The heavy rain came suddenly, hitting the tiles, walls, and streets, splashing countless small jade beads, floating in the air, and becoming rain and mist.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of miles are boundless.

In a short period of time, there was no one on the originally lively and noisy street, and Zhao Chengyun saw that in the wind and rain, there was a faint smoke spiraling up.

His eyes flashed with flames, and he saw into the void that it was actually a great serpent.

The snake body is gray and white, the scale armor is clear, and it is about 20 zhang long, but there is only one line from a distance.

Zhao Chengyun was very surprised, at this moment, in the city where he stayed, he actually saw a snake crossing the catastrophe.

I saw that the snake flew higher and higher, and went straight up into the dark clouds in the sky, but before it could enter the dark clouds, a lightning bolt flashed down from the dark clouds and landed on the gray-white snake.

The serpent's body trembled, but it did not fall.

Zhao Yingyun saw the lightning striking its head, but it flowed like water to the snake's tail.

This was followed by a thunderous explosion.

"Boom!"

At this moment, Zhao Yingyun's mind was blank, as if all his consciousness had been scattered in the thunder.

At this moment, his whole body froze and stopped moving, and those chaotic thoughts in the depths of his heart seemed to be destroyed in an instant.

At this moment, he seemed to have experienced a thunderstorm with the snake.

His eyes were still reflected in the sky, and the gray snake wriggled into the dark clouds, churning silently, only lightning and thunder.

The snake roared like a beast in the clouds, like anger, like struggle, it seemed to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth, but in this voice, there was a kind of helplessness and pathos.

A large gray snake tumbled out of the sky and fell into the mountains outside the city.

When Zhao Yingyun's thoughts returned, the scene in his eyes was already calm.

It was all like a dream, like my imagination when I saw this sudden heavy rain.

He sat down by the window, but his nose seemed to smell the fragrance, and when he smelled it, he found that the fragrance seemed to emanate from his body.

Suddenly, I remembered a book I had read about describing the thoughts of divine consciousness, which said that the mind of the body is pure and fragrant.

After the rain passed, Zhao Yingyun was in the teahouse and heard someone say that there was a snake crossing yesterday.

Mr. Scholar said that the snake had practiced in the deep pool of this mountain pass for 500 years.

Zhao Yingyun didn't understand this, and only listened to a rough idea.

I probably know that this big snake has a lot of connections with this city, and that mountain is called Snake Pan Mountain.

The scholar first talked a lot about the snake saving people, and he could hear that he seemed to have a good impression of the snake.

Zhao Yingyun listened halfway, and suddenly someone came to catch up, it was the fast catcher in the city, saying that the county commander had an order, and he must not talk about the snake demon deeds.

"That's the snake fairy." The storyteller argued.

"Don't say it again, that snake demon died yesterday, for so many years, this beast has pressed on our heads, called immortals gods, and it's time for it to pay the price." Caught up and shouted loudly.

But the storyteller said loudly: "It's not that those people forced the snake fairy to have to go through the danger of the disaster, and you blocked the way of humanity, and you will be punished." ”

However, as he shouted, a catcher rushed forward and took him away.

Zhao Yingyun sat there, watching the crowd surge, and for a while, there was a lot of discussion, he sat for a while, got up and left.

The spirit class in the world, the snake is called one of the five immortals, it is a very spiritual category, and it can realize the method of cultivation after a long time.

He went out of the city and headed towards Cangzhou City, which was in front of him.

Cangzhou, it was not that Zhao Yingyun intended to come here, but after leaving Lishan, he walked and walked into the Cangzhou territory, and he thought of a person who could barely be called a friend in the Cangzhou territory

Of course, if it's not, it's not a friend either.

Cangzhou City looks not small, and judging from the city wall and the post stations and some temples on both sides of the road, this Cangzhou City is an old city.

He walked all the way and saw a lot of Lingtian.

After the Great Zhou Kingdom unified this place, the biggest benefit was stability, and people were probably able to have food and clothing.

It's not like before, except that everyone is a slave under the seat of various gods, like a domestic animal.

Although, most of the mortals now are also sharecroppers, and they are all long-term workers of various families, but at least they are better than before.

However, with the rise and fall of the various families, then the people under the original families will also be displaced with the upheaval, and many people do not know that there is a country, but only know the family, because the heaven they can see is the heaven of the family.

He asked someone about the Zhuang family, but the person looked at Zhao Zhiyun and said, "The noble person went to the Zhuang family to apply for worship." ”

"Was the Zhuang family originally recruiting for offerings? That's just right, I'm about to check it out. Zhao Yingyun said.

"The noble person is coming from other places, maybe you don't know the situation, but don't be deceived by the Zhuang family, now the Zhuang family is afraid that the spirit stone will not even be able to be enshrined, but it is just to deceive outsiders like the noble."

"Liar? Why is that? Zhao Yingyun asked suspiciously.

The man seemed to know something, and said: "The ancestors of the Zhuang family have also been rich, thousands of acres of spiritual fields, groups of slaves in the family, and the purple mansion is cultivated, but the flowers are not red and red, and the family has not been prosperous for thousands of years. ”

"Isn't that the time to turn the tide and fall? The opportunity is rare, if someone has the ability, go to the dealer, help the dealer through this difficulty, will the dealer still treat him badly? Zhao Yingyun said.

"Alas, the noble man must have been practicing in the mountains for a long time, and I don't know that the things in this world are complicated, and the dealer will have these troubles, but it is not only a natural disaster, otherwise why does the natural disaster only fall on the banker."

Zhao Yingyun looked at the person in front of him, and saw that although he was well dressed, he also looked a little old, his brows were furrowed, a wisp of black beard was scarce, and he was wearing a hat on his head, which looked like an outsider.

"Husband, please tell me where the dealer is." Zhao Yingyun said.

"Apricot Blossom Lane." The old man replied.

Zhao Yingyun felt that this person's performance was quite weird, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but he didn't say anything, but went directly to the city.

On the horizon, the sun was in the west, and a red light shone on the earth.

The weather has turned cold, and the guards at the city gate are already wearing winter clothes.

Zhao Yingyun walked over, and they didn't seem to see it at all.

The manager of this city had quite an idea, and set up a wall in the place where he entered the city, and there were many announcements posted on the wall, and the laws of Cangzhou in this city in addition to the laws of the Great Zhou were pasted, and there was a simple map of the city.

There are exactly three words on the map: Xinghua Lane.

Xinghua Lane is very spacious, but it can also be seen that this is an old alley, with a pit on the ground and peeling mud on the walls of the houses in the alley.

Heavy doors, but those doors were one-eared doors.

It wasn't until I walked to the middle that I saw a huge door with a plaque on the door, on which were written two vigorous and powerful characters - Zhuangfu.

He looked left and right, and saw that there were also heavy small doors on the other side of the gate, and he was sure that those doors entered were actually this village, and the entire Xinghua Lane belonged to the banker's.

And the places where those small doors go in are probably where the banker's servants live.

On the left side of the gate, there is a relatively large door, which is a side door, double open.

When Zhao Yingyun's figure was revealed in front of this door for a while, a small servant poked his head out from the side door, looked at Zhao Yingyun, and said, "The noble man came to the Zhuang Mansion to apply for worship. ”

Of course, he couldn't tell whether Zhao Yingyun was a monk or not, but now that Zhao Yingyun was in this outfit, no matter who saw him, he would say that he was a nobleman.

Zhao Yingyun shook his head.

The little guy asked suspiciously: "The noble man is not here to apply for worship, so why are you peeping in front of the Zhuangfu?" ”

"I'm here to find Zhuang Xinyan." Zhao Yingyun said.

After the little guy heard Zhao Yingyun's words, he slammed the door shut, and Zhao Yingyun heard him shouting outside: "It's not good, someone is coming to seek revenge, afraid of uncle, afraid of uncle, and someone is coming to seek revenge." ”

There was a thumping sound inside, as if someone had knocked over the barrel, causing a burst of shouting.

Zhao Yingyun frowned slightly, he didn't bother to wait here, he squeezed in directly through the crack in the door, and happened to be seen by a woman behind the door, who was picking up the clothes that had been knocked over on the ground.

Seeing a person squeezing in through the crack in the door, he was shocked and shouted, "A demon has come in, and the demon has squeezed in through the crack in the door." ”

Her voice became sharper, and it soon alarmed the entire Zhuang Mansion.

A deep voice sounded from the mansion: "He Fang Daoyou trespassed into the Zhuang Mansion." ”

A man who looked to be still in the prime of life jumped down from an attic and strode towards Zhao Yingyun.

When he walked over, his eyes flashed with silver light, as if he was observing Zhao Yingyun's cultivation realm.

However, since Zhao Yingyun practiced the "Tai Void Tribulation Sutra", and comprehended the invisibility spell, his people stood here, but it was as if they didn't exist, as long as he didn't want ordinary people to see it, then ordinary people couldn't see him at all, and monks couldn't see his cultivation.

"Your Excellency's trespass on the Zhuangfu, what do you want?"

"Isn't Zhuang Xinyan at home?" Zhao Yingyun did not answer the big man's words, but asked him rhetorically, he felt that as long as he saw Zhuang Xinyan, he didn't need to explain who he was.

"Our eldest lady is not at home, I don't know why this noble man came to Zhuangfu?" An elderly man who looked like a housekeeper walked out, followed by a group of guards, each with a weapon in his hand.

"I didn't have anything to do, I was just passing by here to see her." Zhao Yingyun said: "If it's not there, then forget it." ”

After Zhao Yingyun finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The housekeeper watched Zhao Yingyun turn around and leave, but he was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought that this person might not be the enemy of his banker.

"Wait a minute, the eldest lady went to the water show to talk about things, and I will ask the eldest lady to come back." The housekeeper said quickly: "Douzi, go, go and call the eldest lady to come back." ”

The housekeeper welcomed Zhao Chengyun into the hall again, Zhao Yingyun thought about it, since he came, he would wait.

The beans ran all the way to the water show.

He didn't know why his eldest lady was in Shuixiufang, but he knew that these days, the eldest lady's face was full of sadness, which made his heart flutter.

The dealer owes a lot of fabric money to Shuixiufang, and Zhuang Xinyan came here to tell the shopkeeper of Shuixiufang, hoping to be able to give some days of grace.

"Sister Xinyan, I can only give you a month at most, you should also know that this is the limit of what I can help you, although I followed my father to participate in the management of Shuixiufang and became the shopkeeper, but you should also know that I am also a woman, how difficult it is to do something, my father and brother are watching."

"Your dealer, or need to get through the relationship as soon as possible, the dealer's situation has deteriorated over the years, since the death of Xiange outside, many people say that the dealer is going to fall, you have to remember, many times, being talked about, this will be inexplicably decaying."

Zhuang Xinyan was silent for a while, and said: "Thank you, Sister Huang's help and heartfelt words, after a month, I will pay back my sister's money, and I won't make it difficult for my sister." ”

Zhuang Xinyan stood up, bowed, and turned to leave, but Sister Huang spoke again: "Xinyan, there is a saying called ruin and disaster avoidance, you have to think clearly, sometimes, the more you want to keep some things, the more difficult it is to keep, and staying in the end will only become a big disaster." ”

Zhuang Xinyan didn't know, but she was unwilling.

At this time, someone came to report, saying that the dealer had a small servant coming, saying that he wanted to invite Zhuang Xinyan back.

Sister Huang got up to see Zhuang Xinyan, and Zhuang Xinyan went out, just when she saw the little guy, the little guy immediately said: "Miss, there was a person who came to you just now, a monk, who can squeeze through the crack in the door. ”

Sister Huang also heard it next to her.

Zhuang Xinyan frowned slightly and said, "What does that person look like." ”

"Dressed in purple, wearing a jade crown on his head, a jade pendant around his waist, and a pair of good-looking boots on his feet, the whole person looks like a noble son."

Zhuang Xinyan thought in her heart that she didn't know such a person, so she couldn't help asking, "Then did he say his name?" ”

"No, as soon as he came, he said that he was looking for you, and when Uncle Shen said that you were not there, he said forget it, saying that he was just passing by here, so Uncle Shen called him and asked me to run and call the eldest lady to go back."

When the little girl said this, she looked at Zhuang Xinyan and wondered if she was a friend of her eldest lady.

In fact, he also thinks that he may be a friend of the eldest lady, and he also hopes that the eldest lady will have a capable friend.

Zhuang Xinyan thought about the people she might know, a figure flashed in her heart, and she couldn't help but say, "Could it be him." ”

"Sister Xinyan, but a friend is visiting?" Sister Huang said beside her.

"Sister Huang, Xinyan is not very clear, let's go back and see first, whether it is a friend or not, you will know if you see it." Zhuang Xinyan said.

"Yes, I only know when I see it, but, Sister Xinyan, you have to think clearly, what is the mind of a 'friend' who suddenly came at this time, you have to see it clearly." Sister Huang said.

"Xinyan knows, Sister Huang, Xinyan says goodbye." Zhuang Xinyan walked out quickly and headed home, at this moment, she wanted to change into a cat and go back quickly.

The sun is setting.

Her mood was bright for the first time in a long time, and no matter what, it was always a joy to have a friend visit.
