However, there is no impermeable wall in the world.

Just when the Zhong family and the Zhuang family tried their best to hide the news of the withering of the lotus, I don't know who leaked the news, and the entire Lingyun Mountain knew the news.

At this point, Murong Yingxue's worries were dispelled.

It turned out that Zhong Jin didn't come for a long time because of an accident at home.

It's no wonder that if something so big happens in the family, who is in the mood to marry.

Yan'er also heard the news.

Unlike everyone, everyone values the news itself, that is, the safety of Lotus, but Yan'er cares about the consequences of the news.

In fact, for so many days, Yan'er has been impulsive countless times, thinking about telling the senior sister what she heard that night, but every time the words came to her mouth, Yan'er still swallowed it raw.

After all, she also loves Murong Feng.

So, in such a swaying from side to side, the geese live like a year.

Now that something has happened to the Zhong family, the senior sister will not marry for a while.

The withering of the lotus flower seems to liberate the geese.

Wan'er and Murong Feng also heard about the lotus, but at this moment, everything in this world seems to have nothing to do with them, as long as they are there, the whole world is there.

The rest, are irrelevant.

However, those who have long coveted the lotus seem to have found an opportunity.

One night, hundreds of people gathered at the door of the village, asking for an explanation.

Zhuang Rusheng panicked and hurriedly sent someone to find Zhong Dushan.

As soon as Zhong Dushan came to the dealer's house, he was surrounded by groups.

"Master Zhong, over the years, we have respected you and believe that you can take good care of the lotus. But now, the lotus flower has inexplicably withered. Tell me, can we not ask for an explanation?"

One of the people in the crowd said dissatisfied.

"Fellow villagers, for the withering of the lotus, our Zhong family and the Zhuang family don't know what's going on. But after all, now that this situation has been achieved, Brother Zhuang and I will definitely be responsible to the end, and we have been looking for reasons and trying our best to keep the lotus. ”

"It's easy to say, for so many years, who doesn't know, the lotus flowers are controlled by the two of you, how many lotus flowers you have eaten, how much your skills have increased, I'm afraid, only you know. Now, such a precious lotus flower has been destroyed in your hands, how can we give up. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, it seemed to be a catalyst that instantly ignited the anger in the crowd.

People started to get irritable and crowded into the dealer's house.

Zhong Dushan tried his best to stabilize the order, but his voice had long been drowned out in the crowd.

At this moment, suddenly a person shouted loudly:

"No one is allowed to come nonsense, be careful that I'm not welcome. ”

When they looked back, it was none other than a little girl who said this.

"Shui'er, how did you come here?" Zhong Dushan couldn't help but ask when he saw his daughter coming.

"Father, if something happens at home, I have to do my part. ”

After speaking, Shui'er shouted at the crowd:

"It is not the responsibility of our two families to wither the lotus, and you are indiscriminately asking the teacher to ask for the guilt, clearly trying to take advantage of the chaos to take away the lotus. Let me tell you, for hundreds of years, the lotus has belonged to our two families, since our ancestors were able to compete to obtain the possession of this lotus, our descendants naturally have the ability to keep this possession. ”

"What are you a yellow-haired girl?" said someone in the crowd mockingly.

"Okay, I'll let you see how good I am as a yellow-haired girl. ”

After saying that, Shui Er drew his sword and cut off the man's hair with lightning speed.

In fact, Shui'er, that is, the original lover girl, is just a mortal and has no martial arts at all.

After coming to the Zhong family, Zhong Dushan and Mrs. Zhong also hoped that Shui'er could live a peaceful and stable life, so they did not plan to teach her any martial arts.

But Shui Er insisted on learning martial arts, and there was no way, so Zhong Dushan taught her some basic tricks.

Later, Shui'er studied hard every day and grew up quickly, and sometimes he was even able to compete with Jin'er.

So, there is the scene just now.

All the people were stunned.

The crowd that was still making noise just now suddenly fell silent.

The person whose hair was cut off felt faceless and was ready to fight back.

Unexpectedly, Shui'er put away his sword, looked at him with disdain, and said:

"Don't be ignorant, I just taught you a lesson. Next time, I will not show mercy, it will be your throat that will be cut. ”

In this way, everyone was stopped by this little girl who was only eighteen years old.

Of course, this also includes Zhong Dushan.

Zhong Dushan didn't expect that his daughter, who had always been weak, turned out to be so strong.

Seeing that his daughter can take charge of herself, Zhong Dushan is naturally very happy, but I don't know why, in addition to this happiness, Zhong Dushan is also a little worried.

What he was worried about, even he couldn't tell.

And just like that, the troublemakers went back in a huff.

Zhong Dushan returned home with Shui'er.

At night, Zhong Dushan lay on the bed tossing and turning.

Mrs. Zhong couldn't sleep either.

"Twilight, are you still worried about the lotus?" asked Madame Zhong.

Zhong Dushan sighed.

"Dusk Mountain, don't worry too much, this is not our family's business, isn't there still a dealer, when the two families work together, there will definitely be a way." ”

"Madam, it's not just the lotus that worries me. ”

"What else?"

"Madam, I told you not to think too much. ”

"Twilight, what else can't we say as a couple?"

"Madam, I know that you have been very happy since Shui'er came back, and I am really happy. However, there's one thing I've been thinking about lately. ”

Looking at Zhong Dushan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Mrs. Zhong was anxious:

"Twilight, you're going to kill me in a hurry, what's the matter, just say it. ”

"Madam, I suspect that the withering of the lotus flower has something to do with water. ”

"What does this mean?" said Madame Chung.

So, Zhong Dushan told his wife what happened at the banker's house today.

"Madam, the lotus flower had buds in advance, and after we asked the prophet to calculate it, it was said that the destined person was coming. Now, the water has returned, and the lotus flower should have opened, but not only did it not open, but withered, and everything pointed to the water. ”

"Why, you don't even suspect your own daughter. "Mrs. Zhong is not happy.

"Madam, don't be angry, I know you love Shui'er, I am the same as you, and I love her very much. But we can't be emotional. ”

"Then what do you say?"

"So, ma'am, you will call the Prophet again to-morrow, and let him do the math. ”

Zhong Dushan said that it also makes sense, even if Mrs. Zhong loves her daughter sincerely, she has to think about it carefully.

"By the way, madam, you must keep this matter secret and not let outsiders know. ”

Madame Zhong nodded.

Early the next morning, Zhong Dushan came to the banker's house early to discuss countermeasures with Zhuang Rusheng.

"Brother Twilight, yesterday's love was really unusual. ”

"However, that is only a temporary measure, and it cannot be delayed for long. We should hurry up and think of a foolproof solution. ”

"But what should we do now?"

"Rusheng, I once heard my grandfather say that in Wanxian Ridge, there is an old man named Mei Wanli. He is proficient in magic, and there is no problem in the world that he cannot solve. Perhaps, we can go and ask Him. ”

At this moment, Mrs. Zhuang, who was standing on the side, also spoke:

"Yes, listening to Brother Dusk Mountain's words, I seem to remember, this Mei Wanli is indeed a god man, when the cotton on the female red mountain suddenly suffered from an insect plague, no one can solve it, and then my ancestor sent someone to invite this old gentleman, and later saved the cotton. ”

"But," Mrs. Zhuang seemed to remember something: "The environment of Wanxian Ridge is sinister, and this Mei Wanli lives in a simple place, and ordinary people really can't find him." Also, this Mei Wanli is very eccentric, and it took a lot of effort for our family to convince him to help us. ”

"Madam, what are the hobbies of this Mei Wanli, or what do he like, and how can we do what we like?"

"This old man doesn't have any hobbies, but I heard that he likes to play chess very much. He was so good at chess that no one could beat him. And only the one who won him could invite him out of the mountain. ”

"It seems that this old man is really difficult to deal with. Zhuang Rusheng said.

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to deal with it. Zhong Dushan sighed.

Later, Zhong Dushan and Zhuang Rusheng agreed that each of the two families would send their own sons, and then invite the old gentleman within three months, and then save the lotus flower, so as to block the mouth of Youyou.

The next day, Zhong Dushan called Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen to the lobby.

"Sons, you also know the situation at home now, now our position can be said to be precarious, if we can't keep the lotus as soon as possible, I'm afraid outsiders will take advantage of the opportunity. Zhong Dushan said.

The two sons also had solemn faces.

"In Wanxian Ridge, there is an old man named Mei Wanli, he is strong in magic and omnipotent, and now it seems that he can only ask him to help. It's just that this Wanxianling Mountain is dangerous and dangerous, and this old man has a strange temperament, ordinary people can't impress him, he likes to play chess, but for so many years, no one has been able to win him. It's not an easy task, but for now, it seems like it's the only way out. ”

After a pause, Zhong Dushan continued:

"After discussing with your Uncle Zhuang, I decided to ask my sons to invite this old gentleman. First, because the Zhong family and the Zhuang family can't be at home without their families, so neither I nor your Uncle Zhuang can leave, and secondly, you have all grown up, and you should have the opportunity to exercise yourself. Your Uncle Zhuang has only one son under his knees, that is, Zhuang Zhongren, and you will go together when the time comes. ”

"Okay, father, don't worry, we'll do our best. Zhong Jin said.

"Father, we are not afraid of the sinister environment, but we are worried that we will not be able to deal with this old gentleman. Zhong Shen couldn't help but worry.

Zhong Weishan also has the same concern.

Suddenly, Zhong Jin said to his father:

"Father, the three of us, in terms of martial arts, the eldest brother is powerful, no matter how difficult this journey is, I believe that there will be no problem with the eldest brother. However, if you want to impress this old gentleman, you must outwit it. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and in my opinion, more people also have more wisdom. ”

"Shen'er, you're right, do you have a choice?"

"Exactly, father, I would like to ask someone to come with us. ”

"Who?" Zhong asked.

"Brother Murong Feng. ”

As soon as Zhong Shen's voice fell, Zhong Jin strongly objected:

"No, it's absolutely not going to work. Shen'er, this is our family matter, how can outsiders interfere?"

"Big brother, Brother Murong is strong in martial arts, and more importantly, he is very smart, he will definitely be able to help us with advice when the time comes, besides, Brother Murong is not an outsider. He was my savior, and I always respected him as a brother. ”

"Brother, Shen'er, I'm your only brother in this world," Zhong Jin said angrily.

"Big brother, I didn't say I didn't recognize you, it's just that Brother Murong is really a very effective helper, and besides, it is inseparable from Brother Murong's help to find Shui'er that day. He really is a person to be trusted. ”

Zhong Jin still strongly opposed.

After all, only he and Murong Feng knew how Shui Er came back at that time.

How he killed Lian'er's grandfather by any means is known only to him and Murong Feng.

Similarly, how he erased the memory of his lover, only he and Murong Feng knew.

If he could, he really didn't want to have any more intersections with this Murong Feng, so that all his faces could be buried in Zhongnan Mountain forever with Lian'er's grandfather.

However, just when he thought that he had really gotten rid of this Murong Feng forever, his younger brother offered to cooperate with him again.

Zhong Jin knew that he must not let such a thing happen.

Just when the two brothers were arguing, Zhong Dushan spoke:

"Okay, okay, don't fight anymore. This Murong Feng, I have always been very curious about him. He rescued Shen'er and helped us find Shui'er, and it seems that he is indeed not an idle person. Just follow what Shen'er said, let him go with you. ”
