Sleeping Arhat

Chapter 28

After walking for several miles, Wu Xian finally saw the magnificent manor in front of him, with a golden signboard of "Red Plum Villa" hanging high above the door, Wu Xian confirmed that he was right, pulled the copper ring of the lion's mouth and knocked the door two or three times, and then Quietly turned and stood aside.

Not a moment later, a servant came to usher him in. The servant was dressed in a green cloth and straightened up. Seeing Wu Xian's dusty look, he came to ask, "What's the matter, sir, coming to my village?"

Seeing that it was a servant, Wu Xian said, "I have had some misunderstandings with your lady in recent days, and I came here to apologize today." The servant was about 20 years old, with a white face and thin lips, a sharp nose and a pointed face, and teary eyes. The rotation gives people a feeling of shrewd calculation.

Wu Xian then took out two taels of silver from his bosom, quietly put it in the servant's hand, and asked with a smile, "May I ask if Zhu Zhuzhuang's 'Shocking Strike' and Miss Zhu Jiuzhen of 'Xueling Shuangshu' are in Hongmei Villa, the day before yesterday?" I offended Ms. Zhu at the foot of the mountain, and I couldn't make an apology because I was involved in important matters, so I am here today to make amends."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." The servant's attitude changed, and he quickly put the money in his arms, with a warm smile on his face, and said, "I have no right to make decisions. I will go to the backyard to ask the housekeeper for instructions, and I will talk to you in a while."

Wu Xian nodded, then stood there and waited.After a while, the servant came over with a smile on his face again, and led Wu Xian to the main hall. After entering the gate, he passed a long corridor, passed through two halls, and walked through the courtyard. A few brightly colored carps were swimming slowly, Wu Xian was shocked by the magnificent and exquisite buildings and pavilions in front of him, and thought in his heart: what I have seen in my life, I am afraid that only Xu Yuan's family in Xuwang Town, Hanzhong can compare with this place.

After walking for about a cup of tea, they came to the hall. Zhu Changling stood up to greet him with a kind face, while in the hall, Zhu Jiuzhen stood on the right side of the main seat, with a face of reluctance.

Wu Xian sat on the left side. After the servants served the tea, Wu Xian got up, bowed to Zhu Changling, and said slowly: "Miss Zhu, what happened yesterday..." After some talking, Wu Xian finally explained the matter clearly. At this moment, Zhu Changling was stroking his beard, looking the same as before, but Zhu Jiuzhen still looked unhappy and looked at Wu Xian with hatred in his almond eyes, and did not change his mind at all because of Wu Xian's words.

Wu Xian may not know what the girl is thinking, Zhu Jiuzhen is not angry because Wu Xian hurt her pet dog, but Zhu Jiuzhen has always been self-confident about his beauty and dignity, and anyone who sees him will be fascinated. Zhu Jiuzhen was very annoyed by his attitude, and even his playful gaze.

Zhu Jiuzhen couldn't help but think of his cousin Weibi, his love brother. Not only is Cousin Weibi outstanding in appearance and slender, he is also a modest gentleman with superb martial arts skills. It is abominable to come to Zhuangzi to complain.

Wu Xian's body is full of wind and dust, his face covered with wind and sand is dark yellow, and there are few water sources along the way, and his hair is greasy and messy, but it is a bit reluctant to say that he is a beggar.

After waiting for Wu Xian to finish speaking, Zhu Changling got up angrily, and sternly reprimanded Zhu Jiuzhen: "You bitch, I have told you several times to teach you to keep a good watch on that hunting dog, and never let it get out of bondage and hurt others. Second, if it wasn't for nephew Wu Xianxian's superb martial arts skills, if it were other ordinary people, wouldn't they be killed by your vicious dog."

Wu Xian saw Zhu Changling angrily reprimanding Zhu Jiuzhen, he was secretly happy, his face showed a look of intolerance, and said: "Senior Zhu, don't blame Miss Zhu, Miss Zhu is just negligent for a while, besides, I am not injured at the moment, the ending is good, now Firstly, I came here because I have long admired the reputation of my senior's 'shocking strokes', and I came here to pay a visit to my senior, and secondly, I came to explain the whole story clearly, so that Miss Zhu would not misunderstand me. , I don’t think it’s strange.” After speaking, Wu Xian apologized to Zhu Jiuzhen.

"Well, my nephew's magnanimity is really precious. I don't want my nephew to be young, and his martial arts skills are far superior to others. Even this kind of heart is beyond the reach of ordinary people. He really is a hero." Zhu Changling lamented one after another. I made this statement because I heard Qiao Fu's report before, and knew that Wu Xian's martial arts were far superior to Zhu Jiuzhen and Qiao Fu. At this time, seeing that Wu Xian was only [-] or [-] years old, he was very optimistic about Wu Xian's future, so he did not hide it Praise lavishly, deliberately make friends and win over.

"Where, where, I just use the time that others use for eating and resting to practice martial arts." Wu Xian waved his hand and said modestly.

"Senior Zhu is a hero with both talent and virtue. When I was in the Central Plains, I often heard people talking about it. When talking about the two owners of the 'Zhu Wu Lianhuanzhuang', everyone applauded and praised the senior for his benevolence, morality, and martial arts. It is very strong, especially the senior Yiyang Zhi, who stands proudly in the world of martial arts, it is difficult to guard against, and the judge's pen is also superb, unpredictable."

"Haha, thanks to the heroes of the rivers and lakes, that's why I got this reputation." Zhu Changling stroked his beard with a humble and low-key expression, but he couldn't hide the pride and joy in his eyes.

The two started to brag about each other in business, you praised me, I praised you, and before you knew it, the tea was already cold.

"Why don't my nephew rest in my Red Plum Villa for a few days, let the unworthy girl take my nephew to visit the beautiful scenery around my Hongmei Villa, treat my nephew well for a few days, and show the friendship of the landlord." Zhu Changling said.

"Since senior Zhu said so, there is no reason for this junior to refuse." Wu Xian agreed with a smile.

"Hmph." Zhu Jiuzhen sat on the vermilion chair sullenly, feeling unhappy, and made up his mind not to go out for two or three days, just find a servant to take him for a stroll, and then drive Wu Xian out of the manor.

Wu Xian only stayed in Hongmei Villa for one day, so he asked a maid for clarification. Wu Xian inquired and asked clearly. Recently, no one was bitten by Zhu Jiuzhen's hunting dog, but three or four years ago, a farmer was bitten. Arm, and then Zhu Changling, the owner of the village, compensated him with a hundred taels of silver, which is quite benevolent.

If it hadn't been for watching "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji" in the previous life, knowing that Zhu Changling was insidious, cunning and scheming, he tried his best to deceive the defenseless Zhang Wuji, and even set fire to the huge house, it would be a good idea to call him a hero.

Wu Xian's trip was not just for Zhang Wuji, Wu Xian came to Kunlun to deliver a letter, and searched for the Nine Suns Manual, if he could get the Nine Suns Manual, it would be an extra capital to settle down.

As for looking for Zhang Wuji, I have a sense of curiosity and a desire to make use of it. It would be best to have a good relationship with Zhang Wuji during this trip. After all, he is the son of destiny in this world and the future master of Mingjiao. One after another, and the peach blossoms are endless.

Early the next morning, Wu Xian bid farewell just like Zhu Changling. Zhu Changling tried every means to stay, but he couldn't move Wu Xian's heart. Wu Xian went back to the previous inn, bought long ropes, claw hooks, food, bedding, etc., and rode a camel Walking through the mountains, I plan to spend the next month looking for the Nine Suns Scripture.
