Cold Mountain Bells to Passenger Ships

As soon as Qin Su and Zhonglidao returned to the inn, Zhonglidao took the door latch and said with a serious and worried face, "Take off your clothes and go to bed."

Qin Su's entire ears turned red, and a lot of shameful thoughts came to his mind, did he know?How did he know?Does he think I'm very... so what... No matter what, I won't use this method to detoxify!I'd rather be stabbed to death!

When he got excited, he just typed out his thoughts. Zhong Lidao took off his coat and hung it up, looked at him and said, "I forced you out of the poison, why stab yourself? Don't always deal with problems in this way, I think." It hurts."

As he spoke, he pressed Qin Su onto the bed, sat cross-legged behind him, and pressed his palms on his back full of scars. The scars pierced his eyes, and he quickly held his breath, Qin Su Su felt intermittent pain in his abdomen, and an itchy and numb feeling on the tip of his heart was forced back by a cloud of cold air. The two of them were surrounded by purple mist. Zhong Lidao closed his eyes and focused on transporting spiritual power. Qin Su began to feel dizzy. He gritted his teeth tightly, and a mouthful of deep red blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. His vision was dark and he fell forward. Zhong Lidao, who was behind him, grabbed him back to prevent him from hitting the bedpost. Leaning in his arms.

Zhong Lidao wiped his sweat off, covered him with a quilt, stretched out his hands to trace his eyebrows, and whispered as if telling himself: "Brother Qin, I'm willing to do anything you want to do to me, and I'm willing to do it. "

Qinsu slept peacefully. He raised his hand and turned off the light and lay on the outside, holding his pulse door with one hand to check the situation from time to time. He didn't fall asleep until Qinsu's pulse stabilized in the early morning.

Qin Su was awakened softly by Zhong Lidao. He sat up and took the towel hanging beside the washbasin to wash his face, changed his clothes and adjusted his appearance. He felt that everything was back to normal except for the abdominal trauma. Zhong Lidao told him Add a bowl of fish and egg porridge, and said, "How do you feel? Do you still feel unwell?"

Qin Su said: "It's okay, thank you Li."

Zhong Lidao gave him a pig's blood cake with chopsticks and said: "It's fine, San Niang will pick us up in a carriage later, Emerald Valley is about three days away from here, you are sleeping in the car for a while."

Holding the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, Qin Su couldn't follow the style of the king's biography, and said with his lips: "Why is there a pig's blood cake in the morning?"

Zhong Lidao went to the kitchen in the backyard of the inn by himself early in the morning, and Chef Wang had just woken up to boil water and a hot pot!Seeing this distinguished guest with an extraordinary temperament, he quickly asked him what he wanted to eat. Zhongli thought that Qin Su's injury needed to be repaired, so he asked him to cook three cups of pork blood cake, scrambled eggs and fish porridge.

Zhongli said: "Please prepare it in the kitchen, drink it slowly and be careful not to burn it."

Qin Su took a piece of pork blood cake, saw a small pile of peanut powder sprinkled on the side of the plate, and said with his lips: "Is this for dipping?"

Zhong Lidao drank porridge with deep-fried dough sticks, soaked shredded pie into small pieces and said, "Yes! It's delicious when dipped in this way, try it?"

Qin Su took a bite, and the sticky and full texture of the pig's blood cake filled his mouth with the sweet taste of peanut powder. He couldn't help but said silently: "It's really good!"

Zhong Lidao pushed the whole plate to him and said, "Finish him, wait for the medicine."

Qin Su held his hand and said, "Okay, I really don't know what to do without Ah Li, thank you."

Zhong Lidao pinched his palm and said softly, "Thank you, you are all mine now, how could I watch you get hurt."

Qin Su couldn't help but leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. After the two had finished their breakfast, Sanniang stood beside the carriage and waited for them, drinking salty soy milk. The beautiful woman in the dark purple cloak couldn't help but strike up a conversation with her, and offered her a bowl of hot soy milk and fried dough sticks for her to eat. The waiter couldn't help but peek at her while cleaning the tables and chairs. Seeing that it was the carriage from Houxian Mansion, they took a lot of their own goods and wanted to take them back to Sanniang. Sanniang declined several times with a smile, unable to stop the enthusiasm of everyone, and brought many new products and pastries as usual Native products are placed on the carriage.

Put the luggage and equipment on the carriage and head towards the Emerald Valley. This time, the Immortal Contest hosted by the head of the Danyang Altar, Yue Baichuan, is mainly to plan the distribution of the Emerald Valley's spiritual veins. The Tianxiao Sect is located in the northwest, so they basically don't care It is too far away for them to manage this land boundary, so they just send a representative to congratulate the future owner.

Shui Yunzong Hong Zhien didn't have much interest in this, so he also helped to make a point like Tianxiao School. Lushan Fengmen's business is divination, astrology, Qimen Dunjia, and Emerald Valley is located in a low-lying area, so it is not suitable for expansion. For Zhongli Tao said that this piece of land is suitable for planting, so he decided to take it.

All the people who came here this time were prominent figures from the Immortal Sect. The news that Houxian Mansion decided to take over had spread, and most of the people came to congratulate Houxian Mansion. Optimistic places to reshape, the effect is very good, such as Tianwaitian, which was once burned, there is a retired imperial chef with excellent craftsmanship, and each dish is prepared by combining seasonal ingredients and customer tastes. Now it is a famous restaurant. It’s hard to find, the broken Gexian Bridge is now the most famous scenic spot in the south of the Yangtze River. Anyone who has not been to the Gexian Bridge in the south of the Yangtze River has never been to the south of the Yangtze River. Zhong Lidao’s work is more successful than anyone else. It is very suitable to be handed over to Jiangdong Houxian Mansion.

When they arrived at the Emerald Valley, many immortals from the sky went there with their swords, and even more people rode horses and cars. After all, this is not a downtown town. However, the vermilion emerald building was built according to the slope of the terrain, with towering mountain walls on both sides, and a lookout tower in all directions at the bottom. On the middle building city, there is a flag of Danyang altar with black script on a green background.

Danyang altar disciple Zhong Ren and Zhong Li led the other juniors to receive distinguished guests from all walks of life. Zhong Ren looked at the roster and checked the list of gifts. Zhong Li was at the side to roll the name. In the main hall, other people enter in order of generation. Qin Su and Zhong Lidao sit on the right side of the main seat. They sit on the top platform. There is a white marble railing in front of them. Even sitting in their seats, they can see the scene below , the broad four rows of long tables extend all the way to the gate.

Various dishes are placed on both sides of the column, and guests can take them by themselves, including roast wild boar, fire-roasted roe deer leg, steamed yellow croaker, sea cucumber and shark's fin, pepper beef tenderloin, fresh shrimp stinky tofu, pumpkin with egg yolk, pineapple beef tenderloin, braised sea bass, Corn cakes, escargot stuffed meat, plum peanuts and other sumptuous delicacies, desserts and fine wines were also set up on a large table, and Sanniang stood behind them to help pour the wine. Zhong Lidao never liked to be served by people outside his residence. Li Nian said: "Tianxiao sent Jiange to hold the afternoon, Liantan Lang Yingjie!"

Walking in front was a handsome young man, Hong Wu, wearing an apricot zodiac robe.

Thick eyebrows, big eyes, bright eyes, light brown eyes, brown hair combed neatly and high ponytail with a black belt standing up, a coarse cloth suit with a leather armor on the left shoulder, a belt on the chest passing under the armpit, tied on an iron ring is iron gray Half of the cloak waist with Jiupeng sword.

As soon as he saw Zhonglidao and Qinsu, he waved happily and said, "Brother Zhongli! Dumb brother! It's great to meet you here!"

Hung Wu nodded to Qin Su, and Qin Su said, "Hello."

Zhong Lidao felt tired when he saw Lang Yingjie's extremely excited state, so he sent him away after a few casual greetings, followed by Lu Shanfeng's family Lu Weiran and Yao Ze who bowed their heads and played the introduction version all the way, Lu Weiran wore a seven-star sword on his waist , the poor matching sword was obviously repaired by Chu Zijing, he pushed the single-sided brass lens, and gave the Danyang altar disciple who was hit by Yao Ze a sideways glance, which startled him, with a look of "my family!" If the child is walking, you get the hell out of my way!" It's like protecting a calf.

Shang Yuan and Chen Yijie were sitting at the back. Shang Yuan glanced at the distinguished guests sitting there. Chen Yijie was waving at Qin Su from a distance. His face darkened and he continued to look down at the file, turning a deaf ear to the noisy and lively occasion. .

The master of Wanjiabao Wanbao wore night cherry clothes, and Qiandeng also changed into Wanjiabao school uniform and followed a gentle and beautiful woman. When Yao Ze saw her, he bit a roasted chicken leg and walked over with a wine bowl. Qiandeng's mother He bowed his head and said a few words to her, Qiandeng waved his hand to signal that he would go over.

The two children sat together and chatted. The head of the Acacia Fang Shangyuan and Chen Yijie arrived on time. When Chen Yijie saw Sanniang, he smiled at her. Sanniang smiled at her, and brushed a strand of hair to her ear Finally, Zhongli asked her to sit, and she sat behind them.

Many juniors and female relatives cast admiring and admiring eyes on Zhonglidao. Qinsu saw that Zhonglidao was very used to being watched by thousands of people, and he was not at all uncomfortable eating and drinking. Passing by Zhong Lidao several times back and forth, pouring wine and taking cakes, playing with each other and looking at him with fiery eyes, Qin Su couldn't help but teased: "A Li is very popular!"

Zhong Lidao propped his head on one hand and looked at the hall below where people were coming and going. There was a man with a sable fur on his shoulders and a pair of muscular chest muscles on his upper body. The servant behind him brought him a glass of wine, but he pushed him back and refused. Next to them, there was a frail man poking a plate of tofu with his head down. He poked the tofu into holes, and a bowl of iced snow lotus was placed next to them. , and no one paid attention to these three people.

Zhong Lidao heard Qin Su tease him and shook his supported hand, with his fingers hanging on his chin, he tilted his head and looked at him and said, "Brother Qin is jealous?"

Qin Su helplessly smiled and said no, his lips felt cold, Zhong Lidao reached out to wipe off the wine drops on Qin Su's lips, licked the finger with the tip of his tongue, and said lazily, "Well, this wine is really delicious." sweet."

Qin Su pursed his lips, lowered his head and pretended to study the jade cup with the red bird spreading its wings. Seeing that he ignored him, Zhong Lidao raised his chin with one hand and forced him to meet his eyes, saying: "Why? Just ignore me after flirting." Your Majesty? This is not acceptable!"

Qin Su said helplessly: "Where did I flirt with you?"

Zhong Lidao stared at him with an affectionate smile in his eyes, Qin Su held up an emerald jug to cover his face with Zhong Lidao, then bowed his head and kissed his lips, the aroma of wine, peach blossoms and the lute playing Wrapping around the two of them, others looked up and saw that they were very close, as if they were whispering behind the emerald jug, Qin Su stroked the back of his head with one hand, Zhong Lidao grasped his lapel with his left hand and held the tabletop with his right hand wine glasses on.

Qin Su first separated his eyes and looked at him deeply, Zhong Lidao lightly bit his lower lip and said in a low voice: "You are the only one who is jealous and refuses to admit it! Jealousy!"

Qin Su put down the emerald jug and smiled, and said, "Whatever you say is what you say."

Zhong Lidao was sweet and happy in his heart, and his smile was even more elegant, attracting more girls' attention. Yue Baichuan turned from behind the huge screen on the stage, followed by Zhong Ren, and a burst of gilt and bronze bells jingled, All the distinguished guests raised their glasses when they saw the host entering the venue.

Yue Baichuan said: "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to the banquet. Today, I would like to thank the Tianxiao Sect and Wanjiabao who came from afar. Please respect them first."

Qin Su raised his glass to Lang Yingjie, Lang Yingjie showed deep dimples, smiled like an older child and said loudly: "Hahaha! The wine glass I hold is actually milk! I can drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk!"

Hung Wu was already too lazy to stop the little junior's out-of-control and out-of-order behavior. He nodded and toasted frequently in a dignified manner. The master of Wanjiabao and his wife returned the salute dignifiedly. Qiandeng followed her parents and clapped their hands. His father led Fan Er, making faces at her to trouble her, Qian Deng put his index finger on his lips and pointed at his father, Master Wan Bao looked back and she immediately put on a solemn expression, Yao Ze laughed out loud while eating brown sugar eight-treasure porridge.

Yue Baichuan added another cup and said: "This cup is to congratulate the owner of Houxian Mansion Zhongli for accepting the Emerald Valley. From now on, the villagers and people here will thank you for your care!"

Everyone raised their glasses and faced Zhong Lidao. Qin Su saw the man in sable fur bowed deeply respectfully below him. He wanted to kneel down on one knee and be pulled up by the nervous looking servant. The man was still sitting without getting up, as if he was watching a hypocritical performance, with an inexplicable and bitter smile on his sideways eyes, his tears streaming down his face, he felt that he was not at a banquet but at a funeral.

Zhong Lidao was condescending, and the aura of a king leaking from his bones could not be covered by anything outside. He held the wine glass with three fingers in his right hand, and swung the palm of his left hand up to the man in sable fur. Stand up straight, with a tall figure showing a strong chest.

Zhong Lidao pursed his lips and said, "This place is full of aura, and it is remote and inconvenient for transportation. However, if bridges and roads are built here, it will be convenient and beneficial to the people. In the future, there are still places that need you, please take care of them."

Yue Baichuan went down to exchange greetings with all distinguished guests. He walked to Lu Weiran and started chatting with him. Yao Ze felt bored and finished spinning his wine glass. Qiandeng saw his parents chatting with other people about border trade. After chatting with Yao Ze, Lang Yingjie ran to the stage and asked Qin Su, "Do you have any news about my master?"

Qin Su said: "Sorry, not yet."

Lang Yingjie was a little disappointed and picked up the kebabs on Qinsu's table, swallowed the meat slowly, and shook the toothpick up and down. Qinsu was afraid that he would poke his throat, so he reached out and took off his toothpick.

Lang Yingjie shook his knees with one hand, smiled with deep dimples on his cheeks, and said with a childish air, "If there was such a banquet in the past, my master must have attended on behalf of the Tianxiao faction. I love to come to such a crowded place, and the head of the sect has been in poor health recently. I could do it by myself, but Senior Brother Hong Wu insisted on coming with me. , I was yelled at by the senior brother when I plucked the radish, so if it grows, it will be plucked by others!"

Qin Su listened to him talking about what he was playing recently, Zhong Lidao was surrounded by many congratulators, while he was being congratulated, his eyes continued to focus on Qin Su, and the man in sable fur looked up at Lang Yingjie, Lang Yingjie never pays attention to people and affairs other than his master. He is very close to Qin Su, and it is because Qin Su promised to help him find his master that he won all his attention except for his master. The man next to him was tugged at his sleeve by the servants next to him, and he looked up at Lang Yingjie, who was laughing next to Qin Su, before turning around and leaving the lively main hall, disappearing among the coming and going crowd.

Yue Baichuan's right foot is inconvenient, he couldn't hold a cane when he was giving a speech just now, he looked too weak, now he's all right, Zhong Ren quickly took the birch wood cane and handed it to the head, he talked with Lu Weiran for a while, then walked away with a limp Come here, Sanniang has been replaced here to hold the wine for the owner of the small owner.

Emerald Valley "Cuihua Niang" is very famous. It tastes smooth and mellow. The price of a jar of out-of-the-valley wine starts from [-]. , everyone is pouring "Cuihua Niang" as a joke. If you don't drink the famous wine that doesn't cost money, it will be sold at a high price. You must drink enough!

Zhong Lidao lets Sanniang go against a hundred with one, and pours five altars of "Cui Hua Niang" by herself, stunned by the wretched men who want to make fun of her, Zhong Lidao gets rid of them, sits back beside Qin Su, Lang Yingjie Immediately, I felt that Qin Su was boring. He didn't know how to chat at all and just smiled politely. Lang Yingjie didn't take the stairs, but turned down from the stage directly, causing several female disciples who passed by to exclaim that Hung Wu was talking with Zhong Zhong. Li said, when he saw this uncontrolled little brother, he quickly came over to teach him a lesson: "There are stairs, why are you jumping around like this?"

Hung Wu glared at him angrily, but Lang Yingjie ignored him and jumped over the long table, with his left foot a little bit, head and feet up and down like a bird rolling in the air, when he turned over, he picked up two pieces of osmanthus cake and stuffed them into his mouth, : "Look at my double peng flying in the sky!" Others hurriedly moved away with their wine glasses, and the people standing at the table were unlucky enough to be spilled all over their bodies.

Hung Wu forcefully smiled and said to Zhong Li, "I'm sorry, but my little brother likes to play around and is very naughty, I made you laugh."

Zhong Li stood crookedly and said: "Haha, it's nothing! In the past, a friend of my family's head was really naughty and put hot sauce on the table of the master of Chu Pavilion. You should really see the expression of the master of Chu Pavilion at that time. That's true." Wonderful!"

Hung Wu knew the personality of his own pavilion master best, so he said with shame: "Then is he still alive?"

Zhong Li took a sip of wine and said grimly: "He's gone, just disappeared out of thin air like this, even the body can't be found."

Hung Wu shuddered, he was a little dizzy after being poured seventeen or eight cups in a row, and said in random words: "Stop talking, I feel like Pavilion Master Chu is lying in ambush outside and wants to destroy us at any time. Don’t talk about it, it sounds scary and scary.”

He waved his hand indistinctly. Zhong Li saw that his body was tilted and knocked over an empty plate. He quickly grabbed Hong Wu and helped him to sit down. Lang Yingjie was the only one present who didn't drink. He took the bowl and drank the No.15 bowl of millet porridge. The big pot of millet porridge was prepared for him by Yue Baichuan. It was convenient for him to put an iron pot behind his seat.

Lang Yingjie sat by the bucket by himself and poked his head in to scrape out the leftover porridge from the bottom layer. When he saw him bury himself in the food box like a bird, the millet porridge dripped on Lang Yingjie's body. An iron pan on his head looked very funny, Qiandeng, who wanted to drink some porridge, saw him fall off the table, and reached out to help him pick up the iron pan. Yao Ze stood beside the five grilled sweetfish and a big Boiled wild rice balls in a bowl of water, he went directly to get the glutinous rice soup and said, "Damn you like millet porridge so much, you can drink such a big pot of unpalatable food by yourself, I really admire you!"

Lang Yingjie said: "This millet porridge is delicious, you don't know if it's good if you haven't tried it!"

Yao Ze threw away the spoon and said, "I'll eat all of you!"

Lang Yingjie said: "I've only eaten a few bowls and I'm done. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there is any more."

He was extremely efficient, and he walked towards the gate while talking. The other disciples who delivered the dishes saw him rushing out of the gate in a hurry. Qian Deng picked up the spoon and said, "How much does he like millet porridge? I haven't seen him eat it yet." I keep drinking porridge for other things, isn’t this just ordinary porridge?”

Yao Ze chewed the sweet glutinous rice soup and said, "Who knows, seeing him feels like my IQ will drop by half."

Qiandeng said: "Wait for the head of Yue Yue and the others to go to the Emerald Terrace to hand over the spirit vein map and the land deed to Zhongli, do you want to go and have a look together?"

Yao Ze said, "Do you still want to eat?"

Qiandeng put down the plate early and said, "I don't want to eat."

Yao Ze said: "Then go and have a look! Anyway, idle is idle."

At this moment, the rest of the main hall are the juniors who continue to eat and drink. The other elders, such as Master Wanbao and Lu Weiran, have already gone to the Jade Terrace. The two of them headed to the Jade Terrace together after eating and drinking. There are about ten people in the audience. In the afternoon, the people from Wanjiapu, his wife, Lu Weiran, Sanniang, and several disciples of the Danyang Altar, Zhong Lidao held the qin Su Wan and went up to the Emerald Terrace. Your boundaries."

Zhongli said: "You are also from Houxian Mansion, so naturally you want to be with me, why don't you help me take care of this land from now on?"

After listening to Qin Su, he had to lead him to the stage silently. Yue Baichuan seemed to be completely unfamiliar with Qin Su. The person who went to Hanshan to talk to Qin Su that night seemed to be very strange to him now. Qin Su was very puzzled, Yue Baichuan looked at Qin Su and then at Zhong Lidao, obviously wondering why he was brought up.

Zhongli said: "He is me...he is from the Houxian Mansion..." The last two words were still embarrassed to say, Qin Su typed: "I am the son-in-law of the Houxian Mansion, I just watched from the sidelines." Good master, don't worry about me."

Yue Baichuan looked up at Zhong Lidao, and he nodded to show that he was right. Zhong Ren brought out a tray with a scroll sealed with gold thread and three yellow talismans, and a long wooden box. The talisman was surrounded by golden mantras, Zhong Lidao grasped the scroll, and the gold characters surrounded the palms of the two people, Yue Baichuan said: "Repay all the courtesy, God listens to it, today's Emerald Valley, the full authority to transfer the Houxian Mansion, all sects of immortals The door took this as evidence and handed it over to Yue Baichuan."

Zhongli said: "The recipient is Zhongli."

Zhongren said: "Licheng, play music!"

After a bell rang, Lu Weiran pushed the glasses and said, "Congratulations to the owner!"

The rest of the people followed to congratulate, Qiandeng and Yao Ze watched Qin Su stand on the emerald platform, Yao Ze said: "The Taoist priest looks different from before, he feels much more energetic."

Qiandeng said: "People feel refreshed on happy occasions? Is that what you say?"

Yao Ze said, "Who is getting married?"

Qiandeng said: "I'm just talking about it. Recently I heard that Houxian Mansion is preparing a wedding banquet. It is said that someone is getting married. It is so grand. I think it is probably Zhongli's own wedding."

Yaoze immediately became interested when he heard the gossip, and said: "Zhongli is getting married? With whom? I don't know which lady he is with? Or a man? I always think he likes the Taoist priest, it can't be him Are the two going to get married?"

Qian Deng said: "I don't know, does the Taoist priest seem like someone who will get married? And they are both men!"

Yao Ze saw Qin Su and Zhong Lidao holding hands intimately, exchanging words, Zhong Lidao kept looking at him from time to time, Qin Su had never been here before and wanted to be held by Zhong Lidao, Yao Ze said: "It's hard for me to imagine which girl Zhongli is with, I guess it's the Taoist priest, what do you think?"

Qiandeng rubbed his temples and said, "I don't know, I'm not interested in this kind of gossip."

Zhong Ren was flipping through the gift list, looking for a gift for Hou Xianfu. Yue Baichuan was helped down by Zhong Li with a white birch cane. Qin Su told Zhong Lidao about meeting Yue Baichuan in Hanshan a few nights ago. Let’s briefly talk about the content of the conversation that night. Now Yue Baichuan seemed to not know him at all, Zhongli said: "Do you still remember how Yue Baichuan walked that night?"

Qin Su thought for a while and typed: "He sat on the tree at first, and then he came down from the tree when he talked to me... He seemed to be... left footed at that time! Why is he now right-footed?"

Zhongli said, "It wasn't Yue Baichuan that night."

Qinsu looked at Yue Baichuan with some surprise, he was talking with Lu Weiran, Yaoze sat beside him and took out the knowledge edition and lowered his head to play, Qiandeng smiled when facing Qinsu.

Zhong Ren was standing at the corner of the Jade Terrace to find the handover ceremony. Just as he was about to turn around and step off the stage, a cold arrow shot out from the east side of the mountain wall. Mi Gao's emerald platform fell down!

"Zhongren!"

Zhong Li was taken aback when he saw this, and everyone was stunned. Qin Su and Zhong Lidao looked at each other. Whether it is business or marriage, apart from the fact that the Tianxiao Sect is located in the northwest compared to other fairy sects, and that Pavilion Master Chu hates the demons deeply, and Jiange disciples follow suit, most people have no distinction between the normal contacts with the demons. After all, after a hundred years, except Those who have succeeded in cultivating immortals, the juniors only read about the battle between immortals and demons when they were studying, but no one thought that there would be a surprise attack by the demons at this moment!

A lot of black-clothed ghost-faced men gradually appeared in the crevices of the mountain wall. There was a tall man on the east side of the mountain, with a sable cloak on his shoulders, a circle of thick and expensive fur covering his chin, his upper body showing a piece of strong chest muscles and abdomen, The belt fluttered in the wind, and Jin Ji stood beside him holding a crossbow with a serious face.

The man's voice was like the sound of a distant and heavy horn, and he said with the sound of gold and iron horses: "Today you all have to die!"
