Chapter 254
"It's finally starting!"
The sun rose on a new day. Xu Jin, who had been staying at his residence for several days, finally walked out. Looking at Yun Shangjing, which seemed a bit crowded, he thought silently in his heart.
Counting the time, it has been more than ten days since Xu Jin came to Dasheng's Yunshang Capital. Now it's finally time for the princes' banquet to officially begin. The purpose of Dasheng's invitation to attend the princes' banquet will soon be revealed.
Beside Xu Jin, Han Huang and a group of Taoist soldiers also followed, and everyone walked directly towards the magnificent building in the center of Yunshangjing.
Along the way, people were surrounded by teams heading to the central hall to attend the princes' banquet. Many of them noticed the team of Xu Jin and others and cast strange glances at them.
Although they did not know Xu Jin, after seeing Xu Jin and others, they quickly guessed that this was Xu Jin who had been hotly discussed by many princes and kings recently.
"Woo, woo, woo!"
A loud horn sounded and spread throughout Yunshangjing. This was a signal to summon the princes to the banquet.
After this sound sounded, the two heavy doors in the central hall of Yunshangjing slowly opened to both sides, and a wealthy official at the door spoke loudly.
"We sincerely welcome all princes and princes to the banquet!"
This voice clearly reached the ears of everyone in Yunshangjing. After the voice sounded, it meant that all the princes who came to participate in the meeting could now enter the main hall.
At this time, the heads of the vassal kingdoms at the forefront have begun to enter the hall one after another, while the Taoist soldiers they brought with them remain outside. Later, they will be guided to the hall next to them to participate in the ceremony.
A banquet for them.
Although there were many princes and princes who came to attend the banquet, everyone entered in an orderly manner and the speed was not slow at all. Soon, Xu Jin and others also walked to the front of the hall.
At this time, most of the princes and princes who came to attend the banquet had already entered. Xu Jin was the last group to enter, and he didn't care about it at all. His own identity was more important than these princes and princes.
It's a bit worse than that. Even if some of these princes and kings are not as strong and powerful as they are today, their identities are there.
"Before I come out, you make the decision. No matter what happens, remember to protect yourself first, and don't hesitate when it's time to take action!"
Before entering, Xu Jin looked back at Wang An and spoke softly to him.
"My subordinate understands!"
Wang An heard this and spoke softly. While saying this, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Seeing the smile on Wang An's face, Xu Jin was stunned for a moment. It seemed like a long time had passed since he last saw a smile on Wang An's face. Soon, Xu Jin came back to his senses and faced
Wang An showed a smile, then turned around and walked towards the main hall with Han Huang.
Xu Jin and Han Huang were basically the last people to enter the hall. With a familiar feeling of space transformation, Xu Jin and Han Huang had already entered the space in the hall. As soon as they entered it, they felt a series of
His eyes fell on the two of them, and every glance seemed to carry a sense of oppression. Han Huang, who had followed Xu Jin in, immediately felt a little uncomfortable and his body could not help but tighten.
At this moment, Xu Jin also felt a little uncomfortable, but Xu Jin knew better that in such an occasion, he must not show his timidity, so his face was completely calm, and his eyes were very calm as he looked around the hall.
environment.
The environment in the main hall in front of me is a little different from what Xu Jin saw the last time he entered the main hall. Looking around, the sun and moon are hanging high in the sky above the main hall, arranged on both sides of the main hall. The sky is densely covered with colorful clouds, and the clouds and mists are changing.
During this period, various auspicious signs appeared.
Hundreds of pearls, like stars, are scattered throughout the hall, and below each star is the seat of a prince, and at the top of the hall, the seat belongs to the Sheng Emperor.
The location is still empty now.
The ground beneath everyone's feet and the surrounding environment seemed to be constantly changing. They were changing from high mountains and flowing water to plains thousands of miles away, from plains thousands miles away to deep mountains and swamps, and then to a bustling city.
Some princes and princes who have already taken their seats are paying attention to the changes in the surrounding environment with great interest, and are also talking to the people around them, because these changing environments are real places. These princes and princes have recognized
these changing circumstances.
When Xu Jin was looking at the environment in the hall, a bright pearl suddenly appeared above his head, and then slowly moved forward. Seeing this pearl, Xu Jin immediately understood in his heart, and then followed that
Pearl walked forward and came to two empty seats, one in front of the other and one in the back. These were the seats prepared for him.
Xu Jin was just about to sit down, but at this moment, a voice sounded beside him.
"Do you think you deserve to be sitting here?"
Hearing this voice, Xu Jin paused slightly, then turned to look at the speaker, and saw to his left, a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes, looking at him slightly sideways.
Xu Jin looked at the middle-aged man, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the long earlobes on both sides of the man. Both sides of the man's earlobes had reached to his chest, making it difficult for people not to notice.
"I feel that at least this time, I should be qualified to sit here. After all, this time is Dasheng's invitation!"
Xu Jin smiled at the middle-aged man and said. After saying that, Xu Jin sat down generously. When the middle-aged man heard this, his squinting eyes turned slightly, but he didn't
Say anything else.
As Xu Jin said, he was invited by Dasheng this time. Regardless of whether he was qualified in the past, at least Xu Jin was qualified to sit here at this princes' banquet. If there were any objections, he could directly
Propose it to Dasheng.
Watching Xu Jin sit down, Han Huang also hurriedly sat down behind Xu Jin. He felt that after the two sat down, there were fewer eyes around him, and his tense body relaxed slightly at this time.
"Buzz!"
Not long after Xu Jin and Han Huang sat down, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the hall, and all the princes who were talking in low voices stopped talking at this time.
The next moment, a golden divine light lit up at the top of the hall, and a sacred and majestic aura appeared, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.
"I have met His Majesty the Emperor!"
All the princes and princes stood up in unison at this moment and saluted Emperor Sheng who suddenly appeared at the top of the hall. Xu Jin's reaction was a little slow, but it was not obvious and it was not considered rude.
But his slow half-beat made the prince next to him who had just spoken to him show a look of disdain in his eyes.
"No need to be polite, please take a seat!"
The voice of Emperor Sheng rang out, and all the princes and princes who were saluting heard the words and sat down again.
Seeing everyone sit down again, Emperor Sheng glanced at the entire audience. When his eyes passed over Xu Jin, he did not specifically stop at Xu Jin, as if he regarded Xu Jin as an ordinary prince.
"The three-year period has come again. Thank you for coming to the banquet on time. Since the last banquet of the princes, a lot of things have happened in the princely states. Taking the opportunity of this banquet, there are some things that need to be said among the princely states.
And, this is the perfect opportunity to communicate about things that need to be communicated. Now, the banquet officially begins!"
After looking around the entire audience, Sheng Huang spoke again. As his words fell, he slowly raised his right arm forward.
Following his actions, the environment in the entire hall changed again. Lines of clouds hung down from above everyone's heads, turning into countless graceful beauties. They held various delicacies in their hands and placed them among the heads of the princes and kingdoms.
in front of him, and then turned into clouds and disappeared.
Then, the clouds, sun and moon above the head disappeared, and a picture appeared.
In the picture, there are several men with disheveled hair and naked upper bodies. Their lower bodies are wrapped in animal skins. They bow slightly and salute to the front. Among them, there is a man standing in the front, holding a scroll made of animal skins in his hand.
, the posture seems more humble than others around him.
In front of these men, stood three tall gods, their bodies shrouded in divine light, and only a general outline could be seen.
Xu Jin had seen this picture before, and basically every practitioner would be familiar with it. What the picture depicts is the time in ancient times when Yuan led the human race and made a divine-human contract with the gods.
As this picture appeared above their heads, all the princes of the vassal states picked up the wine glasses in front of them, and Emperor Sheng, who was sitting at the highest point of the hall, also had a wine glass in his hand.
"According to past practice, the first glass of wine at this princes' banquet is to pay tribute to the ancestors, but this time is different from the past. In the past three years, many things have happened in the countries, and some princes and kings have completely changed their minds from now on.
He was expelled from the vassal states, so today’s first glass of wine, in addition to paying tribute to the sages, I also want to pay tribute to everyone who came today!”
After the words fell, Emperor Sheng raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Hearing the words, the heads of the princes and kingdoms looked at each other, and then they also raised their wine glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
Xu Jin noticed that after finishing the glass of wine, some princes and kings had expressions of surprise on their faces, as if they had not expected that this year's princes' banquet would start like this with the first glass of wine.
"This first glass of wine has been finished, and then it will be the same as before, let's eat and chat!"
Emperor Sheng put down the wine glass in his hand, then raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation. Then the atmosphere in the hall instantly became a little more relaxed. At this time, Emperor Sheng opened his mouth to talk to some princes and kings.
Xu Jin looked around quietly and saw that everyone was beginning to enjoy the food in front of him, so he picked up the chopsticks unceremoniously and prepared to taste the food that only the princes and kings could enjoy.
The moment Xu Jin picked up the chopsticks, his movements paused slightly, and then he looked at the chopsticks in his hands.
The two chopsticks in the hand are made of white jade and feel warm to the touch. Runes are engraved on them, making them clearly a very good magical weapon.
Xu Jin turned his attention back to the delicious food in front of him. At this time, there were more than ten plates in front of him. The food on each plate looked very delicate. Xu Jin first stretched out his chopsticks to a group of like
Then he slowly picked up the smoky delicacy and put it into his mouth.
When Xu Jin picked up the smoke-like thing with his chopsticks, Xu Jin felt as if he had really picked up a cloud of mist, and the mist was still spreading. If it hadn't been for the fact that the cloud of things had not dispersed, and the surrounding princes
If the king of the country also enjoys the food like this, Xu Jin is a little unsure whether this thing is really a mist.
After putting this mist-like delicacy into his mouth, Xu Jin felt the delicate touch like clouds spreading in his mouth, and a clear power followed, entering his abdomen from his mouth.
, and then expand to the entire body.
At this moment, Xu Jin felt that the pores all over his body were slightly opened. After the clear power spread in his body, it was discharged from his body and took away some impurities in his body.
"call!"
Xu Jin exhaled softly, feeling that his whole body was extremely comfortable, and his whole body was particularly transparent. The first delicacy he tasted had such a taste and effect, which immediately made Xu Jin see other people across from him.
I am more interested in food.
The chopsticks stretched forward again, and this time Xu Jin picked up a round bead with a faint red light. When Xu Jin picked up the round bead with the chopsticks, he actually felt a heat from it, and the heat in his mouth was
At that moment, there was a burning sensation on the tip of my tongue.
A stream of hot air spread from Xu Jin's mouth, and then it seemed like hot magma flowed out from the red bead and entered Xu Jin's belly. This feeling made Xu Jin feel that all he needed to do was open his mouth at this moment.
The mouth can spit out a ball of fire.
However, this burning feeling did not bring much pain to Xu Jin. After he quickly adapted to this feeling, he felt an indescribable smell. At the same time, Xu Jin's body was filled with fiery power.
It gradually turned into a warm force, nourishing his whole body. Xu Jin felt that his Minghai was also slightly widened by this force.
Just when Xu Jin was about to continue enjoying the food, a voice finally sounded in the hall.
"May I ask His Majesty the Emperor, why are there people who are not the heads of the princes and kingdoms attending the banquet of the princes at this time?"
As soon as this voice came out, the princes and princes who were enjoying the delicious food all looked at Sheng Huang, and some of them looked at Xu Jin.
"Coming!"
