The hospital was closed. Su Wan was lying on the table holding a lantern with a silver needle, a look of resentment on her face. The old doctor was reading pharmacopoeia books and soaking his feet. There were various aged medicinal residues in the wooden basin, and the water temperature was just right.

With his eyes dim, the old doctor read the pharmacopoeia for a while and then stopped to relax for a moment. Seeing that Su Wan was restless, he said softly: "Girl, why don't you stay in the hospital tonight. The hospital already has a place for you. I People are arranged to clean and ventilate the place every day, and the place is specially smoked with soothing incense. There are absolutely no insects or ants. It is much more comfortable to live in than the place full of kitchen fumes in Tianxia Downstairs."

Su Wan didn't answer, but used a silver needle to make the lamp brighter. The wick swayed, casting a shadow on the table. Su Wan poked the shadow of the lamp with a silver needle and cursed in a low voice: "You little guy who doesn't mean what you say, wait for me." Go back to Wuweilin and tell your aunt that when the time comes, I will let you taste what it feels like to be chased all over the mountain with a burning fire stick."

The old people are all nostalgic, and the old doctor feels sorry for the table. Every needle hurts like a stab in the heart. He has been with his old friend for many years and has treated countless patients with him. He usually cherishes him so much that he cannot bear the slightest bump. He said: "There are so many things going on in the world, and he may have been delayed. Don't be angry. Being angry will harm your health. We, as medical practitioners, pay attention to being calm."

When Su Wan put down the silver needle and lay on the table to exhale, the old doctor was relieved. The footbath water had cooled down. The old man pulled the cotton cloth with his feet and wiped it clean. He put the cotton cloth into the wooden basin to soak in the remaining medicinal effect. Then he sat cross-legged and looked through the pharmacopoeia that he had already memorized.

Someone fell down in the backyard of the medical center. Su Wan twitched the tip of her nose and smelled Jun Bubai's smell among the mixed smell of medicine. She was happy for a moment, but she still resented him for coming late. She pulled her face and lay back on the table.

The old doctor poked his head out of the book, "Everyone is here, why aren't you happy?" While enlightening, he turned his face and nodded towards Jun Bubai who was approaching outside the window. Jun Bubai, who was walking side by side, was dressed in red, which made the old doctor's relaxed demeanor slightly nervous. He jumped off the chair, forgot to put on his shoes, and used Qinggong to escape.

Jun Bubai opened the door and came in. What greeted him was a pack of silver needles, like flowers scattered by a goddess, with little bits of cold light, piercing every fatal acupuncture point on his body.

The middle and index fingers of his left hand flew up and down to catch each silver needle, put them into the cotton bag in order, tied them tightly, and walked towards the table where Su Wan was lying on her stomach.

"You still know how to come." Su Wan shouted angrily.

The moment he raised his head and saw Jun Bubai in red behind him, his arrogance suddenly died down. He shrank under the table like a kitten, tilted his head and said to himself: "Why is she here?"

One thing fell after another, and at this time, the hands and feet were a little unruly.

Jun was secretly happy, snickering where Su Wan couldn't see him, and pretending to be calm, "Stop hiding, I'll take you back."

Su Wan huddled at the corner of the table, hugging the corner of the table and not daring to let go. Her voice was trembling, "I, I, I won't go back. In the past few days, I, I want to study the pharmacopoeia here." Swallowing her saliva, she suppressed her beating. He added: "Yes, I want to study the pharmacopoeia, and I have been living here recently."

Ye Xianzi squatted at eye level with her and asked with a cold look on her face: "I really won't go back!"

Su Wan closed her eyes, afraid of looking into her eyes, and stuttered back: "I won't go back, I won't go back, I want to study the pharmacopoeia."

Jun Bubai sat astride the wooden stool and provoked, "What if you go to my mother and complain that I left you alone in the hospital without any care?"

"I won't tell my aunt, take her away quickly." Su Wan was about to cry.

"Then let's go, you can live here peacefully." Jun Bubai and Ye Xianzi looked at each other and smiled, got up and walked out of the house. Jun Bubai knew in his heart that as long as Fairy Ye was here, Su Wan would not return to the world and go downstairs. If Fairy Ye leaves, Su Wan will have to settle the score for what happened today, so what, at least it will be fun for now.

The two walked to the courtyard. The old doctor, who had escaped with Qinggong, stood barefoot on a bamboo basket. His beard and hair were calm and he was holding a pharmacopoeia in one hand. He greeted Ye Xianzi and said, "Shennong Gusun Miaoshou has met Ye Xianzi."

The old doctor just wanted to escape and didn't see Jun Bubai and Ye Xianzi playing tricks on Su Wan.

Fairy Ye ignored him, pretending to be cold, waving her sleeves, flying to the eaves, looking up at the moonlight.

Jun Bubai clasped his fists, "I'll return the favor for her." This salute was in reply to Ye Xianzi's rudeness, and then he clasped his fists again, "Wanwan was used to being spoiled when she was a child, so you should be more considerate. I'm going to go out in the next few days. She's traveling far away, but she's at the hospital, so please be more considerate."

Sun Miao waved her hand, signaling to Jun Bubai that there was no need to return the gift, "Fairy Ye is a fairy in heaven, and the etiquette in this world is not enough. It's me who is vulgar. As for the little girl, she is the apple of our valley master's eye, so we elders will naturally have to Love the passport whisk.”

"Thank you, junior." Jun Bubai bowed and saluted.

The two exchanged a few words, and the old doctor couldn't bear the cold night and flew into the house barefoot.

Jun Bubai jumped up to the eaves and sighed with a smile: "Your name as Fairy Ye is still very bluffing."

Hongyi turned around and smiled brightly, "You have to pretend to be in front of others. I am the next head of the Love Division. If I can't intimidate everyone, how can I keep the Love Division stable in the world."

Jun Bubai took her slightly cold hand and warmed it in his hand, "Thank you for your hard work. Come back and I'll warm the wine for you to drink."

Fairy Ye tilted her head and smiled, "Have we not competed for a long time? Why don't we compete to see who returns to the world and goes downstairs first? The loser will be punished."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man dressed in red turned into a rainbow and left.

"Aren't you cheating?" Jun Bubai moved quickly with his sword.

In the night sky, there is a red shadow and a line of sword shadows.

Sun Miao put her hand inside the room, knocked on the table twice, turned around and put on her shoes, "Come out, Fairy Ye is gone."

Su Wan stuck her head out and looked around to make sure she didn't see the man in red, then climbed out from under the table and angrily went to take out the silver needle wrapped in a cotton ball on the table to vent her anger.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Sun Miao grabbed the cotton ball and put it into her arms. The table really couldn't suffer any more.

Su Wan failed, and green smoke emitted from her green dress.

Sun Miao opened his mouth and inhaled the smoke. Most of the people in Shennong Valley lived on medicinal herbs and had learned to be immune to all kinds of poisons. This little smoke was nothing to be afraid of. Youyou said: "All diseases can be cured by meditation."

Before she could vent her anger, Su Wan went straight to the courtyard with Sun Miao's hands to stop her. She vented her anger on the wooden baskets piled up in the courtyard for drying herbs. She kicked the wooden baskets hard and waited until her anger subsided. Go back to your room, turn on the light and sleep.

Sun Miao had no choice but to ask his assistant to tidy up the courtyard, and went to the medicine cabinet to prepare a dose of calming medicine so that he could sleep more peacefully at night. He was old and could not bear the trouble.

The fire in the stove in the kitchen downstairs will not go out at night, leaving a small stove alone for simmering soup. For nothing, you took two jars of immortals and simmered them on the stove, then walked back to the small courtyard.

Mingyue stayed in his room, and the two could only spend one night in Su Wan's room.

When Jun Bubai returned from Nuanjiu, Ye Xianzi had already washed herself, took off her shoes and socks and was sitting on the side of the bed. In the competition just now, she was slightly better. The bet was that the loser would pinch the winner's shoulders.

There are two altars of drunken immortals, one altar is placed next to the bed, and the other altar is filled with leaf fairies drinking alone. Jun Bubai rolled up his sleeves and gently squeezed his shoulders, using the kitchen kneading technique.

The acacia button on Jun Bubai's left hand was exactly the same as the acacia button on Ye Xianzi's right hand. She followed this to find him in Wanchun Tower.

After kneading for a long time, Jun Bubai wiped the thin sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and asked curiously: "Is it because of Bai Xiaosheng's beauty list that you left seclusion this time?"

Ye Xianzi drank half of the jar of wine. She hadn't drank for a long time. She was very happy. Her energy and blood were relaxed due to the strength of Jun Bubai's shoulder squeeze. Her face was rosy and she breathed out, "Half of it. The main reason is that she doesn't want to enter the state of selflessness."

Jun Bubai probed: "Why don't you want to enter the realm of selflessness?"

Fairy Ye held the wine jar in her hand and paused for a moment, "Maybe I haven't thought about it yet. My master entered the state of selflessness and never left Jinling. I want to see all the scenery in this world."

Jun Bubai's hand that had been in mid-air fell on Ye Xianzi's shoulder again, loosening her muscles and bones through her clothes, and said with a smile: "When the promise to Bai Xiaosheng is over, I will accompany you to travel around the world. See enough."

Ye Xianzi drank a jar of Immortal Drunkenness, put down the empty jar, and opened another jar. She has a good drinking capacity, and these two jars are just enough to moisten her throat. "If I bump into Bai Xiaosheng again next time, I will interrupt him again." leg."

"Let him go, it's so pitiful." Jun Bubai was worried about Bai Xiaosheng, whose life or death was uncertain. He probably lost half of his life when he fell to the street just now.

On the main road out of Suzhou City, Bai Xiaosheng was sitting on Luo Qing's cart, eating scallion pancakes. His sleeves had a few scratches and were in tatters. A mute slave was pushing behind the cart, with one leg still lame, selling pancakes. Luo Qing, hunched over, followed him to one side.

After walking most of the way, Granny Luo asked, "Master of the village, why don't you find a medical clinic and take a look."

Bai Xiaosheng took a big bite of the scallion pancake, chewed it hard with his teeth, and said vaguely: "No, Yangzhou is the most important thing at the moment. How are the arrangements for the people going to Yangzhou."

Grandma Luo replied respectfully: "We will set off at noon, and the secret sentries everywhere are ready."

Bai Xiaosheng's eyes were fixed, staring in the direction of Chang'an, "I hope nothing will go wrong this time." The next second, he bit his tongue and grimaced.

Granny Luo quickly took a jar of honey from the cart and gave it to Bai Xiaosheng to relieve the pain. "Master, you should go to the medical clinic and have a look. Fairy Ye is not someone you can mess with easily."

Bai Xiaosheng picked up the honey jar and said confidently: "With Fairy Ye here, the chance of winning is higher."

In this year's beauty list, Bai Xiaosheng deliberately put Ye Xianzi at the top of the list, with the purpose of allowing her to get out of seclusion. Youtianxialou, Youqingsi, and Shennong Valley also entered this move. All three families have immortal masters. As a town, Chang'an will be much more restrained, and naturally they will not be the first to suspect Guinong Villa.

As the night grew darker, the three of them disappeared into the twilight.

After a good night's sleep, at dawn, Jun Bubai and Ye Xianzi left Tianxialou and headed to Yangzhou with their swords. Before leaving, he left a secret letter to Lou Wanchun.

The road was boring, with the mountains and rivers winding and receding at their feet. Ye Xianzi first looked at the scenery for a while, then took off a jar of immortal wine from Jun Bubai's waist and drank alone. He doesn’t eat fireworks in the world, but only wine can never leave his body. He brought ten jars of drunken immortals with him when he was traveling, and was tied around his waist by Jun Bubai. Before leaving, he even lamented how easily the Zhang family could travel around the world with a wine jug. What happened to the wine in the jug? The drink is overflowing.

Red sleeves fluttered. In the blink of an eye, Ye Xianzi drank a jar of wine. The jar turned into ashes in her hands and fell with the wind. Jun Bubai handed over another jar and drank wine above the clouds. It was rare in the world. He opened a jar himself and drank with her.

Of the ten jars of wine, you drank three jars, and Ye Xianzi drank seven jars. After finishing the wine, the two of them arrived at the border of Yangzhou.

When he pressed down in a sparsely populated area, he was spotted by a farmer who was out selling vegetables. He fell to his knees and called out that the immortal has come to earth.

The two of them did not waste any time and used Qinggong to fly into Yangzhou City. After entering the city, they first went to Yangzhou Tianxia Tower to wait for those who returned to Nong Villa.

Yangzhou Tianxia Tower is in the south of the city. There are many wealthy businessmen in the south of the city and the crowds are also dense. When the two of them shuttle around the eaves, they can always see the caravans of various merchants, escorted by bodyguards. The words "四海" are most conspicuous on the carriages.

Yangzhou is most famous for two things, beauties and food. The first beauty is Shen Qinglan, the only daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan, Shen Wanjing, and the first one for delicious food is Tianxialou.

The owner of Yangzhou Tianxia Tower is called Su Lingdang, Su Rou's closed disciple, Jun Bubai wants to call her eldest sister.

When the two of them landed in the backyard of Tianxialou, Su Lingdang was chopping ingredients for the lion's head in the kitchen, and the two knives struck the chopping board like musical instruments.

"Sister." Jun Bubai shouted at the top of his lungs in the courtyard.

The sound of the kitchen knife stopped, and a woman in a goose-yellow dress poked her head out of the kitchen. Her appearance was average in Yangzhou, where there are many beauties. Her hair was simply pulled up with a bamboo chopstick, and she wiped her hands with the cotton apron around her waist. There are two bells tied to it, which make a ringing sound when you wipe your hands.

Su Lingdang's eyebrows were curved and she said with a smile: "As soon as I heard someone calling me eldest sister, I knew it was you. Aren't you in Suzhou? Why did you come to Yangzhou?"

While he was talking, he also saw Ye Xianzi beside Jun Bubai. He wanted to take a closer look, but as soon as he met Ye Xianzi's eyes, he unconsciously stepped back. He quickly pulled Jun Bubai aside, pointed at Fairy Ye and asked in a low voice: "Everyone in the world said that Fairy Ye has gone into seclusion. Why did she come to Yangzhou with you?"

Just as Jun Bubai was about to reply, there was a knock on the door in the kitchen backyard.

Su Lingdang looked at Shi Chen and said, "The food delivery guy should be here."

Su Lingdang rang the bell in her hand, and a young apprentice ran out of the kitchen, trotted to the backyard door, and opened the door bolt.

A man wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat came in carrying two baskets of vegetables on his shoulders. The vegetables had just been dug out of the ground, and they were still carrying fresh mud. The man walked briskly and easily carried two baskets of vegetables to the kitchen.

When Jun Bubai passed by, he grabbed the pole. The man dodged easily, turned around, snatched the pole back into his hand, and placed the two baskets of vegetables flat on the ground. Jun Bubai took the sword away, and the man took a few steps back to avoid the sword. The bamboo hat on his head was split open, revealing a dark and weathered face.

"Zhu Sanhuai." Su Lingdang shouted.

Zhu Sanhuai chuckled and scratched his hair that had not been washed for several days. "I thought the disguise was perfect, but I didn't expect that I would be found out as soon as I entered the door."

"The smell of pig shit on you is too strong." Jun Bubai pointed at Zhu Sanhuai's clothes that had not been washed for a long time.

Zhu Sanhuai picked up the clothes and smelled it under his nose. He didn't feel any peculiar smell. "My godfather's daughter has given birth to babies these days, so I eat and sleep with them."

There are many strange things in the world. Zhu Sanhuai was born in the countryside. When a child in the countryside was born, he would recognize his godfather in order to make a living. Zhu Sanhuai was born in the Year of the Pig and his surname was Zhu, so he recognized a boar as his godfather. After Zhu Sanhuai's father and mother died early, he lived with his godfather and never left him when he traveled around the world. Many people who wanted to eat meat against his godfather were killed by him and thrown into the ground to make fertilizer.

Ye Xianzi didn't like such crowded occasions. With a wave of her red sleeves, she flew to the top of the third floor and sat on the eaves to meditate.

Zhu Sanhuai's mouth opened as wide as possible and could not be closed for a long time, "That's Fairy Ye."

Su Lingdang raised his hand and a chestnut hit him on the top of his head. Only then did Zhu Sanhuai come back to his senses. He touched the newly raised knot on his head and cried mournfully: "Little Lingdang, Su Rou never hit me like this back then."

Su Lingdang kicked him, "If my master were here, your head could be used as a ball."

Zhu Sanhuai belongs to Guinong Villa. His appearance in Yangzhou at this moment must be under the instruction of Bai Xiaosheng. Jun Bubai asked: "Did your village owner ask you to deliver the message?"

Zhu Sanhuai glanced at Su Lingdang and did not answer.

Su Lingdang had roughly guessed why Jun Bubai suddenly came to Yangzhou, and said loudly: "I'm still making lion heads in the kitchen, you guys can chat." When passing by Jun Bubai, she whispered: "Don't follow me at Guinong Villa One of Bai Xiaosheng's legs was broken by the master back then. If the master knows that you are interacting with people from Guinong Villa, be careful of your legs."

The sound of chopping sounded again in the kitchen.

Zhu Sanhuai changed his demeanor and had a solemn look on his face. He took out a gray pigeon from his arms and handed it to Jun Bubai, "Secret letter from the owner of the village."

Jun Bubai took the gray pigeon, and the gray pigeon turned into a few lines of small characters in his palm. As soon as Jun Bubai finished reading, the small characters disappeared.

On the eaves, a black spider climbed up to Fairy Ye's skirt and was blocked by the invisible air waves on her body.

The girl in purple clothes was holding one hand on the corner of the eaves, holding a few boxes of rouge in her other hand, showing an envious look, "Sister Ye is still so pretty."

"Why did you come to Yangzhou?" Ye Xianzi spoke first. The black spider crawled towards the purple-clothed girl, crawled from her sleeves to the rouge box, and then began to build a web.

The girl in purple clothes smiled and said: "Young master asked me to come out to play."

Fairy Ye stood up in the sunshine and looked down at the girl, "Jiang Fanyi has entered the realm of selflessness."

The girl in purple borrowed her strength with one hand and flew up to the eaves. The black spider took the opportunity to hide in her sleeves. She opened her hands and let the sunlight shine on her eyes through the gap. She replied cheerfully: "Well, Master, enter the realm of selflessness." Yes. I am the young master’s eyes. The young master asked me to come out and see the outside world for him.”

The sun was dazzling. The girl in purple lowered her head and whispered, "Young Master asked me to bring you a message. My aunt has come down from Kunlun Mountain and will arrive in Jinling soon. It's better for you to enter the realm of selflessness as soon as possible."

After the girl finished speaking, she jumped off the eaves and merged into the bustling crowd.

Fairy Ye turned around and stared at Jun Bubai in the courtyard, but stopped talking.
