Chapter 34: Zheng Zhilan

Zhou Li walked out of the view with a handwritten letter.

There are only about 200 words on the handbook, scribbled handwriting, writing the greetings of the old master to the girl surnamed Zheng who he has not seen for a long time and Zhou Li's going to borrow the book, and the end is also stamped with the seal of the master.

In this era, there are still people who retain this form of communication, which makes Zhou Li a little surprised.

It's an amazing feeling.

Behind him, the old watchman advised: "Don't linger on the road, go fast, it's going to rain, it's better to come back before dark, and then you can stay in the temple for the night." ”

Zhou Li turned around and thanked him.

He took out his phone and found the village called the Yin-Yang Temple.

It's now two o'clock in the afternoon.

The navigation shows twelve kilometers, mountain roads, ordinary people rarely say that they have to walk for three hours, his feet are very fast, he can run, if nothing else, he can come back before dark.

Zhou Li walked to the path and looked back.

The old man sat down under the eaves again, sitting on a small bamboo bench, he looked up at the small temple, on the top of the small temple, the old demon sat leisurely, and also looked in his direction.

Zhou Li retracted his gaze and walked forward.

After an hour the air was noticeably wet, and Huai Xu sat on a grave bag by the side of the road waiting for him, his hands spread out as if to catch something in the air.

"It's going to rain. ”

"Well, it's not far. ”

"I felt a terrible aura. Huai Xu was rarely worried, "There's a big demon's territory ahead." ”

"Huh?"

Zhou Li suddenly stopped and looked at Huaixu.

Huai Xu pondered and said: "His aura is terrifying, but I can't say for sure, it may just be that his aura is strong, but in fact, he is not good at fighting? ”

Before Zhou Li could say anything, he suddenly heard a roar.

A man and a demon looked up, only to see a behemoth with wings shuttling through the dark clouds.

"It's huge!"

"Goo!"

Huai Xu was stunned, and so was Zhou Li.

Immediately, the behemoth plunged into the clouds and disappeared in front of the eyes of the two.

Zhou Li looked at Huaixu.

Huai Xu thought for a long time, and said solemnly: "Seeing that the situation is wrong, you immediately pretend not to know me, this monster will definitely not hurt people, otherwise it will be news in the morning." I'll hide my breath for the time being, and if I'm discovered, I'll leave you and run first, or I'll be beaten up if I don't say anything!"

Zhou Li nodded.

The rain fell quickly, but I didn't see the big demon again, and one person and one demon walked along the path into a forest, which was a pine tree rarely seen in Yancheng.

"Who!?"

A pine cone fell on Huaixu's head, causing Huaixu to hold his head and look at the sky: "Who is plotting against me!"

"Quack!"

A crow stood on a branch staring at him, tilting its head.

Huai Xu almost killed it, but he swallowed it still for fear of the big demon.

However, the crow is such a high-IQ bird that is keen on flirting, seeing that Huai Xu is angry but helpless, it successfully began its journey to death, until it was pinched by Huai Xu's hand and struggled desperately.

If it weren't for Zhou Li's persuasion, it must have become Huaixu's dinner.

The crow flapped its wings in panic and flew away.

A person and a demon drill out of the pine forest, what catches the eye is a steep mountain, not close, there is a small village halfway up the mountain, and there is a path on the side of the cliff on the left to lead.

There should be twenty or thirty families in the small village, but the landslide destroyed most of the village, and it was shocking from a distance.

Zhou Li's eyes were good, and he saw sheep running on the mountainside in the distance, and saw the yellow dog running towards them along the path.

There are still people living in such a place.

"Woo Woo ......"

The yellow dog stopped in front of them, barked a few times, took a few steps back, and turned to look at them again.

"Come and pick us up?" said Huai Xu.

"Like. ”

Zhou Li walked with the yellow dog, and suddenly felt that he had walked into a painting.

After walking through half of the village, Zhou Li found that there was no one living here for a long time, the walls of the house were covered with moss, and there were weeds and bushes growing at the door and in the courtyard, and finally they came to a courtyard that seemed a little lonely behind the village.

The old house, the concrete dam is a little blackened, there is the sound of ducks, the chickens in the fence next to it are huddled in a ball to hide from the rain, and there is a crow standing on the telephone pole next to it.

Seven or eight dogs stared at Zhou Li and the yellow dog under the eaves, in addition to the common local dogs, there were also fine dogs, rottweilers, German herds and other breeds, it seems that the owner's family is not so isolated.

A fair-skinned, delicate-looking little girl stood in the doorway waiting for them, followed by a humanoid youkai.

"I've got a friend. ”

The little girl looked about the same age as Zhou Li, or even a little younger, she only glanced at Huai Xu, and then kept looking in Zhou Li's direction.

"I took the liberty to visit, and there was a lot of interruption. Zhou Li stepped forward, only to find that the other party's eyes were cloudy, and he paused, "I came from Zhihongguan, and I want to borrow the books left by the head of the Spring Mountain Daoist, and I will bring it to you if the master has a seal." ”

As he spoke, he took out the Lord's handwritten book.

The little girl stared at him a little uncomfortably.

After taking the handwritten letter, she finally withdrew her gaze, but she didn't read the handwritten letter, but said to Zhou Li: "It's raining outside, let's go inside." ”

The sound is clear.

Zhou Li sat down on a bench in the middle of the room and looked around.

The things in the house are a little old.,This should be the living room.,There's no TV.,There's a telephone landline.,Things are relatively old.,But it's very clean.,Maybe it's the demon who made it.。

The humanoid monster walked over silently, holding two teacups and carrying a pot of hot water, pouring them for Zhou Li and Huaixu.

The little girl sat across from him: "I only knew that a guest had arrived, but I didn't expect it to be a very extraordinary guest." ”

"My name is Zhou Li, and I came to you on purpose. ”

"Well, my name is Zheng Zhilan. You're the first I've ever seen...... People like me. ”

"Me too. ”

Zhou Li took the cup and took a sip, it was a little hot, he found it and said, "Your eyes are ......"

"You can see it, but you can't see it clearly. ”

"Can it be cured?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Well, I'm sorry......"

No wonder the other party kept staring at him.

Zheng Zhilan pursed her lips and said, "I probably know the purpose of your visit, but there are a lot of books on Chunfeng Dao, and they are very heavy, so I'm afraid it's not easy for you to take them away." Moreover, the content is profound, and the text used is not simplified, so it will be difficult for you to learn. ”

"So ......"

"I'll teach you. ”

"Huh?"

"I'll teach you, it's simpler. ”

"You ......" the other party is much more direct than Zhou Li imagined, which is of course a good thing for Zhou Li, but it's just ......

"But it's not convenient for me to stay here for long. ”

"Yes. ”

A flash of disappointment flashed on the little girl's face: "Then I'll take you to understand some basics, just a few days." ”

"Thank you very much, but it's convenient. ”

"Convenient, I'll go clean up your room. ”

"This ......"

Without waiting for him to answer, Zheng Zhilan got up and left, and the demon beside her also left behind her.

Zhou Li felt that the other party was afraid that he would run away.

Huai Xu said in his ear: "That demon is not strong, I don't know how good that little girl is, conservatively estimated, I can beat at least four or five of them." ”

Zhou Li didn't say anything.
