I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 83: Incident at the Banquet (First Order Request)

At the entrance of the banquet hall.

"Master Zhou, we're here."

The little maid bowed, bit her lip, and said:

"Thank you, Master Zhou."

"Why are you thanking me?" Zhou Mu smiled and said, "If I don't kick that rude man, I will feel unhappy. That's all."

He was telling the truth. He originally didn't want to cause trouble, but then he changed his mind.
Why do you want to live forever and become stronger?
He didn't dare to think about supporting the human race, suppressing the monsters, etc. At least at this moment, all he wanted was to be free.

Now that I have achieved perfection, my physique is stronger than magic weapons, and I regard the master as a child. Why should I suppress my unhappiness?

Why bother?

After waving away the maid and walking into the banquet hall, Zhou Mu was stunned again.

The banquet hall was very large, with a crowd of people bustling about, most of them drinking and chatting with each other. There were no windows in the hall, but it was extremely bright.

It’s all because of the crystal-like incandescent lamp hanging from the ceiling, which is so magnificent.

This gave him the illusion of returning to his previous life.

Zhou Mu never figured out what was going on in this era. In the breeding area alone, the clothes and conversations were all ancient and classical.

But the key point is that there are things like ceiling fans, electric lights and even dial phones, like an ancient version of the Republic of China - and he still doesn't know where the "electricity" comes from.

There are no electric poles on the streets.

Shaking his head, hiding his doubts in his heart, Zhou Mu found a corner and sat down alone.
Soon a maid brought a pot of wine and some snacks.

"Master Zhou, this is 17-year-old Spring Leaf wine, and these are snacks that have just come out of the kitchen, including drunken dog meat and lotus cakes."

"Thank you."

Zhou Mu nodded slightly, feeling surprised. It seemed that every servant in this mansion knew him. No, perhaps they knew most of the guests.

That Master Xu is no simple person.

After taking a sip of Chunye wine, he found it mellow and not spicy, with a sweet aftertaste. Even Zhou Mu couldn't help but secretly praise it, thinking it was very much to his taste.

"Young friend Zhou?"

A cheerful voice came, Zhou Mu looked sideways and saw an old man wearing a felt hat. He hurriedly picked up the wine glass:

"Master Chen, long time no see."

"Sit down, sit down, sit down. I just came to say hello. Are you used to living in the new mansion?"

This Grandmaster Chen was the one that the Senior Sister brought Zhou Mu to visit.

It is said that he has hundreds of warriors and followers in his mansion, all armed to the teeth. He is the master of that dark alley, and he half-sold and half-gave away Zhou Mu's small mansion next to the dark alley.

"I'm used to it now. Thank you, Master Chen."

"That's right. Last time Miss Yu brought you here unexpectedly, I didn't even prepare a gift for you. I'm really ashamed."

The old man and Zhou Mu clinked their glasses:

"I heard that young friend Zhou has been looking for a talisman recently. I happen to have some at home. I will send someone to deliver it to the Taibai Martial Arts School in the near future."

"Master Chen is like this, I am terrified."

"My dear Zhou, you are joking. By the way, did Grandmaster Wang from the East District make me unhappy? If you need anything, just let me know."

Zhou Mu suddenly realized at this moment. No wonder this person was so attentive today. It turned out that he knew what happened just now and must be shocked and confused at the moment.

"Thank you, Master Chen, for your kindness." Zhou Mu clinked glasses with the other party again before sending the old man away.

Then they got busy. The ten or so masters that they had visited before came to talk to them one after another and show their goodwill.
These "big shots" in the northern district were very peaceful, and they all said they would make up for the gift of meeting, and would instruct their servants to send a talisman to the martial arts hall after the banquet.
Zhou Mu felt a little regretful - he didn't need talismans anymore, as magic weapons were the key to breaking through. However, it would always be good to swallow and refine more talismans.

He accepted all the invitations and responded to them one by one. Only after he had entertained all seventeen masters did he feel a little more at peace.

But this peace didn't last long. Seventeen masters came to chat and toast. It was hard not to stand out.

In addition, as the news of Master Wang being crippled by a kick spread, many guests in the banquet hall were looking over here, and many came forward to greet and compliment them.

This made Zhou Mu very distressed. He really didn't like this kind of atmosphere.

After a while, he drank two bottles of spring leaf wine, and he had to shake his blood and sperm to make himself look flushed and drunk.
Although the guests knew that such a terrifying person would never get drunk like this, they tactfully did not disturb him any further.

At this time, the second floor.

An old man leaned against the railing, saying with great interest:
"That's Zhou Mu?"

"To answer the master, yes."

"Excellent talent."

The old man nodded slightly:

"Taibai Martial Arts School is indeed full of hidden talents. First, there was Yu Meiren who defeated all the half-demons in the outer city and swept the top half-demons with her inner strength. Now there is Zhou Mu."

"Master, this Mr. Zhou is probably still using internal energy. He doesn't look like his blood and energy have sublimated. It seems that he is more powerful than that Concubine Yu."

"It's hard to say." The old man shook his head. "By the way, who was the little maidservant following Mr. Zhou just now? Send her to Mr. Zhou's house later."

After a pause, he continued:

"I see that Master Zhou likes Spring Leaf Wine very much. Pick some good quality and old wine from the storehouse and send it to him along with the little maid."

"Yes, sir, I'll arrange it right away."

Halfway through the banquet, the atmosphere gradually became more lively, with teams of dancers coming on stage to perform and the sound of the guqin becoming melodious.

"We've seen it."

There was a woman sitting next to them, speaking calmly.

Zhou Mu hummed a few times and acted dazed:
"Girl, I'm a little drunk, so I can't talk any more."

He glanced at the woman, who had cold eyes and a cold face. She had no makeup on her face, but she was considered to have a good appearance and looked very familiar.

"East 88th Street, Chu's Restaurant." The woman spoke calmly and got straight to the point: "Your name is Zhou Mu? Do you know [Bu Zhou]?"

The blush on Zhou Mu's face faded and his expression became serious.

He looked at the dancing girls in the distance, listened to the music, squinted his eyes and said:

"Of course I have heard of the name Buzhou, but I don't know much about it."

"My last name is Luo, Luo Shuangyu, and I come from Buzhou."

"It's Miss Luo." Zhou Mu's mind turned. He had heard about Buzhou and Kunlun from Sister Bai a long time ago.

I didn’t know the meaning of these two names at that time, but after awakening my memory, I understood that one was taken from Mount Buzhou and the other was taken from Mount Kunlun.

But Sister Bai also said that although Buzhou is huge, there is a lot of intrigue inside. If someone really invites you, it is not recommended to join. "I wonder if Miss Luo wants to see me for something?"

"I invite you to Buzhou."

“Is this too sudden?”

"It's not sudden. We are not comprehensive in recruiting talents from all over the world. If you are outstanding, you will definitely be invited."

After thinking for a while, Luo Shuangyu said:

"You said you knew incompletely, but you didn't understand. I can help you understand a little."

"Appreciate further details."

"I have nine parts, as you can see."

She pointed to the incandescent lamp above her head:
"Together with the rotating fan and the dial telephone for calling people across the air, they are all the achievements of my Ministry of Industry and are Mohist ingenuity."

"Oh, that's awesome." Zhou Mu nodded perfunctorily. Having experienced the technological explosion in his previous life, he really looked down on these things.

"Let's talk again."

The cold-faced woman continued:

"The people of Buzhou are all over the Demonic Dynasty in the north and south, and even in the Buddha Mountain in the west and the Netherworld in the east. You can see traces of Buzhou everywhere."

"It is also said that the rulers of the nine Buzhou tribes are all ancient sages and true kings of the present time. For example, the five human kings of the Five Kings City each rule a tribe. Do you know what a true king is?"

Zhou Mu's expression became serious. Looking at the scene of singing and dancing in the banquet hall, he humbly asked for advice:
"Please enlighten me, Miss Luo."

"Strength, Qi, Longevity, Heaven, and Immortality. These are the five realms and fifteen gates. Above the three gates of the Immortal Path, one is a great power. Above the great power, one is a true king."

Luo Shuangyu's tone was calm:
"In ancient times, a True King of the human race would be equivalent to a Taoist Heavenly Sovereign, a Buddhist Bodhisattva, or a Lesser Saint of the demon race. He would have an endless lifespan, be immune to the three disasters, and be untainted by the five decays."

"In this era of world decline, a True King is even more extraordinary. Even a True King of the human race will be treated with respect by all the monsters. And I have nine such people."

Zhou Mu's expression was solemn and his heart was shaken. This was the first time he understood the complete realm of cultivation.
There are five realms: strength, energy, immortality, heaven, and immortality. Each realm has three levels, totaling fifteen levels.

Only above the fifteenth level can one reach the realms of Great Power and True King!
Especially the True King, who is equivalent to the Heavenly Lord or Bodhisattva. Even if he is placed in the Heavenly Court, he must be an immortal official of the third rank, right?
After considering for a moment, Zhou Mu asked:
"What benefits will I get if I join?"

"benefit?"

Luo Shuangyu then stared at Zhou Mu seriously for a long while.

She shook her head and said:

"Are you crazy? People all over the world are begging to join Buzhou. The best thing is that you can add two characters in front of your name and call yourself the shepherd of Buzhou."

Zhou Mu frowned:
"So, if I don't join you, I'll be at a loss?"

"Of course." Luo Shuangyu nodded calmly.

"Then why did I hear that there is a big force called Kunlun?"

After these words were spoken, the cold-faced woman's expression changed for the first time.

She frowned and said:
"How can a mere Kunlun be compared with Bu Zhou? Since you know Kunlun, you should also know that there are only a dozen people in Kunlun, while there are more than ten thousand people in Bu Zhou.

"Besides, although the Four Lords of Kunlun are also sages of the human race, they are not losers in the ancient times!"

Hearing this, Zhou Mu's heart moved. This was the second time he had heard similar arguments. Losers from the ancient times?
In doubt,
Luo Shuangyu snorted:

"Emperor Xin, Overlord, Ju Jun, and General Chong Tian, they are all heroes of the ancient times, but they are losers after all. How can they be compared with me, Lord Bu Zhou Jiu?"

Zhou Mu blinked his eyes when he heard it. Overlord, you don't even need to guess who it is.
Emperor Xin is like King Zhou? Who is Ju Jun?

Could General Chongtian be the one who sang "When my flower blooms, all other flowers will die, and the streets of heaven will be trampled with the bones of all nobles"?
Just as he was wondering, Luo Shuangyu said calmly:
"So, are you joining or not?"

Zhou Mu was silent for a while, then said:

"Miss Luo said that if I could enter Buzhou, I would be able to add the word Buzhou to my name, which sounds like an honor to me."

"It is indeed an honor to be able to enter Buzhou." Luo Shuangyu's tone was indifferent, without any arrogance, as if she was stating a fact, but precisely because of this, Zhou Mu felt that she was too arrogant.

He smiled:
"But my last name is Zhou, and I think 'Bu Zhou' conflicts with my name, so forget it."

Luo Shuangyu was stunned.

It’s not that there aren’t people who think highly of themselves and refuse to make requests, but no one has ever used such a ridiculous reason!
She couldn't help but feel a little angry and stood up:
"Then you take care of yourself. I think you are barely a hero, so I advise you to leave this banquet."

The words were not finished.

'squeak'

The door of the banquet hall was opened, and rumbling footsteps came in. The music of the piano stopped abruptly, the girls stopped dancing, and the guests looked back in confusion.

It's a half-demon.

A group of half-demon soldiers wearing heavy armor, holding swords and shields, stomped into the hall and stood on both sides, looking very ferocious!

There was a commotion in the banquet hall.

Luo Shuangyu raised her eyebrows:
"How come it's so fast?"

Zhou Mu frowned and stood up:

"You know? What are these half-demons here for?"

"Catch blood food, top-grade blood food like you and me."

Luo Shuangyu calmly ordered:

"Go ahead and fight them. You can help me block some of the swords and weapons. Don't be unconvinced. These are demon soldiers from the inner city. They are incomparable to the half-demons you have seen in the breeding area."

Zhou Mu was so angry at the woman's arrogance that he laughed:
"Then why don't you assist me and block some of the swords for me?"

Luo Shuangyu gave him a strange look:
"Just because I knocked out a master with shallow foundation, do you think you are too arrogant? After all, this is a breeding area, and a breeding area in a small town. There is no orthodox inheritance, and no real magic. What makes you feel that way?"

Before she could finish her words, there were heavy footsteps coming. She looked over and saw a strange creature with eyes all over its body.

"Let's just surrender." Luo Shuangyu put the drawn sword back and said briefly:

"The Ten Thousand Eyed Monster."

Hearing this, Zhou Mu decisively released all the strength he had accumulated.

If it was a real monster, he would still fight it, but what about this huge monster that could turn into a black cloud covering the sky?
It’s almost as if you think you’re not dying fast enough!

The giant monster with eyes all over its body glanced around, and when Zhou Mu was swept by its gaze, he felt cold all over and his scalp tingled.

The demon shook his head:

"Not here."

"Let's take all these human sacrifices back to the inner city first. Don't harm their lives. Young Master Yuan likes to eat live animals."
