The Monk

Chapter 67: Banquet for Zhang Ai

Song Yinglong, the elder of the Wuliang sect of the Imperial Preceptor in Songcheng, sat in the hall with a frown. He looked at the kneeling person below and asked, "What did you say? That man is harvesting crops in Xiaowangzhuang?"

"Yes." The kneeling soldier below was also full of questions. Immortal cultivators grow vegetables, and no one will believe them if they say it.

"What does that person have to do with Xiaowangzhuang?" Song Yinglong also couldn't figure it out.

"I don't know, but the Imperial Master has told me not to get too close to the Immortal Master. I looked at him from afar and saw him wearing a green shirt, accompanied by three yellow, white and black monsters. I identified him and hurriedly came to report. It’s better to go to Xiaowangzhuang to check.”

The Imperial Master wanted to say something else, but a servant outside the hall loudly announced: "The princess has arrived." Following the voice, Song Yunyi hurriedly walked in, looking pretty and cute in casual clothes. After entering the hall, Song Yunyi bowed to Imperial Master Yingying, and then asked, "Have you heard any news about that person?"

Imperial Master Song Yinglong's eyebrows rose again, and he stared at Song Yunyi with a strange expression. After a while, he said something: "Does Her Majesty know that he is an immortal cultivator? And he is also a master at the alchemy stage?"

Song Yunyi whispered back: "I know."

Song Yinglong added: "The technique he cultivates is very strange. I can't find any trace even if he deliberately suppresses his energy. According to the traveler, he can kill the middle-level monks in the Danjie stage without any harm. The origin of this is unknown. The princess had better keep her distance from him."

Song Yunyi refused to give up and whispered: "But, after all, it was him who saved me. I know how to repay my kindness, let alone the noble princess? No matter what, I have to say thank you. Besides, he not only saved me, but also saved Yunzhi." He Yiru also rescued a dozen girls who were kidnapped, and also saved many innocent people. The emperor also said that he would hold a palace banquet to reward him. "

Song Yinglong fell into deep thought. The wanderers had lost more than a dozen people in hunting down the demon. In the end, all the credit was given to the young man in green shirt. Judging from their words and deeds, it seemed that they were eager to clear up the relationship. There must be a reason for this. The most bizarre thing is that the young man appears out of thin air, no one knows where he came from, kills the devil easily, and then works on the farm? The young man's magical weapons were a five-sided flying cymbal and a snake whip, and he was accompanied by three monsters. However, after searching the countries such as Song, Lu, Chu, Yue and other countries, there was no such person among the alchemy masters. It was really suspicious. Asked the servant: "That young man's only magical weapons are flying cymbals and snake whips?"

"Many people see these two things in front of the ancestral temple."

The Imperial Master thought about it and said to Song Yunyi: "Your Highness Princess, I will personally invite him and see the style of contemporary young heroes." After hearing this, Song Yunyi was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. Thinking of his appearance when he bravely saved her, I really wanted to see him again.

Zhang was afraid that he would be busy working in the fields, so he would stand up from time to time and beat his waist a few times, then bend down to collect the vegetables. Three dogs found a mouse, chased it, frightened it and played with it. There are many farmers working hard around. It was an ordinary afternoon, but suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves, and a convoy in the distance was speeding towards the vegetable fields. As the cavalry advanced, hundreds of elite knights set up defenses along the way, leaving only a simple carriage parked at the end of the field.

Some farmers recognized the carriage and whispered: "The carriage of the imperial master, could it be the imperial master coming?" Zhang Ping also found it strange. He swept his consciousness towards the carriage and found nothing. He knew that there was a master sitting in the carriage and summoned three big dogs. , tilted his head and looked at the carriage.

At this time, someone in the carriage spoke loudly: "Song Yinglong, the Imperial Master of the Song Dynasty, came to welcome Shaoxia Zhang into the palace. The young hero acted righteously to eliminate demons and rescued Princess Anping. In order to repay his great kindness, the emperor held a banquet in the palace to invite the young hero. Please don't refuse. ”

Quick enough, now you know my name? Thinking that he had been staying at the Songcheng Inn a few days ago, it was normal for his name to be found out. He took a few steps forward and walked out of the vegetable field, clasping his fists and saying: "The national master is ridiculous, such trivial things do not deserve the title of chivalrous person."

The curtain of the carriage opened, and a tall man with long hair and thick eyebrows stood out. He smiled lightly and said: "Young hero is too modest, please get in the carriage and talk about it."

Zhang was afraid that he would be in trouble, so he originally planned to go west to the Lu State after helping others collect the vegetables. Unexpectedly, the old guy got into trouble. Seeing how fierce he looked, it was better not to offend him, so he replied: "Thanks to the Imperial Master, I can't sit down." If you are used to the carriage, please ask the Imperial Master to go ahead and follow behind."

The Imperial Master secretly laughed in his heart, knowing that this boy did not want to deal with him. He stepped out of the carriage, landed in front of Zhang Ai and said, "In that case, my Imperial Master will accompany Zhang Shaoxia on this journey."

The villagers in Siye suddenly saw the imperial master, and they all knelt down and prayed devoutly. Song Yinglong didn't even look at him, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Awei: "Please."

Helpless, Zhang Ping had no choice but to walk to the palace with Song Yinglong. The more he walked, the more he regretted it. He actually walked a short distance for a long time and still didn't arrive. There was also the imperial master who kept asking questions. Zhang was afraid that he couldn't hold on anymore, so he said loudly: "No, my stomach is bad." , I will go first, please wait for me at the entrance of the palace." After saying this, the figure ran forward quickly. Song Yinglong laughed and said: "Zhang Shaoxia is indeed very capable. You are the first person to have trouble with the Alchemy Monk." The loud voice spread throughout the country, and Zhang was so embarrassed that he ran away and blamed himself: "I didn't make up this lie well, failed!"

He saved the princess and his efforts were unparalleled. Emperor Quan of the Song Dynasty ordered a banquet of thanks in the palace. Song Yunyi, Song Yunzhi, and Zhang Yiru greeted him at the palace gate. Prime Minister Zhang Zhongyuan, Victory King Song Que, and State Counselor Song Yinglong were at the banquet to accompany him.

Zhang was afraid of this awkwardness and felt as uncomfortable as being bitten by maggots from the moment he entered the palace. The three eldest ladies were all dressed up, with jingle bells and sultry fragrances. After thanking Zhang for saving his life, they walked lightly on their waists. The one walked slowly, but from time to time he peeked at the details with his beautiful eyes. The reward made Zhang Awei very uncomfortable, and he secretly determined that he would never walk again if he could fly! Song Yinglong, an old treacherous man, followed behind, snickering endlessly.

Finally, they entered the side hall. The royal banquet had been prepared. Several important ministers greeted them in front of the hall. Zhang was afraid that he would have to talk nonsense with everyone, so he finally sat down to eat. The emperor came, so everyone stood up to see him. Let’s talk nonsense and then sit down to eat.

Emperor Song Quan did not expect that Zhang Weisheng was so young, so he opened his mouth and asked: "How old are you?" Zhang Weishin said that age is really a problem when going in and out of Nitian Cave. No wonder Lin Sen didn't know his age, so he hesitated and said: " About seventeen years old." After saying this, others didn't care. Song Yinglong immediately changed his expression and asked again: "Are you seventeen years old?" Zhang Ain touched his nose and said, "That's okay." Song Yinglong didn't even eat. Staring at Zhang Afraid, seventeen? Seventeen? Seventeen pills? Suddenly he remembered something and asked: "Are you a disciple of Yue Kingdom's Tianlei Mountain?"

Zhang Ping was also surprised and asked: "How does the Imperial Master know?" The name can be found at the inn, but how can the identity be checked? Not many people in the world know me.

When Song Yinglong saw Zhang Weijian admitting it, he slowly shook his head and said: "I originally thought that the common people had misrepresented it, but I didn't expect it to be true. The real descendants are to be feared."

Zhang Weijing understood immediately, thought for a moment, stood up and said with his hands in hand: "Please ask the Emperor, King Sheng, Prime Minister Zhang, the Imperial Preceptor, the two princesses and Miss Zhang to keep the secret for me. I don't want to cause any trouble to my sect by acting recklessly in private." Disaster."

Song Quan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Shaoxia Zhang, there are no talkative people here. Besides, you have made great contributions to saving the driver, and you are too late to be rewarded. How can you reveal your identity? Shaoxia Zhang, you saved Yunyi and the others, but you are a cultivator of immortality. Let me be honest." I'm in a dilemma, I don't know what kind of reward I should give. Why don't you make a condition, as long as I own the Song Dynasty, I will find it for you. "
