Jiaochu

The green shadow disappeared around a corner. When Ye Lingxi followed, she found that the person was gone. She took a few steps forward, stopped, and looked back.

People appeared behind her.

She turned around and Green Jade saluted her.

Do you need to be polite before fighting?

"The princess has been following the slave, has she lost her way?" Lu Yu asked.

It seemed that he had lured her here on purpose. She thought to herself, "It turns out that the girl has discovered me a long time ago."

Luyu said: "Your Majesty asked me to go visit the master. He is just ahead. Princess, do you want to go with us?"

Will you please enter the urn?

She looked forward and saw that the alley was deep and the shadows of the trees were dancing. She felt that the place where Mrs. Xiao lived should be quite secluded. She probably couldn't even see any human beings. If she went there, it would be considered a trap. If she didn't go, she wouldn't. Now we know who Mr. Xiao is and what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd.

After thinking quickly, she asked, "Girl, do you mind if I bring one more person?" She clapped her hands, and a figure flew down from the roof.

The corners of his clothes raised a cold arc in the air, like a clear and deep lake.

It was Yanfei.

"So Mr. Yan is here too." Lu Yu saluted and made an invitation gesture, asking the two of them to go together.

Lu Yu led the way, leading the two of them through the deep and secluded alley in front, and arrived in front of a house. The surroundings were very quiet, except for the rustling of the shadows of the trees. The high walls and deep alleys seemed to isolate the hustle and bustle of the street in another world.

Yan Fei observed the surrounding environment and his eyes fell on the door in front.

Lu Yu knocked on the door. After a while, a servant came over and opened the door. Lu Yu took the two of them in.

There is a cave behind the door, which is like a courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River, with small bridges and flowing water, independent strange stones, shady green willows, abundant pines and cypresses, luxuriant flowers and grass, exquisite birds and their chirping, which is both graceful and elegant, and full of wild interest.

Ye Lingxi admired the layout of the courtyard along the road. When he passed a small bridge, he saw several colorful koi carp swimming in the water under the bridge, some were yellow, some red, and one cyan. Judging from the appearance, he knew they were valuable.

When she was crossing the bridge, she saw another shadow swimming over, a black koi carp. At first glance, she thought it was the black tyrant who had run away from home and slipped in from the koi pond to eat and drink for free. If you look closely, you can see that there are still some differences in body shape. Her Black Overlord is more domineering, has a bigger tail, and has a colder personality. Normally, the dragon never comes out when called.

After getting off the bridge, she saw a wicker chair placed under the weeping willow in front of her. There was a person sitting on the wicker chair, reading a book in his hand. Yanfei also looked in that direction.

The person on the wicker chair was wearing a plain single coat and a loose robe on the outside. His hair was not tied up, only tied with a hair tie. He looked very elegant and comfortable.

This image is different from the old man she imagined. He is neither gray-haired nor weird and serious. Ye Lingxi looked at Yan Fei, and he happened to look over. The two communicated with their eyes, and Lu Yu said, "The master pays attention to health preservation. He often goes to Taoist temples to practice. He never kills animals or eats meat."

It turned out to be a vegetarian, Ye Ling Xixin said.

After Lu Yu brought the two of them over, he bowed and said, "Master, a guest has arrived."

The man on the wicker chair took away the book in front of him.

Ye Lingxi thought she could finally see her true face, and felt a little excited inside. She warned herself to stay calm, otherwise others would think she had something to think about the old man.

When she saw that "face", she was stunned for a moment and blinked. A strange look flashed across Yanfei's face, as if she had seen something unexpected. Green Jade is calm and calm, as if he is not surprised by this.

That "face" is not a face, but a mask, and it is a very unique shape. If I have to describe it, it is so ugly that it is not even sold at the stalls outside.

With a pop, Ye Lingxi turned away and smiled. After adjusting his expression, he turned his head and said calmly: "Are you Senior Xiao?"

"Princess has been overrated. Xiao, an old man, can't afford it." His voice was strong and strong. He didn't sound like a person in his fifties or sixties at all, forty at most. His face after taking off the mask was also eye-catching and well-maintained. It's perfect, there's no trace of old age at all, and the word "old" really doesn't come close to it, except for seniority.

Ye Lingxi was a little suspicious of whether the old man had taken some beauty-preserving pills or practiced some beauty-preserving techniques, or was he getting married too early?

When Xiao Ting's eyes fell on Yan Fei, he said, "Go and bring a chair over in the room." He seemed to regard Yan Fei as his follower. Lu Yu introduced: "Master, this is Young Master Yan." Then he said to Yan Fei, "I don't dare to trouble Young Master, just go and leave."

After a while, Luyu came back with a servant, who brought a chair.

"Princess, please take a seat."

After Ye Lingxi took his seat, Xiao Ting said again: "There is a leak in the kitchen and it needs to be repaired."

This time Lu Yu made a gesture of invitation to Yan Fei. Yan Fei looked at Ye Lingxi, worried about leaving her alone here. She reassured him with her eyes, and Yan Fei left with Lu Yu.

When there were only two people left, no one spoke.

Xiao Ting leaned on the back of the chair, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes slightly, and calmed down.

She thought that if she didn't speak, the old man would most likely not speak either. If she was just more patient, she wouldn't necessarily lose to him, but she didn't come all the way here just to be dumb.

"The congratulatory gift sent by senior last time was too valuable."

Xiao Ting raised his gaze slightly and said: "It's just an old thing, not worth much. It's good to leave it alone. It's its destiny to bring some blessings to His Highness."

When she heard that the seven-color jade was not worth much, she thought to herself that the seven-color jade must be fake. Then she thought about it. The Xiao family is rich and has a big business. In the eyes of this old man, it might not be worth much. However, These things are not worth anything, so how many good things must the Xiao family have hidden? Thinking of this, she felt that the old man was glowing with golden light. After gathering her thoughts, she asked, "Senior, do you plan to stay here this time?" How long will you stay?”

Xiao Ting said: "Come from where you came from and go to where you are going."

She remembered that Lu Yu had said before that the other party often went to Taoist temples to practice meditation, and he must have often practiced meditation and discussed Taoism with some Taoist masters. As for the so-called "catching up with others", she also said something to suit the situation, "Unfortunate blessings, unreasonable gains, uncreated things" The bait is the trap of opportunity in this world.”

Xiao Ting said: "It's Tao, but it's very Tao."

She continued: "Tao gives birth to one, and gives birth to two."

Then the two had a discussion.

Then Luyu came back with Yanfei, and Ye Lingxi was also ready to say goodbye. Xiao Ting handed the book he read earlier to Ye Lingxi and asked her to bring it to Xiao Yun.
