Chapter 25: Jiangnan Zimo (2)
After drinking the red soup, Jiang Nanjun's face showed a trace of vitality, and he turned his thoughts to the immortal and demon banquet.
The so-called Immortal Demon Banquet, as the name suggests, is a gathering between the Immortal and Demon people, once a year, and has lasted for a hundred years.
Most of the people who attend the banquet will fly from the sky, and then they will come up from the ground. In the human world, he is the only one who participates as a representative, and of course he is also the organizer of this feast.
The venue of the Immortal Demon Banquet was located in the Heaven and Earth Hall in his Jiangnan Mansion.
Although the two worlds of immortals and demons have been fighting in the same place for thousands of years, fighting endlessly for the human world, since the fall of the god race, they were shocked by the power of the demon baby, and the two races no longer dared to tear each other apart, but began to try to form an alliance to increase the strength of the world.
But the old feuds in the past are piled up, how can this alliance be linked together? Therefore, the leaders of the two sides of the immortals and demons made an agreement that every year in August, the human envoy mediated a banquet in his mansion to gather important people from the two worlds and drink and talk happily, hoping that the people on both sides could finally turn hostility into jade silk and coexist peacefully in the world.
Gradually, the Immortal Demon Banquet has developed into the highest-level diplomatic conference between the two realms.
However, even if the leaders of the two worlds did their best to show their goodwill at the wine table, it was difficult to stop the various small actions of the people below. Every year at the Immortal Demon Banquet, there will be a lot of bloody conflicts, so this security task of maintaining the safe and orderly conduct of the meeting naturally falls on Jiang Nanjun.
Walking out of the courtyard, Jiang Nanjun planned to go to the Heaven and Earth Hall to see how the house slaves had prepared for the banquet.
At this time, when the sky is gradually getting into the palm lamp, bright candles have been lit everywhere in the house, of course, not sung by songs, and the night pearl is used as a lamp.
Came to a high platform and thick pavilion, green grass garden, walked in, looked up and saw a large lacquer gold plaque with the edge of the sky, clouds, earth and sea, and wrote three big characters of "Heaven and Earth Hall".
The ground in the hall is really spread with gold bricks, and the door is facing the half-foot pedestal, which is the screen of the spring snow seat of the mountain with hollow relief, and the seat of the host of the banquet is in front of the screen.
In the middle of the lobby there is a roof beam and pillar of Nanmu, and the left and right sides are symmetrical guest areas, with the left sitting demon clan and the right sitting immortal clan. There were about a hundred seats on each side, and two second seats next to each seat, for the retinue of the leaders present at the meeting.
Jiang Nanjun paced slowly in the Heaven and Earth Hall, and the candlelight projected his figure on the golden floor, slender and toned, and even he saw it himself, and secretly appreciated it in his heart.
The house slaves all went to dinner, and in the Nuoda Heaven and Earth Hall, only he was left with his feet and echoes.
Suddenly, the shadow of the candle on the wall shook violently, like an earthquake. But only the shadow of the candle vibrated it, and the other utensils remained quietly in place, not moving a bit.
Jiang Nanjun stopped, stared at his toes in a daze, and said abruptly: "Why are you here again?" ”
In the middle of the tall roof hangs a giant emerald glass chandelier, which is so far from the ground that it only casts a thin shadow downward. The shadow staggered and floated on the tiles, in the form of a phoenix with flapping wings.
Jiang Nanjun's expression was not surprised, he slowly raised his head, and saw the golden phoenix resting on the edge of the glass chandelier, gasping slightly.
It has a golden phoenix crown on its head, and the two brilliant and dazzling phoenix wings have not yet been fully withdrawn, and are still spreading slightly. Unlike the Golden Crown, its long tail is multi-coloured, hanging straight down from the edge of the chandelier, like a rainbow after a round of rain, but swaying gently.
The phoenix's whole body shone with dazzling light, and although the jade glass chandelier was in its prime, it was helplessly dimmed after its arrival.
