Chapter 461 Trading
Zhou Bingsheng said it was an evil spirit, but it retained most of the habits of human beings.
He invited Elder Zhang and Tian Lin to the main hall, and first asked someone to invite his sworn brothers, and then asked someone to set the table and provide food.
Zhou Bingsheng’s sworn brothers lived not far from him, so soon four or five Sun-Watching Gods came together.
The first one was a fat man, wearing a long robe, walking in a square step and coming to the outside of the hall: "Second brother, we just had a feast two days ago. What good day is today? Why are we having another feast?"
After the fat man entered the central hall, he saw Tian Lin and Elder Zhang at a glance.
Tian Lin was fine, but Elder Zhang was at the Nascent Soul stage. He did not actively show his cultivation, so others could not tell for a while.
However, since he could hide it from his eyesight, the fat man naturally would not regard Elder Zhang as an unknown person.
"Fourth brother, this is Fellow Daoist Zhang and Fellow Daoist Tian."
Zhou Bingsheng introduced: "I am hosting a banquet today because of the request of these two Taoist friends. I would like to ask a few brothers to come and help find someone."
Before the fat man could speak, a woman's voice sounded outside the hall and asked, "Who are you looking for? Do you need to gather the seven of us brothers and sisters?"
The woman's voice was somewhat charming, making people want to get to know her.
Tian Lin looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in black walking into the hall.
The black-clad woman's clothes were made of gauze, which was so delicate and transparent that one could see her smooth and tender white skin from outside the gauze.
But looking at her appearance, although she has the skin of a teenage girl, her face is that of a woman in her thirties.
This adds a bit of charm, making people want to spend a night with her.
"Sister Seven, you came at the right time! You know the most friends, so it would be easier for you to get information from them."
The woman in black glanced at Elder Zhang and Tian Lin, but ignored them and only asked Zhou Bingsheng, "Who do you want to know about, second brother?"
Zhou Bingsheng didn't keep the secret. He said, "This is Mei Xiangu's master, and this is Mei Xiangu's fellow disciple. They asked me to find out Mei Xiangu's whereabouts."
"Brother, are you asking about Mei Xiangu's whereabouts to help me get married?"
Outside the hall, four people entered the room.
The person who spoke was a dark-faced young man with a mouth like a fish and eyes as small as beans. The two thick and hard mustaches on the sides of his lips made him look like the reincarnation of a catfish spirit.
Zhou Bingsheng was introduced to Tianlin by Elder Zhang: "This is my third brother - it was him who once asked for Mei Xiangu's hand in marriage."
Elder Zhang didn't say anything, and Tian Lin just smiled politely.
The dignity of this "catfish spirit" was also due to the fact that it was blocked by the Goddess Tree.
Otherwise, if he really came to propose marriage, when Mei Xiangu saw it, she would simply think it was a demon and kill it to make soup.
"Friend Zhang, I have called several of my brothers here. If you have anything to say, let's talk while we eat."
While waiting for the meal, he asked his subordinates to find a singer to come up and play music and dance.
The sound of stringed instruments was quite pleasant to the ears, but the dancing girls seemed to have insufficient time to rehearse, so their dancing was very untidy.
Zhou Bingsheng apologized to Tian Lin and Elder Zhang:
"These singing girls are all village girls who died during the recent locust plague. They had no knowledge of music or dancing, and their clumsiness made the two guests laugh."
Elder Zhang took a sip of the wine in his cup and said, "If these mortals are not taken in by Daoist Fellow Zhou after they die, it would be a minor matter if they lose their minds, but the worst is if their souls are scattered!
Daoist Zhou was willing to take them in, allowing them to survive. This was a great deed.
As for their dancing skills, as long as they are given some time, they will definitely live up to Daoist Zhou's expectations in the future."
As they were talking, the nine tables were all set with food and dishes. At each table, there were young women serving wine and dishes.
Tian Lin is a true disciple of the Wendao Sect, and his status is very noble.
However, he has never enjoyed such treatment in all his time as a disciple of the Wendao Sect.
But looking at Zhou Bingsheng and his friends, they were obviously used to entertaining guests and eating in this way, which showed that their families must have been extremely wealthy when they were alive.
You know, Zhou Bing was only at the foundation-building stage when he was alive. His behavior today doesn't seem like that of a cultivator, but more like that of a child from a wealthy family.
"There is a severe shortage of food everywhere now, especially in Kitano County."
Tian Lin picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth without hesitation.
He can see through the true nature of food, so he doesn't have to worry about these evil spirits using people or other unknown foods to harm him.
"I don't know where Brother Zhou found these foods from?"
Tian Lin asked, Zhou Bingsheng said proudly:
"I loved delicious food when I was alive, so after I died, a fish pond with rare animals was placed in my tomb. Fine wine and game were also stored. These things have been maintained by formations for thousands of years, and they will not rot, decay, or break.
Therefore, until my 'resurrection', I still had enough food and clothing."
He was quite proud of what he said, which made another big man say: "I am different from my second brother! When I died, it was the end of the dynasty and the world was short of food. Not only was there nothing to eat in my tomb, but I was also killed and my flesh was cut up."
Most of these seven brothers died during the Great Qi Dynasty.
But the time of their death was very different. For example, although Zhou Bing died in a not prosperous era, there was no shortage of food in the world at that time. Although the spiritual energy was weak, it was enough for ordinary cultivators to use.
Before Dahan's death, the whole world had been without any harvest for a hundred years after the migration of people from Zhongzhou.
Perhaps because he was too hungry when he was alive, the big man's eating manners were not very elegant. While others only had a small portion of rice missing from their bowls, the big man had already started adding a fourth bowl of rice.
"If you can find my disciples this time, I can find the underworld for you and set up a Yin Gathering Formation to nourish the ghost energy in you."
After Elder Zhang finished speaking, the big man over there also put down his chopsticks.
"Although we have been awake for a short time, we have heard of the name of the Wendao Sect. As far as I know, in the underworld, apart from the Nine Netherworlds, only the Xiangxi Sect and the Wendao Sect have retained -
The Xiangxi Sect's graveyard is naturally from the mass grave. The Daoist Sect's graveyard is in the secret realm. I guess, Elder Zhang, your graveyard is from the secret realm, right?"
Seeing Elder Zhang nod, the woman over there also spoke:
"Instead of setting up a Yin Gathering Array and living on a small piece of underworld land, why not move directly to the secret realm? I heard that the secret realm is connected to the Nine Netherworlds, and is far less dangerous than the Nine Netherworlds.
If Elder Zhang doesn't mind, why not allow us brothers and sisters to enter the secret realm to make a living?"
Elder Zhang frowned slightly. Although the secret realm was not unique to the Dao Sect, it was not a restricted area that outsiders were not allowed to enter.
But there has never been a precedent of allowing outsiders to live there.
But to be honest, the secret realm is a place where yin gathers, and it is indeed suitable for ghosts to survive.
If all the ghosts in the world entered the secret realm, there would be no trouble of evil spirits invading the Northern Wilderness. After the locusts were eliminated, the people would be able to live and work in peace.
"This matter requires the consent of the sect elders. I cannot make the decision alone."
Elder Zhang promised: "As long as you can help me find Mei Xiangu, although I can't guarantee that I can let you enter the secret realm, I will also promise to do my best to make it happen."
