Elder Zhu smiled, "Why not? When Duan Shuai heard this, he moved his arm intentionally or unintentionally, a miracle happened, he could actually move, not only his arm, but his whole body could move freely. Duan Shuai was surprised: "This... Mr. Zhu said: "Don't ask me why, in fact, you can move all the time, but you imagine that you can't move, so you force yourself not to move." ”

Duan Shuai looked at Elder Zhu suspiciously, and then looked at his body, he didn't believe Elder Zhu's words, but he couldn't disbelieve them all. As a result, he really began to wonder if he was trapped. Elder Zhu continued, "Come, drink this cup of tea. But I can remind you, if you think it's poisonous, you'll die in the next second, and if you don't think it's poisonous, then you'll drink the freshest and most delicious tea in the world. ”

Duan Shuai looked at the cup of tea in front of him, and his mind suddenly became a little chaotic, what is true and what is false? Is it trapped by yourself? Did I walk through that bamboo forest to get here? Or have I been going back and forth in vain through this bamboo forest path? Duan Shuai looked at this cup of tea, and seemed to be unable to see what he had done here.

He eventually smiled and took the cup of tea. The fragrance of tea blew down the breeze to Duan Shuai's snort, Duan Shuai seemed to hesitate, but he didn't care about handing the teacup to his mouth. The moment his lips and teeth touched the mouth of the cup, he was suddenly startled, and his whole body shivered, and Elder Zhu suddenly showed a look of surprise, but he pretended to wait quietly without knowing it.

He hoped that Duan Shuai drank this cup of tea, but he would not force him to drink it. Duan Shuai finally put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Elder Zhu's tea is really a good tea, but it's a pity that the younger generation didn't have the opportunity to taste it, it's really a pity in life." Elder Zhu closed his eyes and said slowly, "What? Do you think this tea is not fragrant? Duan Shuai smiled: "If you think it's fragrant, then it's the most fragrant tea in the world, and if you think it stinks, then it's more stinky than any kind of stinky water in the world." ”

Elder Zhu took two steps back suddenly, the brush in his hand also fell to the ground, the wind and dust swept by, Elder Zhu was unrecognizable, and Duan Shuai returned to the bamboo forest path again. There was a chuckle in his ears: "The Duan Alliance Master is really smart, you don't need to come here with me again, you two take him to Elder Ju!" ”

The two envoys also took Duan Shuai around the bamboo forest path, and when they heard this, they hurriedly led Duan Shuai through the bamboo forest path. Duan Shuai didn't know if everything that happened just now was true or false, the only thing he could be sure of was that the spotted bamboo had been deeply imprinted in his heart, and he would never forget it in his life, just like his feelings for Lu Yu, he would never forget it in this life.

The knot is in the human realm, and there is no noise of cars and horses. Ask you how you can be, and your heart is far away. Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see the South Mountain. The mountain weather is good, and the birds are returning. There is a true meaning in this, and I have forgotten to distinguish it. The chrysanthemum hall is full of chrysanthemums, most of which are yellow under the illumination of the lights, but there are also some rare varieties. In the sea of colorful flowers, an old man wearing a hat is bending over to pick up flowers and plants.

Duan Shuai asked, "Could this be Elder Ju?" The two messengers were silent, brought him here, and then departed. Duan Shuai had no choice but to step forward and ask, "Old man?" Old gentleman? Excuse me... Before he could say anything, the man in the hat suddenly shushed and said, "Don't speak." ”

Duan Shuai had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, and after waiting for a while, the man smiled and touched the flower he had just picked up: "This must be the famous Duan Alliance Master, right?" Duan Shuai smiled: "It's just a false name, not enough to worry about." When the man raised his head, Duan Shuai was simply startled, compared to the faceless, this person looked even more terrifying.

It's not that he's too ugly, but he's too good-looking. His beard and hair have turned gray, but his face is dusty, like a baby's skin, full of moisture, which makes people want to go up and pinch it hard, it is really a crane-haired childish face. Duan Shuai was stunned and asked, "Your Excellency is Elder Ju?" The old man pursed his lips and smiled: "That's right, I'm surnamed Ju, but don't call me Elder, I'm only seventy-two years old this year." ”

Seventy-two years old, seventy years of life, he is seventy-two years old, but he does not admit that he is an elder, it seems that he is very confident in his appearance and temperament, even if he is old, he does not accept old age. Seeing Duan Shuai's blank face, Elder Ju said with a smile: "Coming all the way, you must have a lot of expressions like this." Which of my elder friends is normal? Little brother, don't compare your big brother Ju with them! ”

Duan Shuai was a little unconvinced and said: "Not really, Meng Xinlan, the master of the Red Sleeve Tianxiang Pavilion, is an extremely normal woman." Elder Ju suddenly looked at him with wide eyes and said, "You... Did you see her? Duan Shuai nodded, and Elder Ju suddenly grabbed Duan Shuai's shirt and said, "What? Did she really let you see her? Oh my God, tell me, is she a lot prettier now? ”

Duan Shuai looked at him with some disgust and hesitated: "She is naturally very beautiful. Why, sir, have you seen her too? Elder Ju stroked his beard and sighed, "Hey, that was five or six years ago, but she didn't know I had seen her." She is so precious that she never lets men see her face. I just met her through the veil. So far... After he said this, he was still savoring something in his mouth, which made Duan Shuai very disgusted.

How can someone of such an age still be so? Duan Shuai looked at him with disdain, he seemed to see Duan Shuai's doubts, and said with a smile: "Everyone has a love for beauty, let alone such a beautiful girl?" I'm not too old, brother, right? Duan Shuai nodded pretending and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Elder Ju was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he had just picked up the flowers, and said with a smile: "I was listening to the flowers!" "Oh? Flowers can also talk? Duan Shuai said with a smile. Elder Ju said with some anger: "Flowers are also life, why can't you speak, let me tell you, what flowers say is more real than what anyone says, and they will never deceive me." It's people who deceive me. ”

Duan Shuai only thought he was talking nonsense, and pretended to be curious: "What did the flower tell you?" "The flower said... It's your business! Elder Ju smiled. Duan Shuai suddenly had an itch on his neck, he didn't notice anything, he thought to himself, this is really an old naughty boy, but he said: "Okay, you are old, just continue to talk to the flowers here, I'll leave!" ”

When he said this, he didn't realize that Elder Ju had disappeared from his eyes a moment ago, as if the world had evaporated, Duan Shuai turned around and looked around carefully, only to realize that he was already in a sea of flowers, but there was no one else around. The sea of flowers was boundless, and even Elder Fang Caiju's small room was gone.

Duan Shuai wanted to know where he had come in, so he had gone out from there, and called out several messengers, but no one came to answer him. He had no choice but to follow the path in front of him, but no matter how he went, he couldn't get out of this sea of flowers. He made many marks along the way, but none of them could not be found again at the next intersection.

Did this boundless sea of flowers trap him like this? The faceless wine and food didn't trap him, the beautiful Xiangcha of Mengxinlan didn't trap him, and even Elder Zhu's dreamlike shadow still didn't trap him, could it be that this sea of flowers would trap him? He was exhausted at this time, and the only thing he could do at this time was not to run around, but to calm down and think of a way out.

He no longer scurried around, but sat quietly in the sea of flowers, carefully observing the changes around him. After a while, he found that these flowers were not static, but quietly changing their orientation, dozens of plants were constantly moving as a phalanx, because the speed of change was very slow, and each flower grew almost the same, so if you were constantly running, it would be impossible to notice these changes.

Fortunately, Duan Shuai is calm, he has such a characteristic, no matter how dangerous the environment, he can always remind himself to calm down, often many things are cut and sorted out and messy, so he needs a calm heart to look at the problem. He didn't understand the direction of the Five Elements Bagua, but he had studied the military book and knew how to arrange the troops. The two are actually the same, but they are called differently.

Duan Shuai grabbed a chrysanthemum and uprooted it, and when he saw more than a dozen flowers moving together, he trapped them together, and after being trapped like this for more than twenty times, the trend of these flowers was clear at a glance. He jumped over the flowers that stood in front of him, and instead of following their trend, he came to Elder Ju's hut again with a cup of tea.

At this time, Elder Ju was lying leisurely in front of the room and falling asleep, not expecting Duan Shuai to come out in such a short time, Duan Shuai tiptoed into Elder Ju's ear and shouted, "Elder Ju!" I'm coming! Elder Ju was so frightened that he jumped three feet high, and he ran out more than a dozen steps away before he had time to put on his pants. It wasn't until he heard Duan Shuai smirking behind him that he reacted, it was just his prank. He looked at Duan Shuai with a smile and said, "Have you ever studied the Book of Changes?" Duan Shuai shook his head.

Elder Ju said with a worried face, "Then how did you get out of my sea of flowers?" Duan Shuai smiled: "You come here, I'll tell you." Elder Ju hesitated for a moment, but still leaned over. Duan Shuai said softly: "I, after listening to the words of the flowers, I followed their guidance and came out!" Elder Ju glanced at him suspiciously: "You can also understand what the flower is saying?" Duan Shuai smiled: "That's nature, aren't they all life!" ”

Elder Ju said vigilantly, "Then what did they say?" Duan Shuai said softly: "They said... Then he turned his voice up to the maximum and shouted, "It's your business!" After saying this, he was about to leave the chrysanthemum garden. Elder Ju jumped back two steps sharply, and only then did he realize that he had been tricked by this kid.
