Chapter 227 The play begins(1/2)
On the 10th day of the New Year, the Shi family in Qindu was crowded with people. Shi Yu was busy welcoming all the people from all over the world, while his wife changed into an orange brocade dress and followed a close maid to the kitchen.
Seeing that the head of the family had arrived, the chefs who were busy in the kitchen stood up and said hello to Shi Yu's wife.
Shi Yu's wife has been in a good mood recently, and today's day is special, so she said to the servants: "Help me get two taels of noodles, and I also need two eggs and two thin green onions."
The chef didn't know what the headmaster was going to do, so he nodded and went to the side to get it.
After the chef brought the things over, Shi Yu's wife scooped a few scoops of water and put them in the pot, then looked at the chef and said, "Why are you standing there? Make a fire for me?"
The chef saw that the head of the family was trying to cook noodles, so he said diligently: "Let me help the wife cook noodles."
Shi Yu's wife said unhappily: "Today is my son's birthday. Why do I want you to cook the longevity noodles? Of course, my mother cooked it myself."
Seeing that the horse flattered and slapped the horse's legs, the chef hurried over to burn firewood.
For those in the world, the 10th day of the New Year is the day when the backer King Shiyu convenes the martial arts conference. But for Shi Yu's wife, today is just the birthday of her son Shi Qiyu. She was just in the house and was about to tell Shi Yu about this. Unexpectedly, Shi Yu's wife not only couldn't remember her son's birthday, but she didn't even listen to her. Shi Yu's wife saw that her husband was now thinking about the position of the leader of the martial arts world.
After Shi Yu's wife finished cooking the longevity noodles, she took it to Shi Qiyu's house. Seeing that there was still a cloud of mist in front of Shi Qiyu's house, she knew there was a formation barrier here, so she shouted to it: "Qi Yu, are you practicing?"
Shi Qiyu didn't want to go back to her, but when he thought of Shi Yu using three black gold swords to make him try his best to be a filial son and grandson. He put away his indifference and tried to keep himself smiling and leave the door.
When Shi Qiyu opened the formation, a stream of spiritual energy surged out of the formation, making Shi Yu's wife outside the formation feel like spring breeze.
Shi Qiyu asked, "My mother has something to do?"
Shi Yu's wife smiled and said, "You child, have you forgotten that today is your birthday. My mother has cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for you, so you can eat it while it's hot."
"Oh." Shi Qiyu looked at her holding the bowl of noodles with a tray in person, thinking that she had never eaten anything like Changsheng Noodles in the past twelve years. He couldn't help but let her in.
Shi Yu's wife knew that Shi Qiyu was cold in character, so she let her personal maid wait outside the house.
After sitting down, Shi Yu's wife brought the steaming longevity noodles to Shi Qiyu and said, "Eat while it's hot, and after eating it in one breath, our Qiyu will be more blessed and long."
Shi Qiyu looked at the bowl of longevity noodles, picked up the chopsticks and started eating. The monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage could fast, and he hadn't eaten ordinary food for a long time. But for some reason, Shi Qiyu felt that he should eat this bowl of noodles, not only a promise to Shi Yu, but also because he felt that this was his mother's wish.
There was not much noodles in two liang. After eating a few bites, he saw two poached eggs under the noodles. Shi Qiyu took a bite and thought it tasted good, so he ate it one by one.
Shi Yu's wife quietly watched Shi Qiyu eating noodles, thinking that this was the happiest moment for her and Shi Qiyu in the past twelve years.
After Shi Qiyu finished drinking the noodle soup, he looked at Shi Yu's wife and said, "Thank you, mom."
Shi Yu's wife smiled and said, "Mom wishes you good health and success in your cultivation."
Shi Qiyu blushed and said, "Mom, are you angry if you are not giving birth to a baby? You can see that although you forgave the baby in front, you are still angry."
When Shi Yu's wife saw Shi Qiyu talking about the past, she said, "What you said on that day really hurt Wei's heart, but there is no overnight revenge between mother and son. And don't blame the old lady. Later, she asked you for weapons and elixirs. I also heard about it. My mother-in-law is good at everything, but she cares too much about the Shi family. Once she gets serious, she has a very bad temper."
Shi Qiyu didn't want to mention Old Lady Shi, and said with a smile: "Mom, you are such a good person."
Shi Yu's wife held Shi Qiyu's hand and said, "My family knows her own affairs. She looks a little arrogant to others on weekdays, but I have the capital to be arrogant. With you and your father behind me to support me, what's wrong with me being arrogant."
"Well, my mother is right! The same is true in our cultivation world. With strength as the most respected, the relatives of those powerful monks are naturally more privileged than others." Shi Qiyu agreed.
When Shi Yu's wife heard that her son also supported her, she smiled and said, "It's still my son who loves me."
Shi Qiyu asked, "Mom, what do you want?"
Shi Yu's wife declined, "No, you gave your mother enough last time. If you really want it, you just want you to marry a fairy and come back to give birth to a fat grandson for me. But my mother has asked several famous Taoist priests in the past few days. There is something different about the fairy and mortals. It may take you seventy or eighty years to retreat, and your mother may be gone in a blink of an eye. So my mother has nothing to want. As long as you have time, you will think of your mother occasionally in your heart."
Shi Qiyu felt a little uncomfortable. He thought he would no longer feel uncomfortable because of the Shi family. However, this time it was different from the last time Shi Yu abandoned him and chose royal power. This time it was because Shi Qiyu felt his mother's sincere love.
Shi Qiyu nodded and said, "Mom, it's unfilial. The child has never known his mother's name."
Shi Yu's wife smiled and said, "Then you have to remember it. Her mother's surname is Liu Mingting. She was the most popular beauty in Qindu at the time."
Shi Qiyu nodded and said, "My Shi Qiyu's mother is naturally unique."
Seeing Shi Qiyu's solemn appearance, Shi Liu said happily: "Mom really wants to take you to show off in front of those sisters."
"Okay, let's go." Shi Qiyu agreed.
Shi Liu just said casually, but never thought Shi Qiyu would agree. He was overjoyed and said, "Then let's go."
Just as a group of people poured into the Shi family, Shi Liu, the wife of the head, took Shi family Qilinzi out to meet her sisters. In the eyes of Shi Liu, there was no more important than her son to accompany her. Shi Yu was shocked when he saw the two of them going out together at the door. Even if someone next to him greeted him, he didn't reply immediately. He reacted later and then hugged the man.
It is normal for Shi Liu to have that idea, because she has never held power to command the Wulin. A person who has long been eroded by this feeling came to the Shi family before Wu.
Mo Zhu followed Yu Zhi, Zhai Wang and others, and there were only more than 20 people left behind by nearly a hundred people. Zhai Wang looked even more panicked, as if he was greatly frightened.
When Shi Yu saw Mo Zhu coming, he went over to Qi Jiaojue, who was having a great time talking to him. Shi Yu clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Mo Zhu is here, Shi is so honored."
Mo Zhu didn't turn against Shi Yu at this time. He just felt that Shi Yu looked more and more unfathomable. Mo Zhu replied: "The King of Kuangshan did such a big thing for the righteous way of the martial arts world this time. Wu Lin still has to rely on Kuangshan King in the future."
Qi Jiaojue knew that Mo Zhu's words were openly praised and criticized, saying that Shi Yu was an official in the court and had to interfere in the affairs of the world. Qi Jiaojue said, "I remember Mo Zhu, you were a teacher in a college back then. Isn't this because you did a lot of things to help the righteous martial arts world do to get to your seat today?"
When Mo Zhu saw Qi Jiaojue helping Shi Yu talk, he smiled and said, "Isn't this Mr. Qi? I haven't seen Mr. Qi for many years. Then wait and ask Mr. Qi to host this martial arts conference. Do you have any objections to the King of the Backers?"
Shi Yu didn't know what Mo Zhu was selling in the gourd, but since Mo Zhu took the initiative to propose, he asked Qi Jiaojue to continue without hesitation: "Since Mr. Mo Zhu has recommended Qi Lao, Shi Yu naturally agrees."
Seeing that both of them were recommended, Qi Jiaojue said with a fist, "That's the case, I will take it with you. I have to rely on the two to support the scene for me."
"Old Qi is serious." Mo Zhu and Shi Yu said at the same time.
Seeing that the meeting presidency was arranged, Mo Zhu said: "Then I will go to the martial arts court first and wait for the supporter Wang Dajia."
"Please give me a try!" Shi Yu raised his hand and said.
Not long after Mo Zhu brought the people there, Qi Jiaojue also said that he would go inside and say hello to several friends first.
Shi Yuxiang sent Qi Jiaojue a few steps, thinking about what Mo Zhu was doing today, a round little head leaned against Shi Yu's waist. Shi Yu didn't have to turn around to know who was coming. He said, "Aren't you letting you play in the yard? Why do you run here?"
Shi Zhao hugged Shi Yu's waist and said, "Dad, it's too boring for me to play alone. I just went to find my mother, and the servants said that my mother took her brother out. My mother was partial to her and she only took her brother when she went out to play, and didn't care about me."
Shi Yu turned around and picked him up and said, "Dad is very busy today. Can you go and play by yourself?"
Seeing that Shi Yu had no time to pay attention to him, Shi Zhao said angrily: "You guys are busy! I'm going out to play by myself!"
After saying that, Shi Zhao ran out of the Shi family, and Shi Yu hurriedly asked a servant to follow him.
Seeing the clerk chasing Shi Zhao while shouting, Shi Yu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, but found that Xie Rang had arrived beside him at some point.
Xie Rang looked at Shi Zhao's figure and said, "This is Uncle Shi's youngest son."
"Well, the dog's name is Shi Zhao, who is at the age of noisy." Seeing Xie Rang up, Shi Yu not only shaved his beard, but also put on the brand new clothes he sent to him, and said with relief, "This way, I look much more energetic."
Xie Rang smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, I've made you worried."
Shi Yu patted Xie Rang on the shoulder and said, "Life well, just leave the rest to Uncle Shi."
Xie Rang knew that Shi Yu was feeling sorry for him and replied, "Uncle Shi is fine, I will find a way to avenge my grudges myself. This is also my goal in life, otherwise I wouldn't know why I live."
Shi Yu thought for a while and said, "Okay."
At this time, two old men with double hooks on their backs came to the door of the Shi family. Among them, the old man with double hooks on his back was still a wooden box standing between the double hooks on his back.
When Shi Yu saw them coming, he hurriedly went out to welcome him: "Shi Yu has met Yan Erxia and Yan Sanxia."
The two old men just nodded, without any return of gifts, instead stared at Xie Rang in the door and said, "Come here."
As soon as Xie Rang saw them coming, he wanted to go to the martial arts venue, but before he could even move, they called him to him. Xie Rang had no choice but to say hello, "Uncle Yan Er, Uncle Yan San." It turned out that these two were the sworn brothers of Xie Fang back then. They had been taking care of the Xie family after Xie Fang died.
The old man in white, known as Uncle Yan, said, "I heard that you took the golden sword of your Xie family as a gift."
Xie Rang said ashamed: "Yes."
With a snap, there were five finger marks on Xie Rang's face. The old man in black, who was called Uncle Yan San, said: "This slap was for your father. I will be the golden sword of your Xie family's ancestors."
Xie Rang didn't reply, but just stood straight.
The old man in white took the wooden box from behind the old man in black and said to Xie Rang: "You have earned a golden knife with one slap. This is what your third uncle has used to redeem for you. If you dare to take it again in the future, you will not need Xie's surname."
Xie Rang looked at the two uncles who were cold outside and hot inside, nodded and said, "Ring'er won't worry you anymore." After that, Xie Rang took the wooden box and opened it and saw the long-lost Xie family golden knife inside. Xie Rang separated the golden knife from his waist, and a sense of determination appeared in his eyes.
Seeing that the time was almost over and all the time came, Shi Yu said, "Let's go in."
Since Mo Zhu came, he surrounded him like stars arching the moon. Mo Zhu looked at the nine seats on the platform and knew that Shi Yu would definitely seize power today. But he was not worried. He had prepared before he came. As long as Shi Yu still talked about the rules of the world, Shi Yu would only gain fame today. If he wanted to win the position of leader of the martial arts world, he would probably have to wait for the next opportunity.
However, Mo Zhu is more concerned about the blue magic weapon now. He saw Duan Jue standing on the ground under the platform. The broken weapons everywhere around him made Mo Zhu want to take Duan Jue into his pocket.
Mo Zhu greeted all the people from all over the world who came to greet him in the martial arts arena. When Shi Yu came over to meet the Yan brothers and Xie Rang, the entire martial arts arena suddenly quieted down.
Shi Yu asked Xie Rang to find a seat to sit down, and then led the Yan brothers to the platform. The black cloth prison car with Ah Da was also arranged to be carried onto the platform before Shi Yu came.
Zhou Xi and others who came first had all sat down, but they didn't go to the middle seat. They just came to gain fame and benefit, and there was no need to get involved in the struggle between Mo Zhu and Shi Yu head-on.
Shi Yu could not express it too clearly in front of many people in the world. Just after the Yan brothers sat down, they sat down in the ninth seat, leaving only the center of the seat for Mo Zhu. Seeing this, Mo Zhu sat up without hesitation.
Seeing that the person was almost here, Qi Jiaojue stood up and said, "Everyone, with the recommendation of the martial arts leader Mr. Mo Zhu and the backer Wang Shi, I will preside over this martial arts conference."
As soon as Qi Jiaojue finished speaking, Zhou Xi and others' expressions changed. Shi Yu was also shocked because Qi Jiaojue's name difference between him and Mo Zhu was too obvious in front of the heroes of the world.
Mo Zhu sat leisurely and drank the tea that had been brewed next to her.
When everyone in the audience heard that Qi Jiaojue was recommended by Mo Zhu and Shi Yu, they applauded if they dared to have any objections.
Qi Jiaojue waved his hand, and everyone in the field gradually became quiet. Qi Jiaojue walked forward. He had never seen the sword of the sword of the sword of the prison car. When he held the black cloth in the prison car, he felt that it was not the sword of the sword of the sword of the sword, but a reputation that was so big that he could sit on the throne of the leader of the martial arts world.
The black cloth was unveiled, and Ada, who was tied up by chains inside. Everyone looked up and wanted to see if this killing sword Ada had three heads and six arms, could actually kill so many celebrities in the martial arts world. Unlike most people here, Zeng Hui next to Yu Zhi felt confused. It turned out that the kind old man who told him, "Don't get involved in the affairs of the martial arts world, he is free." The man who asked him to bring two thousand taels of silver to his father actually had a killing sword Ada. He finally understood why his father looked so.
When those people saw that Ada was just an ordinary old man, they couldn't help but wonder if they had caught the wrong person. Is this person really so powerful?
Qi Jiaojue was also muttering in his heart, but seeing that Mo Zhu did not get up to question, he continued: "The person who was locked in this prison car is the first person in the blood list of Wuyou Valley - Dian Killing Sword Ada. This person is notorious and has killed many righteous people in our martial arts world, including Yan Tiesheng, the owner of the sword villa, and Xie Fang, the former leader of the martial arts world...."
When Qi Jiaojue was listing Ada in the high platform, Ada in the prison car was watching the audience. These older generation masters of the world on the stage were slippery than loaches. It was obviously not easy to make them stand out and make Mo Zhu lose his reputation. So Ada speculated that the opening person Jin Wei said must be below.
