Lu Shuihan pushed Zuo Ning, who had taken advantage and pretended to be dead, down on the bed, then straddled his waist, staring at Zuo Ning with cold eyes.
Obviously, Lu Shuihan, who was in shame and anger at this moment, did not realize how fantastic this gesture was.
Thanks to his sensitivity and perception as a Martial Saint, Zuo Ning could feel the softness and shape of Lu Shuihan through several layers of fabric.
…
"How about you come down first?"
As a self-proclaimed gentleman, Zuo Ning was forced to eat tofu, so naturally he felt a little sorry and said to her.
Lu Shuihan, who didn't notice that Zuo Ning's breath was starting to become a little unstable, put his hands on Zuo Ning's shoulders:
"No! Unless you answer me!"
…
"Um?"
Zuo Ning, who was about to say something, suddenly turned to look at the wooden door that he had closed, and then shouted:
"who?!"
Lu Shuihan was startled by his roar, and then slapped him on the chest.
"What are you yelling about..."
?
She thought Zuo Ning was scaring him, so she raised her eyebrows and hit Zuo Ning, but immediately, she also noticed that there was someone outside the door...
"who……?"
After a while, a clear female voice answered them through the door: "Father asked me to invite Mr. Zuo and Miss Lu to visit me. Excuse me, will you come?"
Is it a little girl?
Father?
Invite both of us?
Lu Shuihan and Zuo Ning looked at each other. It was obvious that neither of them understood what was going on.
They had only arrived at this cottage not long ago, only about half an hour. Does it count if the girl's father could pinch her?
Although he couldn't figure out the situation for a while, Lu Shuihan was interrupted like this and instantly realized how strange his current posture was, and he felt keenly...
Zuo Ning's...
The Dinghai Shenzhen seems to be a bit eager to try, ready to go, and it feels like it will stand upright immediately.
…
She is not an ignorant girl, she still has some common sense...
For a moment, the blush on Lu Shuihan's face became a little heavier due to shame and anger, as if it could drip water. A burning sensation that she had never experienced in her life also spread across her delicate little face.
She suddenly lost her temper, remained silent, stood up carefully, and left Zuo Ning's waist.
Seeing her dumbfounded look as if she had been struck by lightning, Zuo Ning thought it was really funny. Of course, he just laughed in his heart and did not laugh out loud.
It seems that even though Lu Xianzi talks very devilishly and acts very decisively, she still acts cowardly in the final confrontation.
"Out..., no, see... not see?"
It can be seen that Lu Shuihan is still in a state of downtime.
It's hard to say anything.
"See you soon."
Zuo Ning still had a spring-like and elegant face, and he didn't seem to care at all about Lu Shuihan's actions just now.
He stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.
Standing at the door was a girl with a delicate face and a temperament like an orchid in an empty mountain, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Her clothes are just simple linen clothes, and there are no exquisite decorations on her body. She looks like a very typical little girl from the mountains.
Although in terms of appearance, this little girl is not as good as the white-haired fairy Lu Shuihan who is down behind her, her distinctive temperament is still unique.
"Excuse me, are you that... Zuo? Oh, Zuo Ning?"
The little girl looked carefully at this noble young man with a peach-like face and a handsome face, and asked in a soft voice:
"That sister behind is Miss Lu?"
Zuo Ning chuckled and asked, "It's us. Did Miss Lin recognize us when we first met?"
"Eh!!?"
The little girl was shocked and looked at Zuo Ning as if she were a monster. Her cute big eyes looked at him from side to side, looking in disbelief.
"How do you know my surname is Lin???"
"Because your father's name is Lin Guang."
Naturally, Zuo Ning had already guessed who invited him and Lu Shuihan.
More than ten years ago, Taoist Xiangtian, Lin Guang, suddenly lived in seclusion.
I had heard of this person when I was a child. According to rumors, this Lin Guang became one of the nine great martial saints in the mouth of the older generation with his hexagram skills.
It is said that he can see into the past and future of the stars, the sun, the moon and all things, and can calculate the future direction of people and events with just a few coins.
In Zuo Ning's eyes, this mysterious and mysterious ability is much stronger than the ultimate martial arts.
Therefore, Zuo Ning still has a relatively deep memory of Lin Guang, an expert, and he also looks forward to him.
It was a spur-of-the-moment decision that he and Lu Shuihan took this road. He only went to the capital to marry the princess after a few days. Even coming to this village to eliminate the bandits was smooth.
In this way, he could accurately deduce that he and Lu Shuihan were in the cottage at this time, so that his daughter would arrive just after the bandits were killed and buried.
Apart from Lin Guang, Zuo Ning had not heard of another such an expert.
With just a slight hint of the little girl's words, he could immediately confirm who the little girl's father was, Lin Guang.
The little girl doesn't know these things that go around in circles. She just thinks that this handsome young man is as capable as her father.
"Then? Are you coming?"
Zuo Ning chuckled:
"Why don't you come? Miss Lin, please lead the way."
Miss Xiao Lin put away the surprise in her eyes, nodded, then turned around and led the way.
Zuo Ning turned around and took Lu Shuihan's white wrist:
"Let's go."
"Oh...? What are you doing??"
Lu Shuihan looked at the held wrist and didn't react for a moment.
"remind you."
Zuo Ning explained seriously.
…
Miss Lin led them around the village and over the mountain along a winding mountain road.
After walking up the mountain for another quarter of an hour, what came into view was an unpretentious small courtyard built halfway up the mountain.
The courtyard is not very big, but it is not very small either. There are three huts in it. In the center of the courtyard are two people, one old and one young.
The old man was sitting on a bamboo rocking chair, looking at the chessboard in front of him with a smile.
The young man on the other side of the chessboard frowned, thinking about how to crack the chess piece left by the old man.
Zuo Ning recognized at a glance that the old man with immortal demeanor should be Taoist Xiangtian - Lin Guang.
But who is that young man? I haven't heard that Lin Guang has a son.
Lin Guang, who was leaning on the rocking chair, waved his hand and said to the young man: "Yun Zhi, you have lost. Go entertain the guests."
The young man did not continue to think about the chess game stubbornly, but stood up convinced and sighed.
"Yes, master."
Then, the young man named Yun Zhi turned to look at Zuo Ning and Lu Shuihan, nodded, turned around and walked into the back of a thatched house.
Lin Guang signaled Zuo Ning and Lu Shuihan to come to him, then stood up and said to them with a smile:
"Isn't it rude to ask my little girl to invite you two to meet me in my humble abode?"
Then he removed the chessboard, took out a tea set from under the table and placed it in front of the two people, and the little girl also took two chairs and placed them in front of them.
Zuo Ning and Lu Shuihan quickly thanked them and sat down at Lin Guang's signal.
"Excuse me, is there something wrong with Senior Lin asking us two to come?"
Zuo Ning asked while looking at Lin Guang who was making tea.
Although the old man in front of him was a famous physiognomist and a martial arts master, he had no airs of an old-timer at all.
Compared to the image of the amiable old man next door, Zuo Ning felt that it was more appropriate to think of him as a chivalrous man who still had an old heart and was still in the world.
"What's the matter? Mr. Zuo thinks that I have invited you, the son of Yanzhou Mu, a high-ranking and powerful martial artist, for what reason?"
Zuo Ning was not surprised at all that Lin Guang could see his true strength. On the contrary, Lu Shuihan was a little surprised that Lin Guang could see Zuo Ning's strength.
"Please enlighten me."
Lin Guang made tea, pushed two cups in front of Zuo Ning and Lu Shuihan, and said with a smile.
"Young Master Zuo is a smart man, and he doesn't speak secretly. It's not for other reasons. I want my apprentice to have a place to display his ambitions in the future."
?
Zuo Ning was stunned for a moment. He was a little confused about what Lin Guang meant by this sentence.
Lin Guang seemed to have seen Zuo Ning's doubts and confusion. He said nothing, but stretched out his thin fingers and pointed at a fish pond at the entrance of the small courtyard.
Zuo Ning followed his finger and looked.
There seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary in that fish pond.
But what Lin Guang was referring to must have a deep meaning. Zuo Ning looked carefully and found that there seemed to be something inside.
In the fish pond, swimming were four herrings and one black fish.
Black carp and black fish?
green……
Does herring refer to...? !
He suddenly turned back to look at Lin Guang, and Lin Guang had already expected Zuo Ning's reaction. He still said nothing and let Zuo Ning continue to look.
The next scene made Zuo Ning fall into deep thought...
I saw five fish that were originally peaceful. Suddenly, one of the herrings began to attack the largest herring, and then the other fish also began to attack the largest herring one after another.
In the chaotic pond, water splashed everywhere for a while, making an uninterrupted "plop" sound.
Just when Zuo Ning thought that the besieged herring would eventually be defeated, the fish that besieged him gave up one after another and continued to attack it. Finally, the entire small fish pond returned to its calm state.
?
"forward……"
Zuo Ning was about to ask something else, but Lin Guang shook his head.
Shhh
There was a sound.
"Whatever Mr. Zuo thinks, then so be it."
Then he looked at the young man who brought the food and said, "This is the young disciple, Gu Yunzhi. Young Master Zuo will take care of the rest. Let's eat first."
Lu Shuihan leaned into Zuo Ning's ear and whispered:
"What does it mean when a few fishes are fighting?"
Zuo Ning didn't answer Lu Zangzang's words. He looked at Gu Yunthi who was busy and fell back into thinking about the scene where the five fishes were fighting for hegemony just now.
When Lu Shuihan saw that Zuo Ning was really thinking about something, he didn't bother him and turned around to chat with Miss Lin.
"May I have your name?"
"Lin Yu."
"Caught in the rain?"
Little girl Lin Yu shook her head and rolled her eyes at her old father Lin Guang.
Lu Shuihan laughed dumbly and immediately understood what was going on.
Senior Lin knows how to give names.
Lin Guang, who was rolled at by his daughter, pretended not to notice, leisurely picked up the teacup and drank the tea.
"Senior pointed out that Wan Sheng is a little confused. The world is peaceful, there are only Rong in the north, and there are foreign troubles from Liao. How can there be opportunities for these herrings to take advantage of?"
After Zuo Ning thought for a moment, he asked Lin Guang for advice:
"From what I saw along the way, I heard that natural disasters in Bingzhou caused people to be displaced. If it is because of this, Black Fish is referring to..."
Lin Guang put down the tea cup and said slowly: "When the herring becomes fat, it thinks that it has strength and wants to replace the big herring. Why is it so fat? Mr. Zuo, think about it for yourself. As for the other question, the secret cannot be leaked, I can't Answer you directly."
Zuo Ning could naturally understand this kind of mystery. Then, he asked the last question.
"Senior, those who fatten herrings are the cause of chaos?"
After Lin Guang heard this, he burst into laughter. Zuo Ning could not see the emotion in his laughter, but only heard him reply leisurely:
"The herring I raised, do you think I am the cause of trouble?"
Then, Lin Guang stared at Zuo Ning, his hearty laughter stopped, and his pair of old eyes still had a clear and calm gaze, stabbing at Zuo Ning like a sharp knife, as if he wanted to peel Zuo Ning away. check it out.
"understood."
"Look more, think more, and think more. When that day comes, my disciple will naturally come to assist you. I also believe in your decision."
After saying that, Lin Guang stopped looking at him and instantly changed back to the old man he had just taken care of.
Zuo Ning was left alone, thinking thoughtfully.
Lu Shuihan, who was chatting with Lin Yu, turned to look at the noble young master with whom he had an unclear relationship, but hesitated to speak.
