Red Maple Twin Swords, Little Chess Saint of Li Province
The so-called people rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water.
Su Family is guarding South Lake, so it is natural to maximize its development and utilization. Whole Fish Feast will be held on time every autumn to entertain guests from all over, including nearby casual practitioners.
After hundreds of years of operation, this has even become a local custom.
Privately, casual cultivators call him Spirit Fish Feast.
Such a good family property has naturally aroused a lot of covetousness. Not long ago, a demonic cultivator invaded the warehouse.
Fortunately, Old Master Su is here, and South Lake is still firmly in the hands of the Su Family.
Xiao Chen set off early and arrived at the north side of South Lake before noon.
South Lake is more than 130 miles long from east to west and 60 miles wide at its widest point from north to south.
It is now early October, and it is still at the end of the wet season. Looking at the lake in the distance, the blue waves are vast.
The wind ripples, the light waves ripple, the distant mountains are like dark blue, the water and sky are the same color, the reeds are swaying, and the banks are covered with orchids.
It's like a fairyland on earth.
Under the observation deck built by the lake, hundreds of large round tables covered with red cloth had been set up, almost full of guests arriving for the banquet.
Many Su Lineage people dressed similarly were busy receiving many casual cultivators and guiding them to sit outside.
As soon as Xiao Chen approached, a disciple of the Su Family came up to him with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, please come with me."
He waved his hand and took out his invitation letter.
When the other party saw this, he was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that this young man who looked younger than him was actually a distinguished guest with an invitation letter.
He immediately bowed and saluted. "This junior is too blind to see Taishan. Please forgive me, senior. Senior, please wait a moment. I will inform the head of the family right away."
Then he trotted away quickly.
Soon, Su Family Patriarch Su Huaitao came in person and greeted Xiao Chen with a smile, "I've heard for a long time that Junior Brother Xiao has extraordinary style."
"When I saw him today, he was indeed a beautiful tree standing in the wind, showing off his talent."
"Where there is, Lord Su Family is wise, powerful, and majestic."
While chatting politely, the two of them arrived at the center of the banquet, above the observation deck.
This is not only the best place to enjoy the lake scenery, but also the highest place for banquets.
Standing here, you can see everything from front to back and left to right.
There are also twenty-eight small square tables placed on the stage, with Spirit Fruit and Spirit Wine placed on each square table, specially used to entertain distinguished guests.
Seeing Su Huaitao personally leading a young man on stage, many casual cultivators around him looked over.
Even the other guests on the stage looked at him curiously.
Xiao Chen has hardly gone out in these years, so although he is known to everyone in the sect, there are not many monks who know him outside.
An old man Foundation Establishment Middle Stage asked curiously, "Huaitao, I am getting older, and my memory is not good anymore."
"This little friend looks really unfamiliar. I don't know which family he is a hero from."
After hearing this, the others also quieted down and listened with their ears straightened up.
Su Huaitao introduced, "Mr. Cheng, this is me, Li Fire Sect, the newly promoted Foundation Establishment, Daoist Xiao Chen. Now I am in charge of the affairs of the sect Demon Subduing Hall."
Everyone looked surprised when they heard this.
It is rare to have such a young Foundation Establishment, but not from Five Great Families.
Moreover, as the newly promoted Foundation Establishment, he was able to directly become the manager. Is it possible that there will be another Elder with real power in the future?
Although they don't know much about the Demon Subduing Hall, they can guess from the name that it is a violent organization facing the outside world.
You may have to deal with them more often in the future.
Su Huaitao turned around and introduced, "Daoist Xiao, this is Old Man Cheng from Cheng Family of Red Maple. Together with Brother Cheng on the right, they are also called Red Maple Twin Swords."
Hiss~, who is this?
Xiao Chen seems to have seen a place like Red Maple County on the map before.
But he had never heard of the title Red Maple Twin Swords.
However, this does not prevent him from complimenting him first. "It turns out it's Old Man Cheng in person. I've admired your name for a long time."
Say hello.
Su Huaitao led Xiao Chen to sit down and said, "Junior Brother Xiao, there are a lot of things to do below, and I really can't get around to it. Please forgive me for the poor reception."
Then he told Su Wanqing behind him, "Wanqing, you stay here and accompany your Uncle Xiao."
Su Wanqing today is wearing a gold-embroidered Juyi, a red silk coat, a jade belt around his waist, three pairs of jade ornaments, and a pair of gold ornaments.
Hearing this, he nodded obediently. "Yes."
Then he held up his skirt solemnly and sat upright on the left side of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen can only be described in two words - strange.
She won't be Body Seizure, right?
After Su Huaitao left, Su Wanqing immediately relaxed and said, "Uncle Xiao, you are here. You have been following me all morning, but I am exhausted."
That's okay, the misunderstanding is cleared.
Xiao Chen asked her in a low voice, "Do you know Red Maple Twin Swords? Tell me quickly."
Su Wanqing curiously asked, "Uncle, have you never heard of it? Fifty years ago, Hongfeng Cheng Family Patriarch broke through Foundation Establishment. Since then, Cheng Family has one door and two Foundation Establishment."
"Because both of them are good at fighting enemies with the sword-wielding skills inherited from their families, they are called Red Maple Twin Swords."
"Old Master Cheng reached Foundation Establishment Late Stage sixty years ago. Cheng Family Patriarch also broke through to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage twenty years ago."
"I heard that Cheng Family is asking around for news about Foundation Establishment Pill and is preparing to cultivate a new generation of Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Maybe in a few years, it will be changed to the Three Swords of Red Maple."
Xiao Chen nodded. "I understand."
Then he deliberately praised you, "I didn't expect that you are quite powerful. You even know what happened fifty years ago."
"Of course!"
"Then do you know where the others come from? They just happened to have heard of the Cheng Family, right?"
"How is that possible! I know all the senior Foundation Establishment here."
Then, she introduced the eight Foundation Establishment Cultivator present in turn.
In addition to Cheng Father and Son, there are five people who are also the patriarchs of the other five Lineage.
There was only one middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe and a triangular beard, who was a casual cultivator.
It is said that when he was young, he accidentally obtained a inheritance of Chess Path, and thereafter he named himself Black White Child.
I have already practiced to Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and I hold a piece of Top-Grade Magical Artifact, named Jade Balance Chessboard, and is honored as Little Chess Saint of Li Province.
Chess Path is also one of Heretical Path.
However, not all monks who practice Heretical Path must be evil cultivators, and it also depends on the specific circumstances.
Similar to alchemy, talisman array, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, even tea, wine, music and dance, etc., these are the ways of practice that are differentiated from Hundred Arts of Cultivation.
It's just that it's a relatively small group, and the threshold for practice is higher.
But if you can succeed in cultivation, you will often be much better than ordinary monks at the same level.
But Xiao Chen is a little strange. "Why do you need to add a small word? Are there any experts?"
Su Wanqing shook his head. "That's not true. Although senior Black White Child is not the only Chess Path monk, he is indeed the first Li Province Chess Path."
"It's just that there was once a Golden Core True Person who was curious about Chess Path and ran to play a few games of chess with Black White Child."
"As a result, True Person won the three consecutive games."
"Since I have lost chess, I definitely can't continue to be called chess master, so I changed my name to little chess master."
Um, Xiao Chen sympathizes with this.
