Chapter 34 The Storm is Rising
"It's the old man who has lost some of his temper, which makes the virtuous nephew smile!" The old shopkeeper Situ had already adjusted his state at this time, and was ready to tell the story of this ghost thief Yun Zhilan to a few listeners in the house.
The shopkeeper was a little older, and the two brothers saw that the old shopkeeper was so sad, and there was nothing they could do for a while, so they had to pick up the hot wine burned on the stove, and add half a bowl of hot wine to the wine bowl next to the old shopkeeper.
The old shopkeeper Situ picked up the wine bowl and slowly took a sip of hot wine, and the mist rising from the bowl of wine moistened Situ Ji's somewhat gray eyebrows. The liquor went down to the stomach, and the throat first slashed like a knife, and then the throat was as hot as if it had been burned by fire.
Hu Nianzhi decided not to mention the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and after he let Yun Zhilan drink up this pot of bitter water that nourishes his body and nourishes his qi, the subordinates of Yunmeng Villa sent dinner to the study where the two of them were. This dinner was very sumptuous, and many dishes were never seen by Yun Zhilan, a young man who grew up in the mountains. β
After this dinner, Hu Nianzhi did not lock Yun Zhilan in the dark room of the study anymore, he added another bed in his bedroom, and the two faced each other day and night, and Yun Zhilan became Hu Nianzhi's follower in those days. And because the Qingyin Qin Fairy drank the half pot of wine by mistake, he fell asleep for three days and three nights before he woke up. β
"The martial arts conference is about to be held, Yunmeng Villa is busy every day, this Yun Zhilan has been inseparable from Hu Nianzhi every day these days, like a follower, and those subordinates of Yunmeng Villa have also changed from being stunned at the beginning to being surprised later. β
This Hu Nianzhi did not reveal the identity of this Hu Nianzhi to everyone in the village. It's just that Yun Zhilan is a refugee he picked up on the way out, and when he saw that he was nimble, he took him as a follower. β
What Yun Zhilan does every day is to follow behind Hu Nianzhi and listen to him deal with the news of the rivers and lakes from all over the world every day, and Hu Nianzhi will receive a lot of messages from the rivers and lakes every day. The content of these greetings is nothing more than some compliments, but this Hu Nianzhi has to carefully examine each of these letters exchanged between the rivers and lakes, and he will personally reply to these messengers. β
"I thought that the life of this martial arts alliance leader must be beautiful, but after following this Hu Nianzhi for a few days, Yun Zhilan completely cut off this idea, in his opinion, this martial arts alliance leader is a chore, every day is a mess of trivial things to deal with, and the time of practice can only be after sunset, and everyone can only take out such a moment to practice after everyone has rested. β
In just a few days, Yun Zhilan has established a deep relationship with Hu Nianzhi, and in the past few days, Hu Nianzhi will take time out to heal him every day, and will also give him some heavenly treasures to heal his body. During this period, Hu Li'er didn't say a word to him, and every time she saw him, she would find a way to hide away. Hu Li'er has always been a little concerned about getting drunk that day, thinking that she is also a role in the rivers and lakes, but that afternoon she was full of ugliness in front of Yun Zhilan, which made Hu Li'er's self-esteem as a lady of the sky suffer a big blow. β
Although Hu Nianzhi still hasn't unlocked a few acupoints on Yun Zhilan's body, Yun Zhilan's body is getting better day by day, and the day of the martial arts conference is getting closer and closer day by day! Yun Zhilan didn't know why this Hu Nianzhi wanted to help him recover his body. He didn't have much to think about, after all, he still had a lot of injustice on his back. β
Yun Zhilan stayed in Yunmeng Villa like this, and his daily life was not boring, because he found that during this period of time, he followed behind Hu Nianzhi, not only understanding the various open and secret battles behind the rivers and lakes, but also learning how to wander among the major forces like Hu Nianzhi, turning these famous families on the rivers and lakes into his own strength. β
It wasn't until the first batch of guests came in Yunmeng Villa that Yun Zhilan stopped this life, and these days, Hu Nianzhi and Yun Zhilan were also teachers and friends, and Yun Zhilan learned a lot from Hu Nianzhi. These are the human feelings and sophistications that he has never learned from his childhood on the top of Genting Mountain. β
Hu Nianzhi still hid Yun Zhilan in the dark room in his study. After getting along with each other day and night during this time, Hu Nianzhi discovered many advantages and disadvantages of Yun Zhilan, this young man is very reckless and does not look for routines, these are his shortcomings, but his nature is very simple, there is no city government, he is hard-hearted and soft-hearted for the population, he is very smart, and the way he handles things is different from ordinary people, and he has his own rules of conduct. The main thing is that he is not a cruel person, he is upright. He's a good guy with a bit of a temper. This temper seems to have been carved out of the same mold as when he was young. β
"With the approach of the martial arts conference, there are more and more heroes in Yunmeng Villa, and the whole manor is becoming more and more lively, these heroes who are full of rivers and lakes have come to this Yunmeng Villa from all over Kyushu, these days the heroes of the South China Sea and North China and a Yunmeng Villa naturally can't fit so many people, and those who can spend the night in this Yunmeng Villa are those who are famous and famous in the rivers and lakes, and the famous masters are at the level of martial artists, as for some young heroes who have just entered the rivers and lakes, they are famous, or the famous rangers on the rivers and lakes are arranged in the inn that is still some distance away from the villaγ For a while, all the famous people in the entire rivers and lakes gathered near this small Yunmeng Villa. β
"These martial arts masters who came from all over the world are almost the backbone of the entire martial arts, and among them are mixed, there are both righteous immortal masters and evil path leaders, and during this time, there have been a lot of large and small conflicts near Yunmeng Villa. Some famous and upright fledgling heroes also came to participate in this martial arts conference. It can be said that within a radius of ten miles near Yunmeng Villa, those good players on the rivers and lakes have reached two-thirds. I'm afraid that the ones who didn't come are some hidden sects, or old monsters who have been famous for many years!"
"A large part of these fledgling decent disciples have participated in the round-up of the ghost thief Yun Zhilan, although they are all famous in the rivers and lakes, but there are few people who can do this kung fu! Otherwise, they can't let this ghost thief Yun Zhilan escape from under their noses again and again, Yun Zhilan grew up in Yunding Mountain since he was a child. Even in the Easy Sect, he is also the top existence among his peers, how can these juniors who have been cared for by the elders in the sect since they were young catch the Ghost Thief Cloud Lan!"
