You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Three days later, Shi Zelan and Wanyu were on the river bank and heard the gossip of people walking on the river bank.

The two were surprised after hearing what they said, and Wanyu immediately expressed her desire to go into the city to take a look at the situation.

After Wanyu left, Shi Zelan sat on the river bank, listening to the noises at the bottom of the river and looking at the excitement on the surface of the river.

She also took the time to listen to the gossip on the riverbank, where they talked about some interesting things in the city.

For example, Mr. Zhang was so angry at his son that he almost died, but in the end he still followed his son's wishes and let the woman in through the small door.

“As parents, as long as their son can hold on for a few more days, they will fulfill their child’s wish.

This young man doesn't have much in mind for that woman. How good can a woman who comes in through a small door be? "

Shi Zelan looked up and saw them walking away while shaking their heads, and then he saw someone screaming on the river.

"The ice has cracked here, everyone hurry to shore."

Shi Zelan pinched the cracked ice lightly a few times with her fingers, trying to keep it as intact as possible.

The people on the river walked toward the riverbank. When they reached the shore, Shi Zelan let go of her fingers.

"twitter."

People standing on the river bank saw the ice on the river surface cracking into ice cubes, and they were all very grateful that they had reached the shore early.

"Let's rest for a few days. After a few days, we will come back to the river to take a look."

"Spring is here, and it's time for the snow to melt."

"No rush. If it doesn't work this year, we'll have experience next year."

There were fewer and fewer people on the river bank.

When the cold wind blew, the ice on the river gathered together again.

When Wanyu came back, she saw Shi Zelan sitting on the river bank meditating.

"Sister Lan, there were a lot of people on the riverbank just now, were you able to concentrate and meditate?"

Shi Zelan looked at her and smiled: "I want to get used to it. I can meditate and practice in a crowded place."

"I can't do that. As long as there are people talking around me, I can't concentrate on meditating and practicing."

"Did you then act alone, while you were down there in the river?"

"Oh, no, we definitely support each other. We rarely talk."

Shi Zelan looked at Wanyu curiously and asked, "You two have little time to communicate?"

"At first, we hardly communicated with each other, but as we spent more time together, we started to communicate and we all became easy to get along with."

Shi Zelan and Wan Yu talked about what happened on the river, and then talked about some of the situations on the river bank.

After hearing what she said, Wanyu asked, "Lan Jie'er, don't you care what I see and hear after entering the city?"

“What do you see?
What did you hear?

“I didn’t see anything. When I went there, the yard was open. Zhongya took people in to look at the yard, and I followed them in.

That family took great care of their yard, and took away everything they could, and left everything they could in good condition.”

Wan Yu looked at the expression on Shi Zelan's face and said, "Sister Lan, do you think this place will become a new battlefield?"

"The situation over there is good, so this place can't become a battlefield."

"What's the situation over there?"

"I don't know what's down there, but considering the ordinary people in the mortal world, we can't just open the road to the wind outlet."

"If you encounter an opportunity like your master's, Sister Lan, will you jump or not?"

"Jump."

Shi Zelan directly responded to Wanyu's question and asked her, "What about you?" Wanyu thought about it seriously, shook her head and said, "I can't dance. I can't bear to leave my master, mistress and fellow apprentices."

"I miss my master, and I also miss Uncle Decheng and Uncle Dejia."

Wan Yu glanced at Shi Zelan and said, "Now I understand why the sect didn't arrange for the three of you to guard the wind outlet."

"The sect hopes that the three of us will have a bright future, and we three are very happy."

"Are you talking yin and yang?"

“From the heart.

The sect has taken such great care for us, if we don’t know what is good for us, we won’t be able to overcome the hurdle in our hearts.”

“Forget it, let me tell you about the excitement in the city.

Sister Lan, Master Zhang just welcomed the third daughter of the Wang family in through the small door, and right after that, his family has already arranged his marriage."

Shi Zelan looked calm, Wanyu looked at her: "Are you not angry?"

"I'm not the father or mother of Wang's third daughter, why should I be angry?"

"Alas, I think the third girl from the Wang family is a little stupid. I went in to see her, and she was actually happy with her current life."

Shi Zelan looked at Wanyu and asked with a smile, "Wang's third daughter was engaged, but she was having a secret meeting with Young Master Zhang.

She had already thought of a way out, and being a concubine had already achieved her goal."

Wanyu thought about it seriously and said, “She is too confident about the relationship between her and Young Master Zhang.

When Young Master Zhang's wife comes home, her life will definitely not be easy."

"No rush, we can at least watch the excitement for a few more years."

But in the following days, Shi Zelan and Wan Yu were not in the mood to go into the city to watch the fun.

They saw off twenty or thirty people one after another, and welcomed more than ten people.

Among them was the Taoist couple mentioned by Wanyu. Shi Zelan observed how the couple got along with each other.

She found that they behaved rather reservedly, but there was light in their eyes when they looked at each other.

Shi Zelan turned to Wanyu and said, "I think they are very close."

Wan Zhu was surprised and said, "Sister Lan, when have they ever been close? Even when they are talking together, you and I can get in between."

Shi Zelan rolled her eyes at her unhappily: "I have no interest in getting in between Taoist couples, and I don't want to listen to lovers talking about love."

In the evening, more than a dozen new people went into the water.

Shi Zelan and Wan Yu waited on the river bank for a long time. Seeing that there was no movement below the river, they turned around to leave and listened carefully to the movement below the river.

They immediately heard something wrong, and then half of the group sneaked in, and the other half were driven out.

Shi Zelan and Wan Yu saw the disappointed expressions on their faces and consoled them, "Take a break. If you want to go in the water again, you can try again."

"Two senior sisters, can you tell us about your experience?"

Shi Zelan reached out and patted Wanyu, then smiled and said to the people who stayed behind, "Your Senior Sister Wanyu is very experienced in this area. She will explain to you in detail what you need to pay attention to when you go into the water."

Wanyu secretly glared at Shi Zelan, then turned to the people who stayed behind and said, "Actually, we have already come here. No matter what, we have to find a way to sneak in and find a way out."

"Sister Lan, do you have anything to add?"

"I think half of your people have withdrawn this time. Is there a limit on the number of people entering at this time?"

"What Senior Sister Lan said makes sense. How about we try some water again?"

"it is good."

They went into the water again, and this time, they did not come up for a long, long time. (End of this chapter)
