Zhuge Chen nodded lightly, and walked into the door with the girl.

In the restaurant, it can be said that it is very lively, not only those drinkers pushing glasses and changing lamps, but also their faces are full of happy smiles. Even the shopkeeper, who is busy non-stop, is also enjoying it. In this water town in the south of the Yangtze River, I dare not say that everyone is familiar with everyone, but when I meet him on the road, I can definitely talk to everyone. Even if you are in a restaurant, if you look good, you can pick up a pot of wine and go to each other's table, laugh and talk, and you can call each other friends.

Zhuge Chen didn't like this atmosphere, but he felt that he was like an outlier out of place when he stretched out of the restaurant. But the woman who was already sitting down not far away was already beckoning him to hurry up, and Zhuge Chen could only temporarily put aside the strange thoughts in his heart that came from nowhere, and walked over quickly. Taking off the hat he was wearing on his head, Zhuge Chen's eyes fell on the oil-paper umbrella intentionally or unintentionally, and then asked, "The girl is a native who grew up in this water town in the south of the Yangtze River?"

The woman nodded shyly, glanced at Zhuge Chen without a trace, and two blushes flew up her cheeks: "Yes, but Childe...... If that's the case, it shouldn't be. I just don't know, is it from our dream country?"

Zhuge Chen shook his head gently, he couldn't remember many things. It's like going through a dream bubble, and after waking up, I don't know what is true and what is false. He looked at his waist, where something should have been hanging, but now it was empty. Only after Xiao Er served the wine, Zhuge Chen habitually poured a full cup and took a sip.

"There are a lot of people like you in the water town lately, but you have to be careful. The woman suddenly became cautious, and told Zhuge Chen: "The prince doesn't know, the great eunuch of Mengguo is a real powerful person. Whoever he wants to die, that person will not see the sun of tomorrow, which is even more terrifying than Hades. And he didn't know why recently, the search for people like sons in the entire water town was rumored to be to break the bottleneck of his immortal monks. ”

Zhuge Chen nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder." ”

The girl smiled lightly, turned to the counter and settled the money directly, and then walked out of the restaurant after saying goodbye to Zhuge Chen. As she said, it was only to repay the grace of the umbrella that she would invite this meal of wine and food. didn't think about it at all, as for the shyness, it was just because she was a beautiful girl, and she had never been a man of the same age, only the two of them ate and chatted at the wine table.

Fortunately, Zhuge Chen is not a mediocre person, and after he was full of wine and food, he wandered around in the night.

The lively and lively gathering that came from Japan during the day has now dispersed, and only a few people are left walking on the long street. The candles on both sides are brightly lit, and it seems that even if there is no bright moon above the head, they can go on step by step.

Around the corner, Zhuge Chen heard a noisy quarrel, he leaned against the wall, squinted his eyes, and found that it was several armored soldiers who had captured a young man who did not look amazing, and was about to escort him back.

One of them smiled and said, "Sure enough, as the boss said, as long as you search carefully under the night, you will definitely be able to gain something." ”

The other person also smiled, but the corners of his mouth were open with greed: "I told you a long time ago, you don't believe it." Now, I should believe it, right?"

The man nodded repeatedly, and at this moment, the captured young man tried to break free, but was knocked unconscious with a stick.

Zhuge Chen remembered the advice given to him by the oil-paper umbrella woman, and wanted to dodge directly, but he didn't think that he was half a step too late, and he was caught by those soldiers. Because his deeds were so suspicious, the soldier shouted, "That boy in white, why are you still hanging out at such a late hour? ”

Zhuge Chen turned his back to the soldier and frowned. At this critical juncture, it's not to run, and it's not to turn back. He stood there until the soldier came to him, and then he finally came to his senses and said, "You have something to do, but it doesn't hurt to ask." ”

Although he pretended to be full of confidence, Zhuge Chen's heart was constantly drumming. I couldn't stop thinking about what the other party would ask, and whether I could get away with it.

One of the soldiers snorted coldly, and said when he kept looking at Zhuge Chen: "If you want me to say, just take this kid back directly, and charge him with an outsider, and he won't be able to escape from prison no matter what." And wouldn't it be nice for us to take the opportunity to earn another amount of credit?"

The other person was still relatively calm, and after weighing the pros and cons, he said pertinently: "No, if the matter is revealed, even if we have great credit, we can't afford to lose our lives." The people of Jiangnan Water Town are more expensive than gold, but we can't decide life and death. I ask you, young man, what should we call him?"

The one in the soldier's mouth is naturally the great eunuch who listens to the government, and he is also the leading immortal monk in the Dream Country. It happened that Zhuge Chen had talked about these things in his conversation with the oil-paper umbrella woman, so he could say with confidence: "Chitose." ”

"That's a good answer, you can go. In the future, it is better to go out less at such a late hour, otherwise it will be a big trouble to be caught and interrogated. With that, the soldier departed with the corpse-like young man.

But in Zhuge Chen's field of vision, a strange black shadow suddenly flashed. Then the soldiers collapsed in a pool of blood.

The black shadow disappeared in a flash, and in an instant, he stood in front of Zhuge Chen, and a slap woke up the young man who had fainted, and then said to the other party: "Senior brother, why are you so careless? You have already made a big mistake when you came down the mountain to the water town, and you were caught by the soldiers, isn't it a crime? After you go, see how the master punishes you!"

The young man scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "There was a little accident and I met a person with extraordinary skills, otherwise these shrimp-like soldiers would definitely not be able to catch me." ”

Knowing the cause and effect of the matter, the black shadow no longer looked at him, but set his eyes on Zhuge Chen's body. Bai Yi didn't take the other party seriously, so he was about to walk directly, but he was stopped without thinking: "I look at the aura you carry, it should be an outsider, right?"

Zhuge Chen was like a great enemy, but his face was unfazed.

The dark shadow continued: "Don't be so vigilant, we are the existence that has gathered together to resist the iron fist of the great eunuch. Originally, I heard about you from the little junior sister's side, so I rushed over, and I never wanted to save the junior brother, which is really a double win. But except for your skin, there is nothing else to show for you......"

Zhuge Chen looked at the other party and asked softly, "Little junior sister, who is that?"

"Now you don't need to know. The little sister is a true phoenix in the sky, and now you are just an ant on the ground. You can meet it, but you can't ask for it, do you understand what I mean?" the black shadow said slowly: "The only way for you to catch up with the little junior sister is to worship under the master's door, start over, and become an immortal monk. Otherwise, the two of you will only drift apart. ”

The junior brother suddenly interjected: "No, the little junior sister like an iceberg would care about a mortal?"

The shadow nodded lightly and said, "Have you decided?" After all, as an outsider, there are too many dangers in the water town. But if you walk into our mountain gate, even if you can't become an immortal monk because of your talent, you can at least ensure your safety. ”

Zhuge Chen immediately made a decision and said directly: "Since this is the case, then I will promise you." ”

Of course, he was not for the little junior sister he had never met, although he already had his own guess about the identity of this person in his heart. But after all the calculations, it is most important to be able to survive. As for the so-called immortal cultivators, for some reason, Zhuge Chen always had the idea that he was destined to be the top of the mountain.

In the midst of the ghost's mission, he retracted his hands into his big sleeves, and in the deepest part, lay a flying sword that seemed to infect time.
