False propaganda, tricked me into cultivating immortals

Shen Wu couldn't figure out whether the word "no" was negating his words or saying that he was really unhappy, if he asked again, he would definitely be annoyed, so he had to swallow all the remaining words and watched him disappear in the outside the door.

Nothing to do but sit in meditation.

Zhou Lian just drove away all the people who came to serve, saying that there were too many people, and the chattering made his brain hurt.Although this courtyard is only for him to live in, its scale is not small—it is much larger than the residence of the three of them, master and apprentice, in Quming.Beauty is very beautiful, but right now the master is falling asleep, and there are occasional voices floating in the ears from a distance, which are endless, making this place more and more quiet, as if isolated from the world.

Shen Wu closed his eyes, and heard the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, the sound of petals falling to the ground, and the sound of insects.After sitting in meditation for a while, I felt empty in my heart, and entered the meditation at the fastest speed in my life.

"Shen Wu."

This sound fell in his ears, as thin as a mosquito, but like spring water breaking through the solidified ice, Shen Wu suddenly woke up, floated on the surface of the water, and returned to the world.

It seemed to have rained, and there was fresh, moist water vapor in the air. The sun was half-hidden behind the clouds, and the light that sprinkled it blurred out a circle of light, and there was a person standing under the circle of light.

When he opened his eyes for a while, Shen Wu still had double images in his vision, but after he collected himself, he realized that the person was Zhou Lian.

He has already changed into a suit of clothes, probably bought by a servant at a clothing store. They don't fit very well, they are a little too big, and his waist is a little thinner in comparison. It makes Master Zhou, who looks at people with his nostrils, look like a sick and weak man. literati.

Zhou Lian originally came to ask him to have lunch, but when he saw someone woke up by him but didn't answer him, he gave a "tsk" in his heart, walked a few steps closer, and called him again: "Shen Wu."

The confused eyes of Shen Wu who had just woken up from the dream came to him: "Brother?"

Zhou Lian was satisfied when he got a response: "Go eat."

As it got closer, Shen Wu realized that although this person had gone to rest, his complexion was not much better.It doesn't mean that his eyes are blue and his face is pale. Just from the appearance, he is no different from usual.

It's just that the eyes are calmer.

The brand-new clothes did not add any joy to him.

Returning to the hometown where I have been away for a long time, so peaceful, I am actually unhappy.

Zhou Zhai held a family banquet for Zhou Lian to clean up the dust, Zhou's father was also present, and there were many side members, it was very lively.

Mrs. Zhou also brought out Young Master Tuesday. He was a soft-faced young man, lively and cute, but Shen Wu secretly looked at him several times, but he didn't see any resemblance between him and Zhou Lian.

Looking at the too young and beautiful Mrs. Zhou, Shen Wu seemed to understand something.

Zhou Lian pinched his arm under the table, and asked via voice transmission, "What are you looking at?"

Shen Wu didn't stop talking for a moment: "Eldest brother's mother is very young."

Zhou Lian frowned: "That's my stepmother."

He was a little worried, and followed Shen Wu's gaze to look at his stepmother, she was indeed beautiful, not like someone who was nearly thirty years old and had a son in his teens, but like a girl in her twenties or eight years.

He took a sip of his soup, thinking that Shen Wu was seventeen this year, and had been living with him and his master in the small dilapidated courtyard in Quming before. It was better to live in seclusion than to live in seclusion, so he finally recognized a master uncle, who even became a Taoist priest. He didn't have much chance to get in touch with the woman, so his behavior at this moment was understandable.

Can……

Isn't this too distracting?

Putting his stepmother status aside, his appearance is not as good as his!

Zhou Lian kicked him: "Be more disciplined."

Shen Wu withdrew his gaze, and looked at him hesitantly.

After the banquet was over, the two returned to the small courtyard in silence. Zhou Lian hurriedly said "rest early" before turning around.Shen Wu stopped him:

"Eldest brother, why is your face so bad?"

Zhou Lian answered irrelevantly: "Stay away from my stepmother."

After speaking, he strode into the bedroom and closed the door with a bang.

Hearing this sound, Shen Wu felt that his senior brother seemed a little irritable today, and he refused to speak properly.

Even though I seldom speak well at ordinary times.

And that Mrs. Zhou...

Shen Wu hesitated for a while, he came to be a guest at someone else's house, he ate others and lived in others, he did not bring any benefits to others, instead he speculated about the hostess, he couldn't justify it.

However, when Shen Wu recalled Mrs. Zhou's voice and smile, that feeling of something wrong came to mind again.He couldn't tell what was wrong, at first he almost thought that she was also a monk, but after looking carefully at night, he didn't think so.

There was an aura about her that made Shen Wu extremely uncomfortable, not because of the sense of oppression caused by her cultivation base being much higher than that of Shen Wu. When it comes to the sense of oppression, among the few pitiful monks Shen Wu has met so far, there is no one It was stronger than Yun Xiechen's sense of oppression, but he had never felt this way when facing Yun Xiechen.

This uncomfortable feeling, if I have to describe it, is more like an opposition from the source.

As for what it is like, Shen Wu, who has never been to the cultivation world, can't tell.

He also thought of Zhou Lian's indifferent and straightforward attitude when he saw Mrs. Zhou.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Wu opened the door.

He didn't know where Mrs. Zhou lived, but it was not difficult, and after a while, he was behind a maid who was carrying a bowl or something.

Mr. Shen Xiaolang has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he has always received a gentleman's education. In his 17 years of life, this is the second time he has done such a sneaky thing that goes against a gentleman's words and deeds—the first time was picking that pomegranate for Zhou Lian—unavoidable He was very nervous, knowing that the monk was "different from a mortal maid", so he would definitely not give away his traces, but he still ran into the rockery and strange rocks several times in a guilty conscience, which didn't startle others, only frightened himself into shock.

He arrived at Mrs. Zhou's residence without any risk.

Mrs. Zhou did not live with Zhou's father, but also lived alone.It was very strange that when Zhou Lian was greeted at the door during the day, she was followed by a group of maids and women, and the scene was quite grand.The small courtyard where she lived was empty, and the servant girl left after delivering the things.

Shen Wu paced back and forth in the strangely deserted courtyard.He could sense that Mrs. Zhou was not threatening to him, and he could also probe into the details without alarming others.But this is a woman's residence, and his strong thirst for knowledge can't let him easily overcome this barrier in his heart.

The surrounding area gradually filled with mist, Shen Wu frowned, that uncomfortable feeling came to his heart again, he hesitated for a moment, and finally took a step forward.

It's just one step too.

Someone walked the remaining 99 steps for him.

Shen Wu looked at the figure who jumped down the roof lightly, and couldn't recover for a while, until the man walked in front of him and flicked his forehead with his fingers:

"Silly?"

Shen Wu was in pain: "Eldest brother." Why are you here?

Zhou Lian passed him with his hands behind his back and walked outside, saying, "Let's go back first."

When he arrived at the residence, he didn't go back to his bedroom, but walked into Shen Wu's room very naturally, glanced left and right, saw no chair, and sat down on the bed without any rules.After settling his lazy bones that had no place to rest, he began to train his junior:

"What were you doing just now? Visiting women's boudoir at night?" It was only after she said that that she realized that Mrs. Zhou was married, and her place was not considered a boudoir.

What do you mean, visit a woman's boudoir at night?

Shen Wu thought that this word was not used properly, and retorted: "I don't."

"Oh," Zhou Lian agreed with him with a cold face, "No, I'll 'have' if I come later."

Before Shen Wu could speak, he said again: "I'm sorry for disturbing you."

It was the first time that Zhou Lian said such words to him on such an occasion.Shen Wu was in a complicated mood, feeling that his senior brother seemed to have misunderstood him, so he said, "Eldest senior brother."

The elder brother interrupted indifferently: "Don't call me."

Shen Wu: "I..."

Zhou Lian glanced at him with a cold look in his eyes: "Don't talk."

All right.Shen Wu cooperated as quietly as a chicken.

Zhou Lian considered his words, and solemnly called his name: "Shen Wu."

Shen Wu responded: "Huh?"

Zhou Lian suddenly said in displeasure, "If you make any noise again, I'll sew your mouth shut."

Let it go.Shen Wu secretly sighed, completely quieted down, stood with lowered eyebrows and listened attentively to the elder brother's lesson.

Zhou Lian pondered again, and said, "Brother is not an unreasonable person."

Shen Wu was taken aback when he heard the words, and found that the senior brother might not only have misunderstood him, but also... didn't understand him that well.
