On the aft deck.

Zhou Yuansheng and Zhang Yunqi chatted for many days, although the two have a lot of age differences and cultivation, they can talk very well. Zhang Yunqi likes to listen to Zhou Yuansheng talk about the difficult life when he started cultivating the truth since he was a child, and when he is in a good mood, he will tell Zhou Yuansheng about some alchemy. Although he knew that Zhou Yuansheng's life was approaching, he didn't have a few days to live, and it was useless to learn this knowledge. But seeing Zhou Yuansheng's happy appearance, Zhang Yunqi was also relieved.

After all, there was still less wine brought.

Controlling the last drop of wine in the wine jar, Zhang Yunqi looked at the less than half a bowl of wine in front of him, and suddenly felt a trace of depression. He thought that he had already looked down on life and death, but if he really had to face life and death, he would still be unwilling.

Looking up at the passenger boats gathered on the river, Zhang Yunqi said, "Wave City is coming." ”

Zhou Yuansheng said with a smile, "I wish my predecessors a beautiful woman in advance." ”

"Hahaha, I don't dare to think about it. Zhang Yunqi said, "If the bamboo lady is so easy to hold, how can it be my turn." What's more, she is already a heart-warming cultivator, I am not even Jin Dan, if I really hug her, don't be slaughtered by her. ”

Zhou Yuansheng laughed, looked at Zhang Yunqi in front of him, suddenly sighed, and sighed, "The predecessors are very affectionate, and they still don't forget their original intentions for more than 20 years, which is really rare." Thinking about the bamboo lady, even if she didn't invite her predecessors to stay in the bamboo forest, she would definitely treat her with courtesy. ”

Zhang Yunqi smiled, "I hope so." ”

Zhou Yuansheng said again, "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the seniors, the younger generations also liked a woman when they were young." She, like her juniors, is also a casual cultivator, and she used to be a beautiful woman with a good appearance. When she was young, she married a woman, and now, she has become an old woman with a wrinkled face. ”

Zhang Yunqi smiled slightly and said, "Seeing that the people are getting old, it is much better than being on the other side of the sky." Saying that, Zhang Yunqi stood up, looked in the direction of the bow of the boat, and muttered for a long time, "I should be able to arrive in Wave City tomorrow, and I am still a little nervous if I want to see the bamboo lady." ”

Zhou Yuansheng said, "Have your predecessors prepared gifts?"

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her eyes. Zhang Yunqi said with a smile, "What kind of gift has she never received in the years she has been an oiran." Alas......" Zhang Yunqi sighed, no longer spoken, just looked at the river in a daze.

Zhou Yuansheng looked at Zhang Yunqi's back, got up quietly, and went back to the cabin.

Zhang Yunqi stood on the deck all night, and the next morning, he saw the dark shadow of the Wave City in the morning fog from a distance, and then came back to his senses and sighed, "It's finally here." After waiting for a while, I didn't see Zhou Yuansheng reply, and I looked back before I was in a trance.

I just stood like this all night.

Zhang Yunqi laughed self-deprecatingly, clenched his fists, and found that his palms were full of sweat.

The morning fog gradually dissipated, and the Wave City was getting closer and closer.

Zhang Yunqi's mood became more and more nervous, the voice and smile of the bamboo lady were always lingering in his mind, and he seemed to hear the rustling sound of the bamboo forest land when the wind blew......

Twenty years later, she must not remember herself.

The passenger ship soon docked, and the passengers in the cabins were on deck. Zhang Yunqi said goodbye to Zhou Yuansheng, nodded to Lu Ye again, and then went ashore and walked all the way in the direction of Qianhuagang.

Twenty years later, Wave City is still thriving. The majestic and tall city walls, as they did twenty years ago, give people an inexplicable sense of oppression. An endless stream of cultivators came in and out of the city gates. From time to time, you can also see the disciples of the two major sects of Baishan and Heishui, patrolling in groups.

The closer you get to Qianhuagang, the greater the gap between men and women. Most of the tourists coming and going from the direction of Qianhuagang, except for some maids and maids, are men. Some went away on a whim, some went back drunk. Some are elegant, and some are arrogant and extravagant with a lot of money. There is no shortage of shyness in the bag, just trying to please the eyes.

On the endless river, large and small flower boats are either moored at the ferry or floating in the middle of the river. The sound of vocal music one after another, melodious and melodious, goes away with the wind.

Zhang Yunqi did not enter the ferry, but got on a fork in the road.

The fork in the road gradually narrowed, and eventually became a sheep's intestine path.

The road is overgrown with grass, and it can be seen that few people pass by.

Not far away, there was a rustling sound.

Zhang Yunqi's heart tugged.

Bamboo forest, it's almost here.

Zhang Yunqi stopped, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to stride forward.

An emerald green bamboo forest appeared in front of you, some bamboos, and bells were hung, and when the wind blew, it was like fairy music, and it was more than tinkling.

"Someone is coming, stop!" Suddenly, a crisp and immature female voice sounded, "The land of the bamboo forest belongs to private individuals, so please do not enter." ”

Zhang Yunqi followed the sound and looked, and in the bamboo forest, a little girl who looked like a maid came out. The little girl looked at Zhang Yunqi impatiently, and urged, "Hurry up, go quickly." ”

Zhang Yunqi was a little embarrassed, thought about it, and said, "Contemptible...... I'm here to visit the bamboo lady. ”

"I know you're going to see my girl. The little girl said in disgust, "My girl has been in seclusion for twenty years, and she no longer sees any more guests! I have said this countless times, and my mouth is about to be worn out." ”

Zhang Yunqi was stunned for a long time, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

Before I came, I thought about what to say when I saw the bamboo lady for so long, but I didn't think about it, and I didn't see it.

That little girl is just condensing her veins and cultivating, and if she wants to break in, it is not difficult for Zhang Yunqi.

But......

No one dared to make trouble within the jurisdiction of Wave City, and Zhang Yunqi didn't want to do so.

Is it a "visit from the old man"?

Forget it.

The bamboo lady probably didn't remember her "old man" for a long time.

With a sigh, Zhang Yunqi arched his hand at the little girl and turned to leave.

"Your Excellency, stay. A voice suddenly came from the depths of the bamboo forest.

Hearing this voice, Zhang Yunqi's body stiffened suddenly.

It's a bamboo lady!

"Bamboo pole, please come in. ”

It turned out that this little girl's name was Bamboo Pole.

What an interesting name.

Zhang Yunqi was in a good mood and smiled at the bamboo pole.

The bamboo pole snorted a little stupidly and said, "Come in." ”

Zhang Yunqi arched his hand and strode into the bamboo forest. After walking along the path in the forest for a while, my mood began to get nervous again.

The sound of the flute sounded, melodious in the ears.

The breeze blows, shaking the silver bells in the forest, and the jingling bells are mixed with the sound of the flute, which is not interesting.

Zhang Yunqi walked over to the sound of the flute, but saw a small pavilion in the bamboo forest. In the pavilion, a woman in Tsing Yi, facing the river, with her back to Zhang Yunqi, sat on a stone bench. The woman held a green flute in her hand, put it to her mouth, and blew it to herself, as if she didn't know that Zhang Yun was up.

It took a long time for the woman to put away the flute, and said without looking back, "Why don't you come in?"

Zhang Yunqi opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then walked into the pavilion and arched his hand at the woman, "Bamboo lady, in the next ......"

"Sit down. ”

"Uh...... Thanks a lot. ”

"After 20 years, Mr. is still so polite. ”

Zhang Yunqi was stunned suddenly, looking at the back of the bamboo lady, her lips trembled, and she was speechless. After a long time, he said, "Bamboo lady...... Remember?"

"Heh......" The bamboo lady finally turned around, with a faint smile on her beautiful face. "Speaking of which, the level of bamboo trimming by Mr. is the best ...... a little woman has ever seen" Halfway through the words, the smile on the bamboo lady's face suddenly stiffened, looked at Zhang Yunqi, and said with a wry smile, "If it weren't for the approaching limit, I'm afraid you still won't come again, right?"

Zhang Yunqi's nose was sour, and he wanted to cry.

is not sad that his limit is approaching, but he is lamented that the bamboo lady still remembers herself.

Pursing his lips, Zhang Yunqi resisted the urge to cry, trembled his lips, and asked, "After a long time, the girl has always been good?"

"It's okay. Zhu Niangzi said, "Except for almost dying in the hands of Lin Xuantian, everything is fine." ”

Lin Zhentian had seen the matter of the bamboo lady, and Zhang Yunqi heard Zhou Yuansheng mention it. His brows furrowed, and he said bitterly, "It's okay." ”

"Yes, except for being stripped naked, and being forced by him to do something, and talking about how to hook up with men, it's okay. The bamboo lady said leisurely.

Zhang Yunqi's face changed.

The bamboo lady smiled, picked up a teapot on the stone table in front of her, poured a cup of water, pushed it in front of Zhang Yunqi, poured another cup for herself, and then said softly, "Sir, please use tea." Well, don't run away without tea like you used to do this time. ”

......

After eating dry food on the ship for several days, Lu Ye and Lin Zai were a little greedy. It was Zhou Yuansheng who followed Zhang Yunqi to eat and drink spicy food all day long, and his life was comfortable.

"The unfilial apprentice only cares about his own roast chicken and gnaws his mouth full of oil, and he never thinks of honoring his master and wife. Lin Zai held a chicken leg in one hand, gnawing and complaining.

Zhou Yuansheng was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly brought the meat in front of him to Lin Zai and Lu Ye, and said with a red face, "That...... Senior Zhang invited me to eat, and I ......"

"Alright. Lu Ye sneered, "Don't be like your master, she is just a child's temper." Let's eat it quickly, and after eating, we have to buy medicinal herbs. Hmm, that's right, Yuansheng, talk to the counter, open two rooms, let's buy enough medicinal materials, we will directly help you solve the problem, and then play in this wave city for two days when it's over. ”

Zhou Yuansheng agreed, got up and said to the counter.

At this time, in the inn, someone threw a spar at a cultivator sitting on an empty table in a corner, "Sir, come for a while." ”

The cultivator was overjoyed, took the spar, and arched his hand, "Which passage do you want to hear?"

"Of course, it was the most exciting part of 'Lin Antian made a big fuss in Qianhuagang'. ”

"Okay, please. The cultivator said, patted the awakening wood on the table, snapped, and arched his hand to the group of diners in front of him, before he said, "If you want to talk about the forest destroying the sky and making trouble in Qianhuagang, you have to start with the matter of the bamboo lady's retreat." Do you know that the bamboo lady was extremely famous twenty years ago, and she was a master of Yake, and she was willing to spend a lot of money and have a drink with the bamboo lady......

About the past of the bamboo lady, in fact, it is not the point, however, the average storyteller never goes straight to the point, always involves some other things, so that it is better to say some things, so that the customer who pays the spar thinks that it is worth the money.

When Lin heard the storyteller talk about his heroic deeds, he suddenly came to his senses, poked Lu Ye with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "Listen, listen well." ”

Lu Ye smiled and didn't say anything, just listened intently while eating.

"Although the bamboo lady is a dusty woman, she is a person who values love and righteousness......"

That's the old routine. Whether it is a storyteller or a listener, I always like to listen to the jokes of these dusty women who value love and righteousness, and young women from good families often go out of the wall.

"The man who prunes the bamboo is not able to build a foundation, his appearance is average, and his waist is even more shy. He came diligently to prune the bamboo branches for the bamboo lady every day, and did not charge for wages, just to look at the bamboo lady more......"

A poor and ordinary cultivator was favored by a woman who valued love and righteousness, and finally stayed for life...... It's still the same old routine. Lu Ye listened and gradually lost interest, but Zhou Yuansheng looked at the storyteller with a surprised expression.

Zhou Yuansheng heard Zhang Yunqi mention the matter of pruning bamboo with the bamboo lady, and at this time, he thought about it, the man in the mouth of the storyteller could it be Zhang Yunqi?

In the end, the bamboo cutter did not dare to express his intentions, and even did not leave his name, but just left gloomily. The bamboo lady was disheartened, saw through the red dust, and left Qianhuagang and returned to the bamboo forest...... Eight years...... One morning, suddenly the wind blew fiercely, dark clouds rolled, and it rained heavily for seven days and seven nights...... The bamboo lady was resting in the boudoir, but suddenly heard a knock on the door...... The person who came looked like a thief, a monkey with a sharp beak, and a mouthful of black and yellow buckteeth, and his stature was also extremely short, like a dwarf, which could be regarded as extremely ugly, and frightening the ghosts...... This person is none other than Lin Antian, the demon who does all kinds of evil and has a thirst for killing......"

Regarding whether Lin Yantian's appearance is beautiful or ugly, there has never been a unified statement in the rumors of wild history. If you like to tell the story of Lin Antian being "humiliated" by the Demon Heaven Venerable, Lin Antian will be very handsome. likes to tell the story of Lin Zhentian humiliating the bamboo lady, Lin Zhentian will become extremely ugly......

Lin Zaisang's face was red, he turned his face suddenly, and a pair of big black and white eyes, like knives, looked at Zhou Yuansheng.

Zhou Yuansheng sensed a hint of murderous aura, turned his face to look at Lin Zai, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed and at a loss. Why did you offend this little master again? I was stunned for a moment, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind.

Lin Zai's little master is a demon clan, could it be that she is related to Lin Yantian?

Speaking of which, the little master often calls the master "Xiaotian", could it be that Lin Zai is Lin Annihilation?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuansheng secretly laughed at himself.

My imagination is too rich.

Not to mention that Lin Antian is dead, even if he is not dead, Xiao Shiniang is a woman, Lin Antian is a man, and the two cannot be the same person.

However, thinking about the words that I borrowed from Mr. Storyteller and said that Lin Antian was extremely ugly, the master was very angry. Now, when I heard Mr. Storyteller's words, I was afraid that I remembered the past again, so I looked at it murderously. Thinking about it, the little master and Lin Zhentian must have a lot to do with each other - is it Lin Zhentian's daughter?!

Zhou Yuansheng was thinking nonsense, but Lu Ye listened to it with relish. Especially the plot of Lin Yantian's humiliation of the bamboo lady told by Mr. Storyteller is really exciting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is a devil? Murder and arson? In our cultivation realm, there are people who are full of evil, and it is not a problem to kill someone, let alone the demon Lin to destroy the sky?" So, naturally, it's better to do something a little more excessive. The storyteller gritted his teeth and said, "That Lin Annihilation, when he was a child, followed the master Demon Heaven Venerable, and became the master rabbit, this psychological problem is really not ......."

Smack-

Lu Ye heard a voice beside him, and inexplicably thought of the "heartbreaking voice" that Lin Zai had said before, and turned his face to look, but saw Lin Zai crushing a teacup, his little face was full of anger, and his eyes were full of murder.

Laughing secretly, Lu Ye reached out and patted Lin Zai's shoulder, "This gentleman, his eloquence is good, isn't it?"

Lin Zai glared at Lu Ye viciously, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

The storyteller continued, "Lin Xuantian asked Zhu Niangzi to chat with him, everyone, do you think it's just a chat? Before chatting, the bamboo lady had to strip naked......"

The angry Lin Zai glared at the storyteller viciously for a long time, and then suddenly came to his senses.

How can he be angry with an ant?

It's ridiculous.

In the end, it is a master who has failed to ascend, even though the demon heart has begun to wither, but Lin Zai's heart is still very well controlled. She leisurely changed the teacup, poured a cup of tea by herself, took a small sip, and continued to listen to this paragraph "Bamboo Lady Fights the Demon Head". It's just that the elegant tea-drinking action didn't last long, and Lin Zai sulked again.

She felt that this storyteller was like a buzzing mosquito, and there was always an urge to slap him to death.

When the first paragraph was finally finished, the storyteller took a sip of tea and continued with the main story.

"That Lin Xuantian left from the bamboo lady and went straight to the Jade Pavilion...... This leads to a paragraph of 'Lin Annihilation makes a big fuss in Qianhuagang'......"

In a fight, the storyteller is spitting and the diners are dumbfounded.

Because of the wonderful words of the storyteller, the diners were reluctant to leave, and after eating, they naturally ordered tea and listened while drinking. For a while, business in the inn also improved.

"Twelve Demon Skull Seals, how domineering that is! The gloomy and poignant Twelve Demon Skeletons directly beat the Shangshan Sect Master into a falling flower and running away for his life...... "With a snap, Mr. Storyteller patted Xingmu, "I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition." ”

This annoyed a group of diners, and the man who had paid the bill before was unwilling and pestered the storyteller to continue. The storyteller smiled all over his face, "'Lin Annihilation made a big fuss in Qianhuagang' is finished." Next up is 'The Great Devil Sweeps the Emerald Domain'. ”

Another spar was thrown over, and the storyteller accepted it happily, and naturally continued to start.

At this time, Lu Ye realized that he was fascinated by listening to the story, so he forgot about the matter, and hurriedly left with Lin Zai and Zhou Yuansheng.

Walking out of the inn, Lin Zai let out a long breath, turned his face and found that Lu Ye was looking at him with strange eyes, he immediately blushed, and said angrily, "No!

"What's not?" Lu Ye asked with a blank expression.

"You know it!" Lin Zai's eyes were filled with tears.

"I really don't know. ”

"I don't know!"

Lu Ye couldn't help laughing, ignoring the angry and dying Lin Zai, and said to Zhou Yuansheng, "Lead the way in front of the head, let's go buy wind grass." ”

For Wave City, Zhou Yuansheng has been here a few times, but he still understands it, and soon led Lu Ye and Lin to a medicinal herb shop. After buying the wind grass, he used the tray given by the shopkeeper Chen to buy some other necessary medicinal materials, and then returned to the inn.

Close the door of the inn, and then place a ban, Lu Ye asked Lin to refine the puppet pill again.

Lin Zai sat directly on the bed, hugged his arms, and said with a straight face: "I'm in a bad mood!

Lu Ye and Zhou Yuansheng looked at each other, signaling Zhou Yuansheng to leave, Lu Ye closed the door, came to the bedside, sat down next to Lin Zai, looked at her puffed little face, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Look, you are a dignified Heaven Destroying Demon Venerable, there is no need to be as knowledgeable as those weak cultivators, right?"

Lin Zai really comforted himself like this before, but the effect was not very good. Looking at Lu Ye viciously, Lin Zai said, "That's what I said, you are a big living person, but you were bitten by a weak creature like a mosquito, why do you want to shoot it to death in anger?"

"This ......" Lu Ye didn't know what to say for a while.

"I'm going to kill that storyteller!" Lin Zai said angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Ye said, "Let's not say that you can't beat it, kill people in Wave City, how can Baishan and Heishui let you go?" Okay, okay, listen to your husband, don't be angry." As he spoke, Lu Ye pinched Lin Zai's little face and said, "Anger will cause wrinkles." ”

Lin Zai opened Lu Ye's hand in annoyance.

"Good boy. Hurry up and refine the puppet pill, Yuansheng can't hold on for a few days. Lu Ye said.

Lin Zai snorted, soothed his mood, rolled his eyes, and said, "If you're in a bad mood, you comfort me." ”

"Uh, how do I comfort you?"

Lin Zai tilted his head, pointed to his face, and said, "Kiss it." ”

Lu Ye stared at Lin Zai, thinking that he had misheard.

"Don't kiss it!" Lin snorted again, "You want me to refine the Demon Puppet Pill?"

Lu Ye couldn't cry or laugh, hesitated for a moment, leaned over, and kissed Lin Zai on the face.

Lin Zai smiled, looked at Lu Ye, and said, "I'll go for convenience, and I'll refine the Demon Doll Pill when I come back." With that, he ran out happily.

Lu Ye wiped his lips, looked at the door that was closed by Lin Zai, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

What tricks does this little devil want to play? Will he take the initiative to ask for a kiss?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Lu Zhi was a little more vigilant in his heart.

I can't say it, the magic puppet pill she refined, she must take a good look at it, lest she do anything.

When she saves Yuansheng, she must find a way to get rid of this big problem!

......

In the bathroom at the end of the hallway.

Lin took another basin of water and washed his face fiercely, washing it several times in a row, but he still felt a little uncomfortable on his face, as if Lu Ye's saliva was still sticking to it.

Looking at his own reflection in the basin again, Lin patted his cheek again and exhaled.

I have to admit that it is not easy to gain the trust of that idiot of Lu Ye. These days, he has tried to act like a little daughter-in-law, but Lu Ye is still very vigilant. Don't look at his indifferent appearance of giggling all day long, in fact, he is a thing with evil intentions!

A man who spends his days wondering how to kill his wife!

What the hell!

Who knows if he has studied Nanchen Beidou recently, maybe he has already understood why that time to use Yaoguang on himself was ineffective. If he thought of other means, or joined forces with Zhou Yuansheng...... Aren't you going to be finished?!

Put all one’s eggs in one basket!

It's a matter of success or failure!

Looking at his own shadow in the basin again, Lin Zai suddenly smiled bitterly.

If it wasn't for the luck of the year, thinking that he could successfully soar, why did he end up in such a field?
