The documentary was still playing on the screen in front of her, causing the chemical reaction between the two parties to become more intense.

Chu Zhishui had never been so tormented on an airplane. She only regretted that there was no ejection device on the seat, so that she could be ejected directly from the cabin.

I'm tired, so I'll destroy myself.

But there was a bamboo demon sitting next to her, staring at her closely, and she couldn't even find a chance to destroy herself.

She tried to calm down and break the anxious deadlock. She pretended to be gentle and kind, and persuaded him gently: "This is a cultural difference between species. You really misunderstood. It's the 21st century now. Don't be like an antique and look pale when talking about sex."

Correct physiological knowledge education is imminent. All kinds of film and television works have been madly deleted because some Chinese people are overly sensitive, including some plant demons.

Besides, there are no bamboos in the documentary, so it should have nothing to do with him, just like birds and fish, one in the sky and the other in the water, they are completely unrelated.

Xin Yunmao frowned: "Am I an old antique?"

"Isn't it?" Chu Zhishui said politely, "How old are you this year?" "

..."

Xin Yunmao first encountered the impact of the plant documentary, and now there is another wave of attack from his age. He showed a trance for a while, seriously suspecting that he had not left Huaijiang for too long and really couldn't keep up with the new era.

Chu Zhishui saw that he had calmed down and the other party showed a depressed expression. She finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the matter was over.

She is now worried about the return trip. Will the documentary be shown again at that time, and will she have to go through a similar thing again.

The plane landed safely at Danshan Airport.

Danshan Airport is far less prosperous than Yinhai. As a city that is not famous enough on the national map, the facilities in the airport also look old. However, Danshan has spectacular natural scenery. It is crowded with people during the peak tourist season, and the scenery has its own characteristics in all seasons.

After leaving the airport, the man and the demon took a car to the booked hotel. Danshan Hotel was recommended by Boss Peng. He stays here every year. It is not far from the appraisal agency and the auction site.

Chu Zhishui opened two rooms at the front desk, left the invoice for the staff, and then went back to the room with Xin Yunmao to check the hotel facilities.

The hotel room is not big. There are beds and TVs in the room. There are coffee tables and couches in the corner. It is clean.

The bathroom is well stocked with toiletries, and it even has ginseng shampoo, which highlights the local characteristics of Danshan. Chu Zhishui unscrewed the bottle cap, sniffed the shampoo, and examined the level of competing products.

"It looks OK." Chu Zhishui looked around, "If you need anything, just borrow it from me, or we can go out and buy it."

Xin Yunmao had no luggage, but he didn't need much, so it was no problem to buy it at any time.

After resting, Chu Zhishui sent a message to Boss Peng, and learned that he would arrive at the hotel in the evening. According to his instructions, she first sent the ginseng to the identification agency and entrusted the staff to lock it in the safe for safekeeping, so that she had the leisure to take Xin Yunmao around.

The streets of Danshan City are similar to those of Huaijiang, except that it happened to be the third Danshan Ginseng Auction. A lively market was set up in the square, and many local merchants gathered here to sell their goods. There was a noisy crowd here, and different from the orderly auction, all kinds of ginseng were directly spread on the table, and price tags were sloppily placed next to them.

In the corner stood a warning sign that read "Please consume rationally and be careful of being cheated", which was particularly suitable for the chaotic scene, except that it shouted "Run" to foreign tourists, madly indicating that people were being ripped off here.

Despite this, there were still many tourists in the market. Xin Yunmao followed Chu Zhishui closely, and occasionally helped her block and separate passers-by who suddenly passed by. His appearance and height are eye-catching in the crowd. Passing tourists often turn back to look at him carefully, but are repelled by his cold and indifferent aura.

Chu Zhishui certainly would not buy ginseng here and be cheated. Now is the golden autumn harvest season. There are various plant seeds on the table, and there are fruit-bearing potted plants next to the store, attracting her attention. She suddenly thought of her pre-sale house. She bought it specifically with a small courtyard, which was an ignorant dream of city people about farming.

Now, she goes to work every day to plant tea and ginseng. She no longer has the leisure to grow vegetables, but maybe she can get some simple and easy-to-grow flower and plant seeds. She can't leave the yard completely empty.

Chu Zhishui's eyes wandered on the table. She wanted to get some seeds unique to Danshan, but she was afraid that they would not survive if she took them back to Huaijiang.

"What are you looking for?" Xin Yunmao asked. He noticed Chu Zhishui's little movement and followed her line of sight to look at the table.

When Chu Zhishui heard his voice, she suddenly remembered that he was an expert, so she humbly asked, "I want to plant some flowers and plants in my yard. Are there any easy to grow ones? I don't have time to take care of them during work, and they won't die if I neglect them."

Xin Yunmao quickly replied, "Bamboo."

Chu Zhishui: "?"

Chu Zhishui raised her eyebrows slightly and questioned, "No, that's not appropriate. Don't mix personal emotions when making recommendations."

"No personal emotions." Xin Yunmao argued, "Bamboo has always been a companion of literati and poets. It used to be a common plant in residences. It's better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo. Haven't you heard of it?"

"Okay, okay, you can't live without bamboo, but it can't be just bamboo. Are there other things that can be planted?" Chu Zhishui pondered that fruit would be fine, but he didn't know if it would easily attract insects.

Xin Yunmao crossed his arms in displeasure: "

Why do we need to plant other things when we have bamboo?" "What if we want to eat fruits?" Chu Zhishui said in a gentle voice, "I can't just chew bamboo, I'm not a giant panda."

"..."

Xin Yunmao calmed down when he heard that she wanted to eat. He turned around and looked around, saying, "I'll go over there and see what you want to eat?"

"Is there anything special to Danshan?"

"I'll look for it."

The table in this store is very long, with all kinds of seeds on it, and there are very small signs below, indicating what they are. Chu Zhishui and Xin Yunmao, one on the left and one on the right, browsed from both sides, searching for useful plant seeds.

Because there were so many people in the market, if they moved away from each other, there would be people in the middle, so they couldn't be as close as when they first came in.

Chu Zhishui was looking down at the seeds when she suddenly felt someone coming over from the side.

The man looked to be in his twenties or thirties, with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He spoke with great pride and said to the customer warmly, "What are you looking for? If you come to Danshan, you must see ginseng. Looking at these things is a waste of time!"

"Thank you, I just want to waste time."

Chu Zhishui understood the other party's intention when he heard this. He just wanted to trick her into buying ginseng.

The owners of these stalls are all very good at talking. If you are not careful, they will coax you into turning your head. Otherwise, why would there be a warning sign at the door? She might have looked too much like a tourist from another place, so she was targeted by the other party.

The dark-skinned young man was not annoyed by being rejected, and continued to lobby: "Oh, what you say is really interesting! Otherwise, tell me what you are looking for, I will help you find it, our stall is over there, and we also sell various seeds!"

"Thank you, it's really not necessary." Chu Zhishui suspected that he was too friendly, so he was pestered by the local salesman.

"Don't be polite, I'll take you to see, there are more things..."

At this time, a cold male voice sounded next to him: "Didn't your master teach you not to chat with other people's believers casually?" When

the dark-skinned young man heard this, he shuddered inexplicably, turned his head and saw the handsome black-haired young man, whose temperament was particularly outstanding in the crowded crowd.

Xin Yunmao walked around the tourists around him and came from the other side of the long table, and saw the scene in front of him. At this time, his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and he looked cold and arrogant. He glanced at the other party and said coldly: "If others don't want to, don't bother. Didn't your master teach you?"

The dark-skinned boy was stunned: "Why are you..."

"Master?" Chu Zhishui was also puzzled and didn't understand what Xin Yunmao said.

In the bustling market, few people paid attention to the surrounding situation, but suddenly a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit flashed aside. He looked elegant, but his eyes were long and narrow. He quickly pulled the dark-skinned boy over and asked him to stand behind him.

The dark-skinned young man said in confusion: "Master..."

"Shut up." The man in the Zhongshan suit shouted in a low voice. He looked at Xin Yunmao again and bowed and apologized quickly, "I am Yu Jingzi. I am a child and don't know anything. Please don't blame me, Lord God."

"Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for him, but I will cause trouble for you. He is immature, and you are not sensible either?" Xin Yunmao's attitude was cold and distant, his eyes were like unmelted ice, revealing a chill that pierced the bone marrow. He sneered, "Since you have accepted him as your disciple, don't mislead your disciple."

Yu Jingzi did not dare to retort after being scolded, and said respectfully, "Sorry to bother you two. We are doing some business in Danshan. There is a stall in front. You can take whatever you need."

After a while, Yu Jingzi pulled the dark-skinned guy away. Chu Zhishui then had the opportunity to ask, "Is he a monster?"

Yu Jingzi called Xin Yunmao "God of God", which was obviously not a title used by humans.

Xin Yunmao said disdainfully: "Yes, he is supported by the people here, and then he recruits disciples to accumulate wealth, and occasionally tries to collect demonic energy."

He has always looked down on monsters like Yu Jingzi, and does not believe that they have the ability to guide humans. Even if they are called masters, they may not teach skills. How can he have the face to teach others when he himself does not understand cultivation?

Chu Zhishui nodded in understanding. It seems that this is what Director Hu said about the power of the underworld, which is a part that the Observation Bureau is not easy to intervene in.

Xin Yunmao drove away Yu Jingzi and his disciples. He looked serious and taught them seriously: "You are not familiar with the place, don't talk to strangers casually."

He just walked away two steps, but he actually attracted idle people.

Chu Zhishui was helpless: "Let's be reasonable, he came to talk to me."

Of course she would not talk, and she could not stop the other party from soliciting customers.

"Then you shouldn't have replied." Seeing that she didn't seem to take it seriously, Xin Yunmao became even more depressed and warned her seriously, "What if there is danger?"

"Will it be dangerous to say a few words?" Chu Zhishui knew that he was worried about her, but still felt that it was an exaggeration, so she advised, "This is a public place and a society ruled by law."

Xin Yunmao mocked, "When you really encounter danger, it will be too late to regret it."

His eyes were dim and his face was stern, more like an old-fashioned parent who didn't allow her to watch plant documentaries and didn't accept running around or coming back late.

Chu Zhishui found that he followed her stupidly when they were in Huaijiang, but when they went out, he wanted to know every detail, as if she could be kidnapped at any time. Last time she drank at Yinhai a little later, in his eyes she was a night out, uncertain about life or death, and he even went to the door of the bar to wait for people.

She now seriously doubted that she treated him as a three-year-old, and he also treated her as a three-year-old, a child who had no ability to protect herself.

"How come it's too late to regret?" Chu Zhishui didn't want to quarrel with him, and said lazily, "I'll wait for you to save me then."

She looked at him leisurely, and simply didn't argue, and just put on the spot, pretending to rely on him.

"..."

Xin Yunmao was instantly dumb when he heard this, and wanted to say something, but seeing how frank she was, he couldn't say anything.

The man and the demon looked at each other and began to stare at each other.

After a long moment, he pursed his lips and finally uttered, "You're right."

She was his believer, so it made sense for him to be in charge of the matter.

Chu Zhishui clapped his hands: "That's it, problem solved."

"But why do you always talk back to me?" Xin Yunmao frowned. He was quiet for a few seconds, then gave in softly, "Forget it, just talk back if you want."

On the other side, Yu Jingzi pulled the dark-skinned guy away. He returned to his stall and scolded his disciple: "Lin Yue, I told you not to bother with outsiders, or you might meet someone with a bad temper and he will beat you up!"

"Then I will definitely choose someone who looks easy to talk to." Lin Yue whispered, "Besides, who sells goods here without soliciting customers?"

The merchants are very powerful locally, and foreign tourists generally don't want to cause trouble, and in the end they will be dragged into the store to stroll around.

"Are we in need of those buyers?" Yu Jingzi said angrily, "You met a tough one this time, and almost got your master involved!"

Lin Yue was stunned: "Those two people just now are..."

"If he ran out of Huaijiang, the people following him are not ordinary people." Yu Jingzi thought, "I heard from Yinhai that there are humans in the Observation Bureau. It is estimated that it is that person, and we can't mess with him." Yu Jingzi

has been active in Danshan, recruiting believers everywhere to do business. In recent years, the response has been good, and there are many channels of information. Monsters like them dare not confront the Observation Bureau head-on. Although humans voluntarily sign agreements with them, there have been many cases in history where voluntary agreements have turned into farces, so the Observation Bureau is also unhappy with them and thinks that their behavior increases the workload.

"Are they from the Kongsang Bureau?" Lin Yue asked, "The bureau won't come to Danshan, right?"

Kongsang is far from Danshan, and they won't go unless the mission is urgent.

Yu Jingzi explained, "There is more than just Kongsang in the Observation Bureau. There are four major Observation Bureaus in the country, namely Kongsang, Yinhai, Huaijiang and Qiwu. The woman should be from the Huaijiang Bureau."

"What about the man?"

"The man is more troublesome than the Observation Bureau." Yu Jingzi glanced at his disciple, "I can't tell you his name, but the predecessor like him was much more powerful than your master. I am a snake and he is a dragon. Wherever the sun rises, I wish there were followers of his."

Yu Jingzi recruited many disciples, and naturally yearned for the experience of the Dragon God. In the past, humans even built temples for the Dragon God.

"This person never leaves Huaijiang and rarely accepts followers, otherwise he might be doing better than that one, and he should not be provoked."

Lin Yue was stunned: "Is it that mysterious? More powerful than the Observation Bureau?"

"Of course, if you know the origin of the Observation Bureau, you will understand that the location is related to these two people." Yu Jingzi said, "Qiwu is the birthplace of the Dragon God. He has many followers in the Silver Sea and is the pinnacle of prestige. Huaijiang is the birthplace of that person. The two had a big battle in Huaijiang, and then the Dragon God was defeated."

After listening to the explanation, Lin Yue asked curiously: "What's the matter with Wukongsang here?"

"Kongsang is the turning point of the Dragon God's soul. Some people say that he met a person here, and it was also the beginning of his gradual degeneration." Yu Jingzi looked back at his disciples, "But we don't know the specific details."

He said angrily: "Anyway, if you see those two again recently, just avoid them and don't cause trouble!"

Lin Yue hurriedly responded.

Dusk was getting darker, and the bustling market didn't stop until the evening. Chu Zhishui and Xin Yunmao didn't pick out many seeds, so they planned to have a meal outside and then go back to the hotel to rest.

Xin Yunmao fiddled with the seeds in his hand critically. He handed them back to Chu Zhishui and suggested, "If you really want seeds, I can find them for you after we return to Huaijiang. The ones here are very ordinary." "

Are there high-quality ones in Huaijiang?" Chu Zhishui asked suspiciously, "Where can you find them?"

"Of course I have a way." Xin Yunmao raised his chin slightly, "I don't know about other plants, but bamboo must be very high-quality."

"...Can we not take advantage of every opportunity to promote them like this?"

Chu Zhishui thought that Xin Yunmao still disliked the dark-skinned young man's entanglement. He was also pervasive in his recommendations, and he would remind her from time to time.

The next day, the Economic Development Division's business trip team officially started working. They reunited with Boss Peng at the ginseng appraisal agency.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Mr. Peng's face became more and more rosy. Perhaps he was in high spirits because of good things. He greeted them kindly: "Xiao Chu, Xiao Xin, long time no see!"

Chu Zhishui said politely: "Long time no see. It seems that your company is doing well recently. You look better than the last time we met."

"I have been busy with orders recently. I have indeed made some achievements. Now I come to buy ginseng again." Mr. Peng sighed, "There are many business opportunities, but few high-quality ginseng. I didn't come to Danshan Auction very often before. Now, no matter whether it is large or small, I have to come to take a look. But there is not enough good ginseng."

Danshan Auction is of medium scale and is a regular event held every year. The grams of ginseng that appear are limited. If it is a century-old ginseng or hundreds of grams of wild ginseng, it will be a big deal once the news is released. It only appears in large auctions.

Boss Peng: "Your ginseng has a good weight. If you are lucky, you may be able to be rated as the 'King of Ginseng'. I remember that last year's 'King of Ginseng' was about the same. Of course, it also depends on the ginseng brought by others."

Chu Zhishui: "Is there another 'King of Ginseng'?"

"Yes, the auction house and the appraisal agency have discussed and decided that the 'King of Ginseng' will attract more attention than other ginsengs and is more likely to be sold at a high price, which is equivalent to having some publicity effect."

"Is that so."

Boss Peng has been in the ginseng business for many years, so he naturally understands all kinds of things. He has been to too many auctions, and now he likes to do things himself, so he will come here again after becoming the boss.

Ginseng is Boss Peng's main business, but it is considered a sideline for the Observation Bureau. After they talked about ginseng, they started talking about other things.

"Xiao Chu, Xiao Xin, didn't you two help me with something in Yinhai before?" Boss Peng said implicitly, "Later I found out that there are a lot of people in this situation, especially in Danshan."

Xin Yunmao raised his eyebrows: "Have you met other people who have signed agreements?"

"Yes, many of them who have done business with me have more or less!" Boss Peng exclaimed, "I said why their luck is so good, it's because I lost at the starting line from the beginning."

Boss Peng has been working diligently for many years and is considered a big expert in ginseng, but he has also seen many people who have made a fortune, but he has never had this luck. After he signed an agreement with the ginseng demon, he opened the door to a new world and learned many things he didn't know before.

"It's not considered a loss." Xin Yunmao pondered for a few seconds and said, "It's unfortunate to always be involved in these things. You can conclude an agreement because good causes bring good results, but more often than not, bad causes bring bad results. Their agreement wants much more than yours."

The ginseng demon was just playing a prank, and he didn't have any bad intentions, so he wouldn't make loopholes in the agreement. As long as Boss Peng kept his promise, the ginseng demon would naturally repay him, without any mess.

"That's right, I see that they do these things, and they still have to kowtow and burn incense every morning and evening, and offer sacrifices and offerings during festivals. It's simply more respectful than serving their parents. It's really..." Boss Peng shook his head, "Anyway, I don't understand."

Chu Zhishui: "It sounds so unequal."

She treated the monsters from the Observation Bureau equally, and the interactions between the two sides were also give and take, and they also didn't understand the status of being inferior.

Xin Yunmao glanced at her resentfully and muttered, "Look at other people's believers, and then look at yourself. I suggested planting bamboo, but you still haven't agreed."

He didn't ask her to do these, he just wanted to plant some bamboo, but she was holding on and refused to give in!

"Let's put this aside. Why are you talking about this again?" Chu Zhishui looked at him in surprise. "Besides, all gods are gods. They should take the lead in fighting feudalism. Why do you compare these things with others?"

Xin Yunmao said stubbornly, "I don't compare these things, but I want to plant bamboo."

Chu Zhishui looked around and saw that Boss Peng was talking to someone else. Only then did she have time to deal with the chattering bamboo demon. She said patiently, "Have you a little bit of reason? What's the big deal about planting bamboo in my house? Of course not."

Xin Yunmao was very dissatisfied: "Why not?"

"Do you think I don't know how bamboo grows? Isn't that just dividing or burying branches, separating them from your body." She was embarrassed and angry and said, "Does it seem reasonable for me to plant you in my yard? Then I might as well give you the key to my house!"

Many people may not know that the reproduction of bamboo is amazing. A bamboo forest may all be made up of the same bamboo, but the underground roots are quite developed, densely woven into a complex web in the dark, forming a lush scene on the surface. This may be the reason why the bamboo demon can teleport on the ground. His roots are spread everywhere, and there is no place he cannot reach.

Although bamboo can also be sown and raised as seedlings, the growth rate will be slower, and it is usually divided or buried.

The high-quality bamboo that Xin Yunmao mentioned must be him. How could she plant him in her own home? This is simply too weird.

What's the difference between this and him living in her house?

This demon blushes and his heart beats fast when watching plant documentaries, why does he have no reaction when he is planted in someone else's house! ?

Xin Yunmao was stunned when he heard this. He seemed to have just remembered something and his breathing was slightly choked. Seeing her fair face turned pink, like a fragrant peach for the first time, he was speechless for a long time.

Chu Zhishui pursed her lips slightly, she glared at him angrily, thinking that he finally reacted.

"It's not impossible." Xin Yunmao tilted his head awkwardly, he spoke vaguely, and stretched out his hand again, "Give me the key, I'll go and plant it myself."

"..."

Seeing that he still didn't give up, Chu Zhishui was so angry that she punched him directly.

Tired, destroy it! He still doesn't understand what people say today!

She said that giving him the key to the house was a mockery of him, but he actually understood it as letting him plant it himself!

At the scene of the appraisal agency, Yu Jingzi and Lin Yue were shocked to see this scene. As soon as they entered the house, they saw Chu Zhishui and Xin Yunmao. They avoided each other from a distance and didn't dare to cause trouble. From time to time, they also observed each other's position. Who would have expected to see such a scene. What

Lin Yue was thinking was: There are actually disciples who dare to beat up their master?

Yu Jingzi was thinking: How dare a believer beat up the God?

Not long after, they saw something even more shocking. Xin Yunmao opened the lid of the drinking water bottle and took the initiative to pass it to Chu Zhishui.

Xin Yunmao noticed that she was upset. He touched her with the water bottle intentionally or unintentionally, sending a signal of handshake and peace, and whispered: "Drink some water."

Chu Zhishui was lowering her head to organize the ginseng certificate: "I don't drink, I'm not thirsty, you drink it."

Seeing that she ignored him, Xin Yunmao was surprised and said: "You haven't drunk water for a long time."

Chu Zhishui retorted: "I'm not a plant, an hour won't be long."

He blinked: "Drink some, just a little."

This almost feels like a parent chasing after a child to feed him.

The Xin Yunmao that Yu Jingzi and Lin Yue met at the market was arrogant and indifferent, but now he has changed his face, like a big dog wagging its tail.

"Master, how come other people's followers can..." Lin Yue didn't dare to mention the beating. He saw the situation not far away and said tactfully, "They all have masters who ask about their health and give them water. Why is our tradition different?"

Same person, different fate. The two sides are simply reversed. There, the master chased him and gave him water but he refused to drink it, but he had to work hard every day to serve his master?

"Shut up! Don't always compare your conditions with others, but compare your abilities with other people's followers!" Yu Jingzi said angrily, "Other people's followers can pass the inspection bureau, why can't you?!"

Lin Yue: "..."
