72. The harvest of gossip

"It's polite for the eldest girl to say this, the things in the ten miles and eight towns around here can't escape the ears of a few of our old sisters." The woman who began to find Yu Zhenzhen immediately patted her chest and assured Yu Zhenzhen, seeing that Yu Zhenzhen smiled humbly, she suddenly remembered something, and asked again without waiting for Yu Zhenzhen to speak, "But looking at the dress of the eldest girls, it should be the immortal cultivators on the mountain, right?" ”

"What the eldest lady said is exact, the three of us are the nineteenth generation disciples of the Breaking Sky Tower of the Carefree Sect on Mount Emei." Yu Zhenzhen arched her hand at the women, looking respectful. But before she could speak, several women actually initiated a discussion on their own that none of the three of them could interject.

"Oh, when it comes to the five major sects of cultivating immortals, naturally the Xiaoyao sect is the most authentic." Woman A's eyes widened immediately, but she didn't say this to Yu Zhenzhen, but to several other women, as if she knew the most.

"Isn't it, the history of the Xiaoyao faction can be traced back to hundreds of years ago, but the other four factions are all rising stars, and I heard that their heads are all disciples sent out by the Xiaoyao in the past." Woman B immediately picked up Woman A's words, fearing that others would think that her knowledge was not as profound as that of Woman A.

At this time, the woman who had been discussing in a whisper opened her mouth, her voice was thin, with a mysterious face, "That's not the case, I once heard my grandmother say when I was a child that a hundred years ago, there were only three factions on the land of Shenzhou, namely the Huaxi Palace in the northwest, the Red Refining Pavilion in the southeast and the Xiaoyao faction in the center. And now the heads of the four major sects in the east, west, south and north are all surviving disciples of the former Huaxi Palace and the Red Refining Pavilion, so their relationship with the Xiaoyao faction is very delicate. ”

"You are talking nonsense, the five major sects have a close relationship and are like brothers, how can you be so nervous as you say. You're just spreading rumors, and what your grandmother said. Hasn't your grandmother been dead for years? Woman B didn't let it, so she frowned and glared at Woman C, and vowed not to give up until she won or lost.

"My grandmother died, but I told you that I heard this when I was a child!" The woman argued with reason.

"Oops. Things to do when I was a kid. How can you remember it so clearly. "Woman A and Woman B were clearly accomplices, and immediately united front to bombard Woman C.

Seeing that several women were about to quarrel, it was difficult for Yu Zhenzhen to interfere with anything. Just when he was a little hesitant and embarrassed, Yu Sanwen strode forward, stood directly between several women, pinched his waist and glared and said, "Don't quarrel with you, we have a big deal to do when we go down the mountain this time, if you don't cooperate well, as soon as we leave, you can only wait to die!" Now ask. You answer the question, save the extra words for later! ”

"Sanwen ......" Yu Zhenzhen felt a little embarrassed when she boarded, and Yu Sanwen's words, some of which were not said, were afraid that they would scare a few women.

"Limbo, come here!" Yu Sanwen was afraid that the momentum was not enough. Still beckoning to Ling Bo, Ling Bo immediately ran over obediently, but seeing Yu Sanwen whispering a few words to Ling Bo, Ling Bo immediately conjured up an ice sword with both hands, and then made the ice sword shatter in response to the magic. The ground was covered with crushed ice the size of a fingernail. They are just women in the mountains, when they have seen such a formation, their faces are pale, and no one has the heart to quarrel and compare anymore.

These two are too nonsense. Yu Zhenzhen couldn't, so she had to take a step forward and arch her hand to a few women, "I'm sorry, I'm really in a hurry, so the little junior sister will lose her sense of proportion like this, and I hope you don't mind." ”

Several women glanced at each other, and finally, it was the woman A who said tremblingly, "If the girl wants to ask anything, just ask, we will never say a word." ”

"Thank you." When Yu Zhenzhen arched her hand again, she looked at Yu Sanwen, but saw Yu Sanwen wink at herself. She thought about it, maybe sometimes it is not enough to be polite to solve problems, Yu Sanwen didn't do anything wrong, and he didn't hurt nature. Thinking of this, Yu Zhenzhen's mood opened up in an instant, and she spoke again, "Are the eldest ladies from the villages and towns around here?" ”

"Hmm." Several of the women bowed their heads in unison, and none of them said a word.

"So what's been going on lately? I mean......" Yu Zhenzhen thought about her words, and then added, "Or, in recent years, have there been any changes in the trees, flowers, mountains, lakes, rivers and seas near your villages and towns?" ”

If there are strange beasts, someone will definitely find out that there is a mutation, and Yu Zhenzhen is reporting such thoughts. But they didn't want to, several women shook their heads in the same tacit understanding, and no one talked.

Yu Sanwen shook his head at Yu Zhenzhen, it seems that the vicinity of here should be calm, in fact, they should have thought that if someone was missing or something strange happened here, how could so many people have the heart to rush to the market, and they would have stayed at home honestly and kowtowed to burn incense and worship the Buddha for peace.

Since there was no result, Yu Zhenzhen had to bow her hands to several women, ready to leave. But just as the three of them turned their heads and walked a few steps, the woman Ding suddenly said, "Big girl, slow down, if you talk about changes, there is a swamp more than ten miles away from our Yi Village, which seems to be different from before. ”

The three of them immediately stopped, then turned around and turned back, returning to their original places with a slightly excited face, but they were so frightened that several women took a step back. Ignoring these details, Yu Zhenzhen opened her mouth and asked again, "Auntie, tell me, what is different about the swamp?" ”

"It's probably been more than ten years," said the woman, who glanced at Ling Bo sensitively, then swallowed her saliva and said, "That's right, our family is in the herb business, and some herbs grow next to the swamp, so my husband often goes to the swamp to pick herbs. But about ten years ago, one day, when my husband came back from the swamp, there were signs of poisoning, and my father prescribed a few pairs of medicines, and let my husband drink it for half a year, and he gradually got better. Later, I heard my husband tell me that the swamp seemed to have become more foggy overnight, and that most of the trees that used to be full of life had withered, and that there were many more strange flowers, and that they were blooming very beautifully......"

"What, more than ten years ago, it was counted, and more than ten years ago, my old hen laid double yolk eggs, which is also a miracle?" Woman B seemed to particularly dislike that others knew more than her, and before Woman Ding finished speaking, she had completely forgotten about Yu Sanwen's threat just now, and followed up.

"That's it, more than ten years ago, my son went out to chop wood and saw a ball of white singing songs, which is much stranger than your family." Woman A, who was on the same front as Woman B, also answered.

That's Mo. Yu Zhenzhen helplessly looked at the few people who were fighting again, and when she turned around, she saw that Yu Sanwen was about to step forward again, so she hurriedly grabbed her arm and whispered to her, "It's okay, let's go back and tell Senior Brother about this matter first, and when we walk to the next village and town, we will go and investigate this swamp by the way." ”

"This group of people, it's so good that the scar forgets the pain." Yu Sanwen pursed his lips and glared at the few women who were still discussing fiercely.

Yu Zhenzhen didn't bother the verbal war of several people anymore, and quietly left with Yu Sanwen and Ling Bo. finally left the crowd, but Ling Bo suddenly stopped leaving. When Yu Zhenzhen was wondering, she saw Ling Bo dragging the corner of Yu Sanwen's clothes, a pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed vigorously, licked her lips and said, "You promised me to buy baked cakes." ”

"Oh, yes, buy, buy, buy." Yu Sanwen patted his head, then turned to Yu Zhenzhen and said, "Zhenzhen, why don't we go buy some dry food first." ”

Seeing this, Yu Zhenzhen could only nod, and then went to Baoyuezhai with Ling Bo, who was happily baring his small teeth.

"Vera! Vera! ”

Ling Haojie no longer knew if he was about to smash the door of Yu Zhenzhen, Yu Sanwen and Ling Bo, and behind him, Ruan Jinyan, Lu Jin and Yuan Ziyan looked at each other helplessly, not knowing whether to step forward and persuade them.

"What's the fuss." At the same time that the tireless Fenghua Fei pushed the door out, Yuan Bo, Xiao Xiaochen, and Ye Lingyun also came out of their respective rooms, and stood in the corridor on the second floor of the inn, looking at Ling Haojie, who was like a headless fly, with a question mark on his head.

"Zhenzhen, is Zhenzhen back?" Ling Haojie saw Feng Huafei appear, and immediately ran forward to ask.

"How do I know that you didn't go together?" Fenghua glanced at Ling Haojie, and glanced at Yu Zhenzhen's door with her residual vision.

"We were originally in the silver shop, but then we got lost, Zhen Zhen, Sanwen and Ling Bo are all gone, and Ling Bo, Ling Bo!" Ling Haojie mentioned Ling Bo's name twice to Fenghuafei, and it was louder than louder.

"Second Senior Brother, what are you yelling at, Senior Brother is not deaf," Ye Lingyun didn't do it, and immediately stepped forward, looking at Ling Haojie with her chest held highβ€”she wouldn't be able to see it otherwiseβ€”and said, "Besides, Yu Zhenzhen and a few of them are not children, and it's not that they can't find their way, if they are separated from you, they will come back in a while, what's there to worry about." ”

"If you care, you will be chaotic, and Senior Brother Ling can be regarded as a person of temperament." Xiao Xiaochen always spoke with a bit of affection.

"What a man of temperament is but a simple-minded fool with underdeveloped limbs." Yuan Bo has always been at odds with Ling Haojie, and his words are bitter and mean.

Ling Haojie glared at Yuan Bo before he was about to open his mouth to fight back, but Feng Huafei's words had already picked up, "Is there anything to gain from this trip?" ”

"Naturally," listening to Ye Lingyun's words, Ling Haojie was also a little more at ease, and immediately turned around, pointing to the plain silver bracelets on the wrists of Ruan Jinyan, Lu Jin and Yuan Ziyan, and said proudly, "Senior brother, don't worry, I will never let my beloved junior sisters go home empty-handed." ”

Fenghua's face turned blue when she flew up, and Ruan Jinyan and the three of them were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, they just lowered their heads, like children who had done something wrong. Seeing this, Ling Haojie protected the three of them behind him, and when he was about to talk about his theory, Feng Huafei said coldly, "Don't pretend to be stupid for me there!" I told you to go out and investigate, but you went out and spent money? The amount of money distributed by the head to each squad is not much, and it is not enough to buy dry food to live in the store on the way back and forth, but you still have the heart to buy these useless things to coax the junior sister?! ”
