In order to prepare for entertaining guests from all over the world to celebrate their birthday, the outer palace of Scorpio Palace set up a hundred tables to entertain ordinary guests, while the inner palace was divided into three classes, with a total of sixteen tables. Among them, there was only one table for first-class guests, in the innermost room.

There are three tables for second-class guests in the middle of the hall. Finally, the third-class guests have the largest number of guests, with a total of twelve tables near the outer palace.

Xie Ling was included in the third-class VIP list. He randomly chose a seat among the twelve tables and sat down. He was surrounded by unfamiliar faces, and there were ten people at each table.

At this time, the disciples of the Juedu Sect began to serve the dishes. There were not many varieties of dishes, but the portions were large. Most of them were cooked with spiritual objects. The aroma was fragrant and contained abundant spiritual energy. However, Xie Ling did not take action.

His eyes were attracted by a dish in front of him. In the middle of the table, there was a silver dish about an inch deep.

In the basin, there were strips of light yellow flesh worms as thin as fingers. They were still alive, squirming with their fat bodies and trying to climb up. However, the faces of the guests at the table were filled with joy when they saw it, and they actually picked them up and climbed up.

I stuffed the meatworms on the edge of the silver basin into my mouth and chewed them until my mouth was filled with thick green juice.

Although Xie Ling had heard about the custom of eating poisonous insects alive in southern Xinjiang, he was still a little cautious when he saw it. He got up from his seat and walked out. No matter how delicious the other delicacies on the table were, he had lost his appetite.

The other guests didn't care when they saw him leaving. A Juedu Sect disciple came forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, are you not used to the food here?"

"A bit!" Xie Ling nodded with a smile and continued walking out.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, there will be a small exchange meeting here later. If you are interested, fellow Daoist, you may wish to come over and have a look later!"

"Okay, I understand!" Xie Ling was not very interested in the exchange meeting. At this time, his thoughts were all in the Ancestral Soul Hall next door.

After walking out of the Scorpio Palace, there was no one else except a few Jue Po Sect disciples who were on duty outside the palace gate. He slowly paced on the ground paved with green granite, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few Jue Po Sect disciples and the other side.

He was wandering around the ancestral soul hall, thinking about how to avoid their gaze and enter the golden thread.[

At this moment, Lu Xiaojia ran out of the palace, saw Xie Ling in the square, and said with joy on her face: "Brother Xia, are you here too?" She slowed down and walked over in a rare and reserved manner.

Xie Ling looked at her and was about to speak when he saw two more people coming out of the palace. One was Xin Yulang and the other was Ma Mingjue. When they walked out of the palace, they also saw Xie Ling. They both paused before slowly walking out again.

"Why, have you eaten those bugs too?" Xie Ling smiled and asked Lu Xiaojia, who was walking over.

"Stop talking, it's disgusting. I won't eat such disgusting things!" Lu Xiaojia pouted.

"Junior Sister Lu, those 'Ghost-faced Moth' larvae are a good thing. The hundred tables of ordinary guests in the outer palace can't eat what they want. Only the VIPs in the inner palace are eligible to enjoy it. There are twenty larvae for each table, two for each person. Junior Sister, don't want it.

, which gives others an advantage." Xin Yulang said with a smile.

"Senior Brother Xin, if you like it so much, why did you come out? Why don't you enjoy this rare delicacy more!" Lu Xiaojia said.

"How can we compare with junior sister? Although we can enter the second seat of the inner palace with the help of our great-uncle's reputation, we can only stand in the back and watch, unable to cut chopsticks." Ma Mingjue paused after saying this, and said to Xie Ling: "Hey, this

Isn't it Fellow Daoist Xia? It's so funny, how come we can all meet you there!"

"Yes! I feel the same way. Others say that southern Xinjiang is hot and humid and there are many flies. It's true. You can't be quiet wherever you go! Xiaojia, why don't we sit somewhere else?"

Lu Xiaojia blinked and looked at Xie Ling in surprise. Xie Ling was gentle and gentle along the way. He had never made any radical words or actions. This was the first time he was so nakedly provocative and mocking. But then his face

He smiled and said, "Okay!"

Xin Yulang was a gloomy person. After hearing this, his pupils narrowed slightly and he stared at Xie Ling who turned around and walked forward with his peach-blossom eyes. He felt that he was secretive about this guest who was younger than himself.

Ma Mingjue was not the case. He had the prestige of his uncle Ma Tianxing, the elder of the Shimao Sect, in the Southern Border. He had been ridiculed there. His face suddenly changed and he said loudly: "Xia, what did you just say? You called us flies."

Bug!" As he spoke, the person rushed forward.

There are three tables in the middle of the Scorpio Palace to entertain distinguished guests. The guests who can be invited to dine here are either the sect leader of a small sect or the elders of each major sect. The current scale of Stone Spear Sect in southern Xinjiang is the same as that of Yin Snake Sect, second only to the top

The Juedu Sect, one of the seven major sects, is considered a medium-to-large sect in the southern border area. As the first elder of the Stone Spear Sect, Ma Tianxing has a status in the sect no less than that of the sect leader Wan Lingfu. With his qualifications, he can enter the innermost sect.

One table is not impossible.

"What are you talking about? Ming Jue got into an argument with someone outside?" He put down the chopsticks in his hand, with a look of displeasure on his face, secretly thinking that this kid is really careless and will cause trouble wherever he goes.

"Well, it seems to be for Miss Lu."

The expression on Ma Tianxing's face changed slightly, and then he said: "Who is the other party?" [

"A foreigner named Xia. Also, Xin Yulang is also there."

"I know, go ahead and keep an eye on me, and report to me if anything happens." He picked up the chopsticks on the table and said with his expression returning to normal.

"Brother Ma, what's the matter?" Xin Shisan looked at the leaving Stone Spear Sect disciples and asked.

"It's nothing, just a few kids playing outside."

"Really!" Xin Shisan, Lao Ermila, looked expressionless on his face, but secretly ordered the disciples standing behind him to go out and see what happened.

In the square, Ma Mingjue tried his best to attack Xie Ling on the opposite side. During the chase, the two parties unknowingly were only three or four feet away from the golden line that separated the two palaces.

"Be careful, don't jump over the golden thread!" The Stone Spear Sect disciple who was watching outside couldn't help but remind him.

"I know, that's embarrassing!" Ma Mingjue certainly understood the meaning of that golden thread. Therefore, every attack would try to avoid getting close to the golden thread and maintain a certain safe distance.

The disciples of the Juepo Sect who were guarding outside the Scorpion Palace had already gone in to report, but strangely, no one came out to stop them, leaving the two of them fighting in the square.

"Xia, do you only know how to dodge like a mouse?" Ma Mingjue said excitedly.

"Hmph, if I take action, you will regret it!" Xie Ling said scornfully.

"You can take action, but am I still afraid of you?" Ma Mingjue laughed when he saw that Xie Ling had been fooled.

"Okay, you watch"

"good!"

Dazzling golden light flashed, and in the eyes of Lu Xiaojia, Xin Yulang and others, Ma Mingjue flew straight across the golden line and fell to the blue-black mirror-like smooth ground opposite.

A dull bell sounded from the Ancestral Soul Palace. This sound reached straight to Scorpion Needle Mountain and penetrated deep into the palace in the clouds, waking up someone who had been in meditation for nearly ten years.

"It's over and the 'Shock Bell' has rung!"
