Chapter 226: Waves
I still believe that she will come back, so I have been waiting for her. β
"Is she back, then?"
The old-timer didn't answer Zhang Haotian immediately, and it seemed that he didn't know how to answer either!
Zhang Haotian and the old-timers chatted and walked together, and unconsciously paced to the bank of the Yunshui River.
"It turns out that the legend says that the Yunshui River and the green bamboo forest are so close!" Zhang Haotian thought.
"If she left from here, she's probably back, but I'm not sure, I'll just have to wait until she shows up in front of me. The old-timer picked up a stone and threw it into the lake, causing ripples in circles and circles......
"Ahh
This scream pulled Zhang Haotian back from his small trance, and he fixed his eyes. Seeing that Du Yunli was so frightened that he sat on the ground, Zhongli Tower Master and Shi Lao hurriedly went over to help. Although Duyunli was scared and cried, she was safe and sound.
Zhang Haotian looked at Zhang Lun suspiciously, Zhang Lun was obviously surprised by this result, and fixed there in surprise; Zhang Haotian looked at Zhang Lingmeng again, his sister's face was solemn.
The Killing Charm doesn't work!
"Captain Zhang!" Zhongli Tower Master said leisurely, "Do you still have any questions?"
None of the demon slayers of the Zhang family dared to speak out!
"You keep saying that someone reported it, I want to know who it is?" said the Zhongli Tower Master again.
None of the demon slayers of the Zhang family dared to speak out!
"Is it overdue?"
Zhang Jue came over and whispered to Zhang Haotian: "Zhong Liyu is the young master of Zhufang Tower!"
"Since it's a misunderstanding, then let's ......," Zhang Yi said with a hippie smile.
Zhang Yi's words made the scene a little embarrassing for a while, and the Zhang family was silent, as if none of them knew how to round the field below, they could only look at the face of Zhufang Tower. At this time, Zhongli Pagoda Master and Shi Lao didn't seem to intend to pay attention to the Zhang family's answer, they only cared about appeasing the emotions of Miss Du Yunli, who was only six years old.
"Yun'er, don't be afraid, we're playing a little trick, it's okay, good, don't cry......"
"I'm sorry, Lord Zhongli, I am really sorry that Miss Du Yunli was frightened. Zhang Lingmeng broke the silence on the Zhang family's side, and took a step forward and bent down to apologize, "I put forward the idea of a physical examination, and I also insisted on asking Uncle Zhang to do this, if you want to blame me, blame me for being reckless and embarrassing you, I'm really sorry." β
"Phewβ"
The scene erupted in boos, and Zhang Haotian realized that the audience was looking forward to watching this farce-this is obviously a farce that is much more exciting than the boring Taoist History Society! Zhang Haotian listened carefully, and the audience muttered in a mixed manner-
"Hey, this Zhang family demon slayer really doesn't know what to do. β
"Yes, yes, it's nonsense to make trouble on such a serious occasion. β
"Don't blame others, their families are powerful and powerful, and they are usually used to flying and domineering, and people say that if you have a demon in your family, you can refute it?"
"Maybe I'll be at your house tomorrow. β
"Then I have to get out of Duyunli quickly, I can't afford to mess with these uncles!"
Similar to Yunyun, the sarcasm is endless.
At this time, the owner of Zhongli Pagoda suddenly spoke, he didn't pay attention to Zhang Lingmeng's apology, but shouted to the audience: "Everyone, everything that happened just now is just a misunderstanding between the Zhang family's demon slayer and our Zhufang Pagoda, and I'm really sorry for causing some shame and interference to everyone......"
And in the audience: "Zhongli Tower Master, you are highly respected, what does this matter have to do with you, they should apologize!
"Yes, yes!"
The pressure of public opinion from the audience made Zhang Haotian's face swell, and it was the first time he saw the Zhang family having such a passive scene. And at this time, there was a sudden wave of uniform sound in the audience-
"Demon Slayer, get out!"
"Demon Slayer, get out!"
At this time, a demon slayer of the Zhang family hurriedly rushed over from the backyard, and he brought a shocking news to the Zhang family's side, and this news also saved Zhang Haotian from their embarrassing existence at the Dao History Meeting.
I saw that the demon slayer looked panicked and whispered on the Zhang family's side: "Captain, Miss, Queen...... Back ...... Found ......"
"What did you find?" said Zhang impatiently.
"Demon ...... Wives!"
"What?" Zhang Haotian and the others all showed a look of surprise.
"Zhongli Tower Master, the situation is urgent, we have to go to the backyard to have a look, and I will definitely give you an explanation next time. After speaking, Zhang Lingmeng and Zhang Lun hurried to the backyard with the Zhang family's demon exterminators without saying goodbye, I don't know if such an irresponsible move was because of the suddenness of the matter, or because it was just a reason to get out.
However, Zhang Haotian did not rush to let go of his legs, but slowly moved to Zhongli Tower's side with apologies. The Lord of Zhongli Tower was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhang Haotian, and then showed a kind smile: "Oh, Haotian, it turns out that you are also here." β
"Uh, yes...... That, uh, it turns out that you are the master of Zhongli Tower. Zhang Haotian was a little nervous.
"Why, isn't it like?"
"No, like, just a bit of an accident, and, uh......"
"Haotian, why are you still stunned, hurry up!" Zhang Jue shouted from afar.
Zhongli Tower Lord looked over there, then smiled and looked down at Zhang Haotian who was hanging his head, and said, "Okay, I can't blame you for what happened just now, you better follow your captain and them to see what happened." β
Zhang Haotian raised his head and looked at the Zhongli Tower Master, his eyes were bright and a little grateful, and he nodded. So, Zhang Haotian turned around and left. As he walked, he thought about the kind expression of the Lord of Zhongli Tower and the experience of being with him yesterday-
Another piece of flowing tile flew across the swaying center of the lake, and the ripples spread out layer by layer, alarming the dragonfly that was attached to Hanlian, and it had to hurriedly shake its light wings and disappear into the surging river mist. I was still thinking about who was willing to disturb the good marriage, but I didn't think that the figure of Dao Xin, one high and one low, appeared on the bank of the Yunshui River in the mist.
"Senior, I have a doubt, since you are looking forward to her coming back, why wait for her to come to you? Can't you go to her yourself?" The flowing tile just now was thrown out by Zhang Haotian, and he picked up new stones as he spoke.
"Poof!"
Another stone was thrown into the lake, but the sound was dull!
The Zhongli Tower Master paused, frowned and tilted his mouth slightly, a slightly embarrassed expression.
"If fate doesn't allow me to go to her, I can only wait for her to come to me, do you think it's ridiculous. β
Zhang Haotian stopped throwing stones, turned his face to look at the owner of Zhongli Tower, he felt incredible, so he blurted out a sentence - ridiculous!
The Zhongli Pagoda Lord seemed to have anticipated Zhang Haotian's answer, and he pointed to the river unhurriedly and said, "Look at the dragonfly just now, it was attached to the dragonfly and stopped on it. But the waves of your stone have alarmed it, and it feels threatened, so it will reluctantly leave its beloved Hanlian. And Hanlian can't let go of this Yunshui River Basin, after all, this is the hometown where it grew up. Therefore, Hanlian can't go with the dragonfly, but can only guard here, waiting for the dragonfly's next arrival. β
Zhang Haotian thought about it, understood, and said: "Hanlian is your predecessor, the dragonfly is the woman, this stone is fate, it is the waves it creates, so that she and you are separated, and you can't be unable to pursue it, it is the disaster of fate." Am I right?"
"Hahaha!" Zhongli Pagoda Lord looked up to the sky and laughed, waved his sleeves, turned his back on his hand, and said, "Sure enough, it's a clever guy, I'm not surprised that you can understand this, but I think you are not accurate in some places." β
"Oh, is it?" Zhang Haotian inadvertently threw another stone while thinking, "Stone, I'm throwing stones, stones are fate, stones, stones...... I'm throwing ......."
"Hah?" Zhang Haotian suddenly realized, "I know what I said wrong, senior, it's not the disaster of fate, it's my ......."
"Huh?" said the Zhongli Tower Master with a wry smile.
"Ah, bah, I mean I'm the one who threw the stones, and I made the stones make waves, so the trouble is not that the stones are not fate, but that the people who play with the stones and play with fate, and I'm right. β
The Zhongli Tower Lord smiled with satisfaction and did not answer Zhang Haotian, but it seemed that he agreed with Zhang Haotian's understanding.
"Then, according to you, am I a very poor person?"
"Well, the seniors are really pitiful, and it's a scourge. Zhang Haotian tilted his head, as if he suddenly remembered something, and sighed and said, "Hey, I don't think you are the most pitiful person senior." β
"Oh?
"Your misfortune is man-made, but my misfortune is indeed a man-made man!"
"What can you do at such a young age?"
"I'm not as talented as others, so my status in the family is far inferior to my sister, my sister is a genius, the future successor of the family, and I, just a mediocre talent, mixed in the prestige of the family, if it weren't for the grandson of the head of the family, no matter how hard I tried, I could only become a demon slayer captain in a remote place, like Uncle Zhang Lun. β
"Oh, listen to your tone, do you mean we're very bad in the clouds?" said the Zhongli Tower Master.
"Ah!" Zhang Haotian felt speechless at this time, and hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I mean that I can't reach a prominent position like the head of the family, not that Duyunli is bad, absolutely not." β
"Hehe, don't be nervous, I'm just kidding you. The tower master Zhongli continued, "It turns out that you are the grandson of the head of the Zhang family, it's very unexpected!"
However, Zhang Haotian didn't see how surprised Zhongli Tower's expression was, as if he had known it for a long time. However, the two of them have never met, and no matter how much the predecessors predicted what was like a god, they would not have known it a long time ago.
"Well, I've heard of your sister Zhang Lingmeng, it is said that she was the only one who broke through to the fourteenth floor at last year's Beast Spirit Tower Conference, and it is indeed the pride of the sky to be able to break into there at such an age. β
"Yes, my sister's talent is purple!" Zhang Haotian shook his head and sighed.
"It's purple, how can you use such a word, no matter what, it's your sister. Without thinking about it, the Zhongli Tower Master suddenly said, "Uh, by the way, the young master of the Zhang family, what's your name?"
It doesn't matter if you don't ask, Zhang Haotian's heart is half cold when he asks.
"Senior, it's too much! Isn't my identity as the young master of the Zhang family worthy of being remembered by people?"
"Oh, no, no, haha, I remembered it before, but I forgot it when I was old, look at my memory, blame me, blame me. The Lord of Zhongli Pagoda hurriedly laughed and prevaricated at this embarrassing question.
"You're not old enough to be forgetful. β
Zhang Haotian shrugged his shoulders, puffed up his cheeks, and then vented the anger in his cheeks, as if he wanted to open it: "Actually, I don't blame my predecessors, I can only blame me for not having zero dreams." Look, doesn't this mean that I am pitiful, obviously the grandson of the same head of the family, but the treatment is so poor, isn't it because of different talents and different creations?"
Zhang Haotian looked at the master of Zhongli Tower, and said: "Actually, you have calculated it before, you also know that the head of the Zhang family has a male grandson, do you know, I actually heard an elder of the lower eight families say in surprise before: 'Ah? It turns out that the head of the Zhang family has a little young master?' You say that I am pitiful or not. β
"Hehehe, you're such an interesting guy. "This little anecdote made the Zhongli Tower Master, who has always been serious, very happy.
"Oops!" But ridicule is ridicule, Zhang Haotian realized that it was not early at this time, and he came out late, afraid that Zhang Lun and Ling Meng would be worried, Zhang Haotian proposed to say goodbye, "It's not too early for seniors, I should go back, thank you again for your help, we'll see you next time." β
"Well, it's nice to talk to you about such an interesting topic, okay, be careful on the road. Zhongli Tower Lord said with a smile.
Zhang Haotian just wanted to leave, but suddenly turned around again: "Oh, by the way, senior, my name is Zhang Haotian!
"Well, I'll remember, Haotian!"
This is really a reckless fellow, and he didn't realize that he asked someone about the identity of the tower owner before saying goodbye, but now it seems that there is no need for this.
Zhang Haotian felt that he was still holding a stone in his hand when he ran, and felt that it was in the way, so he casually threw it into the Yunshui River-
"Poof!"
The sound is crisp......
