The mage in the city wants to practice Taoism

Wang Zhoulong suppressed the unreasonable panic in his heart, hinting to himself that it was probably just the sequelae of being too panicked and anxious about what happened this morning. Last time Xie Laosi met Da Xiu, his attitude was so humble. How could something happen?

As evening approached, the newlyweds' half-traditional, half-Western ceremony came to an end. The main banquet is about to start, and there are really many people at this moment. There are really nearly a thousand people, and nearly 80 tables are full! Unlike the lunch banquet where only half of the guests came, most of the guests witnessed this grand ceremony.

The bride changed into her third set of clothes and went to toast with the groom. She drank more than a hundred cups of liquid of unknown strength from a finger-sized cup. In fact, Mao was not even drunk! However, the groomsmen and bridesmaids who accompanied the drinks changed three times. It was not necessarily because they drank too much, but more because the guests were different. The groomsmen and bridesmaids who were more familiar with the guests could help strike up a conversation...

Wang Zhoulong joined the team of newcomers, helping pour wine and cups, and receiving red envelopes and gifts handed over by the newcomers. This is also a tiring job. After all, it is a banquet for nearly a thousand people. Just dilly-dallying, stopping and walking with smiling faces is enough. My waist and legs felt like I had walked a hundred miles, and all kinds of aches, pains, numbness, and stiffness were like waves sweeping over me.

With the polite fake smile plastered on his face, Wang Zhoulong once again felt regretful. Isn't it good to just be a guest? Why did you join in to get work and help? His cousin is really that close to him?

Damn face! Damn favors!

The completely different activities in his heart were incompatible with the festive atmosphere, but it did not hinder the right smile on his face until he walked through the hall and came to the guest area where his cousin's business partner was, and saw a table of well-dressed guests. He met a woman, and the perfect smile on her face cooled down, but quickly recovered.

To be precise, it's not just a woman, it's a pair of handsome men, with decent and elegant clothes and polite posture, that guy! They can catch people's attention even if they don't notice it. This is a couple that is no less than a bride and groom shrouded in halo!

I don’t know how many people praised his style, and how many people complained about his stealing the limelight!

This is Bai Shifei, Xi Mengxiu’s ex-wife! It was Bai Shifei and her current husband who came to attend the wedding banquet of a newlywed couple.

It seemed that he had some wealth and status, so his cousin came over to introduce him and toasted with him.

The dignified Wen Zongyou casually shook his lover's hand, greeted the newlyweds warmly, and said a few words of blessing. After sitting down, he squinted at Wang Zhoulong's fat back.

"What's wrong? Do we know each other?"

Asking in a low voice in his wife's ear, Wen Zongyou was also thinking about the look in Wang Zhoulong's eyes just now, but he had no impression of this person.

There was a faint smile on Bai Shifei's beautiful face. She looked at her husband with starry eyes and said softly:

"It's okay, that person is Xi Mengxiu's childhood friend."

In fact, the dinner took too long. Some people had already become impatient and wanted to leave, but they were persuaded by their companions. The parents of the newlyweds were very particular.

By the time the newlyweds finally finished their toast and made symbolic speeches of thanks, many guests had packed their belongings, clothes, and souvenirs and were getting ready to leave.

At this moment, the light disappeared instantly, and the huge banquet hall fell into darkness. After a moment of silence, shouts and noises broke out! Many people took out their mobile phones to light up the situation, and the caterers shouted comfort and hurried to find backup power sources.

After waiting for a few minutes, the backup power supply did not restore the lighting, and someone complained "garbage..." in the dimness. The noise started again.

People were impatient to wait any longer, so they used their mobile phone flashlights to illuminate the scene, and left in twos and threes. Wang Zhoulong and his cousin stood up and apologized loudly.

Fortunately, as people dispersed and left, the noise gradually died down.

In the darkness, the lights of mobile phones gradually formed a long line and walked towards the distance. Wang Zhoulong mixed in the crowd and wanted to find his cousin's family, hoping to help him or something. As he was going against the crowd, he had to walk a few tens of meters at most, making it difficult to cross mountains and rivers.

He simply stepped aside to get out of the way of the crowd and leaned against a pillar in the hall, preparing to call and ask first. When dialing, he saw his face was a little distorted in the reflection of the screen, but he didn't care. After all, it was indeed very bad.

The call didn't go through, but he discovered something strange. He looked around and saw that the flashlights on each cell phone were like pieces of dragon scales, giving him a strange beauty! But the hall is so big, why do people line up to walk in a queue? Why do I have to go against the crowd in this crowded dragon?

I don't know when, the crowd has calmed down, and the team has changed from gathering in twos and threes to a neat queue, slowly walking out in an orderly manner.

Wang Zhoulong felt a little cold on the back of his neck, and the hairs there stood up. Beside them, Wen Zongyou and Bai Shifei walked by hand in hand. The two of them were smiling and walking in silence without looking away.

Wang Zhoulong wanted to say hello in a complicated way:

"Bai Shifei, long time no see!"

The couple ignored him at all and continued to move forward in silence with smiles on their faces. This can't be tolerated. I greet you in large numbers and with good intentions. What is your attitude?

Wang Zhoulong simply stepped into the team to stop the couple. The others saw this and went around to continue moving forward in a team. The two of them were a little confused when they found that the road was blocked by someone. After realizing it, they raised their heads and looked at Wang Zhoulong, and the smiles on their faces disappeared.

"Oh, Xiaoshun...Wang Zhoulong, what's wrong?"

Bai Shifei's voice felt a little hoarse, but it was still very beautiful, but this state was a bit strange.

Wen Zongyou turned around to look, raised the phone in his hand, and asked strangely:

"Mr. Wang, who organized this queue to leave?"

Wang Zhoulong had a strong bad feeling in his heart:

"No one organized it, so everyone went like this spontaneously? Did Mr. Wen see my cousin, who is the groom's father?"

Wen Zongyou recalled it in confusion, then shook his head. Suddenly, he pulled Bai Shifei aside with force, while not forgetting to give Wang Zhoulong a hand.

"Look at their faces!" Wen Zongyou used his mobile phone to shine on the faces in the queue, his voice a little frightened.

Just as they were talking, the queue had been tidied up again. Originally there were two or three people walking together, like a team of two or three, but now it turned into one. There was a smile on everyone's face, and the smile was perfect, even more perfect than the one Wang Zhoulong performed with the groom's team an hour ago!

"You were like this just now."

Wang Zhoulong rubbed his scalp unnaturally and turned his eyes back to the faces of Wen Zongyou and Bai Shifei.

"Do you remember why you were laughing just now?"

The two of them shook their heads after recalling it, and at the same time carefully took a few steps back. Wang Zhoulong looked at the group of smiling people queuing with strange eyes. He stepped forward and dragged a few people out. He watched as a few people woke up from a daze and asked questions.

Bai Shifei hugged Wen Zongyou's arm tightly and whispered:

"Call the police!"

Wang Zhoulong stiffened for a moment, then turned around and said:

"Speaking of which, I don't know if you've noticed, but I've made several calls since the afternoon, but I haven't been able to get through..."

Several people tried calling acquaintances and calling the police, but they couldn't get through!

"Wake everyone up first!"

Several people went to wake up people in the queue, and soon a dozen people who woke up gathered nearby. Wang Zhoulong woke up a few people and then turned around to gather with Bai Shifei and the others. After walking a few steps, he suddenly fell into a trance and was woken up by Wen Zongyou.

"What's wrong with me?"

Wen Zongyou looked bitter and pointed in the direction of the team. The few people he had just woken up returned to the team.

"At first you went against the direction and called people one by one. Then after you turned around just now, you took a few steps in their direction, and soon you became like them. Maybe you would end up like that if you followed the direction. Bar?"

While the two were talking, the people who had just been woken up wandered for some reason, walked into the team, and walked forward in silence with smiles on their faces!

Wang Zhoulong suddenly felt a creepy feeling.

At this time, Bai Shifei, who had been holding Wen Zongyou's arm, suddenly slowly let go of her hand and took a step forward in a daze. Wen Zongyou grabbed her and asked:

"Affi, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Shifei looked stunned and asked, "What?"

In just two or three minutes, there were less than ten people who were awake, and everyone else returned to the team!
