Chapter 217
With a long sigh, they shouted at the cautious cultivators around them, "This young man has recognized the wrong person, don't find the wrong person when you want to do it, just stab at our brother." ”
The three of them closed their eyes just now and didn't see Zhang Zhao fall out of thin air, but these cultivators were in a nervous mood: "Shaoxia, we are looking for revenge from the Lan family brothers, please make it convenient." ”
"Revenge, revenge for us?" Second Master Lan couldn't help but sneer: "It's really a shame for our brothers, if we can kill you and other elders in the family, you guys who don't make it dare to chase and kill all the way?"
"Speaking of which, your dead relatives are still buried by our brothers, don't dare to go to Tu Ye to take a few of us out of anger, our brothers admit it, but don't put gold on your face and say anything about revenge, I will be ashamed of you. ”
Zhang Zhao looked around and found that none of these cultivators were in the Yin and Yang realm. He arched his hand at everyone: "Brothers, your sect master is injured in the hands of Tu Feng, how can you embarrass a few Lan masters?"
"As everyone knows, slaughtering and enshrined the high hanging jade plaque to challenge the five Xuan cultivators, regardless of casualties, it is a fair battle. Of course, it is understandable for you to avenge your loved ones, but it is inevitable that people will laugh at it in such a way. ”
The surrounding cultivators relied on the strength of the crowd and refused to retreat: "Shoulder to shoulder, cut them all down." Seeing that none of them dared to approach first, Zhang Zhao smiled and pointed upward: "Should you take a look at that before you start?"
When everyone heard this, they looked up, and then they realized that a huge demon beast that was slowly flapping its wings was hanging above their heads at some point, and saw that it suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and it seemed that there was a flash of fire about to erupt, and they immediately screamed and fled in all directions, and even threw the sword in their hands to the ground.
Listening to Zhang Zhao talk about his acquaintance with Lan Si, the Lan family brothers laughed loudly: "It turned out to be you, the fourth child learned your barbecue, and Tu Ye was very satisfied." But he won't tell us the trick, and you'll have to teach us this time. ”
A few decades ago, Xiaozhu Mountain was an extremely ordinary earth mountain on Wuxuan. Ever since a cultivator had settled on it, no one in Wuxuan had set foot here easily, and that cultivator was Tu Yi.
In the first ten years, people talked about who Tu Yi would die at, and after ten years, their topic became who died under Tu Yi's sword, and in the last ten years, everyone only occasionally speculated about who would go up the mountain to challenge him.
The Lan family brothers hadn't counted how many cultivators Tu Yi had killed who had come to challenge, but they remembered it very clearly in the past few years, because no one had come up again except them.
Zhang Zhao looked at the low hills with large red bamboo forests growing in front of him, and he really felt unremarkable, but when he stepped on the mountain road that countless cultivators had walked for the last time in this life, he felt a sense of awe in his heart.
A cultivator in an old gray and white robe sat cross-legged in the jumble of bamboos, and from a distance he seemed to have his head bowed, and when Zhang Zhao approached, he realized that he was actually staring at the long sword that lay flat on his lap.
"Tu Ye, we are back, and we have some trouble on the way, thanks to the help of this little brother. He had some friendship with the fourth brother, so he brought him over to meet. ”
Tu Yi's face is as clear as a knife, his long black hair hangs straight down on his head, and the whole person looks spotless, and his appearance is completely inconsistent with his actual age.
After Lan Er finished speaking, Tu Yi didn't even raise his eyelids and nodded slightly. The Lan family brothers had long been accustomed to his indifferent attitude, and they were about to turn around and leave after giving a salute.
Zhang Zhao had been looking at the rumored killing god, sensing his eager gaze, Tu Yishu slowly raised his head to look at him, and in an instant Zhang Zhao felt that his eyes lit up, as if he saw a sharp sword being pulled out of the sheath, and the sides of his legs were buzzing at the same time.
When Lu Ba mentioned Tu Yi in the past, he faintly regarded him as the only sword cultivator in the world who could match Hou Zhaotian. But in Zhang Zhao's eyes, the momentum of the two is completely different.
Hou Zhaotian gave him the feeling that it was vast and majestic, and no matter how far he had cultivated, he had to look up to see it. When he saw Tu Yi, Zhang Zhao felt that he seemed to be lifeless, and he was an invincible peerless sword in itself.
Glancing at Zhang Zhao casually, Tu Yishu refocused his gaze on the long sword on his lap, seeing that he was so focused, Zhang Zhao seemed to have experienced from him the artistic conception of his soul when he penetrated into the demon beast inner pill.
Seeing Zhang Zhao staring at Tu Yiqi motionless, Lan Er reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Little brother, let's go, aren't you going to see the fourth brother?"
Bowing slightly in the direction of Tu Yi, Zhang Zhao followed the Lan family brothers around to the other side of the bamboo forest. There are a few bamboo huts in a flat area in the mountains, and a large area of land has been reclaimed in the distance. An old man in a blue robe squatted in front of a puddle of spring water to wash vegetables, while another paced back and forth around two stoves with curling smoke.
"Fourth, we all know the method of barbecue this time, and it will be your turn to pluck and peel the skin in the future. Hearing Lan Er's words, the old man next to the stove waved his hand and shook his head disdainfully: "No matter how many times you try, it's not the same in the end?"
"This time it's different, we've found the right master. Lan Wu shouted triumphantly: "Add salt and knead it well, put less spices, flip both sides frequently, and it is best to apply a layer of raw oil." Fourth brother, isn't it?"
Lan Si's eyes widened and he rushed over in a few steps: "Who did you learn from? You even know how to apply oil? It's impossible." Seeing that he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, Lan Er and the others laughed and leaned back together, Zhang Zhao hurriedly stepped forward: "Zhang Zhao has seen Lan Siye." ”
"Who is this?" Lan Si suddenly realized when he saw the expressions of several brothers: "They all learned from you, how did you know this method of barbecue, who taught you?"
Zhang Zhao's appearance was very different from seven or eight years ago, and he bowed deeply to Lan Si, who had a few more strands of gray hair on his sideburns: "Fourth master, you really don't remember me?"
After thinking about it, Lan Si looked at Zhang Zhao more and more familiarly, and stepped forward and grabbed him: "It turns out that you are really a kid, hey, you have grown so tall, what is the matter with you coming to me?
"Thanks to the generous gift of Fourth Master Lan, my father's health is very good now. Lan Siyi laughed when he heard it: "Okay, that's good." It's a pity that you didn't ask me first, without your barbecue trick, the fourth master won't be lazy in the future. ”
The brothers first brought food to Tu Yishu, and when they came back, they set up a bamboo table outside the house, put bamboo cups, bowls and chopsticks, and took a long bamboo tube to take some spring water and fill it for each person.
"You saved the brothers of the fourth master, and you can be regarded as the only guest of Xiaozhushan in the past few decades, but unfortunately there is no wine on the mountain, otherwise we must have a few drinks. Lan Si raised the bamboo cup in his hand and touched Zhang Zhao heavily: "Replace wine with water, don't be surprised, little brother." ”
Zhang Zhao drank all the clear spring in the cup, took a piece of straw mushroom from the table and put it in his mouth: "Fourth master is polite, in fact, Zhang Zhao should have come to visit him a long time ago, I am really ashamed to delay it for so long." ”
Hearing that he was alone to intimidate dozens of cultivators, and then saw the fierce and fierce scorpion dragon beast next to him, Lan Si of course saw that Zhang Zhao was no longer what it used to be: "I haven't been to the Xuanmu Domain since I said goodbye back then, just a few years, how can the little brother's cultivation be diligent?"
Zhang Zhao briefly talked about the various encounters after he worshiped Lingxiao, and the Lan brothers were all embarrassed. But Zhang Zhao felt that although Lan Si was still in good spirits, the lives of their brothers seemed to be very hard, and they did not have the momentum of spending thousands of dollars back then.
"Fourth Master, Zhang Zhao responded to you in Aoki City in the past, and the City Lord Jiang was also very respectful to you. How can even such a rabble dare to provoke you now?"
Lan Si smiled open-mindedly: "At this time and that time, in those years, our brothers relied on the reputation of the blue sky outside the sky and Tu Ye to be infinitely beautiful, but the feng shui took turns, and the blue sky outside the sky gradually declined over the years, I don't know if they are afraid of Tu Ye, or they don't look down on the jade card anymore, anyway, our brothers haven't carried the dead for a few years." ”
"Three years ago, our brothers were all empty, and only then did they realize that the blue sky outside the sky had not sent immortal crystals for a long time. Tu Ye didn't let us ask for his money, and the days on the mountain became tense. ”
Lan Er next to him laughed a few times: "Our brothers don't have much ability, and they don't know how to do business when they cultivate for a while, so they have to grow vegetables and grain in the mountains after the money in their hands is spent, and they make some bamboo chickens to survive." This time I wanted to ask for some fairy crystals that I had lent out before, but when I came back, I ran into those indiscriminate guys. ”
"Listening to them, Tianwai Qingtian is now too busy to take care of itself, and almost all the merchants of the Five Xuanmen Sect no longer pay immortal crystals. Although no one has dared to come to Xiaozhushan so far, our brothers have no status outside. ”
Lan Si poured a glass of water and raised it: "Little brother don't worry, our brother has enjoyed decades of happiness under the sword of Tu Ye, and now he has a good life with food and drink, I am very happy if you can come, let's have another drink." ”
They listened to Zhang Zhao talk about the scenery on the sea and praised it repeatedly, and they were also dumbfounded when they talked about the battle when the beast tide in Aoki City attacked, and they chatted until late at night, and the brothers of the Lan family were still interested.
"Little brother, we haven't seen many outsiders in the past few years, but you're tired. Early the next morning, Lan Si and a few brothers were about to send Zhang Zhao away: "There is nothing good here, I won't keep you, when you have to come and see me when you are free, tell us about the things outside." ”
Zhang Zhao said a few polite words, and reached out to take out a silk bag from his arms: "Fourth Master Lan, I was helped by you back then, Zhang Zhao has nothing to repay, these immortal crystals please stay." Lan Si didn't hesitate and stretched out his hand to take it: "Okay, you kid is doing well now, so I won't be polite to you." ”
Holding the silk bag and checking it, Lan Si felt that it didn't feel right in his hand, and when he opened it, his eyes bulged out: "Ah...... So many of the best fairy crystals...... Wait, don't go, I can't ask for this. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Zhao, who was about to step on the scorpion dragon beast: "Little brother, it won't work, this ...... , which is also too much. ”
There are nearly 100 top-grade immortal crystals in the silk bag, which is dozens of times more than the sum of Tu Yi's money over the years. The Lan brothers resigned again and again, and no matter how Zhang Zhao explained, he refused to accept it.
"It's really not good, it's reasonable to take your ten or eight medium-grade immortal crystals as a personal favor, it's really inappropriate to have so many immortal crystals, we are also Tu Ye's servants, how can we accept these things behind his back." ”
They argued for a while, and Zhang Zhao had no choice but to propose a solution: "Okay, okay, Fourth Master Lan, then let's go and talk to Senior Tu, these immortal crystals are all for me to repay your kindness to save your father, see what he says." ”
When he came to Tu Yi, Lan Si first told him and Zhang Zhao in detail, and then presented the bag of immortal crystals to Tu Yi, and then stood aside and waited for him to fall.
Seeing nearly 100 top-grade immortal crystals, the expression on Tu Yi's face did not change in the slightest, this time his gaze stayed on Zhang Zhao for a moment longer, and then said clearly word by word: "Since your brother lives in Xiaozhushan, he has always been free to stay and go, and he has never been my servant, you can make your own decisions about everything." ”
"Since he sincerely repays the favor, and it is not difficult to take out these immortal crystals, why don't you accept this kindness?" Tu Yishu said and lowered his head to the sword: "This is my idea, as for what to do, you have to decide for yourself." ”
His unique way of doing things The Lan family brothers knew very well, although Lan Si felt that Zhang Zhao had given too many immortal crystals, but in the current embarrassing situation, it was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, and finally accepted it happily when he heard Tu Yi's words.
Zhang Zhao was about to say goodbye and leave, when there was a sound of broken footsteps on the mountain road ahead. Four maids with green scarves and heads walked quickly to both sides of the sub-station, and a woman in yellow clothes with a graceful head and a light veil walked by, walking past Zhang Zhao and the Lan brothers without squinting.
After uncovering the tulle, the woman in the yellow dress revealed a beautiful face that could be broken, and bent her knees at Tu Yiying: "The void family is like a cloud, please meet Tu to worship." ”
Tu Yi, who had been unfazed by the "virtual family ......", raised his head and saw that the appearance of the woman in yellow clothes changed slightly: "You are Wuyue...... Junior?"
Xu Ruoyun is only in his twenties, his long hair is neatly combed and hangs down from the back of his head, his skin is like mutton fat, revealing a jade luster, his eyebrows are bent, his eyes are fine, his nose and cherry lips are fine, his demeanor is elegant without the slightest fireworks, and he is still quiet and calm when he stands on top of the dead leaves and rotten bamboo.
She saw all the surprises in Tu Yi's eyes, and her face couldn't help but be a little proud, but she still maintained a calm tone and bowed slightly: "Back to Tu to worship, Aunt Wuyue is the elder sister of the family, but it's a pity that Ruoyun was born too late, and she couldn't see her aunt in this life." ”
Tu Yishu looked at the void clouds, and his face slowly returned to the initial coldness: "Void girl doesn't need to be polite, I don't know what to do here." ”
"I heard that Tu worshiped Aunt Wuyue in the past, and after entering the blue sky, he lived here for decades regardless of fame and fortune, and this kind of feeling really made Ruoyun admire. ”
"Aunt Wuyue failed to marry Tu Xian, and you have not forgotten your old feelings and are still alone. Although there are a few Lan Ye serving, life is still a little lonely. Therefore, Ruoyun has asked for the promise of his father, hoping to accompany Tu to serve tea and laundry on the left and right from now on, and also hope that Tu will worship and pity. ”
Everyone could understand her words, and she dared to take the initiative to serve Tu Yiqi with such a fairy-like beauty. Of course, the Lan family brothers didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and they couldn't help but grin and be happy for Tu Yi.
