Chapter 124: Poyang Lake
The Lonely Butterfly Fairy of the Valley of Hundred Flowers now recalls that when she received the golden scroll from the hands of the Holy Mother of the Ghost Clan, she still couldn't keep her peace in her heart, and she once again confirmed in her heart that she had received the promise of the Lady Lampflower that day, as long as the art of immortality was in hand, she would ask the Lady Lampflower to marry Blue Butterfly as her daughter-in-law, which would undoubtedly bring her a chance to restore the relationship with Brother Frost Moon, and this temptation was big enough, so she hid from others and quietly left the Valley of Hundred Flowers.
According to the guidance of the mother-in-law of the lantern flower, she went to the Dongting Lake in Huguang, but she was not very familiar with the path, although she grew up in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, after cultivating the spirit of the day, she also walked out of the valley, often peeking into the life of mortals, and for several years she was used to seeing the life and death of the three religions and nine streams. Rise and fall, honor and disgrace, she recognized the greed and stupidity of mortals, and believed that once the spirit fell in love with a mortal, it was a dead end, and Sister Jinhua was an example, so she set a motto for herself: mortals are either evil or stupid, and the woman she rescued yesterday was nothing more than a little compassion, mortals who are either evil or stupid are not worthy of sympathy, let alone love, she just wants to find a slave to lead the way, this ugly monk with a scar on his face is a good candidate, and she believes that she will never have a relationship with him.
Zhu Zaiying nodded and wrote down the words of the Lone Butterfly Fairy, and the two were just about to walk out of the courtyard gate, when Zhu Zaiying suddenly remembered the pig's head and finances left by the thief last night, and asked, "Miss Lan'er, the thief killed the pig and the man last night, we can't just leave." “
"You don't have to care, someone has already found their traces and reported to the official, the person who will come to collect the body should be on the way, this world is indiscriminate, only asking for a card, bullying the good people, don't you and I leave quickly, waiting for the lawsuit to eat people's lives?" Although she is the body of the sun spirit, she also knows that she can't provoke the living Yamas in the world.
On the way, the lone butterfly fairy bought a sick donkey with dark gray coat from a farmer, Zhu Zaiying held a willow branch in his hand, pretending to lead the donkey in front, where would he drive the donkey, but to deal with it, the donkey was commanded by him indiscriminately, the four hooves were almost twisted together, the angry nose was whirring and panting, and the lone butterfly fairy on the donkey's back looked angry and laughed, laughing at the monk's stupidity.
Zhu Zaiying, the prince of Qiantang Wang, first fell into a monk, and now he has become a donkey servant of the lonely butterfly fairy in the Valley of Flowers, with a clumsy means of serving people, the Hanshan monk Zhu Zaiying accompanied the lonely butterfly fairy all the way to the direction of Poyang Lake, this day I saw a town from afar, the market was depressed, the pedestrians were scattered, only three of the ten shops along the street were open, the rest were closed, the weeds were full of weeds, and a dilapidated scene.
It was almost dusk, and the two of them and a donkey walked into the market, and the sound of their feet echoed in the street, and it was even more obvious that the surroundings were very sparse, and there were no men to solicit business in the open shops, only a few old people took care of the business, and sat lazily in the door.
Zhu Zaiying and the Lonely Butterfly Fairy finally saw an inn, which was also very sparse, with almost no guests, and the shopkeeper saw the two arriving behind the counter, and only cheered up and greeted: "Two guest officers, but you came to stay in the hotel?"
The lone butterfly fairy took out a bag of broken gold sand from her waist, threw it on the counter, and said, "There are two good guest rooms, and there is also a table of wine and rice." The shopkeeper opened the gold bag, beamed with joy, called out an unkempt guy from the back kitchen, and repeatedly instructed the guest room and meals, the guy looked reluctant, and muttered: "What day is today, first came a group of men who spoke bird language, shouting to vacate the first floor by the street for them to live, and I want to replace the window cloth with black gauze, and it is not a funeral, it is really unlucky, this is to buy a banquet, this kitchen is short of a cook, and it is not a way to let me run on both sides!" The shopkeeper took the guy away, brought the two guests to the wine table and sat down, and said with a smile: "Sit down slowly, the banquet will be ready soon, and the room will be ready soon." "Niuniu Chinese Network
Zhu Zaiying sat down at the bottom, called the shopkeeper and asked: "Shopkeeper, I see that this place is not far from Poyang Lake, why is the town sparsely populated?"
The shopkeeper lifted the teapot on the table and filled the two with tea, and before he could speak, the sorrow on his face wrinkled first, like earthworms on two hot iron plates, "Yes, this is Poyang Town, only two or three miles away from Poyang Lake, because it is too close to this evil lake, it has suffered from the lake, this evil lake has been flooded in three days in recent years, flooding the crops, the fish pond has been flushed, and people are hungry and run away. “
"I see. Zhu Zaiying didn't expect that the famous Poyang Town had become a disaster from the land of fish and rice, and the Lone Butterfly Fairy didn't care about these, she heard the danger from the guy's words, so she asked: "Listen to the guy, but there are a few strange people to stay?"
"Yes, yes, but they don't live here, they live on the first floor of the back room, across the street, where it was originally a firewood house stacked with miscellaneous items, they insist on not living in the upstairs guest room, they want to live there, and they also change the window cloth to black gauze, I don't know what their purpose is, I can't control this so much, anyway, there is room money. “
When he was talking, a dark shadow flashed in front of the door, the lone butterfly fairy glanced at the back, pretended not to pay attention, and asked the shopkeeper a few common questions, and waited until the wine and food were lined up in turn, and the two went back to the room to rest after eating and drinking.
Zhu Zaiying returned to the room on the second floor, sat down at the table and drank tea, after the teapot bottomed out, he simply blew out the lights and candles and sat alone in the dark, a few questions swirled in his mind, did the murderous thieves happen to come here too? Will they kill people here again? Is Miss Dugulan going to look for them? Is she their opponent? What if I can't beat them? Should I take advantage of this to leave here? Where am I going to go if I leave here?
Zhu Zaiying took a deep breath, quietly went out, climbed over the courtyard wall, came to the backyard, just stood in the backyard, a white shadow flashed behind him, and said softly: "Didn't you let you hide?" I checked, this group of people is the thieves we met before, they also found out that we came here, just went upstairs and didn't find us, and then went to the lake, I want to follow over to see." “
"Miss Lan'er, they're beasts who kill people without blinking, and we're still-" Zhu Zaiying thought of their evil deeds, and his heart was hated and afraid.
"Why, are you scared? Don't worry, I'm here, these mortals are just some dead branches, you can come with me. “
