Chapter 40: You Say That Little Lady, She's a Snake Demon?
Boom~!
After some negotiations, the two sides probably exchanged some opinions and reached some tacit understanding on some things, finally, Li Bai, who didn't want to be too aggressive, had to be silent, and slowly put his three-foot long sword into the scabbard, finally ending the tense posture that had been tense from the beginning of the day and could fight at any time.
After all, he doesn't have any big grudges with the other party, and the other party is here to reconcile today, so if he doesn't suffer too much, he naturally has no need to continue the stalemate and confrontation.
“……”
So, after putting the sword back into its sheath, he looked at the other party again with puzzled eyes, wanting to see what the old man was trying to do.
"Good!"
Seeing that Li Bai put away his long sword, no longer the imminent battle posture just now, the West Lake Shuijun dressed as an old man finally smiled and jumped lightly from his own small boat to the shore of the lake.
"That is ......"
Then I don't know what magic power he used, but with a wave of his hand, a table and two chairs appeared out of thin air, and then he waved his hand again, and a pot of wine and two wine glasses also appeared on the table.
"If Xiaoyou doesn't mind, why don't we have two drinks here?"
"Since you and I have released our previous suspicions, plus today is the first snow in Hangzhou, on the edge of this West Lake, why don't we just drink it, or talk about it and appreciate the lake and snow color of the 'broken bridge and remnant snow like ink'?"
The old man stretched out his hand and motioned for Li Bai to sit on the other chair opposite him, and then drank and chatted with him here in order to promote understanding and enhance mutual friendship or something.
"Still not!"
"I still have some things to do today, so I don't have to drink, let's have a chance to drink again another day! If the old man has anything else, he can say it directly, Li Bai listens to it. ”
Li Bai shook his head and did not accept the other party's invitation.
He is not familiar with the other party, and he will not lack the heart to drink the things handed by strangers casually! Besides, he didn't like the West Lake water monarch in front of him.
Not for anything else, just because the other party is the water god here!
That is, now, and if it was when he first came to Hangzhou, if he was bumped into by him, and heard the words 'water god' or 'water king', he would have rushed up and swung his sword regardless of it, and where would he have been talking nonsense with the other party for so long like now?
"Oh? Won't you? ”
"That's it!"
"It seems that Li Langjun still has some mustard for the old man, but it's a pity, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink this kind of wine!"
Hearing that Li Bai actually refused and said something a little unkind, the thin old man was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head and smiled helplessly, sat down directly on one of the chairs, and then reached out and poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it himself.
“……”
Li Bai didn't speak, just looked at each other fixedly.
Although he is not a good drinker, what kind of good wine has he not drunk before? He has not touched the messy liquor and foreign liquor with sauce fragrance, clear fragrance, strong fragrance, rice fragrance, phoenix fragrance, and other flavors?
Therefore, the bad old man in front of him who took the initiative to talk to him wanted to use a pot of wine to envelop him, which was not even thought of! Moreover, who knows if the other party has poisoned the wine or glass, how can he just sit down casually?
Besides, he's very afraid of this kind of guy who can spell, and if he can, it's better to keep a little distance.
“……”
However, after staring at the other party and pouring himself a few drinks, Li Bai finally couldn't help it at first.
"The ......"
"Uncle! Li Bai has a sentence, I don't know if to ask? ”
"Huh?"
"All you have to do is ask, what's wrong?!"
"You ......"
"Are you really the water lord of West Lake?"
"Hah!"
"That's nature! If it is fake, can there be any fake? This is the West Lake, who eats the bear's heart leopard dares to pretend to be the water god of the West Lake here? ”
At this point, the poor old man sitting on the stool raised his chin proudly, as if he was very satisfied that he could govern such a large lake?
"But ......"
"I've heard people say that you should be a red Jiao who has been cultivating for nearly six hundred years, right? Can ...... now Why are you a human being? ”
To be honest, Li Bai had been mentally prepared before, and he was even thinking about how he would deal with and fight back if a huge dragon suddenly popped out of the West Lake one day and attacked him, but now, seeing this thin old man in front of him, the huge contrast between reality and imagination always made him feel a little weird.
"Huh?"
"What's all the fuss about?"
The old man frowned, and the eyes that looked at Li Bai began to become a little strange.
"Isn't that strange?"
"You are obviously a dragon, but now you do look like a person......"
"Humph!"
"Li Langjun, the little white snake that lives next door to your house can transform into a human appearance, why can't the old decay be a human appearance?"
“??”
"Little white snake who knows me?"
“!!”
"You...... You're talking about the little white lady, she's a snake spirit? ”
"Weird!"
"Li Langjun, you have lived next to her for so long, you don't know?"
"Well...... this"
"I really don't know!"
That's right, Li Bai only knew that the other party was a monster, and he didn't ask what kind of monster the other party was, and the other party didn't talk about it.
Even, he still doesn't know the other party's name, he only knows that the other party's surname is Bai, but he can't even be sure if the surname Bai is true, after all, the other party just said it so casually at that time, and he didn't take it too seriously.
"Humph!"
"Li Langjun, that snake spirit, she's not a good thing...... The old man advises you, if you can, it's better to stay away from her? ”
Speaking of which, the old man who was sitting on the chair drinking wine by himself couldn't help but squint his eyes when he looked at Li Bai, and his eyes suddenly flashed fiercely, and he didn't know whether it was aimed at Li Bai or the 'snake spirit' in his mouth.
“……”
Hearing what the other party said, Li Bai was noncommittal.
Because he noticed it, it seemed that there was any conflict between the West Lake Shuijun and the little white lady in front of him? He remembered that at the beginning, the little white lady had also said bad things about this West Lake Water Monarch in front of him, and asked him to be careful?
But well......
He doesn't care so much, whether it's the female goblin or the guy in front of him who claims to be the water lord of West Lake, he doesn't care if they are good or not, as long as these monsters don't bother or hinder him.
As the saying goes, those who are not of my race will have different hearts!
He Li Bai is a human race, but these guys are monsters, God knows what these monsters think, so it is always not wrong for him to be as careful as possible in the future, and at the same time try to keep a little distance from both and secretly guard against themselves.
"It's not too early."
"I don't know if Your Excellency came to find Li Bai today, is there anything else?"
Gradually, Li Bai became a little impatient, he didn't want to stand here and drink the northwest wind in this weather, and then watched the other party sit aside and drink the fragrant wine one by one.
"That's not ......"
"I don't know when Li Xiaolangjun will have leisure, I don't know if he can appreciate his face and go to the cave at the bottom of the old lake to talk about it?"
“!!”
Hearing the other party's words, Li Bai was suddenly shocked in his heart.
"Lake Bottom Cave Mansion?"
"Don't worry, I have something to go back now, let's talk about it another day when I'm free!"
Although Li Bai is very curious about the underwater cave, he will go to the cave at the bottom of the lake with the other party when he is crazy!
He is not a fish, nor does he have any ability to live underwater, if he really follows the other party to the bottom of the lake, then his own life will really be in the other party's hands to take what he wants.
"Another day?"
"Well, that's it, that's it!"
Nodding with some regret, seeing that Li Bai's vigilance was still very strong, the thin old man had no choice but to give up, not planning to be too reluctant.
"That is ......"
"Li Bai still has something to do at home, so I'll leave!"
On another day, Li Bai would not give a letter, anyway, he didn't want to have too much contact with the other party at all, and he was afraid that the other party would suddenly turn his face, or he would secretly use some spells that he couldn't deal with, so he hugged his fists again and waved slightly, as if he had made a salute, and then simply turned around with his sword and left.
In general, he gained a lot today, which was quite unexpected, not only did he see that West Lake Shuijun, basically he barely solved something that had been hanging in his heart, but also accidentally learned the true identity of a certain female goblin, as for other ...... For example, if the female goblin is a good thing, he is not in a hurry to find out, and can he save it for later?
