Chapter 343 Wedding Banquet

July 13, 1997 (the ninth day of June in the Ding Chou Shui year of the lunar calendar) is a suitable day for offering sacrifices, seeking wealth, getting married, and making alliances.

On a starry night, on a mountain peak on the outskirts of a town in Hui City, eastern Guangdong Province, distinguished guest Luo Yi, dressed in Hanfu, passed through the gate of the Taoist temple one after another. The doorman led the guests carrying large amounts of congratulatory gifts into their respective banquets.

Chen Bin, Kate and Harry followed behind the old man, all carrying large and small packages of congratulatory gifts, while the old man showed the wedding invitation to the doorman with his sleeves covered with wind.

"The Chen family from Xin'an County in eastern Guangdong is here!" the doorman shouted loudly, and all the guests were silent for a few seconds. Then some old people immediately came forward to chat enthusiastically with the old lady.

They walked through the antique house's front door and arrived at the large front yard that had been expanded by magic. Dozens of wine tables were placed on the lawn between the fish pond and the rockery. Hundreds of guests in costumes visited each other between the banquets, making it very lively.

"What dialect did the Taoist priest speak just now?" Kate whispered in English.

Chen Bin, Kate and Harry walked behind the grandfather and whispered back: "It should be Hokkien (Fujian), right? I can't understand it either. This area is dominated by Hakka, Hokkien and Cantonese." Not to mention the monk world, there are also three major dialect areas in the secular world in eastern Guangdong. This is the intersection area of ​​the three dialects. On the contrary, although the three eastern provinces where your parents live now are three provinces, they are more like a whole. "

"Binzi, you and the juniors sit at that table. The elders and I will sit on the other side first." After saying this, Mr. Chen walked towards the main table with splayed steps.

"Why did the old gentleman sit at the table with the host?" Harry asked Chen Bin in a low voice immediately as he sat behind the table with the younger generation.

"I know this." Kate said happily: "My grandpa is the patriarch of the Chen family, that is, the direct descendant of the founder of the Qingxiu sect of the Southern Sect. Today, when the chief disciple of the Qingxiu sect marries a wife, the descendants of the founder will of course take the lead. "Family banquet."

Harry had a black question mark on his face. He obviously didn't understand founder, descendant, or Chinese customs.

After Chen Bin carefully explained, Harry was even more confused. "That means you and Higashikata are also related?"

When Chen Bin and Kate heard this, they didn't know how to explain it.

The leader of the Qing Xiu Sect believes that Chen has the blood of the originator. Regardless of whether he can inherit the magic of Lei Dan Dao, he is also a member of the Qing Xiu Sect, and his seniority is also very high, at least in the sect.

However, the disciples and even the masters of the sect have no blood relationship with the originator, but they regard themselves as members or masters of the Qingxiu sect.

"Tsk—what are three Western barbarians doing here?"

Chen Bin heard the disdainful words from his deskmate, and since the three of them looked like foreigners and were wearing suits and skirts, he knew with his buttocks who he was scolding.

"Harry, Kate, the pair of men in Chinese costumes are explaining what No ivory can come out of a dog's mouth (No ivory can come out of a dog's mouth)."

Although Harry and Kate understood every English word in the entire sentence, the translation of the second half of the sentence was completely unclear to them.

However, one of the young men in Hanfu at the same table suddenly stood up angrily and shouted: "Boy, what did you say!"

Chen Bin looked him up and down. He was similar in stature to him, quite delicate in appearance, but unusually strong in stature. He was not like a traditional monk at all.

"It's so noisy. Who has no tutor like this?" Chen Bin continued to talk to Harry and Kate in English, but did not answer the words of the young man in Hanfu.

"Fanbang boy, who are you scolding?" The young man in Hanfu came up angrily, pointed in the direction of Chen Bin and cursed.

"I'll give you a chance to say it again." Chen Bin finally waited until he pointed at him, and immediately grabbed the index finger he was pointing to with one hand, and said with a smile: "I'm from the male residence of Cuixu County, Xin'an County, Chen Bin. Just now, I was a brother-in-law. I didn’t expect that your Excellency was talking about the three of us, and now we all have the stolen goods. I wonder if you, on behalf of your mansion, are declaring war on the county man’s mansion?”

When the young man in Hanfu heard this, his face immediately changed drastically, and he couldn't pull his fingers back. He finally knew that he had kicked a iron plate today.

The old man Chen Bin was very bad. He saw that this man was eavesdropping on their conversation from the beginning, so he guessed that this man understood English before he provoked him.

The male residence in Cuixu County was not made up by Chen Bin. The originator was the prime minister with a title and a fiefdom in the cultivation world of the Northern Song Dynasty. Later, the Chen family specialized in martial arts, and their territory was reduced again and again. Their hereditary titles rose and fell in each dynasty. Sometimes they were founding princes, sometimes they were Dukes, sometimes they were county princes. In modern times, they were only county boys in name only. Reputation, and the grove outside the old house are nominal fiefdoms.

Will the Republic allow feudal titles to continue to exist?

Therefore, this county man is like a kind of virtual nobility, and the fiefdom is also a forest that allows monks to pass through.

Well, no matter how despicable this status is without even the slightest rights, Xu Jue is still a Justice of the Peace in a world where 99.9% of modern monks are ordinary clans.

However, this tall young man is cursing the descendants of the Justice of the Peace as Western barbarians, or pointing to the direct descendants of the ancestors. This is like pointing at the descendants of Yan Shenggong and cursing "dead foreign devils". What is it if it is not a declaration of war?

"I...you!" The young man in Hanfu was so angry that he couldn't speak. His fingers were still grabbed by Chen Bin, a martial artist. What he just said was obviously scolded by Chen Bin, and he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to. .

The West has this strange rule of wizard duels, but the East also has the legal requirements for family duels.

When it comes to the reputation of a clan or sect, if the provocateur does not apologize or provide evidence to support his provocation, even the Administration can only be their referee and will not favor any party.

Chen Bin saw that he was speechless and knew that he was almost scared.

When he was about to stop, another young man in Hanfu at the same table snorted coldly: "The young man of the male family in Cuixu County is very powerful."

This man was wearing a green shirt, a retro hair crown, holding a folding fan, and his eyes were slender and sinister.

Chen Bin didn't like to judge people by appearance, but the eyes are the windows to the soul, and he could tell at a glance that this handsome boy was a narrow-minded villain.

Harry didn't understand what they were talking about, but this atmosphere was definitely not friendly, so he quietly pulled out his wand and put it on the table.

Kate saw his actions, smiled and shook her head, and didn't say anything, because she didn't believe Chen Bin would really cause trouble.

However, she misjudged Chen Bin.

Although this guy doesn't like fighting, his ability to cause trouble is no less than that of the three people who are courting death.

"This man insulted the clan of the founder of the Qingxiu Sect, and joined forces with the scoundrels to frame the Cuixu Chen family as the Western Barbarians!" Chen Bin used a loud curse to spread this message throughout the vast garden, and the guests at the banquets suddenly fell silent!

"This great-grandson..." The old man just shook his head when he heard this and continued to drink his wine.

Such a small matter is really not suitable for the pillar of the clan leader to mediate. The Chinese cultivator world also pays attention to seniority.

The young man in blue obviously didn't expect Chen Bin to play by the rules. He was stared at by hundreds of people with unfriendly eyes, and his face suddenly turned from red to blue, and from blue to purple.

Of course, Chen Bin knew what common sense was. Just like in a costume drama, Chen Bin should let go of the hand holding the tall young man, and then angrily bowed to the man in blue and asked him to introduce himself.

According to the principle of TV dramas, people who dare to stir up trouble must have a great background. At least, people who provoke after hearing about the Baron family must have something to rely on.

If Chen Bin really did this, wouldn't it be a chance for him to show off and slap his face?

Therefore, Chen Bin didn't ask about the identity at all. He first confirmed the fact that these two people provoked the entire Chen family. Then he didn't care whether you were a virtual title. One was to state the facts that supported his reasoning, and the other was to conduct a family duel.

Virtual titles are no longer useful in the Republic!

This is like the pure-blooded nobles in the magic world, although they have a higher reputation, they have to rely on the strength of their subordinates when wizards duel.

Dozens of blue-clothed youths from the Qingxiu School came over, and asked the green-clothed man what happened just now with a bad face.

This is undisguised partiality. Even if martial arts practitioners are discriminated against, the Chen family is also the descendant of the founder of the Qingxiu School, that is, the Qingxiu School's own people.

Chen Bin released his hand that was holding the tall man's fingers, and kindly let the disciples of the Qingxiu Sect know what was going on. He also secretly gave them a photo stone as video evidence.

Kate became a bystander, eating melon seeds while translating their conversation for Harry.

When the guests saw the disciples of the Qingxiu Sect come forward to investigate, they quickly returned to their original excitement and paid no attention to what was happening at this table.

Since the Administration tacitly allowed or even encouraged small conflicts between sects and families to maintain the combat power of the entire cultivator world, this kind of junior quarrel that exploded at the slightest thing basically happened every day.

"I am Zhu Qitai, the fourth-generation chief disciple of the Shushan Xianling Sect, and I came to congratulate the fourth-generation chief of the Southern Sect Qingxiu Sect on his wedding..."

The young man in blue still introduced himself in a humble and unyielding manner when surrounded by more than ten people, and then told what had just happened.

He did not lie, but he did not tell the whole truth, and even beautified his actions just now, implying that Chen Bin was a junior who used his family power to oppress others, and he just couldn't stand it and stopped him.

If the disciples of the Qingxiu Sect had not read the contents of the photo stone, they would have really been fooled by this sharp-tongued bastard.

However, Chen Bin's nature was even more mean than his, and he quickly interrupted: "I just want to ask you, can you accept the family duel of the Chen family in Xin'an County on behalf of the Shushan Xianling Sect?"

Zhu Qitai, who was wearing green clothes, changed his face, Chen Bin was just talking about the pain point of the young disciple.

The Shushan Sect is a giant sect, and the giants that are comparable to it are the Kunlun Sect and the Penglai Sect.

However, the monk management bureau, which is more powerful than them, does not allow such a powerful force to exist, ahem, it does not allow overly powerful sects that may cause potential turmoil, and such large sects are therefore broken down into multiple alliances.

Take the Shushan Sect as an example, the leader is the Shushan Sect's Changmen, and the original Taoist temples were divided into dozens of independent sects named Shushan, and the Shushan Xianling Sect is one of them.

In internal ceremonies, they can call themselves the Shushan Sect; when supporting the Administration to quell the rebellion, they can be a whole, led directly by the leader.

However, during daily sectarian struggles, the various sects within the alliance are not allowed to support each other.
