Chapter 47: The Wind Rises

After the last rays of the sun disappeared from the earth, Lou Luan and Xie Zhao finally arrived at Tiger Roaring Village. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this Zhuangzi, which was built hundreds of years ago in the middle of the mountainside and hidden in the dense forest, finally revealed its atmospheric and quaint gate after approaching. A sense of heaviness of history came to my face.

The little guy who was standing at the door looked at the young Taoist priest and the woman in red who were walking towards him, with a respectful look on his face.

"Please show me the invitation."

Xie Zhao turned his head to look at Lou Luan, his eyes full of inquiry. "Do you have an invitation?"

The indifferent man just slowly handed the gilded invitation in his hand to the little guy guarding the door. After receiving the invitation, the little servant bowed again to the two people in front of him.

"Please come with me."

Walking into Tiger Roaring Village, the most buildings in the village are tigers with various expressions, large or small, lifelike. Looking around at everything in the village, Xie Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

"It's really amazing, it deserves to be Tiger Roaring Village."

Listening to Xie Zhao's praise, the little guy smiled slightly. "Thank you, guest, for your praise."

Xie Zhao smiled at the humble words of the little guy, and stopped talking. Soon, under the leadership of the little maid, the two of them came to the side hall responsible for receiving guests.

"Please wait, the master will be here soon." With that, the little servant exited the side hall, and seemed to return to the door to continue to guard the door and wait for the next visitor.

Xie Zhao looked at everything in the side hall and found nothing, and then she sat on a chair in the side hall and closed her eyes. This is two quarters of an hour to sit.

Two quarters of an hour later, Xiao Ziyi, the owner of Tiger Roaring Village, arrived. With a smirk on his face, he looked at the two men sitting in the side hall.

。 "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xiao Ziyi, the owner of Xiahu Roaring Village, is busy with affairs in the village, and there are many neglects, please forgive me." Although he said sorry, he didn't see that he was apologetic.

"It's okay, we're just here on orders. If the owner is busy with affairs, he will send someone to entertain him. Lou Luan's attitude was detached, but Xiao Ziyi's face was still as usual.

"This is not the hospitality of Tiger Roaring Village, it is already evening at this time, why don't we move to the dining room to eat together."

Raising his eyes and glancing at Xiao Ziyi, Lou Luan bowed his head slightly.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

"I haven't asked the names of the two knights yet."

"Lou Luan."

"Xie Zhao."

"Lou Xiashi, Xie Nuxia, please." Stretching out his hand, Xiao Ziyi motioned for the two of them to follow him to the dining room. Walking on the long corridor, Xiao Ziyi introduced the scenery to the two of them. Xie Zhao looked at Xiao Ziyi silently, faintly feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

After a while, I could already faintly smell the aroma of food and the sound of people talking.

Seeing that doubts flashed in Lou Luan's eyes, Xiao Ziyi hurriedly explained. "There are also some guests in the dining room who have come from afar like two knights."

I see.

As he spoke, he walked into the dining room. This is a very spacious room, and there are more than a dozen Jianghu people with weapons sitting in the room. They either sit quietly in the corner and listen to the conversation of the people around them, or they talk about anecdotes in twos and threes. After seeing Xiao Ziyi walking in with someone, they all bowed their hands.

"Master Xiao."

Facing many people in the rivers and lakes, Xiao Ziyi introduced the two people behind him to the people present. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Lou Shaoxia, a woman of reconciliation."

Then he began to introduce the Jianghu people present to Lou Luan and Xie Zhao in turn. "The one on the far left is the Mu Dao man known as the Dead Wood Blossom, and next to him is his junior brother, Li Sanye, who is known as the Sword Saint in the Jianghu."

The wooden man bowed lightly to the two people.

Li Sanye looked at Lou Luan, and he narrowed his eyes. There was a look of arrogance on his face. "You use a sword."

"Exactly." Lou Luan's words made Li Sanye's eyes light up.

"Fight me."

"I can't ask for it."

"If the two of you make an appointment, you can wait until tomorrow, it's getting late today." Xiao Ziyi looked at Lou Luan and Li Sanye beside him, and hurriedly spoke to stop the conversation between the two. Smiling, he continued to introduce the Jianghu people present.

"Sitting next to the Sword Master is the leader of the Sea Sand Gang, Fourth Master Hai, and next to Fourth Master Hai is his wife Fang. Then came the deputy leader of the Sea Sand Gang, Lin Yuan. Next to Deputy Gang Leader Lin was Second Master Hou from Kunwu. ”

"Heroes are teenagers." Hou Sanye looked at Lou Luan and Xie Zhao, and couldn't help but laugh at a young age.

Lou Luan didn't answer.

Xiao Ziyi looked at the stagnant atmosphere in the air, and he spoke again.

Sitting on the right are Yao Lin and his sister Yao Huang from the Yao family in Jingnan. Next to it are the Star Spirits and Moon Spirits from the Star Hall. ”

"Are you...... Do you cherish the dynasty? Yao Lin looked at Lou Luan and frowned at first, as if thinking about something, and then suddenly showed a sudden look in the back.

"Brother Yao Lin, I haven't seen you for many years." Lou Luan bowed his head and admitted that he was Lou Xichao.

"Since Lou Shaoxia and Brother Yao know each other, let's sit here, I guess I'm tired from running all the way." Xiao Ziyi looked at Yao Lin's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and made a gesture of invitation to Lou Luan.

Not long after Lou Luan and Xie Zhao sat down, there was a happy conversation in the dining room.

"Cherish the dynasty, the Lou clan in Jingnan is not ......" Yao Lin looked at his friend when he was a teenager beside him, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"It's a long story, there are many inconveniences here, so why don't I tell Brother Yao Lin about it after dinner. And I've changed my name to Lou Luan now. ”

"It's my brother who is abrupt." Yao Lin patted his head and smiled apologetically.

Yao Huang looked at Xie Zhao, who was sitting next to Lou Luan, with an unhappy expression on his face. I haven't seen Brother Chao for 20 years, and I already have a confidante next to him, have you forgotten the marriage contract with her. Sensing the hostility in Yao Huang's eyes, Xie Zhao just smiled at Yao Huang, and then focused on fighting with food.

Yao Huang looked at Xie Zhao and no longer looked at her, revealing a puffing expression behind her. Under the table, he stomped on the brother next to him. Yao Lin felt a pain in his feet during the conversation, turned his head to look at his sister, and saw Yao Huang winking at her.

"I see." After comforting his sister, Yao Huang turned his head to look at Lou Luan. "Luan, what do you think of my sister?"

Lou Luan looked at Yao Huang for a moment and slowly spoke. "Brother Yao Lin's sister is naturally good."

"Then do you still remember the marriage contract between the Lou family and the Yao family." Yao Lin couldn't see anything on Lou Luan's face, so he asked with some hesitation.

"Remember, it's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill the marriage contract with the Yao family."

"Why, because of this girl next to you?" Yao Lin looked at the red-clothed, the dazzling Xie Zhao thought about his sister who was pampered at home next to him, and sighed in his heart, but he still asked stubbornly.

"It's not because of her." Lou Luan's hand under the table clenched into a fist as he said this, as if he was dissatisfied with Yao Lin treating him and the red-clothed demon clan beside him as lovers. After calming down, Lou Luan's voice was flat. "Brother Yao Lin, I have already become a monk, how can I marry a wife."

Yao Huang originally heard Lou Luan say that she was good, and couldn't help but feel proud in her heart, but she didn't expect Lou Luan to say that she couldn't marry her. Because he has entered the Tao.

"What a way to enter the Tao." Yao Huang couldn't help but raise his voice and ask, attracting the attention of the next table. Sensing the gaze looking at her, Yao Huang glared back fiercely. There was a look of displeasure on his face.

"Luan, my sister is just a little spoiled, don't mind." Yao Huang was a little at a loss, and hurriedly explained.

Lou Luan bowed his head slightly, his face was still expressionless, and he couldn't see his joy or anger. "Brother Yao Lin doesn't need to be so flustered." Yao Huang, who looked at Yao Lin beside him, looked at him aggressively, as if he wouldn't give up if he didn't give an answer.

"Don't you see that Xiao, Lou Luan, he is wearing a robe." Xie Zhao spoke, and her voice faintly entered the ears of Yao Lin and Yao Huang. Amber eyes were full of helplessness.

Yao Lin and Yao Huang brothers and sisters looked at Lou Luan carefully. I saw Lou Luan wearing a wide white robe, the dark lines on the robe could be faintly seen, and there were blue trims on the cuffs and neckline and moire embroidery of the same color. With a Taoist crown on his head, although he also has a sword hanging from his waist, his breath is cold, but if he looks closely, he can indeed see that Lou Luan is a Taoist.

"This ......" Yao Lin touched his chin and looked at Lou Luan with a tangled and struggling expression on his face. He frowned, trying to say something, but couldn't.

Yao Huang puffed out her cheeks, looking at the indifference on her face, her eyes were sour, and she got up and ran out of the dining room.

"Sister Huang." Yao Lin wanted to chase it out, but in the end he didn't chase it out. He sighed helplessly, and his face was dejected. "Makes you laugh."

Lou Luan was silent for a moment and spoke. "If you're worried, chase it out."

"No need." Yao Lin waved his hand, and then covered his face with his hand. There was a hint of helplessness in his tone. "She won't listen to me at this point, I'll come back to her later."

Yao Huang ran out of the dining room, and after running for a long time, she finally stopped. Although she was still a little hungry, she didn't want to stay at all. was rejected by Lou Luan's public, and she felt ashamed. Why did she ask her brother to ask Lou Luan about the marriage. But in the end, she brought it on herself. After sitting quietly for a long time, calming down, and wiping away his tears, Yao Huang stood up and looked around, only to find that there was an eerie silence all around. The moonlight hung in the sky, and the bleak light on the surrounding stone tigers carried an indescribable weirdness.

I guess it's just an illusion! I always feel that those lifelike stone tigers under the moonlight seem to come to life at any time.

Secretly gritted her teeth, pretending not to care on her face, rubbing her gurgling belly, Yao Huang planned to go back to the bedroom, and then find the maid in the village to take her to the kitchen to get some food.

Suddenly, she heard a slight noise, and jerked her head to look behind her, only to find nothing. With doubts on his face and the fear in his heart deepened, Yao Huang turned around and continued to rely on his memory to walk in the direction he had come.

Behind her, a lifelike stone tiger slowly moved.

And Yao Huang didn't notice this at all.
