Outside Yuhang Town, seven or eight people, old and young, stood on the pier outside the town, carrying four or five bags and even a basket of vegetables, waiting by the boat to get on the boat. [Read the latest chapter] It’s just that the composition of these people is very strange. There are young men with long swords, mages with Taoist crowns, shrewd philistine aunts, and two fairy-like figures, one big and one small... these People mingled together, attracting the attention of the fishermen on the pier.
"Aunt Li, are you going to the city?" a familiar fisherman boldly asked.
"It's Xiao Lizi who brought his wife into the city." When someone asked, Aunt Li smiled so much that even the few wrinkles she had were smoothed out, her face glowing red as if she was ten years younger. You must know that ever since she brought Xiao Lizi to live in seclusion in Yuhang, she had thought about dragging her nephew and nephew-in-law to show off in front of everyone, and finally made her wait for this good opportunity.
"Oh, that's Xiao Lizi's daughter-in-law?!" Everyone then turned their attention to the two fairies, and after a little distinguishing, they identified the younger girl among them. Seeing Zhao Ling'er's bright eyes and delicate appearance, they couldn't help but cheered, "What a beautiful little lady. Little Plum is so lucky!"
However, Zhao Ling'er seemed not to hear what those people were saying. While turning over the baggage in her hand, she whispered to Xiao Li Zi who was standing next to her. "Didn't you bring the flint? Who knows if you will miss Sutou when you go out. It is common to sleep in the wilderness. How can it be done without fire?... Oh, why did you bring a wooden sword?! It's still made of peach wood... …Do you want to use it to catch ghosts?”
Xiao Lizi was so scolded by the girl in front of others that he blushed and felt very embarrassed. But what the girl said was reasonable. For the time being, he, a reserve young hero, could only listen, scratching his head and ears anxiously. Little did he know that this scene was seen by the people around him. Everyone smiled and said nothing, as if they were looking at a beautiful picture. Everyone seemed to think of the time when they were young and were nagged by their daughter-in-law.
Little Plum is an out-of-the-box person. He still likes to hang out with children even at an advanced age, and he also has unrealistic daydreams - so everyone thinks that he can only be successful if he has a powerful wife to take care of him - a donkey without a bridle. , that’s why Huan’er is so crazy!
"I...I'm going to get the flint from Brother Zhang right away." Li Xiaoyao said with a blushing face. It's naturally too late to go home and get flint now, but fortunately the dock also belongs to Yuhang Town, and there are all acquaintances here.
"Don't go." Ling'er realized that she was being watched by a strong crowd, and her face suddenly turned red. She stretched out a small hand to hold Li Xiaoyao's sleeve. He whispered to stop him from continuing to act foolishly. She was just anxious for no reason, so she couldn't help but make trouble for Li Xiaoyao. You must know that with her current attainments in the Five Spirits Immortal Technique, making a mere fire is nothing, why does she need flint.
This scene is in the eyes of others. Naturally, they looked like a "young couple loving and harmonious". Everyone shook their heads in admiration, and even Aunt Li was smiling from ear to ear. At first, she felt that Xiao Lizi was afraid of Ling'er. He had been avoiding him since he "restored his memory." And she is extremely satisfied with this sensible daughter-in-law! I wish I could cut the little plum in half and hang one on the left and the other on Ling'er's belt...
Among them, Lu Xiaoer's laughter was a little more unscrupulous. He was glared at by his little disciple, and his laughter suddenly got stuck in his throat. It turned into a dry cough. Seeing the tacit understanding between the master and the disciple, the Shuiyue Palace Master next to him smiled with his face covered with picturesque expressions.
Some people laughed and said, naturally, some people were heartbroken.
Under the big willow tree dozens of steps away, the sisters Ding Xianglan and Chunlan, who were hiding behind the tree, saw this scene and cried like tears while hugging each other. The thoughts of the Ding sisters are known to everyone in the small town. Except for Old Man Ding who hopes to recruit a son-in-law and Aunt Li who is dissatisfied with the family, almost everyone thinks that it is good luck for Xiao Lizi to marry any of the sisters... In the simple values of country people, the idle little Lizi is a second-rate son. one type. Looking for a wife requires looking at the smoke from ancestral graves.
Seeing this scene now, everyone sighs for the two sisters.
"Go... persuade them." Zhao Ling'er saw it and couldn't help but poke Xiao Lizi again. She was irritated, and this poke was a bit heavy. Little Li Zi rubbed his ribs with his teeth bared. "But..." he said hesitantly. "Stop it!" Ling'er still looked gentle, but the content of what he whispered was not gentle. "Are you still a man?! Master said that those who make women cry are not good men! Especially those little boys who look like women." Ling'er glanced at him with disdain, yes... that's what he said you!
Li Xiaoyao really feels pain in the balls, I'm very manly, okay? "By the way, who is your master?" At first he thought Zhao Ling'er's master was the Master of Shuiyue Palace, but later he saw that they were actually called sisters. This made him completely confused, and Ling'er curled her lips and didn't answer.
Little Lizi walked towards the Ding sisters obediently, Aunt Li was stunned and a little guilty, Palace Master Shuiyue suddenly realized something, while Lu Yuan and Taoist Lu watched everything calmly, as if they had left this world. people. Not long after watching Li Xiaoyao pass by, the Ding sisters were made to cry and laugh by him. Several people shook their heads secretly in their hearts - these two sisters were stunned by Li Xiaoyao and were really hopeless!
Aunt Li was originally worried that Zhao Ling'er would be sad seeing this, but when she glanced over, she saw Ling'er standing alone by the river. There was a sense of passing away in the river wind, and her heart suddenly sank.
She didn't know that Zhao Ling'er was not looking at the river, but at Lu Yuan standing by the river.
The moment she saw the master, Ling'er's heart suddenly calmed down. Although the master did not look at him, he was talking to the Taoist beside him in a low voice... At this moment, Ling'er already knew that she felt something in her heart. The anxiety...is only related to Master! Aunt Li felt that Zhao Ling'er was charming in her clothes at this moment, as if she were a fairy who had fallen from the mortal world, but she didn't know that in Zhao Ling'er's heart, her master was the real immortal.
The relegated immortal who hides in the city and plays in the world! I don’t know when, the banished immortal will pass away! Thinking of this, she felt a sudden pain in her heart.
"It's been ten years." Lu Yuan didn't see the scene of his little disciple covering his heart. He was looking at the river and talking quietly to Lu Dingbin.
"Yes, Zi Zai Shang said, the deceased is like this! In four more months, it will be ten years!" Taoist Lu sighed. Ten years ago, two people also landed at this pier, and then stayed in this town for year after year. Looking back, it was like a dream. When they first came to the world, one of the two people had chaotic internal breathing and was paralyzed at a high position, while the other was sallow and skinny, with no strength at all. It could be said that they were old and weak and were sick and disabled. At that time, let alone the trouble of finding that person, it would be a problem for them to even protect themselves.
Now ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. At this moment, the two of them are full of energy, walking like smoke, and the inner scene is self-generating. They only have to cross a threshold before ascending. How can they still look like they were able to survive a hundred deaths?
However, after their internal injuries were healed and their spiritual realm reached its peak, it was natural that it was time to find trouble with that great hero - even though the two of them were capable of dominating the world with swordsmanship and magic at the moment, they knew in their hearts that there was nothing they could do to face that man. Any odds of winning.
That man is the only genius who has cultivated immortality and an outstanding figure in China for thousands of years! He was born after the prehistoric times, bucked the trend when the immortal way declined, and once again created a prosperous age of sword immortals! This is also the reason why so many people blindly believe in him - to be honest, that person was born a little later - with his natural appearance, if he was born in the prehistoric times, God might have to list an extra person. saint!
And the time when they were going back happened to be the turning point of the whole world's prosperity and decline. The world could no longer withstand the big upset. If not handled properly, a war will turn the whole of China into ruins, and the entire East may enter the apocalypse of the gods earlier... The situation will even be worse than before! At that time, not only were they not saviors, but they were sinners who harmed, destroyed, and even destroyed the world!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan and Lu Daoshi were both worried, so Lu Yuan did not notice anything strange about their little disciple.
*****
"Let's set off the boat~" the boatman shouted, and several people started to move the large and small packages onto the boat. Mother was worried when her son traveled thousands of miles, and Aunt Li held Xiao Lizi and Zhao Ling'er's hands to encourage them in every possible way. Xiao Lizi nodded like a fool, completely ignoring it, his heart had already flown to the world. And Zhao Ling'er's eyes were wandering, looking for her master everywhere. But when the boat was about to leave the shore, the master disappeared.
"Master~" Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but feel sad. She felt that she had never been so neglected in the past few years. Big tears were in her eyes, and they were about to fall down.
Suddenly a flute sound sounded from outside the wall, floating gracefully on the river. When the sound of the flute reached a high pitch and then fell down, Lu Yuan's clear singing voice could be heard in the distance.
"Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky. The evening wind blows the willow flute, and the sun sets outside the mountain.
At the end of the sky, in the corner of the earth, acquaintances are half scattered, and the remaining joy is spread out in a pot of turbidity. Don't dream of coldness tonight. "
The singing sound spread far along the river, and countless people couldn't help but stop speaking and raised their heads to listen. I only heard three sighs in the lyrics, describing the feeling of separation, which actually made countless people on the pier shed tears. "Master", Zhao Ling'er called out, but knowing in her heart that Master had not abandoned her, she laughed with tears in her eyes.
The boatman swung the oar with a whistle, the bow broke through the gurgling river water, and the river boat gradually left the shore and headed west.
When the boat sailed into the middle of the river and the crowd no longer blocked the view, Zhao Ling'er raised her feet and looked towards where the singing and flute sounds were coming from. I saw Taoist Lu playing the flute and Lu Yuan playing the boat gang song in a cool and unrestrained way, which seemed to be free and easy. The master and disciple's eyes briefly touched across the river. Lu Yuan raised his hand and waved it gently, showing no restraint of a master.
Zhao Ling'er's expression suddenly changed drastically! At this time, countless details that had been ignored before came to mind. Only then did she notice that Taoist Lu and the master were wearing clothes suitable for traveling far away. They each also carried a small package on their bodies. They were obviously going on a long journey! Moreover, the two people standing at the stern of another ship actually left Yuhang at the same time as them.
Following the sound of the flute and song ensemble, the ship sailed in the opposite direction...
At this moment, Zhao Ling'er finally figured out something... "Master!" She burst into tears.
Master, you always make me cry. You are not a good man either!
