Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 645 644. Bathing in Fox Fur
"Ugh……"

Outside Luoyang City.

Shoujing sighed.

Sitting on the tea stall, he muttered to himself in the air:
"After all, I still feel sorry for you."

No one knew why he suddenly made such remarks, and none of the people who came to drink tea at this tea stand were rich people.

Most of them are small vendors, pedestrians, passing by thirsty, or just eating a bowl of idle food when they are hungry.

So when they heard this, everyone glanced at him abruptly, seeing that the young Confucian scholar seemed to be well dressed and had a good temperament, so they didn't dare to provoke him.

Just pretend you can't hear it.

After Shou Jing said this, he didn't wait too long, took out a few copper coins and threw them on the table, then got up and looked at Luoyang City not far away.

Today's Luoyang city wall seems to be repairing something. There are four tall buildings at the corner of the city wall. People are constantly repairing things with hemp ropes on them, but they are too far away, and they don't know what they are doing.

He shook his head slightly:
"It's changed a lot."

Although this was the first time he came to Luoyang, the memories rolling in his mind still unconsciously made him express such emotions.

Then walked all the way towards the gate of the city.

After entering the city, he looked around curiously, wandering along the Luoshui River.

I walked all the way to the bridge, crossed the bridge straight, and walked towards the direction of Beicheng.

After passing through Beicheng, it was as if he had returned to his own home, and he soon arrived at "Li's Mansion".

He didn't mean anything out of the ordinary, so he went directly to knock on the door.

"Bang Bang Bang."

Soon, the door opened, and Li Zhong's ordinary eyes appeared in front of the door.

"I don't know who the guest is looking for?"

"I'm looking for you, Uncle Zhong."

Shou Jing did not regard herself as an outsider at all, and said with a smile:

"I am Shoujing."

"...!"

Li Zhong was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face:
"It turns out that Mr. Shou Jing is here, please."

"Eh."

Shou Jing responded, then his footsteps stopped suddenly, but he returned to normal immediately.

But after entering the door, he said:
"Uncle Zhong, this Baiqisi monitors the world...how bad...ah no, once the servant is gone, there will be two more people watching at your door?"

Speaking of this, he had some emotion on his face:
"It's hidden deep enough."

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhong really showed a surprised expression.

Not because he didn't know, but because Shou Jing knew.

"...Mr. Shoujing can sense it?"

"sure."

Shoujing nodded:
"One is hiding in the gap between tree roots and soil, and the other is hiding in bricks and stones... If it wasn't for the things growing underground, I can sense them, I'm afraid I really missed these two people... But I can help the faithful Uncle caught it?"

"Hehe, thank you Mr. Shoujing, but it's still unnecessary."

Li Zhong smiled and shook his head:

"The only person in the world who dares to monitor Baiqisi is Zhulong."

"...Candle Dragon?"

Shou Jingxin said, why is this thing again.

Can't make it through, right?

It was still a candle dragon in the front, so why not just turn into a candle dragon now?

And Li Zhong nodded:
"That's right, Miss, did you talk to Priest Shouchu?"

"I told you, that monster lives in the extreme north..."

"Uh……"

Li Zhong was stunned for a while, smiled and waved his hands:
"No, no. Candle Dragon is a team that His Majesty cultivated and built by imitating the hidden door secret technique handed in by Miss. And these people have the same origin as Baiqisi, but they have only one purpose. It is to monitor the Baiqisi. And the title of Candle Dragon is taken because of the origin of the demon-scale heavenly garment that was secretly handed down by the hidden door."

"I see……"

While talking, the two also walked to the main hall.

After entering the room, Shou Jing said directly:
"Master Shi Lang asked me to tell you that Chen Ling was defeated in Liyang. Du Fuwei won a big victory, and now he has occupied Liyang City."

Li Zhong narrowed his eyes, then returned to normal, and asked:
"Anymore?"

"Also, the Sui army produced a crossbow arrow, the Liannu. On the black arrows there is the Yin-Yang family's heart-burning flame, as well as the famous school's theory of ignoring armor."

"! Really made it!?"

Li Zhong looked surprised, and then immediately frowned:
"But why didn't the people from the Military Aircraft Department send a message...Could it be..."

Thinking of this, he nodded quickly:

"Okay, thank you Mr. Shoujing, the old man will spread the news now."

"Well...then I'm leaving too."

"Wait a minute, sir... how is my lady now?"

"Uh……"

Shoujing's gaze suddenly raised to a high place.

After a few breaths, he nodded:
"Li Shouchu is making delicious food for her. The past few days...he looks much better. In the evening, Li Shouchu told her stories and put her to sleep. Everything is fine...but what do you need to say?"

Li Zhong's complexion widened first, and he shook his head slightly:

"Miss is fine."

"Well...you don't have to worry, Uncle Zhong. I'm staying in Luoyang these days, and the servant asked me to help her look after Yang Tong, Hongying and the others. So...if you want to find me, you can come to Chunyou Club. how?"

Hearing this, Li Zhongcai really showed joy:

"Sir, won't you leave?"

"Don't leave for now... Li Shouchu found a better big fat sheep... Hey, just take me for a joke."

Shoujing smiled and waved his hands:
"Anyway, if you have any news, just come to me at any time. I still have to go and see Hongying, so I'll take my leave first."

"So fast? I haven't had time to entertain Mr...."

"Hey, don't be so polite, Li Shouchu can't get a cup of tea here. I'm self-conscious~hahaha~"

After Shou Jing finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly and went out.

Li Zhen with a black line on his forehead was left behind in the south of the Yangtze River.

You can really talk.

thank you.

But after taking two steps, suddenly, Shou Jing turned her head:

"By the way, Uncle Zhong. Where did Xuanzang go?"

"The last time I showed up was in Guanzhong. One person, one bowl, begging for food and leaving."

"Is that so..."

Shou Jing sighed, nodded, opened the door and left.

After going out the door, ignoring the two scrutinizing gazes, he identified the direction and walked directly towards the East Palace.

When he got to the moat of the Eastern Palace, he saw a group of chariots and horses transporting live sheep and what they were doing to the Eastern Palace.

It is definitely impossible to say that it is impossible to sneak in.

He is also not interested in stealing chickens and dogs.

But it might as well follow the team to find the side door of the East Palace.

After a team of soldiers checked the safety of the team's carriages and horses, they let them go.

But at this moment, Shou Jing walked over unhurriedly.

"Who! Stop!"

When this group of soldiers found the guard, they immediately made a vigilant look with their spears erected.

And Shou Jing also raised his hand in cooperation and said:
"Fu Sheng Wu Liang Tianzun, poor Taoist guarding the beginning, came to pay a visit to Lord Hongying."

"Bold! The name of the person in charge..."

The leading soldier hadn't finished speaking when suddenly, a person behind came forward and whispered something.

The soldier's voice suddenly disappeared.

Although he was still skeptical, the sentence just now had no context. Instead, after looking up and down for a while, he asked:
"The Taoist priest's name is Shouchu, right?"

"Exactly."

"...Okay, please wait a moment, the Taoist priest."

"Thank you, Master."

Shou Jing thanked her, then retreated to the side of the road, quietly waiting for Hong Ying's arrival.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, when the soldier turned back again, he brought a piece of news:
"It is inconvenient for the Master in charge to see guests, please go back, Taoist Master."

Although the words were polite, the sense of impoliteness was beyond words.

"...?"

Shou Jing was really stunned.

Hongying didn't see her?

what's the situation?
Can't help but ask:
"Did you say the name of the poor?"

"Of course I said it, but my lord has other important things to do, so I don't have time to see you."

"...????"

Looking at the leaving soldiers, Shou Jing was really dumbfounded.

What does it mean?
What do you mean?Could it be that you really have a new love and forget your old love?
He was completely speechless, but the words were rushed to this point. Could it be possible to sneak in to see what's going on?

Even more unrealistic.

So, he couldn't help but ask the air:
"What should I do?"

……

"I don't know what to do. If I don't see you, you can go back. Maybe they are busy."

Facing the air, Li Zhen said something.

Master Huqiu on the opposite side took a look at him, then continued to sip the cup of tea in front of him without saying a word.

Then I saw Li Zhen paused for a while, and said:
"Stop pretending to be sentimental. Hurry up and go back to the Spring Friends Club to have a look, don't be silly."

After saying this, the person stopped.

But I heard Lord Huqiu sigh:
"The means of the Daoist sect... I really can't see through it."

"...Your Excellency, you mean keep quiet?"

"Ah."

Master Fox Fur nodded:
"One Qi transforms three cleans. I still can't figure out the secret of Taoism not being passed on, why Zhang Daoxuan wants to teach you. Could it be that he trained you as a Taoist leader?"

"I don't believe it."

Li Zhen shook his head without thinking:
"But this technique is really mysterious. Shou Jing and I are obviously two people, and even have two personalities, but...we are still one person. I can't understand it at all. Even if I learn it, I still can't understand it. "

After speaking, he suddenly asked:

"My lord, the next step, are we going back to Jiangdu?"

"Ah."

Master Huqiu responded:
"It's time to go back to Jiangdu. Otherwise, His Majesty will become suspicious... Taoist priest, have you thought about it? Follow me back to Jiangdu..."

Her eyes became serious:
"Du Fuwei's battle completely pushed the Jiangnan gentry to the opposite side of His Majesty. Now, the struggle between the two sides has just begun. Jiangdu will never be peaceful, and in the eyes of outsiders, I am the first person who bears the brunt of the eyes. He is someone who must be eliminated. And I must also pretend that I cannot move Qi to the extreme. If you follow me, you will die in one step...Have you thought about it?"

"...My lord did not unite with the Jiangnan gentry?"

"Do you think I will allow myself to follow His Majesty's old path?"

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled:
"Ha~ If the poor Taoist doesn't come, what will happen to the adults?"

"Of course others will protect me."

"..."

The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched.

And Shoujing already wanted to curse.

Which bald donkey would dare to rob a nun from Pindao!
Who! ! !
Who else! ! ! ! !
Ignoring the unscrupulous Confucian scholar in his mind who was jumping and cursing, Li Zhen just wanted to ask who it was, but the woman laughed to herself.

That smile really eclipsed everything.

The Taoist priest was directly stunned.

"Just kidding. Who in the world doesn't know that walking with me is no less than seeking skin with a tiger? Help me? Heh... who would dare?"

She waved her hand indifferently:
"If you are not here, my actions will be restricted at most, and I will not come out once I live in the palace. And who in this world can kill me by crossing the eyelids of No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] in the world? And If you are here, I can go around again, depending on what you mean... It seems that as long as I am not enlightened, I can handle it, right?"

"Er...that's right."

"That's enough. If the person who comes is really enlightened, we can't stop him."

Seeing Master Huqiu's unrestrained appearance, Li Zhen found...sometimes it is really hard to think that she is a woman.

but……

"My lord, when shall we go on the road?"

"Tomorrow. I want to take a day off today."

Master Huqiu held the teacup and spoke in an unusually relaxed manner.

After hearing this, Li Zhen nodded:

"That's it... When Pindao was cooking porridge, he suddenly saw a few wooden barrels piled up next to him. He thought they were used for bathing by those who had rested before. My lord has been working hard for so long, but Pindao needs to burn them." A tub of hot water for a bath?"

"..."

The woman paused as she wanted to drink tea.

The focus of both eyes instantly focused on the Taoist.

"Bath?"

she asked softly.

Li Zhen nodded:
"That's right, take a bath. It seems that you haven't taken a bath after meeting the poor one, right? This journey is full of dust and dust, why don't you take a bath and go on the road again?"

"Is that so..."

Looking at the Taoist's clear eyes, Master Huqiu thought for a while, then nodded:

"Alright, I wanted to go back to Jiangdu and take a bath in the warm soup specially drawn from the ground by the gate... But since someone wants to serve me in the bath, and he is a Taoist... then it's up to you."

"Ha~"

Li Zhen was suddenly happy.

Get up quickly:
"That poor man will boil water for the adults."

"There's no need to burn it, just give me the barrel to clean it inside and out."

"Hey, okay! The tower is big!"

hum~
Bright golden light.

Eyebrows beaming, the Taoist who seemed very excited for some reason waved his hand:

"Come to work!"

And looking at the back of the Taoist running towards the backyard with eyes full of excitement, the woman showed a smile that was not a smile.

But for a moment, for some reason, a slight blush appeared on her original face.

In a flash.

……

"My lord, clean up!"

In front of the huge wooden barrel, Li Zhen showed off his achievements as if showing off.

For the cleanliness Master Huqiu said, he forcibly scraped off a layer of skin from the wooden barrel...

Absolutely clean, absolutely no secondary pollution.

He even took the only screen in the station and blocked it in front of the barrel.

At the same time, he also blocked the pervert in his mind who was clamoring to drink Scarlett Johansson's bath water.

What are you guard rand!
"Ah."

The woman responded and glanced at the table in this room.

On the table, there is a set of things that are the only ones that appear abruptly in this room.

Paper, ink and pen.

Ink, already ground.

After thinking about it, she snapped her fingers, and the bucket of ice water began to smoke.

Then suddenly came a sentence:
"Wouldn't anyone want to do that little thing?"

Li Zhen is serious:
"Don't worry, my lord! Absolutely not!...Hmm! You, come out!"

Suddenly, with a flash of golden light, the struggling little snake was pulled out from Master Huqiu's cuff, and then thrown outward:
"Go, go, don't peek, do you hear me?"

After the words fell, a fish jumped out of the long river of time without making a sound.

In a state of absolute slowness and stillness, Li Zhen quickly came to the Four Treasures of the Study, and began to write rapidly with a pen in his hand.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths.

After three breaths, the golden light has not faded, but the two pages of paper have been filled with writing.

No one will notice.

Because the golden light has wiped out everything, anything that can be done with qi except the Taoist himself.

After three breaths, it returned to normal, and the golden light slowly dissipated silently.

Returning to the original place, the Taoist who seemed to have never moved before bowed:
"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, my lord, please take a bath with peace of mind, and I will go out now."

"Ah."

Lord Huqiu, who seemed to know nothing, responded.

Then, Li Zhen backed out and helped close the door.

As soon as he went out, he stared at the little snake surrounded by golden light, shrugged at the pair of snake eyes, walked forward, and said in a low voice:
"Don't even think about it, the poor can't see it, how can I let you see it... Or, save the bath water for you later?"

"hiss~"

The black snake spat out the letter, stared at Li Zhen for a moment, and finally curled up in a circle. With the disappearing golden light, it directly clung to Li Zhen's hand and turned into a black bracelet, with the head and the tail in place, frozen.

After a while.

Suddenly, Li Zhen felt a fleeting fluctuation of the energy of heaven and earth in the room where Master Huqiu was bathing.

Then, there was a splash of water.

Mr. Huqiu's bathing has begun.
