Chapter 398: Xianxian Foot Bath, Lin Zhengyi's Story, Dare to Kill My Bear?
In Zhengyang City, outside the Xianxian Building, there was a constant flow of people.
The days when Zhengyang City was once the most popular entertainment venues are now a thing of the past. Since the merger of Dongzhou and Zhongzhou, the situation has been turbulent, the Yue family has amputated itself, and safety has become what all the major forces in Zhongzhou pursued.
With the golden signboard of Longhu Mountain, Zhengyang City is even more abnormally prosperous than when Yi Chen came here three years ago.
Xianxianlou is the reinvented business of 'business elites' from other sects in Dayue who are good at this art in Longhu Mountain. It is said that Xianxianlou has a deep background, and the power behind it is connected with a supreme elder of Longhu Mountain.
Relying on her superb business knowledge and tricky tactics, Xianxianlou, as an outsider, hardened the local software engineering, connected industries with people, and defeated the import and export trade as soon as she arrived in Zhengyang City.
The world is very bad now, the fairy is really in the private room~ At this moment, outside the Xianxian Building.
A down-and-out young man was drunk on the street corner, with a dozen wine jars scattered around him.
Lin Zhengyi was drunk and looked at the colorful building on the other side. He took another sip of wine and muttered to himself, "Xian'er, Xian'er."
Xian'er is a fairy in Xianxian Tower. Ever since the power of Dai Yue shrank to the two capitals, Lin Zhengyi, a hawk in Zhen'an Division, was furious. In a fit of anger, he left Zhen'an Division and began to travel around the world.
By chance, at the invitation of a good friend, he met a female cultivator in Xianxian Tower, the female cultivator named Xian'er.
Xian'er is the simplest and kindest girl Lin Zhengyi has ever seen. Although her cultivation is only at the late stage of refining essence into qi, she only bathes her feet and never does anything messy.
That’s right, foot bathing is also one of the business scopes of Xianxianlou.
This female cultivator named Xian'er accidentally broke into Lin Zhengyi's world, and trapped the young him ever since.
He didn't even know her real name.
It was already late autumn. A light rain had just fallen in the evening. A bleak wind blew on the streets, adding a bit of coolness to Zhengyang City.
From then on, there was one more sad person in this city.
Touching his bag, the young man found that he only had more than ten taels of silver. He smiled bitterly and thought that if he continued like this, he would not be able to go to Xianxian Tower to see Xian'er, and he would hardly be able to afford a drink.
After taking another gulp of wine, Lin Zhengyi raised his head and looked towards the bright red lantern hanging on the third floor of the building in the distance. Through the red light emitted by the lantern paper, he seemed to see Xian'er there, right next to the lantern.
Her figure was radiant and her pair of clear, talking eyes were staring straight at him.
Suddenly, Lin Zhengyi thought of that night again, the dim room, the beautiful female cultivator, and the awkward him.
The silver bell-like laughter broke the silence. That night, they talked about everything like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, from poetry and songs to the philosophy of life, from spiritual practice to current affairs.
Lin Zhengyi had never met anyone who was so compatible with his soul. At that moment, his heart was pounding.
At this time, all the fine sand in the hourglass fell out and turned over, but the female cultivator was about to leave. He gritted his teeth and generously donated money.
The hourglass turned over again.
Later, he went there again many times. In that small room, the affectionate man, the considerate and eloquent woman, and the bright smile lit up Lin Zhengyi's world.
In subsequent contacts, Lin Zhengyi also understood the reason why she appeared here.
A gambling dad.
Sick mom.
Parents who favor their younger brother.
And she was broken.
He wanted to take her away! But he didn't have enough money, because when she came to Xianxian Tower, her parents gave a large sum of money from Xianxian Tower to her brother to practice in the outer courtyard of Longhu Mountain. Even if Lin Zhengyi pawned the storage ring that his father Lin Zhenbei secretly bought for him, it was not enough to pay the price offered by Xianxian Tower. It was only enough to see her for a while longer.
For this reason, he couldn't help but write a long letter to his family, but Lin Zhenbei scolded him and told him to go back to Dadu as soon as possible.
His mother, who had always loved him, did not stand by him this time.
They had a big argument in the letter.
In desperation, for the sake of my sweetheart.
"I'm going to take her away today. I'll see who dares to stop me!" The young man looked determined and spoke loudly, slamming the magic weapon he had been refining for many years on the table.
Then he was beaten.
Because he destroyed the long table in Xianxian Building, his magic tools were confiscated and used to compensate for the tables and chairs in Xianxian Building.
Times have changed. The once world-famous Zhen'an Division can now only exert its deterrent power in the two capitals. At the foot of Longhu Mountain, in Zhengyang City, the Zhen'an Division is nothing.
"Fuck, is your table made of gold?" The young man shook the wine jug and poured the last sip of wine into his mouth.
Tons, tons, tons, tons, tons.
When bitter wine goes down your throat, your heart aches; when wine goes down your sad intestines, you become even sadder.
What the young man didn't know was that at this moment, Lin Zhenbei and his wife were already on their way from Shangdu to Zhengyang City.
Just when Lin Zhengyi was feeling upset, a surprised voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Hey, Brother Lin."
“You…you are Yi…” The young man tried hard to open his eyelids, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What do you mean by easy? Brother Lin, be careful with your words. My name is Fantian Yaozi."
"Yi...Brother Yaozi, please help me." Lin Zhengyi began to chatter as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Yi Chen: “….”
Another young and naive person.
Under the light and shadow, the Taoist sighed.
"Brother Lin, come with me."
Under Lin Zhengyi's surprised gaze, Yi Chen led him to a stall selling masks and carefully selected a clown mask for him to wear.
Afterwards, Fantian Yaozi brought the clown leisurely into the Xianxian Building that Lin Zhengyi had been thinking about.
At the entrance of the third floor, the sturdy man in brocade clothes showed his imposing manner, the realm of true person, the ninth level of cultivation!
The big teapot immediately showed a look of reverence, and soon someone came out and led the two of them into a private room.
"Master Yi, what are you doing..."
"I am a monk. I came to this place of fireworks today just for you, Brother Lin. I really have no choice. Who made me have a close relationship with your Lin family?"
"Brother Lin, go behind the screen, don't ask, and don't make any noise, just listen quietly."
The sturdy man in brocade clothes sat in front of the screen, took a sip of the tea on the coffee table, and said in a deep tone: "Change a batch!"
The tone is very proficient.
Not long after, a pretty round-faced female cultivator stood in front of Yi Chen, and Lin Zhengyi, who was behind the screen, finally saw the person he had been longing for.
"Fuck, he's 1.5 meters tall. Brother Lin, the filter you added is a bit too serious."
Yi Chen curled his lips, then smiled and displayed the aura of a peak True Person Realm master, and slammed a silver note of three thousand taels on the table.
Under his witty remarks, the pretty female cultivator named Xian'er soon revealed a completely new version that Lin Zhengyi had never heard before.
"Senior, do you really not need Xian'er to serve you?"
The female cultivator asked again and again unwillingly, and a big hand grabbed her arm which was about to move.
"After a pleasant chat with the fairy, I, Fantian Yaozi, actually felt an opportunity for a breakthrough. Miss Xian'er, you go out first. You can take these five thousand taels. Consider it a reward from me, Fantian Yaozi." The man in brocade clothes chuckled.
It's impossible for such a vulgar woman to take advantage of him, who is so handsome and pure.
If it was Fellow Daoist Lin Luo, he might consider it.
Hearing Yi Chen's words, the female cultivator's eyes lit up: "Senior, send someone to call Xian'er later. Xian'er is free today."
Just as the female cultivator was about to leave the room, she suddenly heard a chuckle from behind: "Miss Xian'er is so charming. When I came here, I saw a poor young man outside. I heard that he was obsessed with Miss Xian'er. He is really good at it."
The female cultivator smiled brightly upon hearing this, and turned around to bow: "Xian'er still likes heroes like you, Senior. Then Master Lin should open his eyes to the world. Xian'er is just chatting with him normally like a guest."
"Mr. Lin, if you insist on thinking too much, there is nothing I can do. I just treat you as an ordinary fellow Taoist."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"I am attracted to heroes like you, Senior."
The female cultivator who was refining her essence into qi faced Fantian Yaozi, who was at the peak of the True Person Realm. Faced with this opportunity to change her life, she suddenly lost all her reserve.
Because when their eyes met, she knew that this person was a veteran, and acting like a veteran would make her look inferior.
"I like what Miss Xian'er said. I'll reward you with another two thousand taels. Get ready and come wash my feet later." The big man in brocade clothes laughed when he heard it, and a silver note flew in front of the female cultivator again.
As the door closed, there was a sudden snapping sound from behind the screen. Yi Chen knew that someone's clown mask had fallen off.
He flashed and came behind the screen in an instant. He patted Lin Zhengyi on the shoulder and sighed: "Looking for true love behind the half-closed door, Brother Lin is still young, you really dare to believe it."
“Master…” Lin Zhengyi was heartbroken.
"It's okay. Everyone has been young. Brother Lin, you just have too little experience. You are so immature."
"Back in the day, a friend of mine also went to this kind of place, but he would wear a badge when he entered and left the building."
"That time, my good friend met a female cultivator on the way. She had bright eyes and was kind and thoughtful. So he clicked her hourglass. They had a great conversation, just like close friends who hadn't seen each other for many years."
"Perhaps it was because the night scene was too alluring that night, my friend's heart was moved, so she asked the fairy if she had a Taoist partner, and she shook her head."
"Brother Lin, guess what she said?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Zhengyi was piqued by Yi Chen's little story, and he suddenly didn't feel so bad anymore.
Yi Chen did not keep the secret, and then chuckled and said: "She said she doesn't have a Taoist partner, but she will never look for someone who has a hand card in his hand as a Taoist partner."
"My friend was heartbroken at the time. If he didn't have the cards, he wouldn't have met her here. But he had the cards in his hand and couldn't love her."
“So, life is always full of regrets.”
"Tell me, that girl Xian'er, she just wants to be the wife of a real person, it doesn't matter who the real person is, she is only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, she has no background, and she can only rely on herself for everything, what's wrong with her?"
"If you take it seriously, you will lose."
"Brother Lin, now is the best time for you to practice hard. How can you indulge in love affairs?"
Lin Zhengyi: “….”
Perhaps it was too embarrassing, Lin Zhengyi couldn't help but change the subject and asked curiously: "Master Yi, what happened to your good friend and the fairy?"
"What happened later?" Yi Chen grinned and clapped his hands. Soon, a teapot in a green turban walked in with his head bent down and a smile on his face.
"What do you want, senior?"
"Tell your boss that the fairy girl just now was very rude to me, Fantian Yaozi. Replace her with another group."
The sturdy man in brocade clothes glanced at the young man and grinned.
"Brother Lin, my good friend couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, so he found the person in charge and reported the fairy."
"She said she had a bad attitude~ and then she changed to someone who was understanding."
"My good friend later became a True Lord. His cultivation is not inferior to mine, and he is also extremely handsome."
"So Brother Lin, this matter tells you a truth."
“Don’t waste too much time on a problem you don’t understand or can’t solve.”
"There are too many problems in life that you can't figure out. So let it go and change to another one. Don't think about this one anymore. Otherwise, you will be like you are now, with unsuccessful cultivation and a miserable life."
"There are many things in this world that are worth pursuing. Don't hang yourself on just one tree. Find a few more to hang yourself on."
Yi Chen laughed out loud and patted Lin Zhengyi on the shoulder like an older brother.
"Whether the flower in the vase is in full bloom or withered is not something that the breeze can decide. The only thing the breeze can do is to give her a little more tip and leave a little footprint in her life."
"Master...what you said is very true. You are obsessed with justice." The young man bowed to Yi Chen.
Soon, two other female practitioners came in and bathed the two men's feet.
Amid the sound of rushing water, the Taoist rested his head on the pillow and said lazily, "Brother Lin, you must be clear-headed when you are a person. You can see a mountain as a mountain and a mountain as not a mountain."
“It’s like washing feet. You’re washing the feet, but not entirely the feet.”
"What is washed away is the mud of walking in this world."
"Master, Zhengyi has one last question." After Yi Chen's explanation, Lin Zhengyi no longer dwelled on the issue and finally smiled with relief. He also lay down in the same position as Yi Chen.
"Master, the friend you are talking about is you yourself!"
"Get out! I am Fantian Yaozi and I am innocent. Brother Lin, please don't talk nonsense." Yi Chen scolded with a smile. The two of them smiled at each other, closed their eyes and started to wash their feet peacefully.
——
At night, the morning star never sleeps.
After leaving Xianxian Tower, Yi Chen met an unexpected person on his way back. When this person took off his hat, it turned out to be Zhang Huyi.
"Master Yi, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"
In a dead end, Yi Chen looked at the two flesh worms wriggling in the abandoned bear cave on the Liuying Jade and couldn't help but get furious.
"Damn you, you dare to kill my bear?"
On the jade image, a pile of scattered bones in the distance is particularly eye-catching.
