bowls.

They are all people of the world, and they are practicing cultivation. So, a few kilograms of rice wine can just be drunk like water, right?

Fu Qingzhou drank a few bowls of wine and was a little tipsy. He linked arms with Hua Wuying and Wu Changfeng and laughed loudly.

Tang Jiao and Qiu Chan, two girls at the same table, were talking in private. No one knew what they were talking about. Sometimes they were whispering to each other as if they were very close. Sometimes they said something sarcastic to each other. Then they started drinking and chatting again as if nothing had happened.

Li Qing was also at the table, toasting politely and carefully, and occasionally casting admiring and envious glances at Fu Qingzhou.

As for Zhao Hao, he didn't come.

Fu Qingzhou naturally invited him, but he only left one sentence.

"We who work in intelligence are best not to show up in public. From now on, don't tell me that you recognize me. It will only bring a lot of trouble to me or you."

"Also, the matter of Fanyin Temple is not over yet. I need to spread the news of their deeds to the world, otherwise it will not be them who will be infamous, but you! Jinchan Temple is not so easy to mess with!"

In that case, then forget it. We can still drink wine even without Zhao Hao.

Wu Changfeng's wounds hadn't fully healed yet, but he drank more heavily than anyone else. Soon, his eyes were full of drink, and he yelled with his neck stiff, "I've been roaming the martial arts world for decades, and I've never seen a more powerful person than you, Brother Fu! Today, I must...hiccup, I must make sure that everyone in the world recognizes you!"

As he said this, he didn't care who the person next to him was, he stretched out his hand and pulled the person's clothes: "Let me see! This is my brother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit hard on the head.

"Who are you?!"

It turned out that the person next to him was his father, Wu Yue.

Everyone burst into laughter.

But soon someone asked loudly: "So... who is this young man?"

As soon as this question was asked, countless voices echoed it.

Hua Wuying, who was beside Fu Qingzhou, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother, you can't escape. Say a few words."

"alright."

Fu Qingzhou laughed, stood up under the influence of alcohol, and waved to everyone in the hall: "Brothers and sisters!"

Everyone was very respectful and although he hadn't said anything yet, they all cheered and clapped in response.

"Little brother, I..."

He burped, smiled slightly and said, "His name is Fu Qingzhou."

For a moment, the laughter in the room gradually died down.

Everyone stared at him with wide eyes, half surprised and half suspicious.

Finally, someone stuttered and asked, "Two, two years ago, that...that Fu Qingzhou?"

"good."

Fu Qingzhou remained calm and said frankly, "Back then, I was kidnapped by Long Dabei, who forced me to become his disciple. Although I refused, I could not escape, so I had to follow him all the way to Shu, and eventually went to Langhuan Mountain and became a disciple of Wuwei Temple... Today's Wuwei Temple is the True Immortal Palace in the past!"

In an instant, the whole room was in an uproar!

It’s really that Fu Qingzhou!
Although most of the people present may not have participated in the original encirclement and suppression, the news that Long Dabei returned to the underworld and died in the deserted mountains had already spread throughout the world.

Another thing, that his successor Fu Qingzhou was in possession of a rare treasure and was fought over by various major sects, but was eventually taken away by Master Long Dabei's Zhenxian Palace, is naturally known to everyone.

"Everyone."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said loudly: "But I am not here to argue with you today. I, Fu Qingzhou, don't care how you treat me."

He poured himself a bowl of wine, drank it all, wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "I want to tell you how big a thing we have accomplished this time."

"As for right and wrong, it's up to you to judge for yourself."

"You may know that Fanyin Temple tricked people into taking the copper bone pill that could save their lives, and you may also know that they practice evil skills, peeling off people's skin and using their flesh and blood to make pills... But you probably don't have a real sense of how many people they have harmed."

Fu Qingzhou exhaled lightly and said slowly: "Today is a banquet. Maybe I shouldn't say this, but I still want to tell you the stories of the victims."

"The first person I want to talk about is a farmer. His last name is Tian and his given name is Dashi. His father died early, and his mother raised him little by little. When he was young, she would always carry him on her back to work in the fields before dawn..."

Slowly, he recounted the memory scenes he had seen when he went deep into Yuanwu's sea of ​​consciousness.

He didn't describe it vividly, and omitted many details. He simply talked about the lives of ordinary people, their joy and happiness, sadness and sorrow, and their despair and pain after encountering the Fanyin Temple, and their inability to live or die...

The crowd quieted down as he spoke, and gradually, some female disciples of the Wulin League began to wipe their tears, and some men looked gloomy and drank wine as if to vent their anger. Hua Wuying's face gradually darkened, and he closed his eyes. He quietly squeezed the wine bowl with force, making the bowl creak.

Qiu Chan frowned, her eyes fixed on Fu Qingzhou's face, not knowing what she was thinking.

Tang Jiao also looked at Fu Qingzhou, but her eyes were full of heartache.

Wu Changfeng sobered up without knowing when, and listened silently, with veins throbbing on his forehead.

Li Qing reacted most violently. His own brother was one of the victims, and he had been working on this issue for many years. He covered his face with his hands, his shoulders twitched, and tears kept flowing out from between his fingers.

“…That’s all for now.”

After telling a few stories, Fu Qingzhou smiled faintly: "In fact, there are hundreds and thousands of stories like this. I can't finish telling them all today."

"I can see that you are angry and sad after hearing these stories, but..."

"Thanks to you, their souls are freed."

He silently poured a bowl of wine and splashed it beside him: "This bowl of wine is for those innocent people who were killed."

Dingli, bang, bang - this was the sound of everyone present silently taking up their shoulders to pour the wine.

They followed Fu Qingzhou's example, stood up one after another, and poured the wine in their bowls onto the ground.

Famous predecessors such as Wu Yue and Ding Shuanghe also stood up and poured wine on the ground.

Fu Qingzhou smiled, poured another bowl of wine and raised it high.

"This bowl of wine is for Senior Zuo, and for the other brothers and sisters who sacrificed their lives in this battle."

As the drinks hit the floor, many people in the crowd had tears in their eyes and followed suit.

In a moment, the floor of the restaurant lobby was covered with wine and the fragrance filled the air.

Fu Qingzhou did not stop and poured another bowl of wine.

This time, everyone lifted the wine jar and poured wine with him at the same time. When he raised the wine bowl again, they had all raised their bowls as well.

"I have some selfish motives for this bowl."

Fu Qingzhou said softly: "Many years ago, my father, the Bailu Mountain hunter, Fu Haichao... was also deceived by the Fanyin Temple and took the Tonggu Pill. He also died because of it."

"I don't know who the monk who killed him was, but now that the Fanyin Temple has been destroyed, Dad... I have avenged you!"

He seriously spilled the drink on the ground.

"Brother Fu."

Hua Wuying said softly, "My condolences."

After saying that, he flipped his hand and poured the wine onto the ground.

Everyone raised their wine bowls and poured wine again.

I thought that was the end, but Fu Qingzhou poured another bowl, then raised the bowl, looked at everyone with a smile, as if waiting for them.

Everyone was clearly curious, but they still did as they were told and raised their wine bowls once again.

“This bowl…”

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I toast to you all!"

He raised the wine in the bowl and laughed, "Someone once told me that this world is hell and full of suffering, but what I see is not so!"

"You have traveled thousands of miles to destroy the Fanyin Temple at the cost of your lives. You are truly heroes!"

"This world is a great place with heroes like you!"

After saying that, he tilted his neck back and drank the wine in one gulp. Then he turned his hand over, revealing the empty bottom of the wine bowl.

Everyone was startled, then they all laughed loudly and drank together.

"How can such a good thing happen!"

Soon, someone laughed and said, "You want to toast all of us with just one bowl of wine? At least you should make a few circles!"

"Great!" Everyone echoed loudly: "Young Master Fu, come and dance in circles!"

Fu Qingzhou stared.

There are more than a hundred people here! Are we, are we making circles?!

Hua Wuying's hand was already gently on his shoulder. Turning his head to look, Brother Hua showed a sly smile he had never seen before: "Go, Brother Fu, you can't escape..."
