032. Fan Family Banquet
The banquet at Dexing Inn was very lively. Even Gu Qi, who lived on the third floor, heard the noise downstairs. Gu Qi couldn't help but close the doors and windows, sat on the edge of the bed, and recalled the blood bead in the little white fox's body.
"What exactly is that?" Gu Qi lay on the bed, looked at the roof, and murmured to himself.
Things that can devour spiritual power in the world are generally evil things, just like the Juyin Demon Sword in your body, sucking other people's blood, essence and blood, and exuding a strong yin evil energy, which is extremely evil.
However, the blood beads in Xiaobai's body did not have the evil spirit at all, nor did they absorb the blood energy of others. In addition to looking more like evil things, they also devoured the spiritual energy and spiritual consciousness that entered Xiaobai's body, and did not look like other evil things they imagined.
Gu Qi pondered for a moment and planned to ask Juyin Sword Spirit. After all, it had lived for tens of thousands of years, so maybe it would know something? Thinking of this, Gu Qi distributed a trace of spiritual consciousness and escaped into his own qi sea.
As soon as he entered the Qi Sea, Gu Qi saw the Juyin Sword hanging in the Qi Sea, and flowing spiritual energy floated around him. As long as he approached the Demon Sword, he was immediately swallowed by the Juyin Sword. Gu Qi frowned and said, "If this continues, my Qi Sea will never be filled with spiritual energy."
The Juyin Sword in the Qihai seemed to sense Gu Qi's arrival, and slowly emitted a red light, illuminating Gu Qi's spiritual consciousness, illuminating Gu Qi's spiritual consciousness red.
Gu Qi glanced at Juyin Jian, floated to the side of Juyin Demon Sword, and shouted softly at Juyin Demon Sword: "Little fat man, are you here? I have a question to ask you!"
Juyin Jian did not respond, and the sword spirit seemed to fall into deep sleep. Gu Qi did not give up, pondered for a moment, intending to ask again.
Before Gu Qi could speak, Juyin Sword suddenly shot a red light, shining on Gu Qi's spiritual consciousness. Gu Qi's spiritual consciousness suddenly felt a powerful thrust. Gu Qi said "ah" and was directly pushed out by the red light.
As soon as the spiritual consciousness left the sea of Qi, it suddenly returned to Gu Qi's sea of consciousness. Gu Qi suddenly came back to his senses, smiled bitterly, and said, "This little fat man can really sleep! After sleeping for a few days, he hasn't had enough sleep."
He shook his head, sighed, and said, "It seems that he can only go back and ask the old man!"
At some point, a bright moon had already hung in the sky. The bright moonlight shone on the window ridge of the Tianzi Room, sneaking into Gu Qi's room and spreading the light on the floor.
The noise downstairs gradually became less and less. After a while, the downstairs had become very quiet. I think the banquet for Xingde Heroes commendation ceremony has ended.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. After a while, the door next door was pushed open. Gu Qi heard the voices of Zhao Xingye and others. After a few laughs, he heard a sound of going downstairs.
At the same time, Xuan Hai hugged Xiaobai and pushed the door open, looked at Gu Qi with a smile, and said, "Brother Gu Qi, let's go, Sister Fan asked us to go to her house for midnight snack!"
Gu Qi nodded, put on his coat, and followed Xuanhai downstairs.
The living room of Dexing Inn was already empty, with only a few friends tidying up the leftovers on the table and cleaning the inn.
Fan Xiru leaned against the tent and said something to Zhao Xingye with a smile. Suddenly, he heard the sound of going downstairs, and turned to look at the stairs. He was not Xuanhai and Gu Qi, who were they? She smiled and said to Gu Qi: "Young Master Gu, are you here?"
Gu Qi said "um", walked to the account desk, looked at Fan Xiru and others, and said, "Miss Fan, can we leave?"
Fan Xiru clapped his hands and said, "Since everyone is here, let's go!" As she said that, she held Zhao Xingye's hand, her green clothes fluttered, turned around and walked out, and Xuanhai and Xiaohong and Xiaoqing followed.
Gu Qi was stunned for a moment and followed quickly.
Along the way, Fan Xiru and several women walked together and talked and laughed, talking about some things between girls. Xuanhai followed them and made a few silly smiles from time to time. Gu Qi couldn't get in and could only follow them in a cowardly manner.
Lanterns were hung on both sides of the street. Yellow candlelight fell on the ground like stars through the lantern yarn paper. The light spots were mottled. A gust of wind blew, and the lanterns swayed in the wind.
Gu Qi followed Fan Xiru and his group for a long time. Suddenly, Fan Xiru stopped, pointed ahead, looked at everyone and said, "My home is here!"
Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction she pointed. Not far away, in the distance with brightly lit, a magnificent mansion was located in a row of buildings. On the vermilion gate, there was a huge plaque, Fan Mansion!
Fan Xiru pointed to the Fan Mansion with a smile and said, "It's my home! Let's go quickly, I'll ask Butler Li to prepare a lot of delicious food for us!"
Everyone opened their mouths wide with a "wow" sound. Zhao Xingye even held Fan Xiru's hand and said, "Sister Fan, your family looks so grand!"
Fan Xiru smiled and looked at Zhao Xingye and said, "Sister Hoshino is joking. Compared with you Wanling Mountain, my family is nothing. Let's go in quickly!"
At this time, many servants in the Fan Mansion were busy, placing all kinds of delicious dishes on the table, waiting for the arrival of their ladies and guests.
Before Fan Xiru and his friends could reach the gate of the Fan Mansion, a middle-aged man in gorgeous brocade clothes and a scholar's hat came over, bowed to Fan Xiru, and said respectfully: "Miss, are you back?"
Fan Xiru looked into the gate and said, "Uncle Li, how are you preparing inside?"
Butler Li smiled slightly and said, "According to your instructions, I have arranged many servants to prepare this family dinner. All eighteen dishes have been prepared and can be held at any time!"
Fan Xiru nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's thank you for your hard work!" As she said that, she turned her head and looked at everyone, and smiled and said, "Let's go!"
Everyone followed Fan Xiru into Fan Mansion, passed the entrance hall, circled around the courtyard for a few more times, and finally arrived at the living room of Fan Mansion.
I saw a huge sandalwood round table full of dishes. The plate of cut fish in the middle was even more eye-catching. Under the golden light, a faint light was reflected. Everyone let out a "wow" sound, and saliva was almost flowing out.
Xuan Hai was shocked when he looked at the living room carved dragons and painted phoenixes, sandalwood beams and beautiful lighting in his heart. He secretly glanced at Gu Qi and whispered: "Brother Gu Qi, Sister Fan's family is really rich!"
Gu Qi gave him a blank look and said nothing.
Butler Li waved to a servant, smiled at everyone, and said, "Miss, guests, please enjoy these dishes slowly. If you want to eat something else, you can tell me that I will prepare it immediately!"
Fan Xiru shook and said, "Uncle Li, let's do it first. You can go and do other things first. Just have me here!"
Butler Li said "hmm" and left two servants, then took the other servants and servants out of the living room to do other things.
Fan Xiru greeted everyone with a smile and sat down. She glanced at everyone and said, "Don't be reserved, just treat this place as your home. Come and eat quickly!"
Everyone laughed and nodded.
Zhao Xingye was the first to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece on the plate of fish, and said to Fan Xiru: "Sister Fan, what kind of fish is this? It looks so strange?" As soon as she entered the living room, she had already noticed this plate of dishes.
Fan Xiru smiled and said, "This dish is the most famous Huanling fish in Xingde. We selected the most famous Huanling fish in Xingde Town, took its scales, and then cut the fish into thin slices. It was fragrant and tender, melted in the mouth, and it was very delicious."
Zhao Xingye swallowed his saliva and immediately swallowed the fish in his hand and chewed it. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she chewed it a few times, and she looked happy and said in surprise: "Ah, this fish is so delicious, it's sweet, without a trace of fishy smell, it's very delicious. It's indeed Xingde's most famous dish!"
Everyone stared at Zhao Xingye's intoxicated look in a daze. Xuan Hai pouted and muttered, "Hey, it's meaty again, no matter how delicious it is, I can't eat it anyway!"
Xuanhai's words immediately made everyone happy. Fan Xiru put down his chopsticks, pointed to several of the vegetarian dishes, and said with a smile: "It's okay, aren't there still a few vegetarian dishes here? I know you are a monk and can't eat meat, so I specially asked Uncle Li to prepare a few of the most famous vegetarian dishes in Xingde, you can try it!"
Xuan Hai grinned, and happily ate the vegetarian dishes with a smile. Sure enough, Sister Fan did not lie to herself. The taste of these vegetarian dishes is really good!
