Old Gong always wants to feed me fat

There were many people at the banquet.The dignified guests at the banquet are dressed in fragrant clothes and shadows on their temples, and their cups of wine are intertwined, and their conversation is extraordinary.It reminded Cang Doushan of Mrs. Qinghe's private banquet.

Those people all died in Ningshang Mansion.

He knows people who have bought his calligraphy, and he can chat for a few words, discuss poetry and painting, and the atmosphere is peaceful.Weisheng knows neither poetry nor painting, and his only skill is talking about the mountains, and he can still scare people. He probably thinks he is some low-key nobleman, and they have a good chat.

There are also fresh and tender snacks to eat, and high-quality black tea to drink.

Before all the people came, everyone was chatting casually, and gradually the number of people increased.Zhao Wuya, the host of the Green Wild Banquet, appeared on the stage in high spirits, announcing the start of the banquet.

At the beginning of the banquet, the young girl will hold the tender willows in early spring, dip them in the ice-free water of the stream, and gently pump them three times on the left and right cuffs of the guests, implying that the bad luck of the year will be washed away and the spring will be prosperous.Finally, everyone went up the mountain on foot, not taking the usual mountain path, but walking on the green grassland, aiming at the deepest part of the plum forest.

"Is this a rush of idleness?" Weisheng murmured to himself, outing is just going to the suburbs to step on the grass, what did the grass do wrong?

Cangdoushan said: "It's just a custom, the grass in spring is very tough, and it doesn't take long for it to stand up after stepping on it."

Weisheng looked ahead, seeing more and more grass: "Where are we going?"

Cang Doushan comforted him: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't worry."

Candoushan said it was too fast, but in fact he still walked a long, long way, and met Le Zhengying on the way.He was going to come with Yang Zhibai, but he didn't want Yang Zhibai to transfer away first, leaving him lonely and cold.

Speaking of this, he said in a sour tone: "It was agreed that whoever gets promoted first will be the dog. He said at the beginning that I would definitely become a dog. Unexpectedly, he was the one who became the dog first."

Cang Doushan smiled and said: "Lord Lezheng, don't worry, there will always be a day when you will be a 'dog', and you can sit on the head of Yang Gou."

Le Zhengying smiled brightly: "This time the nobles gather at the Green Banquet, maybe someone will take a fancy to me."

Cangdoushan responded: "Master Lezheng is full of talent, and Bole will always appreciate it."

Weisheng couldn't get used to listening to literati bragging, so he hurried on his way.It was suitable for Zhao Wuya, who was walking at the front, to stop to rest, and the noble servants immediately spread a thin blanket on the grass, compacted the grass, put it on the table and cushions, and burned incense and placed fruits.The distinguished guests gathered in small groups, full of smiles.

Zhao Wuya clapped his hands: "Sing and dance, play music." The musician and dancer came out in response.In the open space in the middle, a huge grass pavilion called Wuyutai slowly descended.Herbs are planted all over the grass pavilion, which is very delicate and fragrant.The dancers dance in the pavilion, and the musicians sit around the pavilion, drumming and blowing the sheng.

The cold wind was blowing on the mountain, and the fairies in the celestial dresses were fluttering in tulle, and their long sleeves were like snakes. After looking at Weisheng for a long time, the long sleeves never touched the ground.

The way the nobles play is really different, amazing.

The servants of the Zhao family poured wine for the distinguished guests. Weisheng took a good look at the wine when he got it. The wine was pale gold, and there were fine gold flakes floating up and down inside. Do you see if this is gold?"

Cang Doushan said: "It should be."

Weisheng was startled: "Isn't gold poisonous if swallowed? How can you still drink it?"

"It's okay to drink less." Cang Doushan felt that the Zhao family produced a golden wine, which was purely showing off their wealth and lost the demeanor of a wealthy family. "It's actually not very good to drink."

Whether it tastes good or not.Weisheng took a sip, the taste was neither bad nor bad, it may not even be as good as the wine sold in small wine shops on the street, but there is gold!Once decorated with gold, it immediately becomes extraordinary.Weisheng took sips cherishingly, a little wanting to filter all the gold out of the wine.

Cang Doushan couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "If you drink too much, you may be poisoned."

Wei Sheng righteously said: "Anyway, you will find someone to save me!" Hearing this, Cang Doushan couldn't laugh or cry.

Over there, Zhao Wuya ordered the group of dancers to be withdrawn, and said loudly: "Today's Qingyan Banquet is always boring with etiquette and music. I invited a puppeteer from a distant foreign land to perform some tricks for everyone."

Exotic?Puppeteer?Cang Doushan's eyelids twitched. During his lifetime, foreign puppet masters belonged to the same category as evil cultivators in the world, and they should be beaten by everyone.

Nail the "soul-leaving wood" on the joints of the living people, and apply the secret medicine all over the body, so that the witch can manipulate the movements of the living people at will, just like puppets.The evil of this spell is that the puppeteer can manipulate hundreds or even thousands of puppets when there are enough soul-leaving wood and secret medicine, and the living puppets are conscious and powerless to resist being manipulated by the puppeteer. They will also go mad and die under the poisonous effect of the secret medicine.

When Xihezong became the largest sect in the world, he united all the orthodox sects and tried his best to kill all the cunning puppet masters in the world one by one, shocking the world and successfully establishing the prestige of Xihezong , In exchange for a hundred years of peace.

Unexpectedly, thousands of years later, the puppeteer has come back from the ashes, and is still regarded as a juggler for selling skills!Cang Doushan's right eyelid twitched wildly, extremely disturbed, he squeezed forward, trying to see clearly.

The puppeteer was wearing a black robe, with the brim of his hat hanging down to cover most of his face, he was very good at playing tricks.What Cangdoushan cared most about was the puppet, and he was so anxious that he almost stood on tiptoe to look.

The puppet followed behind the puppet master, bowed his head, and was wearing an exotic one-shoulder robe with a tassel belt around his waist, so his face could not be seen.Cang Doushan couldn't see it from left to right, and accidentally glanced at Zhao Wuya, and found that he was playing with the wine glass, with a faint smile on his mouth, and felt even more bad in his heart.

The puppeteer spoke sluggishly and stumbled: "The villain has saluted all the adults. It is a small honor to perform tricks for everyone today."

Zhao Wuya smiled and said: "There is no need to perform these empty rituals, let us quickly open our eyes."

The puppet master stuffed a grotesque porous thing into his mouth, his cheeks bulged, and he blew out a clear and sharp tone. The puppet straightened up slowly, and began to dance with stiff hands and feet. The movements were funny, imitating a monkey scratching its head for a while, The rabbit kicked its legs to eat grass, making people laugh, Zhao Wuya laughed especially loudly.

Cangdoushan didn't smile, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and when he understood it, he broke out in a cold sweat, and blurted out: "Not good!"

When he said this, he realized that he had spoken too loudly, and looked around nervously. Le Zhengying went to hook up with his Bole, and there was a stranger not far from him. Not too much, backed away, turned around to look for Weisheng, Weisheng was still tasting wine there: "What to drink! Go to Zhao's house!"

"What's the matter?" Weisheng saw Cang Doushan's anxious expression, and couldn't help becoming nervous. Cang Doushan said: "That puppet is a fool! Zhao Wuya's stupid pig, the puppet master is an evil sect, worse than evil cultivators. Evil sect! This idiot, hurry up to Zhao’s house and let the older people come quickly, or you’ll go crazy if you’re too late!”

Weisheng threw down the wine glass, and ran down the hill without saying a word, except for a few attendants who were carrying tea and fruit snacks who glanced at him in surprise, not many people paid attention.

Cangdoushan's temples throbbed wildly, nervously thinking about how to quickly rescue Hu Lie, before he could think of a way, someone over there said: "This is boring."

Zhao Wuya's smile faltered: "Why did King Huai say that?"

King Huai said: "This puppet trick is almost the same as shadow puppetry, but not as good as shadow puppetry. Shadow puppetry has music and words, and the singing is in harmony with it. But this one is just to imitate some animal movements, which is a bit boring."

Zhao Wuya's smile didn't change: "It's not difficult, it's just a matter of the soundtrack, play music!"

King Huai raised his eyebrows: "Young Patriarch Zhao, I haven't finished my words yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhao Wuya paused: "I would like to hear the details."

King Huai pointed at Hu: "I see this person, a puppet is not like a puppet, and a living person is not like a living person. When you look closely, there are tears in his eyes, but why?"

Candoushan looked at King Huai's face, it was the person standing next to him when he shouted "No", he must have heard his words, although he didn't know why he was willing to help him, but in this case , A person with status must stand up and speak more than him.

Zhao Wuya pretended to be surprised, and asked the puppet master: "Where did you come from, this puppet? Why are there tears in your eyes?"

The puppeteer bowed and saluted: "My lord, please listen to the little one. This person has become like this because he is suffering from a strange disease and is born with dementia. Playing a fixed tone with a musical instrument makes him move. The little one usually There is no one to live in, so I can make some small money..." Cang Doushan couldn't bear him to continue talking nonsense anymore, and shouted decisively: "Wait!"

He strode out of the crowd, and said bluntly to Zhao Wuya: "Young Patriarch, to tell the truth, when this puppet first came out, I felt a little familiar, and his stature was very similar to that of a guy from my shop who had been missing for several days. May I take a closer look?"

The puppet master said: "Don't talk nonsense, he depends on me..."

"Shut up!" Cang Dou Shan blurted out, full of anger, he barely suppressed his emotions, bowed deeply, and said solemnly: "Please allow me to check, Young Patriarch!"

Zhao Wuya pursed his lips, knowing that Cangdoushan was going all out this time, but it doesn't matter, anyway, the final charge is the puppet master's, so he can't blame him, so he nodded: "Yes."

Cangdoushan had dealt with puppet masters before, and he used to stay awake for thousands of miles, and finally cut off the head of a puppet master.Xi Hezong also thoroughly studied their puppetry.Walked directly to Hu Li's back, and tore off the robe—the female relatives exclaimed. After a brief shock, the male guests saw the six symmetrical thumb-sized black spots on Hu Li's back, and all gasped. gas.

The results are obvious.

The black spots are the soul-leaving wood.Every time Cangdoushan pulled out one, he would tremble and make a sobbing sound, which made Cangdoushan's heart feel like a knife was twisted.The puppet master didn't like it, so he took a few steps back and wanted to escape, but King Huai suddenly shouted: "Where are you going to escape, let me catch you left and right!"

King Huai's protector dealt with a puppet master effortlessly, and he was suppressed to death in the blink of an eye.Cangdoushan suddenly understood that this King Huai might have conflicts with the Zhao family!

Otherwise, why should he help him?

There are no good people in the court, they are all vixen who have cultivated for thousands of years.

Since King Huai helped him, he didn't mind reciprocating.With a slight bow, he said, "I would like to report to Young Patriarch Zhao, Xiaosheng still has a few words to say!"

Zhao Wuya is not stupid. At this moment, he has already seen that things are not going right, and there is a King Huai involved, and said seriously: "Mr. Doosan, I will definitely investigate this matter and give you an explanation. Now it must be Your little guy is seriously injured and needs help urgently, I will send the best doctor in the house to treat him, so don't worry, Manager Li!"

Cang Doushan sneered, and said: "I know how to cure my disease, and I also know who this puppet master is. The so-called puppet master—" He pointed at the person who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't get up, and said loudly : "Thousands of years ago, it was even more evil than evil cultivators. It was attacked by countless orthodox sects, and everyone shouted and beat them!"
