Chapter 24: Wanqing Pavilion
The water steward took Shen Xingluo into the innermost private room, and the sign on the outside of this private room was blank, without any handwriting. After entering, the furnishings inside are also very simple, a table and a chair, and there is a "moonlit bamboo forest map" hanging on the wall, and there is no one.
"Shen Daoyou, please follow me. Shui Wuwu turned sideways slightly, and said to Shen Xingluo, who was following her and rolling his eyes to look around.
Is there any other way here? But she didn't see any place on the snow-white walls that could be a door, except for the painting hanging on the wall, and maybe there was a doorway behind the painting?
However, instead of lifting the picture as she had imagined, the plumber passed through the empty wall next to the painting.
Yes, a wall that looks no different from other walls, if it weren't for the water steward who didn't hesitate to pass through, Shen Xingluo would never have thought that there was a hidden door here.
Behind the door was a not very long passage, and after a few steps, the plumber pushed open a door and went out. Shen Xingluo followed out, and his eyes suddenly opened up, and what came into his eyes was an ingenious garden.
There is a rockery in the garden, the clear and crystal spring water gurgles down from the rockery, converges into a small stream at the foot of the mountain, the stream winds and extends into the strange flowers and plants, and looks like a silver snake under the reflection of the moonstone.
There was no bridge over the stream, only a protruding stone in the middle of the water, on which was placed a huge pot of evergreens. This pot of evergreen is several times larger than the largest plant outside, with wide leaves hanging down on both sides.
They stepped directly on the wide leaves and crossed the stream to a small building. The small building has two floors and is exquisite. Blue brick glazed tiles, the four eaves are raised high, the doors and windows are finely carved and polished from the hands of the master at a glance, and the hollow window lattices with complex patterns are pasted with azure painted lotus pattern window screens, through the thin window screens like cicada wings, the interior scenery of the house can be faintly seen.
"Childe, Shen Daoyou is here. The water steward stood in front of the small building and saluted respectfully.
Shen Xingluo thought that the other party would let him in, but there was no sound in the room for a while. She couldn't help muttering in her heart, this person's shelf is quite big, and it took so much effort to lure her over, and she had to give her a dismount first.
Hmph, if it weren't for Zhou Licheng, why would she stand here and passively accept this humiliation. While thinking about it, she made a note of Zhou Licheng in her heart, hoping that Lu Yaozhi could really send him back well, and it would not be in vain for her "hard work".
Outside the house, the moon and stars are scarce, and the faint grace of flowers and plants can be seen, and the brightly lit small building is exquisite and brilliant.
After waiting for a while, Shen Xingluo heard the door squeak open. What made her strange was that it was not a handsome boy or a delicate little maid, but a person who was wrapped in a black robe and whose face was hidden deep in his hood.
Is this man a son? It's strange that he is so tightly wrapped from head to toe in his own room, but there is something unsightly about him.
Just when Shen Xingluo was secretly wondering, that strange person had quietly walked past them and drifted away. Passing by Shen Xingluo's side, Shen Xingluo smelled a strange pungent smell and couldn't help but hold his breath.
What is this man doing, the smell is so bad.
"Miss Shen, please come in. A warm and mellow voice came from the pavilion, which made the cool summer night seem a little more intoxicating.
The water steward took a few steps back and motioned for Shen Xingluo to go in alone. Shen Xingluo put his thoughts about the man in black just now, smiled and walked steadily into the attic.
Through the beautiful light of the room, I saw a man in a big red robe lying on the beauty couch, his black and bright hair spread out on the couch like fine brocade, supporting his snow-white neck with one hand and carrying a jade pot with the other, and the crystal wine fell into his mouth obliquely.
After drinking more than half a pot, the man squinted at Shen Xingluo with half-squinted eyes, and said with a smile: "Miss Shen, please take a seat." ”
The Yangming Lane on North Street is inhabited by a group of people who first settled in the natural city, including immortal cultivators and mortals. The ancestor of the Zhou family was a far-sighted monk, and in the early days of the city, he lived here with his pregnant wife, and after tens of thousands of years, he naturally became the original inhabitants here.
Lu Yaozhi instructed the spirit beast car driver to get to the alley easily, paid the money to let the coachman leave quickly, and the two paper men obediently carried Zhou Licheng to stand in front of him.
"Put it down. "Lu Yao's way.
Hearing the command, the paper man let go of his hand without hesitation, and "poof" Zhou Licheng fell to the ground so straight and straight without warning, and a stream of dust scattered from all around him.
Zhou Licheng snorted twice, his limbs just twitched, and there was no response.
"Uncle Shi, shall we leave him here?" Bai Yunfei asked, didn't Uncle Shen promise that Uncle Shen would definitely send people back to the Zhou family, there is still a short distance from the Zhou family, just leave it here, will Uncle Shen be angry if he finds out?
Although Xiang'er didn't like this little uncle who caused trouble for his senior sister, but in line with the words of his senior sister, he must listen to his senior sister's words, and immediately put his waist into Lu Yao's way with a fierce attitude: "Senior brother, you promised my senior sister." ”
"Isn't this almost there?" Lu Yaozhi said casually, and at some point there was an extra black cloth bag in his hand, and he shook it casually.
"If you don't arrive, you don't arrive, and you can't get a step away. Xiang'er pointed to the gate of the Zhou family not far away, and her words were solemn.
Lu Yaozhi heard the words "tsk" twice, and said to Tang Wenxuan: "Look at this girl, this posture, this appearance, the mascot's demagogic ability is good again." ”
"You ......" Xiang'er pointed at him, so angry that his willow eyebrows were upside down, and his big watery eyes were covered with a layer of mist. Senior sister is so good, it is because she is willing to listen to her senior sister's words, so she is not bewitched.
Lu Yaozhi said this as if her senior sister was some kind of demon girl, and she used an unsightly demon law on her, which was simply a great insult to her senior sister.
Tang Wenxuan hurriedly grabbed Xiang'er's hand and pointed at Lu Yaozhi, and whispered a few words of comfort to her. Bai Yunfei also ran over and "muttered" a few words, but his eyes still kept hovering between Lu Yaozhi and Zhou Licheng, and his intuition told him that his little uncle was not such a good talker.
"It's really not funny," Lu Yaozhi looked at Xiang'er, who was about to cry angrily, and turned around boringly and said, "Your senior sister asked you to listen more, watch more, and learn more, then you should study hard." "Say no more to her.
Xiang'er's tears almost rolled down, and she felt very aggrieved.
Seeing this, Tang Wenxuan hurriedly said: "You just hurry up, you are not allowed to use your divine sense in the city, what if someone comes over and bumps into it?"
"If you see it, you see it, and I'm afraid that it won't happen. Lu Yaoyi said nonchalantly, and with a flick of his hand, the black cloth bag fell on Zhou Licheng's head.
I saw that the bag seemed to be conscious, and it automatically put Zhou Yongcheng's head on it, and tied a knot at his neck very intimately.
"This ......" Bai Yunfei was stunned, what does Uncle Shi want to do, look at this posture, is it to put a sack under the black hand?
Bai Yunfei clenched his little fists excitedly, guessing whether Uncle Shi would serve with a stick next, or simply and rudely punch and kick directly.
Xiang'er's stomach full of grievances also froze for a while, her little mouth moved, and finally she stopped talking, looking at Lu Yaozhi's eyes couldn't help but beat in anticipation.
Only Tang Wenxuan took two steps back slightly, stood at the entrance of the alley, and looked left and right vigilantly, making sure that no one noticed them.
