Chapter 383: The Bitter Old Man Asks to See
The banquet prepared by Yue Fengyun was set up in the Golden Palace, the highest place in the Golden Palace.
The Golden Palace Heaven has always been the territory of the Eight Heavens Great King and Generalissimo of the East. Among them, the highest Golden Palace has always been a place used by the leaders of the Eight Heavens of the East to solemnly receive foreign dignitaries.
The leaders mentioned here are not ordinary figures. For example, Dutong, he is not qualified to enter the Golden Palace at all. Even if the Little Heavenly King wants to use this, it must be approved by the Great Heavenly King. As for the VIPs, not to mention the status, at least they are also high-level parade envoys.
For example, when Huan Yin was in power, he was going to come to the East Eight Heavens, and Yue Fengyun, who was the Great King of the East Eight Heavens, would definitely receive Huan Yin in the Golden Palace.
Today, Yue Fengyun chose to set up a banquet in the Golden Palace for Huan Yin to catch the wind, as if the scene was reproduced back then, and Huan Yin knew Yue Fengyun's intentions.
Yue Fengyun is fully stating his position of respecting Huan because of him, and he is unabashedly admitting that Huan is because of the emperor. The scene of the year is now reappearing, and Yue Fengyun did it intentionally.
Now that Huan Yin has recognized Yue Fengyun as the Lord of the Eight Heavens in the East, it is not surprising that Yue Fengyun has such thoughts, and it is not surprising that he will set up a banquet for Huan Yin as the host after he returns. Therefore, while Huan Yin gladly accepted Yue Fengyun's kindness, he also went to the banquet as promised that day.
With Zhang Tao and Bai Kui back to the splendid Golden Palace, Zhang Tao and Bai Kui came here for the first time, and they were naturally amazed. As for Huan Yin, he thought more of the scenes he had come to when he was in the big position, so he was a little emotional.
Not long after, Huan Yin took Zhang Tao and Bai Kui to be welcomed into the golden palace, and immediately saw the row of characters standing at the front of the hall in a regular manner. There are not many people, but there are about twenty of them, all of them are characters with heads and faces, and they are all people who Huan Yin is familiar with. The first one is Yue Fengyun.
Seeing Huan Yin stepping in, everyone's faces suddenly turned grim, and Yue Fengyun led everyone to half-kneel down towards Huan Yin, and said in unison: "Dongfang Eight Heavens welcomes your lordship!"
This scene is even more similar to that year. It's just that there were hundreds of people standing in this golden palace back then, but now, there are not so many people, and even the little heavenly king has not arrived.
Huan Yin knew that the reason why there were few people was not because Yue Fengyun didn't respect him enough. In fact, on the contrary, Yue Fengyun fully considered Huan Yin's position, so he only arranged these people.
These people are all acquaintances of Huan Yin, and most of them already know Huan Yin's true identity, so Yue Fengyun asked them to accompany him, firstly, he would not let Huan Yin's true identity be passed out during the banquet, and secondly, Yue Fengyun knew that Huan Yin did not like to be publicized, so now that he is sensitive, it is enough for him to have these people as companions. And they are all old people, but they seem warmer, it is convenient for everyone to talk during the banquet, and the atmosphere will be more harmonious.
Huan Yin walked in front of Yue Fengyun in a few steps, and after helping Yue Fengyun up, he beckoned everyone behind him and said, "Everyone get up, they are all acquaintances, why be so polite?"
Everyone stood up, and Yue Fengyun said: "My lord, today's arrangement is a little shabby, and I hope my lord doesn't mind." ”
Yue Fengyun was obviously afraid that Huan Yin was too small, and felt that he did not respect Huan Yin enough, and did not recognize Huan Yin's status as the emperor. Huan Yin knew Yue Fengyun's good intentions, but how could he mind, so he said: "Lord Yue is polite, it is better to come and speak." ”
In this way, Yue Fengyun beckoned everyone to the table, and the first thing he arranged was to personally respectfully invite Huan Yin to the first place.
After sitting down, the best wine and food were put on the table one by one, first Yue Fengyun, the host, saluted Huan Yin repeatedly, and then Huan Yin also said a few words, and the banquet finally officially began.
Although the banquet was held on the most formal occasion such as the Golden Palace, Yue Fengyun also arranged it quite solemnly, but because of the people present, the atmosphere quickly became more relaxed and harmonious under the harmony of fine wine.
The people here are not only familiar with Huan Yin, but most of them are close to each other. Huan Yin and the three of them didn't say much, let alone Yue Fengyun and Yue Xiaoxian's father and daughter. Then there are Hu Zi, Jiang and Dai Tianyao and others, they are all real people, and they have just made friends from a battlefield. As for some other people, they have at least had a good relationship with Huan Yin.
For example, Wang Xuantong, the little king of the soft sky, once worked with Huan Yin to deal with the king of Boli and Lie Panruo. If it weren't for his appearance, Huan Yin wouldn't have killed King Boli so easily, and he wouldn't have had the opportunity to kill the Great Heavenly King in the green robe by chance. Although there were more transactions between them, today, the transactions have also become friendships.
The relaxed and harmonious atmosphere gradually increased the number of words spoken during the banquet. Everyone mentioned some old things, and they couldn't help but sigh with emotion, just like the most wonderful appetizer in the world.
Gradually, the wine began to become a little too much. After only a short while, the wine has passed three rounds. And on this occasion today, everyone did not deliberately use cultivation to resist the power of alcohol, so everyone began to feel a little drunk.
This feeling is very good, because this feeling makes everyone closer and closer, and it is no longer like a monarch and a minister, no longer like a general and a soldier, but a family. The Golden Palace, the most formal place in the entire Eight Heavens of the East, is now going on, as if it were a family feast.
This is Huan Yin's home, and it is also everyone's home.
At a certain moment, just as the atmosphere in the banquet was extremely strong, and some people were staggering, a steward suddenly walked in from outside.
After the steward walked in, he obviously didn't expect the atmosphere in the banquet to be so harmonious, and he was slightly stunned. But soon, he still walked to Yue Fengyun's side and whispered a few words.
Yue Fengyun waved his hand at the steward, and he went out. Then the feast will continue. But at this moment, the beard that noticed the detail just now said, "Lord Yue, is there something wrong?"
Yue Fengyun smiled and said, "It's nothing, an old man heard that the adults were coming, so he wanted to meet him, but I saw that it was not the right time now, so I pushed it away." ”
"Old man, what old man?" Beard seemed to be a little drunk, and he was chasing after the topic.
Yue Fengyun glanced at Huan Yin, and saw that Huan Yin's attention was also pulled over, so he simply said: "An old man in the Golden Palace, we all call him 'bitter old man'. ”
"Oh, is the bitter old man coming?" Wang Xuantong raised his eyebrows, and seemed to know who this bitter old man was.
"Is it that respectable bitter old man?" Bai Kui actually interjected, as if even she knew this person.
Yue Fengyun knew that he had to explain to Huan Yin, so he said: "My lord, this bitter old man is an old man with a long lifespan in my eight days in the East. According to legend, when the East Eight Days was built, there was him. And to this day, I don't know how many thousands of years have passed, and he still exists. ”
"His cultivation is not high, and he has only just reached Nirvana until now. It stands to reason that judging from his cultivation, Shouyuan will never be so long. However, he did not specialize in cultivation in his life, but liked to cultivate himself and cultivate his nature, and studied all kinds of truths in the world. It is because although his cultivation is not high, he is out of the ordinary, and he has a sense of dust out of thin air. Some people say that Ku Lao has seen through the world, and has reached a natural unity with all things in heaven and earth. In this way, he can have such an incredible longevity. ”
"In general, the image of Ku Lao is extraordinary, well-informed, and highly respected. Because of his ability to help others, coupled with his qualifications and fame, he has already become a member of the Golden Palace, a representative of the people. If the people wished, he would ask for their lives on behalf of the people. In normal times, he also prays to heaven and earth on behalf of the people, praying for good weather and good weather. ”
Nodding, Huan Yin said, "This bitter old man wants to see me, does he already know my true identity?"
