Chapter: 7443
At the same time, representatives of many powers at the banquet would scramble to toast Zhuo Wen one after another. All of them were enthusiastic and wanted to get to know this big man who even the city lord should treat him with courtesy.
Not long after the banquet lasted, Gong Jinghuan walked to the front desk and said to everyone: "Everyone! The mountain sacrifice ceremony is about to begin. All the boys and girls, all kinds of magic tools and other items needed for this mountain sacrifice are all available. It is well prepared!"
"This is thanks to everyone's donations, otherwise the things for the mountain sacrifice ceremony may not have been assembled so quickly! Mr. Gong thanked you all here!"
As he said that, Gong Jinghuan bowed his hands to the crowd, causing them to wave their hands one after another, saying that the city lord was too polite.
"The next step is to choose a mountain guardian..."
Gong Jinghuan looked around and opened his mouth slowly. As soon as he said this, the audience immediately fell silent.
Everyone in the audience became nervous, their eyes fixed on Gong Jinghuan.
The so-called mountain guard messengers are to escort the sacrifices needed for the mountain sacrifice ceremony to the sacred mountain.
And the holy mountain is full of dangers, and the envoys chosen to protect the mountain every year must be strong enough, otherwise, it is easy for the sacrifices not to be delivered to the holy mountain, and they may be wiped out by strange beasts on the way.
But this also means that the danger of the guardian of the mountain is extremely great. If one is not careful, it is easy to die on the way to the mountain.
Therefore, every time the mountain sacrifice ceremony, there are very few strong people who take the initiative to become the messengers of the mountain, and they are all assigned by the city lord's mansion.
Gong Jinghuan was in a good mood. Not only did he get the magic pill given to him by Zhuo Wen this time, but Zhuo Wen also took the initiative to ask Ying to become the envoy of the mountain.
He knew very well that with a strong man like Zhuo Wen in charge, there shouldn't be too many problems with the escort this time, and the sacrifice should be able to be sent smoothly into the sacred mountain.
"Everyone! This time, a strong man took the initiative to become the envoy of the mountain!" Gong Jinghuan said with a smile.
In the main hall, everyone's eyes flickered, showing surprise.
They didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to become a mountain guard envoy, which is a thankless job.
"The strong man who volunteered is Mr. Zhuo Wenzhuo next to me!" Gong Jinghuan pointed to Zhuo Wen beside him, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I didn't expect it to be Master Zhuo! This time, Master Zhuo will be the guardian of the mountain, so it should go smoothly!"
"Master Zhuo is far stronger than all of us, so there shouldn't be any difference this time! Even if I'm selected, I'm willing to go!"
"..."
In the banquet hall, the crowd was discussing a lot, and their eyes were full of excitement.
For most people, the Mountain Sacrifice Ceremony is an extremely important event. If there is a strong leader, it will naturally be a joyful event.
Gong Jinghuan looked around and found that everyone's emotions were mobilized, and a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
"Next, I will start announcing the list of the remaining envoys to protect the mountain! This mountain sacrifice ceremony is very important to us, I hope everyone can work together, and we must not slack off!"
Gong Jinghuan spoke again, took out a jade slip, put his mind into the jade slip, and began to read the list of the envoys who protected the mountain in turn:
"Zhou Yan, Chen Yanqi, Wang Chenlong..."
But all the monks whose names were reported basically showed excitement in their eyes, without any
conflict.
They all knew that with a master like Zhuo Wen following them this time, the basic team should be foolproof, so they no longer wanted to push and procrastinate like before.
After reading the list, Gong Jinghuan said with a smile: "Please also invite fellow daoists who have read to come out!"
Crash!
As soon as these words came out, a group of people walked out of the crowd, walked not far from Zhuo Wen and Gong Jinghuan, and stopped.
Zhuo Wen raised his eyes and found that there were more than a dozen emissaries on the mountain this time, and all of them had extraordinary auras, and they were basically at the level of Tianfa Dao.
"Brother Zhuo! Please follow me!"
Gong Jinghuan looked at Zhuo Wen, and made a polite gesture of invitation.
Zhuo Wen nodded, and followed Gong Jinghuan with strides, and the dozen or so selected monks followed closely behind.
After Gong Jinghuan and Zhuo Wen left, everyone in the banquet hall also followed.
Xi Han led Xi Qiang, Yang Zuo and Yu Hong to the front. They were still a little worried about Zhuo Wen. Although Zhuo Wen was indeed powerful, Shenshan was more dangerous.
In the ceremonies of offering sacrifices to mountains in the past dynasties, there have also been cases of strong Taoists who have never begun to perish on sacred mountains, but such cases are rare.
In the center of the City Lord's Mansion, there is a large courtyard. JrNovels.com
