Duan Yu's left arm felt like it was about to break. He endured the pain but didn't make a sound. A'Zhu had already asked someone to prepare dinner. The maidservants in the waterside pavilion held a banquet in a flower hall. A'Zhu invited Mr. Boson to take the first seat, Dongfang Sheng to take the second seat, Duan Yu to take the third seat, Wang Yuyan to take the fourth seat, and A'Bi to accompany him.
Bao Butong asked about their experiences over the past few days, and A'Zhu and A'Bi recounted what had happened over the past few days. When Bao Butong heard this, he said angrily,"Hmph, the next time I meet this monk, I'll teach him a lesson and help Sister A'Zhu and A'Bi vent their anger."”
Dongfang Sheng shook his head and sneered.
Bao Butong turned his head and said angrily,"What are you laughing at, pretty boy?"”
Dongfang Sheng was not angry with him. He smiled and said,""Laughing at the world's laughable people."
Wang Yuyan was anxious to know about Murong Fu's situation and did not want the two of them to quarrel. She interrupted and asked,"Third brother, my cousin, he…"
Bao Butong intentionally rolled his eyes at Dongfang Sheng and Duan Yu and said,"" Lady Wang, there are outsiders here. There are some things that cannot be said. Moreover, I don't trust a pretty boy with greasy hair and a pink face…"
Duan Yu's anger surged when he heard that. He stood up abruptly and was about to leave his seat. Dongfang Sheng also stood up and said to Duan Yu,""Brother Duan, looks like we're not welcomed.”Duan Yu was the son of King Zhennan of Dali Kingdom and had a respected status. He had never been ridiculed like this. He immediately said, Brother Dongfang, let's go." As they spoke, the two of them were about to walk out of the door.
Suddenly, Bao Butong said in a strange tone,"Slow down, it's not that easy to leave. This Dongfang guy said that we can take some samples from Canhe Village. I don't know if he stole anything from my village. It won't be too late to leave after searching me.”
Dongfang Sheng turned around upon hearing this. He did not get angry, but instead smiled happily."That's right. I took a palm book from Canhe Village. It was given to me by your master. If you have the ability, come and take it back.”
Hearing this, Bao Butong jumped up from his chair and pounced on Dongfang Sheng. "Third Brother, don't! That person is extremely powerful!" Wang Yuyan exclaimed.”
Dongfang Sheng pointed his right hand to the right. A long saber hanging on the right wall of the parlor suddenly jumped out of its scabbard and flew in front of him. Dongfang Sheng flicked his finger on the hilt of the knife, and the knife spun and went straight for Bao Butong. Bao Butong was in the air and could not dodge. He was shocked and was about to block it with his hands when Dongfang Sheng took out three stones and flicked them with his fingers. They hit the long saber first. With a clear clang, the long saber broke into four pieces in the air and flew away. Bao Butong had just walked through the gates of hell. He fell to the ground dejectedly, his body covered in cold sweat.
Dongfang Sheng waved the folding fan in his hand and smiled.""Hmph hmph, the Murong family is so imposing. Even a lackey is so arrogant.”As he spoke, he pulled Duan Yu out of the door and said from afar,"Frog at the bottom of a well. The next time you see that monk, lead your young master to hide far away, lest the Murong family's incense line be cut off. Hey, little girl Zhu, I want to buy a boat from you.”As he spoke, a golden leaf floated over from outside the door and landed on the table.
Only then did Bao Butong wake up from his dream. He looked at Wang Yuyan and said,"Lady Wang, have you seen this person's background?”
Wang Yuyan frowned and said in distress,"I can't tell what kind of kung fu this person is using either. Logically speaking, it should be a world-class finger technique, but I've never seen it mentioned in any books. This person is so powerful, if I make things difficult for cousin, I'm afraid…"
When the other three heard Wang Yuyan's words, they were secretly shocked. They stared blankly at the fragments of the long saber on the ground and the golden leaves on the table.
Duan Yu and Dongfang Sheng rowed a small boat from Fragrance Listening Pavilion and entered the lake. Duan Yu felt depressed. He couldn't tell what the reason was. If Dongfang Sheng hadn't been by his side, he would have burst into tears.
Dongfang Sheng saw Duan Yu's expression and knew that he was unable to extricate himself from Wang Yuyan, but Wang Yuyan did not take him to heart at all. His heart was upset, and he could not help but sympathize with Duan Yu's deep feelings. However, he couldn't tell him directly that Wang Yuyan would leave Murong Fu and follow him in the future. Besides, he had come to this era. Who knew if it had affected the fate between these two people? At that moment, there was nothing much to explain. He felt something in his heart and softly chanted,"There are always infatuated people in the world of mortals. If it wasn't for the bone-chilling cold, where would the plum blossoms smell…"
Hearing this, Duan Yu cheered up a little and turned around to ask,""Brother Dongfang, who wrote this poem?”
Dongfang Sheng saw that he was in a better mood, so he patted his shoulder and said,""Sincerity can break metal and stone. Brother Duan doesn't need to be too sad about a temporary setback.”
Duan Yu bowed to Dongfang Sheng and said,""Thank you for your explanation, Brother Dongfang."
Dongfang Sheng laughed." Brother Duan, let's row quickly. When we reach the town, we'll get drunk and drown our sorrows."”The two rowed north. When it was almost noon, the two of them arrived at Wu Xi City.
Dongfang Sheng had been to Wuxi several times before. Many buildings in the city had been preserved for later generations, and the layout of the city had not changed much. Therefore, when Dongfang Sheng stepped into the city, he felt a very familiar feeling. Duan Yu had never been to Jiangnan before, so he saw that this place was very prosperous and had a different scenery compared to Dali. Therefore, the two of them had a great time wandering around the city. Of course, Dongfang Sheng had another purpose, which was to find the Building of Pines and Cranes. Although it was written in the book that Duan Yu had returned from Swallow Dock and met Qiao Feng in the Pavilion of Pines and Cranes, Dongfang Sheng was not sure if he would meet Qiao Feng.
He had just turned a corner when he saw a restaurant in front of him. On the signboard were three golden words,"Pines and Cranes Pavilion". Dongfang Sheng secretly exclaimed," Finally!""Brother Duan, the restaurant in front has an extraordinary name.”
Duan Yu hadn't eaten for a long time, and now that he spoke, he felt hungry. "Just right, just right. Brother Dongfang, please."
The two of them went up to the private room on the second floor of the restaurant. The waiter came over to greet him. The two of them ordered a jug of wine and eight dishes and drank together.
Dongfang Sheng drank with Duan Yu while looking for Qiao Feng, but he found nothing. After drinking a few cups, Dongfang Sheng gradually felt a little tipsy. He suddenly thought of a poem and leaned against the railing of the building to recite,"
"The Peach Blossom Monastery in the Peach Blossom Cove, the Peach Blossom Immortal under the Peach Blossom Monastery; Peach Blossom Immortal planted peach trees and plucked them to sell wine money.
Sober only sit in front of flowers, drunk also sleep under flowers; Half awake and half drunk, day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year.
I hope to die of old age in the wine and flowers, not willing to bow in front of chariots and horses; The rich enjoy the dust of chariots and horses, and the poor enjoy the wine and flowers.
If you compare wealth with poverty, one is on the ground and the other is in heaven; If you compare poverty with chariots and horses, he can drive me to leisure.
Others laughed at me for being too crazy, while I laughed at others for not being able to see through me. I can't see the tombs of heroes in the Wulin (Five Mausoleums). There are no flowers and no wine to hoe the fields.”
When Duan Yu heard this, he savored it carefully and said,""Good poem, good poem."
A burly man on the west seat turned his head when he heard the poem. His two lightning-like eyes darted around the two people's faces as he said,"Good literary talent!"
Duan Yu saw that this person was in his thirties, had a tall figure, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, and a wide mouth. He had a square face that looked weathered. When he looked around, he was extremely powerful. He praised in his heart,"What a heroic man."
Dongfang Sheng knew that this person was Qiao Feng. He smiled at the man and called out to the waiter,"Put the food and wine on my tab.”
Qiao Feng was about to thank Dongfang Sheng when Dongfang Sheng said,"Friend, why don't you come over and drink with us?”
"That's the best," Qiao Feng said. Then, he called the waiter over to sit at the table.
"How should I address you, brother?" Duan Yu asked as the three sat down.”
Qiao Feng said,"Everyone, don't be so restrained. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we drink a few bowls?" When the enemy and friend were clearly identified, it lost its flavor.”
"Brother, we don't know each other, so how can we be enemies?" Duan Yu said. However, I like the four of them the most. Please, let's drink first.”As he spoke, he downed the wine in his cup.
Dongfang Sheng also said," Why do we need to know each other when we meet? Let's drink together today."”After saying that, he also downed a cup.
Qiao Feng smiled." Alright, you two are quite forthright. It's just that this cup is too small."”He turned to the bartender and said,"Give me three big bowls and 20 catties of broomcorn."”
Not long after, the bartender brought over three big bowls and a large jar of wine. He poured a bowl for everyone.
Qiao Feng smiled and said,"Come, let's drink ten bowls first. How about it?"”After saying that, he drank a bowl first.
Dongfang Sheng's alcohol tolerance was also quite good. He picked up the bowl and drank it all in one go. Although Duan Yu knew that he couldn't hold his liquor well, he didn't want to look down on Dongfang Sheng and the burly man when he saw how heroic they were. He gulped down the wine in his bowl and said," Good wine, good wine."
Qiao Feng saw that the two of them looked like young masters, but they actually drank so boldly. It was quite unexpected. He was also very happy in his heart and laughed."How refreshing." He picked up the second bowl and drank it. The two of them also drank.
After drinking the third bowl, Duan Yu could not hold on any longer. Just as he was about to vomit the wine in his stomach, his dantian moved, and a stream of true qi rushed up. The wine actually flowed out from the Shaoze acupoint on his little finger through the Xiaohai, Zhizheng, and Yanglao acupoints on his left arm like true qi. After a short while, he felt clear-headed and shouted in his heart,""Wonderful!"
After the three of them drank 14 to 15 bowls each, Dongfang Sheng gradually felt that he could not drink anymore. He immediately circulated the Nine Yang Divine Skill with all his strength, and the alcohol in his body gradually dissipated. His face also turned from red to white.
Seeing that the two of them were actually getting more and more energetic, Qiao Feng was secretly amazed in his heart. He smiled and said,"The two brothers have quite a good tolerance for alcohol. Waiter, give me another 20 catties of wine."
The three of them were drinking at the Pavilion of Pines and Cranes, sharing a bowl with each other. It was even more elegant than drinking water and tea. The customers in the building had long been alarmed. Even the cooks and cooks under the stove had come upstairs to watch the three of them compete.
