Chapter 1227: Ku Lao Asks for an Audience

The banquet prepared by Yue Fengyun was held in the Golden Palace at the highest point of the Golden Palace Heaven.

The Golden Palace Heaven has always been the territory of the Great Heavenly King and Grand Marshal of the Eastern Eight Heavens. The Golden Palace at the highest point has always been the place where the leaders of the Eastern Eight Heavens solemnly receive foreign guests.

The leaders mentioned here are not ordinary people. For example, the general is not qualified to enter the Golden Palace at all. Even if the little king wants to use this place, he must obtain the consent of the big king. As for the VIPs, their status is needless to say, at least they are high-level tour envoys.

For example, when Huan Yin was in power, he wanted to come to the Eastern Eight Heavens, and Yue Fengyun, who was the Great Heavenly King of the Eastern Eight Heavens at that time, would definitely receive Huan Yin in the Golden Palace.

Today, Yue Fengyun chose to hold a banquet in the Golden Palace to welcome Huan Yin, just like the scene of the year was recreated. Huan Yin knew Yue Fengyun's intention.

Yue Fengyun fully demonstrated his position of respecting Huan Yin as the supreme ruler, and even more so, he acknowledged Huan Yin as the emperor without any concealment. Yue Fengyun intentionally recreated the scene of the past.

Now that Huan Yin has acknowledged Yue Fengyun as the Lord of the Eight Heavens of the East, it is not surprising that Yue Fengyun has such thoughts, and even held a banquet for Huan Yin as the host after returning. So Huan Yin gladly accepted Yue Fengyun's kindness and attended the banquet as scheduled that day.

Returning to the magnificent Golden Palace with Zhang Tao and Bai Kui, Zhang Tao and Bai Kui were here for the first time, and naturally marveled at it. As for Huan Yin, he thought more of the scenes he had been here when he was in power, so he was a little emotional.

Not long after, Huan Yin was welcomed into the Golden Palace with Zhang Tao and Bai Kui by the servants, and immediately saw the row of people who had been standing in front of the hall in an orderly manner. There were not many people, only about twenty, all of whom were well-known figures, and all of whom were familiar to Huan Yin. The leader was Yue Fengyun.

Seeing Huan Yin step in, everyone's face suddenly became solemn. Yue Fengyun led everyone to half-kneel down in front of Huan Yin, and said in unison: "Dongfang Batian welcomes the adults!"

This scene is more similar to that of the past. However, there were at least hundreds of people standing in this golden palace back then, but now there are not so many people, even the little king is not here.

Huan Yin knew that the reason why there were so few people was not because Yue Fengyun did not respect him enough. In fact, on the contrary, Yue Fengyun fully considered Huan Yin's position and only arranged these people.

These people are all acquaintances of Huan Yin. Most of them already know Huan Yin's true identity, so Yue Fengyun asked them to accompany him. First, Huan Yin's true identity would not be spread during the banquet. Second, Yue Fengyun knew that Huan Yin did not like to be publicized, so now he was sensitive to his identity. It was enough for him to have these people accompany him. Moreover, they were all old people, which made it warmer. It was convenient for everyone to talk during the banquet, and the atmosphere would be more harmonious.

Huan Yin walked to Yue Fengyun, helped him up, and then called all the people behind him, saying: "Everyone, please stand up. We are all acquaintances. Why be so polite?"

Everyone stood up, and Yue Fengyun said: "Sir, today's arrangement is a bit shabby. I hope you don't mind."

Yue Fengyun was obviously afraid that Huan Yin would think that the show was too small, and felt that he was not respectful enough to Huan Yin and did not recognize Huan Yin's status as an emperor. Huan Yin knew Yue Fengyun's good intentions, so he didn't mind, so he said: "Sir, you are too polite. Why don't you take a seat and talk?"

So Yue Fengyun invited everyone to take a seat, and the first thing he arranged was to personally and respectfully invite Huan Yin to the first seat.

After sitting down, the best wine and food were served one by one. First, Yue Fengyun, the host, repeatedly saluted Huan Yin, and then Huan Yin said a few words, and the banquet finally officially began.

Although the banquet was held in the most formal occasion of the Golden Palace, and Yue Fengyun also arranged it quite solemnly, because of the people present, the atmosphere quickly became more relaxed and harmonious under the harmony of fine wine.

Not only were all the people present familiar to Huan Yin, but most of them were also close to each other. There was no need to say much about Huan Yin's three people, not to mention Yue Fengyun and Yue Xiaoxian father and daughter. Then there were Hu Zi, Jiang, Dai Tianyao and others, who were all real friends, and they had just become friends on a battlefield. As for some other people, they had at least had a deep friendship with Huan Yin.

For example, Wang Xuantong, the little king of the soft heaven, had worked with Huan Yin to deal with King Boli and Lie Prajna. If he hadn't appeared, Huan Yin wouldn't have been so easy to kill King Boli, and there would be no chance to accidentally kill the blue robe king. Although there were more transactions between them, today, the transactions have also become friendship.

The relaxed and harmonious atmosphere made the conversations at the table gradually increase. Everyone mentioned some old stories, and they couldn't help but feel emotional, just like the most wonderful appetizer in the world.

So gradually, the wine began to become a little more. In just a short while, three rounds of wine had been served. And in an occasion like today, no one deliberately used cultivation to resist the power of alcohol, so everyone began to feel a little tipsy.

This feeling is good, because it makes everyone closer and closer, and they are no longer like the king and his subjects, no longer like generals and soldiers, but a family. The Golden Palace, the most formal place in the entire Eastern Eight Days, is now going on, as if it is a family dinner.

This is Huan Yin's home, and it is also everyone's home.

At a certain moment, when the atmosphere at the table was extremely strong and some people were staggering, a steward suddenly walked in from outside.

After the steward came in, he obviously didn't expect the atmosphere at the banquet to be so harmonious, and was slightly stunned. But soon, he walked to the side of Yue Fengyun and whispered a few words.

Yue Fengyun waved to the steward, and he went out. So the banquet was going to continue. But at this moment, Hu Zi, who noticed the detail just now, said: "Master Yue, what's the matter?"

Yue Fengyun smiled and said: "Nothing, an old man heard that you are coming, so he wanted to see you, I think it's not the right time, so I turned it down."

"Old man? What old man?" Hu Zi seemed a little drunk, and he kept chasing this topic.

Yue Fengyun glanced at Huan Yin, and seeing that Huan Yin's attention was also drawn to him, he simply said: "An old man in the Golden Palace, we all call him 'Ku Lao'."

"Oh? Is Ku Lao here?" Wang Xuantong raised his eyebrows, and seemed to know who this Ku Lao was.

"Is it the highly respected Ku Lao?" Bai Kui actually interrupted, as if even she knew this person.

Yue Fengyun knew that he had to explain to Huan Yin, so he said: "Sir, this Ku Lao is an old man with a very long life in my Dongfang Batian. According to legend, he existed when Dongfang Batian was built. And today, it has been countless tens of thousands of years, and he still exists."

"His cultivation is not high, and he has only just reached the stage of Nirvana. Logically speaking, with his cultivation, his life span would never be so long. However, he did not specialize in Taoism throughout his life, but instead liked to cultivate himself and study the various principles of the world. Therefore, although his cultivation is not high, he is detached from the world and has a sense of transcendence. Some people say that Ku Lao has seen through the world. He has achieved a natural unity with the world and all things in it. Although he has not achieved the Great Dao, he has found another way to become an immortal. Only in this way can he have such an incredible lifespan. "

"In general, the impression given by Ku Lao is that he is extraordinary, knowledgeable, and highly respected. Because he is knowledgeable and helpful, plus his qualifications and reputation, he has long been a member of the Golden Palace and a representative of the people. If the people have a wish, he will ask for it on their behalf. Usually, he also prays to the heaven and earth on behalf of the people for good weather and good harvests. "

Nodding, Huan Yin said: "This Ku Lao specifically wants to see me. Does it mean that he already knows my true identity?"
