Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Evening Breeze Is Slightly Cold
"What's that?" Jiang Lili asked the old man in charge.
The old man explained with a smile: "Didn't you say that the Villa has now become the world of young people? There are quite a few young martial artists who come to the Villa to practice martial arts, maybe it is a certain young martial artist who has made a move by practicing martial arts." ”
Jiang Lili frowned slightly, "Old man, don't lie to me, can this young martial artist be a peerless genius?" The sword sound just now came from the top of the mountain, and it was still strong when it came here, which young martial artist could have such ability?"
The old man was stunned and shook his head helplessly, "Maybe it's not a young martial artist." ”
Jiang Lili squinted slightly.
Seeing that Jiang Lili's face was not very good, the old man in charge had no choice but to explain: "It is true that there are many young people in the villa, but recently the villa has gathered a group of masters, and the reason is not good to talk to you more, just to say that this movement should be caused by these people." ”
"Can't tell?"
The old man nodded.
Cheng Ru was in his mind, and suddenly remembered what the old man said first, and asked in surprise: "Mr. Fangcai, you said that in addition to some troubles in Guishan Villa, isn't it the reason why you can't talk about it well?"
"This... ”
After seeing the old man's face, Cheng Ru knew that he was not wrong, so he went out of his mind, "What trouble? Could it be that there are ghosts and ghosts in the villa, and its cruel methods have killed hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled? Or is Guishanzhuang being approached by the enemy, and the time when millions of corpses are ambushed is just around the corner?"
Cheng Ru said more and more boundless, the old man smiled bitterly again and again, interrupting Cheng Ru yes's words, "The villa has always been kind to people, where can such a thing come out of the son's mouth?"
Cheng Ru looked suspicious, and silently confirmed his conjecture in his heart.
If this word spreads, it will be so bad that the reputation of Cuiyun Villa will be ruined, and the old man in charge has no choice but to explain the reason for the matter to Cheng Ru one by one.
It turns out that the current owner of Cuiyun Villa has three daughters and no son. The three women are all as beautiful as flowers and have different temperaments. His eldest daughter thought that he was a wife, and now that the second daughter has reached the age of marriage, the owner of the village is looking to choose a wishful husband for his second daughter, which is also one of the reasons why many young children come here.
But what is difficult to do is that because the two girls have beautiful appearances, they have aroused the covetousness of a fox demon, and they must accept these two daughters as concubines.
The shemale has a different path, and because of the nonsense of this fox demon, if his second daughter does not marry for a long time, wouldn't it become the obscenity of Cuiyun Villa in the ears of others, and his second daughter has already become the forbidden body of this fox demon?
Where is this called Cuiyun Villa's face?
After knowing this, the owner of the village was furious and wanted to kill the fox demon to cut off the thoughts of his two daughters. But where did he know that this fox demon was not shallow, and his whereabouts were strange, and he couldn't help him get half a point when he came and went. The owner of the village had no choice, so he had to hold a son-in-law conference, and invited many masters to guard around Cuiyun Villa, just waiting for the fox demon to come to the door, and he wanted to knock it out of its original form in one fell swoop!
And this is also the reason why the little guy needed to inform the boss that he was willing to allow Jiang Lili and his party to enter this villa, no way, although the fox demon was not strong, but his trickery was very annoying, if he was asked to blend into the villa, he would lose the opportunity.
After listening to the words of the old man in charge, Cheng Ru was amazed, "Have you ever seen what that fox demon looks like? Is there a tail on the back of the buttocks, and two erect ears on the head, looking fierce and ugly?"
The old man in charge nodded, "It's just a fierce look!"
"Weird, weird!" Cheng Ru turned his head to Jiang Lili and said, "Did you hear it? Ahem, I haven't seen other spirits and demons, and there are no wonders in the world. ”
In the end, Cheng Ru was a little annoyed, "Why do you say that our Great Sui has never seen such a demon? Otherwise, how can I be so out of shape? Like a villager who has never seen the world!"
The old man in charge smiled bitterly again, "The demon is haunting, and it is not easy to harm people, and it is a great good thing not to have it." ”
Cheng Ru didn't listen to the old man's words, and suddenly asked, "By the way, when will the son-in-law recruitment conference be held?"
Jiang Lili sneered, "What's the matter?
Cheng Ru snorted, "Where do I have such thoughts? Doesn't it mean that the fox demon must be going to show up at this recruitment conference? I just want to see the methods of the fox demon!"
The steward smiled and said, "It's time for you to come, and the recruitment conference will be held the day after tomorrow." If the two sons have ideas, they should not participate. Even if it's not for the sake of being a son-in-law, it's not a bad thing to be able to compete with all kinds of young talents. ”
"Makes sense!" Cheng Ruye's mood was very high, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Lili and asked, "Why don't we stay in this villa for two more days?"
The Yin envoy was in a hurry to return to the underworld, and coughed vigorously after hearing Cheng Ru's words.
The old man in charge glanced at the envoy in a little surprise, and Cheng Ru hurriedly said, "He has some problems in his throat, and it is also the root of the disease left under that fire." ”
The old man nodded, and his eyes softened a lot when he looked at the Yin Envoy, even with some sympathy, "Sure enough, it's a poor person." ”
Cheng Ru echoed the old man in charge and said a few innocuous words, and then turned his head to look at Jiang Lili, "Anyway, we're not in such a hurry, right?"
Jiang Lili felt something in her heart, so she said, "Then stay here for a few more days." ”
Cheng Ru is face showed joy, and after walking a few steps, he remembered one thing again, and asked tentatively at the old man in charge, "How many are we?"
If people stay in Guishanzhuang, they should not cause trouble to Guishanzhuang, right? ”
"How dare you do this?" the old man in charge interrupted Cheng Ru's words, "A few distinguished guests have come from afar, and they have not been negligent in not picking up the dust for the two sons, how can they dare to use this to collect money from the two sons?"
At the end, the old man in charge added: "Although the villa does not have much reputation, it is better than the vast and sparsely populated area, the rooms are available, and the food of the two sons can still be afforded. ”
Cheng Ru laughed and squeezed his eyes at the old man in charge, "You old man is really smart, right!"
。。。。。。
It took half an hour to walk on this Yellowstone Road before he could reach the main gate of Cuiyun Villa, and the old man in charge really still had some foundation, and his face was not red or panting all the way, but Cheng Ru gasped for breath, his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and his mouth couldn't stop complaining, "What kind of place is this? What are you doing to build this mountain villa so high? It's really a small life!"
The old man in charge just smiled happily, "Now that I have brought you to this villa, I will go back to take care of all kinds of things, old man." Then he asked this little guy to take you to the guest room to rest, and if you want to wander around this villa, just call your subordinates. ”
Cheng Ru still did not return to his normal color, holding a pine tree next to him with one hand, and waved his hand to the old man in charge very weakly, "Cheng Chengcheng, thank you for leading the way, you don't have to bother the old man in the future." ”
The old man in charge nodded, and slowly disappeared into the green shade along a small path, and the little servant who had been following the two of them led Jiang Lili and his party to walk from a wide avenue to the depths of the villa.
Halfway up the mountainside is really much cooler than the foot of the mountain, Jiang Lili originally had a layer of fine sweat on his forehead that quickly disappeared as soon as the cold wind blew, and he turned his head to look at the scenery of this mountain villa.
This little guy led the way and introduced: "The villa is not big, but it is not small, but it also occupies hundreds of acres of land. The villa can be roughly divided into three places, one is the Jinseju for guests, located on the east side of the villa, and the other is the residence of the owner's family, including the study, the collection, the sacrificial pavilion and so on. Although it is not a forbidden place, but if the two sons do not get permission, it is better to go less; another famous Dongtai, said to be Dongtai, is actually a general term, all kinds of gardens, pavilions, martial arts arenas are complete, the scenery is pleasant. It's evening at this time, and if the two sons are interested in tomorrow, they can go to the east platform to see how many young students and beauties there are. ”
Cheng Ru looked left and right, and suddenly saw a tall tower in the shade of greenery, and was a little curious, "Where is that tower?"
The little guy glanced in the direction of Cheng Ru is finger and explained: "This tower is famous as Yunling Pavilion, which is at the top of Cuiyun Villa, and it can be regarded as a hidden pavilion. ”
"The Hidden Chamber?"
"It is that the old owner and the current owner like to collect the world's rare treasures, and over the past 100 years, they have collected about 13,523 pieces, and they are worried about not disposing of them, so they built such a treasure pavilion, and placed these treasures in it for observation and enjoyment. ”
"Can we go in and have a look?" Cheng asked.
The little guy was a little embarrassed, "This is not something that the villain can guarantee, since the two sons are the distinguished guests from the Great Sui, the owner of the village will naturally not be stingy." But the villain is just a handyman, and if he answers clearly, he will inevitably be suspected of overstepping. If the two sons want to enter this Yunling Pavilion to observe, they can call a maid tomorrow to report to the owner. ”
"Naturally. ”
It didn't take long to arrive at the Jinseju that this little guy said in his mouth, only to see all kinds of flowers blooming, green trees and ancient trees stretching each other, and then taking the boundless sky as the back, it really lived up to the three words "Jinseju".
Seeing the surprise on Cheng Ru's face, the little guy smiled, "In order to let the distinguished guests who live here have a full view of the scenery, the old owner specially set up a viewing platform in the south of this Jinseju. On this observation deck, you can have a panoramic view of Cuiyun Villa, and you can overlook all kinds of strange peaks and strange rocks in the distance, which is beautiful. ”
After saying this, the little guy pushed open a room, put Cheng Ruye's package on the table, and said respectfully: "Two sons, I don't know if this room can still enter the eyes of the son?"
"Excellent, excellent, Guishanzhuang is really kind. ”
After seeing the satisfied look on Cheng Ru's face, Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that these two sons from the powerful country of Great Sui would not look down on such a room. It's not that I'm afraid that there will be trouble in choosing a room, but it's just that it is rumored that the residence of Cuiyun Villa is so bad that others can't look at it!
After tidying up the room inside and out, the little guy wiped the sweat beads from his forehead, "It's almost night, and the dinner party has already passed." If the two sons don't mind, the younger ones will send someone to bring food to the two sons, and don't blame the rudeness. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, you can eat it. Cheng Ru is extremely satisfied.
Cuiyun Villa is really rich, the food sent by the maid is more than enough for six or seven strong men to eat, Cheng Ru is comfortable to burp, and drank a few sips of wine sent with the meal, only to feel very comfortable, sighing that he has not eaten so cool for more than a month, it is really an excellent idea to come to this Cuiyun Villa to spend the night.
The Yin envoy was also a little interested, picked up the pot of wine and smelled it, and sighed, as a ghost, he was so unwilling that he couldn't even taste a sip of wine. I couldn't help but think of the yin brew I ate every day in the Ghost King City of the Underworld, and my heart became angry, "Could it be that you really want to see the appearance of that fox demon?"
So it is
"What's wrong?"
"What's so good about a fox demon? It's not a person? Why don't you get on the road quickly, what great things can you accomplish by fishing three days and drying nets one day?"
"You care about Lao Tzu! Jiang Lili didn't say anything, what are you complaining about?"
Letting the two of them quarrel on the side, Jiang Lili remembered the slight throbbing on the Yellowstone Mountain Road just now, and there was some faint feeling in his heart, but it was fleeting, and he couldn't help but get bored, so he walked out of the room and came to the courtyard to breathe.
It didn't take long to hear footsteps behind me, and it was Cheng Ru.
"Stop arguing?" Jiang Lili asked casually.
"Where can he beat me?" casually greeted his ancestors for a few words and ran away," Cheng Ru looked like a high-altitude and unbearably cold man, "Do you want to go to the observation deck to have a look? Didn't that little guy say that the scenery of this observation deck is excellent?"
"If it's so dark today, even if you go to that observation deck, what can you see?" Jiang Lili replied coldly.
"Where is it so dark? I can still see a lot of things clearly!" Cheng Ru retorted: "Besides, this mountain villa is so generous, and it will definitely not be stingy with lamps and candles at night, and the lights are bright, which can be regarded as a beautiful scenery." ”
Jiang Lili turned around stiffly, "I'm not going, I'm going to you." ”
Cheng Ru was angry, muttered an old-fashioned and turned back to the room, thinking that since this was the case, he would go back and eat two more sips of wine, and then drink and sleep to relieve his fatigue.
After Cheng Ru left, Jiang Lili sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, supporting his chin with his hands, leaning against the stone table and thinking about some unorganized mess.
It didn't take long for a wisp of green smoke to emerge from his arms and detour behind him. Jiang Lili didn't look back, "What, you also have to come out to breathe?"
It was Wu Zhou who came out, and he smiled: "After cultivating for so long, it's time to come out and move your muscles." ”
Ghost cultivation was originally the most anti-heaven type of cultivation, cultivation was extremely difficult, after the war in Korea, Wu Zhou's injuries were not light, and now he can recover from his injuries, but the ghost qi on his body is much thinner than before.
"What state are you in now?"
"Third Mountain. Wu Zhou replied.
"Falling out of the realm again?" Jiang Lili frowned.
Wu Zhou chuckled lightly and didn't reply.
The two of them were silent for a long time in the night with the light slightly illuminated, and finally Wu Zhou spoke, "Ghost Mother, what are you going to do with her?"
"She?" Jiang Lili didn't expect Wu Zhou to say this.
"Well," Wu Zhou replied, "Although she turned against you that day, it was just a moment of ghostly confusion." She's actually a poor person, and she's not as vicious as we think, not to mention the battle in the Korean Imperial City, and she gave you a lot of help... ”
Jiang Lili sneered and interrupted Wu Zhou's words, "What? Compared to me, doesn't she want to eat you alive the most? How can you help her talk now?"
Wu Zhou smiled self-deprecatingly, "That time was also my ghost delusion, I shouldn't have swallowed that ghost baby into my stomach, I blame me for this, I don't blame her." ”
Jiang Lili was silent.
"I just don't know what you think of her?"
"Look at her?" Jiang Lili replied expressionlessly, "Didn't you say that, the Ghost Devourer can only be used once in a lifetime, and now she can be regarded as the most loyal one to me, even more loyal than you." Then why should I kill her? It is better to tell her to deal with a strong enemy, and if she is not dead, let her survive, and if she is dead, she will die. ”
Wu Zhou knew that Jiang Lili's words already meant that he wouldn't do anything to the ghost mother, so he smiled. After a while, he suddenly said, "There is one more thing." ”
"Zhang Jiuling?"
"Yes. Wu Zhou's voice was slightly low, "Actually, I already knew that Zhang Jiuling in your mouth was my original master, but I just haven't told you." ”
"When?"
"Probably after the Great Sui, I remember that one day you once said how Zhang Jiuling was, and my heart moved, so I noticed it. ”
Jiang Lili snorted coldly, "Then you really have a heart." ”
Without waiting for Wu Zhou to reply, Jiang Lili said again: "It's just that it doesn't matter, anyway, Zhang Jiuling is dead, and the 'master of your family' has nothing to do with me now, if you know, you know, and it doesn't matter if you don't say it." ”
Wu Zhou laughed again and looked up at the bottomless night, "How long will it take to reach the underworld now?"
"I don't know, but there is still a month or two to go before this trip, and if there are other things on the way, it may be delayed even longer. Jiang Lili replied, "Can't you wait to go to the underworld?"
"I've been a ghost for hundreds of years, but I've never seen what the ghost land that man held up 30,000 years ago looked like, and I was inevitably a little unwilling in my heart. ”
"I don't think you're unwilling, but thinking about my promise before, right?" Jiang Lili sneered.
"What?" Wu Zhou didn't know.
"I said I would take you to the underworld one day and let you go. Jiang Lili turned around and walked into the room, "Don't worry, I will definitely not break my word." ”
"That Yin envoy doesn't seem to have a low status, you can follow him in the future. If he doesn't agree, I'll use another trick to get you to grab one of his handles. ”
Wu Zhou didn't know why.
"You must not be deceived by other ghosts in the underworld. Jiang Lili replied.
Wu Zhou smiled extremely happily.
。。。。。。
The evening breeze on the mountainside was really cold.
