You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 146 Banquet
Lin Xi sat beside the lotus pond, saying nothing.

The phantom that just appeared on the lotus pond was like a blooming ephemeral flower. When I looked again, it had vanished into thin air, and I could not catch its shadow or find its trace.

The phantom appears for too short a time, so short that people who have not experienced this incident cannot see it clearly, and people who have experienced this incident are filled with melancholy.

The sky had already completely darkened, and the fireflies that had been startled just now were flying all over the sky, like a sea of ​​stars, lingering between the human world.

The little foxes didn't dare to say much and hid obediently in the grass. A few of the really active ones couldn't help themselves and ran to catch fireflies for fun, but were glared back by some older foxes.

After a long pause, Lin Xi managed a not-so-pretty smile:
"Everyone go away, I'm fine. I just saw some past events and felt a little sad."

After hearing her words, the little foxes dispersed and returned to the plains to play and have fun.

However, those big monsters who had regained consciousness gathered together at a distance that was neither too close nor too close, with worry and confusion in their eyes.

Where had they ever seen Lin Xi like this?

In the impression of these people, the superb level of Lin Xi's Taoism has far exceeded their imagination. He has thousands of magic skills and tens of thousands of wonderful methods. Such a great master lives on the lotus pond all year round, closing his eyes to rest his mind. Even if he is half asleep and half awake, the monsters dare not make any trouble.

Now he was crying like rain and looked extremely sad, which was really unbelievable to these monsters.

He looked at the Taoist priest not far away with a more vigilant look.

Even a fool could see that it was because the Taoist priest said something to Lin Xi that made Lin Xi become so lonely.

"Love tribulation?"

"What kind of love disaster can there be with a Taoist priest? Aren't they not allowed to marry and have children?"

"It depends on the situation of human Taoist priests. Some can't and some can. And look at this Taoist priest, isn't there a girl with him?"

"Hiss, that makes sense." The wild boar seemed to have finally reacted, with a trace of horror in his eyes: "Then what should we do?"

"Just watch." Dang Lujun simply shook his head.

"what?"

"Have you ever had a relationship with a human? Do you know how to comfort the Bodhisattva?"

"How would I know that? In our clan, any sow I like has to submit to me obediently. Why do I need to think so much?"

"Then do you have the ability to defeat this Taoist priest?"

"? If you are not happy with me, you can just say it directly. Let's roll up our sleeves and have a fight. Why beat around the bush and ask me to die?"

"That's all." Dang Lujun shrugged, "We can't help the Great Master, so we might as well stay by his side and at least get some companionship."

The wild boar held it in for a long time but couldn't utter a word.

What Dang Lujun said does make sense.

Lin Xi, who had just recovered from her shock, also heard the gossip of these monsters. She glanced at them, then stretched out her hand and flicked her head towards the air.

"Ouch!"

Several monsters felt like they were hit on the forehead.

"Speak up."

The monsters didn't dare to speak and just kept their heads down.

After teaching these evil spirits a lesson, Lin Xi turned around and bowed to Zuo Chen:

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for sending Jiu Nian back here."

"You're welcome. When the world was destroyed by disaster, many soldiers fought against the bitter sea and built the city wall with their flesh and blood. Even if they die, their bodies should not be trapped by the bitter sea. Sending their souls back to their hometown is what I should do."

Zuo Chen said politely.

Lin Xi thought for a few seconds and then said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."

Then Lin Xi turned around and came to the lakeside. He waved his hand, and a lotus flower blooming in the middle of the lotus pond floated over.

She stretched out her hand, took the end of the lotus and cut it.

Hand the flowers to Zuo Chen:

"This is the precious lotus flower of merit in the lotus pond of Master Qianye. It is the most valuable treasure I have now. Because I have listened to Master Qianye's teachings for many years and have been illuminated by the Buddha's light, I have accumulated a lot of merit in the lotus. I can use the merit to build a golden body of merit and increase my cultivation. It can also be used to refine medicine and make treasures. It is also a good material."

Zuo Chen reached out and took it. When his fingers touched the lotus, he felt a warmth flowing into his body, making his whole body feel refreshed.

He knew that this might be a rare treasure, so he kept it carefully.

"Such a great favor, I should have taken out more treasures to entertain fellow Taoists, but unfortunately the sea of ​​suffering has already disturbed the spiritual foundation of heaven and earth, and now most of the treasures have lost their spiritual energy, and they only have appearance but no magical effect."

Lin Xi felt a lot of emotion.

Zuo Chen naturally didn’t care that much.

He had been in Daliang for more than half a year. Although he had developed many magical skills with the help of the fragments of magical skills, he did not get many treasures.

If I have to say, there are only golden boys and jade girls.

But these two are still children at heart, so it would be a bit strange to let them out to fight.

Bao Lian was a rare treasure for him.

The golden light of merit above is quite helpful in repairing the three souls and seven spirits, which just makes up for Zuo Chen's insufficient means against the soul.

Then I’ll see if I can refine it a little and make it into a bright lamp.

After putting the lotus away, Zuo Chen pointed at the young man Hu Wen who was being teased by the foxes and said, "I hope he won't be allowed to enter the bridal chamber with the young lady later."

"Of course not."

Lin Xi covered her mouth and chuckled, "How could these foxes know what a husband or a bridal chamber is? It's just that a storyteller accidentally entered the forest some time ago, slammed the gavel, and told them a lot of strange stories about the human world. They thought that choosing a husband was a fun thing. So they chose a day and held such a lively banquet."

"So what does the young lady want to do when choosing a husband?"

"...Let this handsome man comb your hair."

Zuo Chen: “…”

Although I knew that these foxes were simple-minded, I never expected them to be so simple-minded.

He burst out laughing and looked in the direction of Hu Wen.

At this moment, Hu Wen was also untied. He looked around in confusion. He wanted to reach out for his sword, but his weapon had been taken off, and he seemed unable to defeat the monsters with his bare hands. He could only sit cross-legged on the ground cautiously, looking at the foxes around him vigilantly, not knowing what they were going to do.

Then he watched as a red fox took out a comb and put it into his hands.

And the charming Miss Fox also took a step and lightly jumped between his knees.

A flick of the tail.

Hu Wen: “???”

Hu En looked at the comb in his hand, then at the big fox on his leg, and hesitated for a long time before he uttered a sentence:

"Are you going to..."

"My dear, you just want to comb my hair, don't you?"

Hearing the eldest lady's gentle voice, Hu Wen's lips trembled slightly twice.

A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated, and it is my nature to eliminate demons and defend justice. A large number of thoughts popped up in his mind one after another, and finally turned into "A real man can bend and stretch" and "This Mao is so smooth."

Then he raised the small comb and combed the hair downwards.

The white fox squinted its eyes comfortably, and moved left and right, allowing Hu Wen to find a suitable place to comb its hair.

Seeing Hu Wen start to comb their fur, the surrounding foxes all cheered, and the banquet officially began.

Fox-faced maids brought fruits and vegetables, and wine brewed by monkeys. Small creatures that looked like field mice were made into various dishes and served on plates. Zuo Chen couldn't eat any of them, so he put them aside.

The other foxes were also having fun. By the time the bright moon was high in the sky, most of them were so tired that they lay down on the ground to sleep. Some of them were so drunk that they raised their four paws to the sky and bubbles were coming out of their heads.

Several big monsters were wary of Zuo Chen at first, but after a few drinks, they became enthusiastic and pulled Donkey Master to treat him like brothers, almost becoming sworn brothers.

The young lady had fallen asleep. Hu Wen then put down the comb, carefully took her off his legs and put her aside.

He trotted over to Zuo Chen and bowed:
"I've met the Taoist priest."

Zuo Chen glanced at the unfortunate child and asked with a smile:
"you know me?"

Hu Wen smiled bitterly and said:
"I am the King of Wei, and when I was traveling in Hu Wen, I heard of the Taoist master's name and came out to look for him, but I never had the chance to meet him. I didn't expect to meet you under such circumstances."

"It's not too late to meet." Zuo Chen picked up the wine bowl and handed it to Hu Wen: "Try this monkey wine first, you can't taste it outside."

Hu Benwen wanted to talk about business, but when Zuo Chen handed him the bowl, he couldn't refuse. He could only put his hands together, hold the bowl, hold it in his hands, and then take a sip.

The wine was sweet, and it seemed to sweep away all the boredom and fatigue in his heart and body during the past few days.

Until this moment, Hu Wen felt much more relieved and his mind became clear.

"Thank you, Taoist Master."

"No need to thank me, go thank the monkey who made the wine now." Zuo Chen waved at him: "We'll talk about him later, just relax and enjoy the banquet first."

Hu Wen nodded and saluted to the monkey next to him. The other party looked indifferent and waved his hand casually, letting Hu Wen take the wine himself.

Then Hu Wen sat next to Zuo Chen and picked some berries to chew.

After a while of lively fun, the big monsters were all drunk and danced around the campfire with the untied donkey. Caiyi lay on the ground with her legs spread out and fell asleep, with snot bubbles coming out of her nose again.

Hu Wen drank several bowls of wine and was rarely happy.

Just when I was feeling groggy and about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard a loud shrieking sound next to my ear.

He put his hands on his temples, frowning
"Why come again?"

He patted his head with his hands, trying to throw away all the chaotic thoughts buzzing in his mind.

"Can you hear any strange noises?"

Suddenly, Zuo Chen's voice sounded next to Hu Wen's ear.

Hu Wen nodded:

"Yes, I've had this problem since I was a kid. There's always a buzzing sound around me, but it stopped once I left Youzhou. It's really strange."

Zuo Chen heard this and pointed to his ears:

“I can hear this noise even when I enter Youzhou.

"If I heard correctly, it should be coming from the far north."
