Chapter 158 The Ten Thousand Immortals Summit Begins
Yifeng City, in a certain courtyard.
The scenery is beautiful, with rockery and water, and the layout is exquisite.
Under the moonlight, there is a black coffee table placed under an old locust tree. A man and a woman are sitting opposite each other drinking tea. The faint water vapor rises and the leisurely fragrance of tea makes people feel peaceful and distant just by smelling it.
The man was making tea by himself. If you look closely at the black coffee table, you can see that there are gold threads entwined inside. If a knowledgeable monk saw this kind of wood, he would definitely exclaim on the spot.
Because the origin of this wood is astonishing. It is a golden lightning-strike wood. Unfortunately, no matter how glorious it is, it is only in the past. Now, this treasure known as the sacred tree has been made into a coffee table. If it is said to be completely useless, it is not necessarily, at least. It can also play a role in protecting the house from disasters, and the fragrance emitted from it can also prolong life for the human body.
There was a red lotus pattern between the woman's eyebrows, and she was looking at the man with a frown, "Your Summit of Ten Thousand Immortals is not appropriate."
The woman with the red lotus pattern between her eyebrows spoke normally, but with an unquestionable aura. If she were an ordinary person, she wouldn't even have the guts to look at her, but the man sitting opposite her didn't take it seriously.
The man took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
The woman said calmly: "Summon the monks from all over the world. If someone seeks revenge here and triggers a war, how will you deal with it?"
The man smiled softly, "I can suppress it with just one hand."
The man's voice was calm, without emotion or anger. He just looked at the woman sitting opposite him and said softly, "In this era... not everyone needs it."
"I don't care about how other people fight, but if they dare to cause trouble and seek revenge in Yifeng City, disrupt my business that has been running for hundreds of years, damage my shops, and scare my people, I will use the least possible means. Loss, kill it.”
"Then... bury it in the Ten Thousand Immortals Peak and use your spirit to nourish the peak. It can be considered as making the best use of everything."
The man said softly and slowly.
The woman sneered, "When did you become so murderous? If it were in the past, I should have said these words."
The man smiled and said: "That's right. You are the Lord of the Holy Land. You are decisive in killing and leaving corpses thousands of miles away. It is just an everyday thing for you."
"It's not that I'm murderous, but..." A glint flashed in the man's eyes, "You have to make a choice. Today's human race doesn't need troublemakers."
As he spoke, he sighed, "The human race is in danger..."
"Li Xundao." The woman said seriously: "To be honest, you are one of the few people I admire."
The man was stunned when he heard this, looked at the woman sitting opposite him in surprise, and then smiled and said: "Then I will accept it. Hahaha."
He continued: "However, you are actually right. After all, this first Ten Thousand Immortals Summit was a lot hasty, and many things were indeed inappropriate."
"Without the help of those old guys from the Divine Calculation Sect, it would be very troublesome."
Li Xundao sighed.
It is undeniable that he did not do well enough in this first Ten Thousand Immortals Summit.
The influx of a large number of monks has indeed affected the order in the city. In addition, there are various unexpected problems that he did not expect at the beginning.
Li Xundao thought of something. He looked at the woman sitting across from him and asked, "Your Holy Son of the Holy Land is also in Yifeng City and is staying at the Changfang Inn. Why don't you plan to meet him?"
"What's there to see?" the woman replied lightly, taking a sip of tea and disapprovingly.
"She is really a heartless and unrighteous woman." Li Xundao said with a smile.
······
Three quarters of a hour.
The streets were deserted, but there was an undercurrent.
The people in Yifeng City had all fallen asleep. Although they had also heard the news that the richest man in the city, Li Xundao, was inviting guests at that hour, only a fool would believe it, and the road at night was very dangerous. Even in the city, there were fights from time to time. When a calamity occurs, the people want to stay at home and dare not go out easily.
The monks also maintain a tacit understanding and try not to disturb the mortals. They walk silently. If they meet a fellow Taoist on the road, they will bow their hands to show that they have said hello.
Li Changxiao was quite distressed.
Because for this Ten Thousand Immortals Summit, it was not a good time to choose, but it had to be at three o'clock in the afternoon. Normally at this time, he would be asleep.
He slowly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and thought in his heart, if it wasn't for the first Ten Thousand Immortals Summit, he was really curious, otherwise he would have fallen asleep and ignored the flood.
I quietly got off the inn and walked on the street. It was pitch dark. I could barely see my fingers when I stretched out my hand. I could only rely on the faint moonlight to move forward slowly. Without cultivation or martial arts, no one would dare to walk on this night road.
And all the restaurants that claimed to be entertaining guests were dim, with only an oil lamp burning outside the door.
The firelight flickered in the lamp.
Almost all of the restaurants in Yifeng City are owned by the richest man in the city, Li Xundao. There are thousands of them. One can imagine how much manpower and material resources are required to do this. But even so, it seems that they still cannot accommodate tonight's customers.
This is indeed a bit beyond that person's expectation.
The Summit of Ten Thousand Immortals never takes place over time. According to that person’s assumption, not many people could come to this first summit. After all, without the blessing of spiritual energy, the efficiency of spreading news is extremely low, and many monks are hiding. In the deep mountains and old forests.
But even so, the arrivals are still like crucian carp crossing the river. Fortunately, most of the monks are smart and cautious, and know that it is not appropriate to have too many monks in the city. After walking around in the city, they left the center of the storm and went to the wild or several nearby cities. wait.
Always pay attention to the information of the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit, and learn that tonight, the monks living in the city and the monks watching outside the city almost all flocked to the restaurant in the city. In less than a while, it was already overcrowded.
From this point of view, the consideration of the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit does have many shortcomings, but this heart for the world is beyond words. Even if there is something wrong, just complain a few words. If someone really dares to scold, I am afraid that there will be many dissatisfactions.
Li Changxiao walked on the road and met many famous strong men. He casually pushed open the door of a restaurant, and it was still dark inside.
"Daoyou, please come with me."
A voice sounded in my ears.
In the darkness, Li Changxiao followed his followers and came to a small single room.
The room was very small, with a stool, a table, and a candle.
The attendant lit the candle, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Fellow Daoist, just sit here and wait."
"If there is anything wrong, please forgive me."
Li Changxiao bowed, "Of course."
The attendant closed the door and left.
Li Changxiao sat on the stool and observed the compartment. It was very small, about four square meters, a little narrow and cramped. There was a wooden window on both sides for ventilation.
He opened the window and let the wind blow in. The candlelight flickered. He looked at Yifeng City. The towering restaurants must be full of people, right?
