There are reasons for everything in the world, and there is no help for no reason, let alone emotion for no reason.

I looked back at the master, and then turned to the "servant" of the Zhou family, he seemed to guess what I wanted to say, and without waiting for me to speak, he smiled and said, "The young master of my family also means to invite your master and his old man and little brother to go with you." ”

It seemed that something was not quite right, but I couldn't think of it, so I looked at Master and waited for his decision. The master took a sip of tea unhurriedly, got up and said, "Then the old man is going to touch the light of the apprentice." ”

Gong Shuhua bowed down respectfully, made a gesture of invitation to the master, and said, "Then lead the way in front of you." ”

Under the watchful eye of the fat shopkeeper with a fake smile, we left the inn. Gong Shuhua walked behind us a little later, introducing us to the history of Liuyun City and the characteristics along the road.

He introduced himself to us and said that he was the third housekeeper of the Zhou house, no wonder he behaved calmly and spoke and acted in an orderly manner. Zhou Zhuneng sent him to pick us up in person, which can be regarded as giving me a face. But why is Zhou Zhu so interested in me, I don't understand at all at this time, just because of letting a grass that he is not known to bloom?

Liuyun City is located in Ninghai and is the first city adjacent to the East China Sea. The first one here is because Liuyun City is located in Ninghai Prefecture, and although our Beishan City is also a part of Ninghai Prefecture, on the one hand, it is located in the mountainous area itself and is not classified in Ninghai, on the other hand, although Beishan City is called a city, the scale is like a mouse and an elephant compared to this Liuyun City. Some of the small cities that passed along the way a few days ago also had very few residents, and it is unknown why the boundary further east of Liuyun City was not drawn to the territory of Ninghai Prefecture.

Legend has it that Liuyun City is a city made of a cloud hanging down from the sky, because it is located in the east of Ninghai Prefecture, it is also known as the east gate of Ninghai Prefecture.

Listening to Gong Shuhua, the existence of Liuyun City is like a border post for the entire mountains and seas, and its mission is to prevent external invasion.

Hearing this, I was a little unhappy, "Outside invasion? Our Beishan City is outside Ninghai, that is, to prevent us from invading? ”

Gong Shuhua smiled, "Of course not, I don't know much about the outside world, and in this peaceful and prosperous world, no one believes this statement for a long time, at most, whose child doesn't sleep, will say that there will be monsters in the outside world to capture him, hehehe......"

People just don't praise him, I just thought he should be a leakless person, and now he is slapped in the face. I didn't want to continue asking questions on this boring topic, so I hummed a few times to vent my frustration.

Master looked at me and smiled, "The reason why Ninghai Prefecture is called Ninghai is because a long, long time ago, there were demon beasts in the East China Sea that made waves, and the human people were displaced, and at that time a great god came, as for what is the name, because the age is too long ago and has long been forgotten, he exhausted his magical powers and fought with the East China Sea Beast King for several months and finally won, and after coming back, he set the boundary of Ninghai Prefecture, and led the clouds from the sky to create this Liuyun City as the whistle of Ninghai, in order to prevent the East China Sea Demon Beast from coming back to invade my territory again, and the great god disappeared subsequently. ”

I listened as I walked and listened with relish, and when I heard this, I asked, "Great God, are you gods and demons?" Where did he go? ”

"It's a human race who practices the Divine Clan, and I don't know where he went," Master looked at me and smiled meaningfully.

Gong Shuhua glanced at the master meaningfully, and arched his hand, "The old-timers are really knowledgeable, and they know us Liuyun City so well, which makes the people of Liuyun who grew up in Liuyun very ashamed. ”

Master smiled and didn't speak.

After walking through the noisy street market, along the main road, I saw several magnificent landmark buildings in the city, the martial arts arena, the stargazing altar, the sacrificial rooftop, the library pavilion, and then the swallow building that listened to Gong Shuhua talk about cooking is very delicious, and the chef invited to the banquet today is also from here.

When I passed by the Swallow Tower, I smelled the fragrance coming from the store, and my stomach gurgled out. Gong Shuhua smiled when she saw this, and couldn't help but take us to speed up our pace, and came to Zhou's house while talking.

The mansion of the Zhou family is the same as Zhou Zhu's body type, although it is not round, but it is also full of wealth at a glance, and it is not appropriate to say that it is a "local tyrant" in today's words, I am afraid that more than half of the entire Xicheng is their family.

The luxurious interior of a mansion is nothing more than looking at the pavilions, whether the exterior is magnificent, it must look at the two gates.

Looking at the gate of the Zhou family again, on the three floors of slightly red steps, two huge vermilion wooden doors are like burning clouds on the horizon, and the complex cloud patterns carved on them have a faint sense of swimming. The two closed doors look like a whole natural stone wall from a distance, and at the bottom of the steps and on either side of the door stand two lifelike statues of unknown beasts. I opened my mouth and felt the wealth leaking from their family, maybe this is what people often say about the gap between the rich and the poor. Looking at my gaffe, Gong Shuhua chuckled, untied the bell hanging on his waist and shook it a few times, and the two vermilion doors slowly opened.

Gong Shuhua said "please", and I dragged the placket of Master's clothes and walked into the gate of Zhou's mansion with a look around.

Facing the door is a shadow wall, like a screen in the room that blocks the view, and this shadow wall is not necessary for me to say seriously, the entire architectural pattern of the Zhou family is layer by layer, as if it is built on a slow and steep slope, the higher it goes, if it is not for the wall of the Zhou family's courtyard built very high, I am afraid that the scene in the courtyard can be seen from a little distance, and they don't understand the truth that wealth is not exposed.

Bypassing the shadow wall is facing a small lake, a few slightly purple red lotus flowers are drilled out between the lotus leaves on the lake, and in the center of the lake is a delicate small pavilion, connected to the shore by a white stone arch bridge, and a few maids are busy in it.

There are some unknown spiritual grasses hanging on the rocks that rise high and low around the city, and the two paths on the shore are the passages in and out of the inner courtyard, bypassing the lake, and only then arriving at the place where the Zhou family lives their daily life.

Along the stone road in the middle, Gong Shuhua introduced us to the small courtyards on both sides, he didn't listen carefully to what he said, the general meaning is that all kinds of functions, different people live, rows of houses, all kinds of flowers and plants, insects and fish, birds and beasts, I was dazzled.

After walking inward for a while, after passing another wall, I came into view of a wooden building covered by clouds, a huge wooden building three stories high. Saying huge refers to its width, which extends almost from one end of the courtyard wall to the other, and there seems to be aura around it. It can be said that it is covered by clouds not because of how high it is, but because the clouds are falling and falling like a waterfall on the roof of the building. Without waiting for me to take a closer look, Gong Shuhua led us to the main court.

Before he could enter the door, he felt the ground around him shake a few times, and a hearty laugh came before a fat figure appeared.

"Hahahaha, the little brother can come to my Zhou family to appreciate the light, it really makes the humble house shine." After speaking, he made a junior salute to my master.

"It's still a cold house, is this fat man slapping me in the face?" I thought disdainfully. Of course, I said that I would definitely not say it, I said to Zhou Zhu with a smile, "What did Zhou Zhu Gongzi arrange for us to eat at today's banquet?" ”

He didn't expect me to be so direct, so he paused for a moment and then smiled, "Hahaha, the craftsmanship of the top chef of Swallow House will definitely not disappoint you, we will have a good taste later, please." After speaking, he glanced at Gong Shuhua.

Gong Shuhua arched her hand, "I'll go and arrange it, the old-timers and the little son, I will retire first." ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zhu rushed over enthusiastically and grabbed me with his big fleshy hand, "Come on, come on, please, I specially asked someone to pick the spiritual tea from Tongwu Mountain in Pucheng, Yuejing, I heard that this tea fairy drank it and said yes, sit down and taste it." ”

Under the pressure of the aura of a mountain of meat, I was put on the seat, Zhou Zhu beckoned, and a woman with a beautiful face came up, respectfully making tea for us.

As a stream of water flowed down, the tea leaves tumbled in the pot and stretched out, like the most cheerful elves in heaven and earth constantly chasing and dancing, and bursts of aroma spread out. The woman poured a glass for each of us and bowed back.

"Come on, come on, drink while it's hot." As I drank it, I thought to myself, "Is he really not afraid of being hot?" ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Zhu shook off the flesh on his body and said, "When I saw it in a hurry on the street just now, I felt that the two of us were fateful. ”

Seeing that Master and I didn't react to his words, he laughed dryly twice and continued, "I won't go around the bend anymore, there is a grass in my family, the one you saw earlier, which was accidentally discovered by an elder of my family when he was hunting a long-tailed pine deer in the mountains. At that time, the clan uncle chased to the foot of a mountain, and saw that the pine deer fell to the ground in an instant, and the grass grew in a small puddle next to it. It is said that there is hardly any breath of life around the grass, and the clan uncle thought it was strange, so he dug it up and brought it back to the house to raise. I haven't seen any changes in it since then. I also had a whim on the street that day, but I didn't expect to really meet a master, you said that the two of us are very fateful. ”

After saying that, the fat man stared at me, not knowing what to expect. After hearing this, the master also frowned and squinted at Zhou Zhu.

I looked at Master and wondered if I should say why. I saw the master pick up the teacup, put it under his nose and smell it, said "good tea", took a sip and then said, "Pucheng is located in the south of Yuejing and the Wushan Mountain in Kunnan across the water, its Tongwu Mountain is tens of thousands of zhang high, and it is also 20 million miles away from Liuyun City, so Young Master Zhou Zhu bothered. ”

Zhou Zhu's face trembled a few times, and he tried to squeeze out a smile, and said, "The seniors are really well-informed, if you like it, I will ask for more seniors later." ”

Master smiled, "Liuyun Pavilion in Liuyun City, there are many clouds and mist on the lower mountain. After many years of seclusion, after the battle between the Great God Mang and the East China Sea Demon Beast, he shouldered the responsibility of guarding Ninghai Prefecture. How many generations have passed, Liuyun City can indeed be regarded as prosperous, and your Zhou family has contributed a lot. ”

I saw that the smile on Zhou Zhu's face suddenly froze, "What do you mean, old-timer, my Zhou family is a famous family in Liuyun City, yes, it's not a hidden world." A pair of eyes that were almost covered by flesh kept looking at the master, and the questions on his face seemed to be really expressed from his heart.

"The old man is not mistaken, your grandfather's name is Zhou Yunkun." After speaking, the master took another sip of tea.

Zhou Zhu was taken aback, hurriedly stood up, twisted the flesh between his eyebrows and looked at us, thoughtfully. Immediately afterwards, he hugged his fists, "I don't know the old senior's surname, the younger generation, Zhou Chengyun, the eldest son of Zhou Chengyun, the contemporary head of Ninghai Liuyun Pavilion." ”

Master smiled, "Since your family has invited me and my apprentice from far and wide to come here, why don't you come out yourself." ”

After speaking, a golden light suddenly appeared outside the door, only to hear a haha,

"Elder Yi Mingzi is really a blessing for my Zhou family to come to the cold house."

The one who spoke was a wealthy old man who was a few days younger than Zhou Zhu, the old man was dressed in a yellow robe, embroidered with thousands of clouds on it, holding floating dust, smiling, and slightly bowing to the master, "Brother Dao hasn't seen you for a long time, I was busy arranging a banquet just now, and I didn't come to greet him in person, so don't blame." My grandson, Zhou Zhuke, is the child I value the most among the younger generation, very similar to when I was young. The old man specially arranged for him to greet the two, and I apologize for the inconsiderate hospitality. ”

In the blink of an eye, the old man appeared in front of me with some undispersed mist, and I didn't even see how he had come.

He looked at me, let out a light "huh", and twisted his beard, "The little guy who refines qi and has a heavy sky, his breath is calm, and the spirit platform is clear, this source pool actually makes me a little unable to see through, it's weird." Yi Mingzi, he seems to be your first apprentice, aren't you ......"

The master threw down his sleeves and said, "The apprentices of this Dao don't need you to judge their heads and feet, let's say, from the time we entered Liuyun City, what is the purpose of your series of actions!" ”
