Chapter 54: Ghosts and Gods Attend the Banquet and Drink Fine Wine
After waiting for a while, figures entered the Qingming Palace one after another. The banquet gradually filled up, with only a few seats still vacant.
Li Daoxuan looked at the people who came to the banquet. Among them were Taoists, wizards, monks, and even monsters!
For example, the charming woman in the red dress next to Li Daoxuan. Her clothes are thin, and her fair skin can be vaguely seen. Her beautiful eyes are moving, and there is a charming smile at the corner of her mouth.
There is an evil spirit about her!
However, this evil spirit was not foul, but instead had a hint of freshness. It was obviously not the kind of monster that did all kinds of evil, but was obtained through his own practice.
Come to think of it, the kind of monster that relies on human lives to practice cultivation wouldn't dare to set foot in the territory of the Green-robed Lady, let alone come to the banquet.
Li Daoxuan took out the magic mirror and secretly glanced at the beautiful woman.
In the mirror, a fox with fiery red fur flashed by.
It turned out to be a vixen!
A hand was placed on Li Daoxuan's shoulder. The beautiful woman came up to him without him noticing, and breathed into his ear with her red lips.
"Hey, little Taoist priest, are you using the mirror to peek at me?"
Li Daoxuan felt very embarrassed and quickly distanced himself and sat up straight.
"Haha, what ? My useless husband...is not here yet."
As she spoke, the woman smiled sweetly, making one's bones soften.
Li Daoxuan's face turned slightly red. He coughed and said, "I was rude just now. I'm really sorry. I hope... Madam, please don't blame me!"
The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment . She didn't expect that the young Taoist priest would actually apologize to her. You know, although she had never hurt anyone and even did many good deeds, those Taoist priests would shout and kill her when they saw her.
The most common saying is that those who are not of my race must have different hearts.
She didn't expect that the young Taoist priest didn't have that kind of prejudice. With her cultivation and experience, she could naturally see that the young Taoist priest's eyes were clear and he had no disgust in his heart.
Just as she was about to say something, Fairy Que stood in front of her and said, "Auntie Hong, please stop teasing him!"
The beautiful woman teased, "Xiao Que'er is jealous now?"
The bird fairy asked in confusion: "Jealous? Why should I be jealous? I only like to eat bugs and fruits!"
Li Daoxuan and the beautiful woman looked at each other and smiled at each other.
The atmosphere between the three became more harmonious.
At this time, a cold snort sounded.
It was the old man sitting opposite Li Daoxuan. Although he was called an old man, he had a very strong physique, and his clothes seemed to be bursting by his muscles, making him look like a bodybuilder .
He glanced at Li Daoxuan with disdain.
Li Daoxuan was a little depressed. How had he offended him?
The beautiful woman came up and whispered, "The one in front of you is not a human either, but the God of Meiling Mountain."
Li Daoxuan was stunned. It turned out to be the mountain god?
Moreover, as one of the famous mountains in Hongzhou, Meiling is not an ordinary hill but a Taoist blessed land. The fact that the Meiling Mountain God can sit in the first position on the left shows his profound Taoist practice.
"He has always been arrogant. He must be unhappy to see that you are only at the initial stage of fasting, but you can sit opposite him."
The Meiling Mountain God had a bad temper. He stared at Li Daoxuan and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed and he looked outside the temple.
Not only him, but everyone in the field was shocked, and they all stood up and bowed.
A stream of light flew by and landed on the main seat in the center. Suddenly, clear air filled the air all around, as if there were thousands of rays of light.
Lotus lanterns light up, with dancing golden wicks, and the candlelight is picturesque and magnificent.
"Greetings to the Green Lady!"
At this moment, whether it was the arrogant mountain god or the charming fox demon, they all bowed and saluted with great respect.
Li Daoxuan also stood up and saluted. This time, he learned his lesson. Although he was very curious, he did not dare to look up.
"No need to be polite, everyone, please take a seat."
It was the first time that Li Daoxuan heard the voice of Lady in Green. The voice seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, as clear and cold as snow.
After hearing this, everyone dared to sit down.
"Today I am hosting a banquet, and I have put away my protective divine light. You all don't have to be restrained."
Li Daoxuan dared to look up then, and saw a cold and holy woman sitting on the main throne. She was dressed in green, wearing a lotus crown on her head, and her long hair was like a waterfall, flowing with the glow of the sunset. Even the finest cloud brocade could not compare to her.
The only pity is that although she took the initiative to put away the dazzling protective divine light, her appearance was still shrouded in a faint light, and one could only vaguely see her stunningly beautiful face.
Even so, many people couldn't help but stare in amazement.
At this moment, Lady Green was like a goddess from heaven who had descended to earth, spotless and spotless, with a heart as pure as ice and glass, holy and flawless.
Li Daoxuan's eyes focused, but he didn't look at the empress, but at the old woman standing next to the empress.
She came with the empress, staying by her side, holding a cane, with a kind face. Isn't this the mother-in-law who boiled the river with a bowl of water?
"Fairy Que, who is that mother-in-law?"
Fairy Que blinked and whispered, "That's grandma. She was the first one to follow the queen. She's very kind to me and the queen!"
Li Daoxuan seemed to be thinking about something. He originally thought that the mother-in-law was the incarnation of the Green-robed Lady, but now it seems that she is just the Lady's confidant?
But how could a confidant have such great magical power?
At this time, the old woman noticed Li Daoxuan's gaze, smiled at him and nodded.
Only then was Li Daoxuan certain that it was undoubtedly her.
Maybe I can sit in the first seat because of this old lady?
"Que'er, pour the wine."
Lady in green said calmly.
"Yes, my lady!"
A jade wine jug suddenly appeared in the hand of the Sparrow Fairy. The jug flashed with light, flew into the air automatically, and then tilted slightly, pouring out streams of crystal-like wine.
The drinks automatically flew into the wine bottles on the table, filling them up exactly, not a cent more or less.
Suddenly the banquet was filled with the rich aroma of wine, which made people feel intoxicated.
Fairy Que said proudly: "Everyone, this is the nectar that my queen made herself according to the recipe left by the ancient immortals, using the beautiful jade from Kunshan and the moonlight. In the past, only immortals could drink it!"
Hearing this, Li Daoxuan was shocked.
Is this the nectar?
Legend has it that the nectar was brewed by gods, and that mortals who drank it could become immortals. Even ordinary gods could not drink it often, and could only have a few cups when they encountered a grand gathering of gods.
In Journey to the West, before Monkey King accidentally broke into Laojun Temple and swallowed the elixir, he drank a lot of nectar. Even his indestructible body could be drunk, which shows how powerful this wine is!
Many people were salivating and couldn't help but pick up their glasses.
At this time, Fairy Que warned: "Everyone, although this nectar has the effect of improving cultivation, it is very easy to get drunk. If you drink too much, you may even die from drunkenness. Everyone should drink according to their ability."
A Taoist laughed and said, "I am nicknamed the Wine Maniac. I have been drinking fine wine for decades and I can drink thousands of cups without getting drunk. What can this small cup do to me?"
After saying this, he could no longer hold back the urge to drink, so he picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
"happy!"
“Good wine!”
He drank the nectar, his eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily. Then, as he laughed, his face suddenly turned red, his eyes closed, and he fell to the ground with a thud, snoring.
Many people shook their heads and laughed, but were also secretly shocked. This Qiongberry was indeed very powerful. How could a monk in the late stage of Qigong get drunk like this?
If someone stabbed him at this moment, he probably wouldn't have any reaction.
Li Daoxuan looked at the clear and mellow wine and swallowed his saliva. Even a cultivator in the late stage of Qigong couldn't resist it , so should he drink this glass of wine?
