Lin Xue, Xiao Longnu and Xiang Yan followed the girl in green clothes towards the back of the mountain. After walking for a while, they suddenly saw a large bamboo forest in front of them. After Xiang Yan entered the green bamboo forest, he smelled the faint fragrance of flowers and felt that all his worries were gone. Walking through the bamboo forest, a sudden burst of fragrance came, and the endless daffodils in front of me were everywhere. It turns out that there is a shallow pond underground, no more than a foot deep, and full of daffodils.
Every four or five feet in the pond is a wooden pillar, and the girl in green shirt who leads the way, with a slightly slender figure, leaps across the wooden pillar. Lin Xue and Xiao Longnu did the same thing, only Xiang Yan's body was heavy and his lightness skills were poor. Although his stride was large, it could not cover four or five feet in one step. After knocking down two wooden posts, they simply waded across the water.
At the end of the bluestone road, you can see a huge stone house behind the mountain in the distance. The four of them approached and saw two children in green shirts holding whisks, standing in front of the door. One child goes in to report, and the other opens the door to welcome the visitor. Not long after, an old man with a long beard wearing a green robe came out of the stone house. This old man is extremely short, no more than four feet tall. He has five mountains in the sky and a strange appearance. The most strange thing is that he has a beard that hangs down to the ground. He is wearing a dark green cloth robe and a green straw rope around his waist. His appearance is extremely strange. The old man bowed his hands slightly to the three of them and said, "How fortunate it is that you are here as a distinguished guest. Please come in and serve tea." He bowed to let the guests go.
"This old man is definitely not Gongsun Zhi. The girl in green shirt thinks that I have no chance to compete with Gongsun Zhi and Li Mochou. If this old man is Gongsun Zhi, I will have a chance - with his appearance, Li Mochou thinks he will look down on him. It's just that we have already arrived at the door, are Gongsun Zhi and Li Mochou still unwilling to come out to greet Lin Xue?" Xiang Yan glanced at Lin Xue, whose face was as gloomy as water.
The old man asked the three of them to sit down at the west end of the hall and said loudly:
: "The distinguished guest has arrived, please see the owner of the valley." A dozen men and women in green shirts came out of the back hall and lined up on the left. The two people who led the way for Lin Xue, Xiao Longnu and Xiang Yan also returned to the team. After a while, a man and a woman came out from behind the screen. The man looked at the three of them, and the woman called Lin Xue, "Master," and the two of them sat casually on the two chairs at the east end. The old man with a long beard stood beside the man's chair with his hands lowered.
Xiang Yan thought to himself, "This woman must be Li Mochou, and the man is Gongsun Zhi." He secretly looked at the two of them.
Li Mochou was seen in her early twenties, wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, waving the fly whisk gently in her hand, speaking softly and gracefully, with a charming expression, fair complexion, bright eyes and white teeth, and peach cheeks with halo, like a belted lady. The rich lady who practices spiritual practice is really an outstanding beauty. Gongsun Zhi was forty-five or six years old, with a handsome face and a dashing manner. He seemed to be holding himself high just by walking out of the hall and sitting down, which made Xiang Yan feel quite ashamed of himself. As soon as Gongsun Zhi sat down, several boys in green clothes offered tea. All the furnishings in the hall are green, but Gongsun Zhi's robe is brand new sapphire blue satin, which looks very eye-catching among the green.
Xiang Yan previously felt that there was nothing wrong with losing to Gongsun Zhi to complete Li Mochou's happiness. But now seeing how rude Gongsun Zhi is, I realize that Lin Xue has the ability to recognize people. If you want to choose a good husband, you must first choose a good man. Can Gongsun Zhi, who has poor character, really become a good husband? If you really marry Li Mochou to Gongsun Zhi, won't you send Li Mochou into a pit of fire? In order to live up to Lin Xue's ardent hope, and to prevent Li Mochou from marrying an unworthy woman, Xiang Yan immediately determined to defeat Gongsun Zhi.
Before Gongsun Zhi could speak, Lin Xue pointed at Xiang Yan and said to Gongsun Zhi: "He is just following you.
A jousting person. There’s no need to say more, you can just do it. "Gongsun Zhi despises Lin Xue so much. What kind of ivory can come out of his dog's mouth and say anything that suits Lin Xue's heart? It's better to let Gongsun Zhi do it directly without opening his mouth.
Gongsun Zhi raised his eyebrows, stood up and walked slowly to Xiang Yan, saying, "Brother Xiang, if you give up the idea of marrying Mochou, I also welcome you to attend my wedding with Mochou as a distinguished guest." Xiang Yan smiled. , said: "It's already come to this point, why are you still talking about it? Just do it." Since it was destined that he could not become friends with Gongsun Zhi, Xiang Yan naturally did not need to pretend to be polite to him.
Gongsun Zhi was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hands in salute and said: "Jueqing Valley is in a remote and poor country. For hundreds of years, outsiders have rarely been seen, and the disciples in the valley have never done anything to others. Today, I am very lucky to come to my brother Xiang. I don't want to fight with you, Brother Xiang, but for the sake of Mo Chou, I have to offend you." Xiang Yan bowed his hand and said in return: "Please." He thought to himself: "You are so polite now, then why did you look down on Lin so much before? Xue? If you were so polite in front of Lin Xue, maybe Lin Xue would directly agree to your marriage to Li Mochou, and you wouldn't have to compete with me!"
When Xiang Yan saw Gongsun Zhi's eyebrows getting higher and higher, until his eyes and eyebrows seemed to be erect, he didn't know which sect's powerful skill it was, and he couldn't help but feel horrified. Gongsun Zhi walked slowly around Xiang Yan, and Xiang Yan also slowly turned his head in place, never daring to leave his gaze. When Xiang Yan saw that Gongsun Zhi was reluctant to take action, he knew that he would take action more fiercely. I saw Gongsun Zhi raising his hands forward three times, and clapping his hands together with a "clang" sound, like gold and iron striking each other.
