New Year's Eve.
A sudden snowstorm hit Datian Village last night, covering the village with a thick layer of snow.
It's still snowing today, but the wind has stopped. As dusk approaches, the village suddenly becomes lively.
The sound of crackling explosions was heard endlessly, mixed with the innocent and cheerful laughter of children.
Collect wild pods that grow in the mountains or beside the fields, dry them in the sun and sift out the beans. Just fill them into bamboo tubes or wooden poles and light them with fire, and the dried beans will explode into a ball of tofu.
The bursting sound is crisp and loud, and it is said to have the effect of expelling Evil Spirits.
This is said to be unlikely to be true, but the popped bean curd is actually sweet and delicious, and has become the best snack for the children in the village during the Chinese New Year.
If you can dip it in some honey, it will be even more delicious!
In Village Chief's residence, Xiao He brought a large bowl of freshly popped beancurd to the dining table.
The girl's face was red and she looked very excited.
The table is already filled with delicious food.
This New Year's Eve dinner was prepared by the most skilled chef in the village. All the ingredients were spiritual ingredients and jointly contributed by three elders.
After inviting Exorcism Drum back, Wang Chen's prestige in the village rose to its peak, and they were even more flattering to Wang Chen.
Picking up the ivory chopsticks on the table, Wang Chen smiled and said to Xiao He, "Sit down and eat together."
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed and he stood up immediately.
Xiao He, who didn't know why, was immediately startled.
Wang Chen looked at the closed door, his eyes sharper than ever before.
Squeak!
Village Chief's residence's door suddenly opened automatically, and a slender figure flashed into the courtyard with the wind and snow in the sky.
Seeing the visitor, Wang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stepped out of the room to greet him, "I've met fellow Daoist!"
This uninvited guest is none other than Luo Zhen!
I haven't seen him for a few months. This West Sea Sect Southern Patrol Division Cultivator doesn't seem to have changed at all, but there is a hint of weather in his eyes.
He smiled and said, "You should call me senior brother now."
It's done!
Wang Chen was immediately overjoyed. "I've seen Senior Brother Luo, please come in and talk!"
Luo Zhen was not polite and sat down at the dining table.
"Well, the food is good."
Wang Chen really didn't expect that the other party would come to tell him the good news at this time today.
If he knew, he would definitely add hundreds or thousands of spiritual stones to buy better spiritual materials to entertain this senior brother West Sea Sect.
"Tonight New Year's Eve, the chopsticks haven't been touched yet for the New Year's Eve dinner. If senior brother doesn't mind, just make do with it and eat some."
Wang Chen personally poured a glass of spiritual wine for Luo Zhen, and at the same time motioned to Xiao He to leave first.
If there are two people, he can have New Year's Eve dinner with Xiao He at the same table, but it would be inappropriate to entertain Luo Zhen.
After all, the difference between superior and inferior is too deeply rooted in people's hearts in this world.
In addition, it is not appropriate for Xiao He to hear the content of his conversation with Luo Zhen, so as not to cause trouble or distress to her.
Luo Zhen picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, sighing, "This is the first time for me to have New Year's Eve dinner in so many years."
This is a monk with a story.
Wang Chen thought silently in his heart, while showing an awkward yet polite smile.
Luo Zhen shook his head, then raised the wine bottle. "Come on, junior brother, let's have a drink first!"
Since the other party is interested, Wang Chen should accompany him.
The two of them exchanged glasses of wine and drank from a pot of spiritual wine.
Wang Chen finished drinking the spiritual wine he had brought, and Luo Zhen took out wine jars one after another from his storage bag.
The two of them drank this New Year's Eve dinner for a full two hours!
He probably drank thousands of spirit stones.
By the end of the drink, Wang Chen couldn't help but feel a little drunker.
This kind of drunkenness is not caused by drunkenness, but caused by absorbing too much spiritual power in a short period of time.
Similar to the effect of Spirit Intoxication.
In contrast, Luo Zhen, who had a much more advanced cultivation level, remained calm. He also kindly reminded Wang Chen: "When you go to the Inner Sect in the future, you have to practice your drinking ability, otherwise you will be bullied."
Wang Chen is curious. "If you go to the Inner Sect, do you have to drink alcohol to decide?"
Luo Zhen said meaningfully, "You will know when you go there."
After a pause, he put down his wine glass and continued, "I am here to formally inform you that your contribution has been reviewed and approved by Merit Affairs Division, and reported to the sect for the inner disciple reward."
"After the New Year, you can go to Central Region and report to the sect!"
Saying that, Luo Zhen took out a shining piece of Jade Tablet and gave it to Wang Chen: "Congratulations."
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Wang Chen took the piece of Jade Tablet with both hands and felt it was heavy.
The front of Jade Tablet is engraved with three ancient characters "West Sea Sect", followed by his name.
The shape of Jade Tablet is very simple, without any fancy decorations.
But Wang Chen feels that this Identity Token is extraordinary, like a top-notch Law Artifact.
There must be something mysterious in it!
"Research it yourself slowly."
Luo Zhen saw through Wang Chen's thoughts at a glance and said, "Remember, the cards are there and the people are there, the cards destroy the people."
Wang Chen's heart trembled. "I understand."
He immediately put the piece of Identity Token into his storage bag. "Thank you, senior brother!"
"Don't be so hasty to thank me yet."
Luo Zhen waved his hand and said, "Yuan Shenkui's case is extremely involved. He has a large number of rewards hanging on him. In addition to inner disciple's reputation reward, everything else I can get has been used to deal with it."
He looked at Wang Chen with calm eyes.
"Thank you for your hard work, senior brother!"
Wang Chen handed over a storage bag that had been prepared without hesitation. "Senior brother, please accept it for your kindness."
West Sea Spirit Domain is the territory of the West Sea Sect, and inner disciple of Mountain Sea Realm's foremost immortal sect can truly be said to be the best among men.
There are hundreds of millions of monks in the spiritual realm, and I don't know how many of them have sharpened their heads and want to join them.
If Wang Chen thinks that he can reap all the benefits by capturing Yuan Shenkui, then he is too naive.
As an outsider, he has no foundation or connections in West Sea Spirit Domain.
If others want to usurp Wang Chen's credit, there are many ways to make him shut up.
Purple Mansion So what if Master, there are so many of them in remote towns!
Wang Chen was undoubtedly lucky to meet Luo Zhen.
So Wang Chen believes in Luo Zhen and can only believe in him. There is no other choice!
This storage bag contains 100,000 spiritual stones, which are prepared as benefits to the other party.
What Wang Chen wants is the identity of the West Sea Sect inner disciple!
Luo Zhen took the storage bag and weighed it, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. "You are really willing to give it up."
He threw the storage bag back to Wang Chen and said, "I am not short of these spiritual stones. If you want to repay me, do me a favor in the future. Remember whatever favor you have."
Wang Chen said without any hesitation, "Okay!"
Luo Zhen smiled, "I really saw the right person."
He grabbed a wine jar next to him, drank all the remaining wine in one gulp, and then threw the empty jar to the ground.
"Junior brother, we are destined to meet again!"
