The old man coughed a few times and spit directly on the ground. In the home remedies, a few maid-like girls came out and helped the old man pat his back to make him more comfortable.

When the old man finally recovered, he said to Zhuge Chen and the others: "We are like this all year round, there is a lot of rain, and there is no time to stop. Once it goes down, it rains heavily. My house was built on a mountain, and the path down the mountain was muddy and difficult to walk. If you don't dislike it, let's stay here for a few days. Wait until the road is no longer so muddy, and it's not too late to move. ”

Zuo Yichun looked around, raised his head to look at the cloudy sky again, and glanced at Chitose, waiting for him to decide. As for Jiang Wang, he is already easy-going, so it doesn't matter what. And the barefoot monk, not to mention, was originally an ascetic. Even if he was drenched in heavy rain, he had no complaints.

Seeing this, Chitose didn't shirk it, so he said directly: "Then thank you, old man." ”

The old man said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, my house has not been occupied by outsiders for many years, and it is empty and not interesting." It's a good thing to be able to meet you. Come on in, I'll have someone cook some food. ”

Hearing the old man say this, several people followed the maid's guidance and walked into the house.

Zhuge Chen was the only one still standing in the courtyard, for some reason, he always felt that something was in the dark, staring at them with greedy eyes. But every time he turned around, that feeling disappeared.

At this moment, the old man came to Zhuge Chen's side and said kindly: "Little guy, why are you still standing here? If it rains, you will get wet." Come inside, they're all waiting for you. ”

Zhuge Chen raised his head, and the ghost envoy asked, "Old man, what are you doing this for?"

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and Zhuge Chen suddenly smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it's me who is too talkative." Then he went into the house.

Although the house was built on a hill, far from the crowds, anyone could tell that the old man was rich and noble when he was young. Judging from the portrait on the wall, the old man was also a high-spirited young man.

On the shelves, there are countless ceramic jades, which seem to be some years old. If you put it outside and be seen by people who know how to do it, everything will cause an uproar. But at this moment, it is placed here, only for the old man to watch.

Zhuge Chen narrowed his eyes and walked through the shelf, and by coincidence, he knocked down a dragon and phoenix carved from jade. If it weren't for Zuo Yichun's quick eyes and hands, he fell to the ground and shattered, maybe he would have been ridiculed by the old man.

Zuo Yichun put the jade back in its place, and said to Zhuge Chen: "Why are you so careless? It's all someone else's thing, and it's really broken, and we people have to stay in the wind and rain all night." ”

Perhaps because Zhuge Chen is the only mortal in this line, Zuo Yichun's attitude towards Zhuge Chen has always been very cold. Rao is Chitose has shown his appreciation for white clothes more than once, but he still can't get into Zuo Yichun's eyes. Maybe it's because of the arrogance of the reader, or maybe it's because of the boredom of carrying a drag oil bottle, in short, although Zuo Yichun has never shown it, several people know it.

Especially Zhuge Chen, it's a pity that after all, the other party is a peak immortal monk, and he is an elder who is more than a year older than him. A little annoyance in my heart can only be suppressed.

How else?

Can you really fan the flames and let Chitose and Zuo Yichun fight?

Not to mention whether he has this face or not, just putting this mind into action will only bring disappointment to Chitose.

Divided into guest rooms, one room for one person, Zhuge Chen sat in the quiet room, puzzled. Could it be that the old man has not seen anyone for too long to be so enthusiastic? But when I think of the feeling of being stared at and on my back, I don't think it makes sense at all.

Sighing a long breath, Zhuge Chen fell on the bed, exhaustion invaded, and after a while, he fell asleep. Even the sound of Qingyue knocking on the door and calling him to eat was not heard.

When he woke up, he sat up and looked out the window, only to realize that it was pitch black. On an ordinary rainy night, how can there be such a scene?

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Zhuge Chen walked out of the room and came to the lobby, only to find the leftovers on the table of the Eight Immortals. However, he was hungry, even if the food was cold, he could only bury his head in eating. Although the taste is a lot worse, it can still make him feast.

If you wait until you are rich in the future, you must invite a good cook to cook for him every day, Zhuge Chen thought endlessly. It's just a glass of wine in the stomach, and the white clothes are holding their cheeks with one hand, so it is inevitable that they will be melancholy.

It's just a mortal, whether it's plain or rich, in short, you can live a peaceful and stable life. It's good now, not to mention losing my memory, I inexplicably became the opportunity of the five immortal monks, and was forced to join the overall situation of this life and death line. If you were an ordinary person, I am afraid that you would have been broken and gone crazy.

He is the only one who holds a string in his heart. It's better to die than to live, and it is this constant telling yourself that I have walked through countless mountains and rivers.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Zhuge Chen turned his head, only to find that it was the owner of the house, the mysterious old man.

Out of courtesy, Zhuge Chen nodded slightly, pulled out the chair beside him from under the table, and said, "Old man, you sit." ”

The old man sat down with a smile, glanced at the empty cup in Zhuge Chen's hand, and said, "Why are you drinking here alone?"

"I fell asleep while eating, and I woke up hungry. Sorry for the trouble. Zhuge Chen said.

The old man waved his hand, signaling that Zhuge Chen didn't have to be so polite, and then said, "Young man, it's normal. When I was your age, I was far less polite than you, and my skin was thicker than the city wall, otherwise I wouldn't have lived as big as I am now. Why? You need me to get someone to help you get a hot meal, and I happen to have some too. When you're old, you can't eat three meals, and the rest of the time you're hungry. ”

With that, the old man summoned the maid and asked them to return the cold food to the pot to be hot. Then he carefully picked up his wine glass and whispered: "Don't tell anyone else about my drinking, otherwise you will have to endure their nagging and annoyance." ”

Looking at the old man who pouted, Zhuge Chen smiled knowingly. Putting aside the doubts in my heart, this old man is indeed cute.

Zhuge Chen raised his wine glass and collided with the old man. At this moment, it was pouring rain outside, but the two people in the lobby were content, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, although there was no conversation, but just the non-stop drinking was enough to set off the interest.

In the middle of the night, the two finally walked back to their house drunk. Pushing open the door, Zhuge Chen threw himself on the bed, turned over and burped a few times, and then lost his voice.

As for the old men, they were all as unconscious as they appeared on the table of the Eight Immortals, but put on their robes and hats, and made a big circle in the courtyard under the wind and rain, and stopped by a dry well. Although it was pouring rain, there was no rain in the dry well. What's even more strange is that by the well, it turned out to be the maid in the mansion, wearing black clothes that could cover her figure, standing there quietly. When they saw the old man, they fell to one knee and held a nail in their hand that seemed to be made of human bone above their heads.

The old man smiled and said, "Finally, it's been a hundred years, and I haven't waited for the sacrifice to be delivered to the door." I never thought that just when I was about to give up, I was given such an opportunity, which is really the way to heaven. When I have gathered everything to break the small world, leave this ghost place, and concentrate on cultivation, I must find ways to find that bullshit God for revenge......! It's impossible!"

With that, he threw himself into the dry well. And those maids also turned into black mist and disappeared into the courtyard.

......

Early the next morning, Zhuge Chen got up early in the morning. When he opened his eyes, he looked out the window, and the rain had passed.

Although he was drunk last night, when he got out of bed in white, he felt refreshed. It was really strange to say something to himself, he pushed the door and walked out, never thinking that Zuo Yichun had already held a sage book in his hand and stood in the courtyard to recite it. The barefoot monk sat by the pool and watched the frogs jump at his feet.

Smelling the unique earthy fragrance after the rain, Zhuge Chen moved his muscles and bones, and he wanted to greet Zuo Yichun, but after seeing that the other party didn't mean this at all, he could only retract his hand stupidly. However, the barefoot monk took the lead in nodding at Zhuge Chen, which made Bai Yi a little flattered.

Since leaving the Dream Country Dynasty and no longer having to go to the early court, Chitose has allowed herself to be lazy. After working for most of my life, I have to leave some time for myself to enjoy. And for Chitose, good food, money, and beauty are not enough to impress him. There is nothing more truly comfortable than lying in bed and getting a full night's sleep, and it is a lot of money. There's nothing going on behind you anyway, and it's out of the way anyway. It's just that I sleep until noon every day, which is really unreasonable. That's why Chitose appeared in the courtyard at this time, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention: "When did there be an extra dry well here, it was not seen yesterday." ”

Zhuge Chen, who was closest to the dry well, stepped forward, squinted his eyes and looked into the darkness, but was directly frightened and collapsed to the ground.

Everyone gathered forward in confusion, and found the bones of the old man in the dry well!
