Chapter 1151
This is not the first time for Shen Hao to drink in the Zongmen, the last time was in Guishan Seminary, and before that was Chang Baifeng.
Zongmen's banquet is different from outside. There are not many tricks, and it is not a table, but a small table for each person, put it on a blanket, and give you a futon, a few dishes of refreshing side dishes on the table, and a jug of good wine, that's all.
Zongmen's food is not for you to eat, but for you to drink.
Shen Hao was wearing the golden sword robe of Fenghong Villa, which was very eye-catching, and he naturally became the focus of attention as soon as he arrived. The surrounding crowd subconsciously distanced themselves from him and his party. Many people began to discuss in low voices, and most of them were guessing what the people from Fenghong Villa came here for.
"Master Shen, please stay safe!"
Walking along with a disciple of Wanjuan Shushan, when he approached the position of the guest of honor, a person approached and greeted Shen Hao with a laugh. It was Xiang Liu, the seventh elder of the Mingshan Sect.
"Hahaha, Elder Xiang, Shen is being polite! Thank you for remembering Elder Xiang. Everything is fine recently." Shen Hao bowed in return, and even in terms of etiquette, he still followed the manner of a junior in the cultivation world meeting his elders, but his words were different. Treat each other as equals.
There are a lot of details here, and the details must be carefully tasted. A discerning person can figure out a lot of things just from this ceremony. But this is not because Shen Hao is acting on purpose, but because he is used to everything being measured.
Of course, there is no shortage of discerning people in the sect. From the moment Shen Hao entered the square, countless eyes looked at him up and down, and his every move might not be considered by others.
"That's good. Mr. Shen is here to see the aura of Xiujie." In fact, Xiang Liu has just arrived. He has communicated with Zhong Hongye from Wanjuan Shushan before, and he knows that he should come forward to meet with him at this banquet. Shen Hao had a lot of chats, whether it was to release messages to the outside or continue to express goodwill to Shen Hao, it was necessary, and at the same time, he could take the opportunity to introduce Shen Hao to the next business.
"It's really extraordinary! It opened Shen's horizons, and he was almost drowning in the sea of books in the library before. If it wasn't for the wine tonight, he was really hungry for too long, and he really didn't want to come out."
"Hahaha, Mr. Shen is really a wonderful person! In fact, the Mingshan sect also has countless books. If you have time, you can visit the Mingshan sect. You will not disappoint Mr. Shen."
Xiang Liu thought that Shen Hao was really boasting about Wanjuan Shushan's collection of books, and he was talking on the spot, but he didn't know that Shen Hao was telling the truth. If it weren't for this drink, he wouldn't have come out of the library.
Xiang Liu led the way, this treatment once again made the eyes focused on Shen Hao a lot more mysterious. You must know that behind Xiang Liu is the Mingshan sect, and Xiang Liu has always been known for his airs, and he doesn't bother to take a look at it, but now he is acting like this, which has to make people think too much.
Thinking about it better, Mingshan Sect also had to put on a friendly look in front of Fenghong Villa for the benefit of the sect. It should be to win goodwill and improve the tense situation of Fenghong Villa against the bottom sect.
At worst, there is a feeling of flattery. Of course, there are very few people who think this way. After all, in the eyes of Zongmen monks, the Super Zongmen is the top row. There is a relationship to fight, so subconsciously, he will not use "flattery" on the super sect, and feels that Fenghong Villa is not worthy.
But "very few" is already a big undercurrent. It is even said that those who can break common sense and think in the direction of "flattery" are all people who admire the existence of super sects one-sidedly. For example, they were also sitting in the front row, and they were also looking at Shen Hao and Xiang Liu's first-class sect visitors.
After taking his seat, Shen Hao felt two different gazes. Turning to look over, it turned out to be an acquaintance.
Lin Dashan, the master of Wushan from the Guishan Seminary, and Yu Aofeng, the great elder of the Tianchan Sect.
Shen Hao quickly got up from the futon again and walked over. Mainly towards Lin Dashan. He is now a registered disciple of Laoshu Peak of Guishan Seminary, and when he sees Lin Dashan, he is an elder in the sect, so he should go over and say hello.
"Disciple Shen Hao, I have met the elder." Shen Hao saluted Lin Dashan according to the disciple's etiquette.
This surprised Lin Dashan. He knew that the relationship between Shen Hao and Guishan Seminary was only in name, and it was also Guishan Seminary taking advantage of Shen Hao. Now that Shen Hao has become the head deacon of foreign affairs in Fenghong Villa, this "potential" is even more comfortable. But he was also worried that a rising tide would make Shen Hao no longer maintain his good relationship with Guishan Seminary as before. Now it seems that I think too much.
On such an occasion, Shen Hao expressed his attitude clearly when he directly saluted his disciples.
It's no wonder that Shen Hao has a strong reputation outside the world, but he also has the evaluation of "keeping promises". Now it seems that he is not a duplicitous person, but Nie Yun has made a real friend. Lin Dashan thought so in his heart.
"There's no need to be too polite!" Lin Dashan didn't really let Shen Hao finish the disciple's ceremony, he got up and carried him halfway, and then said: "You represent Fenghong Villa today, don't mess up the etiquette, with this It's good to be distracted. But I haven't seen you go back to the mountain gate recently, is it because you can't get away from ordinary affairs?"
"Returning to the elder, the disciple has a lot of errands recently, so it is rare to have free time. When the disciple finishes his work for a while, he will definitely return to the mountain gate to visit."
"Well, that's good. It's the 21st suzerain's birthday next month, so you can come back when you have time."
"Okay, the disciple has written it down."
"Okay, let's go, this banquet is probably not easy for you." Lin Dashan came on behalf of Guishan Seminary, and he understood a lot of things. But he didn't say it clearly, and it would not be too late to express his position after the matter fell to the ground. What's more, Shen Hao is currently regarded as "one of his own", so there is no need to panic at Guishan Seminary, just go to the theater.
Shen Hao also knew that this occasion is not suitable for chatting, so he bowed again and returned to his seat to sit down. Pick up the wine on the table, and taste it without saying anything.
Here Shen Hao returned to his seat and sat down, but Lin Dashan was not calm.
Because they are all sects in Jingxi, and they are the only first-class sect in Jingxi, the arrangement of Wanjuan Shushan on the seats is very straightforward, putting Tianchanzong and Guishan Seminary together. Yu Aofeng, the great elder of the Tianchan Sect, was sitting next to Lin Dashan.
But anyone who has a little understanding of the sect structure of the Jingxi Land Realm will know that the relationship between Guishan Seminary and Tianchan Sect is uneasy. It may be said that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, but it is definitely a contest between open and secret.
When Shen Hao walked away, Yu Aofeng glanced at his back with a sneer, and then said to Lin Dashan at the table next to him: "I didn't expect that Master Shen would really become a member of your Guishan Seminary? Tsk tsk, inside and out You guys can figure it out clearly, even the personal friendship of the top disciples under the sect has been taken advantage of. Admiration, admiration!"
