Chapter 203: Scene
On November 15 of the second year of Chongzhen, Qin Shuhuai, the leader of the Jianghe Gang, got married. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The helmsman of the Jianghe Gang has been decorated with a new look. The two stone lions at the door are draped in big red flower belts, and they are lit up everywhere from the gate to the inner hall, and they are full of joy. Red carpets, red lanterns, and red happy words can be seen everywhere, making the entire rudder a sea of red. Qiu Dali invited the opera troupe and the lion dance team to beat the gongs and drums, and the piano rhyme and drums were so lively.
However, the cost of these things is not too high, and the real extravagance is the wedding banquet and the souvenirs for the guests. Let's talk about souvenirs first, five or six hundred souvenirs, each of which is equipped with a beautiful pear blossom wooden box, and the price of the box alone is seven or eight taels. Inside, there are silver souvenirs made overnight by silversmiths in Tongzhou, not to mention the processing fees, each souvenir alone snowflake sterling silver has to cost five or six taels. In this way, the figure alone will cost nearly 10,000 taels of silver! Speaking of the banquet, Qiu Dali invited 15 chefs, all of whom were famous chefs from various cuisines in the north and south, and the chief chef invited the old imperial chef in the imperial dining room back then, and the appearance fee of these people alone was five or six thousand taels. The chefs are top-notch, and the dishes they cook are naturally top-notch. The elephant trunk mussels and tiger skin lobsters in the South China Sea, the truffles and matsutake mushrooms in Changbai Mountain, and the oysters and crabs in the East China Sea are all "hard dishes". Let's just say that the elephant trunk mussel has to come from the South Sea thousands of miles away, which not only involves the transportation of fast horse relays, but also involves the complicated preservation process, and when it is transported to the north, the price per tael is close to gold!
Thanks to this, Qin Shuhuai didn't know about it, if he knew, he would have to feel distressed for a few months.
Qiu Dali, accompanied by Lao Dao and Meng Hu, greeted the guests who came to congratulate him at the gate. Looking at the stubble after stubble of martial arts celebrities rushing in, Qiu Dali almost laughed so much that his face cramped! He never dreamed that these big people, who had existed like legends before, would one day gather in the Jianghe Gang!
Scene, this is the scene!
With so many big names in the martial arts here, how many gangs can have such a big face? Today's scene is enough for Lao Tzu to brag for most of his life!
And what made him even more misty was that when these martial arts celebrities saw him, they were extremely polite, and they could even be said to be extremely respectful. If this had been a few months ago, these people would not have even looked at themselves!
"Kunlun sent Master He here!" shouted the little guy at the door.
Qiu Dali's spirit was lifted again, and He Chongdou, the head of the Kunlun faction, was obedient, he was the head of one of the six major factions! The Kunlun faction is generally in charge of the help by the envoys of the Kunlun faction, and the head of the sect rarely goes out in person, but I didn't expect him to come in person this time? Legend has it that his Kunlun Seven Absolute Sword Technique has reached the ultimate level, and last year because a beloved disciple was killed by the Seven Ghosts of Jinxi, in a fit of anger, he broke into the ghost cave of Jinxi alone with one sword and one sword, not only killing the Seven Ghosts but also killing hundreds of their disciples and grandchildren, which caused a sensation in the entire martial arts in addition to a major harm to the people of Jinxi. A character like him, ordinary celebrities just spend money to invite him and he doesn't come, but now he comes to the Jianghe Gang, and the face of our Jianghe Gang is really not small!
Qiu Dali dealt with the head of the six major factions for the first time, and he was extremely excited, and hurriedly stepped forward and said to He Chongdou, "Master He, I am fortunate to meet you." If you are far away, please don't blame him!"
Qiu Dali originally thought that why Chong Dou would only perfunctory a few words to himself at most, after all, a little person like himself who was only a fifth-rank in the Xuan Tong Realm, people might not be able to look at you squarely. But to his surprise, He Chongdou not only did not despise him, but also respected him a little too much.
"Haha, Qiu Daxia, congratulations!" He Chongdou smiled and said, "Qiu Daxia has a good way of teaching, so that the martial arts has more young talents, which is really admirable and enviable!"
If ordinary people said this, Qiu Dali didn't feel anything, but when these words came out of the mouth of He Chongdou, the head of the Kunlun faction, he couldn't say it.
Hurriedly said, "Where is it, Master He has praised it! He is in charge of the Kunlun faction, Kunlun disciples are all over the world, and the name of chivalry is spread far and wide, if you want to say that people are admirable, it is also You who is in charge!"
He Chongdou smiled again, "Qiu Daxia doesn't have to be too humble. The leader of the Jianghe Gang Qin is famous all over the world, and he is powerful in martial arts, who doesn't know that you are his only master?"
As he spoke, he took out a small box from his sleeve, handed it to Qiu Dali, and said, "Qiu Daxia, this trip was in a hurry, and I didn't prepare any decent gifts. Here is a 'Snowy Toad Incense Pill' specially made by my Kunlun Sect, but don't dislike it!"
Qiu Dali's heart was shocked, the "Snowy Toad Incense Pill" is the world-famous healing elixir of the Kunlun Sect, and it is a valuable treasure in the martial arts! The raw materials of this elixir mainly come from the snowy green toad that is only available on the top of Huashan Mountain, and the back of this toad has a peculiar "condensation" with medicinal fragrance, and after refining the Kunlun Sect's unique secret method, it is said that it can reshape the meridians and recreate the six internal organs, that is to say, no matter how many serious internal injuries are suffered, they can be brought back to life! At least 100 "condensation" from the backs of snowy green toads need to be collected, and its yield can be imagined. It is said that the Kunlun faction can only collect enough raw materials to make a "Snowy Toad Incense Pill" every ten years on average, so this kind of elixir is like a legend, and few people in the martial arts have ever seen it, let alone be lucky enough to get it! How many seriously injured martial arts heroes went to Kunlun to ask for this elixir, but who has ever gotten it? I didn't expect He Chongdou to give one as soon as he made a move this time, how big is this gift? It is simply extremely huge!
Qiu Dali was suddenly not calm, and was organizing some high-sounding words in his mind, but he didn't expect the other party to take out a small box and hand it to him.
"This is a condensing pill, which was given to Qiu Daxia by the old man, and I ask Qiu Daxia not to dislike it. ”
Qiu Dali was stunned again, thinking that he had misheard.
The dignified head of the Kunlun faction gave himself a gift? He was just an unknown person of the third rank in the Xuantong Realm, and if it was usual, he would not be willing to give gifts to others! But now it is reversed? If this was placed half a month ago, even if he was killed, he would not believe it!
The Condensing Pill is a superior elixir for cultivating internal strength, and it is also extremely rare in the rivers and lakes, and the market price is at least worth a hundred taels of gold!
Qiu Dali was speechless for a while, and he couldn't think of anything else except to smile and say thank you to He Chongdou.
But at this moment, I heard the little guys outside shouting one after another.
"The head of the Emei faction, the water master, is too here!"
"Huashan sent Zhao Zhangmen here!"
"Elder Chang of the Wudang Sect has arrived!"
"Shaolin sent Zhiyun and Zhikong Master to arrive!"
The little guy shouted more and more excitedly, and Qiu Dali listened more and more excitedly. For a moment, he felt like he was in a dream. But after thinking about it, I decided that this was definitely not a dream - because I would never have dreamed such a big and outrageous Spring and Autumn dream!
So these are all true!
He suddenly realized that the Jianghe Gang had really stepped into the ranks of the top sects in the rivers and lakes. And he seems to have joined the ranks of the "big guys" in the rivers and lakes!
Those "big shots" who never dared to think of it before are now standing in front of themselves in a real way, greeting themselves with a smile, and even handing themselves over with generous gifts.
I, Qiu Dali, am I on an equal footing with them now?
He wasn't sure.
The only thing he can be sure of is that he can stand side by side with these people because he has an apprentice, his name is Qin Shuhuai.
