Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 199: Drinking Contest

After Qi Xuansu finished his speech, no matter what the people in the audience thought, they must have applauded.

If they made some adjustments to the seating arrangement, they could still cover it up with an unintentional mistake. If they really kept silent, and used this almost public way to slap Qi Xuansu, it would not hit Qi Xuansu's face first, but Shi Dazhenren's face.

Because it was Shi Dazhenren who decided to give Qi Xuansu the title of Friend of the Taoist Palace, the title of Friend of the Taoist Palace can be regarded as an achievement promoted by Shi Dazhenren. When Qi Xuansu spoke, he also said at the beginning: Shi Dazhenren asked me to prepare, and I am very terrified.

If the whole audience treated Qi Xuansu coldly after his speech, were you targeting Qi Xuansu? Or were you targeting Shi Dazhenren for other purposes? Did you think Shi Dazhenren's decision was wrong?

In any case, Qi Xuansu was a member of Beichen Hall and could not control them, which was one of the reasons why they were so fearless. Shi Dazhenren is different. As the Grand Master of the Palace, he can actually decide the future and life and death of some people, not to mention that Shi Dazhenren is now a member of the Jinque Small Discussion.

However, Qi Xuansu can also be sure that there will soon be rumors that he Qi Xuansu is too arrogant and looks down on the people of Wanxiang Dao Palace, and even talk about his past experiences. After all, Qi Xuansu's experience in Wanxiang Dao Palace is not very outstanding. There are no awards. It can only be said that it is mediocre. His truly outstanding experience is after leaving Wanxiang Dao Palace.

Although Taoism has been de-Confucianized for so many years, the idea that everything is inferior except for reading is still deeply rooted in people's hearts.

This set is still very powerful. First, it proves that Qi Xuansu's performance in Wanxiang Dao Palace is not good, and then extends a question. Since Qi Xuansu's performance is not good, why did he get promoted so quickly? From this, a conclusion is drawn that it must be a privilege. Worshiping the godmother and holding the thigh of Donghua Zhenren, how can he not get promoted quickly?

Then there is a reason to criticize and slander, and all Qi Xuansu's efforts and contributions can be wiped out.

There is a logic here. Academic performance directly determines the height of life. People who are good at studying must be good at being officials. If they are not good at doing well, it must be because of the bad environment.

This is really a scholar's view. What you learn from books, transforming it into practice and applying it, is not just talk, but also requires certain abilities. If you can only learn but not use it, then you are just reading books and studying hard.

So the real reason is that people who are good enough are good at everything, including studying, being an official, fighting, etc. Some people are just suitable for studying and taking exams, but not good enough.

Because these people have certain similarities and overlaps with good enough people in studying, they mistakenly think that they are also good enough people. When good enough people soar to the sky and they cannot stand out, they start to complain.

The Taoist Palace is not short of such people who can read but are not good enough.

Qi Xuansu doesn't care about this. There are many people who slander him, and these few are not bad.

When Qi Xuansu is awarded the title of Friend of the Taoist Palace, it will be a banquet.

Because the Chinese banquet was too serious, the hierarchy was too strict and clear, which was not conducive to showing the approachability of the real people, so it was changed to a more relaxed Western banquet. Huangfu Ji was still a little uncomfortable, after all, this was a taboo in the West Dao Gate.

In addition to the normal red wine, yellow wine, and white wine, this banquet actually prepared "Drunken Life and Dream of Death", which was a top-notch wine. When Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were not yet rich, it was difficult for both of them to drink this kind of good wine, because half of their family assets were spent on a meal. Obviously, this was a specification, mainly for the guests of the West Dao Gate. If it weren't for Shi Da Zhenren or Sun Hewu's words, the Dao Palace would definitely be reluctant to take it out.

Qi Xuansu was known as "not drinking a drop of alcohol" outside, and only made an exception for Zhang Yuelu. There was an exaggeration here. How could he not drink a drop of alcohol? But under normal circumstances, Qi Xuansu did not drink much, especially "Drunken Life and Dream of Death", a wine that could make people drunk.

So he just asked for a glass of yellow wine to pretend.

People kept coming to toast Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu was not so arrogant as to refuse all of them, but he was just pretending, not really intending to drink freely. His status was high enough, and he was surrounded by some aura. Whether it was the overthrow of Wang Jiaohe or the fierce reputation of Beichen Hall, many people would be in awe and dare not get involved.

It was true that some people were provoking Qi Xuansu, and there were also many people who were afraid of Qi Xuansu.

This is the case of a big forest with all kinds of birds.

But there were also those who were blind and had to make things difficult for Qi Xuansu.

An assistant came to Qi Xuansu, and brought a few people with him to toast Qi Xuansu, and even wanted to compete in drinking. This kind of drinking competition also has its own rules. You cannot use your cultivation to dissolve the alcohol, and you can only compete with your own alcohol capacity. Otherwise, it is not a drinking competition, but a competition of realm cultivation. Not only can you not get a result, but you will also waste alcohol.

In general, anyone who secretly uses his cultivation has a bad drinking habit. If you use the argument that drinking habit is the same as one's character, you can link it to a bad character. So no one would do anything.

However, martial artists have innate advantages and strong physiques, so few people would challenge martial artists to a drinking contest.

This is also the reason why these people dare to challenge Qi Xuansu to a drinking contest. In terms of cultivation, we are not as good as you, but the drinking capacity is another matter. The key is that there are many people. They don't know that Qi Xuansu is a martial artist. Now the Taoist sect assumes that Qi Xuansu is a banished immortal.

Speaking of which, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are also well-known for their drinking capacity. Zhang Yuelu is famous for his ability to drink well and can beat a "drunken man" without having to cultivate himself. Generally, no one goes to Zhang Yuelu's place to feel uncomfortable. Every drinking party , Zhang Yuelu was in an invincible and lonely situation, drinking his own drink. Qi Xuansu is known as "a teetotaler", so others will inevitably think, why don't you drink? Can't I drink it? It is reasonable for husband and wife to complement each other.

So there was this wine fight.

They probably don't know how Qi Xuansu punished people who gave him alcohol when he was in the Borneo Taoist Palace.

Qi Xuansu naturally refused all the drinks.

This assistant manager is a stranger. Although he is smiling hard, his face is evil. He may be flattering to others, but he must be harsh to others. Qi Xuansu rejected him, and he felt a little embarrassed on his face.

Qi Xuansu probably knows this person's mentality. Both of them are second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests. Neither of them has any knowledge. They may also be promoted to the master palace. This assistant is a seventh-generation disciple and is older than Qi Xuansu. He may think that The two of them are on the same level and should respect each other.

In his opinion, if Qi Xuansu didn't drink his toast, he wouldn't give him face, and he was being arrogant. This is obviously because he is arrogant and cannot tolerate any disobedience. He really regards himself as a person.

Speaking of which, there are quite a few such people. After all, to reach the position of second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, everyone has some connections. Take Pei Xiaolou as an example. Apart from having a good character, he doesn't have anything else, so why should he be able to gain a foothold? Just because my brother is Donghua Zhenren! Although Qi Xuansu had just become a disciple of Zhenren Donghua, the change in his thoughts always lags behind the change in reality, which means that many people have not yet turned this corner.

Qi Xuansu had no intention of delving into the background of Gao Fuli, and just wanted to make a few casual remarks. It happened that at this time, Ning Yuqing came over and toasted to Qi Xuansu.

Ning Yuqing is undoubtedly a beauty, and with her good family background, she is the most beautiful woman in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. She is the dream fairy of many teachers and Taoist boys. She walked towards this side, and before she even reached Qi Xuansu, she had already attracted the attention of many people.

Men are quite worthless sometimes. Not only do they follow women with their eyes, but also their thoughts and emotions. When you meet a powerful woman, you will inevitably be slipped around, but you still enjoy it. Only when you end up in vain will you know that you have no regrets. and.

This is especially true for drunk men. When they see a beautiful woman, they have to go up to show off their masculinity. If there is a male companion around this beautiful woman, they will make trouble for that male companion to highlight their own masculinity. powerful. It seems no different from the male birds competing for females.

Ning Yuqing toasted to Qi Xuansu, and Qi Xuansu immediately felt full of malice.

Although most people were afraid of Qi Xuansu's status and did not dare to do anything, Assistant Gao had no such scruples and directly talked about Ning Yuqing. It was strange that Ning Yuqing originally brought a glass of red wine, but he insisted on saying that red wine cannot express Sincerity must be "drunk to death". He also said that Qi Xuansu could not drink his wine, but he had to drink the wine of a beauty. It was the most difficult for him to accept the kindness of a beauty.

Qi Xuansu is not a good-tempered person.

There is anger, but I always suppress it and tell myself to control my anger. But some people in the Taoist palace repeatedly provoked him, making his patience run out.

So Qi Xuansu said: "Young Daoist Ning is my friend. You can drink her wine anytime, but I won't drink it today. But Gao Fuli's wine is something you have to drink and you must drink it."

Ning Yuqing glanced at Qi Xuansu in surprise. Out of a woman's intuition, she vaguely felt that Qi Xuansu was angry. So she said nothing and just stepped aside silently.

Assistant Gao was still unaware and said loudly: "Okay, Chief Qi is happy enough!"

Qi Xuansu added: "But for me, it's okay if I don't drink. If I want to drink, I have to drink to the fullest. If anyone gives up halfway, don't blame me for being unkind. All Taoist friends in Borneo Taoist Prefecture know this. of."

The few people following Gao Fuli were glanced at by Qi Xuansu, and they felt a chill on their backs. They wanted to give in, but because their boss refused to retreat, they could only bite the bullet and agree.

Qi Xuansu ordered: "Take two jars of 'Drunken Life, Dreaming of Death.'"

Ning Yuqing immediately asked the Taoist next to her to get the wine.

Soon, two altars of "Drunken Life and Dreams of Death" were delivered to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu said: "No need to cultivate."

After saying that, Qi Xuansu opened a jar of wine and drank it all in one go. Qi Xuansu's face turned red because he didn't use his cultivation to resist, but Qi Xuansu relied on his martial arts body to stand still.

Qi Xuansu blushed, and Gao Fuli turned pale.

Only then did he realize that he had made the wrong calculation: "W-what do you mean?"

"What did you say?" Qi Xuansu snorted coldly, "Drink."

Gao Fuli wanted to say something else, but he heard Qi Xuansu say: "Gao Fuli just said so much, why his admiration for me is like a torrent of water, is it all bullshit? Do you look down on me?"

When the words fell, Qi Xuansu had already pinched the back of his neck: "Since you don't drink, then I will help you."

Qi Xuansu's attack was like lightning. In just a blink of an eye, Qi Xuansu poured a jar of wine into Gao Fuli's mouth. Qi Xuansu also did not forget to seal Gao Fuli's cultivation so that he could not use his cultivation to resolve it.

For a moment, Gao Fuli felt like the world was spinning. He had completely forgotten his last name and his ancestors for eight generations.

As for the other few people, they were not spared either, and soon they were exposed to all kinds of ugliness.

This incident made Master Shi very angry, and he suspended all the duties of Assistant Gao on the same day and asked him to wait for further processing.
