Chapter 171: Water spilled from the house
Shi Zelan entered the old lady's yard first and faced the old lady sitting in the yard for the first time.
The old lady spoke to the guests with a kind face, and Shi Zelan took the opportunity to step forward and express her gratitude to the old lady.
When the old lady saw Shi Zelan, she said calmly, "No need to thank me. I don't know when this flower will bloom. Go enjoy the flowers, young lady."
Shi Zelan walked aside, and Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu also came in at this time. They also went to thank the old lady, and then followed everyone to step aside.
After a while, there were fewer people around. The old lady looked a little tired and was helped by the old maid to go to the guest house to rest.
The old maid kept complaining, "Madam, you and Master are so kind. It's a good thing that the flowers in your yard are blooming in the middle of winter.
You have invited people from all over the capital to come and enjoy the flowers, and now there are still ignorant people making a fuss outside. ”
"You, after living for so many years, still haven't figured it out. You are the tree that stands out in the forest.
I have lived to such an old age, and when I close my eyes, I can see nothing.
The marriages of the children in the family should be decided quickly while the family is busy before the New Year. “
The two people's voices gradually faded away. Shi Zelan admired the flower in front of her very seriously. It was indeed blooming beautifully.
After Shi Zelan took a walk around, she found Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu and said that she wanted to go to the teahouse to sit for a while.
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu followed Shi Zelan out of the courtyard. They found a seat in a nearby teahouse and sat down, listening to people talking about the bustle at the old lady's house.
Master Decheng and his group were sitting in a private room on the second floor of a teahouse they often visited. They were observing the sky above the old woman's yard, and occasionally they would pay attention to the people coming in and out of the yard gate.
After Shi Xiaoliu, Shi Zelan, and Xia Yu left the courtyard, Master Decheng's eyes flashed with relief: "Look, the evil spirit has dissipated."
After seeing this, Qi Yuan Zhenren breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I still have to deal with it tonight. I don't want to cause chaos in the world because of this."
"Hey, the fragrance of the flowers has faded a lot. No wonder flowers will eventually wither after their peak."
"Let's find a chance to go in and enjoy the flowers in the afternoon when there are fewer people."
In a dark cave outside the capital, at the moment when the evil spirit on the flowers in the old woman's yard disappeared, a scream of extreme pain was heard.
"Who ruined my good thing?"
The shadow outside the cave sneered, flashed directly into the cave, and pinched the charming woman's neck with two fingers.
"How dare you touch the people I want to protect."
He pinched the charming woman with two fingers, and she turned into a drooping flower in his hand. The shadow sneered, "You want to escape by revealing your true form?"
The drooping flowers raised their heads, and the shadow grabbed the flowers directly. After flashing out of the cave, he slapped down with his palm, and the cave collapsed.
In the distance, the river was flowing forward. The shadow squeezed the flowers into juice and threw it into the river. The shadow reached into the river, but saw nothing.
"Alas." A long sigh spread in the wind, but no one heard it.
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked up at the sky at the same time, then frowned and said to Master Qiyuan and his brother, "We will find a way to go into the yard to enjoy the flowers later."
After checking the time, Qiyuan Zhenren and Qicheng Zhenren said to Decheng Zhenren and Shanzheng Zhenren: "There are more people gathering here. Let's go to the courtyard and take a look at the situation. You wait here for us to come back."
The brothers rushed downstairs first. Master Decheng sighed to Master Shanzheng, "I don't know what's inside this ordinary family that has attracted so many troubles."
"If our ancestors don't live up to their expectations, it will bring disaster to future generations."
"Yes, you have a deep understanding of this."
Shanzheng Zhenren looked at Decheng Zhenren and sighed, "What do you want to tell me?"
"I want to remind you that Xia Yu will definitely cause trouble in the future. You should ask Sister Lan to be more cautious."
"Don't worry, Sister Lan looks at him in the same way as she looks at Xiaoliu."
"Yes, Beichen had the same personality back then, and I don't know how many outstanding female cultivators he missed."
"Brother, if you envy Junior Brother's popularity with women, you are actually no worse than him in this respect.
If you want to get married, as long as you spread the word, I'm afraid there will be countless outstanding female cultivators who will come to you on their own initiative. ”
While they were chatting, they saw Master Qiyuan and his brothers successfully enter the yard. They closed the windows a little and listened carefully to the gossip downstairs.
"I came too late. When my brother-in-law came to my house yesterday to tell me the news, he said he could smell the fragrance of flowers in the house.
I came here today, and when I first entered, I could still smell the fragrance of the flowers, but later I could no longer smell the fragrance of the flowers.
I thought I had lived in the orchid for so long that I didn't even notice its fragrance. Lao Zhang, am I saying this in the right place?
Hahaha. ”
"I just stood at the gate of the yard again, and indeed I couldn't smell a strong fragrance.
I think this light floral scent makes people feel comfortable after smelling it. ”
Master Decheng sighed, "Now that one incense demon has left, I wonder what's coming next."
"It's a pity that in this situation, we can't let the flowers wither in front of everyone."
“Qi Yuan is in trouble this time.
Oh, never mind. After they come back and tell us what happened, we’ll go into the yard and take a closer look. ”
After a pot of tea, Master Decheng ordered another pot of tea upstairs, and also ordered the most famous vegetable cake in the teahouse.
When the Qiyuan brothers came back, they said to Decheng and Shanzheng with some regret: "The old woman's yard is almost becoming a den of demons.
No wonder I heard before that the old lady is very good at taking care of various plants. ”
"Have they all become spirits?" asked Master Decheng with some concern.
"I didn't think things through. Plants that have grown over the years can easily develop a heart of Taoism without even realizing it, and I happened to help them unintentionally."
"Brother, this can't be blamed on you.
No one would have thought that when the old lady got married, she went to her husband's hometown to dig up so many plants. ”
Shanzheng Zhenren looked at Qicheng Zhenren and asked: "Where do these plants grow in the barren mountains?"
Master Qicheng nodded and said, "After we went in, we accidentally heard an old servant say that the old woman has always been kind to the weak. When she returned to her husband's ancestral land to worship her ancestors when she got married, she always remembered to bring back some flowers and plants from the mountain."
After hearing this, Master Decheng sighed and said, "The elders in her husband's family do love her."
"It seems that since she got married, her husband's family's financial situation has improved a lot."
Shanzheng Zhenren sighed and said, "Alas, I remember what Lan Jie'er said, whether she is truly loved depends on whether she acts without scruples."
"Sister Lan is always right about something."
After sighing, Master Decheng said to Master Qiyuan and his brothers: "After a daughter in the secular world gets married, she becomes the water poured out of the house."
