Chapter 27 To accept or not to accept
Seeing that Lin Xiao took out a small aqua sword, all eyes were naturally attracted to him.
In fact, this is normal. Although the cultivation levels of the few here, except Deacon Gu, are not high and most of them are around the third or fourth level of Qi refining, as the head of a powerful family, their eyesight is not bad at all.
Wang Yichun was the first to speak: "Lin Xian's skills are extraordinary. This small sword may not be able to touch the edge of a high-grade magic weapon."
Several other people also nodded in agreement after hearing the words. You must know that the magic weapons of the Immortal Sect are of five levels, namely Taoist weapons, mysterious weapons, real weapons, treasure weapons, and magic weapons. The magic weapons that ordinary Qi Refining monks can touch are also in the magic weapons.
It spins in the middle and bottom, making it extremely difficult to see the fine quality.
Although this sword can only be used once, it is also a rare item due to its outstanding quality.
Of course, if it were not a disposable consumable, the middle-aged monk would not have the strength to pocket it, let alone fall into Lin Xiao's hands.
Xiao was like this. When Gu Muen saw this thing, his expression changed slightly and his heart was moved.
"Junior brother Lin, this, this gift is too heavy. Senior brother, I really deserve it..."
Lin Xiao smiled slightly and gently placed it on the table in front of him.
"Senior Brother, what you said is wrong. Although I have accepted the job of Nanshan Soul-Seeking Envoy, I am still young and inexperienced. If I cause trouble in the future because of my loose temper, Senior Brother will still take advantage of today's meager gift.
Hands, stop scolding my junior brother!"
"Oh? Hahaha..."
"What Lin Xianshi said is wonderful, it is such a step, hahaha..."
"..."
Several people at the table clapped their hands and laughed when they heard this. Even Gu Muen laughed so hard that his beard trembled slightly.
Han Rong, who had not spoken for a long time, looked at Gu Muen and said with a smile: "Old immortal, you might as well accept it. Firstly, the two of you are the disciples of the same school, and they are not born. Now, if you don't accept the second one, we will
The four of them really have no shame in taking this thing away..."
As he spoke, he pointed at the porcelain vase in front of him.
This move caused everyone in the room to laugh.
After hearing Gu Muen laugh, he cupped his fists and saluted Lin Xiao, jokingly saying: "In this case, I have the audacity to take advantage of my junior brother once. If anything happens in the future, I will blame myself!"
After saying that, he put his palm on the table and put away the small aqua sword.
Lin Xiao hurriedly returned the salute. "Senior Brother is too polite. I hope that Senior Brother will give me some advice when I take office in the future."
"It's easy to talk about." Gu Muen nodded repeatedly.
Seeing Deacon Gu put away the small sword, the other four people were no longer polite. After saying some compliments, they all accepted the elixir bottle.
From the moment the small sword appeared until it was put away, Lin Xiao observed carefully and found no flaws in anyone, but he was not in a hurry. After all, he was just an idler, and he did not expect immediate results.
After this session, the atmosphere at the wine table became much more lively. In addition, Lin Xiao was a very revealing person, so he naturally catered to everyone and responded appropriately, which attracted the admiration of everyone present.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Huang Zhangyou and Lin Xiao drank one glass at a time, smacked their lips, and spoke sincerely.
"As the saying goes, you don't tell lies in front of real people! I, Lao Huang, am a rough man, and I am the weakest person on this table today. To be honest, before today's reception banquet, I was so worried that I wished I could tear all the hair off my head.
, until today, when I saw the face of the Immortal Envoy, my heart dropped to my stomach. It is considered that my life should not be cut off."
When Lin Xiao heard this, he knew there would be a sequel, so he pretended to be startled, looked around the table, and finally looked at Huang Zhangyou and said: "Why did the Huang family master say this? Can I still save your life?"
p>
Han Rong next to him slowly put down his chopsticks, glanced at Huang Zhangyou, and spoke slowly.
"What Boss Huang is afraid of is probably the 'Yuanhuang Ceremony', right?..."
As soon as these words came out, several people on the table stopped moving and looked at Huang Zhangyou. Among them, Gu Muen frowned slightly, and Zhu Yunsong, who was playing with the wine glass, had a rather playful look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao asked: "What does the life of the Huang family leader have to do with this 'Yuanhuang Ceremony'?"
"The Immortal Envoy didn't know something," Zhu Yunsong took over. "There are two things that have always been prepared for the 'Yuanhuang Grand Ceremony'. One is the sacrificial wine, and the other is the top of the tree with divine eyes. The wine is taken to offer sacrifices to the ground, and the cang tree is used to offer sacrifices to the ground."
God's will. The providers of these two things rotate among the five counties every year, and this year, it is naturally my turn to be responsible for it, Nanshan County."
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this and looked down at the wine in the glass, as if he had some realization.
"This sacrificial wine must be the 'Yuquan Brew' of the Zhu family." Lin Xiao turned his eyes and asked, "Did this 'divine eye tree top' fall on the Huang family?"
"That's right. Boss Huang's medicinal materials are sold all over the state, including Nanshan County. If he doesn't pick it up, who will pick it up?" Wang Yichun, who was leaning on the back of his chair, nodded and smiled. His words were frivolous. I don't know if he was secretly sarcastic or just like this on weekdays.
Then Huang Zhangyou took advantage of the wine and his face became angry. "You said it lightly, I don't want to accept it, but I can't speak well!"
Gu Muen frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Boss Huang, be careful, your Huang family has taken over this job. Is it possible that there are still no benefits in these years!?"
When Huang Zhangyou heard this, his neck shrank, and cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, and he quickly bowed. "Old god, please forgive me. I, I drank a few cups of yellow soup. This, I don't have a good mouth, please forgive me."
,Forgive me!"
The other three people looked at their eyes, nose and heart, as if they had not seen the scene at all.
Seeing that the scene turned cold, Gu Muen waved his hand, sighed, and asked: "Junior brother, do you know what this 'divine eye tree top' is and what it is used for?"
"Of course we know that this thing is the main material used to make the sword boat. It requires three feet of green and yellow tree tops of the pine tree that are more than a hundred years old, peeled and cored. The quality of the sword boat depends on the refining technique.
What matters is the age of the tree."
Lin Xiao nodded and asked another question.
"Is there something wrong with this green and yellow tree top for the Huang family?"
"Junior brother is really knowledgeable and has a strong memory, and he can break the knot with just one word." Gu Mu'en smiled, stroking his beard, and pointed his eyes at Huang Zhangyou, "As for what the head of the Huang family said, you should ask him."
Lin Xiao also looked at Huang Zhangyou and listened to what he said.
"To be fair to the immortal envoy, our Huang family makes a living by collecting and selling medicines. Although these sacred pines that are over a hundred years old are precious, there are always ways to find them due to the size of Mianshan Mountain. However, this 'Yuanhuang Ceremony' is a rotation of five counties.
According to the rules, in order to save effort next time, which one doesn't cut off one piece at a time and prepare a stock of four or five trees? In addition, there are people who cut down this material for sale on weekdays. Over time, there are fewer and fewer qualified trees.
, who cares whether others live or die?"
"Can it still be chopped down?" Lin Xiao probably had a taste of it when he heard this.
"It won't be a problem if they are cut down, but there is really no tree near Mianshan. If we go deeper into the mountains, not to mention that there are only ten days left before the ceremony, even if time permits, I really don't have that many lives to go deep into the mountains.
I can fill my mouth with all the raptors and wild beasts I have captured! Not to mention anything else, this year alone, I have lost more than a dozen good yam explorers..."
When Huang Zhangyou said this, he actually left the table and stood up. He looked at Lin Xiao and bowed before bowing.
"I, Huang Zhangyou, am now sixty-eight years old. I have been working for your family for more than forty years. Unless I am forced to a dead end, I would not dare to offend you. I only ask the immortal envoy to save my life and the Huang family's life.
Please forgive me, damn it, damn it!"
