Because of Yin Yang Technique, Liu Xiaolou was able to sit near the front row and witnessed the whole process of the feast with full of doubts.
There was actually no process to this feast. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, he finally realized that the so-called process had already been completed at the beginning. Only then did he understand that Hongluo Villa was not recruiting worshipers, but a son-in-law.
The reason why he came here and why he fell in Granny Zheng's favor was really just because of his Dian Dian beauty, and had nothing to do with anything else. For thousands of years, the Zheng family's most important consideration in recruiting a son-in-law and a wife has been appearance. Therefore, both men and women in the Zheng family are all very handsome and outstanding-looking people.
The person seeking a son-in-law today is the granddaughter of Granny Zheng and the second daughter of Venerable Zheng. Her beauty is famous in the three hundred miles around Hongluo Mountain, which is why she has attracted so many young handsome men to propose marriage. The only shortcoming is that she is said to be slightly lame in her left foot, but this shortcoming is completely overshadowed by her prominent family background and her own cultivation.
At this point, Liu Xiaolou has finally given up his thoughts. It's not that he doesn't want to marry Zheng Family's Young Lady. Of course he is willing to climb up to the top. The problem is that he can't match his family background and can't afford the bride price.
If the Zheng family really chooses him, all he can afford is only twenty or thirty taels of silver, not even a single spiritual stone or rare treasure. Even if he gives away his Lin Yuan Xuan Shi Formation Disk, the Zheng family may not take it seriously. As for Lidi Sanyuan Rope, this thing is a murder evidence and cannot be easily shown to others.
During the dinner, he briefly heard White Cloud Swordsman and Green Shirt Scholar talking about the betrothal gifts they had prepared. White Cloud Villa planned to give out ten magical artifacts, ten rare Spiritual Material, a hundred spiritual rice stones, three spiritual beasts, in addition to five thousand taels of grained silver, eight hundred pieces of silk and satin, five hundred acres of high-quality paddy fields, and a hundred spiritual stones at the bottom of the box.
Green Shirt Scholar's family is slightly less wealthy, without paddy fields or that much money, but his family has three pairs of green-headed homing pigeons. It is said that the market price of a pair of such pigeons is nearly 100 spiritual stones, and there are still some available!
When he heard this, Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but think of his own Big White Goose. If he used it as a betrothal gift, how much would it cost? By the way, I haven't seen Dabai for a long time. After I go back this time, I don't know what surprises it will bring to me. Last time, I learned how to drill wood to make fire. Will it be able to cook by myself this time?
Spiritual Sense was distracted for a while, and he was absent-minded about the banquet that followed. He didn't remember how many glasses of wine he drank or how many plates of conch slices he ate. Anyway, no one came to toast him. He either drank alone or raised his glass with the crowd to congratulate a name and event he had never heard of.
The only regret is that I didn't see Zheng Family's Young Lady's true face, and I don't know if she was hiding somewhere where she could see the banquet, looking at each one, comparing and selecting the various conditions of the suitors.
To put it bluntly, even if Zheng Family's Young Lady finally chooses him, can he marry Wulong Mountain back? You know, last year the good brother Wei Hongqing's love affair with his concubine was ultimately messed up. Xia Family would rather marry his daughter to the Zhanglong Sect as a concubine than send Wulong Mountain to be a thief...
The banquet started at You hour and ended at Xu hour. The final outcome was neither unexpected nor a little unexpected. What was not surprising was that Liu Xiaolou was defeated - Yin Yang Technique alone was not enough. What was unexpected was that the person left behind by the Zheng family was the "Junyan" with the lowest cultivation level, Shuanglong Town Ding family's son, the guy he had madly despised before.
At this moment, Liu Xiaolou had no intention of asking about the Shuanglong Town Ding Clan's background or the amount of the betrothal gift. He was somewhat disappointed. What was disappointing was not that he was not selected as his son-in-law by the Zheng family - he did not have this extravagant hope at all. What he was disappointed about was that his wishful thinking of applying for the Hongluo Villa's enshrinement was shattered, and he felt a little depressed.
But that's it. Want to change your identity and find a better background? How can anything be so easy in the world? The more you lose, the more you get used to it.
After the banquet, Liu Xiaolou said goodbye and left. The manager chased him out, gave him a small red satin bag, expressed his gratitude to Liu Xiaolou, and then went to express his gratitude to the other unsuccessful candidates.
As soon as Liu Xiaolou touched the red envelope, he immediately guessed that it was a spiritual stone, so he waited some more, feeling that there would be no more surprises, so he left Hongluo Villa. When he got out of the village, he opened it and saw that it was indeed a spiritual stone. All his disappointment immediately disappeared.
Not only did he eat a lot of snail meat and have a feast, but he also received a gift before leaving, which made him feel very good.
Next, should we continue to explore the reason for the "clicking" sound of the hosta, or should we find a way to earn spiritual stones?
While walking on the mountain road shrouded in darkness, Liu Xiaolou was thinking about the next step when he suddenly heard someone coming up behind him. Looking back, he saw that the person wearing white clothes was none other than White Cloud Swordsman.
White Cloud Swordsman's cultivation level was much higher, his pace was much faster than Liu Xiaolou's, and he quickly passed by Liu Xiaolou.
The two looked at each other, and Liu Xiaolou said politely, "Brother, are you going this way too? Haha..."
White Cloud Swordsman spat. "Bah, bad luck!"
Liu Xiaolou sighed, "Brother, why are you doing this?"
White Cloud Swordsman planned to hurry up and hurry up, but when Liu Xiaolou dared to talk back, a wave of evil fire suddenly hit him and blocked him in the way. "Why do you have to do this? Bad luck is bad luck!"
Liu Xiaolou frowned and said, "I didn't provoke you, did you? Why bother to hurt others with your words?"
White Cloud Swordsman said angrily, "If I didn't live in the same hospital as a thief like you, how could the Zheng family not choose me? Do you think it's not bad luck?"
Liu Xiaolou said, "Brother, I lost the election and I understand that I am in a bad mood. Why should I blame others? The so-called meeting means destiny..."
White Cloud Swordsman shouted, "Why don't I just take it out on you?" With a flash of cold light, White Cloud Sword raised a three-foot sword and struck Liu Xiaolou on the head.
Liu Xiaolou had heard him report his cultivation. The acupuncture points he had opened were undoubtedly far greater than his own. Lidi Sanyuan Rope would definitely not be able to hold him back. Three Xuan Sword had not yet refined his sword light and was definitely no match for him, so he had no choice but to throw out the formation disk.
Lin Yuan Xuan Shi Formation, this is Liu Xiaolou's biggest means of self-protection at present.
White Cloud Swordsman's cultivation level is indeed much higher, but he is trapped in the formation. Without knowing anything about the formation, he cannot get out for a moment.
Of course, after all, it was just an illusion formation, and Liu Xiaolou's cultivation was also three levels behind, so he was unable to win with the formation, and the two sides were temporarily in a deadlock. But as time goes by, Liu Xiaolou will definitely not be able to hold on.
White Cloud Swordsman came with the highest expectations. After losing the election, he was really unwilling to accept it, so he became angry with Liu Xiaolou. After entering the battle, the sword light had no rules at all, just hacking and slashing randomly to vent his depression.
He chopped down a large piece of the plantains and green bamboos, then kicked open the hanging flower door of the pavilion by the pool, and entered with a menacing sword. When he was fully prepared to chop down the tower, he suddenly froze.
Isn't the graceful beauty in the veil on the bed the Zheng Family's Young Lady that I have longed for in my heart?
How... how... is she still dancing?
White Cloud Swordsman stayed for a moment, subconsciously stretched out his feet to hook an embroidered pier from the side, and slowly sat down.
ps: My cousin failed in arithmetic before, which caused misunderstanding among Daoist friends. I would like to reiterate that those who practice the first three Meridians are considered to have entered the practice and belong to Qi Refining first layer. This stage is also called "Martial Master" "; Those who practice the fourth article Meridians are counted as Qi Refining second layer; students Xiaolou are working hard to clear the fifth article Meridians and belong to Qi Refining third layer.
