The pot of tea on the windowsill had already been brewed, and the temperature was just right at this time.
Chu Yuzhi went to get it, and casually turned over five teacups, all half full. With a turn of his hand, the five teacups floated to the right place.
Today's banquet.
Zuo Guangshu said very little.
As the host, Qu Shunhua was very enthusiastic in entertaining them, and Jiang Wang, as the guest of honor, was also very cooperative.
Chu Yuzhi was quite sincere. He did not hide his affection for Ye Lan 'er, and he was generous with his praise for Jiang Wang.
However, his expression was very measured. He did not make threatening gestures, nor was he too flattering. He always maintained a distance that would not make people feel offended.
As for Ye Lan 'er …
Jiang Wang did not understand, and he was not curious.
Perhaps when he also reached the God Realm, he would be curious about Ye Lan 'er — curious about her strength in the God Realm.
While they were chatting, Qu Shunhua suddenly asked, "I heard from Guangshu that Brother Jiang asked if the banquet here could be packed?"
Jiang Wang was very embarrassed.
He mentioned it to Zuo Guangshu first, but he was just used to storing delicious food for An 'an.
Now that he knew that today's banquet was prepared by Duke Huai, how could he have the nerve to say "packed"?
What made him even more angry was that he came to the Yellow Millet Terrace at the same time as Zuo Guangshu, and he had never left his sight. When did this guy tell Qu Shunhua?
Why did he tell him everything?
"I asked Guangshu before because I was a little ignorant. I don't know what kind of place the Yellow Millet Terrace is." Jiang Wang was a little embarrassed, but he said sincerely, "I want to bring some for my friends to try!"
"No problem, leave it to me." Qu Shunhua said with a smile, "Brother Jiang, when you leave Chu, I will prepare it for you."
Jiang Wang wanted to refuse. If it were him, he would definitely not be willing to accept a favor for no reason.
But when he thought of the beauty of today's banquet …
How could he not let An 'an taste the beauty of this world?
When the words came to his mouth, they became, "Then it would be impolite for me to refuse."
"It's my blessing that Brother Jiang doesn't treat me as an outsider." Qu Shunhua's eyes were smiling, and he asked again, "Anyway, we have to have a banquet. Brother Jiang, how many people do you want? "
How many people could there be?
Jiang Wang was overjoyed and immediately said, "Two people, two people!"
Then he thought that High Heaven Pavilion was after all the territory of a certain Master surnamed Ye, so he had to give him some face. Otherwise, the next time they met, he would be angry again.
Thinking of this, he said, "Let's do it for three."
Following which he thought about that sect protecting divine beast Senior Ah Chou, he didn't know what his temper was like, but he should give him some face. As the saying goes, don't worry about scarcity, but worry about uneven distribution. If they invited the Pavilion Master but not the Sect Guardian Divine Beast, would he be angry? What if he caused trouble for An 'an?
Thus, he said, "Enough for four people. Yes, four people. "
If people who were not familiar with him saw him counting one by one, they would inevitably think that he was insatiable and insatiable.
Qu Shunhua, on the other hand, felt that this Big Brother Jiang was really a straightforward and adorable person. He chuckled softly and said, "Then let's make it for five people. I guess Big Brother Jiang forgot to count himself in. "
What a good girl!
He was a perfect match for Guang Shu!
Jiang Wang was extremely touched. He immediately stood up and said, "What should I say? Good sister-in-law, I will use tea in place of wine to toast you! "
"Big Brother Jiang, don't call me that. We haven't reached that stage yet." Qu Shunhua refused verbally, his face flushed with embarrassment, but he stood up and raised his cup.
He even reached out and pushed Zuo Guangshu. "Big Brother Jiang has stood up. Can you still sit?"
Zuo Guangshu's ears were red, but he still stood up with the teacup in his hand.
This scene was extremely similar to a newlywed couple offering tea to their elders.
Jiang Wang struck while the iron was hot. "I will definitely call you sister-in-law! Apart from you, I won't recognize anyone else! "
Ye Lan 'er obviously knew Qu Shunhua's intentions and smiled. "I heard that!"
Chu Yuzhi laughed even harder. "I will bear witness to that!"
It's a banquet, see the guests and the host enjoy themselves.
…
…
The actual meal didn't take much time. After the meal, they chatted for a few hours and drank a few pots of wine.
Jiang Wang talked about his travels, while Qu Shunhua talked about the legends of Chu. Everyone laughed and chatted merrily before leaving the banquet.
The carriage drove away from the Golden Millet Terrace, taking away the warm atmosphere.
In the carriage, Jiang Wang held Zuo Guangshu's hand tightly and said drunkenly, "Guangshu, listen to my advice. This Shunhua is a good girl. Don't let her go. "
Zuo Guangshu tried to pull his hand away in disgust but failed. "Isn't it just a meal? Why do you have to go to this extent? Let go of my hand first. "
"How can you say that! Am I the kind of person who is greedy for a meal? Of course, the banquet at the Golden Millet Terrace is indeed not bad … "Jiang Wang tightened his grip." But I saw Shunhua's quality! She is very good! Very good! "
Zuo Guangshu stepped back to avoid the spittle. "Of course I know she is very good."
"You know, and then?" Jiang Wang sighed worriedly. "Guangshu, you still have to marry her as soon as possible!"
Zuo Guangshu was silent for a moment before saying, "How can I start a family when I haven't achieved anything?"
Jiang Wang glared at him with dissatisfaction. "You two are the top nobles of Chu. Why do you still want to achieve anything?"
Zuo Guangshu said in a muffled voice, "That is the Zuo family's achievement, not mine."
"Guangshu," Jiang Wang stopped threatening him and changed to a gentle tone. He said sincerely, "I am doing this for your own good. Life was long and short at the same time. Such a good girl has countless suitors. Who knows how many people in the world are thinking about her? If you don't take advantage of her now, you will regret it later! "
"I will take advantage of her." Zuo Guangshu was unconvinced. "Every time she comes to find me, I accompany her. When I have time, I often go find her. Every time I go somewhere, I never forget to give her a gift. "
Jiang Wang paused for a moment before saying, "I am talking about confidence! Do you understand confidence? "
He looked sideways and said in an old-fashioned manner, "Young people nowadays are all uncertain. The world changes quickly. It is common for people to break up after getting engaged. How can you say that you are unswerving? Only when you truly bow to heaven and earth and have the title of husband and wife can you be considered confident. Do you understand? "
Zuo Guangshu thought for a moment before asking, "Do you understand?"
Jiang Jue was speechless for a moment.
"Unlucky child!" He flung Zuo Guangshu's hand away. "If you don't listen to your big brother, you will suffer. You will regret it later! "
"I didn't not listen." Zuo Guangshu felt wronged. "But I am only sixteen years old. Do I have to get married at sixteen?"
Jiang Jue snorted. "Sixteen is not too early. Ambition does not depend on age. Do you understand? "
"Then how old are you, Big Brother Jiang?" Zuo Guangshu asked.
The carriage drove down the long street.
Sauvignon Blanc cried in its scabbard.
After three breaths, Jiang Wang decided to completely forget about this topic.
"Speaking of which …" He was no longer drunk. He said thoughtfully, "Just now, Qu Shunhua said he was going to see Zen Master Yue … Do you know who she is?"
Zuo Guangshu was happy that Big Brother Jiang did not mention the immediate marriage. He said casually, "Yue Tiannu. Sister Qu invited her to help fight in the Mountain and Sea Territory."
Yue Tiannu? This name was strange …
"How strong is this person?" Jiang Wang asked seriously. "Do you know what she is good at and what she is not good at?"
"Her strength should not be bad. She is at the peak of the Outer Building Realm …" Zuo Guangshu paused and asked suspiciously, "What do you want to do?"
"Analyze the opponent." Jiang Wang said matter-of-factly, "Know yourself and know your enemy. You will win every battle!"
Zuo Guangshu was stunned.
What kind of person was this?
Just now, he was urging Qu Shunhua and me to hurry up and get married. How did he become an opponent in the blink of an eye?
"What are you thinking?" Jiang Wang waved his hand in front of Zuo Guangshu. "We are not married yet, right? Then we are still two families. In the Mountain and Sea Territory, we will have a fair competition! Tell me, what is the background of Yue Tiannu? "
Zuo Guangshu was stunned and said obediently, "She is a brilliant disciple of the Moon Cleansing Nunnery."
"The Moon Cleansing Nunnery?"
"It is a big sect in the Northern Territory. The Qu Family made friends with them in the early years. Do you know them, Big Brother Jiang? "
"Oh, I don't know them very well."
"This sect is mysterious and not deeply involved in the world. So relatively speaking, they are not so famous. But their foundation is there, so they are not weak … "Zuo Guangshu explained and then advised," Big Brother Jiang, don't test their skills. "
"Alright then. Since you've said so."
Zuo Guangshu nodded happily and then was stunned.
"Oh, why is he so easy to talk to this time?"
"Let's talk about the others! I fought with Xiang Bei today. Those who should know must have already known. "Jiang Wang asked," Who will participate in the Mountain and Sea Territory this time? "
"You already know them," Zuo Guangshu said.
Jiang Wang thought for a moment. "Dou Zhao, Zhong Liyan, Wu Ling, Xiang Bei, you, Qu Shunhua, and Chu Yuzhi?"
Zuo Guangshu nodded.
"There are only seven people in the Mountain and Sea Territory?"
"The opportunity to enter the Mountain and Sea Territory is obtained by relying on the Nine-chapter Jade Disc. This time, it will be the seven of us. " As Zuo Guangshu spoke, he pulled out a snow-white Phoenix Patterned Jade Annulus from his bosom and handed it to Jiang Wang. "Every person who has a nine-page Jade Annulus can bring another person with them into the Mountain and Sea Realm. That person is what we call a helper."
Jiang Wang took the Jade Disc and looked at it carefully in the carriage.
This piece of Jade Disc was the size of a palm. It was smooth and flawless, with phoenix patterns engraved on the corners. There seemed to be a kind of power flowing through it, giving it a sense of spirituality. But if one looked at it carefully, one would not know where that force was.
"Isn't it called the Nine-chapter Jade Disc? Why are there only seven places? "Jiang Wang asked casually.
"At first, there were nine chapters, but later, two of them were lost." Zuo Guangshu explained and raised his hand to open the skylight of the carriage. "Shine the sunlight on it and then take a look."
Jiang Wang put the Jade Disc under the sunlight. When he took it back, words appeared on the Jade Disc. It was a poem, engraved in the flower-style Chu language. The title of the poem was "Ode to Orange".
The text read —
"Empress Jiashu, orange Leishu.
Receiving orders and not moving, born in the South.
Deep and hard to change, even more ambitious.
Green leaves are glorious, all delightful … "
The words in the world were all born to describe the Dao. Cultivators who had seen the word Dao would not be slow to learn the words of the various countries. Jiang Wang, who had painstakingly memorized "Shi Dao Chiseling the Sea", would not be unfamiliar with the Chu language that was used in the Southern Region.
This poem was fresh and elegant, unique, and would be a wonderful work anywhere.
However, Lord Jiang did not have the ability to appreciate poems. He only felt that …
In any case, it was better than Xu Xiangqian's masterpiece.
That was all.
"Which two chapters were lost?" Jiang Wang asked curiously.
"'Mourning Ying' and 'Sorrow Returning Wind'."
"'Mourning Ying'?" The title of the poem aroused Jiang Wang's interest.
Ying was the capital of Chu, the city of the King. What was there to mourn about?
"It's a memorial poem written by the sages after the capital of Ying was conquered in history," Zuo Guangshu said and could not help but recite, "The bird flies away from its hometown, and the fox dies on the hill."
Jiang Wang had not read the history of the capital of Chu being conquered. But this line of the poem, he understood.
The bird flew thousands of miles, but in the end, it had to return to its hometown. When a fox died, it always had to face the hill where it was born.
Who could not miss their hometown?
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment.
Zuo Guangshu secretly glanced at him and took the initiative to ask, "Do you know how to enter the Mountain Sea Realm?"
Jiang Wang calmed down in an instant and asked with a smile, "How do we enter?"
"I told you before that the Great Illusionary Land borrows a lot from Chu, including the way to enter the Great Illusionary Land!" Zuo Guangshu said. "When the time comes, we will enter the Mountain Sea Realm directly through the Nine Chapter Jade Disc. Isn't it similar to entering the Great Illusionary Land through the Moon Key? "
"In that case …" Jiang Wang asked, "Is the Mountain Sea Realm also a place where the spirit appears?"
"That's not it." Zuo Guangshu shook his head. "The Mountain Sea Realm is entered with the physical body and spirit."
Jiang Wang smiled. "In that case, it is similar to many secret realms."
Zuo Guangshu also smiled. Just based on the way to enter the Great Illusionary Land, it was not reasonable to say that the Great Illusionary Land was a reference to the Mountain Sea Realm.
"No matter where you are, you can use the Nine Chapter Jade Disc to enter the Mountain Sea Realm when it opens?" Jiang Wang asked.
"It should be so." Zuo Guangshu said, "In history, there were people who lived in seclusion in Yong and used the Nine Chapter Jade Disc to participate in the Mountain Sea Realm. So in theory, if I take this Jade Disc to Qi to find you, I can also participate in the Mountain Sea Realm. "
Jiang Wang smiled. "It's just that we might not be able to keep this Nine Chapter Jade Disc."
Zuo Guangshu also smiled. "That makes sense!"
Jiang Wang thought for a while, then said, "In that case, the Mountain Sea Realm is similar to the Great Illusionary Land, spread throughout the Modern World?"
"It might be different." Zuo Guangshu shook his head. "But as for the specific differences, we will probably have to go in ourselves to find out. After all, people have only begun to talk about the Great Illusionary Land in recent years. In the past, no one has compared it to the Mountain Sea Realm. "
"What is the death rate of the Mountain Sea Realm?" Jiang Wang asked again.
Zuo Guangshu shook his head. "Almost no one dies."
Jiang Wang asked curiously, "How can there be no deaths when both the physical body and the spirit enter?"
"There are rules in the Mountain Sea Realm. Those who are 'killed' will be eliminated." Zuo Guangshu said, "But although they won't really die, their spirit origin will be weakened by thirty percent."
"By who?" Jiang Wang asked sensitively.
"By the rules of the Mountain Sea Realm. In any case, every person who dies in the Mountain Sea Realm will have their spirit origin damaged, and no more, no less, just thirty percent. "
For cultivators, losing thirty percent of their spirit origin was a very serious loss. It would directly affect their path to becoming a god.
But compared to the risk of dying in battle, this result was undoubtedly much easier to accept …
Jiang Wang calmly analyzed, "If one really enters the Mountain Sea Realm with both the physical body and the spirit, then there must be a way to completely kill the opponent and prevent the rules of the Mountain Sea Realm from protecting the dead. Otherwise, you wouldn't say 'almost'. Almost means that someone has really died in the Mountain Sea Realm, right? "
"…" Zuo Guangshu was stunned. "Brother Jiang, who do you want to kill?"
…
…
…
"Ode to Orange", "Mourning Ying", and "Sorrow Returning Wind" are all chapters in Qu Yuan's "Nine Chapters".
I borrowed them to make the key to the Mountain Sea Realm.
"Two, I'm already very satisfied.
