downstream

The next day, the rain stopped.

Yangjiaopo looks fresh and beautiful after being washed by rain.

Zhong Ziyuan gave the farmer some silver taels as compensation, and the three set off to return to Zhongfu.

After reporting to the Patriarch about delivering the stickers, he saw Zhong Yan passing by the main hall with a face as cold as frost from a distance.

Zhong Fufeng curled his lips and said, "That Qin Muyun followed Zhong Yan, maybe life is not easy."

Zhong Yan has always been unsmiling, and although he is not far from Zhong Ziyuan in age, he seems to be much older. He thinks that Qin Muyun is also stricter in his daily teaching. Fortunately, Qin Muyun is smart and sweet-mouthed. See how he is punished.

Even Chi Xingqian was dragged by Zhong Ziyuan to punish him for copying poems and books.

"Zhong Yan." Zhong Fufeng called to the side.

Zhong Yan looked at him expressionlessly.

"Why didn't your little junior follow you today?"

Zhong Yan was a little uncomfortable with the word "your family" in his mouth.

Zhong Yan said: "Something happened at his house, go back for a few days."

Zhong Ziyuan felt dizzy and dizzy at this moment. After all, he was exposed to the rain and cold last night, so he needed rest most at this moment.

Chi Xing concentrated on understanding it, leaving the noisy Zhong Fufeng there to ask questions, and followed Zhong Ziyuan back to the room.

Zhong Ziyuan's condition was more serious than he had imagined. Fear of the cold was uncommon, but it was not uncommon, but it was rare for Zhong Ziyuan's spiritual power to be weakened after being exposed to the cold.

Chi Xingqian found a large wooden barrel and filled it with hot water, and moved the screen over to block the front, forming a simple bathroom.

Zhong Ziyuan watched him in silence.

"How about I carry you in? Soak in hot water and sleep for a few hours to keep your body light." After everything was ready, Chi Xingqian looked at him seriously and said.

Zhong Ziyuan said: "No, I will do it myself."

He stood up and was about to take off his robe, but when he turned around and saw that Chi Xingqian was still sticking out, he said, "Get out."

Chi Xingqian smiled, "Okay."

The preparations for the glazed banquet were cumbersome and delicate, and the Zhong family was not at leisure, Chi Xingqian was arrested to help as soon as he stepped out of the door.

He felt that his patience had been exhausted from the very beginning, and he didn't quite understand why it was so complicated for these Taoist families to hold a gathering.

What's more terrible is that the glazed banquet will be held for three days, and the banquets for the three days are different.

During the few days of Zhong Ziyuan's cultivation, Chi Xingqian sighed in front of him every day, and almost whispered how hard he had worked in his ear.

Time flies, and it is the 21st of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.

Snow covered the mountain roads, and the families who received the invitations came earlier one by one, as if they were going to a fair.

The first one to arrive was the Liu family. The head of the family, Liu Shanfu, came with the clothes of fifty disciples. The blue clothes were very similar to the Zhong family. It can also be seen that there is a bit of immortality.

Chi Xingqian was bored and followed beside Zhong Ziyuan, with a bright smile on his face. He teased that the Zhong family paid too much attention to the figure of their disciples, and the Liu family didn't care too much. Although the family robes were green in color, each of them looked like a tough Wrapped up, it looks like a neat bearer.

Liu Shanfu seemed to be over half a hundred years old, and after exchanging greetings with Zhong Zhiwen, he led the crowd into the banquet room, as if they had practiced countless times, they sat down one by one without any confusion.

Immediately afterwards Tu Heya, the Patriarch of the Tu family, arrived, there were only about twenty disciples, the smoky gray robes were as long as the heels, and the hair was tied with a jade crown, they looked heroic.Chi Xingqian saw Tu Junlin who posted last time from a distance, and he happened to be looking this way, and Zhong Ziyuan nodded to him.

Zhong Fufeng sneaked into Zhong Ziyuan's side quietly, he elbowed Zhong Ziyuan and said, "Look, the monks are here."

Zhong Fufeng was talking about the Yuan family, the head of the family, Yuan Shuliang. The main spiritual weapon of their family is the stick, so Zhong Fufeng made fun of it.The Yuan family has a mighty number of hundred and ten people, in comparison, it is really a thriving population. They are the only ones in these families who, like the Zhong family, also accept students with foreign surnames.

Yan Yu led the Yan Clan to appear at the end. Chi Xingqian was quite surprised when he saw Yan Yu. He was too young and seemed out of place with the other heads of the family. Moreover, he had a smile on his face, and no head of the family would respond. Some majesty.

After all the big families arrived, the glazed banquet officially began.

The first course is the reception banquet.

This kind of banquet is generally not hosted by the head of the family, but the Zhong family is special. The second in command is in retreat at this time heartbroken, so Zhong Zhiwen opened the banquet in person.

Zhong Ziyuan seemed to be used to this kind of scene, he didn't say a word during the banquet, and ate the food in front of him with restraint, while Chi Xingqian looked at him from behind and wanted to laugh.

It took almost an hour to finish a simple meal.

The crowd was not in a hurry to disperse.

At noon, the sun suddenly became fierce and the snow melted.

The highlight of the martial arts contest finally began.

The first item is Dou Ling.

At the Liuli Banquet, we can’t compare their magic tools because each family practiced differently. For example, the Zhong family cultivated the sword for generations, while the Liu family’s magic weapon was the bow, the Yuan family’s magic weapon was the stick, the Tu family’s mace, and the Yan family’s magic weapon. knife.

Dou Ling is the most watched competition at the Liuli Banquet, and the people sent by each family must be among the best in the family. The No. 1 person is naturally famous all over the world. For example, the third son of the Tu family who won the first place at the Liuli Banquet last time is Starting from this item, he can be regarded as the best among the juniors.

The Zhong family sent Zhong Ziyuan and Zhong Yan.

Both of them had the same cold complexion, Zhong Ziyuan looked more handsome with Bai Xue lining the plain clothes.

The Yan Clan's two brothers Yan Tuizhi and Yanbai played.

Judging from the history of previous fights, the Zhong family wins more than loses.

Yanbai was younger, and he couldn't hide the unruly writing written on his face. It took only a moment for him to touch the ground with his toes, and a ray of spiritual light shot out of the air and hit Zhong Ziyuan directly.

Zhong Ziyuan took a step back and immediately rose into the air, his spiritual power propelled his body forward, the wind of his palm swept across Yanbai's shoulders fiercely, his face was calm.

Zhong Yan and Yan Tuizhi fought even more fiercely. The Yan clan's knives with knives were proficient, and their spiritual power attacks were also extremely fierce. Even Zhong Yan couldn't cope with it easily.

After several rounds, Zhong Ziyuan gradually gained the upper hand. His body was light and flexible, and every move was stretched just right. Chi Xingqian unabashedly admired him. When he turned his head, he met Tu Junlin's eyes.

He was staring at Zhong Ziyuan with a complicated expression.

The bitter wind blew his lips blue and white, and he stood there as if frozen, motionless.

Looking at the competition arena, Zhong Ziyuan and Zhong Yan have already gained an absolute advantage, and they only need to wait for Zhong Ziyuan to deliver a key blow to win the championship.

At this moment, Chi Xingqian immediately flipped his hand out and swung Zhong Ziyuan out of the field after a distance of several feet.

Chi Xingqian shot too fast, no one outside the court could see what was going on, even Yan Bai and Yan Tuizhi were a little puzzled.

However, in the battle of masters, the outcome is only a hair's breadth away.

The Zhong family lost.

Zhong Ziyuan didn't pay much attention to the fight for the top spot, this time it was because of Zhong Hengzhi's sudden death that he had no choice but to take the top spot, so even though he lost, he didn't feel any pity.

What he wants in his heart is nothing more than a pure Tao.

Anything with any fame and fortune involved is not pure.

If the spiritual power has reached the peak, it will definitely not be used for entertainment and competition.
