Chapter 62 It's Clearly We Are the Taoist Companions
The kitten is telling the truth and is not lying.
Then, with a whoosh, the big sword that was originally swaying slowly in the air suddenly accelerated. The kitten didn't hold the fruit firmly and it almost fell.
There was a chance to increase the space in his backpack, so Lin Zhusheng quickly headed towards the library.
Wuqi usually wanders around the library, most often staying under a peach tree that has grown green leaves to bask in the sun, making it easy to find him.
He seemed to be unexpectedly popular among the sect's disciples. Since they knew that he would not hurt anyone on his own initiative, some disciples would occasionally go and chat with him.
It’s just that Wuqi doesn’t talk much, and most of the time, his small talk is actually just a one-way output for his disciples.
When Player Lin went to find the other person under the big peach tree this time, there was no one else there, so he just waved from a distance and pointed in a direction.
It was like a meeting for some mission. Wuqi knew what he was here for as soon as he saw him wave. He stood up from under the tree and turned into the woods not far away.
The moment we walked into the woods, the human figure disappeared, replaced by a huge white furry mountain.
Lin Zhusheng first ran up and then jumped, and suddenly plunged into the huge furry creature.
The white hair was almost integrated with the white fluff. He rolled around in the fluff for a few times before he breathed a sigh of relief.
From being cautious and careful at the beginning to rolling around in the fur when they meet now, he has completed super evolution in a short time.
Wu Qi did not comment on such behavior. His huge golden vertical pupils drooped, and he just watched the person rolling on him quietly.
Today was a little different from usual. After rolling enough, this guy didn't dawdle and take the opportunity to rub his fur a few more times, but jumped down neatly.
Suddenly, a gust of air surged out of nowhere, the leaves in the forest rustled, the mountain of white plush disappeared, and a man with white hair and golden eyes appeared in the same place.
Lin, who had something to ask for, sat down aside and swiftly handed over some snacks and fruits.
The number of snacks and fruits was greater than before, and Wu Qi noticed it immediately. He asked with a sidelong glance, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
So fast!
Originally, he wanted to exchange a few words of greeting after delivering the gifts, but he didn't expect to be discovered so quickly. Player Lin paused, then nodded honestly, "A little bit."
After eating a bite of snack politely, Wuqi looked at him and waited quietly for what to come.
Facing the gaze of the people, Lin Zhusheng rubbed his hands, looked around twice, and then asked in a low voice: "Have you ever considered a Taoist partner?"
"……?"
The kitten who had been concentrating on eating fruit next to him opened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
No, this guy actually asked!
Wu Qi was surprised to hear such a question. He asked, "Why?"
"I want to say," Lin Zhusheng lowered his voice again and again, almost whispering, "If you don't have any ideas, how about we just get together?"
“…”
After living for so many years, the ancient ferocious beast was choked for the first time, and its golden vertical pupils shrank, almost into needles. It lowered its head and glanced at the person sitting next to it.
He swallowed the snack that was stuck in his throat, and after realizing that the person's tone was tentative but seemed serious, he finally reacted and asked, "...Why?"
Without beating around the bush, player Lin honestly stated his purpose: "I want something, and I can only get it by becoming your Taoist partner."
"..." Wu Qi lowered his head to look into the man's eyes and said, "Do you know what it means to become a Taoist couple?"
Lin Zhusheng scratched his head and said, "I think I know."
Based on his previous gaming experience, he felt that a Taoist companion was no different from a friend, except that they had a special identity. They did similar things, the only difference was that Taoist companions could live together and spend more time together.
The sun is shining, the leaves are rustling, and the deserted woods are quiet. He was answered with silence.
He raised his head to meet the golden pupils staring at him, his eyes slowly drooped, and his voice became much softer, "Is it really not possible?"
Although I didn't have high expectations at the beginning, I still feel a little sad when I lose the opportunity to increase the grid.
He couldn't bear to give up any of the things he usually carried in his backpack, but in order to be able to bring more things back when he went out in the future, he had to make a choice and put some things into the wooden box.
"I didn't say no."
Reaching out to take the green leaves mixed in the white hair of the person in front of him, Wu Qi said: "If the master wants, I can cooperate."
Translated it means agreed.
In shock and joy, Lin Zhusheng chose to stand up and raise his hand to put a throat-locking motion on the man. He rubbed his red ears and twitched his eyes as he said, "I told you not to call me that!"
Because of the pride of an ancient ferocious beast, Wuqi had never called anyone like this before, and he didn't call him like this at first. But later, as if some strange Ren and Du meridians had been opened up, he started to call him like this from time to time and enjoyed it.
The hand that was locking his throat withdrew its strength and could not cause any harm to Wuqi. He reached out and patted the hand that was across his neck, and with a pair of golden pupils raised, he said, "If you regret it, come and tell me tomorrow."
"If you don't regret it, I will go out of the sect tomorrow to find you a branch of orchid flower. You won't be able to regret it then."
"Hmm... hm?"
Lin Zhusheng took back his hand that was locking his throat, raised his eyebrows, and asked in confusion: "Lanjunhua?"
His doubts also puzzled Wu Qi, "Don't you humans rely on giving orchid flowers to establish relationships?"
"?"
Orchid flower? What does it have to do with anything?
A gentle mountain breeze blew. Player Lin, who clearly remembered that he had just given a small flower to his senior brother not long ago, fell into an unspeakable silence in the wind and turned his head stiffly to look at the kitten.
Probably guessing what he was thinking, the kitten nodded, confirming that his memory was correct.
“…”
Lin Zhusheng stood up from the ground and repeatedly asked about the truthfulness of the sentence just now.
Every inquiry was answered in the affirmative. The orchid flower is really used to express love and confirm relationships. This was told to Wuqi by the disciple who was chatting with him.
He suffered again from his lack of education.
He had previously made up for his lack of knowledge of herbal medicine and was already familiar with the planting methods and physical effects of various flowers and plants, but that was not mentioned in the books, and he had never understood their emotional effects, so he learned from one setback after another.
Even the inhuman Wuqi knows about this kind of thing, and the eldest senior brother who is already very familiar with these things must also know about it.
He had sent flowers before, and the eldest senior brother accepted them and said he liked them very much.
...something seems wrong.
With his thoughts in disarray and his head buzzing, he quickly took out his big sword, grabbed the kitten on the ground and stuffed it into his clothes, saying, "No, I have to go to my senior brother."
If you don't understand, just ask me directly. He completely forgot about closing the door to visitors, and with his big sword he flew straight up into the sky and headed straight for the sect master's peak.
Zongzhu Peak is bustling with people coming and going from all directions, and you can see all kinds of figures from a long distance away. Because they completely refused to allow any visitors, there were not many people around the familiar courtyard. They could only vaguely see two people from his sect who had just left in disappointment.
Lin Zhusheng was quick in getting on the sword, but slowed down again when he got to the place. He was slow to remember that he still refused any visitors, so he walked around the gate of the yard twice, his left and right brains fighting, wondering whether he should go in and disturb them.
"despair--"
When he was about to stroll for the third time, the tightly closed yard door opened with a slight sound. A white figure appeared at the door. When he pushed the door open and looked over, the corners of his lips slightly raised and he said, "You're here."
It was a very natural tone, and he seemed a little happy, as if he had been waiting for her to come.
Instead of being turned away, Lin Zhusheng was taken directly into the yard by the senior brother, and then entered a familiar room after crossing the yard.
The eldest senior brother seemed to have recovered well. There was no more blood stain on his body, and his moon-white robe was still neat and tidy, just like before.
He was taken to sit at the table and the person next to him poured him a cup of tea.
After being in the mountains for a whole day, he had a mouthful of wind in his mouth when he just flew over and was indeed thirsty. He took the teacup, tilted his head back, took a big gulp, and felt better.
After pouring the tea, he sat down on the side. The eldest brother tilted his head and asked, "Did you go to the mountains to play again today?"
I originally wanted to ask about the orchid flower, but after this interruption, Lin, a player who was very willing to share, nodded quickly, completely ignoring the purpose of his visit, and took out a bunch of good things he found in the mountains today and introduced them one by one.
These good things are collectively called garbage by the kitten, and only the eldest brother would listen to his introduction in this way.
His mouth was dry from the introduction, so he took another sip of the refilled tea and continued his work as a tour guide.
The hardworking guide was kicked by a kitten squatting at his feet during the explanation. The pain made him finally remember the purpose of coming here. He stopped talking in time, turned his eyes to the person sitting next to him, and said, "Big Brother, that..."
The person sitting next to him was still looking at the peculiarly shaped small stone on the table, following his previous words. He turned his head and asked, "Huh?"
——No matter how you look at it, this is a very normal senior brother!
Normal interactions, normal communication, and very upright eyes!
Facing the gaze, Lin Zhusheng finally chose to shake the teapot and said, "It's okay, it just seems that there is not enough water."
He seemed to particularly like drinking tea today. The eldest brother was a little surprised, but he didn't say much. He just stood up and said, "I'll go make tea. If you're bored, you can walk around. You can go into any room."
The person left.
The kitten jumped onto the chair and asked, "You don't want to ask about the flowers anymore?"
"No need to ask, Senior Brother definitely doesn't mean that. He probably just likes flowers."
Feeling that he had a very good eye for people and also feeling a bit guilty towards his upright senior brother, Lin stood up from his seat, strolled over to the tea room where his senior brother had just gone, and watched the tea being made.
The teahouse is a very spacious room with windows facing the yard outside. Shadows of slightly green leaves shine through, swaying gently.
There is a vase on the windowsill facing the light, with only a small flower in it. Its small appearance looks surprisingly familiar.
Stepping into the room, Lin Zhusheng moved closer to the window, took a closer look, and discovered that the thing inserted inside was indeed a orchid flower.
The edges of the petals are a little yellow, and it is difficult to restore them to their original state after withering, but except for the edges, the rest of the flowers are surprisingly well grown, and it looks like they can still bloom for a long time.
Noticing his gaze, the eldest brother said, "It's the one you gave me. It has recovered a lot after being placed in the fire crystal."
The fire crystal that was used to warm people was finally used to warm flowers. Lin Zhusheng responded and reached out to touch the petals twice.
"In a few years."
He bent down to touch the flowers. The eldest senior brother who was sitting next to him looked over and said, "In a few years, you will be able to find a Taoist partner."
Lin Zhusheng turned his head and asked, "Hmm?"
The eldest brother said, "When a monk reaches the age of twenty-five, he can marry a Taoist couple."
"?"
The reality is that Dalin, a young man studying in college, obviously still has a long way to go before he turns 25. The corner of his eye immediately raised, and a player who thought he would soon get the backpack slot said in disbelief: "It will take so long?"
He said: "I discussed it with a friend today and thought it would be done soon."
Catching some information, the tea maker immediately slowed down his movements and raised his eyes, "A friend?"
Oh yeah. I haven't had time to tell my senior brother about this.
Finding the study behind the tea room, Lin Zhusheng was a little curious. He walked towards the study and said, "Today I have agreed to become a Taoist partner with a friend. His name is Wuqi. He is the one sweeping the floor in the library before. You should have seen him."
In this sense, there is not much difference between a Taoist companion and a friend. He did not plan to tell anyone else about this, but felt that he should at least tell the senior brother and the great elder.
It was a very ordinary tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
“…”
The wind was still, the trees were still, the person making tea stopped moving, all movement in the room disappeared, and the entire space suddenly fell into dead silence, leaving only the sound of the boiling spiritual spring water.
There was no response to what he said. Just as Lin Zhusheng was about to turn around, he finally heard a voice from behind, saying:
"Do you like him...?"
It sounded no different from usual. He then replied, “I like it very much.”
Although he likes to call people random names sometimes, he is a furry, huge furry at that, and will chat with him, so he is a pretty good friend.
His attention was on the study and he didn't notice anything unusual behind him. He was still looking at the furnishings in the room. When he lowered his head, he found that there were still some pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.
The eldest brother actually has a hobby of practicing calligraphy. Thinking that given the person's personality, he might use the sect rules to practice calligraphy, he lowered his head to glance at the contents on the paper, but he didn't see the sect rules, but saw his own name instead.
My own name, and another name that had been so disused that I almost forgot it.
【AAA Bamboo Wholesale Lin Zong】
The eldest brother's handwriting is very beautiful, and these words are written stroke by stroke. However, the other party probably does not know what 3A means, and his handwriting is too standard and neat, which is seriously inconsistent with the style of the words next to it.
He smiled, his mouth was faster than his brain, he turned around and said with a smile: "How did you know this name, didn't I already..."
The moment he turned his head, he met the gaze of someone not far away, and clearly saw a pair of inky black pupils half hidden in the light and the strange color inside them.
“…”
……wrong.
Halfway through his words, his brain was working at an unprecedented speed. The former AAA bamboo wholesaler Mr. Lin, now Lin Zhusheng, quickly realized that something was wrong, and he stopped talking along with the corners of his mouth that were raised.
3A is the name of another account. He was sure that he had never mentioned this name once since entering the game.
So how did the eldest brother know this, or why did he still remember this name.
Or how much else can you remember besides your name?
——Lin Zhusheng, is that your real name?
——I have an old friend who likes to grow flowers, plants and herbs.
And the Lord of Guiyu City, who was supposed to have died at the hands of his relatives and elders, but now died at the hands of this eldest senior brother.
Something is wrong! No matter how I think about it, it feels wrong!
During this time of thinking, the person who was originally sitting at the low table stood up, slowly walked towards this side, and said, "Isn't it already?"
Isn't it cancelled already?
The atmosphere at the scene was very strange. Lin Zhusheng intuitively did not say the rest of the words. He just stood there like a wooden chicken, his eyes wide as bells.
"You remember it, too."
You can tell from the expression of the person opposite you.
The heart in his chest beat again and again, and the strong emotions filled up and overflowed. Wen Baizhou walked closer to the study and said, "Do you remember that we became Taoist companions and swore a vow of unity?"
He is not the only one who remembers those past events, and they were not just a dream.
As the distance shortened, Lin Zhusheng unconsciously moved back, his back resting against the edge of the desk. He intuitively felt that it was not appropriate to talk at this time, so he tried to keep his mouth shut.
With one hand resting on the edge of the desk, Wen Baizhou whispered, "...it's clear that we are Taoist companions."
He was wary of Chen Jinghao who had appeared before, and paid attention to Song Ming and other people, but now there was a new person named Wu Qi, and he would soon replace his former position.
A very low and suppressed voice. Lin Zhusheng raised his head and met a pair of eyes that were only looking at him. The usual calm was broken, the surging emotions in his eyes were like a whirlpool, stirring up huge waves, and the intense depression made people feel frightened.
One hand sunk into the white long hair to hold up the side of the person's face, Wen Baizhou lowered his head, looked into the eyes that were so close to him, and said: "Daoists are not friends. Can you accept doing something like this with him?"
The distance was so close that he could feel the breath on his face. Even a blind man could see what was happening. Lin Zhusheng opened his eyes, not daring to move, and just watched the distance get closer.
Feeling the warm nose brushing against the side of his face, he dared not look or move and quickly closed his eyes. He was extremely nervous, and his hands, which were tightly gripping the edge of the table, touched something cold. He was caught off guard and was chilled to death.
“…”
His hand was still stuck in the soft white hair. Wen Baizhou could clearly feel the moment the person in front of him trembled. He opened his eyes, and there was finally a moment of clarity in his eyes. He suddenly stopped moving, withdrew his hand, and said sorry.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He quickly took a half step back, tried to control his voice, and said in a normal tone, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early, don't stay up too late at night, remember to close the windows as the wind is strong these days."
Lin Zhusheng feels that he is just a piece of wood now, in every sense of the word. He is usually very talkative, but at this moment he couldn't utter a word. After holding it in for a long time, he finally uttered "Senior Brother".
"Go back and rest quickly," he took two steps back to make room for departure, and most of the figure disappeared into the darkness. The eldest brother said with the last bit of reason, "If you stay here any longer, I might do something you hate."
After being reminded again and again, Lin Zhusheng finally took action. He walked out of the study, passed the tea room, and slowly moved towards the door. The short time seemed as long as a lifetime.
I have moved to the door. Outside is the warm sunshine and dark green shade. I only need to take one more step forward to leave here.
——How is it possible to leave!
Just when he was about to succeed, he didn't move forward. Instead, he suddenly turned around and ran back quickly after taking the last step.
This person looked so sad that he was about to die. It was even more miserable than when he was at Hantian Cliff. How could he possibly get away?
"master……"
He ran back to the study, but before he could see clearly what was inside, he ran too fast and crashed directly into a burning embrace with a familiar smell. When he raised his head, he couldn't shout out "Senior Brother". The corners of his mouth became hot and the rest of the words were sealed between his lips.
