Free Web NovelChapter 1342: Chapter 503: Wedding Doll_3
Yun Ziliang genuinely wishes he could sever his master-apprentice relationship with Zhao Wuya on the spot.
Zhou Xuan didn’t have time to tease Zhao Wuya; he was lost in thought.
"The Human Pill can cause hallucinations. I used to think these hallucinations were nothing much, but now it seems their intensity is a bit excessive."
Zhou Xuan’s wedding doll is the material for refining the "Joyful Longevity Pill", and this is just the material; Zhao Wuya merely touched it, and such vivid hallucinations occurred.
"This thing is nothing but a dream that’s too real to be true."
"I just wonder, once my Joyful Longevity Pill is out of the furnace, what effect the real elixir will have once consumed."
Zhou Xuan couldn’t imagine what level of hallucination that more intense "joy" would cause after taking the elixir.
"If the hallucination becomes so intense that it can’t be more intense—then the other effects of the elixir become secondary."
For a moment, Zhou Xuan seemed to understand why the Buddha Country wanted to push the elixir disaster in the Heavenly Dome.
These elixirs can truly control the spirit of the Heavenly Fire Clan.
...
The flowing feast continues,
Yun Ziliang is already earnestly carrying out thought work for Zhao Wuya.
He quite likes this Dragon Seeking young disciple; this disciple is marked by Great Buddha Fate, with Twenty-one Zen residing within him. If carefully cultivated, he would be an excellent candidate for succeeding as the Dragon Seeking Sect Leader in the future.
But if those thoughts were crooked—it would be unacceptable—the scene with a full sect of female disciples, he dared not imagine what it would be like.
"Be honest, if you dare to have crooked thoughts about recruiting female disciples again, your Grand Master will get ruthless." Yun Ziliang disciplined him while threatening.
"Ah, Grand Master wants to drive me out of the mountain gate?" Zhao Wuya was somewhat afraid.
Yun Ziliang said instead: "I will castrate your little toy, to be gone forever."
"..." Zhao Wuya heard it and his hair stood on end, covering his crotch.
Zhou Xuan clinked glasses with Yun Ziliang, and said, "That won’t cure Ya Zi—if you castrate Ya Zi, the male disciples may suffer a great disaster."
Yun Ziliang, Zhao Wuya: "..."
While Zhou Xuan was joking with Yun and Zhao, King Xishan was getting drunk.
This Fox King first practiced Dun Jia, then Dragon Seeking, and finally comprehended the "Gorge True Scripture," but also as a result, "yin energy became too strong, and yang energy weakened," causing his meridians to disharmonize.
Such a person with disharmonized meridians has poor tolerance for alcohol at the dining table, coupled with the fact that many fox descendants are here today, each large and small house of foxes must toast Mu Hua.
But Mu Hua can’t drink too much, so King Xishan as the "third brother" naturally has to block the drinks for Hua Zi.
Round after round of drinking, he was so overwhelmed by the alcohol that he felt dizzy and unsteady.
In his dazed state, he looked at this flowing feast and felt it wasn’t like a feast—looking very much like when he had not yet rebelled against the Hu Sect, leading the fox descendants to attend the "Sect Leader’s Birthday Banquet."
The Hu Sect used to rely on the "Shaman," becoming the outer sect disciples of the Great Hall of the East Gate Mansion.
Every year on the Laba Festival, is the birth of the Eternal Life Sect Leader, and on that day, all major outer and inner sect disciples must go to the Mang Mountain of the East Gate Mansion to celebrate the Sect Leader’s birthday.
Since it’s a birthday, some gifts must be brought.
Hu Sect’s gifts for each birthday are largely the same—three thousand foxes.
These foxes are sacrifices offered to the Sect Leader, drawn from the Fox Clan through life and death lottery as spirit foxes.
On the day of the birthday, King Xishan and some elders of the Fox Sect also had to sit in the audience to celebrate the Sect Leader’s birthday.
One of the banquet’s contents was the Blood Sacrifice; the Sect Leader would choose ten or so of the most spirited foxes from the three thousand foxes and publicly behead them on the stage during the birthday performance, catching their blood in wine to distribute to each guest present.
Every time at this moment, King Xishan grieved over the fate of the spirit foxes of the Fox Sect and felt an extremely strong sense of humiliation.
He sat there as a big figure of the Fox Sect, yet could only sit below the stage, watching his kind being beheaded by the shamans for wine.
This sense of humiliation was also an important reason why King Xishan rebelled against the Fox Sect and vowed to bring a new way of life to the entirety of the Fox Clan.
And now, under Zhou Xuan’s support, the Fox Clan indeed welcomed a new life.
But when King Xishan got drunk in the flowing feast on East Market Street, that sense of shame surged again.
He hazily saw on the stage foxes one after another without heads kneeling down, with guests carrying large bowls going up with smiles to pour blood wine.
He again heard those shamans enthusiastically greeting him: "Grandmaster Hu, this year’s spirit fox tastes good, vigorous, and drinking it is truly exciting." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"The Fox Clan needs a new way of life."
King Xishan, while drunk, actually started muttering to himself, and these words happened to be heard by Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan offered a cup of wine, saying to King Xishan: "Today’s Fox Clan already has a new way of life."
King Xishan heard Zhou Xuan’s voice, his drunkenness reduced by half, quickly took the wine, and said to Zhou Xuan: "Mr., with your help, the Fox Clan folks are living better days."
Zhou Xuan pointed to the distant Eternal Life Sect Leader, and said to King Xishan: "Lao Xi, do you wish to overthrow the Eternal Life Sect Leader, to avenge the former Fox Clan?"
King Xishan shook his head and said: "We once signed a contract with the Sect Leader, we offer spirit foxes, he ensures the safety of our clan, although he rarely practices the contract, it’s clearly inked on white paper, and we Hu Sect can’t go back on it."
He was the head of a clan, his skills in endurance were honed over years, to endure, he couldn’t act recklessly.
"Even if you kill the Eternal Life Sect Leader, I wouldn’t mind, but the person, I am currently making use of. Once it’s done, whatever you wish to do, I won’t stand in your way either."
Zhou Xuan said to King Xishan: "But today, I am going to give the Fox Clan a big gift."
"What gift?"
"First wash away a wave of your Fox Clan’s humiliation." Zhou Xuan said.
King Xishan was puzzled, not understanding what Zhou Xuan meant to do.
Zhou Xuan called over Mr. Li Bin, asking: "Old Ding, how many programs are left in this banquet?"
"Three more programs, now it’s Mr. Ji from Qingfang Garden singing ’Iron Slide Car.’
Zhou Xuan pointed at the Eternal Life Sect Leader, saying to Mr. Li Bin: "Old Ding, have your disciple go give Mr. Ji a signal, let him wrap up after singing a short segment, and you, go tell the Eternal Life Sect Leader—have him sing a number from Fengliu Opera for the Fox Sect’s fox gentlemen."
"..." King Xishan almost couldn’t believe his ears.
Let the God-level person behind the "Shaman" sing a popular "Fengliu Opera" unique to the East Gate Mansion, he understood all too well what it meant.
"Mr., can you really do this..."
Before King Xishan could finish, Zhou Xuan rather gently yet firmly asked: "Lao Xi, Fengliu Opera, I don’t really understand it, tell me which show would be most appropriate for the Eternal Life Sect Leader to sing?"
"Mr., I’m afraid you might offend that Eternal Life Sect Leader..."
"Fear what offense, today the Fox Clan was invited, plus it’s Mu Hua and Sister Cui’s happy day, they are both ’Cloud Generation’ folks of the Fox Clan, this flowing feast is hosted by me, your Fox Clan people must genuinely rejoice."
Zhou Xuan pointed at the banquet and said: "I’m not someone who likes bloody, murderous affairs at banquets, but a situation of apologizing with opera, that’s something the Eternal Life Sect Leader must do."
King Xishan was so excited he didn’t know what to say, his tongue was almost tied.
Zhou Xuan asked again: "Lao Xi, what Fengliu Opera should the Eternal Life Sect Leader sing?"
"Sing... sing... ’Great God Tune’ then." King Xishan said.
This "Great God Tune" originally stemmed from the divine invocation words of "Shaman," later absorbed into local opera, becoming a famous segment in Fengliu Opera, having the Eternal Life Sect Leader sing this carried some unspeakable implication.
Zhou Xuan agreed, saying to Mr. Li Bin: "Old Ding, tell the Eternal Life Sect Leader to sing ’Great God Tune.’
Mr. Li Bin was somewhat afraid to go, saying: "Mr., that one isn’t a human of the human world, it’s a god from heaven, I as a mere ceremonial usher can’t afford to provoke him."
"What do you mean by provocations."
Zhou Xuan took out the "wedding doll" from the Secret Realm, boldly placed it on Mr. Li Bin’s tray, saying: "Go ahead, once the Sect Leader sees this doll, naturally no words will be spoken, and he’ll gladly ascend the stage."
