Chapter 52: I Don't Dare Eat a Bite of This Rice
"Alas, by the way, sister, do you know that Beiliang City is closed?"
After swallowing a piece of sweet and sour crucian carp, Zhou Li suddenly remembered the conversation at the gate of Fangcai City, and asked Tao Yao curiously: "When we came back today, a few faces sealed the city gate, and when we asked, they said that it meant above." ”
"Oh, the lockdown."
After cutting the egg yolk in the bowl in half with a spoon, Tao Yao seemed to think of something, and after a pause, he said: "Do you know [Blue Brick Glazed Tile, White Yujing in the World]? ”
"Bai Yujing?"
Throwing the fish bones into the paper basket, Tang Wan on the side asked curiously, "Isn't that the fairyland of the Dao Immortal Sect?" I heard that it is near Mount Tai, does it have anything to do with the closure of Beiliang? ”
"You're talking about the heavenly Bai Yujing."
Shaking his chopsticks, Zhou on the side left his mouth and said: "The heavenly Bai Yujing is the fairyland of Taoist orthodoxy, and the top of the list of ten thousand sects of the Ming Dynasty." And I'm talking about Bai Yujing in the world. ”
"The so-called white jade in the world, blue bricks pave the road, glazed tiles, but there are no immortals to guide the way, resulting in frequent strange images. After entering this human world, Bai Yujing, people will not be able to distinguish reality, and they will not know whether they are immortals with the power of heaven or mortals who are dying and struggling, and finally fall into madness and become monsters who only know how to devour flesh and blood. ”
After saying all this knowledge learned in the Taixue Academy, Zhou Li quickly thought of something, and a solemn look suddenly appeared on his face. He put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked solemnly:
"Sister, is the closure of the city because Bai Yujing in the world appeared in Beiliang?"
"Ah, no."
Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face:
"The lockdown of Beiliang is because a red-haired foreigner named Dave accidentally planted a strange plant all over Taixue. The old scholar was worried that this would lead to the invasion of species, so he asked the magistrate to block the North Liang to prevent these alien plants from spreading to other places. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Li and Tang Wan were silent.
"So, sister, why are you asking us if we know Bai Yujing."
Zhou Li held the bowl and asked faintly.
"This is not to test you, I'm afraid that you will forget the knowledge you have learned too much~"
Tao Yao's eyebrows and eyes were like crescent moons, and her smile was bright, she put the egg yolk in the bowl in Zhou Li and Tang Guan's bowl, and said, "Nuo, the reward for you." ”
"So, it's because the red-haired waiyi planted plants from the Western Regions in Taixue, and the old scholar was afraid of species invasion, so he blocked Beiliang?"
Zhou Li summed up, stretched out his hand and handed the empty bowl to Tao Yao, and said suspiciously:
"It shouldn't be... Isn't the old pedant most afraid of these troublesome things on weekdays? Why did you make a big move this time and directly lock down the city? Wouldn't it be nice to block the Taixue Academy? ”
"I don't know."
After adding a bowl of soup to Zhou Li, Tao Yao said: "Maybe the plants that Dave planted are too strange, I didn't ask too much, I just chatted with his old man on weekdays and mentioned it." ”
"Oh~~~"
Zhou Li nodded, and then he saw Tang Guan, who was about to stab the fish bone to death with a silver needle, and asked, "Do you remember the old pedant?" ”
"Ahem, ahem."
Tang Guan, who almost stabbed himself to death, coughed a few times and accidentally coughed out the fish bones. After wiping the sugar stains from the corners of his mouth, Tang Wan nodded and said in a hoarse voice:
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"Let's go see him when we have time."
Zhou Li put the empty bowl aside and sighed: "His old man... Alas, I just miss you. Ever since you disappeared, he has been very concerned about you, and he asked me to inquire about your whereabouts. ”
"Ahh
Tang Wan was stunned for a moment, she was keenly aware of the faint sadness in Zhou Li's tone, and her heart suddenly tightened, and she asked in a panic: "What's wrong with the old pedant?" What's wrong with him? ”
"The world is unpredictable."
Zhou Li sighed again, looked at the gradually withering pines and cypresses on the side, felt the gradually withering breath, and said sadly: "Old pedant... It has already broken through the seventh grade. ”
"Huh?"
Tang Wan was stunned, and sadness and regret suddenly froze on his face.
"He is now strong and powerful, and he can move mountains and reclaim the sea, and he can chisel the Eagle Mountain into the Lingtang Mountain with one punch. Some time ago, I drank more than 80 bowls of spirits and rushed into the forest to kill a six-grade tiger demon with his bare hands, and he was nicknamed the Lingtang Boxing King. ”
A cold smile appeared on Zhou Li's face, he looked at the trembling girl in front of him, with a panicked face, and said slowly: "He misses you very much, Tang Cen." ”
Suddenly, all kinds of evil deeds of his year came to mind, and Tang Cen, who had been fighting wits and courage with the old scholar for six years with Zhou Li, clearly remembered that he was also one of the participants of the famous "985 Toilet Persona", and he was also the executor who ignited the toilet of the old pedant's house back then.
Haha, it's a pinch.
"I know that my sins are great and I can't be forgiven by my family, so now I have to bear the guilt and walk three thousand miles back to Shuzhong Tangmen to meet the judgment of my family, Sister Tao Yao, I have enjoyed my last life thanks to you these days, thank you, I will say goodbye."
Grabbing Tang Guan, who was about to flee, Zhou Li looked at each other with a smile and asked kindly: "We are brothers, shouldn't we share difficulties and share difficulties?" ”
"I'm a woman."
Tang Wan looked at Zhou Li and said righteously: "I'm sorry, we can't be brothers anymore." ”
Knock, knock, knock.
At this moment, the three of them heard a heavy knock outside the door. Zhou Li and Tang Wan looked at each other, while Tao Yao stood up with a smile and said to the two, "Look, someone is here." ”
"Zhou Li, if we were brothers, you would save my life."
Turning his head, Tang Guan, whose little face was full of determination, looked at Zhou Li and pleaded: "You will say in a moment that I am Tang Guan, Tang Cen's sister, okay?" ”
"I'm sorry."
With a peaceful smile, Zhou Li was close to Tang Guan's ear and said fiercely:
"We can't be brothers anymore."
Click.
The door was opened by Tao Yao, revealing the figure outside the door. Suddenly, Tang Guan, who was picked up by Zhou Li with one hand, swallowed his saliva, and looked at the figure who walked out of the door with a panicked face.
"Zhou Li Xiaoyou, you are really back."
Tang Guan saw the figure outside the door clearly, and found that it was a rich man wearing a green robe, wearing black horns on his waist, and a harmless face written all over his face, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
This person is Li Kuan, the county governor of Beiliang.
After seeing Zhou Li's figure, Li Kuan first bowed to Tao Yao in a restrained manner, and then walked forward quickly, holding Zhou Li's hand, bursting into tears, full of sorrow:
"I beg you, you must help me."
"Why is Lord Li like this? What bothers you so much? ”
Zhou Li was suddenly shocked, this Li Kuan is notoriously unfazed, the king of fishing in troubled waters, he has never seen this super swing king so out of shape. And Li Kuan was also full of fatigue, as if he had just encountered the great harmony of life, and said in a hoarse voice:
"The brocade guard who came into the city with you..."
"He's insane!!!!"
