Chapter 18: The Boy in White
The three-day appointment time came quickly, and Cheng Wulin entered the mirror after breakfast.
Unlike the bright sun on this side of the Nether, today the mirror world is overcast with a drizzle. It was the first time for Cheng Wulin to see the difference in the weather between the two sides, and he felt that it was very novel, and he hurried to Luotuan Valley under the light rain.
As soon as the small boat made of earth condensed flew over the towering wheel-shaped wall of the Luotuan Valley, Cheng Wulin encountered Tu Tingting floating in the air.
"You're early." Tu Tingting wore a dark black cloak and held a big red umbrella in her hand, which was completely different from her previous dressing style.
Cheng Wulin watched her land lightly on the boat: "How did you know I was coming?" ”
"I don't know." Tu Tingting smiled, "I'm waiting for others." Ah, here he comes. ”
Cheng Wulin followed her gaze and saw a long-haired man in a white shirt and holding a paper umbrella flying towards them in the drizzle and wind, and after a while, he came to the two of them.
It's like a jade boy who came out of the immortal cultivator, Cheng Wulin stared at the man and exclaimed.
As a result, in the next second, the man pounced on Cheng Wulin's body.
Cheng Wulin was stunned, grabbed the back of the man's clothes and wanted to push him away, and after a few seconds, he asked leisurely, "Who are you......"
"Have you forgotten me!" The man patted Cheng Wulin's back and let go with a smile, "My grandson Zhu!" ”
"Ah, luckily...... Wait! Who are you? "Cheng Wulin's brain is down. He took two steps back from the boat and took the other man from head to toe. Except for the vague familiar look on his face, Cheng Wulin couldn't connect the immortal man in front of him with the dirty and greasy person in his impression.
"Has it changed that much? It's such an exaggeration! Gongsun Zhu lifted his snow-white sleeves and shook them, revealing the white forearm skin under his clothes.
"It's not a big deal anymore...... Cheng Wulin said with a stammer, "Are you going for plastic surgery?" ”
"Facelift? What is that? Gongsun Zhu shook his head, "I don't understand the vocabulary of your future people. ”
"Okay......"
Gongsun Zhu was stared at by Cheng Wulin's brush-like eyes, and hurriedly turned to Tu Tingting on the other side: "I'm sorry, Tu City Lord, I'm still bothering you to wait for me here......"
"Nothing." Tu Tingting smiled generously, "It's the first time you've come to our Luotuan Valley, I'm sure I'm going to come to greet you." ”
"You're so kind!" Gongsun Zhu nodded again and again.
"You're the only one who doesn't know the road, since you arrived first, then let's go to my tower and sit for a while, and wait for others."
"Good!" Gongsun Zhu responded, turned around and smiled at Cheng Wulin.
Cheng Wulin glanced at the city lord tower not far away, and was just about to drive the boat in that direction, but saw Tu Tingting's fingers lightly on the side of the ship, and the small earth boat crackled for a while, and quickly reborn into a sharper shuttle shape, and the color also turned into white little by little, breaking through the air like a javelin, and carrying the three people above landed directly on the hollow platform in the middle of the city lord tower.
"It's so fast......," Cheng Wulin muttered, he had already arrived at his destination before he could react. This level of handling is far from comparable to that of a beginner like him.
"Come with me." Tu Tingting led the two to the old-fashioned elevator.
It was the first time for Gongsun Zhu to take this kind of elevator, and he touched it curiously: "Is this the means of transportation in your time?" ”
Cheng Wulin said with a smile: "This is not a means of transportation, is it...... It's kind of a ...... Labor-saving tools? ”
Gongsun Zhu was slightly surprised: "Brother Cheng knows what this is?" Are you a generation? ”
"We're classmates." Tu Tingting took off the hat of her robe and stroked her hair.
"Wow, that's really fate!" Gongsun Zhu was amazed, looking left and right in the narrow elevator like a child who had just entered the amusement park.
This time the elevator was different from the last time Cheng Wulin and they came, and it didn't stop for a long time. When Cheng Wulin was a little bored enough to yawn, the elevator shook and stopped.
"Here we are."
Tu Tingting stretched out her hand to let Cheng Wulin and the others walk out of the elevator door first. Outside the elevator is a circular room covered with fur carpets. The room was empty, but there were no light sources such as lamps, except for a few fireplaces that swirled in circles.
"This is my parlor, under the abyss, so it's dark." Tu Tingting stretched out her finger and pointed to the circular sunken sofa in the middle of the room, "Let's sit down first, there are three more people who will come later." ”
"Under the abyss...... Gongsun Zhu said admiringly, "This is the place where the people of the upper realm have come up, wouldn't the Tu City Lord feel uncomfortable living in this kind of place?" ”
"Get used to ......" Tu Tingting beckoned, and six steaming teacups rose in the middle of the circular sofa like a trick. She reached out and picked one up and took a small sip: "...... In this way, those people below don't dare to fight from this side easily, and I think I'm more stable this way. ”
"Yes," Gongsun Zhu also took a teacup, "but you live under the abyss, and it is very convenient to meet the people of the upper realm." But it's still a bit awkward to go out, right? I'm going to sit on the ...... Tool...... Long ......"
"No," Tu Tingting held the teacup in front of her stomach and stretched out her finger to her feet, "The two towers on the front and back of the Falling Turbulent Valley are marked in parallel, and from here, you can be either the bottom of the abyss or the top of the city." ”
"That's fine, that's fine." Gongsun Zhu nodded, his slender fingers playing with the teacup in his hand, "This tea is so delicious, it is obviously a viscous earthy color, but it has a unique and rich taste, I have never drunk such tea......"
"This is hot cocoa, not tea,......" Cheng Wulin took a cup and tasted it, reminding.
"Eh...... Gongsun Zhu's face was a little embarrassed, and he carefully put the cup back, "It seems that I usually know more about other eras......
"Well, it's all drunk, and it doesn't matter if it's called tea." Cheng Wulin knew that he had caused some trouble to Gongsun Zhu, so he hurriedly said. Gongsun Zhu is suddenly a different person now, and Cheng Wulin feels that the two of them are still a lot more apart than when they first met.
As if hearing what Cheng Wulin was thinking, Gongsun Zhu turned his eyes to him and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng just thought that I had changed a lot, right?" ”
Cheng Wulin nodded: "You are handsome now, I didn't recognize it at all when I first appeared, and I was still wondering why you ......"
Gongsun Zhu chuckled, leaned forward slightly, and his shoulder-length hair slid down the sides of his cheeks: "At that time, I was locked up in the birch banyan road by the city lord, and I couldn't even drink water, so I was naturally very sloppy......"
Speaking of Du Ling, Gongsun Zhu's face became a little bad, he looked at his cup lonely, and sighed lightly: "Lord City Lord, he has been in a slump since that battle, and he has been closed. Although he didn't punish me again, whether or not it was a chess piece that day, what I did was equivalent to quitting Jingcong Garden. ”
"Then you ...... these days"
"I live in Angkor, but it's not a long-term solution......," Gongsun Zhu raised his head, "Today I came to Luotuan Valley, in addition to forming a team to find Wang Luli, there is also ...... This will be my new home from now on. ”
